HON. WIN. d. ANDERSON PoR
SPEAKER.


II is but natural that Bill Ander-
sou, as he is familiarly called, should
oe our first choice for Speaker Of the
next House of Representatives. lie
is our townsman, our friend, and a
favorite with our people. Gifted,
amiable, and upright, we have
cheerfully honored him in the past,
aud in return for the confidence Ct
his fellow-citizens, no has proved
true and faithful in every position to
which he has been called. He is
eminently qualified, by ability, ex-
perience, and just mindedness for the
office of Speaker of the House. We
do not sag,t that Cobb County should
lHfsy 'r,ass D - furnishing tho pre-
siding officer of the House, but we
do say, that it is high time that up
per Georgia should receive some lit
tie attention in the distribution Of
offices and honors. In tho election
of candidates for Governor--in the
appointment of Judges Of the Su-
preme court--in the election Of State
House officers, and in the selection
of Speakers, Cherokee Georgia has
been ignored, and her citizens have
been pushed aside.
If we remember slightly, she has
been run over in everything, since
the war, except President Q. the
State Senate, and clerk Of the Honse
of Representatives. Columbus, Au-
gusta and Macon, have each furnish
ed a Speaker, and each time, the
men presented and honored could
not justly lay claimso greater ability,
experience, or services to the State,
than that possessed aud rendered by
William ID. Anderson. And in say
ing this, we are not disparaging any
of these gentlemen. 1t 10 no dis
praise of them to say, that Bill An
derson 10 the peer Of any of them.
In the approaching contest for
Speaker, Macon vaults to the front
with two candidates, both of whom
have been Speaker, aud one of whom
is known to be an aspirant for Gu
bernatorial honors two years hence.
If Macon and her people have exclu-
siye title, by letters patent, to all the
offices Of the commonwealth, why
we plain and inferior people will
have 20 stand aside aud simpl join
in tiinging up hats-bus in all kind
ness and with due appreciation of the
ability and cleverness of Messrs. Ba
con and Hardeman, we must be al.
lowed to say that we contest their
title, and insist upon the claims of our
section and our meu to some little
consideration. We ask, and have a
right to ask the Representatives of
tie people OF middle and lower Geor-
gia, to unite with US in making Viii
liam ID. Anderson speaker, and thus
do upper Georgia an act of simple
justice.

THE HONEY BIRD.

Talking of wasps brings up the subject
Of honey. l believe it is not generally
known that in the interior of Africa there
is a small fly that makes honey in large
quantities, as good, if not better than that
Of the bee. l have often eaten it while
shooting. This little fly bores a minute
hole in the earth eighteen to twenty inch
es deep, which it lines with clay. 1t then
forms round lump as largo as a turnip,
the she'll being Of hard earth or clay
bound together with some sticky sub
stance, and the inside pure honey. 1t is
very liquid, ard has q slightly acid
taste, and, though rather difficult
TO eat without getting any earth in ones
mouth, is capital, and well worth the
trouble of digging up. The place is found
(like a bees nest,) by seeing the fly alight
and 90 down the mouth Of the little hole,
and it is curious that the honey bird new
or leads one to it.
The way this little bird, which some
what resembles our water wagtail, fol-
lows and persecutes any human being,
it may see until it gets them to follow, is
one Of the most curious things in natural
history. 1t makes q sharp chitter, fitting
in front from tree to tree, coming back
every now and then to see that you are
going in the right direction until you get
into the neighborhood of the nest, when,
after telling you, by slight change in its
demeanor, that you are close to the spot,
it flies off to a neighboring tree, and
watches your operations. Failing bees
nest it may take you to anything unus-
ual it may soe-a large snake, tiger, OF
even a human being. Game in the much
hunted districts learn to connect the chit
ter Of this bird with the presence Of man,
and keep a sharp lookout when they hear
+ it.-Ldld and Water.

CAUGHT AND COBNERED.-At Big
Creek, Arkansas, they have peculiar
fashion which proves embarassile to
strangers. As there is no preacher with
in thirty miles Of the place, the way ar
ranged for marrying is by kissing across
a table. Recently, New York drum
mer was out there on business. lie put
up at a private house, and became quite
intimate with the family. One evening
he was fooling around one Of the girls,
pinching her, and generally trying the
extent of her sweet temper, when she
gave his whiskers a pull, and, ran. lie
followed. She got the table between
them. He chased her around it several
times. When out of breath he stopped
on one side Of the table, and she stopped
on the other. He looked at her for n
minute, and, making a wild plunge,
caught her in his arms and gave her
hearty kiss. She then sat down on the
sofa with him, and they talked pleasantly
for couple of hours-he thinking it sin
gular that she should sit up so late. At
last she said, Don't you think it's about
time we won't to bed?" 81 guess you're
right" he remarked. Lets 60" She
lit a candle, and he was about to do the
same, when she said, D." reckon ones
enough. One candle will light two folks
to bed" Undoubtedly it would" said
the drummer, "Whon those two people oc-
cupy the same room. But your candle
won't illuminate my chamber. The wall
between the two apartments isn't good
light conductor" "Ain't we agoin' to
occupy the same room? Amt we mar
ried?" asked the lady. "Ain't we what?"
shouted the gentleman. married :"
she replied !; u" didn't you kiss me across
the table? That married u.s." A cold
sweat spread over the drummer. He
knew that if he said he wasn't married
to her sho mould make an outcry, and
then her loving and much tobacco-con-
suming father would arise in his wrath
and carve him into outlets with an CAR
kansas toothpick," and her brothers
would bring down their shot-guns and
empty the contents into him. lie must
be strategic, lie must put her off. So
he said, " Fairest Of your sex, permit
me to remark that L did not know that
kissing across the table constituted mar
riago ceremony. But | am content. l
have never seen one who so completely

would never think of holding you to this
marriage until | had asked the pormis =
sion Of your father to pay my addresses
to you. Tomorrow, at dinner, when the
entire family are present | will propose
for your fair hand" This satisfied the
lady, and, after bestowing upon him q
feryent kiss, she went to her room, and
he went to his. He packed his carpet
bag, took off his boots, and made tracks
for the nearest railroad station. lie did
not feel entirely safe until he reached
st. Louis. He hasn't informed his wife
of that little adventure. He's afraid she
might write out to Arkansaw for the
