Death of Gen. Ambrose R. Wright.

This event has produced a deeply sad
dening effect upon this community.
Throughout Georgia, and among I'll the
brave soldiers who followed his gallant.
lead, and served under the Confederate
Flag with him, on many Of the most hotly
contested fields of the war, the announce.
ment of Gen. Wright's death will be re-
ceived with sorrowful emotions. Early
enlisted in the war as private in the
Confederate Light Guards Gen Wright
was soon elected Colonel of his regiment,
the Sd Georgia, and by his gallantry, mill
tary talents, and fidelity to duty, was first
promoted Brlgadier General, then Major
General in the service He served on
many ss lguinary fields, and was severely
wounded in one of the bloodiest battles of
the war. Disabled by his wounds, Gen.
Wright returned home, and was elected
to the State Senate, and President of the
Senate, serving one term in that high Of
fee. At the close of the war, he became
resident Of Augusta, where he resumed
and continued in the active practice Of his
profession, until his last illness. Of dis
tinguished legal abilities, and fine orator.
cal powers, he maintained righ rank at
the bar, and achieved marked success as a
lawyer.
Superadded to his professional labors.
he flled, with much talent, tact and good
Judgment, the responsible position OF Ed
tor-in- C hief Of the Augusta Chronicle d
Sentinel one of the foremost dailies of the
South. He had but recently completed
| an arduous and triumphant canvass as
Democratic candidate for Congress, IN the
Eighth Congressional District, during
which he labored incessaltly. and made
brilliant and effective speeches in every
county in the District. His election in
October by very decisive majority was
splendid tribute to his abilities, and
proof Of public confidence in his fitness
for the position.
Gen. Wright was a native of Jefferson
county, Ga.; where he commenced his pro-
fessional career and became early distin-
guished by his oratory, his legal acumen,
and close attention to professional busi-
ness. He moved to Richmond county
about fourteen years ago, and has been
during that period one Of our. most active
and influential citizens.
Thus has fallen in the meridian Of q
conspicuous career, one who seemed, IN
all human calculation, destined to a bril-
liant and prosperous future. Had Provi-
dence spared him awhile longer 10 his
constituents and his Stats, he would have
marked his name yet higher in the role
OF the distinguished men Of Georgia. He
would have taken at nnce high rank in
the National Councils, and won for himself
name of which his family, his friends,
and the people of Georgia would have
been proud.
Alas curbsl in his high career, he is
cut down by remorseless disease. After
days of severe suffering. he has sunk to
rest. No clash Of srms-no political'tur-
moil disturbs him now.
"After lifes fitful fever he sleeps WELL"
A long train of soryowings friends will
attend the last sad iobsequies, And mingle
their sympstkies in, this great public loss,
and in this sad bereavement to his strlck.

A New Thing in Surgery.

Eli Perkins, writing of a visit to
Bellevue Hospital, New York.
gives the following account of .
new practice in surgery:
The first new invention is the
practice Of using, in case of frac-
tured limbs and arms, q mould of
plaster of Paris. The old 'splints'
are done away with. Tho patients
broken leg or arm is bandaged,
and over the bandage is moulded
q thin layer Of plastic plaster Of
Paris. This soon dries, and the
patient, instead of being compell-
ed to lie in bed, can get up in
twenty minutes and 60 around on
crutchcs.
The broken member is held
perfectly secure in the light plas.
ter mold. This is q wonderful
and simple invention. A little boy
three years old. whose leg was
broken yesterday, was rollins
around on the floor in high gle,
in apparent unconcern. with Iii,
broken limb, not in iron clad. bu
in . plaster clad battery.

GOD BLESS you.

How sweetly fall those simple words
Upon the human heart,

Are dnomcd by fate to part.
You sadly press the hand of those
Who thus in love caress yon,
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out "God bless you.''

When one whom in childhood loved
Went from my dreamy gaze.
Now binding tears fall thick and fast

While echoes of the heart bring back
The farewell prayer, "God bless you.''
The mother sending forth her boy
To scenes untried and new,
Lisps not studied, stately speech,
Nor murmurs out "adieu."
She sadly says, between her sobs,
'sWhene'er misfortanes press you,
Come to thy mother, boy, come back"
Then sadly sighs, "God bless you."
"God bless you," more of expressed love
Than volumes without number,
Revealed we thus our trust in Him,
Whose eyelids never slumber.

Drawled out in studied measure,

A JUDIcIous wIFs.-A judicious
wife is always nipping off from her
husbands moral nature little twigs
That arc growing in wrong d;rec-
tions. She keeps him in shape by
|, continual pruning. If you say
anything silly she will affection
ately tell you SO. If you declare
that you will do some absurd thing
she will find some means of pre-.
venting you doing it. And by far
the chief part of all the common
sense there is in this world belongs
unquestionably to women. Tie
wisest things man commonly does
are those which his wife counscls
him to do. A wife is q grand
wieider Of the moral pruning

called Royal Arch. In time this

and SO they made another hospital
arrangement and called it . Com
mandery. It took its name from
the original president, who was
reported to he ablo to command

add that this was q scnseless fic-
tion.
After the husbands had organ
lied their refugees, and called them
Masonic Lodges, in order to hide
their real character, they resolved
to institute system ofprevention.
To this end they organized in
profound secrecy. q crusade
against marriage. With this end in
view, young men were approached
and urged, by all their hopes Of
temporal comfort and eternal
salvation, not to marry. Numbers
of the rising generation were in
fiuenced by the terrible warnings
and sad experience of their mar

was thir banding together under

For some time Odd Fellowship
