[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. Sproals, of New York, Maj. Guth reaux, ot New Orleans, and Capt. .Tames Jackson, of Atlanta.

BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., NOVEMBER 5, 1875, 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. The Mexican babv-cater seems to have fully demonstrated the truth of the saying, that the child is fodder ; to the man. __ - j A certain New York dry goods ! merchant, in wanting a boy, lately displayed the following .suggestive no. lice : “Boy wanted that has fully rested himself, and is not too intel lectual.” 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 fooktc r.—Mei'idWi l£oin*t* a ' t <?hc §uciw Wisttt Swjutf.
