When some misguided merchants statq
That they themselves are always great
In giving better bargains than the fellows
In the same trade, it seems their bellows
Are blown so often that they think it’s true,
While lcokers-on say, ‘Ganunou! It won’t do.’'
So as a rule, Tis altogether best
To tell the truth and lot folks judge the rest.

And olhei-8.
The democratic majority in the
present house of representatives is
inly five, but the majority in the
'•text congress will be fully fifty. In
New York alone the democrats ex
pect to gain eight seats; they also
expect to gain two in New Jersey,
two in Indiana and four in Illinois.
There may be losses in Louisiana,
Virginia, Tennessee, and perhaps
in Georgia, but these losses will be
fashion for the papers advocating
the re-election of Govornor Colquitt
to laud him tot; his military record
and to sneer at Mr, Norwood for the
want of ono. To tho Governor,
the high praise, which he justly
earned as a General in the Confed
erate army, should be accorded. The
The writer participated, in an hum
ble capacity, in the battle of Olus-
tec, and recalls wit(i a thrill of
pride and pleasure, which no polit
ical differences can extinguish, the
conduct of General Colquitt on that
eventful day.
It also happened to me that in
tho early part of the war, I was a
member of the company in which
T. M. Norwood enlisted as a pti
vute soldier. It was my accidental
privilege to know him intimately
there—to tent with him and to
mess with him.
I recall, as if it was yesterday,
when he was stricken down by dis
ease, and the anguish which wrung
his heart—as true and brave a
heart as beat in the breast of any
Confederate soldier—when he was
told by the medical advisors that
he was permanently disabled fof ac
tive service and could no longer
hope to perform duty. Now, this
is the man to whom (having near
ly lost his eye sight by disease con
tracted in the service) the Colquitt
papers apply sneers and gibes and
epithet of “sore-eyes.” Well, it
was a great and glorious tiling to
be a General! thought many a
weary Confederate soldier, as lie
plodded along and saw thpGenpral
with his staff. But when I think
of those patient and gallant Fel
lows, privates, no matter whether
disabled by disease or wounds at
the outset of their career or serving
honorably to the close of the war,
I cannot but believe that the people
of Georgia will consider them no
fit sqbjept for contemptuous sneers,
but entitled to as much honor as
tho highest heroes in the land.

the Augusta footing 375 is proba

used, to wash clean anything that can
be washed by hand. It will wash
the finest lace or largest quilt,
can be put in and taken out of an

save one-half tho time required to do
