8Hit Jerald and gittertm. Newnan, Ga., Friday, MarcH 9,1888. Bridging the Chasm. To one of our resorts there came, ten years ago, a dignified Southern Gener al, with his wife, and a daughter so lovely that all who saw her were charmed. The first few weeks the Southern visitors were quite exclusive and frowned upon any attempts of the citizens of the North toget acquainted with them. They came simply for a change of air and did not care for soci ety. A Northern General, with his family, stopped at the same house, and there was a son in that family. There almost always is a son in a Northern family when there is a pretty girl around. The two Generals were intro duced, but for weeks they only passed the time of day, and were so dignified that it was a wonder they did not break their backs. The lady from the South became interested in the young gentle man of the North, and before anybody had realized that a calamity had befall en the two families, they were head and ears in love. The Southern Gener al was mad, and there were stormy times about the cool resort on the lake. The old Southerner stamped his feet and said they should never marry, and the Northern General kept cool and said if the young folks wanted to mar ry he didn’t know any reason why they shouldn’t, and as he was in love with the girl too, and would give all he pos sessed for her as a daughter, he swore he would see that she was properly eloped with; that old Confederate could go no further. The old Confederate said he would shoot up enough Yankees for a “mess” if they tried any such wooden nutmeg game on his family, and so they had it until the summer was gone, and—well, you know how it is your selves. The young people coaxed, and finally the Southern General said they could do as they pleased, and they were married. To-day there are four boys and two girls that have come to bless that union of the North and South. Two of the boys have been named after two of the greatest Confederate Gen erals, and two have been named after two great Northern Generals, and sev eral months of the summer you can see that okl Confederate grandfather in Wisconsin, the guest of the Northern grandfather, playing with those six youngsters, and several months of 'win ter the Northern General is visiting the South to see those children grow, and it is a grand sight to see the two grand fathers bending over a cradle looking at the youngest child, and arguing as to which grand-parent the child resem bles. The old fellowsare good friends; the Southern General thinks his North ern son-in-law is one of God’s noble men, and the Northern General knows that his beautiful daughter-in-law is the sweetest woman on earth. Ten thousand such weddings between the Northern and Southern young people would forever silence those who may wish to see the two sections at enmity. led on this question. It is fully under, stood at last. The organs of the mo nopolies in the great cities which farm out their columns to booming paper towns, and Senators in Congress who are sent there as the representatives of the great corporations, may seek to create the impression that the people prefer cheap whiskey to cheap clothing, but it is not true anywhere in the M est or South, and this will be made plain when for the first time during thirty years the issue is fairly presented to the people at the polls. How Baby Learns to Talk. E. P. Powell in The Open Court. Exceedingly interesting is the process of language development in a babe. No student in anthropology is more fertile. The babe’s first cries are purely in stinctive, and therefore purely animal. It’s consonants are m. and b. labials and liquids—used with the open vowels. It does not use the genial tubercle; nor for many weeks the frontal brain. Its second list of sounds move further back, and are g, goo, gutturals of the sim plest sort. This g sound, with its nat ural associate I, becomes the a basis of a primitive language—the clicking and glicking of Ainos and Hottentots. Next observe the babe as it watches your mouth and laughs at your cooing and your baby talk. It finally sets its own articulating organs in motion and imitates you. The consequence soon is simple use ot the frontal brain and genial tubercle. The goo-goo is followed by che-che, and soon after by modulation. These are not the first use of truly human organs, but the first cerebrated sounds, as dis tinct from instinctive and inherited ut terances. The steps toward a highly complex cerebrated language are there after rapidly taken. l> AVe have to bear in mind that the babe organically follows historic evo lution, and is an epitome of past pro gress. So, also, in his speech he moves on and on over the pathway of the past, and reviews it all. An intelli gent child expresses approbation and disapprobation by the same sounds that are used by adult monkeys. The sav age hardly uses cerebrated sounds at all. The refinement of language has ever consisted in eliminating the ani mal inheritance. The child’s use of gestures is also inherited. lie does not need to leagn to use his hands ; only to secure muscular strength to direct them. His play is at first purely ani mal frolic, rejoicing in shouts and shrieks that later he does not find nec essary to his enjoyment. His laughing and crying can only be understood as a language, as they surely are also in adults. The evolution of laughter would be a delightful branch of my topic, but a theme too much by itself. It is enough to note in passing that not only do animals laugh, but they smile. Laughter is even not uncommon among fowls. I have owned acock that had a most distinct cachinnation. Georgia and Reform. .ouisville Courier-Journal. The great State of Georgia is solid or tariff reform. A few newspapers ind some noisy politicians have tried to :reate a different impression. But the ittempt to organize opposition to Sena- ;or Colquitt, because lie favored a re- orm of the tariff, failed, and a recent •anvass of all the State papers show an ilmost unanimous support of the Presi- lent and the principle of tariff reform is laid down in his message. The Evening Journal of Atlanta sev eral weeks ago sent to each of the 150 xlitors of weekly newspapers in Geor gia, a letter asking: “If botii cannot be secured, which would you prefer, a reduction of the rariff on the necessaries of life or repeal if internal revenue tax on whiskey and robacco ?” Up to this date eighty-eight replies liave been received; seventy-eight are pronounced in favor of tariff reform, ind ten either oppose it, or are rather mixed. This is significant. AVe suppose Georgia may be taken as a fair repre sentative of the new South. It has suffered from the political and corpo rate influences of a ring of money makers and speculators, with Senator Brown at its head and Atlanta as the center of its operations. Every appeal has been made to the cupidity of the people. Tlufceitizens of Georgia have been told that they owe all their pros perity to the tariff. The cotton mills of Georgia have been warned that tariff reform meant the ruin of that industry. In picturesque and romantic language the moonshiners of Georgia have been described as persecuted martyrs, hunted bv savages with warrants from the After Years of Separation. New York World. Curious meetings happen at e’-ery session of Congress, in which old school fellows see each other again after a long time. Tom Heed, as a young man, went to California and there met a young fellow named Jim Loutit, who was a blacksmith’s son, and the two struck up quite an acquaintance to gether. But they separated, not to see each other again until they came to gether during the Forty-ninth Congress on the floor of the House. William M. Evarts and Chief Justice A\ aite were schoolboys at Yale in the same class, and they did not meet after their grad uation at any length until both, as the greatest lawyers of the country, were appointed counsel of the Geneva arbi tration. Isidor Itayner, of Maryland, Senator Daniel, of Virginia, and Sena tor Faulkner, of AY est ATrginia, were all at college at the University of Y ir- ginia at the same time, and John In galls and President Garfield first came together while students at AVilliams College, Massachusetts. The first day of Congress, Rayner, of Maryland, sat beside a rather rough looking Congress man from the South, and noted that this member looked at him rather scru- tinizingly. At last he turned to him and said: long engaged the attention of special ists, and so satisfactory has been its working that a duplicate of it has late ly been formally established. In these colonies the lunatics are boarded out with the inhabitants, live as members of the family, assist in their work and have liberty to move about at will. The regularity and healthiness of the life led by the afflicted inhabitants of Glieel restores a considerable propor tion of them to their right mind. Gheel, however, is in the Flemish speaking portion of Belgium, and it has of late years been found that patients from the Walloon country who speak only French, or the AYalloon patois, were awkwardly placed and their recov ery retarded by the absence of ready means of communication with those about them. The experiment was therefore made of establishing a French speaking colony at Lieurneux, in the AYalloon country, near Spa; and it has been so successful that it lias now been placed upon a permanent basis. The cost of pauper lunatics to their com munes does not exceed a franc a day. Neither at Gheel nor at Lieurneux has it been found that constant intercourse with lunatics has increased the tenden cy toward insanity among the natives. She Wanted Cold Facts. Boston Courier. “Yes,” said the young man, as he threw himself at the feet of the pretty school teacher, “I love you, and would go to the world’s end for you.” “You could not go to the end of the world for me, James. The world, or the earth as it is called, is round like a ball, slightly flattened at the poles. One of the first lessons in elementary geography is devoted to the shade of the globe. You must have studied it when you were a boy.” “Of course I did, but—” “And it is no longer theory. Circum navigators have established the fact.” “I know, but what I meant was that I would do anything to please you. Ah ! Minerva, if you knew the aching void—” “There is no such thing as a void, James. Nature abhors a vacuum ; but, admitting that there could be such a thing, how could the void you speak of be a void if there was an ache in it ?” “I meant to say that my life would be lonely without you ; that you are my daily thought and my nightly dream. I would go anywhere to be with you. If you were in Australia or at the north pole I would fly to you. I-” “Fly ! It will be another century before men can fly. Even when the laws of gravitation are successfully overcome there will still remain, says a late scientific authority, the difficulty of maintaining a balance—” “Well, at all events,” exclaimed the youth, “I’ve got a pretty good balance in the savings bank and 1 want you to be my wife. There !” “ AVell, James, since you put it in that light, I—” Let the curtain fall. And a word with you, Mr. Dress Coat! You are young; you have a good position, you expect to rise in the world and make money and success in your work. Very well ; but to do that you must take care of yourself. No guardian angel is going to follow you around and keep off bad colds, and pneumonia, and the effects of too much champagne and too many late suppers. You’ve got to pa}* for your own indis cretions, and pay heavily, too.

They were talking of atmospheric in fluence on the growth and develop ment of the affections as exemplified by summer resort love-making in con tradistinction to that prevailing in AYaslnngton society and hotel parlors. “AYere you ever at Mountain Lake, Giles county, Virginia?” he asked, with an intense geographic yearn in his soulful voice. “No,” she replied, casting down her eyes ; “is it nice there ?” “Delightful.” he said ; “by day the sun is soft; by night the moon and stars make love in the clear skies; the moun tains rise to kiss the clouds ; the birds sing to the nodding flowers, and from purple peaks which melt into blue you can see into three States.” “Oh, love ! oh, rapture !” she mur mured: “Is one of them the state of matrimony?” ! ! ! ! nehievernen ts in this field, and consisting of choice extracts from new books and unu^n journals The following are the names of iome of the leading authors whose articles may he expected to appear in the pages ol the Eclectic for the coming year. —AUTHORS.— Rt.

STEEL ENGRAVINGS. Tlio Eclectic comprises eacli year two large volumes of over 1.7(H) pages. Each ot these volumes contains a fine steel engrav ing, which adds much to the attraction ot the magazine. Some fashionable ladies are not satis fied with ready-made fans, but must liave them made to order; they are, however, satisfied with Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup at 25 cents and take it re gularly. “One fire burns out another’s burn- in 0 ',” and most pain suffers more to be cured, but Salvation Oil is painless and certain. It costs only 25 cents. An advertisement reads: “Wanted, a young man to be partly out of doors and partly behind the counter,” and a young lady has written to ask: “What will be the result when the door slams!” The youssg man who would waste time kissing a girl’s hand would eat the brown paper bag and leave the hot house grapes for some one else.

I pulled the buggy out of the road, hitched the horse to a fence and hoofed it along to the nearest farm house. When I had told my story the farmer said to the hired man: “ ‘John, he may be honest, or he may be after pork. I’ll hold him here with the shotgun while you go and see if his horse and buggy are there.’ “He ordered me to sit down, and then he took a seat in front of me with a gun across his knee, and my every movement was watched until John’s return.

Except the Life of Lincoln and the War Ar ticles, no more important series has ever been undertaken bv The Century than this of Mr Kennan’s. Wit h the previous prepar ations of lour years’ travel and study in Rus sia and Siberia, the author undertook a jour ney of 15.000 miles for the special investiga tion here required. An introduction from the Russian Minister of the Interior admitted him to the principal mines and prisons, where he became acquainted with some three hun dred.
