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.

Americas has a snake four feet and six inches long. Ox Sunday morning two little girls, daughters of Mr. John Sims in Americus, were thrown from a buggy, and one of them striking against a tree was badly hurt. Allen Shaw, a horse thief, was canglit near Eufaula and carried back to Quit- man for trial. Home is still agitated over the late mil itary encampment. A county correspondent of the Co lumbus Enquirer-Sun says: The Rev. James Rees met with a very sad accident on last Sabbath at his son’s, Mr. E. H. Rees. The old man had occasion to walk out, when he was attacked by two very severe dogs, biting him through the left thumb, tearing the flesh fioai the bone, tearing his ccat oil' and throwing him down in the yard, he having nothing to defend himself with. He was rescued. Wounds painful. Coi-Umbcs Times: Mr. J. T. Johnson, one of the contractors for the Talbotton branch road, is in the city. He reports that the work is progressing very satisfac torily. There are about one hundred and forty or fifty hands now at work on the road. It will he pushed forward until complcied, and already the company are beginning to look arouiul for iron. Mr. James Allen is at work on the Tal- boiton end of the road with a force of thirty-lne or forty hands. He has a con tract for grading half a mile of the road. When completed to No. C, Talbotton will then be as it were, in the suburbs of the city. The same paper says: Yesterday as Mr. Joe Jetrerson and Mrs. Burdine were coming to the city they met with a serious accident. They were coming down a steep rocky hill just iliis side of Mr. Jeffer son’s house, when the holding back strap which was verv carelessly fastened, came loose and the buggy ran upon tiie horse, which frightened him and caused him to run away. Both Mr. Jefferson and Mrs. Burdine were thrown out of the buggy and badly bruised. Dr. Stanford and Dr. Johnson were summoned immediately and gave the par ties medical attention. They report that while their hurts are severe they are not at all seriously injured. The Columbus Guards have voted to attend the grand military meeting in At lanta, October lath. The Chronicle and Constitutionalist says that Augusta will also be represented. A Fi.eet of Vessels Due.—TheJJ- T^at'has' cliaracte^ized'The past few weeks has had a marked effect on tire arrivals at our port. There are a number of sailing vessels due, having been out from the port of clearance far beyond the usual time. All dauger of an ice famine in Savan nah lias been dispelled by the arrival of one cargo. Others also are on the way at sea. Three items from the Athens Watch man: Hox. A. O. Bacon, of Macon, graces the commencement with liis-commanding presence. He is very popular all over the State. . i Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown i3 attending the commencement. He seems to be in tine health and thoroughly in trim to make the Senatorial race interest ing. Our prediction Is Senator Brown will cotnc out first best in that contest. Walter B. Hill, Esq., of Macon, of the class of 1870, will give the history of that class at the reunion to-night. Mr. Hill is one of the most gifted young men among the alumni of the university. Speer and Bell are beginning to make things lively in the ninth district. 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 nected with this school for some time past and her election to the position named at tests the esteem in which site is held by 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. Rev'. J. II. Helsman died at Thom son on Suuday last. His remains were * taken to Crawfordville for interment. 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 public. i- Sanannah News: Yesterday morning about 10:30 o’clock, a colored hoy not more than five years old, met with a terri ble accident, which will;- in alt probabil ity, cause him the loss of one of his teet and leave him maimed tor life.

The Watchman says that during a young tornado in Baxley a few days ago the Methodist church being built was blown down. ' Rome Tribune:. Capt. M. Troutman and son, of Macon, wlU spend the sum mer on their farm up the Oostanaula river. 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. This is the usual ending of all such “outrages” when subjected to the test of th TuE News says: We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Mr. C. Herbst, the popular librarian of the Macon Pub lic Library, who is among the excursion ists to Tybee. A RASCALLY darkey, near Savannah, becoming incensed with his old mother because his coffee was muddy, seized a large knife and almost severed a slice from the old dame’s ear. She went to town, hail the wound dressed, and went away exclaiming, “Dat boy will he de death of me yet.” The Chattahoochee river is now in fine boating order, and the steamboats are making regular trips. 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. A wniTEis in the Chronicleand Consti tutionalist, proposes the name of Hon. J. C. C. Black as a candidate for Congress against Mr. Stephens. Mr. Black is Democrat. MelNTOsn County Nomination.— Our friend R. W. Grubb. ,u * Cm***— ' *->"■» announced as a candi date for legislative honors. If elected he will reflect honor upon his constituents. Of the Senatorial nominee the Gazette says: 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, in her connection with the schools ot the latter city, gave entire satisfaction and made herself universally popular with patrons, teachers and scholars. We congratulate her upon the appoint ment and wish her the greatest success in her new enterprise. The August a gas company Jia3 declared a dividend of one dollar per share. 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. Respectfully, Phil R. Simmons Tiie Eagle says: It’s funny to notice how some of the so-called Independents are trying to blarney. ex-Gavemor Brown.

Thomas Hardeman deliv ered here to-day to a large assembly of citizens a very eloquent and patriotic ad dress. He deserves well of the people of Georgia, and he would make a good gov ernor. The Thoinaston brass band fur nished'excellent music for the occasion. Next Saturday each precinct in the county will select five delegates to assemble here the following Monday to elect delegates to the convention which is to meet in At lanta on the. 4th of August. The county seems to be equally divided between Har deman and Colquitt, and it is doubtful which Candidate will receive the votes fromUpson. : A New Bishop.—Constitution.' We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday Bishop W. T. Dickerson, of New York, who at the last general conference of the A. M. E. Church was appointed to preside over the States of South - Carolina and Georgia. Bishop Dickerson was on his way to New York for the purpose of get ting his family and then returning to Co lumbia, South Carolina, where he will locate and make his permanent home. Bishop Dickerson has been so Atlanta for ten days past, the guest of Rev. R. A. Hall, pastor of the Y/lieat street A. M. E. church. ’ 1 " .i >: i , Wilt. Stick to the Independents.

Certainly, the colored people feel more, kindly to ward Colquitt than for any other person mentioned for his position; but then, let it hot be understood that they will support him whether or. not. Should he be the regular and some other man the iqdepeu- doiit, they will certainly, in that event, support the independent.

McClatcliey, W. I. Clarke and It. A. Bacon. A meeting was ordered to be held in Atlanta during the fair week in October. 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 be made a part of the proceedings. During the latter part of the proceed ings Dr. B. L. McIntosh, of Earlv, pre sided. 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. All newspapers friendly to the purposes 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, is spoken of as a probable opponent of Emory Speer for Congress in the ninth. One of the census enumerators in Han cock county, Georgia, came across a fam ily in which there had been thirteen chil dren born at six births—twins five times and triplets once. Augusta Netcs: Hon.

Uieiv use, ap,d In one moiffu we were all web', aud hone of us have been sick *day since; and I-wwnt to 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 sive as the Sun’s In heaven, Turn, tho lord of Heliopolis, the sun of liis race, lie has caused him to be born. Tahutimes (Thotmes IH.)

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.

Colquitt-are'distasteful tS 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 opinon, and does not think it necessary in order to advance the caXise he believes to be right to denounce those holding ad verse opinions. As governor, he would bring to the discharge of the duties of the office a ripe experience in the affairs of State, already gathered, though lie is stili in the prime of manhood, ability of the highest order, an integrity whose fair fame has never been sullied by the slight est breath of suspicion, a devotedness to the conscientious discharge of duty sel dom equalled, never surpassed, all crowned by an exemplar)* Christian life that guides and directs his every action. vjfoLASKl.
