EDITORIAL NOTES.
Georgia Democracy will honor it
self on the 9th in sending a solid Cleve
land delegation to the St- Louis con
vention.
Captain W. W. Gordon, of Chat
ham, has been endorsed by the Chat
ham Democracy, as a candidate for
Congress. There was a time when “as
Chatham, so went the District,*' we
will have to await developments to
prognosticate now, but we are satisfied
that a safer, truer representative than
Captain Gordon could not be found.

Absolutely Pure.
From the description in the Consti
tution of the sucessful conduct of the
Atlanta Match Factory, the removal
of the tax on matches does not seem to
have proved a disaster to that industry
In America. The fact is, the statement
that the reduction of the tax on r.eces-
| saries will paralyze American indus-
| try Is a cracked chestnut of long
standing.

Ladies capable ol executing such
beautiful art work, that illustrates
their refilled natures, cultivated tastes
and tender sensibilities, could never
dissemble so successfully, and, while
congratulating their successful rivals
with such show of pleasure, feel the
pangs of envy gnaw at their hearts. If
such a charge were preferred, we
shonid re pell it with all the indigna
tion and force that the occasion de
manded ; for the most charming genius
onr people {possess, is that ot being
gratified at others sneeess, even at
their own discomfiture.
One of the secrets of true happiness is
the ability tofind enjoyment of the lame
and success of others. It is no less the
essence of m wise philosophy than the
spirit of Holy Writ, to covet not the

CURE OF
CANCER and ULCERS.
Judge T. C. McLendon writes to the Swift
Spectae Co., Atlanta, Oa_, under data of Feb
ruary 14,1»S: “About three years ago, Jerry
Bradley, * colored man, had a cancerous sore
on his face, near the right eye. It cansed
him a great deal of pain, and he lost the sight
of the ey*. but was Anally cared of the cancer
by the use of Swift's Specific. This case Is
wen known In Wilkes Co., Ga, where he lived
(near Danbury), and of this case, Lynyself,
had personal knowledge.’*
Mr. L. Cox, ot Arkabutla, Tate Co., Miss,
writes, February 24, lflBS: •• I suffered a great
deal from old ulcers for six years. Your med
icine was recommended to me, and after
using six bottles, I was completely cured. I
never saw Its equal as a Blood Purifier. My
neighbors will use uo other. Your medicine

known it to cure cases which were thought to

to the plants will have to be cut away

PART OF HER EYE IS A RABBIT'S.
A Delicate Surgical Operation Per
formed For tDeTIUrd Time.
Philadelphia Special.
One of the most delicate and notable
surgical operations performed in the
world occurred in this city to-day, it
being the transplanting of a portion of
the eye of a rabbit to the eye of a hu
man being. The object of the opera
tion was to relieve the obscurity of the
eye of the patient, which was caused
by inflammation and which produced
in time an opaque surface. The pa
tient was a servant girl, whose eyes
had become almost totally useless, so
far as vision was concerned, by reason
of the whitish coating which made both
of the orbits opaque, and she was so
nearly blind that objects of considera
ble size was barely d ! -'. nguishable.
The operation took place at the Ger
mantown Hospital, under the imme
diate direction of Dr. LI Webster Fox,
the ophthalmic surgeon of the institu
tion, who witnessed one of the two
other operations of this nature which
have been performed In the world—in
Germany last year—both performed by
Professor Yon Hippie,, of Giessen,
Germany. The Professor has first de
vised and had manufactured for the
purpose a very delicate instrument,

they never heeded the torn of the tide,
and only when it was an ntter impos
sibility to get back by the way they
had come did they realize the danger
ous position in which they were plax*d
In flowing the tide sets around the
cave in such a way that, whilst inside
there is a large space of dry rocks
and shingle, there is outside a con
siderable depth of water, which
increases as the tide rises, ulti
mately filling the cave. So long
as there was comparatively dry footing
the boys were not alarming, but when
they found the tide advancing upon
them, and compelling a refuge to be
made further and farther into the
cave, they realized their peril. Soon
the occupants of the care found It im
possible to recede further. To avoid
the rise of the water several of the boys
climbed as high up the walls of the
cave as possible. Others had no alter
native but to stand pressed up against
the end of cavern and allow water to
grad mil ly creep in upon them. Higher
aud higher rose the water, and deeper
and deeper the lads became immersed.
until some of them were covered up to
the shoulders. They all managed,
however, to keep erect, notwithst&nd*
ing their weakened condition produce
by shouting for help and numbness
arising from being compelled to
stand In the water. Now and
again a broken wave would
dash in amongst them, rendering
their position still more perilous.
Moreover, the cave was nearly dark,
all the lads* lights having been pat oat
except one, which had escaped the
wash cf the waves, and continued to
give forth its feeble illumination. All
thought the inevitable had come, yet
the commendable pluckiness of the
bigger lads in cheering the lesser ones
materially assisted their companions
in not entirely losing hope. One o!
the boys at last, from sheer want ol
strength, was washed from his hold
ing, but soon another lad standiug
near groped in the dark, and
nothing but the cries of his comrade
to guide him, succeeded in again re
storing him to his feet. In the mean
time the lads had been missed lrom
their homes, and their continued ab
sence caused inquiries to be made.
This resulted in their whereabouts be
coming known. A rumor then got
abroad that the boys bad been drown
ed, and soou fathers, mothers, broth
ers, sisters, and a large body of other
men, women and children rushed offin
eager haste to the top of the clilL There
was no way of reaching them fromV
shore, uorwas there-any possibility;
going down the precipitous face of/t
cliff with ropes. Indeed, bpfl-'there
been such au opportunity, .-the dark
ness which followed^ afrsr the carry
ing out all other suggestions had failed
prevented such an undertaking, al
though there were plenty of men wil-
the risk. Nothing
ling to undergo _
conld therefore be done by the hun”
dreds of people who had collected
than to wait in agony and suspense
until the fall of the tide would admit
of access to the cave from the shore.
Alt this time the imprisoned and sub
merged lads had passed a terrible
time, but just when they thought the
worst had come the water stopped ris
ing. This was not a minute too soon,
as a rise of a few more inches would
have been the means of drowning
every one of them. Slowly the water
left the cave, and in a short time the
boys felt themselves in comparative
safety, altough in darkness. It was,
however, 10:30 o’clock at night before
the lads were rescued.

Robert Garrett is now journeying up
the Nile. He is in excellent health,
prime spirits, and Is again enjoying
the physical bouyancy of boyhood.
He will return home next October. The
news was brought to New York this
week by C. R. McKenzie, the Phila
delphia passenger agent for the Balti
more and Ohio railroad.
• Think of playing the American na
tional game—I mean poker, of coarse,
and not base ball—with a real king.
McKenzie enjoyed that distinction.
Mr. Garrett’s party had scarcely been
quartered at their hotel in Honolulu,
when the royal chamberlain, of the
Haw*aiian monarch, called upon them
and said that King Kalakaua would be
pleased to have the gentlemen of the
party take dinner with him, but prior
thereto begged them to witness a boat
race that day between a Hawaiian
crew and a crew from an American
man-of-war lying in the harbor. The
royal chamberlain escorted them to
the King’s sea palace, which Is situated
on a rock beyond Pacific’s angry
breakers. The royal chamberlain con
ducted them thither, and Kalakaua
greeted them most graciously. Mac
kenzie was surprised to Had tha black
cabin in the Alleghany mountains in
West Virginia, twenty-five years ago.
A woman was anxiously bending over
a sick child tossing and muttering in
the unrest of fever. Every now and
then the word ‘father* escaped the
child’s lips.
‘That child grieves powerfully after

her father,* said one of the neighbors,
who had come to help the mother nurse
the ill child.
‘That she does,' replied the poor
mother, with a weary sigh. * ‘He al
ways sets a world of store by her. It
almost broke her little heart when he
went to the war, and since she has
been sick site has begged for him the

question: “Why do women moisten
their lips when they are looked at ?”
The subject is usually brought forward
in the shape of a positive declaration,
some men going so far as to declare
that they and their friends have been
experimenting for over a year upon
the nnconscious ladles of the city, and
that the test never fails.
“All yon have to do,” says one of
these, “is to sit opposite a lady in a
car or'bos and look at her intently
without rudeness, and, as sure as you
do so she will moisten both her lips.
She must be some onq you are not ac

„ fluently and reminding him
much of Chester A. Arthur. His
greeting to Mr. Garrett was decidedly
fanny. “Mr. Garrett,” he said, “I’m
pleased to meet you. We have a bond
of union. You have just tried to bor-
I have just borrow-
row $5,000,000 and
ed $2,000,000.” No one'lauglied at
this sally more heartily than Mr. Gar
rett himself. At a signal from the
royal chamberlain four fat Negroes in
the royal livery approached, each
bearing a solid silver salver as big as
the top of a writing desk—presents
from Queen Isabella, of Spain—aud
each ladened with twelve glasses ol
champagne. One servitor approached
the King, who was the first
to take a glass from the tray. The
tlemen “ ** - - -
other gentlemen followed bis exam
ple, except Mr. Garrett, who daring
the trip abstained rigidly from al
stimulants. The King nodded his
head, threw it back, parted his lips,
raised the glass, and the spark
ing beverage disappeared in a flash
Mackenzie eyed the royal gullet en
viously. Without a second’s delay the
first servitor backed away and a sec
ond approached with twelve more
brimming glasses. Again the King
nodded his head and again the wine
was suddenly absorbed. And so with
id
the third and fourth servitors until the
it glasses of champagne had
accomplished the purpose of their be
ing. Then they were ready for the
race. It was actually for a purse of
$17,000. The entire population of the
town, 14,000 in number, turned out to
witness the contest, a majority of
them viewing it from the ocean on
which they disported, particularly the
girls, like denizens of the deep. Mac
kenzie, to inaugurate himself with the
King, bet $100 on the Hawaiian crew
and then told his majesty what he had
done. Instead of receiving a royal
smile he was astonished by Kalakaua
tying qnietiy, “Indeed, bnt I wish the
Americans to win.”
said Mae-
Atnei
“Why, yonr Majesty?’
kenzie in surprise.
“Well, I have bet $1,000 on them,
that is why,” was the frank response.
The Hawaiians in a race of eight miles
won by about 10 feet, but in conse
quence of the royal wager it was an
nounced that the American were the
victors.
But what about the poker?
1 come to that next.
Alter dinner in the sea palace the
King said: “Gentlemen, it is onr cus
tom after dinner to indulge in a game
of poker, with a limit of $5. Is that
agreeable to you?” Mr. Garrett and
a few other members of the party ex
pressed their lack of knowledge of the
game, but Mackenzie and a few others
determined to have a go at the Haw
aiian Treasury. The party was seated
in an immense hall and when the cards
had been shuffled there appeared at
one end of the apartment eight natives
with harps: in front of these eight
mandolin players; a third row was
made op or eight cloristers and finally
in front of all, eight of the loveliest of
of the royal concubines took positions.
While the singers warbled to the ac-
companiament of harps and mandolins,
the girls swaved their bodies
cured most gracefully, the n
of their limbs being faintly
through diaphanous robes. The me
lodies were American and consisted

railroad Milloualre, and the reference
was plainly intended as a compliment.
But this divertisement was almost too
much for Mackenzie’s calmness of
mind, and as a result he soon found
himself several hundred dollars poorer
than when he entered the place. The
Hawaiian treasury appeared very for
away. Bnt jnst then, during a large
jack-pot, he found three kings in his
land, and after considerable betting
all the players except Kalakaua laid
down their hands* He had three
queens. He dallied with Mackenzie

a due bill for $200. beneath which he
signed “Kalakaua, Rex.” Mackenzie
looked dismayed, bnt said nothing.
Early next morning, however, while
he was at breakfast with the the ladies

and his office by Gen. Adam and a
friend, who had left the post office a
few minutes earlier and were proceed

DIED GAME.
“The latter experienced considerable
difficulty in drawing his pistol, but
finally succeeding, he fired rapidly.
The third shot by Gen. Adams caused
Mr. Martin to fall fiat on his back.
After a few seconds, however, he par
tially rose, and steadying himself on
his elbow, shot Gen. Adams directly
through the heart, killing him instant
ly. Mr. Martin lived a few minutes
only, remarking to Charles Campbell:
Seems to me she might get well if she
conld jnst see her father, and it
wouldn’t fall so hard on me, either, if
he was here.'
Several days went by aniT“littiL
Sallie, the sick child, grew worse. At
length the mother wrote an argent let
ter. to her husband, out of the agony or
her heart, imploring him to come home
at all costs if he wished to see his little
danghter alive again. Once more he
asked for a furlough and again he was
refused. An engagement was pend
ing. The enemy’s force was greatly
superior to oars and not a man .conld
be spared. \
John Ball was a brave man; and had
proved that in many an engagement.
Nothing could have tempted him to
swerve from bis duty as a soldier, ex
desire to see his child
cept his frantic
once more. Under the pressure of
this feeling, he left the camp against
orders,, and fled to bis rude cabin
among the Alleghanies just in time to
see little Sal lie’s face light up once
more with a gleam of joyful recogni
tion and to receive her parting kiss.
To this he had incurred the brand of
deserter, and bad taken his life into his
hands.
RETURNING TO THR RANKS.
Scarcely were the child’s remains
interred than he, without waiting to
comfort his sorrow stricken wife, start
ed back to camp, intending to throw
himself ou the mercy of his command
er for exculpation of an offense com
mitted under so overwhelming a pres
sure, or if the worst to meet his fate
like a man. But a new complication
bad arisen. During the few days he
had been absent the men on either side
had changed their position like the
figures on a chess-board, and the ene
my’s troops had come between him
and his command. He had traveled
through a cold, drenching rain, sleep
ing at night in a forest to lessen the
risk ef falling into the enemy’s hands.
He began to feel a strange stupor
creeping over him and was jnst
to drag himself to the house of a
friendly countryman, who took him
in and kept him for the next few
weeks, during which time he lay ill of
pneumonia. Just as he was beginning
to convalesce, and before he had time
to voluntarily give himself np, he was
arrested as a deserter. His wife fol
lowed him to camp and pleaded for
him, telling the cause of his desertion
with ail the rude eloquence that strong
emotion could dictate and taking the
blame on herself. In vain; he was
tried and condemed by every rule of
war as a deserter. The comuiandiug
officer, however, made this concession
to the agonized wife—he would deter
the executions for three days so as to
give her time to go to Richmond
and implore the clemency of President
Jefferson Davis, which was now the
sole hope for the prisoner’s life.
GOING TO PLEAD FQR HER HUSBAND.
Like Jennie Deans going to plead
before the queen for her sister’s life,
the simple mountain woman went to
the Confederate capital and pleaded
her husband’s cause before Jefferson
Davis.
She had it. In her power to prove that
he had shown himself a brave soldier;
that he had not left the camp from
cowardice, or defection from the cause,
bht from bis overwhelming love for
his dying child ; and his intense desire
to see her once more before she passed
away. Davis finally granted the man’s
pardon aud drew up a papor to that
effect, which he gave to a messenger,
directing him to take the next train
and carry the dispatch to the prisoners
commanding officer. He moreover,
gave the woman a duplicate paper, to
make her husband’s release the more
certain.
Joyfully she started off with the pre
cious document that was to carry life
and liberty to her beloved, husband.
The~cars all seemed too slow for her
burning impatience. The train was
always heavily loaded in those days;
there was so much traveling to and fro,
so ranch shifting of the troops from one
point to another. From hard and con
stant use during the war the railroads

She h id to endnre it, though each
moment seemed to her j.n hoar. At
length she was speeding on her way
. and In a few hours more she
reached her destination. She and Da
vis’s messenger started together in a
wagon for the camp urging the driver
to almost frantic haste. As they near
ed the camp the oand of a volley of
guns made the poor wife shiver and
turn pale. They reached the camp.
She conld not ask a question, but the
messenger requested that they should
be conducted to the commander’s tent.
Silently she handed him the president’s
j >aper. He took it, read it with white
i ace and lips and silently turned away
terrf-
from her. It was too late; the
ble truth was borne to her without a
word being spoken. With a heart
rending shriek she lell insensible on

rn mi n around her lifted her up and
ministered to her and tears stood in
many a veteran’s eyes over the sorrow-
stricken woman.
The commanding officer bad defer

late into the afternoon of the third day.
Then thirteen men Irora another regi

and twelve of them were given mask- 1

had shot in it. The thirteenth man
was held in reserve In case of the first
shot not doing the work effectually
and to reuder the scene more harrow
ing thi3 actually proved to be case, so
the thirteenth man was called on to
give the death wound to the ill-fated
John Ball. This man declared after
ward to a friend that this was the most
terrible moment of bis life, and that he
would rather have undergone death
himself than to be called on to fulfill
such a task. I have given a fictitious
name to the prisoner, but in all other
respects I have adhered to facts.
THE WIFE’S FATE.
When the wife recovered from her
swoon her brain was so deranged by
the terrible blow that she seemed

it is done at •II badly she resents it and

to be curious about her, as you were
studying something about her bair oi

to see who she was like, she will be
positively certain to perform this queei
operation.”

Those who have yielded to the in

If any one were to tell her that the

of salt pork and pie for some form of

This action of the lips and tongue is
not mysterious, It is metely one of a
score of ways in which human beings,
especially the more self-conscious ones
among ns, testify to momentary em
barrassment, and make an involuntary
mechanical movement in reasserting
our self-possession. An equally famil
iar and more noticeably unconslous
trick of the same kind is that which
European peasant men and women
have and bring to tills country with
them—a movement of the back of the
hand across the mouth. Another action
of the sort is the biting of the under
lip. Men who are taken by surprise
by some one’s staring at them, often
throw their eyes upward to the sky or
ceiling, and the trick ot casting the
eyes down is credited by poets, novel
ists and actors to shy yonug country
maidens. But whether the New York

That Baconian Cipher Book-

New$ and Advertier.
Iam at a loss to understand how
any mere ciphers and cabalistic signs
can be made to convey, to the Intelli
gent mind, more satisfactory conclus
ions than those evolved from historical
facts or contemporaneous testimony.
From the vast stores of learning,
versatility of sentiment and philosophy
displayed in some world-reuowed
dramas, it has finally been decided
that their reputed author had access to
other and greater resources than his
own.
Upon such barren hypothesis is pre
dicated the equally fruitless quibble,
that Francis Bacon, aud, possibly Sir
Walter Raleigh, furnished the subject
matter, if not the brains, in the con
struction of theramons plays in con
troversy.
These titled gentlemen, the one a
Lord and the other a Sir Knight,
afraid of incurring the censure attach
ing, at that time, to anything of a
theatrical nature, actually preferred
leaving to., the then obscure poetaster,
Shakespea re, an immortality of fame
that will go sounding down the ages to
the “last syllable of recorded time.”
The innovation now attempted, to
establish Lord Bacon’s claim to dra
matic authorship, is entitled to no
more weight than other theories cmi-
nating from like suppositions resources.
Francis Bacon was an essayest, a
jhilosophical writer almost exclusive-
y. Had he possessed any faculty for
dramatic composition, even In limited
degree, it would, somewhere, be mani
fested in his accredited writings. I
cite the instance of Sir Philip Francis
and his Junius letters to show, as in
his case, that an author may conceal
his chirography but not his' peculiar
manner and style. Sir Walter
Raleigh, was endowed with talents of

you are poor. Yonr profit and your

in anoQialous state of things? Is it
not worth your while to reason out the
why and wherefore of the anomaly?

stills? Is it not because your ex-

Is it not because you have to pay for
ilmost everything that you buy more
■ ban any other farmer In civilized
countries is obliged to pay? Make
vmir calculations for yourself. Yon
pay more for your iron, in all its forms
than any European pAys. That means
you pay a premium on agricultural
implements—on plows, cultivators,
spades, shovels, hoes, thrashers, corn
cutters, pitchforks,' manure forks,
mowing machines, hammers, hatchets,
knives, calls, tacks—and everything,
big or little, into the compositon of
which that metal enters.
And this is not all. Yon have been
paying a premium on a great many
other things—on your clothing, for in
stance ; on the clothing of- your wife
aud the clothing of your children. In
directly, you are paying the taxon the
clothing of your farm hands and the
women employed in your household.
In order that American manufactur
ers should be encouraged, you are pay
ing a debts to all American manufac
turers. You are told that a duty is lev
ied on importations of foreign goods.
But you pay this duty, if yon buy the
,—, •- It f ' **
foreign goods. You pay it in part, if
you buy the American goods of the
same sort; for the American manufac
turers naturally puts bis prices as near
as possible to the mark fixed by law
for the foreigner. If the European
manufacturer cannot sell a yard of a
certain sort of cloth in the American
market for less than 10 cents, why
should the American who manufac
tures tiie same sort of cloth sell it for 6
cents, to keep the market for himself?
Perhaps he could sell it for Scents and
make a profit, but why should he? In
the scheme of busiuess morality there
Is no reason why he should. And he
does not.
A tax is levied upon foreign imports.
Who pays it? The foreign manufac
turer? No; he get his price from the
American importer. The American
manufacturer? No: he makes his
price, as nearly as he can, what the
foreign manufacturer charges. Who
pays the tax then ? Well, you do for
one. You pay it on almost everything
yon bny. Y6n pay it cent by cent and
dollar by dollar. You pay the frac
tion of a cent on the tin plated iron
spoon with which you stir your corn
meal, boiled into what is called “sup-
pawn” in New York, “hasty pudding”
n New England, and “mush” in Illi
nois and the rest of the United States.
You pay $1, perhaps, on yonr plow,
and $5, or $10, it may be, on your
mowing machine or your thrasher.
You pay a dime on a felt hat that
keeps the sun off your head all the
long summer’s day; you pay from$l
to $10 on the clothes you wear. Cent
by cent, dime by dime, dollar by dol-
lar this tax is collected out of your
daily, weekly, monthly, yearly expen-
Yon will be told, we suppose, that
it is your duty to pay this tax for the
good of the country. Judge for your
self how far it is for the good of the
country by a simple study of easily
accessible figures. If you who are en
gaged in agricultural operations there
are in this country more than 7,670,000.
Of those engaged in trades or manu
facturers which subject them to for
eign competition, the highest official
estimate is under 906,000. So that you
7,670,000 are taxed to support 906,000,
and of these 906,000 how many receive
their fair proportion of the tax you
pay? We caimot tell you. But you can
see for yonrseive3 that every year
thousands of workmen employed in
“protected” industries are clamoring
for higher wages and “striking” to
get them. Don’t you think it would
pay you to find out where your money
goes?
