Hoot inf? the Heoro.
Thrico happy, to use an ancient
expression, is the man who docs not
live in the fierce light that beats up
on the throne, Only this man is
really free; only he can do as h
pleases with his own without
having to reckon with the
watchful public; only he can sit at
meat without knowing that every
mouthful he cats is counted; only hr
can freely conic and go without the
uneasy consciousness that lie is the
observed of all observers, and that
among the latter are always those
ready to raise an alarm and give
him no quarter should make a single
mistake.
Admiral Dewey no doubt i ues the
day that he accepted the house in
Washington tendered him by the
people. Had ho not feared that it
would seem ungracious anti that his
action would excite criticism, he
would doubtless have refused the
gift. It was dangerous to accept
and not lees dangerous to refuse.
This is very clear now.
Ilia explanation of his action in
deeding the home to his newly mar
ried wife satisfied his own sense of
propriety, but not that of the public.
It was a genuine surprise and un
questionably a mistake, But the
admiral is worthy not only oi fair
treatment, but of lenient judgment..
His point of view merits respectful
consideration, lie thought lie was
doing the most graceful act an Amer
ican gentleman could do. Graceful
indeed under ordinary circumstan
ces, but a sad mistake under these.
Criticism was to be expected—could
not be avoided—but abuse was un
called for and is a grievous thing to
see.
At Stamford, in Connecticut, a
man has just been expelled from the
Methodist church for praying and
shouting loo loudly. He belongs
to that school which in Connecticut is
called “shouting Methodist,” and
insist upon the right to be demon
strative whenever he feels happy.
The other members of the flock from
which he has been expelled tried to
prevail upon him lo ho less noisy,
but ho only shouted the louder;
therefore the ,• concluded that t.
only way tiny could secure quiet and
harmony in their worship would he
to gel rid of the noisy member.
Harris I’ostell had only been out
of jail a short while last week for
stealing Herchael Harris’ clothes
when he was arrested and put back
in prison on a warrant sworn out by
his father who charged lnm with
stealing his witch, some money
and a lot of other things. Harris
was discharged by Justice Allen as
not sufiicent proof was produced to
justifiy the official in binding him.
He confessed to taking the watch
but said he only aimed to wear it
awhile and meant no harm. Justice
Allen thought so ns did all who heard
the evidence.—Daldoncga Nugget.
A large illicit distillery was de
stroyed in Nimblewill district the
other day by Collector Crawford and
Marshall Giizzle, which is behoved
by the officers to belong to Rev. Mat
Grizzle, ex-tax receiver of Lumpkin
county w i o is of the Baptist beleif.
One of tho divines sons was operating
the concern but he out ran the officers,
not taking time to get his cigarette
paper and tobacco. Now they will
have to do without their morning
dram until they get another copper
and put up again.—Dablonega Nug

John I. Blair, the millionaire
founder of Blairstown New Jersy,
died rcently in the 98th year of
hi» age, leaving a fortune of $50,

Apart from the notoriety which
Bob Ingersoli achieved by his an
tagonism to the Christian religion,
ho was noted as a master of rhetoric
and cloqueu co. Here is what he
once said about woman’s love.
“The one tiling in this world that
is constant,^.he peak that rises aluve
all clouds, the one window in which
the light that forever burns, the one
star that darkness cannot quench, is
woman’s love. It rises to the grand
est, heights and falls to the lowest
depths it forgives the most cruel
wrongs; it is perennial of life and
grows in every dime. Neither cold
ness nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish it. A wom
an’s love is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles in art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand symphony that hears the
soul .’.way on the wings of fire. A
love that is greater than power,
sweet', than life and stronger than
death.”
Two curious facts are reported
with regard to Mitchell county in
North Carolina. One is that there
arc no negroes m it; the other is that
the county gives a larger Republican
majority than any other county in
the state. It is said that the white
people will not allow the negroes
even to enter the county.

Who could have foretold during
the progress of the grand pageant in
New York on the 80.h of Hep tern -
her that within less than two months
j j Admiral Deucy would be hooted m !
lhe 8lre « ts of Washington? Truly,
as some one said in reference to |
Hobson, we use up heroes very fast] al-j
in this country. It would seem
most better not to have them- cor-'
lairily the inan who is not one has a j
better chance of happiness, The
history of Dewey and Hobson would
seem to justify in a measure the
foreign criticism that as a nation we
are hysterical. We [dace our heroes
on too high a predestal, and when
they mak<* a mistake—for heroes are
human, after all—we do not let them
down by gentle stags, but knock
them off, careless of the bruises to
result from so great a fall. Ilappy
is the man who is not an American
hero.—Exchange.
