Joseph Clisby, Esq., lay dead at his
house in Vineville, where, for months,
he lias been confined by a mortal mal
ady. The sympathies of the whole
community to-day go out to the affllt ted
family that to the last—when hope
itself was colorless—clung to the possi
bility of recovery, exhausted science,
and lavished the richest treasures of
of affection upon him in vain.
Freed at last from the sufferings of
its earthly home, the spirit of our friend
has passed into that eternity which is
as mysterious, but not broader nor
deeper than the mercy of God. There
(hay it rest.
Joseph Clisby was born at Medford,
Mass., May 31, 1S18, and thus at his
death-had nearly completed his 07th
year. Having chosen the printer’s vo
cation he entered at the early age of 1-1
under the old law or custom of seven
years' apprenticeship, the printing and
publishing house of Flagg & Gould,
at Andover, Mass., then of high te
pate in the printing world. In
the autumn of 1839, a few
months after attaining his ma
jority, he came to the South, to Quin
cy, Fla., as foreman in the office of
the Quincy Sentinel, then about to be
established by Mr. Joshua Knowles.
Ho became proprietor and editor .of
this paper alter a few years, removed it
to Tallahassee, changed its name to the
Florida Sentinel, and made it the lead
ing paper ol tho Whig party in that
State. On the death of his wife at the
qlose of 1852 he sold out his business,
broke up his home in Tallahassee, and
after a few years of rest and delibera
tion and soon after his second mar
riage, established himself in Macon as
editor of the Georgia Telegraph,
at first a weekly but afterward
made a daily paper. In this po
sition he continued until, at some time
during the late war, bis health so failed
as to render cessation of all mental ef
fort absolutely necessary, and com
pelled the sale oi his interest in the
piper. On his recovery he entered
again on editorial life, now become a
second nature to him, resuming his
connection with tho same paper and
continuing it until the return and in

The Real Ve. The Ideal.
There never was a more singular
error so generally accepted abroad as
the idea that nnder the old system the
Southern women performed no labor.
As a matter of fact, this particular class
labored incessantly, and the larger the
number of their slaves the harder the
work they performed.
It may be true that few of them
labored “to earn a dollar ’ directly,but
it is also true that there were compara
tively few who did not labor to save the
dollars — nsy, even cents. The peculiar
Southern system made the end of the
year the only season for settlements, but
the fact tliatthe good house wife saw her
reward in what had been saved by her
skill and labor, and had not received a
stated amount at the end of each week
in the shape of money, does not prove
a failure to earn. The Southern wo
man did labor, and her labor was’as
effective from an economic point of
view as the labor of any woman in the
world. She cut and made her own,
her children’s and her servants’, clo
thing, with whatever help was
necessary. She kept house and
kept her shelves supplied
with the pickled, preserved and dried
products of every season laid by with
her own hands. She superintended the
poultry yard, the garden, the orchard,
the beehives and the dairy, and'thus
gave not only the full labor of one per
son to the general business of her hus
band, .but exercised a judgment over
departments that were absolutely nec
essary to his success, and which money
could not have supplied.
Many people do not call the cardfcnd
instruction of children labor, bat it is,
loving though it be, a trying and time-
consuming labor. Under the old system
the Southern woman cared for and
taught her own children with a de
gree of thoroughness not known in
any other section of the country. Pub
lic schools there were not; private
schools were far apart, and privatejtu-
tors exceptions. That these Southern
children were well taught, the world
that has beheld the stripling minds
mature and bear fruit can testify. The
soil from which sprung the soldiers of
the South, her statesmen and scholars,
was the carelully raked and weeded soil
of infancy tended by the Southern
woman. Tiie distinguishing character
istics of the Southern people,even of this
new day and generation, aro bequeath
ed from mother, to child, more than
from sire to son.
Any one who knows the South knows
these fact. When the ante-bellnm
Southern woman is pictured, sitting
with folded hands, fanned by an at
tendant, or lollingin Oriental indolence
within a gaudy hammock, or queening
idleness while the slave tolls, tho ar
tist may he set down os a grossly de
ceived person. When the hands of the
woman were folded ’twas for an eter
nal rest.
She labored then os sho labors now
for husband, parent and child, hope
fully, lovingly, unceasingly. Queen
she was and qaeen she is still, to whom
all look up In roverence, rememboring
that valor has not accomplished more
for tiie fair land that acknowledges her
dominion than the faith and work she
has lavished upon it.
Within three days Mr. Cleveland’s
choice of cabinet officers will be given
to the public officially. Already most
of the favored names are known with
sufficient certainty to justify the belief
that the construction of the cabinet
has been accomplished in wisdom. *
It cannot be denied that Mr. Cleve
land has apparently bfcen compelled to
slight persons who have grown gray in
the service of their party and contrib
uted overwhelmingly to render it suc
cessful in the late conflict. But the
public will readily bear in mind
that there aro other opportunities
in the President’s hands to con
fer favors scarcely less conspicuous
than is offered in the construction of a
cabinet. It is yet an accepted fact that
what has so far been accomplished
followed an exhaustive examination of
tiie situation and is founded upon the
testimony of the safest advisers within
the party.
We are led to believe from the char
acter of the men who have by general
consent been placed at Mr. Cleveland’s
side, that his administration will open
under fair auspices. This we are free
to admit, and sincerely hope for. The
Telegraph has left no room for mis
take as to its position during
the Presidential campaign and after
wards. AVe did not, nor do we now,
think that Mr. Cleveland was the host
choice of the party; and we have dis
trusted the power of its leaders to free
him from claims of tempo
rary allies. For this reason we have
chosen to voice the sentiments of
large division of the party who thought
with us, and demanded shearing. This
we have done faithfully, and done well.
AVe believe it has accomplished a good
purpose, and are satisfied.
AVith such men in his cabinet as
Garland, Bayard and Lamar it is im
possible for the new administration to
begin in error. Only the clearest un
derstanding could have drawn these
men from the Senate to Mr. Cleve
land’s fireside as members of
his official family. That they
have consented to become respon
sible for the acts of the party for four
years; that they have been called to
their new positions by the President-
elect, fills us with hope and with confi
dence. Until we are forced away from
each a position by measures wo cannot
indorse, and we do not apprehend such
a crisis, tho TBLEonAPii will sustain
Mr. Cleveland to the best of its ability.

John W. Daniel.
The eloquence of A’irginia’s favorite
orator, J n AV. Daniel, as well as
tho wisdom and patriotism of tho man,
have again been brought prominently
before the country by his recent ad
dress upon the dedication of thoAVash-
ington monument. Tire presa in every
section commends him.
It has always been a source of un
disguised regret that Daniel should have
been defeatod for Governor 'oi Vir
ginia and thus checked in the midst
of a promising career. The Old Do
minion, who has given to the service of
the whole country so many eminent
statesmen, ought to odd one more by
the advancement of John AV. Daniel.
Glancing over the political field, we
do not behold a figure so fitted for Ben

be a graceful act if A’irginia, in whose

Tiie Telegraph lias been over
whelmed with congratulations and
thanks from all directions with refers
ence to its course touching the cause
that has produced so much excitement
in Macon during the past week.
AVhilo we are gratified at these ex
pressions of approval and the generous
confidence which has been so oiten
manifested, we aro reminded that at
last wo have only discharged os best
we knew how a duty that we owed the
people of this good city, tho State of
Georgia and the South.
AVhat concerns ns most and is of
most valuo as a result, demonstrated
at the cost of so much unnecessary
mortification to some of our people, is
tho fact, that the noblo sentiments
and traditions of our fathers still live
and are cherished.
Affiictcd as the South lias been for
twenty y%ars, wo bavo not experienced
an evil more injurious to our civiliza
tion than the debauchery of public
sentiment, through that class of news
papers whose columns aro continually
filled with foul and obscene publica
tions.
Tho slow bat steady growth in de
mand for this class of matter, has mis
led some Southern newspapers into
believing that chastity, virtue and de
cency no longer existed in tiie land.
So far as this community is concern
ed this delusion has been dispelled. To
its honor, be it said, it revolts against
this effort to prostitute tho noble pro
fession of journalism to the baso pur
poses of venal publishers, and -tastes of
depraved readers.
AVhat haa occurred is known to the
people of this State. AVhat has oc

I confess my liking for the snug little par

cant moment with constant companionship
The book-shelves, the desk, and other articles

same hand, that were all the more significant
to mo when I taw so many proofs, that this
skill In creating beauty was closely allied with
quite as fine an ability ln tbe practical artl-
stnship ot housekeeping.
This pleasant picture of a cottage
home and touching tributts to the
wifely affection and taste that has nour
ished the delicate song soul of the poet,
as it grew to perfection, is supplement
ed by a vivid picture of the poet at
work:
Here, In this enclosure of beauty, a library
of suggestions to the eye, tbe “laureate of the
South" produces those poBmt which, by tbe
common consent of English, French, German
and American critic* of the highest reputa-
tatlon, have placed him in the front rank of
genius in our country. Standing at his desk
he bends slightly forward toward the page
whereon thought, image and emotion are rap
idly taking metrical form by that % mysterious
self-impulse which animates and directs the
work of tho original imagination. There is a
paase now and then in the hand, and a sud
den contraction of tho brow, and a fixed In
tentness of the eye as though waiting for some
distant object to come into nearer view; and
thea, the pencil still in hand, there Is a quick
step to the window, or a turn round the room,
followed by a hurried resumption of his atti
tude at the desk. The gaze into tho remote
nebulio has been successful; and now tho
tightened muscles aro relaxed—the face is
open-the eyes emit a fuller brilliance and tho
fingers are taxed to keep up with the burning
brain. This is pencil work—tho pen comes
afterwards. Invention over with its glow, tho
creation is laid aside, till the hour for criti
cism comes with its microscopic analysts.
And then the conscience of caro and finish
fulfills its scholarly task, and the poem is
ready for some foreign or home magazine.
What this “Laureate of the South* *
ha8 accomplished is now tho world’s
property. It is impossible here to pro
duce the fine criticism of his works by
Dr. Lipscomb. Wo may only give two
paragraphs which outline the conditions
under which Mr. Hayn6’s genius has
been developed, as intimately connect*
ed with “the depth, fervor and distinc
tiveness of his personality;”
Toll is the bull of all high trust. Toll has
boenln this home for some eighteen ysars;
toll is still there; divinely ordered toil; toll
for man and woman; and, of course, the
blessed trust that comes from inch toll, that is
ever old as a routine but ever new as an Inspi
ration. I recall no picturo in my life as touch

AN OLD-TIME BARBER.
The Way the Art Tonsoria! was Conduct
ed Forty Yoars Ago.
Few York Telegram,
A few evenlnu since a reporter, with a
view of undergoing a ehaving operation,
entered a barber-sbop on Sixth avenue.
The artist is apparently aged 60 years. His
gray hair hung in locks, which, with his
neatly trimmed side whiskers and quaint,
old-fa«h!oned garments, gives him the ap
pearance ol “one of the old school."
Tho writer went through his ehaving
process In silence, only relieved by the
measured ticking of the huge clock and
the ewitter of a canary blri, which was in
an antique-lookingengeoverhis head. The
artist msde no reference to the opera, the
latest news, the weather or the dull times.
He merely at intervals politely asked his
visitor “if the razor went easy." After
the usual wind-up with puff and powder
the reporter continued to aik this Figaro
if he would be good enough to give him
some information connected with his bus
iness.
"With pleasusej It’s now isle, and as ‘
there is little probability of any more bus!-;
nest and mv assli ants have gone home. I
shall be glad to enlighten you,” was the re
ply. |
"You have, I presume, been some lime
in this business? ’ began the news gather-
er, as ho sealed himself opposite the artist.
At this question the barber arose and from
a drawer brought out what was to all ap
pearance a time-worn scrap-book, from
which with evident piide hereodalond:
“James Andrews, A’esey street, oppos te
St. Paul's Church, hair dresser and birber,
tooth drawer and cleaner, cupper and
bleeder, corn extractor, mmlcurer, and all
work ot the same kind at living prices.
Wigs and curls made, repaired and
dressed. Ladles and gentlemen at
tended upon at their residence. The dead
shaved, etc., etc.” Then he eaid: * That I
have just read, sir, is an old advertisement
out ot one oi tbe journals on 1833, just half
a century ago, and it was with .his same
Andrews—an old Scotchman—that I as a
lad served my apprenticeship. But ah,
air,” be continued, warming up to hii sub
ject, “in these days my calling was a
science, bu arL You wanted the former
in extracting teeth, the removing of corns,
tbe bleeding and the manicuring—this last
being the trimming and polishing of fin
ger-nails—and lor hair dressing, shaving,
wig and curl work you wanted
the artistic gift. Years ago
we had to study ell these different
branches; (or instance, the proper degree
ol heat in the curling longs, to know and
eel the fine edge ol a razor lor shaving, to
be acquainted with the handling of a lan
cet, the use and strength of tbe forceps
and a knowledge, in cases oi bleeding, con
cerning the strength ot the patient. All
require study, sir—study. There are tew
moo who now ply the razor and scissors
who are aware oi tbe antlqnity ot their
calling; (or, according to Gibbon tbe Bo-
mans were tbe first to shave, and that the
razor—in the form of a square-topped
kni'e, but was used for other purposes—
was in realiiy invented by the Jews. Whv,
sir, there was a custom with the Hebrews
that when a man committed mnrder he
was entirely shaved and then sent adrift.”
“There is great difference between ,tne
trade, at the present day, and that, aay, oi
forty years ago?”
"Yes, indeed; at the time you mention
there was more wig and ladles’ front curls

much energy with such persistent assiduity to
the splendid Ideal which he has set himself to
attain. Milton well said: “He who would not
be frustrated of his hope to write well here
after In laudable things, ought himself to be a
true poem;') and Mr. Hayne has lived tbe
"laudable things” as well aa written them.
Mr. Hayne !s no hot house produc

vantages of being a member of a mu
tual admiration society armed with
magazines and equipped with facile
flatterers. His growth has been os

are echoed in big own. lie has lifted
himself above all others about him be

Dr. Lipscomb closes his entertaining
letter with a sentence so fine, we feel
constrained to override space and re
produce it:
But the beautiful things of this world are
abort lived to our senses; nor can they be olh
erwise, since iney pass trom ine oarer man to
the inner, and, by virtue of this divine law,
btcome “a Joy forever.” Tho rainbow soon
fades from the eye, bat it bends over the soul
assn everlasting arch ot holy promise. The
visit to the poet is over, and yet 1 find it re
peating Itself ln waking tnoughta day by day,
and ln drtam visions by night, so that 1 real
ise anew what I have so often experienced,
that true happiness outlives all occasions itad
abides as a bleating growing evermore unto
blessedness. We who know Paul Hamilton
Hayne nnderstand the meaning of these words
from his heart:

An Additional Loan*
The telegrams this morning indicate
that the ♦500,000 additional loan asked
by the New Orleans Exposition mana
gers, of Congress, will be granted. A
clause has been added to tbe regular
appropriation bill covering tliat sum,
and a motion to strike out said clause
was defeated by a large majority.
Tbit appropropriation will pay the
debt incurred by tbo managers and
leave tbe Exposition unincumbered.
It is now doing a self-supporting busi
ness and arriving at a degree of perfec
tion eminently creditable to the coun
