IRE WORLD
FOR 1879.
SPECIAL OFFER
THE NEW YORK
Weekly World,
AN EIGHT-PAGE NEWSPAPER,
Will bo sent (postage prepaid)
From now until Jan. 1,1879,
FOR
IO CENTS.
This Special Offer i s made to enable the
Southern people to see for themselves how good a
paper THE WORLD is, and how worthy it is of
their support.
On tlio Ist of May, 1876, the ownership and
control of THE WORLD passed into the hands of
the undersigned, under whose absolute and un
trammelled direction THE WORLD has ever si rice
remained and now remains.
During the whole of this time TIIE WORLD lias
labored patiently and perseveringly for the ac
complishment of two groat objects in politics of
paramount interest to the Southern people.
I. The restoration of local self-government at
the South.
11. A real reform of the Civil Service, in such
wise as to destroy the political machines under
the operation of which it has come to pass that
the people are taxed to support political parties,
whereas political parties have no other reason of
being except to lessen the burdens of govern
ment.
The first of those objects has been triumphantly
accomplished. All intelligent Northern men now
admit that all parts of the country were as deeply
interested as tne South in seeing it won. A cor
rupt and anti-Democratic government in the
South was a permanent peril to the ascendancy of
true American principles iu the Federal Govern
ment, end therefore to the peace and honor of the
whole people.
The second political object for which THE
WORLD contends still Remains to bo fully
achieved. The actual Administration began its
career with excellent promises in this direction,
of which it is sufficient to say that they have been
as yet only in part redeemed. THE WORLD for
its part will resolutely support any honest effort
to redeem these promises fully, by whomsoever
made, and will as resolutely denounce every ob
stacle thrown hi the way of redeeming them, from
whatever quarter.
It seems to the undersigned eminently proper
that he should ask the co-operation ol the best
men of the South with THE WORLD in its efforts
to carry out the policy here outlined. Ho believes
THE WORLD to be a paper which Southern citi
zens and Democrats can recommend to Southern
readers as an influence worthy and important to
bo brought to bear with constantly increasing
power upon the conduct of our national affairs, in
the interest of truth, of justice and of harmony
among our people of all sections.
It is nij desite to keep THE WORLD in a living
relation with the best thought of the South, to
the end that the best ideas, wishes and feelings
of the Southern people may be clearly and fairly
made known to the North, the East and the West.
Alike iu private and in public affairs the misunder
standing of men by one another lies at the root of
so much evil that the word itself has come to be
a synonym with quarreling and strife. It Mas a
wise saying of Lord Elgin, at the time of one ol
our sharpest disputes with Great Britain, that
two inteilig nt gentlemen alone on a ralt in the
Atlantic with plenary powers could adjust the
whole matter honorably in an hour.
THE WORLD simply asks its friends at the
South to aid in bringing about a complete meeting
of minds on all public questions between the in
tel.igeut citizens of all parts of the Union.

THE POET.
[From the Lond<m World , November C.]
The poet was not born to teach
A moral h sson to mankind;
He hath ho solemn creed to preach,
But, fancy-free and unconfined,
By sunlit glade or gray sea-beacli
His lyre wakes to the shifting wind.
And if ho be a minstrel true,
It’s ev’ry sound should charm your ears,
Of ev’ry cloud tho changing hue
Should bear some fruit In smiles or tears,
And all liis songs should waft to you
An echo of some voice he hears.
This, true to Nature and to Art,
Ho liiugs his music on the gale;
And even should its tones Impart
Hut gall ami bitterness, and lail
To ease bis own o’erburdened heart
Aud prove to yours of no avail,
From love of song alone ho sings,
Aud as his mood is foul or fair
His voice in tune or discord rings,
No matter 1 so tho voice be there.
And should his lyre e’en snap its strings
lie will not know, he will not care I

Hunting In Style.— A car arrived
here yesterday that is worth no
ticiug. It hails from Worcester,
Massachusetts, and is tbo hunting
palace car of Jerome Marble. He
is a wealthy gentleman, who has a
mania for outdoor sport. For four
years lie has taken in the Northern
Pacific country. His car this year
was on exhibition at the Centennial,
and is considered a rare piece of
workmanship. The lutings of the
interior are his own. Mr. Marble’s
family accompany him, with a low
invited guest. Tbo car is a house in
itself. It has a line drawing room,
twenty-four feet long, which in turn
is used for dining room and sleeping
apartments, £)n the floor is a velvet
carpet, with several easy chairs aud
rockers, and an upright piano, The
ladies amuso themselves as in any
well regulated mansion. There is a
neat kitchen, with all the improved
machinery of that important apart
ment. There is un armory and coat
room. The has a door
bell, and strangers are expected to
notice it when they call. Under the
car is a large coal and ice box. The
rear platform is fenced iu for kitchen
buckets and game. There is also a
common car for the dogs, boats, and
other necessary articles not proper
in an elegantly appointed resi
dence. The proprietor has a con
tract with the railroad company that
requires any train to couple on to
his curs when ho signals for the
same. The party has been out since
September 2. Ducks, ckickei a, geese
and antelope have been their prin
cipal conquest.—St. _ Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Consumption or Lumber tn the
United States.— Tho annual demand
for ties and sleepers of our 90,000
miles of railway is estimated (o be
40,000,000 square feet, and to in
closo tho roads would require 180,-
000 miles of fence. We have 75,000
miles of telegraph-wire to put up,
for which 800,000 trees are needed,
while repairs would need near 300,-
000 more trees a year. The common
lucifer match uses up 300,000 cubic
feet of the finest pine annually. The
bricks baked every year require 3,-
000,000 cords of wood, which would
bo all that 50,000 acres of average
timbcr-laml would contain. Shoe
pegs exhaust annually 100,000 cords
of wood; lasts and boot-trees some
500,000 cords of beach, birch, and
maple, and about as much more is
required for tho stock of planes and
other tools. The packing-boxes
made in the United States in 1874
cost $12,000,000, and tho lumber
manufactured into wagons, agricul
tual implements, etc., was worth
over $100,000,000. An immense
quantity of lumber is employed for
fences of houses and farms, though
these may decrease with time as
hedges are likely, to a great extent,
to take their place. Our consump
tion of lumber increases steadily,
and so do our foreign shipments,
our exports of pine, maple, walnut
and oak being very large. Immense
as our resources are, the supply
must, ere long, bo exhausted.
Idleness is the mother of vice,
and a boy who is allowed to grow
up in idleness is pretty sure to be a
vicious man. The parents of such
boys have a fearful responsibility
resting upon them when they let
tlieir sons run about late hours of
the night instead of keeping them
at homo reading good newspapers
and books, and training them into
moral habits so as to become re
spectable men instead of idlers, rum
drinkers, gamblers and loafers,
which is sure to bo the case with the
night-runners and day idlers, then
the responsibility is increased. Give i
the boys plenty to do, and you will j
preserve their morals. Bettera tired j
body than a vicious mind.

can be heard faieher than the loud

A Romance of the Breakers.—
The New York j3un states that in
July last a party of twenty young
ladies and gentleman from Morri
oania went on an excursion to Rock
away Beach. Miss Lillian Ved Keu
ren, the daughter of a Newark(N.
J.) jeweler, who was visiting her
aunt in Morrisania, was one of the
merriest of the excurtionists. While
she was in the surf she was caught
by an undertow and swept under
the water. Mr. C. M. Millis, a young
man from Troy. N. Y. who was with
the excurtionists, dashed into the
water and succeeded in rescuing
Miss Van Iyeureu after a hard battlo
with the breakers. The maiden was
unconscious for some time after her
rescue, and, when she recovered she
warmly thanked her preserver. Mr.
Millis was very attentive to tho
young woman thereafter, and it was
finally announced that they were
engaged, and it is now announced
that the marriage w r as consummated
at Newark on Wednesday last.
Judge Hilton, the companion and
heir of the late A. T. Stawart, is by
no means complimentary to his late
benefactor. Being asked by a re
porter if Mr. Stewart had been
buried with three pearl studs in his
shirt, tho Judge smiled and snid:
“Why, Mr. Stowart would have
turned over in his grave if he had
any idea that three pearl studs wore
to be wasted in that manner. He
was a very plain man in his dress.
He used to wear a string for a watch
chain, and would never get any
other. I think ho was prouder of
that watch-string than of all tho
rest of his personal attire put to
gether. Why, it was not until about
three years before his death that I
induced him while in Paris to pur
chase a pair of gold sleeve-buttons.
Mr. Stewart was a veay plain man
in his dress.”
No Moke Sleepless Nlohts.— r
Somebody, who seems to have tried
it, says: “The latest method we have
heard of for curing cases of puro
sleeploessness, when unaccompanied
by pain or disease, is the following:
Get out of bed and take a linen
bandage—although a handkerchief,
neatly folded longwise will do as
well, perhaps better. Dip one-half
of tho handkercheif into water, pass
the wet portion around the wrist,
over this lay the dry half, and tuck
iu the ends so as to make all secure;
Lie down again. Tho wet bandage
will be found to exercise a most
soothing influence on the pulse; this
will soon extend all over the nervous
system, and calm, refreshing sleep
will be the result.”
Getting up in a cold room to make
a fire is like getting up in life. If
you crawl timidly out of bed, go op
tip-toe to the stove, and allow tho
shivers to get control of you before
tho kindling starts, your fire will
probably boa failure, and you will
half freeze to death in the operation.
But if you jump out bravely, bustlo
around, pull on your clothes, knock
over a chair or two, and pitch in tho
stove wood, you will probably be too
warm before tho fire gets to burn
ing, and have to opon a window. So
in life. Attack it timidly and you
will fail. Grapple with it, hurry up
things, stir around, conquer for
tune, and you will be a success.

light his mother-in-law went out to
get a melon, and got the beans. She
was seriously wounded, and refuses
to believed that Gilman did not sot
the trap for her.
Three things to avoid—ldleness,
loquacity, aud flippant jesting.
