ton.
Though this work, by its title, is sugges-
tive of another essay on man, after the man.
ner of an earlier poet, yet when we come to
examine it more closely, we find more
nearly resemblance to Millions Paradise
Lost, which, tradition informs US. was sold
by the author, after much chaffering, for
fourteen pounds and few odd shillings.
The design Of the work is fashioned some
what after the last named, and the measure
and style correspond to it. 1t contains one
hundred and seventy-fve large octave
pages, besides one of errata. 1t is, no
doubt, poem of peculiar power, and is de-
serving of q much more extended notice
than we are able to give it upon a very
hasty glance. We are indebted to the
pOliteness of the author for a copy.

The Houston Union notices the reap
pearance of Judge Bell on the political
stage:
We are very glad to see that the Repub-
lican State executive committee have in
vited that distinguished gentleman, jurist
and statesman, Hon. James H. Bell, to de-
liver an address on the political questions
and situation Of the present time; No
the country will await it with interest.
Judge Bell is one of the best thinkers of
the State, good speaker and writer, and
has always been Republican. Since the
Hamilton campaign, in which he sup
ported Hamilton, he has had but little to
do with politics. We are glad he has re-
appeared on the political stage.

Local Intelligence.

L e@oS@S
noon yesterday two men, C. P. Berringer
and z. Lide, were on a scaffold painting the
front of the building No. l6 Exchange alley,
opposite the old postofice. The boards con-
.stituting the platform Or scaffold, having
been carelessly arranged, gave way, preei-
pitating both naea to the banquette, fall
of about twenty feet. One of the boards
fell on Berringer's body, SCATTERING the
bones of his left leg just shove the ankle,
bseaking one arm aAd Otherwise injuring
him. The worst wound is that above the
ankle, the flesh being torn and the bones
mashed into splinters, JOINTS sad pieces pro-
tru&ing, presenting siekeniag sight. Not
outstanding his horrible condition he quite
coolly gave directions and expressed his
desires, asking to be sent to his home. Crti.
zens, especially Messrs. Heidiagsfelder and
Stitch, attended to his wants q we'll as they
could. binding his wounds and relieving his
terrible pains. There i 10 possible chance
Of saving his leg.
The Other man, 2. Lide, vas badly bruised
and was net ct first noticed. everybody At
tending hu fellow laborer. As sooa as he
could breathe freely, he crawled into the
store. Although there we're. no outward
signs, some Of his bones must have been
broken. He YES. sent to his home. The
men were painting for w. E. Lee. Without
doubt there was criminal neglect some
where. and perhaps no investigation will I've
made yet it is hoped that this accident, if it
can be called an accident, will prove good
lesson to others in their situation. There is
no bravery in facing danger that way, as
some painters do; it is cowardice.

The Atlanta, Georgia, Neu Era says:

1t is sometimes said that there are no pre-
cedents for the action of the Legislature in
case of the resignation of the governor. But,
according to our reading of the history of
Georgia, Governor Conley is not the first
president of tho Senate who has become
governor by the death or resignation Of his
predecessor, and We point to the precedent
Of David Emanuel, Jared Irwin, William
the Senate, who became governors to fill
vacancies. and in their cases they served
out the terms for which their predecessors
were elected, and NO election was had by the
people to fill the vacancies.
