The Augusta Chronicle winces under the statement of the Macon Telegraph that “a paper cannot crush a rival by making an ass of itself.’’ The Chronicle is not the only paper among the pretentious “leading dailies” of the State that might make a personal application of our Macon contempo rary’s remark.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Guzetb gives a detailed estimate of the losses in one-half the overflowed district in that city, which makes them $800,000. Double this for the uhole inundated area, and the total loss is $1,600,000. If this estimate be correct, the entire loses along the Ohio and Mississippi will probably reach $10,000,000. Congressman Van Akrnam, ©f New York, recently said: “I attended the memorial services of Abraham Lincoln in 186G.an« I those of Garfield in 1881.

To our notiou, this refusal will hasten by- years the ultimate downfall of the whole theory of protection. When the time comes to write the epitaph of that theory, nothing will be more appro priate than ‘Killed by its Fool-Friends.” On Monday evening Mrs. August us Roberts, living at Tilghmanton, Wash ington county Md., attempted suicide by swallowing a pin.

We trust we shall be able to lay before oar readera something of interest on the subject in a few days.

During the past eight years 10,453 com plaints was received, involving about 31,335 children; 3,068 cases were pros ecuted, 2,818 persons convicted, and 5,949 children were relieved and placed in homes and institutes. Duriug the past year 1,035 cases were prosecuted, and there were 1,000 convictions. The report gives a detailed account of some of the most distressing cases of cruelty which have come under the observa tion of the officers of the society. Thomas 0. Bond, Savannah, Ga., zays: “My wife snffered'from lack of npetite and weakness, and Brown’s Iron Bitters restored her to health.” If Joe Brown renews his attempt to foist his $50,000 donation on the State before the Legislature in Jury, there is a strong probability that he will be successful. He has seldom failed in carrying his point with the Legisla tures we have been having in recent years. (Fortunately however, those who opposed the measure before are known and spotted. Any man caught going back on his record in the matter will assuredly be well advertised. One thing is certain, the motion for a re consideration of their action, whether the samerbe unconstitutional or not— and for one we are satisfied that to do so would be clearly in the teeth of the present State Constitution—will occasion another long debate, by which more than the value of the hide-bound donation will be lost to the State. The next General Assem bly will have no time to spare to a discussion such as a movement of the kind would inevitably provoke. The only possible benefit that could arise from it would be to bring at once to a decisive test the question as to the absolute controlling supremacy of Joe Brown and his Atlanta ring in Georgia. These are too many county offices. The number ought to be reduced. While other reforms are in contempla tion, it wonld be well to bear >n mind the one that is demanded in the case mentioned. By reducing the number of the offices better salaries can be paid to officials, and a decided saving can still be mads.—Telegraph and Messenger. Both be:ore and after the election of delegates to the Constitutional Con vention of 1877, it was understood that this was one of the main abuses that would be corrected by that instru ment, and most of the delegates went up either under instructions, or with a full determination to do all in -their power to bring'about the desired re form. Another intended measure of reform also was the redaction of the Legislature to a good and effective working number of members. We hsve understood that both these plans were defeated on the ere of their adoption by the efforts of Mr. Stephens and General Toombs, principally the former, to whom they were for some reason, obnoxions. Mr. Stephens came to Atlanta during the session, and in a number of self-songht inter views and, we believe, in a public ad dress, declared himself opposed to these measures of reform and they were accordingly abandoned. Our contemporary is quite right in sayiDg that we have too many offices. We have too many offices and too few officers, except in name and title. fields which can be sowed in oats, rye, bey gar-1 ire and other araiirs and graces—the'colls can be eared tv r here as well ns they can on the bine gtu-s fields of Ken I to ky. This is no speculation either. Several people have tried it anil succeeded. Let the good work go on. Let Lowndes start a boom in this direction. Let her.lead off as she has done in the , track business.” —The Waycross Reporter of Sat urday last has the following item of a charater who figured somewhat in Albany last year: “A case of habeas corpus before Judge Butler, on Tuesday, created some little noise at least among the lawyers around the court house. Ben Williams, who some time last year stabbed a bail iff in Albany and made his escape from the authorities there, was heard from at Jesup and upon a telegram from the sheriff of Dougherty couty, Sheriff Miller of this county went down and arrested the beligerant Benjamin, and had him in jail here awaiting the coming of Sheriff Ed wards from Albany. Benjamin not content with the quarters famished him, or with Steve’s fare, sought re lief by writ of habeas corpus, alleg ing that Waycross jail was not a suitable place to keep a gentleman of his cloth in longer than was abso lutely necessary to unlock the door and tarn him out Judge Butler, however, thought different from Benjamin, and remanded him to the same, same old quarters at Steve’s hotel. Here to await yeta little while longer the coming of the Dougherty sheriff. Puor, poor Ben! —With the understanding that the “cudgel” spoken of below was noth ing more than a statement of the plainest facts and figures, borne ont by experience and observation, the following extract from the Camilla Clarion is worthy of attention about Albany just now: “Some one in Thomasviilehas said something late ly about Albany’s fogs, and neigh bor McIntosh very naturally takes up the cudgel and goes to work on his neighbor's head. We live just between both of these delightful towns, and have good reasons for claiming both as onr borne. Albany’s health record is as good as Thonias- ville’s or tint of any other lown. People die in both places. They even die in Camilla. If Albany will only build a hotel like the Mitchell House the world.will soon find ont, what wc already know, that there is no safer and pleasant winter resort in the land. The fountain of health in Albany is going to attract multi tudes, and Thomasville’s fine hotel has made it a great winter resort Now if these towns get np & rivalry we will set in and build a fine hotel in Camilla and bore an artesian well, and both places will wake np some morning to find out, what we al ia idy know, that Camilla ran lay them both in the shade as a health resort and the garden spot of Sonth Georgia. sick room !m.d no Midi attractions for him ns did field and other sports, lie delighted to lollow the hounds, and the sound of the huntsman's horn was music so irrcsistably at tractive to him that at times he would go to Ihe chase at risk of missing a call to a patient. lie would throw professional responsibility upon Dr. Meals for the time being, mount his horse, with his trusty double-barrel ill baud,and “away he would go to chase the bounding roe.’’ Bird hunting was mo small game for an Albany sportsman in those days. Deer and turkey abounded within a-half hour's ride. The “lo cust thicket drive,” not three miles West, scarcely ever failed to reward the huntsmen with one or more fat venison, and according to Arch Greers statement, Casey, when he i about eighty yards!” Then with as s-moi-ns the hounds “opened’* Arch said Casey forgot that he was ever in-ide of a medical college, he became so excited. Arch followed the dog’s “innate,” amt Casey put off for a “stand," where lie thought Ihe old fellow would pass and give him a chance tn bring him down ; but he was a conning old buck, Arch said," ami had fooled many a pack of hounds, and the hunters with them, who hoped to get his Anders for a trophy. He doubled on his track so much, and sometimes would cross water and thus throw the dogs off the seent for a time, until they could by circling around strike it again, tint tlie chase was a long one. He said he was all the time in hopes that in their long ciiasc lie could by head ing off the deer when the dogs were running in a circle (that was by tak ings nigh cut to a given point) get the first shot, but lie did not get a sight of lain. At last he heard Casey’s shots, two, one after Ihe other in quick succession, and pretty soon the dogs stopped their “music.’’ Making his way in lhal direction as raft as Ids horse could carry him, he saiil lie he-ird Casey’s “holler” before he got to hint,and oil getting tothespot he found dim he had the old buck -lire cnougo. alul as a matter of course was very exultant. He said the first question lie asked was: “Casey, ho.v tar did you shoot liiui?’’ and his reply was: “Well. Arch, t should say just was the fortunate shot that brought down the game, always reported to the Olliers when they approached the game and the slayer, “I shot hint about 80 yards 1’’ “Arch” said that Casey would never admit that he killed a deer under 80 yards. “Arch Greer,” as lie was familiarly called, or A. P. Greer, was the fath er of your present Mayor of the same name, and was a man who in those days enjoyed life to ihe full, and “never took more care on his head than he could kick off at his heels.” He was one of those warm hearted, cheerful, sincere men, that had many friends and but few ene mies. He was brave and generous to a fiult, witiiont any dissembling or hypocricy in his composition. It he was your friend, he was “yours to count on,” and those who didn’t like him. “always knew where to find him,” and if they felt disposed to collide with him, they always found “Barkns was willing.” Arch Greer’s friendship will always be green in the memory of those on whom it was bestowed, and while his pathway through life was not al ways strewn with flowers, he enjoy ed as many of its sweets as has fallen to the lot of most mortals. His in terests were identified with Albany from almost its first settlement, and when I first knew him he kept what is now called a hotel, on the north side of Broad street, near where the cast end of the Towns House stands. But he has passed away. He has paid that debt which, sootier or later, we must all pay. May his soul rest in peace. Well, Arch was fond of hunting also; he was fond of Casey, and he was also fond of a joke, and a good hand at telling a story. If it was necessary, in order to anmse his friends, he could, out of very scant materials, get np, on Tery short no tice, a perfect side-splitter to those who were acquainted with Ihe sub ject of it, so true wonld it be tn the j peculiar characteristics of the per-1 son on whom it was told. Besides ! being fond of hunting at the time to { which I refer, he kept two or three ! well trained deer hounds, which, with their master, were always in de mand when a “drive” was in con templation. If Arch couldn’t go, the hnnt did not promise mnch of suc cess. Arch being an old hunter, fa miliar with all the “drives,” or places where deer could always be found, and wilh the best “stands,’’ or places by which the deerjn a certain locali ty, when startled by the hound9, were almost certain to ran, and Casey being, when he first came, en tirely ignorant of such sports, was, of course, attracted to Arch, who be came his Mentor in all matters per taining to hunting. Many a joke have I heard him tell of which Casey was the butt, growing out of his fondness for practical jokes, aud the j merry tn inkle of his eyes Arch would mill to his listeners : | “Boys, Casey forgot all about, bis palieiil until wc got back to town with that back.” Another strong tie between Arch and Casey was tlieir political affinity. They wcre’both warm, enthusiastic Whigs. So was Dr. Meals. And there was a young Dr. Crawford there, a son of old Wm. H., whose office was next door to Meals & . Ca sey’s, also a Whig, [and about those offices was Whig head-quarters 1844. Dr. Casey settled the lot on which Dr. Hilsman now resides, and brought his wife there when first married, I think. In fact that place seems to have fallen peculiarly into the hands of the medical fraternity. Dr. Casey first, then Dr. Rodger Q. Dickinson, and lastly Dr. Hilsman. This jump of forty years is a long one when you look ahead, but short when yon look back, save when yon count the mile stones of years by the events which have transpired, and the changes which have taken place; and as the long locked door of mem ory swings back upon its rusty binges, phantom forms arise before us in the shape of friends long sleep- ing in the silent graveyard, or if liv ing, we know not where, and point us back to the record of a half century ago. When we obey the silent indi cation and fix onr thoughts upon that misty past, by the aid of the mental vision, we read some of its records with the same ease as if but written yesterday, while other parts are somewhat blurred or dim and cannot be so easily interpreted.

E. F. Hoge, the Evening Herald rays: “The Evening Journal is the name of a new paper to be cast upon the soft unpurtnrbed waters of Atlanta one afternoon during this week. The Evening Journal is to be conducted by Col. E. F. Hoge, who has hetc- tofore been well-known in this com munity as a lawyer, ami one of ability. He is at present a member of the Georgia Legislature from this (Fulton) county, and was promi nently spoken of os speaker. Col. Hoge and his associates enter the field of journalism as a business, and will pursue it to its legitimate results. —The following is a portion of an interview between a representative of the Thomasvilie Times and Capt. R. G. Fleming, General Superin tendent, and James L. Taylor, Gen eral Passenger Ageut of tne S., F. & W. R’y., last Wednesday: “In con versation with these gentlemen we were assured, and here state it for the benefit of onr truck farmers, that every facility possible on the part of the road will be exteuded to shippers to get their produce into market with the least delay and at the smallest expense. Before Jbar- vest season steel rails will have been laid over the entire line to Chatta hoochee, and with this improve ment and ample trains, shippers will have little trouble in marking their produce. The recent troubles—run offs, collisions and delays—which have caused more or less complaint, are dne mainly to the unusual press of business before the rolling stock and road bed could be improved to meet the case, and not to carelessness on tbe part of the management. These improvements, as before stat ed, are being rapidly made and will at an early day be adequate to all demands.” —From the Rome Daily Bulletin we haTe the following sad and piti ful account of a recent attempt at sui cide in that placre: “Wednesday night one of the women known'as the “Red Light Girls” was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and lodged in one of the new cells at the City Hall bnilding. It fortunately, for the girl’s life, happened that Po liceman Brown at half-past ten that night passed afohnd thc cells, and in looking inio them discovered woman banging and apparently dead.’ The key was promptly procured and the woman cut down, aud her body fell to the floor to all appearance lifeless. It seems she, after sober ing np a Iittie, discovered her con dition and where she was aud con cluded to end her miserable life by suicide. She took one of her stock ings, a very fine one, and a pink silk garter, and with these made a strong cord, and after fastening one end lo the ceiling of the cell and tbe other farmed into a noose around her neck, nil was ready to start on the long journey.. She then threw her weight on the cord, and was in a fair way to take her own life. She certainly would have been dead before Policeman Brown dis covered her if she had not had the weight all on the back of her neck, and as it was she escaped n suicide’s fate by the narrowest chance. A. few /ears ago some foal wretch, called man, possibly under the pretension of marriage, seduced this, then pure and innocent girl from virtue’s cred walks, and, demon that he was, and hell-deserving as lie is, aban doned her, and she, homeless, friend less, shameless and alone, sells her soul to keep her body alive, and at last, remorse and a quickened con science prompts her to hasten tbe end. In pity let us draw the enrtain over her sin—‘moie sinned against than sinning.’ ~ —Under the heading Va sensible young man” the Savannah Recorder gives the following remarkable in stance of taking a philosophical view- of things under trying circumstan ces, and very properly commends it to general observance by yonng married men elsewhere: “A young gentleman ofSavanuah,a prominent assistant in a firm doing a lucrative business, caugbta friend huggingand kissing his wife. Instead’ of getting red behind the ears,muttering scarce ly subdued oaths, making a jackass of himself, flying into a passion and accusing her of want of fidelity and keeping up the good name of tbe family, he very philosophically sur veyed the position and good natur- edlv forgave them both. He said he loved and respected his wife aiid knew she was irrcsistably attractive, and if any yonng gentleman wanted to kiss her and the oseoiatory indul gence was mutual, why be would not get mad. It was very philosophi cal doubtless, but nine men ont of ten, if they were physically able, would have repelled the invader and kicked him qnite -forcibly. Then, again they wonld have abused the wife, for her paroxysmal feelings and labial desires.
