THE LIGHT RUNNING “DOMESTIC,’’
THE STAR THAT LEADS THEM ALL,
Is Made Upon Honor, and Sold Upon Merit.
“UNTO HOW MANY.”
Rob«rt Buchanan.
Unto how maty men each hour
Frail little fingers seek to bring
Some gentle gift of love, some flower
That is the Soul’s best offering?
Some happiness which we despise,
. Some boon we toss aside forever—
And only that our selfish eyes
May smile one moment on the giver,
How many of us count our treasure,
The little lives that perish thus,
To garner us a moment’s pleasure,
A moment’s space to comfort us?
Blind, ever blind, we front the sun
And cannot see the angels near us,
Forget the tender duties done
By willing slaves to help and cheer us
Earth and its fulness, all the fair,
Creations of this heaven and air,
All lives which die that we may live,
All gifts of service, we pass by.
All blessings Love bath power to give
We scorn, O God, or we deny!

Mr. Maxfield was a very positive
maD; when he was sure of a thing
he was very sure, and as he some
times jumped at conclusions, he
occasionally found himself iu a
disagreeable predicament.
“Hannah,” he said to his wife,
coming out into the kitchen one
morning in hot haste, “what
earth have you done with that pack
age of papers I left on the mantel in
the sitting room? I wish to good
ness you would let my things alone
so that I could ever find them.:
“Well, I have left them alone
this time,” answered Hannah, rath
er sharply. “I didn’t even know
there were any papers there.
“What’s the use of talking so?”
said Mr. Maxfield. “I put them
there before breakfast, and there
hasn’t a soul been into the room
but you. Do try and think what
you have done with them?’
Mrs. Maxfield worked away
silence. Mr. Maxfield walked
around the kitchen once or twice,
lifted the stove lid, and then spoke
again.
“Suppose I shall have to wait
your pleasure, but my time is worth
something, so if you will tell me
as soon as possible, you will great-

sink. Mrs. Maxfield took a pie
from the oven and carried it to the
pantry without vouchsafing any re
ply.
“I wish those everlasting papers
had been in Halifax,” thought Mr.
Maxfield, as he washed. “No use in
trying to do everything to-day,
you’ll get used up,” he said, bury
ing his face in the long towel as he
spoke.
“Don’t fret about me. Take care
of your papers, and I’ll see to my
self,” was the icy reply, and Mr.
Maxfield subsided.
He repeated his efforts at night,
but with no better success.
“I’ll try the phaeton to-morrow,
but I.don’t know as even that will
fetch her,” he thought as he lay
down to sleep. Accordingly he be
gan at the breakfast table.
‘I’ve been looking over things
and figuring a little, Hannah, and
I don’t see but I could spare you
enough for that phaeton, if- you
want it.”
Hannah passed him his coffee as
cooly and unconcernedly as though
he had spoken of buying a pound
of cheese, or something like that.
“You would like that, wouldn’t
you?” querried Mr. Maxfield anx
iously.
“No, John Maxfield; at present I
wouldn’t even look at it. I meant
exactly what I said, and I still mean
it.”
‘Blame it I” thought the unfor
tunate man, “she is bound I shall
apologize, and she won’t forget
what I said about the phaeton eith-
If she would only ask if I’ve

nor touched your papers, John.”
“And I tell you yon mast have.
I know positively that I pat them
there before breakfast; they are
gone now, and you were the only
person in the room.”
Mrs. Maxfield’s face turned
crimson. She was busy and tired,
and this last remars was too much
for her.
“John,” she said, very clearly
and decidedly, “no one, not even
my husband, shall as good as tell
me I lie, without apologizing for
it. I shall hare nothing to say
about your papers or anything else
until you do.”
In her way Mrs. Maxfield was
just as positive as her husband.
She did not usually jump at con
clusions as he did, but once she
came to one, she Was there body
and soul. Mr. Maxfield concluded
at this juncture, for the present at
least, he had best betake himself
elsewhere. So trying his best to
appear unconcerned, he sauntered
out into the hall, took up his hat
and found underneath it, on the
hall table, those miserable papers.
“Con-foundjthem!” he said, with
much emphasis, under his breath,
secreting them in his pocket. It
came to him like a flash; just after
he had put them on the mantel he
thought he saw Lawyer Grover
comiDg down the street, and wish
ing to hand them to him he had
hurried to the door, only to find it
was not Mr. Grover after all.
When he went back he put them
down with his hat without think
ing-
And there I’ve gone and riled
Hannah up for nothing. Why in
the name of goodness couldn’t I
have held my tongue until I had
looked around a little, anyway?
Great Scott! I would rather plow a
ten-acre lot ten times over. What
in the world shall I do? I wonder
if I nonldn’t sort of work her aronnd
without actually giving in? Good
ness, it makes me sweat to think of
having to own up deliberately af
ter all I said that I put the misera
ble good-for-nothing things away
myself. I don’t know but I’d rath
er take the money out of the bank
and give her the phaeton she’s
been wanting these two years. I
declare 1 believe I would”
Now Mr. Maxfield did not think
all this at once; it came to him in
snatehes as he went about his work,
and when he came in to dinner he
was blandness itself.
‘How are you getting on with
your baking?” he querried as he
performed his ablutions at the
found them, so that I could sort of
explain it along easy, and not have
to come ouc plump and say I was
so mistaken.”
But Hannah had no intention of
doing any such thing, and the day
wore on in comparative silence.
To-morrow would be their wed
ding anniversary. Were they to
spend that day of all days in this
fashion ? Mr. Maxfield tossed rest
lessly upon his pillow most of the
night. Mrs. Maxfield appeared to
sleep the sleep of the just, whether
she did or not.
Morning dawned at last, and Mr.

since it must be done, it must. “But
it will be the toughest job I’ve
struck for one spell,” ho said, as
he meditated in the barn.
He tried his best to think of
some easy way of putting it, but he
gave up in despair at last and start
ed for the house on a ran. Mrs.
Maxfield was in the kitchen busy
picking chickens, but there was a
suspicion of redness about her eyes*
and she had not gotten any farther
in her work than she was when he
went oat half an hour ago.
“I—was a blasted fool, Hannah I”
said Mr. Maxfield as quick as he
opened the door before he could
lose his courage.
“O, John!” said Mrs. Maxfield,
dropping the chicken to the floor
and springing to meet him. “O,
John, I am so thankful!”
“The dickens yon are! Well,
that’s a pretty go,” said he, trying
to laugh, but feeling rather misty
abont the eyes himself.
“You know what I mean,” sob

wouldn’t ever say anything, and I

“I guess I do Hannah, and I was

Washington Correspondence Atlanta Constitution*
This congress, owing to the re
publicans controlling the Senate,
and the democrats controlling th e
House, will accomplish bat little
work in the shape of actual new
legislation. The two parties can
agree on but few things.
Of coarse all the appropriation
bills will be adopted,but the House
will cut them down and hold them
down to the lowest possible figure,
An effort will be made to pass
several separate bills dealing with
the tariff question, but it is not
probable that the two parties can
agree upon anything of conse
qnence affecting this great ques
tion: The democrats of the House
will pass a free coinage bill, but
the chances are against it becom
ing a law.
There is, however, one measure
of great importance to the demo
cratic party which stands an excel
lent chance of adoption. That of
a bill admitting at least three and
perhaps all four of the territories.
New Nexico, Arizona and Oklaho
ma will probably be included in
one omnibus bill, and Utah will be
in a separate measure.
Three of these territories are
certainly democratic, and perhaps
the fourth will be. Oklahoma now
sends one republican delegate to
congress, bat that is probably due
to the influence of the present ad
ministration, which is republican,
appointed by President Harrison
The democrats certainly have a
good fighing chance in Oklahoma.
As to the other three territories,
there is no doubt but that each
will send democratic Senators and
Representatives when admitted.
They send democratic delegates
now.
All the bills for the admission
of New Mexico, Arizona and Okla
homa have been introduced by
democrats.
The bill for the admission of
Utah was introduced by Senator
Teller, of Colorado, a republican.
If these bills are passed through
the House the Senate will be com
pelled to adopt them,and the pres
ident cannot veto them in the face
of ttio prMojnnj Lc mot by signing
the bills for the admission of Ida
ho and Wyoming during the last
congress.
The admission of these territo
ries will certainly give the demo
crats six more Senators, and per
haps eight. These men would be
come members on the 4th of
March, 1893, when the next presi
dent will beswornin. The chances
are the democrats will elect the
next president. They will also
gain several Senators in the elec
tions next fall, and thus it would
seem that when the next president
is sworn in the democrats will
have all three branches of the gov
ernment. Then a tariff bill that
will be satisfactory to the country
can be passed.
Then a bill for free and unlimit
ed coinage of silver can be adopt-1
ed, and the democrat party should
remain in power for the next score
of years at least.
Indeed, the prospects for the
democrats in the next few years
seem very bright now, though
there are many things that could
happen to produce republican
clouds in the bright horizon of
democracy.

UNDERPRODUCTION.
Monroe Xdverttsar.
There is a good deal of surplus J In hunting for the causes of the
and unnecessary discussion going
on in regard to the democratic pol
icy, and this will continue to be
the case nntil the party in con
gress gives definite shape and form
to its pnrposeses. It is a matter
that can be disposed of without
any trouble or inconvenience, and
the sooner it is done the better.
There are democrats who are
willing to mold the party policy to
suit the views of a favorite candi
date, and who are aching to see
democracy take its stand, by indi
rection at least, on the financial
platform of the republicans. There
are others who desire to see the
campaign of 1888 repeated by
sending the party to the people on
a defensive tariff campaign. There
is confusion where there ought to
be unity. This is shown by the^fact
that Mr. Springer, after making in
his New York speech an allusion
to the silver question which would
seem to be incapable of miscon
struction, has found it necessary
to explain it. There are other
symptoms of confusion which need
not be dwelt on here. Discussion
is devolopinginto controversy, and
some of the brethren seem to be
more anxious to belittle a possible
rival of their favorite than to dis
cover anew to their readers the
wrongs and oppressions of republi
canism. Whims and notions are
mistaken for party principles and
the chief object of the democratic
organization—which is to secure
control of affairs so that the gov
ernment may be administered in
the best interests of the whole peo
ple—is in danger of neglect and
forgetfulness.
It is true that the democrats in
congress are not authorized to for
mulate the party platform, but it
is their duty to lay down a pro
gramme of legislation which will
not only unify and harmonize con
flicting views, but which will give
practical and progressive tenden
cy to the purposes of the party.
To this end let the democrats of the
House get together in caucus and
arrange a tentative plan oj legisla
tion which will serve to give form
and expression to the views and de
sires of the majority. Let the ma
jority fix the legislative policy; let
the majority settle oh the form
that is to be given to the tariff is
sue, on the shape that the silver
question is to take, and on the era
phaais that is to be given to both.
When this is done the snarling
controversy that has recently
sprang up will develop into an af
fable rivalry among reasonable and
sensible democratic newspapers to
anvance the eause of the party
Let the democrats in congress
take into the caucus whatever dif
ferences may exist among them
selves and settle them there.

financial depression of the country,
many writers have had much to
say on the subject of overproduc
tion of cotton. And in their say
ings on this subject there crops
out a difference, in the views of the
different writers.
Bat we have heard less said and
seen less written on the snbject of
underproduction of other commod
ities in the cotton belt, that are ab
solutely more essensential than
cotton. For it is possible for the
world to move on and for the peo
ple to live without cotton, bat it is
not possible for them to live with
out food products. Nor is it pos
sible for an agricultural people to
prosper, or even to live well where
and when there is a great nnder-
production of the cereals and oth
er food products that are absolute
essentials.
And this is certainly true in
much the larger portions of the
cotton belt, and equally true of our
immediate section
It is to the underproduction of
these commodities and not the
overproduction of cotton that we
would call the attention of onr
farmer readers especially.
There is no discounting the fact
that underproduction of food sap-
plies by the cotton growers of the
South has led them into the pres
ent general depression of the conn-
try. This is a fact that can be met
with no successful denial, and yet,
strange to say, onr farmers allow
the underproduction of this class
of products to continue from year
year, and then cry “hard times.”
Then the remedy is, not to wor
ry over how mach or how little cot
ton we can or shall mrke, bat to in
crease the production of food sup
plies until the quantity on hand at
all times shall fully meet the local
demand. It matters not how many
millions of bales of cotton may be
piled up upon the world’s hands,
they will not hart the cotton grow
ers if they, in producing cotton, do
not allow an underproduction of
those products absolutely needful
to feed man and beast.
And hence it is we call attention
to this underproduction, and stress
it, especially now in the very be
ginning of operations for another
crop, becaase now is the season to
arrange against it.
Explosive Medicines.
Medicines should seldom be car
ried in the pocket, unless one is
acquainted with the nature of the
constituents. Recently a serious
accident happened to a man from
carrying chlorate of potassium tab
lets in his pocket. They were pre
scribed for him by his physician,
and he generally carried them in
bis pocket for general nse. One
day while taking a seat there was
an explosion in his pocket which
resulted in serious injuries. His
clothes caught on fire, and he was
burned severely. The cause of the
accident was concnssion between
the tablets and his knife. Many
other medicines prescribed are of
an inflammable and explosive na
ture, and it is dangerous to carry
them carelessly in the pockets. If
medicines are to be carried around
they should be kept in a bottle and
carried in the pocketbook.—[Yan

GEORGIA AT THE WORLD’S FAIR.
That Georgia building, which
Governor Northen is determined
shall go np on the Word’s Fair
grounds, is attracting wide-spread
notice. The Baltimore Bun says:
“It has been determined to con-
strnct the Georgia building at the
Worid’s Fair out of Georgia pine.
Governor Northen, who is chair
man of the World’s Fair Exsca-
tive Committee, has appointed a
large committee, covering all sec
tions of the state, many of them,
large lumber dealers, whose busi
ness it will be to secure contribu
tions of lumber and free transpor-
trtion for it to Chicago after it has
been properly prepared for use in
the building, which is to be on an
extensive plan. The scheme is fa
vorably received by the press. It
is claimed that Georgia pine, fin
ished in oil as hard wood, would
be a revelation to three-fourths of
the United States, much less the
foreigners, who will visit the
World’s Fair. The lumber inter
ests of the state are very great, and
such an advertisement as the Geor
gia building would give could not
fail to prove a lasting benefit.
With a building assured, it is
thought the balance of the great
display which Georgia can make
at Chicago wnold be comparatively
an easy matter to accomplish.”
A WONDERFUL STEAM ENGINE.
It was in 1894,1 believe, that D.
A. Buck, an ingenious mechanic of
Worcester, Mass., constructed a
perfect steam engine of such lilli-
putian dimensions as to gain for
its maker the plaudits of the world.
To go into exact details, the en
gine, boiler, pumps, governors and
all were so exceedingly small as to
only accnpy a space seven-six
teenths of an inch in diameter, or
abont the area of an old-fashioned
silver three-cant piece. It was on
ly five-eighths of an inch high, yet
it contained 148 distinct parts,
nearly all of which were silver and
gold. It was held together by 52
screws, the smallest being but one
one-hnndredth of an inch in length.
The engine had all the valves,
gearing, etc.,to be found on the or
dinary horizontal engine. Three
drops of water filled the boiler!
The engine weighed but fifteen
grains when clear of the base plate.
The diameter of the cylinder was
but one-sixteenth of an ieb; length
of stroke, three fifty-seconds of an
inch.—St. Lonis Republic.

two years we have yet to learn of a
single case that has not recovered,
