And the smile that sweetened her lips always
Lay light on her blessed month that day.
I smoothed from her hair a silver thread.
And I wept, but I could not think her dead,
I felt with a wonder too deep for speech.
She could tell what the angels teach,
And over her mouth 1 leaned my ear.
Lest there mi*ht be something I should not
bear.
Then out from the silence between ns stole
A message that reached my inmost soul:
‘Why a-eep you to-day, who have wept be

That the road was rough that I must journey
o’er?
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?

And now that 1 lie in a breathless sleep,
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and u»*ep.

If you could, my slumber, and have me wake;
For, though )i!c was full of things that bless,
I never have till now known happiness.
Then I dried my tears, and with lifted head
I left iny mother, the beautiful dead.

It is estimated that during the first

fully $36,090,000, most of it contributed

reasons of this is found in the peace
able and reliable character of the negro

In its Sunday issue the Atlanta Con

Monticello (Fla.) Const it at ion.
Gen. Gordon, who is engaged in a
heated canvassof Georgia, with a view
of securing the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor ol that State, is evi
dently relying soleiy on his popularity
as an officer of the Confederate States
army, which was disbanded twenty-one
years ago, to secure him the votes of
the people. All the brilliant battles of
the four year’s war, a stranger would
infer were planned and executed by
him—he indured all the hardship and
toil, and from his viens flowed all the
blood that stains the soil of Virginia,
and to him, solely, is due all the re
wards that a grateful people have to
bestow; Gen. Gordon’s laudation of'
himself, and entire forgetfulness of the
long-suffering and gallant private sol
dier, prompts the Athens Danner to
refer to a “legend of the private,” and
many persons have a faint recollection
that there was such a species of the
soldier known as “the private” in the
gallant armies yf the Confederacy,who
really - did some service in assisting
Gordon and. other “generals,” “col
onels” and “captains” in conferring
glory and renown to our armies. It is
nearly forgotten, however, auJ we are
glad the Banner restores it to the re
collection of the people. The Banner
says:
"here is a legend about the great
struggle between ilie North and the
South, extending from 1861 to 1805,
which recites that iu the armies of the
Confederacy there was a species of
soldier known as the private, and that
these obscure, but now extinct, war
riors not only bore tire brunt of the
conflict, but performed deeds of valor
almost euqalliig those of the Generals.
But if such a soldier as the private ever
existed, the race lias become extinct or
submerged into the Colonel, and so we
fear forever lost to history. In this day
and generation we only hear of the
prowess of the General, ami are taught
to believe that this rank alone charged
the enemy amid shot and shell, storm
ed and captured cities, bore all the fa
tigue,suffering and danger—in fact,are
theouly patriots deservingof honor and
remembrance by a grateful people.
We would like, for some antiquarian or
historian to investigate the story about
the private, and see if it is really a leg
end, and the private a myth—or were
there such warriors in‘the Southern
army, and did they not, in a feeble
way at least, assist the Generals and
Colonel in maintaining a heroic strug
gle that will forever eushroud the de
fenders of the “Lost Cause” with a
halo of glory. If there is such a war
rior as the private, justice demands
that he should be discovered, and a fair
share of the laurels now being woven
around the Generals placed upon his
brow. If the private kept iu the rear
during the heat of battle, w bile the
General moved down rank after rank
of the enemy, charged and captured
their batteries, and inarched half-dead
and fainting through the snows of win
ter and the broiling summer’s sun, at
least let us suite that he was “a quiet
looker on in Venice.” If the private
drank and smoked in his tent while the
poor old General was staked out on
some picket line in momentary danger
of his life, or whose only covering at
night was a mantle of snow, he should
at least be mentioned as being on hand.
In fact, if such a biped as the private
ever existed, let us see what part he
bore in the great struggle, and give
him a just share of the honors.
A Discriminating Vote,
Augusta Chronicle.
In one short week Hon. A. O. Bacon
has shown himself a powerful cam
paigner, and whatever may be the re^-
suit of this canvass his reputation as a
man of clean' methods, of fair conduct
and unquestioned powers in debate has
been established before the party in
Georgia. His position has been a deli
cate one, for the people are attached to
General Gordon on account of his high
services in the past; but Major Bacon’s
exposition of Vhe civi* record of his op
ponent, together with the influences
and«iuotives back of this campaign,
was masterly and convincing. Major
Bacon lias established himself in the
strongholds of Gen. Gordon’s friends.
He has silenced mere martial enthusi
asm with the recital of cold facts, and
has drowned all the super-sentimental
appeals of the campaign by a logic as
irresistible as it was fearless. One week
of Major Bacon’s reasoning has shown
that the old army element is as clean
in its politics as it was devoted in its
attachments, and that, although as sol
diers it obeyed with unquestioning
obetlier.ee, as* citizens it will vote with
searching discrimination.
Thf. Augusta Chronicle says: “It is
hard for our Carolina readers to be
lieve the reports and accounts of Gem
Gordon’s style and speeches when he
appears on the stump. Well, it was
hard enough for Gen. Gordon’s friends
in Georgia to realize that they were his

who have heard him do not believe that
they are his at heart: sti»l he has adopt

.... 1 .1 'Phan %«•;» fn "Vi;»crs*r*»
Editors Chronicle: The invita
tions with which I have been honored
to address tbe people on the pending
Gubernateml-qveHioa seem to impose
upon me a duty- to respond in some
way. I cannot visit the localities to
which T have been invited, and there
fore adopt this method of briefly giving
some of my views. It mast be a mat
ter of regret to all good citizens that
the joint discussions between the can
didates who aspire to the high office of
Governor very soon became so person
al that their respective representatives
agreed that the unity of tbe party and
the public good required that they
should be discontinued. But when we
come to think about it, is it strange?
Where gentlemen belong to tbe same
party, and agree substantially upon
the public questions that must be jjg-
ter mined during the ad min istratiousof
the office to which they aspire, there is
little, if anything to discuss but them
selves, and this being so, the effort of
each is to make his competitor inferior
to himself, and hence personal abuse or
detraction, and a mere wrangle for
office must follow*. This must be so
until we curb the disposition to pur
sue office for the emoluments and
liouor it brings,. and learn that the
people have some capacity to select for
themselves their own public servants.
As long as the people allow it to be
understood that no citizen is to be
called into office unless he is willing
and able to conduct a long and expen
sive canvass, in which hischief employ
ment is to be praise of himself and de
traction and abuse of others, who are
engaged as himself, the services ol
many, very many, worthy and quali
fied, who would, if properly called,
accept public station, must be lost to
the State, for they have neither the
taste nor capacity to pursue such meth
ods.
To elevate the tone of our politics,
dignify the methods now* too common
ly resorted to inculcate the salutary
lessou that offices are not created to be
disjicused as rewards, even for the
worthy, but to be conferred and en
joyed for the public good; that they
bring not ohly emolument and honor,
but impose the most sacred trust aud
The gravest responsibilities, is far more
important than the political prefer
ment of any individual. These high
ends so devoutly to be wished for can-
uot be attained unless they are de
manded and insisted upon by the vir
tuous aud intelligent, whose interest
and duty call upon them to assert aLd
maintain the control of public affairs,
i'wo prominent citizens aspire to the
high aud resfionsible office of Gover
nor of tlie State, and the people who are
the original source of all power, and to
whom ail office.- belong, are called upon
to choose between them. It becomes
us wisely and patriotically to iuquire
what is the busiuess in hand? what
the duty of the hour? For in the heat
of partisan passion or false sentiment
we may forget these pertinent and con
trolling questions. The business on
hand is the selection of a Governor,not
the crowning of a warrior. We want
a man to fill the Chief Executive office
of the Suite, not one to lead a gallant
corps “into the jaws of death, into the
mouth of hell.” The duty of the hour
is to select that one who is best quali
fied for the particular service to be
rendered. The office of Governor de
mands qualifications entirely different
from those that would fit one for other
high stations. Its duties largely, very
largely, require that the incumbent
should be a man of business habits and
methods. We must guard against the
mistake sometimes made in the church
as well as the State that because one is
tit for or has been even distinguished
in one department or station, that,
therefore, he is qualified for all service.
According to the divine arrangement
and order iu the church, ‘‘God bath set
some in the church; first, apostles;
secondarily, prophets; thirdly, teach
ers. After that miracles; then gifts of
healings helps governments, diversi
ties of tongues. Are all apostles: are
all prophets, are all teachers, are all
workers o. miracles? Have all the
gift of healing? Do all speak with
tongues? Do all interpet?” Georgia
has furnished to the Christian world
of to-day one of its most conspicuous
figures—a man whose career is really
phenomenal—and yet I am sure that
neither lie nor any of his friends will
consider me disrespectful or lacking in
just appreciation of his wonderful gifts
when I say that the recent conference
of his church would not have thought
of making him a Bishop or elevating
him to a professorship in a theological
seminary. Why? Because he is not
distinguished or has not rendered con
spicuous and faithful service? By no
means, but because he has not the
qualifications that fit him for the office
of a Bishop or a theological professor.
Juo. Milton, in one of his powerful
defences of the people of Englafid,
said: “War has made many great
whom peace makes small.” Let
the thoughtful, reflecting people of the
State consider what office it is to be
filled aud tbe duties of that office and
the choice between the two candidates.
1 think must be plain. The Gover
nor shall be* commaude:-in-chief of
the army and navy of the State and
•of the militia thereof. In case of in
vasion or insurrection the Governor
has power to call out all volunteer
military companies o* the militia, or
both, for the defence of the State. But
these are not all his duties. They are
exceptional and only required in case
of emergencies that are not likely to
come upon us. Fqr these purposes, or
for the mere formal and purely.orna-
mental duties of a dress parade, as re
quired by the recent military display
in Savannah, my choice might be dif
ferent, but when I consider the daily
practical duties of this office and the
qualifications that are required for
their discharge, I am forced to the con
clusion that one of these candidates is
superior to the other by nature and
training. One of them* Hon. A. O.
Bacon, is familiar with the legislation
aud the history of public affairs for
the past twelve or fifteen years, Is a
gentleman of ability—not only of abil
ity, but adaptability to this particular
office; in short, so worthy and well
equippeed that his competitor publicly
and freely acknowledges his qualifica
tions. The other was distinguished in
for which he has been highly
of comfort and registered the last mes
sage of love to the absent—every man
and woman, in any department of the
service who stood In his place and ren
dered the best-service he could. Bnt
among those who did active service I
would place the most unfading crown
upon the brow of th* private soldier
who endured tbe severest hardships,
suffered the greatest privations and
tought the battles and won the victo
ries. At all proper times and in all
proper ways, we should honor the
taithfnl and true of that period. If
could be, mark the grave of every dead

to think that one might be the most
noble and self-sacrificing philanthro-
phist and yet not qualified to be the
chief Executive of a great State. Let
us not make a like mistake. Not long
ago I bad occasion to «all upon one of
the largest merchants in our city,
whose success is the amplest proof of
his business management, to solicit
employment for one who had been un
fortunate In business aud lost every
thing. In the course of the interview
the merchant called my attention to
gentleman in the store, of urbane man
ners and.faultless dres3, and said tome,
I have employed that man to bow to,
and smile upon the ladies. Doubtless
the merchant had been wise in his se
lection for that particular service, but
if his judgment had been so perverted
by the charming address of the gentle
man selected to greet the ladies, as to
put him in charge of his books and
finances bankruptcy would have been
tbe price of his folly. The business in
hand is the choice of a Governor, the

There was a romantic trial in Wil
mington yesterday, says the Philadel
phia Press, when Stephen II. Burleigh,
of this city, was put in the prisoners’
dock to answer to the charge of lar
ceny, and the big court house in little
Delaware’s metropolis has not held
such an interested audience for a long
time as that which sat and listened to
Miss Nettie Spencer, a pretty Philadel
phia girl bravely testify to the good
character of The man to whom she is
engaged. Connected with the trial isa
pretty story of womanly firmness and
affection. Burleigh was acquitted and
will marry Miss Spencer. She had in
sisted upon his standing trial and
clearing his name be! ore be could claim
her band.
Burleigh is a very gentlemanly look
ing young man, rather fine looking.
Early last winter he visited Wilming
ton, and in a saloon made the acquain
tance ot ?. Lloyd Boddy, a young man
of that city, and two or three others.
Shortly after they had separated
Boddy discovered that his watch was
missing and had the party arrested.
They were all searched carefully, but
the missing timepiece was not discov
ered, and they were released. A few
days later Burleigh was arrested in
this city while trying to pawn the
w*atch at Tenth and Parish streets. He
was taken to Wilmington and held in
$200 bail for.
Burleigh claimed in defeuse that he
had procured the watch of a man at
the railroad statlou in this city in trade
for a cheap one be carried and $8 iu
cash. The defense was accepted by*
Mr. Boddy. who, after recovering th*e
watch, was willing to withdraw the
suit. When the fact reached the ears
of Miss Speucer, Burleigh’s fiance, she
I tha *“
insisted that the case should be beard,
in court, and that her lover mnst have"
a trial and ajqu.t al before he could
claim her hand. She. implicitly be
lieved in bis innocence, but insisted
upon the charge against him being
cleared away in the courts.
To face a trial with a jury of
strange men, aud in case of conviction
the whipping-post and tortUresome
pillory, was the only method of secur
ing the girl to whom he w as engaged.
He accepted the proposition, and the
jury, after a short circumstantial evi
dence, brought in verdict of not
guilty.
Miss Spencer attended the trial and
testified to the prisener’s good charac
ter, and her insinuatingly sweet voice,
coupled with the earnest anxiety for
her lover, completely won the judge
and jury. The bride-elect is a very
pretty brunette, with deep brow n eyes
and rich complexion. She was neatly
•“and very becomingly costumed, and as
she gave her testimony in the case
whipL w*as to decide her future she pre
sented a lovely picture.
The gallant chief justice and his
bachelor associates, all dignified and
gray-haired, beamed admiringly upon
the pretty woman, and the Attorney-
General was also attracted by her
pleasing presence and interrogated her
in his mildest tones.
When the jury announced its verdict
there was an outburst of applause in
the court room and every eye was
turned upon Miss Spencer as she re
joined her lover. The bravery of the
girl in insisting upon a trial, her grace-
tul bearing and expressed anxiety,
perhaps had more to do with the ac
quittal of her betrothed than any
other feature of the trial.
Iiouored already and still commands

personally he is brave, knightly,warm
hearted and generous. But may it not
be asked, without personal disrespect
and with the highest appreciation of
bis military services, what are his
qualifications for the office we are now
called on to fill? His pursuits have
been so foreign to the consideration
of those questions, the study of which
would qualify for the duties of Gover
nor, and he has been so forgetful.of or
inattentive to the public affairs of th»
State, that he recently issued a public
invitation to attend his inaugural on a

fixed by law for this interesting and

Take* Hia Leave of tbe Albany
Congregation
Last Sunday was marked by an event
in tbe Hebrew Congregation of Albany
which will Jong be remembered for its
solemnity and soulstirring impressive
ness by every one, whether be be Jew or
Gentile, who attended the service at the
Synagogue in this city. The occassion
was the confirmation of a class of six
—five girls and one boy—in the He
brew faith, and the farewell address of
Rabbi A. Meyer, who has been minis
tering to this congregation for the last
twenty months. Tbe subjects of con
firmation w*ere: Miss Eva Brown,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Brown;
Miss Emma Greenfield, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. D., Greenfield; Misses
Minnie and Stella Ehrlich, daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ehrlich; Miss
Minnie Peiser, daughter of the late
Seigmund Peiser, aud now residing
with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
M. Strauss, of this city; and Master
Henry Gortatowskv, son of Mr. M. D.
Gortatowsky.
The beautiful and impressive rites of
Hebrew confirmation,such as were per
formed on this occassion, were some
thing new to most of the congregation
—even to many of the Jews. The Syna
gogue was elaborately and tastfully de
corated with evergreens and rich floral
designs, and every preparation bad
been made by the Rabbi and the can
didates for confirmation; assisted by
the officers and ladies of the congrega
tion, for the imposing ceremony.
After the usual morning worship by
the congregation, the candidates for
confirmation, preceded by little girls
scattering flowers in their path, ad
vanced np the central aisle to the chan
cel and ascended the platform. Each
candidate bore a floral design emble
matic of some virtue or cardinal prin
ciple embraced in the Hebrew faith.
When they had arranged themselves
in a semi-circle facing the congregation,
Miss Eva Brown advanced to the altar
and delivered, in a most impressive
manner, the following beautiful pray
er:
All wise and most loving Father!
Bright and glorious is nature’s confir
mation of thy sublime law. Eloquent
ly does creation’s still sweet voice
confirm the glad tidiugs of the sacred
words. We trace thy might, thy love,
thy benigu goodness everywhere, the
spacious blue SKy, with the bright
luminaries, the gay fields decked with
verual splendor, the br>ght and glor
ious scenery that surrounds us every
where, all proclaim thy gracious and
loving attributes.
“Wondrous truths, and manifold as
wondrous, hast thou, O God, written iu
those stars above, but dot less in the
bright flowers umlef us stands the

are to human tilings; and with child-
like credulous affection we behold
their tender buds expand, emblems of
the bright and better land.” This glor
ious harmony -between thy works of
uature and the sublime law of our
holy religion inspire us with the beauty
and hoUuess of our confirmation. To
raise our hearts to Thee, O God of love,
to accept graciously our floral offer

been with us, protected us from all
perils, evils and dangers; hast blessed
us with dear affectionate parents and
kind teachers, untiring in their zeal to
confirm ns in all that is true, good and
noble. Bless us, Father; continue to
vouchsafe Thy care and protection over
us weak and inexperienced children.
May truth and piety adorn the sanc

the holy shrine in which Thy law the
expression of thy will is kept. In or

of virtue and nobleness evolving from
our lite may rejoice the hearts of our
beloved parents, and confirm the
hopes of kind friends. Baruch.

and adoration unto Thee, God and
Father, that Thou hast preserved our
lives to stand now before Thee in the
midst of the congregation whose faith
shall henceforth be our faith, and
whose hopes be also our hopes.
IS THB LAW.”
An impressive part of the ceremony
was the unfolding of the sacred scroll
and reading therefrom in Hebrew the
Ten Commandments. The Hebrew
was read by Henry Gortatowsky, and
the girls repeated the English transla
tion after him.
THR ORPHAN’S PRAYER.
The following prayer, delivered by
Minnie Peiser, touched every heart:
Almighty God , ruler over life and
death. In this solemn hour of my
on, when the most earnest
are aroused in my
the image of my dear father is present
before my mental sight. In thy in
scrutable providence bast thou taken
him away from thesceneof bis earthly
career and left me a young orphan
child. How bitter is tbe grief that
now prevades my soul! How griev-
eously do I feel the want of a father!
But though he is not here to greet and
embrace me on this important day
of my life, he looks down from
heaven’s height with paternal love and
gives me his saintly blessing. Ob, let
me feel his presence, let his memory be
eushrined in the sanctuary of my
heart, to inspire me with all that is
true, noble and good, so that I may be
worthy to be admitted with him when I
am called hence. Merciful and benign
art Thou Eternal God. Bereft{tboagn 1
am of my earthly father, thou bast not
abandoned me to tbe cold mercies ot
the world, for thou art (Abi Yesom-
in) the father of the fatherless, the
protector of all those who are without
strength. Yes, Almighty God, in Thee
have I put my trust; to Thee do I lift
my eyes. Help me with intelligence,
wisdom and counsel. Guide me with
Thy right hand and shelter me with Thy
wings. Bless, O God, my dear mother,
uncles and : unts, relatives and
friends. Amen.
The choir was an important factor
in the impressive ceremonies of this
occasion. Tbe prayers, reading and
admonitions were interspersed with
chants and solos by the choir,with Miss
Emma Wrssolowsky at the organ.
A detailed report of the entire con
firmation exercises cannot be given in
the limited space to which we are con
fined, but tbe prayers of the chOdren
were all so beautiful that we print
them in full. These prayers not only
furnish many ideas and cardinal prin
ciples taught in tbe Jewish religion, for
the general reader, but will be prized
and treasured when printed in this
connection, by the principal actors In
the ceremonies of this occasion, and
their relatives and friends. The pray
ers that follow are not printed in the
exact order in which they were deliv
ered during the ceremonies:
PRAYER OF MISS MINNIE EHRLICH.
Praises and thanks to Thee, Al
mighty God, for the blessings and
divine instruction of this happy hour
of our confirmation, Thou bast eu-
lighteued us in Thy Law which teaches
us what to do and what to avoid. We
know, O God, whereon our happiness,
here and hereafter, depends. Grant

words of this prayer pronounced by
the fair daughter-of Israel that many
in the congregation were moved to

candidates deposited their floral offer
ing’s in the holy shrine with the sa
cred scroll or Sefer Thora. The child-
ren were then catechised by the
Rabbi upon the cardinal principles and
established doctrines of tbe Hebrew
faith. The readiness with which
each candidate answered tbe questions
propounded showed earnest study and
careful training. Indeed,tbe familiar
ity with the Mosaic law evinced by the
entire class, without exception, was
really remarkable for children rang
ing in age from twelve to thirteen
years. While the examination was
thorough, and was intended to bring
out tbe religious and moral law as re
vealed to Moses on Ht. Sinai, and a
clear enunciation of the cardinal doc
trines of the Hebrews, every question
was answered promptly and without a
second’s hesitation. After hearing the
examination of the candidates, no one
could have doubted that they compre
hended tbe faith which they professed
and the confirmation vows which they
took upon themselves. A beautiful
thought expressed by one of the candi
dates was that this world is butan ante
chamber, onr existence temporary,and
we must prepare for entrance Into the
heavenly palace.
Each candidate for confirmation de
livered a prayer at some appropriate
time during the lengthy ceremonies,
and these prayers, so feelingly uttered,
melted the hearts of nearly every one
in the Urge congregation, including
many Gentiles who were present by
special invitation. The utterances of
these “Hebrew Children” seemed to
come from the heart; tears trickled
down the unfurrowed cheeks of tbe
young worshippers as they addressed
their well selected words of praise and
supplication to God; aud the effect
upon tbe entire congregation was to
courage to keep sacred tbe holy prom
ises we made before Thee to-day.
Grant, O God, that Israel become glad
of our *fellowship, and that the foud.
bright hopes of our dear parents and
friends be realized in us. We beseech
Thee,_Gracions God, to preserve within
us the' holy and earnest emotions now
alive in our hearts, 60 that no tempta
tions or trials that stand opposed to
godliness and virtue ever have any in
fluence over our conduct in life,' but
fortify our hearts with a too firm con
viction in the truth of Thy sublime
law, to shield us from any allure
ments that may lead us astray to sin
and error.
May tbe memory of this sacred con
firmation day ever animate us with a
constant unwavering reliance on thy
love and care. Thns shall we pass our
pilgrimage on earth, in accordance
with Thy sacred will, and in accord
ance with our holy mission.
We beseech Thee, Gracious God, to
bless our beloved parents for the love,
affection, kinduess and forbearauee,
for the instruction and advice they
lavish on us; bless them, O God, with
long happy life. Bless Israel and this
congregation. Bless our beloved

RABBI SIKTER TAKES LEAVE OF THE AL
BANY CONGREGATION.
Before rrmonneinghls blessing upon
those whom he had confirmed in the
Hebrew faith, Rabbi Meyer delivered a
briet address and bade farewell to the
Albany Hebrew Congregation, this
being tbe last time that he would
officiate for them. His engage
ment .with the congregation had ter
minated. He felt and knew that he had
accomplished some good daring the
twenty months of his labor here, and
felt thankful that he had been permit
ted to experience the joy of this con
firmation day. His thanks were re
turned to the congregation and to Mr.
A. Sterne, the President and Mr. B.
Brown. Vice-President, especially lor
courtesies and personal kindnesses dur

NATIONALITY AND MESSIANIC HOPES.
The following address was delivered
by Henry Gortatosky just before the
“laying on of bands” and tbe pro
nouncement of the blessing by the
Rabbi:
1 am a Hebrew, and worship tbe
Lord ot Heaven. Mr.
ladies and gentlemen: It was tbe will
of God that tbe Hebrew shall be a citi
zen of tbe world, to be tbe banner-
bearer of the pure religious idea, to
carry everywhere the torch of spir' toal
light into the darkest abode ol hu
manity. Notwithstanding no one was
more before tbe world, nor less con
cealed his real identity, yet, no one
was more misunderstood. Daring
centuries and centuries calumniators
arose wbo labored to make the name
of Hebrew a reproach and a by-word
in the eyes of the world. But praised
be God, times have changed now*. ’As
far as Intelligence, education, the culti
vation of science and arts, integrity of
character and purity, domestic, social,
private and public virtues are con
cerned, the Hebrew is viewed in the
right light, wheresoever the golden

—Ti»e Alapaha Star blows its born
nicely thus: “If the people who are

bolstering and hence these personal ap
peals.”
—The DeKalb Chronicle, General
Gordon ’s home pa per, gives the fol
lowing interesting description of the
lovely home of “our next Governor:”
“General John B. Gordon, our riext
Governor, has one of tbe most beauti

wood. His residence Is a handsome
structure, in tbe midst of a most lovely

gracefully sloping from bis residence

the place is heavenly, and makes a
home fit for monarchs. Here the Gen
eral and his happy family live, sur
rounded by everything that makes life
worth living. He has resided here for
a long, long while.”
