TEXAS LETTER.
We take the following extract from
la. letter to Mr. C. C. Kiser from Mr.
J. L. Worley, who recently left this
lcounty. It is written from near Long
i Branch, Texas, Feb. 24th, 1885 :
“We are 18 miles from Henderson,
where the land is fine and the timber
the finest I ever saw. It is a good
stock country. Cattle live entirely
on the range. They look much bet
ter than many corn-fed Georgia colts.
The soil here is a black sandy loam.
The formation seems to be sand al
most entirely. The well we use wa
ter out of is nearly forty feet deep
and is sand all the way. The water
rises off a nice white sand. I saw
one spring in the field on the place
we live on that rises out of nice white
sand and I am told that the water is
good. The bottoms here are wide
and banks of the creek are high, ten
feet deep to the water. The bottom
lands are set in cane which answers
for winter pasture. The summer
range is good. Cattle get very fat
here during the summer which ena
bles them to stand the winter on
cane. There are some alligators
here. There was one killed a few
miles from this place a few days be
fore we got here that measured nine
feet. Afew deer, and coons are more
plentiful than rabbits are in Georgia.
I have not seen any game of any kind
since I came here.
If we had a railroad near here and
a market for the timber, this would
be as good a country as any in Amer
ica. There is enough white oak and
hickory on 20 acres here to run
Brumby’s Chair Factory two years
and it is better than they can get
‘where they ate. This is the finest
timbered country I ever saw. Cot
ton, corn and oats do well here.
Wheat does not do well, in fact they
do not attempt to raiseit. Thisis a
land of turnips and potatoes. They
do well here. It isas good for pota
toes as any part of South Georgia
and perhaps better.”
[For The Marietta Journal.
DON'T BORROW TROUBLE.
It is possible that during this year
there may be many miserable people.
This has always been so, and will be
to the end of time. Some are always
miserable from the fault of others and
some from their own fault; some be
cause their only happiness is in be
ing miserable, and some mnobody
knows why. There is a good deal of
misery that cannot be helped, but, on
the other hand, there is much that
can be turned into joy if people will
orly take the trouble to make the
honest attempt to toss it topsy-turvy. 1
There are many people miserable who
might just as well be happy. There
are those who allow their minds to
dwell on awful forebodings of evil
that never come to pass and never
were going to. There are some who
are so careless and without system
in their daily work that they turn
labor into trouble and the business of
the day into misery. There are some
who never rightly learned how to eat,
to sleep, or to take exercise. Every
meal means anguish or dissatistac
tion; every effort at slumber is un
casy torment and vexatious night
mare; and every mile walked is a
burden of fatigue. To all such people
we say, ‘“don’t borrow trouble.” Why
not tip your misery overboard and
begin to enjoy life 7 Why not try to
be happy for at least this year? If
you have doubts, and burdens, and
distresses, and gloomy thoughts, do
them all up in a bundle and roll them
away. If you have been taxing brain
and body too severely, let up on them
and quit making slaves of them. If
daily toil has been grim and unven
tilated bondage, throw open the win
dows and let in the sunshine. Open
your mouth with an occasional hearty
laugh, and fill your lungs with large
draughts of pure air. Be of good
cheer. Let the remainder of this
year be one of growth and of glad
‘ncss. Set out with a determination
to be happy yourselves, and to make
as many other people happy as you
can. There are better and brighter
days coming. Life is too short to
spend it in gloom, and sorrow, and
apprehension of possible disaster.
Lift up your heads and rejoice. We
all have had many mercies to be
thankful for and the catalogue is not
yet exhausted. Begin now, to look
on the bright side and remember,
“Every cloud has a silver lining.”
Don’t borrow trouble, resolve to be
cheerful, from now, to the last mo
ment of closing December.
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the biessings of the day,
With a patient hand removing
All the briars from our way,
C. B, G,
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S INAUGU
RAL ADDRESS.
Ferrow Crrmizens: In the pres
ence of this vast assemblage of my
countrymen lam about to supplement
and seal by the oath which I shall
take the manifestation of a great and
free people. In the exercise of their
power and right of self-government
they have committed to one of their
fellow citizens a supreme and sacred
trust and he here consecrates himself
to their service. This impressive
ceremony adds little to the solemn
sense of responsibility with which I
contemplate the duty I owe to all the
people of the land. Nothing can re
lieve me from the anxiety, lest by any
act of mine their interests may suffer,
‘and nothing is needed to strengthen
‘my resolution to engage every facul
‘ty and effort in the promotion of their
welfare. Amid the din of party strife
‘the people’s choice was made, but its
attendant circumstances demonstra
‘ted anew the strength and safety of a
}govermuent by the people. In each
succeeding year it more clearly ap
pears that our Democratic principle
needs no apology and that in its fear
less and taithful application is to be
found the surest gurantee of good
government, but the best results in
the operations of a government,
wherein every citizen has a share,
largely depend upon a proper limita
tion of a purely partisan zeal and ef
fort, and a correct appreciation of the
time when the heat of the partisan
should be merged in the patriotism
of the citizen. To-day the executive
branch of the government is trausfer
red to a new keeping, but this is still
the government of all the people, and
it should be none the less an object
of their affectionate solicitude. At
this hour the animosities of political
strife, the bitterness of partisan de
feat and the exultation of partisan
triumph should be supplanted by an
ungrudging acquiescense in the pop
ular will and a sober, conscientious
concern for the general weal. More
over, if from this hour we cheerfully
and honestly abandon all sectional
prejudice and distrust and determine
with manly confidence in one anoth
er to work out harmoniously the
achievements of our national destiny,
we shall deserve to realize all the
benefits which our happy form of
government can bestow. On this au
spicious occasion we may well renew
the pledge of our devotion to the con
stitution, which launched by the
founders of the republic and conse
crated by their prayers and patriotic
devotion, has for almost a century
borne the hopes and the aspirations
of a great people through prosperity
and peace, and through the shock of
foreign conflicts and the perils of do
mestic strife and vicissitudes. By
the Father of His Country our con
stitution was commended for adop
tion as “the result of a spirit of amity
and mutual concession.” In that
‘same spirit it should be administered
in order to promote the lasting wel
l fare of country and to secure the full
measure of its priceless benefits to us
!and to those who will succeed to the
1 blessings of our national life.
The large variety of diverse and
competing interests subject to Feder
al control, persistently seeking the
recognition of their claims, need give
us no fear that “the greatest good to
‘the greatest number” will fail to be
‘accomplished if the halls of national
ilegislation, that spirit of amity and
‘mutual concession shall prevail in
i which the constitution had its birth.
If this involves the surrender or post
ponement of private interests or the
abandoment of local advantages com
pensation will be found in the assur
ance that the common interest is
subserved and the general welfare
advanced. In the discharge of my
official duty I shall endeavor to be
| guided by a just and unrestrained
construction of the constitution, a
careful observance of the distinction
between the powers granted to the
Federal government and those reserv
ed to the States or the people, and by
a cautious appreciation of those func
tions which by the constituton and
laws have been especially assigned to
the executive branch of the govern
ment, but he who takes the oath to'
preserve, protect, and defend the con
stitution of the United States only
assumes the solemn obligation which
every patriotic citizen on the farm, in
the workshop, in the busy marts of
trade and every where should share
with him. The constitution which
prescribes his oath, my countrymen,
is yours; the government you have
chosen for a time is yours; the suf
frage which executes the will of the
freeman is yours; the laws and the
entire scheme of our civil rule from
the town meeting to the State capi
tols and the national capitol is yours.
Your every voter, as well as the chief
magistrate, under the same high
sanction, though in a diffevent sphere
exercises a public trust. Nor is this
all. Every citizen owes to the coun
try a vigilant watch and close scruti
ny of its public servants and a fair
and reasonable estimate of their fidel
ity and usefulness. Thus is the peo
ple’s will impressed upon the whole
framework of our civil polity—mu
nicipal, state and federal,—and this
is the price of our liberty and the in
spiration of our faithin the republic.
It is the duty of those serving the
people in public places to closely lim
it public expeditures to the actual
needs of the government, economical
ly administered, because this is
the right of the government to exact
a tribute trom the earnings of labor
or the property of the citizen, and
because public extravagance begets
extravagance among the people. We
should never be ashamed of the sim
plicity and prudential economies
which are best suited to the operation
of a republican form of government
and most compatible with the mission
of the American people. Those who
are selected for a limited time to
manage public affairs are still of the
people and may do much by their ex
ample to encourage, consistently with
the dignity of their official functions,
‘that plain way of life which among
their fellow citizens aids integrity
and promotes thrift and industry.
The genius of our institutions, the
needs of our people in the home life,
and the attention which is demanded
for the settlement and development
of the resources of our vast territory,
dictate the scrupulous avoidance of
any departure from that foreign poli
cy commended by the history, the
traditions and the prosperity of our
republic. Itis the policy of inde
pendence favored by our position and
defended by our known love of jus
tice and by our power. It is the pol
icy of neutrality, rejecting any share
in foreign broils and ambitions upon
other continents and repelling their
intrusion here. Itis the policy of
Monroe and of Washington and Jef
ferson : “Peace, commerce and hon
est friendship with all nations—en
tangling alliances with none.”
A due regard for the interests and
prosperity of all the people demands
that our finances shall be established
upon such a sound and sensible basis
as shall secure the safety and confi
dence of business interests and make
the wages of labor sure and steady,
and that our system of revenue shall
be so adjusted as to relieve the peo
ple from unnecessary taxation, hav
ing a due regard to the interests of
capital interested and workingmen
employed by American industries,
and preventing the accumulation of
a surplus in the treasury to tempt ex
travagance and waste.
Care for the property of the nation }
and for the needs of futuge settlers
require that the public domain should
be protected from purloining schemes
and unlawful occupation.
The conscience of the people de
mands that the Indians within our
boundaries shall be fairly and hon
estly treated as wards of the govern
ment, and their ed:ecation and civili
zation promoted, with a view to their
ultimate citizenship, and that polyg
amy in the Territories destructive of
the family relation and offensive to
the moral sense of the civilized world,
shall be repressed.
The laws should be rigidly enfore
ed which prohibit the immigration of
a servile class to compete with Amer
ican labor with no intention of ac
quiring citizenship and bringing with
them and retaining customs and hab
its repugnant to our civilization.
The people demand reform in the
administration of the governm2nt and
the application of business principles
to public affairs. As a means to this
end, civil service reform should be in
good faith enforced. Our citizens
have the right to protection from the
incompetency of public employes,
who hold their places solely as the
reward of partizan service, and from
the corrupting influence of those who
promise and those who expect such
rewards, and those who worthily seek
public employment have the right to
insist that merit and competency
shall be recognized instead of party
subserviency of the surrender of hon
est political belief. In the adminis
tration of a government pledged to
‘do equal and exact justice to all men,
there should be no pretext for anxie
ty touching the protection of the
freedmen in their rights or their se
curity in the enjoyment of the privi
leges of the constitution and its
amendments. All discussions as to
their fitness for the places accorded
to them as American people is idle
and unprofitable, except as it sug
gests the necessity for their improve
ment. The fact that they are citizens
entitles them to all the rights to that
relation and charges them with all its
duties, obligations and responsibili
ties.

These topics and the constant and
ever varying wants of an active and
enterprising population may well re
ceive the attention and the patriotic
endeavor of all who make and exe
cute the Federal laws. Our duties
are practical and callfor industrious
application, an intelligent percepticn
of the claims of public office, and
above all, a firm determination by
united action to secure to all the peo
ple of the land the full benefits of the
best form of government ever vouch
safed to man. And let us not trust
to human effort alone, but, humbly
acknowledging the power, and good
ness of Almighty God who presides
over the destiny of nations, and who
has at times been revealed in our
country’s history, let us invoke His
aid and blessing upon our labors.
THE APPLAUSE
from the immense crowd was frequent
and deafening.
TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE.
~ Then turning to the Chief Justice
and bowing President Cleveland said:
“I am now prepared to take the oath
‘prescribed by law.” As the Chief
Justice arose to administer the oath,
the vast assemblage cheered again
and again.
The President elect stood facing
the Chief Justice with the crowd on
his right. Chief Clerk McKinney of
the Supreme Court stood just to the
side of Mr. Cleveland, and held a Bi
ble upon which the oath wasadminis
tered, the President-elect also hold
ing it with his right hand. The Bi«
ble used is a small morocco covered,
gilt edge volume, pretty well worn.
It is the Bible which Mr. Cleveland’s
mother gave him when he left home
as a young man, and at his special re
quest the committee ot arrangements
had it in readiness for the ceremony.
Chief Justice Waite was the firstto

LADY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
It is announced that Miss R. E.
Cleveland, sister of the President,
will be mistress of the White House.
She is described as good looking,
with an intelligent face and head, but
not pretty, neat but plain in her dress,
and, as ex-Governor Cornell says, “a
perfect dictionary—one of the bright
est women he ever met.” A dis
patch from Albany to the Louisville
Courier-Journal says:
“She has for along time been a
lecturer by profession, her speciality
being educational subjects, and her
audiences usually the pupils of girls’
schools. She has, for example, just
lectured at the Elmira Seminary, on
“Joan of Arc.” She speaks several
languages, is a constant reader, is ex
ceptionably well informed in history
and the arts, and has that degree of
confidence in herself and the knowl
edge she possesses to be able to firm
ly take the lead in conversation, and
to hold it against the bright men and
women who have come in contact
with her. Yet in some respects she
is notably shy, and always so modest
and amiable as to win friends easily
and quickly.”
A Note of Warning to Suffering Humana
ity.
We feel that we would be wanting
in the duty we owe to suffering hu
manity if we did not sound a note of
warning in regard to the use of Mer
cury and other poisonous minerals in
the treatment of Blood and Skin Dis
eases. If the reader could see the
horrible suffering, the awful wrecks
of human health and happiness,
shown by our correspondence with
those who have been dosed with these
mineral poisons, he would shudder
with horror. Arsenic, Mercury, An
timony, and lodide of Potassium are
some of the remedies most ordinarily
used for these diseases, and they are
all porsoN. Do not take these poisons.
They might dry up your disease for a
few days, and with it you will have
Mercurial Rheumatism, which may
bring you years of torture. The Mer
cury seems to sink into the bones,
and the Potash drives the Poison in
to the system, only to lurk there and
attack the tender organs of the body,
as the lungs, the throat, the nasal or
gans and stomach. Hundreds of peo
ple have been made deaf, and a great
‘many blind, by the use of Mercury
and Potash Mixtures gotten up in
imitation of our Specific. A few
grains of sugar of lead dropped into a
glass of these imitations will cause
the poisonous drugs to fall to the bot
tom, and show the danger of using
them. Swift’'s Specific is entirely
vegetable, and is the best tonic for
delicate ladies and children and old
people in the world.
