The President has decided not to
call an extra session oi Congress.
The banner IJaptist State is Geor¬
gia, with its 235,381 members. There
were 12,933 baptisms last year. The
number of churches is 2,755, and of
tpastors 1,630.
The Covington Star predicts that
the day is not far in the future when
Georgia will present a perfect net
work of narrow gauge railroads. It
thinks there will hardly be two towns
in the State not connected bv some
kind of railway.

There is a singular coincidence re¬
corded in Washington that just one
hundred years ago our first Secretary
of War was appointed, and that.
Secretary, like the present one, bore
the name of “Lincoln.” General
llenjarnin Lincoln’s portrait hangs
upon the walls of the Department,
and Robert Lincoln’s is to be placed
Ibeside it.
Mahone is now the R.-publicai
cock of-the-walk. lie visits Garfield
every day. The special to the Balti¬
more Srm of the 15th instant says:
“General Mahone makes almost dai¬
ly visits to the White House, and ap¬
plicants for Virginia offices seem to
think that all that, is necersarv for
success is to obtain his support. His
•quarters at the Arlington are crowd¬
ed with people anxious for his favor.
It is all very lovely just now, hut
there is always a hereafter.”

A city missionary visited an itii
happy young man in jail, waiting
his trial for a State prison crime.
“Sir,” said the prisoner, tours run
ning down his cheeks, “I had a good
homo education: it was my street
education that mined me. I used to
slip out of the house and go off with
the boys on the streets. In the
streets I learned to lounge: in tin
streets I learned to swear; in tin
streets I learned to smoke; in tin
.streets I learned to gamble; in the
«treets I learned to pilfer. O, sir, it
is in the streets the devil lurks to
work the ruin of the young.”—

Too Much Ohio korConki-ixo.—
Senator Conkling thinks there is a
good deal of Ohio in it. He tjnts
spoke of tne inauguration to a friend:
“The President was escorted to the
capital by an Ohio company. The
officer in command of-the whole col¬
umn was an Ohio General. The of¬
ficer chiefly prominent in the inau¬
guration preparations was an Ohio
Adjutant General. He was seated
by an Ohio President, and was es
sorted to ami into the Senate by an
•Ohio Senator. He was sworn in by
Chief Justice from Ohio, and re
fturned to the White House, as he
earue out of it, in charge of Ohio of¬
ficers. Two of his Cabinet are vir¬
tually from Ohio, and so known to
all Ohio tu*n. The next day Chief
Justice Cartter, of the Supreme
tpourt district, also a noted citizen of
Ohio, was called upon to swear in
-this Cabinet of the new Ohio man.—

Garfield's Cousin.
President Garfield has a cousin in
very humble circumstances in North
Carolina. His name is William J.
Wiley, aud hjs mother and General
Garfield’s •mother were sisters; but
fie was only six or seven years old
when he last saw General Garfield.
|Ie is a Simon-pure Democrat, and
yoted for Hancock in the last Presi¬
dential election. He is a very quiet,
yeapectabje, unobtrusive, and indus¬
trious ,citizen. He served through
the war on the Confederate side as
firat lieutenant of Company F. Fifth
North Carolina Cavalry, and was
wounded iu the face in the Valley of
Virginia. A card of invitation to
the inauguration hall, of which he is
jin receipt, supposed to have been
went him by his cousin, the President,
seems to iudigate that there is no de¬
sire on the part of the latter to
ignore National the relationship.— Republican. HWt ing~

The Usury Law.
The Atlanta Constitution very
properly insists that this is the right
season to discuss the unjust usury
law’ of the state, as it is at this sea¬
son that its hardship is felt by the
class for whose protection it was
made. If the forbidding of a high
rate of interest than eight per cent
carried with it the power of getting
money at that rate, the law might
with some reason have some advo¬
cate, ]>ut it does not, and thos
jvho are not willing to pay a higi
ate, or who cannot give sutticien
insurance that they will do so, ar
1 charred from borrowing. Man
armers are in this condition, an
.vhile it would be greatly to the!
ulvantage to borrow money at on
and a half or two percent per month,
they are forced to buy supplies from
the merchants on time. It is an un
ust law which allows the in rcha
o place as high a per cent of prolii
as lie pleases upon his merchandise,
while the hanker is limited. It is
time that our li.v makers should
.earn that supply and demand ough
to and do regulate the price of com
nudities .—M • ri toother VinAivito,

Hancock’s Speech at the Man¬
hattan Clujs.—T he following were
the remarks made by Gen. Hancock
at the dinner given to him by the
Manhattan Club, of New York:
“Mr. President and gentlemen
who have assemhehl here to nigh;
to do me honor, I am no doubt call¬
ed upon inconsequence of the posi¬
tion I held in the recent candidacy
for the Presidency. I regard niv
connection with that subject as
practically closed. I,however, main¬
tain the principles which I had when
I accepted the nomination of the
Cincinnati Convention, and believing
as I do, that the enforcement of those
principles would promote the wel¬
fare of our whole country, I hope to
see them prevail at some future
time. Their success must rest with
the Jeffersonian Democratic party,
which is so fully and so ably repre¬
sented here to night. To you I com¬
mend the preservation of that true
republicanism on which our fathers
founded the institutions which have
made us so great among nations of
the earth. I shall only say in rela¬
tion to the political campaign
1880, that I have no fault to find
with the behavior of my friends, and
nothing to retract or modify con¬
cerning mere acts or words. I thank
you, gentlemen, most heartily
the honor and pleasure you have
conferred upon me hy this enter¬
tainment.”

Two Ways of Looking at Thimrs.
Two boys went to hunt grapes.
One was happy necause they found
grapes. The other was unhappy be¬
cause the grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convalescent were
asked how they were. One said:
“I am better to-day.” The other
said: “I was worse yesterday.
When it rains one man says:
This will make mud.” Another:
This will lay the dust.”
Two childred looking through col¬
ored glasses; one said: “The world
is blue.” And the other said; “It
is bright.”
Two hoys eating their dinner;
One said: “I would rather havt
something other than this.” Tin
other said: “This is better than
nothing.”
A servant thinks a tryin's house is
principally kitchen. A guest, that
it is principally parlor.
“I am sorry that I live,” says one
nan. I am sorry that I must die,’
.ays another.
I am glad” says one, “that it is no
worse.” “I am sorry,” says another,
“that it is no better.”
One man counts everything tha'
lie has a gain, Another count
everything else that he receives a
loss.
One man spoils a good repast b\
hilikiiig of the better repast of an
other. Another one enjoys a poor
repast contrasting it with none at
all.
One man is thankful for his bless¬
ings. Another is morose for his mis¬
fortunes.
Ouc man thinks he is entitled to a
* -tier world: and is dissatisfied be
•ansa he hasn’t got it. Anothe:
thinks he is not justly entitled to
my, and is satisfied with this.
One man makes up his account
from his wants. Another from his
assets.—
