T3ESB! POST. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, mi: R. L. HICKS, EDITOR Ml) PROPRIETOR. Colonel Blount for Governor. Telegraph *<V Mewnger. Tlio Washington correspondent of tho Atlanta Vomlitvlign put the question to Mr. Blount tho other tiny, “Whether lie would allow the use of his name for the next, govern orship?*’ He laughed and said: It's too far ofl* yet to think about, ntneh loss to talk about. To be Governor of ihcBtato in an aspirution worMty the ambition of any Georgian, ami t »do not hesitate te say that I should be glad to be Governor. As to whether I will enter the race—-or whether I could aticeced if I did, those lire questions that areas yet out of dale. I have many friends who appear anxious to press my name, but. 1 have two years of hard work that I am under contract with tho people of tho sixth district to perform, before l can givo any thoughts to preferment. This was a very prudent response on the part of our excellent imme- <l : ato representative in Congress, lie is content with the faithful discharge of present dutiesf* and declines to chunk up tho fires mulct the political chaldron in Georgia, which has hardly yet ceased simmering. Should Mr. Blount, however, at the proper time, bo brought forward by the Democracy, ns its standard-bearer in the next elect ion for chief magistrate, ho would mako ns strong a ran a» any man in tho State. But let those matters “be.” Decisive Battles Ol Tlio World.

Pill LA DELPHI A, Jan. 20.— About 5 weeks ago Mrs, Wilson, who resides with her husband, Solomon; Wilson, at No. 933£ South street, was dan gerously burned, Slie was standing with her back to the fire, talking to another woman, when the latter ex claimed, “You arc on fire!" and ran out of tho room, leaving tho door open. The draft fanned the flame, and although Mrs Wilson ran to the hydrant in the back yurd slic # could get no water, because the pipes were frozen. She sped through tho back street enveloped in flume, when for tunately, a courageous neighbor saw her, threw open her door,’and wrap ped her in some loose carpet. A scene of suffering ensued, all the fleshy parts of Mrs. Wilson’s back and limbs bciiigalmost roasted. Dr. McLean, whose services were called • fit- ■ in, exerted himself to the utmost., applying the most approved rcinedies- but so great was tho agony she endu red that her reason tottered and her life wus dospaired of. Mrs. Wilson is tho mother of five little children, all of whom were re moved to the r’csidcnco of her brother, Mr. .Tastier, while her husband and friends gathered around her bed. For long weeks she lingered, without intermission of agony or apparent improvement. Last Wednesday Dr. McLean informed Mr. Wilson that it would bo absolutely necessary to transplant live flesh to the parts where tissues had boon destroyed,and Prof. Levis was called in who decided in favor of tho operation. Although her mind was wandering Mrs. Wilson appeared to have some idea that a puiiitln experiment whs impending, and screamed to tlio doctor to take away tho lancet, although lie had not displayed, nor indeed at that time spoken in her heaving of any instrument,but her nervous exhaus tion was so great t hut it was consider ed unsafe to cut the flesh requir ed from her own person. Dr. Levis asked Mr. Wilson if lie was willing to submit to tlio painful process of the flesh from his arm. “Gertuiiily,” suid Mr. Wilson, “if it tako8'niy’tV , hoT6 i ?T|[ht-ifrhi; outfit off from the shoulder, to suvo my wife,” Mr. Wilson bared mid extended his right arm, while Dr. Levis, with his resistant, and Dr. McLean, cut ten pieces of skin a quarter of un inch square, from its upper surface, and tsansplantod them into the buck of Mrs. Wilson, During tho whole operation Mr. Wilson never moved a muscle nor showed a sign of the pain that ho sulferod, while it required the strength of six women to hold Mrs. Wilson as tho delicate transfer was mudo. After tho operation was finished tho patient seemed more oomfortallo/tho brain troubio.grad ually subsfded, and she. is now in » fair way to recover. The self-sucri- II ing fortitude of Mr. Wilson is the more romarkublo because of the fact that for t wo yours past his health has been failing. Ella Higgins, tho young daughter of a poor miner, at Duiini ire, Pa., desired to dross as well as her com panions at a forthcoming party, and therefore purchased sonic fineries at a store, saying they were for li wife of a neighbor, who would pay for them. Tim merchant, on ascertain ing how ho hud been tricked, made arrangements to have the girl arrest ed, When tho officer went to get her, she was found hanging to a beam in tljo garret of ber homo. Advice to Defeated Candidates. The following we enppy from the Athens (Tcnn.) Post, simply to show how campaigns are conducted t here; Dilfinger met a defeated can didate the day after the election,who had previously been minions to shake hands with him. Dilfinger, desir ous of showing him that ho would not slight him because of bis defeat, eagerly rushed forward to grasp him by the hand with the remark: ‘Well, let’s shake, old fel low.’ ‘Oh, go to the d—1, will you?’ repeated the candidate. ‘Why, wlmt’s the mutter, remark ed Dilfinger, in astonishment. ‘Matter enough,’ replied the van quished gentleman. ‘Llavn’t I been shaking hands with every man and nigger in the last six months, und contracted the itch, fever and ague, mumps, and every disease contigious to tlio climate, until niy wife makes me sleep in the woodshed, and my children allude to me ns a deluded fool!’ Do you think I am going to make an ass of inyseit after being so cussed ly defeated us I was lust Tijcs- Dilfinger remarked with a wise look: ‘Keep n. stiff upper lip, old boy, and sliuke hands year in and year out like Buck docs. Why, it* is a well-known fact in this community for the last six years, that Buck lias been shaking iunds with fifteen year old hoys, and every one ortheni that was of age at (Jiis election voted for him. You don’t know how to electioneer; commence at once on three year old infants, and by the timo you acquire some sense I hey may be old enough to vote for von. Slavs av Wivimn.— If llto mjpio don't fail, says the Chattanooga 2)%tes, tno coming winter will be the coldest experienced in this latitude sinc'o tho country was discovered by a man named Columbus. Tho squir rels are laving up their winter c»>ul, tho beavers are putting Loafers in the basement of thou* lodges, the bogs have killed all the drones and lined their hives with sheet iron, the musk nits uro flying South, wild ducks uro committing suicide, tho goose bono is black sixteen deep, editors am soliciting wood in cxohuugo for subscriptions, poor fatnilios are buy ing an extra dog, und wo arc having a now collar put on our overcoat. Tho South bus at last gone to work in tho right direction. She is paying very Rule attention to polities—espe- ciully national politics—and is put ting in heavy licks to build up her waate pkiott. There is wisdom in this—’tis the only way to secure com fort-, happiness mid independence. —iMtort Vitm .'i. A Ship that Cannot Sink. New York, January 18.—Uncle Rufus Hutch, with his iron steamboat company, already has u rival in the Fall River steamboat company. This company Ims given John Roach, the shipbuilder, carte blanche to build them a non-sinkablc, lion-burnable iron steamboat for frutile on the sound. It is to be 395 feet long, made entirely of iron, with a double hull, divided into many watertight and airtight compartments. In the room of oLiai ^phTcermere writ bo a thermometric dial Connecting with every compartment in the ship, and a fire in any one will be at. once signaled on the dial and can be flood ed by means of a system of pipes. Tlnj vessel will bo absolutely unsitik- ablo. She will attain u speed of twenty miles an hour, be lighted by electricity and carry 1,500 passen gers. Blaine ami Coukling have never addressed each other oxcopt at sonic dinner party, where they were com pelled to talk across the conversation, but after tho dinner they would pass ii8 coldly as over. Grant is un enemy of Blaine—thc.worst ho has got—and a dangerous ono. He paid Hancock oil in tlio flush of Hancock’s fortunes fo^ditfering with him in 1807 anti bringing criticism about his head. Ho used the powerful medium of an mtorviow, which ho could afterward repudiate if it should work him any injury, und so belittled Uuticoek and disparaged him that lie broke down that “superb cqniposo.” Tlio enemy then run over Hancock and mude the campaign a rout. Perhaps Grant 1ms got a thunderbolt somewhere for Bluno to mash him before bo can go into Garfield's cabinet. It would not snrpriso me at nil if Cunkling should put it iuto.GL'nnt’8 head to write Garfield a letter, either private or public, protesting against. Blaine's promotion. Anmn who went around the world with Grant told me that Blaine's entering into Garfield’s cab inet would make n coolness between Grunt and Garfield. Says the Warrenlon Clipper: It is a remarkable occurrence, that while the body of the late Mr. Samuel Hall was awaiting burial, Moses, a colored man and former slave of the deceased, approached the house to see his old master once more before they laid him away and before reach ing the gate he was observed by sev eral gentlemen to suddenly full, and then make an effort to rise. They hastened to his assistance, but upon being raised life heaved a deep sigh and breathed his lust. His heart was observed to beat rapidly for a few minutes, and life was over. His colored friends say he had suffered from heart disease a long while, anil hud several times fallen, but recov ered. An inquest was held, and it was decided that the excitement caused by hearing of his, muster’s death and the expectation of seeing him a corpse was too great—he sank under it. A Moving Palace. Cedar I! a puis, Iowa, January 18. —Tho new car for tho direct ore of t‘*c Minneapolis and St. Louis Rail way, costing $20,000, just built, passed north for Minneapolis this morning over the Burlington und Cedar Rapids road.
