Letter From Ja
THE “ACER.”
Once upon an evening bleary,
While I sat me, dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking o’er
Passing things in the days of yore:
While I nodded, geqtly sleeping.
Gently come a something creeping
Upon my back, like water seeping—
.Seeping upward from the floor,
“ ’Tie a cooling breeze,” 1 muttered,
“From the regions ’neath the floor,
Only this, and nothing more.”
And distinctly 1 remember
It was in one wet September,
When the earth and every member
Of creation that it bore,
Had for weeks and weeks been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rains (without, joking)
We had ever seen before;
Bo I knew it must be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor—
Very cold beneath the floor.
So I sat me, half-way napping,
In the sunshine, stretching, gapping,
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from ’neath the floor,
Till I found me growing colder
And the stretching waxing bolder.
And myself a feeling older—
Older than I’d felt before;
Feeling that my joints were stiller
Than they were in days of yore—
Stiffer than they’d been before.
All along my back the creeping
Coolness soon was leaping,
As if coutless frozen demons
Were attempting to explore
AH the cavities (the varmints)
’Twixt me and my nether garments.
Up into my hair and downward
Through my hoots into the floor;
Then I found myself a slinking,
Slight at first, but more and more—
Every moment more and more!
Soon I knew what ’twas that shook me;
’Twas the ager, and it took me
Into heavy clothes—to every
Place where there was warmth in
store;
Shook me lilt my teeth were chattering,
Till the tea they brought went spatter
ing
From the cup, while all my warming
£ Made me colder than before:
Shook me till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more—
Had not strength to shake me more.
Then it rested till the morrow,
When it came with all the horror
That it owned, or e’en could borrow—
Shaking harder than before:
And from that day damp aud dreary,
When I sat all dreamy, bleary,
It has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking, oh. so sore!
Shaking off my lioots, and shaking
Me to bed, If nothing more—
Fully this, if nothing more.
And to-day the swallows flitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine,
Just inside my silent door,
Waiting for the ager, seeming
Like a man forever dreaming.
And the sunlight oil me streaming,
Throws no shadow on the floor;
For I’m now too thin from ager
To make shadows on the floor—
Nary shadow—any more!
Individuality ol Newspapers.
The Trenton Gazette ha9 formed a
very true idea in reference to the
individuality of newspapers. It
suggests the fact that every uewspa
per man knows there is such a delicate
and sensitive commodity as news.
There is nothing else that depends
so largely for value upon the source
whence it emanates. There is noth
ing which conies before the public
on which the “label** is so carfully
scrutinized. Newspapers have char
acters as various as the individuals
who conduct and crontrol them. It
is just as true now as it was the
morning of the Christian era, “that
men do not gather grapes of thorns
or figs of thistles.’’ The character of
the news not only depends upon the
label—the name of the journal in
which it appears—but upon the
character for truth and veracity of
the per.-ons who furnish it.
Prayers.
Christian Adrwate.
Every prayer is a wish, but wishes
are not prayers. In the heart of
every prayer is the sense of need, but
a 9t*nse of need is not prayer. Pray
er is asking for ajfelt need; not ask
ing the universe,‘but God. No one
can intelligently ask who does not
believe he can and may be heard
No one can pcrservingly ask. who
thinks that asking vvi 1 bring noth
ing. Persons who believe that the
whole influence of prayer is ‘•imply
the effect of their own thoughts upon
themselves, never prey'. They can
not pray. The mou:h may utter
right words: the heart is not in
them. Some prayers are not pray
ers, for those who any them do not
really wish tor the things thev
mention. But the difficulty with
most prayers is that there as no
grasp of the idea of Go l—that is
no asking. “Ask and ye shall re
ceive.”
A Place Where Woman Is Supreme.
1**11 Mail Gazette.
An original seel is reported to
•exist in Finland, the fundamental
principle of which is the sovereign
authority of women in the family.
xj/The deciples of the sect, whether
remarried or living in concubinage,
•take an oath to submit entirely to
4heir wife or mistress, and to confers
io her once a week. On their side
■the women choose one of their num
ber as sovereign, whose duty it i>
to see that the men remaiu faithful
to iheir oath and punish them if
they ^transgress. There are some
villages entirely devoted to this new
religion. The only analogy to this
•ect is to be found iu Siberia, where
the Purifiers recognize equally the
authority of woman.
After a severe test of twelve
years, by many leading physicians
and thousands of females, it has been
thorougherly; demonstrated that
English Female Bitters has cured
relieved more sickly females,
tbak all other rem'dies combined.
AJ1 monthly defeets, excesses or
nesses, affecting maraied or
J iadies, are promptly relieved
by its use.
Mr. Felton's cause must be grow
ing weaker and weaker. He is resur
recting the campaign literature of years
ago. That did very well. Dr. Felton,
before honest old Aaron Collins’ letter
was published.
Tiie Cincinnati Commercial im
proves the occasion by saying *hnt if
the Republican* of Ohio are not satis
fied, they should tic themselves up to
ihe Woman Suffrage question and
attempt that for an issue next time.
For the speakership of the House
are mentioned Messrs. Garrard and
Little, of Muscogee, Hoge, of Fulton,
Filligant, of Chatham, Ray of Coweta,
Peek, of Rockdale and lledw'ine, of
Hall. For the ptesidency of the Sen
ate, James S. Boynton, J. H. Polhi 1
and Fleming DuBignon are proposed.
A passenger from Eastman informs
u« that the scaffolding and enclosure
lor the hanging oil the 20th are about
completed. Th? ropes were stretched
with logs weighing 30J pounds, and
found to fully sustain the strain. It
should‘be remembered that the exe
cution is private, and it will be useless
for any one to go with the expectation
of seeing it.—Macon Telegraph.
Mr. Henry Bergh has written a
letter to a friend in Georgia protesting
against fox hunting. He says: “Gila
this sport all over with the glitter of
fashion, stud it over with diamonds
and rubies and all the precious gems
associated with an indolent and ef
feminate aristocracy, and beneath it
the cold-blooded and revolting cruelty
still remains, as hideous to the sight of
a truly refined nature as crime can
be.”
The Boston Globe concentrates
some frozen facts in a very few words
when it remarks: “While the Re
publican party is retained In power
the revenue laws will not be revised.
The policy of the party is to protect
special industries, and to postpone all
reduction of the taxes, so that the
jobs and ssheincs of lobbyists and
speculators may be promoted at the
public cost, and close districts be car
ried by the aid of special appropria
tions.’’
Speaking of the result in Ohio, the
New York Tribune says: “TJjere is
no mistaking the significance of this
enonnpus Democratic majority. The
tempcrauco question undoubtedly had
a great effect, but it cannot be held
responsible for a revolt of such pro
portions. * * * This is more than
a Democratic victory. The very size
of the majority shows that. 1> shows
the benumbing effect of au unpopular
administration, and of the cowardice
o f a Congress which forgot its duty to
the people in its haste to bow down
to that administration.’’
The yellow fever continues unabat
ed at Pensacola, and the scourge-
si ricketi people of that city are in dis
tress and appealing to their more
fortunate fellow-beings elsewhere for
aid. D. G. Brent, chairman of the
Board of Helath of Pensacola, has sent
out the following dispatch, which
speaks for itself: “The reports of our
distress are not exaggerated, but fall
far short of the truth. We need help
for present necessities, and are
deeply concerned and uneasy about
the prospects of the future. The fever
is of a more fata! character than be
fore.’’
The new census of London, showing
the population to be 4,764,312 souls,
lias drawn out from Land, the En
glish journal, some striking contrasts.
“There are,’’ it says, “in London more
than doable the number of people in
Denmark, including Greenland; nearly
three times as many as in Greece;
more than eight times the population
of Montenegro; some thousands more
than Portugal, including the Azores
and Madeira; nearly treble the popu
lation of Servia; more than double
that of Bulgaria; three-quarters of a
million more than in Holland; more
than Sweden or Norway, or Switzer
land. “And yet.*’ adds the same pa
per, “this splendid capital, the most
populous and wealthy city the world
has ever seen, is practically without a
government,**
C2l. Nelson Tift does not agree
with the News and Advertiser in
wanting the law which requires the
.owners of wild lands to give in the
*ame for taxation in the counties in
which the lands lie. His views npon
ihe subject are briefly set forth in an
article elsewhere in this paper. Col.
Tift is a large owner of wild lands,
and has donbtless given the wild land
question as much attention and con
sideration as any man in the State. He
was first to nnearth the wild land
frauds that led to the impeachment of
Comptroller Goldsmith a few years
ago, and tiie articles which he wrote
upon the subject at that time will
never be forgotten by those who were
engaged m defrauding the people and
the State tinker the wild land system
then in existence. We have no argu
ment to mike with Col. Tift, and will
only say that the article calling for the.
repeal of the present law with refer
ence to giving in wild lands was sug
gested by the numerous complaints
we had heard against the law as it
now stands.
Editor yews and Advertiser:
Hear Sir : We find in your issue
of the 7th inst., some remarks con
cerning the publication of the new
code, which we cannot pass unnotic
ed. Speaking of the delay in print
ing this valuable and indispensable
book, yon say: “The act authoriz
ing the publication of tbe new code
was approved September 16th, 1881,
vjubt one year ago. The preamble
recited that a revised and annotat
ed code, piepared by Geo. N. Lester,
C. Rowell and W. B. Hill, bad been
submitted to,'and examined by, the
Attorney-General, under the au
thority of a joint resolution of the
Gereral Assembly, and reported
upon favorably by him to the Gen
eral Assembly. The act then author
ized the said revisers to publish the
same as soon after the adjournment
of the last session as it would be
possible to obtain tbe acts of said
session. To many it has appeared
that the delay of one year in the
publication of a book, already pre
pared for publication, has been un
reasonable and suggestive of jobbery
of some kind. It might be one of
the duties of the General Assem
bly soon to meet to look into this
matter.’*
In reply to the foregoing we «ill
say:
First. Why did you not indicate
the character or the kind of “job
bery*’ which it was feared would be
attempted? It is an easy matter io
cry out “fraud,’’ “jobbery,*’ eta, bat
when spdcifications are called for
Ihfy ore not always forthcoming.
During the last summer we were in
formed that a rumor had gained cir
culation to the effect that we, the
publishers, would not bind the code
until the Legislature .met, so that
the act authorizing the publication
could be changed to admit of the
book being bound in sheep skins in
stead of calf, saving to us many
hundreds of dollars. This is the
only insinuation of “jobbery*’ that
we have ever heard whispered. The
attempt to injure us by insinuations
which have no foundation in truth,
cannot, in the leust, interfere with
the faithful discharge of our obliga
tions to the State, and will injure
the Jinn by which they have
been put iu circulation far
more than they will us. We
authorized a positive and indignant
denial of this report. You could,
not have refen ed to this
however, because of the extract you
make from the Post-Appeal states
that the code is nearly ready for de
livery, thus showing the insinua
tion that we were awaiting the meet
ing of the Legislature, to be entirely
false. When the General Assembly
does meet, the c >de, elegantly print
ed, and oound in calf, will be in the.
State Library, if not previously de
livered to county officers. This
work is the most elegantly printed,
aud bound that the State has ever
had. The best material has been
used and no'word of censure can be
justly uttered against us. The book
has cost u< a great deal more than
we or the compilers supposed it
would, yet we have discharged our
duty, and believe the people of
Georgia will give us credit foi trie
same.
Secoud. One jeir and a half was
required for the completion of the
code of 1873. Less than a year has
been consumed in the publication
of the new code, and while this is in
smaller type, it omprises at least
three hundred pages more than the
former code,
Third. The desire that the re
sponsibility for the delay in the de
livery of the code, shonld be shown
to rest, not upon us, but upon those
by whom it has been induced. We
have no words of censure for the
compilers, for they are lawyers of
fine attainments and as well fitted
for the work of compiling our laws
as any attorneys in the State. Nor
do we propose to defend them.
They are equal to the task of tak-
iug care of themselves, and proba
bly would not thank us to attempt
it. But we must speak in our own
behalf. The compilers did not furn
ish copy promptly. They lived in
different portions of the State, and
“proofs” had to be sent to them and
returned to ns by mail, causing seri
ous delay in the work of printing.
When the compilers were *ittending
to their court duties we were some
times under the necessity of waiting
for “ropy” for moie than a week at
a time. Had we not been delayed
we could have easily printed and
bound the book in four months.
Continued delays occurred both in
receipt of copy and return of proofs,
seriously retarding the completion
of the work. It is unnecessary to
farther particularize, but, again:
When the work of printing the book
was finished, we were subjected to
another delay in waiting for the in
dex, the compilers requiring seven
weeks to accomplish this work.
Duriug this period we did all in our
power to hasten matters, for we were
losing money by the ‘delay. How
ever, it is doe tbe compilers to say,
that to make a good index to a code
is not the work of a day, but re
quires time and labor. Only about
one week's time has elapsed since
we finished the printing. In order
that the book may be delivered
promptly, we have employed all the
help possible in oar bindery, and
hope to have the State’s quota ready
within a month from the time of
printing the last form, a feat that no
Son them house has ever been able
to accomplish, and of which we shall
feel proud. Our facilities for work
are staple, and having used every
effort to discharge our duty prompt
ly and faithfully to the public, we
hope not to be deprived of the ap
probation of the people by the ut
terance of unjustifiable insinuations.
In conclusion allow us to say, that
we fully agree with you in the opin
ion that “it may be oae of the duties
of the Legislature to look into this
| matter.'* We »gm*d to publish for
j the State a book of twelve hundred
pages at a certain price, and as the
book mad:; fifteen hundred and fifty
pages (in smaller type than was used
in the old code), we ho|»e the Legis
lature wi!I look imo the facts and
pay ua for the extra service ren
dered.
We feel confident that you will cor
rect any wroug impression yon may
have created in the public mind
while ignorant of the real state of
the case, for wc do not suppose you
capable, after this frank explanation,
of leaving the matter where It was
placed by your editorial to which
reference has been made.
Very Respectfully,
Jas. P. Harrison & Co.

President Arthur** Condition.
A Washington special says that
just before President Arthur left the
city, Surgeon-General Wales made
an examination of his physical con
dition, and found him suffering from
incipient Bright’s disease of the kid
neys. A distinguished specialist, of
New York, has since made another
examination, and confirms the sur
geon-general’s diagnosis. A course
of treatment has, consequently, been
prescribed for the President which
forbids high living and late hours,
and a general let-up on all business
out of regular hours at the* White
House.

to amuse us or attract our special

make a child happy. A doll, or a

for the time, but a circus is perhaps
the biggest thing that their little
brains can conceive of. They have
been playing menagery of late, and

tiu can that had mysteriously disap

the corner of the spring lot fence,

son says that they way to bring up
a boy is to teach him self-denial
early aud frequently. This is very
good theory, but you can’t do it in
practice. You can deny him of
course, but you can’t teach him to
deny himself. Children are children
—they are not philosophers. Thev
love fun aud frolic according to un-
tun\ just like grow n folks love

tli».t briiig less pleasure .and are
more vexation* and deceitful. It
is iuighi\ hard work to make a man
otu ol a boy Mr a. Arp, si e sets ’em
down to studying some good pious
verges sometimes but its an up hill
business, but they can le irn some
other verses by heart directly and
not half try, I dipped upon one the
other day while he was shucking
corn In the crib all alone, and 1
heard him singing a song, and it
wasn’t that good old rhyme about
“In Adam’s fall we sinned all,’’
But It went thusly :
Old Eve she did the apple rat
And smacked her lipi and said ’nvas sweet.
Old Eve she did the ap .le pnH.
And then she filled her apron lull.
Old Adam i-ecame bobbin around
And spied the peelings on the ground,
And then he laid on Eve the blame.
But we.it to eating all tbe same.
Old Noah he did build an a k.
And cover d it witn hickory bark,
The animals come in two by two.
Big buck rabbit and kangaroo,
And then come in three by three.
Elephants, 1 ox and bumole bee,
The water it kivered all the ground.
Bu\ che ark kept sailin’ around and around.
And so forth and so on, and a
chorus abont belonging to Gideon’s
band, and its curious to know where
ne learned it or tiie tune to it, for iis
not in any book in my bonsc. Mr.
Shakespeare says a man has seven
ages, which is so. I reckon, and I
think a boy has about the same
number before he gets to be a mau.
He goes through about five of ’em
before he begins to shave tbe fuzz
off bis chin and takes a fancy to the
looking-glass and wears a highly-
colored cravat and parts his hair
carefully with a wet brush and looks
down at the set of his legs as he gal
lops a martingaled pony to town.
And the gills have their several
ages, too, from the time they begin
to dress their dolls up to tbe time
that they laogh at everything,
whether it is funny or not. Its
mighty hard to keep children in the
right track, and I’m afraid that
most parents try a little too hard,
though I know very well that some
don’t try hard enough. I knew a
mighty good man who had
tbe worst boys in the town
aud cvetybody prophesied that
they would laud in the peni
tentiary, but he didn’t seem much
concerned about it, and one day
when I told him that his boys were
accused of breaking into a store the
night before he said he wouldn’t be
surprised at all if it was so, for he
himselt used to be the biggest devil
iu the Daborhood where he was
raised, bur that all of a sudden he
came to himsel f like the prodigal son
did and quit, aud be thought his
hoys had about run their time out
amt sowed their wild oats. And
shore enough they did quit all of a
sudden, and no better citizens can he
found thau they are now. Like
father like son. Children just as
naturally take after their parents ms
the young of any animal take after
theirs, and the best teaching a parent
can give his child is a good example
and the continual evidence of his
love. Not many children will go
back ou love and example both,
especially if there is a little reveren
tial fear of the hickory mixed up
with it in a judicious manner. Mrs.
Arp has sorter open a family school
for the children anil is trying to en
large their views of figures, and she
makes a first rate teacher, for she
likes figures. I put in a little occa
sionally, and the last sum I gave
was: if a cow and a calf is worth a
dollar and a half, what are two cow-
worth? She helped'ern work at it a
while, when suddenly it struck her,

Impot
vannab, Florida HI
Hallway—Completion oftbe iton-
HtufT Hailroad.
nd’s 1
Savannah Ness.
We nave the pleasure of announc
ing tbe completion of another link
in the great and important system of
the Savabnab, Florida aud Western
Railway—the road that runs from
Live Oak, Florida, to New Brad
ford, situated at Rowland’s Bluff, on
the banks of the Suwanee river.
From Monday, the 16th inst., it will
be opened by the Savannah, Florida
and Western’ Railway as an exten
sion of the South Florida division.
This road has been built by the
Plant Investment Company, under
the direction of Col.-II. S. Haines,
General Manager Savannah, Flori
da and Western Railway, with Col.
H. M. Dranc, Special Assistant in
the field, who haa attended to the
construction of the entire line. The
surveys were made by Capt JohnC.
Reynolds, Field Engineer. The open
ing of this line into tbe section of
country tributary to the Suwannee
river will very rapidly develop that
portion of Florida, and, it is antici
pated, will bring a very large busi
ness to the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway.
The regular stations and distances
on the new road are as follows:
Distance from Distance from
Name. Live Oak. Savannah.
Paddock 4 6 miles 183 6 males.
McAlpin 11 U *• 190 C 44
O’Brien 17 9 44 196 9 44
New Bradford 23 6 “ 202 6 44
The construction of the road, we
are informed, reflects the highest
credit upon Col. Dratte, who, as an
organizer, manager and worker, has
displayed rare ability,’and he has
been fortunate in having excellent
assistants.
We can fully indorse the follow
ing tribute, vhich was given by the
Live Oak Bulletin in an article com
mendatory of the gentlemen engag
ed in this enterprise:
“In the selection of these gentle
men for this and other work, we
note the clear and unfailing percep
tion of the master mind of one of
the greatest railroad men in the
South, Col. II. S. Haines, General
Manager of the S., F. & W R. R-,
and President of the L. O. & R. B.
R. R., whose strong blows for pro
gress and enterprise are felt in every
portion of our fair State, and in the
spirit of ‘honor to whom honor
is due,’ the laurel wreath of
Florida’s praises, blessings and
thanks will be placed npon
liis worthy brow. Eight years
of close observation in the service
and employ of the company man
aged by Colonel Haines enables us
lo speak in just and accurate lan
guage, and it is no fulsome effort at
praise when we declare that as a
railroad manager and developer he
lias no superior, aud though a strict
disciplinarian his able management
is tempered with thoughtfulness
and justice.

The season for sending fruits and
vegetables South, says the New- York
Sun, lias begun, and'will continue until
February. It is not generally known
that there are eight or ten firms in this
city engaged in supplying the South
ern market with exactly the same class
of vegetables and fruit that the South
ern market sends to Neiv'York earlier
in the season. For instance, there is
one firm that is now shipping oranges
to the very points in the South whence
come the orange for New York con
sumption in season. These oranges
come direct from Jamaica, and are re
shipped at less cost than would result
from running them in at a Southern
port. When the Florida oranges begin
to ripen the shipment from this port
will cease. The oranges are worth $10
a barrel here, and bring a good margin
in Savannah and Charleston. There
are also large quantities of grapes and
other light fruit. -
The demand for vegetables is exten
sive and increases every year. The
Sonth gets nearly all of its potatoes
from N t-w York and Philadelphia. The
whole Southern crop is sold out eai -y,
and they have to depend on the North
for supplies. Southern potatoes this
year sold off the farms for $5 and more
a barrel. Northern potatoes sell in tbe
South for less than $3 a barrel. There
is a steady demand for cabbages, and a
good market for apples ad tomaotes.
A prominent market man engaged in
the Southern trade said yesterday:
Th'e general rule is that whatever sells
here will sell in the South at this season
of the year. We have branch houses in
several Southern cities, and there is a
constantly increasing consumption of
the ordinary garden produce. This is
probably due to the increasing pros-
l>erity south of Mason and Dixon’s
line.
