have just had a pleasant excursion on the

less favored operatives are deprived of, but

those who participatein them. They should
be kept up.
Coming Back.—The papers inform us
that many colored persons who were deluded
into going West, are returning home. This
might have been seen beforehand. But the
negro so thoroughly trusts the carpet-bagger
that he is ready to drop "de shovel and de
hoe,” and rnn off anywheie be is told to go.
Bome see their folly, and endeavor to atone
for it by working with renewed energy when
they get back ; others toil on, starve on,
steal on, until they get to the usual level of
idle negroes. This emigration business is a
humbug.
Aaboh Alfbrio Bradlkt.—This sore
headed colored man appears to be on the
war-path again. He is never content unless
nnder excitement. He made a speech a few
days since in Savannah, the burden of which
was—“ The brave Zulus of South Africa.” It
need not be said that the speech was char
acteristic of the man. Of course tbe “ex-
Senator” has his followers, some of whom
were present and applauded him roundly.
But Aaron’s race is about run.
A Pkmcati Ckkatcbx—The following
description of a Dublin belle is thus given
by tbe Gazelle :
A girl, perceived through love’s eyes, is a
tender, beautiful, delicate beiDg, but to see
one of this kind stand op to a pic-nic table
Bridget on the outside of one whole jelly
cake, two big oonns. wit hoot any salt, and a
whole bottle of pickles, mskes a young man

The Month of May.
The tiue lover of Nature, as he gazes out
upon the beauteous scenes around him now
must feel his sonl expand with thunkfu'ness
to the All-wise Creator, by whom and to
whose glory all this loveliness was created.
May is indeed a beautiful month. The trees
hove donned their vestments of green ; the
flowers are filling ihe air with their fra
grance ; the birds are singing their happiest
lays—and, conscious of her many charms,
Dame Nature is in her most smiling mood.
This is a time, too, for that csrnival of
the little folk. The May-day celebiation
is, to 'hem, an event more important than
any olher day in the whole year—Christmas
alone excepted They look forward to it
with deeper interest than to any other, and
all other considerations become subordinate
to this. It is t’uir day. It is a dny in
which they can say to the older folk— ‘ Stand
aside I lam greater than thou !” And we
arc glad it is so. Nature rejoices in her
grandeur and hrr loveliness—children, in
their freedom from care. The Spring-time
of life, like the Spring-time of the year, is a
period full of peace and pleasure ; therefore,
let the little lads and lasses be happy while
they may, for the season is a short one, and
will soon be gone, to return no more forever.
The papers tell us that in many places the
Muy-day festivals were characterzed by
more than usual interest. Not only did the
young people enter into the pleasures con
nected therewith, but people of older growth,
and with a zs.ilous activity that bespoke
their enjoyment too plainly to be misunder
stood. Nor was it alone in the busy centres
of trade that these festivals took place. Out
on the bills, beneath the softening shadows
of the trees; down in the vales, amid the
wild flowers ; near some mnrmuring stream,
or close to the turgid river—many were the
chosen trysting grounds, where for one day,
at least, books and school and business and
care were entirely forgotten.
It is well. Those who participate so joy
ously in these festivals now, and are us yet
too young to understand why mother looks
grave and father is low-9pirited, will in the
lapse of time come to stand in the places of
the old people of to-day. Others will take
their places, und enjoy themselves ns finely—
and memories of the past will sleep again.
Then let us enjoy the season while it lasls,
for the frosts of winter will soon be here,
and the beauties that now delight ns will be
enveloped in a pall of bleukness and gloom
Too Zealous.—The advocates of the tem
perance cause in the city of Savannah, in
their zeal to further it, have issued a petition
to the “Senators and Representatives of the
State of Georgia,” in which they incorporate
an amendment tn the Constitution prohibit
ing the sale of intoxicating drinks within
tbe State. While “strong drink is raging,
and those who are deceived thereby are not
wise,” yet we do uot think the coercive
power of the popular will should ever be
brought to bear upon a matter of this na
ture. Coercion is wroug. Moral suasion
is the power to be used. Our Savannah
friends will discover that |>eaceable measures
are fur more effective than harsh means.
Tbe temperance cause can only prosper when
moved by legitimate ends.
That Tramp.—The Oglethorpe Echo has
this item concerning an old man who is la
boring under a delusion :
There is an old mnn, a tramp, in this
neighborhood who claims that B. 11. Hill.
James M. Hill and David E. Butler are
seeking to take his life. He says they fol
lowed him through Florida and all the
W'estern Slates ns a hound would follow n
deer. He had several letters in his pocket
desetibing how these men treated him. In
vain did we try to persnnde him that he wit l
mistaken, and that Senntor Hill and his
brother James nor Mr. Bufler had no de
signs on bis life. He is doubtless non compos
mentis.
Fred Douqi.asr Aoainbt the Exodus.—
A letter opposing thfc negro exodus from the
South has been written by Fred Douglass,
who says : ‘I nm opposed to this exodus,
because it is an untimely concession to the
idea that colored peop’e and white people
cannot live together in peace and prosperity
unless the whites are a majority and control
the legislation and hold the offices of the
State. I am opposed to this exodus, because
it will pour upon the people of Kansas and
other Northern States a multitude of delu
ded, hungry, homeless, naked and destitute
people, to be supported in a large measure
by alms. lam opposed to this exodus, be
cause it will enable our political adversaries
to make successful appeals to popular preju
dice (as in the case of the Chinese,) on the
ground these people, so ignorant and help
less, have been imported for the purpose of
making the North solid by outvoting intel
ligent white Northern citizens. I am op
posed to this exodus, because ‘rolling stones
gather do moss and I agree with Emerson
that the man who made Rome or any other
locality worth going to see stayed there.
There is, in my judgment, no part of the
United States where an iudustrious and in
telligent colored man can serve his race
more wisely and efficiently than upon the
soil where he was born and reared, and is
known. I am opposed to this exodus, be
cause I see in it a tendency to convert col
ored laboring men into traveling tramps,
first going North because they are persecu
ted, and then returning South because they
have bten deceived and disappointed in their
expectations, which will excite against them
selves and against our whole race an in
creased measure of popular contempt and
scorn. I am opposed to this exodu*. because
I believe that tbe conditions of existence in
tbe Southern States are steadily improving,
and that tbe colored men there will ulti
mately realize tbe fullest measure of lilierty
and equality accorded and secured iu any
section of our common country.”

The Legend of “El Dorado.”
When the Spaniards first discovered
Guyana and established communications
with the Datives, the latter very soon beeame
aware of the ardent affection which their
visitors entertained for gold. They related
to tbe uew corner* the history of a great
chief who in the interior, on tbe banks of a
vast lake called Pariine, who possessed pal
aces with walls of the precious metal, and
who every day powdered himself from head
to font with gold dust, Thp imagination of
the adventurers was at once fired, and they
determined to visit the Croesus whom, in
their Inngnage. they called “El Dorado,” the
gilded man The tale was not wholly base
less, rr some such mysterious personage did
exist, and daily performed a toilet somewhat
resembling that described in the native ac
count. But, instead of osing real gold dust
for his decoration, he employed a substance,
well known to miners, called golden sand,
which is, in fact, only an ore of iron in min
nte particles, utterly valueless, but which
glitters like gold. Many attempts were
fruitlessly made to penetrate to El Dorado,
and, among others. Sir Walter Raleigh At
last some adventurers reached one of the
palaces situated on the Courouapi.an affluent
of the Yary, but which turned out to be
nothing more than a natural grotto, the
walls of which were formed of micaceous
rocks. Mica is one of the constituents of
granite, and has yellowish metallic glitter,
which, under a strong light, makes it resem
ble gold. As for the famous lake Parimp,
some foundation also existed for the legend,
as the region inhabited by the Indian chief
i« situated on the alluvial lands at the foot
of a mountain raDge called Tumuc-Humac,
and every year, during the rainy season, the
ground is covered by an inundation to an
immense extent, and the natives are able to
navigate the vast- forests in their canoes.
Yellow Hair.
The yellew hair which a number of ac
tresses and many women off tbe stage gJJect,
seems to be growing more and more com
mon. It is not pleasant to see, however,
because it is. in almost every instance, arti
ficial, tbe result of dyeing, and artificiality is
never agreeable for any length of time.
Actresses have professional reasons—perhaps
mistaken ones—for dyeing their hair; but
other women lmve no excuse for it. They
imagine, of course, that it adds to their
beauty, or modifies their homeliness, which it
certainly does not. The effect, indeed, is
quite the contrary. Nature is very likely to
understand the true principles of art. Al
though she may not make all women hand
some. she generally furnishes them with
complexion—eyes and hair to match. And
when they bleach their hair they blunder
aesthetically, wronging nature and themselves
at the same time. The peculiar hue of the
hair which is now the fashion with a certain
class is almost always unbecoming, because
it is unnatural. It advertises and empha
sizes its artificiality, and conveys an un
favorable impression of the person who
adopts it No woman in civilization colors
her hair blue, her nose red, her cheeks green
or her teeth black. Rut if she did she would
be acting very much like the woman who
dyes her hair yellow—a dead, fictitious, re
pellent hup. Yellow bair is apt to give bd
unprepossessing notion of the wearer. The
man or woman of taste and good sense who
Sees it associates it with painted eyebrowp,
painted cheeks and other false things, spirit
ual not less than material. If these hair
dyers knew what men of the world mean by
saying, “She is the sort of woman who
bleaches her hair,” they would think twice
before they did it
Thb Tai.mag* Trial. —The trial of Rev.
T. Dewitt Tulmnge for conduct indecorous
in a olergymen—an ecclesiastical high com
edy which by universal admission has been
as laughter-provoking as Pinafore—h»9
end>d in an acquittal, or rather in tbe Scotch
verdict of “not proven.” Tbe New York
Nation writes the epilogue to tire comedy in
the following words : “ The curious leatnre
of this is that the conrt, composed in tbe
main of professional moralists, is divided on
facts which are not disputed The question
finally submitted to them was not, in other
words, as we understand it, whether certain
acts had been committed by the defendin’,
but whether they were blameworthy. Ten
members cf the Presbytery, at least, hold
that they amounted to untrnthfulDPSS and
deceit, and the others that they were entirely
harmless One of the charges, let us add.
wus ol having, for the purpose of raising
money for the church resorted to the device
of asking a man publicly to set down his
name for n sum which, by private under
standing with Talmage, he was not to pay,
in order to influence others. This is realiy
a modification of the mock nnctioneer’s plan
of operations ; but the majority of a church
court have de lared that they see no wrong
in it, or, at all events, no punishable wrong."
The court, however, probably aequi’ted
Talmage principally upon the ground that
he suits his congregation. What they seek
in him is "sensation," and he gives it to
them, lull measure. In fact, this trial is
exactly in bis line, and jumped exactly with
bis vein —Savannah News.
Colonel Inokrsoll, the accomplished
lecturer, who boasts that he can clear five
hundred dollars any pleasant evening by
denouncing the Christian religion, is going
to New York city to aid in raising funds to
help the colored people of the South to tbe
happy land of Kansas. Colonel Ingersoll
claims to he a resilient of the city of Wash
ington. In his adopted city there are to
day 40,000 negroes, the majority of them
indigent, semi diseased and more or less a
charge upon the community. Twenty thou
sand of them, perhaps, find employment in
menial positions, as cooks, chambermaids,
stablemen, boot-blacks and scullions. The
remainder of them staive and steal, suffer
and die. The negro iu the District of
Columbia is uot a political factor, but he is
as much entitled to sympathy as though he
voted in a cotton-producing State. If Mr.
Ingersoll desires to perform a humane act
let him deliver a-coorse of lectures, and with
the money obtained in blaspheming and
ridiculing God, proceed to send tbe surplus
and unnecessary negroes of Washington to
tbe fertile fields of Kansas. The citizens of
Washington will certainly do all they can to
aid him in snch a philanthropic cause.—
Baltimore Gazette.
Mr. Spker Writs? a Lkttbr. —lmitating
Mr. Stephens’ example, lion. Emory Speer
has written a letter for publication iu the
Gainesville Southron, the object of which
seems to be to impress bis constituents with
the important part taken by himself, Mr.
Stephens and Dr. Felton in the deliberations
of tbe Democratic caucus. In his letter he
says :
“Of tbe Georgia Representatives, Mr.
Stephens and Dr. Felton are with me in
everything I have said. Mr. Stephens and
1 made tbe fight yesterday, and for tbe time
the designs ol gentlemen who seemed deter
mined to hurry the couutry into revolution
have been arrested."
It has not been the custom of members of
Congress t« go to the pains of writing letters
for the newspapers to disclose csucus delib
erations or to disparage tbe judgment or im
pugn the motives of those in caucus who
may have differed with them in opinion. It
may be that the country i» greatly indebted
to tbe wise councils and'superior statesman
ship of Mr. Stephens and Mr Speer, o? the
Georgia delegation, but it is hardly becom
ing in Mr. Speer to charge that those gen
tlemen in the Democratic caucus with whom
himsslf and hl9 colleague l disagreed as to the
policy to be pursued in reference, to the bill
'0 prevent military interference with elec
tions, were “determined to hurry the country
into revolution ” The conrse of tbe Demo
cratic party has justified no such assertion,
and it wonld not have detracted at all from
Mr. Speer’s claims to tbe consideration and
confidence of his Democratic constituency if
he had allowed tbe Radicals to make tbe
charge. —SavannaH News
Rsmtniscrnc* of thb War.—Mr. San
ford, of Alabama, fo illustrate a point in a
recent speech in the House of Representa
tives, said he had heard of an incident which
occurred on a battlefield in North Carolina.
Two brothers, one wearing the blue, and the
other the gray, had by a strange coincidence
shed their life-blood on the same battlefield.
A tender father’s hand gathered their re
mains together and buried them in the same
grave, over which he raised a shaft bearing
on the northern face tbe name of him who
had worn the blue and on its southern face
the name of him who had worn tbe gray.
On the western face was the inscription—
“ Erected by the loving hand of a father ever
two boys, equally loved”—and, on the east
ern face, tbe inscription—" Who was right
and who was wrong shall be decided before
that great tribunal to which both have gone.
I, their father, will not decide who was right
and who was wrong.

the new leaf you have pledged'' yourself to

change the monied vhlups of all articles of
merchandise. It is bound to bring every,
thing down to what is called SOLID ROCK

my efforts to please tbe public in every way.
Because resumption placed gold at par.
you must not get it into your head that I am
