1t will be source Of pride to every citizen
of our State to know that this book was written
| by son Of Georgia..
The author has more than fulfilled the ex.
pectations, which were created by two former
publications on tue Archaeology of the South
err States, and has produced a work so learned.
so exhaustive, that out little remains to be ac-
complished by any successor in this field of
| literature
The reader is carried back to the days when
| forests of the South, sped in his light canoe
over our beautiful rivers sought for game upon
the mountains aud in the valleys, and engaged
in fierce conflicts with neghboring but hostile
tribes.
1t requires some effort of the imagination
to compass the fact that within'the memory Of
some now living, this beautiful Cherokee coun-
try with its porulons towns and agricultural
improvements, and railroad facilities, and
mineral wealth Manufacturing interests was

| attained in less than half a century

ceeded us, is fast fading away into oblivion,
and we are thankful 10 the distinguished au-
thor for Selling hold Of what yet remains o
this almost extinct people, and preserving i
in history for future generations.

Revenue Raid.

The revenue law ruust be regarded SO long
as II ia law. and the surest plan is alS ways to
be in the right Notwithstanding the lany ar
rests. trials, imprisonments and fines. there are
man who will continue to distill whisk y in Sc
cluded hooks IN the mountains and in secret
places in the swamps, hugging the delusive
hone that they may evade detection and con-
tinue in business that will prove profit
able pecunarily. The most difficult thing
about it is, while whisky may be distilled on
the sly, without paying the required revenue,
vet getting it to market and disposing of it in
the same manner is quite risk and more liza
BILE TO detection than might be supposed. Its
true many people regard this law as oppress-
i've unjust and mean, and to defeat and elude
;ts exactions is deemed fair and right, but still,
taking this view of it, when detected. does not
relieve them of the penalties the law imposes.
The officers are ever on the alert; 1t is their
| business. their occupation, and they regard the
whole matter in different light from those
who make aud sell it. The whisky traffic is very
extensive, and the government unwilling to
suppress 1t, (for Congressman love whisky,)
| have dubbed it necessary evil and placed
a tax upon it. as it has done upon other trattics.
| On last Tuesday conntryman, from one OF
the counties close by. stopped his two OK team
on the square, in this city, bnt Revenue Officer,
Whitmore, was on the alert, and owner team
and one hundred fifty gallons of whisky were
captnrad. We did not learn his name.

acre Of growing wheat on this calculation, draws
and passes out about ten tons of water per day
The sap of plants is the medium through which
this mass of fluid is conveyed. 1t forms a deli

Flax Yarns.

The fine linen Of the north of Ireland was Cor
merly made from handspun thread. Some of the
young women "spinsters," as they were called
became very dexterous with the wheel and dis

thread Of extreme fiueness Her 'long drawn
out thread weighed but ten grains to the hank
of $40 yards, or 76s hanks to pound ; and thus
a pound Of her yarns would stretch nearly 400
miles. The word spnster, the legal definition
of an unmarried woman even now, came into
use from the fact that an intended bride was not
qualified for her position until she had spun suf.
hcien' yarn to supply all the household linen for
her new bone. Then the daughters of the kings
were not exempt from this responsibility, for the
queens had to provide the linen clothing for all

FooD MEDICINE. On. HALL relates
tho case Of a man who was cured of bill

drinking freely of lemonade. Every motu-
ing, save the doctor, this patient arose with
wonderful sense Of rest and refreshments;
and feeling as though the blood had been
literally washed, cleansed and cooled by
the lemonade and the fast. His theory is
that food will be used as remedy for r,any
diseases successfully. AS an example, he
cures cases Of splitting blood by the use Of

The island OF Ceylon abounds in vegetable Gu

two facts have caused it TO receive the name OF
