FHE GOVERNOR AND HARRY HiLL.
An Augusta contemporary says “there
are strong political influences back of
the appeal for executive clemency for
Marry Hill.”
wptitical influences” have saved too
maay criminals from suffering just pen
alties. “Political influences’ have robbed
the enurts of law of much of ‘the respect
that shaala be paidto them.
Uatil our courts are respected and
their convicts punished how can it be ex
pected that crime will be checked?
There should be no ‘‘political influen
ees” about a pardon for Harry Hill, or
any other notorious criminal. If the
governor is convinced that the convict
has been sufficiently punished it is the
governor's prerogative to graot him a
wardon; but the governor has no right
to pay political debts with his pardoning
powes.
The vumor is an unfortunate one, and
it is to be hoped that there are no real
groum ds for it. sut, from the fact thai
itis a mpeflti’éu; f;¢ charge that was
opesly ~wnd mpegadly made during the
canvass last summier, the progress of this
movement in the ‘interest of a convict
who is reputed to have a political pull
will be watched with more than ordinary
imterest. %

A GAY TANQIDATE.
A. 8. White, of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
wmsweeessful democratic candidate for
state semator, has filed his expense ac
conat affidavit, as required by law, and
#tis worth reading. In his deposition
' he racites that he was once a happy, con
tentad citizen of Grand Rapids; that in
am evii hour, when filled with concelt
amd vain longing for political dis'inctiony]
he was tempted by the offer of a nomina
tien on the democratic ticket, and col
- to the advice of judicious friends,
ke weakly yielded, He says further that
his candidacy was sprung on the people
st 2 time when preparations for the
slaaghter of the democratic party of
Michigan were in active progress; when
that pe¥tical coward, Don M. Dickinson,
flecimg from the wrath to come, had
straek his colors and left the state; when
part of the army opposin deponent’s
election was proving conclusively that he
was a member of the Kkoman Catholic
eharch and another part of the army was
skowing beyond the shadow ofa doubt
that be was a member of the A. P. A,
and he closes by saying that his cam
paigm expenses, to the best of his knowl
edge, amounted to about $lOO, and that
if ke kmows himself he will never spend
amy wove money running for office as
long as he lives.
#r. White's experience has had a
salatary effect upon him and ought to
Be worth not less than $lOO as a warning
¢~ others. He has made a handsome
eontribation, moreover, to the gayety of
the mation. His candidacy was not whol-
By in vain.
LA%LESSNESS IN BROOKS.
" ¥t seems that the “Brooks county war”
has tarned out to ve no war at all. So
far from there being a race war, it ap
pears chat two or three negroes were
Bymcked by half a dozen or so white
mes, whick th: good people of 3rooks
county condemnwithrut qualification.
Tke state of Georgia cannot afford to
Bet such an occurrence blot her history
witkeut making the most d2termined
efforts to bring the guilty parties to jus-‘
gice and inflict such severe punishment
as will teach a wholesome lesson. There
eould hardly be a better opportunit to
gest the pewer of the law, or the ability
« £ the autborities to enforee it. |
A¥ good citizens will agree that there
Bas lately beenloo much of this lawless- l
mess in Geovrgia. If the courts are get- |
tingso lax that the public is ceasing tol
wegard chem as the proper agents for
punisbing erimes it is a great reflection !
on the courts and the administration of
Juastice in Georgia, and it behooves the|
proper wuthorities to take such active and
wigor sz steps as will bring about a
meeded reform.
“WixreEr and Summer’” were never |
more charmingly pictured thax they are |
this season on Hood's Sarsaparitla Cal- |
eadar. This calendar is made in the
shape of & heart and 1s ornamented with
tws ehild faces, lithographed in bright
and matural colors, one peeping oaut, |
amid the snow flakes, from a dainty cap, |
anlthe other lighted up with the glory ‘
of the summor sunshine. The usual |
#mfermation about the luna changes and l
o her astronomical events is given,and the
calendar. besides Jeing ‘‘athing of beau-1
t-, is also useful every day in the year.
I may be obtained at the druggist’s, or, |
if his supply is exhausted, six ceuts in
stamps should be sent to C. I. Hood &
Co., proprietors Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
Lowell, Mass., who will forward a calen
dar free. For ten cents two calendas
will be sent.
Or all the plans that have been ad
vanced lhoking to a better price for cot
ton the scieme snggested by a New Or
leans man in the most nonsensical. He
proposes that an association of planters,
bankers and merchants be formed, the
former to take an oath to rednuce the
average in cotton omne-third and the lat
ter to advancz money ard supplies only
to those entering into the agreement. Lt
ig also proposed that a supervisor be ap
pointed to police each district to see
that the obligation taken by the farmers
is carried out, or bring the offenders be
fore the graul jury for perjury. The
farmer who would enter into such a
thing as that deserves to get only four
cen’s fo his cotton.
AND now there is a projezt on foot
among the dignitaries for the people to
chip in ind erect a *‘Georgia’ building
for the exaposition to be held in At
lanta. ~The people find 1t hard enough
these times to meet the necessary vx
penses of life, much less to make monied
contributions to the glory of paffed-up
officials and individuals.
Tue people were not so poor as they
thought they were. They didn’t think
they wou d be able to have much Christ
mas, but veports from every section of
the country show that the celebration of
the day was almost uniyersal. Tbere
was comfort and good cheer everywhere.
~ Ir the present congress fails to pass a
financial bill the president would do
right to call an extra session. If the
democrats can’'t or won’t ao, the repub
licans should have a tarn at the thing.
The interest of the country should be
consideved before the effect on party,
Tuar NEwS, like the Columbus Enquir
er-Sun, has no idea that President Cieve
land has gone into the detective and
special police partnership that Wash
ingtun correspondents have givea out 80
prominently, Cleveland is a brave man,
and is nut easily alarmed.
CONNECTICUT now executes criminals
on an automatic gallows., This com
pelling a man to commit legal suicide is
done to save the sheriffs nerves. The
idea is worthy of the wooden nutmeg
makers, who pride themselves on their
advanced civilization.
TuAT prison life disagrees with him is
the main reason given by the friends of
Harry Hill for asking for a pardon for
that worthy,'and the Blakely Observer
thinks there is no doubt/that it is true.
Less fastidious people than Darry aie
not in love with prison life.

\ PAINTINGS OF CHRIST.
: s
The Face as Depicted by Some of the More
| Modern Artists.
~ Among the more modern paintings
representing the Saviour is that by Cor
reggio, painted in the sixteenth cen
tury. It represents Christ with short
curly beard, with long waving hair, sur
mounted by a crown of thorns. There
is a look of mute anguish on his face
that is heartrending, but nevertheless
the facs is rather weak.
The most terrible likeness is that
painted at about the same tin.e as that
of Correggio by Albert Durer. It rep
resents a powerful face, with a Grecian
cast of countenance, with eyes distorted
by pain and anguish, and even a trifle
of anger is apparent.
The Christ of Raphael, a contempo
rary of both the above, is an essentially
Italian work, the face being Italian,
although the model for the forehead and
upper face was evidently a woman.
The Rembrandt Christ of the seventeenth
_century wears an unpleasant expression
about the mouth and has too long a face
to be perfect, yet it is one of the great
artist’s last efforts.
Perhaps the most fantastic picture of
Christ is that painted in the fifteenth
century by Leonardo da Vinci. It rep
resents the Saviour looking over his
shoulder, a cynical smile on his face.
A hand may be seen in his hair, evi
dently drawing the head to one side. It
cannot compare in beanty, bowever, to
the same artist’s face of Christ in the
famous ‘‘Lord’s Supper.’’
The noblest and the grandest is that
by Titian, painted in the sixteenth cen
tury. It is a face of resignation, of
firmness—strong, yet mild; mild, yet
strong. Titian was 90 years old when
he painted this, and it is considered as
one oi his masterpieees.
Of the absolutely modern paintings
of Christ those of Munkaczy, Ary Shef
fer and Gabriel Marx rank highest. Still
every one of these is an imaginary pro
duction, and the Saviour will still con
tinue to be the ‘‘Man of Mystery.’’

Ball Lightning.
The occurrence of what is known as
ball ligktning is so rare that every in
stance of it is of some interest. The
London Lancet describes a narrow es
cape from death by this form of light
niug, which was experienced by a dis
tinguished surgeon of Louvain, who had
gone to visit a patient in a neighboring
town. He was overtaken by a thunder
storm, and what he described as a ball
of fire descended upon and rendered him
for some time unconscious.
On coming to himself he found that
the cloth of the umbrella which he had
been holding was completely burned off
its steel framework, the metal being
twisted into every shape. He attributes
his safety to the circumstance that the
ambrella had a wooden handle. Had it
been of metal he must have been instan
taneously killed. —Chambers’ Journal.

LOSS OF POWER
and vital force follow loss of flesh,
or emaciation. These come from
impoverished blood. Dr. Pierce’s
' Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood, stops the waste of strength
and tissue, and builds up healthy
flesh. Nasty Cod liver oils add fat
' but not wholesome flesh. Thin, pale,
