Josh Billings on Marriage-
By awl means, Joe, get married,
if you liev a fair show. Don't
stand shivering on the bank, but
pitch rite iu and stick your bead
under and Bhiver it out. Thar ain't
any more trick in getting married
than thar is in eating pennnts.
Many a man has stood shivering on
the shore until the rivet run out.
Don't expect to marry an augel—
they have been all picked up loDg
ago. Remember. Joe, yon ain't a
saint yourself. Do not marry for
beauty exclusively—beauty is like
ice, awfully slippery and thrsws
dreadfully easy. Don't marry for
luv, neither, luv is like a cookiug
stove, good for nothing when the
fuel gives out. But let the mix.
ture be some beauty, becomingly
dressed, with about two hundred
and fifty dollars in herpocket,a gud
speller, handy and neat in her
house, plenty of good sense, tnff
constitution and by-laws, small feet,
a light step; add to this sound teeth
and a warm heart. Tho mixture
will keep in any climate and will
not evaporate. Don't marry for
pedigree,unless its backed by bauk
notes. A family with nothing but
pedigree generally lacks sense.
Education in Georgia.
New York Herald.
The schoolmaster seems to be
marching through Georgia at a very
lively placo. Ten years ago the
wbito pupils in the public schools
of th slate numbered less thnu
forty three thousand and the color
ed less than seveu thousand, since
that period each year lirs witnessed
a steady improvement in the scans
dalous condition ot affairs, and, ac
cording to tho statistics just pulr
ished, the school attendance to
day is more than four times larger
thau it was at tho period referred
to, or, in, other words, nearly a
quarter of a million. A glance at
the report made by the coannis
commirtsioaer of shown that
the colored children have not been lg
nor.d or forgotten by the authorities.
In round figures tho white pupils num
ber one hundred and titty thousand and
the colored eighty six ifiousiliid. The
disheartening leaturo of the situation is
that the appropriation for the purpose is
ridiculously small, the total amount from
all sources state, county and town fie*
iug only about half a million dollars. It
is to be hoped the new measures sugges
ted for the increase of the educational
laud will lio adopted. To educate its
illiterates is the first and highest duty ol
every state, and it is worso thau folly to
to hesite at.tlio cost.
The New South.
Mohilu Register.
Tboro is a good deal of talk just
now about the “new south," as if iu
some wonderful and almost mirac
ulous way tho naturo nnd disposi
tion of our people had become to
tally changed since the result of the
presidential election. There is a
“new south," but it is not tho re
sult of any sudden change among
our people, it is the result of steady
effort and industrious labor for
years past, of local self government,
of the downfall of earpet-bag rule,
and of our people gradually adapt
ing themselves to the now condi
tion of affairs brought about by the
results of tho war. The present
condition of this seotion proves that
the south has not spent its time
idly mourning over the ).ast, but
has looked forward with hope and
courage to the future. While her
detractors have underrated her en
terprise and industry, sho has quiet
ly worked on, anil the result of her
work is now her answer to them.
Taxation.
The law of Taxation is universal.
Its justice is in its equality. It is
the hardest money to pay in all
the catalogue of expenditures, but
its benefits are reciprocal in its
protection of life, liberty and prop
erty. Notwithstanding that the
law in Georgia requires tho giving
in of all taxable property at its trite
value, the penalty of dereliction is
not certain, consequently the
amount of evasion and duplicity
practiced, is alarmingly frequent,
and discreditable to the moral
character of man. If property in
every instance was given in at its
true market value, the burdens of
taxation on the tax payers would be
light. But how it is to be accom
plished is a mystery beyond finding j
out, Human nature is peculiar.—
Marietta Journal.
A Troy lawyer asked a woman
on the witness stand her age, and
she promptly replied: ‘I sold milk
for you to drink when a baby, and
I haven't got my pay yet.
'Sir,' said a vainglorious actor to
Charles K>an, during a rehearsal,
‘you n<-ed not tumble yourself
about me; I know the play back
ward.' ‘Probably you do,' was the
reply—but that is not the way I
play it.'
Why Some People fail to
Succeed-
They are lazy,
i They neglect'details.
I They overlook the small things.
They have no eye to business.
They hope for fortune to drop in
their laps.
They let their Ihelp waste and de
stroy.
They let their firesjburn at will.
They are slovenly in their hab
its.
They let their shops get filthy
and dirty.
They try how cheap they can do
everything.
They fail to advertise.
They have too mueh outside
business.
They talk politics too much.
They fail to invent or have new
idens.
They are penny wise and pound
foolish.
They imitate their neighbors.
They aro not polite or accommo.
dating,
They think most things tako too
much trouble.
They fail to push business.
They know not the best is the
cheapest.
They know not the power of
method.
They are illiberal to homo enter
prises.
They attend to everything but
their own business.
They become rusty and lose am
bition.
State Depositories.
The people of Georgia will learn,
by-nnd-by, says the Chattanooga
Times, that the place for tho State's
money is in its own vaults, anil not
in those of a parcel of banks seat
tered about over tho State. When
they havo lost a fow hundred thou
sands, and broken a few more
banks by first cramming and then
depleting them, both the people
and legitimate bankers will bid the
treasury attend to its own business
and let the bank attend to theirs.
Experience is a dear school, but
fools will learn in no other, and
clearly the delegates composing the
Into Georgia Constitutional Con
vention deserve to be called fools,
for not putting a slop to the cus
tom of the State treasury being a
partner in a list of pet shava shops.
He Has Sense and Judgment-
Thoniasvillfl Times.
Every time a republican senator
attacks Joe Brown he is sent limp
ing and howling from tho conflict.
Your undo Joseph is just a leetle
too much for any of them. And
they are fust finding it out, too.
Alluding to Senator Brown's latest
speoch, the best of tho series and
Iho most powerful and adroit yet
made in llie special session, a fel
low senator said: ‘Brown has more
strong sense and judgment than
anyone iu the senate, and any mail
who tackles him expecting to get
the best of the contest, shows lack
of discretion.'
Jim Webster sighed heavily.
‘What's de matter, Jim?' asked
Undo Mose, in a sympathizing
tone. ‘1 bus made up my mind to
quit de chickon business. Ise tir
ed being arrested arid hiring law
yers, and babin folks ask, ‘Wbar's
my chickens ?' when I passes down
on Galveston avenue. lam gwine
to go inter a business whar I'll be
respected, and whar do police won't
nebber bodder me no moah.' ‘ W hat
business am dat, Jim ?' 'Gam
bling.'
‘Mr. Gilhooly,' said a diminutive
boy, with a handful of bills, ‘when
aro you going to pay this bill for
them boots jou have got on ?
‘How old are you, sonny?' ‘Ten
years old.' ‘Go tell your pa you
have too much curiosity for your
age,'—Galveston News.
To the Turks belong the credit of
first adopting the extensive use of
gunpowder in war. In tho latter
part ot tho ninth century the By
zantine Emperor Deo introduced
‘fire tubes.' Moors and Christians
used artillery as eaily as the twelvth
century iu Spain.
A clergyman lias been lecturing
on ‘The Four Johns of History,'
and doesn't mention either John
Smith or Demi John. And ho calls
that history.—Philadelphia Bulle
tin.
Judge—See here, prisoner, if you
do any more lying you won't got
off with three years. Prisoner --But,
judge, hew many years d'ye a'p
pose y‘d gimme it I told the
trooth ?
An Irishman,who was very near
sighted, about to fight a duel, in -
sisted that he should stand six
paces nearer to his antagonist than
the other did to him, nnd they
were both to tire at the same time.
