improvements.

Among the improvements recently
made to business houses in the city, (says
the Constituti6nahst, of Tuesday, We
desireto notice that made to the store of
Mr.. n. L. A. BALd1, 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 a
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.

Let Left. Davis Alone,

If, in it's exultation over the general
democratic acceptance of its "new de-
parture" notion of platform, the New
York World has a particle of common
sense left, (says the Mobile Rcgister) it
will let jeff. Davis alone. The Southern
Democracy have expressed their willing
ness to leave the Northern and Western
section of the party to shape the plan Of
battle for 1872, but they have not consent
ed to give up any of their own leaders
to immolatation under the planlls of that
platform. We are always prepared to
find Mr.. Davis and his colleagues calum-
mated in the Radical paper. 1t is their
vocation. But it is simply indecent i'll
Democratic papers like the World. 1t
may be very polite for the North, and
perhaps will tickle here and there Re-
publican voter; but we warn the World
and the Chicago Times that abuse of a
man who is no politician, processes to be-
long to no party, who is without politi-
cal aspiration, and who is simply IN OK
Southern leader, in misfortune, is the
very reverse 6f,politic in this. section OF
the Democratic vineyard. 1t is a sword
with double edge. If it cuts one way
in the North, it cuts.keenly and deeply
in the South. While our Northern friends
are constantly enjoining prudence upon
us of the South, lest we furnish capital
for Radical calulnnies, would it not be
well in them to practice it themselves?
If we have not many rights left us, we
certainly have some feelings. What is
more practically important than that, we
hayev otes, too.

The Culminating Point of Nineteen

Centuries!
On Friday last the 18th inst, P1us TX,
Pope of Rome, completed the twenty
fifth year of his pontifcate-th 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 and splendor, in all the solemnity
of its gorgeous and glorious ritual.
The history of the Papacy-so grand
and so fascinating !--covers nineteen CEN
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 us and is of the actual
present as much as ourselves, is surely
cause enough for wonder! And cause
enough to make all other creeds stop to
think-to think that Christ's promise to
His apostles Of unremitting intercom-
munion is being fulfilled to-day as it
was when the catacombs Of Rome were
the Christians house of prayer and the
maws of lions and'tigers 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 as it would be the Apostles them
selves! And cause enough to make the
stern, unyielding, superhuman faith of
the Catholic Church still, more immova-
BILE in all its tenets!
PIUsrIX is not st all triumphant in
worldly matters, but still he has spent
the testtime of quarter of a century in
the chair of st. Peter. His vicarate has
been troubled, but 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 ap-
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-
pies and races, with undertaking faith in
the final result.
From this jubilee of PIUs IN, may
date momentons reaction in the tempo
raj affairs of the Papacy of nineteen CEN
turies!

, Melancholy Railroad Catastrophe

The Wheeling West Va.,) Intelsgencer
reports that the Cincinnati and Plttsburg
express going west over the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad oa Tuesday morning, about
a,mile east of Glover,s Gap, ran over and
instantly killed a young man OF perhaps
eighteen, and child of FIVE or six years
# age, which he was trying to rescue
from danger The young man was mend
ng fence not far from the track, and the
:.hild; whose brother he was, appears to
I've left the house with the intention Of
crossing the road and going to him. The
child, when seen By the engineer, was
aalking. along beside the road at q safe
distance. when the brother saw the
ram coming he ran down towards the
r6ad, apprehending that the child might
.tte1pt to cross before the train.
As the train. approached the child, sec
ng: its brother coming on the opposite
lie of the road, turned, with "a. strange
'.tality, and started to run across the
rack directly in front Of the engine to
meet him. The brother sprang upon the
rack to snatch it away, and in an instant
the locomotive was. upon them and they
,,ere crushed beneath its ponderous wheels.
The train was stopped as soon as possible,
md all went back to see the sad spectacle.
The child's body was dreadfully mangled,
md the upper portion of the young mans
aead had been crushed completely away.
The father and mother had come out to
he roadside and were bending over their
lead children and uttering heart-piercing
lamentations 1t was a scene to melt
aearts of stone, and many were moved to
ears.

a Great nav in Berlin.

To-day, Tuesday Goth June, is taking
place the grand formal entry of the vic
torious German army into Berlin-one of
the grandest displays of the age. Cable
kilograms give vivid ideas of the pre-
parations which have been made to grace
the entry of the conquerors of the war.
A route has beed chosen which admits of
an enormous numbero of spectators. Some
days ago English and American sight
seers had already arrived in great num-
bers-a sure sign that the spectacle in
preparation would be worth seeing. The
march is through the Inter den Linden,
the great Thoroughbred of Berlin, an ave-
nue. sixty yards broad, and mile and
a half in length. Triumphal arches
adorned with notices and statues enl-
blematic of the war are constructed along
the whole route. All the sovereigns of
Germany are there. This gorgeous mill
tary spectacle is meant for something
more than a snowy display. 1t is in
tended to commemorate the. union in
arms and in heart Of all the sons and ma
tions Of Germany. ~.

Time,s. Reyenses.

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 Preslr-
dent Grant -:
When Grant ceme into Office, his best
friends hoped that he would suitably re.
cognize. the great services and merits OF
the founder Of the Republican party. MIR;
Greeley mad labored long, and had had
mora 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
ister to England, and we asked him for
this and for nothing else But he offered
him nothing, HI. 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 8
bad plan to to;take this homely. Repub1i-
can, whom the Military Ring have reject
ed, and make him. President. T..i.,
I What would Grant think Of his own
conduct if the man whom he would not
make Minister to England because he had
not given him a present; should now be
chosen to succeed him at the White

/" They Didn't Steal!"'

A correspondent of the Cincinnati

been wandering among the waste places
of South Carolina, gives utterance to his
musings as follows:
How the old families nave been broken
up and scattered! The former home o1
the Hamptons is now desolate hill, and
the family is no longer the. power in the
land that 1t once was. The Prestons,
Middletons, Pinkneys and Rhetts have

Hon. Jefferson Davis,

A short time ago, Mr.. Davis, in passing
through the city OF Atlanta, was called
upon by 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 hG,
klux, treason, tho rebellion again, and all
such stuff. Some of our own weak-kneed
papers are terribly frightened, and think
il very imprudent in Mr.. Davis to speak
10 the people Then what can our people
Go if they cannot speak? 1t is almost the
only right left us. Are we to become
'mutcs? Must we hear no word from our
great and good men? Must we listen to
no speeches unless uttered by our enemies
and, d,opponents2 Can but one side OF the
questions of The day be spoken on? Is
the liberty of speech to be taken from us?
Whyshould not Mr.. Davis, or any man in
this broad land, speak to the people who
wish to 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 conauerors. 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

We, tie people, wish to hear our great

To Make BIackberry Wine.

Use ripe berries. To every gallon Of
the fruit pour half agallon 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 denJohns, filing
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 thewine should be poured off in
an open vessel and clarified in the fol-
lowing manner: Wash sand lhalf a pint
will be sufficient for five gallons of wine)
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 n
piece of muslin inside of the funnel.
Cork tightly and set in cool place where
it will not be disturbed until December
or January.
A few days befere bottling, have the
bottles well washed, dried and summed.
Provide new corks. Have everything in
readiness before the bottling begins, in
cluding cement for sealing. Strain the
wine again into large pitchers, taking
particular care not to turn the demijohn
back after beginning to pour from it, as
it stirs up the sediment which is at the
bottom. Cover the inside of the funnel
with piece of muslin before placing it in
the mouth of the bottle, and cork it inn
mediatcly, driving the cork in with a
wooden mallet. Never use old cor<s.
Seal carefully with cement, and keep in
q cold place, with necks of the bottles
down.

Certainly no President of the United
States was over such asubject of ridicule
as is Grant. The Northern papers are
now universally running 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 lat West Point,
and the newspaper correspondents say
that, at the same time he is becomingly
reticent OH the delicate subject, he rather
encourages the belief that the match is
really on the tapis. And so they gun it.
And in every conceivable way "Prince
Fred and his august father are made
ridiculous. Of the Princess's immediate
forefathers this, it will be remembered,
was written. And good tlnng it is:
"George the First was always reckoned
Dtll, and duller George the Second;
And what mortal eyer heard
Any good Of George the Third
When George the Fourth to hell de-
scended,
Then; thank God! the Georges ended.'
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. =
Bahi it is not pleasant thing in these
vulgar days of the Republic to be the
wife, widow, or son of President. Think
of the poor Widow Lincoln Selling her
old clothes y and her sons !" Bob' and
