AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lunge:
none so trifled with by the majority of sutler-
era. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. 1 tried Ayer’s Cherry Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral' saved me.
Horace Faiubrother.”
Rockingham, Vt., July 10,1882.
• Cfoup. — A M other's Tribute.
“ While in the country last winter my little
boy. three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if lie would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested tlie use
of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. Thi9
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved niv darling’s life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Siueerely yours,
Mrs. Emma Getvsey.”
159 West 128th St., New York, May 16, 1882.
“ I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds we have ever
tried. A. J. Crane.’*
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and after trying many remedies with no suc
cess, I was cured by tile use of Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral. Joseph Walden.”
Byhalia, Miss., April 5, 1882.
“I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as I do that
but for its use I should long since have died
from lung troublos. K. Bragdon,”
Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882.
No case of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will alumijs cure when the disease Is
not already beyond the control of medicine.

Dear Sir—For 3 s ears my wife has been
a martyr to dyspepsia and kidney disease.
I employed the most eminent Physicians,
but she grew worse daily. Three months
since her ease was pronounced incurable,
but at this time some one sent me a circu
lar cf the Daniel Mineral Spring. I ordered
a barrel which arrived three weeks since.
My wife commenced using it at once, and
to-day she is in good health. A low weeks
since she was a mere skeleton and her
friends thought she would never be well
again. This change has been wrought by
ttie Daniel Mineral Spring Water.

The friends or Blaine do not despair. No
candidate has ever been defeated in a cam
paign for the Presidency merely because
he was a bad man.
John Kelly of Tammany Hall, New York,
is credited with saying we can win witli
Bayard but never witli Cleveland. ’We
know more of Bayard than Cleveland.
Bayard is above all reproach.
Poor Mr;. Garfield hopes that in the

TnE No-Fence Law in Richmond Coun
ty.—Without going into particulars. Judge
Roney lias declined to grant the petition
restraining the operations of tlie no-fence

We say again we have no guesses to
make as to the nominees of the Democratic
convention. It is uncertain who may be
chosen to bear the Democratic Banner in
the approaching contest, we believe they
will lie true and good men. around whom
the democratic hosts will rally with untir
ing zoal and devotion until tho battle is

He should bear in mind Butler’s celebrat

“Some compound for sins they’re inclined

The Atlanta Constitution says:
“Tlie Chicago News advises tho south to
let bygones be bygones. This is eloquent
advise when you come to look at it. What
kind of a bygone is it that is not a bygone?
In other words when does a bygone drift

A day or two before tho meeting of the
Republican Convention the New York
Herald had a remark printed which it
alleged Mr. Blaine had made, to tho effect
that “the Republican nominee, whoever
he may be, can not be elected this year.”
This being denied. It was reported, by Mr.
Blaine, the paper reiterates it and declares
that “he has dared not deny it to the
Herald;” that It can prove by four good
witnesses that ho said it. Mr. Blaine
however, has a summary way of dispos
ing of proof, as Mr. Mulligan can testil y.
If the past teaches anything it teaches
that the true policy for the democracy to
pursue tliis year is to nominate a man for
the presidency who lias not been promi
nent as a leader in Congress. With Polk
and Pierce the Democracy went to victory.
Yet when they were nominated, the ques
tion arose all over the country—“who is
James K. Polk? Who is Franklin Pierce?”
They soon found out, for both were elect-
od, and they gave tho country two of the
cleanest and most distinguished adminis
trations it has had sinco Jefferson’s.

and indefatigable Professor, J. Cuthbert
Shecut, Prineipa of the school, has prepar
ed a fairy extravaganza entitled “The Sto
len Jewel” which will be a leading feature
in the entertainment. Past exhibitions of
this school givo assurance that Hie occa
sion will be one of a high order and supe
rior interest.
Senators Brown and Ingalls.
In tlie Senate on the 18th, Mr. lugalle charged
Senator Brown with falsifying the Record and
committing a forgery upon the records of the
Senate. (Sensation.)
Chair.—“The Senator is cut of order. If he
had any accusations to make he should make
them in a different way.”
Mr. Beck(sotto voce) ‘1 would not answer that.’
Mr. Ingalls—“The language there was not ut
tered jo debate and Is susceptible of offensive in
terpretation."
Mr. Brown—“I decline to make anv reply to
that.”
Mr. Ingalls—“I supposed he would.”
Chair—“The Senator from Kansas is out of
order.”
Mr. Brown addressed the Chair.
Mr. Ingalls—“1 have the floor 1 believe."
The Chair agreed that Mr. Ingalls had the Hour
but said in the opinion of the Chair the Senator's
remarks imputed improper conduct to another
Senator, "if there be no objection." the Chair
added, "tlie Senator will proceed in order."
Mr. Ingalls—Thai mode of attack required
about the same amount of courage that is ex
hibited by the man who waited till his enemy
was asleep and then stabbed him." He moved
that the language to which he had called atten
tion. lie expunged from the official record of the
debate.
Mr. Gorman objected to tlie present consider
ation of the motion, and It went over till to
morrow.
Mr. Brown said he intended to say something
in reply, but as the matter was to go overlie
supposed he would be heard to morrow. He did
not wish it to unchallenged. Be did not intend
that any inference of acquiescence by bun should
be drawn from the fact that the matter was go
ing over.
On llie following day Senator
Brown repelled tho charge with the
force and spirit characteristic of the
man, but we do not deem it necessary
to publish all the remarks of either
Senator. No man who knows Senator
Brown will believe that he did what
was charged. It is enough for us to
state that the distinguished Senator
from South Carolina stated that he
was sitting by Senator Brown and
heard him use words to tlie effect ns
reported in tho Record, and Senator
Hammond stated that when Senator
Brown made them, Senator Ingalls
was not in his seat but was in the
back aisle of tlie chamber. Owing
to on affection of the throat. Senator
Brown is sometimes not distinctly
heard all over the chamber. Senator
Hammond’s testimony is sufficient to
discredit the unjust and ungentle-
manly remarks of Senator Ingalls.
Those who know Senator Brown
would notice, contemptuously, any
insinuation as to his want of person
al courage. On that point his friends
have feared his courage might tempt
him to put in jeopardy the sacred
obligations resting upon him as a de
voted member of the church. In
galls, anti not Senator Brown, has
lost reputation in this controversy.
State Democratic Convention.
This body assembled in Atlanta on
Wednesday to appoint delegates to the
National Democratic Convention to bo
held at Chicago, July 8th. .
Col.J. H. Estlli, of Savannah, as chaV-
tutui of tin' Democratic executive commit-'\ernateHlHon J
tee, called the convention to order. Col.
Estill Lu icily stated tho object of the meet
ing, and counselled that the body get
about its business without delay.
For temporary chairman the names of
lion. L. F. Livingston, of Newton, and
Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb county, were
mentioned. Major Baeon, at the sugges
tion of his name, roso and graceiully de
clined. The convention therefore elected
Mr. Livingston temporary chairman. That
gentleman was escorted to tlie chair-and
addressed the convention very brielly, ad
vising harmony and dispatch of business.
On motion of Col. W. A. Harris, of Worth,
Mark Hardin, Henry C’abaniss and John
C. Campbell were elected temporary secre
taries.
CALLING THE BOLL.
Mr. Jordan, of Hancock, offered a reso
lution, which was adopted, that ttie roll of
of counties be (-ailed by the secretary, and
that eacli county send to the secretary’s
desk a list of its delegation. After the roll
was completed, Mr. Brewster, of Coweta
moved the appointment of tho usual com,
mittees on credentials and resolutions.
This was opposed by Colonel Harris, of
Worth, on tlie ground that the commit
tees wen; at, tliis time unnecessary. The
motion was withdrawn. .

The immemorial institution of tri
al by jury, which for centuries has
been regarded as one of tho most es
sential rights of the citizen, and one
of the most effective barriers against
absolute power, is itself on trial to
day, and is required to show cause
why it should not be discarded and a
more effectual method of administer
ing justice substituted for it, or at
least why it should not be reformed
so as to yield more satisfactory re
sults. Some suggestions for tho im
provement of the existing jury sys
tem, presented by Judge ltobert'C.
Pitman in the North American Ee-
view for July, under tho title of “Ju
ries and Jurymen,” should, in view
of recent notorious miscarriages of
justice, receive tlie serious consider
ation of every thoughtful citizen.—
“American Economics,” by Prof. Van
Buren Denslow, is a lucid and forci
ble exposition of the grounds upon
which the protection theory of na
tional economy is based. Judge
Noah Davis writes of “Marriage and
Divorce;” Dr. P. Bender, whose sub
ject is “The Annotation of Canada,”
sets forth the advantages likely to ac
crue to the United States from the
absorption of the Canadian provinces:
Prof. D. McG. Means, in an argu
ment against “Government Teleg
raphy,” subjects tho management of
the Post Office to a most searching
criticism; Charles T. Congdon writes
of “Private Vengeance;”and finally,
there is a symposium ou the “Future
of the Negro,” by Senator Z. B.
Vance, Frederick Douglass, Joel
Chandler Harris, Senator John T.
Morgan, Prof. Richaid T. Greener.
Gen. S. C. Armstrong, Oliver John
son, and others.
The Blaine and Logan men say, the
opposition to them will soon blow
over and the Republican party will
become a unit and easily elect them.
We place but little reliance in getting
a large independent Republican vote
for the Democratic candidates. We
must put up strong men of irre
proachable character, and in man
ning the ship let no man tread tlie
quarter deck whose faith is doubtful,
or courage cannot be relied upon to
weather the storm whether it rides to
victory or is lost in the waves.
We will not trouble our -readers
with the movements of politicians
in favor of their respective favorites.
The Democratic convention assem
bles at Chicago on the 8th of next
ir<>nth and then we will soon know
who will be our standard-bearers.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Iii some remarks recently made by us,
we would not have it understood that we
are opposed to cultivating a policy that
would unite aii the uations upon tlie Amer
ican continent, in tlie deepest and most in
timate commercial and political sympa
thies. There is in South America an Em
pire, that of Brazil. It any State in South
America should prefer a monarchical form
of government, we have no right to inter
pose objection to it. We have alluded to
Brazil and we may add that between that
country and the United States, there ex
ists tlie most friendly and cordial relations,
in no little degree promoted by our iate
distinguished Minister to that country,
the Hon. Henry W. Hilliard. If a foreign
power were to undertake to conquer a
South American State, to overthrow its
free institutions, and establish a despotic
and arbitrary government in its stead, we
believe it would be out - duty to l'esist it.
That would bo in accordance with ttie
Monroe doctrine. So would it be to resist
the efforts of European governments to
overthrow republican institutions any
where in Central or Soutli America, to cre
ate powers to antagonize the free institu
tions of tlie United States. Wo make tliis
brief explanation lest some views, recently
expressed, may be misunderstood, and we
do so the more readily from the fact, that
our country, more extensive tiia.ii the old
Roman Empire, with now, nearly sixty
millions of inhabitants, and increasing in
population with great rapidity, could
ciieck sucli foreign attempts by its power
ful republican mandate, without a resort
to arms. In a single century, our popula
tion increased from throe millions to fifty
millions, and if It should increase in the
Same proportion in another century, we
would have a population of one hundred
millions. Such a power, with even com
mon intrepidity and vigor, could dictate
its policy for this whole continent and
command obedience. It would be pre
sumptions as yet to issuo an ipse dixit
commanding the world’s obedience. We
have ever desired that our country would
bo a model for the world’s imitation, and
for that reason we have hoped that on the
strength of its captivating principles, its
maxims of justice and freedom, the whole
raeo of man would be regenerated and
emancipated in the course of time. The
dogmas, of violence and terror, must be
overthrown, and it can only be done by ox-
ample. Lot us feel the weight of the glo
rious mission coiilided to us in our great
experiment to give freedom and justice to
all ttie nations of the earth.

It would take two brass bands and twen
ty steam engines to keep tho “rosy Loclt-
rano” in position, and then they might
fail. An Irishman by birth, an American
by adoption, a Georgian by education, a
pupil of eleemosynary protection, so to
speak, and a grown man honored by Geor
gians in places where fame and money
most do congregate—he raises his hand,
with a dagger therein, to kill tho people
that protected and taught him, and tlie
very rights his native land lias so long
fought for and thereby endorsed tlie
worst of slavery. Yet, with all tliis just
censure aud criticism, the writer of tlie
lines above, loves tho man. He is a gen
tleman. His pocket and purse have been
opened wide whenever a genuine ease of
charity, or an object worthy of benevolent
consideration was presented. He is a good
man—lovable man—but his politics!

permanent chairman.
Hon. Robert Mitchell, of Thomas, took
the floor, and in an eloquent speech pre
sented to the convention for its permanent
chairman, tlie name of Hon. William E.
Smith, of Dougherty. In the course of the
speech and his splendid tribute to the
popular Georgian, Mr. Mitchell said he
could not offer the convention a perfect
specimen of physical manhood, as a por
tion of tin; body of the gentleman propos
ed is sleeping in tho blessed soil of old
Virginia.
Mr. Harris, of Worth, seconded tliis
nomination.
Mr. Ben Russell, of Bainbridge, also
Seconded it.
Hon. 1!. H. Carlton, of Clarke, moved tho
election of Mr. Smith be made unanimous
ami witli a rising vote. He was so elected.
Hon. 51. A. Candler, of DeKalb, moved
tho appointment of a committeo to con
duct the distinguished gentleman to tlie
chair.
M. A,Candler, of DeKalb; Robert Mitch
ell, of Thomas; W. A. Harris, of W’orth.and
Gen. P. M. li. Young, of Bartow, wero ap
pointed and discharged their pleasant du
ty at once, and tho permanent chairman
took the chair amid very hearty and en
thusiastic cheering ami clapping of hands.
The permanent chairman, thanking the
convention for the honor conferred, ad
dressed the body on tlie situation and the
grave and responsible duty before tin
A short time ago the duty would have been
easy and pleasant, referring to Samuel J.
Tildeii, the mention of whoso name was
greeted witli applause on the iloor and in
tho galleries. Striking at the corruption
of tlie Republican party, he said it was a
grand moment for Democracy, and
grand opportunity to go into power at
tliis election. It is therefore important
that this convention select, its delegates to
Chicago wisely.
On motion of Mr. Peeples, of Gwinnett,
the temporary secretaries wero made per
manent officers of tin: convention.
Mr. Lush, of Mitchell, moved tho ap
pointment of a committee on Democratic
platform.
Mr. Russell, of Decatur, inquired what
tlie platform of the Democratic party is.
It was moved to lay this motion on the
tuble. The motion was tabled.
Mr. Russell, of Muscogee, moved liio
election of four delegates and four alter
nates from each Congressional district.
A motion was made to table this resolu
tion. which was subsequently withdrawn.
An amendment was offered striking
out “four” and inserting “two” as regards
Congressional delegates.
Mr. Tatum of Dado offered a substitute,
that the convention proceed to elect, viva
voce, four delegates from the State at
large.
The amendment was adopted. The sub
stitute was lost.
Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, offered as a
substitute that tho candidates for dele
gates at large who receive the highest
number of Votes be declared elected, and
the four who receive tlie next highest
number of votes be declared alternates.
Mr. Jordan, of Hanoock, offered as a sub
stitute for the whole that the convention
proceed to Die election of four delegates
from the State at large.
The amendment offered by Mr. Calvin,
of Richmond was lost. On motion of
Hon. T. B. Cabaniss, of Monroe, the sub
stitute was amended so as to read “a ma
jority of all the votes cast' instead of “the
highest.”
The original resolution came out of tho
amendments and substitute in tliis shape;

al resolution of thanks.
THE DELEGATION.
Since the adjournment of the convention
the delegates elect and alternates have
had a meeting to make arrangements for
the trip to Chicago. It was found that a
very important feature will be the expense
at Chicago. If tlie delegation engages a
a parlor, which it must, the expense for
that item alone will be fifty dollars a day.
It is proposed also to engage eleven rooms,
which will cost $16 each per day. These
two items will make the daiiy expense
$220. Estimating that tho delegation will
be in Chicago five days, the cost for those
items will be $1130. There will be other
necessary charges and the total was to
day estimated at $1300.
A committee of arrangements were ap
pointed to confer with the railroads and to
provide for suitable accommodation In
Ciiicago.
Some of tlie railroad men propose to have
a special car leave here on the Saturday
afternoon before tho convention meets and
get into Chicago on Sunday morning.
FUR CLEVELAND.
The delegation, as far as their views
could be ascertained, favor the nomination
of Cleveland, with probably McDonald for
the second place on the ticket. It is quite
certain that the feeling in the delegation
to-night is almost a unit for Cleveland, and
unless something shall happen to prevent,
the vote of Die State will be cast for him
in the convention.—Correspondent Tel. &

No Use for Them Now.
Editors Union & Recorder :
In tho long,long ago it was the custom of
old people, uncles, aunts, and parents to
entertain tho children and young people,
with wonderful stories, amusing incidents,
Ac., of the past, which were listened to
with eager delight.
Who is there now living at the age of fif
ty or upwards, who cannot recall many a
bright epoch of their childhood days, or
nights rather, when gathered around tlie
sparkling (ires of their happy childhood
homes, listening with eager ears to tho de
lightful stories of some aged visitor, rela
tive or friend. Then it was that aged visi
tors were met beyond the gate with cheer
ing welcome from hearts that know no de
ception. What an influence then had age
and experience over childish Innocence and
inexperience, how dearly united were the
hearts or the aged and the young. Is it
now as it once was? Do the children of to
day feel the same interest in, and affection
for tlie aged as in the olden time? The
aged will answer tliis question in tlie neg
ative. And why?
The Art preservative of arts, lias mado
as rapid progress in material improve
ment as any other Art. Books and papers
full of interesting stories are placed with
in easy reach of every child in the land.
All the old and new stones, and incidents
calculated to please the children are plac
ed before them; and the old uncle or aunt
who tries to interest a child with a story
old or new, will find that tlie child has a
bettor version of it tiian themselves. Now
it is natural for old folks to love children.
A thousand and one attractions bind the
aged to thoj young—but alas!, the re
verse is not true—there is nothing in the
wrinkled race, the hoary locks and sunken
eye, to attract the young. How then are
tlie aged to interest and attract the young?
They cannot engage in their romps and
plays, thov have no interesting stories to
tell them, personally they aie repulsive,
rather than attractive, hence their good in
fluences over the minds of tho young are
rapidly passing away and being lost in the
busy rush of natural progress. Christ
taught his Desciples verbally. Saul sat at
the feet of the great Jewish teacher. But
the children of to-day are moulded by
books. Is there a remedy needful? If so,
what is it aud who will givo it?
Old 5Ian.
A Debtor’s Sermon.
Janies Fennell, one of the earliest of A-
merican tragedians, who died in 1816, was
constantly getting in debt. Ho started at
New London some salt-works, which fail
ed in toto. When, after this he came to see
me at Boston, I asked him how he had con
trived to pacify his creditors at New Lon
don, lie related to me that on the Sabbath
before lie quitted tho salt-works—as they
were getting clamorous lor their money—
hejinvited them all to assemble there to
hear him deliver a discourse, promising
that the 'doctrine therein set forth would
be very much to their satisfaction as well
as ills own. The congregation, though
consisting merely of his creditors, proved
to be a very large one. He met them at
tho appointed time, and taking up his sta
tion at a point where he was conspicuous
to all, he gave fortli the text which he was
about to expound : "Have patience and I
will pay you all.” This lie divided into two
heads—first, arid most importantly—the
virtue of patience; lastly and referentialiy
—tho act of paying. On this, no doubt, his
auditors formed two conclusions; first
that to display the virtue of patience might
be the best religion, but, secondly, that
the act of paying was most applicable to
trade; and considering themselves prima
rily men of business they would regard
the latter point (witli ail due deference to
Fennell’s opinion) as direct instead of ref
erential, and by far the more important of
the two. However, lie proceeded with ids
exposition, and placing Patience at the
head of the cardinal virtues, and giving it
the pre-eminence over every quality which
can udorn a man’.-, character, every feeling
which can animate his bosom; aTter eulo
gizing and apostrophizing, commending
aud recommending it with all tiie glowing
words and most beautiful images his llorid
fancy aud learned brain could suggest
(though from the uneasy manner in which
his auditors all listened, the doctrine was
evidently doing very little for their con
version.) he at length came to tiie second,
and far more attractive division of the
text, “I will pay you all.'’ Pronouncing
these words witli much emphasis, lie look
ed them all iu the face for a few moments
in silence, then deliberately added, “but
not being prepared to treat upon this point
at present, Imust defer tiie opportunity
till it shall please Providence and the Bos
ton managers to afford me another—” say
ing which he turned upon his heel and hur
ried from the spot.—Retrospections of the

PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
General Toombs on the Situation.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger:
“Cleveland will be nominated. He is tho
man.”
The speaker was a man of strongly
marked features, whose iron gray hair fell
in wavy bands from beneath his Panama
hat. The eyes that shone wide open, be
neath shaggy brows, were frank and kind
ly. There was a decision and energy In
the voice. The hands of tne speaker
rested on the cane ho held, as he leaned
forward in his chair. Age was written in
the slight stoop or tlie shoulders and tlie
deep lines of his face; youth and strong
manhood flashed in his terse, positive lan
guage; tlie same old mental vigor in Ills
quick conclusions. This was Gen. Robert
Toombs, the most picturesque figure of the
South, past and present.
‘He is your choice, then?” said a gen
tleman present in the editorial room.
No; my personal preference is Bayard,
but I see in Cleveland the man for the dem
ocrats to win with. Blaine is tlie worst
man the Republicans could have selected.
Logan does not strengthen the ticket. I
say my preference is for Bayard because
there are rascals in tho Democratic party
as well as in the Republican, and under
Bayard I know tney would have the least
chance. But Cleveland is the man to win
with. He is a man with a purpose; he is
associated with an idea; iiis platform is
simpiy reform; it goes with his name; he
will be nominated, and you will bo surpris
ed at his majority, lor those people never
do things by halves. Who would have
believed he could carry New York by 190,-
000 majority ? Upon his name Massachu
setts may bo carried, and the doubtful
States made certain.”
What chance has Flower?”
I know Flower. He is a good mercan
tile man, but why should Flower be nomi
nated above a hundred others? The pub
lic will answer tho question. It will be
said he has a barrel. The commercial idea
ought to be eliminated from politics. The
Democrats ought not to show sympathy
with it by selecting a man whose distin
guishing claim is a ‘barrel.’ ”
“Y'ou feel confident the Democrats will
win?”
"1 do. If they don’t win this time noth
ing but a revolution could ever x'emove the
Republican party. I h ivc never felt as
confident of victory since 1852. If tlie par
ty fails now it will be evident that the gov
ernment, is given over to the worst ele
ment. It will not fail. Y’ou will be sur
prised at the extremity of the majority.”

BLAINE.
The Cincinnati News draws this little
photograph of the statesman lrom Maine;
“As speaker, Mr. Blaino was ready,
thorough, firm, and generally fair. Ou
tne iloor of tlie house lie was combative,
vigorous, sensational; his career fairly il
lustrated by the debate which put years of
ill-will ’twixt him and Conkling, because
he stood so little in awe of tlie New York
sham statesman as to call him a turkey
cock, and by his great Andersonville
speech, which was violent, terrific, unfair,
onesided, but brilliant, ;jnd perhaps re
ceived a larger hearing than any speech
delivered since the war. It had the merit,
too, of calling out Hill, of Georgia, bring
ing out botli sides, and convincing each
that war is war, and prison life generally
a thing both sides can well forget. Per
haps Air. Blaine lias rendered the country
no better service than when lie summoned
aii war passions to the foie, and tlie coun
try laid them to rest. With that excep
tion, 5Ir. Blaine has not been a violent or
unfair sectional partisan, although always
perfunctorily a thorough partisan.
New York, June 21.—Senor Suarez, the

ing dispatches addressed to the Governor-
General of Cuba in consequence of Blaine’s
nomination, He says that not only has he
no knowledge of the commissioners being
about to sail for New York to confer with
tho Spanish Minister aud himself on the
subject of the sale of Cuba, but that the
whole story is absurd. He is sure that
such a project was never entertained by
the Spanish government.

Eatonton is on a boom in real estate as
the following will show. A writer to the
Constitution says;
51r. C.D. Leonard, a prominent dealer,
said; “Some high prices have been paid
for real estate recently, and the demand is
steadily increasing. The Reid sale was
an evidence, the house and lot brought $4,-
500, and 51 r. Clark M. Davis, the purchas
er. has already refused an advance on tlie
price. Mr. J. It. Sparks made a purchase
of 5Ir. W. C. Leverett of firteen acres of
unimproved ground for $1,050 which was a
good sale. I made a purchase myself of a
half acre of the Reid Jot unimproved for
which I paid $320, and am very well satis
fied with my bargain. Mr. i. H. Adams,
Jr., purchased one acre of land near the de
pot. for which he paid $426, and thought
he was securing a bargain . Tlieso are cash
transactions Ispoak of. The city property
is not for sale, and is being held for high
er prices. The advance on real estate lias
been fully 75 per cent in the last five years.
A prominent merchant said: "I tell you
we pay as much store rent as merchants
do in cities much larger than ours; why I
pay $600 a year for my house, and you
would bo surprised to hear of tlie prices
paid by others.
Probably tho worst that can bo
said about Mr. McDonald is that he
was once a United States Senator.

5Iuch lias been written about the “faco
divine,” its power and attractiveness, its
beauty and rep nisi yen ess; but if there be
anything that declares the immortality or
the soul, tlie personality of God, and a de
sire for life aHer death, It is tlie human
face. It is that which gives individuality
to man aud impresses as to his or her
character, and invites or repels advances.
It is the desire to be recognized after
death when we take on our jwimoital na
ture, that give9 argument to a belief in Im
mortality.
Not to recognize those wo loved on
earth, to look into their spiritual faces,
would tie akin to a desire for annihiliution.
It is the pleasant and joyful smile of re
cognition the human heart thirsts for
when it puts on its immortal nature; it is
the bright and inviting eyo of love or
friendship that we will look for; for in tho
face we read the character of tho soui, its
longings and desires; its hopes, its fears,
its joy or its sorrows.
Of the millions upon millions of faces
tiiat have looked upon tho world and left
it, and of the millions that now tread tho
earth, no two are just alike. A wonderful
thought, and strange as it is wonderful.
Tho faces of animals all look aliko of their
kind, and simply because they have no
souls. As faces differ, so thoughts and
feelings differ; hence, the great lesson of
charity tlioreby taught by the hand of na
ture and nature’s God; be tolerant, be pa
tient, be forgiving one to another.
Woman’s face, like her form, i6 the most
attractive feature iu all nature, “The hu
man form divine’’ has been the study of
artists of thousands of years, for to them
it wa3 and is tho perfection of all of God’s
works; thus “high art” pictures are high
art thoughts,—God portrayed in His last
best work.
The human face is divided into the Ob
long free, the Hound face, tho Pyriform
face, or pear face. In nature, all is connec
tion and harmony. Hence to disfigure tiie
face iu any manner contrary to the laws of
harmony, is but creating or cultivating
ugliness or deformity, where nature in
tended and stamped beauty. The fore
head, next to an impressive eye, is wo
man’s greatest benuty. To cover that, is
an attempt to blot out tho hand writing of
God, for Ho has written our characters on
our foreheads, and we are told in Eevela-
tions, that tlie redeemed ot earth will have
the name of God written on their fore
heads.
5Iere regular features in woman cannot
be called beauty, There must be some
thing back ot the features to givo expres
sion to tlie face. If the eye bo attractive
and magnetic, it will make a plain face
beautiful. Tlie mouth may have a win
ning and inviting smile, and proclaim lov
ing qualities. The forehead may be broad
and expansive and declare intellect and
thought, for intellect is ever attractive.
We have in the different classes of faces
or woman; 1. The simply handsome face,
or handsome features; 2. Tho attractive
face; 3. The winning face; 4. Ttie invi
ting face; 5. Tlie pleasant face; 6. The
commanding face: 7. The gentle face;
8. The innocent face; 9. Tiie inquis
itive face; 10. The cunning race; 11.
The aggressive face; 12. Ttie passive
face; 13. The humorous face; 14. Tlie se
rious face; 15. The insipid or non-expres-
sive face. The eye, the mouth, tho lips,
the nose, and the- forehead will give ex
pression to each class named, and make
tho faco express just what tiiose features
may elect as to the impression it desires
to make. Tho eyo and lips can attract,
win, electrify or invite, and yet never a
word be spoken. They can also repulse,
disgust or inspire by their expression, pas
sive or active. The forehead commands
respect, for it declares the reserve force
hid back and ready for action when arous
ed, and when one reads force and power (
there they will be slow in arousing it; for
it is the seat of thought, a tablet where
every emotion ia distinctly impressed.
Idiots, imbeciles and those races low in
the order of intellect and force of charac
ter, have low foreheads. The display of
the forehead is a display of character, and
to hide it under a mass of hair is to ape
the ape and claim him for a kinsman.
A COLD JUNE.
From Augusta News.
For a few days past a common expres
sion is dally heard on tho streets: “Did
you ever see such weather In June?” Of
course you say no, because you have not
kept a tally of tho mercury for former
years, and the coldness or June, 1882, has
slipped your memory.
The following Is the register of a ther
mometer kept at Summerville for the year
1882 and 1883, and was noted daily;

Last Christmas a Harlem man surprised
his wife by presenting her with the price
of a seal-skin sacque and a few days ago
she surprised the HarJem man by present
ing him with a pair of twins. This servua
to show that if a wife is done a kind favog
she’ll endeavor to return it in some way.
