2!hc Jerald and ^ducrtifjci;. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Nov. 11, 1887. READING MATTKU OX KVKKY PAGE. IMPULSE TO THOUGHT. Friend, you must die'. Perchance the thought Comes o'er you lilce a lightning's flash; You realize thut Life is can-lit As in a vise, between the clash Of Soul and Body, and the strife But turns and twists the captured Life. All is turmoil, and Man a slave That cringes to a mortal breath Whose short possession brings the grave; Whose only certainty is death. Perhaps, from out this earthly gloom You seek bright paths beyond the to/nb? ORIGINALITY OF THE ENGLISH. Perhaps, beside some dear dead face You watched the long and weary night; You missed the sweet departed grace, Tiie smile, the voice, the loving light That Tilled those glazed and half shut eyes. In deep distress, your tearful cries Re-echoed through the solemn air; You strove in vain to raise the dead; The pale lips smiled at your despair, Your hot tears wet the peaceful head. Perhaps, alsive that gentle clod. Vain sorrow turned to steps to God? This is the highest end of fear. Yet savor of tiie cudgeled hound To crouch affrighted, by tiie bier, Be lashed to heaven at a bound. Nor seems it yet a brave man’s place To weep a passage into grace! There is a power, to all innate, A force unshackled, high and free; As firm in mortal as his fate, That often wields this high decree. Let us, together, hand in hand. Through love religion understand. —William Wallace Cook. AN INTERESTING CHARACTER. Tlio Gauclio of the Pampas and IJis Pecu liarities—Courteous and Cruel. The Gaucho (gowclio) of the pampas is the most interesting character on the continent. He is the descendant of the aristocratic Spanish don and the women of the Guarani race, a species unknown to any other part of the world, whose nearest likeness is the Redouin of Arabia. He is at once the most indolent and the most active of human beings, for when he is not in the saddle, devouring srace on the back of a tireless bronco, lie is sleeping in apathetic indolence among his mistresses or gambling with his chums. Half savage and half courtier, the Gaucho is as courteous as he is cruel, and will thrum an air on the native mandolin with the same ease and non chalance as he will murder a fellow being or slaughter a steer. He recog nizes no law hut his own will and the unwritten code of the cattle range, and all violations of this code are punished by banishment or death. Whoever of fends him must light or fly, and his ven geance is as enduring as it is vigilant. He never shoots, or strikes with his fist, and his only weapons are the short knife •which is never absent from his hand or his belt, the lasso, and the “bolas,” im plements of his trade, offensive and de fensive. A light between Gauclios is always to the death, and it is the duty of him who kills .to see that his victim is decently buried, and the widow and orphans cared for. The widow, if she pleases him, be comes his mistress, and the orphans grow up to be Gauclios under his tutelage. As superstitious as a Hindoo, peaceable when sober, but regardless of God and man wh n drunk, as brave as a lion, as active as a panther, with an endurance equal to any test, faithful to his friends, as implacable as fate to any one who of fends him, he has exercised a powerful influence upon the destiny of the Argen tine Republic, and retarded civilization until overcome by an increased immigra tion of foreigners. The Argentines oyce had a Gaucho dictator. Don Manuel Rosas, “The Eter nal," so he called himself, who ruled with a despotism of iron and blood for twenty-two years—from 1830 to 1853. He was the son of a wealthy Gauc.ho of the same name, and commanded a regi ment of his kind in the war for indepen dence. So powerful did he become that it was an easy step from the chieftain ship of the Gauclios to the presidency of the republic, and tinallv to the head of an absolute despotism, which existed for nearly a quarter of a century, in deliauee of the constitution and the laws. The day of the Gaucho is passing. Immi gration and civilization have driven him to the extreme frontier. Like the North American Indian, he decays when do mesticated, and a tamo Gaucho is always n drunkard, a loafer and a thief.—Will iam Elerov Curtis in Harper’s Magazine. \ Rare Winch Produces Men of Marked Independence anil Executive Ability. The English race is marked by the power of producing independent and ex ecutive characters in every plane of men tal activity. There i3 no lack of great mathematicians, great philosophers, great poets, great naturalists, great generals, who are distinctively great Englishmen. But the nation possesses, in addition, the unique power of producing men who are to a great extent detached from social un'oundings; who are not the product <»f the race nor of the day, or any theory of heredity, or transmission, or environ ment that is in accordance with the usual color of national or social phenom ena. The average level of the English race is commonplace, unidcalistic. rever ent of the pa.-t. unicon ^elastic. They are slow to receive abstractions, to transmute new general -conceptions into rules of conduct—certainly* more so than the French, possibly more so than the Ger mans; hut in the power of producing from time to time eccentric, unclassified individuals of marked originality and in dependence they are distinguished from any of the other nations which consti tute what is called European civilization. A great German rises from his fellows in possession of a German genius; he is a Goethe or a-Bismarck or a Helmholtz. The only unconventional great German man of letters that I can recall at present is Heine, and Heine is not a German, hut a Jew of genius trying to be a Greek. The great Frenchmen are also great in the narrow limitations of French great ness. Powerful and original as is the genius of Victor Hugo, it cannot unmoor him from his anchorage in Parisian thought. But are there any manifesta tion of race development on the con tinent tiiat are parallel to the occult spirit ual force which produced in England men of the type of Marlowe and Coleridge and Shelley? Burns and Milton and Dryden and Cow per are legitimate race develop ments; hut from what obscure regions, from wliat hidden fountains of Norse or Celtic or Teutonic ancestry were drawn the germs around which were built such minds as those of Shelley and Coleridge, minds not only un-English, hut in a cer tain sense unearthly! They are flowers; but not like the blossoms of the century plant, for whose color and bloom the juices have been slowly segregated by natural laws—whose formative cell could be discerned by the botanist’s microscope long before it was unfolded in the crown ing bud. They are rather what the bot anist calls sports—abnormal develop ments from a seed, warning us that nature holds in restraint creative powers for which evolution cannot account. The explanation of this power of the English people may lie deep in the in scrutable laws which govern the result of race fusion. Tiie islands, occupied originally by British Celts, have been in vaded by Angles, Danes and Norman Franks in succession. Ail of these were races of marked individuality—of indi vidual force and contrasted features. Perhaps we can say broadly that the Celts were, as a race, imaginative, ex pressive. fond of color: the Angles—the prevailing element—phlegmatic, stub born, silent, slow, hilt holding firmly to the Teutonic conception of freedom for the landholder, and tenacious of indi vidual right; the Danes, self reliant, en terprising, capable of high enthusiasm— sons of the sea: the Norman-Franks, ad ministrators. men of affairs and polity, men of the world at home in the world of men, and inclined to social display and elegance.—Temple Bar. Educated to a Trade. Trade schools, as institutions where th-.i industrial arts are sjiecially taught are called, are rapidly gaming a foothold in this country. The apprentice system never can lie revived in this country to such an extent as will enable the hun dreds of young men who desire to learn a trade to do so. The master workmen in the various trades have neither the time nor disposition to teach young men the secrets of their business. Even if they had, the rules of the various unions limit the number of apprentices, and an ap prenticeship is about as hard to obtain as a scholarship in the army or naval schools of the government. The establishment of trade schools is, therefore, a practical educational movement that meets with encouragement from the associations of master workmen in the various trades. These schools, if they do not turn out thoroughly skilled workmen, do furnish young men with a ground work which, with practical experience, will very quickly convert them into skilled artisans. This fact is shown by the experience of the hundreds of young men. be tween 17 and 21 years of age, who have laid the foundation of their knowledge of their trades in New York trade schools during the past six years. The instructors there are skilled workmen, and the personal attention by them to each individual student results in the very rapid acquirement by the scholar of I the necessary rudiments of his trade. In j a busy workshop such personal and con- . stant attention and the immediate cor- ! rection of false methods or errors of judgment are not possible. It is no wonder, then, that young men seeking . to learn a trade make such very rapid j and seemingly phenomenal progress as they do at the New York trade schools. Their faults are corrected immediately on being made, and they are taught how to correct and avoid them.—New York Times. R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. Telegraphic Cipher Coiles. Telegraphic cipher codes, the use of which was, up to within a few years, confined to a comparative few, are now prepared for almost every kind of busi ness which patronizes the wires to any extent. Each commercial line lias its specially constructed code. Several of these are Chicago inventions, including one or two designed for cable telegraph ing. The copyright of a popular code is a valuable property. The one used most by grain speculators netted its owner a competence. Not many mercantile con cerns own exclusive codes. Probably the most elaborate commercial code in the world is published in New York, and it is xeally a model of ingenuity. It contains 100,000 words, drawing upon every lan guage in Europe. It is arranged in tables in such a manner that a Chicago mer chant may communicate tlirough it with twenty or thirty European correspond ents, using prticticaUy a different cipher for each. Half a dozen kinds of business, with their peculiar phrases and expres sions, are covered by this book, which is sold at $50 a copy. The military cipher used bv the army during the rebellion. ‘ which eluded all'attempts by the Conted- cratos to latliom its secrets, was for many years after the war used by a well known detective agency’.—Chicago News. Love of Brothers aiul Sisters. A girl is generally very unselfish toiler brother. You don’t often hear of a young fellow giving up liis pocket money to his sister; he usually growls if she wants him to take her to the theatre. But if a boy’s in a little trouble his sister will stand by him like a brick. She'll not only give up her pocket money, but she'll go and wheedle some more out of her father to give it to him. She'll fib, she’ll prevari cate. she’ll beg. He’ll hang about out- side until she gets it and comes and gives it to him. Then he willgrab his hat and bolt out of the house. And she does not mind if he does not thank her particular ly. He’s her brother.and—well—a woman always looks at a kindness done to a man as its own reward. A hoy can generally wheedle money out of his mother. But i if she can’t give it to him out of the household cash or her own pocket she lias a tendency to spoil all by telling Jus father what she wants the money for. A girl cannot succeed with her mother very often, but she does not often fail with the old man. And she's always more inge nious in inventing necessities for it. A girl, with all the more limited acknowl edged needs of womankind for money, will find at any time a more reasonable excuse for requiring it tlian a man with innumerable natural wants. God bless the sisters, anyway. Any one of them is worth a whole family of brothers.—San Francisco Chronicle. .Javanese Princess at Her Toilet. In stature Mattah-Djarri was some what above the ordinary Javanese woman, who cannot he called tall; but in symmetry and delicacy of figure and grace of limb she had no compeer. Both were full and exquisitely rounded, as those of her countrywomen are in gen eral, which is imputed to the suppressed action of the water in bathing twice daily, by pouring or throwing it on top of the head in the eastern fashion, from whence it flows down in trickling streams all over the body, and as the years go on, gradually causing the limbs and skin to become round, firm, smooth and polished. In Mattah-Djarri’s case this effect was doubtless aided in no small degree by long friction with delicate oils, and the palms of Djoolo’s hands. The faithful babu had bathed her every morning and evening since she was born, in soft, per fumed water; after which she annointed her body and limbs with the highly scented lang-a-chandana (oil of sandal wood), rubbing it into the pores of the skin till the latter was smooth and dry, then polishing it with the light and deli cate bore kuning, a yellow, perfumed rice powder, used by people of rank. Every motion of the beautiful girl was thesexpression of grace and harmony, to which was added a tranquil ease and dig nity, that impressed every one with a sense of her extreme loveliness of char acter and person, combined with the pure priental beauty of her face, to gain for her, among her own people, the rare honor of being likened to the Widadaris (children of heaven).—“A Princess of Java.” STEAM ENGINES.

COLE MANUFACTURING CO., Newnan, Ga. TO COUNTRY PRINTERS! A Trick of Oriental Servants. A lady in Brooklyn has just had a singular experience. She engaged a Japanese servant to do up stairs work. He appeared in the afternoon, was all bows and smiles, and at dinner that evening waited on the table in excellent style. The lady thought she had a jewel of a servant. After dinner lie re quested to he allowed to go to New York to see about some clothes. He went, and that was the last seen of Jap No. 1. She tried another, with the same result. A third was tried. He stayed two days, ! and then left early one morning before breakfast. The lady was nonplused over the matter. She told a friend who | had been in San Francisco the circum stances. This friend said that liouse- j keepers there had found ' that when a Chinese servant left a place he didn't like he would put some mark, usually of a character so slight as not to be noticed, oiq the kitchen wall. The next one, of course, would see it, and thus learn what his predecessor thought of the place and act accordingly. The first servant the lady employed didn't like the situation for some reason, and so left the place and probably his mark. The others saw it ! and left" on account of it. The lady says | she is through with oriental servants.— ; New York Evening Sun. Complete. NeAVspaper Outfit For Sale!

An old friend of his dying, left a widow in destitute circumstances. Stevens bought the property at sheriff’s sale and continued the widow in posses sion. To kecj* off grasping creditors he had himself appointed trustee for the old lady, and on the back of the deed she at tested the fact that lie was her trustee to the full value of the property. There is. however, not a scrap of paper throwing light on this transaction, unless it maybe a letter from Stevens, which descendants of the old lady, who is long since dead, allege they have, but which Mr. McPher son thus far has vainly tried to see. The property is worth from $800 to $1,000, and is the veritable stone house in which Gen. Lee had his headquarters when the hattle of Gettysburg was fought.—Lan caster Inquirer. Great Place to Spank a Baby. She stood in the pressroom of a country daily, where the agile “fly” of the press was slapping down the papers with ad mirable precision. She was a motherly looking creature, with a blue cotton um brella. “That ‘fly’ delivers the papers at the rate of 1,500 an hour,” modestly re- ; marked the proud proprietor. “Fifteen hundred an hour!” she ex- ! claimed. “Mercy on us! You don’t ; mean it!” And then, moved by motherly instinct, she added: “Wliat a place to spank a baby!”—Somerville Journal. Manufacture all kinds of Carriages, Buggies, Carts and Wagons.
