Ordinary. Col. Ingersoll is pledged to speak n- gaiust Christian religion no more That amounts lo pulling out the nails; but,oh! how can he pull out the nail-holes? Bill Arp puts it thus: “The crnvin.tr appetite foi money that is not earned is the root of bushels of evil—the spir it of speculation. A erust of bread which is earned is far sweeter than a loaf picked up on the streets.” It won’t he long now until the poor, oppressed husband will have blisters on his hands from holding on to a fishing polo, while his tyranhal wife will be staying at home having fun with the spade in the garden. Con vice us that Samson was weak, (Joliah a dwarf, Solomon an ignora mus. Gideon a coward, Annanias a truth-teller and David a woman and then you may tell us a business man can succeed without advertising. The emperor William 1ms lived ninety years and has lived a life of which his people are proud. It is a little singular that a man who has so much power and popularity should have done so little for human liber ty. In the West, we have seen it stated, that the cultivators of wheat are pressing the Japan wheat, and re gard it as far more profitable than that which they have formerly sown. No otiier kind has turned oat so well. It, would be well for our Geogia fann ers to make a trial of it. It is poor policy to waste food on cows which do not make a good re turn, and it will be a great gain for all who make butter for sale, to fur nish the pure article. Those who do furnish genuine butter are having a demand for all they make and the pale of oleomargarine is rapidly di minishing. Of a number of cows kept for milk ing purposes, it is advisable to weigh the milk of each for a few weeks so that that, falls below a profitable quantity' may be disposed of, and their places may be supplied with bet ter ones. This is worthy of attention as with n. mixture of good and bad^ the general result may be a loss to the owner. The President lias appointed the following interstate commerce com missioners: Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, for a’ term of six years; William li. Morrison, of Illinois, five years; Augustus Scnoenmaker, of New York, four years: Aldace F. Walker, of Vermont, three years; Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, two years. Mrs. J. II. Washington, nee Miss Alberta Lamar, daughter of Col. Hen ry .T. Lamar, died at the latter’s home in Vinevillo on Tuesday night last, at 9:20 o’clock. Less than a year ago her nuptials were celebrated here, the event being one of the most fashiona ble of the season, attracting many dis tinguished visitors from abroad. As Miss Lamar, she was well known through the State, and her premature death will be generally mourned. Mr. Washington is a gentleman of liipfli standing in Nashville and one of the leading members of that city’s bar. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, March 21, 1887. Editor Union-Rkcordku: Last Friday—the 18th of March— was the golden anniversary of Presi dent Cleveland’s birth. He carefully avoided any celebration, or rather, he celebrated the occasion by carefully giving his entire attention to public business. The President is not of an enthusiastic or sentimental nature. He is constitutionally opposed to ev erything which partakes of the char acter of self-glorification, and such he considers a man’s celebration of his own birthday to be. When asked by Mr. Soteldo, the Minister from Venezuela, why he was not celebrating the natal day,, he is reported to have said, “Vanity, vani ty, it is all vanity. If a mao really feels that his birth was a stroke of luck to him,” continued he, “let him rejoic#by all means; but I don’t think )ie has any right to disturb the town about it, and! don’t think it would be inodest to ask all the rest of the world to rejoice in an event which had so little interest for them.” Birthday cards in large number? came from all parts of the country, and friends in Washington sent flow ers accompanied by congratulations. There Was the usual tri-weekly hand shaking in the East-Room, which was attended by about five hundred people, a large proportion of whom were excursionists from Buffalo and the surrounding district in Northwest ern New York. They were a notice ably unpresuming crowd of excur sionists. Thoy filed quietly past the President, not one of them showing any desire to be familiar or to receive attention on account of being from the President’s former home. The visit of ex-Senator Thurman to this city furnished the political gos sips with food (ora whole day. They could not learn positively whether his conference with the President had reference to the appointment of the Inter-State Commerce Commissioners, the Pacific Rail-Road investigation, the English mission, or the Secretary ship of the Treasury. “The noblest Roman of them all” settled these ca nards himself. When asked if the President lmd tendered him any po sition, he replied, “No; I am neither to be Secretary of State nor Secreta ry of the Treasury nor Minister to England. I am not even going to be an Inter-State Commissioner." He added that his call on the President was entirely social and that he was not after office. There is little occasion for the wide spread alarm as to the financial situa tion during the interval before Con gress convenes. The condition of the Treasury is much stronger than it was nine months ago, the distribution of currency much more favorable and adequate,- and the circumstances in many respects more reassuring. The surplus is smaller, the gold fund is stronger, and the circulation and sup ply of convenient forms of small cur rency is more abundant. That which is deemed chiefly unfa vorable in the situation is the fact that only thirty millions of bonds re main subject to call, and that after three monthly calls this means of put ting money into circulation will be cut off. It is a fact, however, that recent bond calls have been of little service, and that the Treasury has ample authority and has declared its willingness to go into the market and buy bonds at current rates if the sit uation should become such as to call for this action. Those whose opinions on the sub ject are best worth knowing think there is no reason to fear that the coining summer and autumn will bring any serious financial disturb ance, or that the strength of the Treasury, and the skill of its managers are not fully equal to all emergencies that may arise. The Cabinet makers who have dis posed of the Treasury port folio for Mr. Cleveland more than a dozen times since Secretary Manning resign ed, are really a little embarrassed just now as to what to say next. It was positively asserted that Speaker Car lisle was offered the place last Satur day and declined. Since there has been so much delay in the matter some of them now take it for granted Mr. Manning’s successor will not be named until the 1st of April, the date when his resignation takes effect.

And after all it would bo much more like the true Chris.inn spirit of this ad vanced age, to let the French and Germans fight out their differences on this line, instead of on that line marked out by bloody minded men. One of our school teachers was en deavoring to explain to a small boy in her class the meaning of tiie word “collision.” She said: “Suppose two boys running on tiie street should run together real hard.

When I was editor of the Recorder, I sent the paper to every manufacturing establishment of any importance throughout New England! But the days of reconstruction were upon us, anil ku klux bands about, and tiie fear of the South was upon all New England. I received letters asking if it was safe to come South, etc. But our political status at that time forbid investments. That day is S nst, and a field is now presented to iilledgeville or any other place that will take the pains to make itself known that will bring in capital and skilled labor. Go in person, show up the loeation of Milledgeville, the river, the (alls, and the survey.

Say, “that a State which lost over 000 millions of dollars and a la bor system destroyed cannot recupe rate in twenty years, but would ask and invite capital from among a peo ple who are now very rich, to invest in tiie fairest land that the sun shines upon.” That is the way to taik, and look tiie man or people in the eye when you did talk. In life, there is nothing accomplish ed without an effort, if nothing is risked nothing is gained; if nothing is attempted nothing achieved. Do not look t.o' a few men to take the lead and do all tiie work; nor do not lean upon a few who may have a lit tle money to invest; but as a commu nity puli together as one man. R. M. O. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, in a re cent interview said: I notice that t here is in prison a large number of children under 15 years of age. It is a shame that Tennessee should not save some place of refuge for those oor little creatures and not place them among hardened criminals.

The next afternoon, willing to test tiie effect of her teaching, she gave Willie a large, juicy orange, say ing: “Now, Willie, take this orange and divide it generously with Harry.” When to her surprise the child (who was passionately fond of oranges) gave it back to her, saying, with a rougish twinkle in his bonny blue eye:' “Here, mamma! won’t you please give it to Harry and tell him to divide it generously with me.” , RCLQOIZE HIM, AND HK IBM TO BB INDUSTRIOUS ADVIS- .

Judge Emory Speer, in the United States district court, at Savannah, re fused to grant a writ of habeas cor pus, which had been sued out by one who, refusing to pay" lie fine imposed by tho superior court, accepted the alternative of imprisonment, for sell ing liquor without license after the county commissioners had refused to grant the license. The petition for the writ was based upon the plea, that the refusal of the tne commissioners to grant the li cense asked for, to sell liquor, was illegal, and that the statute upon whlob the refusal was based, was vio lative of the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution, &c. In conclusion of ills decision in the case, Judge Speer said; “The particular legislation before the court affecting as it does the ru ral communities of the state, was of supreme necessity and of supreme reasonableness. In incorporated towns and cities the law is presumed to be present in the persons .of its municipal officers and its police force. Tiie brutal excesses of ungovernable anil dangerous men when inflamed with drink may be readily repressed and the perpetrator punished.
