Jefferson Davis lias written Mr ‘ Atlanta that the ac toil friend in Missis f« of the race riots in a^-lso , ivere gi-eatly exaggerated, said: “Though it may He a Wal it is true that race - ^nflictsgenerally s , occur where e0J few compared to eo , r0 g S , u -e the whites and the personal as ^ciations much closer than on the plantations, On* our island we have 500 or 600 blacks and say tea or a dozen whites.

He has now f n before his depart gone aw ay, but area w ell-behaved sober young m defeated the negro m the last election contest, which at least shows that the negroes to a large extent are willing to trust a white man. ’’ Mr. Davis rarely writes a letter, however brief, without giving the country something to think about. —-- The man who always tells Die exact truth in this world on every possible occasion may have a clear conscience, hut he will ne\ er 06 popular among his neigh ois. It is said that a Macon county man who lost liis wife a few days since, in expressing thanks to his neighbors for kind attention said: ‘ I hope to be able to return these gad duties to you in a few days/’ A citizen of 'Webster county says be has lived in five counties since lie first settled where he is now living, and yet he has never moved. He first lived in Bee county, was cut off’ into Randolph then into Stewart and again into Kincliafoone, which was after wards changed to Webster. He never moved at all, but the conn ties moved to him and formed wound him. On March 4, contrary to some predictions, Hon. A. II. Colquitt rill become his own successor in the United States Senate for a term of six years. Gov. Gordon lias mailed to the president pro tem. of the Senate the certificate of his election. The certificate was carefully prepared, as on a former occasion Mr. Ingalls re¬ turned the certificate of Senator Brown’s election on account of a slight defect. At Greensboro Saturday the election went against the issuing of bonds for school purposes, by a good majority. The negroes voted almost solidly against bonds, Under the act an election can be keld every thirty days.

Sanctified Habbakuk. The Boston Transcript is au thorny for tins readable story: “Another story that goes back to the same nieetin house in Wren tham is one of a worthy man name Habbakuk P—, a resident of the town and a faithful attendant upon worship, who had been blessed with four wives, one after another. Habbakuk was rigidly orthodox, as his name seemed to demand, and was always in his pew on the Sabbath. lie sat there in his conspicuous pew, with No. 4 by his side, on the first Sun day morning after their marriage, It was a balmy June day, and the zephyrs from the open window toyed playfully with tho brides white satin bonnet ribbons and the groom's silken locks. There was a stranger in the pulpit, who had exchanged for the day with tho venerable Mr. F—, the pastor of the church. After reading a few Scripture passages thesfcrang er proceeded to read a notice w ] dcb be bad f ound - n the Bible, wMch Wftg as {oiiows; ( < Mr Habba kuk P-desires the prayers of the congregation, that the death of his wife may he sanctified to him for his spiritual good.” “Then, while the congregation was between stupefaction and ex plosion, the clergyman went on with the services at a rapid rate. He was at a loss to know why the congregation seemed to be throughout the remainder of the services on the point of laughter, but at dinner Mrs. F— the pastor’s wife, explained to him that Habbakuk P- sat three rows from the front in the broad aisle with his brand new wife, and he had read an old notice that Mr F---had proba bly been using for a book-mark ever since the death of wife No. 3. Frequently accidents occur m the household which cause burns, cuts, sprains and bruises; for use in such eases Dr. J. H. McLean s Volcanic Oil Liniment has for many years been the constant fa¬ vorite "family remedy. A special from Memphis reports that Rev. A. B. Graves, formerly pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Atlanta, has become insane. He was adjudged insane in 1887, and committed to an in¬ sane asylum, whence he was dis¬ charged as cured about a year ago. He has lately been travelling agent for Prespyterian papers of Louis ville and St. Louis, and las insan ity suddenly returned and was vio lently manifested when he reached Memphis on Friday last. Wine-drinking and cigar-smok ing are bad habits. They impair the pocket and mind, and will lead to a waste of time. Bo neither lavish nor niggardly; of the two, avoid the latter. A 1 mean man is universally despised, hut public favor is a stepping stone to preferment. Therefore, generous feelings should be cul¬ tivated.

It is thought that even tho new Preside ut will be required to buy a ticke t. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Morton will be the only deadheads at the ball. Another city in Georgia has served a practical notice to tramps. Mayor Grimes of Columbus lias sentenced one of the hungry army to tho rockpile for thirty days. Macon took the lead in this busi ness and several other Georgia cities have followed suit. It will soon be noised abroad among the host of tramps that Georgia is in¬ hospitable soil for them.

The elegance of language can be acquired by tho reading of proper books, but they can bo more readily acquired by exam¬ ple and companionship. Parents who use chaste language will in¬ sensibly teach their children to nse it. Some one has said that “the Christian, when alone, has his thoughts to wpten; in the fami ly, his temper; in company, his tongue.’’ In doing so, he will illustrate his morning devotions, by \ X { H actions through tho day. it fa aad to say that in many Cnristian homes, purity of lnn gunge is not prized as it ought to be.

In some counties of Georgia the roads are in such condition as to be almost' impass¬ able, and consequently land in those counties 1ms a small value comparatively. The first step toward securing good roads is the organization of a state engineer¬ ing bureau to devise a sj'stem of public roads, to agree upon plans for making the-roads, and to frame laws for keeping thorn in repair. They could be kept in repair by county convicts, For years we have contended that in no other way can county convicts be so profitably employed as in work¬ ing the public roads.

Edmund Burke, the English statesman and orator, is credited with having said, “Manners are more important than laws. Upon them in a great, measure law de pend. The law touches , here us nnd there, now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady uniform, insensible operation like that of tho air we breathe in.

To make this illustration of a restored Union more striking, it may be stated that while Gen. Jones was a gallant Union soldier, he had throe brothers in the Con¬ federate army and one in the Con¬ federate navy. ag MlUUL ' .H y^ EJ H Old people suffer much from disorders of the gratified urinary organs, the .and are always at w onderful effects of Dr. J.
