Marion Crawford opens up a new line of thought in his article entitled “Rome, the Capital of a New Republic,” appearing in the October Cosmopolitan. It is not*likely that the October num ber will have the success which atten ded that for September. The extraordinary spectacle was presented of a cent magazine selling for 50 and 75 cents, and many hundreds were even sold at SI.OO each. Probaly the record remains without a parallel, iu periodical sales, of a number proving so interesting that, after 211,000 cop ies had been sold, the News Company had orders for 50,000 more than they could supply, while dealers in various parts of the country, discovering the esteem in which the magazine was held, immediately raised their prices to doub le, treble, quadruple aud in many cases to eight times the regular price. The publishers do not yet know what their real circulation is, owing to the limited capacity of their presses; but machin ery is being put iu place which will supply an edition for December ex ceeding 300,000, and during that month it will be possible to determine just how many Cosmopolitans the public will buy.

A Paragraphic Penciling of Pass ing Events. ■V AT THE 11AR. i “Who speaks for this man ?” From the great White Tliroae, Veiled in its rebate clouds, the voice came forth ; Before it stood a parted soul alone. And rolling east, and west, ni£ south, and north, The mighty aceents summoned quick and dead ; “Who speak, for this man, ere his doom lie said ? t! Shivering, lie listened, for his early life Had passed in dull, unnoted calm away ; He brought no gl<k.7to his early strife, No wreath of fame, or genius’ fiery ray ; Weak, lone, ungifted, quiet and obscure, Born in shadow, dying ’mid the poor. Lo .’ from the solemn concourse, hushed and dim, otp"-" -—’ The widow’s prayer, the orphan’s blessing rose ; The struggler told of trouble shared by him, The lonely of cheered hours and softened woes ; And like a chorus spake the crushed and sad, “He gave us all ho could and what he had.” And little words of ‘loving kiuduess said, And t ender thoughts, and help in time of need, Sprang up, like leaves by soft spring aliow ert fed, In some waste corner, sown by chance flung seed, In grateful wonder heard the modest soul, Such trifles gathered to so bless the whole.

The following compliment from the peu of friend Joe Tarver, who has recently assumed editorial control of that model weekly, the Hankinsville News and Dispatch, is duly appreciated by this quill driver : Editor Fouche, formerly of the Hankinsville Dispatch, is making a splendid paper out of Tim Henry County Weekly.

The Weekly meant no re flection on our worthy marshal, who has ever proven himself a courteous and efficient officer, but what was said was intended merely as a suggestion. We still claim that our suggestion rel ative to working these vagabonds on the streets would have a beneficial ef fect in dimisliing the frequency of their visits to our midst, and further suggest that our city fathers pass an ordinance to that effect.

Then your knots of pine are lighted and the dogs with pleasure howl, till they scare that poor benight ed bird of wisdom called the’owl; then, regardless of all chiding, to the swamps the dogs run free, and they find the fat old ’possum hiding up the ’simmon tree.” * * « The man who dares to say in this world just what In* means is very rare, but he is more numerous than popular.

Aftor an absence of several years we have at last returned to old Henry county, and have domiciled ourselves at the above named place. We feel more like writing a saluta tory than a mere weekly comtnunica tion ; but suffice it to say, we will defer the salutatory and write up tbis grow ing little water-town, inland village. We have just made a tour of inspec tion of the different industries in aud around this place, and find all m pros perous condition. Mention of each separately will be made in the near fu ture. At a meeting of the trustees of Rock Spring Academy, at this place, last week, Prof. VV. T. McMillan, of Jack son, Ga., was elected as principal. The position was unsought, of course ; and Prof. McMillan’s electiou affords a felicitous opportunity to express the gratified pride of the community at this flattering acknowledgment of his talents. 11 is naturally fine mind has been broadened by travel, and enriched by contact with the fountain heads of art and litorature. The futuro always has luurels for a worthy ambition based on undeniable talents. The fall and winter term opened Monday last, with flattering prospects. The merchants of this place are doing a thriving business. They re port collections fairly good. Our knitting factory has closed down for repairs aud enlargement.

Away back in the days of our fath ers, such a thing as a deep toned organ was not so much as thought of—much less occupying a central place right in front of the preacher’s stand. Hut the age being progressive, the music and aid of the organ have been brought to the front. While there ie yet some opposition to the use of the organ in the house of worship, there are a great many who approve of tho use of appropriate mu sical instruments in the worship of God. VV ay back iu the good old camp meet ing times, a long tin trumpet was used as a signal for the people to assemble at the stand, but beyond that, the tin horn was not heard. Tho boys of those good old time Methodist people had not been trained to blow on mu sical instruments. Home of them could make an echoing blast ou the hunts man’s horn that would call the dogs together for the fox chase, or the pos sum hunt, but no one ever thought there was such a volumn of enraptur ing music in one of these round about tin horns. I tell yon, if you never at tended one of these gospel tent meet ings, you just ought to go and hear them boys toot them musical horns. They can get there, brother, and that captivating toot horn music had much to do with calling out thoso large crowds of men, women and children that went up to the service and worship of God at the gospel tent meetings. I went in the outset to hear what the leading preacher had to say, but after hearing him three or four times, 1 then went more to hear the exliilorating music than I did the preaching, which I was interesting to many, but to me monotonous and uninteresting. lam fully persuaded if the instrumental department of the music was removed from those iteuerating tent meetings, much of the interest that has been ta ken in the tent meetings would greatly subside. When men are without men tal force sufficient to command and at tract a popular hearing, they have to resort to other means, or methods, to enlist the populace into a stirring cur rant. By all legal means, let the mu sic be continued. That may be the only successful way of getting many old dry hardened cases to go out and hear of a deep down, smoking, burning lake of literal fire, that God will send thorn into, if they do not repent and turn to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them before these popular tout meetings cease tbeir mission of seeking aud saving lost sinners. ISy no meaus would we speak lightly of the various instrumentalities that God would approve and employ to bring the poor wandering sinners back to the sheltering fold of the kind shepherd. Who knows but that this new depart ment ou the line of our church going music, may be in accord with divine recognition, and intended for means of leading the erring into ways of peace and right-doing. If need be, let the organ, cornet and David’s harp of sol emn sound be blended with our church music, if desigued for the salvation of sinners aud for the exalted glory of God. W. T. G.
