According to a table published in the British Fanner, showing the estimated wheat deficiencies and surpluses [respec tively of the various importing and ex porting countries, the importing countries require 200,000,000 bushels from abroad, while the exporting countries have an available surplus of 300,000,000 bushels of which the United States holds over 200,000,000 bushels. Ik France horse flesh, brought into fash ion at the siege of Paris, is gaining rather than losing favor. Since 1876 the amount consumed has risen from 171,500 pounds to nearly 2,000,000 pounds.

A Washington widow received a let ter saying that the writer possessed proof that she Lad murdered her husband, and would surrender it for $200. She informed the police, and they arrested two men who were concerned in the attempt to blackmail. One was a physician, and the other a photographer. There was no in timation that the woman caused her hus band's death, and the rascals relied solely on the chance that she would pay rather than be accused, though they real ly had neither the means nor the intention of publicly making such a charge. There are In the United States, as nearly as can be estimated, of Sunday- school teachers 886,328, and of scholars 6,623,124.

Mr. gnami Speaks.—The Cleve land Leader publishes the following let ter from Mr. John Sherman: « Treasury Department, Washington, Nov. 5^-To the lion. J. If. Dalzell, Caldwell, 0~* Your kind note of the 4th is received, tor which please except my thanks. I prefer to do precisely as yon recommend—await the judgment or the General Assembly of Ohio, unbiassed by any expression of my wish in the matter referred to. I do not know what Is the desire of Gen. Garfield, but I can see that my election might re lieve him from embarrassment, and leave him free to do as he thinks best in the ormation of his Cabinet. Again thank- ng you for your kind offer, I am, very truly yours, John Sherman. California has some very rich estates. In San Francisco Leland Stanford is as sessed at $10,710,000, Charlea. Crocker $10,187,000; Mark Hopkins’ widow $17,- 211,000, James C. Flood $10,600,000, Senator Sharon $4,470,000 and James G Fair $4,220,000. The Nevada Bank ia as sessed at $7,000,000, and tne Bank of Cal ifornia $6,000,000. There are a dozen or so of estates which range between two and three millions each, and twenty that are one million and upwards. This ac cumulation of great wealth in a few hands, however, is attended with corresponding great poverty among the laboring classes, and this Is the secret of the discontent of the California workingmen and the ill- xegulated political notions they cherish. A History of Georgia a Pressing Ne cessity—Judge Hook’s Views Up on the Subject By request, we copy the [following able communication of Judge Hook, which has been printed in most of the leading papers of the State: Augusta, November 5. Editors Atlanta Constitution—l will thank you for a place in your columns to urge upon the attention of the General Assembly, to be convened at the capital this week, the importance of making suit able provisions for tbe preparation and publication, at an early day, ot a correct and complete general history of tbe State of Georgia. It is felt to be, on every band, a great need at this time. It is impossi ble, as the facts now exist, for oar people to get anylbing like an accurate history of oiir great State. Such a history is essen tial to the proper instruction of our chil dren. A brief reference to the histories of our State heretofore compiled will suf fice to prove the present great need in this regard. The Rev. Mr. Hewett, a Presbyterian divine, who bad for many years been a resident of Charleston, S. C., but who bad left that city for England upon the outbreak of tbe revolutionary war, pub lished in London, In 1770, “An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of South Carolina ana Georgia.” While ia these small octavo volumes tbe colonial history ot Georgia is narrated at some length, the work is chiefly occupied with a recital of events connected with the establishment and development of the colony of South Carolina. Mr. Hewett’s labors ended prior io the revolution; and his work, long since ontof print, and puerile in itsscope, lias for very many years been inaccessible to the general reader. Shortly alter the formation of the gen eral government, Mr. Edward Langwottby conceived the design of writing a history of Georgia. After collecting some mate rial for the accomplishment of his pro posed task, he removed to Maryland, and there died. His proposed history was nev er written, and all efforts to recover such documents and memoranda as he had ac cumulated have utterly failed. McCall’s History of Georgia, in two oc tavo "volumes, published in Savannah in 1811 and 1816, is chiefly valued on ac count of the traditions it embodies relat ing to the revolutionary period of the State. It concludes with the termination of the revolution. But few copies of the work can now be found, and access to its pages is practically denied to the pub lic. Many years ago tbe Legislature of Geor gia extended aid to Mr. Joseph V. Bevan, and authorized him to collect, arrange and publish all documents in the execu tive office and tbe office of the secretary of state. He died, however, at the com mencement of his labors, and no publica tion was made. In pursuance of a resolution of the Gen cral Assembly, the Governor appointed tbe Rev. Charles Wallace Howard, an agent on the part of the State, to proceed to London and there obtain copies of all records in the colonial departments of Great Britain relating to the settlement and early history of Georgia. He brought back with him, as the fruit of this mission, twenty-two folio volumes, copied from original documents in the office of the board of trade, in the slate paper office, and in the king’s libiary. This material lias been but partially utilized, and for the most part lies dormant to the present time. The “Statistics of Georgia” and the “Historical Collections of Geoigia,” by the Rev. Mr. White, while possessing no little interest, cannot be reckoned as his- lories. They may properly be regarded as gazetteers. They contain food for the historian. Of the two octavo volumas of the Rev. WlR* Bacon Stevens published, cneof them in 2f«w York in 1847, and the other in Philadelphia in J5 39 * il raa T, be stated that they are faulty, that»-C” ,,ave never passed into general circulation. In them tbe history of Georgia is essayed only down ro the adoption of tbe constitu tion of 1798. The history of Georgia for the past eighty years and more has never been at tempted, and remains wholly unwritten. Strange as it may seem, we have literally no history of Georgia as a State. The narratives of lier hopes, acts, perils, aspi rations and achievements during that pe riod must be sought from newspaper files, fragmentaiy and occasional publications, and from the failing -memories of some, stilt in life, whose recollections of men and events extend backward perhaps filly years. These in turn must be supple mented by a careful and tedious search amidst the dust-covered records in the de partments in Atlanta, aud by a recourse to such documents as may perhaps still live in in the hands of the descendants of the illustrious dead. The preparation of a general history of Georgia from the settlement of the colony to tlie present time is an undertaking which will necessarily involve much ex pense and exbanst years ot patient toil and laborious investigation. Year by year the falBllment of such a task becomes more and more difficult. Ink fades, moths in vade, traditions are forgotten, and our great men grow old and die, leaving no endnring sign. Most of the older States of the Union, and not a lew of the younger, appreciating the importance of such publications, have already provided for and borne thechaige ol their respective State histories ing hit eminent fitness for the suggested task. - , - In his laige octavo work entitled “An tiquities of the Southern Indians, Particu larly of tlie Georgia Tribes,” published in 1873, the aboriginal history of the region embraced within the present territorial limits of Georgia is fully considered. In his “Historical Sketch of Tomo Chi Chi,” and in his “Dead Towns of Georgia,” the colonial history of Geoigia is largely con sidered and revived. In his “Historical Sketch of tbe Chatham Artillery,” and his “Narrative of the Siege of Savannah In December, 1864,” and of the “Confed erate Operations in Geoigia and tbe Third Military District of Sonth Carolina, Dur ing Gen. Sherman’s March from Atlanta to tlie Sea,” the Confederate war memories of Georgia have been in a large measure preserved .These works were Isrgelysupple- mented by his “Life of Commodore Jo- siah Tattnall,” the noblest naval hero and one of the most distinguished sons Geor gia ever gave to battle and the seas. In some of his smaller contributions, such as the “Siege of Savannah in 1773,” the “Life and Death of Count Pulaski,” and the “Historical Sketch of Sergeant Jas per,” some of the Revolutionary annals of Geoigia have received careful study. No one who has read these hooks, sketches and contributions of Colonel Jones could have failed to be impressed both witb tbe labor aud research, m well as tbe ability they display, and tbe great need there is for a more extended work from his master hand, developing a complete history of Geoigia. Will not our Legislature, recognizing his vast and important labors and great outlay in tills direction already, as well as his unquestioned fitness and preparation for the task, assign him the duty and give him the proper aid to accomplish it? It is impossible he can complete tbe work un aided. A history of Georgia by Colonel Charles C. Jones, Jr., thus authorized and sustained, will be a work of which every Georgian will be justly proud. It will abound in facts, events and incidents full of interest to all our people, while the style and grace in which it will be written will rival the grace and perspicuity of Addison and the fascinating diction and eloquence of Macauley. Those who have read after Colonel Jones will agree with me; the State has never produced a more elegant or attractive writer. In every way I can, I desire to serve my Slate, and I feel that if I can at all aid in eliciting prompt and favorable action by the Ceneral Assembly in this matter, I will to that extent have rendered her a great service. And now—when there is much money in the State treasury, obtain ed from outside sources—is a most oppor tune time forthe Legislature to give to the people, by a proper appropriation to that end, a true, comprehensive and admirably written general histoty of the State they love. James S. Hook. Tlie Horey Letter Perjurer*. New York, November 11.—The Times publishes a statement concerning a con fession alleged to have been made by wit ness Morey in the Fhilp forgery case yesterday. The scheme for bringing him to this city to testify as to the existence of H. L. Morey originated in the law office of John Sanborn, in Lawrence, Mass., and was the result of a conspiracy be tween “Al” Clark and Sanborn. Clark keeps a billiard saloon iii Lawrence and Sanborn is a lawyer, and was a candidate for Presidential elector on tbo Democratic ticket in Massachusetts. Morey was “crammed” by Clark in Sanborn's office before coming here, and both Clark and Sanborn knew that lie was coming to New York to testify to a lie. Clarke volun teered to come with him and pay his ex penses and to take it Hack out of the money which be was to receive for his testimony. The two came to this city on the Satur day before the election. Morey was quar tered for the first two nights in the rooms of the National Democratic Committee. On the day after his arrival he was taken to the office of tbe newspaper which pub lished the ,'wC 7 ’ he could rertignlzo tne handwriting of H. L. Morey, his reputed undo. P , r ed that he could. He wai then ashed wlist it was like. He said it wa-. ar »° and bold. He was shown no hotel regis ter at this time, but next day was taken to the newspaper office again, and shown the name of H. L. Morey in tbe Lynn Hotel register aud asked if lie recognized it. He said that he did, and was taken away again. Every word of his testi mony on the stand in tbe Pbilp case was a He, and lie had been educated to tell it. When he left New York to return to Lawrence, after giving Ills testimony, he received $150 from the National Democratic Committee in tlie form of a cheek drawn to liis own order on a national bank of this city. This check was cashed in Lynn, and Cla-k took for his share of it $50, leaving $100 for Morey. IIo was to receive $200 for coming to New York the second time. Morey had been out of employment a long time, and had been hanging aroitud Clark’s billiard saloon in Lawrence until he was considerably in debt to its proprie tor. He was asked by Clark to come to New York and testify falsely tbat be once had an uncle named H. L. Morey, and re fused twice. Finally Clark told liim tbat he must either pay the debt at onco or come. As he could not pay, he consented to perjure himself. Robt. Lindsey, or James O’Brien, as he coufesses his real name to be, is a native of Washington, D. C., where he has lived •*.»«-m•>“ is moving by hef proper RepresenU-Aes In rou gh men about the city, and has been reliabTe? comprehenaive hismry of her penitentiary twice for disorferly own times, acts and children will not be disputed. It appears eminently proper tbat she should facilitate tbe consumma tion ot a labor which will have for its ob ject the intelligent consolidation of lier illustrious memories, the exhibition of the true philosophy of events which have dig nified her annals, the portrayal of the characters which have shed lustre upon their day, and the certification to tbe pre sent generation, and to those which will come after, of the reasons why they should love and cherish this noble common wealth. As a Georgian, proud of the record of my noble State, I most earnestly desire to see a truthful, accurate general history (which docs not now exist) placed in our libraries, and made accessible to our peo ple. The same pride animates me also in wishing, as I do, to see tbe work con signed to able bands. It wa3, therefore, Willi singular pleasure I noticed a fen- days ago a public suggestion of the name of Col. Charles C. Jones, Jr., as the prop* er man to undertake and perform the Im portant work. Who is better or even half so well pre pared as he, for tlie efficient and success ful performance of the great task ? His fame as a historian of immense research and resources,and of high scholarly attain ments, is not limited to the State of Geor gia, or tbo United States. His eminence In letters, classic lore, history and science, have won for him houorablo dis.inctiou in other lands. It Is the pride of Geor gians to know that such is his fame in historical and arcbxologlcal research that his works and writings are often cited as high authority by other literary aud sci entific authors and writers. l .knon that it lias been the aim and worthy ambition of Colonel Jones for many years to prepare a history of Geor gia tbat would be accurate, full and sat isfactory; and that, with this object in view, he has, during the past twenty years and more, with much cost and labor, ac quired all original tracts descriptive of tlie settlement and early life of the colony, and all natter, printed or written, which be could procure bearing upon the history of the State. To gentlemen who have en joyed Lie privilege of access to Colonel Jones’ library it is well known that the collection is more extensive and valua ble than any other outside of the British Museum. As already stated the proper composi tion of such a history has been the ruling ambition of his life, and if the Legislature will only offer suitable encouragement to conduct. He was sent for to go to Cum. berland, Md., just before the election, by Win. M. Price, a candidate for presiden tial elector on the Democratic ticket, and when he arrived there Price and a police officer, named Birmingham, instructed him in the role which lie' was to play in this city regarding the Morey letter. Bir mingham taught him the story ho was to tell, and took him to promincut mines in the neighborhood and tried to drill him into an exact knowledge of their locality and features, but, as subsequent events proved, tlie time was too short or the man was too stupid to gain a sufficient knowledge of this kind to make a successful peijurer. Then, when the man was supposed to bo thoroughly in formed, Birtningh.m bought Ills ticket and sent him to this city, consigned to the paper whose purposes lie was designed t> serve. In the office of this paper bo was questioned and given ten dollars with the promise of one hundred more when his work was completed. His testimony, from beginning to end, was a fabrication. When he arrived here, he was registered at French’s Hotel as Welch and in Cum berland as Murray, ho tbat he had five names within a week. O’Brien says that Hart gave him ten dollars when he arrived here last Saturday, and promised bim one hundred dollars when his work was done, and he started for heme. In his confes sion he admits he never saw the affidavits signed Robert Lindsey. The lawyers for the defense, all and severally, profess to wash their hands of any responsibility for the inculpated wit nesses, Morey and O’Brien. Geneial Roger A. Pryor, on being asked wbat he knew of tbe matter, said he had never seen either of the men before or held any direct or indirect communication with them until they were put on tbe stand. He did not even then examino them, but left that to the Tombs lawyer in the case to which he belonged. New York, November 11.—Tbs case of James O’Brieu, alias Lindsey, and S. S. Morey, charged with peijury in the Morey letter case, was before the grand jury of the General Sessions to-day. An indictment wasordered for perjury against O’Brien, and Morey was used as State’s evidence and sent to the house of deten tion as a witness. Tbe confessions of Jas. O'Brien and S. 8. Morey were banded to the press by Coi. Bliss this evening, and are very long and detailed, making to gether five or six thousand words. The following is a summary cf the confession of S.S. Morey: Is forty-nine years of age; was bom In Lowell, and lives in Lawrence, Mass. Is enable him to devote his whole time to the work, he would doubtless bring to.its ] . ■ _ ■ accomplishment a zeal of real love that by occupation a laborer; has liesn for would result in a history of our grand old j some time very poor, and last winter suf- I Emnire State of the South alike worthy fered severely, having neither overcoat j of his high reputation and gratifying to | nor shoes, and many times nothing in the our people. Hobos already done much house to eat, (here witness wept); was excellent work in his time, fully indicat- f subject to epileptic fits,and on that account ; was unable to get work. Was helped now and then by a man named. A. Y. Clarke, who kept a pool room in Law rence. When the Mm-ey letter case came to trial, this Clarke and others came to witness and asked if he knew any man named H. L. Morey. Witness- said that he thought he did, that he thought H„L. Morey was an uncle of bis. Auer that these men, as he says, kept bothering liim, and finally they received a telegram from New York and wanted him to go on there and testify. Clarke came to a wood yard where witness was splitting wood and persuaded him to go with him (Clarke) to the office of a law yer named Sanborn. There he met Mr. Sanborn, a man named Murphy, and an other man whom the witness did not know. They all tried to persuade him to go to New York and testify. The witness for a long time refused and said be did not want to get into & scrape. They re plied that “This was only a political case and would all be settled after the elec tion.” The witness said: “If we go on there we will be lodged in jail—the whole ofu3.” Clarke said: “You need not be afraid; we will stand by yon and see you well paid.” Witness still declined to accompany them. Finally, Clarke reproached him with wearing clothes which be (Clarke) bad given him, and still refusing to grant him (Clarke) the first favor which tlio latter bad asked of him. Witness then agreed to go, but said, “It will bring me into a scrape, and you will get iuto a scrape yourself.” Witness then came to Now York, his ex penses being paid. Witness said his testi mony In the Fhilp trial was true except that part of it about H. L. Morey and the statement tbat a Republican had offered him $100 not to come to New York; those parts ot his testimony were false, and he knew at the time that they were false. He does not know and never knew any such man -as H. L. Morey. Witness then gave a detailed ac count of his service lathe army during the late war. Witness reached Now York on the Saturday night preceding the election, and went directly to the headquarters of the National Democratic Committee, and finding nobody there ho and Clarke went to the Continental Hotel for the night. On Sunday morning they went again to the headquarters of the National Democratic Committee, where they met a man by the name of Moore, sergeant-at-arms of the committee, and several other headquarters men. Witners did not see Bsruum, who was absent, but saw a man whom he supposed to be his secretary, who wrote and gavo bim a check for $150. The secretary did not say what the money was to pay for. Witness and Clarke spent that night at the national Democratic headquarters. The men there said they could not 1st them go out of sight “for fear little Dav enport would get hold of them.” Next morning-witness and Clark went to the Truth office and from there to the court house. At the office of Truth witness met a lawyer whose name I think was Hummel, and James H. Hart, proprietor of the paper. Wit ness told Hart what he afterwards testified in court about H. L. Morey. Witness then related the substance bfsev eral conversations which ho had at differ ent times with Hart, but which contained nothing of especial importance. Clarke never told witness who sent the telegram from New York asking to have him (wit ness) sent on. Clarke spoke to him about a letter from Mr. Goodell, and afterwards Mr. Hart showed liim (witness) tbe Goodell letter, and told him Morey had gone to Florida for his health, but that he (Hart) was going to Florida after him and would have him back in time. Witness then related more in detail the circumstance? of the payment to him of $150 at the national Democratic head quarters. He thought the name of the man who wrote and gave him the check was Smalley. Fifty dol lars of the money was for Mr. Clarke’s expenses and the remainder for himself. Smalley made out a receipt and witness signed it.* Upon their return to Lawrence, Clarke and witness went to the Pacific National Bank and got the check cashed, Clarko saying to witness "You need not say anything about where you got it;” witness replied tbat ho would not. "“•leas then Uesenbed in detail all bis movements I-*** 0 * during the next two or three days. On Thursday, a man named Warner, from New York, came after him to go to New York again. Witness thought War ner bad come to arrest him, and the ex citement threw bim into an epiletic fit. As soon as witness recovered, on Saturday he, Clarke and Wrmer started for New York, slopping all night at Boston, and registering under fictitious names at the hotel. Upon arriving in New York they went to the Truth office, where Bart said to Warner, “take him to the hotel and have tbe bills charged to me.” Warner then took witness to the Belmont hotel, •where Warner registered under the name ofGillmsn and witness under the name of A. Clements. Next morning they went to the Truth office and afterwards to the court room. On the way from Boston to New York Warner said to witness: “We must keep dark until we get iuto court.” In reply to a question, the wit ness said the check which he re ceived at the National Democratic commit tee’s headquarters was drawn on the Na tional Park bank. He could not remember what name was signed to tho check. Witness received no other money except $10 from Warner. Warner said, however, tbat they would pay witness well for coming on the second time. No amount was specified. Witness never bad seen Warner until the latter came after him, but thought from bis talk that he was connected with the Truth office. In reply to questions, witness said Clarke was the first person who suggested to him that he should say he knew ll. L. Morey. Hart was the man who showed him the name of H. L. Morey on the ro ister, and suggested that bo (witness) should swear It was H. L. Morey’s signa ture. As a matter of fact tbe signature was not In the handwriting of H. L. Mo rey, or anybody else whom witness ever knew. Witness then said: “I remember anoth er remark Clarke made when I met my uncle .John yesterday. He shook hands with me and Clarke [said ‘who’s that?’ I said ‘that’s my uncle John.’ Clarke said, ‘he will testify there is noH. L. Morey.’ I said ‘yes, he would—they will all testify there is no H. L. Morey.” He said ‘well, I dont’t Jcare if you go to hell; I’ll go with you.’” Sleep at Nioht.—Sunshine is given us for use, that we may require little arti ficial light. Gas, oil and candles alike vitiate the air. Tbe fewer hours that are spent in artificial light tbe better; and this suggests, ot itsolf, that within reasonable limits the sooner we go to rest after dark the better. We require In the cold sea son of winter, when the nights are long, much more of sleep than we do in the summer. On the ldngest day in the year seven hours of sleop are sufficient for most men and women who are not in the prime of life. On the shortest day nine hours of sleep are not considered too much, aud for those who are weak, tenor twelve hours may be taken with real advantage. In winter, children should always have ten or twelve hours sleep. It is not idleness to Indulge to tbat extent, but an actual saving, a stor ing up of invigorated existence for the fu ture. Such rest can only be obtained by going to bed very early, say at lialf-psst eight or nine o’clock. It is as wrong as ever It can be that our legislators should often be sitting np, as we know they do time after time, in the dead of nfght, try ing against Ufa to legislate for life., Iti is most foolish that public writers, who hold so many responsibilities in their hands, should be called upon to exercise their craft at a time when all their nature is calling out to them, “Rest, rest, rest!” There are many who will disagree with me in saying these things; but nature Is on my side. In every man, woman and child there is, at about the early time I. have named, a.persistent periodical desire for sleep, which steals on determinately, which taken at the flood leads to a good sound night’s rest,and which resisted never duly returns, but is replaced by a surreptitious sleep, broken by weary dreams, restless limbs, and but partial res toration of vital power. Work with the snn as far as possible. What Constitutes a Business Tkainino.—By a business training we ’ do not mean an education, which merely fits you for bookkeeping, which makes only machines of you for adding up col umns and keeping accounts; but a train ing which will lit you for all departments of business and trade, which will give you an insight into human nature and teach you te act with confidence in your own powers and abilities. An education such as this is not a matter of a few weeks of superficial study, bat tbe earnest work of months. It cannot be obtained without effort, but will tax your energies to the ut most. It will not merely amuse you with the idea of playing business, but will bring out all your latent resources and instruct you how to make them serviceable in the coming struggle for supremacy. If you are able, obtain a business educa tion at once. It is not safe to neglect li. An opportunity lost may never be re gained. Many are obliged to look back on lost opportunities with regret. Do not be discouraged, however, if you have not the means for obtaining a practical educa tion immediately at your command. It is of tbe greatest Importance Jo have an aim in view. Take tuts for your aim; keep it constantly in view—think of .it, dream of it, work for it—you will then certainly accomplish it. Whenever you have tbe means at your disposal enter upon it with spirit and use your money wisely. For a reliable business training go only to a targe commercial city. The experi ence which you will thus obtain will be of tlie greatest value to you in your future career. It is not by isqladon that we gain wisdom, but by intercourse with our fel- low-men. Where men most do congre gate is the place to acquire valuable knowledge. In tbe very atmosphere of laige cities there is an activity which is contagious. One unconsciously becomes inspired witb tbe energy and enterprise of commerce. This is a n>*uor of the great est importance toyoungmenwho are am bitious to enter business; besides, tbe op portunities in a large city are always more numerous than In a small town. The Eaton Tariff Commission. Tlie following, from tlie Philadelphia Ledger, is opportune and to tbe point: “Whatever may be the result of the elec tion as to members of Congress, the Eaton tariff commission bill ought to receive the earnest support of protectionists and free trader:. Neither can afford to leave such abroad question in political economy to be tbe football of politicians at tbe polls and in Congress. Every item in tlie tariff of duties ougbt to be deliberately revised by a commission of broad-minded experts, whether customs are to be laid for revenue purposes only or for tho protection of American industries. Congress ought to and, undoubtedly, will decide the principle upon which tar iff duties shall be laid; as to the details for affecting this purpose the deliberate judgment of experts is required; Any one who will take the trouble to look over the list of duties now assessed, and reflect for a moment upon the intimate relation existing between some of tbe ar ticles as they enter together into recog nized American manufactures, will see that a very broad knowledge of arts and manufactures, trade aud commerce, is re quired to prepare a tariff that will be ben eficial in its effects. It is a revision of this kind tbat Is wanted, and a commis sion such as Senator Eaton proposes is needed to combine' data for the guidance of Congress, uo matter what policy that body may choose to adopt.” A Knotty Question.—ARaleigb law yer was interviewed lately by an agricul turalist living a score of miles from the city, who said he wanted to SOC-ure 9 di vorce from bis wife. ‘•You don’t!!« Sappily with her, eh ?” inquired the lawyer. “No; we don’t seem to hitch worth a cent,” was tho quiet reply. • ' ' “Does she scold and fret and make your home a hell upon earth, so to speak?” continued the lawyer. “That’s her, exactly.” “And you are prepared to prove that you have a peaceful disposition, and that you liavo done everything you could *- v- home pleasant.” “You bet I am! Anybody as knows me will awear tbat I wouldn’t hurt a flea, and tbat I move around home like an angel!” “Well. I guess wo can mako out a case,” said tlie lawyer, as he took up his pen and began to jot down tlie points. After a moment he inquired: “Do you think your wife will contest the case ? Has she any defense ?” “Waal, now, I never thought of that,” slowly replied the farmer, “I didn’t know as sho had anything to say about it.” “She may have. Has she any grounds for complaint against you ?” “I don’t know much about law,” an swered the client in a hesitating way. “I know I’se got a hankering after her sister Manar, and her sister Mariar has a hank ering after me, but whether them is good grounds for complaint I don’t know!’’ The lawyer hasn’t filed a bill yet.

After edelng carefully towards tbe matter; a friend' induced him to tell about it, probably forthe teu thous andth time. “ Yes, I was standing in the boat, with the iron in my ham!,” said he, “looking around for liis majesty, for I thought we liad given liim his death blow. Suddenly up he came right ahead of tie, and he struck the boat right underneath with his prolonged under jaw, knocking itontfrom under ine, and I fell straight over into his mouth.” “What did you think then?” asked a listener, as the captain panted. “Thought I was a goner,” answered the captain, “especially when he shut his mouth on me. But be was fortunately in tlie egonles of death, too worried to think of me, and after giving me one savage crunch lie blowed me out of his mouth, covered with blood. I at once struck out for tbe boat.” ' “And when they picked him np they thought lie was killed,” said another ob tain, “though after a good while he recov ered.” There were ugly wounds on Captain Wood's scale, and 8 great lump on his side was Visible under his coat, i “What did you think when you were In his month, and knew where you were ? ” asked another bystander. “Thought he’d yield about eighty bar rels,” said Captain Wood, turning over his quid and firing at tbe sawdust.— Nantucket Correspondence of the Indi anapolis Journal. Faqanini and the Blind Fiddler. One cold Christmas day a poor blind man was playing ou a violin and trying to earn a crust in' one of tbe Londou streets, bnt somehow his tunes lacked the power to bring him any pence. There stood the blind man, cold and hungry, alone in his misery. Two gentlemen were passing, and stopped opposite the player, convening for a few minutes. One'of them approached the player, and gently patting his back, said: “Won’t tlie people give you auy money ?” “No,” was the reply; “they won’t open tlieir windows; it is too cold.” “Well, lend me your fiddle, and I wll! see if they will open for me.” Tlie speaker took tlie violin and played a tune, the like of which was never before heard in a street. The windows opened' as if by magic, and money was thrown out of them plentifully enough. The charmer accomplished liis purpose, gather ed up the money, and, handing It to the blind player, said; “There, you can go home now; you have got sufficient to keep you for day at least.” It was Paga nini* ^ ^ . y , .

General Lawton was heartily applauded as be began his speech. He staled that it was generally known that his name bad been associated with tbe high office of United States Senator, and it has been tbe custom for citizens aspiring to such an office to address the General Assembly. Whether this custom would be. more hon ored in tbe breach than the observance, he would not stop to inquire, but be ap peared at tbe kind request of quite a num ber Of tbe members of the General As sembly. He spoke of the greve responsibility resting on tbe Legislature in this matter. He did not proclaim his special fitness for the office. No man has the right to claim this office. He would not make this a personal discussion, though it might ap pear so rince lie would speak of the polit ical record of tbe very distinguished gen tleman who Is also a candidate for this honor, If he is deemed a true representa tive of the political sentiment of Georgia, I frankly say to you that he is mentally capable of filling this high position. But when he appears as the representative man of the State of Georgia he chal lenges criticism upon liis political record. [Applause.] You know well what offices he lias filled. He was ardently, earnestly and zealously in flavor of tbe war. He urged secession in his message to the Legislators.. It is a matter or nistorj tbat while he exhibited great energy in the early years of the war, he soon be came. involved In a perpetual war of words and paper with the general author ities ot tbe Confederacy. Soon after the war began that system of oppression under which we groaned so long, that schema of reconstruction which had no foundation in tbe constitution, In the law or nations or in the practice of nations from the time ofthe Roman em pire down. [Applause.] It has been said by Gov. Brown tbat the conqueror had the right to do with us as he pleased. I demur to any such sentiment; I do not say that power is always right. One con solation in our sorrow was that we were prepared for endurance in peace as well as for heroism in war. [Applause.] Our young men and our old men declined to bow the knee to Baal, and refused to as sist m the work of degradation. [Ap plause.] Did Gov.Brown, when he disa greed with us, stand aside and say, “I will await other times,” or did he adopt an other couise, that thrift might follow fawning, and throw himself in the arms of tlie conqueror? [Applause.] He planted himself with all bis ability on the side ol our oppressors. [Applause.] Did he staud by us in our sorest needs or did he find out where power was and at its behest pursue the citizens of this State? [Applause.] He went to Chica go and stood for General Grant there, who he says was a lifedong Democrat. If this is true, Governor Brown is the only man who lias found it out. [Applause. I He helped to keep the chains upon n> to pnt under tho ban £’,i who had done us noblest service, Ho tried to put the best men in Ine State underneath and the Ignorant masses on top. jApplauso,] I speak for Georgia, and I will show you that I am uot speaking for uryielf. [An- piause.j Governor Brown toid the white people at a dangerous time that their homes were pledged to peace, and he told the colored people that no two millions of people ever lost the power of tiie ballot without bloodshed. Hero was the warm ing to the one and the suggestion to the other. [Applause.] What was tho re sult? He was donouncod from llabun Gap to Tybeo Halit by tho men who bad * * • n*. spent ineir uioou anu treasure ... Howell Cobb, of blessed memory, said such language about bim as I shall not re peat here. Beniamin Hill, whom Gov. Brown has pronounced tbe grandest orator in the Senate, nearly exhausted that ora tory in denouncing the political sins of Governor Brown. [Applause.] It is said tbatJGovemor Brown declared that Bul lock, if elected would bankrupt the State, and yet he pressed his claims in preference to those of a gallant Confederate general. He appeared before tbe Legislature as a candidate for tbe Senate, and though be put them iu power they rejected him. [Cheers.] But his services to the party of oppression were not to be unrewarded. His creature, tlie Governor, made him chief justice of the State. [Applause.] But a transformation came and the people of Geoigia got possession of their own State. The office of chief justice was abandoned and a valuable position in pri vate life was accepted with that sagacity which sees coming events cast their shad ows before. [Applause.] The speaker alluded sharply to Gov ernor Brown’* prosecution of the Columbus prisoners. All this was explained after the only other man who knew tbe troth of it was dead (General Meade). Not long afterwards, liis conversion to Democracy, lie deserted the Republicans in their trouble as be had left us in oars. [Ap plause.] : General Lawton severely criticised Gov ernor Brown’s conduct in advisiug the people of the South to sustain' the recon struction laws, aud declared tbat bis prin ciples, if generally adopted, would destroy ail patriotism—all tbat Is noble in history and grand in life. Even if we had seen, as this sagacious man says be did,that Kve must tamely sub mit at last, I honor tbe people who, over the fresh graves of their dead heroes, said “not now, not now!" [Cheers.] Georgia was tbe first Southern State on her feet, and it was because she' refused Governor Brown's advice. [Cheers.] The sneaker then argued that the sup port of Greeley was not the support of such principles as those of Governor Brown In 1863. Speaking to tbe members of tbe Legislature, be said: You should honor tbe men who have never been false to you. I do not proclaim myself fit for it. Others must find my qualifications if I have any. If you can find a man in Georgia who-, really represents the principles of this people, put him in the Senate. If you have no such man, God save the people of Georgia. [Cheers.] 'He then declared that he had not push ed himself forward in this matter, and that he would rejoice in the election of any good man who, really represents the State. General Lawton argued that the claim that the recent State election settled the Senatorial race in favor of Governor Brown Was uot good, for some of tbe strongest supporters of Colquitt were op posed to Governor Brown’s election. In noticing a card In the Constitution he de clared that its insinua'.ious were unjuit, but he believed fn the geographical prin ciple. There is no State in tbe uniop which lias the governor and both Senators from the same city. He had ever , been the warm friend si Atlanta, and some times when.it was not very convenient to be so. The State outside of Atlanta must admit Its inferiority if this state of things continnes. • n " General Lawton ipoke of the claim tbat Governor Brown should be elected since Garfield had been elected, and inquired what Governor Brown could do with such an administration. He quoted freely from the Constitution, which he called “the leading j^rown organ.” * The Idea of sending Governor Brown to influence the administration is at least suggestive. [Applause.] General Lawton’s concluding remarks were highly applauded. He declared tbat if the legislature could find any man wor thy to represent the true sentiment of Georgia lie hoped he would be elected to the high office of Senator, and it would meet his hearty approbation.

The Herald of the 10th says news from Ireland is serious. Mr. Gladstone has drawn tbe sword. Troops are moving from Dublin to Mayo. The government has information tbat an armed volunteer movement of Orangemen from tbe Notth proposes to visit Mayo. The fear is that such a body, on a hostile errand, would invoke hostilities. To prevent this troops have been been moved from Dublin. Mr. P»Ntor eaye tho rortvumonf tiUUjAs U to keep the peace. The general unrest continues. We hear of troubles expected, of midnight drill ings, ol sales ot arms, of signs of trouble. As the Irish Times remarks, while there is violence or dread of it, there cannot be reform. “ Society,” it says, “ is less concerned with the amendment of tbe laws than with tbe defense of them, and it will task the government as greatly to protect liberty as to devise measures.” Mr. Gladstone, in bis speech at tbe Lord Mayor’s dinner last night, declares war upon the Parnell agitation. He attributes much of it to mischievous persons, per sonally Parnell. The government recog nizes the right of tbe landlord to evict the tenant and proposes to- protect any occu pier of an evicted property. 1 First, before reform—before a nioJitication of tbe land laws—are “law and order.” Mr. Gladstone’s declaration in favor of “law and order” will please the English people and help bis government. The trouble is that while tho Premier is talk ing about “law and order” over a Lord Mayor's turtle soup, Irish peasants do not have meat twice a year. And thus we present tbe Alpha aud Oraegq of tho Irish question. ; Hot a Tramp Printer. A few days ago we gave In our news column the intelligence of the death of a printer by thp name of Caldwell, who was killed by the up Atlanta passenger train just above Forsyth. It turns out that bta real name was not Caldwell, and that he had seen better and happier days than hja latter days proved tft be. The Graanviil*•»» '■ . 4.. w.) News, under tho head of “Whisky,” copies the dispatch to the Griffin News, and says :' Tbe man referred to was not named “Caldwell,” and was not a tramp printer. Seventeen years ago he occupied a place of some importance under the Confederate government, having been incapacitated from active service by honorable wounds. Of the best Virginia blood, Inheriting a brilliant intellect, tbe possessor of unusual acquirements, handsome iu feature and courtly m address, be was a social favorite, and seemed"deatined for success In life. Zr*’** a for Junmalismf lie entered upon _ ^*r. Then he disappeared from g. r ‘C(H. public view. About two months agq he entered tbo Daily News office an un kempt, abject, shiveiiug tramp, sunk far below and away from bis refined home- circle and old friends. Ambition lost, hope gone, and respectability only a bit ter memory, be “moved on” upon bis weary, aimless journey, ss very a wreck as ever drifted lonely and forgotten on the cold waves of a silent and desolate sea. An outcast, having no fellowship with those like him, and only a maudlin env7 oftbo3efrom among whom he fell, he went on and on to now scorns and rebuffs, seeking nothing, and with never a hope of comfort or rest. His long tramp is over, A soon-to-be forgotten heap of earth somewhere hides whs. is left from prying eyes. Friends and family will fbrget him except to won der of his fate, and think ofhimasthey knew him, in his strength and beauty, in the past that seems already so misty and strange. Few will know tbat tbe mass of uncleanly rags and bloated flesh that lay beside tbe railroad track and found a stranger's grave in Georgia was tbs rem nant of the accomplished gentleman and e brilliant journalist. Let it go. One life ruined docs not count for much among so many, and twenty years hence there will be no rec ord that he ever lived or flourished, except chance vague recollections. Had it not been for whisky, however, tbe man might have been strong and great and his name handed down with honor. Death in a Strange Land. Wo copy the following touching para graph from the Dawson Journal: Last Friday, while the employes of Coup’s circus were busily engaged ar ranging for tbe show, Mr. Charles P. Haskins, of Providence, K. L, suddenly fell dead. Coroner Daniel was imme- diately summoned, and an inquest was held over bis remains. The verdict was “Death from heart disease.” His body was carried to tbe city hall, where Ids friends robed him and placed bim in a uetalic casket. He lay uutil 4 o’clock, p. m., at which time the members ofthe cir cus gathered at the hall and followed the remains to their resting place in our cem etery. The hearse was drawn by six fine black horses, and followed by nearly the entire circus compauy. Two brass bands were in tbe funeral procession, and alternately furnished music appro priate to the occasion. Arriving at the grave, Mr. Harry Evarts, the “Little Giant Orator,” occupied a few moments in de livering a eulogy over the body ol his de ceased friend, and after an earnest prayer by Rev. W. M. Hayes, of this place, tbe body of Charles P. Haskins was lowered iuto the grave, while Prof. Mentor's band played a “Trio from Dead March of Saul.” It has been our privilege to witness many impressive scenes, but until then, when the body ot' Mr. Haskins, a strange.- in a we never knew and never felt the awful who had been his companions and friends Deceased was, we learn, about twenty- “It disagrees witb me.” A common LroN’s Heel Stiffeners keop new boots
