A large meeting of leading officials
of the railroads of this and adjoining
States met in Atlanta last week to
make arrangements to change the
gauge of their roads from five feet,
which is the width between the rails
throughout the Southern States, to
four feet eight inches, which is the
width in the Northern States. Then a
train can leave Maine and run to New
Orleans without change of engine or
cars. Each road will make the change
by having a multitude of laborers
scattered all along its line, in one day.
The changes will probably be made
by the roads consecutively; as for ex
ample, from'Nashville to Chattanooga,
one day; the next day, the State road
from Chattanooga to Atlanta; then
the Central will make the change the
next day from Atlanta to Savannah.
Other connecting lines of road will do
the same and it is confidently believ
ed it can he done with very little de
lay in the transportation'of passen
gers or freight; for the same thing bias
been done repeatedly before. It is
expected that this very important
change, together with the change of
the distance between the wheel of the
trucks, will be accomplished some
time in the month of Mav.

A SOLDIER’S TRIBUTE.
Mr. Editor :—Rarely, if ever, in
my long connection with your paper,
as a subscriber, has its columns
brought me such painful intelligence,
as was conveyed in the account of the
tragic death of J. A. Beall, published
iii your issue of the 13th of January.
And I cannot refrain from paying
this sad tribute to his memory. As a
bright and joyous boy he mustered
with my company “The Governor’s
Horse Guards” and remained with us
throughout the war. He soon be
came my Orderly Sergeant, and sleep
ing with one of my Lieutenants in the
officer’s tent, when we were so fortu
nate as to have one, and riding with me
at the head of the company when we
were on the march, he and I were of
course constantly together, and I had
thus the opportunity of knowing him,
as perhaps very few have ever known
him. I can truly say the Confederacy
hiul no truer son, and our army no
better soldier than Jim Beall. Bless
ed with uninterrupted health and
with a remarkable degree of manly
vigor, sickness rarely ever called him
from the ranks; and brave and fear
less, he was ever ready to respond to
the call of duty. 1 am sure that there
were few soldiers in the army who ,
missed fewer tours of duty than he
did. Reared in affluence and accus
touted to all the luxuries wealth could
purchase it would have seemed only
natural had he soon grown tired of
the danger and hardships of a Con
federate soldier's life, hut such was
never the case; on the contrary, to
the last, he was as devoted to our
cause, as he was the day he mustered
and when it became known that Gen.
Johnston was going to surrender, and
Gen. Hampton, addressing his com
mand, requested those who were will
ing to go with him to the trans-Mis
sissippi department, “to ride six paces
to the front," none came forward with
more promptness than did he. His
father was very desirous of putting
in a substitute for him and having
him come home, but never for an in
stant would he entertain the propo
sition. ()ften have I heard him say
that it should never be said that he
did his fighting by proxy. He was
high-toned, honorable, and generous,
and I never knew him guilty of one
unkind or dishonorable act. Were I
to be his judge, I would be more len
ient, than he was to himself, I would
change the advice he left to his boys
and say to them, emulate his virtues,
which were many, shun his vices,
which were few.

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent
We are indebted to Messrs. Jeffers
<k Moore, Brokers, for a sample of
oleomargarine or butterine, from a Chi
cago manufactory, which in appear
ance and flavor would pass almost
anywhere for genuine butter. The
manufacturers claim that butterine is
made of pure and healthful articles
and is as good and nutricious as but
ter. It is cheaper and is no doubt an
excellent substitute, but the mere fact
that butter may not he butter creates
a suspicion that taints the pleasure
of eating in these davs of fraud.
Of all the questions out of the
United States, we have ever taken
more interest in the Irish cause
than in any other, purely from a
sense of justice to an oppressed peo
ple without any recompense, but a
consciousness of sustaining the right.
We hate oppression at home and
abroad. We have lived long enough
to see the injustice done the Irish peo
ple from the days of Daniel O’Connell
to the .present time. If we under
stand the wishes of the Parnellites.
they are not seeking a total separa-
from England, but the privilege of lo
cal self-government. They desire that
Ireland shall occupy to England a po
sition similar to that of Georgia, to
the United States. The name of the
party, it seems to us, is rather unfor
tunate. The Parnellites are called
the Nationalists, and many infer from
that they desire that Ireland shall
become a separate and distinct nation
of the earth, vfhen, if we understand
their position they 8eek local self-gov.
ernment. They are entitled to that.
In this country the states have local
self-government and their rule is man
aged by bodies termed legislatures;
such bodies in the old countries are
termed Parliaments, so that when the
Irish claim to have their own Parlia
ment it means the same thing as the
legislature in an American state.
A Handsome Present.—Our es
teemed neighbor Mr. P. M. Compton,
received .by express last week one of
the handsomest gold headed canes we
have ever seen. The cane itself is
composed of some finely polished
black wood and the handle, running
at right angles to it and fitting the
grasp of the hand as completely as
possible, is apparently made of solid
gold, richly fretted and ornamented,
with a smooth place upon w r hich the
letters P. M. C. are beautifully en
graved. The recipient of this splen.
did present does not know who sent
it to him, and we happen to know
that he attends to matters of business
for so many persons at a distance,
which require skillful and expert
handling, without making any
charge for his services, that he may
find it quite difficult to identify the
anonymous giver among the many
who might reasonably rest under the
pleasant suspicion.

Madam, allow me to prescribe for
you. 1 have hud a long experience in
the management of delicate women,
and believe 1 can give you some im
portant advice. For the present I
prescribe only for your feet.
1st. Procure a quantity of woolen
stockings, not such as you buy at
the stores under.the name of lambs,
wool, that you can read a newspaper
through, but the kind that your
Aunt Jerusha in the country knits
for you, that will keep your feet dry-
and warm iu spite of wind and weath
er.
2d. If you want to be really
thorough, change them every morn
ing, hanging the fresh ones by the fire
during the night.
3d. Procure thick calf-skin lvoots,
double uppers and triple soles, and
wear tlic-m from the first of October
till the first of May. Make frequent
applications of some good oil black
ing.
4th. Avoid rubbers altogether, ex
cept a pair of large rubber boots,
which may be worn for a little time
through snow drifts or a flood of
water.
5th. llohl the bottoms of your feet
in cold water a quarter of an inch
deep, just before going to bed, two or
three minutes, and then rub them
hard with rough towels and your na
ked hand.
0th. Now madam, go out freely in
all weathers, and believe me, not only
will your feet enjoy a good circulation
but.* as a consequence of the good i loriuaKwgomnaieimnges,ltise
circulation in the lower extremities,'"** 1 ^ the Republican Senators

A popular clergyman recently rela
ted the following thrilling story:
A gentleman while shaving cut off his
nose. Startled at his mishap ho let his
razor fall, and in falling it cut off one
of his big toes. A doctor was summon
ed. and in replacing the dismembered
parts he made a mistake, putting the
nose on the toe and the toe on the
nose. This transposition is now caus
ing the man much inconvenience.
When be has need to blow his nose he
is obliged to take of his shoe.

Washington, Feb. 1, 1886,
The proceedings of the week
Congress have been partially over
shadowed in interest by the fight
which the Republicans of the Senate
have forced with the Administration
Our lawmakers have not been idle,
however although there has been but
little legislation to speak for their in
dustry. Both ends of the Capitol
gave one dav to obituary eloquence.
It was given by the Senate in memo
ry of Vice President Hendricks, by
the House in memory of the late Rep
resentative Ellwood of Illinois.
Then Dakota has consumed.a large
share of the Senate’s time, and de
bate on this question promises to be
long. Interest in Dakota's affairs
and demands has been enhanced dur
ing the discussion hy the presence on
the floor of the Semite of her two as
pirants for Senatorial honors, Messrs.
Moody nml Edgerton. They are sim
ilar in appearance, both being large,
portly men with short grey beards.
They listen to every word that is said
about their territory, and occasional
ly furnish a speaker with some data
or some explanation that is needed.
The Republicans of the Senate do
not rest easy with a majority of eight.
They are trying to get additional
strength in Dakota, and are planning
to capture Washington and Monta
na Territories in the near future with
Idaho in the distance. They have
not forgotten that but for Colorado
coming in, in 1876, the Hayes fraud
would never have been consummated.
During the week the House of Rep
resentatives has talked a great deal on
unimportant subjects, has quarrelled a
good deal to no purpose, and lias pass
ed fifty little pension bills. I have
alluded before to the many new pen
sion schemes that have been introduc
ed into the present Congress, besides
all of the old ones of the last Congress
that have come up fresh again. Con
gressmen seem to vie with each other
in proposing absurd plans for increas
ing pensions. If they were all carried
into effect they would bankrupt the
Treasury of the United States. And
the worst feature of every new pen
sion proposal is the demagogic spirit
it inevitably awakens in both parties
in Congress. Many of them are not
even seriousv intended, their real ob
ject being to ensnare and capture
what is known as the soldier vote.
The President's refusal of the Sen
ate’s latest demand for papers has
been the topic of discussion here for
the past three days. The papers call
ed for were those bearing upon the of
ficial character of a District Attorney
of Southern Alabama. They were in
the custody of the Law Department,
and referred exclusively to the sus
pension of the late incumbent. The
Senate, in secret session, was notified
by Attorney-General Garland “that it
was not considered promotive of pub
lic interests to comply with its request
for the transmission of the documents
mentioned."
Some of the Republican Senators
who do not believe in trying to extort
reasons from the President, and who
have been forced into this attitude by
their caucus, are disposed to he re
calcitrant. Rumor has it that there
are three who are so muclropposed to
the stand taken hy their brethren
that the majority are extremely anx
ious about them. Mr. Edmunds has
been accused by these disaffect
ed Senators of waging hostilities
against the Administration in the
hope of improving his chances for re-
election to the Seriate. If the Presi
dent had been beaten he would have
obtained the credit of having made a
good party fight.
The Democratic Senators caucussed
again and were all in favor of support-
ting the President, believing him to
be right in maintaining his constitu
tional prerogative. Senators of both
parties seem to think the issue is pret
ty well made up now, and that for
some time, at least, there will lye no
action upon the nomination of per
sons to succeed suspended or remov
ed Republicans. Fromthefactthatthe
President has not hitherto been called
upon for any exposure of his reasons
for making official changes, it is evident
were
only seeking portisan advantage.
Reversing the usual order, the Pres
ident made the people his guests of
honor at the first of his evening re-
iweptions. The levee to the Diplomats,
Congressmen, and the Army and Navy
will xnne later. Qnite as elaborate
prepo at ions were made at the White
House tor receiving the people as
have be m made in the time past for
! the ent« rtainment of officials. The
parlors were banked with palm trees
and flowers, the conservatory was
opened and lighted, and the Marine
band played throughout the evening.
The reception was a crush as usual,
but the President was cordial and
smiling, and the crowd was good na
tural and patient
The popular idea has been that the
world contains seven wonders, but
the eighth made his appearauce at
the Capitol. It was a poor benight-

It was finer than the silk of the floss, my pet,
’Twas a beautiful mist falling down to your

’Twas a thing to be braided and jeweled and
kissed.
'Twas the loveliest hair in the world, my pet.
My arm was the arm of a clown, Jeanette.
It was sinewy, bristled and brown, my pet.
But warmly aud softly it loved to caress
Yoar round white neck and your wealth of tress.
Tour beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had a swimming glory, Jeanette,
Revealing the old, dear story, my pet:
They were gray with chastened tinge of the sky
When tlie trout leaps quickest to suap the fly.
And they matched With your golden hair, my pet.
Your lips—' ut I have no words, Jeanette,
They were fresh a* the twitter of birds, my pet.
When the spring is young, and the roses arc wet
W ith the dew drops in each red bosom set.
Aud they suited yonr gob!-brown hair, my pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair, Jeanette.
Twas a sllkeu aud golden snare, my pet.
But so gentle the bondage, my soul did implore
The right to continue your slave evermore.
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my pet.
Thus ever I dream what you were. Jeanette,
With your lips ami your ejes and yonr hair, my
pet.
In the darkness of desolate years 1 moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.
EYES.
We clip from tlie “Continental”
some extracts about eyes and their
indications of character, which will
be interesting to many of our readers :
EYES.
••The bright black eye, the melting blue,
I cannot choose between the two;
But that is dearest all the while,
Which wears lor us the sweetest smile.”
There is much truth in these last
two lines. The eyes we love best are
the best eyes, the most beautiful to us.
But all eyes are not alike, und all
have not the same meaning. Black
and brown eyes say different things
from the blue or gray eyes. Each
has a story of its own, and a way of
telling it.
There are eyes which glow with pas
sion, eyes that languish with love,
eyes which sparkle with mirth, eyes
that flash with indignation.
Some are calm and serene, others
troubled and restless. Some pene
trate,right through you, some entreat,
some command, and some are mean
ingless, and have a vacant stare till
the mind stirs within, and illuminates
them.
The most beautiful eyes have a long
rather than a wide opening. Eyelids
which are widely expanded so as to
give a round form to the eye, like
those of the cat and owl, indicate abil
ity to see much, with little light, and
receive readily mental impressions
from surrounding objects ; on the con
trary, eyelids which more closely cov
er over the eye, denote less facility of
impression, but a clearer insight, more
definite ideas, and greater steadiness
and permanence of action.
Round-eyed people see much and
live much in the senses, but think less.
Narrow-eyed persons see less, hut
think more, and feel more intensely.
Persons with prominent eyes are al
ways found to have great command
of language, and are eloquent speak
ers and fluent writers. But it may be
observed that as a projecting eye most
readily receives impressions from all
surrounding objects, so it indicates
quick and universal observation, but
a lack of close scrutiny and perception
of individual things.
Arranging all tlie various colored
eyes in two grand classes, light and
dark, we would say that the dark in
dicate power, and tlia light delicacy.
Dark eyes are tropical, and as an
American physiognomist has observ
ed, “They may be sluggish, the forces
they betoken may often he latent,
but they are there, and may be called
into action. Their fires may sleep,
but they are like slumbering volca
noes. Such eyes generally accompa
ny a dark complexion with much
strength of character, a powerful but
not a subtle intellect, or strong pas
sion.”
Light eyes, on the other hand, be
long naturally to temperate regions,
and they are temperate eyes. They
may glow with love and genial
warmth, but they never burn with a
consuming lire like the torrid black
eyes.
The light-eyed races have attained
a higher degree of civilization than
the dark-eyed races.
When the complexion and hair are
dark, and the eyes light, there is gen
erally a combination of strength with
delicacy.
Black eyes are of four kinds. First,
the small, brilliant, hard black eyes,
which look like a beaii, and which
one might crack like a cherry stone ;
secondly, the glowing, cavernous
black eyes, hiding smouldering fires ;
thirdly, the soft, swimming, sleepy
black eye, and fourthly, the large
well-set and finely fdrnied black eye,
solemn as the hush of Midnight, still
as the mountain lake,” yet full of
thought, intellect, passion and feeling,
which can rise in a storm till the quiet
surface glows again; an eye that has
no need of words, that never smiles,
but knows the warmth of tears; an
eye that goes straight to the heart
with a single glance and never more
leaves it, an eye that does net en
trance like the blue, but draws you
steadily and surely on, and touches
chords in your heart which have been
untouched before, and can never
awake for a lesser power again.’’
The first may he the eye of a vain
beauty and belle ; the second may be
found in many an inmate of Bedlam;
the third languishes in the harem of
the Turk, and the fourth is so rare, it
is hardlv ever met with-it is very
beautiful, and also the most danger
ous of all.
Brown eyes are often confounded
with hazel, but though hazel eyes are
brownish, they deserve to form a sep
arate class,—
“Thy brown eyes have 1‘ ok 'ike birds
FUlng straightway to the lighl.”
‘The true brown eyes’’ says an
anonymous writer, “have a softness
and a beauty peculiarly their own.
Some are eager, quick, and merry ;
they offen go with light hair, and
fresh, fair complexions, arid their
laughing brightness, their frank
glances, are as different from the
cooler and calmer look of the hazel,
as light from darkness. Others have
a reddish glow, or rather an auburn
light which gives them a pecuilar
charm, especially if the liair match,
shade for shade ; others of a more de
cided brown go with black hair and a
dark complexion, pale or brilliant as
the case maybe ; and others are large
and soft, with a starry light within.”
The following lines quite express the
ideas of the writer of this article :—
“Bot the glorious eye or hazel tinge
With Its drooping lid of softest fringe,
The flood-gates of the soul unhinge ;
Graceful and tender, loving, kind.
The wide world o'er you will not find
Kyei that so firm tne heart can bind:
Singthen of the lovely hazel eyes.
Born of twilight's deep'ulag dyes.
Of purple that floats o'er summer skies.'
®ther kind. An Italian writer says:
Eyes with the same witchery are
those of Psyche which caught Love in
his own wiles.’’
And Wordsworth describes them—
o «■. . Those eyea.
Soft and capacious as a cloudless sky.
Whose azure depths their color emulates,
Must needs be conversant with upward looks—
Prayer’s voiceless service.” ‘
Blue eyes which borrow their tints
from the summer sky, what eyes they
are! how they dazzle and bewilder
how they melt and soften. The large
light blue eye with golden eyelash
and the faintly traced brow, is the
tvpe of heavenly purity and peace;
the calm, sad blue eye that thrills
through one’s heart with a single
glance, the widely opened one which
flashes upon you with agloroiuslight,
with a smile that makes yoar head
whirl, and with a meaning that you
never forget.
And Green Eyes, what can be said
of them? Some are doubtless like
cats', or boiled gooseberries, and yet
the majority are very handsome.
For myself I have a great predilec
tion for green eyes; they are “the
eyes of all eyes which my heart loves
the best"—those wells of love and
sincerity, “wherelight is ever playing,
where love in depths of shadow holds
its throne.” Therefore I dare not give
my unbiased opinion on these eyes,
the pictures of the soul, but will
merely quote the opinion of others.
Dante in his Purgatorio speaks of
Beatrice's eyes as emeralds; and Long
fellow in his Spanish Student writes,
“AnJ In her tender eyes
Just that soft shade of green we sometimes see
In evening skies."
The Spaniards with good reason
consider the color of the eye as beau
tiful, and often celebrate it in song.
One author says: “Green eyes
look as if floating in a lambent light,
large, dreamy, pensive, and yet really
green." Zuluka’s eyes ought to have
been green. “Oh that eye was in it
self a soul." They are not bewilder
ing like the blue, nor dangerous like
the black, neither affectionate as the
brown, nor passionate as the gray,
but they are tlie eyes of a visionary
poet, whose soul has little to do with
earth, and who loves better the land
of memory aud imagination.
Eyes speak all languages, they
wait for no inttoduction, ask no leave
of rank, they respect neither poverty
nor riches, neither learning nor power,
nor virtue, nor sex, but intrude and
come again, and go through and
through you in a moment.
The eyes of men converse as much
as their tongues, with the advantages
that the dialect of the eye needs no
dictionary, but is understood all the
world over—when the eyes say one
thing, and the tongue another, a prac
tical observer relies on the language
of the first.
Vain and forgotten are all the fine
offers and offices of hospitality if
there be no holiday in the eye.
How many furtive indications are
avowed by the eye, though dissem
bled by the lips.
There are beseeching eyes, assert
ing eyes, provoking eyes, and eyes
full of fate, some of good and some of
bad omen.
Many eyes are beautiful from ex
pression alone. Whatever -of good
ness there is in the heart, its soft halo
appears in the eyes, and if the heart
be selfish, hard, and bad, the eye will
tell its evil tales.
Some eyes vary extraordinarily with
the passing emotions of the hour.—
One has seen the cold, dull eye grow
liquid and bright under the impulse
of some holy and tender sentiment;
or the eye that has looked so meek,
flash like lightning at the oppression of
the weak and helpless. And many an
eye that tells of solitary misanthropy,
how it wakens up with a world of
feeling when loving lips are found to
say, “I entrust these treasures to you,
they are my dearest, my most sacred;
be tender of them, bear them safely to
their journey's end;” and confidence
and love thus manifested, the strong
barrier is broken down, and the hard
eye fills once more with tears.
A physiognomist has given the fol-
fowing opinion on eyes:—
“Black-eyed women are apt to be
passionate and jealous; blue-eyed,
soul-full, trustful, affectionate, and
confiding: gray-eyed, literary, philan-
thropical, resolute, and cold; hazel-ey
ed, hasty in temper and inconstant in
feelings.”
And so to the end of time the con
test will last, and the battle be fought
as sung by many poets.
Marshall ou Napoleon.
He once went to Philadelphia to
deliver a lecture, the subject of which
was the “Life and Character of Napo
leon the Great." There was much
curiosity to hear him, for his fame as
an orator was national, and the lec
ture had remarkable excellencies in a
literary, historical and critical point
of view. The hall was filled with the
beauty, grace and culture of the Qua
ker Ci’tv. When the lecturer appeared
before liis audience he was “pretty far
South,” that is,
“He was na fu\ but just had plenty,”
and he began to repeat his lecture af
ter first interpolating the follow
ing:
“Ladies and gentlemen, 1 hare not
a doubt that Napoleon Bonaparte
was a direct lineal descendant and
heir-at-law of a ‘woods colt’ of Julius
Ctfisar. begotten while that hero was
sowing his crop of wild oats on the
hanks of the Adriatic or in one of the
isles of the Mediterranean.”
The thought was well received and
he delivered his lecture with his ac
customed eloquence. He was a great
lover of Shakespeare, and knew the
best plays from stem to stem. He
possessed a brilliant, luxuriant, gor
geous imagination, which gave a hue
to everything that emanated from
him, while there was a happy origin
ality exemplified in all his utterances.
He illustrated Cable’s sentences:
“You may dwarf a man till he be the
mere stump of what he should
be and he will yet put forth green
leaves.”
MARSHALL IN THE MATT WARD TRIAL.
He defended Matt Ward for the
murder of Prof. Butler in Louisville
about thirty years ago. It was
indeed a celebrated case. Communi
ties all over the State were divided.
His guilt or innocence became a politi
cal issue. The interest was great be
yond the limits of the State. George
D. Prentice, the life-long friend of the
father of the accused, championed
the son of his friend in the columns of
the Louisville Journal and narrowly
escaped mob vengeance. His office
was sacked and gutted. A change of j
venue was had and an array of counsel,
such as has rarely bean equalled, ap
peared for the defense. Beside Mar
shall there were Crittenden, He,
Wood ami others, but it 'was univer
sal lv conceded that Marshall 8
surpassed all the others. Ani eye wit
ness says that one sentence te h.s
speech cleared the aoensed- WUb an
attitude Garrick would have studied
and a tone Talma would have envied,
as the elose of a climax, he exclaimed:
“ Will vou tear him from his girl wife!”

sell your Georgia farm and start to
Montana on this account. While
Clark's phenominal success is herald
ed to the world, there is nothing said
of the failure, misery and death of the
ninety-nine other young men who
went West about the same time.
Don’t get excited and dissatisfied
young men. You are already living
in the best country in the world if you
only knew it.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
SheTtopped in to talk to a young
anotbecary, whom she knew t er>
an d casually asked if he could
conceal a dose of castor oil so that one
could take it without knowing it. He
eaid “of course,” and engaged her ut
affable converse 'till she said: Hen-
fy itte late—don't forget your proni-
I Uj * “Oh, no, Julia,” he laughed,
“but won’t you have a glass of soda
before you got" Julia didn't mind,
and after the last bit of foam had dis
appeared, said: “Well, how about

Tom Ochiltree says: “Of all the
wealthy that I ever knew, John W.
Mackav, the Bonanza king, is the
best diner. Every day while here In
New York he has six plates spread in
a private dining-room in the Hoff
man house, and friends who dropped
in are invited to partake of that
which does their hearts good. I sup
pose Mr. Mackay spends from $60 to
$100 every day for his evening meal
and it is as fine as can be procured.
Next to him comes Robert Garrett.
He knows how to eat, and can order
as fine a meal for as reasonable a pnee
as anv man I ever knew. Levi P.
Morton is also a remarkably good liv
er. He gives the touch of great styie
to his meal, and, in Paris, kept a ta
ble more noted for its delicacies than
any other, perhaps, except Roth-
ohfld’s. Vanderbilt lived like a labor
er, fed on coarse food, and knew noth
Ing about the charms of a dinner-ta
ble.”
