GRADY'S FUNERAL
The Brilliant Young Georgian Lai.to His
Rest on Christmas Day.

ATLANTA, GA, December 25.-Ns
city ever had as sad Christmas as this
! has been for Atlanta. The holiday
decorations have black and white, and
sorrow has filled every heart. 1t is
very doubtful if ever in the history OF
this people any private citizen has
been as universally mourned as Henry
w. Grady, from all parts of the coun-
try, and from people in all walks OF
life, have come griefbearing messages
and coincidence to the ones to whom
grief is most intense. From all parts
of the South and many cities Of the
North came delegations to attend the
funeral
The day was bright and beautiful ;
balmy as spring. At g o'clock the pail
bearers and honorary escort, together
with the committees from all organiza-
tions to which Mr.. Grady belonged,
gathered at the house. For half an
hour friends were permitted to look
upon the face of the dead, and then the
body was borne to ihe First Methodist
Church, where it lay in state. The
floral tributes at the church were most
beautiful.
For four hours people were allowed
to pass by the casket to take last look.
Delegations from all the societies of
Georgia were present. There was a
notably large number of colored peo-
pie who manifested sincere sorrow at
the loss of true friend. The Consti-
tuition employees, headed by the pro-
prietors and editors of the paper, came
in a body. Then they went to the
house to form al honorary escort from
the house to the church.
The services were the simplest posi-
bic. This was the special wish Of Mrs.
Grady. DR.. Morrison, General Evarts,
DR.. Glenn, DR.. Lee, DR.. Bennett and
DR.. Hopkins officiated. The choir
sang "Shall we Gather at the River"
Mr.. Grady's favorite hymn. There
were no eulogies; no remarks ofany
kind.
From the church to falkland ceme-
terry the body was followed by the
largest procession even seen in Atlanta,
or Georgia, and that, too, with no dis
play or music of any kind. Military
companies from all parts of the State
had asked to be allowed in line, but
they were refused, and 10 organiza-
tions of any kind were there, It was
simple funeral of a simple citizen of the
United States.
At the cemetery the body was placed
ia the vault Of CAM, " d Grant i
Westview- w-stremetery st'e as soon as a vault
ics21 6 Z re 'oe erected.
The young men of Georgia have
started a movement for a monument,
and in one day without effort at can-
vassing, have rAised $1,000.

Sam Summers the negro prodigy.
was IN town recently, and, as usual,
entertained large crowd, who were
testing him with all kinds of ,nathe-
matlcal problems. Summers is negro
"a years old, without the slightest edu-
cation. He cannot read or write, and
does not know one figure from another.
He ls common farm hand, and to
look at him and watch his actions he
seems to be about half-witted, but his
quick and invariably correct answer to
any examplein arithmetic, no matter
how difficult, is simply wonderful.
With the hundreds of tests that he has
submitted to, not single time has he
failed to give the correct ansu in every
instance.
Some examples given him were as
follows: How much gold can be bought
for 1872 in greenbacks if gold is worth
sl.65? Multiply 597,3l2 by 133. If
grain of wheat produces seven grains,
and these be sown the second year,
each yielding the same increase, how
many bushels will produced at this rate
in twelve years if 1000 grains make
pint? If the velocity of sound is 1,l42
feet per second, the pulsation of the
heart seventy per minute, after seeinga
flash OF lightning there are twenty
pulsations counted before. you hear it
thunder, what distance is the cloud
from the earth, and what is the time
after seeing the flash oflightning until
you hear the thunder? A commission
merchant received seventy bags of
wheat, each containing three bushels,
three pecks, and three quarts. How
many bushels did he receive? And so
on.
With Robinson's, Rays and other
higher arithmetics before them, those
who have tested him as yet have been
unable to find any example that with
few moments thought cn bis part he
is not able to correctly answer,

The Farmers and Protection.

lJohn G. Carlisle in the Jan. Forum.
The American farmer, although he
cultivates the Most fertile soil in the
world, and ought to the most prosper
Gus member of the community, is con-
sta1tly engaged in a hard struggle to
secure a comfortable support for his
family and a moderate education for
his children, and to pay his taxes and
keep out of debt. This is all he can
reasonably hope to accomplish in
large majority of cases he fails even to
do this, and sooner or later is compelled
to sell or mortgage his land end reduce
his expenditures to the loves possible
figure. He has paternal government
which has determined that certain
classes of industry ought to be main
tanned at the public expense, and for
thirty years he has been taxed for
their support; and now after thsse fav-
ored industries have become rich and
powerful, they combine and confeder-
ate under the names of trusts, syndi-
Gates and pools, and dictate the terms
upon which the people may procure
the necessaries of life and carry on
their business. Under our system of
taxation, the farmer is almost with

can foresee with almost absolute GER
tainty what the quantity of their pro-
duct will be upon the employment Of
any given number of hands, and,
therefore, they can combine whenever
they choose to limit production and in
crease prices but the farmers crop
depends almost entirely upon the char
acter Of the seasons he may have, and
he cannot decide in advance how much
he must plant in order to furnish
supply that will not be in excess Of the
| demand.
Notwithstanding these and many
other disadvantages under which the
farmer labors, and which no act of Con-
gress can remove, Senator Cullom
thinks protection has been more bene-
fetal to him than to any one else, and
be refers to "the great improvement
in the material welfare of the farming
and country people" during the last
thirty or forty years, to justify his
| opinion. "All this comfort and gem
eral Improvement he attributes to
| protection. 1t wonld he far more reas-
| enable TO conclude that if they had
been exempt frem this heavy taxation
and permitted to expend their money
for the improvement of their children,
there would be fewer mortgages upon
their land, and greater degree Of fcom-
fort and prosperity among the farmers
and country people.

AN EXODUS FROM GEORGIA.
bow the Negroes of Barlow and Polk
Counties were Deluded into Emisrat-
ing to Arkansas.
From the New York Herald7


CEDARToWN, Ga, December 2l.-
Great excitement has prevailed during
the past week because of the whole
sale exodus of negroes. Hundreds have
already left their work in the fields to
60 to Arkansas, lured by the extrava-
giant promises made by railroad emf
grafton agents. For some time there
have been rumors Of a general exodus
Little attention was paid to these re-
ports until last Monday, when the
citizens of Cedartown found their depot
crowded with colored people waiting to
be transported to their new homes in
the Southwest. 1t was learned that
the one hundred and fifty or more
farm laborers who were collected at
the depot were only the pioneers in
the great exodus which will soon de-
populate Barlow and Polk counties of
their farm hands.
The emigration scheme has been
worked with great skill, and has been
kept a profound secret until matters had
gone too far for white influence to have
any effect. Three months ago a. section
OF country from above Cedartown to-
Statesborough, in Barlow County, was
Hooded with circulars and pamphlets.
which set forth in glowing terms the
advantages offered colored emigrants
to Arkansas. The high wages paid,
the good homes which were given away
and the ease with which living could
be made were all luminously depicted.
After this sort of literature had been
given time to circulate and have its
effect a new element in the organized
plan to obtain workingmen for Arkan-
sas was introduced. Two negroes.
named Spradling, who had once lived
IN Polk County, suddenly reappeared.
Ihey stated that they had just returned
from Arkansas and knew all about the
promised land. That there were draw
oacks 70 perfect happiness there these
TWO men admitted, but they claimed
mat wages were high and work plenti-
full; thatneither man, woman nor child
could possibly suffer want as long as
they had two arms and were willing to
use them moderately
a month or more was given the two
spradllngs to do their share of the
WORK and then one of the master
schemers commenced playing his part.
Ills Time the actor was a white man.

he made most extravagant promises,
ana the result was that many people
llVlng near Cedartown were awakened
sunday night by the sound Of wagons
passing their houses. From every direc-
ton travellers commenced making
their way to the depot, and when the
sun rose between one hundred and fifty.
and two hundred of them were wait
