'l'ell me how a man gets his money and what he <t<wx with it and 1 will tell you his character and what , will lx- 1.1 de tiny in this world and the next 1 pro,lose to -|n»k today about the 1 ruinous moilcs of getting money. In all our city. statu ami national elec tions large minis of money are used in , bribery. Politic- from is-ing the science ' of good government, has often iiecn lie- : draggled into the synonym for truculency and turpitude. A monster sin, plausible, i potent, J* tiferous, has gone forth to do its dreadful work in all ages. Its two ; hand-ar< rotten with leprosy. It keeps Its right hand hidden in a deep pocket. ■ The left hand Is clinched, and with its ! ichorou* knuckle it taps at the door of the courtroom, the legislative hall, the con- , gross and tin [tarliament The door swings j ojwn and the monsU r enters and glides through the aisle of the council chamber ns softly ns a slippered page, and th< n it ! take- it right hand from its deep pocket I rind offers it in salutation to judge or leg- j islator If that hand Is* taken and the j palm of the intruder cross the palm of the • olli; ini, the leprosy crosses from palm to ; juiliii in a round blotch, round as a gold . eagle, and the virus spreads, and tin- doom ’ is fixed, and the victim jierisheH. Let I briliery, accursed of God ami man, stand i up for trial T he Bible arraigns it again and again. Samuel says of his two sons, who became judges, “They took lirilics and perverted I judgment.” 1 lav i<l says of some of hia pursuers, “Their right hand is full of bribes. ” Amos says of some men in his liny, ‘‘They take a bribe ami turn aside the poor in the gate.” ICliphnz foretells the crushing blows of God's indignation, declaring, “Fire shall consume the taber nacles of bribery. ” The Mighty Fallen. It is no light temptation The mighti est have fallen under it. Lord Bacon, lord chancellor of England, founder of our modi rn science, author of “Novum Organum” and a whole library of books, the leading thinker of his century, so pre cocious that when as a little child he was asked by Queen Elizabeth, “flow old are you?” he responded. “I am two years voungi r than your majesty's happy reign of whose oratory lion .Jonson wrote, “The fear of every man that heard Idm was lest lie should make an end, ” having an in come which you would suppose would have put him beyond the temptation of bribery §36,o(i(i a year and Twickenham court., n gift, and princely estates in Hertford shire—yet under this temptation to I rib cry, falling lint into ruin and on his con fession of taking brihes giving as excuse that all hi predi ev.-sors took them; he was lin' d §2(>O l (Hl<i, or what, corres| nnds with our §■_•<>(»,ooo, and imprisoned in Lon don Tower The black ehr] ter in English, Irish, French amt American politics is the chap ter of briliery Sonm of you remember the I’aejJle Mail sub; idles Most, of you re jui nibct the awful tragedy < f the Credit Mobilter. Ender the temptation to brib ery Benedict, Arnold sold the fort m the highlands for §3l, 1 <>< this >11: Go:g< y betray'd Hungary, Ahdh.ophcl forsook David, and .1 udns ki -ard Uhi’ist. V. hen 1 fi*'o so many <;J’ the Illustrious going down under tin 1 ten.p!-it ion, it makes me think of the r<d dragon spoken of in Revelation with seven 1. .ids ia:il t< 11 herns and seven crowns drawing a third part of the stars of heaven down alter him. The lobbies <1 the legislatures of this country control the country. The land is drunk witli briliery, “Oh,” says some pno, “there’s no med of talking against bribery by promise or by dollars, liecnuse overy man lias his price.'' 1 do not believe it. Even heathenism and t lie dark ages have furnished speeim msof incorruptibil ity. A cadi of Smyrna had a ease brought before him oii trial A man gave him 500 ducats in briliery The case earns on The briber bed many witnesses The poor man on the other side hud mi witnesses. 1 At the dose of the ca. c tin' c’ldi s:>id< | “This poor man has no witnv.-ses, be | thinks. 1 shall produce in his behalf s<’O ! witnesses neatest the other side. ’’ Th* 11 pullingout the ling of ducats Irani under the ottoman he dashed it down at the feet of tiie briber, - lying. "1 give my division against you.” E| iminonda-s, ottered a bribe, said, “1 will do this thing if it be right, and if it bo wrong all your goods cannot persuade me." A j’uor Compliment. The president of the American ;■» ygtwa during the American Revolution, General Reed, was offen d JO,GOO guineas l y for eign commissioner- If lie would betray this country. He tepliod, “Gentlemen, I am a very poor man, hut tell your Ling he is not rich enough to buy me." But why go so far w hen you ami 1, if w» move in honorable society, know men and women who by all the forces of ear'll and hdl could not be bribed. They would no more be brilxd than you would think ol tempt lug an angel of light to exchange heaven for the pit To offer a bribe is villaii.y, but it is a very poor compliment to tiie man to whom it is offered. 1 have not mueb faith in those people who go about Dragging how much they : could get if they would only sell out. | Those women who complain that they are 1 very often insulted need to understand 1 that there is something in their carriage ! to invite insult There are men at Al- | liany and nt Harrisburg at Washing- ' ton who would no more be approached by . a bribe than a pirate boat with a few cut- ; lasse- would dare to attack 1 British man of-war with two banks of guns on each I side loaded to the touchholc. They are • Incorruptible men, and they are the lew men who are to save the city and save the land Meanwhile niy advice is keep out of ■ polities unless youare invulnerable tothia ; style of temptation Indeed if even you i are naturally strong you mxxl religious | buttressing Nothing but the grace of i God can sustain our publie men ami make ; them what we wish 1 wish that there ; might come an old fi*shie.na I revival of | religion, that It might break out iu eon- i gruss and the legl-'atuns and bring many ' of the leading Republicans and Democrats ! down on the anxiou- -er.t of repentance : That day will ei.nie, or something better, for the Bible ihxdares that kings ami ; queens shall liecome nursing fathers and i mothers to tiie church, ami if the greater in authority then certainly the less. A Moral Ilankrupt. My charge also to parents is, reinoinlvsr ! that this evil of bribery often begins ini the home circle and in the nursery. Doi not bribe your ehildn n. Tv.wh them to I do that which is right, and not Is cause of ‘ the 10 cents or the orange which you will give them. There is a great difference iv ■ twtvn rewarding virtue and making the 1 profits thereof the impelling motive. That man who is honest mervly because “hon- ■ esty i- the best policy” is already a moral . bankrupt. My charge Is to you in all departments of life, steer clear of briliery, all of you. Ev- ■ ery man and woman at some time will be tempted to do wrong fur vxmijiensation The bribe may not be <Hi red in money. It may be offered in social jiesition I>et us remember that there is a day coming , when the most secret transaction of pri vate life and of public life will come up for public repreht nsion. We cannot bribe death, we cannot bribe sickness, we cannot bribe the grave, we cannot bribe the judgments of that God who thunders against this sin. “Fiel” I said Cardinal Beaufort, “fie! Can’t death be brliied? Is money nothing? Must I die, so rich? If the owning of the whole realm would save me, I could get it by jxilicy or by purehaw—by money.” No. death would not be bribed then. He will nr tbe hrihtxi now Men of the world often regret that they have to leave their money here when they go away from the world. You enn t.-11 from what they say in their last hours that one of their chief sorrow - Is that they have to have their nr I bn-ak that d.-lusion. I tell that brilw taker that he will take his money with him. God will wrap it up in your shroud, or put It in the palm of your hand in n-*un<. ;ion. and there it will lie, not the cool, bright, shining gold as it was on the <lay when you -old your vote ami your moral prim ij>le, but there it will lie, a hot metal, t timing ami consuming your hamt f : •. r Or. .1 tl.erc lx-enough of it for a • ‘. .1; 'hen it will fail over thewrlst, clanking the L iter.- of an eternal captiv ity TI. bribe is an everlasting [x>sses sion You take it for time, you take it for eternity Some day in the next world, w hen you an longing for sympathy, you w ill feel on your cla ck a kiss Looking up, you will find it to lx* Judas, who took HO pieces of silver a- a l.rilx: ami finished the bargain by purring an infamous kiss on the pure check of his Divine Master. Abuse of Trust Fun<ix. Another wrong use of money is seen in the abuse nt trust funds. Nearly every man during the course of his life, on a larger or smaller scale, has the property of others committed to his keeping. lie Is so far a safety deposit, he Is an adminis trator and holds in his hand the interest of the family of a deceased friend, or he Is an attorney, ami through his custody g<x>s the jiaymcnt from debtor to creditor,' or he is the collector for a business house, which comp'tisates him for the resjxjnsi blllty, or he is treasurer for a charitable institution, and he holds alms contributed for the suffering, or he Is an official of the city or the state or the nation, and taxes and subsidies and salaries and supplies are In his keeping. It is as solemn a trust as God can make it. It is concentered and multiplied con fidences. On that man depends the sup port of a IxTeft. household, or the morals of dcj-endentH, or the right movement of a thousand wheels of social mechanism. A man may do what he will with his own, but he who abuses trust funds in that one act commits theft, falsehood, perjury and becomes in all the intensity of the word a miscreant. How many widows and or phans there are with nothing ixitween them and starvation but a sewing machine or held up out of the vortex of destruction simply by the thread of a needle, red with their own heart’s blood, who a little while ago had by father and husband left them a competency! What is the matter? The administrators ortho executors have sacri ficed it—running risks with it that- they would not have dared to encounter in their own private affairs. How often it is that a man will earn a livelihood by the sweat of his brow and then die, and within a few months all the estate goes into the stock gambling rapids of Wall street! How often it Is that you have known the man to whom trust funds were (x)inniitted taking them out of the savings bank and from trust companies and administrators, turning old home steads into hard cash, and then putting the entire estate into the vortex of specula tion. Embezzlement is an easy word to pronounce, but it has 10,000 ramifications. There is not a city that has not suffered from tiie abuse of trust funds. Where Is the courthouse or the city hall or the jail cr the postoilice or the hospital that in the building of it has not had a political job? Long before the new courthouse in New York city was completed it cost over $12,- 000,000 Five million six hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars for furniture! For plastering and repairs, $2,370,000; for plumbing and gas works, $1,231,517; for awnings, $23.5.>3, the bills for three months coming to the nice little sum of $13,151,108.311. There was notan honest brick 01 stone or lath or nail or loot ol plumbing or inch of plastering or inkstand or doorknob in the whole establishment An Fverlastiiig Crop. That bad example was followed in many of lhe cities, which did m t steal quite so much because there was not so much to steal There ought to lie a closer inspec tion, and thi ie o'i.i'ht. to be less opportu nity for embezzlement. Lest a man shall take a 5 cent piece that does not belong to him, the conductor on the city horse car must s 'rind his bell at every payment, and we are very cautious about small offenses, but give plenty of opportunities for sin ners on a large scale to escape—for a boy who steals a loaf of bread from a corner grocer to keep his mother from starving to death, a prison, but for defrauders who abscond with §500,000, a castle on the Rhine, or. waiting until the offense is for gotten, a castle on the Hudson! .Another remark needs to be made, and that is that people ought not to go into places, into business or into positions where tiie temptation is mightier than .•fieir character. If there be large sums of money to be handled, and the man is not sure of his own integrity, you have no right to run an unseaworthy craft in a hurricane. A man can tell by the sense of Weakness or strength in the presence of a bad opportunity whether he is in a safe place. How many parents n ake an awful mistake when they put. tlieir boys in bank ing houses and stores and shops arid fac tories and places of solemn trust without once discussing whether they can enduro the temptation! Aon give the boy plenty of money and have no account of it and make the way down become very easy and you may put upon him a pressure that he cannot stand. There are men wlw go into positions full of temptation, con sidering only that they are lucrative posi tions. An abbot wanted to buy a piece of grqund, and the owner would not sell it, but the owner finally consented to let it to him until lie could raise one crop, and the a* hot sowed acorns—a crop of 200 years! And I till you, young man, that the dis honesties whieii you plant in your heart and life will st em to lx-very insignificant, but they will grow up until they will overshadow you with horrible darkness, overshadow all time and all eternity. It will not be a crop for 200 years, but a crop for everlasting ages. I address many who have trust funds. It is a compliment to you that you have been so intrusted, but I charge you in the presence of God and the world be careful —lie as careful of the property of others as ' you are careful of your own. Above all. ) keep your own private acctmnt at the i bank separate from your account as trustee of an estate or tiustee of an institute. That is the point at which thousands of people make shipwreck. They get the property of ethers mixed up with their own property, they put it into investment, and away it *ill goes, and they cannot re- I turn that which they liorrowed. Then comes the explosion, and the money mar ; ket is shaken, and the press denounces, and th? church thumb is expulsion. Make Open Confession. You have no right to use the property of others except for their advantage, nor without consent, unless they are minors. If with their <‘onsent you invest their prop erty as well as you can. and it is all lost, you arc not to blame You did the best you could, but do not come into the delusion, which has ruined so many men, of think ing because a thing is in their possession, therefore it is theirs. You have a solemn trust that God has given you In any community there may be some who have nds;ippre>priatcd trust funds. Put them back or. if you have so hopeless ly involved them that you cannot put them back, confess the whole thing to those whom you have wronged, and you will sleep better nights, and you will have the better chance for your soul. What a sad thing it would he if alter you are dead your administrator should find out from the account books, or from the lack of vouchers, that you were not only bank rupt tn estate, but that you lost youn-soul! A blustering young man arrived at a hotel in the west, and he saw a man on the sidewalk whom he supposed to lx- a laborer, and in a rough way. as no man has a right to address a laborer, said to him, ' “Carry this trunk upstairs.” The man carried the trunk up stairs and came down, and then the young man gave him a quarter of a dollar which w.is clipped, and instead of being 25 cents it was worth only 20 cents. Then the young man gave his card to the laborer and said: “You take this up to Governor Grimes. I want to sec him.” “Ah,” said the laborer, “I am Governor Grimes.” “Oh,” said the young man, “you—l—excuse m§." Then_the r governor said: “I was much impressed by the letter you wrote me asking for a cer tain office in my gift, and I had made up ‘ my mind you should have it, but a young r man who will cheat a laborer out of e ' cents would swindle the government of the state if be got his hands on it. 1 don't ' want you. Good morning, sir.” r I do not suppose there was ever a better t specimen of honesty than was found in the Duke of Wellington. He marched with ’ his army ever the French frontier, and I the army was suffering, and he scarcely 1 knew how to get along. Plenty of plun -1 d. r all alxitt. but he commanded none of r tin' plunder to lx- taken. He writes home 1 these remarkable words, “We are over whelmed with debts, and I can scarcely I stir out of riy house on account of public creditors, waiting to demand what Is due to them. ’ Yet at the very time-the French Ixsasuntry were bringing their valuables te him to ki-ep. A celebrati d writer says of the transaction: “Nothing can be grander 1 or more nobly original than this admis : sion. This old soldier, after 3o years’ serv ‘ ice, this iron man ami victorious general, established in an enemy's country at the head of an immense army, is afraid of his I creditors! This is a kind of fear that has Sehlem troubled conquerors and Invaders, and I doubt if tins annuls of war present 1 anything comparable to its sublime sim plicity. ” Return to God. Oh, is it not. high time that we preach the morals of the gospel right beside the i faith of the gospel? Mr. Froude, the cele brated English historian, has written of Disown country these remarkable words: “From the great house in the city of Lon don to the village grocer the commercial life of England has been saturated with fraud. So deep has it gone that a strictly honest tradesman can hardly hold his ground against competition. You can no longer trust that any article you buy is the thing which it pretends to be. We have false weights, false measures, cheat ing and shoddy everywhere. And yet the clergy have seen all this grow up in abso lute indifference Many hundreds of ser mons have I heard in England on the di vine mission of the clergy, on bishops and on justification, and the theory of good works, and verbal inspiration, and the efficacy of the sacraments, but during all these 3o wonderful years never one that I can recollect on common honesty.” Now, that may bean exaggerated state ment, of things in England, but 1 am very certain th. t in all parts of the earth we need to preach the moralities of the gospel right along beside the faith of the gospel. My hearer, what are you doing with that fraudulent document in your pocket? My other hearer, how are you getting along with that wicked scheme you have now on foot? Is that a “pool ticket” you have in your pocket? Why, O young man,, were you last night practicing in copying your employer’s signature? Where were you last night? Are your habits as good as when you left your father’s house? You had a Christian ancestry perhaps, and you have had too many prayers spent on you to go overboard. Dr. Livingstone, the famous explorer, was descended from the highlanders, and ho said that one of his ancestors, one of the highlanders, one day called his family around him. The high lander was dying. He had his children around his deathbed. He said: “Now, my Luis, 1 have looked all through our history as far back as 1 can find it, and I have never found a dishonest man in all the line, and I want you to understand you inherit good blood. You have no excuse for doing wrong. My lads, be honest.” Ah, my friends, be honest before God, be holiest before your fellow men, be hon est before your soul. If there be those who have wandered away, come back, come home, come now, one and all, come into the kingdom of God. Warning Signal. I am glad some one has set to music that scene in August, 1881, when a young girl saved from death a whole rail train if passengers. Some of you remembei that out west in that year on a stormy night a huirictne blew down part of £ railroad bridge A freight train came along, and it crashed into the ruin, and the engineer and conductor perished. There was a girl living in her father’s cabin, near the disaster, and she heard the crash of the freight train, and she knew that in a few moments an express was due. She lighted a lantern and clambered up on the one beam of rhe wrecked bridge on to the main bridge, which was trestle work, and started to cross amid the thunder and the lightning of the tempest and the raging of the torrent beneath'. One mis step and it would have been death. Amid all that horror the lantern went out. Crawling sometimes, and sometimes walk ing over the slippery rails and over the trestlework, she came to the other side of the river. She wanted to get to the tele graph station where the express train did not stop, so that the danger might be tele graphed to the station where the train did stop. Tl o t rain was due in a few minutes. She was one mile off from the telegraph station, but fortunately the train was late. With cut ami bruised feet she flew like the wind. Coming up to the telegraph sta tion, panting with almost deadly exhaus ; tioii, she had only strength to shout, “The bridge is down!” when she dropped un -1 onscious and could harldy be resuscitat ed 3he message was sent from that sta tion to the next station, and the train halted, and that night that brave girl saved the lives of hundreds of passengers and saved many homes from desolation. But every street is a track, and every style of business is a track, and every day is a track, and every night is a track, and multitudes under the power of temptation come sweeping on and sweeping down to ward perils raging and terrific. God help us to go out and stop the train! Let us throw some signal. Let us give some warning. By the throne of God let us flash some influence to stop the downward progress. Bewares! Beware! The bridge is down, the chasm is deep, and the light nings of God set all the night of sin on fire with this warning: “He that, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck shall sud denly be destroyed, and that without rem edy.” A TEXAS WONDER.

TAX RETURNS SHOW DECREASE Change in the Value of Real Estate is Responsible for Falling Off. RETURNS SLOW COMING IN. Tax Receiver Says that It Was More Difficult this Year Than Ever Before to Get Them Correct. Tax Receiver Anderson completed his re turns for this year late on Saturday even ing. He finds that Bibb county shows a decreas of $329,714. It was to oe ex pected that the county returns would show a decrease, and as the county real estate I has certainly fallen in value the reduction j in the total returns for the county are : looked upon as surprisingly small. As i was expected, the main difference is shown in the real estate. The city and the coun ty both contribute their share. The tax receiver says that this has been an unu sually hard year in the way of securing the returns. This statement is borne out by a comparison of the figures as between this year and Ixst. The returns of per sonal property are lamentably short. It is further shown by the returns that the peo ple of greater wealth in the communtiy have failed to make as fair returns as those who have smaller possessions. This same complaint was made by the city tax assessors.

One thousand and six men have been mustered into the service at Camp Northen and recruits are coming in rapidly. Three companies have been mustered in and the officers have received their commissions. Captain Bob Hodges was in camp yester day looking after his company. He has forty-four men and ten of his men are out recruiting. Recruits for his company come in every day. Major Spence was in charge of the regi ment yesterday, as Colonel Candler and Lieutenant Colonel Berner were absent from camp. The dress parade yesterday afternoon was very pretty. The band of twenty-five pieces, which is from Griffin, has enlisted In the regiment and they give two concerts daily. The new flag came in a few days ago. It is raised every day at reville and lower ed at retreat. Guns and other accoutrements have been sent out to every company having over fifty men and the non-commissioned of ficers are putting the men through tfce manual of arms. There is one thing about the Gamp which could easily be remedied and that is in the way passes are issued to the men. In stead of giving each man a separate pass the names of all those from each company who wish to go out are placed on one pass and it must be registered at the guard house. 'Each man must check off his name and it causes the greatest confusion. The men are sometimes kept on the guard line until 11 o’clock at night waiting to get into camp. The colonel gave orders to the captains not to give too many passes as the men tore up several fences and took up a front porch with which to build tent floors a few nights ago. No one is sick in the Griffin hospital and the sanitary condition of the camp 's ex cellent. Only 360 more men are needed to com plete the regiment and the officers say that these men will be secured in a few days. The soldiers at Camp Northen are under splendid discipline and very few men are confined in the guard house. Each com pany has enlisted a company cook and the men are relieved from the laborious job of cleaning pots. The guard lines have been strengthened in the last few days, as many of the men have been slipping the lines. The regiment so far is in fine shape and as soon as the full quota is secured it will be in as good condition as either of the other Georgia regiments.

A Cuban shower in all its might is a thing that one who is not used to will never forget, says a correspondent in the Cincinnati Post. The downpour of rain is something that no one can appreciate un less he is there to be in it. The rain falls in spots, and when it does come down it does not come in drops, but in solid sheets that are driven through the clothing and into the skin. A person may cross a ridge of the high mountains that lead to San tiago and run into two or three of these rains. A bright sunshine will suddenly give way to a dark cloud, a clap of thunder will follow and without any further ceremony the rain will begin to come down, It does not waste any time in preliminaries, but begins with an advance sheet that becomes heavier until it is a driving wall of water that will last for from one-half to a whole hour. This kind of rain plays havoc with the soldiers, and wets them in their tents and makes their beds wet and soggv. On the afternoon before the big battle of Fri day, July 1, the rain fell with such force that Captain Parker, of the machine-gun battery, ordered his men to strip their clothing and roll It in their rubber blank ets. They then stood in the pelting rain and had a natural showc-re bath, the only discomfort being the extreme force of the water as it struck their naked backs. These rains impeded the progress of the army, and caused many exasperating de lays. Not a day passed during the whole Santiago campaign but what some luck less camp was flooded out. CASTOFLIA.
