Their staple food is darru, millet, which they pnlrrrize and make into bread. Very - tie animal food is used by them.

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.

He isn't an anony rnous statesman on the dog question. The Gwinnett Herald doesn’t see any reason why tolmoco-growing shouldn’t engage the attention of tho fanners in upper Georgia. The c rop pays heavy profits. The various town and city councils are enacting rigid dog laws. The dog evil lias becomo so alarming that a fail ure to abate it would be criminal in a high degree. The Catoosa CoUrier states that it is "nows to tho people of the sevcQtli Congressional district” that Mr. Clem ents is to liavo opposition, because of his Joe Brown proclivities. Hews and Signal: Capt. Hendry says he is going to plant the mulberry for tho purpose of going into the silk busi ness. We believe that silk culture can bo made very profitable here. Why not? Many of the farmers of Bullock coun ty will plant the long-staple variety of cotton. It is singular that more peo ple do not follow the same lead. The lint is much better, the yield is as good and tho price is decidedly greater. Coen can be bought in Laurens coun ty for seventy-five cents per bushel, Hates the Dublin Gaielte. This is probably Georgia raised com. West ern com—poor as it is, doesn’t sell at so low a price os that, according to our observation.

LIFE IN LEATHER ACAIN. Up Coes the Price of Boots and Shoes Boston Men Scoop Up New York Stock. New York Run. There is a boom in the leaUier market. I whicli fbr yean had varied hardly a half cent a year. Within a week prices have I advanced 10 per cent, and leather mcnl predirt a rise of fully 10 per cent. more. The stock on hand has been exhausted, and the usual dally receipts from tiie tan neries form the only possible source of supply- For ycaro past the leather market has been depressed anil leather dealers ll ivt had t litrd time getUmt along. Men went Jinto the business on borrowed capital, and. running at a loss, made it impossible for legiUmate dealers to compete with then;. These men failed in time, and their fail ures cleared the air and lessened produc tion. The importation of foreign hides has fallen off. Thirty per cent. less, or nearly a million bides less than were im ported m lwl, were imported in INO. There wae a cattle epidemic in Noutil America to 1881 and 1S82 and more cattle were aiaugiitered for Uieir hides. There is no epidemic now. As a result of these and other causes. Uie stock of leather in sight lias been growing gradually smaller •ntl smaller. None of the buyer* seem to have taker, alarm until recvuUy. On Monday, March to, a number ot Eastern buyers came to this city and bought up all there was on hand.

Tho Constitution is bothered now, anil is liable to say a great many things. But why may not Editor McIntosh “aspire to Congress”? "Several old fields are being eultl- vntod tills year because of the stock law,” says tho Oglethorpe Echo. That two-line statement suggests one partic ular item of advantage in a stock law which more than offsets all the disad vantages. The time and expense given to keeping up fences will enable farm ers to cultivate larger areas. The Itchawaynotchaway is booming. Tho crossing at Monroe’s mill between tllja place and Morgan is impassable, Calhoun County Courier. A river be: tog that sort ot a name has a right to bo booming. But really, now, neigh bor, how can there be any "crossing at Monroe’s mill” if the Itchawaynotch- away is "impassable” at that point? Old “Vox” is sleeping on post up in Morgan county. The Uadisonian says “County politics are astonlslitoglr se renc. What strange power can it be that is affecting the candidates with this unaccountable indifference? Can’t a card from “Vox populi” bring forth a Legislative aspirant from his seques tered retreat? This silence ia becom ing distressing.” Gwinnett'Herald: The farmers in this section ot the State are becoming discouraged. There lias hardly been a week ol open weather since Christ mas, and lienee everybody is behind. It has been a hard scratch to get oats sowed, anil we doubt whether there is an acre ot corn planted in this county. The rainfall in the last month has been ample to have inado the best crop our county ever had. 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, n adventurous spirit, and inventive ;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- fits* Tho next Legislature will be callcdl upou to consider and settle questions of S ave interest to the whole ppople of leorgia.
