VISIT TO THE STATE FAIR.
[CONTINUED THOM LAST WEEK.]
Mr. Editor:
The geological display made by
Prof. Little, State Geologist, was ex
cellent. considering the short time he
has been in charge of this depart
ment. His collections contained a,
great many of die rarest specimens
of rocks, fossils, &c., procured from
different parts ot the State. A\e
spent some time examining these cu
rious developments of nature, every
one of which lias a history, though it
may be unknown to us. Each spoke
in nnmistakeablo tones, “the hand
that made us is divine.'’ lie had,
pei haps, a greater variety of quartz
than of any other species of rock.
Let us examine quartz and see
what it is. It is to be found mas
sive, crystallized, granular and in
other forms- The primary form of a
crystal is a rhomboid, but it is gen
erally met with in hexagonal prisms;
when crystallized and pure it is call
ed rock crystal, of which Prof. L. had
some beautiful specimens. It is tran
sparent and colorless. It comprises
numerous varieties, many of which
are colored by‘different substances,
as purple quartz or amethyst, sup
posed to be colored by oxide of mang
nese, rose quartz, chalcedony, agate,
ornelion. fiat, jasper, crjsopr.mc.
&c., Ac. Quartz exist abundantly iu
nature, being one of the constituents
of granite, gneiss, mica slate, Ac.
and the principal ingredient of sand,
sandstone anil quartzite.
Commissioner Junes was in atten
dance. He has charge of the agri
cultural and mining bureau of the
State, and bad upon exhibi ion sam
ples of soils from different parts ot
the State i hat had been analyzed at
iiis headquarters at Atlanta by com
petent chemists; lie had also samples
of commercial fertilizers that had
been placed upon the market for sale
itt Georgia, that he had thoroughly
analyzed, and is thus prep i\d to in
form the planter what arc <he con
stituent parts of these several ferti
lizers before they are purchased; by
the same means the planter might
ascertain what nroperth s were defi
cl-nt in his soil, by having the Dr.
to analyze it, free of cost, as he is
paid by the State, and thus be ena
bled to select the fertilizer that would
supply tiie deficiencies that exist in
his soil and are necessary to pio
ducc the greatestyield of crops.
Perhaps the greatest sensation of
the Fair was the baby show at noon
on Friday. There were twenty-two
entries; and of course all prmty, and
each mother thought hers entitled to
the prize. We would not like to
serve on a committee whore we were
compelled to make a decision in the
face of the judgment of twenty ladies,
as there were two prizes offered, ot
course there were twenty ladies \v'*o
were disgusted with the judgment
displayed by the judges. They were
said to be a fine lot ofbab cs. we saw
them, and think they all looked
just al ke. The first prize, the Sin
ger Sewing Machine, was awarded to
Master John Pate Stetson, of Haw
kinsvillc, ago P 2 months, weighing
20 1-2 lbs, and ilie Charter Oak S ove
to Master 11. E. Tigner, of Jones
county, 7 months old, weighing 25 1-2
pounds. The committee was Maj.

of all danger from indignant mothers.
We purpose) referring to the spee
ches made during the Fair week, and
then we have done.
Gen. Hawley was the first speaker, j
His speech was in the interest of he ,
great International Fair to be held
at Philadelphia in 1876. Ho is a
very pleasant speaker, though notan
orator. Said t hirty-eight of the pow
ers of the world would be represent
ed. Russia, that lud for a long time
refused to take part for reasons un
known, had consented, and Italy
also would be represented. We
could give a number of interesting
statements made by the
speaker if we had time.
He insisted on ttic South’s being well
represented. That Jefferson wrote
the declaration of independence,
Rich’d Henry Leo seconded the rcso
lutions, and George Washington car
ried them into execution with his
sword. Ample provision had
been made to accommodate all.
That a citizen of Georgia had pur
chased space to put up head
quarters for Georgians. The great
French restaurant proprietor of Par
is, (whose name we have forgotton,)
with his own house brought from
France, and 80 attendants would be
there. England would send over
two houses built in the ICth century,
and put them up on the grounds.
| The speaker told a great many inter
esting things relative to the Centen
nial.
Judge Kelly followed Gen. Haw
ley in an able argument in favor of
what is known as itifla ion. Said the
only relief for ihe present financial
crisis; and industrial prostration of
the country, was in issuing more
greenbacks, and making them con
j vertible into bonds. That it was isn
! possible to resume specie payment;
:as tin re was not exceeding forty
millions of gold in the United States
Treasury to redeem the hutn.reds of
millions of our nat onal debt. Le
the national debt be transmitted to
future generations. That the distress
and prostration was much greater
North than South. Mr. A. T. Stew
art bought, the other day, a factory
that cost two millions, for one hun
dred and ninety-five thousand. He
diew a distressing picture of the poor
of the northern cities. Made a strong
argument in advocating his views of
the moneyed interest af the counny,
and the only remedy he thought for
the present emergency. As he pro
mised the Telegraph & Messenger a
copy of his speech for publication, we
will desist from any further notice of
it.
Gen. Gordon addressed the Survi
vors Association of Confederate sol
diers, on Wednesday night at the
Court House. It was well-consider
ed and temperate, and us it lias been
published in extenso in the Macon
Telegraph it is unnecessary lo allude
to it iurthcr, except to say, he advis
ed the raising fifty thousand dollars
to build a soldiers’ orphans’ home,
and pledged himself to raise live
thousand of the amount out of Geor
gia, and not ask for a dollar; said a
great many northern men thought it
unjust to tax the South to pay north
ern soldiers’ bounty, &c.
Senator T. F. Bayard, ofßelawarc,
made a speech on Thursday, in favor
of “hard money” or an early resump
tion of specie payment. He is a man
ot eloquence and the ardent friend of
the South. We listened to him more
than three hours and a quarter, and
were rep dd for our time. He speaks
logically and clearly, and presents
his opinions in a manner that com
tnands the highest respect from his
hearers. lie is very candid in his |
statements and seemed to utter only
his honest sentiments.
Ho was very happy in his exon’i-
“Burns said when ho left this
world .bh only wanted a highland wel
come; he would be satisfied with a
Georgia welcome.” lie sailed into
Judge Kelly and his inflation doc
trine ungloved. Mr. B. related some
startling facts as to the debts of this
country. For instance, the debt of
New York was one hundred and.fifty
seven millions while the debt of Lon
don with three times the population
was only twenty mill ons. That the
cities.of the United States owed seven
hundred and fifty-eight million dol
| lars, increased from 1870 four hun
dred and sixty millions. The result
of universal suffrage. Said he op
posed inflation; wants the tax of ten
per cent on private banking institu
tions repealed; wants greenbacks re
ceived for all dues to the Govern
ment; interest on gold bonds should
no longer payable in gold but green
backs. The gold mines of this coun
try yield sixty-five millions annually,
and by a system of wise legislation
wo could soon resume specie pay
ment. Wc must have a change af
Washington first, however, in the per
son of the Chief Magistrate.
In an interview, at the Fair, With
His Excellency, Gov. Smith, ihe
Governor thought there were other
and more important matters to be
disposed of before the financial ques
tion. He alluded to the next elec
tion of President, &c.
In concluding these hurried notes
j on the Fair we have this to say: that
| inasmuch as we have intimated that
|it was not a success, it might be ex
j pected of us to give some of the rcas
! ods of the comparative failure. This
we cannot do. Whilst we may be
able to see very plainly that there
was a sad falling off, we cannot sug
gest- a remedy. The Fair was not a
failure in a financial point, as the re
ceipts [laid the expenses. Yet when
we consider the inexhaustible resour
ces of our great State, and when her
sons have been invited to make a vis
it once a year, (and every conveni
ence is supplied, cheap railroad fare,
Ac.,) and bring with them such
things as will best demonstrate the
progress made by her citizens, and
by comparison with others, thus
stimulate each to renewed energy
and zeal, and exemplify to the world
that we arc not behind the age in
which we live, but the peer of any of
our sister States. And that as we
live in the noontide of the nineteenth
century, we have not failed to catch
the spirit ot the age, but arc the
equal of the most advanced States in
point of mechanical skill, agricultu
ral industry, the arts and manufac
tures.
It Seems to us some such State
pride should imbue the sons of the
empire State of the S uth, blessed as
we arc wi h every variety of soil and
cl mate, adapted to the successful
culture of all the cereals and fruits,
and arouse them to a sense of their
duty. Let us hope that such may be
the case hereafter. Yidi.

have fully demonstrated the truth of

NUMBER 7.
Diptheria.
A physician of distinguished
ability furnished the editor of the
Augusta Constitutionalist tha fol
lowing facts concerning this much
dreaded disease:
1. In its nature, it is not a lo
cal affection, as is usually suppos
ed, but constitutional, pervading
the blood of the whole system be
fore it makes its appearance in
any part; it is of a nature kindred
to erysipelas, and though epidemic*
al, is not strictly speaking, infect
ious.
2. Its most manifest symptom
is a false membrauce of a white
color, which forms upon and around
tho tonsil, near tlte palate, and
which thickens and extends, until
tlie patient dies from suffocation.
This false membrane is, however,
not confined to the throat, hut may
sometimes be seen upon the hands,
or arm, or any other place where
the skin has been removed.
3. Among the cautions to be
observed are the following: yivoid
all medicines and modes of treat
ments which shall exhaust the
strength, and be careful not to in
jure the skin by 7 blisters or counter
irritants, particular in the neigh
borhood of tlie throat.
To effect its cure, aim to restore
as rapily and as effectually as poss
ible, the patients wanting strengh.
For this purpose, let the diet he of
the most nutriiious character—
chicken soup, beef tea, etc:., give
freely of egg-nog, made of good
whiskey, or use the stimulant in
any other way that will combine
nourishment with stimulation.
Add to the general strength by the
use of mineral tonics, of which may
be admin's erod as largely as ten
(Irons at a dose, every two or three
hours for an adult. Between the
doses of iron, give from live to fif
teen grains of chlorate (not chlo
ride) of potash or soda. The chlo
ride of soda may be used as an an
tiseptic gargle, hut the best gar
gle is common salt. *
If the disease gives signs of pe
riodicity 7 by regular remission and
assertions then bring to your aid
the great anti-periodic, quinine.
Cut this out and keep it ready
in time of need, as it may be re
lied on,
A Fair Game. —During the war
a Georgian started to Marietta
with some chickens for sale. He
met a squad of soldiers, and they
bought all his chickens hut one
rooster. lie insisted they should
take him, but they were out of
money, and couldn t buy*.
The old man said ho hated to
tro to town with one chicken, and
was greatly pzuzled about it.
At last one of the soldiers said :
“Old man. I'll play you a game
of seven-up for him.”
“Agreed” says the old man.
They played a long and spirited
<rame. At last the soldier won.
O
The old man wrung the rooster’s
neck and tossed him at the sol
dier’s feet, and mounted his svvah
taled pony and started home. Af
ter getting some two hundred yards
he suddenly stopped, turned round,
and rode back and said:
“You played a fair game, and
won the rooster farly, but Id like
to know what put up agin that
