Atlanta Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial, i GeofSia Law-Makers. A sudden change in the weather, amounting to about fifty degrees in thirty hours, and a small coal grate, no larger than a man's hat, and not of -much more warmth, caused your correspondent to change his quarters the other night, and establish himself in a warmer lati? tude. Returning from Stephen's speech, I was shown my room in the third story of an im? posing brick. It was large, with a cheerful fire at one end, and two beds at the other. A short but black negro, under a plug hat and wrapped in a heavy cloak, stood before the fire. The servant of soruo guest?statesman, who oc? cupies one of these beds, I thought?an ex slave who still clings to his old master. "Whose room is this ?" I asked of the negro. ' "Senator Blank siiays here, sah." "Are yon his servant V* "No, sah; l.'se a member of the Legislatur." "Oh, indeed!" . "Yes, sah; and I come np here to meet the Senator to talk and consult about this here election that's coming on." "The Senatorial election f" *'Yes, sah; that business is getting red-hot," and the Legislator laughed a silvery laugh. "Is the Senator which you speak of a Re? publican ?" "Yes, sah; we are both from down on the coast, where all the Republicans come from that's elected." "What's the matter that there are so few of you in the Legislature?" "Well, sab, the white men have got the money and the brains, and they just fix -up the party business to iiuit themselves. Our party is about played in this Slate. Every election we get less.. A heap of the darkies are getting to vote the Democratic ticket as a regular thing.. I know one county down on the coast, where seventeen hundred darkies voted the the straight-out Democratic ticket." "Why didn't you work with them ?" "Ob, I did; I made a heap of speeches, but it 'pears it did no good. Them niggers down there have got a big Democratic devil in 'em. You'had just as well talk to stumps. They have soured on our party. A Democrat can tale a bale of cotton and vote a hundred." I laughed. "It's a fact, sah; a burnin' and a shameful fact, as I tell 'em. It's a disgraccment to the reason of mankind. I tell you I went for 'em in my speeches. But a heap of times they would only laugh and tell me to come down and give 'em a chew of tobacco. One day I got sorter mad in my argument, and told 'em I could buy 'em ail with two pounds of tobacco. Why, they mighty nigh beat Colonel Whiteley for Congress. Colonel Whiteley is one of the freatest men that walks on this here country, he fool niggers voted the Democratic ticket so much that we only elected our man bv fifty votes. We worked every day an night. I*made fifty speeches. We spent all oar money. Col? onel Whiteley put in the last cent?the last cent, sah. One day I went to his house for money to bring out the darkies. His wife kept the money. 'Wife,' said he, 'give Jim some money.' There ain't but twenty dollars In the house,' she says. 'Give it to him,' he says, 'I'm going to spend the last cent,' and he did. but we only missed being beat by a mighty little. Next time they will set him. I tell you, sah, some of these days, the Democrats will have every bit of this State under them? selves just as they want it" I was about to observe to the despondent colored brother that they had it now, when the door opened and the Sei at or?a tall, spare white man?came in. We introduced our? selves and chose beds. "This is Jim," he said, turning to the negro, "lie's a member, and has come up to help us whip out the d?d Democrats." As there are about si:c Democrats in the Legislature to one Republican-, it looks as though the whipping-oat process might be good exercise. "Jim," he continued, "do you know all the black members ?" "Yes sah." "Well, you stir around and get them into the caucus Monday night. We must act together. I don't see how we can vote for Stephens, Gor? don or Hill. If the thing gets close we may hold the balance of power." "Yes sah." "Do you know what that is V "No sah." "That means if the vote is close between two Democrats, we will vote for the one or the other and elect him." "Yes sah." "Which one of the three, Jim, can we swal? low the best?" "Some says Stephens." "No, Jim; I'll be d?d if we can go for Ste? phens. Do you know Stephens' record ?" ? "No sah." "Well, he's an old Democratic sinner. I'd just as soon send Jeff. Davis to the United States Senate as him. I tell you, Jim, our chance is Hill. We can't help ourselves in this fight, and we must do all we can to hurt the Democrats. Jim, how did you leave busi? ness at home?" "Pretty fair, sah." "Glad of it. I tell you, if we can bother the Democrats it will pay us to stay here all the spring. The boys will plant our cotton and corn, and if they don't it may go to thunder. Our business is right here to worry the Demo? crats. Jim, did you know the Democrats had reigned this country once ?" "Yes sah." "And they'll do it again. They would send the devil to the Senate if he could serve. But they can't get him, so they will try to send old Alex. I know old Alex, mighty well. Did I ever tell you, Jim, about what old Alex, did in the Secession Convention ?" "The which, sah ?" j "The Secession Convention, that took the State out of the Union ?" "No sah." "Well, they held secret sessions. Old Alex, was in there. I gave the door-keeper a dollar to let me opes the door half an inch. You can buy a heap of people for a dollar, Jim, and a d?d sight of them for ten dollars." "Yes sah." "Well, as I was saying, old Alex, was speak ing. Says he: 'Mr. President, I am opposed to the policy of secession, but if it has to come, let it be done before yonder sun sinks in the west. I am a Georgian, and will stand by Georgia to the bitter end.' You see, Jim, he thought more of this one-horse State than he ; did of the whole country. That's why we can't vote for him. No matter what comes. Jim, we musn't allow a single .Republican vote to go for Stephens." "No sah." "We will throw away onr votes on Akerman first" "Yes, sah." "But I think we had better vote for Hill if we can beat Stephens or Gordon with him, dotftyou?" "Yea, sah." "Now. Jim, you may go, but mind that 70a don't talk too mach." "Yes, sah." And the honored colored member folded his martial cloak around him and withdrew, and I went to sleep to dream of strange Georgia scenes. Monkeys Apetho their Masters.?Jo? seph Firley, importer of blooded fowls and proprietor of a saloon on LeideadorfF street, recently augmented the stock of curiosities in his saloon by the addition of two large and in? telligent monkeys. The animals arrived on the last steamer from the Orient. They were formally introduced to the chief barkeeper, who tendered them the freedom of the saloon.* The customers watched the antics of the two strangers with eager interest, dubbed them Jim and Susie, and voted Jim a fellow of infinite jest. Susie went to bed at a reasonable hour, and did not object to being locked up in her cage; but Jim would not tolerate the advance of any one when near his cage, and was left roosting over a door when the time for closing the saloon arrived. Next morning when the barkeeper opened the door he saw something flying through the air, and dodged his head just in time to escape a sound blow. He peeped into the window and saw Jim perched on a tall ale cask, with a pile of boxes around him, evidently waiting for the appearance of the barkeeper's head. The latter procured reinforcements and sought to overawe Jim. The monkey, evidently de? termined not to yield without a desperate strug gle, gathered all the available soda bottles and ox es and chunks of wood about his stronghold, and upon the advance of the barkeeper and his command hurled the missiles toward the enemy with great rapidity and precision, and as long as the ammunition held out be could not be dis? lodged. Finally Jim was brushed with a club and persuaded to keep quiet. The strong smell of liquor that permeated the air caused the barkeeper to look around with anxiety, and well he might. Jim had emptied whiskey and brandy upon the floor, treated Susie to whiskey until she succumbed to its effects and was in a beastly state of intoxication, and had filled all of the bottles with sawdust, the damage amounting to forty dollars. Mr. Finley no longer takes any interest in monkeys, but will cheerfully give information on the subject to persons of an. inquiring turn of mind or direct them toBobinson, "the tropical curiosity man," of Washington Street, with whom Susie and Jim are residing.?San Francisco Bulletin. True Marriage.?True marriage is com? plete companionship. As the companionship Sows less, tho marriage becomes untruthful, sea its earllait spring, and dwindles from its apex. The deepest expression of love is long? ing for the object loved. When the longing decreases, love fias decreased in the same pro? portion. Companionship is the realization of I longing; aucl the realization which does not produce satiety touches and blends with the ! ideal. All the romance of the freshest erao 1 tions tends to and demands companionship., j The most ordinary lovers are as Daphne and. Appolo when first they catch the soft infection. The sentiments with which they are inspired, warm them with poetic fervor, and the common things that compose their life assume the hues, of remembered dreams. The instinct of com? panionship is strong upon them. They glide to each other like concurrent streams, and, once together, their rustic silence is more elo? quent than moulded words. Their sole thought, their one desire, is companionship, whose pres? ence and influence lend color and warmth, rhythm and thyme to the rude prose of their being. For hours they will sit beside a stag? nant pool and see the heaven of their hope mirrored on its turbid surface. They will walk hand in band through barren fields that are to them as Armida's enchanted garden. They will be surrounded by poverty and mean? ness, and personal contact will conjure these into affluence and splendor. . In all such exter? nals, companionship is the transparent power, the cunning creator of beautiful illusions, the spiritual sorcerer that compels ths outward state to reflect the inner mood. As with coarse, so it is with fine humanity. Like seeks like throughout the universe, and this seeking attains its end in companionship. The mascufine and feminine in all the kingdoms strive toward each other; wanting rest until conjoined, and wanting development until con? tiguity be secured. While companionship con? tinues, satisfaction lasts, but both are usually temporary from the absence of congenial con? ditions. Marriage, I repeat, is companionship, and with the termination of companionship veritable divorce begins. Natural Cisterns.?When rain falls, where does it go 1 Into the ground, we say. Then how are lakes and rivers made, if rain sinks into the earth ? They are fed by springs. But how are the springs fed ? They are fed by the rains. Did you ever notice the different colored bauks of earth exposed by a railroad cut through a bunk ? You observe that there are bands of thick bluish clay at intervals, and that the spaces between are filled with sand, gravel or fine earth. Through these the water can penetrate freely, but when it reaches the [ clay it must stop, for the clay is as "water? tight" as the best of -India-rubber. Upon the top of such a bed of clay the water accumu? lates. It saturates the overlaying sands, and follows the decent of the clay-bed until it reaches the margin over which the water flows, and then passes freely through sand and gravel as before, until it is stopped l>y another Bed of clay. Thus these clay-beds form natural cisterns, where God naves the rains within reach of the surface, not permitting them to be lost in the depths of the earth, as they would be were it not for thes 3 waterproof bands. But if tho earth were a level surface the wa? ter would remain in these natural cisterns, and the water could only be reached by digging wells. That would do well enough for men, but how would the poor wild animals find water to drink? For their benefit, it is planned that many of these beds of clay should end on a hill-side, where the waters they hold can overflow, and escape in clear, bubbling springs. From these springs tiny rills of water go trickling downward, someti mes getting lost agai n in the earth, to descend until they meet other beds of clay. But often they join other tiny rills, until several of them form a brook, which, growing larger and larger as it wanders, finally j becomes a river like the Croton, or perhaps a large one like the Hudson. Or, finding some where on the surface a deep hollow with a bottom of clay, the brook may spread out into i a broad, clear lake. Thus wo see one of the 1 very many ways in which God, when he planned the earth, thought and provided for the wants j of both men and animals.?Hearth and Home.1 All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? What is that which has its head at one end acd its month at the other? A river. ? What is that which must be taken from you before you can give it away ? Your pho? tograph. ? If the papers and stump speakers tell the truth, only the greatest scoundrels are nomina? ted for office. ? Quilp says there is little difference be? tween a woman's dress and a woman's temper ?both can be easily ruffled. ? The mysterious name of the "monkey wrench" was taken from its inventor, Mr. Mon? key, wbo still lives in New Jereey. ? The negro who bet $2.75 he could ride a mule with a pine-burr under the saddle, lost the money. He was followed to the tomb by a very large enthusiastic audience. ? A Georgia woman is credited with having raised a large family, although not out of her teens. It was her mother-in-law's family, and she did it with a keg of powder planted in the cellar. ? i. nervous youth in Louisville, after his marriage ceremony, slipped a nickle five cent Siece into the parson's hand, instead of a five ollar gold pice, which he had ready in another pocket.. ? An Indiana Sunday school man writes to Bible firm in New York: "Send me on some Sunday school papers and books. Let the books be about pirates and Indians as far as possible." ? "That man," said a wag, "came to Nash na forty years ago, purchased a basket, and commenced gathering rags. How much do you suppose he is worth now?" It was a co? nundrum we could not answer. "Nothing," he continued after a pause, "and owes for the bas? ket" ? A young lady has just been fined $200 in Chicago for calling her lover into the kitchen and t irowing some boiling lye upon him.? This mode of giving tbe lye direct was highly resented by the lover, who concluded that the warmth of the maiden's affection was too much for hin, and had her arrested. ? One man at least has been found who can appreciate a mother-in-law. He lives in New? port, and having become a widower some time ago, has married her who held to him that re? lation, - ordinarily regarded as one of natural hostility. How many men could be found in this wide republic willing to marry their mo? thers-in-law ? ? A young lady writes to an exchange giv? ing a receipt for having fun. She says, invite half a dozen boys and girls to your house when your pa and ma are away; put a half dollar silver piece in a dish with molasses an inch deep in it, and offer- it to the boy who gets it with his mouth. The more the boys who try to get it the more fun will there be. The girl deserves a diploma. ? A New Haven revivalist the other night painted.the future state of the wicked in gloomy colon, and saying bis father died a very wicked roan, and had gone to hell, was proceeding, when a young man rose to go out The preach? er at once announced that there was a young man ;:oing straight to the same burning region, when the seceder stopped and coolly asked: "Well, elder, don't you want to send some word to your father ?" ? Although we are not professional theo? logians, we modestly suggest to the conversa? tionalist on the Creation, that the true reason of miking man last of creation was, the fore? knowledge of roan's dishonesty; for if man bad teen made first in creation, he would now be writing big books to prove that he made the balance, instead of attempting to prove that what are called created things, existed always and i ever had a beginning at all. ? No story of heathen mythology (says a writer in Apple ton's Journal,) which tells of the transformation of human or celestial beings into plants or trees, are so beautiful as that one in which the North American Indians give the origin of their maize, which is, in substance, that i beautiful girl, pursued by a river god, took refuge among the reeds, twining them about her to hid herself, upon which her slen? der form was changed into a graceful stalk, her teeth into milk-white kernels, and her lovely, floating hair into silk; and, in place of reeds and maiden, there stood only a tali, bending stalk of Indian corn ; so that, ever after, in the rustle of a waving corn field, the red man could hear the stirring of a company of timid girls. ? A comical twin story is reported from Dublin. A barber was waited upon one morn? ing ty a nice young gentleman, who desired the lair-dresser's lowest terms to keep his comely caput in condition. A moderate sum was named and accepted. Thereafter the new customer appeared every day for a "close shave," with frequent additions of shampooing and hair cutting, and often twice a day. In short, the barber marvelled much at the rapid? ity with which this young man's beard and hair [pew, and the mystery was only solved after * considerable lapse of time, when one day "two of him" came into the shop at once for a shave. The original customer who made the bargain had a twin brother so exactly like him in personal appearance that "one couldn't tell t'other from which," and the two had been gettirg the attentions of the tonsor for the price paid for one. Why Do Men Dbink Intoxicating Li? quors??We have pondered in our minds the above question, and tbe more we think on it, the more perplexing it becomes. It is incom? prehensible to us how a rational being can drinl: the liquids from which he con derive no food, but on the contrary, u good deal of evil, fa man is bent on self-destruction, and resorts to liquor-drinking, his action is readily ac? counted for?he is desirous of putting a speedy end to his existence. And he could resort to no ot her more effectual means; for exposure to inclement weather will assist the poison in its work. If a man wishes his children to grow up ignorant, and to be a reproach to society, it is unnecessary, if he "tarrie3 long at the wine," for him to proclaim, by language, those desires ?it ;s a natural deduction. Hib actions speak, in stentorian tones, bis ungrateful and unhap Ey wishes. But for a man who is anxious to e respected in a community?to have his children educated and refined?and then drinks to e.vcess, is a problem difficult to solve. Nearly every vice and crime known in the catalogue is traceable to liquor?yet men will drinit ? Nearly all the estrangements and up? heavals of families result from the immediate use of liquor?vet men will drink 1 Notwith? standing the Scriptures say, "No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven," men will drin i even to intoxication?destroying not on? ly their bodies, but souls. Why is it? Why will men sacrifice their own well-being and that of their families for benzine? Who can answer? We cannot even conjecture. Even if men did not jeopardize their present and eternal welfare by drinking, we are unable to see my ben'se in drinking liquor. Certainly, nothing is gained morally, physically or finan? cially. The questions are asked in Holy Writ, Who hath sorrows? They that tarry long at the wine. Who hath wounds without a cause? Thev that tarry long at the wine; they that seek strong drink. We are amazed, astonished, that men will drink intoxicating liquors. We agai i ask why is this ? Let all heed the in? junction : "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup; for at last ? t biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder."?Temperance Advocate. Executions by Poisoning.?The New York Sun is discussing the proposition to substitute for the public executiou of criminals con? demned to death by the plan of putting them to death privately by poison without their ex? pecting it, in ways known only to the officers charged with the duty of killing. The motive (says the Sun) appears to be hu? mane, and it reminds us of an idea conceived years ago by M. Jules Le Chevalier, a French socialist. His plan was to substitute for the guillotine or the gallows what he called clec-! trie fulguration. The criminal was to be taken and life extinguished by an immense shock of electricity, which would overcome him with such inconceivable rapidity that he would not be conscious of the process. M. Le Chevalier advocated this reform with much eloquence, but we do not think he made many converts; and it is not likely that the new method is any more to be adopted. A Grateful Editor.?The editor of the Philadelphia Dispatch, together with hundreds of others of the profession throughout the country, has been made the happy recipient of some interesting reading matter, and he very properly expresses his thanks thusly: "We owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for the latest Patent Office Report. We already have sixteen hundred of these interesting volumes in our little library, but they have been read and reread so many times that we know every page of them by heart. The new volume came opportunely and gratefully on Christmas morn? ing, and that night we gathered our little fam? ily around the fire and read it through to them. The affecting tale entitled 'Improvement in Monkey Wrenches' seemed to touch every heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about 'Reversible Pie-boards,' there was not a dry eye between the front door and the stable. During the reading of the piteous narrative entitled 'Gum Washers for Carriage Axles,' the whole family gave expression to boisterous emotion, ana the hired girl was so much excited that she lost her presence of mind, and went around to her mother's inad? vertently with six pounds of sugar and a but? ter-kettle full of flour, and came home at mid? night intoxicated. We can never sufficiently thank Judge Eelley for the innocent enjoy? ment thus furnished us. The memory of that happy evening will linger in our minds very much longer than that hired girl ever lingers when she lights upon a substance which she thinks will suit the constitution of her aged parent." The Housewife's Table.?The following is a very valuable housewife's table, by which persons not having scales and weights at hand may readily measure the article wanted to form any recipe without the trouble of weighing. Allowance, is to be made for an extraordinary dryness or moisture of the article weighed. Cut it out and paste it up in some convenient place for reference. weights and measures. Wheat floor, one pound is one quart. Indian meal, one pound two ounces are one quart. White sugar, powdered, one pound one ounce are one quart. Best brown sugar, one pound two ounces are one quart. Ten eggs are one ponnd. Flour, eight quarts are one peck. Flour, four pecks are one bushel. liquors, etc. Sixteen large table-spoonsful are half a pint. Eight large table-spoonsful are one gill. Four large table-spoonsful are one half gill. Two gills are half a pint. Two pints are one quart. Four quarts are one gallon. A common size tumbler holds half a pint. A common size wine-glass is half a gill. A large wine-glass is a gill. A tea-cup is one gill. A table-spoonful is half an ounce. Travelling Thoughts?1. Eat regalarly thrice a day, and never between meals. 2. Take with you one-third more money than you calculate on spending.' 3. Take small Dills, rather than large, to avoid having bad money passed on you, in change. 4. Aim to be at your place of starting at least ten minutes before the time, grow merry and wise at contemplation of the splutterings and mishaps of those who come in at the last minute, and half a minute later. 5. See that your baggage is on the convey? ance before you are yourself. 6. Remember that you make your character as you go along, by the quiet courtesy of your manners. 7. Only boors are boisterous. 8. Do not let the servants excel you in polite? ness. 9. "Please" should commence every request, and "Thanks," end every service done. 10. A lady is always gentle* a gentleman always composed. 11. Never argue on any subject if there are more than one present besides yourself. 12. Never fail to set that person down as ig? norant or low-bred who, by word, or look, or low-bred who, by word, or look, or gesture, dis? parages a woman, a clergyman, the Bible, or the Sabbath day. A Fearful Story of Poverty.?The New York Times relates the following fearful story of poverty in Brooklyn: A seamstress was arrested the other day, in Brooklyn, for pawning clothing which sue had taken home to sew, and upon her examination the following evidence'was elicited: She as? serted that she was employed by a Miss Phil? lips, of this city, who paid her seventeen cents for making four pair of trousers, fifty cents for making twelve pairs of drawers, and twenty five cents for making six shirts. Because ehe did not finish the trowsers as soon as she had agreed to, Miss Phillips refused to pay her. and she thereupon pawned them to keep her family from starving. Here is a case that ought to interest those women who are contin? ually crying out against the tyranny of men. It was not a man who exacted from this poor seamstress euch quantities of work at such a preposterous price. It was a woman who re? fused to pay her the wretched pittance which she asked, on the pretense that she had not finished her work sufficiently soon. The Labor Question.?The want of labor can be diminished in a great measure by dis? pensing with much of it, in making one acre yield what four acres do now, as it takes as much labor to make three barrels per acre, as it does twelve barrels per acre, and sometimes more, for the crop on poor land has frequently to be worked a longer time than on rich land. And it can be supplied to a large degree if we enlighten our youth and dignify farm work; then thousands who run away from paternal fields, to become perhaps castaways, would re? main to swell the ranks of labor. People from other lands would prefer to immigrate to that section where all land-owners were working men?they would feel that there was less aris? tocracy and more congeniality with their new neighbors. Let the sons of our best families seize the plow handles, and labor will flow in like a mighty wave of the sea.?Maryland Far vier. ? A Connecticut boy, just learning to read, asked his father what Credit Mobilier was. ''It's our national game, my boy," replied the father, who, with the shrewdness of a native of the "Land of Steady Habits," was looking ahead. "You'll be able to play it when you get big enough and go to Congress." Notice to Contractors.
