Ox the 6th inet. two thousand children belonging to the colored Sunday-schools of Macon, marched in procession to the city park and had a pic-nic. Thrrb was a terrible storm of hail re cently iu the neighborhood or Cnthbert. Crops were damaged to some extent, but eo far as heard from no lives were lost. Tub employees of the Columbus factories have just had a pleasant excursion on the Girard Railroad. This is a recreation which less favored operatives are deprived of, but which conduces to the health and pleasure of 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 determine to work oue more year before be j Barries. I 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.” Rrooka Station Locals, BY N.

Mr. Rawls, of Griffin, was arrested for carrying concealed weapons, and in default ol boil wag incarcerated in the new jail. W. H. Prichard and K. R.

He made quite a saucy speech in answer to the question, why he should not receive his sentence. Tub Grand Jnry recommended that the tims for holding the Superior Court for Faiette couuty be changed from the first Mondays in May and November to the 4th Mondays in March und September.

Mr. Editor :—We have been blessed with fine showers the past lew days, but it has been rather cool for cotton to do well. Our farmers are about up with their work. Mr. J. T.

May 10/A, 18T9. 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. New Advertisements. THE ECLIPSE ENGINE? IAM agent for the Eclipse Engine.and the genuine Geiser Separator, the b-si in the country.
