Kn«u<b of Tbit-
Tbe country has not honored suffi
ciently th* brae* follows who went
w iib Hobton on the Merrimac, espec
ially that one of them, Diegnsn by
name, wbo a few days ago, when a
woman tried to kies hi tn, gently but
firmly protected himsoll.
Honestly, have we not had some
what too much of this kissing of he
roes of the recent war by women who
have no kinship or even acquaintance
with them?
We admit that kissing is all right in
iu place. Probably it is one of the
joys of lifo. We are also willing to
concede that women are somewhat
given to kissing. They kies each oth-1
er on the moot trivial occasions, and
for one woman to kies another has als
ways seemed Io si a most culpable
waste of material that could be used
to far better purpose.
A witty Fredohman has discussed
tbe intuitive need women seem to feel
for being affectionate. He declares
that they must kiss butterflies if there
be no mor* real need on band. But
tbe war kies has gone to an excess
which eaosee a tired feeling to come
over many very sensible pt ople. Tbe
editor of Harper’s Bassr was oppressed
by this feeling when he wrote the fol
lowing words, which have our hearty
approval:
“Just at present, however, in the
flush of victory and the excitement of
becoming the victors, patriotism is
getting rather frothy. There is a good
deal of effervesc> nee, and this feminine
demonstrativeness is bubbling over a
little toe much First it was Lieut.
Hobson wbo was tbe subject, and ev
ery ope smiled indulgently over the
enthusiastic girl who fojlowed the in
stinctive and Warm impulse of many
a woman who "felt like’* doing tbe
same thing. Then it was Commodore
Schley. According to the news dis
patches from Washington ‘two women
threw their arms about bis neck and
kissed him.' Then it was the boys of
tbs Seventy first New York volunteers
wbo wore welcomed with cheers, rat
ties, megaphones—and kissee It seems
as If it was time to curb this exuber
guce of welcome. A little more of it,
•nd all sensible women will begin to
blush with annoyanceo-if they have
not already done so.”
We can imagine how some impul
sive girls would like to kiss Hobson,
•nd the flohley case is not far beyond
the bounds of explanation, but why
any woman outside her own family
could ever have desired to kiss tbe sol
dier* of the Seventy-first New York
volunteers, egeept those in its third
battalion, after their conduct at tbe
battle «f Santiago, is certainly a mys
tery ---Atlanta Journal

Has found that her little ones are improv
ed more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs,
when in need of the laxative effect of a
gentle remedy than by any other, and that
it is more acceptable to them. Children
enjoy it and it benefits them. The true

Our Public Schools.
The Chattanooga Times says that
Georgia, “though larger and more pop
ulous, and passing as being much
richer than Tennessee, spends $500,000
a year less on tbe people’s schools.”
We wish tbe Times bad quoted some
figures of Tennessee’s expenditures for
public school purposes in making tbe
comparison. We have not at band
the figures for that i late, but we feel
sure that our contemporary is mistak
en. The State of Georgia for the cur
rent year will spend $1,650,000 for
public schools, $1,000,000 of which is
raised by taxation. We do not believe
that Tennessee is spending $8,150,000
on her schools this year. Should the
recommendation of the Governor of
Georgia, that the school appropriation
be reduced by $400,000, be adopted*
Georgia would next year pay out for
common school purposes about $1,250,

A Girl’s Shrewd Scheme.
A girl up on the west side gave a
“jabot party” the other day that struck
me as having commendable features
A jabot, as every one but the benight
ed man wbo may be reading this,
knows is a “neck fixing” of lace or
silk or chiffon, the fashioning of which
eludes the amateurish band and the
price of which puts it out of'reach of
all but* tbe more oplilent. This girl
had looked on ths neckwear display
and had fallen a victim to its wiles.
She knew that if she could get two or
three of those mysterious knots and
bows in her bands lor five minutes
she could copy them at small expense
and in a manner to defy detection.
But to get them, that was tbe point.
Then she happened to think of the
“memorandum” system of sending
goods to cuatomeiAAu approval, and
on the spot she coolly ordered two or
three ot the prettiest and most expen
sive sent to her address that she might
try their effect with her new silk waist
—at least, that is the excuse she gave.
This done, she hunted up two or
three other gills, likewise jabot-en
vious, outlined her plan, and entreat
ed them to do likewise. The result
was that that night a half-dozen maids
beid a secret conclave at the bouse of
one of their number and from early
after dinner until long after midnight
they plied their needles, fashioning
out of the materials which they bad
come provided some of the daintiest
trifles imaginable Tbe next day
each strolled into her particular store,
and with the most nonchalant air told
tbe cleik to send for the goods on
“memorandum,” as none of the colors
suited, and that Chicago shops would
have to be depended upon to furnish
a greater variety. New Orleans

SBIFFIN, &EOREUA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7,1838.
Why Do They Neglect Him!
A few days ago the Atlanta Consti
tution sa!d it had discovered that the
Democratic papers which in 1890 op
posed that part <>t the Chicago plat
form which demands free silver coinage
are now opposing tbe policy of ex
pansiou—-that is, the acquisition of
the Philippines Since the Constitu
tion has made that discovery; and an
nounced it, a fair question would be,
why is it that so many of the Demo
cratic papers which were so enthusi
astic over the Chicago platform in
1896 are now saying nothing in praise
of Col. Bryan, the Democratic leader
in 1896? Is it because Col. Bryan
finds nothing to praise in the rxpan*
sion idea?
Some of the Democratic leaders, it
is said, visited Col. Bryan while he
was at his home at Lincoln, and tried
to induce him to change his views
respecting expansion idea, but, it is
asserted, be firmly declined to* do so.
He takes the view that Senator Hoar
does, namely, that the acquisition of
the Philippines means the purchaseol
sovereignty, and that the genius of
ourinstitutions is opposed to the bar
ter and sale of sovereignty. It is said
also that he holds that the acquLiliot
of the Philippines would eventually
make the conditions for the common
people harder.
Col. Bryan is entitled to credit for
standing by his convictions, notwith
standing the fact that some of the pa
pers which were the loudest in their
demands for free silver and the Cbtca
go platform appear nOw to be giving
him the cold shoulder—Savannah

A Nevr Fl»h From Trout Ewa>a.
At the fish hatchery at Ukiah, Cal., an
odd thing canio out this summer in the
trout hatching, which has puzzled some
of the experts. A lot of trout egg* came
in from Lake Tahoe, and in the course of
hatching out there appeared among the
products of these eggs some, eighty odd
strange fish, a pale lemon colored fish
fringed with black, with a pink line
alongside, and a bright metallic luster in
general coloration. The authorities wfere
unable to name these fish and are hold
ing them in a separate apartment, hoping
that they will either turn into regulation
trout or get themselves classified as they
belong.
It would appear that nature has got
in another of her mystifying waysand
has not consulted the authorities about it
at all. Is it possible that we are to have a
specialties to add to the fantail deer
and the horn snake? The fantail deer X
take to be now scientifically admitted, not
only as a possibility, but as a fact, and I
lay much unction to my own soul that I
was ahead of the scientist on that and
guessed correctly that the old hunters were
correct in claiming that there was such
an animal. As to these trout, it is as well
to be meek, for not even an old hunter has
as yet appeared who ever saw anything
like th^m.—Ed Hough in Forest and
Stream.
Pllffrims to Blaine’s Grave.
The superintendent of Oak Hill ceme
tery in this city says that an average of 80
perso'ns visit that place every day to see
the grave of Mr. Blaine, and four out of
every five come to his office to Inquire why
it is unmarked. Mr. Blaine lies upon the
eastern slope of a beautiful hill by the side
of his son Walker and daughter Alice,
who was the wife of General Coppinger.
There is a small headstone marking
Walker’s grave, inscribed simply with his
name and the dates of his birth and death.
The daughter’s grave is marked by an
elaborate Celtic cross, which, the inscrip
tion “Was erected by her sorrowing
husband,” but the grave of Secretary
Blaine is marked only by a small foot
stone, a few inches square, bearing the
letters “J. G. B.”
It has been understood among the
friends of the Blaine family that the
burial at Oak Hili is only temporary; that
Mrs. Blaine intends to remove the bodies
of her husband and children to Augusta
as soon as she can make satisfactory ar
rangements for their interment there, and
that Is probably the reason why no perma
nent monument has been erected.—Wash
ington Letter in Chicago Record.
