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 ofT; hut those who see u beautiful mar ble statue covered with mud may not have the privilegeof seeing itagain when it iB white and clean, and remembrance 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. -OF- DRY GOODS O .A. 2ST Save from Twenty-five to Fifty Per Cent, By buying lit our Closing Out Sale of the Allen Brothers’ Stock.
