The President has sent a cablegram to Queen Victoria, acknowledging her expression of sympathy with the suf ferers by the recent earthquake. N. W. Rothschild & Sons and Messrs. Baring Bros. & Co., sent each 500 pounds for the Charleston Suffer ers. It is probable that a large sum will be raised. • . Contributions of aid for the suffer ers continue to flow into Charleston to the amount of many thousands of dollars. The people in all sections are kind to the sufferers. The Treasury Department is can celling large amounts of small bills in order to force sil\-er out of the A T aults of the Department. There is said to be more silver in circulation than ev er -before.

The Constitution fays the Athens Banner pays a high compliment to Messrs. E. B. Hook, T. G. Gibson and T. B. Murphey, Atlanta and Augusta correspondents. The Banner under Mr. Pleasant Stovall, is fast taking a front rank in Georgia journalism. The statement is made that all the varied machinery of Great Britain now operated by steam power is capable of performing more Avork, and hence of creating more por- ducts than could be produced by the labor of 400,000,000 able-bodied men, a greater number than all the able-bodied men on earth.—Ex change, The two Taylor, brothers, one run ning for Governor on the Democratic and the other for the Republican ticket occupied the same room at Chattanooga.

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 paper in a country house by a gentle man who had sought lodging there for the night; and were thus restored to circulation. And also were found, about eight years ago in a Philadel phia Magazine. The author is un known. * R. W. A. 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. The Use of Delectalave a Necessity. 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. For sale in MilledgeA'ille, by C. L. Case, Druggist. 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 sion. Such women give birth to men, 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 true woman, the strength of a nation; the lady, the extravagance of a peo ple. In the language of Simonides: “A man cannot possess anything that is better than a good woman, nor any thing worse than a bad one.” “Aii! woman in this world of ours. What gift can »>e compared to thee? How slow would drag life’s weary hours, Though man's brow were hound with flowers,” One Fish and Three Liars. [New York Morning Journal.] 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. is “It is as harmless as'it is effective, what is said of Red Star Cough Cure by Dr. S. K. Cox, D.
