PEI .E1sEoRIc AMERICA.

The New York World Of Monday
prints a letter from the removed Able
Brasseur do Bourbourg, of Paris, to
Professor Harper, of Brussels, with an
Introductory letter from Professor IIar-
per, transmitting the letter to the World,
all of which contain the astounding an
nouncements of positive proof discover
ed by the researches of the learned Able
in Mckee and Central America, that the
languages, civilization, arts and sciences
of Egypt, India, and Persia, as well as
of Europe and Africa, proceed entirely
and without exception, from America,
and owe their inception to prehistoric
races which existed and fourished on
this continent about 10000 years before
our Christian Era. Professor Harper
says tho Able has not only laid the
foundation to all American but to all the
history Of this world, and perfectly up
sets all the labors and profound studies of
the historians of the Eastern continent
of all times by imeiufabIy showing that
history perfectly agrees with an old te-
net of geology, and that not the Eastern
but the Western continent Of our globe,
or America, is horeal old world, from
which all population and civilization
proceeded.
The indefatigable American historian
is now engaged to write his principal
work, translation of the Codex Chin
alpopoca discovered by him and con
tanning annals commencing as early as
10000 years before our Christian era
which will astonish the world.
The Abbe's studies of the monumen.
tai antiquities Of Mexico and Central
America commenced in those countries
in 1S48, and have been steadily pur-
sued ever since. They have resulted
in the production Of series of works
upon the sacred book, records, myths,
symbols, languages, and heiroglyphic8
Of the aboriginccs, combined with the
geological condition Of those countries,
by which he proves them to have been
the cradle Of the human race.

TAKING THE CENSUS.

The commissioners for taking the CEN
sus of 1870 have been at their work for
more than month. Here is some Of
the questions they asked us when they
came around this way:
"Good-morning, to you sir"
''Well, thanks to our devil. What
will you have?"
"Come to take your census"
"We regret, sir, that, like you, our
head don't hold any more sense than we
need. You'll have to go somewhere
else to get your deficiency supplied
"Oh, youmistake me, sir, it is not
senses but the census of the people | am
commissioned to take, such as ages, and
the COWS, hogs, &c., owned"
"Sir, eggs, cows, hogs, &C., is not
in the Journal Office, therefore we have
none for you to take"
''It is not eggs but ages / take l am
one of the United States Census TAX
ers and"
"Pardon us, sir, we now understand.
Have a seat"
He then atonce commenced asking us
as follows:
Where were you born, and when, and
were you present on the occasion of
your birth
What is your exact age,-are you
married person, and if SO how do you
like the institution ?
Are you single man purposely for
getting married, and do you expect to
marry
Are there are any idiots in the family
besides present company?
DO you grow any corn, if so, how
much do you allow to be eat by the rats9
Were you ever elected to the Legis-
lature, if so, what relation do you sustain
to John Hunts monkey 2
Were your father and mother both
white men?
What do you own beside yourself and
what is the cash value of one do!lar9
Can you eat a ham in three days, if so
how long will take you to eat two ham
mcrs?
We omit the other questions.

THEuE is one phase of tho war,
says the New York Herald, that inn
plies more for France than for Prussia.
Evidently thc,navics on either side are
counted for q very active part in the
struggle. France has a strong, emil
nenny effective navy-a better navy
than has ever yet figured in any Euro
pcan war Prussia has good naval
force. but in ibis direction is far over
matched, and her ambition to Become
a great maritime Power Is Hkcly to
meet with some brusque surprises be-
fore many days go by. The corpora
ton Of the French ganboats with the
troops Oh the Rhine and the intention
to blockade and lombard Prussian ports
show the facility with which France
launches all her power, while they viii
also open some new views Of continental
war. Old as the Rhine is in all the
glory of war, innumerable as have been
the bloody encounters waged within
sound of its waters, it is not familiar
with the kind Of lighting most known
on such comparatively unhiatorlc
streams as our own Cumberland and
Tennessee. But it is to have a vision of
that sort of war. Truly the time when
all the old marshals wasted months Of
summer days in the effort to dodge one
another on the Rhine, and when the sue
cess of campaign turned on the point
whether one General could pass the
river in presence of another, or could
fool him and pass it somewhere else, is
very positively gonoi happily gone, too.
for the brov;:y Of war, since liltlc
gunboat now steams into the stream at
the chosen place, adjusts her battery
with the elaboration of a foppish parsou
in his pulpit, and, opening her hundred
Founders on the oncmy's position, settles
the whole question, covers the passage,
and even, if need be, takes part in the
subsequent battle, and dces much to de-
moralize the foo 5y delivering blows that
lie is utterly impotent to return. All
this comes in now in Europe, as it came
before in America, and it comes in best
for France for whatever force Of this
sort Prussia might have fit for use on
the Rhine is corked into Prussian ports
bv the French blockade, and the boats
of France have the river at their pleas
ure, since the only fleet Prussia has
out, except far away in the Mediterra-
mean. is the feet in the British Channel,
which is already matched with French
feet posted to watch. and may even
presently give us that rarity in modern
DAYS, the battle of a feet in open waters.
This is a contest where waiting and
plodding cannot be INDUCED, and hitting
on land or water must come soon.

GREAT MEN-THH SECRET OF THEIR
SUCCESS

From a lecture recently delivered by
the head master of the School of Art:
"Tho secret of the success of great
men is that there is no secret at all and
this is a secret which, though proclaim
ed upon the housotops before mutitudes
of hearers, will always be believed to be
a secret, and for no better reason than
that it is the easiest and most plausible
way Of explaining the difference that we
see TO exist between ourselves and those
we acknowledge to be great. If we
would fairly aud honestly take to the
acknowledgment that while we have
slept, great men have worked while
we have been self-indulgent and prone
to luxury, they have been self-denying
and Injured to hardships, we should lose
something in the good opinion we have
of ourselves; but we should gain great
deal in acknowledge, and dispcl a
mystery that should be no mystery at
all. There seem to be common elements
Of character in all great men-almost
the identical basis Of character in the
one as the other, the different voca:ions
explaining any minor differences that
are to be found in them. Thus | find
precisely the same features in the char
acters Of Michael Angelo and the Duke
of Wellington-two men, living three
centuries apart, in different countries
one great artist and one great war
rior. In them, as in every instance |
have yet studied, the distinguishing fea-
ture is an intense love of work-work Of
the kind that fell to the lot of each to do.
Another feature is indomitable courage,
and the last is a never-dying porseyor-
ancc. Though ! have carefully stud
led the histories of many Of the greatest
men, in order, if conId, to discover the
source of their greatness, and ! have
never yet come upon one great life that
has lacked these three features-love OF
work, unfaiiing courage, and perseyer-
ancc.o

We urge upon the Democratic party
everywhere ia Georgia to go to work at
once for the purpose Of making the Au-
gust Convention a great success. Coun-
ty meetings should be called at an early
day and the abIest and truost men every
where selected as delegates. This con
vcntion must really and substantially
represent the genuine Democracy Of
Georgia and should not be allowed to go
by default Now is the time for leading
men in every county to come forth and
clectrify the people with a declaration
Of true principles and impress upon them
the necessity Of always keeping the
faith. Let there be tremendous rally
from the mountains TO the sea. Let the
people remember that the character Of
the August Convention will depend upon
The kind Of men sent to compose it
Remembering this, let no mistakes be
committed in the choice Of representa-
tiycs.- Constituencies.

A PRETTY WoMAN.-It is agreed on
all hands that pretty women is one of
the institutions of the country-an an
gel in muslin and glory. She makes
sunshine, sky, and happiness wherever
she goes. Hear path is one of the deli
cious roses, sweet perfume and rayishing
beauty. She is a sweet poem, written
in rare colors and choice silk and princi-
pies. Men stand in her presence as SO
many admiration points. Her words
float around the ear like enchanting mu-
sic, birds Of paradise, or the mellow
chimes Of the Sabbath bells. Without
her, society would lose its truest attrac-
ton, and the young men the very best
company. Her influence and generosity
restrain the vicious and give strength to
the fainthcarted Where ever you find
a virtuous woman; you also find Preside
boquets, clean, clothes, order, good
living gentlrhearts, music, light, and in
stitutions of refinement generally. She
is the flower Of humanity.

A BEAUTIFUL 1DEA.-Far away among
the Alleshanies, there is a aspiring so
small that a single OK, in summers day,
could drain it dry. 1t steals unobstrsive
way among the hills, till it spreads out
into the beautiful Ohio. Thence it
stretches away thousand miles, leaving
on its banks more than hundred vii
lagos and cities and many cultivated
farm, and bearing half thousand
standardization joining the Missi8-
sippi, it s@eches away and away some
twelve hundred miles more till it falls
into the emblem of eternity. 1t is one
of the greatest tributaries Of the ocean,
which, obedient only to God, shall roll
and roar till the angel, with one foot OF
the sea and the other on the land, shall
lift up his hands and swear that time
shall be no longer. So with immorta

high, stalking through infinite space in
all the grandeur of littleness. Perched
on peck of the universe, every wind
