One of tli* most curious facts con
nected with madness is the utter
absence of tears amid the insane,
YY hatever the form of madness, tears
are conspicuous by their absence,
as much in the depression of mel

in the utter apathy of dementia,

t iatit is one beginning to recover,
1 r an emotional outbreak in an
epileptic who is scarcely truly in
sane, while actual insane persons
appear to have not the power of
weeping; it is only returning reason
which can once more unloose the
fountain of their tears. Even when
a lunatie is telling one in fervid
language how she has been deprived
' - her children, or the outrages that
bave been perpetrated to herself,
her eye is not even moist. The
ready push of tears which accom
pany the plaint of the sane woman
contrasts strangely with the dry
eyed appeal of a talkative lunatic,
It would, indeed, seem that tears
give relief to leelingg. which when
pent up, lead to madness. It is one

The following lines we clip from
the Oglethorpe Eiho, of last week.
Brother Gantt always take* a clear
view of everything coming under
his observation, and aa a sentinel
from the tower, speaks as he thinks
best. No doubt, many of the
country weeklies would do well to
follow his example—only, he has
his figures much too low on com¬
munications aliogether. Say, 10
cents a word, and consider The
Advance down on that list. Hear
him :,
“So long as good and true men
are in the field the Echo docs not
intend to take sides in county poli¬
tics; but will insert communica¬
tions for all sides at the rate of one
cent a word. County announce¬
ments, $5; State officers, $10. We
have found out that political grati¬
tude is the poorest currency in the
world to run a paper on.”

Trying to Pray Out of Jail.
The Dardanollo Artansian says ;
"An ohknegro preacher, confined in
our district jail on charge of trading
mortgaged property, believes very
strongly in the efficacy of prayer,
(hat is if his pra3'ersarc any sign.
Every night before retiring, be gets
down on his knees and prays very
enthusiastically and vociferously for
himself and others who are confined
in jail, and occasionally puts in a
lick for the attorney who has charge
of his case. In one of his prayers,
a day or two since, ho is credited
with having said “Lord God do
have mercy on Lawyer Cunning¬
ham, and may ho lead me out of
jail hko Moses lead the children of
Israel out of the wilderness.” His
prayers are listened to with marked
attention by the other prisoners
He has taken a hard job on himself
in trying to save lawyers through
prayer.
llo%v to Avoid llad Husbands.
Never marry for wealth. A* wo
man’s life consisted not in the
things she possesses.
Never marry a fop, who strut 8
about dandy-like in his gloves and
ruffles, with a silver-headed cane,
and rings upon his fingers. Be
ware! There is a trap.
Never marry a niggardly, close
fisted, mean, sordid wretch, who
saves every penny, or spends it
grudgingly. Take care lest he stint
you to death,
Never marry a stranger, whose
character is not known or tested,
Some girls jump into the fire not
knowing it.
Never marry a man who treats
his mother or sister unkindly or in¬
differently. Such treatment is a
sure indication of a mean and wick
ed man.
Never on any account marry a
gambler, a profane person, or one
w ho in the least speaks lightly of
God or of religion. Such a man
will never make a good husband.
Finally, never marry a man who
is in the least addicted to the use of
ardent spirits. Depend ujnrn it,
you arc better off alone than you
would be tied to a matt whose
breath is polluted, and who is be¬
ing destroyed by alcohol.

The County Court.
The peopld of Oglethorpe county
are somewhat excited over the
County Court question. For several
years Oconee county Jias had its
County Court, and has derived n
considerable benefit frfem it. We
copy some extracts from the Echo
upon the subject:
“As tb* Superior Court convenes
next week, anp *as the question of
croating a County Court for Ogle
tborj>e will then be presented to the
Grand Jury for their serious con¬
sideration, we take this occasion to
offer some reflections touching its
adoption:
Nearly every county in the State
has taken advantage of the statuary
provisions except Oglethorpe, and
wherever a court has been once es
tablished it lias proven of peculiar
and inestimable benefit to the
county adopting it. We know
with some, there is a reluctance in
wandering from the old landmarks
of the past, but surely it should not
bo so whan the best interest of the
county demand it.
The primo object of the County
Court act is to secure to parties liti¬
gant a speedy trial; to simplify
suits at law, and to hear and deter¬
mine, without delay and unneces¬
sary expense, minor criminal cases
—misdemeanors. It is intended to
take from the Superior Court the
minor cases which now clog its
docket, to the postponement of
more important business.
It is intended to invest some com¬
petent and efficient citizen of this
county with authority to hear and
determine misdemeanors, and
thereby relieve the Superior Court
of the numberless cases of this char¬
acter that now infest its docket
A County Court for this county
will not only pay its own expenses
but put money into the treasury.
The last report of the County Judge
of Greene county shows that nearly
one thousand dollars has been real¬
ized to the county from that source,
besides the necessary expense in¬
curred by the court; the last Grand
Jury for that county, after the most
careful investigation, unanimously
recommended the continuation of
the court.
If the Grand Jury will, therefore,
take advantage of this statuary pro¬
vision at this term of the court and
recommend a County Court and
elect as the Judge a competent and
efficient man, time will fully dem¬
onstrate that it will not only relievo
the Superior Court of the petty ca¬
ses that now clog its docket, save ’ I
jail fees and pay money into the!
treasury, but it will preserve the
authority of the law, now so com¬
monly used speedv for mercenary purposes
