The little story about Ananias points a moral that he might spend his spare time iD considering, with profit. A Good Mora— Our people are unani mously in faror of the passage of the bill by the session of the Legislature, to transfer all casts of misdemeanor from the Superior to the Couoty Court. —Montezvma Weekly. This is a good move. Too much of tbe time of the Superior Courts is now occupied in trying cases which should Barer go beyond a Magistrate's Court; and if such a bill as tbe above could be passed, a great deal of time and money would be saved to the tax payers, who, at last, are the ooea who pay for running tbe machine. West Point.—Tbe following will show how Georgia boys "cross the Rubicon" at West Point. It is always gratifying to hear of cur boys doing well anywhere, aod especially at tbe North : In a published list of tbe graduates for tbe present year we see that Georgia has but ooe r» presents)ire. Cadet James Lockett, son of Colonel Beu Lockett, of Albany. He graduates as number thirty id a class of sixty-seven. Mr. Lockett has bad a course at West Point which has been honorable to hia State and himself.

It is also a good bargain The road is io good order, and will pay » profit of certainly not less than sereß per ceat. Mr. Wadley is too sauacioaa to bare let such a chance slip, aod bis action will be commended almost uni versally. 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. June Bth, 1879. Fatett*. “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. “X. I E " —Macon Telegraph and Messenger. 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.

W. Childs. 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.
