Emperor William, of Germany, is 83 years old. Louisiana is said to be solid for ’’Gen. Hancock for president. It is said only a few locomotives can make fifty miles an hour. The workingmen of San Francisco have acted wisely in repudiating Dennis Kearney. Two presidential “dark horses,’’ David Davis and Hugh J. Jewett, ** are Maryland men by birth. The southern excursionists to Cin cinnati were royally entertained. The festival is said to have been the grandest on record. Ex-Senator Christiancy’s marriage with a young treasury girl a few years since is not turning out happi ly. She wants a divorce. Ex-Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, said speech a few days ago that state sovereignty was the great bulwark of safety in this country. Vanderbilts restoration of 10 per 1 cent, to the salaries of the employes on his several railroads adds $500,- 000 to the annual expenses of these lines. Some of our northern exchanges are begjnning to fear that the price 'of liberating the southern slaves may be the enslavement of their own people. The Central Georgia Weekly pro poses to harmonize on associate Jus tice Field, of California, for president, and Senator David Davis, of Illinois, for vice-president. Mr. Edison has a rival it is stated in the person of Mr. W. E. Sawyer, x of New York City, who is exhibiting nn electric light, using lamps a little different from those of Edison. The statement that if Gen. Grant is nominatad at Chicago, his repub lican opponents or at least a portion of them will hold a convention and nominate another candidate, should be received with caution. The floodgates of scandal seem to have been turned loosed in Wash ington, which city is either most ter ribly belied, or is one of the vilest sinks of iniquity, of official, political end social corruption, in the civilized world. •> ♦ Senator Hill’s two days speech, favoring the confii mation of Sim mons as census cupervisor for the frst Georgia district, was rather barren of reeults, as the nomina tion was rejected by a vote of 10 to 29. —OB> Connecticut proposes to give the women a voice on the liquor ques tion—the lower house of the legisla ture having passed a bill allowing women to vote under the same re strictions as men, upon all questions involving the liquor traffic. Judge Field is the son of Rev. Da vid Dudley Field, of Stockbridge, Mass., and is brother to David Dud ley Field, the eminent lawyer, to Cyrus W. Field, of trans-Atlantic cable fame, and to Rev. Henry M. Field, D. D,, publisher of the New York Evangelist— all three of New York. Since the decision of the Supreme court in the Cox and Hill cases, it _ has been demonstrated that of the journalists in Georgia, there are scores of modern Blackstoges. It must be amusing to the learned Judges of that court to read the es fusions of s >me of the writers as to what should or should not have been done in those cases. The Bridgeport Farmer thinks that “in the event of the nomination of either Grant or Blaine there will be a strong pressure by independent republicans upon the Cincinnati con , vention for the nomination of Senator Bayard. If Grant is the nominee, there will also be a strong pressure from the south for the nomination of General Hancock.’’ The Washington Post believes, as many other people do, that the re publican party will not yield power, if it can be helped. We are confi dently told, however, that “the man who is lawfully elected next Novem ber will be duly inaugurated next "March. And any man or set of men who undertake forcible resistance will be eliminated from the trouble some scenes of this mortal sphere.” -> . The Supreme court of Indiana, in a recent decision, declares that the legal name of a person consists of one Christian name and a surname. Any one may haveasmamy middle names or initials as are given to him or as he chooses to take. They do not af fect his legal name and may be in serted or not in a deed or contract without affecting its validity. Nor does a mistake in the middle ini tial. The Gainesville Eagle VOL. XIV. OFF CAPE HATTEBAS IN A STORM. [The following touching lines were written by Dr. M. F. Stephenson in 1838, while on a ship off Cape Hat teras, during a storm, when all on board were looking to be wrecked:] With deep and doleful sound. Midnight strikes upon my ear; Darkness shrouds all nature round, And entombs the dying year. Thus will man, with all his power, His wealth, his love, his pride, R-ach his tomb; the awful hour Will come, with death, his bride. How many pine on beds es death In every country, every clime; Vet always with their dying breath They pray for help Divine. Why not turn at once to God, While reason holds his sway, And kiss his chastening rod Before we’re called away? Lord, in mercy give us grace To see our need of Thee; Forgive the sins of all our race, And save us in Eternity. M. F. Stephenson. Washington Correspondence. [Special Correspondence of the Eagle, j Washington, D.C., March 18,1880. We shall have music whenever a political subject comes up for dis* cuseion in the House or Senate, or any subject which can be tortured into one. Even that old neat of rad ical corruption, the Government Printing office, managed by a run down political hack who confesses his inability to give its affairs per sonal attention, is defended by rad icals when attacked by Democrats, and the bloody shirt elevated over it by men as able as Hawley and Garfield. The same shirt is eleva ted over the election of Marshals— special Deputy Marshals. It seems that republicans continue to believe victory will follow that emblem wherever it appears. Senator Blaine is credited with an intention of en larging upon a new subject, and giv- | ing only slight attention to the shirt.; But he seems to be alone. I mentioned the special Deputies above. They will not be paid by any act of this congress. It is held that although they may be constitu tional officers under the recent Su preme Court decision—that is, that there is power to appoint them—yet that congress may or may nc t appropri ate money for their payment, thus in dicating its opinion that it is improper or inexpedient to appoint them at this time. The democratic idea is, in short that there may possibly, at some time be a necessity for the exercise of the oppointing power in thia re spect, but that there is not, and has not lately been such necessity or even propriety in doing so, and, there fore, no appropriation will be made. This only applies to special Deputy Marshals, there being a willingness to provide for the Marshals and their Deputies. Speculation as to tho prospective radical candidate for the Presidency is an amusement much indulged in by the Solons here while laboriously neglecting the public business. There is now going on among rad ical politicians what seems to be a general change of heart. There are dozens of them who, a month ago, shook their heads at the idea of a “third term,” and who are now as good Grant men as any. We may as well understand at once that the man we have to fight is Grant, and wo must nominate that man who can rally the most votes against him. Rex. Temperance and Temperance Orders. Editor Eagle—We wish to say a few things, and only a few, in con nection with the very valuable arti cles of Bro. M. P. C. It is the deep interest in the tem perance reform which impels us to write. The writer has taken some pains to investigate toe subject in its va rious phases. He has had some op portunities of study in its physiolog ical as well as moral efft-c's, and he would beg of those who are di posed to think lightly of these things to open their eyes and look round, and for one time in their with an unprejudiced mind, and with an eye to the future welfare of their coun try, their families and themselves, to seriously, soberly and carefully con sider. It is with profound gratitude that we witness the onward motion of the grand temperance wave, which is deepening and widening through out our whole country, and driving before it the lake of liquid fire, which only a few years ago threatened the destruction of our nation. The great fountains of this poison ous stream, as well as the smaller ones, are now being broken up, and instead of confusion, riot and blood shed, we now have peace, order and prosperity. This is especially noted in some of our smaller towns, where these little fountains of damnation have been dried up. Scientific men are speaking out more decidedly and boldly than ever before. The churches are waking up to their fearful re sponsibility. We are glad that Bro. C. has brought before your readers the Drew, Washingtonian and other movements. He cannot say too much in commendation of the grand men who are leading in these move ments or of their work. They are a power which is felt throughout the whole land; bat these ’ movements are more transient than we would like for them to be, and their opera tions have been principally in the cities. So we need other institutions to aid in the advancement of our no ble cause. This we have in our secret orders—secret whiah means only private—secret only to protect from intruders. We can’t think that Bro. C. undervalues these orders, for he has been known as an active worker in some of them. These orders are thoroughly organized. They give permanency to the cause. They af ford opportunity for combined and. corcentrated effort. Their only ob ject is the elevation of mankind and to save our people from the ruinous consequences of intemperance. Thou sands of men have been saved who would have been utterly lost had they not been brought into these orders, where they conld be watched over, supported and comforted. We will say nothing of the influence over the young. We could say much in behalf of these orders, but will for bear. We know that they have done, and are still doing, great good. There are some who object to all secret, orders. We have no quarrel with them, but must confess that wo are too dull to see the point in their argument. There are others who object on acconnt-of the dues. Well, we who are members can very well afford to save five cents in each month (which is all the dues we have to pay) from some needless luxury. Every institution must have officers, and must have intelligent work and some money. Yet, there are some who will persist in talking about the pitiable amount which our two or three officers in the state receive as wages for the which they are actually at work, who, no doubt, were it not for their duty to themselves and their families, would fully and freely give their whole time and talents to the noble cause; in which they live and labor. May every friend of humanity arise in his mighty power to drive intemperance from our land and eave our bodies from a premature grave and our souls from everlasting pun ishment. H. P. Q. Gillsville, Ga. The Legend of the Ivy. It is an old legend—a German one I think —and it runs in this wise: Once upon a time there lived, be side the Rhine, a beautiful young lady. She had a lover who loved her and whom she loved in re; urn, but after he had woed her-—not one year but three—he asked her to marry him, and she, anxious to show her power, merely answered “wait!” “I have waited three years,” he said, “but at your bidding I will wait one more—just one more, I will go away from you and return when the year is over to ask your hand.” Then he went away and became a soldier, and praise of his bravery fill ed the land, but the lady waa piqued by the thought that he had been able to leave her for even a year, and when he returned, she determined to punish him, though all the while she loved him well. He knelt at her feet, and took her hands in bis and said: “Lady, I have come back so claim you for my wife.” But her answer was: “Wait longer; a patient waiter is not a loser.” The soldier arose. He sighed, but he said no word of remojistrance. “I will wait for two ye; tre longer,” he said, calmly. “If I c*o not lose, all well.” Then he left her again. She had hoped that he would plead with her, ard that she should be forced to change her mind; but now he was gone—gone for two loaig years How she lived through tnem she could not tell, but they passed, and again her lover was before her, “I have waited patiently,” was all he said. The lady yearned to east herself into his arms, but pride was strong within her. “Wait longer,’’ she sftid “No,” he answered. “This is the last time. If I wait now I will wait forever.’’ At this her blood boiled; her eyes flashed, she arose and drew back haughtily. “Then wait forever,” she said, cold ly- Surely, she thought, he would sink to her feet and beseech her forgive ness, but he did no such thing. He left her without a word. And now her heart sunk in her bosom. She wept bitter tears and repented in dust and ashes. When a year had gone by she could bear her woe no longer, and she sent her little foot page to her old lover, bidding him , bear this message: “Come back to me.’’ “But the message the little foot*- page brought back was just this: “Wait.” Again she was left to her sorrow, and two years glided by; then once more she bade her pago ride oyer the mauntains to her lover s castle. “Tell him I am waiting,” she said. The page rode away and rode back. He stood before his lady and < doffed his cap, and repeated the mes- | sage that had been given him: “The patient waiter is not a loser.” “He is punishing me,’ thought the lady, and for two years longer she remained in her castle. ]Jer htqprt GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1880. was breaking. Her health failed. She knew that death was near. A longing .to see him seized her soul. Again bhe sent her cruel lover a message. “Tell him,*” she said, “that Xam near my end, and that if I wait long er before I see him I shall wait for ever.” But nothing softened the heart her own craelty had turned to stone. The page returned and stood be side his lady’s couch. His eyes were full of tears, his head was bent upon his breast; he sighed and hid his face in bis plumed cap. The lady lifted her wan face. “Speak,” she said. “The message.” “Alas!” sighed the page, “I would it were a more tender one.’’ “Whatever it may be,speak,” gasp ed the lady. “The only massage that I have,” replied the page, “is: ‘Wait forever!” “I am well paid in my own coin,’’ said the lady. “At last I have re ceived all my own answers back.” * From that moment she faded fast. In a little while she died, and they buried her in the old church yard,, with a stone at her head and a stone at her feet. When spring came there was gass upon the grave, and there also was a new plant strange to tho-e who looked upon it; a plant with dark glossy leaves, that crept slowly but surely along, clutching fast to ev r ry rough surface it met, There had never been a plant like that on ea~th before. Now we call ittheivy;but this is what those who saw it for the first time said of it: “It is the lady whom her lover bade to wait forever. In this from she is creeping toward his castle slowly but surely. So she will creep on until she reaches the heart she threw away.” Generations have passed from earth. The castle is a ruin, covered with ivy, and the peasants will tell you that it has crept therefrom the lady's grave, point by point, over stone and rock, through the grave yard and over gates and fences. You can trace it, if you choose, they say; but do you not try it. A Strange Dream Story There is an explicable story— which I believe has never been pub lished —among the traditions of the fertile hill country of western Penn sylvania, the most unlikely quarter in the world to serve as a breeding place of mystery. It was settled almost wholly by well-to-do farmers from the north of Ireland, economi cal, hard-working folk—God fearing too, after the exact manner described I y John Knox, and having little pa tience with any other manner. Not a likely people, assuredly, to give credence to any fanciful supersti tions, and still less to originate them. This story indeed has a bold, mat ter-of-fact character in every detail which quite sets it apart from re lations of the supernatural. I have nover heard it explained, and it is, the best authenticated mystery in my knowledge. Here it is in brief: Among the Scotch-Irish settlers in Washington county in 1812 was a family named Pylmire, who occupied a comfortable farm and house. Rachel, the daugh ter, was engaged to a young farmer of the neighborhood. On a Saturday evening in July, having finished her week’s work, she dressed herself tidi ly ami started to visit her married sister, who lived on a farm about live miles distant, intending to return Monday morning. Sho tied up her Sunday gown and hat in a checkered handkerchief, and carried her shoes and stockings in the other hand, meaning to walk in her bare feet and to put them on. when she came in sight of her destination, after the canny Scotch fashion. She left home about 7 o’clock in order to have the cool evening for her walk. The road to tho farm was lonely and unfre quented. The girl did not return home on Monday, but no alarm was felt, as the family thought her sister would probably wish to detain her for a few days; and it was not until tho latter part of the week that it was found that she had never been at her sisters. The country was scoured, but in vain; the alarm spread, and excited a degree of ter ror in the peaceable, domestic com munity, which would seem inexplica ble to city people, to whom the newspaper has brought a budget of crime every morning since their child hood. To children raised in those lonely hamlets and hill farms murder was a far off, unreal horror; usually all that ihey knew of it was from tho doings of Cain and Jael, set off with hideous wood cuts in the family Bible. The girl had left home on Satur day at 7 o’clock. That night long before 10 o’clock (farmers go to bed with the chickens,) a woman living in Green county, about forty miles from the Pylmire farm, awoke her husband in great terror, declaring that she had just seen a murder done, and went on to describe a place she had never seen before—a hill country with a wagon road run ning through it, and a girl with a bundle lied in a checkered handker chief, her shoes and white stockings in the other hand, walking briskly down the grassy side of the road. She was met by a young man— the woman judged from their man ner the meeting was by appointment; they eat down on the log and talked for some time. The man at last rose, stepped bo btod her and drawing out a hatchet struck her twice on tho head. She fell backward on the wet, rotten leaves dead. Presently the man was joined by another, also young, who asked: “Is it done?” He nodded, and together they lifted the body and carried it away out of her sight. After a while they came back, found the bundle of Sunday finery and the shoes and stockings, all of which were stained with blood. Theie was a ruined old mill near the road; they went into it, lifted a loose board in the flooring, put the bundle, shoes, etc., with the hatchet, underneath, i and replaced the board. Then they separated and went through the woods in different directions. The farmer’s wife told her dream to her husband that night; the next day (Sunday,) going to a little country church she remained during the in termission between the morning and afternoon services. The neighbors who had come from a circuit of twen ty miles to church, gathered, accord ing to their homely habit, in the churchyard to eat their lunch and exchange the news. Our dreamer told her story again and again, for sbe was impressed by it as if it had been reality. After the afternoon service the congregation separated, going to their widely acatten d homes. There were thus many witnesses ready to certify to the fact that the woman had told the dream the morning after the murder was committed at a distance of forty miles, when it was absolutely impos sible that the news should have reached her. There were no tele graphs, we must remember, and no railways in those days, not even mail-carriers in those secluded dis tricts. When the story of the girl’s dis appearance was told over the country at the end of the next week, the peo ple to whom the dream had been repeated recalled it. Nowadays the matter would only serve as good ma terial for the reporters, but the men of those days still believed that God took an oversight even of their dreams. Might not this be a hint from him ? The Rev. Charles Wheel er, a Baptist clergyman of Washing ton, well-known in western Pennsyl sylvania and Virginia generation ago, and Ephraim Blaine, Esq., a magistrate, father of the present Sen ator from Maine, and as popular a man m his narrower circle, drove over to see the woman who had told the dream. Without stating their purpose, they took her and her husband, on pretence of business, to the Plimire farm. It was the first time in her life that she had left her own country, and she was greatly amused and interested. They drove over the whole of the road down which Rachel Ply mire had gone. “Have you ever seen this neigh borhood? ’ one of them asked. “Never,” she.replied. That ended the matter, and they turned back, taking a little used cross-road to save time, presently the woman started up in great agita tion, crying: “This is the place I dreamed of! ’ They assured her that Rachel Plymire had not been upon that road at all. “I know nothing about her,” she said, “but the girl I saw in my dream came along here; there is the patch through which the man came, and beyond that turning you will find the log on which he killed her.” They did find the log, and on the ground the stains of blood. The woman, walking swiftly, led him to the old mill and so the board under which lay the stained clothes and the hatchet. The girl e body was found afterward, buried by a creek near at hand. Rachel’s lover had already been arrested on suspi cion. It was hinted that he had grown tired of the girl, and for many reasons found her hard to shake off The woman recognized him in a crowd of other men, and startled her companions still more by poin ting out another young fellow from the West as his companion in her dream. The young man was tried in the town of Washington for murder The dreamer was brought into court, an effort was actually made to put her on the witness stand, but even then men could not be hung on .he evidence of a dream. Without it there was not proof enough for con viction, and the jury, unwilling enough, we may be sure, allowed the prisoner to escape. It was held as positive proof of his guilt that he immediately married the sister of the other accused man and removed to Ohio, then the wilderness of the West. The Coming Campaign. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the national democratic committee: The undersigned, to whom, as a sub committee, at the last meeting of your body, was refeired the resoiu t’on in reference to a more efficient organ zation of the democratic party, beg leave to report: Your committee has recognized at the outset in the consideration of the subject, the fact that there has hith erto been wanting a proper channel of communication between the na tional committee and the various committees established by the party, in each campaign, in nearly every county or subdivision thereof through out the country, and through these organizations with the masses of the party. This want has dot been felt in the same degree in those states where a thorough, system of organi zation has existed. But in many of the states scarcely any system of or ganization exists at all. The nation al committee of the republican party, through its vast army of officehold ers, is enabled to reach the people in every locality, in every state of the union. We have no such agency, and we must supply the deficiency as best we can. At one time we thought of recom mending that tlie member of the na tional committee from each state should be made the chairman of the state executive committee; that the member from each congressional dis trict of the state committee should be made tho chairman of tho con gressional district committee, and in like manner the representatives of each large political division should be made the chairman of its political sub-division, and thus establish a communication between tho national committee and all the political or ganizations of the party throughout the country. But reflection satisfied us that this plan would be likely to engender jealousies, which ought by all means to be avoided. There are features in this plan, however, which the committee think ought, if possi ble, to be adopted. The national committee, of course, has no power to enforce this or any other plan. We have corresponded with a num- ber of leading democrats throughout the country, and all have approved the plan, so far as it establishes a connecting link between the national committee and the state district, county and sub-county committees One correßpoadent only has sugges ted that we should leave to our suc cessors the adoption of any plan. But our successors, constituted as we have been, will have no more power than we have had to establish a gen eral system of party organization We, however, can i ecommend to the different state conventions, soon to assemble, to select delegates to the next national convention, a system which, if adopted, would create agen cies for our succesors, through which tney may mature, for the coming na tional canvass, all the details of a thorough and efficient organization We therefore recommend the pass age of a resolution requesting each state convention to adopt a system of organization by which the member of the national committee from each state shall be made ex officio a mem oer of the state executive committee; the member of the state committee from each congressional district com mittee; the member from each coun ty or other sub-division constituting the congressional district ex offkio a member of the county committee, or of such political sub-division, and in like manner the member of the com mittee of each larger political divis ion ex-officio a member of the com mittee of the smaller sub-division which he represents in the committee of the political division cf which such sub-division is a part. Your committee has been obliged to use these terms of division and sub-division from the fact that these divisions and sub-divisions of coun ties are known by very different names in the different states, but there will be no difficulty in applying the principle of this plan to these di visions by whatever name they may be known in each state of the union. By the adoption of this plan, a n t work connection would be established between the national committee and every organization of the party, large or small, in every state. Our successors should have agencies through which they might arrange all the details of the coming canvass. Through these agencies the national committee could ascertain the wants of the party in every section of the country, and also learn the means by which these wants could be supplied. The very nature of the orgauißation would inspire the confidence which the soldier derives in battle from the touch of his adjoining comrade, and would, when matured by experience, enable the party to move forward, we trust, in solid phalai x to vic tory Actuated, therefore, by the desire of securing a more efficient organize tion, we recommend the passage of the following resolutions: George T. Barnes, Georgia. Isaac E Eaton, Kansas. Fred O. Prince, Massachusetts. Henry D McHenry, Kentucky. William L Scott, Pennsylvania. Resolved, that this committee rec ommend to the next democratic con vention in each state the adoption of a system of party organization by which the member of the national committee from each state shall be made ex-officio a member of the state executive committee; the mem ber of the state executive committee from each congressional district ex officio a member of the congressional district executive committee; the member from each county or other political division constituting the congressional district ex officio a member of the executive committee of such county or political division, and in like manner the member of the committee of each political di vision ox-offlcio a member of the committee of the sub division of which he is the representative in the political division of which such sub division is a part. Resolved, That a copy of this re port and n solutions be furnished by the secretary of the national com mittee to each member of the com mittee, with directions that fie place the same before the next state con vention of the party in bis state, and secure such action thereon as will bring the committee of the party in the state, and every division thereof, in harmonious relations with the na tional democratic committee. Washington’s Example. Third termers generally, and whoopers-up of the Grant boom in particular, will scarcely appreciate to -he extent of its merits the following extract from Washington’s farewell address: “The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the executive government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to mo proper, especially as it may conduce to a more dis inct expression of the public voice, that I should now ap prize you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom the choice is to be made. “I beg you at the same time to do me the justice to be assured, that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the con siderations appeitaining to the rela tion which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdraw ing the tender of service, which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by no dimunition of zeal for your future interest; no defi ciency of grateful respect for your past kindness; but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both.” Young Japanese children scarcely ever cry, becuase great care is taken to keep out of their way every pos sible cause of irritation. It is prob ably in consequence of this that the Japs are, as a race, almost exaspera tingly good humored, so that a ser vant severely scolded will often mere ly reply by a beaming smile. SMALL BITS Os Various Kinds Carelessly Thrown Together. The salaries paid to federal office holders in the whole country amount to $31,252,107.

It is said that $350,000 has been offered for the New York World, and that it will require SIOO,OOO more to knock down this journalistic persim mon. When you can hardly say enough for a man, say he is one of a thous and. It will be true as long as there are 999 other men in the world. Four of the widows of Brigham Young have found rest and consola tion with second husbands. The rest are so homely they are waiting to die.
