Let the Democrats everywhere unite in making nominations for all offices and in all cases discounte nance inde pendentism. If we have a party let the majority govern. This is the only sound and safe rule. New York papers represent busi ness men as being cheerful and en couraged with the condition of trade. The prospect ot a general revival of trade is good and encouraging. John Esten Cooke, the famous southern author, died ou the 27th ult., at his home near Ferdericksburg, Va. “Surry of Eagle’s Nest,” and his other works, will perpetaate his mem ory in the minds of all lovers of good reading. _ Mr. John T. Waterman, late of the Griffin Sun, has bought an interest in the Atlanta Evening Capitol.— He will take the place of Col. Avery, who recently resigned on account of ill health. It is stated that having formally es tablished and chartered Augusta Lodges of the Knights of Labor in Augusta, Mr. Meynardie has left to attend the general convention of Knights of Labor at Richmond, Va. He has planted a trouble in Augusta, that will not be propitious to laborers or people generally in that city. This is our opinion, and time will test its truth. ^ In Atlanta a few days ago, while the workmen were raising a stone weighing several thousand pounds to the third story of the new capitol building, it slipped from the grip pers and fell, crushing to death a Mr. Larkin, superintendant of the work, who was standing on the gfound im mediately under the block. He was instantly killed, being horribly mu tilated. ^ The Knights of Labor t it seems, have the control of Chatham. They have, in the primary meeting nomi nated a full ticket for the Legislature. It consists of P. W. Russell, C. P. Ash- ly and J. W. Wilson, defeating W. W. Gordon, Col. Reiley and Gazaway Hartridge. The Knights of Labor platform was then read and adopted as the expression of the will of the Democracy of Chatham. Control of convict labor, and retention of the State Road are planks. This looks revolutionary for old Chatham. The laboring population have here tofore been the best citizens of this country—they have developed our re sources, enforced our laws, fought our battles and been the staunchest sup- ? orters of republican government.— 'hey are now in great danger of. be ing misled by idlers and communistic foreigners who creep into or exercise a controling influence in their labor organizations. Idlers are mischief- makers the world over, and are active in all kinds of dissentions and troubles. They are the natural enemies of the workingman—they fatten and hi6 sub stance and poison his mind with the delusion that honest toil is without just reward. People will buy in the cheapest markets as a general rule, but is that the safest way? Would it not be best to buy at home Instead of going to Northern and Western markets, even if the latter offer cheaper terms? Rail road and other expenses may leave only a small margin of profit, but the chief objection is losing the advan tage of capital at home. Millions of dollars gent to bther sections for corn, wheat, meat, flour, and other things, is bad policy in the long run. Raise them at home even if there is an ap parent fraction of gain by sending abroad for them. By proper atten tion to all the industries, home rais ing and home markets will be for the best. Diversity of crops and pursuits at home, will in the long run give the greater prosperity to a people. The Charleston Courier publishes the correspondence of a writer for the New York Herald. He says the loss in Charleston, caused by the earth quake will be from five to six millions of dollars. The heaviest losers can take care of themselves the others will need help. This brings down the whole loss to but little over a million of dollars in excess.of one half of former estimates. This is a gratifying report. With but about six millions instead of ten, the troubled prospect is greatly re ieved. Com mercially, the writer says, “Charles ton is all right.” There is a disposi tion to aid Charleston and tonnage will not be wanted whether for home or foreign markets. Work is going on in building and repairs to the ex tent of the means in hand, and the workmen that can be employed. All the former anguish of mind has disap peared and the people are in good spirits. Charlie’s Story. [KATE UPSON.] 1 was sitting in the twilight With my Charlie on my knee— (Little two-year-olrl) forever Teasing, “Talk a ■ tory, p’ease, to me.” Now, 1 said, “Talk me a ; tory,” “Well,” reflectively, “i’ll ’mence, Matnma. 1 did see a kitty, G’eat—big—kitty on a fence.” Mamma smiles. Five little lingers Cover np her laughing lips. ' “Is ’oo laughing?” “Yes,” I tell him, But I kiss the finger tips, And I beg him tell another— “Well,” all smiles, “now I will ’mence, Mamma, I did see a doggie— G’eat—big—doggie on the fence.” “Rather similar, your stories, Arn’t they dear?” A sober look Swept across the pretty forehead, But he sudden courage took, “But I know a nice, new ’tory, ’Plendid, mamma, hear me ’thence— Mamma, 1 did see aelfant, G’eat—big—elfant on the fence.” The Lost Child. [FROM “WIDE AWAKE.”] “1’se lost! could you find me please?” Poor little frightened baby! The wind had tossed her golden fleece, The stones had scratched her dimpled knees. I stooped and lifted her with ease And softly whispered “may-be.” “Tell me your name, my littie maid; I can’t find yon without it.” “My name is Shiny-eyes,” she said, “Yes, but your last?” she shook her head, “Up to my house ’ey never said A single fiDg about it.” ••But dear,” I said, “what is your name?” “Why, didn’t you hear me told you, Dust Shiny-eyes.” A bright thought came: Yes, when you’re good; but when they blame You, little one, is’t just the same When mamma has to scold you?” “My mamma never scolds,” she moans, A little blush ensuing, “’Cept when I’se been a-frowing stones, And then she says” (the culprit owns) “Mehitabel Sapphire Jones. What has you been a-doing?” MARY’S BRAVE EXPLOIT. THE HEROIC ACTION OF A CAROLINA GIRL AT THE REVOLUTIONARY SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. From the London Lilly Leaves. During the war between England and America, in 1779, ‘General Pre- vost marched from Savannah and laid seige to Charleston, but hearing of the advance of General Lincoln, he struck his tents and made a rapid night retreat to Savannah; then cross ing the Stone ferry, he fortified him self on the beautiful Island of St. John. On this Island stood a splendid mansion, surrounded by extensive pleasure grounds, made beautiful by tropical vegetation, and where the voices of the birds were rivalled by the laughter of happy children at play. For in this house there lived fifteen children, eight of them having been born there: the other seven lit tle orphan cousins, adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Gibbes on the death of their mother, Mrs. Fenwick. Mr. Gibbes was an invalid and a cripple, who could only be moved a- bout the grounds in a chair on wheels; but he seldom required the attendance of his faithful black servants, for the children frisking around him, always furnished a spirited team from their own numbers. Only he had sometimes to submit to the sudden desertion of all his steeds, and entered merrily into the general conversation and fun when his carriage was brought to an ignominous standstill, whilst from behind the great trees peeped laugh ing faces, with cries of “Papa!” “Un cle Robert!” Over all this social brightness and joy the neigborhood of hostile sol diery brought a Strange terror, which was increased tenfold when General Prevost selected the ground floor of Mr. Gibbes’ beautiful house as quart ers for his troops, leaving the family to crowd themselves as best they might into the upper rooms. No more games at hide and seek in the park for the children now, nor excur sions in the bath-chair for the invalid, and all feeling of home was taken from a house shared with such in mates. Mrs. Gibbes was obliged to take her husband’s place in managing the estate and domestic affairs, leaving the entire charge of the children to the eldest daughter, Mary Anna, a girl only thirteen years of age, whose calm bravery made them all feel less frightened in her presence. St. John’s Island was onlv thirty miles from Charleston, and when the American officers heard that “Peace ful Retreat,” the name of Mr. Gibbes’ house, was in the hands of the enemy, they determined to rescue it, and two galleys were at once dispatched up the river with orders to dislodge the enemy, but not to fire on the man sion. A thick plantation skirting the river was the point beyond which they anchored, and then the darkness and stillness of the night were broken by the flash and roar of cannon booming on all sides of the British en campment. “Officers and men, suddenly aroused from the sleep they had thought so secure, were rushing about in dismay and confusion, and you may imagine the terror of the family up stairs when awaken to the horrors of a mid night attack. They soon found that it was conducted by friends, but they knew nothing of orders to preserve the house, and thought it best to make a rapid escape. So the poor in valid was carried into his chair, and the household crept out by a back door, brave little Mary carrying one, and sometimes two, of the terrified children. It was a new experience for them to be wandering in the darkness, with only the few garments* that they had hastily dressed themselves with to pro tect them from the pitiless rain, the little ones stumbling in the deep mud, and crying in their childish helpless ness. "But it was worse when the road at the back of the house, which they had chosen for safety, brought them near the river and exactly with in the range of the guns. The shot rattled past them, a ball crashed through the trees close at their side, a charge of grape-shot cut the boughs overhead,’ but Mrs. Gibbes and Mary, each staggering beneath their burden, cried aloud to the Father in heaven to be their shield, and most wonderfully He protected them, so that they had passed unhurt through the terrific fire storm and reached at last the house of one of their field hands, quite out of reach of the guns. Into this little place they thankfully crowded, and Mrs. Gibbes, in a state of utter ex haustion, sank upon a low bed; but as the children clustered round her she started up, the mother's eyes missing one of the fifteen. Oh, Mary! where is John?” The poor little girl looked round, and then, with a moan of anguish, cried— “Oh, mother, mother! he’s left!” That was the worst moment of all. The little child was one of the orphans and very dear to them. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbes, mastering their emotion, consulted earnestly togeth er, and then their attention was turn ed to Mary, who had knelt for a mo ment in prayer at the side of the bed, and then arose with a calm, steadfast face, saying: “Mother, I will go for baby.” The mother thought of the house, perhaps even now in flames or filled with bloodshed, but to aU she only answered: “God will take care of me,’’ and pressing her child in a passion of tenderness to her heart, the mother let her go forth in charge of this Divine Protector. “Cannon to right of herl Cannon to left of her! Volleyed and thundered!” But unimpeded now by any burden the brave girl sped along the danger ous path, God covering her head in the night of battle, and came at last to the old home and to the room where this boy had been sleeping, and open ing the door she saw him sitting up in his little cot, stretching out eager hands to her and cooing with de light. Only a few minutes more, and she came for the third time into the ter rific hailstorm of shot and shell; but rushing through it as though she bore a charmed life, and clasping the child with a clutch that almost fright ened him, she came out of the range of the guns, and within range of the many eyes that .were straining themselves for the first glimpse of her. “Out of the jaws of death” she was welcomed with thanksgiving too deep for words. The boy thus nobly res cued lived to become General Fen wick, famous in the war of 1812. The tablet to the memory of Mrs. Sarah Gibbes stands now on the wall of St. Paul’s Episcopal church In this city. A Remarkable Woman. Reading, September 13.—Miss Pol ly Gehris, of Washington township* who died to-day, aged eighty-four years, was the most remarkable wo man in eastern Pennsylvania. She was stoutly built, and possessed great strength. In many ways extremely masculine, she retained, neverthe less, many of the best traits of woman hood. She had a kind heart, was- charitable and had many warm friends. During sixty years she chew ed and smoked tobacco. She attend ed personally to her farm woik, doing even the heaviest work with her own hands, not excepting the quarrying of stone when that was to be done. It was nothing for her to slaughter a half dozen pigs before breakfast. Miss Gehris had good business ideas and worked as she did, not because she was obliged to, but because she liked It. It was one of her delights to teach young women how to become inde pendent workers, and she contended that women would live much longer and be far happier if they would take up outdoor work. Miss Gehris was never married. It was one of her sayings that she never had time to devote to love making. Hence she never wanted a beau. She was long one of the best horsewomen in this section. She leaves considera ble of an estate. Statesmen vs. Demagogues. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) For nearly a year demagogues in and out of Congress have been pois oning the public mind in order to prevent a settlement of the fisheries dispute with Canada. In the mean time the governments of the united States and of the United Kingdom have been negotiating a treaty ot re ciprocity that will put an end to this controversy. The interests of both the United States and Canada demand that this question shall be closed as speedily as possible, and reciprocity is the only feasible inode of settlement. A well known citizen of Lancaster, Pa., Mr. L. B. Keifer, writes: Having a sprained leg of almost thirty da.) s standing, and after trying half a doz en advertised preparationsin the mar ket without satisfactory results, I was advi=ed to trv Salvation Oil, did so and in less than three days my leg was aff right again. It did the work. The Technological SchotL The towns and qjties of Georgia hav> been invited to compete for the loca tion of the technological scfioaL Under this invitation Atlanta enteisp the list. In reciting some of the advantages offered by Atlanta as the home of the- new school, we stated that experience- had proven it unwise to attempt to carry industrial education hand-in- hand with what is called a liberal or classical education. We instanced the outcome of the experiment of the agricultural fund at our own State University. We held then, and hold now, that the attempt to combine an agricultural college 'with a classi cal college neither benefitted the lat ter nor met the purposes of the form er. The industrial education was, as it always will be, subordinated to the liberal education, and especially so in the estimation of the students. We can see no reason for doubting that the technological school would meet the same fate.—Constitution. One of the Oldest Men Alive. There is still living in this parish one of the oldest men in America or perhaps on the globe. He resides near Week's pasture and papers show that he was baptised Aug. 31, 1760. and was a lad sixteen years old at the date of American inde pendence, and was admitted to bis first communion in 1775. His name is Henry Meyers and the land of his nativity is Holland. His documentary proofs are no questionable, and were* thorough!*- examined by Mr. Robert Brown, our assessor, who has kindly furnished izs with the fact. It will thus be seen* that this venerable patriarch of the past century is now 125 years and 3 months old. But for a terrible c&neev which attacked him last year and has eaten off half his face on one side,, bis physical condition otherwise held ©art to him the prospect of rivaling Daniel Parr in longevity. He resided for many years in the first house this side of Grand Marais bridge.—New Iberia (La.) Enterprise. A California Romance. Philadelphia Times. Something over a generation agpu the wedding bells of a California church rang out their chimes in honor of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peachy. Fortune, though not lavi»b r had yet not been unkind to them. and they began life apparently as hap py as our first parents before the falL The divinity that shapes men’s ends shaped theirs so that troubles caiot*.. and with these came harsh words,- misunderstandings and, later, divorce-.. They separated, married again and for twenty-five years did not meet, but a few days ago were called to their early home to attend the fuaeiaiu of their only child—a son. When tb*» casket, in pursuance of an old custom, which should have been abolished long ago, wa 5 opened at the brink of the grave, the father tenderly strok ed the dead boy’s hair, while the gray haired mother kissed his cold lipi*. again and again. But not a singW word was spoken between them. the sexton began covering the lower ed casket with earth the father turned on his heel, while the weepha© mother fell on her knees and began i** pray. Yet men call this an unroman tic age. The marriage certificate of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom states- their respective ages to be forty-nine* and twenty-one.

A Leg Broken.—Eatonton, Sep tember 27.—Betrand, the son of D. J?L Sanders, Gordon, Ga. fell off the tram and had his right leg fearfully man gled this evening by the Eatonton train. An eccentric but very devout and learned minister, who was formerly the pastor of the Baptist church at Albany, at one of the Sabbath morn ing services was reading the I16th Psalm. He read the verse, “I- said in my haste, all men are iiars.” The rev erend gentleman stopped, and with considerable warmth exclaimed : “Ob? David, thou couldst say at their leis ure, all men are liars.”—Albany News. Two citizens, of Georgetown, Ga^ were arrested recently for breaking the sabbath by doing carpenter work. The complainant said in court that the noise of the hammer disturbed his wife’s religious meditations, and the judge, after looking up the law, found that for white men tho punishment was a fine of not over five dollars,.and for negroes of not more than thirty nine lashes.
