Having asumed the position of ass sociate editor in the Pike County de partment ol the Griffin News, I hereby stata to my many friends in said county that in so doing I shall endeavor to get up all the local hap¬ penings from every quarter of the county. It is a well known and con needed fact, that the Griffin News has but few equals and no superiors in the State for local or general read ing matter. It is also the cheapest paper, costing fifty cents a year, the worth of which in reading matter will often be fonnd in a single copy. There fore I hope soon to see it in every household of Pike, and with the ad ditional interest that will be lent by increased attention to this favorite territory of the News, every one in the county should subscribe.

There was nothing else for It, so I took a pick and shovel and went to work on tbe railway embankment, yea, even aa a sob-contractor; that is to say, tbe land was just being cleared and burnt off and my undertaking was to take so many claims, according to tho nature of th<v ground, at a price varying from ten pence to fourteen pence per cubic yard; the mullock was to be dug and wheeled to form the embankment In some cases we met with rocks and other im¬ pediments, and then we didn’t dig at alL We, my mates and myself, went to work about sunrise in the summer, say 5 a. m., and knocked off at sunset We lived in our own cagip, a calico tent, cooked our own tucker, when we had any, drank water that you wouldn’t drown a dog in at home and had altogether a san¬ stuck guinary jolly time work of it However, eventually we on with the and got to within sixteen miles of Bourke, when the water, feed and everything else gave out The weather was as hot as the tophet time thrice heated, and the work for lively trip was abandoned. And a very we had of it down the fifty-five miles of beck line. We had to carry water in our canvas water begs. Out of nine dogs we had with us, six died from the beat, and we ourselves were not too much alive at the finish. I may here say that during the eighteen months I was work¬ ing on the line the only vegetables I tasted were dried apples, rice and broad; the rest of our bill of fare was made up of corned mutton, very occasionally; canned fish, preserved mutton and beef, and very rarely fresh beef. We also consumed kangaroo when we could get it. Sometimes we would poach a couple of jumbucks they (sheep),'and to show to what a stake were reduced, I have often carried two in a sack, and they didn’t weigh more than twenty pounds together.—Australia Letter. Disadvantages of Color Blindness. No man who has this defect should be a physician. He cannot tell whether his patient is flushed or pale. As was said of one such: “How should* he know whether this is scarlet fever? He never saw scarlet in his life. ” Next to the phy¬ sician the chemist is a dangerous man; he must trust entirely to the labels on his drugs; if they change color, and this often indicates that they are deteriorat¬ ing, he does not know, but still sends them out with a cheerful mind. The sick nurse is also disqualified, and for the same reason. After these come the rail¬ way signal man, who reads the red dan¬ ger signal to stop as if it was the green, commanding him to dash on. Then there is the sailor who mistakes the starboard for the port light of a vessel sighted in the night and reads into it a directly op- posite meaning from that it was meant to convey. It is a crime for the color blind to pur¬ sue any of these callings when their de¬ fect has been brought home to them, and there are other trades which it is foolish in them to follow, because they can never compete with those who have perfect vision. The tailor, the milliner, the bouse painter, the dyer are instances of! these. But more than half of the color blind live and die unaware of their defect; among those who are uneducated it frequently passes for ignorance and stupidity, or if known it is concealed as a disadvantage things by them, though in the nature of they are not aware of the mischief they may do through it— Good Words.
