The editors of the Gumming Clarion and the* Alpharetta Free Prczs arc indulging in a little hair pulling The worst punishment each has to bear is-that he is com¬ pelled to read the other’s editorials. Lynching* aie very common I he throughout the country eatehiitg now. it c •hired brother is pret¬ ty often. Mob law is a had thing in general, but there seems to lit no other way "to protect the wives and daughters localities. ot our people, espe¬ cially in some Senator-Elect‘Berry accuses us ol “trying to* be mighiy tuny.’ We simply write things as we see them, and there aie a great many funny things in this world, liut the Senator also says that we are getting out a good paper. In the latter opinion he simply OiMCH.es Georgia with the people of North The farmers seem determined to haVe the subtreasury bill. Out ot a total vote of thirty-six States by representatives at the recent national at meeting only lour votes were cast against the bill. 1 here is not a dissenting State Alliance in the Union. A lawyer is supposed to be zeal¬ ous and r aithful toward his client’ and such traits aie commendable, tor “whatsoever thou doest, do with all thy might,” but there are bounds where reason calls a stop. A lawyer should not resort to felonious means in order to secure an acquittal, as is the case in some instances. There arc few lawyers, however, who jresort to anything like criminal unfairness to gain their point. Hen Holden spent so much time courting the srivl morri-j he had to sadly neglect his Dost, He «ught to make a better paper naw. lie would have married sooner but he couldn't get the money to buy the license with so he had to wait until he got a job of printing a lot of them for the Ordinary, then he kept one. There is but one drawback to the successful and profitable rain¬ ing ol sheep in this section.i£,Mut¬ ton always romman^s a good price, and wool can be grown at a small cost and can be turned into cash readily. In the west men make money rapidly by raising wool at twenty-two would cents per pound. It cost more is to higher. nuse'itJNhere, but the price Sheep need attention and care,JLut they require very little feed even in whiter. There are thousamls^of acre* of mountain land in North Georgia where sheep could get plenty to eat in summer and would only require protection from dogs «nd wild animals, Farming in the sectionjdoe: , main least injihis it not pay— at does not nay those who engage in at under^the present or¬ der of things. We are of the opinion asViany that, as an addition coulu* to*the farm, sheep as be taken care of bv one hand would be more profitable than the labor wt one hand. Wefbelivc this sec- tion is adapted to sheep raising on either a large or small scale, we would like to sec the matter tested. When a voung man begins to look round and banker lifter a wife he had better consider whether he can keep her up to her raising or not. It he thinks he can then it i.. safe to invite her to put her e o es m his chest, but 11 she is ru anc ie is »> n Jy to.erable, I an ,^° U ’ better'bd caie- , , j tor riches take u an go ow, p p , :v7 h a o Tf d y, s.dndard ^ n 1.‘ f , h . if e .

Deputy Sheriff Wood, of Chero¬ kee county, N, C\, wrote a card to our sheriff recently asking him to send his (Wood's) coat to Murphy. Hut Sheriff Pinyan is not so soft as that. ! fe proposes to let Woods come after the coat. We learn from the Courier that the negro Woods liafl under arrest made affidavit that he was not being forced to go and that he went willingly, If he was so anxious to go why did the deputy sheriff have to go to the exoense of coming so tar alter him and why was the ne¬ gro tied so securely it he was will¬ ing to go? He was either per¬ suaded or scared inte making this affidavit. And we see the signifi¬ cant fact stated that the deputy sheriff made many friends whlie tn Kllijav. No doubt some of these many friends connived at his es¬ cape- hlowul out the light, or did something that made it possible for him to seen pc. Then why’ did the marshal of Ellijay carry the negro to Murphy? 11 he might was so anxious to go he surely have gone by himself. There is some¬ thing rotten in .Denmark, and the matter will be investigated. Gould und the Gov. Jay Gould speaks very encour- agingly ot that part of the South which he saw on his recent visit. He was especially Charmed with our state capital, of which he said: “Indeed,I was amazed at the splen¬ did location and fine climate of At¬ lanta. Its elevation is such that its drainage ana health ought to be superior, or equal to, ony southern .city. I found the people every¬ where hospitable; but they are al¬ ways so in the south, While I did not expect it, as I went on a strictly business trip, I was de¬ lighted at the receptions tendered me. And I believe there arc more handsome women-in Atlanta than in any-other city in tfie world. Their rosy cheeks and vivacity impressed me. That must be a grand climate.” When asked what he thought about Governor Northern declining to meet him, he said: “Why, this is a free country.” “The governor ought " to be allowed to . select ns own associates • , It T . would have been very agreeable to »r4e to have met him, and the same not ... to have met . ,. him. 1 , am „ not * r .l. Kta „, While I right pre-eminently as such. I don't think the governor ought to bc criticised for refusing to meet any¬ body. ” A Hill with ail Objertion. A bill has been introduced in Congress by Mr. Featherston to provide for the relief of tiie agri¬ cultural populaion of the United State, and to promote and encour¬ age agriculture.” This is tij be accomplished by jmiyiding “That any citizen of the United States, or any person who has declared the intention of be¬ coming a cjtizcn, who owns and rcsjclt s upon any tract of land containg not less than ten and not more than three hundred and twenty acres of land, and who has at least one-half of said tract of land in actual cultivation, shall be entitled to apply for and receive from the Treasury of the United States a loan, in amount not to ex¬ ceed one-half the assessed value of said tract ot land and the improv¬ ing nts thereon. T hat all loans under this net shall he tore a period of not less than five nor more than ten years, at the option ot the boirower, and shall bear interest at the late of iwo per centum per annum from the date of the loan." \\ bile this bill is a step in the right directon there is one feature about it that will not suit the mers least generally. one-luilf It requires land that at of a man's shall be incultivation before he can get any ol 1 the benefits, and ver\ faimeishave had their in cultivation.

TALLEYfUNO FtCES A MANIAC. Ill* Rwapt from a Tlnlcnt llaitth ut t!i« lOtmls <.f Ilia luaitue I'artnor. In tlio extracts £r Jip the y,f,. mo j rs ’> n „ mention is made of the es- capo the <li*tirj',rai*h<'<l auttiur of thoso "Memoirs" had from meeting a violent death on Brooklyn head its. The inci¬ dent is related in tho volume of Fraser's Magazine for 1850, und its accuracy is vouched for byV less an authority than M. (,'ohnacho, Talleyrand's pri- v . lt(1 soeivtary When Talleyrand fled from Franco ,lt the boginning of the UMgn of Tcr- r>>r lie sought a refuzo in England, Then , , w n . ri ,. lin , (1 umno iestod until January of 179-1, when, on the siippo- that he was morn intimately con¬ nected with the events tliat led to tho execution of I/mis XVI than ho cared to admit, ho received an order to quit KnsUnd, and after vainly appeal in;,' to tho foreign secretary lie sailed for the United States, bearing with him letters of introduction to a number of prom- inent Americans, among them one from the Marquis of Lansdowno to Washington. JIo was accompanied in liis flight by a M. do Beaumotz, with whom, some time after their arrival iti America, Jic formed a partnership for the purpose fitting out a trading vessel. A small wit! -goods for Cal- cutta, whither tho two exiles had ri> solved to jwoceed iu scorch of fortune; and ail that was needed to enable them to put their scheme into operation a fair wind, whiclx, however, the ele- refused. In t!ie interval caused by this,detention Talleyrand had one of ho called liis presentiments, and to its occult warnings lie after - w;in y declared he owed tiro immediate preservation of his life, salvation from shipwreck, and that change in his dos- tiny which led to all the future iuei- dents of Ins eventful career Disappointment and vexation, prev- upon an irritable temper, drove his partner mad. Talleyrand saw insanity in his looks and gestures, but, suffering liiuiself to be led to tho heights of Brooklyn, which overlook the harbor, he turned upon tho maniac and, fixing his eyes sternly upon him, exclaimed: “Beaumet/., you mean to murder mo. You intend to throw me from the heights into the sea below. Deny it, monster, if you can!” Thus apostrophized, the unhappy and conscious stricken maniac quailed beneath the intensity and sternness of his gaze, confessed that such was liis design, that the thought, like a (lash from the lurid tire of lieli, Imd hauhtvd him day and night* and Hinging him- self upon the neck of iiis meditated vic¬ tim lie burst into tears and implored forgiveness. The paroxysm iuvl passed off, and tottering reason had resumed her sway. Deaumetz was oonveyqtl home and placed under medical treat¬ ment, and speedily recovering proceed¬ ed on his voyage alone, never more to bo heard of. “My fato,” said Talleyrand, when speaking, of this incident in after life, “was at work.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
