Washington Letter.
Washington March 7,1885.
Never did tlxe sun shine more
benignly on human pomp and
pageantry than on the fourth of
Starch 1885,when Grover Cleveland
was inaugurated President of the
United States. The superb
broad avenue which stretches
from the Capitol to the Treasury
had been swept, as clean as a fioor
and it was kept clear from curb to
curb. The sidewalks,windows,and
hundreds of temporary balconies
were tilled, it is estimated, by more
than two hundred thousand specta
tors. Promptly at half past ten the
presidential cortege started troni
the White House to the Capitol.
The President and the President
elect rod 4 in a carriage drawn hv
lour bav horses, and were driven at
: a walk the entire distance.
The inauguration ceremony pas
sed oil' smoothly. Mr. Cleveland
delivered his address in a clear,
strong voice, and without other ge
sticulation than a slight motion with
hi.- right hand. \V lien lie had eon
eluded he turned to the Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court and
swore that he would maintain the
constitution and the laws of the
United States. The hi hie used was
one that had been presented to Mr.
Cleveland by his mother. After
President. Cleveland had returned
to the White House he took his
position on the stand that had been
erected for the purpose,and surroun
dedby ex-president Arthur and a
j number of distinguished person
; ages, reviewed a procession. The
parade was the most imposing ever
1 seen in the city. The crowd was
the largest best behaved and most
icspeetable looking ever seen here.
The day was the finest ever vouch
safed to pageantry, and President
Cleveland entered upon his arduous
work under the most cheering aus
pices.
1 hml never seen the president
until he appeared in the carriage
on his way to the Capitol. I was
impressed by his pallor, his expres
ion of weariness, and harrassment.
lie looks older than his photo
graphs. I saw him again at the
inaugural ball when lie was escor
ted around the densely packed hall
between Senator Pendleton of Ohio
and Mr. Merrick of this city. The
scene, the enthusiasm of the crowd,
the greetings of ladies who did not
wait for an introduction, was evi
jdcntlv new to the president.. He
| was pleased, and did notknow how
to conceal it, or rather did not try
to conceal it. Asa result he was
perfectly natural, and the very
opposite of blase. His face wore
a large uncultivated smile, such as
might he worn by a healthy country
j lass at her dehut. in the-city, and in
] the surprise of finding herself an
unprofessional attraction. But I
jdo not think Mr. Cleveland will
I prove himself wanting the suaviter
| in modo that is the natural outcome
i of candor and simplicity of charac
i ter. As for the fortiter in re,every
one knows he has it, and some good
Democrats fear he has too much of
it for practical purposes.
The city is overflowing with vis
itors, and so great is their enthus
iasm and good will that it is feared
that they will bore the president to
j death. His time on the day after
| inauguration was occupied in shak
ing hands with delegations, which
j had no other excuse or object than
a desire to meet and greet the Pres
| idont of the United States. It was
observed that the President shook
I hands without gloves. To have
; shaken hands with the President is
I doubtless a very pleasant souvenir
of the memory to those who conic
l o Washington,but those who wise
jl v and patriotically wish him well
! will not take the time and energy
1 that does not belong to individuals,
j hut is consecrated to the interests
iof sixty millions of people. Presi
dent Cleveland has a great and ap
palling work before him, and if lie
j docs not sternly protect himself
; from the gush, and drivel, and im
i port unity of pilgrims who come
single and in battallions his four
vears will go out without their mead
of accomplishment.
Editor Clazcth.
“Times change and men change
with them.” A f'".v examples of
this trite and true saying have
; truck me with much force in the
last few years.
In this article, I will only allude
to two or three as being pertinent
and instructive at the present time.
Not a quarter of a century back,
cotton seed the great fertilizer,—in
fact the basis and foundation of the
best commercial manures, —was to
tally ignored. Out side of planting
seed they were considered a draw
back and a nuisance to any one
having them. In fact, I have been
told by farmers now living that they
were allowed tor.c umulate around
gin houses fill they got so much in
the way that they hired and paid
hands to move them off to the
swamps and creeks to get rid of
them. What a change in the last
few years. Now we cant vet enough.
The cry conics from every point ot
the compass, give us more seed. We
need them foroil, food and manure.
We cant do without them. The life
liberty and property of the South
ern people depend upon a crop of
cotton seed. The propensity to
steal never quite overmastered me,
but if there is one f hing more than !
another that 1 would appropriate to
my own use without returning val
ue received, it would he cotton seed.
So you see how much value I place
upon them.
Let us look at oats a little. A few
vears ago they were considered al
'most worthless as a paying crop. 1 j
have heard .old farmers sav that
they were nothing hut “stuffing'’ |
that oak leaves were about as valua
blc as a feed for stock. When they
had any land that was too poor to
make any crop they would sow it j
down in oats, and they would be \
certain, to sow them and plow them
in while it was raining, are at least j
while the ground was too wet for
anything else. I can remember
when it was a common saying “mud
in oats, dusk in wheat." 1 am not
certain that it is not pract iced by a
few yet. There has been quite a
change in the minds of leading far
mers in the last few years on the oat
question. It is looked upon now as
tlu* prop and main stay <l the good
and successful farmers. There are
a great many pungent reasons why
it is so considered. I will not tax
the patience of vour readers with the
reasons now. I think they are per
tinent to all. Suffice it to say, when
we love our oat crop, we are in the
same fix Jack was when he lost his
supper. In this connection, lam
compelled to say, however, that wo
have had a pretty tough time the
last two years trying to master and
control the said above mentioned
crop.
Next we will notice hill side ditch
ing. Not long since it was all the
go. A man that didn’t cut up and
butcher his land with hill side ditch
ers was considered a knave. He
must commence at the highest point
in his field and give two inches fall
in every sixteen feet and he must
cut them every few feet apart,and if
theditches-happen to be length by
the time he get to the stopping point
he would have enough fall to run a
steam boat without any steam. A
farmer that will run liill side ditches
now is considered a, fool.
How true the epithet will apply,
time will develop. The great rage
now is ridging or terracing.
The proper ter 41, I think, will be
ridging till they become sodded,
then they would become terraces. 1
am not prepared, nor am 1 willing
now to give a positige verdict upon
this important subject. But of the
two, hill side ditching and ridging,
I decidedly prefer the hitter. Re
cently I have seen one or two old
time fogy farmers scratch their
heads, shut one eye and deliberate
ly say they would like to try just a
few to see how the thing would
work.
For fear of encroaching too much
upon your space I will only notice
at this time one more change of
time and men. We ha ve a democrat
ic president and I hope and trust
and pray that we have a democrat
ic administration. What a change !
Once in twenty-four years. I was
taught to believe that every seven
years would bring changes. I guess
when that maxim was fixed up no
such thing as Radicals was heard
of. Anyway it did’nt prove correct
in their case.
A while back I was anxious to go
to the New Orleans Exposition, but
since 1 learned from reliable author
ity that W. T. Chapman of Milner
has gone and carred his memo.ian
diim book and will take “dots” and
Judge T. J, Barrett of West Pike to
take care of him, and he also car
ried his haversack of biscuit and
told his wife to wrap him up a bot
tle of gravy, 1 don’t feel grieved
now that I did tgo because 1 will
get all the particulars any
way.
The farmers are terribly behind
with their work and ifthis freezing
weather continues much longer it
will be April before we ■gel ready to
plant corn. But I have written
enough for this time and must close.
Yours truly.

In Memoriam.
“He giveth His beloved sleep.”
Ever and anon the inexorable
“chronicler of the grave,” calls
some of the craft from “labor to re
freshments !” In the development
jof His inscrutable providences the
Supreme Architect above at uncer
tain time but until a certainty that
knows no exception in the annals
of time promotes the faithful labo
rers in the terrestrial “temple” to
that “house not made with hands
eternal in the heavens” —the “rough
ashlar” having become indeed the
“polished stone.” Many times in
its history has Pinta Lodge F. A. M.
been summoned to chronicle the
death and mourn the loss. of mine
of its members, but never in all its
history has death demanded a more
“shining mark” than Brother J. B.
Hanson, the subject ot this sketch.
Almost from “time immemorial’’
had he been intimately identified
with this lodge. Not only was ho
a brii/ht Mason, versed in the ritual
and In the unwritten work of this
ancient and honorable Order, hut
lie was a good one, faithful and.
zealous, breathing the spirit and
living the principles of the. "Mystic’
faith. He was a man of mark
among us. His shibboleth was al
ways distinctly pronounced. With
a head always clear in the Con
ception of duty, his life was ever re
sponsive to the call of his convic
tions. Thus learned in mystic lore,
wise in counsel and prompt in ihc 4
discharge of duty, his presence was
a cotent inspiration to the craft. To
them his loss is irreparable. They
miss him as they would miss no
other. They fain still would have
I him with them. But the Grand
Master above “giveth his beloved
sleep.” And we are assured that
aftea “life's fitful fever he sleeps
J well,” for he had “set his house in.
. order” and has ihc “pass word” to
the temple in t-lic skies. True the
vase is broken —shattered —but the
incense of his Masonic virtues will
linger forever as a gracious inspira
tion about Pinta Lodge. Whether
considered as a Mason, or as a man,
a citizen, a teacher, a magistrate, a
minister of the gospel, husband,
father or friend, he was the same 4
constant, conscientious, courage
ous character —a rare combination
of remark able gifts and graces
sanx pear, xanx reproach. Power
less to portray his character in all
its well balanced proportions we
can only say as wo have said betoru.
“Our brother is dead ! We com
mend his spirit to God! \\ e
cherish his memory in our bosoms!’
“Fond regrets and tendes recollec
tions follow him.”
In honor of our deceased brother
and in obedience to a time honored;
custom, Be it
Resolved, That a blank page in
our records be dedicated to his
memory.
2nd. That the jewels of the lodge
he draped and that the membership
wear the usual badge of mourning
for thirty days.
3rd. That the city papers be re
quested to publish this preamble
and resolution, and that a copy of
same be furnished to family of de
ceased. R. J. Powell,
