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.

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 ing 1882 si ovvs that 478,000 deposits were paid in, making a total sum of 04,- 034,000 francs.

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. Brown’s Iron Bitters are ture to give satisfac tion.
