“In Brooklyn alarge broker'sofliee,

who receives a great many evening

It is a singular social ethics which
makes such notices as the above nec
essary in a lady’s parlor.
The Riohmond (Va.) Enquirer says j
that a number of leading colored
men have in contemplation the estab
lishment of a colored school of Indus
try in that city. Tho plan has been
fully wutqred, and the work is to be
begun upon it at once. Tho object is
to reclaim the idle colored youth from
tho streets and make them useful i
members of society by instructing
them In tho mechanic arts. They
will have workshops, and carry out a
general system of diversified labor,
hoping in the end to make their in
stitution self-sustaining.
Impnruml Decision.
The Supreme, Court has decided
that a mmiiciiml corporation is not
liable to an notion for damages for
the illegal arrest of a citizen by one
of the police officers of tho city. For
such arrest, the officer is himself lia
ble. This was a case from Bibb,
Charles Cook vs. Mayor and Council
of Macon.
The above decision settles a vexed
and doubtful question. Now that
siich is tho law, proclaimed by the
highest Judicial tribunal in Georgia,
it is more than ever incumbent upon
all municipal authorities to place
men on tho police force who will dare
to do fight, and not for anybody, ex
ceed their authority. Under the law
as it now is, a suit for damages
ngalrtsttho average policeman, will
only mulct tho plaintiff in costs, for
after a judgment is obtained, there is
no property to bn found subject to a
levy.
The humblest man in the land de
serves protection, and if an officer
trans'cends his authority, his bonds
men are responsible. In municipal
eorporatiogs, no ’one Is responsible
except the police, therefore, good
mon should tie placed on the force
throughout, the State.

Tho Washington Chronicle, says of
dlptiuyia: I
"The* public attention has keen
frequently (sailed to the alarming
anti unusual prevalence of diptheria
tho past winter in New York city,
and it doe* not appear to diminish
with tho approach of Spring. Dur
ing the week, ending April 9d, the
number 6f deaths was forty-one, and
1 during last week tho number was tho
same. This is considerably within the
average of the winter, litit. forty-one
deaths a week from diptheria repre
sents a fearful waste of life. The
Times says that twenty-three mil
lions of people in England ami
Wales do not furnish a weekly
average of more than sixty deaths
from diptheria, and yet Now York
reached during last winter sixty
deaths In a week, without unybody
appearing to be either alarmed or in
dignant on the subject. An areo of
half a mile square in the loth ami
13th wards almost Invuriably accounts
for twenty-live per cent, of all the fa
tal oases of diptheria for the week in
New York.”
It would seem then that this fatal
malady springs Rom local causes. It
is on the Increase in Georgia, too, we
think. Is aot our.climate gradually
undergoing a change ?
Wiut Till Nation Djunks.—The
imported brandies, wines, cordials,
gin and other spirits for the year
ending Juno 30, 1871, had a value,
duter Included of $0,300,000. They
furnished in tlvo same year 65,l)oo,00o
gallons to tho trade. Tho brewers
added 9,000,000 barrels or 270,000,000
gallons of malt, liquors. The import
ed liquors cost the consumer about
$12,000,000; tho native liquors cost
him about $200,000,900, and the malt
liquors $200.000,000 more, a total of a
little more than $400,000,000, or $lO to
the head of the population. But. as
the number pi t,uq*>o uvlyo, drink is
probably not more titan s,<ibo,tH)o. the
amount for each is SBO per annum,
$1 50 a week, 25 cents a day as the
average. The sum looks large, but a
"nalion <£ drunkards" cannot be
made chi 25 bents a day. Consequen -
ly some drinkers must get more than
their share.
I A i’rusiirctlvc Bureau of WelKlits and

‘Tabis, April 18. The diplomatic
conference upon & metrical system of
weighs giui measures met here on
Ycap'idny. Brazil, the United Slates,
Venezuela and the Argentine Repub
lic were represented. The conference
resolved to establish an international
bureau of weights and measures.”
In Germany, in the sixteenth cen
. tury, a writer, inspired by tho Utopia
of universal fraternity, In his dream
ingr prophesied what will one day
become a reality. The landgrave of
Hesse was part a fool, part a prophet,
when ho wrote;.
“Hatton wlr abor olnen Glaubnn
(loti und OorocbUgkolt vor Augen,
Kla Gorlcht, Maas. Munez mid Gold,
Dan stunde es besser in dieser Weld."
| “If all men, elevating their regards
towards God and towards justice, had
the same beliefs, the same weights,
measures and moneys, ull would go
better in this world.”
The civilized world is fast attaining
cosmopolitanism. The world-from
Russia t,o Brazil, from England to the
Indies, front Europe to Africa and
Asia through the Suez Canal, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is being
transformed by commerce. Links of
iron traverse a continent; and links
of wire transmit news through the
valleys of the ocean with tho rapidity
of lightning, traversing thousands of
miles “in the twinkling of an eye.”
Why, then, should a metrical system
of weights and measures be deemed
impracticable ? Who thought the
Isthmus of Suez practicable before
M. Ferdinand de Lesseps had demon
strated Its success V What is it to
day V
“The Suez Canal, from the plateau
of El-Guisr, traverses tho great Me-.
nezalet lake, then the lakes of Bnl
lab. It passes through El-Guisr, en
counters lake Timsah, then theSeru
peur break, the barrier on the versant
which regards tho Red Sea in the
great salt lakes and in the plain of
Suez.”
Under the handsof industry, guided
by science, tho desert has given place
to laughing edifices, and the sterile
waters to gardens; tho water mid the
sun of Egypt will do the rest. At the
junction of the maritime and the
fresh water canals, the verdant track
! advancing from the Nile across the
sands towards the centre of the Isth
mus, is tho valley of Gcssen, of the
Bible. “There Jacob and his sons,
called by Joseph, were established
in the land of pasturages.” It was
from there that the great emigration,
directed by Moses, set out.
Tlp Nufz Cniml.
The Suez Canal is a singular illus
tration of what may be culled the
irony of diplomacy. The canal was
a French scheme. For many years
its construction was opposed by Lord
Palmerston, partly on tho ground
that it could never be built und parly
for political reasons. His Lordship
contended that the privileges origin
ally conceded to the French company
wero so uxtensivo as to authorize the
establishment on Egyptian soil of a
strong French colony, commanding
a position of military importance.
With his traditional dislike for
France, and that terror of French iu
tluence which existed in tie* minds of
ull statesmen who had hud dealings
with the First Napoleon, Lord Pal
merston feared that what seemed to
lie simply a mercantile scheme was
in truth a French (dot for blocking
England’s path to India. Hut the
canal was built, mainly by tho genius
of M. de Lesseps and tho enterprise
and statesmanship of tho late Empe
ror Napoleon and tho present Khe
dive of Egypt. Its practical effect
has been to strengthen English com
merce, and over seventy Per cent, of
the ships passing through carry tlie
English flag. Home changes have
been made in tho uses for which the
canal was intended. M. de Lesseps
did not suppose it would be used by
any but sailing vessels, but steamers
have beeu built suited to it. There
are new fleets of steamers of com
pound engines capable of going long
distances with little fuel. The pro
jectors anticipated that the annual
tonnago I)etween Europe and the
East would be six million tons. It,
however, hus only reached two mil
lions, hut is growing. —N. Y. Herald.

Our esteemed friend Dr. John E.
! Bacon, permits iis to publish the fol-
I lowing particulars concerning tho
Eucalyptus Globulus. It will lie seen
that our climate is too far north to
admit of its successful introduction
here.
We nre impressed with the belief,
however, that there are many indige
nous plants adapted to our climate
that will answer tho sumo purpose,
viz: tho absorption of malaria
through tho leaves; the sunflower is
a cuso in perint. Its utility in this re
spect. hus been loi g reo ignlzed:
Department of Agiuccltubk, I
Washington, June 17, 1874. (
John E. Bacon, M D., Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Sir I have yours of the 14th
iustunt in regard to tho Eucalyptus
Globulus tree, and in reply beg to en
close a circular basod on the experi
ence of the Department in its experi
ments with that plant, by which you
will see that it cannot be grown in
your latitude; indeed, no where on
tho Atlantic coast above 32 degrees
north latitude, and in but few loca
tions above 30 degrees. You should
not place too much reliance upon the
onti-uiulariul inlluenco of this tree,
as its properties in that respect have
not been fully tested in the United
States. It is well settled that it will
not stand 10 degrees of frost. Trees
15 feet high were killed in New Or
leans by frost two years ago.
I am, very truly,
Frederick Watts. Commissioner.
P. R Tho Department has young
plants of the Eucalyptus, which may
bn removed in October next, or next
spring; and if you desire a few, and
arc willing to pay expressage, they
shall be sent, on advice from you in
October, or the last of March next.
This Department is favored with nu
merous inquiries relative to seeds and
plants of the “Eucalyptus Globulus,”
an Australian tree, which lias lately
attracted popular attention ou ac
countof various properties attributed
to it such ns its salubrious influence
in malarious districts; its use in med
icine ns a substitute for quinine; the
value of the leaves in application to
gun-shot wounds, &c., &e. The De
partment being desirous of introduc
ing this species of Eucalyptus, pro
cured seed in the spring of 18G7, from
which plants were produced. These
were distributed in various sections
of the country with a view of testing
its adaptability. The result of this
inquiry is recorded in the annual re
port of the Department for 1870, viz:
“That it will not stand in our climate
where the mercury sinks ten degrees
below the freezing point.” The ter
ritory suited to the growth of this
plant is, therefore, limited to certain
States in the South and on the Pacific
coast.
A Jaimncse Girl'* Letter.
This composition was sent to a gen
tleman in Columbus to read, and is
written in a beautiful, clear, even
hand. Wo publish it to sho.w tho
aptitude of tho girl, and then it gives
a Hliglit Insight into life in China.
This is the composition of a Japanese
girl of about nine years old, at school
in Georgetown, D. C. Stic is being
educated for a teacher in her own
country ut the expense of the Japan
ese Government, and is in tho care
of Mr. anti Airs. Chas. Lunman :
MV HOME IN JAPAN ANP MV HOME IN
AMERICA.
I like both of my homes, but I like
my homo in Japan better than in
America. Of course I ought to like
my home where my mother is most.
My father has moved since I left, but
my old home was very pleasant. D
was in a village in Yeddo, but there
were very few houses. Back of our
house was another, where the person
lived who owned our house; and near
the house was a deep lake, and often
my brothers and myself used to feed
the fish and would watch them with
pleasure. Across the lake there was
a bridge, and water lilies grew under
it, and on the other side of it was a
ri e field, and you would have to go
around the other way to get to the
! nsmk, IsoMMitK there were two other
ryti field* on that side. On tho other
side *a*a row of cherry trees that
were very beautiful, when in blos
som, and many jieopie came to see
theca, bat the policemen would not
; allow them to puil the blossoms.
We had a two-story house and
j (torchesail around it, and a garden.
My futhcr has bought anew place,
[ and it has about twenty acres; and
my mother wrote me there would be
plenty of peas, peaches and grapes
when I get home again, and it was
very beautiful.
It is now two years since I came to
America. I crossed the Pacific Ocean
in the steamship America, which was
burnt last year. I could not speak a
word of English then. My home in
America is vory pleasant and com
fortable, but the one in Japan is
cooler in the summer. It is in George
town, near the capital of the United
States. I live with Mr. and Mrs.
Lunman, who arc very kind to me,
and I have many friends. Mr. Lan
man lias many books and pictures,
which are very interesting; and a
pleasant garden, with many fruit
trees and flowers, and I do not think
I could bo more happy away from
home; and I enjoy my school very
much. Ume Tonda.
Blaine’s Opinion op Grant. -“But
Grunt is a man of a strangely com
posite ability?”
“He is,” said the ex-Bpeaker, “an
extraordinary man. His silence is a
great power. The silent man always
has the odds with him. He bets bn
the field as long as he is silent. As
soou ns he opens his mouth lie has
named his horse.”
In answer to a question as to what
course the British Government would
take if the independence of Belgium
was threatened in consequence of
her rejection of Prussia’s demands,
Mr. Disraeli said there had been
much exaggeration in this matter,
but if Belgian neutrality was threat
ened England was prepared to do her
duty.

lug Special Jnstructiont :
Ist. Let the tax pay < r* know that they cau re- j
turn their wild laud* no matter where located, to j
I tbe Tax Receiver of tho County of their residence, !
aud pay the tax there* n to th Tax Collector of
the Coutity of their residence. The law is ac.
comm''dating to taxpayers, and no doubt they
will avail themselves of this easy method of re
turning for taxation their wild laud it better ac*
qnaiuted with the law. and avoid subsequent con.
fusion.
2nd. Let eacu lot be returned by number, Dis
trict Section and present or original County, that
they may bo easily located and the County tax
collected thereon, forwarded by mo to tho Coun
ty where located, as tho law requires this of the
Comptroller-General.
3d. In making out a list of unrtturned wild
lauda located in your County, bo very careful and
u it put down the wrong figures, or cuter suy lot
which has been returned t<> you.
I have bean greatly surprised and mortified to
know that the Wild I.and Li*t of 1874. recently
published, contain lot* which were returned to
Receivers, and even lot* embraced In plantations.
Aa this list is made up of returns from Receivers,
and it being impossible to revise each return with !
every lot in each of the other one hundred and I
thirty-five Counties, yon can see the importance |
of having correct lists of unreturned wild lauda.
As you have the returns, both of improved and
wild laud* before you. a id as most of the Re
ceivers have maps of their counties, and plenty
of time to revise aud correct these li*t* of uure
turuedwildiauils.it seems that there is cause
for censure s mewhere when such flagrant mis- 1
take* are made a* shove mentioned. Tbe mis
ts kes are not of this office.
Tue penalty lor nou-performnuce ol duty, or ;
carelessness, is forfeiture of a part or all your
