THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Convention failed to nomi-
nate candidate for Governor, but
recommended A. II. Colquitt By a
vote of 224s out of 3493, and ap>
pointed committee of nine to res
quest Gov. Colquitt's acceptance.
The Convention found but little
difficulty in harmonizing on the
nomination of the other officers -
Col. Ely, the present Attorney Gen
eral received a majority vote, but
could not receive the requisite two
thirds. Col. Clifford Anderson, OF
Macon, received the nomination on
the first ballot after his name was
presented.
Treasurer J. w. Renfroe, seeing
the defeat of Ely, and believing his
fate would be the same, decided not
allow his name TO go before the con-
vention, and will run as an Indepen>
dent. Col Daniel Speer, of Troup,
received the nomination for Treas
urer and will beat Renfroe.
Col. Barnett, the present efficient
Secretary of State, was renominated.
Comptroller General Wright was
also nominated without opposition
The party is united and will sup
port all the State offices nominated.
The minority have decided to put
forward a candidate in opposition to
Gov. Colquitt, the candidate recon
mended for Governor by the major
ity.
The issue is unfortunate and to be
regretted, and precipitates hot and
bitter canvass upon the people OF
Georgia that shOald have been
avoided.

Here is little incident suggestive
of General Hancock's great popular"
ity At the reception" to Garfield
in New York on last Friday night
week, Gen. A. G. McCook, a war
worn veteran of the Garfield school,
attempted to criticise Gen. Hancock,
whereupon he was interrupted by a
voIley Of cheers for Hancock
There was thereupon a shower of
Kisses from those nearest the speak
er but it was at once silenced by
another ringing cheer for General
Hancock.

BOUGHT WITH ICE CREAM.

Meme need despair of fortune be-
ing thrust upon them, provided they
are young and handsome. Especial
Iy is this the case with the fascinat-
ing dry goods clerks. The New
York papers tell of Miss Lolita
Smith who is pretty, has numbered
twenty summers and owns $25, 900
unincumbered in her own right.
She was visiting friend in SAUCER
ties, New York, aud when the narra~
tive commences was engaged in that
operation dearest to the female heart
shopping. She was accompanied by
an aunt. She was conversing with
the proprietor pleasantly and finally
remarked TO him that he had moth
ing in the store he could dispose of
to her unless it was that handsome
clerk behind the counter. Merchant
remarked he would sell him for
dish of ice crerm. Miss Lolita closed
with the offer at once and the ices
were ordered and eaten. This over,
proprietor tells clerk of the SALE
The latter in the spirit of the affair
addressed note to her conveying
the idea that the purchase could not
be completed without his consent,
and that could not be won unless he
received his quota of cream. The
lady responded next day with the
price demanded and chatted with
him while he partook of the offering
and the bargain was regarded as fin>
ished. The next day the lady ap'
peared in her carriage, asked for
her packages, including the smiling
salesman, and having received them
and him, started for her home in
Columbia. The young gentleman
parts his hair in the middle and has
winning ways, and is regarded as
having made a splendid conquest.
The brother clerks are now pooling
the issue on a marriage or his being
thrown over as soon as mademoiseIle
caprice tires of her new toy. The
general impression is, however, that
there will be marriage before the
leaves fall.

THE TRUTH.

If the old saying be wise that the
truth should not at all times be spok>
en-, it is equally true that lie should
never be spoken at all. The best
time to speak the truth, if one must
speak, is always but if there is any
preference, we should give it to the
time of political campaign such as
the country is now entering upon.
To q season when all the tendencies
are to reckless statements and insin>
uations and warm words, let it be
deeply impressed upon the minds Of
the people that the simple, sober
truth could never be more accepta-
BILE or beneficial. Anybody can
spread campaign SANDER, but only
the strong man is able to keep bis
temper and truthfulness. Let the
people and press during the present
campaign see to it that all SANDER,
abuse and lies are let alone, and the
truth and decency only are adhered

MADE BLIND BY THE Use OF AR
sENIc.-A case of unusual interest
to women, bearing on the use of ar
cenic to improve the complexion, has
recently come to light in the western
part of the city. A young lady,
handsome and intelligent, has been
for q long while using arsenic for her
complexion and recently she has al-
most lost her eyesight. Her eyes
began to grow dim about a year ago
and have been gradually but sensl-
bly, failing ever since, until it is al
most impossible for her to see. Her
physicians says it is from the use OF
arsenic. In view of the calamity,
her engagement with young physis
clan of good prospects, while not
broken off entirely, has been held
subject to the final result Of expert

PAPER MAKING FROM FLORIDA
PALMETToEs Respecting palmetto
paper, we see it stated that the
company that has been experiment.
ing in Florida with palmetto for pa
per making purposes has met with
such gratifying success that they
will erect about twenty paper mills
in various parts of that State whe.
palmetto trees grow in abundance
aad where the transportation facili-
ties are good. Some English paper
manufacturers in Canada have been
SO influenced by the favorable re-
ports concerning palmetto that they
have sent an agent to Florida to as
certain what may be its intrinsic
merits. The establishment of these
paper mills we trust will be the
means of giving us cheaper paper.

BILL ARP ON TAXATIoN.-There
was a fellow over in Rome, Ga,
who made power of fuss because
we we're fixing to build a city hall.
The extravaganza of the thing alarm
ed him, and he sawed the air and
lifted up his voice and paved dirt
around amazing, until went to him
one day and says /, my friend, l
know you are patriot and Chris
tian, but I've figured up the thing
about the hall on a specie basis, and
your additional tax will be just ex
actly 27 cents Now here is a quar-
ter and a cigar, and | don't want
you to say any more about it and he
didn't. The trouble with heap of
us is we imagine the whole thing of
paying the public debt, and saying
the State is upon us Individually,
when it amt. We've got Joe Brown
and John H. James, and Phinizy,
King, and AustelI, and Peters and
all them sort to pay the debt, and
we've got several gentlemen employ
ed regular to save the State when ii
becomes necessary. So let her rip.

The tone of good conversation lie
flowing or natural; it is neither
heavy or frivolous; it is learned
without pedautry, lively without
noise, polished without equivocation.
1t is neither made up of lectures nor
epigrams. Those who really con-
verse, reason without arguing, joke
without punhing, skillfully unite wit
aud reason, maxims and sallies, in
genious raillery and severe morality.
They speak of everything in order
that every one may have something
to say; thy do not investigate too
closely for fear Of wearyiug; guess
tions are introduced as ifaby the bye,
and are treated with rapidity pre-
cision leads to elegance, each one
giving his opinion, and supporting it
With few words. No one attacks
wautonIy another's opinion, no one
supports his own obstinately. They
discuss in order to enlighten them>
selves, and leave off discussion when
dispute would begin; every one
gains information, every one recre-
ates himself, and all go away consen
ted; nay, the sage himself may carry
away from what he has heard matter

a heap CT tresses, culIed from various
