Deed Lea- gustos Disarmed With, end Oood Enx- lXeh Cornice to tho Front-Nous. CopyilghtedUtt. All tights reserved The timed we live in will not nuke men great, but there is no reason why they should npt-iuako them pood. It takes oxcltcmcnt, peril, revolntion. to nuke men great. There mnat be some stimulant to awaken and de velop the alnggish, slumbering powers of a great mind. It b- said that Daniel Webster Wat considered common, and not at ail bril Itant, until he wi< employed in a great ease, and be roused un like a Hon and shook his mane and roared and suddenly became great. Patrick Henry would have been nobody but a lazy fisherman f jthe revolution had not aroused him. There are lots of men Just like terrapins—you have got to pat fire on their hacks to mike them move. X eras ruminating over the great men of Qcorgia who havepassed away within a few years. Toombs and Stephens and Ben Hill and Jenkins and Her hoi V. Johnson, and I wondered if this present generation would ptoBuco such m< u. Not likely, unless some great contest looms up and agitates the nation. There were great issues before the people whtu these men and their cotemporaries camo.to the front. Bat for those lames they might have moved along ae smart men and good lawyers, hat made no great rep utation as Double men and tribunes of tho people. In fact tome of them were naturally Indolent—not .indolent of mind but non-ag gressive. They preferred to read and study and ponder and philosophise rather than take the field in action. They loved scholarship and they were acbolars. No man can bo great without being a scholar. Webster and Uboato and Calhoun wore splendid scholars—stndonts of history and mis ters of the languav' i, but Clay was not and hence Clay’s speecuta will not comparo with theirs when you read them. He wes a good orator but not much of a statesman. He lacked the eoholanhip. Ail of the old time statesmen won lino scholars. Fickney end Wirt and Woodbury and Adame and Madison and many others. We do not have such now * days. Oar people have not S t time. I’ll bet that outsido of o professors in college there an not ten men in Georgia who can taka up a Latin or Greek Iwuk and read it right along and translate fluently as they read. The pro fessors can’t do it except in the ngnlar text books they nave: been over a hundred time* Still, we have some very polished onltared men in Georgia, but they don’t take much stock in politics. They would llko to bold office, hut it has not been their trade to work for it. Dr. Felton • is a ripe scholar, and lovea study for its own sake, and he never sought ofllco until he was pro voked into it a few years ago. I don’t belfcvo ho likes it as much now as ho thinks ho does. I think ho is happier at home with his wife . and bis good eon Howard and hie books and hlafarm, bnt he don’t know it. Sometime ago I borrowed one his hooka, “Macauley’s Essay,," and fouud it annotated on most every page and on the fly leaves with his own comments. Ho did not gallop over it like moat of us. Ho reads for study and digestion. I wonder how many Georgia boys have read Macanley, But I expect that Mr. C. C. Jones, of Augusta, is the most accomplished eobolsr in the state, and I know ho is one of her noblest and moat useful citi zens. Such men are ulways unpretentous and hardly ever get their Just deservinge until thoy are dead. J. C. G. Black Is another polished scholar, who tome bow or other don’t want office bad enough to give up a lueratlvo law practice to hunt for it. Tho successful office- THE KILLING OF WILKES BOOTH. Speaking of mysteries remind, me that the ghost of John Wilkes Booth is wont to rouse llself-aad walk up and down through the columns of tho newspapers at all seisons of the year. Mr. Julian Broaddus, who knows allthe tacts, hss given mo the particulars of the capture and killing of Booth. In hisfllght firom Washington, alter the atlon of President Lincoln, Booth met in King George county a young man named Xett, an ex- confederate soldlorof good family. Young Jett agreed to act as guide to Booth and Harold la their way through King George and Caroline coun ties. The trio ctcmedlhc Rappahannock river into in the afternoon, and Jett tried .to secure lodgings for them In Port Royal, a Tillage on tho Caroline side ot the river. Falling lit this, Jett conducted Booth and Harold to the house of Mr. Ucnrr Gar rett, Who lived three miles from rort Royal on the read Hading to Bowliag Green. Aftoraome hesita tion, Mr. Garrett consented to take them for the night, Jett having represented that they were con federate soldiers on their way to their homes In the. low to conquer and must use very questionable methods. Clifford Anderson is another good scholar and takes tnno for study and reflection —not only that, but ho Is a modest, Christian gentleman, and therefore, Is not likely to mako much mom progress as a politician, Tho •’boys - ' arc coming to tho front now, and wo have got to make rodm for them. They don’t want any dead languages. The common English will do for them, the commonest sort. For the massee of oar peoplo this is sufficient, but still we have got to have some leholara. less that Commissioner Hen J (Uiss Howard) t« emays of Monsieur Viele on chemical agriculture into English, and those essays have been a great advantage to our Barmen. I suppose that some others could have translated them, but not many, and perhaps no ono as well and accurate ly as she did. A physician who does not have a tolerable acquaintance with the Latinianguagoisahumbng, for nearly oven medicine hauscs has a Latin name and all the herbs and flowers (till wear the names that Linnenr gave them ISO yean ago. We have not the classical scholarship that was not uncommon in the days of the generation ’ that has pasted, neither do we have the stimulants to action that fired and enthused ambitious young men. Eveirthlng Is peaeeable now, and them am no stirriag lssuos, either state or national. Forwent of tome bigger thing con gress is trying to make a fuss over some rules, and it is a shameful confession of weakness to admit that committee* have more authority than tho house itself. If a commltteo makes a ran on the treasury, why don’t tho house disagree to their report'/ Georgia ii running tho prohibition question now and that may drift into politics and make politicians develop and take sides. Then there will be new alignments and some of us will have to sleep with strange bedfellows, bnt this is not A question that involves states manship and will not last long enough to pro-, dues great men. No donbt there ere just as a great minds now as there need to be, bat thoy mre in the dormant eteto—they are waiting for ■omeblgnoisetowakethemnp. Thewarmade noise enough and waked op a good many who had they survived would have boon a power In the land. But the best are the bravest and ao the south haa lost her best men. I was won dering the other day what Tom Cobb would have been had he lived-governor, United Btates senator, chief justice of the supreme court, anything thmt he wanted to be. I reckon that Nat Hammond is about tho great est student that ire hare among ourpoUtfclans.

Then we have Pot Walsh and Major Bacon and Tom Simmons and Lester, who would work well in harness. Colonel Blount is a kind of cosmopolitan who can do anything ho sets hie mind to and his heart on, and he is a right good set tar—he first points, and then he sets. Macon Is running a pretty good race with Atlanta In offlee-aoeking. Atlanta will take all that belongs to her end as mneb that belongs to any other sections as Poadble—two senators, a rep resentative, the chief Justice. thadlatrieUadge, two capitol commissioners, two raUroad com missioners, state bmse officers, and so forth. I havo been hurrahing for Major Btcon a good while became I liked him end became Pat Walsh told mo to iu his paper. But when Evan Howell told Welsh that the pram ought to be regresented in the gubernatorial chair and that he wm the fittest I noticed that the Chronicle sorter pat on the brakes and went alow on - the Bacon line—well I don't care. The pram ram tho machine anyhow, and I don't know what Walsh ain’t as good aathe beat. I believe I'll tarn editor myself and then maybe I can get tome- thing. I’ll go into partnership with Mrs. Fel ton and maybe we can have a let of good fun if we can’t get office. I Jest want to be Ina position to be consulted and help make up the next slate. Bill Axp. Jett himself would not stay, bat said he would go on to Bowling ureemten miles further,anil spend the night. Mr. Garrett showed Booth and Usrold to their mom and retired early to bed. -Becoming laspietous of Jett because he had left them. Booth and, Harold awoke young Mr. Garrett, -who bad reached home a few day* before from hU surrender. They informed -young Garrett of tholr purpose to leave the house end sleep in the woods. Hcrcmon- stinted with them, thinking they were really what they had been represented to be-ex-confbderate soldiers; but, finding they were dc*. let-mined to leave the house, ho sug gested that they had better stay In the tobacco honse, which was quite a large and new building near the bsun-yard, This they consented to do, youog Garrett showing them the way. Not know log who they were, and having his suspicions aroused by their refusal to stay lathe dwelling house, young Garrett locked the door of the tobac co house, fearing they might leave during tho night and take some of his father's horses, whloh were sadly needed for family purposes. Sometime after midnight, old Mr. Garrett was aroused from sleep br a call a. lili front door. Going out he found his house sur rounded by a troop of federal soldiers, and lilmsolf confronted by their captain, with a demand that be show them where Booth end Harold were. Mr. Garrett informed them that two men were lit the house, but ho did not know who they were, and showed the room In which he supposed them lobe. Faijlng to find them there tho . federal soldiers became enraged, placed rope around Mr. Garrett's neck, and were about to hang him, when young Garrett, having been awakened by the noise, came down from his room end interferred to prevent them from doing hurt to his father. Learning now, for the first Umc, who the men wctc. he informed tho captain that they were in the tobacco house end gave them tho key. _ Thereupon, the soldiers made a rush for tbebarn- yard, surrounded the tobacco house, unlocked the door and found Booth with a gun at bis shoulder readytosellbisltfcasdcarly as possible. There wes not one of the soldiers that would venture to face him, so they set fire to tho house, hoping to drive him out Harold's courage tailed hire, and he came out and surrendered. Booth' still remained with his gun at his shoulder, when Boston Corbett, one of the federal soldiers, having found a knot-hole In the aide of the bunting build ing, put bis gun through snd shot Booth, Infitctlng a wound similar to tho ono Booth had Inflicted on President Lincoln, the ball entering behind the ear. When Booth fell, the soldlors took him to tho porch of the dwelling-house. He 'died In a short time, while speaking or bis mother to Miss Oar- rett, who was bathing bis head. From the first Jett was suspected or betraying Booth, bnt he denied it most positively. Public opinion, howeTcr, settled down Into the better that ho did, end he was so generally shunned by his former associates thathe left Virginia) and went to Baltimore to live. Hr. Broaddns says ho Is inform ed on good authority that Jett haa confessed that he betrayed Booth and that his lire hss been embit tered by remorse. It is also stated that he has been sent to an asylum, his mind having given way. Northerners Flying Southward. January Invariably fills our hotels with e new people.

All such things are, by these travelers, set down of course as regular Incidents of southern llfo. If they sec a mule and a steer hitched together, drawing a poor little load of wood, guided by a cotton or bemp cord, they forthwith mentally declare tho entire concern a type of southern enterprise. But such remarks aroharmlca; end the weak, thln-volced man with “a throat trouble,’’ and his bouncing, bloosn lug companion of twice his weight, go along complacently, getting from the surround ings all the comfort they can. The top of this flight southward Is retched In this month, and Its tendency is towards higher figures etch year. The reports of railroad and steamship companies show that 125,000 northern people visit ed Georgia and Florida last year, end thus for this season the south-bound travel has been unusually heavy. The sire of the flight depends to Mma ex tent upon the severity of the weather In the north ern states—very many turning southward at the last moment on account of a heavy cold or other trouble -or symptom, becked up of courso by e chronic desire to avoid some of their own arctic weather. Tho northwest it beginning to furnish as many seek ers of balmier weather u tho northeast does; end when one or two families In a community spend a whiter In the south, therein apt to he a larger flight from that community during the following winter. The desire to avoid extreme cold weather Is wclbnlgh universal in the states of frost and ice. Tho long touthem lines ofratlroad reap a rich and much-desired harvest from the winter move ment. The tare paid by these health or pleasure seekers exceeds half a million dollars, and the competition Is very keen. There ere two Florida lines that do not pttsa throughout city, but It is almost impossible to keep new comers from visit ing Atlanta and the historic ground In its neigh.’ borhood. The annual visitor Is not go particular however. These pilgrimages result la the courso of years in a gain of permanent residents. Nearly every year, for example, some of these birds of passage remain In or around Marietta or Thomasrtne, and never return to their old homes exeept as visitors. But Florida la the chief beneficiary, and when Florida Is filled with settlers, the overflow wlU seek the lower Georgia counties. Even the most casual ob- es that Florida Is rapidly fitting up with pennanent residents; and south Georgia will )soon feel the tide. These unquestionable tacu conflict with the pet theory ot the fit.

Scientist Who Wm Prominent In the Vernons Po- laris (Expedition—Some of the Buftrlnga end .incidents of That Wonderful Crnlao-A Idfe Tossed by Frequent Tom pests. Washington, January 8.—[Special Corre- *pondeuee.]-Tho search in the Arctic icm for the lost whaler, ‘'Amethyst, ” by tho reTenno steamer "Bush," which sailed from San Franciaco a few days ago, will Axraish another of those painfully Interesting eplaodes of Arctic suffering, with which the civilized world haa been forfeited in the past few yean. In Washington lives an Arctic explorer, around whoso life tlmo and circumstance have woven a romance that haa few parallels In our practical times. 1 refer to Dr. Emil Bessels, an accom plished physicist and naturalist of Heidelberg, who accompanied Captain Charle* F. Hall on on his third and last expedition toward the polo on the HI feted ‘TpltrU.” Dr. Bessel* was told direc tor of tho scientific operations of that daring on- i to secure its urb unite a young man. xpcdltlou to Bpltsenburg Bllall was an enthusiast on arctic exploration! His plausible representations of the pomblltyof improving our knowledge of the geography of tbei regions beyond the eighteenth degree of north lat itude, and his firm faith in his power to roach the pole induced the appropriation for fitting out this expedition. This was tho aim and ambition of Captain Hall’s life, and ho expressed It in tho pas-j donate prayer; ‘Hay God grant me the opportu nity and tho proper moans to make my way to tho nortn extreme of his glorious earth!" i I The object of the "Polaris" expedition was not Bhjjrailraf a scientific charaetcr.lmt intelligent ] ■on ■■PTcnc nit un natural hIstory. emy of science was, therefore, appointed to procure the • necessary scientific outfit.

Ho had declared that ■p .man who devotes his ro to explorations, should over ■arry and Inflict tho anguish Inseparable from such a vocation upon wife and children." Deeply I fascinated with the proposed expedition, when he] I learned that the turn appropriated to fit out the scientific department was inadequate, he laid his private fortune on the altar of his unselfish love and furnished 917,000, with a mere chance of being reimbursed by the government.

Another fotllo effort I to conquer that fhxeen mystery had been made and another noble victim added to the list already too long.
