BY PAUL PRY. Oh ! Georgia owns a very great man, A very great man is he ! He soars aloft With eagle’s wings And revels in policy. By plot and plan, they say he can Control the Legislature, That the venal press, seeks Ills caress To pander to his nature. He knows the weight—can tell the rate For Senator or Saint, A nd In a trice, can fix a price That stifles all complaint. With wealth untold in stocks and gold, He wields a kingly sway. And men kneel down tc» tiris Joseph Brown, Because It’s a thing will pay. No matter what—like an autocrat Ho commands, and so .h oboy; And without a race, he gains a place In the Senate of to-day. And people try to close the eye To the barter of the three; For Gordon’s name, and Gordon’s fame A nd the Hero of Olustee. Let Georgians then, brave stalwart men ! The Lester flag unfold, ’Till Brown discern, and Colquit t learn They cannot be bought or sold. Oh ! Georgia owns a very great man, A very great man is he ! Ho soars aloft witli eagle’s wings And revels in policy. Savannah, Ga., July 27th, 1880. Starvation Proof As Dr Tanner’s fast of forty days goes on the curiosity mongers are busy collecting notes of fom« remarkable fasts most ot them tWitinnw and with the iDteut of throwing ^credit upon the Tanner total abstinence. Here is a batch of them : Cecilia, wife of John Eygeway. was lodged in Nottingham jail for the murder of her husband, and abstained from lood and drink for forty days, upon heariogof which Kiog Edward III. "moved by p.ety and for the glory of God, to whom the miracle Dardoriu’ril gr *5 te 6 TJhnVntt pardon April -o, lo57. H57 John Scott lost a lawsuit and couldn t pay the costs so he took refuge in the Abbey of Holyrood House where he abstained from all meat and drink for forty days together Henry \ III. bearing of tbs had a f^ bcott d ^ imprisoned 0t - beh 7 e in a the8t0ry room in Ed witb inburgh castle where he tempted him bread and water. Scott did uot ^°r C It, ° r bll ff V7? Wh ! ch Sa -' lsfied T the T King - that the claim ol absti- , nence was genuine. Then lie turned Scott free and going into the street the well-fasted mau made a speech to the people, wherein he professed “to do a tins by the help of the Blessed \ lrgin, ami said be cculd fast as long as be Rome, pleased to. He afterwards went to where he fasted for rope Cle meut VIII, from whom he got a di piouia with the holy seal, aud went clothed in pnestly robes to \ leuna, where he made another fast and re rULrimw a pilgrimage “to to 1t8 in lh'.‘ t Ho!

Sha was a maiden freak and healthy, piously disposed, and, says her cler, “of the Church of England, therefore less likely to put a trick up¬ on the world.” In 1762, Anne Welsh, of gate lost her appetite, and for months took nothing but one-third of pint of wine and water and in perfect health; Catherine McLeod, In 1772, of sbire, was stricken with a fever at age of thirty-five, and Dr. Pennant avouches that for months she partook of neither food drink. She was known to the as "Pennant’s fasting woman.” Monica Mutcheteria, of Swabia, 1774 trained herself for two years on a diet of a little curds and wheyper and the following year ate and nothing, and yet lived comfortably. In 1786 Dr. Willan, respectable sician, attests that he attended a nomaniac who ate nothing for days. In 1809 Ann Moore, the woman of Tutbury,announced that could do without food altogether made a good many people believe bury her assertion. At length several unbelievers in her story of tion thought it worth while to set watch upon her. She held out until the ninth day, when she gave up took a bite to eat. The watchers made her sign a confession that she had practiced a fraud, and had ally taken sustenance during the six years.” There was a case of “starving in South Wales in 1869, whose parents guve out that she had eaten nothing tor several mounths. They allowed a watch to be set upon her, the girl was stubborn and died, and the parents were found guilty of manslaughter. Mollie Fancher and Louise Lateau, have attracted public attention of late as tasters, but they have made no trustworthy records of abstinence. George Francis Train had theories of fasting which he never reduced to practice for any extraordinary period Dr Tanner claims to have gone forty two days without food; once upon a time, and he is now making a record ot abstinence under the surveillance of sleepless watchers. He makes no claim of receiving miraculous aid, and his fast more than half over, he seems to be fattening on water. Should he finish his slotted forty days and live the feat will be the signal for starving matches all over the country, but the price of provisions will not be serious¬ ly affected thereby.— St. Louis Re¬ publican.

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1880. The Fleetest of Yachts. A Craft that has Beaten Nearly all the Eng¬ lish Flyers. [From the London Globe, July 7.] The extraordinary career of the cut¬ ter Vanduara promises to bring about a revolution in English yacht-building. Since this clipper made her first ap¬ pearance on the Thames at the begin¬ ning of the present season, her success has been so unprecedented that one must go back to the time of the Secret to find anything like a parallel. To recount the victories she has achieved in less than two months would be an endless labor, suffice it to say that she has met the fleetest yachts in England, including the Latona, the Florinda, famous Formosa and the Cuckoo, in all sorts of weather and in all sorts of waters, both narrow and wide, and that she has won eleven out of thirteen of these races. It was imagined that ehe would not do so well in a strong wind with a heavy sea, but she disposed of that theory a few days ago bv hand somely beating the Latona under these very circumstances in a race from Os* tend to Dover, without receiving any time allowance for the much larger tonnage of her antagonist. This sue cess she followed up fairly running away.with the Duke of Connaught’s cup in a race from Dover to Cowes Roads, a distance of 110 miles, against a strong head wind most of the way. The other competitors were the Li tona and Mr. Mulholland’s flying schooner, the Egeria, but the Vandua* ra came in some eleven or twelve miles abead, chiefly through making better weather in the nasty chopping sea. What is the seeret of this amazing success? That remains unexplained, but we should be inclined to surmise that the material with which the Van duara is composed has a great deal to do with it. She is built of steel, the first time, we believe, that the metal has been employed Long for the hull of a racing Paget brought yacht. ago Lord Alfred out a 25-ton cutter, called the Belvedere, which was built of iron, and did pretty well, and some years afterwards the famous Mosquito was constructed, if we remember right ly, of the same material. But after a struggle wood once more regained the supremacy, and of wood have all our more celebrated racing yachts been built since that date. It is possible, of course, that the success of the Van¬ duara may be due to some special merit in her liues of construction aud not to the material of which she is composed. Yachtsmen will remember how, a few years ago, the hideous Jul lanar, with her protruding prow and raking stern-posts, astonished the world by her cleverness in turning to J windward, the very point in which the : Vanduara chiefly excels, Perhaps, therefore, the lines of the latter miy be partly adapted from those of the ugly yawl, which, again, were traced on those of the Bombay pattimars. Be the explanation what it may, England evidently now possesses a yacht second ! to none of her size in the world. ---- A Quick Resignation.

A Colored Democrat’s Views. Mr. L. H. Henderson, an upright, honest, industrious and intelligent col¬ ored man and aD old resident of Tam¬ pa, was called on at the Hancock and Bloxbam club last Saturday night for a speech, and, in responding to the call of his Democratic friends, he gave his reasons why he had left the Re¬ publican party. He said that in the first place the Republicans really cared nothing for the colored people, except in a political campaign, and then it was only their votes that they wanted. He said that a few years ago by in¬ dustry and economy he had accumu¬ lated some $250 which he had laid aside for a rainy day, and that a white 8 Republican land State3 from whose one heart of the was New overflow- En iD S Wlth Jove for the P 00r ne g™, came a ^ OI, 8* found out that he had this mone y aQd borrowed it from him, a P 00r » credulous darkey, for which he § ave him his note. Well, that ncde , home in ^ his trunk 19 uo\y acd that mo-t affectionate Republican wept over the wrongs of the poor ld o§ er9 > h s not come back to pay it y e t> although it has been some six y eara g ince this little transaction. He that the Southern Democrats were true friends of the colored people and that it was rare, indeed, that they caded on their old white friends and neighbors when in distress, but what sympathy was extended and relief af f° r< f ei l B it was possible to give it. He 9a * d ^hat we were a H here together and ^ W0Uld certainly be well for us to act together politically, and more especi a lly should the colored people do this as * n opposing themselves to the Derno crat ?> ttje raca .was being used by de¬ signing politicians for their personal benefit aQ d without any prospective advantages to his race more than they we ^ Such e now enjoying, was the substance of this color ed Democrat s remarks, and brought back forcibly to our mind the memo¬ Freedmen s Bank swindle, by which his race in the South was 8 windled out of several millions of dol ^ ars .^heir hard earned savings by the Pecksniffs and Christian statesmen of Republican party .—lampa Iri - l une - Compliments of the Season. John Sherman, secretary of the treas¬ ury, in aD official letter, dated Janu¬ ary 31, r 1379, and addressed to Col¬ lector A thur, in New York city, says: "Persons have been regularly paid by you who have rendered little or no service; the expenses of your office have increased while the receipts have diminished Bribes, or gratuities in the t-uaps of bribes, have been re¬ ceived by your subordinates iu several branch is of the custom house, and you have in no case supported the effort to correct abuses.’ ’ The same Collector Arthur is now a candidate for Vice President of the United States on the same ticket with James Abraham Garfield, whom the United States Supreme Court, the same vear, convicted of selling his official iu fluence as a member of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, lor five thousand dollars.— lei ______ How He Did Ix.-Before the days , microform there was a quack in Francisco who advertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in a chair, and the instrn ^ ent applied to bis tooth with a wrench followed by a roar from the unpleas j j ed sufferer. “Stop,” youSelf. cried the dentist. “Compose I told you I would give you no pain, but j on i y j u9t gave show you the Cartwright’s twinge as a specimen, to you the* method of operating.’’ Again in* strument was applied—another tug, another rear. ‘Now, don't you be iuipatient; that is Dumerge'a way; seateJ and be ca!m l 7 0U will now be sensible of the superiority of my meth od.” Another tu £. anot ^ er roar - “Pray be quiet; is Parkinson's mode, and you Ilke ^ Q0 W0Dder *” ^ this time the tooth bung by a thread, and i t out t h e operator exultingly d . iThis ig mv and mode ot tooth-drawing enable § w;thout paiD . you are now to compare it with the operations of Cartwright, Dumerge and Parkinson.” ------------- A Fool Once More.

Sir months ago I eaw a United States Hag with Hop Bitters on it, aud I I would be a fool once more. I tried it, but mv folly proved to be wisdom.

Detroit, Mich — -» m m - According to the recent census, the popu.aiion of Vicksburg ha^ fallen off since the census of 1870. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The population of Richmond, Va., is 64,650, of which 26,697 are colored.’ A petition was recently presented to Parliament from the British Medical Association, signed by seven thousand medical men, against yaccination. The man who drew a $25,000 hotel in Wisconsin in a lottery the other day was at once asked to pay up a mort¬ gage of $30,000 on the property. La Grange is now the dryest town in Georgia. The city fathers of that place have made the license for selling liquor in quantities of one gallon or more, $1500 per annum. The Soldiers’ Daughters’ home in England has, in the twenty-five years of its existence, educated 800 soldiers’ daughters and placed 350 in schools as teachers or in families. A paper house, equipped with- paper furniture, paper carpets and curtains, a paper stove and paper dishes, to¬ gether with stylish paper clothing for its occupants, is among the curiosities of the Sydney, Australia, exhibition. It will be good news to the Ameri¬ can enemies of poligamy and religious despotism to know that the non-Mor¬ mon population of Utah Territory has in the last decade risen from 1,000 to a total of 32,000. A real practical benevolence, is that of Miss Wolfe, of New York, who has provided for the New York newsboys a new lodging house in East Broad¬ way, where, for a few pennies a day, they have comfortable beds, meals and baths, the use of a library of 1,500 vol¬ umes, and other conveniences at hand Such deeds as this, count far more than many prayers and tract distributions. Heretofore Mexican fractional silver coins have not been held redeemable by the United States. It has lately been discovered that section 3,567 of the Re¬ vised Statutes provides that one-fourth, one-eighth, and one-sixteenth pieces of the Mexican silver dollar are redeem¬ able when presented at the proper offices in the United States, at 20 cents, 10 cents, and 5 cents respectively. The danger of trouble with Spain on account of the recent Bring of a vessel of that nationality on two American schooners seems to have passed. Ad¬ miral Wyman reports that the vessels were within three miles of the Cuban coast limits, which is equivalent to Spanish soil. Within that limit a cruiser has a right to overhaul a foreign vessel. Representative Butterwor$i, of Cin¬ cinnati, was in Washington and had a protracted talk with Secretary Sher¬ man about the political outlook. He left for Harrisburg It to talk see Senator Cameron. is current among Re¬ publicans that Cameron, since his re¬ turn home, is holding off a little, and before jumping into thecauvns wants to know whether he is to control the offices in It Pennsylvania il Garfield is elected. is asserted positively that they have not yet come to an under¬ standing.

It is tn many casee a boon rather than the reverse to the person immediately affected. The lose of reason lands the sufferer from a sea of trouble into one of comparative calm—often into one of decided happiness; and attempts to re¬ store such a person to sanity would be cruel rather than kind. Moreover, he insists that without a ceitain amount of insanity success in life, in Ihe ordinary acceptation of the term, is quite im possible. tends, All decidedly “eminent men,he con are more or less mad.
