MR. HILLS SPEECH.

The following extract is the con
clusion of Hon. B. III. Hills great,
Atlanta speech:
My Southern friends, how | take
comfort from that beautiful law of a
wise and merciful Providence, that
patient virtue, sooner or later, shall
have its reward. We have endured,
we have made mistakes, but all our
mistakes were on the side of liberty
and for what we believed was the
cause of constitutional government.
We have paid the penalty of our
mistakes most cruelty. Thank God,
there is logic in events which hu
man Intentions cannot control.
There is Providence in the world
which the human will cannot restrain;
one of them is that patient virtue,
enduring right, suffering courage,
shall one day have their reward. |
believe that day is dawning for us.
| believe the time is coming, if we
be true to ourselves, if we bury the
strifes of the past, and have but one
honest longing, earnest desire to re
store the constitution Of our fathers,
and preserve liberty for all, that we
shall find Northern men a great
cloud of witnesses at the North ri,
sing up for our rescue and ready to
accord us justice as patriots. When
the victory shall begin when the
sins of the Radical party shall once
begin to be exposed, oh, what infa-
my awaits them What pen can
describe itf We have only to re
cite record of their deeds, of their
violated oaths, Of their brutality, OF
their hypocrisy, to sink them deeper
into infamy than was ever visited
upon any party in history. AS they
shall sink, you shall rise. The re-
awakened and re>united patriotism
of all sections, will enkindle fame
in this country, that will burn up
forever all spirit of rebellion to the
Constitution and this American
Observation-Disclosures bigoted, SO
brutal, so insolent, will be brought
to the scaffold which himself has
erected for our common Constitution,
and Northern patriots will cry out,
'.Ict them be hanged, let them be
hanged -

LIVING on excitement is very ex-
pensive living.
THE stamp of civilization-The

There seems to be a tidal wave

"Too thin" has become obsolete.
''Not sufficiently matelialized" is the

"You are too per! entirely, Miss"
said teacher to a pupil. "Your

NEVER trust with secret mar

sister, and her sister will tell every

THERE'S where a man has the
advantage. He can undress in a
cold room and have his bed warm
before a woman has got her hair
pins out and her shoes united.
A genteel farmer in Massachu-
sets, a retired Bostonian, didn't
know how to take wagon wheel off
to grease the axle, and so he bored
holes through the hub and poured in
the grease.

Too Poor. -And now w. B. AS

dollars, pleads that he is too poor to
repair the hotel which bears his
family name. The rental of the
building is 100000 per annum, but
the owner says he is "too poor" to
make 100000 worth of improve
ments. Poor devil! What a

FARMERS AND NEWSPAPERS. We
have been frequently surprised to
see how many farmers, well to do in
worldly riches, neglect or refuse to
take some good newspaper for the
benefit Of himself and family. They
seem to think that they have no in
terest in the affairs of the outside
world; that they have to deal with
nothing except the land they pillow,
or the stock they feed, and the
children they are rearing in ignor>
ance. They forget that they are a
part of the great human family,
placed upon this orb to work out the
plans of the good and wise creator,
and as such have no right to hamper
the great streams of progress.
Newspapers are made to spread
intelligence and improve the morals
of mankind. To the farmer, above
all men, they shoOld be necessity,
from the very fact they afford him
in his isolated condition the only
means of mixing in the busy scenes
of life.
No farmer should do without this
social schooling, both for his own
good and that of his children; and
in no way can he obtain it so fully
and cheaply as through the newspa-
per and periodical literature of the
day and he who neglects to receive
these advantages deprives himself Of
light, and lives out his days in worse
than heather darkness. Subscribe

A FIERCE DEATH STRUGGLE.

The telegraph briefly mentioned
the other day an encounter in New
Orleans between VIM. Weeks, as
sistAnt Secretary Of State, and
George E Paris, tax collector Of
that city, both colored Republican
politicians, in which the former was
killed. Their qnsrrel was in re-
gard to an application for the posi-
ton of harbor master which had
been made to Kellogg by Paris, he
alleging that Weeks had interferred
to defeat him. Weeks answered
Paris accusation by calling him a
dirty liar. This was followed by
one Of the fiercest death struggles
ever witnessed. The first display OF
arms was made by Weeks, who
snapped his pistol three times at his
opponent and then rushed upon him,
dealing him terrible blow upon the
head. Paris drew bowie-knife in
the fight and cut his antagonist sew
eral times in the back and sides,
and completely severed the muscles
and arteries of his arms. Weeks at
length sank to the floor, but rising
again rushed upon Paris only to re-
ceive the knife again in his side
Ly ing PROSTATE, with Paris standing
over him, Weeks made several at
tempts to rise, but was each time
stabbed by his murderer, and soon
dropped dead.

HIS TIME FOR FIDDLING.

A Bible canvasser, after visiting
every store around the square, call
ed into a house on a certain street
yesterday to see if he couldn't sell a
book. A small girl opened the door
in answer to his knock, and just as
he entered a man sitting on the
edge of demonstrating bed raised
a fiddle to his shoulder and COM
menced scraping out tune.
"Have you a Bible in the house 7
asked the canvasser as he crossed
the floor.
"Nary Bible" answered the man /;
and he kept on Gdding and singing
"OlG Dan Tucker
Dreampt dream"
"Or a hymn-b book 7" continued
the canvasser.
"No-nary, and
Ifyou love me Molie, darling,
Let your answer bs a kiss"
81 am agent for the sale of this
Bible" said the canvasser, taking
the volume out of his satchel.
Couldn't buy one cover, and
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Signing for the old folks at home.'
81 can sell you the book for a
small amount down and the balance
in weekly payments. A great
many"
"Bibuls are all right, but I've got
sore foot, and
Twas a calm still night
And the moons rale light"
"If you don't careIto read the book
yourself you should not refuse your
child permission" remarked the
canvasser.
Sand the old woman up stairs,
sick with the fever, and -
They took her off to Georgia
To toll her life away"
"But it seems hard to think that
you are permitting yourself and
family to live in ignorance of relig-
ion"
"Bibuls is all right, and Id en-
courage 'em if times wasn't SO blasts
ed
Hal ha! ha! you and me-
Little brown jug don't love thee!
81 have smaller addition like
this. You can have that by paying
fifty cents down and twenty FIVE
cents per week until paid up"
"No use stranger" replied the
man "there baint nothing to do,
money is tight, and
I've wandered this wide world
All over"
81 wish you would stop that fid-
ding and singing for a moment and
let me talk to you,"
"Ribuls are all right, you is all
right, and
Oh this world is sad and dreary,
Eyerywhere roam"
"Won't you stop fur just one mo
ment n
"l'd like TO oblige, but now's my
reg'lar time for fddling and singing
and
Up in a balloon, boys,
Up in a balloon"
"Then l can't sell you Bible 7"
"Don't look as if you could, for
I've wandered through the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath the tree"
And the canvasser left the room
in despair.

"Wall, stranger" said back
woodsman to a man whom the land
lord of the hotel both were stopping
at had detailed to sleep with him
oval, stranger, I've no objection to
you sleeping with me, none in the
least, but it seems to me the bed is
rather narrow for you to sleep COM
Portable considering how dream.
You see / am an old trapper, and
generally dream of shootin' and
scalpin' Injuns. Where | stopped
night before last they charged me
five dollars extra, cause happened

night. But you can come stranger

The Milwaukee News gives its
readers this bit of reasonable advice
"Getting up in cold room to make
fire is like getting up in life.' If
you crawl timidly cut of bed, go on
tip>toe to the stove, and allow the
shivers to get control of you before
kindling starts, your fire will prob
ably be a failure, and you will half
freeze to death in the operation.
But if you jump up bravely, hustle
around, pull on your clothes, knock
over chair or two, pitch in the
stove,wood, you will probably be
too warm by the time the fire gets
to burning, and have to open wins
dow. So is life. Attack it timidly
and you will fail. Grapple with it,
hurry up things, stir around, con-
quer fortune, and you will be sue
cess"
