THE CHICKENS MISTAKE.
BIZ PHOEBE CARY.

A little downy chicken one day
Asked leave to go on the water.
Where she saw duck with her brood At play,
Swimming and splashing about her.
Indeed, che began to peep and cry,
When her mother wouldn't let her:
I" If the ducks can swim there, why can't L;
Are they any bigger or betterI"
Then the old hen answered: Listen to me,
And hush your foulish talking:
just look at your feet, and you will see
They We're only made for walking"
But chickey wistfully eyed the brook,
And didn't half believe her:
For she seemed to say by knowing look,
Such stories couldn't deceive her." y,
And as her mother was scratching the ground,
She muttered lower and low er:
7" know can 60 there and not be drowned,
And so I think I'll show her."
She made plunge where the stream was deep,
And saw too late her blunder; ...
For she had hardly time to peep
Till her foolish head went under. l.i
And now hope her fate will show
The child my story reading,
That those who are older sometimes know
What you will do well in needing.
That each, content in his place should dwell,
And envy not his brother,
. And any part that is acted well
Is just as goot IS another. ....... ......
For We all have our proper sphere below, q
And this is a truth worth knowing:
You will come to grief If you try to 70
Where you never were made for going.

Garibaldi, who is again figuring so con-
spicuously in European affairs, is now over
60, having been born in Nice, July 4, 1906.
For more than 30 years he has been en-
gagged in revolutionary enterprises, and in
fighting by sea and land, being sort Of
amphibious warrior, the son Of MARI
ner, and himself educated to that profess
sion, but is equally skillful and experienc.
ed in the leadership of volunteer armies.
His life has been one OF great and varied
adventure in almost all parts of the world
at one time in Turkey, at another in
South America, and again in Italy. At
one period he was in the service of Aru-
quay, fighting valiantly for the republic,
chiefly at sea, though sometimes on land.
Afterwards we find him teaching mathe-
matics in Montevideo. Again, in lS4S,
he went from South America with por-
tion of the Italian legion to Piedmont,
where he rendered gallant, though una
vailing services against the Austrians. In
lS49, when the French expedition to re-
store the Pope appeared before Rome, he
greatly distinguished himself by his hero.
ism and partial success. Having been
banished from Sardinia, he came to New
York in 1850. and he supported himself
by making candles in manufactory on
Staten Island. Afterwards he resumed
his avocation as a mariner, and made
some voyages in the Pacific. He after
wards returned to Nice, and lived there in
retrem ent until tie war with Austria, in
1859, when the Sardinian government in
vited him to form corps, which became
celebrated as the . Hunters Of the Alps"
and his services throughout the war were
most important.
The late events in Italy indicate that tho
daring adventurer has strong hold on
| the imaginations of the people, who,
whether they approve his projects or not,
| always admire man who will fight for
his ideas, and who does not, like some
| other plotters Of revolution, content HIM
self with fomenting disturbances, the
brunt Of which is to be borne by other
men. The generous qualities of Garibal-
di, combined with his daring courage and
romantic career, have gained admiration
for the individual among many who have
no sympathy with his cause. At the same
time he often neutralizes the influence of
his personal popularity by rash and indis-
| Greet enterprises Sun.

B. h. Hull, the leader of the anti-re-
construction movement in Georgia, has
written a long letter to the New York
Times, in which he asserts that he and the
Conservatives whom he represents, yielded
a willing obedience to every condition of
settlement proposed by Congress and the
President until the last plan of the former
The objections to this plan are, the indis-
criminate Acknowledgement of the blacks,
the Acknowledgement of part of the
whites for reasons that would apply with
equal validity to ninety-nine out of hum
dred of them, and the forced submission 10

serts that the best friends of the Union, of
the negro and of good government, will
become the victims of the military bills.
Mr. Hill sustains his positions by very
strong arguments.

POPE's PERSECUTION OF THE
PREss-wHAT THE PRESIDENT
THINKS M UT

The order Of Gen Pope fOrbidding the
publication of legal advertisements in
the Conservative press Of Georgia is
well known, 1t now appears that the
people are not disposed to submit to it,
A few days ago, the following scene
occurred in the Superior Court of Troup
county, as given by the LaGrangs
Reporter
The sheriff of this county. in obedience
10 that order, had sent his official adver-
tisements to the Near Era, Radical paper
published in Atlanta. The defendants in
the different cases filed afiidayits of ille-
gality TO the proceeding, and as a result,
Judge Collier had a multitude of such
cases before him. One of the cases having
been called, and its character ascertained,
there seemed to be a disposition with some
TO postpone the trial Of the question for
the present.
Judge Bigham said every lawyer at the
bar was clear in his opinion that such
advertisements were illegal, and all sales
under them would be void, and he believed
almost every member of the bar had filed,
OF advised their clients 10 file, such afida-
Wits Of illegality; and 10 this broad state
ment there seemed to be an assent from all
the attorneys, and no intimation of dissent
from the Judge.
Mr.. Hill said, 81 do not represent the case
before the court, and have not fled any of
the afiidavits alluded to. But | concur in
the opinion that all these advertisements
are illegal, and the sales under them are
void, except, only, when the defendants
consent to the proceeding. ! believe every
respectable Judge and attorney in the State
will hold them illegal, and this order No.
49 can do nothing bat work mischief,
engeuder bitterness and breed litigation
| for wears TO come. In view of these uni
versal convictions deem il my duty TO
state that, while in Washington recently, /
called the attention Of the President TO
this order, and To the very effect which we
now see before Us.
"The President seemed TO be astonished
| that the order was being so acted on, and
said he had received a memorial from
Georgia on the subject Of this order and
called on General Pope for an explanation
about it, and that Gen. Pope had made a
report, saying, the order was not intended
to have such construction, and Was not
intended to interfere with the advertise
ments of civil and county officers whose
advertisements we're regulated by law. |
expressed much surprise at this, and said
the report ought to be made public, for it
certainly was receiving this construction
in Georgia, and thought Gen. Pope knew
il, and had certainly not corrected it, as
lar as / had heard. The President sought
to find the report of Gen. Pope, saying he
wanted me TO see il, but could not find IL
at that time, bat reported that such was
the report Of Gen. Pope as to the condi-
ton Of the order deem il proper 70
