She is solid in politics, sound in the faith and a true friend to the laboring classes and a true de¬ fender of the principles of equality between labor and capital. The News, unlike Constitution, does not “roost” on the fence till capital pro claims his power, and then sidle over that way. No, no, no, but like a true friend to labor, honest labor, she comes b Jdly to the front and express es her views, sometimes in scathing terms too plain to be misunderstood.

Today is St. Valentines Day, and that beautiful custom of sending jour loved one some token of yont regard will be remembered. The happy school children lnva been wild with impatience for the day to arrive, aud the usual stores are fuirly aliVs with pictures of doves nud an gels and other symbols of love and virtue. Tho poor postmaster h *s no rest, though, and be fears the day as a pestilence. The skill and labor required in getting ready for market all those missives, which come under the gsn end head of valenfints, i6 far greater than the majority of people imagine. There are five or six largo establish ments in the United States whose sole business it is to prepare Christ mas. New Year's, Easter and Valen tine day cards, and they number among tb*ir paid list some 10,000 persons, ranging from the packers, etc., up to artists who desigD the of ton very beautiful pictures which adorn the cards. Tho valentine of a few years ago was a cheap and tawdry affair, usual ly representing hearts transfixed by enormous darts, Cupids and buxom, red cheeked girls in impossible gar dens, surrounded with lace paper and bearing some doggerel which makes frequent appeal to the muses for the inspiration they seldom had vouchsafed them. From those silly and garish things to the l dutiful and artistic productions of today the evolution has been slow, but now a valentine is a thing of beauty in an artistic sense, and ia also often mount ed and prepared iu sumptuous style. A handsome valentiue is now paint ed on satin, or printed from the litbo graphic plates of these houses and decorated with delicate silk fringe tiny bows of ribbon, or perhaps si' ver or gold cord and tassels. Then thoy file laid in a box wrapped iu soft cotton and sent to the proud re cipient. Aside from these lovely and urtis tic valentines it is quite permissible to send a pretty gift of very great value, together with a bunch of flow era as a valentine. The lace perfera ted paper envelopes aud Hiring sol ored efforts in the way of Cupids aud such cherubs ate now bought but by little school boys, or some poor man whose artistic sense is scarcely developed, to send to his Dulcinea of the b. -einent floor, who thinks it lovely, o! c *nr-e. The comic valeu iae is vulgar and low, and yet the supply of them is sufficient proof that there is a de rnnr.d, and *.l at there are many sent each y t :o. 'a L* y ate sent from mo tives of petty malice and viciimttss as well us from an idta that it is can niug to send a pict oiial honor to some one as a practical joke or as a personal insult, secure in 'heir incog uita. Comic valentines usually are of tho eoarsest, most < xoggerated burlesque upon whatever they wish to assail, amt have a verse below as witless and vulgar as th- florid pict tire above it.

Thomas, whoso application for chaplaincy in the army the Presi dent has had under consideration for several months. Knowing bis deservings in tbis parti n ular we bav ofteD wondered why tbis appoint ment bad not been rnude. F* r (he benefit of his friends in Congress wo epitomize the following: When Col. Springer, !o whom the ci'.y of Griffin was surrendered, took a look into hospital matters, he found tb »t out friend had been allowed to act as nurse and chaplain to tbe sick and wounded of both armies, and at tbe suggestion of Rev. Elder Camp bell, the blue coats were made his special charge. His conduct in this matter was fully presented to Presi dent Johnson, who at tbe request of Secretary Welles, gave him a com mission in the army, but which, alas, was never approved by tbe Senate, although the Adjutant General noti fied him of the appointment and as sored him that it soon would be confirmed. In tho meantime Gen. Pope had made Atli nta bis herdqatrters; be bad a vorv large sick list and as bis staff surgeon, H. K. Smith, recognized in the rector of St. Phillips bis former friend and chaplain of the Army Post at Barrancas, Flotida, who was also chaplain of the Navy Yard at the same time, he was ealled on to perform the duties of Chaplain for the garrison, and this he continued to do for seven years under Pope, Meade and Terry, and at his own ex pease. This added a good deal to his parochial wotk as there were no street cars at that time. When Bish op Pierce was usked if he would again sign his application for a chap laior . his answer was: “ I certainly w: 1 again and again if need be, for th nan wh# has served seven years w: -i credit to himself and his church in th'i most sickly climate in tbe wot id has justly earned a seven year* where tho white man c:iu live and labor without constant droad. * Li -e.-le- (he eodoisi moot cf both Bishop, of Georgia, Pierce and Beck j w with, n "v In fore ihe ih. ro is !•-» in enthusiastic recom mendmioL ot h.s last commodore.
