IS IT WORTH wHILEl

And is it worth while to take ali
the sunshine out Of life for the sake
of few miserable dollarS7 Meat and
groceries, and coal aod clothing are
not all of life If we restrict our
selves to these, and shut out music
and pictures, and the hundred things
that cultivate the aesthetic side Of our
nature, we shall be economical at the
cost If dwarfng our moral and intel
lectual nature. And after we have
done this for a long serious of years,
and reached middle age with fair
balance in the bank, we shall then
find ourselves upilted to enjoy the
pleasures that money will buy. We
shall then keep the dusty road SO long
that when we finally turn aside into
the groves and the brock side, our
eyes will be 10 no condition to see
the beauties around US. Is it not
better to live while wo do live, to give
some brightness and color to our dali
~ lives, even if by so doing we fail
to increase our boarded savings quite
as rapidly as we otherwise might.
Is economy quite worth the sacrifice
Of everything that makes life other
than dull and dismal drudgery?
A wise expenditure of money for the
good things of lie is really the best
ecGuCmy.

INSANITY.

MRs LINCOLN, widow of President
Abraham Lincoln, has been adjudged
insane, and sent to the insane hospit-
al at Batavia, Illinois. At the an
nouncemeut of the verdict Of "insane
in the court room at Chicago on
Wednesday, Robert Lincoln, her son,
took hold of his mother atfectionately.
Then she exclaimed with rcproach-
ful tone, cob, Robert, to think that
my son would ever have done this y
(It was on Roberts petition the eX-
animation was had) There were
few spectators in court. She after
wards attempted to commit suicide,

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

The Cincinnati Times says, q
freight conductor, L. Averill, fell
across the rail at Wells river, and
the wheels Of car weighing 1880
pounds passed obliquely over his
body, and over the leg, some six in
ches below the hip. When the wheels
passed over, Averill listened for the
crushing Of the bones, but they did
not break but the wheel of the
truck, following almost instantly, he
felt sure would cut the legs off. But
the wheel passed over, and before
the rear trucks had reached him, he
sprang out and was standing bolt
upright. For FIVE minutes he felt no
pain, but since then the pain has
been almost uncomfortable, and he has
been kept under the influence Of
opiates. Two jack knives in his
pockets were bent nearly double,
1t is supposed that the hapge Of the
wheels struck upon these kniyss first
and passed up to the top Of the leg,
aud thus avoided the shearing effect
of the hange upon the rail. The
skin upon his person was not broken,
but the Aange broke the tissue Of the
flesh on the top of the legs, and IN
derneath the rail sank into the flesh,
leaving its mark distinct. Mr..
Averill, if carefully attended, will
get along. This is the only case
on record where a car has run over
mans legs leaving the bones per-
fectly unframed.

THE CENTENNIAL

An old correspondence, dating
back over year, between Governor
Smith and Secretary Fish, has just
been published in which the latter
through an alleged clerical mistake
forwarded the odious test oath for
Hon. Gee. Hillyer to subscribe TO
before he could receive his papers as
commissioner for Georgia at the
Philadelphia Centennial ia 1876.
Gov. Smith returned the papers and
gave a singing and scathing rebuke
to Fish, stating that it virtually ex>
cluded the Southern States from par
ticipation. An apology and modi-
fed oath was sent and Col. lIillyer
is now acting as commissioner. We
would be glad to see the passions Of
the war buried and genuine friend
ship exist between the two sections,
bat we have always looked upon this
Centennial as a private corporation,
requiring no oath TO act as agent,
gotten up to mako money and glori-
fy radicalism, and where the South
ern people will be denounced and
the Northern soldier praised. We
hope our distrust is i'll founded and
that the centennial will prove a
peace jubilee in which everybody
can rejoice and nobody be offend
ed.
We see it announced that Con
gresham Lamar Of Mississippi, is to
be one Of the orators, and Gen. Jos.
+. Johnston as master of ceremon-
les. OF course this is done to res
ceive Southern support. 1t indI-
Gates a better sentiment and we
hope pure motive prompted the
appointments.

MECKLENBURG.

The Mecklenburg Centennial eel
ebration held at Charlotte, \. c., on
the goth, was a grand affair and a
colossal success. Governors, Gen>
erals and vast crowd Of people
from everywhere, present, Milita>
ny and fire companies were numer-
Gus. Music firing of guns, great
rejoicing and speech making pre-
vailed in honor of one hundred years
ago when the patriotic people OF
Mcckienburg had the courage to de-
clare their sovereign independence
and throw off the British yoke. 1t
was a notable occasion in the history
Of tue OLD North State. We regret
to learn during the artillery firing,
a couple Of premature explosions oc-
Cured, blowing one mans arm of
and msngling another's hand, neces-
stating amputotion. Liberal con
tributions were given to the suffer
ers. Those Of our citizens who at
tended, were well pleased with then

ORGANIZATION.

Our opinion is that the result of the
late Congressional election in this
District will be to strengthen the or
ganization. People will hereafter
attend primary meetings. Large
numbers of Democrats in the upper
counties neglected to vote from a sup
position that their votes were not
needed to secure the election Of the
nominee. From one fourth to one
third of the Democratic vote was not
polled from this cause. They will
not be so negligent in the future.
While We have several citizens
worthy to receive the gubernatorial
nomination, we do not make the nomi-
nation of any one of them condition
of our fidelity to the Democracy.
Nor will any bolter, calling himself
an independent candidate meet with
any countenance from the true De-
mocracy of the District.-Roa'c Com
mercial.
We agree with you, but think
North Georgia, with her predomi-
nant white population, have men
entitled to consideration. and who
are intellectually and morally the
peers of any Of The distinguished
gentlemen mentioned from Lower
Georgia for Gubcrnatorlal honors.
A selection of the next Governor
from this section would allay much
bad feeling that may possibly exist,
win the good faith of dissenters, aud
make Georgia Democracy impreg-
nable for all time to come. We
cherish such hope.
But let US be prudent and act for
the good of the entire people, re-
gardlesa Of preiudices, personal
preferences, or geographical loca-
tion.

PUNISHMENT FOR Hoe STEALING.
Uuder the laws Of Georgia it is made
the same as cattle stealing-not less
than two nor more than four years
in the penitentiary, unless the jury
trying the case, shall recommend
the prisoner to mercy. In the latter
case the punishment is fine not to
exceed S coo, imprisonment in the
common jail not exceeding 6 months,
or labor in the chain gang not ex>
ceeding twelve months = one or more
Of these punishments in the discre.
ton Of the court. If such laws as
these were enforced, it would be idle
to say that hogs cannot be raised in
this State as well as cotton. The
feecy staple can be stolen as we'll as
bacon. - Columbus Enquirer.

GENERAL SHERMAN.

ooh that mine enemy would write a book.
GENERAL SHERMAN's "Mcmoirs Of
the War; which have jISt come out
in book form, are exciting great
sensation in military circles in Wash
ington. The Immediate result will
be q mass OF controversial literature
on the subject, such as has not been
brought out by any publication since
the close of the war. Gen. Logan
in particular is furiously angry at
Sherman's comments on him, and will
reply at length and with great bitter
ness. Other generals, whose repu-
tations are affected by Sherman's
statements, viii publish statements in
indications of themselves.
