One day three-year-old Teddy j
climbed up in a parlor eliair to J
reacli something he wanted,
“Don t get up in that chair with j
your feet, Teddy, ’ said his mother. |
The little fellow looked at his j
small extremities with an air of
great surprise. “Why, mamma,”
said he, “I tan’ttake ’em off!”

Hon. John A. Campbell, ex¬
justice of the supreme court of
the United States and assistant
Confederate secretary of war, died
at his home in Baltimore Tuesday
last, aged nearly 78. His death
was the end of a long illness re¬
sulting from old age. He was
born near Washington, Wilkes
county, Ga., and graduated from
the University of the State at the
age of 15 with first honors, and
afterward went to West Point.
He was admitted to practice law
in Florida. He practiced law in
Montgomery, Ala., and there mar¬
ried Miss Annie E. Goldthwaite.
He went to Mobile, Ala., where
he litigated and settled almost
all the land titles which were com¬
plicated at that time by reason of
the obscurity of the Spanish
grants. In 1836 he was elected a
member of the state legislature.
In 1853 he was nominated to till
the vacancy in the supreme court
by President Pierce and was unan¬
imously confirmed by the Senate.
He entered upon his duties at the
age of fourty-two. Iu the spring
of 1861 he resigned his position of
court and went South and became
assistant secretary of war of the
Confederacy.

A great many people wonder
why Mr. Cleveland was so anxious
to settle down to hard work as
lawyer instead of taking a
tion after resigning the Presiden
cy. The fact is that Mr. Cleveland
is not happy when he is not busy,
He rejoices in the scratching of a
pen, the rustle of important pa¬
pers, the subdued sounds of earn¬
est conversation, the tonic influ¬
ence of the presence of far-reach¬
ing affairs, and against all this
the charms of leisure weigh with
him not at all. Mr. Cleveland is a
hustler who grows while hustling.
The only idleness that he covets
is the idleness of a fisherman, and
even when fishing he is a busy
man—fighting gnats and landing
more fish than anybody else.

It is some comfort to know that
Georgia is not at the foot of the
list of states in the matter of gu
bernatorial salaries. Michigan
pays her governor only $1,000 a
year, but there is pending an
amendment to the constitution
which increases the salary to $4
000, and its adoption is very prob
able. We hope to see Georgia’s
governor lifted above the $3,000
mark some time in this generation,
“Train up a child in the way he
should go,” mid keep a little ahead
of him in the same way during the
training to he sure he goes.
