“A great many people in thin and
other countries are opposed to hanging,”
says an eastern exchange. Yes; but most
of them are in jails.
It is a wonder what some men find to
talk about after they have told all they
know.—Exchange. Some men who come
into this office talk about an hour.
A goddess of liberty, with thirty-six
men in her head, must he regarded as a
constitutional flirt. The goddess in Now
York harbor had that number in her
cranium the other day.
Sidall, the soap man, would make a
good paragraphing lie explains his
preference for newspaper advertising
thus: “Anyone who does not read u
newspaper does not order soap.”
At a New Haven voting precinct, on
Tuesday, a hen walked in and laid an
egg on the floor. It is Ruposed that the
egg contained one of the chickens that
politicians count before they are hatched.
Slander, like mud, may dry and fall

ble statue covered with mud may not

of the mud remains.
Opera managers formerly advertised
their goods by telling the salaries paid to
thoir prime donnas. Now when a man
ager tells of the thousands of dollars per
week he gives a pritna donna, people do
not say “What a great singer she must
he;” they say “What a fool the manager
is.”
Ip the presidential election of 1888 he
thrown into the house, a republican will
be named,thanks to Virginia.—[Augusta
Chronicle.] The power behind the
thrown, of that sort, and a front of it,
will elect a democratic president by a big
majority, before it comes to the house,
and Virginia need not be thanked. .
THE MACON TELEGRAPH AW A JUDGE.
Our contemporary, the Macon Tele
graph, has been guilty of publishing in
its editorial columns an article which, it
seems to us, was never finished. The
editorial impresses one with the idea
that the editor was suddenly called away
to a tire or a funeral when the editorial
was about half written, and that the
paper went to press before lie returned.
The Telegraph takes a half dozen pa
pers to task fortheir opinions of the re
cent democratic disasters—notably the
Enuiuukr-Sun, Montgomery Dispatch,
Augusta Chronicle, and the Charleston
News and Courier—and intimates that
all of them are more or less .daft on the
subject. In reading the article it was
natural to suppose that the Telegraph, at
the close of its editorial, would give the
true diagnosis of the case. Hut instead
of this it complacently contents itself I
witli saving:
So it goes. It will be some time before the bub-
bub quiets down. In the meantime the Tele-
giaph stands where it has always stood—for mire
democracy of the most ultra and perniciously
active, office-holding type, and for protection to
Atnericun industries. Heitor stick to the Tele
graph.
“Sticking to the Telegraph” is one
tiling and giving the cause and remedy
for recent democratic reverses is another.
The Telegraph lias been giiiltvof berating
the opinions of others without having
the courage to give its own. This is un
like the Telegraph, and unworthy of its
past record. Wo said it hud not defined
its own position; but perhaps it lias
without intending it. In fact, it has
taken a position in one part of the article
and has virtually contradicted it in
another. In thelirst part oftlie article just
quoted, the editor of the Telegraph says :
“We are pained to note that some of
these gentlemen are disposed to assault
Mr. Cleveland and saddle the responsi
bility for the defeat upon him.” If this
sentence means anything, it means that
the editor of the Telegraph ifisapproves
of saddling the defeat upon Mr. Cleve
land. And yet in the paragraph quoted
first he declares that the Telegraph lias al
ways stood for “pure democracy of the
most ultra and perniciously active,
office holding type.” Such democracy as
tlii3 is at variance witli Mr. Cleveland’s
democracy, and consequently implies a
disapproval of his methods. He lias
never been described as an ultra
democrat since he lias been presi
dent; he has denounced party
(Activity in other democrats as “perui-
cious,” and as for being in favor of an
“office-holding democracy,” he doesn’t
seem to he very particular about any
democrat holding an office except him
self. So the question naturally suggests
itself, Where does the Telegraph stand?
And what does it mean? The spectacle
of the Maeon Telegraph taking u half
dozen of our best southern dailies to
task for being wrong, and after sitting ill
judgment upon them, neglecting to tell
them what is right, reminds one of the
preacher in the mountains of North Car
olina, who read his text, and began iiis
sermon by saying: “Brethren, I beg
leave to differ with I ho hord."
SENSITIVENESS.
The sensitive plant, that shrinks from
the touch, is rightly regarded as occupy
ing a high place in tlie vegetable world.
When its delicate leaves are seen drooping
from contact with the finger, we might
fancy it gifted with a sort of conscious
ness, by which it cannot only feel, and
perhaps suffer, but also visibly attempt
to withdraw from suffering. It is an in
teresting object to notice, whatever may
he our speculations in regard to it, and
we naturally have strong interest in a
plant so curiously endowed.
Some men and women in our most
civilized communities seem to be very
much akin to this little shrub. Their
one distinguishing characteristic is sensi
tiveness. They arc easily hurt, easily
irritated, easily offended. They trans
late ovory touch, however innocent or
oven friendly, into an intent to trouble
or annoy them ; they are constantly fan
cying slights, suspecting insults, imagin
ing ridicule, dreading censure. Of course
they have their fair share of real griev
ances to deplore, and when to these are
added tlie countless imaginary ones
which a morbid fancy suggests, we can
not wonder that they are in continual
distress; and if we cannot accord them
our respect we should not refuse them
our sympathy.
It seems somewhat strange, however,
that any one should plume himself upon
so unfortunate a disposition, yet such is
often the fact. People who thus suffer
attributo.it to no morbid or suspicious
temperament, but to an acute sensitive
ness, of which they are rather proud than
otherwise. They conceive themselves to
he of finer grain than their more cheer
ful and trusting neighbors; they are
quicker to notice, keener to feel, and
therefore exposed to sufferings that a
coarser or duller nature will never be
troubled with. On thiB account they
claim more consideration; they think
people should be specially careful not to
wound or vex them, because they nre so
sensitive. What would be only ordinary
behavior to most persons, they esteem
cruelty to them, beeauee of thoir delicate
organization.
What is still more remarkable about
this class of persons is that their sensi
tiveness exhausts itself upon themselves.
We might suppose that, with feelings so
acute, they would he extremely careful
of the feelings of others, yet such is not
usually the ease. Indeed, some of those
who claim the most on this score give
the least. With all their keen suscepti
bility to suffering, they do not hesitate
to inflict if heedlessly upon those around
them. Thoir imagination, active enough
in their own behalf, fails utterly in be
half of others. Keen mid acute on one
side they are dull and apathetic on the
other. Alive to the least slight or neg
lect shown to them—suffering from the
smallest unkiiulness, wounded by a for
getful or a thoughtless action—they can
yet speak hard and cruel words, show
open s 'orn or scatter scathing rebuke
without apparently any appreciation of
the pain they bestow.
Is sensitiveness tlien so fatal a gift that
we should prefer to he dull of compre
hension? No faculty is ever hi tter for
being dull. But when it is only sharp
ened by selfishness its mission remains
unperformed. It is then only a means
of personal pain, whereas its true pur
pose is a wide and general diffusion of
happiness. This purpose, however, can
not be fulfilled unless we interpret truly
its messages. A healthy sensitiveness
accepts the pain which it must hear as a
wholesome medicine, not dwelling
upon its bitter taste, not upbraiding
those who band it, not regarding it
as a permanent evil, but simply
using it for self-improvement. At the
same time it gladly welcomes all the
pleasant tidings which arc tints brought
to knowledge. It is as keen to feel tlie
good as the evil, and finds it in much
larger proportion. It is a poor,one-sided
sensitiveness that feels only the cold
winds of neglect or criticism or displea
sure, ami is dead to tlie sunny influences
of kindness, esteem, sympathy and love.
If tlie same sensibility that now quivers
under the one be but quickened to re
ceive the other, life will have far happier
days in store than it lias yet disclosed.
Above all, acute sensibilities are in
tended as a direct means of inspiring
generous impulses and cultivating a be
nevolent character. They are no longer
a torment, but a blessing to him who is
always sensitive for others as well as
himself. The pleasure and pain lie feels,
and the sources to which he traces each,
are his continual guides to show him
how to diffuse the one and to mitigate
the other in his intercourse with man
kind. Nothing is more selfish than a
narrow, one-sided, self-pitying sensitive
ness; nothing more ennobling than a
sensitive spirit, keenly alive to all good
influences and delighting to use them for
the welfare and happiness of mankind.
NATURE'S POWER TO HEAL.
For the Enquircr-Hun.
Napoleon said to his physician, Antono-
marchi: “Life is a fortress ot which we
know little. Why throw obstacles in its
way of defense?” He thus sided with what
is called in Vienna the “Expectant school
of treatment.” Wo do know that nature
has nn inherent tendency to heal. The
most accepted watchword at this time is
relievo the pain, guide the patient, lend
cheer, cease the alchemist’s search for
specifics. With proper guidance it is uni
versally agreed thnt typhoid fever, scarlet
fever and pneumonia tend to recover, and
probably about us many recover without
medicine ns do with it, for many are over
physicked, literally dosed to death. Dr.
Flint never gave his pneumonia patients
any medicine except to relieve Dnin
and induce sleep. The era of
ten grains of calomel and
ten of jalap, of teas, decoctions, bleeding
by the quart and medicine by tho cupful,
is happily passed. Wc trust the sunset of
the quinine and calomel evening will soon
be far behind the hills. Quinine is given
and taken for all of the four hundred and
sixty-eight ills. There arc even quinine
takers in every city. It produces an exhil
arating effect somewhat like alcohol. It is
quite common to see on the mantle, ar
rayed for active service, a dozen different
medicines for a person sick of consump
tion. If we observe nature’s laws adults
are almost sure to keep well, and nature
possesses immense resources in children.
It cannot be too pointedly emphasized that
disease often does remarkably well left
to itself; and it is always wise not to clamor
for a change of physic each day. The
body’s recuperative resources are not
equal to every demand, but are very great,
for is it not filled with poisonous sub
stances constantly that it gets rid of with
out aid? Tho stomach digests meats, yet
it never digests itself. The blood remains
alkalinealwuys. Should it become acid in
reaction from outside interference, then
the stomach would digest itself. From the
fact that the blood must keep natural, we
should not tamper with it all too much.
The skin lias functions to perform—it rids
the blood of unwholesome elements. It is
os much a secreting organ as the kidneys,
Populnrly it is too often thought that the
blood is at fault when sores appear upon
the skin. Very frequently it is simply an
irritation of the skin and, maybe, caused
by some drug. Let the healthiest person
in the world take a few doses of bromide
of potash and an eruption is sure to crop
out. It is not due to any impurity of
the blood either, but the skin is simply
irritated by the bromide. And so it is
with belladonna. Belladonna produces in
variably an eruption closely resembling
the rose-colored rash ot scarlet fever, and
for this reason it was formerly blindly
given as a preventive of scar
latina. It does not prevent.
Dry walls, ventilation, and cleanliness do
more townrds prevention. Indigestion
brought about by eating heavy fish, cer
tain vegiteblcs, etc, produce a rash of the
skin. Me H icine in this case iB not necessa
ry. Leave off the offending food and the
rash disappears. Animals do not resort to
medicine for every little ailment; nor do
they over eat or over drink themselves.
Dogs eat the same food identically as man,
but they observe more strictly nature’s
physical laws.

The EARTHQUAKE
Which occurred at Johnson’s (RED STAR) on Monday, and the seismic disturbances
which followed, caused some uneasiness, not to say dismay, among the Leaders and
Regulators of the Universe.
Business is Business,
You know, and if in the hurley-burley we happen to jostle against you, remember you
yourselves were once young and impatient I have orders from New York to close

Here is the result:
$15.00 STJITS REDIJOBD TO $9.00.
$12.00 SUITS REDUCED TO $7.50.
For two days only, after which they will be returned to New York.

Don’t make a mistake by buying before you come and try me. Ladies are caution
ed not to buy any more KID GLOVES until mine arrive. I am having a large lot
made and the flrst shipment was withdrawn from the custom house in New York last
week. They will have my own private brands on them, and until I get them intro
duced I shall sell them at the cost of production. Remember they are no cheap
trash picked up at “job” prices. The Geutlemeu’s will be branded “Georgia Mid
land,” the Ladies’ “L r Alegro Club,” “Columbus Girl” and “Chattahoochee,” and the
prices will be ridiculous.
