The statement is made that all the

The two Taylor, brothers, one run

ticket occupied the same room at
Chattanooga. Two fine fiddles were
brought as each played well on that

amusement playing together to a
crowd of Democrats and Republicans.
They applauded them vociferously
and the occasion was one of much
amusement. It may be centuries be

Parnell’s Land Bill.—We see it
stated in the foreign neAVS, that Mr.
Parnell’s bill Avould reduce the rents
by one-half. We have neA*er seen the
bill, but from statements of the high
price of rents, a reduction of one-half
Avould not be an unjust measure. It
is stated in some of the papers that
Mr. Gladstone will not support it, and
in others, that he will give it his aid.
It is stated that the Radieal party,
will faA r or the bill.

Patents.—The following Georgia
patents have been issded: Rudolph O.
Gercke, of Augusta, Ga., car starter;
David F. Tabe, of Atlanta, *Ga., as-
signer to himself and F. W. Memmler,
of Marietta, Ga., umbrella drip-cup;
William W. Tliaxton, of Jackson, Ga.,
water elevator. Dr. Gercke explain
ed to the writer the nature of his car
starter. It is one of the most useful
discoveries of the age. His genius
took a happy and humane turn. His
Car Starter” will do more to relieve
animal suffering than all the societies
in the world to prevent cruelty to
animals could accomplish in a century.
Besides its feature of humanity, it
will add years ot service to the horses
used in drawing the cars. Constant
stoppages and dead pulls in starting,
is not only painful to the horse but
soon breaks him down. We doubt
not this discovary of Dr. Gercke will
meet with favor by the owners of
street cars in all sections, and Ave hope
he will be amply rewarded for his
skill in placing before the country a
work of such widespread utility.
Washington, Sept, 14, 1886.
Editor Union-Recorder:
When there is no Congress, no Ad
ministration, no society, in short no
body in Washington, it may not be
out of place for your correspondent to
write about the Departments with
their teeming clerical life,—the great
offices in which the accounts of Uncle
Sam are kept, and-where the business
of the Avealthiest and most progressive
people on the globe isunanaged. The
business of the administration has
groAvn with the groAvth and prosperi
ty of the nation and requires con
stant expansion and adjustment as
the nation grows in thews and bulk.
It cannot be otherwise than that
there must be some Avaste in our Na
tional housekeeping. Economy is
not an American virtue. The lavish
ness of nature begets prodigality in the
individual and in the home. Our
government is very like the units
which compose it. I am afraid Ave
"will ha\ r e to be a much older and sad
der people before we,, individually or
nationally, practice the “waste not
want not” frugality and economy of
Germany and France. Our country
is young and Avastes its substance in
riotous living, often mistaking the
prodigality of our natural resources
for thrift and prosperity. One need
not incur the reproach of pessimism
in predicting that we may have to
eat husks and humble ourselves in
sackcloth and ashes before we are
able to solve some of the great politico-
economic questions Avhich uoav con
front us.
Our civil service list is the largest
and most expensive in the world. It
cannot now contain less than 125,000
persons, and it is continually growing.
The employes of our Government are
paid much more than the employes
of any other Government.. I do not
hesitate to. say that as a rule they are
paid more than their services are
worth. Added to this is the fact that
jn spite of their premium wages it has
never yet been found possible to
make them Avork. Nearly all the
Govenrment offices are behind with
their Avork, and this, is especially so
with the U. S. Patent Office, the best
paid of them all, and the' one which
not only does not cost the tax payer a
cent, but which actually pays a
large*yearly surplus into the National
Treasury.
The present Administration has
made a determined effort to reform the
idleness, the absenteeism, and the
general good-for-nothingness of the
civil serA T ice, but it has a Herculean task
before it, and it must be admitted
that it had no other equipment in the
campaign of reform than good inten
tions. Mr. CleA'eland and his Cabinet
were totally unacquainted with the
Departments, bureaus, and divisions
of almost Gordian-knot complexity,
over Avhich they were called to preside.
Their Democratic chiefs of Divisions
and Bureaus were necessarily as ignor
ant as themselves. They found the
offices filled with men and Avouien
placed there by political influence as a
reward for the political work they
had done or Avere expected to do. In
these offices idleness, gossip, absen
teeism, had long been the rule. The
clerks Avere amenable only to the in
fluential politicians Avho appointed
them, and it was common with them
to defy their official chiefs and to ac
tual] yliave them discharged. Many
of the chiefs lived in fear of pretty
female clerks in their divisions who
Avere backed by influential senators, j
These clerks, -conscious of their |
strength, did as they pleased, to the
humiliation of the obsequious chiefs,
and the demoralization of the entire
service. All this, I have said, has
.been greatly changed. The clerks
now arri\ r e at the departments at 9
o'clock instead of half past nine or
ten. They remain at their desks un
til the regular time for departure.
Formerly it lia^f been the habit of
many to shirk work for the slightest
illness, or to affect illness and play
truant. Noav every day’s illness is
charged up and is subtracted from the
thirty days vacation which is the an
nual allowance with pay of Go\ r ern-
ment employes. These and other re
forms have made a noticeable im
provement on both the quantity and
quality of the Avork performed, but
much remains te be done before the
work in the Government offices can
be carried on with the economy and
dispatch of well conducted business
establishments. Many of the chiefs
of bureau and division appointed by
the present administration are capa
ble, energetic, and thoroughly deter
mined to reform the deep abuses that
appear everyAvhere in the immense
civil establishment of the United
States. These abuses cannot be
swept awav by a magician s wand.
They must "be removed by patient de
voted work.
The following lines were found
many years ago on a scrap of a news

St. John, the Aged.
I’m growing very old. This weary head
That hath bo often leaned on Jesus’ breast,
In days long past that seem almost a dream,
Is bent and hoary with its weight of years:
Tli&se limbs that followed him—my Master oft
From Galilee to Jndah; yea, that stood
Beneath the Cross and trembled with his
groans—
Refuse to bear me even through the streets
To preach unto my children. E’en my lips
Refuse to form the words my heart sends forth.
My ears are dull; they scarcely hear the sobs
Of my dear children gathered’ronnd my couch;
My eyes so dim they cannot see the tears.
God lays His hand upon me—yea. His hand,
And not-His rod—the gentle hand jhat I
Felt, those three years, so often pressed in
mine,
In friendship such as passeth woman's love.
I'm old, so old! I cannot recollect
The faces of my friends, and I forget
The words and deeds that make up daily life;
But that dear face, and every word he spoke,
Grow more distinct, as others fade away, •
So that I live with Him and holy dead
More than with living.
Some seventy years ago
I was a fisher by the sacred sea.
It was at sunset. How the tranquil tide
Bathed dreamily the pebbles! How the light
Crept upon the distant hills, and in its wake
Soft purple shadows wrapped the dewy fields!
And then He came and called me. Then I gazed
For the first time on that sweet lace. Those
eyes
From out of which, as from a window, shone
Divinity, looked on my inmost soul,
And lighted it forever. Tiien His words
Broke on the silence of my heart and made
The whole world musical. Incarnate love
Took hold of me and claimed me for his own;
I followed in the twilight, holding fast
Ilis mantle.
0! what holy walks we had
Through harvest fields and desolate, dreary
Vi’&StCS •
And" oftentimes He leaned upon my arm,
Wearied and wayworn. 1 was young and
strong,
And so upbore nim. Lord! now I am weak,
And old, and feeble. Let me rest on thee!
So, put thine arm around me. Closer still!
IIow strong thou art! The twilight draws
apace;
Come let us leave these noisy streets and take
The path to Bethany, for Mary’s smile-
Awaits us at the gate, and Martha’s hands
Have long prepared the cheerful evening
meal;
Come James, the Master waits, and Peter, see
Has gone some steps before,
AYhat say you, friends?
That this is Ephesus, and Christ has gone
Back to His kingdom? Ay, ’tis so, ’tis so.
l know it all; and yet, just now, I seemed.
To stand once more upon my native hills
And touch my Master! O! how oft I’ve seen
The touching of his garments bring back
strength
To palsied limbs: I feel it has to mine.
Up! bear me once more to my church—once
more • ,
There iet me tell them of a Saviour s love;
For by the sweetness of my Master’s voice
Just now, I think He must be very near—
Coming, 1 trust, to break the vail which time
Has worn so thin that I can see beyond,
And watch his footsteps.
• So raise up my head,
IIow dark it is. l.cannot seem to see
The faces of my flock. Is that the sea
That murmers so, or is it weeping? Hush!
My little children! God so loved the world
He gave His Sou; so love ye one another;
Love God and man, Amen. Now bear me back.
Mv legacy to an angry world is this.
I feel my work is flniBhed. Are the streets so
full?
AVUat call the folk my name? The Holy John?
Nay, wiite me rather Jesus Christ's beloved,
“ and lover of my children.
Lay me down
Once more upon my couch, and open wide
The eastern window. See! There comes a
Light
Like that which broke upon my soul at eve,
When in the dreary isle of Patinos, Gabriel
came
And touched me on the shoulder. See! it grows
As when we mounted towards the pearly gates,
1 know the way! I trod it once before.
And hark! it is the song-tlie ransomed sung
Of Glory to the Lamb! IIow loud it sounds!
And that unwritten one! Metliinks my son!
Can join it now. But who are these who crowd,
The shining way? Say!—joy 'tis the eleven!
With Peter first; how eagerly he looks?
How bright the smiles are beaming on James
I am the last. Once more we are complete.
To gather ’round the Paschal feast. My place
Is next mv Master. O, my Lord! my Lord!
How bright thou art, and yet the very same
I loved in Galilee! ’Tis worth the hundred
years
To feel this bliss! So lift me up, dear Lord,
Unto Thy Bosom. There shall 1 abide.
Come to Stay.
Get pictures if you can. Nothing is
more melancholy, particularly to a
person who has to pass much time in his
room, than blank walls and nothing
on them, for pictures are loopholes of
escape for the soul, leading it to oth
er scenes and spheres. It is such an
inexpressible relief to some persons en
gaged in writing, or even reading,
on looking up, not to have his line of
vision stopped short by an odious bare
wall, but to find his soul escaping, as
it were, through the frame of an ex
quisite picture to other beautiful and
perhaps, idyllic scenes, where the
fancy of a moment may revel, refresh
ed and delighted.
A Boston paper, in speaking lately
of the number of new medical reme
dies which are offered to the public
every year, called attention to the
fact that the majority of them have a
very short existence. Some are nev
er heard of after twelve months have
passed by; others are forgotten in the
course of three or four years, while it
is a rare thing to know of any which
retain their popularity longer than
eight or ten years. When there is an
exception to this rule, it may be set
down as a fact that the article pos
sesses some extraordinary merit to
survive so many changes. The most
remarkable illustration of this is seen
in St. Jacobs Oil. Steadily and sure
ly it worked its way into public favor,
receiving no help, except from its own
efficacy, and to-day there is hardly a
civilized country in which it is not
hailed as a conquerer of pain. Like
Tennyson’s brook, men may come
and men may go, but bt. Jacobs Oil
goes on forever.

A child should be taught early the
importance and use of the tooth
brush. Rather let the face or hands
remain unwashed than the teeth be
-unbrushed before the morning meal.
The habit becomes soon acquired; its
advantage in saving the teeth from
decay and preventing suffering is in
calculable.

YOUNG LADY, BE A WOMAN.
BY R. M. ORME.
The world in civilized societv is fnli
of so-tailed ladies; but what is wanted
in this day of show, sham and shallow
ness, is the true and ideal woman
Not the butterfly of society; not the
outside display of lady-like looks; nor
the shallow display of accomplish
ments. But what is wanted are
those qualities of mind and heart
which are in the make up of the real
ly true woman. Character in Avoman
is everything. It is that Avhich com
mands respect under all circumstan
ces, and amid all surroundings. Char
acter is that'which stamps the true
woman; display' declares the lady;
the recognition of the duties of life
test the true Avoman; Avhile showy
accomplishments point to the lady.
The true woman does not ignore ac
complishments, gifts, ora cultivated
mind; she has all these and much
more besides; they are to her what
the dessert is to the table; the furni
ture in the parlor is to t he rest of the
house. Her thoughts are "those of
duty, be^she ipaid, Avife ormothel*. Life
has duties,- and the true woman is
alive to those duties in .action and ih
thought.
The Bible tells us what is expected
of the true Avoman: she was intended
first of all, as a helpmeet to man; for
that end Avas she 'created, and for
that purpose was. she given to him.
Not to please him Avith sweet looks,
or external display; nor- to charm him
by her beauty; but to be to him a
helpmeet. Or as Solomon would put
it,-as we find in Proverbs 31: 26, 27, 28:
“She openeth her mouth with wis
dom, and on her tongue is the law of
kindness. She looketh well to the
ways of her household, and eateth
not the bread of idleness. Her child
ren rise up and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praiseth her.”
Here we haA T e the true and ideal
woman; here we have the lady in the
woman, but in the subjective mood.
The lady may ha ve manners, she may
be the daughter of fashionable socie
ty, and her alma mater, a school
where politeness of speech without
heart is taught, and manners, with
show, all important. Analyse the
fashionable lady, and the residuum
after ev r aporating all the prodigious
pretentions, will be fouqd to be,
dress and deceit, manners fitting sur
roundings and speech without heart:
a creature to be admired, not for
Avliat she really is, but Avliat she ought
to be: One Avho if thrown upon her
own resources, mental or otherwise,
would declare herself a very pauper
and a fit subject for commissera-
tion.
The true woman, is a woman in pro
sperity, and more of a woman in mis
fortune and adversity. She takes on
more of her self-reliance as darker
grows the night of disaster. Not
helpless, not timid, not leaning, not
cast down, she rises Avith the occa

not gentlemen; men worthy of their
birth and the mother Avho bore them.
The Spartan Avomen were taught
character from their birth, and the
Spartan soldier’s heart knew no fear;
for as the mother handed the sword
and shield to her son, she bid him a
farewell with the words: “Come
back Avith it or come back upon it;
let no Avound be found upon vour
back.”
With the true woman, love is a
principle, with the lady, it is a ca
price; the true Avoman educates her
child; the lady, lets hers grow. The
"true woman, is a silent power: the
lady, the conspicuous talker; the

Three of us, being Deacon Richard
Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette, the
Fat Contributor and myself, fished
off the dock at Elk Rapids for five
long, weary hours and got one perch
weighing five ounces, says 51. Quad,
of the Detroit Free Press. When we
started for the hotel each of us put a
hook in the mouth of the victim,
threw the poles on our shoulders and
we stepped off softly and sadly.
There was a little old man from Louis
ville on the hotel veranda as we came
up. He had fished and bobbed and
bobbed and fished for two weeks
without getting a bite.
“Gentlemen,” he said, as we came
up, “did you all hook that perch to
once?”
“To once,” we replied in chorus.
“All pull to once?”
“To once.”
“That’s all I wan’t to know. If it
takes three big, able-bodied liars
five hours to hook a little fish like
that, I’m going where an old man
and a Christian can have some sort of
a show! Landlord, how much do I
owe you?”
And he was gone in two hours.
