THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, AUG. 81, 1855.

PoLITIcAL ToLERAscE Our anti.Ameriear
opponents certainly let us an example of
plenary indulgence, in the liberality with
which they embrace in their organization,
Nuiifiers, Disunonists, Abolitiouists, Free
Soilers, and all other varieties of opinion that
agree to abide by the nominee and support
the succession. Mr.. Andrews, of Georgia, in
accepting the American nomination for Gov
etnor, thus comments upon this extreme
liberality:
The Democratic party still cherish in their
ranks the Van Bureus, Kings, and iorty-threc
members of Congress who voted against the
Nebraska. Kansas bill; and, through their
President, (who too often gives his platforms
to the South and his acts TO the North,) have
put under the ban, Dickinson, Bronson, and
others of the Hardshell Democracy, the most
uncompromising and reliable friends til,
South ever had beyond the Potomac-prov.
ing "false alike to The friends who served, at
well as the foes who would have spared
them"

LET IT De REMEMBEREp.-That the men,
bers of the American Party claim to be bet
ter friends of the truly Republican foreigner
and Catholic thnn the so.calrd Democrats.
The Americans wish 10 preserve our repnb-
lican institutions so MS to transmit them un.
impaired and unabridged to the children alike
of natives and foreigners, while their oppo-
ncnts are willing to leave their presentations
to chance--unprotected from the great tide
of anti.rcpublicanism which now beats upon
our Atlantic shore and throws its tumultuous
waves even beyond the mighty Mississippi.
What is the elective franchise to the inteli-
gent and republican foreigner, if its indscrm-
mate exorsises by all those who now come to
us from the Old World is to finally lead to n
union of Church and State and to the de-
struction of our free institutions-thus re-
mandinr our children and the children of for.
eigners to the state Of oppression under
which the millions of the Old World have so
long groaned! And let it be always rcmem-
bered that the Americans do not propose to
aLridge or in any way to interfere with the
rights of foreign born citizens already acqui-
red. If the American party succeed in all
IFS aims, no foreigner who has already been
naturalized, will lose his right to vote or any
other riuht- Nash. Gdz.

TO YoUNG MEN.-Some old genius gives
the following elegant advice to young men
who "dcpend on father" for their support, and
take no interest whatever in business, but are
regular drones in the hive, subsisting on that
which is earned by others.
Come, OF with your coat, clinch the saw,
the plow handles the axe, the pic-axe, the
spadc-any thing that will enable you to
stir your blood! Fly round and tear your
jacket, rather than be the passive recipient oil
the old geniIman's bounty Sooner than
play the dandy at dads expense hire your.
self out to some potato patch, let yourself
TO stop hog holes, or watch the bars, and
when you think yourself entitled to resting
spell, do it on your own hook. Get up in
the moruiug-turn round at least twice be-
fore breakIast-help the old gentleman
give him now lift in business, learn how
to take the lead, and not depend forever on
being led; and you have no idea how the
discipline will beuetit you. Do this, aud oul
word for il, you will seem to breathe II new
| atmosphere, possess new frame, tread ,
ncw earth; wake to new dpstiny-and you
may then begin 10 aspire to manhood. TAKE
off, then, that ring from your lilly finger
break your cane, hold up your head, and, by
all means, never again eat the bread of idle
ness, nor depend on father.

PRETTY WoMEY.-Some one, we know not
who, has very truly remarked that "a pretty
woman is one of the institutions of this
country--an angel in goods and glory;" for
she makes sunshine, blue sky, Fourth July,
and happiness wherever she goes. Her path
is one OF delicious roses, perfume and beauty.
She is II sweet poem, written in rare curls,
and choice calico, and good principles. Men
stand up before her as SO many admiration
points to melt round the year like music,
birds Of Paradise, or the chimes of Sabbath
bells. Without her, society would lose its
truest attraction, the church its fImest reli-
unce, and young men the very best of com.
forts and company. Her influence and gen.
erosity restrain the vicious, and strengthen
the weak, raise the lowly, and inspire the
weak hearted. Wherever you find pretty
woman, YOU always find pleasant fresides
boquets, clean clothes, order, good living
gentle hearls-musc, light, and model "insti
tutions" generally. She is the flower of hu.
manity, very Venus in dmity, and her inspi
ration is the breath of heaven.

c-Egn Danvers is the most celebrated spot
in Massachusetts for the growth of onions,
and we learn from the Salem Observer that
the onion crop there this year promises to be
abundant. 1t has been estimated that there
are about 800 acres devoted to onion culture
in that town. With the best of care and high
manuring, 500 bushels per acre are frequently
secured, and premiums are occasionally given
for crops at the rate of 600, 700, and even
800 bushels per acre.

N.r A writer on giants says that the exact
height Of Ogg, King of Bnshan, has beon
vNriously computed, some surprising him 70
have been moro than twelve English feet,
while others think his stature did not exeacd
eleven feet. Ia like manner, the giant Go.
liah, of Scripture, is generally computed to
have been about nine feet nine inches, but
commentators have supposed he might have
been eleven feet high. Turner, the natural
ist, declares that he saw on the Brazil coast
a race Of gigantic savagcs, one Of whom
measured twelve feet. In description Of
America, by NJ. lhcbc,, published in 1915,
| he asserts that he saw and measured the skel.
| c,on of South American, which was eleven
feet five inches in length. His skull was three
feet one inch in circumference, and tho leg
bones full three feet four inches long

SINGULAR PHRENoMENA.-A lady of Lu-
gano, sitting near window during thuu-
der storm, received y shock which was not
followed by any dangerous consequences;
but u flower, which happened to lie in the
way OF the electric current, was figured upon
her leg, and she preserved the appearance du.
ring the rest of her life. A sailor on board
vessel in the harbor Of Zau;a having been
struck by Lightning, there was found OH his
breas, the number 4 ID being an exact copy
! vi the same figures in metal which were at
tacncd to a Part OF the rigging OF the ship
| In September, 1925, the lightning struck
the bIigantne II. Buno Servo; on the back
of one of the sailors who was killed was the
| figure OF r horseshoe, OF the exact dimcn-
sions of one nailcdto the iUrenast. Ia 1871,
| Il magistrate Of the Department of ludre ct
Loire, and II millers boy, were struck by
lightning, and on the breast of each were
found spots resembling exactly the leaves OF
the poplar. About 1856, two members Of
| the old Academy Of Science used TO mention,
on the authority Of Franklin, the account Of
man, who having seen the lightning fall
upon tree opposite him, exhibited the line
agc Of this tree upon his brest; out this phe-
nomcnon was attributed to .hcm by accident,
or rather to y casual sauguineous sntiusion.
These facts that we have cited prove that
the phenomenon in question has wholly
different signifcantion, and think that it is,
perhaps, ofa Photographic nature.
