DEATH.
Out of the sorrows of sadness
Into the sunlight of gladness,
Into the light of the blest;
Out of the land very dreary,
Out of the world of the weary,
Into the rapture of rest.
Out of to-day’s sin and sorrow,
Into a blissful to-morrow,
Into a day without gloom;
Out of a land tilled with sighing—
Land of the dead and the dying—
Into a land without tomb.
o’er—
Out of a life of commotion,
Tempest swept oft as the ocean,
Dark with the wreck drifting
Into a land calm and quiet;
Never a storm cometb nigh it—
Never a wreck on its shore.
Out of a land In whose bowers
rerish and fade all the flowers—
Out of the laud of decay—
Into the Eden where fairest
Of flowers, and sweetest and rarest,
Never shall wither away.
Out of the world of the ailing,
Thronged with anguish and wailing;
Out of the world of the sad—
Into the world that rejoices,
World of bright visions and voices.
Into the world of the glad.
Out of a life ever lomful,
* Out of a land ever mournful,
Where in bleak exile we roam—
Into a jov land above us, ,
Where there’s a Father to love us—
Into our “Home, Sweet Home.”

Poisoned by Guano.—Quitman Re
porter: Mr. John H. Hooper, a farmer
living a few miles south of Quitman, had
one of his hands so badly poisoned from
putting out guano last spring that he will
have to have it amputated. He has suf
fered severely with it, we learn, and will
now have to submit to losing it or die,
We have not been advised wliat brand he
used, but understand it was an acid
guano.
A Dfserved Compliment.—Thomas-
ville Enterprise: Miss Bessie Merrill has
been elected associate principal of the
Macon High School. She has been con

the trustees., faculty and pupils. The
compliment is a high but deserved one.
She is one of Tbomasville’s most accom
plished anil popular young ladies, and we
rejoice to sea her so fully appreciated by
our Macou friends.

The Dealing correspondent of the Mc
Duffie Journal says:
Some time ago Sir. Wm. Printup was
appointed special constable to arrest one
Frank Widencr, and after one of llie most
desperate struggles since the days of Sam
son and the Philistines, succeeded in cap
turing him. He carried the prisonei to
his bouse, determined to keep him safe,
by-gad! or know the reason why. Mr.
Printup rinnod liis hands behind him,
tied his legs U>_ether, and then tied him
to Ins son Dee. Dee fastened down the
windows and placed liiuiself well-armed
in the door.
After remaining up some two hours,
and supposing everything right, Mr.
Printup retired to sleep, from which he
was aroused next morning by groans and
calls. Ha rushed to the jail only to find
Widener gone, Dee bound hand and foot,
a note lyiug on the floor thanking.Mr.
Printup for his kindness, and conveying a
kiss and Widener’s undying devotion to
Judge Jones. Mr. Printup is disgiisted
and deserves the sympathies of a generous

Remarkable Forgetfulness of a
Mother.—Forest yews: A case of ab
sence of mind has just occurred at Red
Clay, which immeasurably surpasses
everything of previous record. Near a
large planing mill, in that town, there
lives a family named Bose. Several days
ago Mrs. Rose had occasion to go to the
mill, carrying her ten months old child
along with her. While there the little one
fell asleep, and, becoming rather burden
some, she laid it in a large box in the mill.
After concluding her business she left the
mill, forgetting all about the child, leaving
it peacefully sleeping in the bottom of the
box m the mill. Some hours later she re-
marked its absence, but, remembering
where she laid it, she thought she had
told her husband to bring it home, and
she felt no further uneasiness.
At supper the father came, but with no
child! She anxiously asked him inre-
f ard to the child, but he disclaimed any
nowledge of its whereabouts. Upon her
telling him where she had laid it, and
where, in all probability it was still lying,
a sudden pallor overspread liis face, and
it was with the greatest difficulty that he
could tell her that a few moments before
he had emptied several bushels of meal in
that self-same box, and in all probability
the child had long since died from suffo
cation. A doctor was hurriedly sent for,
the box was sought, and in it, under the
meal, lay the child, bereft of all sensibil
ity. The doctor applied every known res
torative, but, at last accounts, it still lay
in a comatose state, with hardly a possi
bility of recovery.
Whebe are the Georgia Confederate
war records? Gen. Henry C. Wayne has
addressed an open letter to Colonel Her
bert Fielder in the Savannah News, from
which we extract the following:
On being appointed adjutant and in
spector general of the State of Georgia, in
November, 1860,1 organized the office, as
nearly as I could, after those of the war
department. Every letter, or communi
cation, bearing upon the business of the
office, was endorsed, lettered, numbered,
answered, and appropriately filed,. the an
swers being copied and indexed into let
ter books prepared for the purpose. Eve
ry paper coming to the office requiring an
answer was scrupulously and promptly
replied to. At the eud of the year the
loose papers and documents were ar
ranged in order alphabetical iy, enveloped,
and carefully placed for ready reference
in a box made of given dimensions, num
bered with the year, and provided with
lock and key, aud screws, should they he
needed, for greater security.
When it became a certainty that Mil-
ledgeville would be occupied by the Fed
eral army, the records not already put
away, were in like manner boxed, locked
and screwed tightly down, and by the in
genuity of Colonels Briscoe and De
Uraeffenricd, clerks in the office, were
carefully concealed.
The Federal troops passed through
Milleilgeville without discovering them;
and when Provisional Governor Johnson
took possession of the State house, I
turned over to him my four boxes of re
cords, complete as they had been packed,
having previonsly verified their integrity
Ity personal examination of each, assisted
in the scrutiny by Colonels Briscoe and
De Graefl'enried, and by Major John O,
Fen-ill, iny assistant.
I was thus particular, as the records
would be of use in making up the history
«»r Georgia during the war, and as there
were besides correspondences with other
officers in the Confederate army and with
some of our public men, all bearing upon
the war, our civil and political condition,
and on other matters, of interest to the fir
ture historian. Even letters which I
might justly have considered my own pri
vate property, were stowed in the boxes
for the military and political information
they contained, believing they would be
more certain of preservation in them thdh
in my room or privately hid, which I had
little time to think of, and which course
proved to be the best.
In conclusion, I state positively, that
not a letter, muster roll or paper of any
directly in front of the wheel, which passed
over it, crushing it from the instep to the
toes in a terrible manner. The child tum
bled over, shrieking fearfully, and a crowd
of colored people, who were waiting to go
on the excursion to Montgomery, quickly
collected, but, strange to say, no one knew
the boy or where he came from. The oul
cers of the road rendered proper attention
to the little sufferer, who was subsequent
ly carried to the office of Dr. Bulloch,
where his injured foot was attended to.
It is apprehended that amputation will be
necessary, but last night the boy was re
ported doing well.
Thomasville Times: The shipping
of LeConte pears has commenced. Messrs.
Sanford and Vamedochave shipped a few
crates and will have several others soon.
The crop is only about half what it would
have been but for the unfavorable spiring,
and the quantity of pears from Thomas
county will be much smaller than last
year. Mr. Yamedoe, we learn, sold part
or all of his crop at S5 per bushel, deliv
ered in New York. Mr. Sanford refused
to sell at those figures, and is shipping and
taking his chances in the market. If bay-
ers will offer S3 we doubt not that better
prices can be had, but at this price the Le-
Conte pear is by far the best paying in
dustry that we know of. Thomas county
will ship a few other varieties of pears,
but the LeConte will constitute the bulk
of the shipments this year.
No Case.—Savannah Notes: James
Parkerson, John A. J. Rycroft and John
Pitts, of Wilcox county, arrested upon
the charge of conspiracy to defraud Allen
Smith of rights guaranteed by the consti
tution and laws, had a hearing before
United States Commissioner Wadg. The
prosecutor alleged that he wastaicen from
his heme, carried into the woods and
there beaten by the parties named. The
testimony offered tailed to sustain his
.charge, and it was dismissed. Smith,
however, alleged that lie was in fear of
the parties, and that bis life and property
were in danger, whereupon the commis
sioner decided to require the accused to
give bond in tiie sum of $200 each to beep
the peace, in accordance with section 727
of the United States Revised Statutes.
All the parties are from Wilcox comity.

A RASCALLY darkey, near Savannah,
becoming incensed with his old mother

away exclaiming, “Dat boy will he de
death of me yet.”

Tiie Augusta Canal.— Chronicle
and Constitutionals t: Fourteen thousand
horse power continues almost a dead
waste. Manufactories should he erected.
That was the intention when the canal
was enlarged at an expense of eight hun
dred thousand dollars. Then why pro
crastinate? Why permit rank weeds to
grow where a million spindles should
hum ? Why not endeavor to pay the in
terest on the city bonds with the fund
arising from the grand improvement?
Such a result is undoubtedly worth a
trial. Capitalists must he induced to look
our way. There is plenty of money in
the North and in Europe. Can they bet
ter invest it than here ? Our trade issue
will circulate among these money kings.
Every owner of land along the canal
should advertise his possessions.

Mr. Wm. R. Gignilliat,Sr., the success
ful contestant for the Senate from the
second district at the primary election
held oh Saturday last, is a native of Mc
Intosh county, sixty-five years of age. He
is a well educated man, a graduate of
Franklin college. He has been all his
life a planter, however, and has eschewed
politics and public life. His friends had
much difficulty in getting him to come
out. As a consistent member of the Bap
tist church for over forty years, a man of
spotless character, and whose hand has
been always open to the needy, he is uni
versally respected and beloved in McIn
tosh county.
Daiuen Gazette: There was not a vote
cast against R. E. Lester on Saturday.
That'was a compliment of which his
friends arc proud.
Consolatory.—Seaport Appeal: Af
ter all, there Is no great grief in being
.beaten Jiy a hero, a Christian and a states
man, and if the people elect such an one
to administer the affairs of Georgia for the
next two years, we should neither die of
rage nor pine with infelicity.
An Adsiibable Selection—Constitu
tion: The very many friends of Miss
Minnie RutLeiford will lie gratified at
hearing that this accomplished young
lady has been selected to take charge of
the Lucy Cobb institute in Athens, aiid
that shehas accepted the appointment.
The institution will be opened the next
term under her management. Athens’
gain is Atlanta’s loss, a3 Miss Ruthciford,

made herself universally popular with
patrons, teachers and scholars.
We congratulate her upon the appoint

Hall County Statistics.—Gaines
ville Eagle: Population in 1870 10,079.
In 1880,15,367. Number of voters 3,124,
The following facts are also stated: That
there are 13 persons in Hall county whose
average is 04 years, 20 persons whose avi
erage is 89| years and 75 persons whose
average is 84 years. Five and a half per
cent, of the .population are over C6 years,
and I am confident that at least .15 per
cent, are over 50 years old. This longevi
ty speaks well for the Piedmont Belt, for
our county and especially for Gainesville,
for out of a corporation of 2,000, there are
172 persons who are over 60 years old.

Next Saturday each precinct in the county

A meeting was ordered to be held in

The secretary will fully advertise the day
beforehand.
Several communication were received
from ex-cadets in all parts of the country,
who could not be present, hut wrote to
express their hearty sympathy with the
objects of the meeting.
A letter from Dr. Eben Hillyer invited
the association to use its influence to have
the institute located at Rome. He pledged
the people of that city to give their en
couragement and theirmoney to secure the
success of the effort. The letter read like
business. Rome, also, extended an invi
tation to tho association to meet in Rome,
and promised that it should cost its mem
bers nothing to get there or to get away. .
Rome means to have the Georgia mili
tary institute, if it can he had.
The letter of Dr. Hillyer was ordered to

During the latter part of the proceed
ings Dr. B. L. McIntosh, of Earlv, pre

The association returned its thanks to
the citizens of Marietta, and especially to
the ladies, whoso beauty, hospitality and
kindness are so well known to ex-cadets.

of the meeting are requested by the asso
ciation to publish these proceedings.
LaGrange Reporter: Georgia Acad
emy fob the Blind.—Mr. W. D. Wil
liams, president of the Georgia Academy
for the Blind, was in LaGrange part of
yesterday and to-day. His visit to this
part of the State was in the interest of tho
institution over which he presides. He is
on the lookout for blind persons on whom
the benefits of the school may u3 con
ferred. It would be a good work for any
who know of any blind persons in Geor
gia, to call their attention to this institu
tion, which is located at Macon. It is a
State school, and any blind person of suit
able age and proper character may receive
education, at the expense of the State. In
the case of indigent persons, board and
clothing are also furnished.
Not only are the pupils educated in lit
erature and music, but they are taught to
do useful work by which they can earn a
livelihood after they leave the academy,
aud not be a burden on the charity of
others. Mr. George Stone, who was In
LaGrange a few weeks since, selling
brooms of his own make, was trained at
this academy, and there learned to make
brooms, which he is doing by wholesale,
and by which he is not only making a liv
ing but more.
Fine Seasons.—The Augusta News
says:
The heaviest rains since the early spring
have fallen in Augusta within the last
twenty-four hours. Last evening a perfect
deluge descended, and after night again a
lifeavy rain fell. To-day has been wet,
and the probabilities are we shall have
plenty of it before it stops.
Col. Jack.—Americus Recorder: A
rumor reaches us that Col. Jack Brown
has landed at Eastman, and is organizing
for the campaign.
We are not disposed to give credence
to the report, and simply write as wo
heard.
Col. “Jack” failed to dig up the gopher,
or ground hog, for which he strove so hard
several years ago, and we opine he will
find the task equally difficult at present.
The Gubernatorial Struggle in
Sumter.—Americus Recorder: The race
of Tuesday between the Colquitt and fu
sion ticket of Lester and Hardeman, was.
the closest ever held held in this county,
and, according to the population, the cloS'
est of the present campaign in the State.
Two or three votes in a vote of eight hun
dred and sixty-eight determined the con
test, which resulted in the selection of
three Colquitt deltgates and one fusion-
ist.
Some of the fusionists, who felt they
were so near victory, found it hard to ae
knowledge defeat, and served the Col
quitt delegates-elect with notice that they
would take evidence of illegal voting be
fore tiie executive committee. On the
other hand, a large number, perhaps the
larger number, deprecate any movement
of the sort. In all probability the coun
sel of these will prevail, and the matter
put at rest.
Colonel J. A. Billups, of Morgan,

Death from a Lamp.—Enquirer-Sun:
About six weeks ago Mr. LaFayette Tay
lor, who was in the employ of Messrs.
Pollard & Harris, met with a fatal acci
dent. He was just about retiring, and
when in tho act of blowing out the light
the lamp exploded, burning him severely.
'Since that time he has suffered greatly,
but at noon yesterday was relieved by
death. The remains will be carried at 0
o’clock this morning to Mt. Zion, six miles
above the city, for interment.

How to Improve and Perpetuate the
* Irish Potato.
A select committee of scientific agricul
turalists, under the appointment of Par
liament, charged with tha duty of investi
gating that valuable esculent, the potato,
have just made their report.
The London Times, of July 8th, says:
The report consists of forty-two para
graphs. It begins by stating that the
evidence of the scientific witnesses had
clearly established the nature of the po
tato disease, which, according to them,
consists in the growth of a fungus (Pe-
ronaspora infcstans) on or in the plant.
The disease spreads during the summer
by means of spores in seeds, a single fun
gus producing millions of spores. The
almost inconceivable fecundity of the
spores accounts for the rapid spread of
the disease during summer. The scien
tific witnesses concurred in believing that
burning the stalks and getting rid of the
diseased potatoes would be useful. The
necessity for the production of new
varieties was concurred in by
■all the witnesses. The growers agreed
that within their experience many varie
ties of potatoes had disappeared, having
become utterly worn out. Four to. six
years are required to establish a variety,
and then it steadily improved in flavor by
cultivation; hut then, after a certain time,
any comparative immunity from disease
disappears. With good cultivation, a new
variety would not degenerate for twenty
years. The Champion potato was re
markable for its disease-resisting powers,
but it must he expected to succumb in its
turn. In the closing paragraphs of the re
port the committee make various sugges
tions, as already given in the Times. Af
ter stating all the facts gleaned in the in-
qniry, the report goes on:
“Under these circumstances, it would
appear that the search for new varieties
must be undertaken either by the com
bined enterprise of the larger potato grow
ers, working through such societies as the
royal agricultural societies of England
and Ireland and the Highland society, or
by the government. As up to the present
little lias been effected by the former plan,
it would seem to bo time for the govern
ment to lend assistance. Yourcommittee
are of opinion that experimental t.".rrns for
the creation aud establishment of new va
rieties of the potato should be established
in England, Scotland and Ireland. Wheth
er tliese farms should be placed under di
rect government control is a point which
might with advantage be determined dif
ferently in the different countries.
“In Ireland the best plan would probably
be to extend the existing farms of the
agricultural department of the national
board, and to specifically direct the atten
tion of the superintendent of these farms
to researches on the potato disease, and to
the creation, the selection, and establish
ment of new varieties of the potato. Iu
England and Scotland it might be advisa
ble to consult with the leading agricultu
ral societies as to whether, it subsidized,
they would undertake the necessary work,
subject to government inspection and con
trol. Should these societies decline the
task, your committee are distinctly of opin
ion that the government should appoint
in each county a superintendent who
should conduct the necessary experiments,
and who should endeavor to furnish new
and successive disease-resisting varieties
of potatoes. Whether a permanent farm
or farms should be selected for the culti
vation of the new varieties of the potato,
whether arrangements should be entered
into with farmers and private producer
of new varieties, and as to whether land
should bo temporarily hired for the va
rious purposes In the different parts of the
kingdom, are points of detail which might
sateiy be left to the superintendents to de
termine.”
The above will be read with the deep
est interest even iu this country, where the
Irish potato is second to bread only as an
article of food. The Suggestion that any
particular variety seems to exhaust itself
and give out after years of repeated plant
ing, appears reasonable, The fact is cor
roborated also by the uniform experience
of those who have discarded the ordinary
kinds in general use and supplied their
places with the several new varieties
which have been improved and developed
by experiment and careful culture. The
latter are far more productive, mature
sooner, and keep better than tubers
grown from unselected seed. Almost
every year witnesses the introduction of
some new variety which i? the product of
patient investigation aud pains. We be
lieve that fresh seed from a higher lati
tude should be procured every year. The
writer has planted iu the spring, side by
side, the Northern potato and seed raised
at home, and found that the yield of the
former was far more satisfactory.
The Progress of Chattanooga.—
A correspondent of the Nashville Ameri
can says:
Chattanooga has put on the airs of a
city in a remarkable degree within the
past year or two. The new census shows
that we have a population of 13,000, and
people are rapidly coming in. " In 1870
the census gave us . 0,000. Thus popula
tion has douoled within the ten years in
tervening, and lias given us nearly, a
thousand more than the double to com
mence duplicating our present population
during this decade, and I have no doubt
that it will be done. The increase is
most rapid now of any time wjtliin the
history of the city.
The Egyptian Obelisk.
The following is a correct description of
llie obelisk, which, at great risk and ex
pense, lias been transported to New York
and now lies moored in North river, pre
vious to taking its final position in Central
Park:
The pyramidon on the first side has the
following representations: On the right
side is Tliothmes III., represented as a
sphinx, seated on a pilon or pedestal, the
same as lorms the so-called standard, fac
ing to the right. Iu both hands he holds
a jar of wine, and an inscription on the
pedestal calls him “the powerful bull
crowned In the City of Western Thebes,
the son of the Sun, Tahutimes” [Thoth-
mes], and in tiie' area is “makes a gift of
wine.” Before him is the god Ra, Helios,
or the Sun, hawk-headed, wearing a disk,
seated on a throne, holding a dog-lieaded
s'.epterin his right hand and an emblem of
life iu liis left. Ra faces to the left hand.
Above their heads is “Haremakhu [Har-
rnachis, a form of Horus, or tiie sun on the
iiorizonj, the great god, lord of the
heaven,” which is followed by “He [Har-
inachisj gives all life to the good god, the
lord of tho two countries, Mekphepei^ra
[ThothmesIII.].”
Each side of this obelisk is decorated
with three perpendicular lines of byero-
glyphs, the central one on each side being
that of Thotlimes III., who first set up the
obelisk at Heliopolis. The side, lines,
those to the right and left, were added ty
Ramases II., of tho nineteenth dynasty,
the supposed Sesostris, but liow or when
does not appear—probably they were
placed upon it before it was erected, and
the monument may have been left unfin
ished at the death of Tliothmes IU., and
completed long after by his successor, or
the several lines may have been placed on
the monument long after its erection, aud
when upright, by placing a scafi'oliliug
round it on which the masons stood and
worked. “The Horus, the powerful bull,
crowned in Western Thebes, the lord of
the diadems, whose kingdom is a3 exten

Chucker’s Pantaloons.
How far it is expedient to convert
railway carriage into a dressing room is a
question which could he quickly solved in
the negative in continental countries
where guards walk along the footboards
and collect tickets while the train is
motion. But in England a passenger who
likes to change his attire in a first-class
compartment is pretty secure from inter
ruption; at least so thought Mr. Bamaby
Chucker, as he alighted from a hansom
at Paddington aud rushed across the plat
form, holding a railway rug and carpet
bag, which contained a complete change
of raiment—to wit, dress-clothes.
Mr. Chucker had received an invitation
to dino at Windsor with some friends of
influential position, but being a busy man,
lie had not found time to dress at his of
fice in the city, or at his chambers in the
West End. Stepping into the train he
slipped a shilling into the hand of the
guard and said: “Keep me this compart
ment, please, as I want to dress.” “All
right, sir,” answered the guard; and tho
next moment the train started. Mr.
Chucker then unlocked his carpet bag
apd drew out a clean shirt, with other
equipments necessary, to his perfect adorn
ment.
It must not be supposed that he did
this without reluctance, for he was a
great stickler about all the proprieties of
life. He objected to seeing things out of
place. Or doing things out of season. If
he had caught his best friend changing
his pantaloons in a railway carriage he
would have thought meanly of him for
being of disorderly habits, so now he
judged himself with a candid severity for
not having better regulated his own time.
“If an accident occurred,” mused he, as
he removed his coat and waistcoat. “I
wonder what would be thought of me for
being half undressed in a train ?”
This reflection made him redden. He
was a shy, middle-aged man, wTth_ large
red cars aud a fat, florid face. The effort
of pulling off his boots always suffused
his countenance with crimson, and it did
so now, inasmuch that, what with the
color that came from physical exertion,
and that which resulted from a troubled
conscience, Mr. Barnaby Chucker looked
truly distressed. Having removed liis
hoots, he denuded himself of his trousers.
This was a trying moment, for if an acci
dent had happened then. “Why, dear
me,” ejaculated Mr. Chucker, at this stage
of his cogitations, “I—think the train is
stopping.”
The train .va3 stopping in efiect, as
Mr. Chucker might have foreseen that it
would do, since he was not traveling by
express, hut he had been so enwrapped In
his self-upbraiding thoughts that he bad
not even noticed the first slackening of
the engine’s speed. He now found him
self in lhe midst of a very litter of clothes,
and with no time to redress himself be
fore the train stopped. He had to decide
hastily whether he would steam alongside
Ealing platform in his shirt sleeves,,or
minus his pantaloons. He chose wisely
in huddling on his coat, which he but
toned up, while he covered his lower man
with a railway rug. This done, he col
lected as many of his belongings as he
could into his bag, kicked his bools under
a seat, and tried to look dignified. The
train had come to a standstill now, aud a
guard opened the door of the carriage in
which our poor hero was sitting and
cried: “There's room here, sir, for you
and this lady.”
“Hie, guard!” exclaimed Mr. Chucker,
leaning out in horror; “you toid me I
should have this compartment to myself.”
Unfortunately for our modest friend,
the guard to whom he had given the
shilling was not the one appointed to
travel with the train. These little mis
takes often occur, aud lead to unpleasant
conssquences. The present guard said
bluntly: “I can’t give you a compart
ment to yourself unless yon pay for it, sir.
It’s against the rules. Here, madam;
step in, please.”
A lady who looked in very delicate
health got into the carriage, and a gentle
man with her. Mr. Barnaby Chucker
felt ready to swoon. Before he could in
form the guard of his readiness to pay for
a whole compartment sooner than have
his privacy intruded upon, the train was
off again, and Mr. Chucker fell to reflect
ing how he should efiect his change of
carriage at Slough, now that he was in no
fit state to step on a pUtform. The train
in which Le traveled was not bound
straight for Windsor, hut ior Birmingham,
and Mr. Chucker would have to change
at Slough if he wished to dine with his
friends that evening.
A!as! a more urgent difficulty than that
involved in a change of carriages soon
presented itself to him, for no sooner had
the train started than the lady who had
just stepped in began to moan anil shiver,
saying that she felt cold all over. Her
husband sought to quiet her, hut it was all
of no use, for she was really ill. At last
the poor man looked in despair at Mr.
Chucker and said:
“Excuse me for taking a great liberty,
sir; but would yon be so kind as to lend
roy wife your rug? We started in a hur
ry, and forgot to bring one. As it is not
a cold day, perhaps you would not mind
obliging us as far as Slough, where I shall
be able to buy a rug?”
“Eh?” grunted Mr. Chucker, stupefied.
Tho request completely staggered him.
and he could find no words m which to
reply.
“Would you kindly lend this lady your
nig?” repeated the gentleman, rather as
tonished.
“Hoo! ” growled Mr. Chucker, in
voice like a bear’s. It had just occurred
to him that the safest way to get out of
his difficulties would be to sham being
mad. A Frenchman would have quietly
beckoned the gentleman to the other side
of the carriage, and would have explained
the dilemma with a laugh. But English
men are persons full of niceness, aud Mr.
Chucker dared not coniess to a stranger
that he had no trousars on. He repeated
“Hoo 1 * two or three times over, and his
strategy succeeded perfectly, for both liis
fellow-passengers became convinced that
they were traveling with a lunatic.
The lady began to scream. Her nerves
were so unstrung that they could not
stand this extra shock; and that foolish
Mr. Chucker made things worse by tho
fixity with which lie stared at her. The
gentleman armed himself with an um
brella to protect his wife. Mr. Chucker,
entering into the spirit of his part, caught
up his own umbrella and brandished it.
The travelers were in these attitudes of
vigilanco and menace when the train once
more slackened speed, and Hanwell was
readied.
Instantly the gentleman jumped out on
the oil'side of the line, so as not to pass
Mr. Chucker, and helped out his wife,
whose screams had given place to a fit of
shivering. Mr. Cllucker thought himself
well rid of his mess, for the train would
go on again, and ho should be able to
complete his dressing. By way of insur
ing privacy for the remainder of his jour
ney he began by pulling the carriage
blinds down.
Alas! he was not to get off so easily as
lie had antidpated. Already there was a,
commotion on the platform. The hus
band of the fainting lady had explained
matters to the station master; some por
ters and guards had overheard him, and
the rumor circulated tliat there was a lu
natic in the train. Borne passengers, pok
ing their heads out of carriage windows,
protested against trailing in the company
of a man who might commit some mad
act—set the train on fire, throw himself
out, or emit awful noises. The station
master was obliged to pafcify these mur-
murers by striding toward the alleged ma
niacs carriage. The all-unconscious Mr.
Chucker was rudely aroused by the door
being suddenly opened, and a! gruff voice
exclaiming'
“Now, sir, what’s the matter with you?”
“Nothing’s the—the—matter with me,”
stammered Mr. Chucker. “What should
there be?” but, so saying, he hugged his
rug closer to him with a guilty look.
“Would you mind stepping out, sir?”
“Why should 1? My ticket is for Wind
sor.”
“Change here for Windsor, sir,” re
sponded the guard, who was quite con
vinced by this time that ho had a queer
character to deal with.
“TVell, mau, since you put me to it, I’ve
no trousers on,” confessed Mr. Chucker,
lowering his voice. Whereupon the sta
tion master echoed In amazement, “No
trousers!” and the crowd behind caught up
the words, “No trousers!”
“He’s throwd ’em out of the window,’
suggested a porter.
“Perhaps he had none on when he got
into the train,” opined another.
“Had you any trousers on when you
got into train?”, inquired the station
master.
“Of course I had, man. Pve two pairs
with me now. Let me alone, that I may
put one on,” faltered Mr. Chucker, intim
idated and disgusted at the sight of so
many people staring at him.
But while he was speaking some low
churl, seizing a corner of his rug, gave it a
twitch and abruptly exposed Mr. Chuck-
er’s deshabille to view. There was a shout
of mingled laughter aud dismay from the
passengers.
“Out you come,” roared the blushing
station master, in a paroxysm of indigna
tion, and he clutched Mr.'Chucker by the
wrist.
“Well, but—but—let me d-dress first,”
pleaded the victim, as he felt, not only his
arms but his legs in the gra3p of different
hands. He made a short struggle, but
this did not improve his position, for his
resistance was ascribed to a maniacal out
break, and emboldened his aggresors to
drag him out of tho carriage feet fore
most. He troubled out in a heap, and
was then carried across the platform,
kicking and roaring in the sight of a hun
dred pairs of astonished or amused eyes.
“Oh!” exclaimed some reddening young
ladies, as he passed.
“Poor man!” cried some older ones.
“Hie! Fetch the police,” chorused
some of the portera.
Ten minutes later, when Mr. Chucker
had beeD conveyed, under strong escort,
to the station master’s room, and had

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Dear Sirs:—The time is approaching
when the Democratic party in Georgia,
must put in nomination a candidate for
governor. It is of especial importance
m this p.esideutial yc?r, .that the person
selected should poll the entire strength of
that large body of Democrats in northern
Georgia known as independents. While
not agreeing with this class in the pro-
priety of the course they have hitherto
thought it best to pursue, I remember
when the party ncmiuated Mr. Greeley,
I almost bolted the nomination, and
though I finally swallowed the pill I,
like many others, made wry faces at the
dose. Hence, I am not so far without
sin, that I am able to cast the first stone
at my “erring brothers.”
I have said that it was highly import
ant in this presidential year, to poll the
entire Democratic strength in Geor
gia, she being one of the
October States,” A nomination
of Gov. Colquitt dr of any other person
as distasteful to our “Independent” broth
ers, will invite if it does not produce, an
Independent nomination. Our brethren
of the mountains have not forgotten the
active canvass of Gen. Gordon, the friend
and advocate of tho renomination of the
present governor, against their favorite,Fel
ton, and the subsequent unpleasant occur
rences thereto incident, in which the first
female politician of Georgia illustrated
her sex by the trenchant manner with
which she wielded those weapons that
woman is not usually supposed to be
skilled in handling, and although she
crossed swords with one of Georgia’s
mo3t distinguished politicians, the regular
Democracy cannot claim that she was
vanquished by her opponent. If the
chivalry of a Gordon checked, somewhat,
the force of his retort, the noble woman
hood of the wife, who sprang to the de
fense of her husband, drew forth involun
tary plaudits from the lips of many who
have no sympathy with indepeudentism,
But I have digressed. Who would not,
with such an incentive to digression
My object is to urge such a nomination as
will produce that harmony in Georgia’s
gubernatorial election that the nomina
tion of Hancock has produced among th
jarring elements of the New York De
mocracy. Let this principle of harmony
control the nominating convention, and
we can bring about so enthusiastic a State
election as will give such eclat, I believe
the French call it, to the Democratic
cause throughout the country that our
chances in the presidential straggle will
bo greatly strengthened, if not rendered
certain. If this course be adopted, where
is the man who can harmonize all con
flicting opinions ? Permit me to suggest
Judge James L. Hook, of August a, as one
eminently fit to be nominated, if it he de
sired to give practical efiect to the princi
ple suggested. He is a distinguished ad
vocate and lawyer, well known through
out the State, Lis ability aud pop
ularity among all classes being in
ferior alone to the high moral tone
of the man. While he has always
acted with the regular Democracy, his
nomination would be more acceptable to
the adherents of Dr. Felton than that of
any mau in the State outside of their own
organization. Decided in his own politi
cal views, he is tolerant of difierences of

office a ripe experience in the affairs of
State, already gathered, though lie is stili
in the prime of manhood, ability of the

A woman’s beauty is never lost
So long a9 her sweet smile remains.
So long as gleam her teeth like frost,
And her soft lip the ruby stains;
And SOZODONT, with magic power,
Bestows on her this priceless aower.

I am- not surprised to bear of the popu
larity of Swift’s S. Specific at the spriugs
or elsewhere. I know from experience
that it has great merit. I had thought, aa
you know, of going over there this sum
mer, but I am so thoroughly cured that
there is no necessity of my going any
where, or taking any more medicine.
You can with safety recommend it to any
friend or acquaintance who needs it, as it
is a sure cure. 1 oars truly, W.

Of course politics came in for a full
share of attention and discussion. As it
may be of interest to the friends of the
various candidates, I give below the vote
of the gentlemen present giving their
preference for governor. Our own tal
ented and popular Hardeman leads the
van, he having 37, Colquitt 22, Toomb3
20, Gartrell 2, Lester 10, Warner 16, scat
tering G—total 113. I was surprised to
learu" that this county had pronounced
against the latter, her gifted and honored
son. I am assured that the cause is at
tributed to several men of influence
whom Judge Warner had aided pecuni
arily before the war. They repudiated
their obligations and because lie sought to
recover his own, they have tinned against
and smote the friend whose generous na
ture bankrupted himself. But ’twas ever
thus. Allow a man to become your debtor
beyond his power to liquidate, and ten to
one he becomes your bitterest enemy.
We have just had a refreshing 3hower,
the first in many days. The party hero
are all in good health and the best of
spirits. Fuu, frolic and general good
humor abound and the season of 1SS0 at
Chalybeate may be pronounced a success.
Yours, etc., Macon.

A Good Hotel to Stop at.
Hotel accommodations for travelers are
of the greatest importance to persons who
have to move about the country on-busi
ness or pleasure. Just where to go is
what every man wants to know when he
leaves home. The Grand Union Hotel,
opposite the Grand Central depot, New
York city, is a very popular resort, be
cause the attendance there is prompt and
satisfactory, the charges are reasonable
and the menage complete. Persons arriv
ing a or leaving New York city by the
Grand Central depot will find the Grand
Union Hotel very convenient.—N. T.
