Steamship Bear Described,

The sealing steamship Bear, which was]
purchased recently by the government as
oncof the vessels for the Grecly relief ex
pedition, was put in commission on Batur-
day at the Brooklyn navy yard, Lieutenant
William H. Emory in command. It is
said she will be ready to proceed north by
April 10, but it is hardly probable that she
will start so soon, since it is not
thought that Smith's Bound will be open
to navigation before the middle of May.
The Bear was considered one of the
stongest vessels in the Arctic sealing fleet.
She is three masted, barkentlne rigged,
and divided into three water-tight com-
partments. Her dimensions are: Length.
190 feet 1 inches: breadth of beam, 29 feet
9 inches; depth ofhold, 18 feet 8 inches:
gross tonnage,(VCItons; net tonnage, t»M,l
She was built at Dundee. Scotland, in 1X74.1
and has compound engines, with cylin
ders of 25 and 80 inches diameter, respec
tively, and 30 inches stroke. •
Her hull proper is built of oak, with iron
fastenings, and she is sheathed from the
keel to above the watcr-lTne with green-
heart—a verv hard wood exported from
Domarara, West Indies. The forward part
of the vessel, from the stem for about fif
teen feet aft. ia built up solid with oak

For ycaro past the leather market has

running at a loss, made it impossible for
legiUmate dealers to compete with then;.
These men failed in time, and their fail

claim no right to space inyour paper to
speak upon any subject; yet I hope to
escapo a scolding for an attempt to
commend the sterling worth of the Tel-
eiirafii and Messenger to the general
public and to ail in search of reliable-
news and unexceptionable rcadinp
matter. It indeed is a telegraph am I
a messenger to the man at the counter]
and iri the office, and its advent into
any family circle in city, town, hamlet
or country, cannot be the cause of un
easiness, but rather of cheerful greeting
and hearty welcome.
Of the active, enterprising and go-
ahead population of Georgia of to-day,
only a limited number have any per
sonal knowledge of the Telegraph in
the times ol Dr. Myron Bartlette, when
he filled the editorial chair. To the
latter part ol the period of his labors
land work as editor, the earliest
{readings of the writer are
dated. Since those good old days
changes have spread over the eartl
Nations have disappeared from the po
litical map and new ones fill their
daces, and to-day tho world is troub-
ed with wars and rumors of wars, and
ct man goes on in scientific research,

;enius, and who will dare rise up and
xiund his sphere of action and curtail
his triumphs. J
Tiie newspaper is a most potent fac
tor in the steady march of modern
civilization. Wherever interest or]
hope may lead the individual immi-l
grant or colony, tho newspaper will be]
there with its counsels and light. Itl
has no place of rest, and desires none,
but its voice will be heard in thc|
thickest of the struggle, where men
are striving to subdue tiie earth, plant
liberty and organize society.
A free press is the natural mouthpiece
ot liberty, and a venal press is the
parasite and tool of rogues and tyrants.
A free press is tiie common birthright
of tiie native American, and when the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship
have liecn assumed, the boon follows
the assumption, and all share equally
in the blessings of peace, in indus
trial progress and in w hatever may be
accomplished through the forces of
unity under a free government.
Without disparagement to any of the
many good papers published in our
section of the State, it is notout of
iloco to say that, the Telegraph and
Messenger is, par excellence, the or
gan of the people of Middle nnd South-
West Georgia. Its age, ability, inde
pendence and location, the “Central
tfui-cn” of our proud old common!
wealth, give It prominence and genu
ine popularity. From this pleasing
view, the mind is carried away by
jtliouglits ot future usefulness and great
er sui c<»»
It makes a tool at once lighter, while much!
stronger, more effective at work,
while less liable to clog, and far supe
rior to anything we have ever of-
tered yet at a price at which
none can afford to be without
them.
At our most important railroad points,
Reynolds, Butler and Howard, the day
schools are efficient and flourishing,
but not no much can be said, I fear, of
those in other portions of the county.
iPeople in many communities depend
•Imost alone upon the public
term for the .instruction ot their
children. The small pittance
from this source is altogether inade
quate; anil U this mistaken policy is
long continued, it will ripen into a fixed
habit, and must eventuate in unlocked
for injury to many thousands of poor,
but deserving children, scattered in
rural districts, throughout the State.
The greatest mislortune of these chil
dren is the poverty of their parensl
and lienee, the ultimate glory, the
honor and highest interests of Georgia
are invoked to adjust the inequalities of
our public school system, to the end
that no ono may fait to atwre the bene-

The “Planet Jr.*'Horse Hoe Is ahead of
