Oor Mineral Springs.—These institutions
are dml) growing in popularity and importance.
At the Purler Springs, we understand, that most
of ttie cabins are occnpied and more accommo
dation is demanded lhan their utmost capacity
can supply, and the reputation they have won
lor ibeir wonderful curative properties is being
lullv sustained.
The Slioam Spring, owned by Col W. P.
Price, is also well patronised. Quite a number
ot A'lftntians are at this Sprint, among whom
it are Dr. Taylor, with bis daughter and sou; Mr.
* I Harris, the jovial Sheriff o! Fnlton, and
Bo Warned Tonne todies
The Montgomery Advertiser says: __ ^
fashionable young ladies have l>een laid up for | daughter; Meirs Tyler Cooper, McDaniel and
repairs irom wearing high-heelr d shoes, and the
doctor thicks he has got a Job that will last him
a year to straighten out l heir little toes."
Collector Bailey** Default,
The investigation into the affairs of the late
Collector Bailey has been completed, amt it is
now Mid that the amount ot his defalcations
exceeds the sum ol $600,000 His sureties are
liable only to the amount ol $100,000. and the
government ihcrelore sustains a loss ol hall a
million of dollars by the misconduct ol this
** vigorous and earnest" officer. Throughout
the whole affair there has been a determined
effort to screen the defaulter. He has never been
arrested, and bis friends up to the last moment
have insisted that the deficit in his accounts was
less than $100,000.
The Smueuf Bill.
If the Baltimore Gazette be right, the bill
ostensibly passed by Butler, to remove lhe politi
cal disabilities under which so many ot our
best Boutin ru men now labor, and reported by
him to the House, does nothing of the sort, but,
instead ol ‘.his, extends rather than removes
those disabilities, .Says that paper, and its com
ments are worthy of calm consideration, for we
do not believe that its views ol the practical
effort of the bill are entertained by a majority ot
lhe Republicans in the House, “it grants no
general amnesty, it remits no pains or penalties,
and returns none ol the property ot Southern
ers which has been seized and confiscated by the
ageuts ot the Federal Government, or ot which
they have been deprived by lorced sale lor
taxes. On the contrary, the classes excepted
from all lhe provisions oi the act are so numer
ous that, under cover ol a pretended act ol grace,
Uie effect ol the bill would be not only to per
manently disfranchise nearly every man at the
ttouib whose right to vote is at present denied,
but would also secure to the present
holders lull and undisturbed possession
ot the real and personal property ot which
tioutherners have been deprived under va
rious pretexts. That we have not exaggerated
the insidiously malignant purpose of this bill
will be evident enough to any intelligent mrnd
when we say that it excepts all Southerners
from what is mockingly called ‘ an act of grace
and amnesty,’ who were graduates at West
Point and Annapolis, and look service under the
Confederacy; all who were members of the
iCongress of the United States, all members of
the Confederate t .ingress, all who hud been at
the head of an Executive Department, all who
were United States Judges, or who held a like
office in the Conledeiate States, all Goveruoisot
States ' In rebellion/ all who may be accused of
treating Federal prisoners crueliy, all postmas
ters alleged to be in default to tbe Government
when the war broke out, and all others who had
charge of moneys or stores at tbe South beloug
tng to tbe Federal Government which have uot
been accounted lor. Them are two other clausr s
which are far more sweeping. One of these ex
cepts from tbe benefits ot tbe bill ‘all persons who
have either voted for or signed auy ordinance of
secession.' The other exeepis all property
acquired hy any levy, Judgment, or escheat
made and executed upon any lands or tene
ments, goods, chattels, or any other valuable
thing whatever, and any sale or forfeiture by
confiscation of taxation, whereby any rights or
titles have become vested, either in the United
States or in third persons.’ The effect of the
first of these clauses, we have specially noted, 1
it it were carried out according to its literal
sense, would be to continue the political disabil
ities of nearly all Southerners whose right to
vote has heretofore been challenged. Of the
eleven Southern States, the ordinances of seces
sion were passed, in Convention only, in South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida and
Alabama. In Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia
they were submitted to the vote ot the
people. Are wo wrong then in saying
that ail those who voted in these six
States for the ordinances ot secession are to be
excepted from the benefits ot the amnesty bill,
in additiou to the classes already mentioned ?
It looks like it, aud it is so thoroughly in conso
nance with the known malignity of tbe man
who reported the bill that few people will
doubt that such was his intention. The confis
cation clause, in like manner, confirms and per
petuates the right of the negroes and carpet
baggers and Northern speculators to * the lands,
tenemeuts, goods, chattels, or other valuable
tiling whatever,’ which once belonged to South
erners, but which have been seized and appro
priated by Federal agents, or by parties in eol-
nis ; on with them. Aud thus this hill of ' grace
aud amnesty ’ is to be made the means of se
curing to Butler himself, and a multitude ot
others like auto him, a vast amount of property
h< quired in some lew instances under color ot
law, but lor the most part by force and fraud."
Ii the tilll is to have this effect, whether de
signed or not, it will surely never pass Congress
It would be upon the States whose people voted
lor secession, the commission ot an act far ex
ceeding in atrocity and oppression any outrage
ever perpetrated upon an overpowered people -
a people uot moie guilty ot *• rebellion" than
were the people ol Georgia who did not directly
vote upon the secession question, but who,
nevertheless, endorsed the so-called “ heresy,”
and with arms in their bands aud at the can
non’s mouth, till ibev were do longer able to do
so, fought lor its raaintain&nce aud the estab
lishment ot another government. We even
doubt whether Butler himself gives the interpre
tation to the bill which the Gazette does, or that
he designs to perpetrate the atrocity ascribed to
him by liiat paper. But we shall see. It he
does, we feel confident that he will tail to bring
up a majority of Congress to sustain him in au
attempt so revolting to every principle ot hu
manity aud justice.

Wonderful Mortuary Report. We ob
tain the following interesting taels horn our

For the six months ending June 30th, he has
buried but eleven whiles, aud three ol these
were brought Irom the country. No one ot
then, was native* n lhe sgea ol 21 and 58 ycats
During tbe same lime he lias buiied 35 negroes.
When it is remembered that iu Rome the
white population out number the neg'oes in
the proportion ot about. 4 to 1, the disparity iu
the number ot deaths becomes more astonish
ing. According to their number, there have
been about 13 deaths ot negroes to one amoug
the while population, duriug ihe time named.
Statistics of all the Southern cities show
similar results since the war. It is almost cer
tain that freedom will prove to fie ihe derlrtic

An Example of Industry.—Last week,
Miss Maiy Teel.au expert and industrious
weaver, who attends five rooms at Eagle & Phe-
Dix No. 2, wove from three to seven bolts ot
cloth per day, by which she earned upwards ot
fourteen dollars. Under the old haud-toum
process, it a woman could weave us many
yards,she was held up os a pattern of industry;
hut those old togy time killers arc disappearing
now, and it is uo louger necessary tor the temale
head ot the lamily to devote tweoty to thirty
days to the production of a holt oi cloth, since
by the ingenious machinery dow employed,
hundreds of bolts can be turned out iu a day,
which can be bought cheaper than it cau he
produced under the old schedule. We hold the
example ot Miss Mary Teel up as eminently
worthy ol imitation. While huudreds are
quietly folding iheir hands iu poverty, and com
plaining of the hardness oi their lot and the
meanness ol their neighbors, like a hero, she
goes iortli to nobly conquer obstacles and to im
prove her condition. Abundant success, say
we, to Miss Mary, and all others of like spirit
who are vigorously using the minds and ener
gies God has given them to improve their for
tunes and characters. - Columbus Enquirer.
Fatal Accident.—We are credibly informed
that a difficulty occurred last Thursday, iu Chat
tooga couuty, between Col. Jeff Johnson aud
Mr. It. W. Joues, which resulted in the latter
being killed hy the former. We are told that
Jones first shot Johnson with a small pistol
when the latter shot him with a gun, killing him
instantly. We have not been able to get any
further pirliculars.—Rome Courier.

was brought to this market and sold for $1.25

Result of a Secret marrlase.
i’hity \ ears ago a great sensation was created
in this city hy the discovery that Augustine
Kennedy, the City Collector, was a defaulter to
tbe amount ol b* tween $20,000 and $30,000.
The exact amount was never ascertained, owing
to the system ot book-keeping iu vogue at that
time. Keunerly belonged to a highly lespeeta
ble family. Several yeais afterward be pub
lished a statement attempting to exonerate him
self, but it was uot entirely satisfactory. He
also published a novel called the “Heiress of
Fotherintiay," which did not make biui a very-
high leputation as a romancist.
During many years ol his life he lived on
terms oi intimacy with a colored woman. The
wommi had seveial children, who were bright
mulattoes. The old lady is known as Mrs.
Holland, and has resided tor many years at
Cheltenham, owning five or six acres ot land
there, besides property in the city—the whole
valued at aoout $50,000 Her younger daughter,
Augustine, was her tavoriie. and was educated
in the convent at Baltimore in all the accom
plishments ol a modem education.
The mother, having seen the colored people
ot the United Males rise from a condition ot
servitude to the place they now occupy, fondly
looked lorward to the time when Augustine
would tie led to the altar by a respectable white
man. But her hope was doomed to be blighted.
She had in her employ a mulatto man named
James Madison, who drove a team belonging to
her, and hauled fire clay tor the brick works at
Cbelterham, Madison, was considered an honest
and faithlul man. Being an intuaie ot the
house, he Lad trequent opportunities ol cultiva
ting the aequam auce of Augustine; but his
wooing was in secret, as he well kDew tae old
lady would scorn an alliance with him.
He succeeded, however, in winning the allec- {
tions ot the girl, who is about twenty years ot
age, and well educated. They were married
without the knowledge of the old lady.
Immediately after the wedding the couple
started on the Pacific road ou a short bridal
tour to Rocheport, Boon county, the former
place of residence of the bridegroom. When
Mrs. Holland heard ot the marriage, her indig
nation knew no bounds. She pursued tbe fugi
tives to Rocheport, and there meeting Madison
face to lace, plunged a dagger into his heart,
killing him on the spot. Such is the acconnt
that reaches us from authentic sources. Mrs.
Holland was arrested on tbe charge ot murder,
and her trial is set for August 3d.

Washington, July 6—Replying to questions
regarding the currency Senator Williams said :
That the Comptroller Geneial of the currency
was to provide immediately for the distribution
of the increased circulation ot fitty-four mil
lions, giving the Western Stales what they were
entitled to under the existing law, and that as
soon as the census returns for 1870 were in a
re-distributioD was to be made.
Mr. Trumbull thought it most extraordinary
to provide for the establishment ol banks for
taking the additional fifty-four millions within
three months, and then to provide ior a re dis
tribution a month later.
Mr. Sherman replied that uuder the existing
law it would require 90 days to organize a bank
and, therefore, the census returns could be ascer
tained belore any bank could be established.
Mr. Trumbull then said therewould be no dis
tribution under the existing law. Report adop

Paris, July 6—In Corps Legislitif, Duke
De Grammont, Minister ou Foreign Aflairs, said
it was true that Prim had offered tbe throue of
Spain to the Prince of Uohenzoilern, which he
had accepted, but the people ot Spain had not
pronounced on the transaction, and France had
yet to know the details ot an affair which had
been conducted in secrecy. The Freoch Gov
ernment would persist in its policy ol neutrali
ty, but under no pretext would it permit German
power to place one ol its Princes on the throne
of Charles V. He hoped, however, that the
prudence in Germany and tbe wisdom in Spain
would avert extremities.
The Paris journals unanimously oppose the
project of General Prim.

Democratic Leader* Wanted.
Tbe Lexington, (Ky.) Gazette, whose Democ
racy is not questioned in the Union, declares
that “ the Democracy want uo violent leaders
any more, nor extreme men o( any- kind, but
cool, calculating statesmen with craft as well as
courage. Such a man as Seward is worth more
as a leader and builder-up of a party thau a
thousand hot headed orators, even if every one
possessed the eloquence ol Cicero. The Democ
racy have never yet taken a step in the right
direction toward breaking down the Radical
pai ty, aud for the very reason that they have
been too extreme and have not gone dose
enough to their opponents to attract any con
siderable number of the enemy over to them.
The Radicals have more than recruited their
losses by eutrauchisiug the negroes, but what
have the Democracy done to attract recruits
from Radicalism ? Absolutely nothing, or next
to nothing. The policy indicated in the address
ot the Congressional banhedriin is the first step
that looks plausible, but we doubt if the rank
and file of the party will follow the advice."
Living; Beyond tlielr mean*.
Bulwer says that poverty is only an idea, nine
cases out of ten. Some men with ten thousand
dollars a year suffer more for the want of means
than others with three hundred. The reason is,
the richer man has artificial wants. His in
come is ten thousand and he suffers enough
lor being dunued for unpaid debts to kill a sen
sitive man. A mau who earns a dollar a day
and does uot run in debt, is the happier ol the
two. Very few people who have never been
rich will believe this ; but it is true. There are
thousands and thousands with princely incomes
who never know a moment’s peace, because
they live above their means. There is really
more happiness iu the world among the work
ing people than among those who are called
rich.
This living beyond one’s meaus, is the cause
of more demoralization aud woe in the human
family than any other of those indiscretions in
which it seems man is incliued to indulge. Es
pecially is it so in the cities of the world where
vicious temptations in so many varied forms
abound. Bulwer, more than any other of the
popular modern writers, seems to understand
what poverty really is. He is poor who lives
beyond his means, while he who lives within
them is not. And this will apply to the million
aire as well as to him who has to labor for bis
daily bread.
The Greatest Dinner.
It is the opinion ot that “old line” Whig
paper, the Rome Courier, but since the close of
the war sailing uuder Democratic colors, that
“ the greatest danger ” the Democratic party
has “ to meet lies in the blandishing attempt by
such men as Bard, Josh Hill and Bryant, to or
ganize a Conservative party, aud by so doing to
win oft from the Democratic party the large, the
influential, and the controlling body ol old line
Whigs, whose old party prejudices they wish to
influence, and whose old party partialities they
wish to conciliate."
The Courier, judging from the foregoing, doe3
not “ 9ee through a glass dimly,” but has a clear
perception of the political situation in Georgia.
Il is just where that paper suys it i9, that the
“greatest dauger ” to the Democratic party, and,
as a consequence, to Georgia, lies. There are
in Rome more than a lew who would do well
to heed the admonition of the Courier as con
veyed in the quotation we make from it.
Northern Invention.
The Nashville Banner says that Colonel J. G.
Minor of that city has just received from Wash
ington letters patent for a cultivator plow that
promises to cheapen the coat of producing a
crop ot corn or cotton. Instead of making
three Hips between the rows, Colonel Minor’s
plow promises to make only one. An examina
tion oi the model and drawings will go far to
convince farmers that the graceful sharp lines
presented for resistance will certainly lessen the
draft, while it increases the breadth of soil
moved. Arrangements have been made to
manufacture this implement in Nashville.
A merited Honor Conferred.

gree ot Master ot Arts was conferred upon our
esteemed lellow-citizen, Db. Charles Pinck

Tbe degree conterred is a well-merited honor.
In midi tine, and in art and literature, the Doc

possession ot high intellectual faculties, devotion
to his prolession, and determined will to master
its mysteries, his Alma Mater may well be
proud of his late visit to it, aud of recognizing

During Buchanan’s administration there used
to be a handsome, popular young Lieutenant
stationed in Washington who was as ubiquitous
as he was assiduous in his attentions to the
married ladies whose husbands rule us in the
cabinet, army and navy. He was tall, with
dark, sentimental eyes, plausible, soft manners,
clothes that were “frightfully swell, you know,”
nice white hands aud lovely whiskers. His
walk was mincingly military, and his habitual
expression highly smiling. He had, like other
good-looking young military barnacles, a sweet
tooth for a pretty woman and what is known in
the army as “fancy duty.” It was impossible to
pry him out of his snug berth at W asliiugton.
The Secretary who would have attempted to or
der him away would have been so besieged by
the wives aud daughters of Secretaries, Sena
tors, Judges, Governors, aud diplomats that
he would have rescinded the “hateful”
order instanter. Well, this Lieutenant
“with his whiskers” has been smart enough
during these ten or twelve years to hold on to
his influence as “the pet ot the petticoats,” and
has by the fortunes ot war become Brevet Briga
dier General U. S. A., in charge ot the public
buildings, grounds aud works, one of the duties
ot which position, it would appear, is to answer,
Mrs. Grant’s notes, for we find him writing to a
piano manufacturer, who sent one of his ma
chines, probably as an advertising dodge, thus:
“ Gentlemen—Mrs. Grant requests me (cool that
in Mrs. G) to write you (why not say to you?)
and express her great approval (“ great ’’ is good,
when you consider how much Mrs. G, probably
knows about an instrument when she purchases
one irom a fourth-rate maker) ot the piano
which she purchased (wasn’t it presented ?) of
you for the use of the Executive Mansion. She
is perfectly delighted with it (gush No. 1) and
finds it all she desire.” (Gu9h No. 2.) Now, N.
Michler, Brevet Brigadier General U. S. army,
is a good lellow, and it does look like a “ mighty
small business ” ior a soldier to be playing sec
retary or capering thus as a mere lacquede place.
It reflects on the army. Let Mrs. G. write her
own notes, and Michler be put at something
usetul.—Courier-Journal.

Important to Liquor Dealer*.
The following notice to the Tax Collector of
this county, given by Comptroller General
Bell, is ot interest to the Tax Collectors and
dealers in liquor all over the State :
Atlanta, July 5,1870.
John M. Harwell, T C, Fnlton County, Atlan
ta, Ga:
Sir—in answer to your inquiry concerning
the collection ot the liquor tax, I have to direct
you to proceed to collect the liquor tax as for
last year. By relerence to the tax act of 1869,
you will see that retnrns are required for “ each
year,*’ which language makes the act perpetual
until it ia superceded or repealed. If there
should be any doubt as to the act being perpetu
al, that doubt ii removed by the joint resolution
of the General Assembly, May 4th, 1870, which
continues the whole act in force nnlil otherwise
ordered hy the same authority. It is not your
proviuce, nor is it mine, to decide as to the con
stitutionality ot tbe act. That is tor tbe courts.
Tax officers should enforce tbe law as they find
it until stopped by some legal proceeding. Yon
are instructed, therefore, to proceed forthwith to
the collection of all such taxes as still may be
due and where you are not legally enjoined.

Salt for Cabbage.—A New Jersey farmre
considers salt necessary to the development ol
cabbage, especially in places far from the coast.
He finds them more crisp, of better fl ivor, and
to keep better when salt is used than without.
He used it as follows :
A few days after setting out the plants, and
when they are damp, either after a rain or when
the dew is on, I take a small dish of flue salt
and walking among the rows, sprinkling a little
pinch of salt on the centre ot each plant when
the leaves begin to grow. I repeal the salting,
and when the centre of the leaves begin to foim
the head, I apply salt again, scattering it over
the leaves ; alter this I look them occasionally,
and it I find plants that do not head well aud
appear diseased, I sprinkle the sail over freely ;
this will save all such plants. A quart of salt
is sufficient for five hundred plants tu a aeasoD,
although more can be used with aalety.

Mortality in one Family,—M r. D. Wolf,
who has resided in this city for some years, and
is well known and much respected here, has
been the victim of tbe epidemic, in his family
relations, to an extent that is appai.img He was
living in a flue house in the upper part of the
First District, aud had but recently brought his
family out from Germany, one sister, however,
having been with him for some years. All ex
cept himsel t were attacked with the yellow fe
ver, and his father, mother, two of his sisters
and his nephew all died. The sad list is as fol

Josephine Wolf died August 2, aged sixty seven
years.

aged sixty-eight years.

wards, and leased out by said E1 wards, tbe
heirs ot the aforesaid Robert Edwards, on
proving their identity as such, will come into

sum ot eighty-two millions. Ii is said that
Gen. Edwards, of LaGrange, ia this State,
claims to be a descendant of Robert, and baa
employed Beuj. H. Hill, Esq , and Judge Big-
ham, to look into the matter! As ail Ute Ed
wards may be presumed to have descende d trom
the aforesaid Robert, it is reasonable to suppose
pose a stir and a rnsb wilt be made. We learn
from the Tines that two men iu Gadsden bear
ing tbe lucky name are much exercised. It is
said that the occupants of the property are so
well satisfied that tbe title ot the heirs of
Edwards is valid, they will not contest it except
so far as to compel them to prove themselves
true descendants ot the aforesaid Robert Ed

Ambitious for a Carpet Bag.—Emma
Dennis, colored, doubtless having heard of the
immense dignity attendant upon the possession
of a carpet bag, and uot being prepared with the
ready cash for the purchase of the article, and
furthermore being denied other means of ob
taining the prize on account of the lack of wo
mau’s rights in Georgia, was determined, how
ever, to succeed, and her eyes had no sooner
rested upon a carpet bag iu a secluded spot thau
she took possession of it. Alas! for Emma,
there was another who was not willing to grat
ify her ambition, and she was arrested under a
warrant, which eveu went so lar as to call the
little affair larceny. Emma was convicted by
Justice Johnson, and sentenced to pay a fine ot
ten dollars or work 30 days in the chain gang
Marriage in Low Life.—James Mangum
and Eliza Austin, both colored, were up before
Justiee B. D. Smith yesterday, charged with
living together as man and wife, without having
been lawfully married. The evidence showed
that such had been the case for the last thirteen
months (minus several mouths duriug which she
had been in the chain gang) James concluded
to get married, as that was the quickest mode
of getting out ol the difficulty, aud was exactly
what the woman wanted. The parties were
released until this morning, when they are to be
carried through the marriage ceremony' by Hia
Honor.
Fight Between two “ Cullud Ladies.”—
Charlotte McCiendau aud Betty Lewis, two fe
male beneficiaries uuder the 15th Amendment,
indulged their pugilistic propensities to au un
lawful extent yesterday. In the heat ol the bat
tle Charlotte got possession oi a stick aud “wore
out her antagonist.” Betty considered this foul
play and concluded to have the victorious party
arrested, which was accordingly doue uuder a
warrant issued from Justice Smith’s Court.—
Upon the trial it appeared that the light was
“ no thing of imagination,” and that both par
ties were to blame. Accordingly a little fine ot
five dollars was imposed on each in the way ot
a division of the costs between them.
Swindlers.—We have heard several instan
ces in which men have gone about towu selling
milk tickets aud never again appeared to deliv
er the article. We hope that some of these lel-
ows will be caught and taught that such
“ dodges” won’t be tolerated in Atlanta.
Theatrical Affairs.—If the ordinance re
lating to weariug the apparel ol the opposite
sex is strictly enforced, we fear that it will inter
fere with the best companies that ever visit this
section. Mr. Bishop last year, as a woman, was
inimitable, and Mrs. Oates was most successful
iu the character of the sterner sex.
Substantial Work by the Street Com
mittee.—A large force was engaged yesterday
afternoon in grading that portion oi Alabama
street which runs Irom Loyd to Washington
streets. A sidewalk was also being constructed,
which will add greatly to the comfort ol per

New Hall.—The Printers’ Union have
agreed to accept the offer of M. E. Kenny, Esq.,
who has tendered them the use of Kenny's Hall

rent free for six months. The place is being
neatly fixed up, and will be, when completed,
well suited lor the purposes for which it is de

As the Board of Health is not aware that it

Sol Bloodworth’sCorn.—Mr. Blood worth’s
brag acreot corn this year ia a wonderful thing
to behold; and we fear our readers will believe
that this article is an exaggeration, but will risk
it anyhow. The corn has been planted just two
months, and will average nine feet high, and
has not commenced tasselmg. The rows are
three feet apart, and the corn in the drill about
ten inches. Unless a hurricane blows it down,
we believe it will make one hundred and fifty
bushels of shelled corn.—Griffin Star.
Cure for Poison Oak.—A correspondent
gives this as a cure lor poison oak: Simply
bathe the parts poisoned with hot water, as hot
as can be borne, keep increasingi t till it can no
longer be used without burning. Now press a
soft towel against the parts so as to absorb the
water, and avoid rubbing; then apply a rather
9trong solutiou of strong navy or plug tobacco
on the poisoned places, and let it dry. The so-
luiion is best when the water is hot. I have
tried this, and have been cured, or v-ry nearly
so, in two to four days at the most.

With reference to the harvest this year in
Austria and Hungary, the Austnaa Minister oi
Commerce states in his report that the prospects
in the east ot Enrope are everywhere highly
satisfactory, more especially in Hungary, Gali
cia and Bohemia, and that should no untoward
event happen the yield will be such as to lead
to a very large export trade. On the other hand
the accounts from Western Europe are far from
satisfactory, particularly those Irom France.
A Texas Paper Thanks God—Thank God
that we have never seen nor heard ot any South

preaching “ woman's rights,” “ free love ” and
“ spiritualism,” as we have otteu seeu those
lantern-jawed, thin-shaaked and forked-ton-
gued “ strong minded ” women do, who hail
Irom that region whereof Boston is the social
center. We feel grateful that we have never
heard a Southern woman contend that the holy
ordinance of marriage should be solely a tima
bargain, like contracts of hire and partnerships
and dissoluble by consent of parties. We all
feel proud ot this, and at the same time, if these
green-eyed spinsters of the East want to believe
there is no God, and no fixed code of morals
and to enjoy their Iree-loveism, and to drink
| hard cider on election days, they are welcoma
lo do si.—Bryan Appeal. ; ■'
