In other words it is, in my opinion, the duty of the Governor to asses, and levy the special Ux authorized by the act of Feb ruary 19th, 1873, over and shore the tax specifically authorized by the act of Decem ber 9,1882. unless the assessment of the 1873, which mature on the first day of April next.

A negro who was caught stealing corn near Savannah alleged, in extenu ation, that "a doctor hod ordered him to get Borne corn for a sick child.” This Is moro than usually gqod. The Chat ham county doctors evidently belong to no special school. Tbe Atlanta /oumol mysteriously remarks that “when these dogfcdays cease these occasional showers will cease." It is impossible to conjecture to what “showers" our contemporary refers; for, in tho same column, it sajs: “The streets are very dusty and disa greeable.” Referring to tho fact that the re turns in Harris county show a falling oft in tho number of acres ol land in the county, tho Hamilton Journal gives thiB explanation: “The spring freshets took off just 3,891 acres more dirt, it seems, than tho guano men brought us.” This doesn’t lack anything of being good. The Emanuel County Ilrmizer forci bly says that “he who believes in only half educating his children, and thinks it tlie State’s duty to do even that, will live to despise the day ot his penurious ness,” the State doesn’t propose even half an education, and it does less than it proposes. Good private schools are the ones in which to edu cate children. There are savage hogs in Johnson county. The Wrightaville Ktcorder re lates the following incident in point; “The other day as Mr. James Dicks was returning from J. O. Snell’s to his home in Wrightaville, the horse which ho was driving was attacked and se verely cot by a large hog. The horse became frightened, ran a short distance at full speed, and thus escaped from being more seriously injured. The bleeding was profuse, and the wound so severe that Sir. Dicks was forced to leave his horse with a neighbor, and get other conveyance to Wrtghtsville. Tho horse is badly injured, and it is feared that he is rained for life.” EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. Brutal Solftshnasa of Sergeants Long and Fred6rlcks-*Hidlng Food from the Others* The dissensions among tho Grccly party, which were marked during ail their long stay in the arctic regions, ended at last m a cotnnlote division ot the survivors. As tiino passed at ths camp on Cape Sabine, And outlook be came more and more gloomy and hu man flesh was finally resorted to as food, tho stronger ones obtained the lion’s share. MM Steward ell were the weakest ones of the party when the rebel ships arrived. Sergeant Ilraincnl had a little strength left. He stood by Greelyas none the others did, and supplied him will) a share of the food. Sergeants hong and Fredericks were quite strong. Tito former was ablo to go about on short buntiog expe ditions, in which ho W03 accompanied by Sergeant Fredericks.’ The game se cured was shared by these two, so self ish hsd they become by the desperate extremity to which they were reduced. The sufferings of the others did not appeal to them. The two Sergeants determined to live together and tho others might die. All discipline was tone, and it was a struggle as to should ire the longest. A statement was published yesterday irom I^igh Smith, oi London, tho fa mous Arctic explorer, in which he said the survivors should not have been so weak and prostrated if they had been living on hnman flesh. The truvh is that the first reports oi their condition seem to Iiavo been much oxaggera'ed, especially with regards to Long, Fred cricks and Brainerd. Tho first two named walked unassisted to the steam launch in a gale that tried the sailors of tlzc relief ship to keep their feet. The others were quite weak—some of them too weak to walk.

The invitation was accepted and the proprietor came out accompanied with a big stick. He told tho young gentle man to get oat or he would put him out. Other words followed and the young gentleman finally asked, to have the bill receipted, which was quickly done and tne cash handed over.
