Georgia’s Credit.
“Among the States, and particularly
among the Southern States, the credit of
Georgia atand* pre-eminent. Kvery obliga
ti> n is met with ‘spot cash’ in advance of
its ma'urify. The State Treasurer recently
passed through here from a visit to New
York, where he wn<i offered all the money he
wanted at 4 and 5 per cent. Georgia ia
now flow tine a 4 per cent, loan at par. 'l’he
hood* ate five and ten doi ! are, with coupon*
attached, calling for interest at 4 per cent
Bhe is the first State in the Union to firm! a
loan at par at this low rate of interest. Sinee
the war *he rate of taxation has been five
ruilla o> ah ve, whieh has kept her credit
up to a hish plane. Besides, theStateowns
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, running
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, 138 mile*,
which pays a ren'al into the treasury at the
rate of one thousand dollar* a day. The
completion of the Cincinnati Southern Road
will nearly double the value of this property
and make it worth fight or ten million* of
dollar*, a sum equal to tbe entire debt of
Georgia.”
The above, taken from a prominent Ohio
journal, will be read with pride by every
Georgian. There was a time when such
thirg? could not be said with truth. Under
the administration of Bullock the credit el
the State was at a low figure Profligacy
stealage, and general dishonesty among those
in power nearly ruined the good old State
But when, in a fit of desperation, the pcsple
made one superhuman effort to shake < ff this
paralysing incubus, and succeeded, a most
gratifying change took plaeg. With tbe
inauguration of Dernocratie rule came con
fidence ; with confidence came a revival of
tbe varied industries in the State ; and with
these enme back, in part, the good name of
Georgia. Illegal bonds were thrown aside,
but tbe honest and just obligations cf the
Slate were promptly recognized. Wallstreet
opened its eyes ; those who held legal elaims
became easy ; and now •‘the credit ol Geor
gia stands pre-eminent I”
Far different would he the case had the
Radicals continued in power. Her credit
would have died, her good name departed,
and one of Ibe grandest members of the fam
ily of sovereignties boon the butt of ridicule
the world over. Bat a kind Providence
watched over Georgia. Her loving children
gathered about her. Those wha, in the
childhood of the nation, appeuling to heaven
for the rectitude of their intentions, pledged
“their live*, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor” in its defense, were not more earnest
in their purpose or exalted in their devotion
to the Stale as it stood on the verge of ruin.
As wise counsels and prudent action began
to prevail, tbe star of hope once more shone
bright and clear. Honor took the place of
dishonor ; capable, faithful men displaced
those destitute of every qualification to
go*aM mt administer tU law. A oneness of
feeling, a unity of purpose, was dominant,
and now Georgia's name stands out More
the world in all its pristine glory—proud,
peerleM, grand.
Laborers Comino.—ln view of the fact
that many planters in Southwest Georgia
have had great diffi.'iilly in obtaining hands
to work this year, efforts arc being made to
secure kelp Irom Florida. The Albany
Advertiser say*:
Some of our planters seem to hnTe con
aid. rable trouble in procuring field hands
for the present year, and have been going
and sending to Florida for them. One of
our prominent farmers arrived with a squad
from Tallahassee last Monday. The trouble
with the negroes ol this eeciioo seems to be
that too many of them want to rent land and
farm ta themselves.
TRAMrs.— How to get rid of these nuis
ances, dangerous as they sometimes are, is
becoming an important question in some lo
calities. The Conyers Examiner prescribes
a remedy which it will cost but little to try,
and may be efficacious :
"A good way (or our council to rid Con
yers of the festive tramp, when caught beg
ging around town, would be to have him
arrested and fine him two or three dollars, or
so many days an the streets. He will of
course choose the latter, and the first oppor
tunity you give him be will “skip ’’ and with
a feeble effort on the part of the Marshal to
capture him, he will make his escape never
to return.”
A Rebuxr—The Wesleyan Christian Ad
vocate very pointedly rebukes the secular
prese for its flippant allusions to divine
things in connection with men inofficial life
Tbe censure is timely. Too often these
impious expressions are indulged in by per
sons wbo profess to be in tbe same class with
those at whom the flings were made ; and
tb#n, too, they can be justified on no moral
ground. Ths practice is * bad one, and
thou Id not be indnlged is.
Y\ hat is known as tbe Mitchell cotton
claim, now before tbe Senate., is for cotton
seized by tbe Federal army in its march

A letter from Washington to the firming
Post, of New York, describes the House of
Representatives a? a very impressive body.
It was not necessary for the writer to *av
that it was his first visit to the Capitol, j
should like to read a letter of his, written
with 'he same frankness and honesty, aftir
the Hose of this short session I should
want him to fm present in the gallery during
» row and to attend all th* night sessions
and the closing ceremonies. I should want
him al«o to keep his eye on certain members

number* murine drunk once in n while ; he
will *re dozen* of member-* squirting tubuc< o
juiee over carpets that cost st> a yard ; he
will see score* of members smoking in the
chamber during the sitting; he will see
members stretched out on the sofas asleep,
and he will hear them snore; he will see
members wiih both feet on their desk, sitting
on their backbone; he will see members
munching apples while attending to the
public business ; he will see occasionally a
memhar with his boot off, easing his corns,
«nd he will see much elre that will detract
somewhat from his description of an impres
sive body A few ye.ira ago a member from
oae of the Southern States, now happily out
of putilic life, was in the habit during the
sittings of the House of tak'ng out his false
teeth and wiping them on his coat sleeve and
picking them with his finger nail Another
member was in the habit of combing his h.fir
with a fine-tooth comb while listening to
speeches lie was very tidy about it, and
always spread a newspaper on his desk to
prevent soiling it with thv result of his la
bors. A member of the House from Keu
tucky at tne close ol last session went into
(lie committee room of appropriations, took
off his boots arid stockings, perched him
self on the hack of a chair and proceeded to
wash h s feet in the marble wash ba*in. One
thing may be said of him, however, he wa« a
member of the committee. Heveral other
members wire present whose stomachs were
turned, and one member, Mr. Hewitt, In,iked
at the Kentuckian for a moment, and be
tween ins teeth uttered the word “d imnation”
and bolt'd from the room. This member
was d> feuted for re-election, and it is said
that his habit of occasionally washing his
flit was what defeated him. Mis eonaiitu
ents did not w»nt their member to wa-h his
feel and Ira lace in the same ha-in There
are many strange people in Washing on
One of them is a brother of a distinguished
general in the urmy. He is not very old,
nut his hair is white, ucid bis flowing whis
kers are like snow. He has rooms in the
Corcoran building, and i» said to be very
rich He drives a handsome pair ofbor*>-s.
and his rooms are furnished iu the quaintest
fashion He has been agi eat traveler uod
has picked up the queerest odds and ends
for his rooms He lias the oldest furniture
that can be procured, and he has a penchant
for the skins of wild an mauls. The floors of
his rooms ure covered with tbe skins of white
bears, black bears, tigers, wolves, leopards,
foxes, and other animals. This gentleman’s
peculiarity is ia having a servant who never
leaves eight of him. If he walks on the
aveuuc Joe is somewhere behind him ; if he
goes to church Joe watches in th«^, vesti
bule ; if he goes to tbe theatre Joe wril be
foond looking down opon him from the
gallery ; if lie drives, Joe is alwttys at bis
side. F\en the boys in the slreal are in the
habit of watchiug for Joe whenever the
muster is in sight. What if Joe should die?

Preachers’ Salaries.
There are a few dominies in the large
cities who get large salaries for the services
rendered the church. There is a prevailing
opinion that ministers of the gospel get very
limited pay. Home, however, contend that
they are as well paid, as a class, ns any other
class of men. We are confident that a few
get by far more in proportion to the service
rendered than any other class. Notably, of
these, ia the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of
Brooklyn Tabernacle, New "York. He is
paid a salary of $20,000 a year, for preach
ing twice on Sunduys and presiding at the
Friday evening prayer-meeting. Ha has a
three months vacation every year, so tbe
$20,000 are paid him for three w*rvices a
week, or 108 in nine months. Hence you
see he gets $185.18 for each time be ap
pears before tbe public.
In tbe same city, Brooklyn, R> v T. De-
Witt Talruage gets a salary of $l2 000. He
preaches twice on Sundays ami ha* a prayer*
meeting. He lectures once a week and at
tenfls a prayer-meetiug. He supervises the
lory College, and visi*.a the Sabbath schools.

Nee York, gets a salary ol $15,000 lor
ussuming the responsibility to ill* corpora

Old Tipp« tauoe , » Couaia.
There died one day last week, in this vi
cinity, an aged and eccentric man unmed
Alvin Harrison. He was about 73 years of
age, and was a cousin of Kx-Pre*ident Har
rison. In 1840 be was a promising young
lawyer of Rose cunty, Ohio, and stnmpcd
the State in the interest of his consin, ‘ Old
Tippecanoe.” Several years thereafter he
quit the practice of l3w and took up the
study of medicine, f.ater on he hreame en
gaged to a young lady, and at lust the happy
dav was fixed for the celebration of the mar
riage But before the arrival of the event
ful day the young lady eloped with a stage
driver, leaving Mr Harrison to moor* her
sudden and unexpected departure. Ttii9 in
cident so diagnsted Mr. Harrison with the
fickleness of human natu'-e and civilization
in gpneral that be turned bis back upon the
world, preferring a home in the trackless
wilderness and barren prairies to one in the
bu9y haunts of refined life. Some 14 years
ago he built him a log cabin and took np
his abode in the Neosho bottoms, some three
miles from town. His nearest neighbor at
that time wos wiles away. He lived all
alone, and subsisted on a scanty and un
wholesome diet of spoiled bacon. The cabin
was often and uncomfortable, while he was
content with a simple pallet of straw. He
drove a team poor, bony and dilapidated as
himself, half starved and clothed in rope and
string harness. He had an intelligent ex
pression ol countenance, but went about
scarcely clad in rags aud patrhes of >be
lOurtarr fabrics; yet, in the midst o! filth and
rags, he was recognized as a man übove
average sense and < ducat local culture, which
always brought him resfteciful deference
(nun all It is said that, aside from hi
property here, which consists of 320 acres of
good land and soaie personal property, he
owned valuable property iu Ohio.
Some years since his brothers carae to see
him and endeavored to get him to abandon
his isolated existence, but all in vain, for he
remained alone till tbe last. When it was
found that he wa« sick, the kind neighbors
flocked in and did all m their power to alle
viate his suffering, but nil of no avail. Alter
his death a nox containing silver and bank
notes, deeds, mortgages, etc , was found, and
is now in the hands of responsible parties.
Quite a number of siundird works ou medi
cioe aud law weri also found. Among hi*
effects was a letter purporting to be from Ins
niece, directed to him at lolu. aud dutet
1865. In it several family names are nl- u
i iontd, which uiay serve as a clew to tbe
whereabouts of his relatives that ure living

Glam Clothing. ltmayseepia trans
parent falsehood to state that people wear
glass clothing, but this sort of apparel may
yet cmne into use. Class would seem to be
about the last thing to think of as clothing,
bat it is nevertheless true that glass eloth is
made in Germany. If people who live in
glass bouses should not throw stones, it is to
be hoped that bail boys clothed in gluss may
give up their stone-throwing propensities,
not to meutioa snow-bulling, and, ii so, the
era of glass clothing will be hailed with
pleasure. The following particulars of the
process are translated for lire Detroit Frst

Vienna, has establish' d his glass business,

glass. He not only spins, but also weaves
g ass before the eyes of the people. The
otherwise brittle glass he changes mto pli
able threads and uses them lor niukinggood,
warm clothing. It sounds like a myth, but
Mr. Prengel introduces certain ingredient,
which are his Sictet, and thereby changes
the entire nature of the glass. He has just
finished a white, curly glass muff for a la-ty
of St. Petersburg ; he charges foity thalers
(#3O) for them Also ladies bats of glass
with glass feathers A remarkable feature
of this glass material is that it is lighter
than feathers. Wool mads of glass cannot
be distinguished from the genuine article.
Mr. Piengei's glass inventions are something
so extraordinary und u.-eful tor clothing, etc.,
as glass is a non-conductor, that it will
probably cause an entire revolution in diess

Ah Editor's Horsk Sol© for I)icbt.—
Up in North Carolina a few days ago an
editor’s horse was sold by the Sheiiff fo pay
a small debt. The unimal brought two dol
lars and a half, with the privilege ol having
a plank fence to le»D against. The poor
editor bad agreed to take corn in the (all of
the year for subscriptions, and as his sub
scribers were rnther slow about hauling in
the corn, the horse was fed upon old ex
changes and the contents of an old shuck
mattress, until the Sheriff came along with
an execution and levied on ft. The unfor
tunate editor has at lust realized the neces
sity of demanding ndvance payments for
subscriptions. A similar fate befell an edi

them alive during the summer, and loudly
dreamed that in the (all his corn subscribers

grew so thin that he could not keep them in

to prevent them from slipping through

A Rei.ioious Horse Race. — A church in
Wisconsin finding its finances in that de
plorable condition bordering on insolvency,
and seeing the vuuitv of such expectations
as arc built on the delusive hope of realizing
from collections, decided to adopt the ‘'boss
race,” not < xactly as a means of grace,
the most feasible plan for gathering lucre
wherewith to pay debts and defray inciden

the scheme was a pronounced success finaa

Mrs, Senator Brpcr ye-terday, says the
Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, put the social prob'em to the test.
It appears that among the ladies of the
Riggs House one of the fashionable hotels,
two of them called at Mrs Bruce’s residence
some time ago and left their cards. All the
ladies of the hotel teeeive on Monday to
gether in the public parlor. Yesterday,
when the reception was at its zenith, Mrs.
Senator Biuce. accompanied by a lady friend
as dutk as Erebus, were shown into the par
lor. Singling nut the twain who had kindly
left their cards with her, she engaged them
in conversation some few minutes, and then
left. The o her ladies thought the episode
decidedly shocking—not so much that Mrs.
Rruee had called, as the fact that she allowed
her dusky friend to accompany her. She
was too much “off” color to be squeezed
through tony society, although the Senator’s
bride is Deutly white.
The Prince or Wales’ Sonumric Faith.
—Of the Prince of Wains and Dr. Lyon
Playfair it is told that they were once stafrd

was boiling at white heat, "Has your Royal
Highness any faith in science ?” said the
doctor. ‘Certainly,” replied the Prince
‘•Will you place your hand in the boiling
metal and ladle out a portion of i' ?” -Do
you tell me to do thisT” asked the Prince.
‘‘l do,” replied the doctor. The Prince then
ladled out some of the boiling lend with his
hand without sustaining any injury. It is
a well known scientific fact that the human
hand may tie placed uninjured in lead boil
ing at white-heat, being protected from any
harm by the moisture ef the skin. Should
the lead be ut a preceptibly lower tempera
