Terribly Cold far Georgia.
Wednesday night and Thuraday morn
ing were signalized by s temperature never
before known In this section of Georgia.
At 7 o’clock Thursday morning the mer
cury in Yineville indicated plus 5, and
scant at that. All unused to such a tem
perature, It produced awkward results in
every household. The dough put to rise
under the kitchen stove for hot rolls In the
morning was frozen as bard as a stone.
The water in every receptacle was in the
same condition. Milk all frown, and a
pitcher of cream in Irwntitu from dairy to
diulng-roomtook on asolidityrendering it
unfit to use 'before thawing. The fish
were as stiff as a poker, and Cook declared
they froze harder when dropped in the
fryingpan. In short, it was a morning
ever-memorable and never-to-be-forgotten
At various points in town we hear the
mercury quoted (though at differing
hours) at three, four, six and eight degrees
above zero. In the office the pipes sup
plying the engine with water froze solid,
and when cut disclosed a solid casting of
ice through their entire length. Through
out the long cold night the hands were
busy trying to get out an edition by filling
the boiler by hand, and then cooling down
to fill again. This, as might bo expected
was vain. Not half the edition was print
ed. The same thing, we imagine, hap
pened to hundreds of steam engines and
locomotives in the State last night, and
there was many a failure of performance,
resulting from failure to forecast and pro
vide for any such degree of cold. At noon
yesterday the mercury, under the influ
ence of sunshiny weather, rose to 16.
When the sun goes down we shall have
another cold night.
A Hospital’s Hospitable Entertain'
ment
Eleemosynary institutions, such as hos
pitals, asylums, charity schools, etc., are
universally regarded as objects deserving
of substantial remembrance at Christmas
by tbo humane and liberal of
every community, liut for once, the
genial Superintendent of the Bibb County
Hospital, Mr. Harmon, fairly turned the
tables oh Wednesday upon all tbe Dor
cas societies and almsgiving associations
of tbe country.
This time it was the hospital,through its
accredited head, that did the feting and
feasting,and the beneficiaries included,pri
marily, some of the most distinguished
dignitaries of the county. Among those
present were their Honors Judges Sim
mons and Holt, of the Superior and
County courts, Dr. Blacksbear,
the recently returned European
tourist Dr. A. P. Collins, Tax Collector
Peters, the excellent secretary of the coun
ty board of commissioners, Mr. W. G.
Smith, and others. To any one seeing
the immense vessel of egg-nog, deep
enough to float the miniature jolly boat of
a man-of-war, it would have bean impos
sible to realize that “hen fruit" is selling
at forty cents per dozen. But the expla
nation is afforded in the fact that Mr. Har
man lays hisoum eggs, or, to be more ex
plicit, the hospital chickens perform that
pleasing duty for ltim.
Then there were sundry mysterious bot
tles, doubtless drawn from the medical
stores of the hospital, and kept in readi'
ness to meet sudden emergencies which
on that snowy day, were constantly occur
ring, that played quite an imnortant part
as aeant couriers of the coming banquet.
They were administered, however, under
the direction of the regular county pbysi
clan with due regard to quantity and the
ngency of each case, and the imbibers
scored another victory for those who con
tend that “God’s creatures” (among them
old whisky) were made to be used but
not abused.
Thexlinner itself was a model “spread,”
covering imperial turkeys, fat chickens,
juicy joints of beet, oysters, raw and
cooked, vegetables, the like of which, out
side of the State fair, no other man but
Harmon can produce, chicken salad
pickles and other delicacies, all prepared
secundum artem, and an elegant dessert
besides.
The company enjoyed themselves Im
mensely, and many were the pleasant ut
terances and sparkling sentiments that
went circling round that board which was
so heavily freighted with good things,
Mr. Harmon fills most faithfully and ac.
ceptably the difficult and responsible du
ties of his office. The hospital wards ate
well kept, scrupulously clean, and the pa
tients receive the most careful nursiDg.
They are abundantly supplied alse with
wholesome, well cooked food, and a per
fect wealth of the finest vegetables we
have ever seen. Tbe moral and religious
Influence exerted over the inmates of the
Institution, too, is salutary and excellent.
Indeed, we do not know where the board
could duplicate their vigilant and efficient
hospital superintendent. That he will be
retained as long as he will consent lo hold
tbe position caunot be doubted. But tbe
county should show its appreciation of
Mr. Harmon by a liberal increase of his
salary. At present It Is far from adequate,
The Picture Berersed.
LaaS year, at this time, we were printing
telegrams from Europe telling ot terribly
severe weather on tbe other side of tbe
Atlantic. Fierce snow storms, tempera
ture bordering od zero and terrible inun
dations were chronicled even in mild and
genial France, and as low down as South
ern Italy and Greece. Tbo comparative
isothermal lines between Europe and the.
American continent were confounded and
blotted out from the meteorologist's
map, tor while these wintry scenes were
being enacted in Europe, all America
blossomed with untimely spring. Old
Winter had lorgotteu his work, and all
nature was confused with April tempera
ture at Christmas. The newspapers were
all telling about strawberries on the
Christmas board, and early spring vegeta
bles were not uncommon. Peach and
other fruit trees were in bloom, and, in
fact, have not yet recovered from the ef
fects of that premature development, un
der the seductions of a balmy spring tem
perature.
But now we see the picture Is almost
entirely reversed. They had a green
Christmas in London this week, and all
over the Continent the weather Is mild
and genial. Let the meteorologists bring
to light the recondite celestial causes of
this remarkable see-saw between the two
continents. It would seem that some
general planetary cause, affecting our so
lar system, must be at work to produce
so extensive a revolution.
Belf-ltolaing Flour.
It is a fact that more floor Is to be
found now in Ireland than at any time
since the late famine. It is tbe “flower of
the British zrmy,” which a London Timet
dispatch tells us Is now quartered in tbe
Emerald Isle—a self-raising preparation,
which nnfortnnately does not set well on
the Irish stomach in any form; and If, as
Intimated, it is shortly to be employed In
enforcing a general disarmament act,
there la great danger that it will bring on
convulsions. But we shall soon see what
is coming. Parliament meets next week
and government will probably show its
hand at once.
Tbe spectacle disclosed at the trial of
Parnell and his associates in Dublin is
well calculated to put John Bull on his
mettle. Tbe defense fund now roaches
tbe amount of fourteen thousand pounds
sterling, and the trial is apredestlned and
foredoomed farce and failure. The court
is a little central figure surrounded by an
immense crowd of hostile* in a high state
of inflammation.
It bad impaneled a jury on Tuesday
last, no doubt,a* a matter of fact, commit
ted to acquittal or failure to convict, on
pain of death. The trial, therefore,
but a gorgeous spectacle of utter helpless
ness and frustration, and so far as a pa
rade of military force is concerned, one
can only say it is not applicable to the oc
casion, and only makes II mors ridiculous
A hundred - thousand “flowers of the'
British army” would not stiffen a Juror to
render a verdict which would expose bias
to an assassin’s knife or pistol every time
he passed a bush or turned a street cor
ner. The point of actual conflict will
arise when Parliament suspends tbe
habeas corpus—-military law Is declared,
and “tbe flower of the British army” is
used to disarm tbs people—disperse Land
League meetings tod generally reestab
lish British rale, writable ®ow a shadow.
Have Ton Paid Tour Pastor!
The above pertinent inquiry the writer
has been in the habit of propound
ing for a series of years to the readers of
the Telegraph and Messenger upon
the advent of every New Year’s day.
It addresses itself to ‘each adult or
head of a family ybo is a believer in the
Christian religion and worships at the
shrine of God’s sanctuary.
The recipient of the stated instruction
and pulpit ministrations of any man of
God,of whatever evangelical creed, surely
is morally and honorably bound to aid
in his material support. The “laborer is
worthy of his hire,” and this is eminently
true in the case of a pastor, who is usually
denied the privilege of supplementing his
income by engaging in secular pursuits.
If the general beliover (though perhaps a
non-professor) is thus called upon to aid
in the work of conserving the public mor
als and welfare of the community by help
ing to sustain the ordained ministry of the
church, how much more imperatively does
it devolve upon those whose names
are solemnly enrolled among
the people of God to stand by tbe
devoted heralds of the Cross, who havo
forsaken all to follow Jesusrand labor in
His vineyard. Their trials and hardships
are many; their self-abnegation most
wonderful; their trust in God oft-times
sublime, and the pittance they usu
ally receive wholly inadequate to cover
the ordinary demands of the humblest
household. Yet even this slender stipend
is frequently denied or curtailed to pro
portions which ought to call the blush of
shame to the cheek of every church mem
ber.
Therefore, again, we emphatically ask,
“Have you paid your pastor ?" If you
have not, leave the new year’s turkey un
touched; pause in the midst of your busy
calculations for another year; make haste
and delay not to repair the wrong you
have inflicted, not upon the potsherd
man, but the Great Jehovah himself, who
said: “Inasmuch ye did it not unto the
least of these, ye did it not to me.”
We venture the assertion that taken you
have paid your pastor (not in chips and
whetstones, but in good coin
currency) every cent that
is his due, then will the pleas
ures of the season be enjoyed with a keen
er zest, and your head repose more sweet
ly upon its pillow when tbe day’s labors
are ended, and another year has been
inaugurated. Yes, pay your pastor thank
fully, honestly and gladly. Ye may not
rob God and prosper.
The Fiercest Arctic Wave.
Talking about last Thursday as the
coldest ever seen in Macon, we have been
advised by a friend to consult oar own
files in 1835 for a colder, when the orange
trees in Florida were killed—the Ocmul-
gee froze over, and the thermometer reg
istered two below zero. But we are not
yet prepared to recall our words. We
learn that Prof. Daly, who is the official
representative ot the government in Ma
con as to meteorological facts, records the
temperature at Fio Nono College on
Thursday last at three degrees below zero,
according to tbe approved instruments in
his office. There is considerable dis
crepancy in the thsrmometrical report*
from various parts of Macon and vicinity,
but that of Prof. Daly should be con-,
elusive.
Bet. B. F. BaaxDLOvn.—We extend
a cordial welcome to tbe new pastor of tbe
First Street Methodist church, Ber. B. F.
Breedlove, who lias just entered upon tbe
discharge of bis ministerial duties. Tbe
writer formed his acquaintance several
years since in Cuthbert,and learned to
respect and esteem him highly fer bis
many lovely traits of character. A more
gentle spirit, truer friend or humble Chris
tian cannot be found within tbe bounds of
tbe conference. In bis intercourse with
tbo pastors of other denominations, also,
he Is ever kind and liberal. Tbe best
proof of this was to be found In tbe close
intimacy which existed between Mr.
Breedlove and the excellent pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Cuthbert, Bey.
James S. Cozby. Their friendship was
like tbat of David and Jonathan. The
congregation of the First Street church
will soon learn to appreciate and love
their worthy pastor, and we trust his so
journ among them will be both profitable
and pleasant to pastor and people.
The company which bas been founded
for taking preliminary steps to ascertain
whether a submarine tunnel can be made
between Calais and Dover bas at last suc
ceeded in driving a shaft down to tbe
depth at which the tunnel, if practicable,
would have to be made. Although in
tbe upper strata there was a good deal of
water, there is no infiltration of it in Um
gallery, which is in the solid rock. A
second shaft Is about to bo driven, and tbo
directors say that if no unforeseen obstacle
arises tbe tunnel might be computed in
four years.

All TJnprapusd tor Arctic Weather.
Tbe recent wave from the Artie circle
bas taught ae all bow totally unprepared
wp are for a low temperature, either in
respect to personal comfort or tbo comfort
and safety of tbe brute creation around
To begin at tbe beginning, tbe vast
majority of our houses are unfit for cold
weather. They are covered only with
half-inch wiatherboardiug and each board
leaves free scope for tbe external atmos
phere ail round it. It is not bevelled, and
there ia nothing tbat can be called a fit—
impervious to rain or cold. Strip off the
plastering inside, and the house would be
no warmer than out-doors. Now, the
office of a dwelling Is to exclude the cold
air outside and prevent the escape of the
fire-heat in the inside. In Northern coun
tries tbe wooden house Is first covered
closely with inch boards tongued and
grooved, and then with bevelled weather-
boarding called clap-boards; and this
gives an almost air-tight enclosure. The
floors are also double, L e., made of two
Uyera of inch stuff, breaking joints. I£ is
then ae impervious a defense against cold
and wet as a brick or stone structure.
Our stables and out-houses have also
clamored for reform. All our dumb crea
tures have suffered from exposure, and as
a matter of safety our horses should be
shod with calked shoes—that Is to say
each shoe Bhould have three projections
from the lower surface, about an half Inch
long, which give the animal a foothold on
the ice and snow. It is pitiable to see.a
horse slip in the efiort to drag a vehicle
up bill or hold it back going down; and
the effort is dangerous to horse and rider.
Another lesson is, keep a better store of
fuel. The leisure of summer aud fall
and the dry roads are the time and op
portunity to lay In winter supplies of fire
wood and coal, and not many Maconlans
will forget the impressive lesson they are
now receiving. We may blame the rail
roads, but we cannot spare ourselves.
The railroads, no doubt, could do five
times tbe transportation they now per
form, if they had the locomotives and
rolling stock; but they are never going to
have a surplus for emergencies and times
of pressure. They are not going to keep
unemployed and reserve stock on hand,
and will always measure their possessions
by the measure of demand in ordinary
cropping seasons. The man of family
who encounters winter without a supply
of fuel, if he can possibly buy it, is far
more inexcusable tbau tbo railroads, and
has no right to assail them on any score.
But the roads should do their utmost in
this emergency.
The office of 3I0thing is to retain the
heat generated in the body by the circu
lation of the blood and the decomposition
of food. The cold of the past week has
approached very nearly a point when
woolen clothing is powerless to prevent
freezing on account of its porosity. With
weather below zero, it cannot be depend
ed upon, and humanity has to resort to
skins of fur-bearing animals, which are
impervious to the escape or entrance of
the atmosphere. Good, thick woolens
will do well enough for us; but they should
be provided and should cover the persou
It is a pity to see the little girls, with their
short skirts and long legs, the latter cov
ered only, in most cases, perhaps, with a
single thickness of not very warm stock
ing. That such little ones should suffer
and contract violent and dangerous colds
is a matter inevitable. But we will not
further pursue the natural suggestions o.
this arctic visitation. They will, we have
no doubt, modify household and personal
arrangements a good deal in tho future.
A Happy New Year.
This is a common expression, and often
times very thoughtlessly employed. It
glides glibly from the tongue, but, by the
majority of people, as slightly understood
and honestly meant as the more universal
“Good-bye; I wish you well.” Was there
ever a happy year to mortals given? In
this world there is a continual mixture of
happiness and sorrow, of sunshine and
shadow. The tendency of our natures is
to the gloomy side of life. Although there
are more bright spots than dark ones in
our pilgrimage, we forget the good and
remember only the evil that ever-
takes us. If we will only enter
into the inner temple of our being
and analyze our feelings and thoughts, and
our purposes and designs for the future,
we will be astonished at the selfishness
that has taken possession of our natures.
We wish our neighbor well, In so far as
hu interests do not interfere with
our own cherished schemes, but where it
demands a sacrifice of our imaginary
comfort, the expression is meaningless—
the good wish is from the lips only
But to-dsy let us put aside the selfish
ness of our hearts, aud let the better self
manifest its presence. Let us think more
of the mercies, and not so much of the
misfortunes that have followed our path
way. It will enable us to smooth off
many of the rough places of life, and
heighten our enjoyment of the good
things which have been so profusely pro
vided. We are apt to say, “there is no
sorrow like my sorrow,” and yet within
a short distance of our homes there are
others “who are bereft of hope, and beg
gared by grief.”
As we gather around our warm firesides
to-day, let ns remember tbat tbe snow
and wind and the hail do not spare the
poor. Tbe rigor of the elements, it is
true, cannot be overcome, but much can
be done to assuage its effects by the ten
derness of human charity. Let us not
say “a happy Now Year” and then put
forth no effort or employ a single energy
to make it even a tolerable year to the
suffering. A curse was pronounced in the
Good Book against those who say, “Be ye
clothed and be ye warmed,” and then
make no efforts to supply the wants of the
needy.
Again, to-day is a good time to enter
into new covenants with self. It Is fool
ishness to ssjr that it is vain to resolve
anew- We believe in llio value of good
resolves, and because many resolves Lave
failed, that is no reason for despair. If
ws neglect to prop and sustain our char
acters with pure and honest motives, and
persistent effort, we are sure to retr^gade
discipline to keep ourselves unspotted in
tbe world. But may the year 1881 not
be marred by these destroying evils enter
ing into our lives, but may the year bo
marked by a grander development of char
acter than any former year of our exist
ence.
Mother Shipton’s Prophecy.
The appended “Mother Shipton’s Proph
ecy” bas been copied by a correspondent
of tbe Globe from a work published A. D.
1448, and now in the British Museum:
Carriages without horses Ah all go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkle of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
How strange, yet shall he true.
The world upside down shall be, [tree.
And gold shall be found at the root of a
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse nor ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall bo seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron In the water shall float
As easy as a wooden Lost.
Gold shall be found and shown
In land tbat is not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit a Jew.
Tbe world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
The above statement appears in one of
Yennor’s Almanacs,published in Montreal,
Canada. The doggerel vaticination itself
has often gone the rounds of the newspa
pers for tho past twenty years, and never
have we seen a serious attempt to disprove
the statement that such a prophecy was
actually made aud published hundreds of
years before steam engines, railroads,
magnetic telegraphy, or iron ships were
ever heard of. It is a curiosity of litera
ture to ascertain whether the prophecy
does appear as stated, in a work bearing
date 1448, and now in the British Mus
eum. It is certain that for years, in ev&
ry household, gossips have been repeating
the final couplet of the prophecy with no
positive faith in it, but still with wonder
ing curiosity whether the old witch who
anticipated so much is at fault about ber
culminating prediction. What is the
true history of this often re-published
prophecy?
The Colombia Theological Seminary.
The numerous alumni and friends of
that revered and venerable “school of tbe
prophets,” the Presbyterian seminary, at
Columbia, South Carolins t will be rejoiced
to learn that there is every prospect that
the sum needed to re-endow the institu
tion is in a fair way of being raised, and
its sacred portals re-opened to those who
contemplate devoting themselves to the
study of the ministry. The Courier-Jour
nal says:-
Tlio Presbyterian people of South Caro
lina and Georgia, after a struggle of sever
al years to keep open their Theological
Seminary which formerly had an en
dowment of some $250,000 and had and
bas still a theological library of 20,000
volumes, were obliged at last to close tho
institution by reason of tbe loss of a great
part of its endowment during the war and
the persecutions whicli followed it. But
with true Christian courage they resolved,
tins autumn, to re-endow and re-open the
institution. The Synod of South Carolina
resolved to raise $20,000, notwithstanding
its poverty, and theSynodsof Georgia and
Alabama pledged their share of aid also.
In hopes of raising Some $10,000 by an
appeal to their brethren m oth, r synods
having no local interest in Clio school, Dr.
Girardeau was urgently requested to be
come their sp>kesman. In fulfillment of
hL- mission,- ho appeared before the
Second Presbyterian cburch of Louisville
last Sunday morning. Tbe result of bis
eloquent appeal, seconded by tbe pastor,
was a contribution of some $1,800, which
will probably reach $2,000 when members
absent on Sunday are heard from. This
is certainly a most graceful tribute to the
perseverauce aud courage of their South

that their brethren in Nashville, Mem

that this is tho school in which Drs.

and Drs. Woodrow and Girardeau more
recently, have figured as professors, it is
not surprising that our Presbyterian
people feel an interest in it.
In addition to the above,Dr. Girardeau
collected $700 in Nashville for the same
purpose, and to-day will present the cause
of the seminary to the people of New

in that opulent city, it is hoped that an
other large accession will be made to the

WEABY OF A HERMIT’S LIFE.
JLs*kl*| tor • Wife Alter a badj
Alto «r Forty Years In a Ditaal
Cave.
Dinohah’s Ferry, Penn., December
10.—Austin Sheldon, who bat lived a her
mit’s life for over forty years in a deep
aud dismal cave in the wildt of Lehman
township, Pike county, eight miles from
this place, bat recently come to the con
clusion tbat he could enjoy the remainder
of his days more comfortably by taking
unto himself a wife. He has always,
until within a few months, expressed a
bitter hatred for the fair sex, in conse
quence of a disappointment in love when
be was a young man.
Sheldon was born in Connecticut, near
the village of Bradford, in 1800. He
lived at home, his father being a wealthy
farmer, until arriving at man’s estate.
Then he became enamored of a
young and accomplished woman
in the immediate neighborhood, and
they became engaged. Tbe woman’s par
ents were averse to the match, and broke
it off by sending their daughter to a dis
tant boarding-school. She was sent away
in the night without Sheldon’s knowledge.
As soon as Sheldon learned that she had
gone he started nut to find her. He trav
eled from Slate to State, and spent the
greater part of his money in the search.
At length, failing to find her, be grew de
spondent and threatened to take bis own
life. t
One night, after the family bad retired,
Sheldon deserted his home without tbe
knowledge of his parents. His prolonged
absence alarmed the family, who, after
scouring the neighborhood in vain for the
missing man, came to the conclusion that
be had committed suicide, as he bad re
peatedly threatened. A reward for his
restoration to his family, dead
or alive, was offered, but nothing
same of it. After 'waiting montlis in the
hope of receiving some tidings of the ab
sent oue, the family gave up all hope of
ever seeing him' again. They firmly be
lieved that he was dead, until a few years
ago his whereabouts was made known by
a paragraph in the Sun. Sheldon walked
from Connecticut to Milford, the County
seat of Pike county, Pa., where he pur
chased a smah, uucultivated,tract of land
m Lehman township. As there was no
clearing within several miles of him, and
baviug no money to build a house, he
sought a cave in the rocks, and subsisted
on fruit aud game. Day by day Sheldon
grew more averse to seeing anyone,
and for years he would secrete himself if
he saw a stranger passing near his abode.
But of recent years be has growu more
sociable, aud strangers are welcomed to
bis dismal cave.
Sheldon has lived without a companion
of any kind for upward of torty years,
and, notwithetanding his advanced age,
and thejact that he has had many hair
breadth escapes from death by animals,
forest fires aud exposure to the cold, he
still expresses his intention of spending
the remainder of his days in his gloomy
abode. He has for the past two years
been receiving letters from relatives in
Connecticut, urging him to abandon his
wretched home aud return to his native
State, where he might live and not want,
but to all such entreaties he has turned a
deaf ear. His quarters are about the
same to-day as they were when he
began bis hermit life, only tbe
surrouuding country is more thickly
populated. The old hermit uses no stove,
but does Ills cooking over a stone fire
place. He sleeps in an old rocking-cbair,
and uses blocks of wood for chairs. He
bas no light at night, except that coming
from the fire-place. He has notshaved in
over forty years, and a thick shaggy beard
covers his face, and his hair is a grizzly
gray. He is as deaf as an adder, and
lias been so for several years. Persons
who 7isit him through curiosity, converse
with him by writing on a slate.
Notwithstanding tue land tbe hermit
owns is not worth the taxes, lie entertains
the belief that untold wealth lies buried
beneath tbe surface. He is continually
exploring among tbe rocks in the hope of
discovering some kind ot mineral. Since
lie has taken it into bis head to marry he
lias been continually on the road in search
of a companion. He called at the house
ot a young and respectable widow a few
weeks ago and offered to marry ber. The
woman made no reply,but seizing a kettle
of boiling water, caused tbo intruder to
make a hasty retreat. Sheldon bas since
been making matrimonial calls in another
direction, lie is a fit subject for a lunatic
asylum. He is growing very feeble, and
his death by freezing may be recorded be
fore the close of the present month.—New

that if it was necessary he would give his

Trad® Review.
New York, December SI—The Ebert-
ing Express, in its annual review of the
pest year’s business of the country, says:
“Viewed from a business standpoint, the
year has been a remarkable one.probably
the most remarkable one in the history
of the country. There bas been a great
revival in trade, and tbe volume of legit
imate business during tbe year was oe-
yond all precedent. Tnis improved con
dition of affairs was the natural result of
the large crops, tbe good export demand
for our products, the growth of the coun
try, the he%ry influx of gold from Europe
and the complete restoration of confidence
growing out of the success of specie pay
ments.
“One of the most gratifying features of
1860 has been tbe great falling off in the
number of failures and the amount of tbe
liabilities of suspended merchants. The
growth of tbe country and large additions
to the national wealth during 1880 are
strikingly illustrated in the products of the
soil, of which we raise 475,000,000 bushels
of wheat, 155,000,000 bushels of corn,
413,000,000 bushels of oats, 24,000,000
bushels of rye, 40,000,000 bushels of
barley and. 6,000,000 bates of cotton,
to say nothing of tbe tobacco,
sugar, rice, hemp, bay, aud other
crops, and hogs and dairy products, which
yield an immense sum of money in the
aggregate. In plain words, tbe United
States now raises enough to feed her
50,000,000 of people and to supply the de
ficiency of the balance of tbe civilized
world.
“During the year more miles of
railroad have been built, more consolida
tions aud combinations have been entered
into, more freight and passengers have
been transported, more money earned aud
more interest and dividends paid than in
any former year. The commerce of the
country during tbe past year bas
made rapid progress aud caused the Unit
ed States to take a still higher rank, being
now third among the commercial nations
of the globe.”
Cold Day*.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger; At
my residence, on Tatnail Square, about 8
a. m. of yesterday, December 30tb, an ac
curate mercurial thermometer, made ac
cording to the Smithsonian standard,
showed 4| degrees above zero. A six de
gree, seif-registering, alcohol thermome
ter, in the third story of Mercer Universi
ty, also registered 5 degees above zero as
the minimum for the prerious 24 hours.
Both were hungoutside the buildings with
a free, northern exposure.
The same mercurial thermometer show
ed a cold of 11 degrees above zero, at tbe
student’s hall, January 19th, 1873. This
day was signalized by the first death from
meningetis (a servant of Mercer Universi
ty) of tbat memorable period.
About the first of Jauuary 1852, the
thermometer was said to have marked 2
degrees above zero, at Penfield, Greene
county, and zero at Athens. This would
have indicated about 4 or 5 degrees above
zero at Macon. Tbe writer was in Macon
at the time, but had no access to a ther
mometer.
But the coldest day of “the oldest in
habitant ” was in 1835. It Is generally
known as “tlie cold Saturday.” Col. J.
B. Ross, late of this city, told me in the
year 1S7G, that the “cold Saturday” was
February 8, 1835, that the 7th, 8U1 and
9th were all cold days, and that tbe Oc-
uiulgee was frozen over. Co). W. B.
Johnson, of this city, told the writer about
the same lime, tbat Sunday morning, the
9th, was tho coldest; tbat lie went fiom a
fire which had broken out on Poplar
street on that morning to his store on
Mulberry street, and that his thermome
ter showed a temperature of six degrees
below zero. It is probable that Saturday
was tbe most unpleasant day to tho tool
ings, but tbat the greatest cold occurred
on the morning ofSunday, February 9th.
Borne of your correspondents may throw
more light on this fertile subject of tbe
season. There will be no more opportune
occasion for putting “on record” facts of
this nature.
Respectfully, .* J. E. Wielkt.

How She Dressed So Quickly.—The
New York fashion correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer writes that, on enter
ing the dressing room oi an actress friend
at a theatre, slio saw spread out on a
chair an elaborate dress of satin and vel
vet, a peculiarity of which was that all
the bows and other ornaments were al
ready fastened in place, and tlie garment
was open in front from neck to hem,
though so contrived that the juncticu
would not be visible when worn. This
arrangement was to avoid delay, and how
the actress made a complete change of
costume in less than five minutes is de
scribed as follows: “First, she picked up
a pair of gloves aud began to put them on.
At tbe same time her maid unbooked her
dress from top lo bottom with quick, deft
fingers, and stripped off the whole garment
in a twinkling. She seated herself and
extended her feet for the maid to take off
the shoes and stockings. The latter being
stripped over the feet in a jiffy, dis
closed clock silk hose, so that the fresh
pair were already on. By the time tbe
slippers were in place the actress had got
the last button of ber gloves into its but
ton-hole. A minute and a half bad elaps
ed Then the maid took off several pulls
and a bow from her mistress’ head—
her hair in the previous set having been
simply dressed—and put on a more elabo
rate blonde wig t fastening it in place with
hair pins. Next tbe actress stood up, and
the maid swiftly put her into the dress
that had lain on the chair. Every part of
it fell admirably into place, plentiful
hooks and eyes bolding ail together.
Standing before a full-length mirror she
finally surveyed herself critically, at just
three minutes and a half from the start.
Haifa minute more was employed in put
ting additional rouge and powder ou the
face, and then she was ready to go on tbe
stage.” _

ME ABBOTT MBS.
Sosckcref tbsintrleaa suga.
The Western reporters have goue reck
lessly into the psychology of the “Abbott
kiss.” - There is something about it, tf we
are to believe these mad wags, tbat stim
ulates investigation. One of them de
clares that it ha* breadth but no death,
and mother has detected a sectarian
flavor in it. Still another, whose investi
gations have evidently been hi tbe line of
wardrobe, insists tbat it is - “cut bias.”
The two cities of Chicago and St. Louis,
having got into'an inextricable wrangle
ever this delicate psycbolongical ques
tion, there was nothing to do but lo inter
view the lady herself bn the subject, and a
St. Louis reporter, to use his own words,
“tackled her m her boudoir.”
As everything that Miss Abbott says is
fraught with a fine inner sense of Abbott
aud art, and as stage kissing is a phase of
dramatic work which may be said to be
unexploited, this interview has a peculiar
interest.
We can only call the reader’s attention
to the marvelous ingenuousness of the
lady aud the naive frankness with which
she disclosed tbe real secret of tbo
“Abbott kiss,” which, of cocrae, Is ear
nestness. The reporter tells bis story In
the following direct manner:
“I want to know something about the
art of osculation, or the osculation of art,
Miss Abbott,” said the reporter, feeling
that it was possible to bare a worse sub
ject of conversation than kissing and kiss
es between a young lady and an inex
perienced and guileless young man who
was devoting his life to the acquisition of
wisdom.
“Well—but—now—you know,” blushed
the scribe, “everybody bas more or less to
say about the ‘Abbott kiss,’ and so, en
tirely in the pursuit of information, I
must know something about it.”
“What can I tell you that you do not
know about kissing? Every one who has
a mouth can kiss. Remember, there are
kisses and kisses, and you may believ*
me when I tell you that tbe stage kiss is a
cold, dim, pale phantom —unsatisfactory,
elusive and empty compared to the kiss of
love. I know what both are. Do you?”
“Well, I think 1 can guess at some of
the conditions of the latter kiss,” admitted
tbo reporter. “1 have some vague, gen
eral views about It, which have never
been crystallized into practice. If it could
be Illustrated now?”
“But it can’t, you kuow."
“On your part, perhaps, but on mine—”
The reporter would probably have made
a well rounded and effective remark if
Miss Abbott bad not at this point touch-
inciy asked him if he would eat au apple.
The topic was spoiled; no amount of in
terviewing could evolve Miss Abbott’s
views on the kiss. All tbat she could be
got to admit was tbat the balcony scene
in Romeo and Juliet was copied troru a
painting of Anthony and Cleopatra which
sbe bad seen at Milan. “People talk about
what they are pleased to call Ibe Abbott
kiss,” said she, “altogether forgetting that
if the scene is not made realistic it would
be utterly flat, stale and unprofitable. I
will not sing roles like Traviata, of which
I do not approve, but those which I do
act 1 will act with my whole heart and
soul, witii all the art which God has
given me. I have never sung yet that I
was not accused of being in love with
tlie tenor^just because I sing and act in
dead earnest. Tbat is wbat realism in
art means.”
So much for the positive kiss. The stu
dents ot comparative kissing, who will, of
course, look over the whole field in a his
toric way, will have to take into consider
ation the various schools of osculation.
There was tbe Platonic kiss of Kellogg,
who used lo fling them like icicles with
her fiuger-tips, aud os Sher Campbell once
said, there were chilblains In them. Then
there was the Presbyterian kiss of Ada
Dyas, who used to plant it on Montague’s
left ear, or on tbe back of his neck
and always created au impression
in the gallery that she had bit him ; and
tbe Lotta bubble, which always .sounded
like tbe pulling of a cork, and seemed to
be a number of linked kisses effervescing;
and the Corinthian kiss of Wainwrigbt—
a severe affair, somewhat motherly,
and when dropped upon a stock-actor, al
ways frightened him a little bit—as if he
bad pulled a New Testament out of his
pocket instead of a pack of cards; and tbe
Carey kiss—ah! The romantic kiss, that
never began anywhere and never ended—
that ran down tbe back and tingled In the
arms aud legs, and made the hair stand
on end, and was accompanied with laugh
ter, whose echoes were undying; and the
cavernous Soidene kiss, tbat opened its
ponderous and marble jaws, with a report
like tbe bursting of an India-rubber bal
loon.
Who (bail formulate all these qgjiools
for us ? Certainly not Abbott; foxier 1 *
is the spiritual kiss, and we are not edu
cated up to it.
