President Cleveland will be 48.

teen business housos including one
hotel and about 20 bales of cotton
were burned. Loss from $75,000 to
$100,000.—Mr. Steve Holcombe,
once a professional gambler but now
an evangelist, is preaching to large
audiences with great success in that
city.—Eight business hou-es were
burned iu Newport, Texas, on
Thursday last.—Governor McDan
iel has issued au order for a now
election in Fannin county, on uc-
count of the tie at the late election
betweeu Messrs. Dugger and Chas

candidates, an exciting campaign
may be expected.—Sir Moses Mon-
tefiore is now very feeble, and will
probably never see another birth

way to Utah, are among the south

Serious Thoughts For Parents.
[ II ritlcn for the Herald.J
While tlieru are su many forcos at
work iu the world coming on with
the utmost energy, the great design
of the parent, that move the world
in a moral, intellectual, aud religu
ous view, it behooves every one
who bus any influence, any obliga
tion, or uny duties iu liie to fall in
with the mighty current und push
his or her wotk, in the great strife
that is rugiug between good and
evil, up to tho full measure of duty.
Whatsoever thy hands fiud to do,
do with thy might, work while it is
day, for the uight cometh when no
man can work, soon the great diary
of our lives will be written and tho
book laid away, subject to no
change or alteration. No mistakes
can be corrected, no blots taken
from the sheet, but it will be iu the
hands of the fiual Judge who is no
respecter of persons, and who will
look at and judge all of our nets by
the light of the Bible, and His own
knowledge of good and evil with
uo regard to what we may claim as
no harm. The churoh aud the
world are getting too near together
\Vhoteforo come out from among
them und be ye separate, saitli tho
Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing and I will receive you. Per
haps tho greatest evil that now curs
oh the world, is strong driuk and
we believe it is encouraged by pro
fessing Christians as much, if not
more than any other evil. It is eu-
contaged by visiting the bar, and
finds very great friends to its des
tructive force iu those who use it
around their own board, and deal it

is more unreasonable for parents

it on fostive occasions, than it is for
him, who acknowledges no moral
restraint to sell it for gain. The re

childhood have the most powerful

Tho country can now rejoice that
honor nud purity will take the place
of fraud and corruption, and that
the whole land, North, South, East
and West, will bo “rodoemed, re

Republicans die hard; hut with their
loath, national trickery and thieve

upon a sojid union of bauds nud
hearts.
Tho Mythical Lost Atlantis.
The ancients had a legend that
beyond tho Pillars of Hercules, wimt
wo now call tho Straits of Gibraltar,
thorn existed a vaBl continent in

H. Moyer tells of certain archaeo

The New President’.
The Tboufasville Enterprise in its
issue of 13th in-t., pays the follow
ing merited tribute to President
Cleveland:
Thi* has been the most remarks
ble election ever known in the histo
ry of the American Republic. Six
years ago Grover Cleveland was au
uuknown man, occupying the hum
ble office of Sheriff of Erie county,
New York. His strict personal
honesty and conscientious devotion
to his duty, attracted public notice,
and led to his election as Mayor of
Buffalo his homo Here tho sumo
determination to do his duty
whatever sta' ion God saw pleased
to pull him, led to -his nomination
and eloctiou, by the largest majority
ever given a Gubernatorial candi
date, as Governor of tho Empire
8tato of the Union. His oxemplu
ry administration of this high office
domauded his promotion, and now
in less than a decade from the time
that ho first appeared before the
public, he has reached the highest
office in their gift. He presents a
iv cord of the most remarkable iu
the history of the world. Napole
on Bonaparte attained his eminence
by wonderful military ability, but
he climbed from the ranks of tho
public to a throne
through blood. Grover Cleveland,
protending to no brilliancy, but con
tented with simply doing his duty,
aud boiug ouly a manly, conscien
tious, nouesl man, has commanded
public couadeuco, and in six short
years has, turough the force of in
nate integrity alone, reached from
things being equal, the first were
always decidedly superior to the
last in debate, compo-ition and gen
eral intelligence.—fDaniel Webster.

From tbo Milton Ga., Demcorat.
On last Tuesday being at Gainer*

Gaines and visited the cell of Eu-
geue W. Beck,tbo murderer of Clav-

We found him in good health.
He expressed himself pleased at
our comiug to see him, and asked
after the people of this county. It
will be remembered that be was a
citizen of this county until one yoar
ago. lie asked what the people
thought of hts case and conduct.
We tcld him they were surprised,
griovod and outraged in their feel-
tugs, and asked him to give us an
account of the terrible tragedy.
Ho gave us substantially the follow
ing statement: “1 am here in jail
without sympathy, and have com
mitted the worst crime ever com
mitted iu Georgia. I have killed
the best ftiend I ever hud—my
wife—and an inoffensive good girl
who had never done me any injury
and 1 ought to aud will suffer death
for it."

He said: I never had contemplat

all to restore them to lifo. I have

White Lines ol the Dark Continent.
The most important internntional
work of our era is the effort whioh
is making by the European nations
to opon up Africa to tho civilisation
aud trade of the Old World. Great
Britain is taking possession of Up
per nnd Lower Egypt, nnd is assert
ing her authority ns against tho
Boers, the final result of which will
be au extension of her power over
portions of South Africa now in pos
session of the native tribes The
Knropoau movements in Western Af
rica have left ouly about 850 miles
of the seaboard in native hands be
tween the desert of Sahara and the
Cape of Good Hope. During the
past year England and Germany
have takeu possession* of over a
thousand miles ot sea coast. South
of the Sahara Desert, France claims
jurisdiction over 600 mijes of coast
lino, Groat Britain over 1,300 miles,
Germany over 750 miles, Portugal
over 800 miles, while the Republic
of Liberia has 358 miles of sea coast.
An understanding has been arrived
at betweeu Great Britain and Ger
many, and both of those powers will
act together in opening the Congo
land to commerce. Under tbo aus
pices of Belgium, Lieut. Becker has
started at the head of an expedition
to establish trading stations right
through the heart of Africa irom the
west to the east coast. Having con
quered Algeria r.nd annexed Tunis,
Franco will probably next overtun
Tripoli and Morocco. Thus from
evorv quarter is Europe pressing to
ward the interior of Africa, and by
the close of this century the Dark
Continent will bo dark no longer.—

wretched man living,
Danger of Close Elections.
“It has been my constant politi*
cal prayer sinoe thee eotion in 1876
that uo Presidential election should
be closo,” said an eminent army of
ficer to a Washington Star reporter.
At the time of the Tilden-JHayes
election a political war was eminent
and I was in a position to know how
imminent. We expected that the
troops would be called out at any
minute, uot in the interest of auy
one party, but to preserve order.
The troops were in readiness, bat
were not crJered out. Every man
who had a command was given to
underBtaud that bad better be ready
to answer the first summons. Yes
terday 1 was greatly in fear that
tho country would be in a similar
danger, for the incendiary stand
taken by some of the leading jour
nals of both purties boded no good.
To-day, however, 1 feel better. It
looks as if the election can be Bet-
tied beyond question. Whut a ter
rible thing a party war would be,"
he continued. “The civil war wag
bad enough when one part of the
country was in arms against the oth*
but just thiuk of a war that would
enter every village in the laud, and
even divide -families. This vague
talk that I have heard about calling
out the military to enforce the
claims of a party is preposterous
and ridiculous. Such a course
would not be thought of seriously
for.au instant. The military could
only be used in maintaining peace.
Other ai my officers and prominent
officials of the War Department ex
pressed similar opinions.
