NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
OF MUSCOGEE-

The Convention on the 9th, IN
Atlanta, to nominate a candidate Tor
Governor to gil the unexpired present
term, nominated JAMES NJ. SMITH,
of Columbus. We confess that we
do not like the action of the Legisla-
ture providing for this election. 1t
may have been just, but it was GER
tainly impolitic and unnecessary,
and it is an election which can do US
no good and may involve great
deal of mischief.
There will be no contest at the
polls the conflict, if one arises, will
come after the election, unless, as is
now intimatsd, the Republicans
nominate a candidate, in which event,
the State may avoid entirely the
Conley conflict, and consequent, Ma
tional Intervention.

THE POLITICAL MISSION OF THE
NEWSPAPER

Our experience leads to the infer
ence that the sole and only political
mission of the Newspaper is to make
"great men," OF course it has its
ends to serve in all such creations
and often mercilessly consumes its
"men of straw" but it is only to
make some one else "great" who, it
is hoped, will better serve it's pur-
pose.

A NEW VICE.

The London Lancet calls attention to
the enormous manufacture of the new
sedative drug, choral. 1t states that it is
sold by tons week, and quotes letter
from Baron Liebig, affirming that one Ger
man chemist manufactures and sells half
ton every week. OF course, no such
quantity is used in medicine, and the
Lancet seems afraid that it gets into
beer; but there is a simpler expla-
nation, as it will find on inquiry. Taking
choral is new and popular vice, particu-
larly among women, and is doing at least as
much harm as alcohol. The drug is kept
in thousands Of dressing cases, and those
who begin its use often gov so addicted to
it that they pass their lives in a sort of con-
tented stupeiaction. Choral drunkenness
will soon be an admitted variety of the spe-
cies, and will hardly be less evil in its effects
than opium eating or the drinking of intoxi-
eating liquors.

ASHES FOR PEACH TREES.

The following is the substance of paper
read by DR.. George Wood to the American
Pathological Society, of which he is a men,
Der. OF course he refers to hard wood
ashes-our pine wood product is poor in
potash, and therefore could be of little ben
fit applied:
Peach trees, after producing few crops,
not only cease bearing, but perish in short
time; whereas the natural life is fifty or
sixty years, or more. The cause of this de-
fective power of growth is owing to def
cheney of potash in the soil; and if this
alkali be supplied to the tree, so that it
shall reach the small roots and be absorbed,
the fruit-bearing power is restored, and the
fruit itself, prematurely perishing, is re-
vived.
Believing at first, with some persons, that
the cause of decay lay in worms at the root
of the peach tree, DIR. Wood put in opera
ton a plan which he had seen his father
perform more than fifty years before, viz:
of digging around the base of the stem a
hole four or five inches deep, scraping
away all the worms that could be found
burrowing at the junction of the stem and
root, and filling the hole thus made with
wood ashes from the fire, which of course
retained all their potash. This was done in
the autumn of 1868, and with a result in
the following spring at which he himself
was astonished. The trees appeared to
have been restored to all their early vigor
and freshness; they put forth bright green
leaves, poisoning copiously, and bore a
crop of fruit such as they had never borne
before, many of the branches breaking
down under the load of peaches.
DR.. Wood, in rejecting on these results,
noticed that several of the peach trees had
no worms, and came to the conclusion that
he must look for an explanation to some
other cause than the destruction of few
worms; and this cause he believed to be the
ashes, the potash Of which being dissolved
by the rain, had descended along the roots
to the rootlets, and presented them the
very food for the want Of which they were
dying. Decaying apple trees, bearing stint
ed and inedibls fruit, have been revived by a
similar process, and with like results.

THERE COMES TIME.

There comes time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea,
Slopes gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes whispering sad and chillingly;
And locks are gray
AS winters day,
And ewes of saddest blue behold
The leaves all weary drift away,
And lips of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes time when joyous hearts,
Which leaped as leaps the laughing main.
Are dead to all save memory,
AS prisoner in his dungeon chain;
And dawn of day
Hath passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the eInbers wan and gray,
/ hear voice In whisper say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes q time when manhood's primo
Is shrouded in the mist Of years,
And beauty, fading like dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears;
And then, how dark
But, oh, the spark.
That kindled youth TO hues of gold,
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering, say,
There comes q time when we grow old.
There comes a time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe,
20 dread the last declivity;
But now the slope,
With rosy Hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold,
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watches whisper through the night,
There is time when we grow old.
