When Attorney General Gar¬
land’s term expires he will locate
in New York and practice law. He
says that he is tired of politics, and
not even the pleasure of being a
member of President Cleveland s
political household during tho lat¬
ter’s second term would induce
him to hold office after March 4,
1B80. He never goes into society,
but devotes his leisure time to
study.
The many statements to the effect
that the Inter-Stats Commerce law
had cheeked the business opera¬
tions and trade of tho country are
proved to be unfounded by the re¬
port of the clearing houses for last
week. The report shows that there
is an increase in every town save
Norfolk, Portland and Galveston.
New York makes an excellent ex¬
hibit, and the total improvement
in the volume of business, as com¬
pared with the same week last
year, is 35.2 per cent, or more than
one-third. Both the manufactur
and commercial cities do well.
CLEVELAND AND ORADY.
The name of Ilenry W. Grady, of
the Atlanta Constitution, has been
prominently and frequently sug¬
gested 1 ) T the ovens and people of
this entire U 11 ion as the second
ur 1 n on the presidential ticket for
1838. Cleveland and Grady sounds
well and a stronger ticket could
not, be made. Cleveland’s admin¬
istration, cle&r and spotless, in¬
sures him a renomination at the
hands of his party. His skillful,
conservative ami patriotic acts as
chief executive of this Union, com¬
mand for him not only the respect
and support, but the love of every
loyal democrat.
Mr. Grady as vice is peculiarly
fitting. Ho who in the short space
of 30 minutes did more than any
man ever has toward healing the
festering sore of the late unpleas¬
antness and as if by some magical
power drew the hands of North
and South to-gether in friendship
and joined them with the firm
clasp of brotherly love, is deserv¬
ing of honors commensurate with
his deeds. There is not a man in
this broad land filled with a deeper
or stronger love for the Union or
whose heart pulsates with a warm¬
er br more patriotic loyalty for his
native lind than Henry W. Grady.
BOYS, HONOR YOUR CALLING.
It is a very great mistake to think
that any one calling, business or
profession in this country, is more
respectable than that of another.
There is an idea prevailing in the
minds of a great many persons,
and especially does it prevail in
the minds ot the young men, that
farming is rather a low, unpopular
mni degrading occupation; that
those who toil in the field, amid
ths dust and the burning sunshine,
have uc opportunity to rise in the
world, and that there is no future
in store for them but a life full of
hardship, struggle and poverty
This is indeed a very sad and
great mistake. Thsre is no more hon
•arable and expectable calling than
that of the independent farmer.
As an occupation or profession, it
stands exactly upon the same plane
with all other vocations and pro¬
fessions, and is of equal dignity
and respectability with them all.
It i» a moral and elevating voca¬
tion in its character, because it is
free from the influence of vice and
evil purposes. Like all occupa¬
tions, however, it is exactly what
you make of it. The mechanic,
the merchant, the teacher, the law¬
yer, and the doctor, are only what
they make themselves as such.
Neither of these vocations or pro¬
fessions will elevate a man above
his common level without his effort.
A man is a man, no matter what
his station or calling in life. Be
his vocation ever so humble or ex¬
alted, his respectability and suc¬
cess must depend entirely upon hia
deportment and exertion, The
man muat honor the calling, and
not the calling the man. No mat¬
ter what his vocation may be, he
must honor it, and make it res¬
pectable.—Covington Star.
DISCIPLINE FOR THE YOUNG,
In this day of improved meth¬
ods in the school room bodily pun¬
ishment is not often administered
to refractory pupils. Instead “a
black mark” or “detention after
school” is the mild punishment
used to deter them from violations
of rules, or to induce them to study
their lessons. It is the experience
of teachers, however, that the im¬
proved methods of punishment are
failures, and in consequence there
is a general demand for a return to
tho hickory rod or the whalebone.
Perplexed pedagogues may find
a suggestion in the plan of punish¬
ment adopted by a teacher in New
Bedford, Mass. Miss Nutter, the
principal of a primary school in
that city, tries water upon refracto¬
ry pupils. She does not drown
them, but she takes them to the
sink and washes their faces. Her
plan perhaps, would be unobjec¬
tionable were it not for the fact
that the does not use a sponge
She holds the youthful faces under
a faucet and lets the water run un¬
til her victims are almost paralyzed.
Her plan is sanctioned by the su¬
perintendent of schools, but the
parents of the pupils object to it
upon two gronnds : They say it is
inhumane, and that they prefor to
wash their children’s faces without
outside help.
If demagogues can overcome
tho objections to Miss Nutter’s plan
it may not be necessity to return
to the rod of whalebone. There
are reasons to believe, however,
that the old methods of punish¬
ment were the best. There is a
wonderful amount of persuasion in
a well seasoned hickory, whether it
is used to prevent bad behavior or
to induce study. Its use, too, is a
curb upon forwardness. The
youths of thirty years ago were
willing to let their elders control in
most matters, but now the latter
are allowed but few privileges.
The youths are in command. If
their teachers do not suit them they
strike. If parental authority press¬
es too hard upon them they leave
home and proceed to work out
their own destines. Of course
there are exceptions, for now and
then the hickory is still found in
use.
Old men who were “thrashed
into subjection,” as they express
it, unite in the opinion that the
young should be brought under
stricter discipline. The thought¬
ful observer will admit that they
are right. There ought to be a re¬
form, and it shonld begin in the
family. Severe punishment ought
not to be inflicted, but boys and
girls should be made to obey. As
the schools, nobody would care to
see the “oid field schools” reestab¬
lished, but it w ?old be well to try
a little sf their efficacious discip¬
line. Nothing has been gained by
practically allowing the young to
control themselves.—Morning News
The fight on the tariff is shaping
itself admirably, though quietly.

tiAUeadere, thdove ofoountiyaml

coming when this unjust and grind
ing oppression would be lifted from
shoulders of out common people.
