Capi. Harry Jackson’s Address.
Below will be found a synopsis of
the beautiful and interestii g aduress
delivered by Copt. Harry Jackson,
of Atlanta, at ti e exercises of the
Lithonia High School on last Fti
day night, and reported by Col. Jno.
j{. Maddox of the Solid South. It is
a elegant address and we ask our
leaders to peruse it with care :
lie commended the the custom of
perpetuating the birth of colleges
and schools by appropriately cele¬
brating each recurring anniversary,
and stated that he was always ready
to contribute bis services upon such
occasions. However, he would riot
again indulge in a purely literary
address, as he had observed that they
often wearied the audience. It af
fordeded him peculiar pleasure to ad¬
dress h. High School, as all of the
education he had ever received was
nt just such an Institution as the Li
thinia High School. The years
which in the ordinary course of
events he should have spent at Col¬
lege, he devoted to the services of
the State of QeorSia upon tlie bat¬
tle fields of Virginia, earnestly en¬
deavoring with all his boyish power
and pride to assist in the vindica¬
tion of the principles of government
for which the people of the South
forget. From his sixteenth to his
twentieth year he wore the gray, and
marched beneath tlie southern cross,
and thus commenced life, when peace
was restored, w ith just such edu¬
cation, and no more, as this nourish¬
ing High Bcho-. l, under tire able
management of Prof. Milner, affords.
He then gave a roost interesting
and amusing account of a Georgia
boy’s experience during five years
spent at an English boarding school,
ilrawing parallels and presenting con¬
trasts between tho English and Amer
lean schools. ITe showed in pointed
terns how much there was for the
English to learn from the Americans
i ml for the Americans to learn from
the English. lie referred in the
strongest teims to the utter degrada¬
tion that would come upon the bov
who would there carry concealed
weapons, to use in ease of peisoual
difficulties, and appealed to the pco*
p!e here, through the influence of
public opinion, to destroy the prac¬
tice. He demonstrated how sure
were the operation of ihe laws there,
both civil and criminal, and bow the
gieat and the humble, the rich and
ihe poor, were equally 7 subjected to
punishment by impartial justice.
He referred lo the s'srtling discov¬
eries. astonishing inventions, and
rapid change ot thought, ot the age
in which we five, and showed that
there was hardly an ancient institu-'
tion, no matter how sacred in ihe
past, but what is trembling inihe
balance, when subjected to the search
iug criticism of mod«.rn investigation
and added that, when necessary to
the establishment of a truth, how
ever sad the revelation, away
the superstitions and the false mys
teries of the part, 1 however beauti
fully , „ they may be clothed in the
• loth of gold and decked with the
jewels of antiquity. Let us rather
look to the present and that glorious
future, which is opening betore us “
the of the . with
rose ear y morning,
tii** sparking dew upon its fragip.nt
leaf, dropp' d by the recording angel
to blot out the errors and mieftu tunes
o. fiiAMst the past, an o no to to ffive give life m., vteor v, & or
and strength to Uo funy matured
flower.”
In connection with the < dueation
of the girls ol the High School, he
referred to the rojs.ereons and all
pervading power of woman as
lows: “Her field of usefulness te
( jifferexat from that of man ; he hews
the rough stone—she polishes the
diamond ; he digs tlie crude <"C
elm r. fines the gold ; he conquers by
the ooltivntod intellect or the
developed muscle—she rules supreme
through the soft influences or ihe
heart. Her power is most peculiar;
it shrinks, lika the sensitive plant,
from the touch, and yet, unseen in its
operations, it constitues the music by
which ihe civilized world is moved
Tho home is the throne of her impe¬
rial sway, love her crovrn, and the
attributes and influences oflove, her
weapons. No earthly potentate,
with all his gilded trappings, occu¬
pies a throne so elevated, or wears a
diadem so brilliant, or commands an
army so potent. Man is but the
gilded ariovv which points whence
the wind cometh—woman is the force
which gives is direction ! Let her
with a clear head and. devoted heart
make the home the heaven of earth !
It constitues the first round of the
ladder whose last rosis upon the jas¬
per pavements among ihe angels, and
as the poor child ot humanity, with
weary tread and many a fail, rises
among thc r Vattlemenfs of the golden
city above the clouds, where all is
sunstiine and glory, it is womrn who
beckons him onward, it is woman
who uiges him forward, and as he
rises into eternity he can scarce dis¬
tinguish the anyels who we come
him there from those he has left bc
hind No stately mansion, lifting
its symmetrical form from the fum¬
ble earth, which it scarcely deigns to
touch, decorated by the hand of
luxurious art, and filled with the
treasures of hoarded wealth, is ue
scssarv to constitute such homo;
hut the humble cot wlich poverty
builds and want inhabits, if ill umined
by the light of domestic love and
pence, makes the home.”
The orator then eloquently refer¬
red to the homeless man as follows :
“The total absence of hope, which
one of the greatest of poets has por
trayed as emblazed over the portals
to the realms of Blulo and Proser¬
pine, can have r.o reality on this earth
to the unfortunate who is blessed
with a home. But let. the vanity of
fashion, ti c ambition of social diss
tinclion, or the love (f political
power, destroy that, and the unfor¬
tunate will realize ihat he hasenterel
where hopd is left bsbiiiu. Nature
may look as beautifully, birds m ly
sing as sweetly, society may move as
gracefully, but the homeless man
lands alone like the Alpine avalanches
has passed, shorn, of its branches,
frost in its he.ii-t, tottering toils final
testing place, and embracing the
u race with the joy with 'which the
bridegroom seeks his bride.”
The eloquent speaker further said,
with reference to the influence of wo¬
man: ol f the lives ( f those who have
achieved most for humanity are stu¬
died, rising here and there in the
paths of their existence, will be found
the modest flower, whether it he ths*

cutely sloped and directed their on
ward course, and the more inobstru
give the flower, the more exquisite
the faint perfume, the mote certain
the effect of its presence.
As to the Lithonia High School,
and Prof R.W. Milner. Mr. Jack
sou said : “How potent can this In
stitution, under its able management
be made for the good of your county,
stale iu.d country. Prof. Milner is

Domestic Recipes.
Cooking Without Eggs.—A t cer¬
tain seasons of the year,* it is pleas¬
ant and profitable to know how to
cook palatable dishes without using
eggs. Here is an excellent rule for
making rice pudding without eggs.
Wash a coffee cupful of rice in two
or three waters, then let it soak all
nigh’t in one quart of new milk. In
the morning add a little salt, a large
spoonful of butter, a little ground
cinnamon, and grated nutmeg. Put
in the pudding dish, and set in the
oven, allowing ample time, say two
hours for it to cook. Stir it fre¬
quently, but without removing from
the oven. When it is beginning to
bubble, add a quarter of a pound of
stoned raisins. Serve with powder¬
ed sugar, sprinkled over it when it
is put in saucers.
Chicken Patties, which are a de¬
light to the eyes and stomachs of the
children, are made by picking the
meat from a cold chicken and cutting
it in small pieces. Put it in a sauce
pan with a little water or milk, but¬
ter, pepper and salt. Thicken with
a little flour, and with the yolk of an
egg- Line some patty pans with
crust, not rich and yet not tough,
nib them over with the white of the
egg, and bake. When done, fill with
the chicken, and send to the table
hot. Cut out round cakes of the
crust for the tops of the little pies,
and hake on a common "baking tin. It
is very little trouble to do this, and
the pleasure afforded each child, by
" .wing a little chicken pie of his own
amply pays the right minded cook.
Something for Tea.—T ry this for
tea some night: Pick lip one tea
cup f u } G f codfish, lc-t it soak in the
, j. warm water, while you mix two

from twenty five minutes to half an

Prune Pudding. —A delicious
prune pudding is made by stewing a
pound of prunes ’till they are soft,
remove the stones, add sugar to your
taste, and whites of three eggs, beaten
to a stiff froth. Makes a puff paste,
for the bottom of a pudding dish.
After beating the eggs and prunes
together, till they are thoroughly

tt r*“ 7la T'T
A 0ne P int ol ‘ sifted flour, milk enough
to make a tlnn batter, about two
thirds of a pint, two eggs well beaten
a tablespoonful of butter melted and
a little salt. Mix milk and flour first
to smooth paste, add salt and butter,
lastly eggs. Have waffle irons hot
as for griddle cakes; butter or grease
them with pork. Pour in enough
batter to cover iron, put the cover
carefully down upon it, keep over the
fire about a half minute, turn over
quickly, leaving about same time.
Remove, sprinkle lightly with pow¬
dered sugar if desired keep hot un¬
til ready to serve.
Coax Bread. —Add to five well
beat eggs half a pint of milk and one
quart of sifted meal, in which a piece
of lard as big as a walnut has been
rubbed; stir in half a pint of sour
cream, half a teaspoonful of saleratus,
and add. It should be of the con¬
sistency of fritter batter, and if
thicker more milk must be added.
Put in a teaspoonful of salt, and
pour into well greased pans, baking
in a moderate oven.
French Pie—A ny remains of cold
meat, free from fat or gristle, paws
through a mincing machine till fine¬
ly minced, season with anything
liked and moisten with plenty of
gravy, have ready some potatoes
nicely mashed, and, after warming
the mince in a saucepan, turn it out
into a pie dish ; heap the mashed po¬
tatoes well up, spread two or three
bits of butter on the top and place
in a hot oven till hot and brown.
When well made this is a delicious
dish and very economical. Any
scraps may be used, the chief point
being to mince everything well. The
potatoes should be large and old.

■n-:is the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, ami ilie lirst suc¬
cessful restorer of faded or gray liair to its

It has had many imitators, but none have so
fully met ail the requirements needful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
Haul’s Hair Kknevek has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal¬
leled success can be attributed to hut cue
cause: the entire J'utJihnent of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun¬
tries, where they had never made an ellortfor
its introduction.

R Lai: we it wonderfully improves the per¬
sonal appearance. 11 cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
t’aein to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. The effects cf this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara¬
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
its use a matter of economy.
