The Hon. VIM. Hsrtzcll has introduced
bill to have this State divided into three
Cnitel States judicial dist riots. The Pc
oria Democrat charges the Hon. II. IL.
Whiting, member from the Peoria district
to keep wide awake, and reminds him
that one Of the issues ION which he was
elected. and for which it was claimed that
every Peorian ought to vote for him, W
respective Of politics, was that lie was Il
have new United States court district
established, and Peoria selected As the
place for holding court in the new dis,
trict. Dispatches do not say what are
the provisions Of the bill offered by Mr..
Hartzsll, As to the places of holding the
court In the three districts, but we fear
the bill comes from the wrong end of the
State to aagur much good for Peoria, as
1t would b. but natural that coming
from that quarter it would provide fol
some southern point az the new location
for court sessions"

who are Your Aristocrats /?

Twenty years ago this me made
candles, and that one sold cheese and
butter, another butcbered, and a
fourth thrived on a distillery, another
was q contractor on canals, others
were merchants and mechanics.
They are acquitted with both ends of
society, as their children will be
after them-tbough it will not do to
say so aloud for often we shall find
that the toiling worms batch gay
butterfies-and they live about a
year. Death bring a division in
property, and it briags new inan-
ciers the old gent is discharged, the
young gent takes his revenues, and
begins 10 travel-toward poverty,
which ne reaches before death, or his
children do, if be does not. So that,
10 fact, there is a sort of moneyed
race; it is not hereditary ; it is ac-
cessible to all. Three good seasons
Of cotton will send o generation of
men up-a score Of years will bring
them all down, and send their chill
dren to labor. The father grubs and
grows ricL; the children strut, and
spend the money. The children in turn
inherit the prize, and go to shiftless
poverty /; next their children reinvig-
Grated by plebeian blood, and by the
smell OF the clod, come again. Thus
society, like a tree, draws it's sap
from the earth, changes it into leaves,
and spreads them abroad in great
glory sheds them off to return TO
the earth again TO mingle with the
soil, and at length to reappar in new
address and fresh garniture.

Rubber Horse shoes

The following, which we take froa
that excellent periodical, the Lirt
Stock JcurRal, sets forth the value o.
rubber horse shoes, which will IN.
d%oubtedly prove a great boon tC
horsemen If they are what is claimed
for them:
Rubber overshoes for horses are q
recent invention. The shoe is made
and lined in precisely similar manner
to the articles worn by the human
race, aud, in fact, presents no points
of difference ave in shape end its
manufacture of the best quality OF
India rubber. 1t is designed as a
substitute for the iron shoe, and as q
means Of preventing the many mala-
dies to which horses feet are subject.
Horses suffering with cracked or con.
tracted hoof, and similar painful
hurts, it is said, are quickly cured by
the substitution eftbe rubber cover
ing for the unyieldiDg metal shoes.
The device is easily removed from
or put on Lie hoof, and hence, while
standing in the stall or turned out to
pasture, the horse may be left bare
footed. As compared with iron
shoes, the cost Of the rubber is about
one-third more, and their weight is
forty per cent. less, while they are
very durable. Sixteen sizes are man.
ufactured, so that accurate fits may
be obtained.

a B00t-Rack.

One Of the greatest troubles of the
neat housewife in the country results
from muddy boots of those members
Of the family who have to work ia
the fields, the stables and the barn.
yard. The wet boots must be dried
and are generally left under the kitch-
en- stove, where their presence is very
disagrceable. Now to have a neat
kitchen, there should be q boot-rack
placed the stove in which the damp
boots are placed to dry. Such a contri-
rivancc vii lie a great convenience.
1t has three shelves about four feet
long. ten inches wide, and placed a
foot apart. At one end q boot-iark
is fixed by hinges so that, when no;
in use, it is folded against one end of
the rack and held By a button. At
the front is a stand for cleaning boots,
which also folds up when not in use,
and the blackening brushes are placed
on the shelves behind the stand, and
are out Of sight, and when folded
they hang down out of the way.
The rack should be made Of dressed
pine boards. and stained some dark,
durable color.

where the Cap Went

A dealer in sportmen's goods in
Cleveland, Ohio, was called upon
last April to examine a breech-load-
ing gun. He fired several blank
cartridges, and while removing the
supposed empty shells accidentally
exploded one which still contained
some Of its original filing. The ceD
few of, struck him in the eve, and
inflicted a severe wound, but could
not afterward be found. a skillful
ocnlist was applied to, who succeeded
in saving the eye, and no further
trouble was experienced until lately,
when the wound began to be painful,
and another examination vas made.
1t finally became necessary to remove
the eyebsll, which upon dissection,
was found to contain The exploded
cap carefully embedded in it.

Large Negro EMIGRATION.

The Atlautl Herald says: While
our reporter was out on his enstnma-
ry beat" yesterday, be CHANGED to
fail in with some emigrant agents
whom he pumped successfully
They toink Georgia emigration this
spring will be very large They d.
vide The tide Of emigration into two
streams, u a dark stream, composed
of negroes, flowing to Mississippi
and Louisiana, and the other Is a
clearer and purer stream which will
empty itself into Texas. In answer
to our argumen: that farming paid
better 10 Georgia than either Missis-
sippi or Texas, and that our labor
seemed to be satisfied, they said that
labor was dissatisfied, and besides
there being a greater demand for la
Dor in those States, there was also
well organized and wealthy emigra-
ton societies in these States that
were Offering inducements for emil
grafton that would be responded to
by the class of labor sought by eth
er State.
In Mississippi they need labor to
repair the levecs along the river, and
as the negroes were the best adapted
for this work the State Emigration
Association is doing everything in its
power 10 entice Cuffee from this
State there. To accomplish this
they have flooded our Stale with col
ored agents, who are meeting with
wonderful success in convincing
Cuffee that Mississippi is the prom
ised land. One of the most promi-
nent agents is Jacobs, an educated
preacher, who takes the political sit
uation Of the Georgian and the rights
of the negro in Mississippi for his
text. His brief stay in Atlanta aud
his convention speeches will give
you some idea Of his influence with
our colored labor. Pledger, the
Athens boy, has a large influence in
some sections. lie will not carry
less than 500 people from the State
inside of the next two months. The
advlces we have from Southwest
Georgia are that at least o%ne-third Of
the negroes will drift with the
stream, which has already COM
menced flowing from northern Geor-
gia into Mississippi.
