nouncing that on the 7th of December he addressed
a communication to Congress, setting forth that
the recoustruction acts had not boen fully execu-
ted in Georgia. He then proceeds to state TINT
the remarkable action of the Legislature at its last
session had caused q careful examination of the
law and the manner of its execution, to ascertain
how it was possible such extraordinary results
could occur.
He argues that strict adherence TO the letter Of
the reconstruction acts would have prevented the
overthrow of them, which has been accomplished
in Georgia. The Governor recommends that the
Lcpslniure take the initiatve by excluding the
ineligible members restoring negroes TO their seats

pD- A paragraph is going the rounds Of the
press, which states that In Savannah nearly four
hundred thousand dollars worth of cotton was
sold in single day; and in Macon, one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars worth. Now, we
will not pretend to place Anderson IN position to
touch these sales with 'forty foot pole" but think
it worth while to mention that one day last week
nearly twelve thousand dollars worth of cotton
was sold in this market. This will DO very we'll

mountains. .,-.-.

The Miller was the happiest man in the
whole kingdom. He danced with Joy,
He reused his good wife and his troop
of children and told them of his good
fortune. He never made any more COM
plants if things at the mill went awry.
He carried another face on bis shoulders.
He worked cheerfuly. He sang the
merricst songs; and he was altogether
the busiest and happiest man for miles
around. He threw off his old habits,
and became a new Miller. Of course
he thriyedl Many time he thought
that lie would Ike to take peep in the
chest, but be was an honest Miller, and
he would have lost his right hand sooner
than disobey the good fairy.
Ten years came and went, and found
the mill still driving, and the miller a
portly man of wealth and Importance.
On the evening of the tenth a. versa
ry of the fairy's visit, be called his family
around him and opened the chest.
What do you suppose he found in it.
Diamonds? No.
Pearls! No.
Rubies? No.
Gold? No.
You can't guess. I'll tell you. The
chest was empty! But engraved upon
the inside was this golden word-con

/" Historical Pie.o

Some weeks ago we published an arti-
Gle from Hearth and Home, with the
above caption. We hope some Of our
little readers tried to work out the son :
ton of the puzzle, so they can now see
now near they came to a correct rend-
ton. II seems that "SAMuEL" of
Brooklyn brought order out of chaos nd
W Il receive the promised prize. The
following is the pie as Corrected:
SOLUTION.
The greatest man in history is Julius
Caesar; the worst is the wicked Duke of
Ava; tho most ambitious is Napoleon;
and among the best and wisest is George
Washington. Caesar was born at Rome !;
Ferdinand, Duke of Alva. was a Span
lard; Napoleon was q Corsican; out
Washington, as you all know, was an
American.
Among the scientific men who have
most influenced the history of mankind,
we have Calico who invented the pen
dulum; Newton who discovered the law
Of gravitatiou; james Watt who perfect
ed the steam-engine; and Gutenberg The
inventor of printing. Of navigators.
Christopher Columbus and Captain CooB
are the most generally known; and the
animals which, so far, have been most
useful to man in enabling him to act on:
his career are the horse, the OK, the COW,
the ass, the dog, the elephant, and the
dromedarY.

THE LIE 1t is not calumny nor
treachery that does the largest amount Of
mischief in the world; they are continual
" crushed, and are only felt in being
conquered. But it is the glistening and
softly spoken lie, the amiable fallacy, the
patriotic lie of the historian, the proyi-
dent lie of the politician, the Jealous lie
of the partisan, the merciful lie of the
friend, aud the careless lie of each man
himself, that casts that black mystery
over humanity, through which any man
who pierces we thank as we would thank
one who dug a well in the desert, happy
in that the thirst for truth still remains
with us, even when we have willfuly left
the fountains of it.-Ruskin.

CARE OF THE HAIR.-A writer writes
thus on the care of the hair: " Putting
up the hair Of children in curling papers,
breaks it and checks its growth; often
pulls it out at the roots. Curling irons
are fatal to the hair Of both children and
grown persons. The heat saps up the
juice out of the fibers as efectually rs
fire or frost saps the vitality Of green
branch, leaving it but = dry, withered
skeleton. The practice which hair dress
ers have of frizzing out the hair with a
comb, to make the most Of il, is one Of
the most cruel injuries that can be infiict-
ed on the living hair. The comb cuts it
in the act of frizzing it. You can test
the truth of this by combing out the hair
after It has been so dressed. The hair
sometimes comes out by handfuIs; and
further, this process tangles up the hair,
and a great deal of it is broken and pull
ed out in trying to comb it straight
again."

DREAMS AND DELIRIUM:-The OBJ
servant physician occasionally remarks
with surprise during deirum an indvid
ua, whose correctness of conduct and
conversation leave nothing to be desired,
will give utterance to words and senti
ments which fiji the hystander with hor-
ror and that he will sometimes commit
actions wholly repugnant to propriety
Scenes like this often induce those who
are privy TO them to imagine that many

flimsy disguise "a sort of whited sep
ulchre full of all ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the

there among US who in dreams is not
