Such was tiic admiration for this remarkable man, that his untime ly death seemed to crush out in all hearts hope for the Confederacy. The Charelston News and Couri er, which is publishing in its week ly edition most interesting sketch es of “Our Woman in War,” furnish es this illustration from the pen of one of its lady contributors, a little girl in Richmond during the war: One day I was out ou the pave ment playing, when our old Union friend, Miss Van Lew, called out “Sallie, does your mother know Stonewalljackson is dead?” Nev er will I forget the Cassandra-like dirge that ran through my childish heart, “No Jackson, no victory,” I thought, and with streaming eyes ran home and gaining mother’s lap cried out, “The Confederatin' ith lotlit! the Confederathy ith iotht!” Never for one moment afterwards did I hope for success. It seemed that God would not take such, a holy, consecrated life from a good cause; that we must have made some mistake. It calls to mind on the same line. The Confederate Confess had adjourned its session but Stone wall Jackson, after the funeral pro cession, was laid in state in the Hall of Representatives. The wri ter, by reason of his official posi tion had charge of the hall. There was a constant stream of sorrowing and weeping people to look upon the dead captain, from early noon until night. They went by sad and subdued, the woman and girls snatching a leaf from the floral tri butes as a memento of the occasion The entrance was wide enough, but the exit was narrow, so that the hall and passages were often chock ed by a surging crowd, and children were frequently separated from their parents. The day was as in tensely warm and many were prostrated by the heat. The body had been laid upon a narrow table of height so unusual that girls and boys of twelve years of age could not get a view of the features of the dead warrior, and ray arms have not for gotten the strain put upon them by lifting many hundreds of the little ones to look into the coffin. Late in the afternoon a heart breaking wail arose from a little girl in a distant part of the hall.— Supposing that she had been part ed from her protector, I went to her and attempted to soothe her distress by promising that she sliouid be cared for and taken safely home.— Stifling her sobs for a moment, she exclaimed, “Oh, sir, I am not cry- about that—I am so sorry that rstonewali Jackson’s dead!” From the Augusta Chronicle. A Cowardly Respect of Persons. Not long ago, we understand, a poor man in Georgia, generally' hard working and industrious, and the sole support of a family, to whom, as a rule, he behaved in an exemplary manner, became intoxi cated; and, while disguised in liqu or, forged an order for $1.50. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary for a term of years. He had no money to pay smart lawyers and no influence to create public'or jury opinion in liis favor. During his incarceration— he is still in durance vile—his heart broken wife died and serious trou ble came upon his family. We do not pretend to so say that he was guiltless, and that he should not have been punished; but what a contrast can he drawn between his fate and that of numerous brilliant, powerful trusted nabobs who have recently startled the world with their perfidity, knavery, double dealing, fraud and hypocrisy, not to say sober and debliberate theft.— Men who have had control of banks and proved faithless to their trusts. They have had the management of mil lions of other people’s money, and they have misappropriated and stolen it. And yet who talks of put ting any of these colossal and most dangerous criminals on the chain- gang or in the penitentiary? Oh no! The law, like the big police man of the pantomime, swoops down on the small culprit and) wreaks full vengeance upon him while the gigantic offenders escape entirely and often with more mon ey than they can honestly account for. What a mockery of justice! What a.sin crying to God for judg ment, if man he deaf! Monkeys as Cotton Pickers. The project of using monkeys for cotton picking has long been dis cussed, and last year Mr. Huger who is a wealthy • planter, living near Georgetown, S. C. tried the ex periment. He imported ten Chim panzees, which were young hut well tamed. Each was furnished with a sack, tied to their necks and sent to the field with the negroes.— A monkey will always imitate a man; and afterja little practice each one would take a cotton row and pick the cotton faster than darkies. As soon as one would get his sack full lie would throw up his tail and scamper hack to the cart to empty it and run back to work at full speed. But the trouble was they would pick bolls and when they raced with each other, would actually fill the sack with earth. When left to themselves they would go to play ing, but on anybody appearing would go to work instantly. They proved impracticable, but it is evi dent that with proper training they could he utilized. Prison labor, from its cheapness, has a strong specultaive attraction for some of the capitalists of the country. Among the most exten sive contractors for prison labor are Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia.— Thep are both eminent protection ists, and speak eloquently of the necessity of maintaining the dignity of American labor.—Augus ta News. There have been some queer re sults of the James’ bank failure.— One gentleman it is said was engag ed to he married and had the time appointed. His funds were in James’hank. He went to draw out his money for his expenses and found the bank broken and he left with sixty cents in his pocket. He was compelled to telegraph to his fiance that he should be compell ed to ask a postponement, as he was broken and had no money to even pay his expenses, Unspoil d by Honors. It is a sad sight to see a man so puffed up by wealth or position that lie forgets that his father was a cob bler, and cannot remember the fac es of his old neighbors; and it is pleasant to meet those who, how ever honored and exalted, retain, the frankness and friendship of youth, and remember auld lang syne. A writer tells the following story of one of the leaders of Washington society who did not forget an old neighbor. At one of the receptions of Mrs. Senator Gwinn, an old country man was shown into her parlor. He was a constituent, and was dazed by the lights, the crowd, and the elegance about him. He stood hel pless and awkward fumbling with his hat and red bandana. Mrs. Gwinn stepped forward, held out both hands, and in her fresh, clear voice cried, after the old Kentucky style: Why, Daddy, how do you do, and when did you come ? Lord, child, answered Daddy, liow’d you know me? I aint seen you sence you were a little thing. No, Daddy, she answered, the last time you saw me I was up to my elbows in soap-suds, washing my dress to go to a picnic on your farm. And she made much of the old man, introducing him as an old friend of mine, and making his visit oue of the events of his life, a thing to be talked about with his mem ories of Henry Clay and the Mexi can war. “What kind of a dog is that?” asked the major of a colonel as he saw a lean, hungry looking canine poking his head and neck through the front gate. “That’s a watch dog,” he observed proudly. “Is’ he a good watch dog?” “Well, I guess so. It takes u y wife and myself over half our time to watch him for fear he’ll eat up everything in the house.” The Bermuda grass lots about Greenesboro have been mowed.— This grass yields two or three crops every year, and in some instances the quantity is really incredible. As much as 14,000 pounds of cured hay have been saved from an acre of river bottom land at a single cut ting.—Herald.

Occasionlly Mr. Bayard is men tioned in connection with the Democratic Presidental nomina tion. His name, however, awakens very little enthusiasm. Nobody questions his ability,integrity, feal ty to his party, or his fitness. In deed, nobody doubts that he would make an admirable candidate in every respect. The only objection to him that is heard is that he is a citizen of a State whose electoral vote does not count for much. Is that objection entitled to much weight ? In 1880 the Democratic candidate was taken from a State that was not expected to give him its electoral vote. If the argu ment that a candidate ought to be taken from a doubtful State that has a large electorial vote is worth anything it had no weight in 188!). Mr. Bayard is certain to carry his State, and that is more than Gen. Hancock was expected to do. Ever since Mr. Bayard has been spoken of as a Presidential candidate it has been urged against him that his State was certain to go Demo cratic, whoever might be nomina ted, and therefore there was very little to be gained by nominating him. But isn’t Mr. Bayard as strong in all of the doubtful States as any man that could be named. The people do not care so much about the place of a residence of a candidate as they do about the candidate himself and the princi ples he represents. It is probable that Mr. Bayard would get just as as large a vote in New York as Tilden, Flower, on Cleve land, or as large as McDonald in Indiana. What the people want is a statesman and a pure man for a candidate. In every State Mr. Bayard is spoken of in terms of respect and admiration. If he were the candidate the Democratic party would be able to make an almost purely aggressive campaign. There would be no time wasted in defen ding his record or in answering- slanders. lie is in harmony with his party on the tariff question, and is a firm believer in civil service and administrative reform. lie meets the requirements of the party more nearly than anyone whose name is now among the list of candidates, and yet his chances at present of getting the nomina tion are hardly worth considering. Giggling. Joseph Parker of London says in his paper: “Giggling in church is a constant nuisance and I hope that if the following paragraph should meet the eye of any guilty parties, it will do them good, that ! they may see how ridiculous they | appear to others. While the giggler i is a pest, I do not know that the whisperer is much or any better. It is astonishing how some people can chatter through an entire serv ice. However, here is the paragraph which Lclip from an American pa per:‘Giggling is described in the dictionary as the act of, laughing with short catches - of breath,’ as laughing idly, tittering grinning. It is silly and childish enough any where, but in church it is abomin able, and yet there is no place where giggling is more common It is natural in school girls, but when met in young women of nineteen or twenty, it is unpardonable. It is frequently a characteristic of young men with incipient mous taches, who think they qualify them selves for manhood by contempt for what their elders revere. They giggle at anything. If they catch the eye of an acquaintance, they giggle; if a woman rises too soon for a hymn, they giggle; if a baby cries, they giggle; if some one drops a book they giggle; if the clergyman coughs, they giggle; if some one near them sings out or repeats the responses louder, they giggle; if the choir makes a mis take they giggle In face nothing is too smaller insigufieant to ar rest their notice and produce a giggle.” A Washington special says that a man who saw Gen. Grant last week declares he is utterly broken down by the disclosures which have followed the failure of the firm in which he was interested and that tho shock has shortened his life ten years, He talks freely about it to his personal friends, but keeps himself secluded, and fears he has lost the respect aud confi dence of the country. The General admits thht some of his friends came to him months ago and warn ed him that Ward was an adven turer, and was using his name in an improper way, but his confi dence in the young man was so great tnat he. repulsed them, and thinks he may have treated some of them coolly. He is said to be so sensitive about the matter he does not read the newspapers and knows but little of the magnitude of the failure or the extent of Ward’s fraud New York World: The Wall Street panic was a panic of dishon or and degredation. The crops are good. Bread cheap,money blenty.— Though business is not brisk, owing to folly in legislation and adminis tration business peoqle have gener ally been prudent and not in debt. But the values of speculative se curities have enormously declined. What values? Values put upon them by fraud and trickery; by ly ing and cheating; by stock water ing and corrupt combinations and bargains; by the efforts of watered millionaires to give an unnatural bouyaucy to the market; by stock- jobbing and all sorts of dishonest devices. This was the cause of last week’s panic. It grew partially out of the demoralized condition of the nation, which will not be reformed until we have a chauge at Washing ton. Potato Culture. There is scarcely any crop that has induced more experimenting and has caused more discussion than tho growing of potatoes. On farms adjoining one another there is all possible difference in its culti vation. This is more in the seed planted and the manner of planting than in the preparation of the ground and after-cultivation, though in the results thereds next to no difference. Some farmers in sist that small whole potatoes are the best for planting; some cut off and throw away the seed end of the small potatoes; others plant one whole large potato; others cut me dium-sized potatoes in two or three pieces; others plant pieces with a single eye, and so on. Some plant the whole large potatoes in holes three feet apart; some the very small ones in drills. When the har vesting comes each will obtain about the same quantity of potatoes and about the same size. We think it probable that if the early part of the season is very dry that the large seed is the best, owing to the substance it possesses to sustain the young growth, otherwise the small seed, or the pieces of a medi um potato in size, is to be preferr ed. The saving, too, in the small seed (the latter being unfit for mar ket) will be considerable. A good sod, in ground not subject to stand ing water or usually very moist, is the best for this crop. Barn-yard manure spread over the ground ami raked in every row, and not plowed too deep, is best. Rows or drills we think, are to preferred, and they should be wide enough apart to ad mit the plow after the vines have become too laYge for* cultivation. All seed should be spread upon the barn floor for two or three weeks before planting, to admit of the ey es to get a little start, which will reduce about that time in advanc ing the maturity of the crop. The Methodists at their annual conference iu Philadelphia, decided that it was unwise to license fe male preachers. Dr. Buckley, chair, man of the itinerary committee, speaking on the subject, among oth er thugs, in closing said, “Women have full opportunity in'the Metho dist church to speak; they have per fect freedom; but to make them ministers is fraught with danger at every step. I do not believe that a woman can do her own work and a man’s as well. , The other day on an Arkansas railroad train, an important looking gentleman took a seat beside a quiet man and began a conversa tion : “I am going up to Little Rock,” he said to get a pardon for a convic ted thief. I’m not personally ac quainted with the governor, but he can’t afford to refuse me?’ Is the fellow guilty ? asked tlieman Of course lie is, but that makes no difference. His friends have agreed to give me $500 if I get him out, and thermometer is very low when I can’t put up a good tale. Where are you traveling?” ’’Going to Little Rock.” ”I)o you live there?” ”Yes,” ’’Perhaps you might be of some service to me. What business are you in. ”I’m the Governor.” Grains of Gold. Hope is griefs best music. Frugality is an estate alone. Prejudice is the reason of fools. Humanity judges humamity by itself. A civil denial is better than a rude grant. Do it well, thaffthou mayst not do it twice. He is rich who is poor enough to be generous. To extol one’s own virtue is to make a vice of it. Speak well of your friends—of your enemies say nothing. All reform is the flower and fruit of the great tree of faith. It is worldly wisdom not to make nor exasperate an enemy. About a pint of tears go to every pleasure, taking the world over. An act of kindness to a shivering beggar-child is a - profession of re ligion. Work to-day’ for you know not how much you may be hindered to-morrow. A true and genuine impudence is ever the effect of ignorance with out the sense of it. Never speak evil of another while you are under the influence of en vy and malevolen ce. It is the small leaks that impov erish a household. It is the small economies that leads to affluence. Good temper is the philosophy of the heart, gem in the treasury whose rays are reflected on all out ward objects. The high prize of life, the crown ing fortune of man, is to be born to some pursuit which finds him in employment and happiness. A man that hath no virtue in himself ever envieth virtue in oth ers; for men’s minds will either feed upon their own good or anoth er’s evil. To express no more than is really PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY.

To be happy at home is the ulti mate aim of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends and of which every desire prompts the execution. Rightness expresses of action what straightness does of lines and there can be two kinds of straigut lines A Change for the Better. There are more temperance organizations and societies in the country to-day. more men who are total abstainers, than at any time in its history. There are three or four States where the sentiment against the use of intoxicating drinks is so strong that their Legisiasures have been compelled to adopt stringent legislation on the subject. The mem ory of most men living can 'recall the time when the National Con gress, the Senate as well as the House of Represeutrtives, witness ed scenes of intoxication that shocked and disgraced the whole country. Strong drink was openly sold in both wings of the Capital at Washington, and it was an ordina ry occurrence to see drunken Sena tors and Representatives stagger ing through the corridors to their seats in the two branches of the National Legislature. It is true that liquor is still sold there; but it is in violation of the rules. The congressional revelry has come to an end, and no man who is known as a habitual drunkard, no matter how great his ability or how ex cellent in other respects, can retain his seat in either body. This is true of nearly all the State Legislatures. Ninety per cent, of the officeholders of the country, State and Federal, are men of temperate habits. They cannot, in fact, be elected or appo inted if their lives are in this re spect, a scandal. In private business houses the same rule obtains The clerk who is a heavy drinker is very soon invited to seek another position.— New York Hour. TOSKl’II L. COBB. FK.I.IX X.
