Certainly no President of the United
States was ever such aSubjcct of ridiculc
as is Grant. The Northern papers are
now universally running a joke in this
wise. Namely, that Queen Victoria has
opened negotiations with our President
to marry her youngest daughter the
Princess Beatrice to Prince Fred Grant.
" Prince Fred is cadet at West Point,
and the newspaper correspondents say
that, at the same time he is bccomingly
reticent OH the delicate subject, he rather
encourages the belief that the match is
really on the tapis. And so they Sun it.
And in every conceivable way Prince
Fred" and his august father are made
ridiculous. OF the PrincesSs immediate
forefathers this, it will be remembered,
WAS written. And good thing it is:
"George the First was alwaysreckoncd
Duff. aud duller George the Second;
And what mortal ever heard
Any good of George the Third
When George the Fourth TO hell de-
Then, thank God! the Georges ended.'
Yet notwithstanding all this, we can't
help thinl1ingthe Princess Beatrice Gulph
heap too good for Prince Frederick
Grant. If we were her, we wouldn't
dream of having him.
BAIL it is not a pleasant thing in these
vulgar dayS of the Repu tic to be the
wife, widow, or son of President. Think
of the poor Widow Lincoln SELLING her
old clothesI y and her SONS "Bob" and
"Tad." And now poor Freddy Grant
marrying an august British Princess
whose fathers have been kings since the
time of Alfred the Great

Times. Revenges.

An interesting element in the extraordi
nary strength Of the Greeley movement
is the peoples belief that Mr. Greeley
has not been treated properly by Presi-,
dent Grant. -
When Grant cvme into Office. his best
friends hoped that he would suitably re-,
cognlze the great services and merits OF
the founder of the Republican party: MIR;
Greeley had labored long, and had had
more to do in building up the party and IN
shaping its policy than any other living
man. But for him, indeed, Grant could
never have been President; and yet, IN
distributing the honors and rewards OF
power, Grant paid him no attention what
ever. For our part we had hoped that he
would at least offer him the place of Min
lister to England, and we asked him for
this and for nothing else But he offered
him nothing. He passed. him by in neg
lect and conferred the great distinctions
of the Government upon men who had
given him presents
This contempt for Mr. Greeley the peo-
pie resent. They think it would not be a
bad plan to to'take this homely Republi-
can whom the Military Ring have reject
3D. and make him President. 5.5

The eliminating Point of Nineteen
Canfuriact

On Friday last, the 10th inst, P1Us TX,
Pope Of Rome, completed the twenty
fifth year of his pontificate-the first
Bishop who has sat there for so long a
period since the days of st. Peter. The
Catholic Church throughout the world
celebrated this jubilee with uncommon
pomp aud splendor, in all the solemnity
OF its gorgeous and glorious ritual.
The history of the Papacy-so grand
and so fascinating lowers nineteen Gen.
turies. And that out Of these disem-
bodied centuries we can to-day touch
something living which has passed down
unchanged and intact. something that
moves among IL and is OF the actual
present a. much as ourselves. is surely
cause enouch for wonder! And cause
enough to make all other creeds stop to
think-to think that Chrisi's promise TO
His apostles Of unremitting intercom-
munion is being fulfilled to-day as ii
was when the catacombS Of Rome were
the Christians house OF prayer and the
maws of lions dtigers his only certain
place Of rest And cause enough to make
all confess that it is as impossible to sepa-
rate the Popes from the story OF Chris
tianity rs it would be the Apostles them
selves! And cause enough to make the
stern, unyielding, superhumn faith of
the Catholic Church still more immova-
bic in all its tenets!
PIUs ,lN is not at all triumphant i'll
worldly matters, but still he has spent
the test time of quarter of a century in
the chair of st. Peter. His vicarate has
been troubled, hut not more so than that
of many Of his predecessors. Like many
of them, he has been hunted from Rome
to be brought back, as was Plus VII, in
triumph. He is simple old man, and
yet strong, benevolent and fervently pi-
Gus. The weight of years is upon him,
but his smile is calm, and the light in
his clear eyes is unsubdued. Awaiting
the award of God, to whom he fondly APP
peals as the guide of circumstances, he,
on Friday last, received the congratula-
tons and sympathies Of monarchs and
potentates, OF prince and peasant, ofpeo-
plies and races, with undertaking faith in
the final result.
From this jubilee of PIUs IN, may
date momentous reaction in the tempo
raj affairs Of the Papacy of nineteen CEN
turies!

ro make BIackberry wine.

Use ripe berries. To every gallon OF
the fruit pour half gallon of boiling wa
ter, and let them stand "a hours. Then
pour off the juice pressing the berries)
through colander into an open vessel.
Strain again through flannel bag, and
to every gallon of juice add two and a
half pounds of good clean sugar. Stir
it up well and put into denijohns, filling
them entirely. These should be kept
full to the brim, and for this purpose a
bottleful of the juice should be reserved,
from which the demijohn should be re-
plenished daily until fermentation ceases
when the'wine should be poured off in
an open vessel and clarified in the fol-
lowing manner: Wash sand lhalf pint

until the water will run clear from it.
Beat to this the whites of four eggs and
stir into the wine. When it has settled,
and the wine looks perfectly clear, pour
off carefully into demijohns, putting a
piece of muslin inside of the funnel.
Cork tightly and set in cool place where
it will not be disturbed until December
or January.

Hon. Jefferson Davis.

A short time ago, Mr.. Davis, in passing
through the city OF Atlanta, was called
upon by a large number OF citizens, and
induced to deliver short speech The
words had scarcely fallen from his lips;
when the whole Northern Radical press,
is ablaze with indignation, crying ku,
klux, treason, tho rebellion again, and al
such stuff. Some of our own weak-kneed
paoers are terribly frightened, and think
Il verv imprudent in Mr. Davis to speak
TO the people. Then what can our people
Go if they cannot speak? 1t is almost the
only right left us. Are we to become
mutes? Must we hear no word from our
great and good men? Must we listen to
nc speeches unless uttered by our enemies
and. opponents? Can but one side OF the
questions of the day be spoken on? Is
the liberty of speech to be taken from us?
Why should not Mr.. Davis, or any man in
this broad land, speak to the people who
wish 70 hear him, whenever or wherever
he may choose? And when he speaks,
why should he not utter his sentiments
freely and fully? What is the harm?
Why shall he be compelled forever to
smother his feelings, to conceal his views,
or to please his mighty conquerors, to ut:
ter falsehoods Are the Radicals afraid
of the truth? Are they afraid for the peo-
pie to hear it? Where was the treason
in the speech? We could not see it. He
simply uttered the sentiments of ninety
nine hundredths OF the people OF Georgia,
who have brains to think
We, the people, wish to hear our great
men speak We wish to know their views
upon the question of the day Heaven
knows they are OF moment enough to us
tomake us wish to hear all we can We
wish their advice, and when they can dc
10 more, we wish to hear, as we did from
Mr. Davis, some words of cheer and hope
io. thefuture The presents dark enoOgh
and we want words Of encouragement from
the lips of those in whom we have conf
dence. Wehave been accustomed to suci
things al our lives, we have. been raise
that way. But it seems that we'ere u
willingly allowed this privilege. Let or,
OF our genuine statesmen speak word

cries treason! Ku-Klux another rebelli".

Let Judge Linton STEPHENS argue In b

Among the improvements recently
made to business houses in the city, (says
the Constitutt6nai$t, of tuesday, we
desire to notice that made to the store OF
Mr.. II. L. A. BA1dl, dry goods dealer.
The front has been painted light green,
very pleasing to the eye, and the number
of the store, 172, painted in large letters
on each side. a conspicuous sign ingilt
letters extends over the side walk from
building to curbstone. Inside every
thing is neat and orderly. Mr.. Balk is
German, who has been doing business
here only since 1865, but by his strict and
systematic attention to his business has
built up a large and prosperous trade
which continues to grow. Such men
deserve success.

As the train approached the child, sec

They Didn't steal!"

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, a aMongrel journal, who has
been wandering among the waste places
of South Carolina, gives utterance to his
musings as follows:
How the old families have been broken
up and scattered! The former home OF
the Hamptons is now desolate hill and
the family is no longer the power in the
land that it once was. The Prestons,
Middletons, Pinkneys and Rhetts have
all been reduced from their nigh estates.
They are no longer the rulers of South
Carolina. But l,st us pass everything to
their credit tha { is due, and say that
through the long years that these families
ruled the State, they stole none Of its
revenues nor disIgraced- none Of its high
places by igno rant and corrupt men.
Faulty as the old time Southern Demo
cratic politicians; were, they. were honest.
Whatever they tiid, they did not steel, -

ATLANTA. GA, June Z, 1871.
Henry Moore, ESq.:--DEAs SIR
Yours of the 9th received. The gauge
ouestion.is attracting much attention an

is deeply interested.
The practical workings Of the Narrow

ted It's superiority over that of the Broac
Gauge for all ordinary demands, furnish

Their capacity is fully equal to The
Broad Gauge, while their cost is only
about one-half, and operating expenses
much less
Ii is time we had quit building railways
with capacity from five hundred to one
thousand per cent. greater than our pres
ent business demands, and take to build
ing common sense railways, adapted to our
wants and qoithin or means.
The tendency OF our railways is to q
consolidation, the practical effect OF which.
: to make our interior cities mere way
s;atiofis, resulting in determinations against
them destructive 10 their commercial.
interests.
The most efiectual remedy for these
evils is the Narrow Gauge, with its smal
cost aid Iqht operoti11g expenses, thereby
proviiing for. the great want of the Soutt

the highest rates OF transportation OF any
civilized people in the world, while then
wants demand the lowest.
