n. Wilson, and her step-daughter, Miss
Fannie Wilson, passed through Atlanta
few days ago en-route for their home III
Mobile. Mrs. Wilson has been north after
her daughter, who has just graduated;
and for the further purpose Of seeing her
publishers, Messrs G. w. Carlton & Co. ,
relative to the publication OF a novel
which she has just completed-having
finished the concluding chapter while
stopping over few minutes at Niagara
Falls only few days ago. The novel, as
yet, has not been named, but will be re-
vised and placed in the hands OF the pub
fishers in time for the fall trade. 1t is
possible that this may be the last work

Advice to Young Men.

Foolish spending is the father Of pow
erty. Do not be ashamed of work, nor Of
hard work. Work for the wages you can
get, but work Tor hall price rather than
be idle. Be your own master, and do not
let society or fashion swallow up your in
dividuality-hat, coat and boots. Com
pei your selfish body 10 spare something
for profits saved. Be stingy to your me-
cessities. See that yon are proud. Let
your pride be OF the right kind. Be too
proud to be lazy; to. Ptosd~ .giseaup
without couquering every difficulty too
proud to wear a coat that you cannot af-
ford to buy; too proud to be in company
you cannot keep with in expenses; too
proud to lie or steal or cheat; too proud
to be stingy Be man and determined
to fill well vacant space which nature
has left empty and open for you. Act,
do, perform. All nature is moving; you
move also, but move under the control OF
your thankful brain power; aim high and
work for the success Of your aims-then
will your success be certain.

The Country Press.

There are few people who do the coun-
try press full justice. Most everybody is
inclined to look away over the shoulders
of the country editor, to some paper
printing more reading matter. and then
make comparisons. There are people
who actually believe it is impossible to
find. a person with common sense, with
industry or with brains in the Office of q
country newspaper; newspaper can
have no charms for them unless it can be
mystifed under a strange personality, and
in buying a copy they proceed upon the
same grounds as in the purchase of bar
of soap-they would rather have one
that comes from the city, because it must
necessarily be 90 much better in every
sense than a home production. The
same man would laugh at you if you
should refuse to pstronize the cross roads
mill, because you believe you had rather
get your -four from the city. The coun>
try newspaper is one of the most impor-
tant attributes of every town in the United
States. When a colony settles anywhere
with the intention Of building a village,
the first thought is newspaper; the
press is thus in the very vanguard of civ
ilization. 1t is the useful agent in every
place of progress and growth. There is
not another single power that can do so
much good patient work in the way of
building up as the local newspaper. 1t
is not altogether important how it is edi-
ted, whether with ability or not, so that
# be conducted with an industry and en-
terprise at least side by side with the
town-if it can afford to keep few years
in advance it is all the better. A country
paper that had little else than ADVERTISE
ments would be an immense help to any
place, for advertisements constitute a
most reliable index to the character, size,
business and general condition Of the
town. To the stranger who may have
looked in a prospective way upon place,
the advertisements are the invalible part
Of the papers that have been sent him.
Without newspaper, with its local news
and business announcements, what would
the average American city or village be?
It would surely be unknown ofits neigh
bors. sr.t. ...
The country weeklies ought to be the
best supported newspapers Of the whole
land, for they contain news and gossip
that cannot be found in any of the city
dailies. The farmer can learn from his
local paper-if he prefers to take it in
stead of some more expensive publication
how much his neighbours sixty-acre
farm sold for, how the schools are pros
pering, the price of butter and eggs at
the village market, and what improve
ments are in progress through the Sec
ton in which he lives. He can get none
Of this in the city paper, and he cannot
be a thoroughly useful citizen without
such items of light information. 1t is
not always that the best towns support
the best newspapers, but it is strictly a
fact that no place ever gets the credit Of
being thrifty or enterprising until it eau
send out first.class paper. and that al
ways depends more upon the people than
the editor. Fort Scott Monitor.

They Deserve Encouragement.

We are glad to notice so many eviden.
ces of the desire Of a large class of our
colored people to be Industrious and
thrifty. These evidences are particularly
noticeable a mile or SO from town, on
every side, where honest, Woodworking
colored men have rented strips of land

honestly earn their living and to build
themselves up in the world, they deserve

From ROwell's Reporter:
"ONLY A PRINTER.

"only printer" fair maid said
As she haughtily tossed her golden head.

And holding posts that they had not held.

And finally crossed the raging sea,
And wandered around in the "old countries"
One morn a. he smoked contemplative pipe,
Pausing, the tears from his eyes to wipc,-
For he thought of the golden head that was
tossed
BY the maiden that he in his youth had lost
He suddenly thought he would take sh ave,
For shorn men always appear most grave.
He entered the shop, and cast his eye
Upon the barber, who sat close by.

Anecdotes Of Henry Clay,

From st. Nicholas for July.
Mr.. CIay's knowledge of huInaa nature
was thorough and profound; and he was
able to put it to use at any moment, as
the following anecdotes will show:
On q certain occasion he met an old
hunter, who had once been his supporter,
but who afterwards went against him on
account Of hIs vote on certain bill in
Congress.
Have you a good rife, my friend?" he
asked of the hunter.
"Yes." ..-

hunter answered, proud of his weapon.

NO I'll pick the flint and try you,
again" So the hunter grasped Mr..
Clsy's hand and gave him his vote.
At another time Clay was visiting q
bsckwoods county in Kentuck, where the
man who could fire the best shot stood
highest in esteem, and the man who
couldn't fire at all was looked down on
sith contempt. He was csnvassing fol
votes, when he was approached by some
old hunters, one of whom told him be
would be elected to Congress, but that be

Clay declared that he never shot with

Scientific Rascaltty I'm Commerce.


1t is no longer a secret of the chemists
laboratory that clear golden syrups can
be made from starch and sulphuric acid;
that delicious wines and brandies can be
made from beet root with eithers for fla
vors; that a barrel of peanuts can be
transformed into excellent coffee; that
lard can absorb an enormous quantity OF
water in certain conditions; that, in fact,
there seems no limit to the authorizations
that an intelligent and dishonest chem-
list cannot practice upon his fellow-men.
All these marvels Of chemical science
have in these latter days become degraded
into mere tricks of trade, and their chief
beauty is in the capacity to enable uu-
scrupulous dealers to tighten the pockets
and destroy the stomachs ofthe confiding
and consuming public. Concerning the
article Of champagne, q writer in the
Portland Star tell us that it is made from
a thousand different substances-even re-

new use for petroleum, which those who

mostly worthless, may not some day be
regenerated into the great champagne
producing country of the world.

Discovery or nm Unknown Island, Peo-
pied by the Crew ola Vessel that was
Cast Away I'm 1850.
New Orleans Picsyune.
About q month ago d friend of Mrs.
Harmon Jones read in an English paper
the account of some British vessel hav>
ing been driven out of her course in a
storm and sighted an unknown island.
Much 10 the surprise Of the crew the is.
land turned out to be inhabited, and still
more astonishing, by men who spoke the
English language. The rest of the story
as given in the paper referred to is that the
castaways told the ships company that
they were the Flofinda party who had
sailed from New Orleans in l849 bound
for California, that they had been wrecked
on the island and had dwelt there ever
since, it being then more than twenty
five years that they have not seen hu'
man face or a sign Of the world from
which they we're so utterly eliminated.
The paper gave the names Of several, all
of whom are known to have been of the
FIorinds's crew, and in many other ways
according to the version of Mrs Jones
friend, the identity of the party was es-
tablished, as none but themselves could
have established it. II was further stated
that the British vessel offered to take the
men on board but they declined, saying
they had been lost for quarter ola Gen.
tury; that they knew not in what situa-
ton they would find the families they
had left, and that they preferred staying
and ending their days there rather than
venture back to such doubtful and un-
certain future. This paper was foul
months old when Mrs Jones friend saw
it one month ago, and the events narrated
were described as having occurred foul
months previous to the issue of the paper
1t is just nine months then since the is
land was discovered by the British vessel
and at that time all or nearly all Of the
Florinda party appear to have been alive
1t need not be said that this news has
aroused the deepest interest To the com
munity at large it recalls the familiar oc
currence of the Florinda's sailing from
New Orleans with its adventurous compa'
nv. To the families of the Inflated men
it comes like g message from another
world. and is as though it we're an an
nouncemen; Of a resurrection. Within
the past few days the relatives have
been living in a state Of con-
slant excitement and many OF
them, especially the sons Of Harmon
Jones, John A. Sidney and Captain Ken
mure. the skipper of the Florinda, have
devoted themselves to the task of follow
ing the clue given by the friends who saw
the English paper. Extensive inquiries
are now on foot, and the British Consul
has kindly interested himselfin the affair
so far as to agree to forward to the Wal
Office, in London, a statement of the cir
cumstances, so that the name Of the yes
sci which touched at the castaway'f
home can be ascertained, and the bear
ings of the island taken from her log.

Desperate Encounter with a burglar

The latest unsuccessful attempt at
burglary possesses some exciting features.
The field Of the burglars operations was
a country store in Morreston, N. Y, a
small hamlet on the Midland railroad,
in which sleeps a young clerk named
Denham. The local paper says "A
large amount OF money was left in the
safe of the store on Saturday night last,
and about midnight Denham was
awakened by footsteps in the store He
at once seized his revolver and a dirk
knife and ran down stairs, where a ter
rible struggle ensued in the dark. Dem
ham first fred at the burglar, who there
upon seized the clerk and dealt him a
staggering blow on the head. Denham
succeeded in throwing the burglar, who,
however, quickly recovered himself and
began showering blows upon Denham's
head with his billy. Denham placed his
revolver. as he thought. against the bur-
glars side and fired. Denham thought
he had killed him, but the next instant
be heared the burglar cock bis pistol,
and exclaim, with an oath, If that's the
game We might as well end this Dem
ham received a severe wound in the
hand, and the next moment the burglar
plunged his knife twice into Denham' 4
shoulder, twice into his breast, and then,
deliberately feeling for his heart, thrust
the knife at that. The dirk entered just
below the heart. being wsrded off by a
rib. Beyond this Denham remembers
but little, and when he recovered con-
seriousness. he was lying in pool of blood
on the floor near the counter. He soon
afterwards became delirious, and little
hopes are entertained of his recovery
Eight serious wounds were found in hi.
body and three Of his ribs were broken,
Tit floor of the store was literally GOV
cred with blood, and blood spots wer,
discovered along the road by which tn,
, burglar escaped"
