BABY LOOKING OUT FOB M K.
Two littl** hng.v loiiklh patting on the window,
Tvro'luughin*, bright eye looking out at me;
Two rosy-red <-he k dented with a dimple;
Mother-bird in coming; baby, do you a©e?
Down by the lilac-buah, something white and
a7.ure
Saw I in the window an 1 pa sed the tree;
Well, I knew the apron and tthoulder knots of
ribbon.
All belonged to bnl*.y, looking out lor me.
Talking low and tenderly
To myself. h mothers will,
Spake I so tly, “God in Heaven
Keep my darling tree from ill,
Worluly gear and wohily honors
Ask I not for her from thee;
But from want and sin and sorrow,
K<*ep her ever pimrand free,”
• • • *
Two little waxen hands,
Folded softly and silently;
Two little eurta ned eyes “
Loookiug out no more for me;
Two little snowy cheeks
Dimple-dented nevermore;
Two little trodden shoes.
That will never t ueh the floor ;
Shoulder-ribbon softly twisted,
Aaron folded, dean and white;
Tin Be are left me—and t heee only
to ino eUiidisn presence bright, *
Thus He sent an answer to my earnest praying,
Thus He keeps my darling free from earthly
stain,
Thus He folds the pet lamp safe from earthly
, straying. %
But I ndss her sadly by the window pane,
TilDI look above it ; then, with pure vision,
Sad, J weep no longer the lilac-bush to pass,
For i se her angel, pure and white, and sinless,
AVa king with the harpers, by the Sea of Glass.
Two littl • snowy wings
Softly flutte to and fro.
Two tiny childish hands
Be ko still to me below ;
Two tender ngol eyes
Watch me ever earnestly
Through the I op-holes of the stars;
Baby’s looking out for me.
A BEAU STORY FOR 808
HANEY.
Our old friend, Bob Haney, the loqua
cious Jiob of Alabama, is very fond of
bear stories, and the one published below
is for his especial benefit:
An Ellenville (N. Y.) dispatch says:
Hunter Brown,ofDenning,l'lster county,
had tougher work on his hands than he
bargained for when he started out with
his dog and trusty rifle on Monday
morning of this week toseewhat he could
bag. The wild lands of Denning are fa
mous as a hunting ground, and many
savage animals have been brought to
bay there. Brown’s dirst game was a
young wildcat that had the life shaken
out of it by the hunter’s dog. l'roc* e ling
further into the dense underbrush, his
keen eyes discovered bear tracks in the
soft mud and snow. Further along he
noticed other and larger tracks of the
same family, and soon the fierce barking
of his dog betokened that sport was at
h j 1<1•
When Brown came up with his dog a
sorry sight met his gaze. The poor ani
mal was weltering in its own blood. A
baby cub lay moaning beside the dog,
while its mother, a huge, ugly-looking
brute, licked the cub’s Avouuds. At sight
of the hunter the mother turned angrily,
and before Brown could level his gun the
bear was fairly upon him. The hunter’s
clothing was torn from his back and his
body was covered with ugly cuts and
scratches. In the struggle the hunter’s
gun went off accidentally, Avounding
slightly both hunter and bear. The lat
ter was goaded to fury by the pain of the
wound, and she renewed her attack on
the now comparatively helpless man. It
would have gone hard Avith the hunter
had not the dog staggered to its feet and
renewed its attacks on the cub, and then
with a vicious growl, the mother bear
started to the rescue other offspring. Af
ter killing the dog she again attacked
the hunter, but he was ready for her
with his hunting knife, which he plunged
with skilled aim in a vital spot, and the
bear rolled over dead.
The wounded cub ond two other small
bears were captured alive. These Brown
tied together and started for Clar.vville
Sullivan county, which was near by. On
reaching that place with his prizes, he
•was scarcely able *to speak. He pre
sented a queer spectacle, with his cloth
ing torn 1 in shreds and body covered
with bleeding wounds. The young bears
were led by a rope, and altogether the
hunter looked like a veritable showman
who had been through the wars.
“Lives of great men always remind us
that wo are all subject to die,” says an
exchange, but never cough yourself
away as long as you can raise twenty
five cents for a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup.
A Prospective New Southern Industry.
The common papaw bark has a fibre
that is equal to the best hemp or flax,
somewhat superior in strength. A grove
can be started without any culture 1 out
side of preparing the land to plant the
seed. After a growth of two years young
shoots can be cut and placed in pure wa
ter, and let then? remain for two months,
then taken out and stripped of the bark,
which.can be done readily ; the fibre will
be pure white color while the outer bark
will be the color of hemp and very strong.
It has been used for years for harne
strings and other purposes. The smallest
thread can be used with needle as com
mon cotton thread, and will last equally
as long. After cutting the shoots they
will sprout out from the stumps and be
ready for next year's crop. Another ad
vantage, the tree will grow on both bot
tom and upland. The writer has a grove
growing on common upland, that was
planted from the seed. Now that ma
chinery has been invented for decorticat
ing ramie and jute, we can't see why it
would not answer the same purpose for

THE NEGRO’S REFORM.
What Hon. C. H. J. Taylifr Wants the No
£i*o to do.
,*■ . —-
Hon. C. H. T. Taylor, U. S. minister to
Siberia, has returned to this government.
He proposes to resign his position and
devote his time and talents to the inter
ests of his race in this country. On l>eing
inter vieAved on this subject, when asked
“to what special reform will you, as a
colored man, devote yourself '■* he re
plied:
“I beg ypur pardon,” he replied, “1 am
not a colored man. lam a negro. I ob
ject to the term colored man. It is apol
ogetic in the first place and incorrect in
the second. It implies that Ave are
ashamed of our name. We are not. It
is true that the negroes always call an
other a “nigger” as a term of contempt.
Those who do so are the uneducated,
and they must be taught better. There
is nothing contemptuous in the name
negro. If we can make our way in the
world, educate ourselves and acquire
wealth, we will be just as much resjiected
when called negroes as if we were called
by any other name. It is we and not
our name who make ourselves respected
or despised. Besides negro is our nation
al name —I do not care whether you spell
it with a big or little n—just as Irish is
the name of the people who come from
Ireland.
NEGIIO, NOT COLORED MAN*.
“It is incorrect for two reasons. Black
is not a color, and therefore the black
man cannot be a colored man. When
you say colored man, it seems as if you
implied that some one had come around
with a paint pot and brush and colored
ns. It is not so. We were born black.
No, 1 detest the term colored man. I
want the national name. But as to the
future of the negroes. My aim and ob
ject in seeking to make myself distin
guished is to reach a position to make
them listen to me. lam only 31 years
old, the youngest man in the diplomatic
service, and my people will not pay any
attention to a man, particularly a
young man, unless he is known and to a
certain extent distinguished. They want
a negro to be backed by the white people
before they will hear him. I have placed
myself in that position, and now I haA*e
resigned to go back among them, and
help them to rise. The doctrines that I
will teach them, is to abominate misce
genation and absorption into the white
race, and to cease to look to the white
race for constant aid, and to give up
this nonsensical idea of social equality.
If a white man and negro were to sit
down to the table to eat dinner together,
the|appetites wouldn’t be sharpened by the
company of the other, and if a negro boy
is dull and stupid he will not learn a par
ticle more it he sits next to a bright,
shrewd white boy in school. I heartily
despise a negro man, who, having risen
above his race, marries a white woman,
or a negro woman who, if she obtains
money and an education, marries a white
man; for, in the first place, the white peo
ple that they will marry are the lowest*
of their race, of the tramp order; and in
the second, the negroes have deserted
their people and their sphere, and turned
against their people instead of using
their advantages for the benefit of their
race.
THE SOCIAL EQUALITY QUESTION.
“lie can never accomplish anything
while he is thinking of trying to get into
white society. He must learn to make
a society of his own, and he must consid
er that society the best that there is. He
must have pride in his own people ami
his own society. Even if he could get
into white society, it would be a bad
thing for him, for the best society for
him is the black society. The Spaniards
must succeed as Spaniards, the Germans
as Germans, the Americans as Americans
and the negroes as negroes. The Ger
mans could never have accomplished a
thiiig if they, as a race, were trying to
become Americans. They must remain
Germans and look upon the Germans as
the best people in the world or they can
not progress, and so must the negro. I
want the negroes to cut loose from the
whites and depend upon themselves for a
living instead of looking ,to the whites
for support. I want them to buy their
own farms, build their own homes,
school houses and churches, run their
own hotels, have some insurance compa.
nies of their own, do their own business,
be honest and haver confidence in each
other. They must educate themselves,
and they will learn to make and save
money, and alter awhile they may have
their own railroads and banks. Polit
ically, I want to divide the vote, and 1
have come here to do it. 1 want them to
think for themselves in politics, and not
think by proxy. They have let the Re
publican party think for them, but 1
want them to stop that and do their
ovyn thinkiug. Then they will learn that
the Democratic party is their friend and
that they have only been used as a club
by the Republicans to beat the Democrats
with.”
v
“That Miss .Tones is a nice-looking
girl, isn’t she?"
“Yes, and she’d be the belle of the
town if it wasn’t tor one thiug."
“What’s that?” *
“She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas
ant to be near her. She has tried a
dozen things and nothing helps her. I
am sorry, for I like her, but that doesn't
make it any less disagreeable for one to
be around her.”
Now if she had used Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, there would have been nothing
of the kind said, for it will cure catarrh
every time.
THE WASTE AND FINAN
CIAL PANICS.
Loulaville Fourier-Journal ]
The loss bv fire in 1887 is the greatest
since the conflagration in Boston, reach
ing nearly $130,000,000.
The destruction of Avealth is the # chief
cause of financial disturbances and in
dustrial distress. IN hen a nation is pro
ducing more than it consumes, when it is
adding year by year to its accumula
tions, any financial difficulty is of tempo
rary concern.
A nation is like an individual. When a
man of business is making money he has
little to fear from temporary embarrass
ments. If he has extended his transac
tions too far he has only to stand still
and wait for the rising of capital to take
his craft over the b^rs.
But when he discovers that his income
has not met his expenses, when, to make
good his losses, he has to encroach on
his capital, he should realize that a
change of policy is imperative.
An examination of the history of pan
ics will show this to be the case. Nations
in distress may postpone the day o
judgment by many devices, such as papei*
money, extravagant appropriations and
other false pretenses, but if war, or fam
ine, or fire, or pestilence, or flood have
separately or together wasted the sulr
stance of the people, these very “meas
ures of relief ’ hasten the catastrophe.
To the natural agencies of destruction
named, we may add unwise investment
of capital. Capital is unwisely invested
in tAVO ways. It is invested in certain en
terprises Avhich, good in themselves, are
extended beyond the need of the people.
In other Avords, the changing of floating
to fixed capital, which does not yield
prompt returns, acts for the time in the
same manner as fire or flood.
Another Avaste is the investment of
capital in enterprises that do not pay.
It is not enough that, by unwise laws,
the investor recoups himself by exacting
more from the consumer than his prod
uct is worth; the loss is not made good,
it is simply transferred.
Keeping these facts in mind, we see the
significance attached to the statement
that the fire loss in 1887 was $130,000,-
000. That much property has been de
stroyed.
Insurance does not repair this loss; it
merely distributes it. The individual is
relieved from a portion of the burden, but
the community bears it all, and in addi
tion it has to pay the expenses of distri
bution, Avhich increases the cost of fire to
about $175,000,000.
kSufficient attention has never been
given to this subject. The vast growth
of our insurance companies creates a
false sense of security. Our people be
come year by year more careless and less
tolerant of methods designed to restrict
the operations of incendiaries by profes
sion and incendiaries under temptation.
Our commercial bodies, our schools and
churches, our legislative assemblies,
should give thoughtful and painstaking
consideration to the prevention of fire
waste.
The resources of this country are stu
pendous; they are the wonder of the
world. Unfortunately they create the be
lief that we are raised above the opera
tion of economic laws. Not at all. We
make good our losses year by year; still
they are losses. The past year has been
prosperous, but there are not wanting
signals of approaching trouble. The ex
tended drouth, the immense fire loss, the
vast extension of our railroad system,
the extraordinary sums invested in build
iirg new cities and reconstructing the old,
the labor disturbances, all added to our
tariff extortions, show that our indus
trial system must endure a strain during
the next few years that only the most
tremendous natural resources, the ut
most diligence and economy and the
wisest legislation can enable us to with
stand.
The Courier-Journal is no alarmist. It
points to these signs of evil now in order
to avert it. There are other evidences of
sfrength. Among them the extension of
iron furnaces and cotton mills from un
profitable to profitable fields; an improv
ed agriculture; economical devices in all
practical enterprises; the steady im
provement in machinery; the fact that a
large portion of the new railroads is due
to the extension of profitable lines', and
the further fact that lines built through
new territory three or four years ago are
now “coming into bearing,” so to speak.
The failure of the Fidelity Rank of
Cincinnati was, in itself, far more impor
tant than the failures which precipitated
the panics of '37, T>7 and'73. The dis
asters following it were insignificant, in
dicating a strong and healthful financial
constitution. But this strength and
health is undermined by the annual fire
waste, by extravagance in government,
by excessive and unnecessary taxation,
and by the encouragement afforded by
our laws' for the unprofitable investment
of capital.

Buying: His Time.
From the Youth's Companion.
“The man who wishes to see me is the
man I wish to see/’ said a minister, de
fending his practice of admitting callers,
even when they interrupted his studies.
Horace Greeley, who was the busiest of
editors, preferred not to see nineteen of
every twenty men and women who wished
to see him.
It annoyed him to be interrupted while
writing articles for the Tribune, and
his irritation expressed itself in the form
of hard words hurled at those who en
roached up*>n his valuable time. But he
lacked the firmness to pull in the latch
string of his ‘‘sanctum.” All sorts of
people opened his door—people with new
machines, new charities and new wants,
seeking aid from the benevolent editor.
Once the seedy borrower thrust himself
before the editor as Mr. Greely was writ
ing a Tribune editorial, and asked for a
loan of money.
“There, take it,” exclaimed the busy
editor, puttiug his pocket-book in the
man’s hands, “but for heaven’s sake,
don’t interrupt my writing!”
On. another day a wojnan, who said she
was a widow, called when Mr. Greeley
was absorbed in his work. Telling her
he was too busy even to listen, he kept
on writing. But she had a scheme for a
mission, and persisted in unfolding it to
him.
Again and again he growled out that
he was not listening, but she would not
be shaken off. He kept on writing, she
kept on talking. At last, lie jumped up,
rushed to the speaking-tube that led to
the counting room, and shouted, “Send
me up $5!”
The money came up with arush through
the dumb waiter. Thrusting the bank
note into her hand, he opened the door
and motioned her out, and then resumed
his seat, smiling at having conquered her.
He had, and so had she conquered him,
though b© did not realize it.
Many of Mr. Greeley’s intruders knew
that he would purchase freedom from in
terruption by a donation.

A Deceived Woman
is the lady who uses cosmetics, face
lotions, white lead, bismuth powders,
arsenic etc., in the belief of enriching and
beautifying the complexion. It is but
temporary, a"hd ultimately destroys the
skin beyond the power of nature to
restore. Stop it! Stop it now, and use
only Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic, which im
parts the vigor and loveliness of youth.
Mr. W. L. Glessner, an energetic and
liberal Ohioan, who moved to Americas,
Ga., and has been running the Recorder,
thinks that Georgia farmers have every
natural advantage over Ohio farmers,
and wants them to make use of their ad
vantages. Mr. Glessner wants more at
tention paid to grasses, which, he says
mean cattle, sheei>, hogs, the reclama
tion of old lands, diversified farming,
dairies, creameries and cheese factories.
He is not far from right. For example,
take Putnam county, in this State. Ber
muda bottoms are being utilized there,
good stock is being raised, and for the
year ending in October last, 33,000 to
35,000 pounds of delicious Jersey butter
were shipped out of the countyf some go
ing as far as New York, and the prices
ranging from 30c to 40c. The dairymen
there are making money, and farming
with them promises to become simply an
adjunct to the dairy business.

Last year, 1887, Colonel Smith, of
Oglethorpe, made 1,000 bales of cotton,
which brought him upward of sl*o,ooo.
Beside# this he has *old about $16,000
worth of cotton seed oil and between
$25,000 and $30,000 worth of fertilizers.
He raised enough grain to supply his im
mense farm and slaughtered seven hun
dred head of hogs. Besides the income
Col. Smith’s rents from his lands will be
in the neighborhood of $20,000. He has
now applied for a charter and intends
building a railroad of his own from Pleas
ant Hill, the name of his farm, to tap the
Georgia railroad about a mile below
Winterville. He has made arrangements
for his iron and rolling stock, and early
next year will put his convicts to work
grading the road. Col. Smith started
in life after the war with less than S3OO,
and parties who are acquainted with his
affairs say that he is today worth not
less than $250,000.
What “Peculiar” Means.
Applied to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the
word Peculiar is of great importance.
It means that Hood's Sarsaparilla is.
different from other preparations in
main vital points, which make it a
thoroughly honest and reliable medicine.
It is Peculiar, in a strictly medicinal
sense, first, jin the combination of re
medial agents used; second, in the pro
portion in which they are prepared;
third, in the process by which the active
curative properties of the medihine are
secured. Study these points well. They
mean volumes. They make Hood's Sar
saparilla Peculiar in its curative powers,
as it accomplishes wonderful cures hith
erto unknown, and which give to Hood’s
Sarsaparilla a clear right to the title of
“The greatest blood purifier ever dis
covered." jan 13-lm
