It is a new revelation that the Rail

Atlanta, April 26.—During the

Important event occurred precisely at
12:40/as the Air Lina train rolled into
the depot on schedule time. Its arrival
had been awaited anxiously by a com
mittee ofprorainentcitizens. Whether
merely as a delegation of Confederate

committee they would not divulge to
your correspondent. The committee
numbered a dozen or more, and seemed
sufficiently iu force to escort tbeir dis

ried out. At the Kimball General

Atlanta, April 26.—For some rea

in hitf-honor, at which time he was to
respond in a speech which would placb
him fairly before the public as a can

ing on this line for some time, a con
ference was had with Gen Gordon, as
a result of which it was decided that
this was not somehow the right time,
and that it had better »*e deferred to

was due to a lack of ripeness in feeling
here or whether it was thought the 1st

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The President is indignant at the
versatile freedom of the press in dis
cussing his alleged approaching mar
riage. “1 ain not going to say a word
iu the matter, but lot you go ou in
your own way until you get tired of
dragging the name of a poor defense
less girl into cruel publicity,” said the
President to the Enquirer correspon
dent, who asked him the query about
which there is now so much informa
tion extant:
“Is the President engaged?”
Mr. Cleveland sat In the bow win
dow of his executive office, cladv in a
suit ot black clothes, a black silk tie
about his stand-up collar, which wte
slightly frayed ou the edges. The
President certainly did not look like a
happy expectant groom, and he had a
gloomy expression of countenace that
the red hues of auger that settled about
his neck did not tend to render more
cheerful. The sky was slightly over-
east. There were two working politi
cians waitiug to see him on a distant
sofa. A young woman sat on *i chair
not far away, and a day-bclorc-yester-
day-bouquet threw out meliodors ou
the desk in front of him.
“These reports,” he resumed “area
shame and an outrage upon all the pri
vacies and decencies of life, aud the
press should find something better to
do than to be pitching into an unpro
tected girl in this brutal way. Last
week it was a lady stopping in ^ the
house. Next week it will be some
other poor girl. Why do you not ac
cord to your President the. privileges
you do to the laborer earning 50c. a
lay ? The President should have
some rights of privacy you might
res|H*et. Your class give me none.
A man said the other week that the
burlier came here on Sundays to shave
me. Why, l have not been shaved by
a barber for 20 years. Pretty soon
they will want to know what sort of a
ii glit-shirt 1 wear (with a grim laugh).
But you were very right io come and
ask me, and I will say that when
we, I, get ready to announce my
marriage (sarcastically) I shall do so
in my own way. But the result of it
all will be that we shall have to shut
you people out entirely from getting
news here. 1 have a man—Col. La
ment—who is in full sympathy with
I he press, and who is willing to give
all the information asked, and yet you
are not satisfied. Now, why don’t you
lo something different from all the
rest, and say a word in behalf of the sa
cred immunity of pure womanhood
from being made the common talk ot a
ontiment, and write something on the-
other side of the question? A man,
though a President, has some rights to
his private affairs.”

John Sterling, one of a brilliant
group of Englishmen in the first half
of our century, was a rare converser
and a social favorite. Early in life he
gave promise of literary eminence, and
the leaders of thought commended in
high terms his few contributions to let
ters. A -man whose intimate friends
were Carlyle, John Stewart Mill, and
the Rev. Julius Hare, must have bad
rare qualities ol mind and heart.
Sterling’s life has a melancholy Inter
est not only lor his resolute struggle
with disease and his early death, but
for the great eclipse which passed over
his religious faith. He was at one
time an earnest Christian and a hard
working clergyman. Having a pro
found revereuce for Julius Hare, he
gladly qpcepted an appointment as
curate in his large parish at Herst-
mom-eaux, and for a brief period was
a model pastor.
He took great delight in visiting the
f:imilies of the parish, and his genial
manners and helpful words made him
welcome iu every home. Rarely has
any parish clergyman won a sincerer
love from the people of his charge, aud
they retained their iuterest iu him
until his death.
But he came under the personal in
fluence of Thomas Carlyle, and the
sharp gibes again-t the church and the
Bible in which this radical, onesided
thinker indulged, had a fatal Influence
ou his new disciple. He lost faith In
the truths he had loved to teach, and
and interest iu the parish work which
hail gladdened his heart. He resigned
his charge, ga%*e up his intimacy with
Mr. ilare* and entered with enthusi
asm on a life of literary toiU
Though failing health shattered all
his plans for literary success, his cheer
fulness did not abate, uo: his courage
waver, when it became evideut that
nothing could arrest the progress of
di-ease. While resigned to the inevita
ble doom, be was one of the brightest
of companions and one of the wittiest of
correspondent.
But the religion he had discarded
could yield him no support as his txxli-
lv strength failed him. It is sad to
read the words writ u to Mr. Carlyle
iu one of his last let ers.
“On higher matte s I have nothing
to sav.' I tread the common road into
the great darkness without thought of
fear, and with verv much hope. Cer-
taiuly. indeed, l have none.”
As* the end drew near, the old life;
seemed to have’ recovered something of
its former power, for bis thoughts went
back to tbe pleasant days of parish-
work. As his si9ter sat by bis bedside,
he reached out hHhands, as if feeling
for something. When she asked him
what he v. as searching for, he replied,
tenderlv.—
“Ouly the old Bible which I used so
often at Herstinonceaux, in tbe cot
tages.” And he passed on iuto the other

these trees were probably forty years

A Senator told me this true story
“The President has a repugnance to
applications for office numerously sign
ed. He said to me mice that, when Mayor
of Buffalo, he was just about to ap
point a man whs had apparently the
endorsement of the whole city. A
friend interposed, said the eleelioii was
not a proper one and asked suspension
of action for one day. Next morn
ing, he brought a petition pleading for
the punishment of oue Grover Cleve
land, who had committed every crime
iu the decalogue. This document was
signed by every prominent lawyer,
preacher, and merchant in Buffalo? AH
bad signed without reading the pream
ble ! That made the President despise
all such papers. ■ Thepoint.or hisanec-
dote was directed against a case I was
urging, which he however finally
agreed to. Turning to his desk he
picked up a paper, which prqved to be
an application uiultitndiiiously signed,
and said: ‘This is the man who ought
to have the place and not your friend.*
I answered: ‘Mr. President, you for
get your own reasouing. That man is
amenable to the same denunciation as
you just indulged in toward all such
persons.* The President colored,
laughed and ejaculated: “Great heav

mother comforteth, so I will comfort

this could he say? And many a strong
man who was first comforted by his
mother’s loving and tender words and
ways while he was a helpless child
has never lost his grateful, trusting
dependence on the mother’s ministry
of affection and sympathy.
VVben gruff old Dr. Johnson was
fifty years old, he wrote to his aged
mother as if he were still her wayward

John Quincy Adams did not part with

then was: “O God, could she have

Without her the world reels to roe

Nott, of Union College, was more
than ninety years old aud had been
for half a century a college president,
as strength and tense failed him in his
dying hours, the memory of his moth

aud he could be hufihed to needed
sleep by a gentle patting on the shoul

still sitting by Ids bedside in loving
ministry, as she had been well-nigh a

Wealthy people own them, fitting them

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the following repairs neces

In the Jail, in each corner many
brick have falleu out, rendering the
building unsafe, and we recommend
that a wall be built ou the uorth side
to add to the security of the prisoners.
The windows, sash cord, kitchen floor,
water works, stove and matters of
minor importance should be attended
to. The interior of the jail is kept in a
cieanly condition and is . regularly
whitewashed.
The Court House is in excellent con?
dition, the buildiug well painted and
the grounds in good order. We rec
ommend that a new water closet be
built.
The Poor Houses are in good repair.

REPORT OF COUNTY SCHOOL COMMIS
SIONER.
In compliance with the law 1 begjto.
make tbe following report of the pu(>-
lic schools of Dougherty County fpr
the year 1885.
There was : taught foe the^full terroof
three months 39 public-'schools; of
these 8 were white schools * and 31 col
ored; total attendance, 2,015; average
attendance, 1,574; total attendance of
white, 161; total attendance of colored,
1,851. For detailed statement or each
school see reports and tabulated state
ments herewith submitted.
The receipts and disbursements for
ie year were as follows:
il5-'04 1-> ’ V ‘-’ AprU 31 — The
* Her. J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, de-
n 1!Terecl a speech here last Dight, in
which he is alleged to have alluded in
a derogatory manner to the .editor of
the State audits stsfl’. Although both
of the morningdailies report a synopsis
ol the Doctor’s remarks, they fail to
give a line of what was said about The
State. Hence Mr. Beirne’s information
came from a private source. As Mr.
Beirne lives out of the city, your cor
respondent could not reach him in time
to give the words reported to have beeu
mx doctor’s allusion.
A member of the State's staff, how
ever, says that the Doctor is reported
to have alluded to them as “a set of sots
and drunkards,” and that they were
naturally the opponents ot prohibition.
Mr. Beirne is well known through
out Viigima, as an accomplished jour
nalists and a gentleman of the strictest
integrity of character. Therefore,
when the following card appeared in
the State this afternoon, it created quite
a sensation in all circles, Dr. Haw
thorne also being well known as a for
mer pastor of the First Baptist church
in this city.
HATWHORNE DENOUNCED.
To the public: I have sent a copy of
the following letter to Rev. J. B. Haw
thorne. which, injustice to niysell, 1
now submit to the publie.
“Richmond, April 21, 1886.—Rev.
J. B. Hawthorne: Sir: The contest
between the prohibitionists and their
opponents in this city had been con
ducted in good temper and with the
most kindly feelings between all who
were engaged in it, till you entered the
arena, and began to hurl abusive epi
thets at those whose opinions happened
to differ with yours. I have been in
formed that at a public meeting held
yesterday evening in a Christian church
Recognizing tbe great importance of
having free navigation of Flint river,
and believing that the work does not pro
ceed with sufficient rapidity,we recom
mend that our immediate representa
tives iu Congress use every effort in
their power to have this matter thor
oughly investigated, and we recom
mend that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to Hons. H. G. Turner, A.
H. Colquitt aud Joseph E. Brown.
In consideration of the importance
of a free passage over Flint river, we
recommend that our County Commis
sioners use*their best endeavors to
establish a free passage or the citizens
of the county at as early a date as pos
sible. *
We recommend unanimously that a
chain gang be established in Dough
erty county, to lessen the expense in
curred in the disposit.on of prisoners.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners pay to the trustees of
the Albany Mate Acadamy the sum of
one hundred and fifty dollars for the
payment of debts contracted in com
pleting the building.
lo conclusion, we return our thanks
to bis Honor Judge Bower for court
esies extended, and to Solicitor Gen
erals Spence ami Oliver ior informa
tion and assistance rendered our body
damng this term of court.
We recommend that these present-
be published in tbe Wkeklt

1,348 70 Hr. Speaker, I do not deem it im-
proper, in conclusion to call attention
to the election at which I was defeated.
It was the October election in Ohio in
1884. Tbe Democratic pajty of that
State was engaged in the first great
battle of a national contest. The ef
forts were concentrated upon its soil.
Tbs fat; of the Republican party was
held in its hands. If Ohio went against
the Republican State ticket, then
Ohio was lost to the Republican candi
date for the Presidency. It is a mat
ter of public notoriety that whatever
wealth and power aqdfforganization
could do to securq suwess for that
party was done. Members of the dlf-
ferentf 'Departments at j Washington
here were in Ohio then. The cam
paign was managed under the eye of
the great leader of the Republican
party himself. The Republican can
didate for President was in Ohio, and
In my own district staid ou tiie uight
before the election.
The eyes of the whole nation were
turned to it. The whole country
awaited the result with the keenest an
xiety. The battle everywhere else was
suspended, but it went on in the State
of Ohio. And how it went on on the
part of the Democracy, with its strain
on nerve and vitality against fearful
odds, especially in the larger cities,
none know except the gallant Demo
crats of Ohio themselves who were en
gaged iu the conflict. We were defeat
ed; but, Mr. Speaker, who shall say
that the day lost then was not the day
won iu November? It was in this bat
tle, iu the very forefront of it, in which
I was stricken down. If I had been
fairly stricken down I should have
waited for the tender hand of a kind
lier day to lift me up; bun having been
uufalrly overcome, as I honestly be
lieve, could I do less than to appeal to
this House to give me the seat to which
I am entitled, not through sympathy,
not through partisanship—God forbid
—but in punishment of wrong aud iu
vindication of right? [Loud and pro

ie! Came to Harry Jacob.
Boston Record.
This true story comes from an old
sea-board town in Maine:
Jacob loved Rachel, bat Rachel
wouldn’t have him. Jacob labored
on, pressing his salt at intervals, aud
after each rebuff telling her he was
bound to win her yet, and convince
every one she cored for him as much
os he believed in his heart she did.
“Very well,” cried the indignant
Rachel with a toss of her head, “keep
right on till you make folks believe
that, and when you do I’ll marry
yoaP*
Jacob did persevere, hut with small
success, and at last began to lose cour
age. About this time another suitor
of RaebePs arrived home from sea,
bringing with him, among other exot
ics, a parrot of gorgeous hue, which
he presented to Rachel, who forth
with had the bird suspended from tbe
sitting room window, whence she
losltal out afternoons when ber work
was done. For a day or two after his
elevation to this dignity tbe parrot re
mained marveiouriy quiet, only cast
ing an eye about as if taking in bis
new situation. On the third morning,
however, no soouer did tbe neighbors
begin to stir than he electrified each
parser by with the announcement:
“Rachel’s gone on JacoL; no chance
for John.”
Of course, the more laughter this
raised tbe more vociferously the bird
proclaimed tbe news. It spread like
wildfire, and the parrot’s audience
steadily increased. Rachel, mean
while, went into hysterics, bat how
ever ranch this incommoded the fami
ly it made no impression on tbe
who, although threatened and
and relegated to darkness, waxed
more and more fnrious with desire to
spread his knowledge.
Jacob kept out of the way for
awhile, but there was no lack Of cour«^
