forty-three years. My grandfather deliv
ered up his sword to General George
Washington. On the 15th day of Novem
ber, 1868, I was struck down with Parula
sis, so that I could not move hand nor foot.
My right side continued paralized, and I
could not use my hand. I procured one
bottle of Mansfield & Higbee's Magic Ar

it has reKeved me entirely. I con now

"Georgia Prospect*."
Under this heading the Philadelphia
I _Worth American has an editorial article
; giving a bright picture of the future of
i Georgia. We make the following ex
! tracts:
In fact Georgia has reached the point
| where it is not driven by necessity, und is
; in condition to improve some of its many
und mighty advantages. It has cotton,
coal, wood, iron, gypsum. It seeks to
populate its pastures; to complete its lines
of railway; to obtain capital by former
crops and new investments; and then to
add manufactures to this recovery and
thereby Becut e settled population by whom
all the possibilities can be carried forward
abreast and harmoniously; “to have Geor
gia, covered with cotton that supplies her
\ cotton mills, raising the iron that supplies
her furnaces and mills; growing the grain
and grazing the herds and flocks that feed
her laborers and sustain her manufac
tures.’'
Perhaps no Southern State has so vigor
ously and intelligently improved in the
last few years as Georgia. It is true that
a fortunate situation, fine climate and
multiplied resources rendered these re
sources easier than it is in many States,
but it is equally true that the spirit whs as
wise as the resources were abundant. Pol
itics were subordinated to industry; the
hurmoniziug of old creeds with new prue- 1
tices was left for a time, and every man '
took hold. * * * * The in- j
staut, therefore, approaches when the |
agriculture that furnishes the textile, and j
the miuing that provides coal und ore, j
and the farming that yields food, will!
unite and create those manufacturing in
dustries, already more than begun, to j
which the State looks to completement j
what it is aud has done und affect whnt it j
may do. Those who aro counting the
Southern future err unless they reckon
this integer, and even then fall short un j
less they recognize the same advantages in j
some near measure, and much of the same j
spirit and ability in Alabama, East Ten
nessee, Western North Carolina, and Vir- ‘
ginia aud Kentucky. And w ith such re- j
sources in full headway, what are the j
limits to be placed to the wealth of this \
region ?—what >s the power it will not ex- j
ort ?

26.—Gen. P. M. B. Young of Ga., was to- ;
day appointed by Speaker Plain as one of !
the board of Visitors to West Point on .
the part of the House of Representatives.
Thirteen years ago General Young left the 1
Military Academy there to join his for
tunes with those of his State.
The latest and a rather significant novel- 1
ty in Paris is the npuearance of apparently
genuine five franc pieces with the imprint
of the head of young Napoleon, and the
words, Napoleon IV Empereur, ou the
one side, and the imperial arms on the
other. The word “Essui,” engraved in
small letters on the coin, protects it against
government interference.
Maine Indians. —There ure two Indian
tribes in Maine, the Passamaquoddies and
the Penobscotts, and each are represented
in the Legislature by one of their own
number, These two repretentatives of
the red man take no part in legislation,
butjare allowed to draw their pay just the
sume as the representatives of the white
man. They spend most of their time du
ring the session in the rotunda engaged in
pipe smoking aud cliating with each other
in the dialect of their fathers.

A Sensible Resolution. —The Rockford
(Ala.) Grange has adopted this resolution:
“That we will retrench our expenditures
for dress and living, aud confiue them to
articles actually necessary for decency,
comfort and good health, and will deny
oureevles as far as possible the purchase of
such things, both as to dress and living, as
' are superfluous.” This resolution, rigidly
i enforced throughout the South would be
worth millions to the agriculturalists of
this section.
Suits under the Civil Rights Bill.—
! Judge Lynch, of the fourth District Court
j at New Orleans, has awarded the following
i amounts to colored claimants in suits
under the civil rights hill: One thousand
dollars to Joseph rs. Bidwell, proprietor
j of the Academy of Music, for refusing him
! admission; $250 each to George Wash
! iDgton and Lewis vs. McCloskey for
j refusing to sell them soda water; and $250
i to Clermont vs. O’Neil, for refusing to sell
him a drink. These cases were decided
by the judge in conformity with the law
passed by the recent Louisiana Legisla
! ture, the juries failing to agree.
j New Foe to Cotton.— The cotton plant
| has anew enemy. Its appearance and
! ravages are thus described in the Natchez
! Democrat-Courier of the 21st instant: We
: are informed by a gentleman residing
three miles from the city that anew enemy
:to the cotton plant has made its appear
ance on his place, being a small black
snail. These may be seen in countless
numbers all over the fields, and as soon
as the first two leaves of the cotton make
their appearanoe above ground, these
! pests “go for them” and eat them, totally
| destroying the stand. About half of the
i crop was up and has thns been destroyed,
, making it necessary to replant. These
snails work some on the young corn also,
: but will not damage it much.
I>r. Beard is of opinion that the in
tellect reaches its maximum development
iat the age of forty, after which it begins
to decay. He not only thinks that men
lose intellectual power after this age, but
that they become worse, often much
worse.as they become older; that they lose
their moral enthusiasm, or moral courage,
or capacity of resisting temptation and
enduring dinppointment, and frequently
sink into senile debauchees.

The Star snvs, regarding the claims bill,
w! ic'i in u'es over a thousand mimes,
that it is quite probable that the bill,
! which passed the House Home time ago,
I for the payment of the awards of the
Southern claims Committee, will not be
acted upon by the Benate during this ses
sion of Congress, owing to the uear ap
proach of the close of the session. One of
| the most ingenious features of this delay
j is that most of the claimants are now strug
; gliug with the flood!
It is understood in well informed circles
that the oivil rights bill is dead for this
session. The influence of the President
is supposed to be against the bill.

Hearts.
Henrts are of several kiudsand of widely j
different natures. First, there me walled- ’
up hearts, uml there are of two kinds.
About one kind the wall is high nml
strong, and to surmount it is a work or ex
treme difficulty; but if you get inside you
have entered Eden. Fragrant, and sweet,
and fair as the visions seen in dreams, is
that enclosed garden, and it is worth hard
lalxir to gain admission there. The other
lias a wall as high and strong, and full as
hard to get over, and when, at last, with
torn flesh nml dislocated joints, you have
scaled it, you wish you hadn't; for there
is nothing inside but rocks and cold wa
ter. The trouble with these two descrip
tions of hearts is, that ’tis impossible to
distinguish the one from the other until
you have almost worn yourself out in
cilmbing the walls. Another kind of
heart is that which, having nothing to
fence it in, lies open to the passage of
all men and (tattle- -a waste, unfruitful
field, of ho use to anybody, and less to its
owner. But there is another kind of
heart—a rare creation, but a real oue—
whose wall is low and almost hid by flow
ers. The birds make their nests in it,
uud sing as they swing upon its swaying
twigs and festooning vines. Beyond the
wall, itself a thing of fragrance, beauty
and joy, lie the enchanting gardens. De
lightful bowers invite the wuy-worn trav
eler to enter and repose; spirits of love
and beauty beckon the sad and lonely
ones to the feast of souls, and a charmed
light and glory hover ill the whole joyous
air. This is the true type of heart.

Cpaa-Muie in Church.
The proceedings of the Methodist Con
ference of the Churofc fkyjtli at Louisville,
upon the question of music In church,
are amusing, to qny ihe least, The origi
nal resolution requested' the BiMidps in
their pastoral address to call attention to,
mid express their derided disapprobation
of, opern-uipste, “flow so .common in
churches, w hich so nearly drowns ilio ef
fect of the singing.'’ We are not exactly
clear whnt this means, uuless it be that the
organists South have a habit of interfer
ing with ciuigrcgattoiful singing by lmul
and florid neeeiuuaniments, and startling
developments of noritnre, whioh lire not
of the approved Stcmhold and Hopkins
pattern. If it does not mean this, then we
give up the conundrum. If it does,, we
can not see the difference between prais
ing God in long metre, and with the same
notes disposed iu triplets, and trills, and
- Dr. Peterson was opposed to the
practice because it opols the ardor. When
it comes to thiN, no one will license the
colored Methodist brethren of being cool
in their ardor, and yet their muse is quite
operatic, in the sense used by the Con
ference, as compared with the long-drawn
psulws of.thvii wlqto brethren. The ne
gro hVmn'is a hop, skip ami a jump, which
usually exhausts the resources of execution
before it is ended. Dr. Winfield didn’t
know how to sing. anL on this account,
was opposed to preludes, and wanted to
get back to the good old songs of Wesley
—an unfortunate allusion, as it whs Wesley
who struck for a higher class of music.
Then a substitute Was offered that the
Bishops bo requested to urge iu their ad
dress the necessity of congregational sing
ing. Dn Paul, win a hits been leader of a
choir for half a century, war opposed to
the use of all interludes aud preludes, be
cause they killed -the spirit. \Vu four that
the killing of the spirit is not so much the
cause of Dr. Paul's objection as the fact
that the preludes and interludes must be i
played by uu orgauisL Now it is just us
axiomatic in music that an organist aud ;
choir-leader must be at swords’ points us
tlmt, two half-notes make a whole one. j
They never agree iu tempos. The or
ganist always makes it a special point to
drown the to strike false
chords and throw him off, and the choir
lender always represents to the Music Com
mittee that the organist plays operatic mu
sic, aud throws out dulk hints about Of- j
fonlmeh aud Strauss. We four this is the |
real trouble which prejudices Dr. Paul
against preludes and interludes. If he j
can get these abolished, however, he has
got the upper baud of the organist for all
time, as these are the very occasions when !
the organist has free swing Hud throw*
himself, with all the stops pulled out. The i
lust speaker iu the debate, Dr. Green, was
timorous because it was so difficult to start
a tune in the proper key. This reminds
us of the sad experience of u worthy dea
con in one of our own Methodist aburches,
who was a great .stickler for congrega
tional singiug. Ho filially succeeded in
ousting the choir and orgau, and, to his
great delight, win appointed to lead off
the siuging on the next Sunday. The
good deacon came to church with more
than hiH customary pride. The minister
gave out the hyDim and the deacon arose
and commenced the tune. Before he had j
got through the first line half the emigre- •
gution quit singiDg. On the second line j
two or three very high sopranos kept him ;
company u little ways, tind then ulso sub- ■
sided. On the third line the deacon was i
going it alone, but very feebly. Then ■
there came a. sudden jump to a note above j
the* line. The deacon had pitched the I
tuuo three'or four tones übuvo the key.
lie made a desperate effort to hit the high
note and missed it. He tried it again, j
hut was still further away from it, and
then he quietly sat down. From that day
to this he lias flever said a word about
singing, und makes no objection to the
quartette choir and organ which helps him
to praise God. In the Conference, the
substitute asking the bishops to urge the
necessity of congregational singing was
finally adopted. A compromise, however,
might easily have been effected. Seculur
music can be changed into sucred without
the sligbest difficulty. “Pop goes the
weasel,” “Johnny comes marching home."
and even "Yankee Doodle," if the tempos
are slacked sutnoiently, Cun Hot be rocog

How Poor Eves are Made. —I have,

veils drawn tight over the face iu church
both morning aud evening. I have seen
ladies teaching in Sunday-school and iu
sewing-schools where the expression of
face has so much to do with claimmiug
and retaining the scholars’ attention with
the inevitable veil covering like u musk
both face und expression. Ladies were
seen at the evening receptious at the
Metropolitan museum of art, looking at
pictures and porceluiu through lace veils,
which in one or two instances were
beaded. I jjiysclf saw a lady at the Astor
library procure the seventh volume of
