A REMINISCENCE.
A Beautiful Tribute to tbe Late Ex
President
As apropos to the sad occasion,
the following extract from the
eloquent speech delivered by Mr.
Henry It. Goetchius at the Me¬
morial celebration in Columbus
on April 26, 1885, is reproduced:
A few weeks ago when the lib¬
erty bell, so generously loaned by
the citizens of Philadelphia to
the New Orleans Exposition, was
en ronte for the Cresent City, the
car on which the bell was mounted
stopped at Biloxi, a station near
Beauvoir, the home of the ex-Presi
dent of the Southern Confederacy.
While at this station a great many
people gathered to look upon the
historic relic. Among the num¬
ber was a grand child of Mr.
Davis, a little girl of some eight
or ten summers. The child, gaz¬
ing upon the bell, covered with
flowers and hanging in its frame,
clambered upon the railway car
and throwing her tiny arms
around the sides of the monster
bell, exclaimed, “God bless the
old bell V* Could the grandfather
of this child have been a rebel
and a traitor to his country? The
grand old man, lingering to-day
in his home near the blue waters
of the gulf, suffering from wounds
received when fighting for his
country on Mexican plains, de¬
nied the rights of a citizen, re¬
fused the liberty of suffrage, a
privilege extended to the alien by
this country ere he can read its
language, and to the African
freedman before lie can read or
understand its laws—to-day a pa¬
roled prisoner of war, though
twenty years have elapsed since
the Southern banners were furled
forever, maligned by the press of
the North, hated by all of its peo¬
ple._be denounced as a rebel and
a traitor, and yet teaching to Ins
childrens' children reverence and
love for the old bell which rang
out the freedom of America more
than a century ago! Shame upon
the man who would lay this to his
charge. No truer patriot ever liv¬
ed than he. Dike Meltiades of
the Greeks and the Cincinnati of
the Romans, lie combines in liis
character all the qualities of the
soldier and the statesman. Ai ouiul
him cluster the love and affection
of the people who have shared
his aspirations, his sorrows and
his disappointments, and as the
em bodiment of that principle, for
which our Southern land w ent
forth to battle, he is the type and
leader of all the brave and true
men who followed liis cause. He
has the respect, the admiration
and the sympathy of the good
and great of all nations, and pos¬
terity will award to him the hon
ors whicli of right are his. d\ hen
it shall no longer be popular to
have instigated and aided in the
prosecution of the war against
the Southern States; when the
sober, second thought of the peo¬
ple shall have taken an account
of tho wasted treasure, of sacri¬
ficed lives and of a land saddened
by the wail of the widow and the
orphan, and last but not least, the
subversion of those sound princi¬
ples of good government for
which the Colonies fought the
war of Revolution and to perpet¬
uate which the Uniou was formed
then will be accorded to Jefferson
Davis, and to every man who fol¬
lowed the Confederate fiag, the
honor due to them as patriots and
lovers of their country.
BLAIE SAYS IT’S ALL EIGHT.
Mr. S. O. Blair, Chicago, with¬ says:
“We could not keep house

troubles, We especially the for Cough our child. Cure

rations.
Col. E. C. Macheu still assures
the Griffin people that all he asks
is a clear right of way into the
to give them a branch of his
and Macon, railroad.
“HE LEFT IT ALL.”
A gentleman who was present,
relates the following striking in¬
cident which occurred at a meet¬
ing of “railroad kings,” in New
York. While these rich men were
waiting for the arrival of one of
the directors, one of them said:
“Have you head that-
is dead?”
“Why, no; you surprise me. I
saw him on the streets last week
apparently in the enjoyment of
perfect health; when did he die?”
“He died day before yesterday.”
A moment of silence ensued,
and one of the gentlemen said to
the first speaker:
“He was very rich, was he not?”
“O, yes, very.”
“How much did he leave?”
“He left it all,” emphasizing
all with a solemn tone.
Yes, when men die, however
rich they may be, they leave it all.
A. T. Stewart, the great mer¬
chant, made millions, but left it
all.
Alexander the Great, with a
plundering army, had gathered
the gold„of many conquered na¬
tions, and when lie died it is said
lie was buried with liis empty
hands exposed to show how, after
all of his plundering, he carried
nothing with him as he took his
departure into another world.
How true the saying of Paul:
“We brought nothing into the
world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out." And yet how
closely men cleave to their money
while living. They hold it with
such a grip that one would think
that they had an eternity to spend
it in. As man’s wealth must be
parted with at last, why not put
it now where it will draw eternal
interest? There is a good lesson
in the quaint old epitaph:
“What I kept I had;
What I left I lost;
What I gave I have.”
Paul’s exhortation comes in
point here: “Charge them that
are rich in this world, that they
be not high-minded, nor trust in
uncertain riches, hut tho living
God, who giveth us richly all
things to enjoy. That they do
good, that they be rich in good
works, ready to distribute, willing
to communicate; laying up in
store for themselves a good foun¬
dation against the time to come,
that they may lay hold on eternal
life.’’ Yes, wealthy men have a
splendid opportunity in this age
to endow colleges, to support mis¬
sionaries, to spread the glorious
Gospel over the world. There is
surplus money enough in this
country to send fifty thousand
missionaries to the heathen world,
if we could get the owners to give
it.—Raleigh Advocate.
A VEEY LaTgFpEEOENTAGE
Of the American people are troub¬
led with and a most disagreeable annoying, complaint troub¬
lesome
called “Catarrh.” It is not nec¬
essary to be so troubled. It is
demontrated beyond question that

“Pray excuse me” were the last
and dying words of Jefferson Da¬
vis. The last relation between the
husband and the wife was an
ideal one. In joy and sorrow, in
hopefulness and despair, they
were all in all to each other, and
in his last moment, with that po¬
liteness which always character¬
ized the intercourse of the two,.
he murmured feebly, “Pray ex¬
cuse me.”
The trouble about the average
critic of Jefferson Davis in the
Northern press is that he cannot
rise to tho comprehension of such
a grand character. Therefore,
the average critic of the Northern
press must charitably be excu¬
sed.
It lias been discovered that six
pistols are sold in the North to
one in the South. We suppose
the republican press will take this
as conclusive evidence that the
South is already well supplied.
But what do Northern people
want with pistols, anyhow? If
their papers are to be believed
thej T would almost rather die than
shoot anybody.
GOOD MANNERS.
There is a quiet charm iu well
mannered children that everybody
recognizes. “Such well-behaved
children,” everybody says. They
have been taught to be respectful,
polite, courteous. When you
come across an ill-mannered
group, who make themselves gen¬
erally disagreeable, you go away
muttering, “What a lot of young
savages! What foolish people
their parents are to permit such
rowdyism! These rude young fel¬
lows who can! answer a question
politely are sure to turn out ill,
unless they mend their way.”
Yes, be sure of it, they get their
tone under the roof-tree, and it is
a low tone and a rude tone and an
insolent tone. It maintains its
harshness after they go out into
the world. Manners and morals
are closely allied. If home and
school education have failed to
mould and guide them, then even
though, as the result of six years’
drillinsr, the much-lauded three
R's are at their tongues’ ends and
finger tips, the result of all this
minute training for life purposes
is almost nil. It is culpable folly
to send them adrift with boorish
manners. By unwearied training
and tact, give them the right tone.

As to the proposed consolida
dation with the Knights of Labor,
L. F. Livingston, president of the
Georgia state organization, said
while in St. Louis last week: “We
propose to form an offensive and
defensive alliance with the
Knights of Labor, and to co-op¬
erate with them as long as it is
mutually advantageous. If our
paths lead us along the same road
it adds to the strength of both or¬
ders to work together; when our
ways diverge we can part in
friendship to meet further along
on some other issue. I am not
one of the principal advocates of
co-operation with the knights,
but I can see the advantage to be
derived from such a step.”

Another convict has been ap¬
pointed to office by President
Harrison. This time it is the
notorious professional negro, Bob
Smalls, who has been made col¬
lector of the port at Beaufort, S.
C. When Smalls was a state sena¬
tor in South Carolina during re¬
construction he sold his vote for
$5,000 to a crowd which engineer¬
ed a steal on a printing contract
that cost the state a quarter of a
million. Smalls was indicted,
tried, convicted and sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary.
He was saved from penal servi¬
tude only by the pardon of a car
pet-bag governor.
CONVINCING PROOF.
In many instances it has proven
that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm), made by Blood Balm Co.
Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood pois¬
on in its worse phases, even when
all other treatment fails.
A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “I had 24 running ulcers
on one leg and 6 on the other, and
felt greatly swallowed prostrated. barrel I believe of
medicine, I actually in vain efforts a to
cure
the disease. With little hope I
finally acted on the nrgent advice
of a friend, and got a bottle of B.
B. B. I despondency experienced a change,
and my was some¬
what dispelled. I sixteen kept using bottles, it
until I had taken

and all other horrors of blood pois¬
on have disappeared, and at last I

the disease began eating my skull
bones. My bones ached; my kid¬
neys were deranged, I lost flesh
anti strength, and life became a
burden. All said I must surely
die, but neverfheless, when I had
used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was
pronounced well. Hundreds of
scars can noAV be seen on me. i
have now been well over twelve
months.”
When President Davis was
brought to Macon in 1865 as a
prisoner of war he occupied
what is now room No. 9 of the
Hotel Lanier. Manager I. D.
Crawford has purchassed from the
hotel company tbe set of furniture
used by Mr. Davis on that mem¬
orable occasion, and now has the
furniture in his own bed chamber.
It is of heavy mahogony. This
is the only part of the entire fur¬
niture then in use in the old
Lanier House that has been sa¬
ved to this day. Manager Craw¬
ford lias had a photograph taken
as the Jeff Davis furniture.
