Senator Hill calls it Murphyism.
[Rome Tribune.]
Goldsmith retired to the shades of obliv
ion as an office-seeker. M e pity tho man,
but glory in tho party which had tho brav
ery to purge its own ranks.
[Ishniaelito.]
The people ought to be wise enough notv
to beware of men whose highest ambition
is to get into office. No man can add digni
ty to an office, for the possession of which
lie is willing to enter into a corrupting and
shameless scramble.

The tanners are in convention in Georgia.
There is an opportunity for them to think
why raw hides go north from Texas and
Louisiana and come back again as leather
or in the form of boots and shoes. That all
leather needed for the south should be
made here is a fact the tanners cannot
hide.
[Constitution.]
We learn that Mr. Stephens is of tho
opinion that the disqualifying clause of
the sentence passed upon the late comp
troller-general by the high court of im
peachment is unduly severe. He says,
moreover, that had he been a member of
the senate he would have voted against
disqualification. Wo have no doubt that
the views of Mr. Stephens are the views of
nine-tenths of the people of Georgia.
Superior Courts in administering oaths and
issuing certificates to commercial notary
public. Passed.
Mr. Wright offered a report from the
Committee on Rules, declaring that no new
matter be introduced except by two-thirds
vote of the House.
Also that no member be allowed to speak
more than ten minutes, or more than onco
on the same question, except by consent of
two-thirds.
The report was adopted.
The Judiciary Committee submitted the j
articles of impeachment against the Treas- !
urer.
The articles are lengthy, and cover the j
matters referred to in the majority report
of the committee which investigated tho I
condition of the treasury. They were read j
by Mr. Hardin, the Assistant Clerk.
The time of the session was extended.
Mr. Turner, of Drooks, offered a resolu- !
tion that the articles be adopted and tho J
chosen managers of the impeachment pro- i
coed at once to exhibit the same at the bar
of the Senate.
EPITHALAMIUM.
[From the Pittsburg Post.]
General, do you think Grant has any de
sire to be President again? asked a Cincin
nati Enquirer reporter of Gen. Sherman.
“I am sure he lias not,” replied Gen. W.
T. ‘‘He would like to have employment,
but he does not want to be tho President of
the United States. I know him well. We
correspond, and I know he wants to get
into business so as to lie aide to make
money. He would like to have the Presi
dency of a railroad company or something
of that sort.” It is a little singular that
“Tecurap” didn’t think of giving up Grant
his own place and take a lower grade. It
might be done by act of Congress. But the
Shermans are not that sort of people.
[Atlanta Dispatch.]
In tiiese days of impeachment and crook
edness, cannot our people learn to avoid
sensation and flattery, lobbying and trick
ery, presumption and irresponsibility,
and dare to give honor to whom honor is
due?
Who says that present troubles would hu
miliate anil harrass us if office souyht the man
in Georgia? When integrity and compe
tency, instead of cunning and wire-work
ing become the essential requisites to po
sitions of honor and profit, precedent for
illegitimate gain will be forgotten, and offi
cials will no longer be prejudged or looked
upon with suspicion. It is easy to preach
public policy, but easier to practice private
interest, hence those are sustained whom
we condemn, and enterprises are patronized
that are acknowledged to be corrupt de
moralizing and unworthy of trust.
[Rome Courier.]
The New York Star is “happy to read that
the illustrious old southern stateman, Alex
ander 11. Stephens, will not. under any cir
cumstances, support Tilden for the next
presidency.” The star need not felicitate it
self upon the position of Colonel Stephens at
the time he spoke. Then he was under the
impression that there were not ten men in
Georgia for Tilden. At least he is reported
as saying so much about that time. W lien
the Colonel learns that the democracy of
Georgia will to a man support Mr. Tilden,
if nominated by the democratic convention
next year lie will forget what the Star has
said. And light here we would inform Col
onel Stephens, and all who may have any
faith in his judgment, that we can go to
the Courier office and call the names of
twice the number of Tilden men that ho
says lie could find in Georgia, who will re
spond to the call and say they are for Tild
en. In fact, there woui 1 be no opposition to
Tilden as a nominee had it not boeu for the
member from the eighth, and such as he,
who would land Grant when president, and
strengthen the hands of Hayes, the prince
of frauds, in his warfare upon the rights
of the states and liberties of the pimple.
September 23.—Senate met pursuant to ,
adjournment, and was called to order by I
the President.
The Door Keener announced that the j
House of Representatives were at the door
of the Senate.
The President ordered the House to in;
admitted.
The House entered, headed by the Speak
er and the managers appointed to conduct
tin: impeachment of Treasurer Renfroe.
The Speaker took his seat by the Presi- J
dent, the House disposed themselves about ■
the Chamber, and Mr. Cox announced that !
the managers would now prefer articles of
impeachment against Renfroe.
Manager Reese Crawford then read the!
articles.
SUMMAKY.
Article 1 charges the Treasurer with hav
ing received from Y. R. Tom me y the sum j
of $250 for depositing in the Georgia Bank- i
ing and Trust Company State money, to the j

and did share the same with the said John I

Article G charges generally the false and
and fraudulent conduct of the Treasurer iu
allowing and doing tiie things charg
ed in the articles of impeachment, thereby
Setting an unlawful precedent in the State.
The leading of the articles being concluded,
tho House, by Manager Crawford, asked
that proper notice be taken thereof. Presi
dent Lester announced that the proper ac
tion would be taken in the premises, of
which the House would receive duo no
tice.
Tho House then left tho Senate Chamber
and the Senate proceeded to discuss the
time of trial.
Senator McDaniel offered a resolution
that the Senate try the said case on next
Thursday, with notice to the defendant, and
also to the House. Agreed to.
My lady, lovely maiden tall,
Of her I sing this lay—
Indeed she needs it not at all—
Miss Mary A. MoCrea.
Her face the envious sun has stared upon,
And left it as he leaves the speckled sky,
When here and there a star, when day is
done,
And night in her dark hair shine won-
drously.
And sloes, whatever, sloes may be,
Her eyes-are Mack as those.
Her nose—that Is nose to see;
A truly pleasing nose.
Full many men have pilgrimages made
" here the Simoom o’er sandy deserts
blows
In shrines of gold and pearl tosee displayed
Less amiable objectB than that nose.
Her cheek—hew shall I speak of that?
Dawn-ruddy, round and sleek,
And eke of white a streak it hath—
It is a perfect cheek.
I 1 have strode o’er the Alpine glacier’s brow
And battled with the snows on many a
peak
Where bleak winds shriek, but never until
now
Have seen its like—except her other cheek.
Her lips, blest he who dips into
Their flower, their fragrance sips.
She trips (my muse) a-trying to
Describe those teeth and lipc,
For love’s soft play, or for beefsteak com
plete
A-pout without, or full within with pie.
Spare me some dentals and some labials,
sweet,
Enough to say the one you love is I.
White chin, with dimples in, I long*
To chuck you without sin;
I’m in a fever—’twould be wrong.
However, to begin.
Was ever stately throat so sweetly set
Beneath the fair, full curve of cheek and
chin?
I do not think so; I will even bet
So rare a thing will not be seen again.
Sink low, my song, and O, my muse,
Just shut your eyes or—go.
You know you ought. Butyou refuse?
Begin, then, soft and low.
White shoulders (in white muslin), baby-
waist,
Ruffles, rod feather-flowers, knife-plait
ing line,
Soft rounded arms by the slit sleevelet
graced,
Slim little hands—I wish that they were
mine.
1 want, as well, to vaunt her feet,
Which all description daunt,
As sauntering down the tickled street—
But really, now, I can’t
1 am about through with this song of mine,
Yet I have something I would like to sing.
Ah, would she What is that, ma’am?
You decline?
(The red-faced, dowdy, freckled, lean, old
thing.)
Weil, well; to deserts fresh_and glaciers
new
I fly; from you, believe me; not for you.

TRUE ECONOMY.
Daisy Drummond’s black eyes were flash
ing and her cheeks were crimson as she
stood listening to what Miss Gypsum
.said.
“It’s not true—not one word of it is true,
and I wont listen to such mean, venomous
slander!”
She had a sweet, ringing voice. She was
a graceful girl.
Her face was joyous and piquant, and
very pretty, with saucy eyes and a dimpled
chin; and yet sho was nobody but Miss
Josie Gypsum’s seamstress for the time be
ing.
Siie had been sewing merrily away, sing
ing little snatches of songs, feeling so gay
and happy, and thinking with all her heart
of Dick Kenneth, when Miss Gypsum came
into the room for a little chat with Daisy,
that had turned quite naturally on Mr.
Kenneth, whom Miss Gypsum had,daredto
asperse to Daisy’s face.
“Well, you needn’t look as if you were
going to knock mo down, Daisy. I’m sure
I’ve only said what’s the truth, and what
everybody knows. Kenneth is a regular
miser.”
The crimson brightened on Daisy’s cheeks
and she sprang up from her chair.
“It is not true—not one word of it is true,
and I wont listen to 6uch slander!”
Miss Gypsum involuntarily settled fur
ther hack in her chair.
“Dear me! you needn’t be so touchy
about it, need you?”
“Touchy! I am insulted, and you shall
not repeat sueli cruel-gossip to me!”
Miss Gy rant m shrugged her shoulders.
“But suppose it’s not cruel, but true kind
ness to tell you? I’m considerably older
than you are”
“I should say so!” flashed out Daisy,
sarcastically.
“And have had more experience in the
ways of the world,” Miss Gypsum went on,
discreetly ignoring Daisy’s caustic little
slashing, "and I tell you that when a young
man of Kenneth’s age begins to be as close
and avaricious as he is—as everybody sees
and knows—now, Daisy!—I tell you he will
end I iv being too contemptibly stingy and
miserly to live with.”
“But I tell you he is not close and avar
icious !”
“Well, then,” and Miss Gypsum's eyes
twinkled maliciously, “why is it that, on
the salary we all know he gets, ho never
spends a penny on you? You never get an
invitation to go on an excursion; lie never
gives you as much as a ribbon or a flower,
and when the employees his house con
tributed to the monument be was the only
one of a hundred who declined to give any
thing.”
“That was ids business, not yours,” blaz
ed out Daisy; “and when Frankie Walland
lay dying of diphtheria, and his own moth
er could not endure the child’s agony and
everybody else was frightened away, it was
my Dick who watched three nights by the
boy and held him iu his arms when he died
—so there, now!”
“Oh, of course that was very nice indeed
of him—very nice; but when it comes to
tiie money question, you’ll find your Dick
will not put his hand in his pocket. Mark
mv words, Daisy Drummond; you’d better
stay as you are and earn your own dresses
than to have your huaband refuse to give
them to you, and make yon earn them after
all.”
Daisy swallowed a host of furious words ;
that came rushing to her trembling lips.
Then site took off her little white ruffled j
apron and rolled it up.
“Miss Gypsum, you ean find some one
else to tinish your sewing. When you in- ,
sultuiy betrothed husband you insult me, i
and I will not stay where you are.”
So she went away, trembling with anger ;
and pain, leaving Miss Gypsum dumfound- j
oil and perhaps justly-chagrined.
Daisy’s o leeks were still crimson when j
she went into the tidy little sitting-room at |
homo, where her mother 6at.
“Daisy, what are you doing at home at \
Hus time of day ? What is the matter?”
“That horrid Miss"G?f»HinTi 1 Such t«lk
about Dick you ne<Mff]!f<viJpI In your life! j
f?he dared to spoaklo me as if she were a :
privileged liiend— tin’ nasty, censorious j
creature! and I’ll never, never set another
stitch for li“r us long as I live!”
Mrs. Druiqmoud’s thin Ups compressed
themselves into au unpleasant Uooand lier
forehead puckered itself Into a fretful
frown. «.
“You are such a raqhJuit tampered child,
Daisy, ami to think you’re hwt such a good
payment, steady place as Miss Josie Gyp
And Miss Jo.sie Gypsum actually has the
audacity to call occasionally on Mrs. Dick
and is profuse in her admiration of Daisy’s
husband, while Daisy’s mother and broth
er insist that they always so honored Dick
Kenneth—such a persevering, prudent,
prosperous man as he always was, such a
model husband and provider as lie is.
BEAUTY AND UTILITY.
[San Diego (Cal.) Herald.]
San Diego possesses a genuine heroine in
the |>er$oii of a beautiful young lady named
Miss Lawrence. Last Tuesday a band of
wild cattle were being driven through the
streets when one of them singled out a child
at play and started for it. The vaquero,
who was drunk, fumbled from his horse
as lie attempted to turn the furious animal.
At this moment Miss Lawrence came along,
and taking in- the situation at a glance
Sprang into the vacant saddle, ran down
tiie wild steer, threw her shawl over its
head just as it was about to gore the child,
and. taking advantage of the confusion of
the I least-, rode up to tiie child, and without
1 .‘living her saddle reached to it anil lilted
It into her tap and then carried it off In
safety. This was not only a genuine act
of heroism but an exigbitiou of horseman
ship such as fe w, if any, In this section could
equal.
The House met at 9 o’clock and was called
to order by the Speaker.
A bill to provide for the election of a judge
of Putnam county court. Passed.

See another column.—Philadelphia Fret*.
people talk about him -cal! him a mean,
stingy, avaricious raiser—and not say a
word?”
Mrs. Drummond gave a little sigh that
somehow made Daisy feel uncomfortably
vexed.
“Well, Daisy, I suppose you know your
own business best, blit other people besides
Miss Gypsum have noticed how—well, how
very economical Dick is. On Christmas I
really felt ashamed to be obliged to say
that he had made you no present.”
Bright tears were sparkling on the gill’s
lashes.
“Dick and I perfectly understand eacli
other, and if I am satisfied, I can’t see who
else need worry themselves about it! I
didn’t promise to marry him for what he
should give me.”
“If you had I’m afraid you’d find your
self mistaken. Are you going to stay at
home the rest of the day or going to Mrs.
King’s?” asked her mother.
“I shall stay at home and make my black
cashmere.”
And she was sitting in the sunny window,
busily sewing away, a few minutes before
dinner, when her brother came in, and Hung
himself on the lounge.
“I’ve just left Kenneth, Daisy. What a
mean stick he is! I asked him to join our
club and lie refused—‘Couldn’t afford it,”
he said. Rich, aintit, mother?—only him
self to support. Wish you joy of your luck,
Daisy!”
It was just the last straw on the camel’s
back.
Daisy rushed out of the room, the hot
tears of vexation and indignation on her
lashes.
“He’s not stingy—he’s not mean! He has
his reasons; he is right in what he does,
and I love iiim better than all tho world.
Only”
And tiie wistful shadow of that vague,
troubled “only” was yet in her lovely eyes
when her lover came to her that night, an
unusual gayety in hi6 manner, and, it seem
ed to her, an unusual tenderness.
“Shall you be busy to-morrow afternoon,
Daisy?” lie asked, as they stood saying
adieu. “Because, if you can spare the time,
I want you to take a ride with me out into
the country a little way. You've never gone
anywhere with me yet, dear, because I
could not afford to take you. But to-mor
row I am going to be a little extravagant.
Will you be ready at 2 o’clock?”
A radiant light suddenly dispelled that
vague shadow that had been hiding in her
eyes all the evening.
“Oh, I am so glad! Wiiat a lovely treat
it will be! Indeed I'll be ready.”
She was thinking—loving foolish little
girl—that at last, at last Dick was silencing
gossiping tongues.
And lie was thinking—well, he did not tell
her what; only when he took her in his
arms anil kissed tier good night, it seemed
to Daisy he never iiad loved her so well.
The country was regally beautiful in its
fresh green robes when they drove leisure
ly out from the noisy city streets that next
day, Daisy looking like a blooming rose
with her happy, Hushed lace and shining
dark eyes, and Dick so proud of her sitting
beside him.
II was a happy ride, only it seemed im
possible when Dick, taking out his watch,
said it was supper time.
“And I am hungry as a hunter. Daisy.
This fresh, pure air is a capital tonic for an
inhabitant of tho city. How would you like
to live in the country?”
Daisy laughed.
“How wicked you are to tempt me with
such a question! You know it has always
been the one dream of my life to have a
home in the country, and when I—when we
—get rich, Dick, we’ll have it, wont we?”
She Hushed in her sweet confession, and
Dick smiled in her eyes as he reined In the
pony at the roadside.
“I am going to get out here, Daisy, and
ask tiie good people of this place to bestow
a bowl of milk on us benighted travellers.
Shall I tie the horse or will you hold her?”
Daisy preferred to hold her and Dick went
in the low rustic gate, that Daisy thought
the very loveliest she had ever seen.
She watched Dick up the gravel walk to
the house.
Such a beautiful little Gothic cottage as it
was, with bay windows, where ruffled cur
tains fluttered in the soft spring wind,
where everything around was in such spot
less order and savored so of home.
It was so sweet, so restful to sit there in
the flickering shade cast by a tree, and
when at length Dick made his appearance
she had quite forgotten that it was milk
they wanted.
There was a curious gravity on his face
as ho camo up.
“I (ind the people here unusually hospit
able, Daisy. We are invited in to rest and
refresh ourselves. Come.”
Leaning on her lover’s arm, Daisy enter
ed the lovely little hall, with its pink and
gray Brussels carpet, its hat-rack and mir
ror, its stairs carpeted on suite with the
parlor, that open' on one side—a long room,
into which Dick ushered her with an elabo
rate how.
“And now, Miss Drummond, tell mo what
I shall order for you!”
Then, at her look of astonishment and al
most startled surprise, he suddenly caught
her in his arms.
“Daisy, darling, this is the home I have
been making for us; it is mine—ours, dear,
ready and waiting for tho hour when you
shall tie crowned queen over your kingdom.
Now, you know, dear, why I have been so
careful of my money. I wanted a nest for
my bird!”
And Daisy sank down in a lovely little
maroon-eushioned chair and cried for joy.
Then they went over the delightful little
“nest,” where everything was in the most
perfect taste and, as Dick said, only wait
ing, as was the pleasant-faced girl in the
kitchen, for the mistress to come.
“And for my special bridal gift, Daisy—
my special present to you for your own ex
clusive use—his.”
And he led her back to the pony and
chaise, the rapturous tears so blinding her
eyes she could scarcely see.
“Oh, Dick! Dick! I am not worth so
much!”
He kissed her as he took his seat beside
her.
“I am the best judgo of that, my darling.
Here, take the reins; Bess is yours on one
condition; that my wife drives me to our
dear little home in a month.”

SEPTEMBER.
[Scribner’s Magazine.]
The golden rod is yellow;
Tiie corn is turning brown;
Tiie trees in apple orchards
With fruits are bending down.
The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling iu the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spuu.
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters iu the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads aii flutter
With yellow butterflies.
By ail these lovely tokens
September days # arc here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.
SABBATIA.
Upon the margin of a reedy pond,
Held in tho hollow of low rounded hills,
Where Silence, like a presence, broods
and thrills,
I found Sabbatia. As a lover fond,
Flying the mistress of his heart to greet,
Forgets the world in reading her sweet
eyes,
And cries, ‘For me God makes a Paradise!’
So, sitting happy at Sabbatia’s feet,
Bathed in the sunshine of her rosy smile,
I murmured, “Twas forme she grew so
lair!’
For answer lightly glided here and there
A blue-winged dragon-fly; a bird the while
Thrilled one clear note; tall rushes stir
red; and near
I caught tho glisten of the sun-dews tear.
—E. S. F., in Lippi licet t.
CHOOSING A KITTEN.
There were five, and tiiey found them in
tiie hay—
Five little kittens, stowed away
Ss snug and warm
And far from harm
That, had it not been for the children’s
play,
They’d have lived in secret to this day.
Jack put the yellow one in his hat;
The black one nimble, the white one fat,
He claimed beside,
Then Teddy cried;
“I speak for this!” and “speak for that!”
(None left, you see, for the poor old cat!)
Old Pussy had thought herself so wise,
But what can you you hide from the child
ren’s eyes?
“So beautiful!” said
The breathless Ted,
“They’re all asleep, and all of a size!”
And they bore to the house the wondrous
prize.
Did mamma smile? Ah, no! she frowned:
Anti the rest of the children gathered round;
And Teddy heard
The dreaded word;
“’Tis very fortunate they wore found—
Keep one; but the others must be drown
ed !”
Then each would choose! So down t hey sat;
’Twas this one first, and then 'twas that;
Each making choice
With an eager voice,
Of tho white or the gray, tho slim or tho
fat—
Just which he chanced to be looking at.
Ted said, at last: “We can’t spare none!”
(His grammar was poor, but his tactics
won.)
* “We’ll hide them away
Again in the hay!
Put two in your hat and run, Jack, run!
We’ll save thenwill!” And it was done.
— Wide Awake.
WHO IS TIIE TRI E GENTLEMAN?
A LESSON IN POLITENESS AND HUMAN NA
TURE TO THE RISING GENERATION.
[Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.]
“I beg your pardon,” and with a smile
and a touch of his hat Harry Edmond
handed to an old man against whom he ac
cidentally stumbled the cane which he
had knocked from his hand. “I hope I did
not hurt you. We were playing too rough
ly.”
“Not a bit!” said the old man, cheerily.
“Boys will be boys, and it’s best they
should be. You didn’t harm me.”
“I’m glad to hear it;” and lifting his hat
again Harry turned to join his playmates
with whom he had been frolicking at the
time of the accident.
“Wha[. do you raise your liat to that old
fellow for?” asked his companion, Charles
Gray. “He’s only Giles, the huckster.”
“That makes no difference,” said Harry.
“The question is not whether he is a gen
tleman, but whether I am one.”—Moral Ex-
chav tjc.
THE STORY CONTINUED (ON THE COMSTOCK.)
“What kind of taffy Is you givin’ us?”
demanded Charles Gray, with a sneer.
“It’s the true racket,” replied the noble
boy, proudly.
“Aw, pull down yer vest,” was tho rude
retort.
“I’m the gamest rooster o’ my size in the
ward,” cried Harry, his blue eyes flashing
with honest indignation at the implied
doubt cast upon his motives.
“See here, cully,” said Charles Gray,
thrusting his hands into his trousers pock
ets, spreading his legs wide apart and clos
ing one eye, “See here, cully; give us the
business. What’s yer game in doin’ the
nretty by that old snoozer? None o’ yer
Sunday-school pie now, but biz—the cheese,
you know. You don’t think he’s got any
scads hid away iu a sack that he’ll leave
you in his will, do you? P’r’aps yeh think
he’s long on Serry Nevady, but yer off. He
aint worth a short bit an’ he came out o’
soak yesterday after bein’ in for five months
for petty larceny.”
“Peel yer rags, Gray," hissed Harry
through his teeth. “I’m on it bigger’n a
wolf, an’ yer scalp’s mine.”
“Peel goes,” rejoined the wicked boy, and
in a moment after Virtue and Vice were
rolling in the dust on Howard street, with
all the boys in the neighborhood gathered
around offering odds, with no takers, that
the ear of Virtue wouldn’t hold out longer
than the teeth of Vice. Old Giles, observ
ing the crowd, hastened back and quietly
gathering up the jackets and hats of his
young fnends hobbled sadly away.
FAITH.
[Indian Pioneer.]
The following is an incident on the recent
return of some British officers from Af
ghanistan : Scene—The wildest part of the
Khyber, with barren rocks towering on al)
sides; an English officer riding along, es
corted by a motley company of maliks and
tribe—men all armed to the teeth; more
armed Alreedees in the middle distance; a
weary, lonely flgure toiling, on the dusty
road in huge black boots, face burned a
brick red and fringed by a scanty sandy
beard. The figure is clad in a thick wad
ded garment and has a bundle on its back.
“Halt! Who are you?” “A Turkestani.”
“Where are your comrades?” “I am alone.”
“Where are you going?” “To Mecca.”
“How will you get there?” “God will help.”
“Peace be with you.” “4nd with you.”
The figure moves off, and the armed circle
breaks up. This poor devotee had tramped
hundreds of miles through hills and val
leys, swarming with cut-throats, secure ip
his simple faith which had led him to lea^e
distant Turkestan in quest of the stiff
ott distant Mecca.
