Moan.
BY BItKT HAUTE.
“My sister’ll be down in a minute, and
says you’re to wait if you please ; 1
And says I might stay till she came, if I’d
promise never to tease,
Nor speak till you spoke to me first. But
that's nonsense, for liotv would you
know
, What she told me to say, if I didn't? Don’t
you really and truly think so ?
And then you’d feel strange here alone !
and you wouldn't know just where
to sit ;
For that chair isn’t strong on its legs, and
we never use it a hit.
We keep it to match the sofa. But Jack
says it would be just like you
To flop yourself right down upon it and
knock out the very last screw.
i “S’pose you try? I won’t tell. You’re
afraid to 1 O! you’re afraid they
would think it was mean !
Bell, then, there’s the album—that’s
pretty if your hands are clean.
For sister says sometimes! daub it; but
she only says that when she’s cross'
There’s her picture. You know it? It’s
like her, but she ain’t as good look
ing of course 1
“This is me. It’s the besl of’em all. Now,
tell me, you’d never have thought
That once I was as little as that' It’s the
only one that could be’bought—
For that was the message to pa from the
photograph man where I sat—
That he wouldn’t print off any more till he
fust got his money for that.
“What? May be you’re tired of waiting.
Why, often she’s longer than this,
There’s all her back hair to do up and all
front curls to friz
13ut it’s to be sitting here talking like
grown people, just you and me.
Do you think you’ll be corning here often ?
Oh, do ! Cut don't come like Tom
Lee.
I
“Tom Lee? Her last beau. Why, my good-
ness 1 lie used to bo here day and
night, •
Till the folks thought he'd soon be her
husband; and Jack says that gave
him a fright.
You won’t run away then as he did? for
you’re not a rich man, they say,
Fa says you’re as poor as a church mouse.
Now, are you ? And how poor are
they ?
“Ain’t you glad that you met me? Well,
I am; for I know now your hair isn't
red,
But what there’s left of it’s mousy, and
not what that naughty Jack said.
But there! I must go. Sister’s coming.
But I wish I could wait, just to see
If she ran up to you and kissed you iu (he
way she used to kiss Lee.’’
CAPITAL NOTES.
Washington, D, C., July 3.
A bill to amend the internal revenue
*foneß is a tempting thing to the Georgia
farmer who hag suffered under the out
rageous system that places a horde of
spies around his house and subjects
him to a continual annoyance and a
cruel burden. But the bill just pass
ed by the House with that pleasing
title is a delusion aod a snare. It helps
our people nothing at all. Its bene
ficiaries are the match makers, the
medicine mixers and the men rich
enough to have bank balances for t which
they can draw checks free under this
bill.
T •'as glad to hear Mr. Clements of
Georgrf properly characterize the bill
and oppose it in a vigorous speech, It
has tho evil effect of postponing all re
lief for tobacco and whisky. The
North now has what it wants and will
ncfcjoiD in any further effort to reduce
internal taxation. The Senate has yet
to handle the bill and it is hoped some
valuable amendment may be made
there.
The House has been tinkering at the
navy and Mr. Blount beautifully broke
lupsfiecor Robeson’s plan to bring po
litical influence to bear on promotion.
Ihe astute Georgian has made a very
brilliant record at this session and has
enjoyed the honor of ciushing more
incipient jobs than any man in Con
gress. Keifer shoved him off the ap
propriatioD Committee where he did
such sigQal service but he keeps his
eyes wide open on the floor and gets
in his old lick as well as ever.
Adjournment may not come until
Ihe 24th. though many of the honor
able gentlemen are anxious to c-et
home andlay their wires for the fun of
next fall.
As usual a good many of them will
bo “left” and a good many of them
ought to be.
Senator Brown has run down for a
day or two of needed rest at Farquar
Springs in Virginia, lie is stronger
than when in Georgia last but his
health is not what he could wish it to
be.
Of Senator Ilill we hear the most
mournful news and his name is sorrow
fully spoken here. I thiuk his true
greatness has ioomed before the eyes of
the nation since the hand of affliction
marred the most eloquent tongue in
America. Here he had do peer and
he is sadly missed. Governor Col*
quilt is considered a candidate to suc
ceed him and some talk of Mr, Stephens
in this connection is going quietly
around. Speaking of Mr. Stephens,
I Dever saw him look better. He is
doing a wonderful amount of work
keeping up with his correspondence
and finishing his history. The asser
tion that ho is not physically able to
discharge the duties of Governor is
amusing and I don’t think anybody
believes it. Always a favorite subject
with correspondents he is especially so
now einee be is regarded as the coming
Governor of the most progressive State
in the South.
Guitcau has been hung but I leave
you to gather your news of that sick
enitig subject from the great mass of
i that is floating through all the dailies.
I have heard nothing else for a week
and am heartily bored with it.
By the time we all get home, politics
will have become hot iu Georgia. —
Southern people talk more politics
than those at the North. They vote
with more enthusiasm if not ofteuer
and they lose their temper on proro
cations that up here only provoke a
smile.
In short our people have some very
glaring faults, but they are with them
all, the dearest, noblest, and gentlest
people that walk God’s earth,

For Congress
[Chron, & Const., June 28 ]
An “Old Line Democrat” pt -
6ents this morning the name of
Hon. George T. Barnes, for Conn
gre3sman-at-Large, The mention
of his name at this time, for the
general representative of the State
in tho next llouso of Representa*
tive3 is particularly appropriate.—
lie] embodies in a striking degree
the high principles of a: man and
the thorough qualities of the states
man. No man in the State has
been truer to his friends or more
faithful to those principles of the
party to which ho has been so long
attached. Of warm, genial nature,
he is among the most companiona
ble and popular of gentlemen—a
man of the people, and a repre°
sentative whom all classes can ap
proach, and from whom, whether
client* or constituents, his people
can at all times expect candor,
courtesy and roly upon the highest
capacity. A sa lawyer he rank*
among the most conscientious and
profound, and as an advocate he
is considered one of the most logi
cal and eloquent in the South. lie
is a broad and finished scholar,and
has trained a mind of natural
strength and liberality by the wid
est range of reading and the most
intelligent observation of men and
events.
Major Barnes has rendered great
service to the State as a public
man. lle has never held office
since his election to the Leisla-
O
ture in 1564, when the true and
tried men of the land were called
to the front in an hour of uncer
tainty and peril. But since that
time he has been a trusted leader
of the party. lie has labored as a
member of the State and National
Campaign Committees and has
been found in the front rank in ev
ery campaign since the war, where
the principles of Democracy weic
Devoted to 'the Cause of Truth ami Justice, and the Interests of the People.
GREENESHORO’, GA-, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1882.-
to bo advanced and the honor of I
tho South was to be maintained.—!
As the Georgia member of tho Na
tional Democratic Executive Com
mittee, he ha3 formulated a basis
of organization for the unity and
strength of his party, and no man
in the next campaign, whether or
not he is advanced by the people
as a candidate for office, will be
more ready to render faithful and
efficient service to his party and to
his country than the Hon. George
TANARUS, Barnes.
The Chronicle has no desiro to
anticipate the action of the State
Democratic Convention, where the
best and trueat counsel, wo trust,
will prevail; still less do we wish
to detract from the claims of the
many excellent gentlemen who
have already been presented for
the office of Congressman-at-Large
But we may with confidence say
that should Major Barnes be placed
in nomination as the general rep
resentative of the State in the For
ty-eighth Congress, the people and
the whole people will secure a nun
who has shown himself a master of
details, and who will prove himself
to he an organizer of victory; a
man who unites the patriotism of
Bayard with the scholarship of
j Garfield, and who in the judicial
caste of his mind and the breadth
of his statesmanship will take high
rank among the leaders of the
country.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., June 30, ’S3.
This day that has been looked
forward to by tho entire country as
tho longed for final scene in a Na
tional tragedy, dawnod cool with a
clear sky. Government officials
walked slowly to their offices and
Senators and Representatives went
to the Capitol impressed with a so
lemnity in which there was no
sympathy for the murderer, but a
painful recollection of the appalling
crimo committed by him one year
ago, and tho terrible days of sus
pense, hope and despair that fol
lowed. I shall not go into the de
tails of tho final scene, or describe
the manner and bearing of the crirn
nal in his poor and pitiful expia
tion. It is enough that the odious
life has been ended by an odious
death, and that one of the most
worthless and unworthy of men has
been forced to the doom of his des
picable deed. If there is any mor
al to be drawn from his life and
fate, it is to be feared the Ameri
can people have not improved it.—
Ho has been given that notoriety
which his half-donkey, half-demon
nature craved, and no doubt hie
long imprisonment and his last mo
ments were solaced by the reflec
tion that his infamy was sublime in
the reflected splendor of his victim
and the shock of the world. He
has gloated over the fact that his
name has appeared in head lines in
thousands of journals; that his
photographs have been displayed
in the windows of stationers and
photographers, that his bust has
been made by a distinguished sculp
tor; and that so-called women have
besought his autograph.
It is r.ot too much to say that
this could not have occurred in auy
country except the United States,
and it should bring blind boasters
about American civilization to the
decency of silence and reflection.
Manners are indissolubly related
to morals, and good taste is not bad
religion. The bad taste that has
tolerated tho display of Guiteau's
photograph en group with the pho*
tegraphs of the dead President, his
venerable . mother, and family in
dicates moral obliquity and justi
fies the accusation that penny grab
bing vulgarity is deplorably con*
spicuous in the United States.
(ESTA BUSHED IN THE YEAR 1865),
On Sunday, the second of July,
the first anniversary of the Asso
ciation, tho corner stouo of the
Garfield Memorial Church will be
laid by the pastor of the Disciples
Church and Chaplain of the House,
Ilov. I. D. Power. Hon. A T.
Pettibone of Tennessee and Ilor.
A S. Willis of Kentucky, mem
bers of Congress and also members
of tho Church to which the late
President belonged, will deliver
addresst'3. The Church is to be a
small edifice, though nearly twice
as large as that which President
Garfield attonded, and it will be
built on tho same ground.
Hon. Mr. Hawk who died sud
denly from appoplexy yesterday,
was also a member of this Church.
He was an upright and rigidly
temperate man. Jutt two hours
before his death he ha I received a
telegram from his home in Illinois
informing him of his unanimous re
nouaination to Congress.
It is now expected that Congress
will adjourn soon after tho tenth of
July. The dilatoriness and gen*
eral lack of system iD making up
and passing the appropriation bills
in the two Houses of Congress has
been again illustrated. New at
the vory close of the fiscal year
when all the appropriations expire
and when the Government will
come to a stand still unless suffi
cient appropriations are made at
this session, several of the most
important bills have cot yet .been
roported to the Senate, am 5 . ye
of them will bo subjected topirf
tracted if not carofu! debate before
they can be passed. S.A.C.
“ituW ST.”
They had a terrible timo at a
wedding up at Petaluma, and which
only goes to show tho- smallest
drawback will some times take tho
stiffening out cf the swollest occa
sions.
It seems that the ceremony was
a very grand affair, indeed. There
were eight bridesmaids, and the
Church was crowded from pit to
dome, as the dramatic critics would
say. But, when they got to the
proper place in the ceremony, and
the groom began feeling around
for the ring, ho discovered that it
wasn’t on hand. After tho minis
ter had scowled at the miserable
wretch for a while, the latter de
tected that the magic circlet bad
slipped through a hole in his pock
et and worked down into his boot,
lie communicated the terrible fact
in a whisper to tho bride, who
turned deadly pale, and was only
kept from fainting by the reflection
that they would inevitably cut the
strings of her satin corsage in case
she did.
“Why don’t you produce the
ring?” whispered tli6 bride’s big
brother, hoarsely, and feeling for
his pistol, under the Impression
that the miserable man was about
to back out.
“1 can’t. It’s in my boot,” ex
plained the groom under his breath,
his very hair, meanwhile, turning
red with mortification.
“Try and fish it out somehow
hurry up,” mumbled tho minister
behind his book.
“I’ll try.” gasped the victim,
who was rather stout; and he put
one foot on the chancel rail, pulled
up his trousers leg and began mak •
ing spasmodic jabs for the ring
with his forefinger. The minister
motioned to the organist to squeeze
iu a few notes to fill up the time,
while a rumor rapidly went through
the congregation to the effect that
a telegram had just arrived prov
ing that the groom had four wives
living in the East already.
I—l can’t reach it,” groaned
the half-married man in agony.—
“It won’t come.” i
“Sit down and take your boot
oft', you fool !” hissed the bride's
mother, while the bride herself
moanod piteously and wrung her
powdered hands.
There was nothing left, so tho
sufferer sat down on the floor and
beoan to wrestle with his boot,
D
which was naturally new and tight,
while a fresh rumor got undor way
to the effect that the groom was
beastly tight and insisted on paring
his corns.
As the hoot came finally off its
crushed wearer endeavored, unsuc
cessfully, to hide a trade-dollar
bole in the heel of his stocking;
noticing which, the parson, who
was a humorous sort of a sky con
tractor, said, grimly:
“You seem to be getting mar
rieljustin time, my young friend,”
And the ceremony proceeded with
the party of the first part standing
on one leg, trying to hide his well
ventilated foot under the tail of his
coat, and appropriately muttering,
“Darn it ?” at short intervals.—
