Jndge Smith waa one of the most malignant, uncompromising and unscrnpu’oa« Radical politicians who ever annoyed and harrassed the good people of that State. The New Yofk Sun says no matter how much Blaine has involved him self in trickery and dishonor, “every lover of liberty owes gratitude to him as the leader of that wing of his party which successfully resisted the at tempt of Grant and his insatiate fol lowers to imporialize the United States Government.” According to the census of 1880 the order of those States haring over 1,000,000 inhabitants, and beginning with the greatest, is New York, Penn sylvania, Oh : o, Illinois, Missouri, In diana, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Mich igan, Iowa, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, (the difference in the population of the last two was less than 200). Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Alabama, Mississippi and New Jersey. Sidney Hebbebt, the Atlanta cor respondent of the Savannah News, most persistently adheres to his state ments, notwithstanding the fact that he has been called a "liar’’ by those mostly interested in the welfare of At lanta. He has proven everything he has said by facts. What he has said has made Atlanta very mad. The great and powerful city so indepen dent (?) of other towns of Georgia has positively asserted that she has the back of her hand against those towns of the State that have quarantined against her. This bull-dozing bas had its effect, and several Georgia towns have gone back oh their first utter ances. Atlanta may remember the faettbat there have been a number of small pox caseVin her midst. She has man aged these cases most carelessly, and we may say recklessly, and tho result is she is the sufferer. People are too sharp these days to fail to penetrate the covering-over proclamations of the journals of Atlanta. TWls The Charm Of Lord Beacontfield’s L>r4ra fyectator. Y<*u could never divine what was coming, only you might be tolerably sure that it was something ingem on* and surprising. The curiosity of the audience was thus kept al ways on the alert. Nor was it merely novelty of argument that might be looked for when Lotd Beaconsfield was on his leg*. He was really witty, and hi* wit bad sometimes a atrong family Hkeneia to that of a man with whom he bad nothing else in common—we mean Sydney Smith. It sometimes Hashes ‘upon you ia a paradoxical epigram or must unxpected turn of thought, reveled in a succession of droll similes. Sidney Smith, in one of bis ersa/s, describes tho habits of tbe sloth, which, be says, “walks suspended, eats suspended, sleeps suspended, in fact passes its life in suspense—just like a young clergy man distantly related to a Bishop.” So Mr Disraeli, at tbe close of oue of his brilliant invectives agaiust Peel, exclaims: “I have confidence in the common sence of our country men, and I believe that they will not long endure this huckstering tyranny of tho treasury bench— ciiuse political peddlers that bought ihcir party in the cheapest market, and sold us in the dearest” Syd ney Smith declared on one occasion -hat iu spite of the theories of the descent of .man, he should persist iu regarding himself as decidedly superior to “the blue ape without a tali." There is something exceed ingly comical iu this caretul selec tion of tbe particular kind of ape witii which the witty canon feit it safe to compare himself with. Lord Beaconsfield made frequent use of this artifice of dwelling on minute details when he wished to make his adversary ridiculous. Ilere is a specimen from one of his speeches against Peel. He ac cuse* Peel of being “a burglar of other men’s ideas, and of having “found tbe Whigs bathing, and run away with their clothes.” Nor was this the worst of it; the Prime Min ister had condescended to borrow hi* policy even from obscure “pen dant*.” “Why, sir, these are mat ters of general notoriety. After the day that the right honorable gentleman made his first exposition ufhis schemes, a gentleman, well known to the House, aud learned in all the political secrets behind the scenes, met me and said, ‘Well, what do you thiuk of your chiefs plan?’ Not knowing exactly what to say, but talking up a . phrase which has been used in the House, I observed,‘Well, I suppose it is a great and comprehensive plan.' ‘Oh I’ be replied, ‘we know all about it; it waB offered to us. It is uot hi* plan; it’s Popkiu’s plan. And is England to be governed by Pupkin’s plan ? Will he go to the country with it ?” Lord Beacons- tield, like Sydney Smith, loved mmelime* also to hug a droit idea, md develop it through a series of illustrations. Everybody remem- >ers Sydney Smith’* witty diserip- ion of a certain fat lady: “You night walk around her to gel up an ippetite, or you might people a col- niy with her, or you might read the iol art aud tiispersa tier.*’ More licmresqne. it not so comical, i* Mr. Di-raeli’a winy description at ik ugh of the collapse <>f the debate •ii the Indian policy of the Derby govern incut iu 1858- It ha* often >een quoted, but will bear quoting • gain: “We Were all assembled, • nr benches, with their >ert ied rank*, -oetued to rival those of our proud •ppnneutv when suddenly there, o-ose a wail of ni-tress—but not mill us. I can only liken thu scene ’.o the mutiny of the Bengil army. Regiment after i-rgimeut, cotp-t af ter corps General after General, all icknowledgtd that they emtid not march through Coventry with Her Majesty's opposition. It was like a convulsion of nature rather than my ordinary transaction of human life. I w,a* reminded by it of one of those earthquake* which take place ill Calabria or Peru. There was a rumbling murmur—» groan—a shriek— sound ot distant thunder. Ne one knew whether it came from the top or the bottom of the hou-e. There was a re it, a fi*suro in the ground,-and then & village disap peared, then a tail tower toppled down, and the whole of the opposi tion fetiches became one great dis solving view of anarchy." Another of the charms of Lord Beaconsfield’s oratory was his happy knack of coining phrases which con tained in minatnre a whole argu ment, or stereotyped some peculiar ity or characteristic of an opponent. He denounced Mr. Gladstone as a “penurious prodigal,” because he was obliged, as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Palmerston's government, to find money for an ex travagant aud wasteful expenditure, which he at the same’time condemn ed. Mr. Bereford Hope will never be able to rid himself of the ‘Batav ian grace’’ with which Mr. Disraeli endowed him;'and poor Mr Horsman carried with him to the grave the epithet of ‘•superior person.” which Mr. Disraeli gave him in the Den mark debate in 188L The most sav age of these barbed phrases that we remember occurs in one of his re torts on Mr. Lowe, whom he will not advise to retire to his “cave,’* but to “a more cynical place.” To have bidden his opponent go to his kennel would even if parliamentary, have outraged the audience and re coiled on the orator himself. But Mr. Disraeli contrived to say precisely the same thing by his adroit me of the word “cynical,” in its etymological sense. This is a good specimen of these dexterous unexpected thrusts which used to he so enjoyable to .hear, and which made up no small portion of the charm of his oratory. Aud we believe that his best things of this sort were really impromptus; certainly this was true of what he used himself to characterize as his best mot, namely, his retort oo the Tounton elector when he was stand ing for that borough. On .the day of nomination the opposing candi date uttered a string of platitudes upon which he declared himself de termined to “stand ” “And what do yon stand upon cried a man in the crowd when it came to Mr Dis raeli’s turn to speak. “Kir,” waa tbe immediate reply, my head.’i 'I stand upon A Complaint from Worth. A prominent gentleman uf this city has received the following from Worth county: Worth County. Ga., May 8,1882- —Mr.—, Dear Sin This leaves all well, hoping it will find you en joying the same blessing. Not much news now; only crops are looking very well, considering everything. And, besides, I will tell you that there ia'a great bunch of vour Eng lish sparrows taken up here at my huuso, and they are very noisy in deed, and, as I would not hurt Any thing of yours ou any terms, I would like for yon to get them away as early as possible. Yours trnlv, B. K—t—e. The gentleman has answered the complaint as follows: Albany, Ga , May 10,1882—Dear Sir: Your letter is received, and I am glad to'hear from you, and glad to hear such good reports of the oats and other crops, and I am sorry to hear that you are troubled with the English sparrows. They are not mine. X protested to the last not t n bring them here; that it was far bel ter that the caterpillars would rat up every cotton plant, and make planters raise corn, oats, wheat and rye, than to raise cotton and pay all they get for the cotton for shipped corn and it spoilt, aud bacon and it spoilt, too. Barney what do you think of the shipped corn rottening so had for the last three springs? Don’t you think it will be an Egypt locust case if we don’t stop going to the West for bread. Well, wc had splendid rains yesterday and to-day. All well. Good bye. Lone Stab. Troth Versus Romance. Editor News and Advertiser: It is believed upon the Texan bor der that any oue who has ever drank the waters of tbe Rio Grande feels an impulse, ever after, to return and again quench his thirst at the same unfailing fountain.. It may uot he widely known, yet is neverthe less true, that a similar idea obtains here. One may drink from tbe well at the Band 8tsnd,and it matters not bow far he may go nor how long he may stay, he will come back aud imbibe onco more its talismanic waters. There is at least one pleasant infer ence to be drawn from this seem ing delusion: onr Albany possesses attractions even outside of the now almost forgotten and nearly obso- le'o waters of the well at the Band Stand. I know that some will regard the foregoing as bordering upon the whimsical, and claim that Albany i« merely commonplaco or a matter- of-fact sort of a town, devoid of any thing like romance. I dissent from this conclusion, and insist that no locality should be classed unroman tic, that for nlue mouths out of the twelve, is blessed with skies of al most Italian beauty and balm. No spot of earth will long remain ob-cnre that throughout tbe seasons of tbe changing year gladden*- the eye of the stranger with a vegeta- ution rivaling that of the tropics, and often affording a display ot ’he floral kingdom bright and fragrant as the bloom aud beauty of the sum mer land of Cashmere. No locality is devoid of interest, possessing a climate salubrious aa the summit ot the Blue Ridge, a soil teeming with all the products of nature in her most bounteous moods, aud culti vated by a people intelligent, appre ciative and hospitable toward the meritorious stranger, let him hail from where be may. The foregoing facts are briefly stated for the faith and belief that the city of Albany, at uo distant day, is destined to a rapid advancement, instead of any possi ble retrogradation, as is predicted by Mr. Croaker, from an infinitsi- tnal standpoint of any mere tempo rary depression, always incidental certain seasons of the year. It H pleasant to note the kindly com ments of the press everywhere in regard to what, for a long time, will continue to prove still another and most attractive feature. Allusion is of course made to our exhaustless fountain of Ufe-giving water, bear ing, as it does, the impress of tbe Eternal upon its liaghing face. Forever flashing with exhnberaut gladness iu the genial sunshine, or glittering like chains ofmolton sil ver in the loving light of the moon and stars by night. “A thing - of beauty and a joy forever.” An un ceasing source of- refreshment, health and happiness to thousands now aronnd us, a privilege and blearing to myriads yet to he. A royal legacy, that not all the crowned heads of earth are not rich enough to buy, and yet at tbe same time free as air to all of every race, color, caste or condition. S. Atlanta Post-Appeal: Yester day Mr. M. F. Amorous, one of At lanta’s most enterprising- lumber dealers, made the largest transaction ever made in lumber In this city He sold 500.000 feet to one man. This shows what a boom there is in build ing at this time. Just a few days ago Mr. Amorous made the largest pur- chs-e of lumber ever made here.

It seemed to Huger loving ly, a* if lotah to fade away, for the god of day had sunk to rest behind tbe western hills, and only a few gnli’sli gieams remained.to tell the story of his splendor. The bar of gUntlng sunlight fell upon a very charming niciure, too, for the room was daintily decorated with as many of those pretty aesthetic fancies de manded by the new renaissauee as the taste and purse of its fair occu pant enabled her to procure. Soft rugs dotted the floor; lilies, daisies aud suuflowcrs stood in little easels of ebony wherever there was an effective spot to place them; snowy statuettes of Grecian gods and goddesses gleamed from deli cately carved brackets; painted placques and screens were scattered picturesquely about; iu the low open window stood moss-covered plots of geranium and mignonette, and f om the ceiling swung a musi cal canary in the daintiest of gilt cages. Little wonder, indeed, that the sunlight loved to linger! Close by the open window sat tbe voting mistress of this pretty room, Bess—I beg her pardon—Elizabeth Laugdon. ‘ Bess” had such a coarse and common sound that she had dropped it when she became a dis ciple of “(he beautiful,”, and even her plain old lather, who had called her so from babyhood, though he had to stop and thiuk twice before speaking; was obliged to drawl out “•Elizabeth,” on paiti of her severe displeasure. Fain would she h ive had it “Lily,” but for the stern fact that her hair aud eyes were of the darkest, ami her complexion was too decidedly brunettto permit such an affectation. With all her foolish faults Elizabeth had too much na tive good taste to be guilty of such an absurdity as that. She had been walfciug iu tbe fields, with the poems of her favorite apos tle in her hand, trying if she could “hear tho daisies grow,” hut findiDg herself quite unequal to such an ethereal achievement and returned with an armful of floral treasures which she was now busily transfer ring to a miniature easel. • She was smiling softly over her work, yet it was not her work that caused Uiesmile. What, then? Why, she was daily expecting Jack Wood- woith, her betrothed, home lrom college, and she was secretly won dering what he would think of the change in herself. He was such a healthy, practical, fun-loving fellow, with not a bit of lackadaisical, non sense in his composition, that she al most dreaded meeting him. Be sides, she feared that in the “ineffa ble wonder” and “preciousness” of her new aesthetic experience she would find Jack so utterly coarse aud unappreciative that she would be obliged to discard him altogeth er. She would regret that very deeply, for, despite his woeful lack of sentiment, she loved Jack dearly. A shadow fell across the waning sunlight. Elizabeth looked up and saw—could it be Jack? There stood in tha open doorway a tall, splendid specimen of manhood ciad from head to foot in the distinctive cos- tame of an test he te. Goat and knee- breeches ol black velvet, silk stock iugs and pumps, a low-cut collar, showing the rounded Whiteness of his throat, and a creamy lillv repos ing ou hi* breast, actually set off Jack's superb figure and blonde beauty to linmeuse advantage. And he had gone a step further than the fashion set by his English chief, for in Lis hand, a* be made his courtly bow, be held a black velvet cap adorned with a sweeping snowy plume. Elizabeth’s first feeling was one of proud delight. “He looks like a fairy prince,” she exclaimed to herself, forgetting that fairy prince* don’t usually grow to be six feet tall aud wear heavy blonde ciou-uache*. ‘•Queen of my heart,” languidly murmured Jack, critically survey ing Miss Langdou with his bright blue'eye* bait closed, “it is, indeed, an intense, a consummate pleasure to heboid yon! Tbe poe:ry of your at tire assures me that you are truly a kindred spirit. You burst upon my wearied sight like an oasis iu the—in the—ah I—” “Wonder it he means than I am green 1” thought Elizabeth, taming a-ide to cenceal an amused smile, as Jack lost himself in a sea of clo- queues. But the latter seemed to have for gotten his unfinished sentence and het . presence together, as he wan dered about the room languidly scanning tbe pretty, tasteful objects scattered about, .calling the Greek godesses by names quite incompre- hem-ible to Elizabeth, and alluding to them as familiarly as if they were old arquaintances. Finally stop ping before a portrait of th'e Eng lish esthetic, he clasped his bauds in an ecstasy of rapture. “Our chief! oar poet!” ho ex claimed. “Wonderous youth! des tined to change this cold, prosaic world into a harmony of exquisite coloring and beauty. Henceforth I have no mission save to follow your diving example. How intensely happy I am to know thxt- we adore the same -divinities, dear Bess!” throwing himself down among the flowers at berfeet. , “Elizabeth,” corrected the some what embarrassed maiden, with a s.ightly rising color. “Oh, true I how much more , ex quisite and queenly! I always thought the name of Bess had a But ere a week had passed, her lover’s testheticism began to weary her. His conversation was all “Art! art I beanty! beauty!” until those words became a perfect bore to her. If they went out to walk in field or woodland, he was forever listening fot fauns and Dryads, or lifting his plumed cap from his handsome brow to c3tch the “odorous riches of the Orient” in some passing breezo. At the end of a month the flowery wreath of. his eloquence absolutely palled upon her ears, and she thought, if her mstheticism sounded as ridiculous to others as Jack did to her, what a pair of lunatics they must have seemed. But the climax came one evening when Jack arrived to escort her to a party. Now, going out into socie ty with Jack had all along been somewhat of an ordeal to Elizabeth, for, while very proud of her lover’s inanly beauty, she was painfully conscious that his knightly costume was the subject of many a covert sneer and satire. But this evening, to her horror, he wore a gaudy sun flower in his button-hole, and insist ed that, for tbe sake of unity in de sign, she should wear one also. Elizabeth was tastefully attired in a clinging, antique-fashioned robe of palest rose-color, a silver girdle clasping her slender waist, and a fillet ot silver clasping her clustering dark hair, Grecian-wise, back from her fair temples. A bunch of pure white blossoms completed a toilet that was really beautitul. “Jack, are you crazy?” she de manded, turning toward him in blank astonishment. “What! I wear one of those coarse, yellow flowers in a toilet like this 1” “Coarse I Why, my lovely maid,” said Jack, “do you remembers what our poet says abont its ‘Leonine beaulv—its gorgeous—” “I don’t care what he says,” with a scornful glance at “our poets.” “It does well enough to ornament back door yards, but for a corsage bou quet—bah I” “Idol of my soul!” cried Jack, in languid amazement. “My fairest daisy-maid, when the harsh, incom plete melodics of oar separate lives are blended into an exquisite, con summate harmony—•” “Bosh 1” interrupted his thorough ly disgusted fiancee. “I, for one, shall never be guilty of such consummate tolly as to blend my life with that of a downright idiot. So, there?’’ “Do you mean that, Bess?”inquir ed Jack, suddenly throwing off his artistic languor, and flashing a bright, mischievous glance upon her. “Yes, I do,” with white, indig nant face and angrily flashing eyes. “And if you don’t go straight home and change that ridiculous costume for something sensible, I won’t even attend this party with you. There now!” “Hurrah!” shouted Jack, tossing his plumed cap in the air, like an emancipated school boy.. “I say, Bess, are you really aud truly tired of testhelicism?” “Tired and sick of it,” she replied siucerely. “But wbat do you mean, Jack? Are you not really—” “Pshaw!”-said Jack, in his own frank, merry voice, “I saw plainly in your letter that this new ‘ism,’ which is well enongh iu its way, was completely turning the head of the nicest little sweetheart in the world, and I tried a plan of my own to check it—that’s alL Ha, ha, ha! glad you’re cured, Elizabeth!’’ With a gay laugh be vanished, to retain a-half hour later clothed like ordinary mortals, and it is safe to say that the two ex-testhetes enjoyed that evening more than any other since Jack’s return. “Elizabeth,” began her father timidly, as he met them passing out. • “Call me Bess, father,” she return ed with a cheerful girlish laugh. “Jack’s too utterly utter silliness has forever cored me of my nonsense.” But Jack declares that when they are married he intends to always have a patch of sunflowers in the yard in order to keep Bess from beiDg run away with by more ab surd “isms.” being all thnt all th« mill* had on I‘ave Jack that her fanev had ’paint- hand at the time. 1 * harsh and vulgar sound—too coarse, by Jar, for those who have caught the Inner harmonies of the heautilul in life!” "Did you, indeed,” said the young lady to herself, with consider able indignation. “You told a very different tale a few months ago, Mr. Jac- Wood worth? -' t -j i But she kept her wounded vanity to herself, anti joined in the art talk of this superior asihete, trying to I , feel very thankful that he was not, after turning over a few leaves, an- after all, the practical, unspprecia- swered: ■ PRESS AND people. W. F. Lawrence has assumed edi- toral charge of the Dahlonega Moun tain Signal. Ha.lf a hundred members of the Georgia Press Convention visited Jacksonville and St. Augustine Sat urday. Georgia editors would have a hard time in England. A prime cut of beef in. that country costs thirty- two cents a pound. Since the recent Press Convention in Augnsta the editorial space in many of our exchanges has been very much contracted. This is bet ter than to have it contracted for. Editor Randall, of tbe Augusta Cronicle, thinks that when Uncle Remus grows old he “will glide into another vein.” And he will glide as gracefully as a champion roller skat er. Colonel A. St Clair-Abrams, so well known in Georgia journalism, is to re-enter the profession—is to be connected with the Herald, in his new town of Tavares, Grage county, Fla. Col. C. C. Jones, of Augusta, is making good headway with his His tory of Georgia. The first volume is about ready for the press. The entire work will be comprised in three volumes.
