GIVE ME THE PEOPLE.
Some love the glow of our outward show—
Some love mere wealth, and try to win it 1

If I but like the people in it 1
What’s all tlre gok], that glitters cold,
When link’t'd lo hard or haughty feeling?
Whnle’er we’re told, the tiobhr gold
Is truth of heart and manly dealing !
Then let tin m 9cek, whose minds are weak,
Mere fashion's smile, and try to wiu it;
The house to me may lowly be,

A lowly roof may give us proof
That lowly flowers are olten fairest;
And trees, whose bark is bard and dark,
May yield us fruit, and bloom the rarest !
There’s worth as sure, ’oeatb garments poor,
As e’er adorned a loftier station ;
And minds as just as those, we trust,
Whose claim is but of wealth’s creation 1
Then let them seek, wbo«e minds are weak,

Great Atlanta.
“X. I. E.,’’ the humorous correspondent
of tbe Telegraph and Mcsse)iger, gives the
following glowiDg description of the Capital
city :
Here I am in Atlanta ! Atlanta the heau
tifnl! Atlanta who sits among the hills
clasping to her inoiherly bosom the infant
Custom House, lest by chance it slip down
aud wet its Icct iu tl« sud salt sea. Glorious
Atlanta !
1 never realized that I had thoroughly
arrived until 1 stepped Irani ilie train otid a
vandal robbed me of two dollurs which l
guve him to have charged, and for whose
return I waited, and am still waiting—thenT
it flashed upon me that 1 had surely Come
and was face to face with the Queen of tbe
Hills.
My first impulse, after rubbing my list 3
into aiy eyes awhile, was to look round me.
I obeyed the impulse, nod loumi myself shel
tered by a building of gigantic dimensions ;
it was the depot, the lurgest in the South,
and the magnificence ol the architecture
overwhelmed me; coming as 1 did fiom
Macon, a way station on the Central Rail
road, lately moved by the Commissioner of
Agricultute into South Georgia, I was not
prepared for such a surprise, and with beads
of perspiration encircling my brow sank
down upon my carpet-sack speechless with
rapture. While thus sitting a man ap
proached me. He had a born under his
urm. I u.-lud, in a whisper, pointing up
wards ;
“Is this tbe work of man ?”
He smiled, and replied ; “No ; it is the
woik of men, Atlanta men,'’ und raising his
born gave a blast so long, so deep, that 1
regarded him with admiration. I was al
most convinced that Roland had returned
from Ronoevalles and was present in person.
I besought him to show me an inn where I
might refresh the inner man, telling him that
I was a stranger and had already been “taken
in.” He guided me to tbe mouth of the
depot, and, striking a tragic attitude, bade
me look up. I looked up and immediately
sat down (the shadow of grandeur always
weakens my knees.) Did mortal South
Georgia vLion rver encounter such stupend
ous magnificence ?
“That,” he said, “is the nigh KimbaU
House—tbe largest in the South.” He then
raised his horn and blew a second blast,
while I sat lost in wonder and udmiraiion.
When my first surprise wore away, I had
strength enough to look around, and per
ceived another gigantic structure at tbe end
of tbe street.
“And that,” he exclaimed, ‘‘is the celebra
ted Markham House.” The plan of the city
then flashed upon me : Atlanta was built
in the shape of a triangle; the High Kim
ball, the depot, and the Markham were built
at the angles, and the city was within.
Pleased at my discovery, and perceiving that,
no one seemed astonished at seeing ink, I
picked up myseif and carpet-sack, and, fol
lowing *»y guide’s advice, made my way into
the nigh Kimball. One thiug struck me
as peculiar ; every man. woman and child 1
saw had a born s'ung under ’.he arm, and
this they proceeded to blow whenever any
one asked a question about the city. I asked
the hotel clerk about the health of the place,
aod he blew a blast shook me to the
very foundation ; 1 ivked the bar-tender if
it was ever hot, and he gave me another that
rattled every tooth, fc B y head, and so on
everywhere. 1
Having secured the finest breakfast in the
South, L forth to view the new
Capitol, a building erected by the city in
fulfillin' 0 j a constitutional promise when
the S wa 3 looking around for a location
HAMPTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1879.
out difficulty, und for the third time my
knees gave way. Words would (ail iiip
should I attempt to portray my feelings upon
first beholding it, and I shall simply describe
the buildii gas it appeared to me after the
novelty bad woro away.
The massive piece of architecture known
as the new Capitol is situated on a com
manding hill, just outside the grand triangle,
anil 1 can truly say that the eye of a South
Georgian never before beheki such a build
ing. From a foundation of solid granite, a*
marble pile pioudly rears its hend to the
clouds and is surmounted by a bronze figure
of a woniun some 26 feet high. This woman
represents Atlanta. In her right hand she
uplifts a gigantic bronze horn, the smaller
end of which is fitted to her mou h ; in tier
left, she extends a gna burner into the air.
By an ingenious arrangement, steam can be
forced through this horn and made to pro
duce a sound that can be heard ull over the
land. At night a stream of gas is turned
into the burner, which, when lit, is visible
from four States. I did not learn the namee
of the States, but suppose that Expectation,
Sensation, Insolvency and Agitution were
tlie ones referred to, us f met more people
from these States than any other.
Tire western wing of the building has a
portico of pure white marble, and overtire
row of columns, eighty-four in number,
which supports the roof, nmy be seen marble
statues of Ben llill, High Kimball, Mar
cellus Thornton and Joe Biowo, engaged,
apparently, in animated discussion. Bullock
is not there, but an open door in the rear
suggests the lact that be has just retired
The eastern wing is similarly constructed,
except that the columns are made of bine
marble, front Lynch’s quarry, in ‘he city.
The figures above this portico represent the
directors of the State road, seated about a
broad table dividing the earnings of the road
equally between themselves and the State—
twenty-five thousand apiece all around. Be
tween the wings is the main building, a
princely dome crowned by the broi zc figure
before mentioned. In this dome ure won,
detful pictures set in the wall, each of them
twenty feet square, and the figures itr them
life-size. These are the finest in the South,
and were all painted bv Atlanta artists. The
first picture to the right as you enter is a
faithful representation of the Atlanta Rolling
Mills in full operation ; the figures of the
workmen, grimed and blackened, are life
like productions, and in the distance some
forty-odd freight trains grow dim in the
perspective as they bear away the manu
factures of the works j by a simple contri
vance, drops of water fall into the dust at
the base of the picture, representing the
sweat—the largest in the South—dropping
from the brows of the workmeu. The
deception is complete. The second pictuie
is a representation of the Atlanta Ice Works.
The blocks of ice look so temptingly cool
that hundreds of visitors linger around it
constantly. They linger longer there than
at any point in the South. The third pic
ture repre-'en's a scene at Ponce Do Leon
Springs, the principal watering place of the
South. Crowds of travelers flock to the
registers of the various hotels, where an
armed guard is maintained night and day to
prevent too many guests from registering.
The figure of the warlike guard, with foot
upon the inkstand and gun at ‘ charge bayo
nets,” presents a striking appearance. In
the distuuce may be seen thirteen street cars
stalled by heavy loads of passengers, while
near at hand the health officer is removing
the bodies of a score of horeep, killed the day
previous by overwork. The fourth picture
shows a convention of Atlanta editor* seated
in a semi-circle, each with a horn at tils
mouth—excepting Grady ; be is a little in
the rear, embellishing the life of some prom
inent Georgian at 810 a column, with the
most eloquent pen in tbe Bouth. The fifth
picture represents the established trade of
Atlanta. Ao elegantly dressed merchant
sits in his couDting-rooin with bis foot on
the mnntel and thumb in the armhole of his
vest while hundreds of anxious-looking cus
tomers lean across tbe counter offering biro
every variety of bills iu exchange for his
goods—goods which he will not sell until be
lias finished smoking (be finest home-made
cigar in tbe isou,th.
Mingling with tbe crowd may be seen
dirummers from Macon, Savannah, Augusta
and other Georgia villages offering tbeir
goods in vain. The sixth and last picture
covers the ceiling of the dome, the highest in
the South. In tbe center is a bird's-eye
view of Atlao'a, from whch leads out a
railroad that looks somewhat like a gigantic
spiral watch spring. On this road, which
circles around Atlanta about ope hundred
times, the towns of the State are represented
by dots.
Tbe entire building is finished in tbe high
est style of art—the highest in the South.
cooled in summer by cold air—the hottest
and coldest, considering the seasons, in the
South, and lit by thousands of gas i ts.
Here our overburdem d legislut irs may work
in comfort and security ; the cracked wails
of the Opera House may crumble in ruins,
but the walls of the new Capitol will ;; ver
fall—never! —that is, hurdly soon ; at any
rale they will never fall upon any of the
present generation.
Such is a brief description of the Capitol
built by Atlunta to accommodate the Leg
islaUreof Georgia; it is “as good as the
old one, in every respect, as every one who
sees it will acknowledge, and is said to have
cost two hundred thousand dollurs.” In these
•days of broken contracts, it is refreshing to
see a city fulfill so liberally her promise ;
we lmve now a castle for the liberties of the
people thnt reaches to the clouds, and when
we remember that Atlanta did it all with
out help—that the building has not cost the
State u cent—we do brag a little.
On reaching my room at night, I was
worn out with excitement and fatigue; I
could scarcely believe I had seen so much
I felt like one of Bret Harte’s characters,
who exclabned :
“Do 1 sleep ? do I dream ?
Do i wonder in doubt ?
Are tilings what they seem
Or are visions ulaiut ?”
Piobably the largest vision in the South.

of Charlotte finite, would be wolully di-up
pointed. But then it must be remembered
that the people of Haworth have ulways in
sisted that Mrs. Haskell's pictuio of the
place was grossly inaccurate and exaggerat
ed- “I think she tried to make us all appear
as had as she could do.” was the declaration
o! Charlotte Bronte's fat her to one who spoke
to him on the subject a lew years before bis

Cither ot the picturesqm-ness, or the squalor,
nr the savuge abandonment puiuted by M rf ’-
Haskell, to be seen in and around Haworth.
The change that has taken place in the vil
lage street is reproduced in the world-fumed
church and parsonage I have just visited
the former for the first time for several years,
and Gnd that some of its most distinctive
features have already been removed. The
gallery over the ultar has been swept away,
and though the old “three-decker” pulpit
still stands, the bottom seat, where Mr
Bronte’s clerk droned forth the responses in
former days, has been taken down. Of these
changes one Cunnot, perhaps, complain ;
though even will be heard of with a
pang of regret by many who have seen the
church io former times. But what is to be
said of another change that has been made
under the inh-lligeni direction of the Rev.
Mr. Wade? lie has insisted upon the re
moval of the Brontes’ p»w! That qmint
“rquare pew," of h ty j>e now rap illy vanish
ing, had held more than one famous person
age in tlie days T n Oorrer B -ll win In her
prime. Tlmck -u; and Miss Martincun and
George Lewis, a»*J rum.? another distin
guished author, might from time to time be
seen seated here listening to one of Mr
Bronte’s vigorous sermons on the religion of
common lile and common sense. Iri one
corner—not a foot from the'spot where her
grave now is—Charlotte Bronte had hertTwn
seat, and there, Sunday after Sunday, with
uodi viating regularity, she was to be seen,
alike in the days of her obscurity and her
fame, with her eyes fixed upon the book held
within a few inches of her face, or upoo the
pulpit which father or bosband occupied In
the opposite corner was Emily's seat, Kmily
sitting characteristically with her back to
the congregation, intent upon her own
thoughts and upon the distant view through
tbe window of those moors which she loved
so passionately, rather than upon tbe utter
ances of the preacher. Well, the pew is
gone. \\ as it in the wuy ? No, not even
that poor excuse can be made, for its site
has been merely thrown into the aisle It
was swept away some ytars ago, before the
iconoclasts of tbe Bronte worship bad
dreamed of going so far as to ilatrcy tbe
church itself. Ah 1 well; one cuo still stand
at the altar where Charlotte stood oa that
early sommer morning when she gave her
band to tbe mao .who bud loved her and
served for b r as long and faithfully as Jacob
for Rachael. And standing there, looking
at tbe lit{le tablet with that long array of
the names of the de:d children of “The Rev.
P. Bronte, A B-i Minister of Haworth,”
the lettering of which is already being ob
scured by tune, one can still (eel with awe
and revereuce that beneath our feet lie the
two women who, with Mrs. Biowning,

satisfaction f snv. is s! II within our reach.
But in a short time that, also, will be taken
from us ; for surely in <he brand-new Gothic
church of llaworth there will be no room
for the memory, hard'y any even for the
bones of the Brontes. The Wades and sueh
like personage* will be enough to fill it! The
quaint old shrine, where so many generations
of villagers have worshiped content, ami
which has been glorified by the presence of
so rare and extruordmury a genius, and pnri
by the memory of a yet rarer virtue and
courage, is doomed ; snd the day of its dis
appearance will not now be long delayed

Putting on a Collar.
At this time of the year almost every man
purchases some new style of Piccadilly col
lar. As the heat has an alarming tendency
to make the average collar wilt and look
mean, he gets some with ns muny pys as
possible What he wants is a collor about
as thick as the wood which is used for mnk
ing cigar boxes lie succeeds after a diligent
search in getting just whot he needs, and
in the evening before calling on his fair
one he thinks he will put on a new collar
and a white necktie. Tills is how ho does
it, according to the New York Star':
He goes to his room and selects a collar
and buttons it on behind ; then he fastens
one of the ends in frout, and iu doing so he
is compelled to look up iu the air like a
chicken swallowing water, audio moke fnoial
gyrations which would bring him n fortune if
be could execute them on a pantomimic stage.
After a sustained effort, which brings forth
tears and perspiration, he manages to button
tbe first end, and takes a breathing spell be
fore essaying to fasten the second. He is in
a stuteof desperation now, for, unfortunately,
he has but two hours since cut his nails so
short that he finds it utterly impossible to
pinch the buttonhole around his collar but
ton, the inside portion of which occasionally
grips him like a vise, und can set him to
pucser up his lips us though he hud just
eaten a green persimmon, and to close one
eye as though about to glance over a gun
barrel at a decamping cat.
It is a terrible ordeal for him; he turns
around on his heel, und sways his left arm to
give impetus to his short nails, but it is all
in vain ; that collar seems more perverse and
fixed in its intentions every moment; and the
man feels as though he would like to grasp
the unbuttoned end, and with one effort yank
himself off'his feet. He oow grits his teeth
and takes hold with both bauds, und after a
desperate encounter of three minutes the
collar is on. After a breathing spell, be
bends the ends over, and a sort of psycholog
ical rainbow ennincD his features. The next
thing on the programme is to get out a
white necktie, which he does, and soon has it
around his neck nod fastened in a bow*
which be thinks will find favor in the critical
eyes of Angelina during the evening.
By the time he has donned his coat and
has picked up his walking stick and silk hat
to sally forth, he happens to notice in «he
glass that his cravat bow his peregrinated
arou id to th" portion of his collar located
directly under his left ear In an instant his
coat and vest are off and lie puts the bow in
place, and takes a pin from bis bureau to
la-deo his necktie to his collar in a maimer
which will make its shifting from a fixed po
sition au utter impossibility. Ho he cranes
his neck forward for the operation- The
collar is so thick that the feat of penetrating
if with a pin is no easy mutter. This be
discovers after he has made a few desperate
but imffictual lunges in vain.
Every time he presses his thumb against
the pinhead he imagines it is nbout to run
up into him and shoot owt somewhere be
tween bis wrist and knuckles ; so he puts the
back of bis brush handle between his tbuipb
and the pin, and after having it slip off and
scratch his Angers several times, the pin is
finally forced through with a velocity tbat
carries it into bis neck. Then be whimpers
some, and grasps the biusb again tm drive
the pin from tbe inside to the outside of bis
collar, and thus have everything fixed to-bis
satisfaction, 'Hie pin then bends out of
shape, and he is compelled to throw it on
the floor and jump on it for revenge. Going
to the eusion for another pin, be discovers
there is not one in it; so be picks the bended
one up off lire floor aud straightens it out
with bis teeth.
In Older to fasten that necktie to bis col
lar, without Laving the trouble he experienc
ed in his first essay, he removes it hom his
neck and soou has tbe operation performed.
He then has to button it oo bis shirt again.
Alter tugging at the buck button for a few
minutes that valuable member tpes off, and
with an expression more forcible than ele
gant be comes to tbe conclusion that be will
