Ex-Governor Itrown'* gilt of ♦50,000

to accept any valid bonda without

that body cannot now reptniiae the ‘

Tu* Constitution, Governor Boyn
ton and Atlantagot taken In on Monday
last. A report was circulated that
Ex-Prcaident Diaz, of Mexico, would
arrive on the Western and Atlantic
train. A smart young mao from tbe
Constitution was on hand to inter
view him, while Governor Boynton
was there to welcome him to these
"New-ninety States.’’ Meantime, Gen.
Diaz wav in New York enjoying him-
aelf, and tbe Constitution and the
Govenor went home chewing the bit
ter cud i’f disappointment. However,
the distinguished Mexican will be
along in about two weeks, which
will give tbe Constitution young man
time to write up hi* interview in good
style, and Governor Boynton can get
op a very patriotic li»tle piece In that
time.

Thu folio wing resolution was then
care of itself when confronted by so
harmless a paragraph as the one quoted
above from tbe News and Advertiser
It not only disparages Albany and
“that locality’’ but it hides behid a
"respected citizen” of Augusts, and
publishes a statement which every
physician and intelligent citizen in
this city knows is not true.
No part of Georgia, nor of any
other well watered or heavily timbered
State, as for that matter, is entirely
f>ce from malaria at all seasons, but
we robmit that the Chronicle slanders
Albany and “that locality” when it
undertakes to create the impression
that tiiis is such a malarious re (ion
that it is unsafe for people to come
here from other sections of the State
to obtain tbe benefits of our matchless
artesian water.

the people will allow two or three

Itionograi-b.
Among the young Women who ask
important and sometimo perplexing
questions of this paper,* say* the
Times, is one who wants to know
wliat kind ofa vontig inan she should
marry. Her particular anxiety is to
know whether it Is safe for a girl
without money to marry a man with
out a trade. It is rather unusual for
a girl in love to look so far ahead as
this or take such a practical view of
life. Few of them ever lldnk be
yond liotv they will lo>k at the wed
ding, or whether it would be better
to have the services at home, in
church, or whether, as a matter of
romance, she ought not to run away.
The trouble wld» the young woman
iu the present case is Ihnt she is en
gaged ton nice young man who never
learned a trade, lie thought It was
much ulcer to tako a clerkship,
where he got s ; xleon dollars a week,
ami where the work doesn’t soil his
clothes. The young woman has been
studying ibis qncstiou with rather
more philosophy and good judgment
than the sex is usually credited with.
She feel* ns if clerkship* a* a gen
eral thing do not pay well, do not
afford much opportunity for ad
vancement, and arc of less tenon
than almost anything else.
She finds that the young mail who
early learns trade*—good, honest,
useful trades—seem* to have more
ambition, arc sturdier and bettor di
rected.
The young woman ha* clearly
reached "a sensible conclusion. The
subject about which she inquires is
not altogether new. It lias been dis
cussed in these column* before. It
is always Interesting, however. Girls
ennnot bn advised that it would be n
misfortune always to marry a clerk,
