WHAT THEY BAY.
In renvenation with some of tbo leading
members of tlm excursion party, The Consti
tution picked up tho
rOLLOWDCO SHORT INTERVIEWS.
i Deorgo Eversold, Hackman, O.: ???I am very
much pleased with whafJ havg seen of.Ocor-
ia. I don???t think that wo could have been
rested better In arty state. Two
young men who came with tho excur
sion havo told ine thnt they like tho country so
tvell thnt they are not going hack. I itm so
avorably improved with (icorgia that I ntn
'onilng hero to live, if I can get my wife to
agree to eonre. I am coming luck in February
Kcrshncr, of Spanker. O.: ???I am nroro
than pleased with Georgia, ns fur as I Imvo seen
tho state, i am surprised, too, nt tho size ami
character of your hotels and husiuessUotwe*.
This must bo a good state, or .von would not
have such a * prosperous city,
going down lower in your state.
?? Israel Dtinlinger, of'Dayton: ???'nils state
suits me ho far ns 1 havo seen it. From what
have learned the climnto that you have here
s such thnt our people will ???liko it. My cousin
1. At. Runlingcr, Is also fovorably impressed
with Georgia: In Ohio wo nro : in
lurk if wo ??? get six months in
tho year in which to mako our crop,while liore,
as 1 nnderstiml it, wo can havo nearly tiro en
tire year. This gives tho formers or. Georgia
n big advantage over those of Ohio. I think
that this excursion will result in a good many
people coming from Ob Jo to Georgia to settle.'
Stephen Mills, Hamilton, O:??????I am well
pleased with the country.- I was not looking

tho way that we linvo been treated* 1 expect

I can???t say that i have determined where I will

state. I tlripk that 1 havo already found tho
place that 1 want, and am going to see It to

thnt two-tliirdH of tho pcoplu.ou this ex-
urn-ion aro coming t<t Georgia to live
as soon as they eau decide ' upon a location.
Tho opportunities -here are so good that we
cau???t keep away. We can bettor ourselves by

suited in Georgia, he Is hard to please. After
seeing yotir state, Itliiuk it folly to talk of
going west. Our people know how to handle this
soil Iwttcr t Iran tiro people from Ohio. Clay soil
will bold fertilizers until vegetation takca it
out.. 1 know exactly how to work it to mako
it pay. I am going to get tip an excursion to
Georgia from our aeetioii, and 1 am going to
do it just because 1 think our people can mako
money by coming to this state. In my opin

going wcat.??????
THE OLD GOVERNOR.
BY- Xt*??.BSB Hf l-D,
Everybody wasafipid of-the old governor,
beeaure he was ??o cross and surly. And one morn-
ing he was cro#*cr and surlier thhn ever, because
he had been troubled for several days with a nut
ter which he had already decided, but which many
people wished to have reversed. A tnan, foiind
guilty of a crime, bad been imprisoned < end thorp
were Jlioee who,- eonvinced of his penitenco' and
know ing that his family needed his support, oar*,
nestly nought hi* pardon. To all these solicitations
the old governor replied *???no,??? and, having made
???up hi* mind, the old governor had no patience with
those who pefoisied in their intereeodoB#. Ho the
old governor was in high dudgeon one morning,
aud when he came to his office he said to his secre
tary: ???Admit no one to see me; I urn weary of
there' constant and renselere importunities."
Now, the Mrcretary hod a discreet, regard for the
. old governor's feel ings, and it was Veld oro that
I itm nee of n ind "so itr dcrericd him as to admit
his MifTering the old governor???s wishes to disre
garded. Ho !>oltcd the door and sot him>c!f down
at bin modest desk and simulated Intense enthusi
asm in hJs work. His simulation was more intense
(ban usual, for never before bad tbenecretcry seen
the old governor in such a harsh mood.
???Has the mail come??~where are the papers and
the letters:?????? demanded the old governor; in a gruff
oiee,
GREAT 31 EM ON TE.WERANCK.
Frem the Dio l.ew U???s Nugget*.
General Taylor gave tho weight of hU. ex
ample in fovor of total abstinence. A traveler
in the wret met nn emigrant on his way with
bia family to tho fertilo regions beyond tho
Mississippi. On one wagon was hung - a huge
jug. with tho bottom broken out. The emigrant
wnsnkeUhis reason for carrying that with
him.
???Why,??? lie said, ???That ia my Taylor Jug,*
???Aiul what ia a Taylor jug???? required tire
friend. ??????
???1 had a ion in General Thylor???a anuy lu
Mexirov" said the emigrant, ???turd tho old gen
eral told him to carry bis whisky jug with a
hole in thu bottom. Ever since that I have
curried my juglthat way aud I find it is the
best irtveutUm lever met with.???
Admiral Farregut was asked by one of* hit
officers the night liefore a great battle, ???Won???t
yon consent to give Jack a glass of grog in the
morning; not enough to make him drunki but
cuougk to mako him cheerful????
??????\YhI1 ???? A.ltniml Vm.*
Well,??? replied Admiral Kamgut, ???I ha vs
beeu to sea considemblo, 1 liAVe seen a battle
or two, but 1 never found that 1 wanted mm

An officer in his array dining with Genera
Washington declined the wmo. Tho general
requested the officer, by name, to drink a
sImm of wine with him.
?????You wtll have the goodness to exensu me.
general,??? was the reply, ???as 1 have mads it
a rulo uot to tako witie.???
A nmrarer of aurpriM and contsmpt ntn
through tho assembled guests. That a person
should refuse wine was too Usd, but that ho
should refris* it When offered it hy Washington
was Intolerable. Washington noticed tho foul
ing of hk guests and promptly remarked:
"Gentlemen, Mr. is right 1 honor
him for his frankness In thru adhering to an
established rule which ran never do him harm,
aud for the adoption of which I havo no doubt
be baa good reasons.???
What Seventy-live Cent* Did.
A former in Missouri writes that ho haa had

The foareus Petit Journals* Parti has a ymr
that prints MO^OO espies per hour.
???Here they are, Mr,??? raid the secretary, a* Ire put
llie bundle on the old governor's table. "Tlieise
i addrtwd lo you privately; the btrsinem letters
on.rsy desk. Would you like to see tliem now????
No, not now,??? growled the old governor; ???I
will read the papeca.and my private correspondence
first.??????
J.???ut the old governor found cause for uneasiness
In thlK v niiployitu , nl. The paper* dftcnsned the
affair of the impri*oncd man, and these private
letter* come from certain of tjio old governor???*
friend*, who, strangely enough, exhibited an inter
est in the self same prisoner???* affair. The old gov
ernor wa* highly dDguMed.
They should mind their own botinca*,"mattered
the old governor. ???The paper* aro very offieimw,
4 these other ftoople are ???imply impertinent. My
mind I* made up???nothing shall change me!???
Then tho old governor turned to his private sec
retary and bade ,hJm bring the business letter*, and
preiently the private secretory could hear tho gov
ernor growling and fumbling over the pile of cor
rotpondenco. He knew why the old governor \va*
excited; many of these letter* were petition*
-nr the people touching the affair of the linpriaon-
rnan. Oh, how they angered tho old governor!
???Humph!??? said the old governor at last, -T
glad I???m done with them. There aro no more, 1
???nppoas.???
When the secretary ???made fno reply the old gov
ernor waa surprised. He wheeled in hi* chair
searching))??? regarded the seeretaryfover liis*poota-
cle*. He taw that the,.secretary was strangely cm-
harrasHfd.
Yon have not shown me nil,,??? laid the old
governor, stqrnly. ???What 1* it you havo kept
bark?"
Then the/eerctary raid: ???I had.???fliought not to
thow it to you. It Ih nothing lmt a little child???s
letter???1 thought I should not bother yon with It."
The old governor was interested. A child's letter
to him???what could it bo atxxit? Such a thing hud
rcr happened to him before.
A child** lotte/; let me see It,??? said the old gov
ernor, and, although hi* voice wa* harsh, some
what of a lender light came Into hi* eye*.
???Tlx nothing but It scrawl,??? explained the secre
tary, ???and Jt comes from the prisoner???* child???
Monckton???* little girl???Monckton, the forger, you
know-.. Of course there'* nothing to ft???a niyo
???crawl; for the child I* only four years old. But the
gentleman who rend* it says the child brought It to
him and asked him to send it to the governor, and
then, perhaps, the governor would tend her papa
home.???
The old governor took the letter, and he scanned
It curiously. What n wonderful letter it was, ad
who but a little child could have written it! Such
strange hieroglyphic* and ftich crooked line*???oh I
It wa* a wondcrAd letter, n* you can imagine.
But the old governor raw something more than
the strange hieroglyphic* and crooked line* and
the rude Knelling*. Hc???conld see in and between
the line* of the little child's letter a sweetness aud
a pathos he had never seen before, turd on the
crumpled sheet he found a Iqye liko the Jove hi*
bereaved heart had vainly yv??rued.^r ( olr! so many ???
or seemed lo see, a lluic*b*c.vl bending
the crumpled |*tgc, a dimpled haiid tolling nt
its rude labor of love, and an earnest little face
smiling nt the thought that hi* labor would not be
in vain. And how- weaned tho little hand grew ???
ami how sleepy the little head became,*but tho
loyal little heart throbbed on and on with with pa
tient Joy< mid neither haml|nor head rested till the
task was done.
Hwret innocence of childhood;! Who would mo
lest thee???Who bring thee one shadow of sorrow?
Who would not rather brave all dangers,temlure all
fatigue*, and bear all burdens to shield thee from
the worldly ills thou dream???st notoff
So thought the old governor, as ho looked upon
ihc crumpled page ami raw and hoard the plead
|ng* of tho child's letter; for yon must know that
from the crumpled page there stole a thousand
utle voice* that murmured In hi* ears so sweetly
that hi* heart seemed full of tear*. Aud the old
governor thought of hi* own little one???God rest
her innocent soul. And It seemed to him as If ho
Could hear her dear baby voiceJjolnlng with this
Other's In tnntAil plead fug.
The secretary was amazed when the old governor
caid to.him: ???Ulva me a pardon blank.??? But what
most amazed the secretary was the tremulous ten-
dernoM In the old governor's voice and tho niixtl
nc??* behind tho old governor's spectacle* a* he
folded the erumplcd page reverently and pfit it care
fully in tho breast pocket of hi* great coat.
???Humph,??? thought the secretary, "the old gov
ernor haa a kinder heart than any of as suspected."
HANGING BY WHOLESALE,
Fr<m the Chicago News.
???Yea, J-roppoao three at a time ia quite A

had circumnavigated tho giobo seven time*,
and w hose home had been on the briny for
thirty-six years???"quite a fair hanging, that is,
In a retail way???but it ain???t a circumstance, to
the wholesale send-oft - I witnessed once in
China. A cigar? Thankl-don???t care if I do/???
said thd ancient mariner, an(Y???lighting it he
took a few pulls at the weed and hi* merAory
and settled hfmsplf In hi* chair to relate the
following to a Daily News reporter:
???It was along about - ;7 that 1 shipped in the
German bark La Mona, bound from Bombay to
Shanghai. We stopped ou the way at lino,
where we took . on board
a party of twenty-
three Chinese merchants. They had been to
Hue to dispose of their goods, and* were re
turning to Hong Kong with -their proceeds.
All went well until oil the Island of Hainan,
when we got becalmed and lay floating around
under the tropical air without a breath of air.
* ???Along about 3 in the afternoon onr lookout
descried a sail, which soon developed into a
fleet of sixteen Chinese, junks, whoso??? decks,
upon a nearer approach, could be seen covered
with nren, which told us without need of a
flag that they' were pirates. Thinking our
selves lost, as we were unarmed, but deter
mined to hang on to life an long as possible, we
all made for between the deck* and stowed
ourselves away in tho cargo. Wc. soon heard
the junks come alongside, tlic trampling of
me JUuKH CUI.lt" aiuiijwiuc. mu kKiilij'KUK
feet overhead, the nailing down of the natehes,
a dull, grating noise, and all was stilh

on the other side of the island. Wo went di

truth of everything rfid in the article above men
