Mr. S. one of the editors of the Un
ion & Recorder was absent from
Augusta except the first day of its
session, and of course, could not
make such remarks as he would glad
ly have made upon its proceedings
which were greatly interesting, com
ing from an Association of able and
learned devotees to the noble and di
vine art of healing the infirmities of
humanity not only in the varieties of
disease, but also in applying useful
and healing medicaments for the
mind. We have often thought the
practice of medicine and surgery is
a laborious one and in many cases a
painful profession, bringing to view,
as it does, many cases of mental woe,
and bodily anguish. But the good
doctor enjoys the happiness of dispen
sing health and relieving pain, which
atones for many annoymnees in his
arduous and painful profession. Such
men ought to be, and are venerated
for their perpetual and ardent labors
Jfor f the good of others. The public
'generally, do not appreciate their la-
‘bors as, they should, but the kind-
he*rtedap£ devoted physician has a
greater* regard than money can be
stow, in the exquisite gratification
which he enjoys in ’dispensing health
and allaying the pains of her afflicted
patients. Augusta did credit to her

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Democratic Sentiment.
Hon. Cliiiord Anderson in a letter
to Hon. Patrick Walsh under date of
the 19th of April, expresses the opin
ion that President Cleveland’s Civil
Service Policy is jthe great mistake of
his Administration.'’’
He adds: £«
“Moreover, it is natural that Demo
crats should expect place and position
under a Democratic Administration.
If they are denied, that Republicans
may continue to enjoy the honor and
emoluments of office, they cannot
readily understand it and disappoint
ment and dissatisfaction are inevita
ble. They toiled for party .triumph
at the polls, that they might' share
with their candidate for the Presiden
cy tlie fruits of success. In propor
tion as they are refused a personal
participation in the benefits of the
victory, their party ties are weakned
and their zeal for party triumphs is
"hstrtdat the same time lie expresses
the opinion that Mr. Cleveland is a
true patriot and a sound Democrat
and a man of purity of purpose and
uprightness of character. Mr. Ander
son thinks Mr. Cleveland is beginning
to see his mistake and entertains the
hope that the time is not distant
when the Democrats have less cause
to complain of his civil service x>olicy.
A SENSATION.
A CRAZY WOMAN CAUSES MUCH EX
CITEMENT.
On the afternoon Georgia train a
man came to the city with his wife,
who had entirely lost her mind. They
have been residing in Arkansas for
sometime past, and were on their way
to lier home in Columbia, S. C. As
the man was engaged in attending to
his baggage and effects the woman
strolled away, and when he came to
look for her found she had disappear
ed. With the assistance of the police
man on the beat’a search was immedi
ately made for her. After much in
quiry it was learned that she had gone
down Telfair street, where she was
discovered under a house. It seems
that she strayed from the depot to
this house and crawled under through
a small opening. The house is only
built about a foot above the ground
where she entered, and farther under
the. distance between the flpor and
ground is less. She crawled as far as
she could force herself, and was
wedged in such a position that she
could move neither way. A party of
men procured spades and dug the
earth away until one could crawl to
where she was, when a man caught
her by the hands and the ontsiders,
catching his feet, withdrew her from
her uncomfortable position. They left
on the afternoon train for Columbia.—

Mr. Theodore Markwalter's
Marble Works.—Mr. Markwalter,
the marble dealer on Lower Broad, has
among his specimens some very hand
some tombstones and monuments cut
out of Georgia marble taken from the
Pickens county quarries, which are
real handsome. Mr. Markwalter is
supplied with some of the finest North
ern and Italian marble to be seen any
where, and his orders for tombstone
and cemetery decorations come in
daily from many points in Georgia
and South Carolina. He has' some of
the best professional skill to be had
at his yards, and it is a real treat to
inspect their work.—Evening News.
Elberton and Augusta.—The
people of Elberton are very anxious
to have a railroad connection with Au
gusta. They have had a meeting on
the subject and desired the Augusta
and Chattanooga to pass bv Elberton.
At the meeting all agreed that they
must ami would have an outlet to Au
gusta. It is very natural that they
should renew the old time associations
which were so pleasing to the jieople
of both places.
Washington, April 26, 1886.
A Democratic Senator who is post
ed as to the condition of business in
Congress, and the probable course of
events in that body, said yesterday;
“Everything seems to be settling
down to a long session of Congress.
It is true that Members of the House
talk about getting away the latter
part of Jun§. But this is simply im
possible. In the first place the legis
lation that is absolutely necessary—
I mean the appropriation bills—is not
in a forward State. Besides, there
will be considerable discussion on.
some of tlie appropriation bills in the
House, and you may rest assured that
the Senate will take its time to consid
er the important appropriation bills
and not hurry itself as it used to do,
when the Republican majority there
hastily considered them, following
the lead of the Senate Appropriation
Committee in increasing the expendi
tures, and being upheld in this by a
friendly administration.”
“When do you think Congress will
adjourn?'’ I asked a Senator. “We
shall be lucky,” said he, “if we get
away by the middle of August.”
He was in favor of Congress meet
ing earlier in the fall, say as early as
November for the long session, and by
the middle of October for the short
term. He also thought that the life of
Congress should begin and end in A-
pril, (instead of March. This would
give plenty' of time to consider legisla
tion, and would give the best season
of the year in this climate.
And it is quite probable the date of
the President’s inauguration will be
changed from the fourth of March to
the thirtieth of April. The amend
ment recently introduced in the Sen
ate to that effect seems to be popular.
It would be difficult to find any ob
jections to the change, and there are
many reasons why it is desirable.
Since our first President was inaugu
rated on the 30th of April, historically
the day is the proper one.
During the week, the room in which J.
Gould, Grand Master workman Pow-
derly and other distinguished witness
es were being examined with regard to
the great Strike, was the chief point of
interest on Capitol Hill, So great was
the interest and curiosity of the pub
lic in this investigation, that it finally
became necessary because of the
surging crowd, to exclude all except
the witnesses, members of Congress,
Sevtru v
the committee which conducted this
investigation are all lawyers by pro
fession, a class of men who are rigidly
excommunicated by the Knights of
Labor. All men who honestly labor
are eligible for admission to tlie
Knights of Labor except lawyers and
bankers.
It has been said that these commit
teemen are all millionaires too, but
they are not. Burnes, of Missouri, is
admitted to be the wealthiest man
among them. Curtain, the chairman,
has not the reputation of a wealthy
man, although he says himself that
he owns some stock in a railroad that
pays. Crain is clever, but he is not a
capitalist and will probably never be,
because he spends his money too free
ly. Outliwaite, of Chio, started life
as a school teacher. Stewart, of V er-
mont, lias been Governor of his State,
which is taken as an assurance of his
poverty. Buchanan, of New Jersey, is
a railroad lawyer, but he has general
ly been against the railroad. Parker,
of New York, is the only member of
the committee who evinced a disposi
tion to give Mr. Gould facilities tor
putting on record whatever Mr. Gould
desired.

Major Barnes.
The Philadelphia Record says that
Congressman Barnes “weighs 300
pounds, and is 5 feet 5 inches each
Avav. He is very proud and very fond
of his flesh. He says he would not
lose a pound of it for $1,000.
he was 21 years of age he weighed but
100 pounds, and his friends feared lie
Avould bloAV away in the next high
wind. But by laughing continually
he has grown continually fatter,- until
at 53 he rivals Major Ben Perley
Poore. Judge Barnes is a jolly old
soul. He is an excellent lawyer and a
natural diplomat, and Avithal a brill
iant wit. This is his first winter in
Washington, but everybody knows
him and likes him already.”
We kneAV that Major Barnes Avould
be a very valuable member of Con
gress and would likewise be popular
with the members of congress and
citizens generally. He is perhaps
some tiling over 5 feet 5 inches in
height, but the measure across is of
course exaggerated.
Bought a Farm.
John M. McDowell, one of the suc
cessful holders of ticket No. 46,799 in
November drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery, which drew $75,000, has
invested a portion of his proceeds in a
tract of land near Olivet and adjoin
ing his farm. He purchased 54 acres,
more or less, being the Jack Kenton
farm, of Albert Wheeler, for which ne
paid $4d per acre. Since he made_
successful draw in Louisiana, JpliU
has been “sha\'ing notes” at a hve-v
rate, and has cleared within the P aSi
few months nearly $1,000. Just stop
for a moment and estimate the prom
he has made on that 50c. investment in
Louisiana Lottery last fall!—Mount
Olivet (Ky.) Tribune, March 11.
STONEWALL JACKSON.
HOW THE CONFEDERATE HERO'S
LIFE WENT OUT.
From the Detroit Free Press: About
daylight upon the Sunday of his
death, Mrs. Jackson informed him
that his recovery was very doubtful
and that it was better that he should
be prepared for the worst. He avos
silent for a moment and then said:
“It will be infinite gain to be traus
lated to Heaven,” He advised his
wife, in the event of his death, to re
turn to her father’s house, and added:
“You have a kind and good father,
but there is no one so kind and good
as your Hea\’enly Father.”
He still expressed a hope that lie
would recoA'er, but requested his wife,
incase he should die, to have him
buried in Lexington, in the Valley ot
Virginia. His exhaustion increased
so rapidly that at 11 o’clock Mrs. Jack-
son knelt by his bed and told him
that before the sun went down he
Avould be with his Saviour.
He replied: “O, no! You are fright
ened, my child. Death is not so near.
I may yet get Avell.”
She fell upon the bed Aveeping bit
terly, and again told him, amid her
tears and sobs, that the physicians
declared that there avos no longer any
hope of his recoA r ery. After a mo
ment's pause he asked her to call tin
family physician.
“Doctor,” he said, as the physician
entered the room, “Anna informs me
that you have told her 1 am to die to
day. Is it so?”
When he was answered in the
affimath'e, he turned his sunken eyes
toward the (ceiling and gazed for a
moment or two as if in intense thcfught,
then looked at the friends about him
and said softly:
“Very good, very good; it is alj
right.”
Then turning . to his heart-broken
wife he tried to comfort her. He told
her that there was much he desired
to tell her but that he was too Aveak
for the undertaking.
Col. Pendleton, came into the room
about 1 o’clock. General Jackson
asked him:
“Who is preaching at the head
quarters to-day?
When told in reply that the whole
army was praying for him, he replied:
“Thank God! they are v r ery kind.”
Then he added: “It is the Lord’s day;
my wish is fulfilled, 1 haA'e always
desired to die on Sunday.”
Slowly his mind began to fail and
Avander, and he frequently talked in
and then the scene was changed. He
was at the mess table in conversation
with members of bis staff; now with
his wife and child; now at prayers
Avith his military family. Occasional
intervals of his mind would appear,
andduring one of them the physician
offered the dying man some; brandy
and water, buthe declined it saying:
“It will only delay’ my departure
and do no good; 1 want to preserve
my mind to the last, if possible.
A feAV moments before the end ar*-
rived, the dying warrior cried out in
his delirium:
“Order A. P. Hill to prepare for ac
tion!” “Pass the infantry to the
front rapidly.” “Tell Maj. Hawks ’
then his voice was silent and tlie sen
tence remained unfinished.
An instant later a smile of ineffable
SAveetness and .purity spread itself
ov'er his calm, pale face, and then
looking upward and slightly’ raising
his hands, he said quietly and with nn
expression of relief:
“Let uscross'over tlie river and rest
under the shade of the trees."
And then without sign of struggle
or of pain his spirit passed y way. Was
death ever so sAveet and peaceful!
Was ever rest so anticipated or
Hea\ r en so revealed?
Interesting Experiences.
Hiram Cameron, Furniture Dealer
of Columbus, Ga., tells his experience,
thus: “For three years have tried
every remedA' on the market for Stom
ach and Kidney Disorders, but got
no relief, until I used Electric Bitters.
Took fi\'e bottles and am now cured,
and think Electric Bitters the Best
Blood Purifier in the world.” Major
A. B. Reid, of West Liberty, Ky.,
used Electric Bitters for an old stand
ing Kidney affection and say's: “Noth
ing has ever done me so much good
as Electric Bitters.”
Sold at fifty cents a bottle by C. L.
Case.
Judge Pardee, in sentencing the
striking Knights of Labor Avho had
committed excesses, declared that the
present strike is simply for recogni
tion of the Knights of Labor, and not
for redress of grievances, lie strongly'
denounced the Knights of Labor, and
said that the next sentence won.a be
more severe than those he had jusn
pronounced.
The laws must be enforced. No one
can object to the Knights of Lajoi
forgiving up their positions but a\ hen
they' endeaA'or bv force to prevent
others from Avorking and thus ob
struct the business the country
thev render themselves amenable to
thViaAv and must be prevented by
laAA r from engaging in such lav. .w -
proceedings.

A' curious result transpired. Every
