iATURDAY - - AUG 14, 1886.
A Western poet begins a verse
with “here let me lie,” just as if any¬
body could stop him while his license
holds good.
The New York Sun has discovered
that President Cleveland is a big
man, but that he has uncommonly
small and elegant feet. “All's well
that ends well.” He has a good six
ed and very level head.
A man in Dallas, Tex., shot at a
stray feline that was caterwauling
under his house. The ball glnnced
from the cat, which was not serious
•y injured, passed up through the
iood and killed a friend of the shoot
ir,who was visiting him.
The people of Charlestown, Indi
<na, don't stand any nonsense from
iquor dealers. Under the pressure
rought by a Law and Order club
he saloons at Charlestown were clos¬
'd some months ago. Friday Hatnil
on Hanger opened a saloon, and dis
dayed a modest sign over his door,
ike this:” The Road to Hell!”
.’bis created great excitement, and
>11 day groups of angry citizens
Hood on the street corners discussing
he situation, and threatened trouble
f the dj v * was not closed. Friday
night Hanger was the recipient of
a letter written with red ink. and
•igned “Vigilance Committee,” or
lering him to immediately discon¬
tinue the sale of liquor and forever
remain away from Charlestown.
Ha took the advice of the vigilants
and haa disappeared.
Boys who want to run away from
home and be tramps should take
warning at the experience of Frank
Alien, of Lamar, Missouri. Frank
was fourteen year old, had a rich
father, a good home, some nice sis¬
ters and a kind stepmother. But
home was too tame for Frank and
a year ago he ran away with a tramp
named George Hubbard, who told
him he could make lots of money in
the south. Frank came to the sun
ny south, lived the life of a tramp,
picked cotton nt times, and was a
very accomplished kept sort of a vaga¬
bond. Hubbard the finances
in hand, nnd is still keeping them.
When lie got tired of the hoy, he let
him go. Later Frank was robbed by
auother “friend” and soon was taken
sick at Memphis. He grew so had
off that he expected to die. Then
he had some one a rite to his father.
The father went at once to Mem¬
phis and took the re|>entant prodi
gal home.
The New York Sun says: “It is
Bow generally admitted by Republi
cans that Air. Tilden was elected
President. Ten years have produced
a striking change in the feeliDg of
all but the bitterest and most wrong
headed of his opponents. The sense
of justice of the American people
was not appealed to in vain, and Mr.
Tilden had the satisfaction in the
last years of his life of knowing that
the party which committed and pio
fited by the crime, had ceased for the
most part to deny or palliate eagerly it.
Those who remember how
and generally it was defended by the
Republicans nine years age will un¬
derstand the change. To Air. Til
den this changed attitude of the Re¬
publicans might seem like a tardy
apology for a crime beyond apology
and forgiveness. But no more strik¬
ing than the respect and honor which
MrTilden’s political opponents services, show is
for his character and his
the deep and miserable general contempt has fallen into
which the man
who got by fraud the office to which
Mr. Tilden was elected. For Hayes,
even in {ris own party, there is no
respect. The outcast of politics, he
has no friends in any, and is regard¬
ed by all with the contempt which
bis career and his qualities doserve.”
An exchange gives the following
good advice to seekers of true cul¬
ture: “Culture, dear boy, has come
to be a cant term, and no end of
nonsense and platitude has been
written and talked about it since the
day when Emerson made it the theme
of Boston discussion. What you
mean is cultivation. You want to
know what is necessary to make you
a cultivated man. Everything with¬
in the range of knowledge, of thought
and of taste is necessary. All good
books will help you to the end, and
some which are not good books may
assist yon in the way of comparison.
Association with cultivated people
and conversation with them are in¬
dispensable aids. The taste to dis¬
criminate the good from the bad in
all art is essential. Social refine¬
ment is requisite.
But nobody can know it all You
can only learn a very little, but
what you learn you learn thorough¬
ly. Be careful to read the books of
the masters of the literary art, so
that you will be insensibly affected
by their style until you come at last
to distinguish and prefer and require
the superior sort. If you go to hear
music, see to it that it is the music
of the fereat artists, aud take pains
to look at good pictures, for gradual¬
ly you will find yourself learning to
**'joy them alone. And so in all
ninge eeek the best and reject the
poor Md commonplace.”
PUT IT TOGETHER.
Rev. T. DeWitt Talmagc says:
“Gather up the money that the
working classes have spent for rum
during the last thirty years, and I
will build for every workingman a
bouse and lay out for him a garden,
and clothe his sons in broadcloth
and dress his daughters in silks, and
stand at his front door a span of
prancing sorrels or bays, and secure
him a 1 i f e policy of
life insurance so that the present
home may be well maintained after
he is dead. The most persistent,
most overpowering enemy to the
working classes is intoxicating li
quor. It’s the anarchist of the een
turies, it has boycotted and is now
boycotting the body and mind and
soul of Amerienn labor. It is to it
a worse foe than monopoly and
worse than associated capital. It
annually swindles industry out of
a large per centage of its earnings.
It holds out its blasting solicita¬
tions to the mechanic or operative on
bis way to work, and at the noon
spell and on his way home at even¬
tide, or Saturday, when the wnges
are paid, it snatches a large part of
the money that might come to the
family and sacrifices it lor whisky.”
She had a lovely foot, and her vis¬
itors were admiring it. They were
ladies, of course. A man who is not
a shoemaker dare not mention such
a thing unless they are alone in a dim
corner of the drawingroom where no¬
body can everhear.
“What a beautiful foot you have,
dear!”
“Yes. Pa says when made.” we go Europe
he’ll have a bust of it
An exchange says: “Weeds grow
up all over the sidewalk. A hen set¬
ting in the midst of the weeds.
That’s a dry town.” Alcn lying
around loose; midnight brawls; pis¬
tol shooting; swelled heads; black
eyes; wife beating;children begging
for bread. That’s a wet town.
The early origin of the habit of
forming good resolutions is shown in
the fact that every time Eve changed
her dress she turned over a new
leaf.
President Cleveland has signed
the oleomargarine hill that passed
by congress, This bill places a rev¬
enue tax on oleomargarine and other
substitutes for butter, and requires
all such to be so labeled.
Air. Ferdinand l’hinizy,of Athens,
Ga., is worth near two million dol¬
lars. His income is $19,000 a month.
He is as plain as an old shoe.
In White county Monday Deputy
Collector J. R. Ware seized a still,
cap and worm, and 1,200 gallons of
beer and mash, supposed to be the
property of the Aloore hoys. Special
Revenue Agent Colquitt seized a still,
cap nnd worm, and a quantity of
mash, three milles from Big SLanty,
supposed to belong to Ben Slell.
No arrests were made in either
case.
Bobby' enme into the house sob
bing and told his mother that Tom¬
my White had kicked him. “Well,
Tommy White is a very bad boy,”
said Bobby’s mother, giving him a
large him piece of cake. you?” “You didn t
kick back, did “No,” re¬
plied Bobby, between bites, “I kick¬
ed him first.”
An Indiana dispatch notices that
the monument fund for Mr. Hen¬
dricks does not grow: “The fund
thus far collected has not reached
$15,000. There is no probability of
the fuud reaching the $100,000 at
first contemplated from popular sub¬
scriptions. The fund is going
through the same experience that at
tended the Morton monument fund
The people are not greatly given to
building monuments to dead men,
however great they may be supposed
to be.”
A little boy was asked recently
if he knew where the wicked finally
went to. He answered, “They prac¬
tice law here awhile and then go to
the legislature." It was a painful
operation for that boy to sit down
for a few days.
The Congressional Record for the
session just closed contains nearly
ten stock thousand cyclone. pages—enough wind
to a
It is found at Washington that
the most inefficient clerks have
the most political influence. Yes,
and the further and mortifying fact
has been established that these
clerks are republicans, and are kept
in office by democratic congressmen.
Tramps in some prrts of Colorado
are flogged and ordered to “skip out.”
The tramps never speak in high
terms ofColorado hospitality. They
will probably boycott the state.
Glasscock county has bolted the
nomination of John S. Davidson, for
State Senator. The other counties
want rotation while Richmond is
dis[>osed to ask the lion’s share.
Willis Hudson, for the murder
of Marion MiUirons in August, 1885,
in Clay county this state, was hanged
at Fort Gaines last Friday. His
half sister, Isabella Roney, is now
serving a life sentence in the peni¬
tentiary for complicity in the same
crime.
A crank is said to be a man who
continually thinks, talks and writes
upon the only subject be does not
understand.
