THE STEPHENS MEMORIAL.
Tlie Exercises in tlie Georgia House of
Representatives on the Death of
the Great Commoner.
Saturday, the 3 4th, was set apart by
the Georgia legislature for the memorial
exercises in honor of Alexander 11. Ste
| pin ns, and no regular business whatever
was transacted on that da}'. Memorial
j speeches were made in the house by
! Messrs. Harris, Brooks, Jones, Watson
and McCurry; and in tlie senate by
Messrs. Hoyt, Lamar and T. R. Jones,
senator frrtm Dalton district. We give the
speech of the latter gentleman, which is
as follows: *
“That man was born to universal em
pire, tlie subject of these exercises be
came acquainted at an early day. While
hardly ponderous enough, physically, to
rutile with a tread the sand upon the wa
ter’s shore, yet he was mighty enough in
the great world of the mind to leave ever
lasting traces of bis genius upon every
page of our country’s history for the last
half century. lie came forth a giant in
intellect, from the loins of our own com
monwealth, without family prestige, or
the shouting of heralds, and from the
walks of ordinary respectability, whence
arc selected nearly all the instruments
with which to confound the mighty, lie
realized early in life that it was worth
living a lite well, to feel and know in the
midst that at the end the antagonisms
and bitternesses engendeied by it are like
vapors that vanish away, while the good
liveth on to cheer the pilgrim that fol
loweth after.
Alxexander 11. Stephens had antago
nists to the day of his death, but they 7
to-day move with us, with uncovered
heads, ‘bearing their sandals.’
The claims of official distinction do not
a'.one call tor this tribute, for he was as
great without official rank as with it, and
being governor of Georgia did not add
‘one cubit to his statue.’
He borrowed no strength nor honors
from official place, but by his indomita
ble will-power and assiduous labors dur
ing years of physical weakness and suf
fering, he wrought out a power and
achieved a distinction that were his own,
and in the just judgment of men, when
called to official station, the place received
more from him than it gave in return.
His attention to every duty reminded
one of the Japanese fable: ‘When the
night moth sends those moths enamored
of her to bring her fire till they fall vic
tims to the flames.’
11 is life was devoted to his country,
and in its service he had long since pass
ed the red of the morning aud enjoyed
the reclining shades of the evening so
late as for the night to gather him unto
its folds.
What ceaseless activity had marked
every hour of that life, and he had been
spared to us until his death did not come
upon us like a tropical sunset, instanta
neous, involving us in darkness, but nev
ertheless cast upon us a deluge of grief
amt regret.
lie was a man of large heart and ex
pan-ive culture in all the wide domain of
the'arts and sciences.
Asa citizen, as a legislator both state
and national, jurist, historian, chiet mag
istrate of our state, and Christian gentle
man, he was equal perhaps to the great
est and best, in any single role named,
but in all, as a whole, he was without a
peer.
True greatness like his fatigues and
ha tiles effort at analysis. The strength
and beauty of the parts are lost in the
oneness, the completeness of the whole.
You could say of Napoleon that he was
a great captain, the brilliancy of the man
for war was in such striking contrast to
the blackness of his social and domestic
nature. But greatness in its true accepta
tion presents but few or no such contrasts
as these—the man is rounded symmetri
cally.
Sueli eminence of life and character
Air. Stephens had attained, and it was
his chief delight to reach down from such
heights and assist others, and with him
the lowlier tlie readier he was. More
men had a personal interest in him, I
dare say, than any other citizen of our
state. %
To say of Air. Stephens that he had no
ambition for place, no desire for public
preferment, would be to say of him what
eun he said of but few who fill these
places; but this much can be said—he
rested his claims upon an open and bold
advocacy of truth; the triumph and su
premacy of political principles and the
maintenance of those inherent rights of
the citizen that are above and beyond
written constitutions, and never did his
people reject him for another by tlie pop
ular vole.
There is a true line between the politi
cian and the statesman, and on the latter
side Air. Stephens belonged.
lie understood things iu their founda
tions and saw into their bearings upon
the future. Alany of you heard him dur
ing that historic contest of 1860. You
may take that speech you heard then, and
place beside it the history of the five years
following, and yon can change leaf for
for leaf without doing violence to truth.
lie was a prophet among men, a .nan
of convictions and purpose.
His convictions might be wrong, but
his purposes never wholly selfish.
But he has gone from us, and we testify
of him to-day to those who shall follow
after us in the solemn service of this
hour.
What can add to the tribute of the
man, or the eloquence of his life and
character, since his life-long compatriots
have already wet this page ot Georgia’s
history with the tear of poignant grief?
Buried in our soil, away from the proud
gaze of the multitude, decade upon de
cade will have passed away before an
other will be fashioned like unto him.”
The following is the memorial of the
governor, adopted by both houses:
“The Great Reaper has been in our
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 26. 1883.
: midst. His resistless onslaught respects
neither age nor sex, good nor bad, rich
j nor poor, high nor low. Neither hovel
nor palace, place, position nor power are
beyond the reach of his remorseless grasp,
lie had just cut down one matchless ge
nius, Benjamin Harvey Hill, and now he
has laid his icy hand upon one upon
whom Georgia had so recently placed her
highest civic crown. Alexander Hamil
ton Stephens, our great governor, will
come and go out before us no more for
ever. His earthly pilgrimage is ended,
and he has gone
‘To joiu the innumerable caravan which waves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.’
In preparing a tribute to his memory
we are at a loss where to begin and where
lo end. Ilis career was so remarkable,
his public services so Yvonderful and
many sided, that we can only refer to
them. But his life is such an open book
that only this is necessary.
Born, reared and educated on the soil of
Georgia, he entered public life in 1836 as
a member of the legislature, and from
that time to the end of his life, a period
of nearly half a century, he was almost
without interruption in the service of the
state and country.
Whether as a member of the legisla
ture a member of the congress of the
United States, or of the confederate states,
a member of numerous conventions, or
in the exalted position of vice-president
of the southern confederacy, he display
ed abilities which placed him in the front
rank of statesmen and made him the
acknowledged peer of any of that splen
did galaxy of great southern statesmen
whose towering intellects and matchless
powers controlled the political affairs of
the union in the golden time before tlie
war.
The distinguished characteristics of
Mr. Stephens as a statesman were his love
of liberty and ids hatred of oppression.
While he had the piost tender compas
sion for the infirmities of our common
humanity he loved'justice ardently and
hated iniquity, oppression and wrong,
and denounced the oppressor with hon
est indignation. Mr. Stephens possessed
more versatility of talent than any other
statesman of our day, Few men achieve
in more than one line of intellectual pur
suits, but he was an exception to the
general rule. lie was not only a great
lawyer, orator and statesman, but he
reached a very high eminence as a writer
and historian. Ilis mind was wonderful
ly equipped for mental work.
The integrity of Mr. Stephens was in
corruptible and unapproachable.—Fuss
ing during his long political career
through many periods of corruption in
high places his record is without stain.
It lias been said of William Pitt, the
younger, one of the great commoners of
England, that the best eulogy that could
be pronounced upon him was that ‘he
lived and died a poor may.’ We are
proud to say as much of our great com
moner. Like Pitt, too, Air. Stephens
never married. Ilis country was wife
and children to him, and with oriental
devotion he worshipped at her shrine.
But, after all, the peculiar feature of
Mr. Stephens’ character, and which will
endear him to his people forever, was his
boundless benevolence and charity.
When we consider that his mortal frame
was so wasted, worn and withered by
disease that for about half of his life he
lived an almost living death, it would
seem incredible that he should do so much
for others who can testify to his good
deeds. His ear was ever open to hear
and his heart to feel for and his hand to
relieve the wail of widows love and the
bitter tear of orphanage. Ilis very
heart-strings seemed to have been bound
around every species of humanity.
Especially was he generous to young
men thirsting for an education and strug
gling with poverty. He seems to have
bad before him all the time the example
of the grand central figure and exemplar
of all time, the divine Nazarene, who
went about doing good.
But the end has come. He is gone,
as we believe, to a country where his spir
it, freed from the muddy vesture of de
cay, can, amid the unimaginable splendor
of an eternal light, reap the reward of
good deeds forever.
Ours is the precious legacy of the life
of so good and so great a man, who gave
his life and his life’s work and his latest
prayer for us and our children.
Patriot, philanthropist, benefactor,
historian and orator, fare thee well!—
Georgia, thy good old mother who gave
thee birth, mournfully receives thy dust
back again into her sad bosom. She will
guard well the sacred spot where all that
is mortal of thee reposes, for np son of
her’s ever shed such lustre on her
name.”
Resolved. That in the death of Alex
ander Hamilton Stephens, the late gov
ernor of this state, we recognize the loss
of one of the truest, best and wisest sons
of Georgia, whose genius lias added un
dying glory to her name, and for whom
our people cherish an unbounded love
and devotion.
Resolved. That in his death the whole
country has lost one of its most useful
and brilliant statesman, and humanity an
exemplar of benevolence and charity
worthy of imitation, whose name will go
down to posterity with ever increasing
lustre as the ages pass away.
resolved. # That the indomitable will
of this great and good man in conquering
adverse fortune over every obstacle ot
poverty and ill health, ae,l devoting his
life with its brilliant success for the good
of others and the welfare of the country
stands out as one of the rate instances ol
the kind in history, aud should be trea
sured as an example and held up for imi
ta'lon by the sons and daughters of the
country for all future time.
Resolved. That a page of the journal
be set aside in which shall be inserted the
date of his birth and date of death.
A QUEEN OF THE STAGE.
“Her Secoml Love.” and ilie important
Secret She Reveals for the
Benefit of Women.
(.Wa> Yoslt World.
Several years ago the American public
were aroused by the entree upon the
stage of a little lady who had been pre
viously hut little announced. She was
one of an innumerable number of aspir
ants lor public favor and had no instru
mentality,* aside from her own talents to
cause recognition. In spite of this fact,
however, she quickly achieY'ed a warm
place in the heart of the public which
she lias continued to hold ever since.
IN hen it was announced, therefore, that
Aliss Alaude f?ri|hger would star the com
ing season in the play “Her Second
Love,” written by Air. John A. Stevens,
it was only natural that unusual interest
should be manifested not only in theatri
cal circles, but in other branches of the
community. This was specially the
case, as it was known that Miss Granger
had, for the past year, been in exceed
ingly delicate health, and the determina
tion to star in a s rong emotional play was
the more surprising. One of the staff of
this paper was accordingly deputized to
seethe popular lady and Y'erify the rfi
mor or anuouce its incorrectness.
Aliss Granger’s countenance is familiar
to nearly every one in the United States.
It is a face once seen never to be forgot
ten. Features remarkable in their out
line and contour are surmounted by a
pair of large and deep eyes indicative of
the greatest soul power. It is easy to see
where Aliss Granger obtains the ability
to portray characters of tlie most emo
tional nature. She possesses within her
self the elements of feeling without which
no emotion can be conveyed to an audi
ence. The man of news found the lady
at her home in this city aud was accord
ed a quiet welcome. It was evident at
once that she was in greatly improved
health, which the expression and color of
her countenance both indicated.
“Is is truej Miss Granger that you
contemplate a starring tour the coming
season ?”
“Yes, indeed. Aly season begins in
Chicago on the 16th of July. From
there Igo to San Francisco and then
play the remainder of the season through
the eastern and western states.”
“Are you confident your health will
permit such an undertaking?”
A ringing laugh was the first reply to
this question, after which she said:
“Certainly. It is true I have been ill
for the past two years, but now I am
wholly recovered. Few people can have
any idea of the strain a conscientious
actress undergoes iu essaying an emo
tional part. It is necessary to put one’s
whole soul into the work in order to
rightly portray the character. This ne
cessitates an utter abandonment of on’s
personality and’ an assumption of the
character portrayed. If this is an emo
tional part it is necessary to feel the same
emotions the part is supposed to feel.
For more than a year I actually cried
each night in certain passages of a part I
was playing. The audience considered
it art. Probably it was, hut those were
none the less real tears and tlie effect was
none the less trying upon my health.”
“But do you anticipate avoiding this in
the future ?”
“Not in the least. I expect to have
just as great a strain as before but with
restored health and a knowledge of how
to retain it I do not fear.”
“You speak of a ‘knowledge of how to
retain health’. Will you please explain
what you mean by that?”
“You must be aware that women by
their very natures are subject to troubles
and afflictions unknown to the sterner
sex. The name of these troubles is le
gion, but in whatever form they may
come thej' are weaknesses which inter
fere with eyery ambition and hope in life.
I believe thousands of noble women are
to-day suffering agonies of which even
their best friends and relatives know
little or nothing, aud when I reflect
upon it I confess it makes me sad. Now
ail this misery arises largely from an
ignorance of the laws of life or a neglect
to carefully observe them. I speak from
the depths of a bitter experience in say
ing this, and lam thankful I know the
means of restoration, and how to)remain
in perfect health.”
“Please explain more fully.”
“Well, l have found a remedy which
seems specially adapted for this very
purpose. It is pure and palatable and
controls the health and life as, l believe,
nothing else will. It is really invaluable
and if all the women in America Yvere to
use it I am quite sure most of the suffer
ing and many deaths might be avoided.”
“What is this wonderful remedy?”
“Warner’s Safe Cure.”
“And you use it?”
“Constantly.”
“And hence believe you will be able
to go throught the coming season success
fully?”
“I am quite certain of it.”
“A few questions more, Miss Granger.
Will you please give me a list of the parts
you have created and the plays you have
taken part in since your rttst appearance
in public?”
“I first played for some time with the
amateurs in New York and Brooklyn.
I then went to the Union Square theatre
for two seasons, after that to the Boston
Globe for one season and then to Booth’s
theatre in this city. Next I supported
John McCullough and afterwards starred
in Juliet, Camille Rosalind, ect. Sub
sequently I created the part, of Cicely
Blaine in the Galley Slave and also star
red in Two Nights im Rome, playing the
part of Antonia. The past year 1 have
been playing in the the Planter’s Wife
and the coming.season, as I have said,
will be devoted to Her Second Love.”
As the writer was returning home he
fell into a train of-musing and wondered
if all the womoit in this land who are suf
fering could only know Miss Granger’s
experience and the remarkable results
achieved by the pure remedy she used,
how much suffering might be avoided and
how much happiness secured.

Dyspepsia. —lt is a well established
fact, that a multitude of human ailments
arise from indigestion, and there are
thousands to-day, suffering from a com
bination of diseases brought about by
this single cause —without knowing it.
They imagine that they have every con
ceivable disease. To all such, I would
say, the use of a few bottles of the
“Seven Springs Mass,” manufactured
by Landrum & Litchfield, Abingdon,
Va., is just what, you need. It will re
store your digestive organs to their nor
mal function, sooner than anything else
/on c&n use. W'll improve your appe
tite, and give vigor and energy to your
whole being. Price: $1 per bottle, or 6
or $5, post paid.
Bill Arp never wrote a wiser sentence
than this: “Close observers say there is
a good streak in every man, and I think
there is, but I know some who have
managed to hide it for years, and they
are hiding it yet, I reckon we will hear
of it on their tombstones.”
The report on the working of the new
post office savings banks in France dur

were paid in, making a total sum of 04,-
034,000 francs. The withdrawals
amounted to 17,811,000 francs, so that
there was an overplus for the year of 46,-
823,000 francs left deposited. The de
posits average 137 francs each, the with
drawals 312 francs.

NUMBER 2.
VICTORIA UNBALANCED.
A Woman Who Would be Crazy If She
Were not a Queen.
London, duly 18.—The statement
long expressed in hypocritical sighs, up
lifted, mournful eyes, suppressed inter
jections, whispered with bated breath,
veiled in metaphor or clad in wary dis
guise, is now coldly, calmly, openly,
dispassionately discussed by partisans as
well as foes, hy flatterers and scoffers.
The mind of the queen, not her body, is
affected. Her eccentricities have taken
unto themselves a name which is only
a synonym for Insanity. The lurking
taint in the Hanoverian blood bursting
out afresh in some wild freak, seems to
have unmistakably overtaken the queen.
The more or less harmless manias in
which, during a long reign. Queen
Victoria has allowed herself to indulge
unchallenged—theatric fancies, sudden
caprices, unreasoning dislikes, uncon
querable obstinacy, of which so many
testimonies exist —seem to have culmi
nated at last in a serious, protracted, m-
disguisable attack of melancholy, a mon
omania of seclusion, sadness and fear,
which it is Idle now to color with any
other motive. It is not in disrespect that
one is justified in attributing this last
outburst to the death of the favorite gil
lie. To one so selfish the smallest attrac
tions in daily habits become important.
History has also registered in its pages
the authenticated fact that Queen Victo
ria gazed With favor on the face of her
servant in the fond delusion that she
could trace on his square, Scotch, broad
lineaments some resemblance to the
slightly bourbon outlines of Prince Al
bert’s features. The disruption of this
.second all but wifely communion was a
cruel shock. The consequences of it
were so alarming that the effects of a
very slight, almost illusory accident
were magnified into a serious and dan
gerous sprain, so as to account to the
public for tiie withdrawal of tiie sover
eign from all intercourse, and her abso
lute seclusion from any eves, save those
of her entourage, and her abstention
from public duties, except tiie compulso
ry and mechanical wholesale singing of
state papers. She has been conveyed
from Windsor to Osborne, thence to
Balmorrl, and back to Windsor, in pro
found and mysterious isolation. Her
movements are shrouded in impervious
seoresy. All precautions against intru
sion are strictly and jealously taken, and
the stringent necessity of a perfect
change of scene and surroundings ur
gently impressed upon the nation.
THE CURSE OF CHLORAL.
The Medical News of Philadelphia reit
erates the earnest warning recently given
in the London Lancet against the curse of
chloral. The text of the warning is the
case of tiie late artist-poet, Dante Rosset
ti, who, suffering from insomnia, sought
chloral for relief only to “experience
greater evils in a horrible nervous irrita
bility and depression of the vegetative
functions.'’ The peculiar sensitiveness
which he exhibited in his later yea.s, his
gradual withdrawal from social circles
and his entire surrender to melancholy,
were the results of chloral sleep.
The News remarks that physicians
should be careful about pi escribing chlo
ral for nervous and literary persons suf
fering from wakefulness. This is asytrq -
tom of some violated hygienic principle,
some bodily derangement, which, being
corrected, natural sleep will follow. But
if the brain is once drowned in chloral
sleep, the remedy seems so grateful that
the orgau refuses to be comforted in any
other way when wakefulness returns.
Besides the objection that it.is a bad habit
to force sleep by a narcotic, chloral in
jures the ceils of the gray matter, the
cerebuin, weakens the heart, causes
structural changes in the liver and im
pairs nutrition. The decay of the bodily
powers in these cases i9 sad, but more
sad are the physical derangements which
make the incarceration of many of these
subjects in asylums finally necessary.
Tne Medical News remarks in this con
nection :
“Especially cautious in prescribing
chloral should be American physicians
whose patients, immersed in the ceaseless
activity of life here, are peculiarly apt to
suffer from insomnia. To them an agent
which forces sleep despite the condition
inducing wakefulness, is peculiarly
grateful. In making haste to be rich all
other considerations must yield. The
time for the necessary repose cannot be
given; the modifications reauired in the
daily life for the healthful performance
of the cerebral functions are too irksome;
the relief must be given without interfer
ence with the daily methods, and, there
fore, how opportune the action of chlo
ral. It can scarcely surprise us that, un
der such circumstances, the physician,
despairing of better methods, falls in
with the use of an agent which postpones
troublesome questions to a future time.
Our asylum statistics, showing the bale
ful effects of chloral, indicate at the same
time the need of less questionable wai s
of attaking that restlessness of the mind,
insomnia and irritability, which are pre
ludes to physical derangements.”
The Beautiful Green Melon.
A beautiful thing it was, and right
green was young Mr. Green, who went
down to the cellar about midnight and
ate nearly half of it. The next day
young Mr. Green said he didn’t want
any breakfast, and he thought he would
not go to the store. He wished he hadn’t
seen that watermelon. By the prompt
administration of Perry’Davis’s Pain
Killer young Mr. Green’s internal eco
nomy was reduced to a state of peace and
comfort.
