GREAT WESTERN CANAL.

The Gwinnett Herald has inter-
viewed the United States engineer
corps surveying the line for the
Great Western Canal from Etowah
to Macon. The line crosses the
Chattahooche at Torry's Ferry, runs
up Level Creek, crosses the Air
Line Road between Suwannee depot
and the Lawrenceville and Cumming
road, runs up Suwannee creek, near
Carlyles, crosses Peachtrec creek
and ridge at Big Poplar, on Mr..
Born's land, follows Agne creek to
Yellow river, and then it is easy
sailing to Macon. The report is to
be ready..for Congress before this
session is over. The acqueduct over
the Chattahoochee will be 1179 feet
above the stream, and will cost three
quarters of a million. The entire
length of canal to be cut will not be
over $50 miles, to 20 feet wide and
five feet deep, over which boat 100
feet long, and 25 feet wide will car
nv 200 tons.

WHAT A DREAM DID.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel soberly
narrates the following az a fact:
A gentleman of high social posi-
ton living in this county has a son
engaged in large mercantile house
in Omaha. A few weeks ago the
father received letter from his son
stating that he had been robbed OF
$4,000 belonging to his employer,
while returning from a collecting
trip through the country. The faith
err was naturally troubled by the in
tclligence, and when he retired to
his room for the night he lay awake
fer some time thinking of the I'M
fortunate occurrence. At last he
fell asleep, and as it seemed to him,
he was sitting by table in the bed
chamber Of Hotel Of Omaha,
listening to the conversation of two
young men who were recalling the
particulars of robbery in which
they had just been concerned, while
they counted over the proceedings
of the same with an exuitant air.
Learning the number of their
room, he descended the. stairs, consul
ted the register, fixed their names
in memory, together with the date
under which they were written, and
then awoke. He Immediately wrote
a letter to his son, requesting him to
call at the Hotel, look at the
register, and if he found the names
of John B. Wilson and James Frank
inscribed on its pages under the date
of November, to have the parties
found, arrested, and charged with
the theft of the $4,000. The son
followed the directions, and from
letter received by the father yester-
day we learn that the said John B.
Wilson and James Frank were ar
rested at the said hotel; that they
confessed to the felony that 1882
of the lost money was recovered,
and that the offenders had been sent
to the penitentiary.

WASHINGTON February 2.-The
education bill was resumed Hoar
met with general assault, the crimi-
nal record showing strongly against
Massachusetts,, which Hoar attribu-
ted to foreigners.
HoUsE-The Indian appropria-
ton Bill passed. The postal Indians
get nothing, and deductions are or
dered for depredations committed.
Critcher then took the floor and
said he, too, directed his remarks to
what Hoar had said in regard to the
illiteraey of Virginia and other
Southern States. He would chal-
lenge the whole State of Mississippi
to produce as many intelligent and
patriotic men as he could name
from a single county in his own
District. IN the neighborbood of
his own plantation was the birth
place of Washington; not far from
that was Stratford, the residence of
Light Horse Harry Lee; near there
was Geutility, the residence of Rich
ard Henry Lee, the mover of the
Declaration of independence, and
the Cicero of America. In the
same neighborhood were the resi-
denees of Charles Lee, Washington's
Attorney, General Arthur Lee, the
accomplished negociator of the
treaty between the Colonies and
France, and the birthplaces of Mon
roe, Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee.
He challenged Hoar to find such
illustrations of mental vigor in his
own State. Hoar, badgered to des-
peration on all sides, allowed him
self to say he had not criticised
either the intelligence or the ele-
gance of the educated tyrants of
whom Critcher had spoken. He
had alluded to geneation of men
who whipped women, begat little
children, and sold them into slavery
and then rebelled against the insti-
tutions which they had assisted to
establish. No action was taken. A
session will be held tomorrow for
debate only

WHAT INTEMPERANCE DOES.

Intemperance, that is whisky
drinking, cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength, and
breaks the fathers heart, bereaves
the loving mother, extinguishes nat
ural affection, grasses conjugal love,
blots out filiaI attachment, blights
parental hope, and brings down
mournful age in sorrow to the grave.
1t produces weakness, not strength !;
sickness, not health death, not
life. 1t makes wives, widows chill
dren, orphans; fathers, fiends; and
all of them paupers and beggars.-
1t feeds epidemics, imports pesti-
lence and embraces consumption
1t covers the land with idleness, pow
erty, disease and crime. 1t fills
your jailS, supplies your aims
houses and demands our asylums.-
1t engenders controversies, fosters
quarrels and cherishos riots. 1t
crowds your penitentiaries and fur
nishes the victims for your scaffolds.
1t is the life blood of the gambler,
the aliment of the counterfeiter, the
prop of the hangman and the sup
port of the midnight incendiary. II
countenances the liar, resurrects the
thief and esteems the blasphemer.-
1t violates obligation, reverences
fraud and honors infamy. 1t de-
flames bsnevolence, hates love,
scorns virtue, SANDERS innocence
incites the father to butcher his help
less offspring, helps the husband to
massacre his wife, and aids the child
to grind the parricidal axe. 1t
burns up man and consumes woman,
defeats life, curses God and despises
Heaven. 1t brings shame; not hon.
or; terror, not safety; despair not
hope; misery not happiness; with
the malevolence of fiend it calmly
surveys its dssolat;ons, and insati-
ated with havoc, pOisons felicity,
kills peace, ruins morals, blights
confidence and Stays reputation, then
curses the world aud laughs at its
ruin. 1t murders the soul. 1t is
the sum of all villainies and curses ;
the devils best friend.

FEMALE DELICACY.--About every
other feature that adorns the fe-
male character, delicacy stands fore
most within the province of good
taste. Not that dolicacy which is
perpetually in quest of something to
be ashamed of which makes merit of
blush, and Shippers at the false
construction of its own ingenuity
has past upon an innocent remark /;
this spurious kind of delicacy is as
far removed from good taste as from
good feeling and good sense; but
the high minded delicacy which
maintains its pure and undertaking
walk alike amongst women as in the
society of men, which shrinks from
no necessary duty, and can speak
when required with seriousness and
kindness Of things at which it would
be ashamed to smile or to blush.

IT rs BEGINNING TO WORK.


"Negro equality" is doomed to be
wiped out. A Missouri member of
the House of Representatives intro
duced joint resolution the other
day, proposing an amendment to the
Constitution. 1t provides that it
shall not be lawful for whites and
negroes to marry in the United
States and that all such marriages
are forever prohibited. 1t is this
sort of 'little leaven" which in time

equality is monstrous fraud, and
no party will sooner repudiate it than
the knaves and Scoundrels who, for
ten years, have been harping on that
one idea, for political effect. The

Horace Greedy, of the Tribune who
has done more to build up this "ne-
gro equality" theory, and to promul-
gate the absudity, that a negro is
simply a caucasian with a black
skin, practically denies his logic,
and stultifes himself daily, by hold

THE HOME PAPER.

This is the season of the year,
says the jamestown Journal, when
the large city newspaper and maya
zine publishers are sending out their
prospcctuses into the country, and
every post-Oficc is flooded with
"great inducements" to subscribe
for this and that periodical. This
is is all right, provided you do not
lose sight of tho fact that you have
newspaper nearer your own door
that is hundred times more close
ly Identified with your prosperity
and more sincerely interested in the
welfare of your own neighborhood
and county, than all the city papers
combined. A contemporary, in re-
marking on this subject, says $40
the city papers say anything in
regard to your own county, Moth
ing. Do they contain notices of
your schools, churches, meetings,
improvements and hundreds Of 9TH

Not an item. Do they ever say

your county and its numerous thriv-
ing towns, and in their progress

yet there are men who take such
contracted views of this matter, that
unless they are getting as many
square inches of reading matter in
their own paper as they do in city
paper, think they are not getting
the worth of their money back. 1t

ARLtNGToN.-Monday last, Sena-
tor Lewis, of Virginia, presented
petition from the widow of General
Robert E. Lee, setting forth the sale
of the Arlington estate as unconsti-
tutional, and asking Congress to ap-
propriate 100000 to purchase .the
estate for her, whereupon she will
give the government clear title
We trust the passions and aspsri-
ties of the war have so far subsidized
in the minds of Congressman that
they will consider and decide this
question according to justice and
right. Arlington belonged to Mrs.
Lee, a feeble, unofonding woman,
and has been! taken from her
by the government without just
cause or compensation. 1t was an
act unworthy a great nation, and
there should be manliness enough in
Congress to revoke it, by paying the
full value of the property.

HARD ON HELEN.
HER MOTHERS CAREER.

The Charlestown (Mass.) Chroni'
Gle says: The early life of jose
phine Mansfield, Fisk's paramour,
was passed in this city. 1t wa:
here that she acquired the rudiments
of her education, and here she i:
still keenly remembered by hel
playmates and neighbors. She il
described as being at that time ar
exceedingly attractive girl, remark
ably stylish in figure, and giving
promise of developing into slight,
graceful and elegant woman. The
surroundings of her youth were such
as to accurately fit her for her sub
sequent career. She lived in pub
licity, and was entirely without the
guardianship ofprudent counselors.
Her father having died, her moth
er accepted an offer of Charles
Mansfield, her husbands brother,
an old bachelor, to make his house
their home. Mrs. Mansfield and
her daughter were comfortably in
stalled in their new home and had
charge of the domestic affairs of the
house. The widow was extremely
attractive, lively and intelligent and
made the lonely Benedict's home
pleasant to him. Time elapsed and
the vivacious widow was asked, con-
scented, and became the wife of Mr..
Charles Mansfield, who was a thor
ough business man. His business
called him daily to a noighboring
town, His tastes were domestic and
he loved the frOside and rarely stay
ed from it. Balls, operate and
theatrical performance he wholly es-
chewed. The same old story over
again. Diversity of tastes led to
the destruction of conjugal felicity.
The pleasure-loving wife absented
herself from home. Forenoon or
afternoon saw her stylishly arrayed
promenading the streets. Mr..
distrust of his wife was
stimulated by the discovery of let
ters which indicated that a secret
correspondence was being carried
on between his matrimonial partner
and her admirers. Suspicion was
quickened, the style of her visitors
made known her treachery. Mr..
Mansfield instituted proceedings and
obtained a divorce.
During this period, Helen jose
phene, Fisk's partner in revelries,
was an inhabitant of her mothers
dwelling, and though young, initial
ed her mothers bad behavior. Her
conduct became so scandalous, the
were institatinss means
to have her dealt with by the police,
but her stepfather saved her this ig-
by sending her from town.
Her subsequent career of shame has
been too recently rehearsed not to
be familiar to the public.
