THE SAVANNAH RECORDER.
Thursday, March 13, 1879.
GEORGIA NEWS.
It is said that there is an ox in Lau
rens county whose horns measure four
feet and eight inches from tip to tip.
The bridge across Little river, in
Cherokee county, for the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad, has been fin¬
ished, and trains on this road are now
running to near Canton. The manag¬
ers of this road hope to reach the latter
place by the first of May.
The foreign papers contain notices of
the fact that a large number of young
men have left or are preparing to leave
Zurich for Georgia, where they propose
to establish an extensive Swiss colony.
The more extensive the better, both for
Georgia and for the enterprising young
men of Zurich.
Mr. Cyrus Field’s Reception.
Cyrus W. Field has issued a thousand
invitations to his reception to be held
to-day, in commemoration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the first at¬
tempt to lay the Atlantic cable. That
attempt, though not practically suc¬
cessful, was sufficiently so to establish
the fact that such a cable could be laid,
and Mr. Field is perfectly right in
keeping up the memories of the day as
not only the greatest in his own life,
but one of the most conspicuous days
in the history of nations. It was on
the 7th of March, 1854, that five mer¬
chants met in Mr. Field’s dining-room
in his house in Gramercy Park, and
determined that the attempt should be
made to lay a cable across the Atlan¬
tic. Their arrangements were con¬
cluded at a subsequent meeti.ig on the
10th. These five persons were amongst
the best known and most enterprising
merchants of New York, and all but
on8 of them will be present at Mr.
Field’s reception to-day. The chair¬
man of the meeting was Peter Cooper,
venerable then, as be is now, and al
ways in the advance where any enter-,
prise is suggested involving the em¬
ployment of large means to promote
what the public spirit calls for. Moses
Taylor was another of these leading
men, and Marshall 0. Roberts the
third. Mr. Chandler White, the only
one of the five who has died, bequeath¬
ed his good office towards the enter¬
prise to Mr. Wilson G. Hunt, who will
be his representative at the reception
to-day. Mr. Field and his brother,
David Dudley Field, original it is needless to
say, completed the profession¬ coterie,
(the latter in his capacity as
al adviser,) and will still be able to
speak for it to-day. Mr. Field keeps
up the historical character of the
dining-room in which the original
meeting was held, and the guests of
this evening will see the room as it was
twenty-five years ago, except that an
oaken table replaces the the one cover¬
ed with green baize upon which the
enterprise was first consummated. The
reception is expected to be a very
notable one
A man with a single idea was worse
ofF than a man who bad none, and more
dangerous to society. Then a good deal
of the bigotry of to-day was the natural
effect of the bitter disputes which so
frequently took place between leaders
of different denominations. When peo¬
ple got pretty close to a church and saw
the air filled with ecclesiastical brick¬
bats naturally enough they said to
themselves, “Well, I guess I’ll go by
another way. I don’t want any of
that. •’Suppose,” direction said Mr. Talmage,
pointing in the of the Nar¬
rows, “that there was a foreign enemy
coming up the bay with a navy all
armed with guns, and that our forts
down there should at once open fire
upon one another while the common
enemy was allowed to ride safely by
and come right up to our doors. Well,
the churches, when they allow them¬
selves to get into these quarrels with
one another, are doing the very same
thing. While they are pouring broad¬
sides into each other the black navy of
the devil sails straight into our society
and carries off its victims.’”
The acceptance by the Swiss people
of the St. Gothard Compromise has
been quickly of followed the by a scheme for
the piercing Simplon. Herr
Favre, the contractor for the St.
Gothard line, is now negotiating with
a group of French financiers for the
execution of this project. The esti¬
mated cost of the tunnel is $14,800,000,
and the length to be bored fourteen
kilometres, and if the work were begun
forthwith coincide its completion would pro¬
bably with that of the St.
Gotlmrd. The distance from Paris to
Milan by the Simplon is 128 kilome¬
tres less than by the Mont Cenis, and
153 less than by the St. Gothard route.
This proposed shortest line would, by therefore,
form the route eighty miles
between England and the East.
Is au Atheist a competent witness?
The question Circuit came Court up in in San the Francisco United
States
the other day, and the judge said
the old common law doctrine, under
which a man who didn’t believe in the
existence of God was excluded from
the witness stand, had become obsolete,
or, it not, it was high time it had. In
support of this view he pointed out
that the ancient rule, if still in vigor,
would exclude such men of science as
Tyndall auu Huxley, which he seemed
t o consider an absurdity. His remarks
aie pretty sure to give rise to diseus
g;ou.
A Deceived Negro,
[From the Kansas City Times.]
large Yesterday morning brought in a
number of colored emigrants from
the Mississippi. They were of the
genuine old plantation kind and full of
belief of the various stories that had
been told them before leaving their
homes and what caused them -to come
West. After all their baggage had
been unloaded and piled away, and a
good look at the depot taken by all,
one of the party land stepped over to Union the
Kansas Pacific office, on
avenue, and there addressed Frank
Crane : “Say, boss, whar do dey get
dem $500 and dat 160 acres of land.
I’se come all de way from ole Missis¬
sippi with de woman and de picanin
nies to get dat, and dey do tell me
over dar (pointing to the Union Depot),
de Gobenor of dis State am a colored
getnman; is dat so, boss?’’ Frank
Crane told him there must be some
mistake, as at present they were not
giving away any money or land. The
honest darkey s countenance fell several
feet, and he left, stating “he would
leave de woman here and see dat Gob¬
enor’'—and, purchasing a ticket for
Topeka, he left on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe train for that point.
Gen. Sherman and Jeff Davis left
Vicksburg, Miss., on the same train the on
Saturday last, and in Herald mentioning
fact the Vicksburg says : “A
friend of Mr. Davis remarked to him
that he would have good company to
travel with in the person of General
Sherman, and the ex-President replied :
‘Well, I suppose there is room enough
on the cars for both of us.’ ”

Hair ,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies’ Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color¬
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
ansurpassed in its excellence.
