Congressman Cannon, of Utah, is

of twenty-seven small boy*, each of

Bleeding of a wound in man or
beast can be stopped by a mixture
of wheat flour and common salt in

A North Carolina couple, who arc
each over ninety years of age, desire

Lave completed their funeral outfit
even to their tombstones.
In New York a baby is born every

1 n sixty-two year* from 1815 to
3 87C, the number of emigrants that
lift Great RriUain was upward of
8/100,000,000, and of this number
viry nearly 5,(00,000 came to the
United States, thut's “hall” we sup-

Hon. John A■ Cuthbert, of Mobile
s still practicing law in that ci1y,
although 91 years old. He was an
i flicer in the war of 1812, and was
elected to Congress from Georgia in
1519.
In California a thief stole an
ovircoat from the saddle of a horse.
The owner’s dog saw the thief, fol¬
lowed the man to his home, made
him give up the coal, and look the
master to the thief.
The finest sot of sable furs in Eu¬
rope is in possession of u lady in
England. This set used to belong
to the late Empress of Russia,
mother of the present Czar, and
there is some little talk about them
You find yourselfrefreshed by the
presence of cheerful people. Why
not make earnest effort to confer
that pleasure on others? You will
find half the battle gained if you
never nllow yourself to sny anything
gloomy.
The effect of the proposed new law
in South Carolina requiring every
voter to write his own name on the
registry list will bo to disfranchise
70,830 colored voters, 12,490 white
voters, a majority of the present
voting population.
The Cincinnati Commercial (Re¬
publican) says: “It might as well
1 e understood at once that the ad¬
vocates of Grunt desire to change
the form of our government Let
us have the issue whether the re¬
public is to bo maintained fairly
made."
It is rumored that the English
convert* to the Church of Home
coutcmplate raising subscriptions
to the amount of 11,259,000 for the
purpose ef erecting on the bank* of
the Thames a metropolitan Catho¬
lic cathedral which shall rival St
Raul’s in grandeur.
The Molly Maguires, who dwell
in the midst of the “Christian civili¬
zation’’ of Pennsylvania, are report¬
ed to have again organized for deeds
of violence and hlood-*hed. The
“barbarous Southerners” get along
tolerably well in the absence of all
such concomitant* of Cameronian
civilization. The South ia scarcely
loyal enough to sustain such organi¬
zation*, but while there’* life there's
hope.— Sparta hhmatliie.
The Greenes hero’ Jftrail of last
week is responsible for the follow¬
ing : “The good people of Pen field
were somewhat excited out Monday
afternoon, over a very remarkable
meteorological phenomenon. About
4 o’clock, p. in., a danse cloud was
seen approaching rapidly from the
Southwest; almost as quick as
thought it enveloped the town, ap¬
parently moving on the ground, and
obocuring houses and trees, uot a
drop of rain falling, in the store
of Boswell Bros., persons could not
be distinguished across the store,
and artificial light had to be called
into requisition. Several of out
citizens noticed this same cloud
hanging over Mr. Geissler’s and re¬
marked on its peculiar appearance.’
THE TWO ELEPHANTS.
The Harlem Columbian arise* to
remark, on the subject of Tilden
nnd Grant, say*, “Some friend has
kindly sent us a copy of the Edge
field Monitor, from which we copy
the following article. A* the editor
eays it would perhaps be Letter for
both parties if these two aspirants
were out of the way. Tilden see,..*
to l>« Georgia g choice,
1<C the old fellow Will .tahjot pull through
all right. Hear the Monitor man:”
The Republican and Democratic
parties each seems to have an ele
pliant on their hand*, and what to
*> • w«—»• ‘i uM, * on .m* »
taxing the brain of at least the Pre«
all of wliotn would Undoubtedly feel
more supremely * * happy i ■. if these two
dear , charmer* , were away. Grant
looms up 1 in the pathway of Blaine,
Conkhng „ and , Sherman, and . like ...
Bancho’s ghost, will not “down,”
however much they and their friend*
may proclaim against a third term,
The party itself appears to he divi
ded a* to w liat they shall do in the
matter. Evidently they are afraid
to take him up nnd they are afraid
to throw him aside. If he would
withdraw absolutely and uncondi¬
tionally wo believe it would he a
great relief to a large majority of
the Republican party. There would
Iren better chance of uniting the
party on some one of the oilier
candidates.
And Mr. Tilden stands in precisely
the same relation to the Democratic
party. If he was out of the way
the Democrats would know what to
do. They don't want him and yet
they are afraid of hitn. He wields
a power in the party which makes’
it dangerous to oppo.e him, and
there is a weakness about him that
makes it equally dangerous to nc
cept him. As for ourselves,
we could support him heartily if
nominated by the convention, we
candid!)’ wish lie was out of the
Way beyond si possibility of the
nomination. But lie is not and we
therefore would not be surprised to
sec him our next standard bearer.
Talbotton will have a spring fair.
Ileal estate in Brunswick is now
booming.
Macon is said to be the dullest
town in the State.
Judge Thomas Stokely, of Car
tcrsville is dead.
Friend Lewis is calling upon
Hancock county to organize.
Old iron is being shipped in large
quantities from Marietta.
Rust has appeared in several
counties in southwest Georgia.
The sand pear is being extensive¬
ly cultivated in Berrien county.
Georgia towns are beginning to
make ready for memorial day.
It is stated that general IV. T
Wofford, of Bartow, will certainly
make the race for governor.
I>r. \V. L- Hitchcock, of Madison,
has been elected one of the vice
presidents of the Georgia Eleetic
Medical Association,
Judge Lumpkin, when practicing
at the bar, wound up a $100,000 es¬
tate, which took him twenty years,
and his charge was $50.
The Conyers Cornet Band have
tendered their services at the ap¬
proaching meeting of the editors
and publishers of the Stale at Cuth
bert.
General Gartrell is now favorably
spoken of for the next Governor.
This flattering use of bis name, in
connection with that distinguished
office, is not confined to any partic¬
ular locality. From the mountains
to the sealawrd, from the Savannah
to the Chattahoochee do we hear
enthusiastic praise of this distin¬
guished Georgian. He has served
his native State honorably in her
legislative halls, and in the United
States Congress, as well a* illustra¬
ted her honor upon the field of
battle, and in no solitary instance,
to our knowledge, has he been
found wanting. If nominated no
one will battle for his election more
zealously than we, nor rejoice more
sincerely in his elevation to the
highest office in the gift of our
people. What we say of Gartrell,
we say of any of the distinguished
names spoken of for Governor.—
