LOngings for Home.

In all my wanderings round this world of care.
In all my griefs-and God has given me nv share
still had hopes my latest hours to crown,
Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down;
10 husband out LIES taper at the close.
And keep the flame from wasting, by repose:
still had hopes, for pride attends US still,
AMIDST the SWANS to show my book-leamed skill;
Around my fire an evening group to draw,
And tell Of all felt, and all saw;
AND as hare, whom hounds and horns pursue,
rants to the place from whence at first she flew.
! still had hopes, my long vexations past,
Here to return-and die at home at last.

Georgia in the War of 1875.

The little book, Georgia in the War of
1661-5,' may be called history in nut
shell, for in its pages Charles E. Jones of
Augusta, Ca, formerly Historian of the
U. G. V. Camp No. 435, has collected all
the historical facts that have made the
State famous. He gives brief synopsis
OF the States history from its founding
under Gov. Oglethorpe, June 8, 1892, up to
the present date. He touches lightly upon
the salient points of interest and makes
every necessary item stand out in prom-
hence. Mr.. Jones gives detailed account
of all the fighting on Georgia soil; but the
principal advantage of the book is the
tables which are invaluable for consulta-
ton. In easy reference form he has tables
of the Governors Of Georgia, counties of
Georgia and dates Of founding, field officers,
regiments, battalions from Georgia in the
Confederate army, five Georgia infantry
regiments, cavalry, artillery, general Off
GERS commissioned by Georgia and in State
service, general officers appointed from
Georgia, Confederate Cabinet officers from
Georgia, campaigns conducted, battles,
engagements, and skirmishes in the State
with their dates and location, roll of honor,
names of officers killed or who died of
wounds not mentioned in formal report in
the battles of Charlottesville, Chicka-
manga, near Petersburg, Va, Murfrees-
boro, and of Gettysburg, volunteer force
United States army from Georgia, and
local designation of Georgia's troops in the
Confederate army.
AS will be seen, this book, thou small, is
full Georgia military library under one
cover, and the price of one dollar is very
small in comparison with the great value
of the information given. The book can
obtained from Mr.. Charles Egworth Jones,
Augusta, Ga.-Conederate Veteran.

One of the Grayjackets and Other Stories.

This volume contains a series Of short
stories in which the interest is sustained so
absolutely that the reader turns page after
page to the end and does not realize even
to the last, that the charming stories are
nearly over The book is full of charm
and alive with action, picturing number
of sturdy and indomitabe and fascinating
characters. AS literature the stories are OF
the first order, and while reading them for
their beautiful sentiments one gets at the
same time both breadth and outline. This
picture of 'Brethtt" deserves a setting
and a title of its own apart from the vol
ume of which it is but a small part:
"Dixie, the bands were playing Well
live and die for Dixie and consumed with
the fervor of his patriotism, Brethitt hum
med the stirring air and meant every word
he muttered.
1t was in this spirit that the lad took
his place among the fighting men. After
that the history of Lees army was Breth-
tits history. His the enthusiasm of the
boy, his the ardor of the fanatic. To him
there was no sound so good as that of the
rafting guns, and the battle-flag of his
regiment seemed close akin to Diety. I'm
der that scrap of silk he fought at Fred
ericksburg and at Charlottesville, led by
it he forded the clear Potomac and marched
through the green lanes of Maryland,
bearing it he climbed the long slope of
Gettysburg, and with it he was there thrust
down again.
'Afterward there came gloomier days,
could Brethitt have realized as much. The
Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and Peters,
burg and Grants grim lines were tighten
ing.
But Brethitt's soul was in the game.
Rapier thrust against hammer stroke it
was, and dazzled by the play of the lighter
weapon the boy forgot the blows the other
dealt. So many times had the odds been
against them, and SO many times had the
good gray leader led the way and the rag
ged battalions countered on their enemy,
that other result seemed impossible. In
the last days others may have despaired
but not so Brethitt. Even as they were
forced to evacuate their long held lines, he
uncased his flag and bore it jauntily
Hunger?- would eat tomorrow.
Weariness?-N matter.
But the end had come, and presently
Sheridan barred the way. For the last
time the thinned-out columns thrust for
ward their skirmishers, for the last time
Brethitt advanced the colors,' and the
spent ranks greeted them-giving one long
yell, the mo,1t,ri so1utomus of the Army
of Northern Virginia.

THE STATE PRESS.

Monroe News-Star: Let's give the poll
itician respite, and devote at least six
months every four years to legitimate
business.
New Orleans Item: Stale Institute Con-
ductor L. j. Alleman will make up as soon
as he can find the time the statistics he
should have had complete about December
1st last Messrs. Harris, Alleman and
Aswell are now in a position where they
are called upon to prove that they guessed
CO right on the Tulane Summer Normal,
a matter on which no guessing should have
been done.
Claiborne Guardian-J journal: The game
law is fast losing what friends it had. One
by one the different parishes are passing
resolutions condemning it and instructing
their representatives to encompass its re-
peal. By the time the Legislature con-
venes it will be difficult to find sponsor
for the autocratic law in the Northern Sec
ton of the State. The only fair and dem
ocra,:t plan is to refer the whole matter
to the respective police juries and confer
jurisdiction on these bodies to regulate the
seasons for hunting and fishing.
New Orleans Picayune: 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the great educational interests
of the State have got into the hands of a
cabal, clique or faction that is unfriendly
to New Orleans and it's great schools. The
operations Of this combination seem to be
governed wholly by partisan and sectional
interests. and if there is no other way to
counteract its Injurious discrimination it
may be possible to turn it out of office
some time Or other. The present contro.
versy is over the refusal of the alleged
trust managers to allow summer school
to be held in New Orleans, where former
sessions have been so successful. But
everything gets into politics sooner or
later, and that seems to be the trouble in
this petty affair.
New Orleans Times Democrat: It is not
possible to prove that there was any graft
used in the selection of the text books, nor
have we attempted to do so. What we
have charged is favoritism, cliqueism, au-
tocratic methods and a disreguard of the
public interests. Even in the matter of
favoritism it would be impossible to math-
ematically demonstrate it. We cannot, for
instance, prove that Mr.. Harris selected
the Aswell spoilers because Mr.. Aswell Sc
cured his appointment as Superintendent
of Public Education; but when it is con-
sidered that these spoilers were adopted
before they had been printed for use; when
it is remembered that Mr. Aswell had seen
so clearly the abuse likely to grow up from
persons connected with the educational
system of the State becoming agents for
text books, etc., or mixing themselves up
in the text question, that he had per-
suaded the Legislature to pass law to put
an end to this practice, the inevitable con-
clusion is that Mr.. Harris was clad to do
this favor far his patron, and to put the
brand new spoilers on his list.

StiIton Cheese.

The secret Of making Stilton cheese
was for some time confined to the fam
lily Of the original inventors, who were
under an engagement to sell all they
could make to the famous Cooper
Ihornhill of Stilton. Being thus to be
obtained of him alone, it received the
appellation Of Stilton cheese, but it
would have been more appropriately
named Wichcote cheese, being first
made in that village, on the eastern
side Of Leicestershire, about thirty
miles from Stilton.-London Standard.
