Good. QurTMAN has three newspapers. It has bren finally ret tied that the prach crop will be a good one. It is gratifying that this conclusion has been rear bed. “A. W. F.," whore letters are nlways sprinkled w ith jusl enough spicy matter to make them inttrrsting, says of the speech in Congress of a Michigan member : “It was the hiss of a snake, the growl of a eur, and 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 snv of tie choicest brands of imported tea. —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. That Exodis.—The colored exodus seems to sufler no abatement. 1 bousunds of negroes ate taking Horace Greely ’s advice, ami going V est. Mietings are biing held in Northern cities in o : d of the scheme, and tlie thing is' being pushed with rigor. Well and good. (Jur people appear to be iodifiereot on the subject; bnt we really pity those among when) the etnigiants may le-cate. J 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 Dvadc: Advertiser. 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."

Agricola April 26 th, 1879. A Mechanical Baptism by Ex perts. Mr Edilor :—A correspondent, over the signuturen J L. Adams makes a new argu 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 the race course; game cocks a>e gathrred to the “main" and pitted one against the other, and the dignity of civiliz'd States hang upon the re®nlt. Base-ball matches are for the championship and the belt of honor in their several localities.

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?
