A Lively Editor.
A young friend of ours, named Gunibs,
undertook to start a paper out in Cam
bria county, a short time ago. He called
it the Cambria Milky Way lie said
in his prospectus that he intented to
make the Milky Way lively spicy, vig
orous, fearless and entertaining; and he
did. In the first number he called the
editor of the rival paper “ a diabolic li
ar, an unmitigated scoundrel, and a
remorseless assassin.” He alluded to
the mayor in a cheerful paragraph, as “a
corrupt magistrate, whose torments from
the remorse which festered in his soul
were only surpassed by the physical ag
or.y which is always the punishment of
the depraved and riotous debauchee.”
He soothed the feelings of the postmas
ter with the remark that “ the specula
tions of this official Dick Turpin can be
compared to nothing but the terrific
robberies committed in the past by those
dastardly Spanish buccnncers whom he
so closely resemble* in general charac
ter.” He announced, under the head of
t: Social Gossip,” that a certain young
man had been rejected the evening be
fore by the lady of bis love, and volun
teered the information that it was 11 the
wisest thing she could have done under
the peculiar circumstances ;” and he re
lated how, upon the preceding day, he
heard another moon-struck young gen
tleman named Alexander Jones remark
to a friend that “ if anything will make
a man feel juicy about the heart, it is to
talk velvet to a pair of sky-colored eyes,
by moonlight, in a clover field.” The
next edition of the paper was not issued
at the regular time. Finally, sonic cop
ies were sent over the town in balloons,
and they contained these editorial re
marks :
“The editor has found it impossible
to go out to hunt for news Rems,because
the mayor, and the editor of the Times,
and the postmaster.and Alexander Jones,
And a number of other individu Is whose
names we have not been able to learn,
have been sitting on the curbstone and
roosting around on the back fence all
the morning with shot guns and other
murderous weapons, and looking as if
they were in earnest. We give notice
here that we have moved the fire-proof
safe against the door of our sanctum,
and have lined the stairs with spring
guns, cross-eyed Irishmen, and insane
bull-terriers who have not been fed for
a week. The privileges of a free press
shall not be interfered with while we
wield a pen or possess a bull dog.”
The Milky Way, hovvaflrei, died next
day, Mr. G umba having slid down the
waterspout and t#ken the early train for
Kansas. These Outrages against edi
tors will have to be stopped, or William
Penn will have died for his country in
vain. —PliiladeJphia Dispatch.

Remarkable Masonic Incident.
The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in California, took place in the
year 1810, and was performed over the
body of a brother found in the Day of
San Francisco. An account of the cer
emonies states that on the body of the
deceased was found a silver mark of a
Mason, upon which was engraved the
initials of his name. A little further
investigation revealed to the beholder
the most singular exhibition of Masonic
emblems that was ever drawn by the inge
nuity of man upon the human skin.—
There is nothing in the history or tradi
tions of Free Masonry equal to it.—
Beautifully dotted on his left arm, in
red and blue ink, which time could not
efface, appeared all the emblems of the
apprenticeship. There were the Holy
Bible, the square and compass, the twen
ty-four inch gauge and common gavel.
There was also the Masonic pavement,
representing the ground floor of King
Solomon's Temple, the indented tessel
which surrounds it, and the blazing star
in the center. On his right arm, and
artistically executed in the same indeli
ble liquid, were the emblems pertaining
to the fellow craft degree, viz : the
square, the level and the plumb. There
were also five orders of Architecture —
Tuscan, Doric, lonic, Corinthian, the
Composite.
In moving the garments from his body
the trowel presented itself with all the
other tools of operative masonry. Over
his heart was the pot of incense. On
the other parts of his body were the bee
hive, the “ Book of Constitutions,”
guarded by the Tyler’s sword, pointing
to a naked heart; the All-seeing eye ;
the anchor and ark ; the hour glass; the
scythe j the second problem of Euclid;
the sun, moon, stars and comet; the
three steps emblematic of youth, man
hood and age. Admirably executed
was the weeping Virgin, reclining upon
a broken column upon which lay the
“Book of Constitutions.” In her left
hand she held the pot of incense, the
Masonic emblem of immortality of the
soul. Immediately beneath her stood
winged Time, with his scythe by his side,
which cuts the thread of life, and the
hour glass at his feet, which is ever re
minding us that our lives are withering
away. The withered .and attenuated
fingers of the destroyer were placed
among the long and gracefully flowing
ringlets of the disconsolate mourner. —
Thus were the striking emblems of mor
tality beautifully blended in one picto
rial representation. It was a spectacle
such as Masons never saw before, and
in all probability, such as the fraternity
will never witness again. The brother’s
name was never known. Colorado

CALHOUN, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1871.
Sut Luvcugood at a Candy Pulling.
I had a heap of trouble last Christ
mas, and 1 11 tell you bow it happened.
Dekin Jones gave a candy-pullin’ and
I got a stool, as they say in North Car
olina, and over I goes.
Sister Poll and I went together, and
when we got to Jones’ the house was
chuck full. Dog my cats if there was
room to turn around.
There was Suze Harkin—she’s as big
as a skinned horse—and six other Har
kins and Simmonses, and Peddigrews,
and the Schoolmaster and his gal, be
side the old dekin and the dekiness, and
enough little dekins to set up half a
dozen young folks in family bizness.
Well, bimeby the pot began to bile,
and the fun begun. We all got our
plates ready, and put flour on our hands
to keep the candy from slickin', and
then we pitched into pullin’.
Wasn’t it fun ? I never saw sich laf
fin and cuttin’ up in all my born daze.
I made a candy bird for Em Simmons.
Her and me expect to trot in double
harness some of these daze. She lbade
a candy goose for me.
ihen wo got to throwin’ candy balls
>into one another’s hair, and a runnin’
from one side of the house to tuther,
and out into the kitchen, till everything
upon the place was gummed over with
candy.
I got a pine bench, and Em Simmons
sot close to me.
Suze Harkin—confound her pictur—
throwed a candy ball stock into one of
my ize.
I made a bulge to run after her and
heard sumthin rip.
My stars alive ! Wasn’t I pickled ?
I looked around, and thar was the gable
end of my bran new britches a stickin’
to the pine bench.
I backed up agin the wall sorter craw r
fish-like and grinned.
“ Sut,” said sister Poll, “ what’s the
matter ?”
“ Shut up !” sez I.
“ Sut.” says Em, “ como away from
that wall; you’ll get all over grease.”
“ Let her grease !” sez I, and sot down
on a washboard that was lying across
a tub. feeliu’ worse than an old maid at
a weddin’.
Purty soon I felt somethin’ hurt, and
purty soon it hurt agin.
* Ice! whis ! I jumpted ten feet hi,
kicked over the tub, out flew old Jones’
Christmas turkeys, and you ought to
seen me git.
1 cut for tall timber now, jumped
etakod and ridered fences, and smashed
brush like a runaway hariken till I got
home, anil went to bed and staid there
two daze.
Es old Jones’ barn burns down next
winter, and I’m arrested for it, and if
ennybody peers as a witness agin me,
I’ll bust his doggoned head ! Them’s my
sentiments.
Our Public Men,
Jefferson died comparatively poor;
indeed, if Congress had not purchased
his librar} 7 , and given for it five times
its value, he would with difficulty have
kept the wolf from the door.
Madison saved money, and was com
paratively rich. To add to his fortune,
however, or rather that of his widow,
Congress purchased his manuscript pa
pers and paid $39,000 for them.
James Monroe, the sixth President
of the United States, died in New York
so poor that his remains found a resting
place through the charity of friends.
John Quincy Adams left some $150,-
000, the result of industry, prudence
and inheritance. He was a man of
method and economy.
Martin Vaji Buren died very rich.—
Throughout his political life he looked
out for his interest It is not believed
that he ever spent thirty shillings in
politics. Ilis party shook the bush and
he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered a million
in his life, the product of his professional
and political speculations. He died
leaving property to his children and his
debts to his friends. The former sold
for less than $20,000, the latter exceed
ing $250,000.
Henry Clay left a handsome estate.—
It piobably exceeded SIOO,OOO. He
was a prudent manager and scrupulous
ly honest man in all of his transactions.
James K. Polk left about $150,000 ;
$50,000 of which he saved from his
Presidency of four years.
John Tyler left $50,000. Before he
reached the Presidency he was a bank
rupt In office he husbanded his means
and then married a rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left $150,000.
Millard Fillmore is a wealthy man,
and keeps his money in a strong box.
It will not be swallowed up in specula
tion nor squandered in vice.
Ex-President Pierce saved some $40,-
000 from his term of office.
And at the end of Grant’s Presiden
tial career, it can be said he went in a
pauper and come out a millionaire.
Live it Down. —An honest black
smith was once grossly insulted, and his
character infamously defamed. Friends
advised him to seek redress by means
of the law, but to pne.and all he replied :
“ No; I will go to my forge, and there
in six months I shall have worked out
such a character ami earned such as all
the judges, law courts and lawyers in
the world could never give me. He
was right. It is by honest labor, in
dustrious toil, manly toil, and conscience
void of offense that we assert our true
dignity, and prove our truth, honesty
and respectability.
Guizot is writing a book on the utoral
condition of France. It will not be a
very large volume.
Wh'Vt TvUo Hours a Week Will Do
There was a young girl in one of our
manufacturing towns who was very poor,
and found difficulty in earning her liv
ing by needle work. Still, she longed
to give something to him who bad given
so much for her. After carefully think
ing over all the means in her power, the
thought that by careful management,
she might put aside two hours in every
week for His special work, and at once
began the new plan. She knew of num
bers of ragged, half-starved children,
who were prevented from coming to
school by their want of clothes, and she
would try if some of them could not be
made tidy and fit to appear, if she took
them in hand. So, after getting a little
help, in the way of cast-off clothing,
from one and another friend, she cut,
and patched, and contrived, and some
neat little frocks and jackets soon ap
peared, as the result of her two spare
hours.
By and by some young friend, pool*
like herself, offered to join her, and, as
their numbers grew, they were offered
the use of the school-room. Now, ev
ery Thursday evening, a happy company
of these workers for Jesus may be seen
busy with their needles, may often be
heard singing at their work, and will all
be found to agree that the weekly two
hours have proved a source of happiness
—a treasure trove f-om which they
would not part for anything. On Sun
days, if you could see the large classes
which gather round them little once
ragged children, who, but for them,
would never have entered a place where
they might be told about the love
of Christ, you would find that their
work had not been in vain.
- A Touching Appeal. —The first
Confederate soldier killed in the war
between the States was Henry \V yatt,
of North Carolina, who fell at Bethel,
and is buried in Hollywood Cemetery,
at Richmond, Virginia. A brief inscrip
tion on his tombstone, telling the event
ful history, attracts the attention of ev
ery visitor to the cemetery, and on me
morial day no Confederate grave is more
lavishly decorated than that of young
Wyatt. The dead son is remembered
and honored, while the living father is
neglected or forgotten.
John Wyatt, the father of Henry
Wyatt, is now in the poor-house in Pitt
county, North Carolina. The boy, who
would have been the prop of his old age,
shed his blood for us in the first battle
of the war, and it rests with his surviv
ing comrades to save the patriot father
from further humiliation. A trifling
contribution from the Confederate sol
diers will make a venerable old man
comfortable for the rest of his days,
and we sincerely hope that every South
erner who wore the gray with honor,
will send a few pence for the father of
Henry Wyatt, to Captain W. J. McKe
rall, of Marion, South Carolina, who
has kindly volunteered to forward all
these donations to their destination.—
Memphis Appeal , 22i7.
The Boston Post says this is what
occurred at breakfast after Gen. But
ler’s defeat: “ After a while the Hon.
repast, got up and walked round to
where the General was sitting. ‘ Good
morning, General,’ he said, with a fa
miliar slap on the back ; ‘ allow me to
take your baud, for although I have
been opposed to you throughout the
whole campaign, I am not the man to
maintain antipathies, Shak* hands,
General.' But not so. The General
felt too bad. So he looked about hur
riedly, recognized the gentleman who
was addressing him, and turning his
back point-blank on him. lie held out
his glass to the servant and said, ‘ Here,
waiter fill that up with water.’ It was
a determined rebuff, and shows that the
General will not forget in a hurry those
who have been so bitterly antagonistic
to him.”
It is a popular belief that women eat
nothing. It is, of course, conceded that
they sustain life by the consumption of
some article of nourishment; but eating,
in the whole acceptance of the word, is
supposed to be foreign to female nature.
This fallacy is founded and sustained
by women themselves, who, during the
affected period of their lives, cultivate
small appetites as being of semi-angelie
construction. When the pernicious
nonsense is conscientiously carried out,
the results upon the would-be angels
are squalor,* red noses, certain loss of
vigor, general limpidness, and some other
unpleasant consequences. But, as a
rule; the smallest appetites at the fash
ionable tables ' are exhibited by those
shrewd girls whose natural and healthy
wants have been thoroughly appeased
by secret stuffing. Need we refer our
readers to the historical poem concern
irfg Violante in the pantry gnawing of
a mutton bone, reminding them how
she gnawed it, how she clawed it, when
she found herself alone ? All this is
direct deceit, however, practiced on un
sophisticated old bachelors, who, when
they have made the dainty creatures
theirs, find out by the butcher’s book
an ocular proof, what sturdy trencher
women they have married. Watch a
healthy girl at a supper, during the
intervals of dancing ; she consumes by
installments four times as much as her
partner, and seems, as is the case, none
the worse for it. Our experience tells
us that women cat, in proportion to their
weight, as much as men, and are no
more fairies in this respect than in the
matter of weight.— Appleton's Journal.

Seduction Case.
We find the following in the Atlanta
Constitution of Sunday:
For two days DeKalb Superior Court
has been engaged in the trial Rev. M.
D. A\ ood (Presbyterian) on the charge
of seduction. Eminent counsel are ar
rayed on each side. The State is rep
resented by Solicitor General E P.
Howell and Col. C. Peeples. The de
fendant by Col. G. N. Lester and Hon.
M. A. Candler.
But two witnesses were examined for
the prosecution, a Mrs. Chivers and her
daughter. The defense offered no testi
mony. The young Miss Chivers testi
fied that she.was a wembeUof the church
of which he was pastor, and attended
his school. That she placed great con
fidence in him. In 1807, the first time
she states, that he used improper
language to her, was in a lane. He
praised her beauty and intelligence, and
hugged and kissed her. She cried, but
be accompanied her home and kissed
her at the gate/ The second time lie
came to her house after bed time, and
heard her lesson. Afterwards he plead
a headache and lying upon a bed begged
her to rub his bead. From this time
she dates her ruin. She states that she
frequently went to his house of her own
accord, and that the intimacy was car
ried on from 18G7 to 1870 or 1871.
She avers that he told her that his wife
was so only in name ; that he could con
fide in her; that she couldn’t live long;
that he and Miss Chivers were conge
nial, and that on the death of his wife
he would marry her; that he loved her
better than any other woman. She is
an intelligent witness and admitted that
she knew she was doing wrong, but said
that she loved him. Solicitor General
Howell and Col. Peeples spoke in behalf
of the State, and lion. M. A. Candler
and Col. Lester for the defense. The
speeches were able and impressive. We
noticed a number of divines present
The court house was thronged. The
case has excited a deep interest from the
high character sustained by Mr. Wood
for purity. The jury after an absence
of one hour, returned a verdict of guilty.
Notice was given of a motion that a new
trial was refused and Mr. Wood was
sentenced to the penitentiary for tw-enty
years.
A Grave Charge.
At a meecting of the citizens of Mont
gomery, held on Thursday, to do honor
to the memory of the murdered Clanton,
Col. Joseph Hodgson, formerly editor
of the Mail and now State Superintend
ent of Education, made a most eloquent
address, from which the following is an
extract:
His very magnanimity of character
was his death. He w-as willing in his
magnanimity to treat one who proved
an assassin as a man of honor. He met
his death like the peerless hero he was.
Gen. Clanton died in the cause of the
State of Alabama. His life had been
threatened again and again by the
friends of the corporation against which
he had been employed by the State.
He was advised not to go to East Ten
nessee. Ilis friends pleaded with him
to avoid personal collisions. He had
but one answer and that was the State
had employed him to guard her inter
ests, and no intimidation could move
him from his purpose to go wherever the
interests of the State demanded his
presence.
He was assassinated in cold blood. —
All the ciroumstances of the tragedy
point to a conspiracy of his death. The
agent of the hostile corporation intro
duces a notorious desperado. A quarrel
is instantly sprung by the assassin. A
gun is in convenient reach. A horse
is ready. The deed is done, and the
fall of Gen. James II Clanton under
the weapons of the assassin the State of
Alabama fell.
The charge contained in this extract
is of a grave nature, and one which we
cannot but believe will be proved with
out foundation. -Such an assassination
is something too horrible even tor con
templation." It would justify, if any
thing ever does, the bloodiest retribu
tion on every participant that vengeauce
could devise. We hope the whole truth
of this murder may be dragged to light,
and if Col. Hodgson is right, that the
assassin and his accomplices may atone
for their infamy at the gallows within
thirty days. — Macon Telegraph and
Mess(njer.
A Rich Little Girl. —Little Nelly
L. had lost her father, and her mother
was poor. Her sweet temper and her
winning ways gained her many friends.
Among them was an excellent lady,
M iss N. A glimpse of Nelly’s bright
face peeping in at the door always
brought a 'smile of peculiar tenderness
over 31 iss N.’s placid features. She
loved to sit by the child, softly stroking
her hair, and while looking thoughtfully
into her smiling eyes, would often say,
“ Poor Nelly 1” When Nelly shook her
head, with a heart too happy to fore
bode evil, her friend would caress her
still more fondly, and then say, “ Poor
little Nelly!”
The child’s heart seemed troubled by
these pitying words, for she asked one
day, “ Whv do you call me poor —Please
don’t 31 iss N. I am not poor —why, I've
got twenty-live cents and a good mother ‘
u Rich little Nelly,” said her friend. —
“ A good mother ? Ah 1 how long I
was learning what this little one already
knows!”
“ A good mother ” —could any earthly
treasure have made her so truly rich ?
A parliamentary speaker lately re
marked that innocence is like an um
brella ; when once we have lost it we
may never see it agaiu.
How to Ih» Polito.
]>o not try too hard to be polite.
Never overwhelm your friends bv
begging them to make themselves at
home, or they will soon wish they were
there. Show by your actions rather
than your words that you are glad to see
them.
Have enough regard for yourself to
treatyour greatest enemy with quiet po
liteness. All petty slights are merely
meanness and hurt yourself more than
any one else.
]>o not talk about yourself or your
family to the exclusion of other topics.
What if vou are clever and a little more
so than other people, it may- not be that
other folks will think so, whatever they
ought to do.
It may be interesting to you to talk
over your ailments, but very tiresome
fur others to listen to them.
Make people think you consider them
clever and agreeable and they will be
pretty apt to have a pleasant impression
of yourself.
Treat people just as you would like to
have them treat you.
It is much easier to lose a good opin
ion of people than to regain it; and
when any one does not care for the good
opinion of others, he or she is not wor
thy of good respect.
Do not excuse your house, furniture,
or the table you set before your guests.
It is fair to suppose their visits are to
you, not your surroundings. The whole
machinery of social intercourse is very'
delicate and intricate, and it is oui bus
ness to keep all places of possible fric
tion well supplied with the oil of polite
ness.
The Course of True Love.—A
Eureka, California, paper relates a re
markable tale of love and constancy. —
A young man in the East wished to
marry the daughter of a prosperous
merchant, but had no money with which
to back bis suit He was, therefore,
declined as a son-in-law, and so he went
to the Pacific coast to seek his fortune.
He sought gold everywhere, but found
little; and at last, after several years of
labor and hardship, determined to le
flirn to his old home. 11c engaged his
passage from San Francisco, when he
encountered his early love, now nearly
middle age, who, with her brother, had
gone in quest of her old lover. Her pa
rents and all her near relations had died,
save her companion. She w r as wealthy,
and only too happy to give her fortune,
with her hand and heart, to the man
who had struggled valiantly and failed
to earn the meed of toil. The twain
were wedded, and returned to the East
with the dream of love as bright and
fresh to them as it had been years be
fore.
If an editor omits anything, he is
lazy. If he speaks of things as they
•are, people are mad. If he glosses over
—smoothes down the rough points —he
is bribed. If he calls things by their
proper names, he is unlit for position of
an editor. If he does not furnish his
readers with jokes, he is a mullet. *lf
he does, he is a rattlehead. If he con
demns the wrong, he is a good fellow;
but lacks discretion. If he lets wrong
and injuries go unmentioned, he is a
