I Surprise at the Election. In an article copied from tlie Savannah Netcs into this paper yesterday, it is said: The returns so far received from the gubernatorial election held yesterday, are more gr atifying than wm ever anticipated by the most sanguine friend of Governor Colquitt. Now the TEr.EGiLA.ru is not a “san guine friend of Governor Colquitt,” and perhaps for that reason is not a bit sur prised at the returns, only on the single point of the meagrencss of the total tote ! From the time of that wretched collapse of the State convention up to the day the votes were polled, the public need not be informed that the Telegrafh and hlESSEXGEBhas held and expressed but one voice as to what would be tbe result. Wo have declared often and all tho time that Colquitt would beat Norwood “from forty to sixty thousand totes” Our faith shrunk a little when it began to he seen that only about half the vote of Georgia was going to be polled; but it seems the prediction has been verified in spite of that fact. Can any one tell us wbat the majority for Colquitt would have been had the usual vote been cast? These votes, if polled, would have all or nearly all con tributed to swell his majority. They would have been cast not for the man, bnt on the principle of Democratic harmony and concentration. In the absence of an acknowledged common Democratic centre they would have been cast for him as an approximation to it, and would have inadc his majority something stupendous. Thus, not only from the vote as cast, but perhaps even more from the votes withheld, we may learn the judgment of the people as to the necessity of preserv ing Democratic harmony and usage in Georgia. It was in reliance upon the strength and sincerity of this attachment ofGeorgia to Democratic unity, and the necessity of maintaining it,that we found ed the conviction expressed directiy after the Atlanta rupture, that Colquitt would be elected by forty to sixty thousand ma jority. The canvass opened with great violence, but it never got below the mere surface. The mass of the Democratic vote of Geor gia looked on in silent disgust with tlie ill- timed schism, and, as we see now, a largo proportion refused to vote at all. The people of this State, if we understand them, are pre-eminently calm, reflective and just. The cities ardlvwnswercmore or less thrown off their poise by the ex travagant calculations, hopes and delu sions of politicians, who represented it as a grand struggle on both sides, when, as we may wellsay,thercprcsentativemasses of Georgia were never moved except with disapprobation. A man who mixes among our people with a view to impress himself upon them, only brings himself harm. He who would know wliat the people think must be still and hear them talk. Thus it was, that the mere clatter of partisans got into the tables of estimated majorities on both sides, and was the foundation of all the : delusion and surprise which tire Savannah News recognizes in its article above allu ded to. There was, in fact, nothing in this so- called great controversy, and wo hope hereafter tbe greatest caution will be ta ken to obtain a fair representation of Democrats opinion in all future conven tions of the people. It would be a far better practice, in our opinion, for candi dates for nomination to forbear prelimi nary canvasses of the people. The people should’ be presumed to be wise cneugh to make good and jnst nominations without these personal struggles to stock conven tions beforehand. Bat if so mneb as this be impracticable and every State conven tion must be preceded by a popular can vass for a nomination, then let due weight be given to the verdict. The Demo cratic theory is, in essence, the rule of the majority, and there never was and never will be an election anywhere satisfactory to all concerned, or just in their estima tion. The primary movements should all be deliberate and transparently fair, and the decrees of the people should be en trusted to men of ability and discretion^ To conclude, we say the blunders and miseries and mortifications of this cam paign should teach us all to be more care ful, conciliatory and unselfish in future, and to bend every effort to re-establish the Georgia Democracy on the broad foundations of the public will, public and private justice, and a liberal toleration. Dies Hard. We regret that our respected contempo rary, tho Atlanta Post-Appeal, cannot ac cept the situation and does not apparently even concede the fact, that General Col quitt has been fairly and overwhelmingly re-elected. On the contrary, he intimates that the Governor has made “a most igno ble failure, if bis main object in asking a re-election was to have a ‘vindication.’ ” The unhappy Norwood organ even perpe trates the following splenetic paragraph, which is enough to provoke a smile from tho most austere anchorite: Elected, Governor Colquitt undoubted ly is, as the count stands; but “vindica tion” still eludes his eager grasp and is as far beyond his reach as ever. A majority of votes, composed mainly of illegal bal lots, and the ballots of poor, deluded ne groes, designing speculators and simple- minded people who have been misled through the religious and emotional side of their natures, is not such a majority as will afford any gratification or satisfac tion to a sensitive man who is demanding a “vindication.” Now, if this sounding deliverance and blowing off of steam makes our disgrun tled contemporary feel any better, let him continue the process until his choler sub sides and he recovers from what i3 Un doubtedly an attack of the worst kind of “yalier janders.” In the name of all that is reasonable, could any man ask for a bigger majority on any given proposition than Governor Colquitt has received ? Why, an analysis of the vote will show that three-fourths of the counties that sent minority delegates to the State convention in their primary • elections have gone back on their repre sentatives, and given heavy majorities for Colquitt. And, whereas the re cord of the convention proved that nearly two-thirds of the people had in the preliminary canvass indorsed our patriotic Governor, the tox populi as an nounccd at the polls declares in thunder tones that three-fourths of his constitu ents have set tbe seal of their condemna tion upon the slanderous charges which bad beeu fulminated against their chief magistrate. And ot this number, even in the light vote that was cast on Wednesday, at the lowest calculation no less a major ity than thirty thousand qf the white citi zens of Georgia were registered in favor rf Governor Colquitt. We are sorry that the Post-Appeal an nounces its intention to keep op tbe fight, I despite the Waterloo defeat that has be- I fallen tbe supporters of tbe minority can didate. I The gallant Kentucky editor, however, like Don Quixote, will be charging wind mills in lieu of real enemies, and should take warning from the ludicrous history of the Knight of La Mancha. lie says: “Incompetency and corruption will receive no quarter at our hands.” That is right and we will lock shields with him in that contest. But groundless charges and empty platitudes amount to nothing. The people by their solemn verdict have vindi cated Gov. Colquitt, and he stands forth, paving passed through the furnace of de traction heated seven times hotter, 'un harmed, and without even the smell of fire upon his garments. It may be a mat- tor of policy for oar Atlanta contemporary to continue this agitation, which is so det rimental to the true interests of the Dem ocratic party, but this is a free country and chacon a son gout. So far as we are concerned, he will have the field all to himself. Political Morals. If any man of ordinary capacity Will take a carefal survey of the political situation in Georgia, for the past two months, and not be utterly digusted with the actions of the average politician, we will be compelled to write him down ei ther a consummate fool or a knave. The demoralizing effect of such a canvass can not be estimated nor even realized in one decade, if the baneful influence is ever eradicated. The wholesale slanders, the willful misrepresentations, the outrageous falsehoods, not only damaged the credu lous listener, but has robbed the speaker or writer of moral power, seared his conscience, and benumbed every sensi bility of honor. After tbe first declara tion he felt some compunctions of con science, but often repeating the falsehood, he loses all shame and asserts it with a boldness that makes the unwary believe the story true. And to-day- he has more self-conceit than self-respect. We pity the man who comes out of such a canvass and says he has nothing to regret or take back. He must be lost to all sense of hbnesty who can boast of such a recoid. The air is now full of rumors of the use of money to secure position, not only in this State, but all over the country. Money ha3 become the main factor in controlling all elections, from the presi dent to the justice of the peace. The ju dicious use of money is necessary, we are told, to secure any political appointment in this boasted land of freedom of ours. Millions are now spent to carry the elec tions in Ohio and Indiana, not for any special advantage that would accrue to either of those commonwealths, but for the moral influence that victory would have on the presidential struggle. Men aps bartering away their' manhood and selling every honest conviction of right for gold. Political bribery is becoming a national characteristic and political assess, nient becoming a national necessity. This evil is entering into the inner temple of our government, and ruin and disgrace will inevitably overtake us. . The thoughtful student of history can not but regard the signs of the times as evil, and only evil; and if such transac tions are continued, decay and death will be the certain result. In the period of the decay of P.ome the emperor issued money in large amounts in bribes, and all reader? of history know how this magnificent fabric crumbled beneath the touch of this destroying eviJ. One of the most alarm ing features of our condition is the misrep resentation of men and measures, and the deadness and apathy of conscience in the whole field of politics. .■ ,m The Uses op Adversity.—The Bos ton Herald gives this solid advice to its Republican friends, which Democrats would do well to put in their pipes and smoke: Some time ago we endeavored to pre pare the Republican mind to endure pbil- osophicylly tho defeat which must some time come to the party. We pointed out some of the advantages that would accrue from adversity, and indicated some of the good which it would be able to do a3 a minority party. Among other things of a consolatory nature, we said that disaster would knit the party more closely togeth er, and that nothing would so tend to its permanent harmony and peace as a good sound thrashing in November, this med icine of philosophy was not pleasant to those whom it was designed to help. Bat we cannot withhold tlie truth, and we have no time to sugar-coat it. Medicine is designed to alleviate or to cure—not primarily to taste good. The truths which we deduced from an hypothetical case are now being illustrated id the actual state of affairs. The set back in Maine and the troublesome out look at the West have hushed the bicker ings and consolidated the party 5 : Senator Colliding and his old-time antagonist, Carl Schurz, join hands to help save Ohio. Secretary Sherman concludes not to be the "hero of one speech, but returns to the stump. The head of the clan Cameron makes a pilgrimage to Mentor, and Grant and Conklmg -join in paying respects to the man who broke their phal anx at Chicago. Mr. Evarts is summoued t* the stump in New York, and Parsou Beecher undertakes a missionary tour to Indiana. Money flows in more freely, and the faithful and the lukewarm alike begin to act on Gen. Grant’s motto, “It will not do to be beaten now.” We told you there were worse things than adver sity. Off fob the Celestial Kingdom. —Rev. K. H. McLain, who was in atten dance at the district conference in East Macon, during July last, was married on the Ctli inst., at Smithville, to Miss Alma Leonard. • They will leave in a few weeks for China, where they go as missionaries, in behalf of the M. E. Church South. We wish them every happiness in their great undertaking. - Take Him Off.—The Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, is huffy at the suggestion of taking Garfield off the ticket and putting Grant’s name on it. It is unnecessary trouble, ■ gentlemen. Just wait a few weeks and Gen. Hancock will lake him T. — All Satisfied.—iVell the election is oyer, and of course everybody voted right —for were they not thoroughly taught by Moses and other prophets and apostles what to do.’ r Prince Napoleon’s Bootmaker. A diverting story, humorously illustra tive of Prince Jerome Bonaparte’s prover bial thriftiness, has recently gone the round of the Parisian newspapers. Itap- ! pears that during the latter part of his 1 cousin’s reiguihe Prince became dissatis fied with his bootmaker, and formaljy withdrew his custom from that artist, who continued, nevertheless, to ornament the front of his shop with the attractive in scription : “Purveyor to his Imperial Highness the Prince Napoleon.” Notic ing this delusive announcement one as he drove past tbe shop, Prince Jerome sent a member of his household to the bootmaker with positive orders that the inscription should bo forthwith removed As, however, be subsequently found that his commands had been disregarded, he took legal proceedings against the boot maker lor unlawful and mendacious ad vertisement ot his (the Prince’s) patron age. The defendant’s counsel, in the course of his pleadings, endeavored in the follow ing ingenious manner to show cause why his client should not be compelled to with draw the offending inscription, arguing that such a decision on the part of. the court would infallibly result in serious prejudice and loss to the hoot-maker. “For,” he observed, “hitherto passers-by whose attention was attracted by the an nouncement in question stopped, entered the shop, and bought boots freely of my client. And why did they so? Because they had already said to themselves: •Prince Napoleon’s bootmaker! That must be a good workman; and an uncom monly cheap one into the bargain. We will give him a trial.’ If you force him to remove his inscription, the peripatetic public will certainly infer that he must have raised his prices, and will hurry past his shop with averted eyes.” The boot maker, it need scarely be added, wa3 cast, but one cannot help regretting that so humorous a plea should have been dis allowed by a French tribunal.—London Telegraph. ' Heading of dogs.—The question has been sometimes raised, “Do dogs under stand remarks made about them in con versation?” I think that some, at least, certainly do. I had once an English ter rier, called 1‘Frisk,” whoSe eye was acci dentally injured. I remarked to my brother that I intended to call in tlie vet erinary surgeon. The dog, which was ly ing before the fire, shortly after got up and left the room. The surgeon arrived, but nowhere could his canine patient be found. I called repeatedly without avail, and at last, after a feng search, I found him liid under one of the sofas; and even then he had to he carried to the surgeon, for whom he showed every mark of dis like, and would scarcely allow himself to be touched. A friend of mine has two small English terriers. Ho is in the habit of washing them now and then, and they much dis like the operation. If, on the appointed morning, he happens to make the most casual remaik with reference to his inten tions, his dogs disappear for the rest of the day. I knew a dog which had rather an usual method of frightening beggars. If its master saw a disreputable-looking man coming in at tho gate, he would say, “Tiff, go and make a face at that man.” Instantly ‘TifT would dash off, and on coming within a few yards of tho beggar, would throw himself down at full length, turn up Ills lips so as to show his teeth, and roll up the whites of his eyes. It is needless to say that this exhibition had always the desired effect. His master al ways’ used him for frightening tho pigs when crying for their dinner; he assured me that a glimpse of ‘Tiff’s’ face was al ways quite sufficient for that purpose. Some Esquimaux dogs that liad gone out with a party of wood-choppers from tho town of Placentia, Newfoundland, re turned the second morning without tlie men. Meanwhile there had been a terri ble snow storm. By their whining and yelping the dogs alarmed the. family and neighbors, and by their intelligent move ments, induced four young fishermen to volunteer to follow them. After a labo rious journey through-the drifts, thej’ came upon four dogs yelping mournfully and digging the snow with their paws. After two hours’ worlrwith snow shovels, the men found the father and three sons who had perished inthe storm. . Tongues.—Nothing but the proboscis of an elephant compares in muscular flex ibility with the tongue. It varies in length and size in reptiles, birds and mammalia, according to the peculiar or ganic circumstances of each. A giraffe’s tongue lia3 the functions of a finger. It is hooked over a high branch, its strength being equal to breaking oil large, strong branches of trees, from which the tender leaves are then stripped. An ant-bear’s tongue is long and round, like a whip lash. The animal tears open dry clay walls of ant hills, thrusts in its tongue, whiebsweeps around the apartments, and by its adhesive saliva brings a yard of ants at a swoop. The mechanism by which it is protruded so far is both complicated and beautiful. A dog’s tongue, in lapping water, take3 a form by mere act of volition that cannot be imitated by any ingenious mechani cian. The human tongue, in the articu lation of language, surpasses in variety of motion the wildest imaginations of a poet. Even in swallowing its office is so extra ordinary that physiologists cannot ex plain tho phenomena of deglutition with out employing the aid of several sciences. How a Husband was Lost.—When the late Lafayette S. Foster was a young and rising lawyer, he wooed and was en gaged to a young lady whose family en joyed a larger social prominence than his own. Tho wedding day had been fixed and the couple were talking over tho prospective tour, as a part of which young Foster proposed that they should spend a tew days with his parents, who resided ia a town some distance away. The lady rather reluctantly consented, but said: “I go with you this time, but in future you must not expect my visits to your parents to be very frequent. You must remem ber that our associations have been very different.” Surprised and shocked by this cold blooded depreciation of the father and mother whom he loved (rad honored, the young man paced tlie floor the sport of seething and conflicting emotions. Fin ally, taking his hat, he turned to the young Jady and said: “I am glad I have found you out in time; you may go to the divil.” The rebuke might not have beeu choice in style, but it was earnest in spir it. Thenceforth their ways lay apart and sfie was not the gainer. j mirable story-teller “Puss in Boots” has | become an example of the power of work, industry and savoir-faire.—Galignani. The Amiable Philippe. An Englishman arrived at Paris some IN THE AUSTRIAN ALPS. Schloss Tkutasch, Klagenfurt, Austria, August 12, 1880.—Last sum mer I had the satisfaction to discover a days before the revolution of July, 1830. gummer retreat in tbe Apennines, near “I am smprised,” said a politician to a heavy property owner, “that you don’t run for some office.” “Well, you see, •somebody has to do the taxpaying.” Leabn a Tbade.—One man with a trade is worth a thousand without one. The hosts of young men in every large city who apply foremployment and fail to get it for the reason that they cannot truth fully affirm that they are educated or espec ially fitted for any particular business, con stitute a potent argument in favor of reform. Under the apprentice system, we should have fewer ignorant mechanics and. in competent business men. A trade is ort une in itself. Famous Men and Cats.—Our domes tic favorites—cats—were not highly thought of in the middle ages. They were then looked on as Satanic agents and were burnt alive. In Paris every St. John’s day a number of tbe abhorred ani mals were heaped up in baskets and bags in (lie Place do Grove, to afford an auto- da-fe, the Sovereign himself setting fire to the pile. This practice continued for a long time, the last monarch who offi ciated in this manner being Louis XlV. Tlie persecutors of the feline race were, no doubt, ignorant of the fact that cats had been the object of superstitious ven eration in early times. In Egypt, for in stance, the cat wa3 deified, as the patron of liberty, and a similar respect was shown it throughout nearly the whole ot tho East. The Turks still regafal “Tabby” as tlie “cleanest” of animals; Mahomet himself, indeed,having had a great liking for cats, it is only natural that all good Mussulmans should profess the same affcc- tibn. It is not in the East alone, however, that the feline tribe have managed to acquire a secure and recognized position in soci ety. Many great men have bad an inor dinate fondness for cats. Richelieu’s spe cial favorite was a splendid Angora, his furry confidant’s usual resting-place being bis Eminence’s table, amongst State doc uments, books, etc. Montaigne used to obtain relaxation by piaying with his cat. Colbert rearqd half a dozen cate in his private study, and taught them, after a lengthy display of patience, to perform all sorts of tricks. Fontenelle was very fond of cats, and used to place a particular old “Tom” in an ann-chair and deliver an oration before him. We must not forget, too, that felts catus supplied Perrault with one of the most attractive subjects of his 1 stories, and that under the pea of this ad- He very eagerly sought to inspect tlie in terior court of the Palais Royal, where Prince Louis Philippe of Orleans; was receiving deputations that came to bim from all parts of the country, villagers with the Mayor and drummer at their head, brave fellows well furnished with addresses, and often excited by the fatig ues of the road and often the heat of the day.

Vive la Charte!” and tlie multitude cried out the same. A window opened over a balcony, tbe Prince appeared, humbly saluted the ctowd, and retired. VAb, I am very glad indeed,” said the Englishman, “but £ have heard some say that one might see him with the tricolored flag, and surrounded by bis family.” “That is very easy,” said the other; “give me some sous, and ho will come fiprth,” i “Indeed! Here are some with great pleasure,” said the Englishman, handing a franc to his neighbor. Immediately a voice raised the couplet, which a thousand ypices immediately '‘Soldier with the tricolor flag, Who from Orleans bearest it,” etc. And the couplet did not cease to be heard before the Prince, surrounded by his fam ily and holding the three-colored flag came forth to salute the crowd. There wa3 a silence tor a short time. Then the complaisant neighbor, turning toward the ear of the Englishman, said: “Now shall I make him sing? As it is rather a difficult matter, you will have to give me ten francs.” “I will do so willingly,” said the En glishman, assured by the success of the former engagements. Tliep the man witli his ten francs, ex erted himself and shouted with others around him so eagerly and lustily, “Vive laRoi! Vive la Charte! la Marseillaise!” that at the end of twenty minutes Louis Philippe presented himself again before a la>-ge crowd cxulliug with impatience and joy. The Marseillaise was lustily raised by the crowd. The new King was about to retire from the balcony, but stopped in the midst of the applause, and sang with the people, making time with his feet. The story relates that the King exhibi tor addressed the Englishman, and said to him: “Now if you will give me one hundred francs lie shall dance.” But tlie other, thinking the show had gone far enough, went away. The Coal Tbade. — llradstreet, of September 29, remarks: Whon the Sep tember advance in circular rates for an thracite coal was announced by the min ing, companies, the prudence of the step was questioned in these columns, on tho ground that the existing and prospective condition of the market failed to justify an upward movement. Four weeks of full time at the mines has seemingly brought the operatives to the same opinion, the Schuylkill Exchange having found it nec essary to order a suspension of the pro duction for the first five working days of the coming moBth. Stripped of its formal phraseology, this announcement really means that high rates have restricted tuo demand, that tho production lias over burdened the market, and that it is ncc • essarytotake the unprecedented course of entirely suspending the output for a week in what should be the busiest month of the year, in order to stave off a probable demoralization of the trade. A week ago it looked a3 though the interest had inhaled some vitality, but the recov ery was short-lived, and it is doubtful whether the panacea of restriction will prove as effective a3 tho operators antici pate. The fact cannot be too often reit erated, that private consumers will not buy, and cannot be made to buy, so long as prices are simply exorbitant. Tlie operators are wqll aware of this, yet they cling tenaciouslylo the idea that they can maintain their position by so reducing stocks as to enable them to obtain what ever figure they may see fit to impose. Unless, however, the present outlook is deceptive, a reduction in rates is bound to ensue before the close of the year. It may be conceded by the operators, or— and what is most likely—it will bo forced on them by a break in the market and its usual demoralizing results. Men of Business.—Rare almost as rreat poets—rarer, perhaps, than verita ble saints and martyrs—are consummate men of business. A nafi, to be excellent in this way, must not only be variously gifted, but liis gifts should be nicely pro portioned to one another. He must have, In a high degree, that virtue which men have always found the least pleasant of virtues—prudence. His prudence, how ever, will not be merely of a cautious and quiescent order, but that which, being ev er actively engaged, 13 more filly called discretion than prudence. Such a man must have an almost love of details, blended, (and this is a rare combination) with a high power of im agination, enabling him to look along ex tended lines of possible action, and put these details in their right places. He re quires a great knowledge of character, with that exquisite tact which feels un erringly the right moment when to act. A discreet rapidity must pervade all the movements ot his thought and action. He must be singularly free from’ vanity- and is generally found to bo an enthusi ast, who has the heart to conceal enthusi, asm. ’ The washerwomen of Holland and Bel gium, so proverbially clean, and who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax for washing powder instead of soda in the proportion of one large handful of borax-powder to about ten gal lons of boiling water; they save in soap nearly one-half. All of the large wash ing establishments adopt the same mode, For laces, cambrics, etc., an extra quantity of the powder is used, and for crinolines (requiring to be made stiff) a strong solu tion is necessary.

How was Wesley .enabled to accom plish the vast amount of work of whicli h|s journals, journeys, sermons and pub lished volumes give evidence?

A revelation are his words to tlie Bishop of London 174“ : “Dr. Chcyno advised me to leave off meat aad wine, and since ,1 have taken bis ad vice I have been free—blessed be God— from all bodily disorders.” Bishop Uhatabd, ot Indianapolis, has suspended from church ceremonies for two months the refractory members of the Apcicnt Order of Hibernians who disre garded his pastoral in allowing dancing at a picnic. The bishop says: “Catholics are not forbidden to enjoy themselves by dancing, if they wish. That is left to tbeir consciences. Catholic societies, how ever, having fc religious character from tbeir very organization, are so forbidden; apd such prohibition is clearly within the range of ecclesiastical authority, to which they in a special manner subjected them selves when formed.” —Ask for Silver Spray Cologne and take no other. bliBU province O. uaiimuw, u, v. the Tyiol, a locality little known to Eu ropean tourists, although, as I find on trial, well worthy their attention. It has only been a few months that it could be easily reached from Italy, by the extension of the railway on its northeastern frontier from Udine to Villack and Klagenfurt, re ducing the journey to nine hours from Venice, or seventeen from Flor ence direct. From Venice to Udine tbe rail runs through a rich, fiat country, passing the towns of Corrcgliano and Pordenone, - each, as is also Udine, distinguished chiefly as being the birth place of the artist who now bears its name in addition to his own hapt’smal desig nation. Corria, Paris, and Giovanni form a trio of painters of the best period of Venetian and Roman schools which has conferred more distinction on this region tkaasreJThingclse in its history. Leav ing Udine, the road winds northerly, grad ually ascending the Alps until it reaches Pontafeh the boundary between Italy and Austria, affording nothing remarkable as to scenery for Italy. Descending the northern slope, the landscape changes its character altogether, as does the architec ture, tvpes ot population and general as pect of tilings. The contrast between the two countries produced by this narrow intervening range of mountains is-very striking. There is redundant natural beauty, but entirely different from tbe Italian landscape. One step, as it were, takes tlie traveler direct from smiling, grafious vineyards, bright skies and gayly- colored villas into glum northern forests of pine, fir, and oat, with densely green pastures and fields of grain, valleys tossed and broken into bil lowy shape's by contending hills and plains, witli Alpine backgrounds of sterile peaks and snow-clad summits. The moist atmosphere, like tlie scenery, is of heavier quality than the southern. Tem pered as it is by the sweet scents of the numerous clover pastures, tho fragrance of the wild flowers, tlie pine and other balsamic trees, it is very pure and whole some to breathe, bat at first too great a tonic, for it seems to paralize slightly tbe action of the lungs and limbs; to weigh them down and depress them, instead of stimulating to greater activity. But the system soon begins to accustom itself to tbe new climatic conditions, and to grow stronger under their life-inipaiting proper ties. Tho powers of physical resistance and assimilation strengthen under their new duties and regimen, and it is easy to perceive how a northern constitution, en feebled in tone by a prolonged residence in the more etlierialized atmosphere of Italy, can be restored to its normal vigor by a plunge into the heavier mountain air cf Carinthia, after the collapsing ef fects of the first shock are over. Klagenfurt is the official capital of the province; a well built town of about 20,- 000 inhabitants, at the eastern extremity of a long, narrow lake, along the villa- lined shores of which tho railway passes, and is remarkable for nothing except its humdrum well-being and somnolence. Al though it has several comfortable hotels, a visitor would not wish to summer here, but to find quarters in one of the numer ous villas or castles whtch overlook the town and lake and enjoy an extensive panoramic view of tlie long serrated ridges of the Alps, beginning with the dol omite peaks of the far-away Tyrol, and extending eastward into Styria. The en virons of Klagenfurt are uncommonly pic turesque and lovely. Thcv fertile, cleanly-cultivated, with park-like landscape, no fences, ditches, or hedge?, and abounding in the gustatory necessa ries of life; excellent milk, cheese and but ter; the best of all meats and vegetables; superior grain of all kinds, venison, game, mountain trout and other fish; wild ber ries and fruit, so that, unlike the scanty larder and coarse diet of the Tyrol, the fare here is va ried, wholesome and exceedingly good in quality, with Austrian, not German cooks, to make it palatable to Anglo-Saxon taste. Better beef, mutton and veal are seldom to be had. Indeed, in profusion, cheap ness and quality of provisions of all kinds to bo found in a mountain region, Klag- cnfuit is exceptionally noteworthy, witli possibilities of excursions, gentle to se vere, to suit every grade of Alpine club and even the invalid’s powers, and love of variety in landscape, pitched in a ^highly picturesque key, with tempting induce ments to the angler and hunter added. As for the country population, it seems to be a stolidly molded race, very blonde in type, and extremely sunburned, good- natured, and civil; withal so kind to ani mals, that if you wander in the fields where they are, the fowls, sheep, pigs, goats, and even the cattle and horses fol low you about and run their noses into vour hands, evidently expecting to find some palatable morsel there, some times to the alarm of those fair strangers who do not ap preciate their sociality. Indeed, two of tho iadie3 of our party, in crossing a pas ture, were followed by a horse, which so alarmed them that they ran, and ho fol lowed at a sharp pace, iittie to their satis faction, not comprehending his intentions. Happening to fall in their fright, the flowers they had gathered were strewn about. The animal immediately stopped, and, with great pleasure, began to eat them, without molesting the ladies, which uncomplimentary proceeding explained the cause of bis attentions. ludeed, the horses are remarkably large and good con ditioned, evidently humanely treated by the peasants, and with the brnte popula tion in general, put quite on a par with themselves in tbeir living, olten inhabit ing the same dwelling. Their tameness may be shocking at times to easily excit ed nerves, but it is very creditable to tbe parties most interested They are not handsome; quite the re verse; both peasants and piss,, but no Irish or Virginia ham beats-'nrt Klagen furt in delicate flavor or tender quhlUy, owing, perhaps, to the swine having the run of the fields and*forests, guarded by infants of either sex, who have little to distinguish 1 -them -from their four-footed charges except their going on two feet. And yet every boy and girl is obliged to attend school, and are fined if they fail. Godliness mpy be taught, for they are as civil in their way as dirt, bnt cleanliness and sanitary rules plainly are not much preached. Nevertheless, their condition now is vastly superior to what it was a century ago, when they were wretched serfs, almost on tbe fooling of our negro slaves, and each chateau and castle kept an assortment of domestic instruments of torture to apply to them, according to tlie whims amt temper of their lords. The museum at Klagenfurt shows what cruel things these were, and the almost servile deportment of . the peasants still gives evidence of their former depressed condition. Changes are slow in this region. The division of the country population into ■ two distinct classes, the rich landed proprietors and nobles and tlie common laboring or peas ant class, is veiy marked, not only by manners, but by habitation. There exist the two extremes of palatial villa or mod ernized feudal castle and the low, steep- roofed wooden or stone unrornantie cot tages, mostly of one pattern, of tho field and forest toilers. A numerous thrifty middle class has yet to grow up with crav ings for a superior style of living to their ancestors. Aristocracy is the social rule aud democracy, as we understand it, au unknown term. Yet with all this the country is rich, and the peo ple apparently contented. Their silence at work and games, after experiencing the noisy loquacity and excitability of the Italian peasants in similar circumstances, is phenomenally mournful and almost op pressive. They move like automatons, and if they do enjoy existence, it would I appear to be in a serious, dismal, proealc baps, by the presence of strangers. Com ing from Italy, the race as a whole strikes the eye as specially homely and heavy, but I doubt not it is a physical improve ment on tbe average German man and woman of similar class. Four centuries ago the Turks coveted tho fat pas tures and lordly hills of Carinthia, and swooped down on this plain, carrying off a3 slaves men, women, and children, leaving desolation everywhere they went, until the knights and nobles, helped by the Emperor Maximilian of Austria, came upon them at Villack, in 1492, incumbered by their spoil, and in a sanguinrry battle killed 10,000, took .7,000 prisoners, freed their captives, and gave the Mussulman m&ruders such a taste of Christian chivalry that they never ven tured to repeat their visit. If they had been the conquerers, Italy would have been the next 1 country to hate suffered, and not unlikely the crescent would have supplanted the cross on St. Peter’s for a time. Villack is so healthy that, it i3 reported, months pass sometimes without a death. But the healthiest of all spots for a sum mer sojourn, I should judge to be the Schloss or Castle Teutascli, five miles from Klagenfurt, where lam now staying. As it has a ghost chamber, a legendary death penalty hanging over Us comple tion, an amusing gallery of old masters, ahd other characteristics of old time aris tocratic life, LacoOn faihions, now strug gling and’strangling in the embraces of modern existence, 1 shall devote a separate letter to its descr iption as a specimen of Austrian country living in a region quite out of the beat of usual American travel. But before closing this T must commend to my countrymen the paternal care exercised by the Imperial government here in the reproduction and pres ervation of the trees and forests. Scien tifically educated officials have the su perintendence of them, whose duties are to instruct proprietors and peasants how best to cultivate or cut them and keep them in the best possible condition. The result is that the whole country i3 de lightfully wooded, having the aspect of English park scenery, most agreeable to the eye, presenting, with the numerous pastures and grain fields, picturesque masses of color, light and shade, while adding to its salubrity and natural wealth. Some of the trees are veritable monarchs. A linden tree near the castle has a trunk measuring 25 feet in circum ference, with branches of immense size, whose domelike vegetation could snelter a small hamlet. There is a neighboring yoke of nearly similar gran dear. The horse-chestnuts and firs are princely in looks. Evidently culture has as agree able and beneficial an effect on trees as in men.—N. T. Times. A Cincinnati Protest Tho following protest is circulating in Cincinnati, and is signed by a large num ber of Republicans, so-called: UNION, I’KACL, HARMONY, PROSPERITY. The undersigned, merchants and man ufacturers of Cincinnati, regardless of our political views, take tuis method of protesting against the imputation by the partisan press of this city; for political ef fect, that we cherish any hostility to. the people of the South. It is true that wa df9ire their custom, but otir Object .is far higher than any mercenary end. Th.e citv of.Cincinnati has axnendeU, U princi pal and interest, nearly thirty millions of dollars for a railroad to the South. We desire to join our brethren of the South ern States in building up a more perfect Union; a Union of hearts as well as hands, believing that in peace and har mony with them throughout our country will be found tbe pathway to a higher na tional life and to increased prosperity for them and ourselves. Children’s Temper.—Bad temper is oftener tbe result of unhappy circum stances than of au unhappy organization; it frequently, however, lias a physical cause, and a peevish child often needs dieting more than correcting. Some chil dren arc more prone to show temper than others; aud sometimes on account of qual ities which are valuable in themselves. For instance, a child of active tempera ment, sensitive feeling and eager purpose is more likely to meet with constant jars and rubs than a dull, passive child; aud if he is of au open nature, his inward irri tation is immediately shown in bursts of lassion. If you repress these ebulitions, jy scolding and punishment you only increase the evil bv charging passion into sulkiness. A cheerful, good- tempered tone of your own, a sympathy with his trouble, whenever the trouble has arisen from no ill-conduct on his part, are the best antidotes; but it would be better still to prevent beforehand, as much as 1 possible, all sources of annoyance. Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow—the whole some warmth necessary to make the heart- blood circulate healthily and freely; un happiness the chilling pressure which pro duces here an inflammation, there au excrescence, and, worst of all, “the mind’s green and yellow sickness—ill-temper.” Experiment with Seed Corn.—A subscriber sends us this apt selection, says the Phrenological Journal: “Four boxes of earth alike in quantity and ex posure to light and heat, were planted at the same time with corn from a single ear and placed recently in a physician’s office. In one box dry com was planted; in another,seed previously soaked inclear warm water; in the third, seed that had been soaked in a solution of lime-water; in the fourth, seed soaked in chloride of lime aud copperas water, equal parts. One week afterward^ the dry corn had not germinated; the corn in the second box had just commenced to sprout; that in the' third box was j ust showing its green blades, and that in tbe fourth box haa\ Town near ly three inches high. Copperas water will prevent birds and worms frpm eating tlie seed, and one pound of dry copperas will soak seed enough for twenty acres.” A Delightful Epoch.—For about six months bafore marriage a woman is perfectly happy. Sho has love newly awakened daily growing as the weeks roll on. She is looked upon at home as a much more important person than any of the other daughters. She enjoys all the frtedom of a married woman, while re sponsible for none of a married woman’s duties. Sbeis acknowledged almost as an equal by her father and mother. She is frpm under the control of father and mother, aud not under the control of her future husband. She enjoys for the first time the intimate 'confidence of a.man— who treats her as a superior, and who defers to her. She for the first time catches a glimpse of disposing of an income, and hiving her individual taste held para-' mount. For the first time she feels she has a lifelong stake in the career of a man. And under ml and over all, and around all, is her love for him. Tite greatest anxiety is experienced leal there should be a flaw in the title to property; yet a flaw in the title to health cough or cold—is disregarded. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup removes all such at once. • Unaleuaa—A treat UMSWry.

The work of gathering corn should be finished this month, if not already done, and the hogs be permitted to glean the peas aud scat tered corn. OATS. It is also a favorite time for sowing fall oats in the greater part of Georgia. We have been very successful, several times, in making oats by sowing in the cotton field during October. Where seed are scarce they may be made to go much farther by drilling them, as one-third less, in quantity per acre, will answer. In three feet (or wider) cotton rows, two furrows may be opened in each middle with a small scooter, distant from each oilier one-half the width of the cotton rows, the seed soWn by hand through a guano trumpet, and covered by running one furrow between the two grain rows, with a wide winged sweep or heel scrape. The cotton stalks may be easily knocked down in January or February, especially if done when they are frozen. It has been found that fertilizers pay well on oats, as well as wheat; and the most convenient method of application is to wet the grain thoroughly with water, allow it to drain, tljenstir in the desired quantity of fertil izer and sow all together. It is only nec essary to decide upon the amounts of seed and guano, respectively, required for an acre and mix them in that proportion. The advantages of (his method are obvi ous: The labor of sowing the fertilizers, separately, is saved; and there will be a more uniform distribution of both, when wet tlie sowing is less affected by the wind. Seventy-five pounds of any dry fertilizer will adhere to a bushel of oats, but any quantity less may be used. WHEAT. .Where the land’ intended for wheat is unoccupied by cotton or other crops, it should be prepared for sowing by repeated plowing and harrowing, until the soil is brought-into a fine tiltb. The indications are that the plan of drilling wheat iu eighteen inch to two feet drills, and cul- tiyating in the spring, will become more popular than It ha3 ever been heretofore. The practice of harrowing the broadcast grain has.been much practiced of late years, and with decided advantage. The old rule as to tbe time to sow wheat was “sdw in the dark nights in Oc tober,” but the more sensible' rule (in Georgia) is to sow about the usual time of tbe firsf Billing frost—say from the 20th of October to the first of December, ac- cording to latitude. Rust is the great enemy of wheatl ; Little, if anything, can bq done in the way of specific prevention —.with a given variety of seed and a given Soil—but a careful selection of high, dry, not over-rich clay soil, and the most har dy wheat will go a great way ill assuring exemption lrom rust.' 1 t .;•» The “Nicaragua” is the only variejty known to us that may be justly claimed as absolutely rust-proof, no’ instance of its having been injured being on record. But the grain is veiy difficult.to handle, hard to grind and bolt, and makes a dark-col ored and inferior flour. ’ The “Dallas Wheat,” while nrt absolutely rust-proof, seems to resist the fungus more success fully than any good variety. In all that portion of the State, below middjq, Geor gia it is not advisable to sow more than a few acres in wheit—sufficient to supply tlje family with flour—and none at all Un less good seed-and a» -proper soil can be sgcnretT.—^ “Ah, in Ireland!

Old Nan Who Smiled. The Grant and Hancock Sensation. IjA special dispel! Washington Id the e.Sujt, of the otb, says: ■The publication of an alleged interview with Gen. Grant, giving what purports to bi an inside history of Gen. Hancock’s fa mous Order Np. 40, produced, something iike a sensation in political circles here to-day, arid has been the hbsorbing theme of conversation both at the Republican and the Democratic headquarters.' At tlie latter place much indignation was manifested, and the opinion strongly ex pressed that Gcri. Grant’s imputations on Gfen. Hancock were as unworthy as they are unfounded. It was said that the statements made by Gen. Grant only il lustrate to wbat extreme length partisan bias will carry even a distinguished sol dier. A prominent Democrat now in 'the city said to-night that several of the most important statements made by General Grant, are wholly false, as the Republican political hand-book itself plainly Bhows. General Grant himself, at the. time he refers to was intriguing for the presidential nomi nation and coquetting with beth parties. The .Radicals in Congress rad quarreled with President John son for striving to carry out tbe policy which Lincoln ha I inaugurated, and in *rder to win Grant over they went so far as to cripple the constitutional powers of the President as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and to confer them oh the then general of the army. ,As President Jolnison sustained General Han cock, and as the Radicals could only reach him through General Grant as his superior, they used the General to serve their revenge, and he made Hancock’s position so uncomfortable that he asked tolbe relieved. “ When ho came to Wash ington after this treatment, caused solely by his refusal to carry out the radical programme of the military subjection of the South in time of peace, he declined to hold personal relations with General Grant. The Republican leaders are, of course, delighted with this last fusilade of the ex- President, and say that they believe it will prove to be an important campaigu docu ment. It is said at the War Department that so far as General Grant refers to official orders he is entirely correct in his statement and is borne out by the official records, and that tho dispatches alluded to by Grant as havine passed between himself and General Hancock are on file in the department. But there appears at present to be same confusion of dates which vitiates the whole affair. The re quest of General Hancock to be relieved from command is not among tlie papers, and this is-explained bj thestatement tbat it was. sent direct to President Johnson. It] is’a singular fact that tho very men whom General Sheridan removed from office when ia command of the department ofiLouisiaca, for v being incompetent and dikhonest, were the very men who helped to pervert tho electoral vote of Louisiana four years ago, l — t | J, - | -r .v .» v - , First Day’s Registration in Aew York.—The Herald of the 6th says: Seventy-two thousand five hundred and eighty votes were registered in this city yesterday. In presidential years the reg istration for a first day is much heavier than it is for a .first day in other years. Ini 1877, for instance, the first day was a trifle over 32,000, against 50,000 for the first day of 1S70. Upon the whole regis tration of the off years the figures fall far behind those of a presidential year, but tlie rush for the first day is the most dis tinct expression of the determination of the people to make their power felt on tbht occasion. 1 It is therefore not su:- prising that the'registration for the first daiyoftliis year should be considerably infexcess of tho first day of 1S79, since the two causes of tbe growth of the city and a presidential year operate together to pro duce this effect, but it was not anticipated that it would reach such great figures. Yesterday’s registration was nearly double th^t of the first day of 1879, and sixteen thousand ahead of the first day of 1876. The vote of the city will run over two hundred thousand this year.

Here is a case in point: Some time since one of the brightest and wittiest of Cincinnati's girls went abroad, and when she returned home, about tho One time there was a good old man liv ing in Detroit. His back was bent, bis step was slow, and men who gazed upon his snowy locks and wrinkled face whis pered to each other: “He is a good old man who has not long to live.” The old man had been well off in his day, but when be found himself on the shady side of life, wife dead and borne broken up, be said to his only son: “Here, William, take all I have, and let your home bo my home i all'. I die.” Tha son took tie pi.-ers—you bet he did ! aud the father was given a cozy cor ner, a big chair and a corn-cob pipe. All went well for a year or so, and then the son’s wife began to make it unoamfortabla for tbe nice o'ld man in the corner. They threw out hints, deprived him ot his com forts, and one day in winter he Was told that he had better go. to Halifax—Nova Scotia. The old man’s heart was sore as he went out into the world to battle against hunger and cold, and when night came he cowered in a doorway and wept like a child. “Who i3 making the chin-music up there?” called a reporter, whose steps had, been arrested , by the sobs, and he went up the steps, patted the old man on the head; and by and by the story was told. rrt ton “Come down to the station with me,” said the reporter, taking the old man’s artn. “Your sdn is first cousin to the man who preferred buzzard to lamb, and I’ll help you fix- bim.” . Next morning one of the daily papers contained an item to tbe effect that an old gentleman named Goodheart bad been found wandering the streets at night, and that when taken to the station 510,000 worth of United States bonds were found with him. The old man' read it over three times, slapped his lqg as he saw the point, aad a beautiful smile cov ered his face arid climbed up through his hair. In about an hour bis son William rushed into tbe'station and called out: 1 “Father, dear father, come .home!. AH of us were crying all night long, aud raj wife is now lying iu a comatose state on your account!” The old man went home with:him, winking at tbe lamp-posts and smiling as he turned the corners. He, bad all his comforts back, and the son bought him a cdstly pipe and a pair of box-toed boots that very day. ‘Well, as time went on tbe son ventured to suggest the bonds had better be turned oyer to him, and every time he said bonds” the old man would smile and $^rtb t fie(no r die7"afftFBd 5 «I= toner than before as he lay waiting for the sUmmobs.
