It does seem as if human life has fearfully depreciatid of late years. From some cause tew valne is plaeed nnnn it now than for merlv. In fact, it tbieht be quoted with the bonds of tome of the bankrupt cities— Mobile or Memphis, for instance. In former times the taking of Unman life was a serious matter ; end crimes such as murder or sni cide were of rare occurrence. The one was comm'tted only when almost svery resource for satisfaction had failed or been defeated while the other was done when life had be come utterly aselrga. Trne, people are actu ated by 'he sume motive* in this day. bnt there is such a vast increase in crime—a« evidenced by the nnmberlrss eases recorded every day—that we are constrained to re gard It as the greatest of gi owing evils. Nearly every paper that comes to this office contains an account of a suicide or murder. One man gets drank, or.is disappointed in love, or is thwarted in some pet scheme, and immediately resorts to the pistol or rope, throwing awsy a life dear to otbefff if not to himself, bccanse he las not the courage to meet misfortune or disap pointment. A truly brave man will eot take his own life. If a man becomes embarrassed be should face his difficultiis as becomes a man; a bold heart and determined purpose can accomplish much, even under the most trying difficulties, and he must be pitiably weak who would commit self-destruction simply ta rid himself of his troubles. The very highest standard of human eouroge is that which incites and nerves and supports a man in the hour of trouble. Aided th»s, he aets to work to retrieve his lost fortunes, and with such spirit and energy that bis efforts are usually crowned with success. But if be is lucking in this high quality, he gives the best evidence oflbe fact by choosing the disgraceful alternative of destroying himself. As to murder, it is becoming a thing of every day occurrence. Men are shot down upon the least provocation, and about the only regret the slayer has is for the loss of his ghaige of powder and shot. Since the war the number of men slain in personal encounters is fearfully large, and every day it becomes larger. All this brings misery and suffering, and lessens regard for the law. It does more. It begets a feeling ol olarm, dread —of inse curity in the community. It engenders a feeling, also, of suspicion, because such crimes are not usually committed in the presence of witnesses. Aye, it upsets human calculation, and causes general demurs] za tion. Surely, these painful occurrences, which are clothing so many innocent women and children with mourning, is not indicative of a mental or moral declension among men ? It cannot be that our people are fess able to combat misfortune or sorrow than formerly, •r that the world is not as beautiful as in years gone by * Life is as sweet, and its aims and objects as exalted, as ever, and be who takes his own life, or that of another, fails to appreciate them. Let those wha may read these erode re flections, ponder the points herein treated. New Orleans. In view of the festive scenes transpiring in Naw Orleans, to which public attention is mors or lees attracted, we append the fol lowing description of the eity, from a cor respondent of the 'limes . If what is said be true the Mardi Gras is certainly ill-timed : “The sanitary condition of this city, how ever, is exceedingly bad and not calculated • o impress visitors very favorably toward us. In all my experience here of nearly a quar ter of a century the streets, gutters and gen eral drainings of the piuce has never been in such a bad and disgasting'y filthy condition. Everything that is calculated to cause mias roatic vapors, poisonous exhalations from cesspools, garbage, decaying mutters ami nastiness of the most dangerous character, is lying around loose in every quarter of the city. As lam one of those persons who huve, Irom experience, good reason to be lieve that the germs ol yellow fever and pestilene? of all kinds remain in the locali ties where they once appear, and can be aroused into activity hy impregnation from viru'ent importation, as well ns such a fillbv condition as now prevo Is, I am sure that we shall have another epidemic unless the city is put in a good sanitary condition at an early day. 'I be streets arv more disgustingly Gltby, pestiferous, malarial and poia nuns than at anv time in my recollection. As the Board of Health is comparatively powerless and thoroughly incompetent to the task ol taking c.>re of the public health, we need not expect anything will be done to prevent a recurrence of the terrible experience of last year.” Tovgb—The editor of the Calhoun Times sends forih the following toagh yum. As no affidavits as to the truthfulness of the statement are attached, we presume they were not considered necessary : ‘ Rabbits are quit* plenum) this year, if a certain young man of Calhoun is to be be lieved. He has lately been in the country, and rays lie counted several dozen that bad attempted to ernes the tend, got stuck in the mud, and were run over by vehicles and killed." The State Fair. —The State Agricultu ral Society, at its session in Hawkinsville, decided to hold the next State Fair iu the city of Macno. It was not settled where it should be permanently located. Augusta made energetic efforts lo have the Fair there, but Macon came off victorious. This settles the matter for the present Now let all the fritDtJs of the State unite rn making ‘hs ex. hibitlon a grand success. Atlanta, who generously surrendered her claims, will re spond with glowing ardor, and other cities and neighborhoods will be as clever. No matter bow divided we may be on other questions, on this we ebon Id all unite, and we believe all will. fli&li Priced Lit dies. Times may be hard and work may be scarce, money light and rates of accommo dation h'gh, bnt there are pe pie who seem to be able to bowl Hlong pietty gaily in the rush of old-t'me extravagance, and make the dollars flr profusely. It ir not only your bonanza people uf low birth and mushroom wealth who buy the laces nnd jewels, which crowned heads deemed unncceseaiily costly who fling money awav on articles that are merely high-priced, without regard to taste or fitness. Women of. tar less wealthy sur rounding! embark in the race of extravagant outlay, and acquire a reputation of "buying only the dearest.” An instance of this character was related to a New* reporter by a lady who had wit nessed a curious scene in a fashionable milli ner’s establishment. T his- lady had gone in with the intention of purchasing a bonnet Roving matte a choice of one costing 814. it was being pnt up for her, when a lady, tftf wife of a merchant, and aomewhnt noted for her pronounced costumes, entered on the same errant!. Ihe whole establishment was ransa> ketl to please her; bonne's and hats S2O to 850 were rt jected us “rather com mon," “cheap mater al," etc. Finally, the milliner txbibited a bonnet the exact coon terpart of that sold a few moments before for sl4. and demanded $75 lor it, as the most recherche piece of bead-gear in the es tablishment. On this representation it was put chased at once, paid for ami ordered sent home Y\ ben the purchaser had gone the lady first mentioned -said to the milliner : “Row could you have the conscience to clmrge 875 for just such u bonnet as you let me have for sl4 ?” "Madam,” replied the shrewd business woman, "that lady has to be charger! five prices, or sl.e will not buy, and there are a dozen like her whom 1 could name. Do you know that she has such an idea of extravi gance that when she want, for once in her life, to order some roust beef from a leading butcher in the market, and the butcher said he could give her a tieuuiilul cut for ten cents a pound, she snapper! back, 'You ought to know better than to think we can eat ten cent meat 1’ ‘Oh,’ replied the butcher, ‘wt can give you some at eighteen cents,’ and be has ever since supplied that luridly with meat at eighteen cents which other people get at ten.” Thi* is a lact. It may be pleasing to re mark, in this conmction, that the husband of the lady obtained a settlement With his crcdi'ors a couple ol years ago, on very easy terms—about ten cents on the dollar—ami is thus able to afford such little vaguries.— Louisville Evening News. The Atlanta Cotton Factory. Steam cotton factories have not proved valuable investments in the S> uth as Auguoa and Columbus have splendid and prosperous factoriea to compete with in the principal markets. Still, Mr. fl. I. Kimball felt sure that his wonderful powers of -‘development’’ could build and put in operation a large ami pros perous Hieum col'on f ctory in the ciiy of Atlanta I was present, sevcial years ago, when Hon. A. H. Stephens and other dis tinguished men aiade speeches, and Kimbull dug up the fif-t spade lull of dirt. I huve watched the movement from tbut hour to the presant moment with an impartial but crit cal eye One of the best built factory buildings has been erected, and the machinery put in, hat this is all. Silence and idleness have hung over and pervaded the place for the past two rears. Judge J. A. Hayden, now of Fort Reid. Florida, with other stock holders, refused to pay his subscription, and the case has just been finally decided in bis favor by the Supreme Court He resisted payment on the ground that Kimball, with out means, bad subscribed to $60,000 worth of stock, and that other subscriptions were equally as bogus or worthless. Other troubles have arisen, from time to time, but Kimball bas managed to hold on and draw his salary. Cupt. J. W. English, at the stockholders’ meeting two years ago, denounced Kiinbill openly to his face as a thiel. and charged that he would finally s'eal the whole factory. I tl eo favored Kimball’s election, but now see that Capt. English was on the right track. Kimball was reiu loreed by Bullock, and together they at ttmptcd to gobble op the entire machinery, but the Lowell machine shop secured the able services of Judges McCuy und Trippe and blocked in the courts “their little game.’’ These bonds weie issued and Bullock (R B) went North to sell them Well, to make a long matter short, the boods buveu t sold, and the Lowell machine shop has taken possession of its property and offered it for sale. Kimball imimdiately hies away North lo meet Bullock, and iLe public inmd is agitated to kuow what is to be the next move of the great developer.

A Navel Decision. A Georgia police jnat ice has just decided a cs c r whose hearing* have more than a local significance. Seven barbers were brought before him charged with violating the law which ordains that no “tradesman, artificer, workman, laborer or other persons wba'evrr," shall pursue an ordinary business on Sundavs except In es«es of neee«sity. or charitv, nnd as the accused men plead guilty to the charge, (be question for d'-cision was whether when a barber shaves anybody his net i’ an net either of necessity or of charitv. The police justice held that it is an act of necessity, and disc' arged the prisoner* Many things, he explained, are neces-ities now which one* wprp easily dispensed with ; the consumption of ice, for example, the rldine in strr t-cars and in <a r ri g“s "Is it the spirit of the law." he asked. ‘ to pun ish a man for that whiah has from habit become the necessity of h city?" The word "necessity,” tie argn<*d might embrace “such things as we now recognize by habit or usNge to be essential to the well-being of society.” Moreover a barber’s shop, whete men attend to the requirements of cleanli ness. may he as necessary in some instances as a drug-shop "For tnvseli,” he said in conclusion, ‘ I cannot feef that the use of a barber's shop for purposes of cleanliness is in spirit a vinlatmu of the Lord’s day." If the police justice had chosen the alter native mentioned in the statute, and hud held that shaving is a work of charity and therefore allowable on Sunday, he might have made even a stronger decision. No gentleman, it is safe to sav, would attend church on Sunday unless he had shaved on the morning of that day ; bat many a gen tleman is simply una’de to shave himself without the shedding of blood, the ebullition of leirqier, and the provocation to hasty and objectionable terms of reprouch upon him self. hi* strap or his razor On the othur hand, when in the barber ’a chair, the spirits arc soothed, and (lie soul is attuned to n flec tion and meditation. Is it, or is it not a work of charity to fit a man in this wise for the pr vih'ges and dutire of the sanctuary ?

Old Ned was present and saw his beloved tools put up by the auc tioneer arid bid off try Judge R M. Wither spoon, and he no doubt felt that he was a ruined muD, his rmly means of support for himself and family being taken from him; and despair (serried to settleVw the otd main’s face. Imagine his feelings then, when .Judge Witherspoou said to him: “Well, Ned, you are a good and faithful workman, and you have stood by your white friends ever since you were a bee man ; therefore, I pre sent you with this entire set ol tools in b - halt of yuur Democratic friends" To old Ned it was a Iran it from darkness to light, from de‘ pest dcji-clion to perfect joy A smile over his tbony countenance which was delightful to behold ; and he went home that night, without doubt, the happiest man in Madison county.

An A ccvoukO Sfate and Hitt. —Boston is a Democratic eity and Georgia is a Dem ocratic State. and the acenrsed corruption and extravagance of Democratic rule have so wrought upon tlieereuit of there unhappy communities that they are the only two bodies politic in the country, exclusively of the United States, which can float 4 per cent, loans at par. Tne rascally public offi cials of Georgia, to conceal their nefarious schemes and the exbuustid condition of the trea-ury, have even adopted the miserable subterfuge of paying their obligations before they fall due. Such are the results of over throwing the government of the carpet bagger, by the carpet-bagger and for the carpet-bagger, and substituting in its place a system which has no nobler aim than making both ends meet.— N.
