EDITORIAL NOTES.
The New York Herald strikes
pretty nearly a popular demand of the
present day political life when it says
“Resolutions played out; honest men
wanted.’’
The census, if ever completed, will
make a voluminous work. It is said
that it will make thirty large volomes,
the printing and binding of which
alone will cost a million dollars.
Capt. E. Hobbs, of Albany, has
been elected Chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee to fill the
vacancy caused by the removal of Col,
Lockett. He is exactly the man for
the position.—Quitman Free Press.
It is said that ten thousand dollars
will be sent out from Washington by
the Radical campaign committee to be
expended in the interest of a Radical
candidate and for the defeat of the
Democratic nominee of the Second
District It will take more than that
to do the business, “my dear Hubbell.’
Washington Democratic wisdom
as told by the New York Sun, is that
the Democrats will make no effort to
carry the next Congress, wanting the
Republicans to carry it in the belief
they will “hang themselves’’ by a reck
less course and thus help the Demo
crats in 1884. Verily the Democratic
party gets stupider and stupider.
About $12,000,000 per year is spent
on the insane in this country, and there
are estimated to be 100,000 insane per
sons, le3S 'than half of whom can be
accommodated in the public asylums,
Insanity increased in the last decade
100 per cent, while the population in
creased only 26 per cent., and a larger
proportion of such cases now are in
curable than ever before.
IIeiie is a case in point: A Virginia
woman clerk at Washington who re
ceives $75 a month, and who has just
paid $18—that is, two per cent, on her
annual pay of $900 at Hubbell’s de
mand has received a circulrs from l f a
hone asking for five per cent more, or
$45, to be used in the Virginia cam
paign. It would be a boon if that
woman had a big brother who would
“lick” both Qubbell and Mahone.

The New York Mercury gives the
following as the latest from pocdle-
dom : “A thriving business in Paris is
the making of ornaments and clothing
for pet dogs. The substitution of
babies would bo sensible. In New
York the poodle brigade let their pre
cious pets run naked. But the brigade
will soon follow the Parisians and
have tailors and dressmaskers for
dogs.’’ *
A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says the Tariff Commission uses
the most expensive stationery that is
paid for by the Government, except in
the single instance of the invitations
sent out by the President to State din
ners, when a very fine brand of im
ported paper is used. All of the pa
per used by the Tariff Commission is
imported, the members having refused
to use American made paper.
A leading Boston manufacturer said
a few days since: “It is now seven
teen years since the close of the war,
and the national taxes have not been
reduced. Although I am a manufac
turer in a ‘protected industry,’ I do not
believe in keeping up this enormous
revenue. The burden comes directly
upon the bnsiness men of the coun
try.” The Detroit Free Press thinks
“there are a great many other manu
facturers who think just as this one
in Boston does.’’
The Macon Telegraph and Atlanta
Constitution, editorially speaking,
have not resumed speaking terms since
the late unpleasantness between their
respective managing editors, but things
are working round, all the same, to
ward another duelistic fiasco, through
anonymous correspondents. “W. C.,”
in the Telegraph, tackles thb Consti
tution on its position on the tariff
question, whereupon the Constitution
hints rather broadly that its Macon
contemporary is an assistant Republi-
n. Police! Police!!
A sad demonstration of whether or
not beer is intoxicating occurred at
Cincinnati recently in the ruin of a
girl who was made drank on beer
while at a concert garden. It is a cus
tom in Cincinnati for respectable
women to thus drink beer in public,
and the Cincinnati Gazette says “if its
secret history for one month were
written, it would make a most start
ling record of corrupted virtue among
the young girls of the city. The thous
ands of these in their teens who are
before the police court during a year
is hut a fragment of that history.’’
It is said that when the two bun
Chinese students atNew Haven and
Hartford returned to their own coun
try, where kissing is unknown, they
did not know how to greet their moth
ers; The yellow youngsters had
learned to kiss in Connecticut, and
desired, but- dareu not, kiss their
mammas and female relations. IVbo
learned them to kiss, the Connecticut
giris?- If so, it is no use talking about
taste. A whtte woman who cafi kiss a
Chinaman is past blushes. The stu
dents are coming back again, and per
haps will take a - few more lessons
from females who like off color lips.
Depravity of taste can go lint little

And their startled spaces alar.
Would seem by the tumultshaken,
Which follows a bursting star!
Ah, me!
How low is the crown of the great Tree!
How fallen! fallen! fallen!

The Eagle that soared thro’ the azure,
By a God-like will possessed,
With traih as the grand emblaznre
Of hlspr-ud, pruissant crest,
In his loftiest flight was haunted
By the shadow of blasting blight.
And saw—bnt with eyes uncounted,
His noontide change to nigh’,
From the beckoning sun,
To the web Death’s ebon loom had spun,
The woven glooms of a place ol tombs.
He hath fallen, fallen, fallen!

Yet, what il the Oak, in thunder
Be hurled from his mountaiu hope,
To perish in darkness, under
Its savage and sullen slope;
And what if the dumb, dead Eagle,
Unchallenged by gleam or gust.
No longer enthroned and regal.
Lies prone in the pulseless dost.
Cold. Cold,
In the deepening fold of the frozen mould.
Fallen! fallen! fallen!

Shall the germ of the withered Tree
By invisible hands transplanted,

O’er the height of the hills of Adcun
Shall the re-plnmed Eagle soar,
With the lustre of eyes unfading.

The spirit ye loved has gained release!
Release! Release!

To the chrism of Christ, to the perfect Peace,

THE LIFE OF A CZAR.
How tlae Russian Emperor Enjoys
Himself at PetcrlioH*.
London Post.
In the meanwhile the Emperor en
joys himself after his style at Peter-
liofT, defended on every sido like a
fortress, but occasionally openly
showing himself to the enemy—the
public. The Empress is slowly re
covering from her confinement, bnt
the nervous prostration still remains
and it is said that it is. largely for
her sake that the coronation has been
left in the present uncertain condi
tion. Personally, she is averse to
its celebration, and shares the views
of several of the Czar’s advisers, that
if he can rule Russia without a crown
as well as he can with one, why
should he run the risk of a corona
tion? The Czar has been amusing
himself of late with a sloop propell
ed by electricity, which arrived at
PeterhofSa short time ago from Cron-
stadt, where it had been constructed
for the heir-apparent. Quite a flotil
la of gun-boats and torpedo cutters
is maintained at Peterhoff to guard
the place. Great changes arc being
made in the personnel of the imperi
al household, and it is stated that,
for the future, the maintenance of
the servants of the palace will only
cost £13,000 a year, instead of near
ly £100,000, as in the time of the late
Emperor.
Economy and simplicity charac
terize not only the course of life at
Peterhoff, bnt also the entire higher
administration of the empire. The
ostentation that marked every
movement and action of the late
Czar’s brothers, the Grand Duke
Constantine, of the Navy, and the
Grand Duke Nicholas, of the Army,
has been replaced by the austere
simplicity of the present Czar broth
ers, Alexis and Vladimir. The
larasites of the late court are hav-
ng a terribly bad time of it now.
No mercy is shown them in the re
organizations that are daily taking
place, and, as might be expected,
their opinion of the Czar is a very
bad one and goes to swell the popu
lar clamor against him. The Win
ter Palace is under repair, and many
snits of apartments are ordered to
be furnished afresh. A few weeks
ago a deal of old lumber found in
one of the garrets of the palace was
sold for 2,000 roubles to a dealer in
curiosities on the Nevsky Prospect
The rubbish filled .several wagons,
and although not one-half has been
properly examined, the dealer has
already netted 20,000 roubles by the
sale of two valuable pictures fie
found tbe first day among il.
and Dahomey.
How Temperance Works.
In speaking editorially of the fight
which is now going* on in Ware
county between the whisky menand
the prohibitionists in Ware county,
the Blackshear Hews and Signal
says:
As an incentive to renewed efforts
on their part, it perhaps might not be
amis3 to refer to matters in Pierce
county. A few years ago Pierce
county was badly in debt, and her
jail was crowded with criminals.
Blackshear was noted far and wide
for its fights, disorders and crimes of
of all kinds. To-day there is mon
ey in the county treasury, there is no
ail in the connty, it having been
milt and never rebuilt, and Black
shear, a town containing 1,200 souls,
hasn’t even a Marshal, and has no
need for one. Our town, instead of
being noted for its disorder, is now
noted for the perfect order that pre
vails throughout its limits, and in
stead of a town of rowdies we have
a town of law-abiding, upright citi
zens. And.all this we can attribute
to the abolition of the sale of wbis
ky. When the prohibition move was
first agitated among us, some of our
businessmen were afraid of it. They
were fearful that their trade wonld
be injured if whisky was removed.
But the universal verdict now is
that trade, instead of being hurt, has
been benefitted. Farmers who be
fore were behind with their accounts
in consequence of haviug a whisky
bill to pay,"are now even with the
world and prospering. The dead
beat has given way to the paying
man. New citizens, and good ones,
are coming in, attracted by our peace
and order, and those of the lower
class have sought climes more con
genial to them, The youth of our
connty and town are growing up
without having evil examples and
temptationsaet before them, and on
SIGNING THE DECLARATION.
Tbe Urn TVho Pledged Their Lives,
Fortunes and Sacred Honor. —
In looking over the signatures to
the declaration, not one is written
with a trembling hand except Steph
en Hopkins’. It was not fear that
made him tremble, for be was as
tree a patriot as any of them, but he
was afflicted- with the palsy.
But one of the residences of the
signers is attached to his name, and
that is of Charles Carroll. It is said
that one was looking over his
shoulder when be wrote his name,
and said to him: “There are several
of your name, and if we are unsuc
cessful they will not know whom to
arrest.” He immediately wrote “of
■Carrollton,” as mneb as to say if
there is reproach connected with this,
I wish to bear my share; if any dan
ger, I am ready lo face it. There
was genuine patriotism.
It was rather amnsing, after they
had signed their names, to hear Ben
jamin Franklin say to Samuel
Adams: “Now, I think we will
all hang together.’’ “Yes,’’ said Mr.
Adatns, “or we shall all hang sepa
rately.” Many have supposed that
all tiic names were signed on the
4th ol July, 177G. Not so. Ii was
signed on that day only by the Pres
ident, John Hancock, and with his
signature it was s-nt forth to the
world. On the second day of Au
gust it was signed by all but one of
the fifty-six signers whose names are
appended to it. The other attached
his name in November.
The signers of Ihe declaration of
independence were all natives of Ihe
American soil with the exception of
eight. Sixteen of them were from
Eastern or New England Colonies,
fourteen from ihe middle,and eigh
teen from the Southern Colonies!
One was a native of Maine, nine
were natives of Massachusetts, two
•of Rhode Island, four of Connecti
cut, three of New Jersey, five of
Pennsylvania; two of Delaware, five
of Maryland, nine of Virginia, and
four of South Carolina. Two were
born in England, three in Ireland,
two in Scotland, and one was born in
Wales.
Twenty-seven of the signers had
been regularly graduated in colleges,
or about one-half. Twenty others
had received thorough academic ed
ucation, and the remainder had each
been taught at a plain school or at
home. Of (lie filly-six signers twen
ty-five had studied Ihe institutions of
Great Britain while sojourning in
that country. All had something to
lose if the struggle should result in
failure lo them. Many of them were
very wealthy, and with very few ex
ceptions, all of them were blessed
with a competence.
Thirty-four of the signers were
lawyers, thirteen were planters or
farmers, nine were merchants, live
were physicians, two were mechan
ics, one was a clergyman, one a nia
son, and one a surveyor. The
youngest member of Congress wheu
the declaration was signed (Rut
ledge) was twenty-seven years of
age; the oldest one (Dr. Franklin)
was seventy'. Forty-two of the fifty-
six were between thirty and fifty
years of age; the average age of all
was forty-three years and ten
months.
They ail lived to a good old age.
The average of fifty-three at the time
of their decease was over sixty-eight
years. Tbe.Iast survivor was Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, being over
ninety when he died. • Fourteen
signers lived to he eighty years old,
and four past ninety. The pen used
by Ihe signors is preserved in the
Massachusetts Historical Society at
Boston. What talcs that pen coaid
speak! What a history.there is con
nected with it!
Not one of the signers ever fell
from Ihe high estate to which that
great act had elevated him. It had
been well said that “the annals of the
world can present no political body
the lives of whose members*minute
ly traced, exhibit so mach of the
zeal of the patriot, dignified and
chastened by the virtues of the
man.”

Wliy He Couldn’t Have Her,
The (Joogn-gationatist.
One of Jonathan Edwards’daugh
ters, who had some spirit of her
own, had also a proposal of mar
riage. Th8 yonth was referred to
her father. “No,’’ said that stern in
dividual, “yon can’t have my daugh
ter.’’ “Bnt I love her and ehe loves
me,’’ pleaded the young man. Can’t
have her!” said flie father. “I am
well to do and can support her,’’ ex
plained the applicant. “Can’t have
her I” persisted the old man. “May
. ask,” meekly inquired the snitor,
: if yon have heard anything against
my character?” “No!’’ thundered
the obstinate parent, by this time
aroused, “I haven’t heard anything
against yon; I think you are a prom
ising young man and that’s why you
can’t have her. She’s got a very bad
temper, and you wouldn’t be happy
with her!” The lover, amazed,said:
“Why, Mr. Edwards! I thought
Emily was a Christian. She is a
Chris tain, isn’t she ?”■ “Certainly she
is,’’growled the conscientious parent,
“bnt young man, when you grow
older you’ll be able to understand
that thre’s some folks that the grace
of God can live with that you cant!”
We note that the town marshals
and deputy sheriffs ’round about in
Georgia continue to lug around their
hip-pocket guns and to shoot down
prisoners who seek safety in attempt
ed flight. In hardly a single instance
of this sort have the published facts
warranted the killing, and we say
emphatically that it is time that
these quasi-official murders were
stopped. The fact that the victim
is usually a vagrant negro does not
make the crime tolerable. No offi
cer in Georgia is authorized, save in
the most desperate extremities, to
shoot down escaping prisoners and
they are guilty of murder when
they wantonly and recklessly do-so.
This sort of thing-should have an
end. It is barbarous and dastirdly.

THE COLORED COLONIES.
A Description of tin Settlements in
Kansan and Arlnuai.
Memphis Appeal.
Yesterday afternoon an Appeal
reporter met J. W. Niles, an intelli
gent colored man, who for several
years has been engaged in the work
of establishing negro colonies.
From him the reporter obtained an
interesting account of tbe Nicods-
mus colony in Kansas, as well as
some facts regarding the establish
ment recently of a colony in Arkan
sas.
“Were you with the Nicodcmns
colony?” asked the reporter. -
“I followed them as a spectator at
first. They were under the leader
ship of Preacher Morris Bel),' who
deserted them as soon as their trou
ble thickened upon them. Nicode-
mus colony was started by negroes
from Kentucky principally. It bad
a very hard time at first. The col
onists mostly got there without
cent of money in their pockets, and
starvation stared them in the face. I
fed them for twelve months myself,
in order to give them a start. They
have learned to live without
money.”
“What sort of a place is Nicode-
mns?”
“It contains some 365 homes and is
located in Graham connty, Kansas,
the district being known as Solomon’s
valley. When Bell deserted the
colony I brought it out ofitsjtronble.
They have two churches there, one
public school, one subscription
school, a Post Office and several
stores-’
“What do they do for money?”
“Well, they raise corn, pumpkins
and vegetables, and meet every Sat
urday, night and exchange commod
ities. They give vegetables and
other products for drugs, clothing,
etc. I never knew before that men
could: live without money. For
three years after the colony started
there was not a team in it, and the
men worked entirely with picks and
spades. The colonists were of tbe.
worst class of negroes from Ken
tucky. Many of them went in order
to live easily off the commuuitv.
Now they are transformed into hard
working farmers, thus showing, as I
have always claimed, that there was
something to he made (out of even
the lowest negro.”
“What sort of 'government have
they?”
“A regular township government,
tbe principal officer being a township
trustee, who is a negro.”
“In what condition is the colony in
Lee connty, Arkansas ?’!
“It is in a first-rate condition, and
is almost a second Nicodemus. The
negroes'of Sooth Carolina, Alabama
and in some parts of Tennessee have
been wanting to go to Kunsas. I
have been working to check that
movement, because the negro is ac
climated to the South, and Kansas,
not being timbered, and being all
prairie, is rather too cold for the
Southern darkey’s blood. A good
many have consequently gone to
Arkansas.”
What to a Living)
Columbus Sunday Enquirer-Sun.
A living, or the amount of susten
ance required to enable people to
make a creditable atid respectable
show amoDg their fellows, may be
regarded as an equivocal term.
There are those who consider them
selves on the verge of starvation,
with an allowance of ten thousand
dollars per annum, while others
think themselves highly favored as
the recipients of necessaries and lux
uries purchased with five hundred
dollars a year. Real wants are very
few, imaginary ones very many.
Dr. Tanner and his like have demon
strated that very little is required to
sustain life, and that more people
die trom gormandizing than starva
tion. In the matter of wearing-
apparel, the same line of reasoning
holds good. We have seen men who
looked genteel in five dollar snits,
and others who were afraid of being
classed among the “shabby genteel”
if they were caught in suits which
costless than $25. While not con
demning tbe one as penurious,, or
the other as extravagant, we must
make due allowance for the charac
ter of home training, and the bump
of individuality as developed in
different people. As it takes all
sorts to make a world, of coarse
there will be fonnd a large diversi
ty of tastes, and a wide latitude, as
to what constitutes a living.
A large majority of the people of
our world live for the mere gratifi
cation of physical appetites, and are
in constant dread of wants, real or
imaginary. Hence there is much of
unnecessary strain of mind and
body for Ihe pleasures-which are
perishing in their nature. If such
people could be content with a less
measure of those things which satis
fy the lower appetites, and aspire to
pleasures of a higher order, such as
may be derived from a well stored
mind, and a wisely cultivated heart,
there wonld not be so mach of strain
of life’s energies, nor such a waste
of powers given foi wise and bene
ficent ends. As to the measure of
respect in which a man is held
among his fellows, we see no reason
why a man who is a good citizen
and honest man on $500 a year,
should not be as respectable as the
one who glories in $5,000 a year.
There is no necessity for envying
the man who luxuriates in his thous
ands, nor to look down upon him
who is circumscribed to his hun
dreds. While we would not under
rate die vim and pluck which wins
success and enables its winner to
enjoy the comforts and luxuries of
money, we would implant a spirit of
contentment, which, by the way, is
one of the greatest sources of happi
ness in ihe mind of him who toils
and plods and yet fails to win the
fickle goddess fortune. Although it
requires but little to enable to live
physically, yet to live wisely and
happily much more is required than
the mere bread which perishes.

When the South is able, not only
to make cotton yarn, but also lo
weave the various cotton fabrics for

tant north, the end of a long twi
light of stupid self-indulgence will
have come, and the regenerated cot
ton region will once again reassert
its monarchy of American produc
tions.

Official Correspondence—Latest Re
ports from Brownsville and Mata-
Washington, August 19.—A tele
gram irom Gov. Roberts, of Texas,
was to-day received at the Treasury
Department, stating the suffering
condition of those sick with yellow
fever and of two thousand persons
in Brownsville, Texas, out of em
ployment on account of quarantine,
and requesting aid. Acting Secre
tary French replied that the depart
ment wonld take charge of the hos
pitals and quarantine at suitable sta
tions, if the. Governor desired it, but
that the State of Texas must support
all persons not in the hospitals.
The Governor accdes to his views,
and the General Superintendent of
the Marine Hospital service will at
once mnstcrinto his service and pay
the guards at proper points to pre
vent egress from Brownsville, and
will through one of his surgeons
take charge of all hospital arrange
ments. Surgeon General Hamilton
has already made arrangements by
which hospital tents have been sent
to Memphis, and instructions have
been given the surgeon of the ser
vice there to proceed at once, on re
ceiving orders, to Brownsville and
take charge of yellow fever pa
tients.

SAM HILL.
He Is In Mexico Dolus Well.
Mr. William Venable, Secretary of
Commissioners of Street and Sewers
of Atlanta, retnrned from an exten
ded tour through the West yester
day morning. Soon after his arrival
in the city he was met by a Con
stitution representative, to whom he
said:
“Yon ought to have been along. I
had the best time out. Went to
Leadville, Denver, Colorado Springs,
Santa Fe, Tombstone, Eos Vagos
and lots of other places. Was in a
snow storm on top of Pike’s Peak on
the 31st of July. Bnt who do you
think I saw wbiloaway?”
“Don’t know. Buffalo Bill or Ar
abi Bey?”
“Neither one. Sam Hill. Yes,
sir, I saw Sam.”
“Where?”
“Well, I saw him. He was float
ing nnder a false name, and when I
walked np to him and said, ‘Hello,
Sam Hill/ he wheeled around and
seemed greatly surprised. He is
’ambling and was fixed up nobby,
le says he was in San Antonio,
Texas, doing well, but they got after
him and he skipped. He spoke of
his wife in the kindest terms, and I
believe he ioves her devotedly. He
sent her money several times. He
told me that he would not know the
man he killed ifbrought face to face
with him.’’

for membership in the Knights of

the work of the third degree her sex
was discovered. It seems that in
the third degree they have an India
rubber rat and a celluloid snake,
which run by clock-work inside,
and which were natural indeed.
They let them run at the candidates
to see if they will flinch. When the
snake ran out at the girl she kept

she grabbed her imaginary skirts in
both hands and jnmped upon the re
frigerator standing near (which is
used in the work of the fourth de

however, and there is no help for il.
This affair may open the eyes of
secret societies and cause them to
investigate. One Lodge here, we
understand, takes precautions
against the admission of women by
carefully examining the feet of ap
plicants. If the feet arc cold enough
to freeze ice cream, the candidate is
blackballed.”
