“A. W. F.," whore letters are nlways

Congress of a Michigan member : “It was

tho bark of a hyena, all in ose.” Prctly
tough, t at no doubt true.
A Pen Picture.
Below we give e portraiture of a few
members of the present House:
“’lherext youngest man is Mr. Emory
a Democratic Greenbacker from
Georgia. He is deseiibrd us one of the most
brilliant speakers of the South, and worthy
to represent the famous mountain district,
which has sent to Congress such men as
Howell ('ebb. Jnnius Hillyer and Brn Hill.
The dandy of the House is Harry Birglmm,
of Phi'adrlphia. His trousers are spotless
and his cravats are monuments of skill He
has seen a deal of public life, has been
Postmaster of Philadelphia, and has ns great
weakness for the votes of the post-i ffice boys
h s predecessor, the mercurial Chapman
Freeman. 'I be most conceited nu mber of
the House mnst be the Hon M. P O'Con
nor, of South Carolina, for he osseris posi
tively that he has never made an error in
his political judgment yet. He has the tep
n'aiion of being a sound lawyer and a bril
liant orator. The most famous of the new
numhers is undoubtedly Gen, Jie Johnston,
of Virginia; and the most notorious—well,
N'ew Jersey and Indiana can draw lor it,
but New Jersey will win.”
Hcmk-madf. Tfa —Through the kindness
of L’»pt \Vm. Ilughis, Sr, we have re
c*iv(d a fine sample of tea raised and pre
pared under his immediate direction. In
streigth it is superior, and in flavor eqnul to

—llmesvdle Gazette.
V e cannot see why tea. as well as many
other articles that are now imported, should
not be produced here. It might be a bewilder
mg matter to imitate the hieroglyphics on
the boxes, because the ‘Meiican man’’ cannot
iqual the “htathen Chinee” in that particu
lar ; but in soil ours is deeastd to be equal
to tba! ou which the best tea is made.

Making Governors. K
There is scarcely a paper received at this
office that does not contain the name of some
gentleman who-e “many fr'ends” are anxious
to see him Govercor of Georgia, and it is
amusing to read the highly eulogistic terms
in which many of their claims flrp set forth.
More than a score af names havo been pre
sented thus far, and each or.e backed by a
tolerably respectable following. Among i
these are a number of Georgia’s “brght j
particular stars''—gome who would adorn
any s'ation. Their record form® a part of i
Georgia's history, and glows and bines with
lust rods splendor. Then, there are some
comparatively new to fame, but who give
promise of future greatness. Their constit
uency consists of immediate friends or
neighbors, who, anxious t© bring their sec
tion into prominence, ru®h headlong into
print with words of encomium, and fondly
imagine that their effusion will be eagerly
read by an ndmirii g prtblic, and thousands
of votes scored for their favorite. Then,
again, sortre sodden upheaval of public opin
ion or sentiment will bring to the surface
some entirely new man. It has been stated
somewhere that when the question wasnsked
—“Who is Millard Fillmore ?” the very mun
who nominated him for Vice-President of
the United Slate* was utterly unable to
answer It. And yet by the death of General
Taylor this obscure man lecotne President.
So far we hove been silent os to any
preference in this regard. When the proper
time comes, as come it will. The Weekly
will name its man ; but we fail to see how
any good can result Irom a fruitless and idle
discussion of the various qualifications of the
prospective candidates, at Mm lime. The
time to setert a Governor is a lor g dis
tance off. Event* muv tianspire that will
change the entire aspect o( the political sky
The very men who are now deemed most
prominent before the public for official place
may come In grief; therefore, let ns “possess
our sonls with patience.” The right mun
will come to the front in due mason—it may
be in the person of some battle scarred vet
eran, or it mny be in that of seme heroic
young chieftain who is anx'ous to break his
maiden lance. Georgia’s honor is safe at
any rate. 'I litre need be no fears of that,
lienee, we say to our associates and renders,
let ns wait until the proper lime comes, and
when nnr authorized leader unfurls his ban
ner all will rally to it, and be ready to curry
it to victory.
The Right Sort.—A yonng lady recently
said to the editor of the Meriwether Vindi
cator: •My sweetheart is a (aimer, and hns
great corns in the palms of his hands ; but
though his hands are hard, rough and tanned
he ha® a kind and noble heart." And we
venture to sav he is a true man, and will
m , j "ft, •lupMitiitj— »v »n»,
in turn, will tie to him all a husband could
desiio. When two such persons begin the
joorney o f life together the fragrance and
bounty of the flowers along the pathway far
exceeds in number the thorns ami thistlis.
In Favor or a Longer Tbrm. —We
notice a movement on foot among Northern
ministers of the Methodist Church looking
to the abolition of the rule restricting pas
tors to n term of two years This is a step
in the direction which that church has been
looking for some time In the South it was
formerly two ; the limit is now four years.
The question is on important one, and much
could he said for and against it ; but we. as
an outsider, are content with bare mention
of it.
The Storms. —The effects of the late
storms were very di-astrons, aid were felt
in many sections outside of Georgia. In
Texas much coffering was caused, and the
damage to property very great.
Quern Victoria’s Abdication.
Rnmors ol a vague but somewhat alarm
ing character have been current for some
davs with regard to the health of the Queen.
I have not hitherto alluded to these reports,
bnt they have become so persistent that it
wonld be n'eless longer to ignore thrir ex
istenee It is said that lor some time past
Her Majesty’s health has not been in a very
satisfactory state. The death of the Duchess
of (Dsse gave her a shock from which she
has not recovered, and the fatigue incident
on the celebration of the marriage of thp
Duke of exercised a depressing
influence on her health The journey to
Italy is not a mere holiday trip. Sir W
Jenner considered that a change of scene and
an almost entire absence frem official doty
of any kind were necessary for the Queen,
and this is the reason why she has buried
herself on the secluded shores of an Italian
lake It is no doubt in consequence of the
somewhat gloomy statements regarding her
Msj, sty’s health which are pissing in society
that other teports connected with the suc
cession to the throne are also current. Lis
said that, unless a considerable change in hot
Majesty’s health takes place, “lie will no
longer be able to discharge the functions
which belong to the sovereign of the country,
and rumor points to the possibility *f an
abdication, it is an undoubted fact tha'
since the departure ol the Queen (or lialy
the I’i ime M mister has several times seen
the Trince ol Wales. On Tuesday he had
ar. interview with his Royal Highness ol
more than an hour’s duration, and the Prince
would s<em to be since to some extent dis
charging the duties of the Q teen with regard
to public affairs during her absei.ee in Italy
Iu a matter where there is necessarily u
great deal of speculation it would be idle to
m ke definite statements, but there are those
who think that a somewhat startling sur
prise is in stote for Parliament before the
present session closes.- London Letter in

Colonel Sellers Arrested.
Auburn. N. Y., April 22 —Without pre
vious rehearsal, John T Raymond, who ha®
achieved fame a® Colonel Sellers, appeared
in a character of an entirely different nature
in Auburn to-day. Last night he player!
here as Weigel in “My Son." at the Acarl
rmv of Mn®ic. Mr. Ravmond and hi® com--
panv put up at the Gaylord Hou«e. artd
while settling the hill at eight o’ch-ck this
morning Red ley Brown, a mrmber of the
troupe, and 'he proprietor of the hotel. An
drew M. McCoy, b' catne engaged in a dis
pute. Brown waxed wroth, and his anger
overcame hi« discretion, anil he gave vent to
his feelings bv a slinging blew in the land
lord’s lace. Mr-Coy remonstrated ard ad
vanced as if to strike Brown, when Mr
Raymond step ed in and made a pap* at
McCoy. But it sepms he was n- tas skilled
in pugilism as the owner of the hotel Mc-
Coy let out his right arm anil his compressed
hand citue in forcible contact with Ray
mond’s left optic. This net incensed Riy
mom! to such an extent that he abandoned
nature’s weapons, and, seizing two spi'toon .
hurled thrm in rapid succe-sioß at. McC -v’s
head; but McCoy caught them without in
jury.
Raymond alter this manoeuvre rail to his
apart merits on the second floor and gazed
into the mirror The sight of a swol'r n und
discolored eye incited him to peek vengeance
and he picked up a small bamboo cane that
he was in the hnbil of carrying anil rn-hed
down stairs. He dclt McCoy a blew on the
right temple, which, owing to the force,
severed a small vein The blood flowed pro
fusely. hot tire wound proved to be onh
sl'ght. Raymond's next move was lo spring
into a Buck and instruct the driver to pro
ceed to the Central and Hudson Railroad
depot. Before the train arrived McCoy had
procured two police officers and had Ray
mond placed under arrest. Raymond was
tnk>n to the station house, whither he wa-r
followed by his whole troupe. A lawyer was
cal let I by Raymond, noil through his influ
once a settlement was tll ctrd.
Pcrsone* if the Khedive
Ismal Khedive is a man of about forty
eight years of age, under the middle height,
but heavily aid squarely built, with broad
shoulders, which, dining the last year, seem
to have become bowed down by the heavy
bin dens imposed upon him, under which be
has so manfully struggled. His face is
round, covered by u dark brown beard,
closely clipped, and short nius'nuke of the
same color, shading a firm, but sensual
iffouth. Ilis complexion is dark ; his features
regular, heavy rather than mobile in expres
sion. Ilis eyes, which he keeps habnadly
half closed, in Turkish fashion, sometimes
closing one entirely, are dark and usually
dull, but very penetrating and dirk at tiinrt>,
when he shoots a sudden sharp glance like a
flash ut his iuterlocU'or. Hi* iaee is usually
as expressionless as that of the Sphinx or
the late Napoleon 111, of whom in my in
tercourse with the Khedive, I have been Ire
queutly reminded, for they are men much of
the same stamp in character and intellect,
with the same strong and the same weak
characteristics doing constant battle with
each other.
The Khedive’s voice is very characteristic
—low, somewhat thick, yet emphatic, wet!
modulated, friv.i g meaning \Q ' n * - j
, ° accompanied
by a smile of much attractiveness when h**
wi-hes to please and his mind is at rest.
But under the mask of apparent apathy or
serenity, the close observer will remark th*'
the lines ucross llie broad brow and about
the strong mouth lndieute streng passions
as strongly suppressed, and the enre9 ol
empire intruding on lighter thoughts, und
judge the Khedive to he far Itnm u happy
man The Khedives Egypt — DeLeon.
The Taliuage Trial.
The interest in the Tulinage trial increases
faster than interest on a bank note, in fact
it is expected the interest will be compounded
at lust, or tliut the trial will. Our Ni w
York reporter is bu«y taking dow n notes ol
the testimony, and his fiist prescu'.s the fol
lowing appearance :
Mr. Millard to Mr. Rriglit, showing wit
ness a paper—" Who wrote that editorial?’
* What editorial ?”
“That one my finger is on.”
‘‘Which finger?"
“This finger.”
"This finger on this editorial ?”
“Yes.”
“W hat about it ?”
‘•Who wrote it ?”
“The finger ?”
“No. die editorial." *
“What editorial ?”
“This editorial in this paper, which I hold
up before you. which is headed Columbine
and Harlequin,’ on which I now place ihis
thumb.”
“You want to know who wrote it ?”
“Yes ”
“Why ?’»
“It’s of interest to this case.”
“What case?”
“Talmages ease.”
"What Talniugp ?’’
‘‘Do you know who wrote that editosial ?”
excitedly.
" W hut editorial ?”
“The one I just showed you.’’
“The one iu that paper f”
“Y'es.”
“The one you put your fingers on Gist,
and then put your thumb on it ? ’
“Yes.”
"You want to know who wrote it ?”
“Y'es ”
Witness reluctantly replied, “I don’t
know." —Oil City Derrick.
The following incident, related by the
Americas R<publican, recalls to mind Sut
Lovingood’s lumou* story of "How Dad
Acted Horse “A gentleman of the new
I wenty-sixtb district, of this county, informs
us that on last Saturday as be was riding
through the couctiy, he witnessed the most
novel sight ol Ins hie. It was nothing more
nor lees than a while lady plowing, her hus
band acting as the horse, mule or steer, as
the case may be He was regularly har
ne.-sed and dragging the plow as compla
cently us an ox. The gentleman spa ke to
the wonmu about her team, and she replitd
tliut ‘this was the ocly way she could get
any work out of Elam, and she would make
him d»i what she could.’ I lie plowed ground
was well bioken up, and showed that the
woman wuscxpeit iu the use of the plow,
and that tuau wan be a horse when he will."

A Mechanical Baptism by Ex

Mr Edilor :—A correspondent, over the

ment in favor ol making Christians by the
dipping mode. He exhibits to the putdic
what piolcssionul dippers have acquired, and
the facilities now in vogue to make a motley
Crowd of sinners a cuigrtgation of saints.
His exposition ol mechanical skill iu this t
foi initiated style ol evangel Z'ng the heathen
cannot be said lo be much argument lor the ;
sacred and solemn service of revealtd reli- j
gion. But it shows aba! experience and
uiechanical iffprt can (erleim, when goaded
by an ambitiou to txed iu a pat titular liuc.
We have blooded oises nratcl ed upon

“to dip’ - (t-upiiz ) a given number in a
limited time, and this, mo, in proof that
stupid pnjndiee* rnu»t b-- maintained con
trary to revealed trn'h. .
The old artfg' th d “drowning men catch
at straws,” is clearly ver fn d in Bro. Adams’
article. IY they have no other proof that a
thing can be done, will this proof lie satis
factory that it was accomplished in that
way? In the sacred story, the Pentecos al
