The Judges of the Supreme Court
of Georgia have arrived at decision
which, for wonder, is governed
more by reason and common sense
than by precedent. They believe
that man to be too drunk to form
the intent to kill, must be too drunk
to form the intent to shoot. This de-
cision knocks away prop on which
many gentlemanly murderers have
been leaning, believing that they
could prove themselves to have been
too drunk to think of killing while
sober enough to handle fire arms and
take aim at victim.

SAYS the San Francisco Post: The
industrial outlook Of the Pacific slope
was never better than at the present
moment. The growing crops every
where promise bountiful harvest,
and the rainfall, with a few excep-
tons, has been ample. Of the agri-
cultural sections which complain of
want of rain mp to date, the princi-
pal are Solano, Contra Costa and
Santa Clara, with Yolo and Stani-
slaus; but even these complaints are
qualified and the general tone is
much more cheerful than it has been
for several months past. Rain has
fallen everywhere in the State, and
the growing crops make good show
ing. Feed is becoming plentiful,
and with the usual spring rains there
is no reason for apprehending any
loss to stockmen the coming season.

Ancient and Modern Customs.

Modern customs, like the races, find their
origin in the gloom of paganism. Civiliza-
ton has done much to modify both, yet Is
there sufficient left to tell of their signif-
canoe and origin.
1t is said st. Patrick banished from Ireland
ali the snakes. Far back into the centuries
that people had licentious form Of wor-
ship; one of their emblems was the cross
entwiDed by the serpent, an emblem OF de-
sire. st. Patrick, on the introduction OF
Christianity. banished this heinous emblem
(the serpent), leaving the cross alone as the
Christian sign. Such is the origin OF this
myth.
Good Friday and Easter Sunday were
originally annual Chsldean feasts, celebrated
in honor of the goddess Easter lshtsr), the
virgin mother of nature, to whom small
cakes, marked with d cross, were offered /;
they were called ''bouDs" (buns) On Easter
Sunday colored eggs, as to-day, figured in
their mysteries, and at the same period of
the year. viz, the spring equinoxes. This
feast dates back l 800 years B. c.
The season of Lent was an ancient Egypt
ian feast, held sacred for 40 days, during
the period their "sun god" was passing from
the zodiacal sign Aquarius to the Lamb of
spring, the reproducer of a new creation. At
this period nothing but fish was permitted
to be eaten.
Friday, with many ancient nations, was
kept sacred to the queen OF heaven, and, the
fish being one OF her emblems, the priests
made il law that her deVotees eat nothing
but fish on Friday. The custom. though
pagan, is still cherished among us.-J. Coop
err in Jersey City Times.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
stand Fast in the ncmocratic Faith.

Sucn IS the ADVICE OF the New 0rk Star,
in long and able article, in which it shows
that the democratic voter should bear IN
mind before attaching himself to the "work-
ingman's party" or the "greenback party"
or the national party" or to any indie
pendent organization whatever, that there
are but two great political parties in this
country to-day, and that its interests for an
indefinite penod will be controlled by
either one of them. Our people are so much
the creatures of habit that they do not
break away from the organization with
which they have been accustomed for
years to act unless there Is some momentous
cause operating TO divert their sympathies
The reasons which have led 10 the independ-
ent political movements above referred to
do not constitute such momentous cause.
The great body of voters are not shaken in
their allegiance by the the theories that
underlie the 'workingmen's g." "greenback"
and national organizations. 1t is obvious,
therefore, that the future policy of the
nation is still to be determined by the
issue of the coming contests between
the democratic and republican parties.
In certain localities the independents
may occasionally achieve victory,
where there is no other than n purely local
question at issue, but when commanding
national or state Interests are at stake, the
vast majority of the people will array them
selves under the old familiar standards, and
fight the battle under the leaders whose skill,
judgment and powers they have been accus-
toned to respect. In the next presidential
election the real battle Will be wsged between
democrats and republicans, and any outside
organizations will be IS useless as the fifth
wheel TO a coach 1t is therefore the duty OF
democrats to stand by their party winch is the
friend of the workingman, and through its
powerful instrumentality alone can be
achieved the rights for which he signs and
struggles. Ever since the war that party
has been doing good missionary work in
the republican camp, and succeeded in
converting tens OF thousands 1t is stronger
to-day than ever, and is daily increasing
that strength. 1t holds the house of rep
resentatives now, and next year will hold
the senate. In 1880 it will elect the presi-
dent OF the United States and by the
Eternal" inaugurate him. too, the following
March. Upon the very eve of its restoration
to power, it would be the height of folly for
the workilgman, whose patience has been
tried by years of defeat, to desert the only
flag that can truly shelter him, and cast his
lot with the Philistines or the stranger. Let
him rather persevere little longer in the
old faith, and whose harbingers are already
visible in "streakings of morning light that
suffuse the whole eastern horizon of 0emOc-
racy.-Exchange.

sumption law is to remain on the statute
books the last hope for immediate
relief perishes. 1t should be understood
that for this state Of things the radical party
is responsible, and that so long as it can con-
troll legislation the country will be sub
jected to such endorsements as Shylocks
may choose to impose. What the interests
of the people demand is the repeal uncon-
diticnally of the resumption law. This
wculd at once have the effect of arresting
John Sherman's scheme for enriching himself
and other Shylocks, provided Hayes withheld
his threatened veto. Ifitcome however, then
the issue would have been sQuarely made
before the country, and the people being able
to comprehend the situation would have
been in position to have rebuked those
who disregarded their misfortunes. The
further action Of congress will be watched
with intense solicitude, for with another
year of business prostration new difficulties
may be anticipated, compared with which
past calamities have been unImportant.
