Female Education.
‘‘A New York clergyman, who recently
went to Germany to (ducate his daughter,
Writes back an unfavorable opinion of edu
cation and society in that country. Bomeof
his statements are terse and positive : •Con
tinental female education couldn't enter
freshman class at Yassar. Have visited
Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Leipe'g, Weimer,
etc. Found smalt encouragement thus far.
An English finishing school at Diesden had
the most to ofier. 1 notice that American
residents oLlong-standing are not conspicu
ous for enthusiasm respecting Germans or
their institutions. Class distinctions are
sharp. Universal flunkeyisrn prevails. Mili
tary pride sticks out at every comer. Con
ceit of learning and assumption of superior
culture are flaunted an alt occasions. The
washtnb is fearfully neglected.’ ” —Wesleyan
Christian Advocate.
Precisely. Thost who go abroad to ob
tain something that may be had at their own
doors often find to their cost that they have
made a mistake. Yet parents, somehow,
will go abroad to educate their daughters
and sons. And it may happen oftentimes,
and does happen, that a trustee of some col
lege here at home is culpable in this par
ticular. By urging the claims of our home
institutions, as they should be, parents could
be made to realize the many advantages
offered them in their own neighborhood, the
existence of which they might not otherwise
be aware. Why go out of Georgia to seek
an education? Indeed, why go abroad at
all? The Stale is dotted all over with
schools and colleges of high grade—many of
them first-class institutions in every essen
tial feature. Foremost in the grand mission
of female education is the noble old Wesleyan
College of Macon, which for over forty
years has almost uninterruptedly continued
in its career. Its alumnae are in every
Southern State, and rank among the most
accomplished and intelligent ladies in all the
land. There, too. ia Mercer and Pio Nono,
both male colleges, and ranking high in the
mailer of learning. And then, there are
other iustilutions—Emory—lbs State Uni
versity— the Cuthbert, LaGrange, Griffin and
Covington female colleges—all of which are
the equals of those sought for across the At
lantic. Besides, it is a great error to waste
time and money in sending children—sons or
daughters— way from home. It is not only
expensive, but foolish. So far as observa
tion is to be relied upon, it may be safely
asserted that the curriculum of our schools
are ample anough for all practical or needful
purposes ; and this Northern man found this
out when be went over and saw how it was
himself. lie, like scores of others, was dis
appointed, and we are glad of it. The coun
try ia full of good schools ; but parents —
some, at least—desire to instill inlo the minds
of their children foreign ideas and notions,
and for tbia purpose drag them over the
world in Fearch of that knowledge which is
never found. Our schools and colleges are
good enough, and when a girl or boy wins a
diploma from them, it is a distinction worthy
of appreciation.
“I be wnshtub is fearfully Beglected " In
deed it is. And many little duties at home
are not discharged, and many little acts are
left undone, simply fhat money mny be
wasted in running over Europe in soarch of
more fashionable schools than we have here
And when men are seen visiting the noted
reaorta of fashion, and parading their daugh
ters in public places, the logical sequence
forces itself upon the mind that some long
named Count, or titled vagabond, is the
teacher preferred. Such things have been
true in very many cases, beyond the shadow
of a doubt. The result of all this is, that
home institutions languish while fofbign
schools flourish. This should not be. We
are for patroniiing home enterprise first, al
ways.
Ohio. —There seems to be a sort of quad
rilateral fight on the tapis m Ohio. The
Democrats have nominated Ewing for Gov
ernor; the Republican* have uominated
Foster ; the Greenbackers have a candidate
also, while ooe or two other parties have
entered the arena with tbeir favorites. There
is certainly a fair prospect for somebody to
be elected, and tbe people to hear plenty of
talk. Foster is a strong man. and so is
Ewing, who was a General in tbe Union
army. As sfiairs now stand, candor sug
gests that but little stock be takeo at pres
ent io the struggle. Events may make dis
closures of s startling nature, but Foster
and Ewing are too much alike in some
respects to make a selection an easy thing.
Wrono. —Tbe great striko at Pittsburg
among the workingmen continues, with little
or no hope of adjustment. Business is at a
stand-still, and great interests are jeopar
dised by the foolhardinesa on one side and
obstinacy on tbe other. This is wrong.
Wise councils should prevail, and let matters
adjust themselves in tbe usual way.
Our Locust Grove Letter.
Mr. Editor: —As I im doing nothing to
day (as usual,) I will attempt to write you a
few lines, bnt would feel more like it if I had
any news to write, (such as some one killing
a bawk, catching a rabbit, or three or four
of Jim pets almost breaking their
necks to “jine de exodus,” or about a hun
dred head of “Col. Hayes’ cattle” coming
down to grase around the precinct while we
elect a man to fill the noexpired term of
Constable in our district) As it is, things
•re so quiet and times so dull that I don't
know bow to begin. 1( I speak of the dry
i
and extremely hot weather, you will say that
you can see and feel that; if I speak of fish
ing parties, Cumberland excursions, singing
conventions, dances, Methodist conferences,
pic-nics or Baptist associations, you might
say, Well, the newspapers are fuH of Utfm,
and of coarse they are not of much inte-est
to the reading public. But just for the sake
of corresponding with a newspaper, and
more particularly writing to a friend, I will
write a few words about the crops, people,
etc., of this neighborhood.
I will begin by saying the wheat crop is
aa fine as was ever seen in this section. Oats
are also excellent, where they were not 100
badly injured by the late cold. There is
more cotton this year than usual. The stand
i# good, and the young plant looks unusually
well. Corn is good ; gardens as fine aa can
be; in fact, the entire crop prospect is flat
tering.
The shops at the Grove arc run by “Uncle”
Jesse Williams and J. W. Onlpepper, and
are receiving a large patronage.
• Buck” Dickson is still driving away at
the calico, ribbon and pin business;
since, on Sundays, he has begun taking
buggy rides qp toward McDonough, he has
become a little negligent, and devotes a por
tion of his time to writing little verses such
as—
“My pen is bad. my ink is pale,
My love to you shall," etc
you know bow it is yourself, Mr. Editor, il
yon have ever been a young man.
Mr. A. Brown is doing a good business
in the mercantile line, and, with bis energy,
always will. He looks after bis milling in
terest, shoe shop, blacksmith Bnd wood
shops, several farms, and yet walks around
to where Bobbie is busy in th« store, sits
himself down and expresses a wish for some
thing to do.
Prof. A. Spier has a very good average
school. Qwing to the busy season in the
farms it is not as full as we would desire,
but in a short time he will have bit bands
full. His qualifications and close attention
to his duties will ever command patronage,
and warrant success.
I have not heard from our frend Pope
Spier recently, but are satisfied be has a
good school.
We put “Dock” Smith and Sam Glass
against any two farmers in the county—
“ Dock” for stirring sooner, working later
and making most money, and Bam for nice
farming and having it down to a mathemat
ical science.
Rev. I. L. Gunter preached a most inter
esting sermon at the Primitive Baptist
Church on last Sunday.
Rev. J. M. Thurman has made a regular
appointment to preaoh at the Methodist
Church on 'the third Saturday in each moqth
Hope he will have a large attendance and
Rinch success in his effort to do good.
Will write you again soon.
June Ist, 1879. Antonio.
From Fayette.
Mr. Editor :—We will finish cutting
wheat this week.
Mr. Rube Jackson h.is the finest Spring
oats we have seen. He sowed in February,
and they are ready to reap how.
Speaking of good crops, Mr. Jim Austin
has the finest corn in the neighborhood. It
is rather early to be making estimates, but
he says he confidently expects to get 40
bushels per acre off the entire place. Don’t
know ; he is one of our most successful far
mers, and may do it.
We have had delightful showers this week,
and crops are growing finely.
Mr N J. Carrol! is the largest sheep
raiser in this community, and unders'ands
the business well enough to make it quite
profitable.
A big singing at Robinson's school-house
last Sunday afternoon was much enjoyed by
those who attended. The exercises were
conducted by Mr. J. B. Rmks, assisted by
Mr. Jos. Thornton. More anon.

“What Will He tin With If?”
The Ordinary of Dooly county is in a
ludicrous predicament. Some time since,
becoming alarmed at the conflagration that
destroyed the conrt house of Worth county,
together with the records, be pm chased of n
Northern firm a safe of size sufficient to ae
commodate the books and archives of his
own county. The safe is about six ,’eei
deep, ter. feet high and ten feet lone, rearm
bling very much one-half of a freight car.
weighs some nine thousand pounds, and is
entirely fire proof. It waa delivered a month
since in Montewima, about twenty miles
from Vienna, its destination. How to trims
port it over these remaining miles of hill and
dale, at once became the popular conundrum
A contractor was found, however, who, for
and io consideration of the sum of one hun
dred and fifty dollars, agreed to undertake
the job, and a week since, after infinite labor,
it was gotten on four wheels and, drawn by
twelve mules, moved out of Montezuma in
good order. Some three miles out tbe safe
got tired of riding and sat down to real.
Since that time it has remained io the pub
lic road, tbe Vehicles passing having to take
to the woods. In spite of repeated efforts to
human power has yet succeeded in budgiag
it an inch. Ihe concern still occupies tbe
road, looking iu the distance like a dis
mounted photograph gallery
Agreeable to the popular will, three com
missioners were appointed, it 9eeros, to ta«*
charge of the affair ; these commissioners
have isaued a circular dated, “headquarters
of the Dooly county safe,” io which a re
ward of SIOO is offered lor any plan sug
gested by wbtcb the concern can be moved
to its destination at a small coat.
Your conespoodeut visited the scene a
dav or two since aud was received with
much courtesy by the chairman of the com -
mittee, whom he foand asleep in=ide; was
shown (be various plans which bad been so
far summitted, together with the answers and
objections which had been attached, pre
paratory to a report. A copy of these an
swers is herewith submitted; perhaps some
one else can come to the rescue :
M. LEVELHRAD, KBQ PLAN NO 1.
“Build a railroad from the safe to Vienna.”
The proposition while practical, is not,
we think, advisable; it would add about
two hundred thousand dollars to the original
cost, and make the safe worth more than the
county ; the safe is for the county, aod do«
the conntv for the safe.
[Sign-d] Commissioner.
a. o. wateriiousk—plan no. 2.
“D>g a canal and float her out.”
This idea is a good one. hut nothing
smaller than a river steamer will “float her.”
Besides, it is np hill all the way, and it is
about as easy to run the sale up ns the
water.
[Signed] Commissioner.
trip lightlt, esq.—plan no. 3.
“Make a summer resort out ol it and ap
ply the revenue derived towards the purchase
ol another safe.”
The county don’t want another one.
[Signed J Commissioner.
E ROUNDTREE, T. T. THOMAS— (SIMULTANE
OUSLY RECEIVED)—PLANS NOS. 4 AND 5.
“Move Vienna np to the safe”
The Commissioner thought of this plan,
which would necessitate hut a small outlay,
but the fatal objection is that the court
house of Dooly would thim be over in Macon
county ; this would be an unequal distribu
tion ol court-houses, and might provoke
erilicism.
[Sigoed] Commissioner.
K. BRILLIANT. ESQ —PLAN NO. 6.
“Rig up a balloon containing 30 000
square yards of silk, get Matt. Thornton, of
Atlanta, to supply the gas, and, with a block
and tackle, float it ofl ”
The commissioner never thought of this
before, and don’t think much of it now ;
still the plan has some good points. The
chief objection seems to he Ibe lack of the
amount of silk and knowledge of how far up
the safe will go when it starts There is ao
uncertainty, also, of bow fur down it will
come when It descends ; if anything happens,
it seem* to us that a safe of this description
falling a couple of miles would makes moun
tain of everv valley in China and shoot the
islands of Polyponesia into eternity. We are
noi of the narrow-minded class who believe
that the “Chinee should go.” We don’t
think No. 6 a good plan.
[Signed] Commissioner.
P NOSEOAT. ESQ. —PLAN NO 7.
“Fit up the concern with a boiler and
smoke slack and run it as a road wagon.”
We don’t think the plan will work ; the
machine wouldn’t hold enough steam to
move it; besides a burglar could at any time
afterwards come dowD the smoke stuck and
steal the archives.
[Signed] • Commissioner.
These are all the returns received up to
date: In the meantime the Commissioners
reside in the safe and pass the time plaving
old sledge, or fishing in the neighboring
creeks. It is now believed that an effort
will be made at the next meeting of the
Legislature to change the county line so as
to include tlie safe in Dooly ;in which event,
plan No. 4. and 5 will be adopted and
Vienna will move up to the safe.

Qckrn Victoria’s Troubles and Health.
—The London Times of tbe 26th of 4pril
says somewhat ominously : The Queen re
turns to- day from a holiday in which she has
been followed by the warm sympathy of her
subjects, ll was but too easy to understand
that she was in need of some special relaxa
tion at tbe present time. The Queen has
been on the throne for forty-lwo years, aod
during that long reign has borne tbe burden
of one of the most momentous freriods of
British history Had there been nothing
else to try the Queen’s health than her po
litical cares and duties, they would of late
been more than sufficient to overstrain a na
ture which has borne the anxieties of so pro
longed and eventful a career. But other
troubles have of late lallen upon the Queen,
which were peculiarly hard to bear amid
such giave public difficulties, and which her
people are more competent to understand.
The death of Princess Alice, both in itself
and in its singular circumstances, was a sor
row of nnusnnl bitterness, and it revived the
most grievous experience of the Queen's life.
The deaths of ber grandchildreu deepened
tbe gloom in the hous. bold, und ber thoughts
could only turn fiom anxieties abroad to
sorrows at home It would have been won
derful if, in such circumstances, she had been
able to dispense with an interval of thorough
change n< d re«t, and it is only to bo hoped
ttiat it has been long enough and complete
enough tc iffbrrl bet a thorough refreshment.

ALCXANDRR H. STKPHRNB I* THR HottSß
—Mr Alexander U. Stephens, of Georgia,
is one ol tbe most interesting figures oo ibe
floor of the House. He sits in a wheeled
chair in tbe area, light in Itont of the
Speaker, a shadowy semblance of a man, j
with his legs crossed, and his bat on his j
bead. W beu be desires to move one of bis
limbs for rest, it requires the aid of both
hands to do It. On biH right a little writing
dpsk is attached to his chair, and On this he
holds ft s papers. He watches closely all of
the proceedings of the House, and during the
extra session is said to be nearly always
present, which was not usually the case at.
former serious. Recently Mr. Stephens re
ported a bill and made a short speech oo the
snbjivt. His voice at first was feeble and
somewhat grating, but as he warmed op it
as-mined its old clearness and penetrating
quality, and could be distinctly heard all
over the House. As Mr Stephens spoke be
wheeled his chair, first facing the spenker,
and then toward the members by a slight
effirrt of one of his hands, and with the
other he made some attempt at gesticula
tion. He remained seated throughout his
rtmatks. He removed his hat. while speak
ing, and showed a good suit of hair, quite
long and gray. His hands were gloved.
How a Judge Solved a Nice Question
of Law —A correspondent tells a story
about Judge Kent that is interesting. A
ease of burglary was being tried before him.
The prisoner’s name was Cowdrey and the
evidence showed that he had cot a hole
through a rubber tent in which several per
sons were sleeping, large enough to admit
hjs arm and head, and had abstracted sev
era! articles of value. His counsel took the
ground that the prisoner, having only
reached into the tent, had not “entered” it,
and that on this technicality the defendant
should be discharged. In his charge to the
jury Kent, with a grim smile. adoded to the
plea of the prisoner’s counsel, and instructed
them that, if they were in doubt as to the
guilt of the whole man, they might briDg
him in gnilty as far as they judged the evi
dance would warrant, and the jury after a
brief period f consultation, brought in a
verdict against Thomas Cowdrey, the pris
oner at the bar, of guilty to the full letter of
the itidictsr.eni as to his right arm, bis right
shoulder and his head. The judgesen'enced
the arm, the shoulder and the head of said
Thomas Cowdrey to imprisonment at bard
labor in the State prison for the term of two
years. Tne prisoner might do with the re
mainder of his body what he pleased.
Birthday or Rome. —The 21st of April
was »he anniversary of the foundation of
R oti.e by Romulus on the Pa'atine Hill.
The Eternal City now counts 2 632 years
of existence, and this_ event was celebrated
by an illumination of the Forum with Ben
gal lig’hts. This custom is in imitation of
the ancient Romans, who celebrated the an
niversary with public rejoicings and religions
and civil festivals. It lias been usual to il
lum nate also the Coliseum, but the many
excavations which have been made in the
arena would have made it dangerous to
admit a crowd in the interior. The illumi
nation with red and green lights was there
fore limited to the Forum, but even thus
restricted it was sufficient to attract grea 1
numbers of the strangers in Romp as well as
the cittern* to enjoy the enchanting specta
cle. M::ny were admitted to the garden! of
the Palatine Hill, from which they cou'd
look down upon the Forum aud see its col
umns arid broken rostrums, and its Sacra
Via, where Julius Csesar and Augustus and
Mark Antony, the lords of the world, once
trod.— koine Con. N. Y Evening Post.
Flow Blaine Looked in his Last Speech
—The cold, conseivative air of the Senate
bhghts the flowers of "bouncing Jimmy’s"
eloquence. When be has the earnest stimu
lus of a howling mob of House members the
Maine Senator is in his element. He is just
the man to ride dowt> a mob and bully the
roughest bullies that ever existed in the
House arena In the Senate to-day there
was an air of chilliness which was depre-sing
to enthusiastic souls. Edmunds sat with Iris
hand up to his face as if he were attending
the funeral of a frieod. Coukling crossed
his plaid trousers legs, adjusted a downy curl
and buried his intellect in a huge newspaper.
Carpenter, Logan and Chandler sat back,
looking cool and critical. The Democratic
Ride assumed a would-be impassive air.
When Blaine rose every eye turned to him.
The diplomatic people studied biro through
their glasses. Every one had almost the
same thought : "There is a Presidential can
didate making his fight for popular lavor.
His speech is nothing but an appeal to ihe
nation to satisfy his great ambitiou." Cor.
