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. The Savannah Newß says a tur tle weighing 326 pounds,* five feet and a half long,and four feet broad, was caught iu the Ogeechee river ' last week. W. W.
