WHAT 1 LOVE.
(Boaton Transcript.)
I love the playful little lamb
I love him broiled or roast;
I love the feathered songster, too—
I think him best on toast.
I love the fish that swim the sea
Fresh from the frying pan;
I love the retired oyster, too—
. I'll eat him when I can.
1 love to see the squirrel brisk—
Through the top sights of my gun; i
I love the gentle, lowing kine—
In tender steaks, rare done.
I love the bird, I love the fish,
I also love the beast;
O, give me all I want to eat,
rll have a grand love feast.
DIPLOMACY.
Frederick I.ant.siikif.
I doted on tiny Bora,
That sweet little queen of fays.
And I knew that the darling loved me,
In spite of her teasing ways.
But, whenever I spoke of marriage,
Her answer was plain and pat:
•‘l’ve too many things to think of
To y>ink about things like that.”
Dora, brighter than sunshine.
Sweeter than flow’rs in blow,
Oh, if you love me, Dora,
Why do you tease me so ?
I couldn't get on without her;
I paced in my lonely room.
And thought how her magic presence
. Would brigthen its drowsy gloom—
Her thimble and work on the table,
Her flow’rs in the window light.
And herself, all dimples and roses,
Pouring the tea at night.
Dora, brighter than sunshine.
Sweeter than flow’rs in blow,
Ob, if you love me, Dora,
Why do vou tease me so ?
I bought, in despair, a license,
I caught her and held her fast;
“Oh, Dora, look here, my darling,
The license has come at last.”
“How horribly mean she murmured,
As soon as surprise could speak;
“But rather than lose the license —
Shall it be this day week ?”
Dora, my household fairy,
Dora, my rose in blow,
• Oh, but I love yon, Dora,
Sitting beside me so.
A BI'RULAR CAUGHT.
Pursued For * Hundred and Seventy-five
Mile.,
Thursday night, January 19th, about 3
o'clock, the jewelry store of E. J. Crane, on
Broad street, a few doors above Kollock,
was entered by a thief, and jewelry to the
amount of SSOO carried off. Mr. Crane
awoke just in time to see the thief depart
ing, and fired three or four shots at him,
but failed to hit him. The thief carried off
Mr. Crane’s gold watch, valued at SIOO.
Among the plunder were several watches
which had been placed with Mr. Crane to
be mended. A search was instituted for
the stolen property and a considerable por
tion of it was recovered. This property
was traced to a negro named Randall Har
per, and it was ascertained that he had left
the citv and had gone up the river on a
Petersburg boat. Lieut. Prather started
out last Wednesday night in company with
Mr. Crane, in pursuit and found that Har
per had left the boat and gotten on a train
of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad at
the point where it crosses the river. Ex
pecting that the fugitive had recrossed the
river higher up, in order to go to his former
home, in Lincoln county, near the Wilkes
line, Lieut. Prather continued up this side
of the river, in pursuit, and finally cap
tured him at the house of Harper's father,
between Danburg and Petersburg, in Lin
coln county. He secured his man and
brought him back to the city, reaching
here Sunday afternoon. Harper was com
mitted by the Recorder yesterday, for trial
.by the Superior Court.
Lieut. Prather certainly displayed great
“■orgy and determination, as well as skill,
in capturing Harper. He rode fully one
hundred and seventy-five miles over hor
rible roads, deep in mud, and did not stop
until he caught his man and brought him
back to Augusta. He rode four nights and
lour days and slept only one night.
OGLETHORPE COUNTY.
A Bad Crop Year and a Commercial
Failure--What In Needed in the Coun-
(Cor. Chronicle and Constitutionalist.)
Lexington, Ga., January 25. - The notice
in the Echo, of this week, by J. T. M. Haire,
assignee of Haire A Latimer, to all the debt
ors of the firm to come forward and settle,
has in it greater significance than the em
barrassment of a firm whose assets sum up
$50,000 and whose liabilities reach sll,-
000. The equilibrum of the commercial
world will scarcely be disturbed by this in
terchange of assets and liabilities, but the
causes underlying are germinal end in their
development calculated to alarm. The firm
thus temporarily involved has for a number
of years ranked high in the confidence of
■dealers and customers, and enjoyed the
merited popularity at home of honest and
lenient dealing, but in this instance, per
haps, the qualities that insured their repu
tation wrought them disaster. The secret
of the suspension is revealed in the figures.
The fact that a firm doing a general mer
chandise business has on the Ist day of
January assets amounting to $50,000 and
cannot meet their liabilities for but little
more than the fifth of that amount, points
to the condition of the surrounding
country whence their debts are due.
Oglethorpe has suffered from a drouth
unprecedented in years and an extrava
gance encouraged by flattering prosperity,
extravagance that contracted debts with
facility, trusting to the abundance of a sin
glecrop fertilise payment, she crop failed
and the debts remained unpaid and assign
ments, deeds, mortgages and all manner of
securities known to the law, and numerous
hybrids unknown to it, have followed
-quickly in the wake. As a people, wo pan
buy anything but rain, and the absence of
this eeiscntiid commodity on the market
makes us bankrupt. The argument that
we buy too much and raise too little is the
stocl- idea of the humblest tiller of the soil,
-.ind is, doubtless, often seriouily impressed
■on the humble beast he plows, whsc hun
gering tor the food his muscle is no faster
in producing— and it in io other aspects of
the question we would call attention. Tie
recent act of the Legislature, giving to the
wholesale merchant summary proccsto col
lect his demands against the country denier,
operates with this manifest injustice to the
latter. His wares are sold in small quanti
ties, to a number of individuals of varying
reepomii'ility and capacity to pay. If
crop fails, his expectant resources are Idasted
and his accouat goes by default. Universal
failure brings about universal default, his
merchant is dosed oat. and his assets sacri
ficed without mercy or Indulgence. The
guano agent has a lien u«t attaches to
the life, temporal aud spiritual, and if the
meal that breaded him is not paid for it mat
ters nothing to his heartless cry for his
pound of flesh and every drop of blood.
Efiis, then, is the reel hardship. The mer
«Mttit who furnishes, to avoid the contin
gency of failure, must lie iwvnred out of his
lands, goods and chattels in an jruount that
will cover his probable necessities. The
cost of this security enters into the price of
goods. To this is added a per cent, for
tosses, notwithstanding his security, and in
this way he pays a price double the money
value of his purchases. Hie cotton is fixed
in price by rings, bulls and bears, subject
in quantity oi production to the caprices of
a climate as uncertain ss polities. And so
it is that the luckless tarmcr of our country
bears, at heavy odds, the buraen of sup
porting the entire non-producing ereuivat
of our population. Oglethorpe barely paid
the interest on what she owed in 1881, and
three-fourths of her lands are tndsy enenm
cuinbeted by lien-, of mortgages tor pur
chase money and by deed; and, languish
ing under such crippled resources, she is
further oppressed by the inequality of leg
islation that favors the money power against
the hard toiling farmer, witli no resources
but his brain and the uncertainty of the
seasons. Agricultural economy is the true
-field for Mahoneizing Georgia. If poverty
was adjudicated crime, punishable by
.mprkormienk you might impose the sen
tence by encircling the agricultural dis
tricts of the country with walls. H.

(iARFIELirS PLANS
TO RELIEVE THE SOUTH FROM PO
LITICAL EVILS.
Negotiation. Between tile Martyred Pree
ident and the Southern Lender*—Plane
and a Platform Prepared For a New
and independent Party.
(Philadelphia Frees.)
i New York, January 23.—1 n the busy cor
ridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel I met a
gentleman who oould do more than conjec
ture as to the meaning of the following par
agraph:
“Less than one year ago there was some
hope—more than a mere suggestion—that a
great and elevated movement was possible
which would lift the country out of the mire
of sectional hatreds, and form our political
parties on living issues adapted to every
section alike."
“In Senator Ben Hill’s letter to Dr. W.
H. Felton, the ‘Georgia Mahone,’ ” said he,
“the above paragraph appears. It is the only
reference in Mr. Hill’s long arraignment of
Dr. Felton and denunciation of the inde
pendent movement in Georgia, to what, at
one time, promised the most important po
litical movement that has taken place in the
United States since the war.
“Immediately after General Garfield’s
election it was evident to every one that
there was serious discontent among the
Southern Democratic leaders. They were
disgusted with the action of the Northern
Democrats, and with the multiplied party
defeats for which they counted them re
sponsible. They suddenly awoke to the
fact that the people of the South were.not
in accord with the policy of the Democratic
party upon economic questions, especially
that of the tantf.
“ ‘The defeat of Hancock,’ to put*it in
the words of one of the foremost Southern
leaders, ‘created a strong feeling in the
South in favor of abandoning allegiance to
the cowardly, 'hide bound Democracy of
the North, and starting out upon new is
sues and with new associations that would
drive war and sectional questions forever
out of onr politics.'
“This was the patriotic view ot the situa
tion that Gen. Garfield’s election presented
to Southern Democratic leaders. But it was
coupled with the personal menace to each
and every one of them that made them
quicken to the idea of abandoning their sec
tional attitude and making a new deal that
would save their political supremacy. The
disintegration in Virginia was so strong as
to be alarming, and if it should be success
ful it would open a new difficulty that
would be hard to subdne. To avert this
danger some of the most eminent Demo
cratic statesmen in the South banded them
selves together in the hope of discovering a
coalition with certain Northern elements,
which would elevate party character in the
South, and prevent discontented Demo
crats from forming an alliance with the Re
publican party there, as now organized.
“To that end a suggestion was made to Gen.
Garfield, almost immediately after his elec
tion, through Northern Republicans favora
ble to the movement. Gen, Garfield asked
for a definite statement of the aims and
'purposes of the Southern leaders, and there
are now in existence several letters which
passed upon this question between General
Garfield and some Southern statesmen whom
the country would now least suspect of lib
eralism.
The Important Letter!.
“The first letter penned to the late mar
tyi President, in response to his request
for this information, stated what every
observing man who has traveled South,
be he Republican or Democrat, well knows,
that the Republican party there, as at
present organized, is in the main with
out practical force of honest purpose.
It is simply a political organization in
name, to keep a few designing men in
office, mostly of questionable reputation;
and to repel elements of natural force which
would have long since vitalized the Repub
lican party of the South but for the pro
scriptive policy of its no called leaders and
the disrepute which clung to their manage
ment of it. To be sure, the Bourbons add
ed to] thfe complications and misery of the
section by const mt acts calculated to make
Federal office holding a reproach, and were
guilty of fraud, violence and proscription
which, prejudiced them and their section in
the eyes of the only people who could re
lieve them of the Burden of which they
complained and open up a new way for re
lease fjojtn bourbon methods and the irro
sponsiidu tc-preseptation of Federal affairs in
the late rebellious States.
“The letter recited the further fact that
the better element of th„ Democratic part/
of the • South was ripe for a revolt against
the National organization, and a coalition
with the higher elements of Republicanism
upon now and broader questions than had
heretofore characterized political discus
sions and party management. It is stated
that a permanent and tenexcept division of
the South must be upon the plain of ft com
plete obliteration of war issues, and 4 dis
tinct nnd emphatic avowal, both by act and
expression, on the part of the Northern end
of the new force, of any disposition to hu
miliate ti.u .South or to hold them as crimi
nals for acts co.-.mjtted in rebellion, That
it also be made mam.ajt by the new Ad
ministration that it would n'otvpprove co
alition between a few dissatisfied
and the Republican organization, as at pres
ent lu iuued, bqt would aid, abet and
strengthen a n«.w Bj/yement which should
include the better eiemeßt of the Demo
cratic party and Ito recognized Isadfjrß.
The New Revol&tioß.
"The man is in New York now, a North
ern Republican, whose name is known all
over the land, who held a conference with
Gen. Garfield upon this question and han
dled the correspondence above alluded to.
“Th»a .correspondence resulted in a con
ference between .(Jeneral Garfield and some
eminent Southerners to t£e city of Wash
ington before he was inaugurated presi
dent. During the session of Congress
which preceded General Garfield’s occupa
tion of the Presidential office, this question
of a new Boutharp movement upon the
basis above indicated took Fide range and
became the subject of frequent popsplta
tion nnd conferences between Southern
political leaders, who are now eminent in
both halls of Congress.
“ ‘You would be surprised,’ said the dis
tinguished Northern gentleman, who gave
me all tiie Liformatioh I am now writing,
‘to know th«j TBitapt jpd character of that
movement. The men wfol jr.er.e giving it
force and character went so la, Uj lbe,con
sideration of the questions which uatuiaiiy
grew out ot such a proposition, made in
good faith nnd looked upon with favor by
the ineotoipg administration, as to formu
late and expreM & platform of principles
upon which the new dspir.ir.re was to be
made.*
Laying the Foundatinp.
“The platform, as framed, sets forth that
the war liax forever settled the differences
upon wliich the two sections made their ap
peal to aims; that the tsoulh not only ac
qniesqpa, but rejoices jn the resell of the
conflict; tuat the war itself, teryitye as we>c
its immediate <eaul£s, and as U
disturbed the constitution of the ,co,uptry,
has been a blessing to the South, and that,
the abolition of slavery in this Republic is
a blessing to all mankind.
“Accepting this as the sense of the South
ern people the North emphatically disavows
any intention of humiliating them, holding
them criminally responsible, proscribing
them for acts done in the rebellion, o» mpp
acing their happiness and prosperity by a
further agitation of sectional issues.
“The object of iusbo avowals is to obliter
ate the prejudices of the past apd to bring
the country together upon a bro(u| platform
of mutual interest and mutual loye.
“Recognizing tha necessities of the coun
try, it distinctly declared sg?.ipst the avow
ed policy of the Democratic party for a
‘tariff for revenue only,’ and reasserted and
reenunciated the tariff principles of Henry
Clay, which have done so much to bnild np
the industries of the State of Pennsylvania
aud other great commonwealths of this
Union.’'
• The princiju.u of ths Republican party
upon the financial queetitm, ps well as upon
the tariff, were practically accepted and re
asserted, and the whole paper was 'upon a
broad and advanced plane.
Only a Ultac Eye yiew.
••Thia gives you but a faint idea of the
docunmtit either in extent or language; but
it is the foundation of the paper as I cun
recall it at thia <kisi~nee from the event. It
was the most powerful sua<J patriotic move
ment eve« started in this country, and had
' Gen. Garfield lived I believe ft woaid li£ye
I succeeded. The wisest and best politicians
i of the South were heart and soul in it, and
• while they would have had a struggle, they
would uo doubt have carried their people
with them.
••It had Gen. Garfield’s warm approval,
as J believe it had Mr. Blaine’s. It is
probakay -lead now, certainly for some
time. The of Mahone in Vir-
ginia naturally d,tive» eminent
element of the Democratic party? »iui
its leadership (.outlined in the move
ment of which I have spoken), back
into a bond of union for self-protec
tion. In other Jr ords, the success in Vir
ginia. I fear, rehatuiuai.ee> iad strengthens
the Democratic party of the heuli.. The
polio? pf the Administration toward Jlr-,
ginia" mv.M Rurally be followed in other
Southern States, igd in none other have
they the same force oi as in Vir
ginia. Certainly no other indapesdeut j
leaden u. the South can claim anything like .
the following thM Mahone has had for sev
eral years. Then, ti,' union with the Inde
pendents, even if it bring* success, cannot
approach in dignity and import*.*. -g the
movement J have outlined to you. Qne
would have >;•<%} permanent and upon a
broad and patriotic basis the other, if
achieved, will be by a combination of the
worst political elements of that section snd
will not represent its strength or intelli
gence.”
••Was the new movement to have a name
gathered outside of the two great parties?” |
“I think nat. Os course the movement
had not reached a fulminating point, so
that it could be named. The object was to
strengthen its lines and perfect its organi
zation before the nominating convention of
1884. so that it sonld have taken advan
tage of whatever would have added to its
influence in naming General Garfield's suc
cessor. It might have taken the name of
Republican and perhaps would have done
so with Garfield as its candidate. I
think his contest with the Stalwarts was
strengthening that movement every day,
and was not only preparing the North to
accept it, but the South to grasp it. So yon
see Garfield's death interrupted a move
ment of which the people little dreamed.
One day this correspondence will be given
to the 'public, and the eminent Southern
leaders, who are now, for self-protection,
forced back into a close alliance with the
Democratic party and all its bad methods,
will avow the movement I have simply indi
cated to yon, and demonstrate to the conn,
try why it was not successful." F. A. B.
CHHONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1882.
SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.
Important Meeting Ye»terday—Confer
ence of Citizens of Augusta and of An
derson, S. C. ——•
A meeting, at which were present his
Honor, -Mayor May, the members of the
City Council, the President and Directors
of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad and
prominent citizens, was held at the Mayor's
office yester-noon, in the interest of the
early completion of the Savannah Valley
Railroad. There were present also Col.
Latimer, President of the said road; Chief
Engineer, T. B. Lee, and Gen. W. W.
Humphries, a representative citizen of An
derson.
Mr. May presided, and. in stating the
object of the meeting, referred to the de
sirability of the connection which the con
struction of the Savannah Valley would
give to Augusta and to the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad. He was himself per
suaded that, in the matter of freights and
trade, there was not a connection toward
which Augusta looks that is fuller of prom
ise than the one under consideration. The
meeting had been called to the end that an
interch»nge of views might be had between
the committee which represented the Sa
vannah Valley Company and the officials
and citizens present. The primary object
had in view was to determine whether or
not we could extend to the Savannah Val
ley authorities the recognition they were
desirous to secure.
Mr. May then introduced Col. Latimer,
who briefly explained the object of his
committee’s mission. The committee was
here by authority of the Board of Directors
of the Savannah Valley Railroad. Under in
structions, he and bis colleagues wished to
ascertain to what extent Augusta was will
ing to aid them in the completion of their
road. Fifty-live thousand dollars had been
subscribed to the road and about one-third
of that amount, possibly more, had been
paid in, and, with the exception of $2,000,
expended in grading fifteen miles of the
line from Anderson to Dorn’s Mine, on the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad—the dis
tance between which latter points was fifty
seven miles. If Augusta would come for
ward with a subscription of forty thousand
dollars, they stood ready to close the books
of subscription and the completion of the
road would be assured. As long as he
could remember, Augusta had been the pre
ferred trading place of the people of his
section. The committee waited simply to
hear what Augusta would do in this emer
gency.
Maj. Lee gave an interesting description
of the work which has been done on the
road, the character of the country through
which it is proposed it shall run, the
streams (3) which must be crossed, the cost
per mile of the fifteen miles now graded and
ready for the cross-ties and the prospective
connections at the other end of the line.
Ninety-five thousand dollars would suffice
to put the fifty-seven miles in readiness tor
the cross-ties.
Gen. Humphries said the people along
the line needed the road and they proposed
to have it. If Augusta would aid them, the
road could be got in running order by the
time the next cotton crop is ready for mar
ket. They were not desirious that the
Savannah Valley should be made a branch
road; they wanted a through line from
Anderson to Augusta. His own peo
ple would promptly come to the assist
ance of the road the moment they
were convinced that the authorities would
be extended aid by Augusta. In any event,
the road would be built. It would be only
a question of time. If Augusta responds as
she ought to this proffer of the Savannah
Valley, the work could be pushed rapidly
forward. Contrariwise they, themselves,
would build it by degrees. Meanwhile,
they would be open to aid, not unlikely,
from other quarters.
President Verdery endorsed all that had
been said as to the importance and desira
bility of the proposed unification of thein
teress tof Augusta and of that section of
South Carolina, of which Anderson is the
representative town. Ho had studied the
question in connection with other questions
to which the construction of the Augusta
and Knoxville Railroad had given rise. He
believed that Augusta could not make a
more profitable investment of forty thous
and dollars than to put it into this enter
prise. He believed that the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad had saved to the citizens
of Augusta this Winter, in wood alone a
sum equal to the amount subscribed l»y the
city to that road.
Mr. Estes said that what Col. Latimer
and his committee wanted was a subscrip
tion that will guarantee the completion of
the road. The only way to do was to look
that question squarely in the face. He was
satisfied that any attempt to raise the $40,-
QOO by private subscription would be time
wasted, juet the city and the Augusta and
Knoxville inauageirtant put their heads to
gether and devise the ways and means
whereby the object sought may be accom
plished.
Gen. Stovall moved that a committee of
live, together with the Mayor and the Pres
idept of the Augusta and Knoxville Rail
read, ho appointed to devise ft plan that
will enable eur people jo act favorably on
the proffer made by the authorities of the
Savannah Railroad. Adopted, and the
Chairman appointed the following gentle
men as said committee, viz: Messrs. Stov
all, Estes, Walsh, Z. McCord and W. C.
Sibley.
On motion of Mr. Estes, Capt. Young,
Chairman of Finance Committee of the City
Council, was added to the committee.
It was agreed that the committee should
Ipeet in the Mayor’s office at 7:30, p. m.
TJie Committee held a qieeting the
Mayor’s office i»t 7.30, p. ffi. Ail the mem
bers were present. There was a full inter
change of views, and the committee were
unanimous in the opinion that Augusta
must not let this opportunity pass for secur
ing so valuable a feeder to the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad. Steps were taken look
ing to early action in that direction, and it
may be regarded as a certainty' that a
sufficient subscription will be raised
to complete the grading of the road
and to place it in control of the people of
Augusta. This should be done without de
lay. The road is a very important ope to
the interests of Augusta, and should be
bnjjt.
It is known that inijuentifil parties arg
endeavoring to obtain control of the Au
gusta and Knoxville Railroad, and it is
probable that there will be developments in
the matter in a few days.

The Psddlere Striking.
PH<Kxiarnxz, Pa., February 2.—The
puddlers formerly employed by the Pho
nix Iron Company, but who went out on a
strike a few days agv, were paid off to-day.
The committee waited upon the company’s
manager, and proposed to go to work and
make six heats, when they could, within
hours, but the proviso was not altogether
satisfactory and no definite conclusion was
reached. The company are not disposed to
have outside associations say how they
shall conduct their business. The works
will be idle until such time as they can be
started in a satisfactory manner. The pub
dlers have left for other mills.

ATTENTION, GEORGIANS.
Inauguration nt the Arthur-Longstreet
Move in Georgia—How the Dissatisfied
Democrats Are To Be Worked.
Washington, January 26.—1 n the matter
of Presidential recogniion in the Southern
States, the President is giving the cold
shoulder to the old crowd, which, for the
past twelve years, has run the alleged South
ern Republican party in several States. He
does not give them any encouragement. On
the contrary, he tells’ them that they must
give way to other men, who may do some
thing where the old crowd have failed. The
colored brother who has been the most
prominent in Republicanism in the South
is especially given to understand that his
day is over. There was quite a scene the
other day between the President and one
of the colored Southern Republican leaders.
The leader was Pledger, Chairman of the
Republican Slate Central Committee of
Georgia. Ever since the war Pledger has
been a sort of “tail” holder to the party in
Georgia ; he was accorded a private inter
view by the President. He told the Presi
dent that there was a good chance for the
party now in Georgia if everything was
well managed.
“What would you suggest?” asked the
President.
Pledger then began to parcel>out the of
fices in Georgia to suit himself.
“By this plan,” interrupted the Presi
dent, “can you elect a Senator in place of
Hill; cun you defeat either Hill or Colquitt ?”
Pledger said that he did not think it
could be done.
"That’s just it,” said the President; “you
people have had your trial; you have’ac
complished nothing. The way was point
ed out to you in Virginia, but you would
not follow. You must give place to other
men. You have done nothing, and yon de
servo no further recognition as party mana
gers. There are other people who say they
can do something, and they talk like meii
of business. They will have the recognition
of the Administration.”
The men to whom the President has in
trusted the future ot the Republican party
are Gen. Longstreet, Mr. Atkins, formerly
Collector of the Port of Savannah, and one
oi- two others, including Mr. Emory Speer.
Gen. Longtreet has developed into a regu
lar politician. He is manipulating things
for Republicanism in Georgia with as much
zeal as he used to fight on the Confederate
side. His plan, in which he has the Presi
dent’s support, is not to “put a single Re
publican on the State ticket; to give the
nomination to the young and dissatisfied
Democrats and the Independents.” The
Arthur-Longstreet combination has com
menced operations against the “Bourbons
of Georgia.”
It should be stated that right after his in
terview with Arthur, Pledger checked him
self in his candidacy tor the postmastership
at Athens, Ga., a place which pays about
$2,500 a year, and went in to get the Sur
veyorship of the Port of Atlanta, which
pays but S4OO.
The Old Reliable.
(Covington Star.)
We publish the advertisement of the
.“Old Reliable” Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist, of Augusta. It is one of the solid
newspapers of our country, and contains
among its corps of editors some of the
finest writers of the present day. It will
soon be one hundred years old, as it was
established in 1785. it has withstood the
gtorms of many a political contest and
financial panic, and to day it seems to be
sailing along as placidly through life’s
tempestuous sea as if nothing had ever
happened to disturb its tranquility. May
it continue to live and prosper for centuries
yet to come, and, as it has been a "land
mark” in the past, may it ever be a “bea
con light” in tho future for the genera
tions yet unborn.
Now For False Eyelashes.
Tho Parisians have found out how to
make false eyelashes. Ido not speak of the
vulgar and well known trick of darkening
tho rim around the eye with all kinds of
dirty compositions, or the more artistic
plan of doing so to the inside of the lid.
No, they actually draw a fine needle thread
ed with dark hair through the sljin of the
eyelids, forming long loops, and after the
process is over (I am told it is a painless
one) a splendid dark fringe veils the co
quette’s eyes.
