A LEBKNB OF OKKUNOHF.L.
There was once a frog,
And be lived in a bog
On the banks of Lake Okefiuokee ;
And the words of the song
That he sang all day long.
Were, "croakety, croakety. rroakj.”
Said tha frog, “I have found
That my life's daily round
An this place ia exceedingly poky;
So no longer I'll stop
But I swiftly will hop,
▲way from Lake Okefinokse ’
Now a bad mocking bird,
By mischance overheard
The words of the frog as he spokes.
And he said, "All my life,
Frog and I've been at strife.
And we lived by Lake Okefinokee.”
“Now I aee at a glance,
Here's a capital chance,
Fbr to play him a practical jekes;
So I II venture to say.
That he shall not to-day.
Go away from Lake Okefiuokee. * ’
So this bad mocking-bird,
Without saying a Ward,
Ylew off tea tree that was oakey;
And loudly he sang.
Till the whole foreat rang.
“Oh, croakety, croakety, croaky."
As he warbled this song,
Master Frog came along,
A filling bis pipe for to smoker;
And he thought "sue luors frog
Has escaped from the bog.
Of Okefiuokee—finokee."
“I am filled with amaze,
To hear one of my race,
A warbling on top of an oakey;
But. if frogs canclfnip trees,
1 may still flud some ease,
On the beaks of Lake Okefiuokee.'’
So he climbed up the tree.
But alas, down fell be,
And his lovely green neck, it was brokse;
And the sad truth to say.
Never more did ho stray,
From the banks of Laks Okefiuokee.
Then the bad mocking bird
Said, "how very absurd,
And delightful a practical jokes."
But. oh! sorry to say,
He was drowned the next day.
In the waters of Okefinokee.

Blaine on Adams.
Truly, in tbia canvass, the “heath
en rage and the people Imagine a
vain thing,’’when the ribald and God
hating lugeraoll, and the brilliant
and unscrupulous Blaine can And
audiences before which they can
“rage against the highest” and tra
duce the noblest characters. The
flood-gates of the lower world aro
opened, and the mountains of the
great deep beneath are broken up to
pollute and blacken with ooze char
acters which have stood for half a
century as synonymous with purity
and nobility.
Nothing shows more clearly the
straits to which the Republicans aro
reduced than the attack of Blaine on
the high character of Cliurles Francis
Adams. The descendant of an illus
trious family, to whoso reputation
he has added his own, the law stu
dent df Daniel Webster, the brother
in-law of Edward Everett, the associ
ate of all the best men of this country
and Europe, honored and respected
by them all, one of the leaders of
the Republican party when it pos
sessed ideas and principles, the suc
cessful and only Republican Minis
ter who won both success and honor
at the Court of St. James, he was
above attack. He is beyond ttie
reach of the unprincipled time-server
and railroad jobber. A more ridicu
lous display could not have been
made than Blaine’s effort to revile
Mr. Adams. But then the veriest
mangy cur is privileged to bay the
moon. It may do the cur good and
it does the moon no harm. The
very tact of such an attack would
have been sufficiently out of place;
but when the vindiettve, soured poli
tician, with heart turned against all
that is purer than himself—and what
is not.?—meanly spoke of idle rumors
and sought to stab by means of in
nuendoes based upon idle on dits, ho
gunk to the lowest depth yet reach
ed. Among men the most cowardly
assault is that of him who slanders,
liken coward, from behind a “they
say.” An ingenious fabrication, the
artistic details of a bold falsehood,
are entitled to a certain bad emi
nence ; but he is only despised fora
coward who assaults and bases a
slander on the rumor of fifteen years
ago, with no tact supporting..
Unless we are greatly mistaken in
the temper of a public mind gorged
to disgust and nausea, by slander,
this one will reooil with fearful effect
on the wily and 111 tempered politi
cian. If such slanders can go uure
buked. pass by undespised, then no
character is safe and no worth so ex
alted as to escape calumny. If such
things can be without exciting
especial disdain and indignation,
then the American public must hare
so lost, through conscious guilt and
unworthiness, its own manhood and
self-respect, that it can neither know,
nor honor, nor hereafter again pro
duce great and good men.
Lofty purpose may well panse then
in its purposed career and seek the
miry paths of fpolution trodden by
oar Blaines, where filth can be gath
ered to besmirch all that is pure.
If such things canl be without just
rebuke, then there is no lofty ideal
in American politics, and no deep
yearning for the enthronement of
worth and high moral purpose in
American public life.
But this wave of slander and of
blackening characters will pass
away, and with it the Btaines and all
that dispicable crew of slander
ghouls, whose mission it appears to
be to dig up and feed upon tne poison
ous whispers which are breathed out
and stamped upon and hushed in
ordinary times—the venomous eman
ations of little minds only in this
Blaine age become of public conse
quence. It will be curious to note in
Massachusetts the effect of this slan
der of her most honored and noblest
son. Mr. Blaine is likely to find
that he has sent the wave of slander
to beat upon a shore where it will be
dashed to thin spray, and dissolved
into thinner mists. He has probably
in his calumny of Mr. Adams brought
the rule of slander to a culminating
point whence it will rapidly recede
and bear him back with It a total
wreck, brought to the end of his dis
graceful career.

Georgia Public Debt.
The startling misrepresentations of
the public debt and financial status
of Georgia, made bv Mr. Norcross
in his rambling speeches during the
gubernatorial canvass, are capable
of deceiving only those who ure ig
norant of our roal condition. Gov.
Smith, iu his speech before the
Young Men’s Democratic Club, on
Monduy night, presented a tabulated
statement of the debt of the State
by its various aggregates from the
last of January, 1870, up to the begin
ning of the present year.
This statement, without a show of
extraneous argument, is a triumph
ant refutation of the unwarranted
statements of Mr. Norcross. and
makes a pluin exhibit of the finan
cial ruins left by Radicalism and
clearances of the burdensome de
bris by Democratic economy and
honesty. We present the statement
as it was made bv Governor Smith,
and we commend it to the careful at
tention of every honest man :

AtMnrpUun or Africa by Great Britain.
As the vast natural wealth of inte
rior aud southern Africa is being un
folded by Cameron and other explor
ers, John Bull takes immediate steps
to reap the benefits by annexation.
Our London disdatchos of September
25th mention the significant fact thut
Sir Garnet Wolsley sailed last Friday
for Port Natal, South Africa, on a
steamer specially chartered for the
purpose, “entrusted with special
powers to represent Great Britain in
the Transvaal Republic, and to give
assurance of the wiltiugness of Great
Britain to annex Transvaal if the in
habitants so desire.” Suoh an an
nexation as this to the Cape Colony
possessions of England would be of
immense advantage to that country,
and would enable England to rule
the whole of southern Africa. John
Bull has a strong hold upon all the
southern part of Africa at the present
timo. and with the annexation of this
republic of Transvaal, 500 by 300
miles in extent, the chances are that
that hold will he increased instead of
loosened or relaxed. Certainly he
will absorb all the independent ter
ritories iu that region. One of these
is the "Orange Free State,” a repub
lic with a President, and which has
such a creditable exhibition at our
Centennial, actually showing more
than several of our own States. It lies
between Transvaal and the British
colony of the Cape of Good Hope,
and is inhabited by Dutch emigrants
and their descendants and native
Kaffirs. But Great Britain has am
bitions that look toward the heart of
Africa also. A couple of years ago
she made an exchange of land in Su
matra for land in Senegamhia with
the Dutch; and though that involved
her in a costly war, she last spring
proposed to exchange settlements
and colonies with France, so as to
obtain undisputed supremacy from
the Pougah to beyond the months of
the Niger-a coast of 700 miles—the
object being of course to prevent
France from extending its conquests
down the coast at the risk of in
terfering with the British advance
northward from the Cape colonies.
She also looks to future trade with
the Congo and the newly explored
lake regions of the interior. But who
will object if she absorb the whole of
Africa ? for, as she has done for In
dia, in which she has gained a simi
lar position, through long persever
ance and at great cost, she will give
it a better civilization than it has
now or ever had before—a better one
than the native population would
ever achieve for themselves.— San
Francisco Call.
Cotton Machinery.— Wm. Perrv,
Esq., of Greenville, S. C., has been
for some time past engaged in mak
ing improvements in cotton machine
ry, which improvements are now
about completed. It is claimed that
by these improvements it will only
require one-half the size of factory
building, one-half the amount of ma
chinery, one-half the amount of pow
er, and only one-half the amount of
capital, required when using the pre
sent style of machinery, to produce
a given amount of goods. Hence, if
it now requires an outlay of $25,000
to put in operation a sufficient
amount of machinery to manufacture
1,000 pounds of goods daily, and it
costs sc. a pound to make it, it will
only cost, by using the improved ma
chinery, $12,500 to produce the same
amount of goods, and only 2jc. a
pound for manufacturing.—Charles

Russia tn India.
While the present situation of Eu
ropean politics suggests a probabili
ty that Russia may find in it tho long
sought occasion for getting control
of the Bosphorus, as a step towards
her ambition for obtaining a foothold
in India, she is also stealthily anvau
cing overland towards northern In
dia. Our readers may remember that,
some time ago, we traced her steady
approacii in that direction, showing
how she was encouraging Cossack
colonization along tho route, and
that, five years ago, she had estab
lished military posts close upon the
limits of Turkestan, and had created
trading post at Samarkand in the
Khanate of Bokhara and Yarkand in
tho Kingdom of Eastern Turkestan.
Wo now find the following signifi
cant piece of information in the
Times of India:
“Private letters from Cabul inform
a contemporary that the object of the
visit of tne Russian Envoy to Cabul
has been communicated through the
Sounger brother of the Ameer, Sirdar
[utiummad Yusuf Khan, to tho
Ameer, but he lias not yet received
permission to deliver his message to
the public durbar. So much of the
nature of tho communication the En
voy has to make is known, viz: to ro
quest permission to establish a Rus
sian trade agency in Cabul, aud to
form an ailianco, offensive and de
fensive, with the Ameer.”
From this it appears that Russia
has already penetrated to the com
mercial centre of Afghanistan, and
is soliciting an alliance offensive and
defensive with one of three khanates
into which that section of Northern
India is divided. Tho city of Cabul
is the capital of the khanante of that
name; which, although independent
of British rule, is contiguous to the
Punjaub, a British province with
some 18,000,000 of population. Thus
wo have Russia proposing offensive
and defensive alliances with India
populations immediately alongside
those under British rule. It deserves
to be noticed in connection with this
fact, that the British authorities in
the Punjaub appear to have an ac
quisitive eye on the Khanante of Ca
bul. The letter to which tho Times,
of India makes allusion also men
tions the fact that preparations are
being made by tho English to capture
Kohat pass, on the lino of mountains
separating tlie Punjaub from Cabul,
from tho natives; which would give
them free access into that district.
Probably, this is contemplated, in
view of the growing proximity of
Russia. In any event, should tho
Khan of Cabul accept Russia’s pro
posals, England and Rusia will then
virtually touch each other on the
soil of India. What may follow, who
can tell? This fact is not without its
significance to the present situation
question.— N. Y. linllelin.

THE REBELS AGAREBBIVE AND SUCCESS
FUL.
Key West, Oot. 5. —The latest news
from Havanu states ithe Insurgent
General Vincente Gareia, before
evacuating,lLastuuoa, burned down
the wholelpluoo, escorting the inhab
itants, sick and wounded, to some
distance. The Garrison were taken
aloug .asii; prisoners excepting the
commander General Toledo, and his
officers, who woroj liberated. This
latter step is very suspicious, and
tho public is clamoring for on inves
tigation into the behavior ot the offi
cers.

city night beforeJJußt in a special
train, with'.two companies of vete
rans. He isjgoing first to the juris

his sudden departure.
Cuba'* New Captain.
London, Oot. .s.—Tho News’ Mad
rid special says tlie appointment
of so important a personage ns Gen.
Martinez Cum plies to the Governor
Generalship of Cuba is proof that
tho Government is making every sac
rifice to crush the Cuban insurrec
tion. The nomination wus totally
unsolicited. Gen. Martinez Complies
will himself nominate his principal
officers.
Matters have come to look serious.
Tho Insurgents havo lately shown
much vigor and determination, ap
pearing suddenly when least expect
ed. Maxinia Gomez in person is said

tion of Colon.
Rumors, not without foundation,
speak of heavy destitution amongst
tho Spanish troops, which are ex
posed to privation and misery, whilst
a great many officers who walk the
streets of Havana appear to be living
well.
It is said tlie Government intends
not to harrass the troops any longer,
but to garrison all places and use
soldiers to arrive from Spain to pro
tect all estates during next crop. This
policy would only increase the star
vation and strengthen the Insurgents,
whose cuuse would gain immensely
by another fruitless winter cam
paign.

KING COAL.
TENNESSEE AND ALABAMA THE FUTURE
SEAT OF EMPIRE.
Prof. J. W. Clarke in Chicago Times.)
England has but 4,500 square miles
of the precious mineral, and has to
win it from a depth of 1,500 to 2,000
feet; we have not less than 240,000
square miles, at an average of 400 to
500 feet, and of every variety of coal
known. The slave which is compell
ed to toil at its transmutation into
gold Is iron. Science has enabled
Great Britain to capture from its lim
ited area sufficient ot this slave pow
er to build up its framework of em
pire. What is our prospect for iron ?
There is in our midst iron enough for
tho world’s consumption for untold
centuries. In parts of our States iron
ore constitutes tho framework of the
earth’s crust.
Is it in such a form that it may be
profitably utilized ? In tho present
aspect or our pig iron interests, a
doubt may Hit across our minds. We
cannot render a verdict from the evi
dence derived from Marquette. The
force, coal, for utilizing her rich iron
ore is too far distant, and conse
quently too costly. Do we look to
Cleveland ? Here the ore labors un
der the same disadvantage. Do we
look to Pittsburg, at present the iron
center—has she tlie coal, the iron,
and the limestone for its flux in such
happy relation as to secure her a po
sition to rule the iron markets of the
States or of the world ? In the
opinion of tho writer, our present
iron centers aro shifting their lo
cation. The world’s supply is
not to emanate from either
Great Britain or Pittsburg. Tennes
see and Alabama will supply the
world’s iron. The great Valley of
the Mississippi has, nurtured in her
more temperate latitudes, communi
ties prepared to grasp this chance.
Three cities are pressing to the front
—Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago.
Cincinnati is distanced ; St. Louis and
Chicago are the competitors. The
former may bo tho Puns of the West;
Chicago certainly tlie London. The
latter’s geographical position impels
her to become the marvellous city of
the planet, if she be true to the best
instincts of humanity. Such a posi
tion can only bo attained by cultiva
ting iu her midst tho richest intel
lects. Her educational institutions
must overflow tho ripest fruit of
soience and art into industries. She
must produce her own chemists,
geologists, mineralogists, technical
artists, civil engineers, and social sci
ence philosophers. Borrowed gold,
without thoso native productions,
will not found aud perpetuate an
empire.
Employment of Time.
The foundation of all economy Is a
wise disposition of time. Let that be
acquired and true economy in every
thing else will infallibly aud speedily
follow; and the most difficult step to
ward acquiring it is real and wise
economy of time. Economy has, in
fact, got a very bad character with
the great majorityjof people, because
It is confounded with stinginess;
though, in fact, they are so far from
being connected that stinginess is a
very deadly enemy to real economy,
while liberality and generosity must
bo confined to words and wishes
where economy is not served.
Some still persons imagine that if
they play the niggard with every cent
anti every article of which they can
once obtain possession they are
good economists. A more wretch
ed and complete mistake can
not be made. Economy is
the right employment of money
and means. Dot the hoarding
or burying of them. To save is very
laudable, Dut it is no saving to lay
up certain pieces of coin while we
shiver for want of fuel or faint for
want of the food which those pieces
of coin would purchase; to do so is
to save the expense of that health
and that duration of life which no
amount of money can purchase or
compensate for.
A Fast Workman.— A printer
named Humphrey’s took off the first
prize at the type-setting tournament
in Montreal, Canada, last Saturday.
He is a compositor on the Montreal
Star, and, according to which paper,
“slings up” a “stickful” of type from
editorial copy In twelve minutes and
fifteen seconds. The type passing
from the “ease” to his “stick” looks
like a visitation of grasshoppers or
a storm of shingle-nails firing at a
mark.
