h ^ Jerald and ^Ulrcrtwcit, Itewnan. Ga., Friday, August 12th, 1887. A Democratic Record. Homebody asked the Little Rock Democrat to point out what the Demo crats have accomplished in the three v earK which they have had charge of the Government, and that paper re plies as follows: 1. It has restored more than 100,000,- <k»o acres of unearned land grants to the public domain for the benefit of poor M'ttlcrs. 2. It has paid nearly $200,000,000 of the public debt, and at the same time paid more money for pensions than ev er paid before in the same time. The expenses of the Government have been reduced about $15,000,000. 4. Hordes of lazy* incompetent and ageless officials have been dispensed with. It has broken up Indian rings, land rings and tradership rings that nourished till the Democratic party 'tune into power. 0. It has established business meth ods and strict economy for jobbery and wasteful extravagance. 7. It has given the lie to the charge that Democracy if entrusted with pow er would “put the negroes back in slavery njid pension the Confederate, soldiers.” . S, It has done more in three years to curb the racapity of corporations than f he Republican party did in a quarter of a. century. !). The Democratic party repealed the odious and unjust tdhure of office act. 10. A Democratic Congress passed an act forbidding the ownership of land by aliens. 11. A Democratic Congress instituted a searching inquiry into the affairs and management of the Pacific railroads an investigation which lias already ac complished much good. 12. The Democrats reduced the fees on postal money orders and extended the benefits of the free delivery sys tem. 18. A Democratic Congress ordered the adjustment of railroad land grants, 14. A Democratic Congress passed an act authorizing the issue of small silver certificates—a matter great ad vantage to the people. 15. A Democratic Congress passed the act settling the succession to the Presidency, and also the act regulating the counting of the electoral vote. There could be no more important acts, 10. A Democratic Congress passed an act forbidding the use of convict la bor upon all Government works. A just and wise act. And to this may be added the Inter- State bill. All this has been done by Democrats inside of three years. And we assuie our correspondent that this is only part of the “splendid record” made by tiie Democratic party within.that time, It is not safe to fool around a Demo cratic newspaper. They are all loaded. tired, wasted arms lay helpless by his side, and he forgot his prattling words, and could only moan and suffer, pa tiently hut hopelessly, as is the way With children. And he cried no more. But one night when it rode high in the heavens and washed every tree and hill top and unsightly scene with a baptism of silver, he saw it through the win dow, beyond the light of the niglit-lamp, and the solemn faces of the watchers. And, sitting up among the white pil lows, he lifted the weak and weary baby hands, and, stretching them to ward the window, cried in his old way. “I ’ant the moon! I ’ant the moon! Dear baby! the moon is shining on his grave to-night. And lie has long ago learned the heavenly geography and ceased to stretch out empty, yearning arms, or to “’ant the moon.” How the Sultan Lives. Epoch. Abdul Hamid lives in Oriental seclu sion. He is an inveterate smoker, and shows his European taste by smoking cigarettes, instead of Turkish pipes, His palace surpasses in beauty and magnificence the rich descriptions in the Arabian Nights.- Passing through a marvelously beautiful gate of green and gold, halls, chambers and apart incuts succeed one another, each and •dl displaying an airy grace and un dreamed of splendor. The Hall of Jewels contains a dazzling collection of rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and other precious stones, heaped in large basins while diamonds of great size and pearls of rare loveliness are as plentiful as green peas in June. While the Sultan lives in all the magnificene of Eastern luxury, the people are wretchedly poor. Beggars infest the streets of Constan tinople by day, and thieves by night Sind as tiie city is miserably lighted, oiid the police very indifferent, the robbers have every opportunity, to ply their vocation with success and impuni ty. The salary of the police is nomi nally $0 a month, but as even this small amount is seldom paid, they divide the plunder with the thieves. The im mense army of cooks, attendants, and others required to keep up the Sultan’s large household is a constant drain up on the people. Abdul Hamid’ $ person al expenses are 60,000,000 francs ($12,- flBQ,0Q0> a year. His favorite attend ant, Kishlar Agra, the Black Eunuch, receives 240,000 francs as his salary, with many rich perquisites. He bears tbe high sounding title of Gardien de la Porte de la Felicite. Bazaine’s Mexican Daughter. Cor. St. Louis Republican. Among the loveliest of all the lo\ ely daughters of the tropics is Eugenie Ba- zaine, daughter of the French exile, Marshal Bazaine. But you will ask how did Marshal Bazaine’s daughter find a home in the Mexican capital. It is a romantic story. Marshal Bazaine was the representative of Napoleon III when the latter espoused the cause of Maximilian, aspirant to the throne ox Mexico, and lie came to Mexico and marshaled the French troops as a rep resentative of the French Emperor, in the interest of the Austrian Duke, until his star began to wane. Bazaine be came owner of a palatial residence, and he levied tribute off the richest ha ciendas. While in Mexico he became enam ored of a Miss de la Pena, a lovely girl, and ere returning to France left a boy and girl, babies, fi'uits of a lawful marriage. As a French exile he is now in Spain, where his Mexican son is also an officer in the army, but his Mexican wife and daughter are living here in a quiet way on the north side of the Ale- mada. His possessions were naturally confiscated by Juarez and the Liberal party, so that the income of the wife and daughter does not afford them op portunities for extravagant display. .The Mexican Government, however, has generously allowed them to retain a home; but, though a fine substantial residence, a stranger would ask in pass ing an explanation of the gloom that seems to surround and overshadow it, Miss Bazaine is one of the prettiest girls in. Mexico. She is about 19 years old, and, being the daughter of a Mexican mother and French father, possesses tlxe united charms of both races. View of Great Salt Lake. Jennie June in Demorest s Monthly. The first view of Great Salt lake is of a silver mirror with arms, in the midst of an immense plain. Only the silver ray water, the blue gray sky and the vast expanse of flat, marshy land. "V\ e were not very favorably impressed; in fact, I was very greatly disappointed with the first glimpse of Salt Lake City, This isnatural where one’s expectations have been raised to an extravagant height. It looked like a third or fourth rate town on exhibition as a show, and not equal to its reputation. There was a crowd of arrivals, tourists and sight 5 . The station was surrounded by- hacks, the strangers beseiged by vocif erous liackmen. We were too accus tomed to the modern conveniences of everyday life in the East to find their reproduction here marvelous. Had w e conie over the trackless wastes, like the early settlers, after months of struggle and warfare with cold and fatigue and weariness, had we penetrated rocky canyons, forded rivers and marched over interminable wildernesses of salt and sage brush, this modern city of the plain would indeed have been a marvel; but we had been whirled hither between a day and a night and were disappoint ed to find it less idyllic than we had pictured and so much like other places. Where were the “streams of the liv ing God” that flowed “directly through the streets?” Where the rich milk and honey of this typically fruitful land ? Where, oh ! where the far famed cleanliness of its vine wreathed cottages and sidewalks? The general aspect was commonplace and second class, and we were not sorry that our stay was to he short. ment. To this end there will be several changes in the colors employed. The most noticeable of these will be in the 2 cent stamp. This is now brown. In the new series it will be of millori green. “Southerners and Northerners,” says the New York Herald, “are one people with a mighty future before them, and there is no earthly reason for sectional irritation. Northern capital and South ern enterprises are being hitched to the same team to draw wealth out of the ground. And when we are engaged in the honest rivalries of business the man who tries to set the people’s teeth on edge and stir up strife where no cause for strife exists is neither American nor patriot. He is a Jacobin politician who would sell his country at auction and pocket the proceeds.” The fifteen great American inven tions of wide-world adoption are : 1, The cotton gin; 2, planing-macliine; 3, the grass mower and'reaper; 4, the rot ary printing press; 5, navigation by- steam; 6, the hot-air engine; 7, the sew ing machine; 8, the India rubber indus- 9, the machine manufacture of try; horseshoes; 10, the sandblast for can ing; 11, the guage lathe; 12, the grain elevator; 13, ai*tificial ice making on large scale; 14, the electric magnet and its practical application; 15, the tele- pllOlitJi | After all that can he said against this country, and we regret that there are some who thoughtlessly indulge in such pastime, this fact remains: Any man who works steadily and judiciously and spends economically, can accumulate money, get a home and live independ ently. He need not overwork himself, and he can live well, educate his cliil- di^n and indulge in many recreations. We have many farmers who are doing this, and they are the happiest men we have. He sat on a log on the banks of an Arkansas creek, when a traveler came along and saluted: “Good day, mister. Waiting for a rise?” “That’s just -what I am waiting fo\ was the reply 7 . “Got a flat-boat up stream ?” “No, sir. I’m a Government engi neer. Congress has appropriated $48, 000 to improve this river, and I’m wait ing for a rise so I can find the stream." “Yes, I gave each of my sons $5,000 and sent them West to make their for tunes. John invested his money in cattle ranch and went to work in ear nest. It grieves me to say that Henry, disregarding my admonitions about honesty and industry, started a faro bank.” “And it all turned out in the usual way, I suppose.” “Yes, Henry owns John’s cattle ranch now and has lent him money to come home with.” Max Weil is the richest Jew in New York, his figure being estimated at $8,000,000. Following him are forty other millionaires of the same race, The Hebrew capital in the Cotton Ex change is over $0,000,000, and of city real estate they hold at least $100,000,- 000. An estimate of the annual trans actions of the wholesale trade of New York done by Hebrews puts the figures at $262,000,000. ‘You know, of course,” said the old man to the young man, “that my daughter has one hundred thousand dollars in her own right?” “Yes, sir.” “And you are not worth a cent.” “I’m poor, sir; hut great Scott! one hundred thousand dollars is enough for two! Why, I’m economical to meanness!” It is practically admitted that if the Atlanta anti-prohibitionists succeed in having another election held under the local option law they will he over whelmingly defeated. In spite of the protestations to the contrary, Atlanta has found prohibition to be a good thing, and she is not likely" to allow the saloons to be re-opened. Eight letters recently read in a Lon don breach of promise case told in very complete way the course of true love. The first letter began, 4 ‘Dear Mr. Smith,” then followed “My Dear John,’ then “My Darling John,” “My own Darling Jack,” “My Darling John,’ “Dear John,” “Dear sir,” “Sir,” and all 5,000. It is not difficult, now, to under stand why there is so much sickness in the country. An Ohio editor lias just invented an infernal machine which he places in an envelope and sends it to those who “re fuse” the paper after a five years’ trial. It explodes and kills the whole family, and the fragments that fall in the yard kill the dog. When we are young we waste a great deal of time in imagining what we will do when we grow older, and when we are old we waste an equal amount of time in wondering why we waited so long before we began to do anything. There is a Virginia law, passed many years ago, but still extant, which im poses a fine of fifty pounds of tobacco on a man absenting himself from church one month without valid excuse. A Boston man sent a coffin to a friend as a practical joke, and the man sold it to an undertaker for $17, and is leady to be made the victim of just such an other humorous trick. It. is said that of the 60,000’,000 people in the United States, only 19,000,000 are church members. It would seem that there is a good field at home foi the missionary societies. One of the most senseless statements ever made is that women go to church to see what other women wear. They go so that what they wear may be seen by other woirifiib In Brief, and to the Point. Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to goodnature. , The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. . „ , , , , Greasv food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many otliei things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics.

DEALER IN DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES j SNEAD’S OLD STAND, WEST SIDE PUBLIC SQUARE. NEW GOODS, Crying for the Moon. Selected. There was once a child who, like Daniel O’Connel, the great statesman, cried for the moon. He had everything that the world can give. Young friends, rich toys, all the good things- of life, but whenever Ins nurse carried him to the window, when he was sleepless or fretful, and he saw the pretty, round silver moon, lie would cry for it. Perhaps he was older than the other Babies, or had stronger visual intelli gence ? Or it may be the cold, chaste orb riding in its sea of blue pos sessed some occult power to charm his infant senses. Be that as it may, lie would reach out his little arms and cry with real distress: ‘I ’ant the moon! I ant the moon. Thf-i'-e is a deiriahd for good boys. The boy who is honest} calmest and in dustrious will riot be long out of a job. There are lots of prosperous business men, merchants and mechanics, who are constantly on the lookout for good boys. They do. not look for them on the street, however, hut in some sort of employment. They have no use for an idle boy. He is too apt to make an idle man. The boy who jumps into the first job that offers, whether it is an agreea ble one or not, is the boy who is chosen when the boy hunter comes along.

One of the questions asked a teacher by the committee at an examination in a Maine town recently was: “What would you do in case of a drowned man ?” The teacher promptly answer ed: “If the man was actually drowned I would make preparations to bury him as soon as possible.” A Jefferson young man kissed hisdul- icina about twenty times the other night on a stretch, and when he stop ped to get breath and dust the chalk off his coat to make a new start tears filled her eyes as she said in a sad tone of voice: “Ah!
