RADICAL JUsTICE.-In late case
before negro Justice of the Peace in
Florida, the plaintiff and defendant were
fined one dollar each, and the constable
made to pay the costs of the court. The
j. P. thought he had conducted the
| case splendidly; did not wish to discrim-
mate, but would ;make all share alike.
How to bother a carpct-bagger-
Ask him for the name of the sheriff or
jailor of the County he migrated from.
DECLINE IN NATURAL INCREASE
Mr.. Allen, of Norridewock, Me-, says
the cause of the falling off in school in
returns in that State during the last two
years is not on account of carelessness
or mistakes in the return of the number
of children, but that the children are
becoming less in number yearly, except
in manufacturing towns or where there
is an influx of foreign population. For
ty years ago, ten children were COM
mon number in family now the average
is but four.
Larry Cook, printer, died at the
County poor house, at Decatur ILL.,, last

iu the Florida war, under General Tay-
lor; in the Mexican; war, under General
Scott, and was avolunteer in the Union
army during the late war.
Among the valuable patents which
have recently expired, and which the
Government has refused to renew is

FRIENDSHIP.


BY ALFRED TENNYsON.
Dear friend, far off, my lost desire,
So far, so near in woe and veal
O, loved the most when most l feel
There is lower and higher;
Known and unknown, human, divine D.!
Sweet human hands and lips and eye,
Dear heavenly friend that canst not
.. die,
Mine, mine, forever, mine!
Strange friend, past, present, and to be
Loved deeplier, darklier understood
Behold I dream a dream of good,
And mipgle all the world with thee.
Thy voice is on the rolling air;
Il hear thee where the waters run;
Thou standest in the rising sun,
And IN the setting thou art 1alr.
What art thou then I cannot guess;
But though I seem in star and flower
To feel thee, some diffusive power,
! do not, therefore, love thee less:
Ny love involves the love before;
My love is vaster passion now;
Tho mixed with God and nature thor
Iseem to love thee more and more.
Far of thou art, but ever nigh;
II have thee still, and I rejoice:
i prosper, circled with thy voice;
I shall not lose thee though 1 die.

The old cotton stalks were then plow-
ed up with long shovel. This conf
pleted the preparation. The cotton
planting was commenced May 7th, and
finished May 10th.
Until May Goth, the weather was
excessively wet; May goth, light rain;
June Goth, light rain; July 29th to
August 4th, showery-suficient to
make one good rain; August 29th hea-

Seven sweep furrows and one good

have eaten off the foliage and young
bolls, but Notwithstanding the injury
by drought, and the ravages of the
worms, the yield is fully from one to
two bales per acre-the best portion

mould.
This description, Messrs. Editors,
with but few changes, will apply to Mr.
Dickson's entire cotton crop. Some

to sand, and his surface is exceedingly

same marvellous success. Failure is q

not seem to be half as much interested
in looking at fine field of corn, as he
does at dense and heavy growth Of

To the skeptic it is only necessary tc
pay flying visit to Mr.. Dickson's

hospitality, see the evidence Of bis Won

A Great Curiosity.

The editor of the Griffin Star
after paying visit to Upson coun
ty, gives the following account of
agreat natural curiosity Of Georgia
The first grand point of interest
was the famous laundering
Springs, located in the northern
part of the county, about twelve
miles from Thomaston. We ex-
pected to find quite curiosity, but
were completely amazed to find SO
remarkable a freak of mother ma
ture as this spring. 1t is located
In the widest part of the mount
aims extending through the coun-
ty, and there in the solitude of
the wilderness presents a most re-
markable phenomenon. The di-
mensions of the spring proper are
about five feet in diameter, and of
an unknown depth, for expert
menters have sounded its depth in
vain, and no depth can be reached.
The water boils up with great
force; bubbles of gas constantly
rise up through the water, and ex-
plode at the surface. This gas is
highly combustible, and is fire.
quently set on fire as it makes its
escape. Such is the force with
which the water rises that hui
man body cannot sink, but is
buoyed up in standing position.
1t is famous bathing place, anG
we>took the first opportunity to
plunge into this bottomless well.
There we could stand upright for
hours, with nothing to support us
but water. The earth around the
spring is beautiful white sand,
of very fine grain, giving away
readily at the touch of the foot,
bus immediately reforming as be-
fore. The walls of the we'll are
perfectly symmetrical, as if dug
by the hands of man. AS low
down as we could reach with our
foot, we could kick a hole in the
wall, and as soon as the foot was
removed the wall would immedi-
ately reform as before. The tenn
perature is delightful, and the wa
ters are invaluable, especially for
diseases Of the skin and blood
The spring constantly makes a low,
rumbling noise, from which it de-
rives its name.

Bishop Simpsons Version
Of the Lords Prayer.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Aollored be Thy name. Thy king
dom come. Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven, subject
to the decision of the Radical party.
Give US this day our daily bread,
and aChdteUer ace can take from The
rebels. Forgive US our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass
against us, a7,oays erceptiag A,a-
dre,o johnson and the arhite anhabi-
taaats of tie Southern States. Lead
us not into temptation of being q
Copperhead, but deliver us from
the evil of Conservative rule. And
ours shall be the kingdom, and
the power and the glory forever
and ever. Amen.
And while we are upon the sub
ject of the Bishops creed, we will
subjoin some convenient alterations
which his practice and that Of
his fellow-citizens North have
made in the commandments:
Thou shalt kill rebels. Thou
shalt steal from reJels. Thou shah
beartalse witness against thy SoutA-
ermneighbors. Thou shahcovet thy
Southern neighbor's house. Thou
shall covet his wife and his man
servant, and his maid servant, and
his OK, and bis ass, and anything
that is thy Southerm neighbours.
We respect the office of a Bish.
op. and the Bishop, when he COM
plies with his duties. But he
must "not be given to filthy lu-
ere; not a brawler; not covetous."
But this Simpson, this political
brawler, this covetous. Bishop, who
would rob his impoverished breth-
rem Of the South, even of their
place Of worship-this presider
over convocation of devils chap
lains-this wolf in sleeps clothing
who leads a hungry pack similar
ly disgusted, against the sheep
folds of the South-what shall
we say of him? "Only this and
nothing more" Believing that
he will have to appear at bar

will be stripped from him-whils

Colfax and Foreigners.

In 1054-5, when Know-Noth
ingism sought the disfranchise
ment and prescription of every
foreigner and Roman Catholic il
the country on account of hi
birthplace and religion, Mr.. Schuy.
ler Colfax was bright and shin.
ing light in the organization. The
Indianapolis Sentinel states that
there was no fercer or more pros,
criptive Know-Nothing in the land.
Could he have had his way, not a
foreigneror Roman Catholic would
today be allowed to hold Office or
even vote. In order to show our
foreign-born citizens what manner
of man he is, we give the oath
which he took when initiated into
the Know-Nothing Lodge, as fol-
lows:
''FIRsr DEGREE.-In the pres
ence of Almighty God and these
witnesses you do solemnly prom
ise and swear that $ = you
will not vote, nor give your infu-
ence, for any man, for any Office
in the gift of the people, unless he
be an American born citizen, IN
favor of Americans ruling Ameri-
ca, nor if he be a Roman Catholic"
"SECoND 'DEGREE.-In the pres
ence OF Almighty God and these
witnesses you do solemnly and
sincerely swear s. + = if it
may be legally done, you will,
when elected or appointed to any
official station conterring on you
power to do SO, remove all foreign
ers, aliens or Roman Catholics
from office or place, and that you
will in no case appoint such to any
office or place in your gift"
Now, when against his utmost
efforts, the Know-Nothing organi-
cation has Deen utterly defeated
and sweptfrom existence, the Rad
icals expect these same foreigners
and their descendants to vote to
make Mr.. Schuyler Colfax, Vice
President. Can they forget and
forgive the vindictive prescription
with which he pursued them?

ABYssINIAN WoMEN.-A CORES.
pondent accompanying the Eng.
lish troops in Abyssinia, speaks as
follows of the impression created
on the natives by the presence of
the troops:
Day after day chiefs come from
far distance to visit the white
faces, many Of whom never saw a
white man before. Women shrek
with delight On beholding such
lovely forms clad in such strange
yet rich costumes. Young girls
are curious to feel the white skin
of the Feringhees, and continue
to come unperceived near soldier
and silly touch him. Naked ur-
chins press forward timidly, and
gaze with serious little faces at
the strange forms of the invaders.
Long boards and smooth faces are
the delight of the women, who
clap their hands with glee when
they catch a glimpse Of those
men most favored by the gods.

A GENTLE HINT.-The New
York Commercial reminds the
Radicals that when Gen. McClel-
Ian became a candidate for the
Presidency, he resigned his com
mission in the United States army,
and adds:
"Of course Gen. Grant will do
the same. He is delicate minded,
honorable, conscientious. He nev-
er could consent to be acting as
General of the army whilst run
ming for the Presidency. Ofcourse
not. Certainly not. Several
times not. When will he resign?"

An English engineer now in
New York, writes to the London
Engineer as follows: "The cast
iron here astonishes me. / saw in

naval gun which had been hit by a
Southern shot about four feet from
the muzzle, and the shot had left
It's mark, impressing the rifle quite
clearly. There is not crack up
on the surface of the gun, but the
dint was driven right through the
thickness of the gun, and repro
duced in the chase, so that close
ly-ftting shot could not be fred

who died before their intended
marriage could be consummated,
He then married the mother OF
the deceased, who was some ~
wears his senior, but with whom
he lived quite happily until she
was so. and he 60 years OF age
AS the wife had by this time be,
come quite decrepit, they adopted
a maid of some 80 summers, who
had lived with them year and a
half, when the old lady died. Be
fore the time appointed for the
funeral the man himself was ta-
ken sick, on which account the
funeral services were postponed
four weeks. But in less than two
weeks he sent for justice OF the
peace. and was married to the
maid he had adopted. : The next
day the couple applied to the
town for support, and a week H.
