Somebody’s Mother.
;The woman was old, and ragged, and erar
And bent with the chill of the winter’s day;
.The street was wet with a recent snow,
And the woman’s feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited lone,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by.
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of “school let out,”
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
Hastened the children on their way,
Nor ottered a helping band to her,
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses' feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street;
At last came one of the merry troop—
The gayest laddie of all the group :
He paused beside her, and whispered low,
“I’ll help 3'ou across if you wish to go.”
ller aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm.
He guided the trembling feet along.
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
She’s somebody’s mother, boys, you know',
For all she's aged, and poor, and slow;
.And I hope some fellow’ will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she’s poor and old, and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away.
And “somebody’s mother” bow’ed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
AN as, “God be kind to the noble boy,
AA'ho is somebody's son, and pride, and joy !”

The Death Struggle of the Republican Party.
In the American Review for March-April is
one of the most remarkable papers ever pub
lished in that periodical. It is remarkable
in itself, says the Detroit Free Press , for its
vigor, force and bitterness, and it is doubly
remarkable, appearing, as it does, in a review
which has, until a very recent period, held
religiously aloof from discussion calculated
to excite partisan emotions, or violent emo
tions of any sort. It is entitled “The Death
Struggle of the Republican Party,” and the
author is George W. Julian, who is as well
qualified as an}' man living to speak of that
party. He was one of the founders of the
organization and an earnest and ardent be
liever in the greatness of its mission while
there was a pretense left that it had one. As
to the history of the party, therefore, while lie
remained with it, he speaks “ by the card.*’
The picture which Mr. Julian presents of
the Republican party is that of a tree sprung
from a seed too small to excite attention,
fighting its way upward to the sunlight, and
finding itself, as soon as it reaches the open
air and overtops all rivals, attacked by para
sites, which gradually sap its vitality and
destroy its substance. Sketching the causes
which led to its organization, he sa}’s:
“The movement, when launched, was not
a party at all. It was merely a political com
bination. Its action was not inspired by a
creed but an object. Aside from this objec
tion the members of the combination were
hopelessly divided. They were tariff men
and free traders, Conservative Whig and Rad
ical Democrats, Know-Nothings and Anti-
Federalists. On one point only they were
agreed, and that was that the virgin soil of
our territories should be unpolluted by
slavery, and that this crime against humanity
and plague of our politics should be dena
tionalized. If any man bad then uttered the
prediction that the combination insist
upon holding the field as a permanent party,
after the settlement of the transient question
which called it into existence, he would prob
ably have been laughed at.”
Mr. Julian shows, however, that the leaders
of the party could not, or would not, accept
the situation, and gives a faithful account of
the devices they adopted and the struggles
they engaged in after the war was over and
slavery dead, for the purpose of nursing and
coddling the old animosities, as the appointed
means of party unity. This involves an ex.
haustive examination of Grant’s two admin
istrations and a tracing, step by step, of the
demoralization and degradation of the party
as principles became secondary considera
tions and discipline the first object. The pic
ture of Grantism, in its various manifesta
tions, is vividly sketched ; but it will not be
found overdrawn in a single particular. As
a condensed indictment of Republicanism,
this portion of the paper could scarcely be
improved ; though it could be lengthened al
most indefinitely.
Having thus shown conclusively why the
Republican party ought not any longer to
exist, Mr. Julian proceeds to produce the
proofs that it is in its death struggle. To
the closing no summary will do justice, and
we give it, therefore, in the writer's own
words:
“ Such are the lengths to which the Repub
lican party has been driven by its long in
dulged greed of power and the spoils, and the
devilish infatuation that its good behavior
during the war could justify its oareer of law
lessness and crime. But ite final card has
been played. The cup of its transgression is
JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., SATURDAY. JULY 20, 1878.
full and its hoarded iniquities have at last
brought it to judgment. The President of the
United States is the incumbent of an office
to which he was never elected, and was finally
counted in upon the pledge of his most inti
mate and trusted friends that he would turn
his back upon the very issue on which he had
been supported in the canvass. While vainly
striving to wipe out “the damned spot’ in
the record of his title, the villains of the
Louisiana returning board, by whose crimes
he mounted into power, are in the clutches of
the 1 tm, and the Republican statesmen who
abetted the foul plot by their presence and
moral support are evidently troubled by a
’* fearful looking for the judgmeut to come.’*
He has mortally offended the great leaders
who directed and inspired his canvass, whom
he is now striving to hold at bay, and has
shamefully mocked the demand of the better
element of his party for the reform of admin
istrative abuses. In view of the well drilled
cohorts of corruption which confront him. the
thorough reform of our civil service would be
an exceedingly different problem if he were
a man of firm will, perfect courage and abso
lute devotion to his task. Even then it might
not be possible, without a popular uprising
akin to that, which drove the Tammany thieves
from their stronghold. It certainly cannot
be hoped for through a weak, irresolute Ex
ecutive, holding his office b\ f fraud, anxious
to conciliate the men who deserve no quarter
and afraid to look the situation bravely in
the face. This has been demonstrated already
by facts which deserve a passing notice. Mr.
P illcy, a politician and intriguer of very bad
repute, is re-appointed Postmaster at Saint
Louis. Mr. Stoughton lias been appointed
Minister to Russia as a reward undoubtedly
for bis service in carrying Louisiana for the
President in spite of “clerical errors.”
“The two chief criminals of the Louisiana
returning board have at all tiyaes free access
to the White House as trusted friends, and
are yet holding their important positions in
the New Orleans custom house, while im
prisoned as criminals, just as if Grant were
still President. Babcock continues to bask
in the sunshine of Executive approval. The
removal of Mr. Arthur from the custom house
in New York, after gross and inexcusable de
lay, was accompanied by the offer to him of
the Paris Consulate, being an evident ma
noeuvre of the President to keep on botli sides
of the civil service question. Mr. Simmons
still holds his position in Boston, while Mr.
Cornell is allowed to retain his Survej'orship
in New York, after his open defiance of the
President’s order. The former tools of the
Union Pacific Railroad have been re-appoint
ed government directors of that company.
The President treats the office of Consul Gen
eral at Frankfort-on-the-Main as a personal
perquisite, by bestowing it on his private Sec
retary. The offer of the English mission to
the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress was
a palpable disregard of civil service reform,
as the President himself has defined it, and
•o was the offer of the German mission to the
delegation from Illinois, and the nomination
at Mr. Sanford as Minister to Belgium. He
allows his First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral to send out blanks through the mails to
members of Congress, to be filled out by them
with the names of such persons as they mav
see fit to recommend for office. Many of his
appointments, like those of his predecessor,
are bestowed as rewards for political service,
while the public is left to believe that lie is
still dispensing his patronage for the purpose
of breaking up the Democratic party. Some
of the newspapers which have been foremost
in his defense now declare that in the matter
of reform he has been as unstable as water,
and that, like the fabled frog in the well, he
jumps three feet forward and falls back four.
A man of his mingled obstinacy and irresolu
tion, and so liberally dowered with feebleness,
may aggravate existing political trouble, but
cannot remove them. Should he surrender
himself entirely to the old managers he will
be more irretrievably disgraced than he is
already. Should he continue his game of fast
and loose, he will fare no better. Should he
now abandon his temporizing policy and in
augurate the fight against roguery, which has
been so criminally delaj-cd, he will fail
through the lack of that earnest, well drilled
and united opinion in his own party, which
any President must have in a trying situation,
and which results from the belief in his treach
ery on the Southern question. In any event
the party itself is doomed. Its race is run,
and our task fitly ends with its death strug
gle. The men who have led it into dishonor
and shame will take their place along with
the recreant leaders of the past, whose polit
ical graves are eloquent with warnings against
their example; while the honest, but mis
guided, men in its ranks, profiting by their
mistakes, will find other tasks awaiting them
in the political reconstruction which draws
nigh.” —Griffin News.

A Thrilling Tale of the Tombigbee.
The town of situated some thirty
miles from the mouth of the Tombigbee river,
is at present greatly excited over the depart
ure of the local colored minister, who recently
started down the river on a large and strong
ly-built sister. The circumstances attend
ing the minister’s departure were peculiar,
and their publication may, perhaps, aid in the
recovery of the intrepid, though unintention
al, voyager.
The minister in question was of the colored
Baptist persuasion, and was famed through
out the Tombigbee Valley for his skill as a
baptizer, as well as for his ability as a preach
er. There is no doubt that he wa;. a fearless
ami conscientious roan. Instead of main
taining that politic silence on the subject of
chickens, which many colored ministers in
sist is absolutely necessary in order to avoid
chilling the fever of their hearers, this par
ticular minister never hesitated to declare
that a right of property in chickens existed,
and that it should he respected in certain
cases, and to a greater or less extent, by all
honest men. especially during the season when
hams are readily accessible. This bold doc
trine. instead of injuring his popularity, actu
ally increased the respect in which he was
held by his congregation, and gave him muHi
prominence among his ministerial breth
ren.
Among the colored ladies of Clayville was
one who had long desired to submit to the
rite of lieptism, hut who was deterred by a
nervous dread of drowning and by a strong
repugnance to the inevitable wetting which is
inseparable from the rite. Scores of times
this estimable lady has determined to he bap
tized at, the next available opportunity, hut
at the last moment her courage always failed
her. In the days prior to emancipation, she
had been the slave of a Clnyville planter, and
she still retaine 1 a warm affection for her
young master whom she had nursed in his
infancy. Not very long ago this young man
called to see her, an 1 to him she lamented
the lack of courage which shut her out from
baptism. AVliether he was influenced by gen
uine kindness, or by a wicked spirit of irrev
erence, will perhaps never he known ; but the
advice which he gave his confiding nurse was
the cause of the painful tragedy which fol
lowed.
The young man professed to he surprised
that the new safety baptismal robe invented,
as he alleged, by Rev. Dr. Paul Boy ton, of
New Y'ork. had not yet been adopted by the
colored Baptists of the South. He said that
he had one of these robes in his possession,
and the wearer would not only be safe against
any possibility of drowning, but also against
the possibility of getting wet. Moreover, it
could be worn underneath the usual while
cotton robe, without any danger of detection.
The overjoyed candidate for baptism enthusi
astically accepted the young man’s advice
and his offer of the robe, and she immediately
sent word to the minister that she would cer
tainly be ready for baptism on the next Sun
day.
There was such a general distrust of the
sister's courage that the colored people all
assembled on the bank of the Tombigbee on
the next Sunday, confident that her courage
would fail, and that she would endeavor to
escape from the hands of the minister. The
particular part of the river selected for the
ceremony was comparatively shallow, but the
current was swift, and little lower down the
depth was at least ten feet. In fact, the min
ister, in spite of his skill, had once lost a con
vert, who was carried away by the current,
and who. on being rescued, promptly went
over to the Methodist. The timid candidate
was an unusually large woman, and was cer
tain to tax the minister’s strength severely,
so that there could be no little doubt that
the ceremony would he one of unusual in
terest.
The sister arrived at the appointed time,
looking even larger than usual, and walking
with much difficulty. The minister took her
by the hand, and she fearlessly descended
into the water. All went well until she
reached a depth of alx>ut four feet, when she
suddenlj’ fell upon her back, and to the as
tonishment of the spectators, floated on the
surface of the water. The excitement at this
unprecedented event was tremendous, and the
air was filled with enthusiastic shouts. The
ministers face, however, wore a troubled ex
pression. He towed the unaccountably bony
ant sister out into deeper water, and attempt
ed to place her on her feet. The attempt
proved impracticable, and then he tried to
immerse her without changing her position.
In spite of all his efforts he could not force
her under, and the spectators who witnessed
the struggle soon became convinced that she
was bewitched. They counseled the minister
to exercise the evil one by whom she was
evidently possessed with an axe, and volun
teered to supply him with heavy weights
wherewith to securely sink her. That devo
ted man, however, refused their counsel, and
persisted in his efforts to immerse the sister
without the aid of weights. Finally he threw
his whole weight upon her r and 1 in moment
tlie current swept the pair beyond their
depth.
In spite of the danger of hie situation tbe
minister’s cheek did not blanch. With great
presence of mind he seated himself comforts
blj* upon the floating sister, anti, waving a
farewell to his congregation, began to sing a
cheerful hymn. The current steadily car
ried him on at a rate of at least six miles an
hour, and in a short lime his weeping congre
gation was left out of sight and hearing.—
Without oars or sails he was unable to navi
gate the sister to the shore. and there is ev
ery reason to suppose that before the next
morning he was far out on the Gulf of Mex
ico.
Captains of vessels navigating the Gulf
have been requested to keep a sharp lookout
for a colored sister in a Boyton life saving
dress, carrying a colored minister on her
deck. Let us hope that he will soon be pick
ed up. He Ims now been aflont five days
without provisions or water, and must be
beginning to (eel the need of refreshments.
Of course, any Captain who may rescue him
will not ask for a reward, but if ho tows the
sister into port he can claim salvage to a large
amount, and libel her in the nearest Admi
ralty Court. —Neio York Times.
A Jewel of a Wife.
She was one of those women 3-011 couldn’t
quarrel with. She was so agreeable that
her old man got tired of it, and tried to have
a row for a change, lie began to chuck the
tilings about at dinner time, and smashing
the plates. But she onty smiled like an
angel, and said, ‘Law ducky, how lucky I
didn’t put the best service on to-day.’ And
the next day she did put the best service on,
and he remembered it cost him eighteen
guineas and he didn't care to spoil the set.
Then he took to stopping out late and com
ing home drunk, but when lie staggered up
stairs she always welcomed him with a smile
and caught him in her arms and said, -I
wonder, John, dear, wlmtever’s been spilt on
3’ourcoat; it smells like spirits.’ Now, this
was enough to make any man wild. So one
evening he said to her quietly, ‘lsh me, my
luvsh I’m toshieated !’ ‘Arc you, John,’ she
answered, ‘why 3-011 old dear, I shouldn't
have believed it.’ Ami then she gave him a
sweet smile that made him that mad he didn't
know what to do. But he wasn't going to be
outdone, he determined he would have a row
some how or other, so one night when she
wouldn't believe lie was drunk but kept on
kissing him and calling him an old dear, lie
just let out some strong language and hit her
on the head with the fire-irons. She smiled
but slie didn't sa}' an3'thing in particular.
She took him by the hand in an affectionate
manner and led him down stairs into the
street, and kissed him and handed him over
to a policeman. And she went down to the
court the next morning and got him six
months in such a pretty agreeable way, the
reporters fell quite in love with her. And
when he was going away she leant over the
dock and said, ‘take care of yourself, ducky ;
I’ll have a nice dinner ready for you the da}-
you come out.’ And the last thing he saw as
lie went down the steps was his amiable wife
kissing her hand to him and smiling awa}- as
swectl}- as ever.— St. Louis Post.
“Only a Printer.”
In her lecture here, recentl}’, Mrs. Beavers
took occasion to remark that among her
acquaintances was a man who is a printer.
He has traveled tlrough different countries,
and been a public speaker, and people (includ

printer! Only a printer! Perhaps Mrs.
Beavers thinks that the printing business is
below her standard of intellectual greatness.
Yes, he was “only a printer.” Who was the

Too Many Parents.
There is a young lady in St. Louis who
says she lias more parents and step-parents
living than any one she ever heard : •• You
know papa and mamma never could agree,
and so finally they got divorced. I don't say
whose fault it was, but mamma really did be
have ugly sometimes, and even I could not
get along with her. So. when the separation
came, I went to live with papa. Shortly af
terward mamma married again, and papa was
not long in following suit. I did not like it
very well at first, but my step-mother turned
out to be first-rate, and I got to like her splen
did. Then papa seemed to get infatuated
with another woman that he got acquainted
with, and she wheeled around him until she
made trouble, and the result was another di
vorce, and papa soon married the woman that
made the trouble. When the second separa
tion took place I went with my step-mother
because I loved her and because my services
were necessary to help take care of the baby.
