The Cattle Plague.—A Chicago
dispatch speaks of the question of
Pleuro-pneumonia as giving great
trouble to cattle owners, stock deal
ers, butchers, and others, in that sec
tion. Decisive efforts will be made
to stamp out the plague everywhere,
beginning at the ranges and follow
ing up the progress of the cattle to
their destinations. It is a costly plan
but the loss will be slight compared
with the slaughter of thousands of an
imals that might be saved by the de
cisive plan of killing such as might be
infected, t’je moment a single one is
discovered to he infected with the
disease.
The Republican papers are insist
ing that the Republicans in office
should not be disturbed and the civil
service law should be obeyed. ‘'Thou
hypocrite! first cast the beam out of
thine own eye, and then thou shalt
see clearly to cast the mote out of
thv brother’s eye.” These Republi
cans are cloaking their own depravity
under a deceitful garb. What unan
ointed saints they are? All along
until the close of the last Presidential
election, they were spending thou
sands, perhaps millions of dollars, to
carry the elections and forcing all
their employees in office to contribute
funds for that purpose. Could a
greater badge of distinction in the
hypocritical line, be presented than
this?
Tobacco is so universally used that
let the supply be what it may the
price is such as to make it a profitable
crop. We noticed, recently, that
numbers of leading men in England
are advocating its growth in that
country on a larger scale. We are
pleased to see that a goodly number,
of our Georgia agriculturists, are turn
ing their attention to its produc
tion J Snuff is a good sternutatory.
Chewing tobacco is a delightful stim
ulant, and a fine cigar is a pleasing
quieter of agitated nerves. But it must
be remembered that excess in their use
is very injurious to the system; so is
too much food and excess in the use
of any of the stimulants. Many
things that are real blessings are
turned into evils by excess in their
use.
The Storm’s Work.
A terrible storm did immense injury
to the South-western coast of Texas
during the last week of September.
Over 200 houses were blown down in
Brownsville. Three hundred families
were rendered homeless. In Mata-
moras over thirty blocks were flooded
from 3 to 8 feet. At Point Isabel the
quarantine was swept away. A four
masted steamer was swept away 50
miles south of the Rio Grande and was
a total loss, supposed to be an Eng
lish vessel. The Captain and crew
were saved. The destruction of prop
erty was immense.

Hear is what they said in convention
at Worcester on the 20th, on the
Tariff and Silver. They go with the
great majority on these questions:
We demand a judicious reform of the
tariff. All the needed protection to
the capital and labor of the various
industries can be assured under a re
vised scale of duties, which will afford
all the rev enue required by the govern
ment and relieve the government and
the mass of the people of the weight
of taxation. Honest money must be
maintained; gold and silver coinage of
the constitutional medium, based on
both coinages convertable into either,
must be defended against assaults.
The Dakota Territory Democrats
in convention on the 30th. ult., de
nounce the tariff as an unjust and bur
densome discrimination against x\gri-
culture.
Youth and After Life.
The reminiscences of early life
streaming in vivid beauty, afford sen-
sations.of superior pleasure in the busy
scenes of middle life, and but little
less so in life’s declining years. Many
feel, and think, and smile, and some
times weep, again, with the heart of
a child. This refines and purifies the
human heart, restoring it to a sort of
youthful elasticity to its kindlier and
noble powers, and the more so, as a
reliance upon earthly fathers was clos
ed by the silent and unfeeling grave:
and we are taught to cast our depen
dence upon our Father in Heaven, in
whose sight we are all, young and old,
to cast our dependence upon Him.
We are all alike, helpless, and alike
children, under his wise and fatherly
superintendence. Men as well as
children are dependent upon the
Father who rules in the kingdom of
Heaven. Man, however strong and
powerful, feels the meekness and
sense of entire dependence upon Him
that is manifested in the weakness
and dependence of the young.
The world, with all its delightful
promises, is unsatisfactory at best; to
many it is as gall and wormwood:
hopes vanish treacherously from our
sight, leaving us spent and heartsick,
in the vain pursuit of its glittering
E romises. No one feels that it is a
ome of unmixed happiness. When
we gain that which we so ardently
seek, is the fruition perfect? Are there
no specks upon the ripening fruit, no
tainting mildew spots? Are no eyes
closed in the sleep of death, that
would have sparkled with the reflect
ed light of our happiness? Is there
no tongue in the grave that would
have blessed Goa for blessing us? Oh
Heaven! how little is to be hoped,
and if but one is missing what shall
replace the void? In the changes in
our South but few have escaped the
rugged frowns of fortune.
Who can look but with deep and
tender emotion on the profusive tears
that escape through the unclosing
floodgates of human sorrow? Yes, by
the time we start forward on the ca
reer of youth, if even our nearest and
dearest friends encircle us, how many
of those persons to whom habit or af
fection linked us must have finished
their allotted race? How many of the
objects, we shall eagerly pursue, may
fail to afford us half the gratification
we have known in our childish, inno
cent attachments? Our most perfect
enjoyments, in mature life, bring with
them a certain portion of disquietude,
a craving after new, or higher enjoy
ments, an anxious calculation on the
probable stability of those already
ours, a restless anticipation of the fu
ture. And there, in that very point,
consists the great barrier separating
youth from childhood. The child en
joys the present, makes no reference
to the past and no inquiries into the
future. He feels that he is happy,
and satisfied with that blest percep
tion, searches not into the nature of,
or probable duration of his bliss.
There may be, there are, in after life,
intervals of far sublimer happiness;
for if thought, if knowledge bringeth
a curse with it, casting as it were the
shadow of death over all that in this
world seemed good and fair, and per
fect, reason enlightened by revelation,
and supported by faith, hath power
to lift that gloomy veil and to see be
yond it the glory that shall be reveal
ed hereafter. But with the expecta
tion of such moments, when our
hearts commune with heaven, when
our thoughts are, in a manner, like
angels ascending and descending
thereon, what feelings of the human
mind can be thought so nearly to re
semble those of the yet guiltless in
habitants of Eden as the sensation of
the voung and happy child?
Death of John Esten Cooke.
Augusta Chronicle:
When Col. John Esten Cooke laid
down the burden of this life for the
refreshment of a higher one, there
passed from the gaze of mortals one
of the most valiant, knightly and gift
ed of men.
After the battle of deadly imple
ments he began the battle for bread
in a high and noble way. His sword
was sheathed and his pen became the
mightier and more magical weapon.
He essayed poetry, history and ro
mance with distinguished credit and
signal ability, shining most as a nar
rator for the great deeds of Lee and
Jackson.
We trust that this bright spirit has
met in the wonderland of eternity the
heroes he knew and wrote about in
this material sphere. How would the
old commanders welcome him, and
what a greeting the Chevalier of the
Lost Cause, the peerles Stuart, would
accord?
The idiom and jargon fashions of
composition are having a temporary
run, in these times, but another gen
eration will return to the writings of
John Esten Cooke. With sabre and
pen, he did a man’s duty for Virginia
and the South, and now, surrendering
to the conqueror of conquerors, he
crosses the silent river that Jackson
saw in his last moments, to repose in
the shade of trees adorning the gard
en that fades not.
Mr. J. E. Bonsai, New Bloomfield,
Pa., clerk of the several courts of
Perry co., Pa., was afflicted with
rheumatism for more than thirtv
years. After spending hundreds of
dollars with different physicians, and
trying every known remedy without
benefit, he used St. Jacobs Oil, which
effected an entire cure.
THE LATE COL. L. N. WHITTLE.
Bishop Beckwith in his annual ad
dress pays the following just and
beautiful tribute to the memory of
the late Col. Whittle. We are indebt
ed to Col. F. G. Grieve for a copy of
the Journal of the Convention of the
Episcopal Church from which we codv
as follows :
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent*.
On the 18th of February it was my
sad privilege to be present and take
part in the funeral services of Col. Lew
is N. Whittle. One by one our land
marks are being removed, our leaders
are passing away, our own responsibil
ities are increasing, and the shortness
and uncertainty of human life are
becoming to us more and more real.
Few laymen in any Diocese were ever
more useful, none more faithful than
Col. Whittle. As a member of the
General Convention, as a delegate to
this Body, as a member of the Stand
ing Committee, as Senior Warden of
Christ Church, Macon, and as Trustee
of the University of the South, he has
been for many years our most promi
nent Representative. Those who
knew him most intimately loved him
most sincerely. He was the determin
ed foe of everything false and unreal,
and the reliable advocate of all that
was pure and genuine and manly.
His devotion to virtue and his con
tempt for vice had in them an element
of chivalry. With all the brusque
ness of his manner and the occasion
al bluntness of his speech, no knight
of the Middle Age ever devoted a
more sincere or a braver heart to the
defence of the reputation of woman
than did Col. Whittle. A want of
consideration, a lack of refined cour
tesy, on the part of a man toward a
woman, stirred in him an indignation
whose expression none could suppress
and none could misunderstand. In
his dealings with men he was frank,
straightforward, honest and true;
while as a Christian, in the presence
of his God, his faith was as that of a
little child, and his obedience was
without reserve; hand and heart were
ever ready to do his Master’s will and
serve his Master’s Church. His death
has caused a vacant place in this Con
vention which cannot easily be filled.
How intently he watched and took
his part in our proceedings! How
jealously he guarded the honor and
welfare of the Church, I can never
forget. Through all these sad mem
ories of the past there runs, like a sil
ver thread, the recollection of his
quaint humor, and the good-natured
lectures he, ever and anon, would de
liver to Bishop and clergy. We
thought them amusing then, but they
come back to me now, like the echoes
of an old song, that I would gladly
hear again. But the Master called
him home; through the silence he
heard the sweet voice saying :
“Friend, come up higher;” and one of
the purest, noblest spirits among the
sons of the Church passed away to
meet his Lord in Paradise.
One of the most prominent traits of
character of the teacher is love of his
profession. He has many good rea
sons to be proud of his profession;
and but few to be ashamed of it. If
the model teacher should compare
himself with Angelo, who formed
images from the cold marble, lifeless
and perishable, he might say of him
self: “My work is higher, for I ain
vested with power to mould a heart
warm with the beatings of youth,
and direct a mind perennial in fresh
ness and immortal in youth.” If he
should compare himself with Mozart,
the great musician, he might say:
“My work is even superior, for I am
a performer upon a more complex
instrument than his, strung with a
thousand chords, and each chord sus
ceptible of a thousand tones.” If he
should compare himself with Hanni
bal, Caesar, Alexander and Napoleon,
he would still find his profession un
surpassed and unsurpassable. These
great heroes were conquerers of earth
ly kingdoms; but he is the conquerer
of the diminion of mind. May he not
enrol himself with Socrates, who ex
alted his profession above that of
statesmen, generals and philosophers,
inasmuch as he taught the youth how
to become proficient statesmen, gen
erals and philosophers? Does he
sometime become ashamed of his com
pany? Let him look upon the obe
lisk of fame and see with whom he is
enrolled. The fellowship is a distin
guished one: Zoroaster, Confucius,
Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristo
tle, Moses, Euclid, Cicero, Paul, De
mosthenes, Newton, Charlemagne,
Abelard, Alfred the Great, Roger As-
cham, Lord Bacon, Descartes, Jaco-
tat, Loyola, Luther, Pestalozzi, Agas
siz, Hopkins, Garfield, McCosh, Por
ter, et al.—a grand array and variety
of character. Self-government char
acterized many of these worthies in a
high degree. To know how to govern
and to be governed is a pre-requisite
of character.
A Silent Preacher.
A single verse wrietten on paper,
now yellow with age, hangs, on the
walls of a nobleman’s study in Eng
land. It has a remarkable history,
and has, in two notable instances, at
least been blessed of God to conver
sion.’ The verse was originally com
posed by D r * Valpy, the eminent
schoiar and author of standard
school books. He was converted late
in life, and wrote this verse as a con-
fession of faith:
<‘ln peace let me resign my breath,
And thy salvation see;
My sins deserve eternal death,
But Jesus died for me.’’
Washington, Oct. 4,1886*.
Editor Union-Recorder:
The past week, while full of minor-
political and social events has been,
distinguished by nothing momenta**!*
or sensational. The President anC'
his Cabinet, with the exception «f
the Secretary of State and the Secret
tary of the Treasury, are now Star
Washington. It is understood thadt
Mr. Manning will resume charge 1 <af
the Treasury port folio early ness
week. Never before has this great
department been managed "with suck
economy and systematic efficiency to
under its present head. The financial
policy of the adminstration has mnt.
the approval of all political parties^
and last month the National debt wats
cut down $11,000,000. Intelligence
from all sources indicates a generefi
revival of business and the glootziv-
predictions of Sherman, Blair aito
other Republican Wiggins, that Best-
ocratic success would mean Nations^
bankruptcy are now derided by tbeie
recent dupes. The indications are
very clear that before the two and n
half remaining years term of the pres
ent administration are concluded, the
afore-mentioned Wiggins will be
brought to further confusion. Mucb
has been done to simplify the compli
cated and ponderous Civil Service e»
tablishment which the Democrat*
came into after twenty-five years- of
Republican mismanagement‘and de
bauchery, but there is time to accom
plish much more. Mr. Benedict’s first
move was to discharge over three
hundred employes and nobody, hn
Washington is surprised to learn tfrax.
paradoxical as it may seem, more and
better work is accomplished with tlsc
reduced force. The condition in whiek
Mr. Benedict found the Government
Printing office proves conclusively
that the change was not made too
soon. People who had any chanoe-
to observe the inner workings of ti*i*
great establishment, have long knows:
that the reputation for efficiency dftv
tained by Public Printer Rounds was*
a myth created by the little mutrad
admiration society he had collected
about himself. The fact that when
he stepped out he w r as spending ear&
day about twice as many dollars- sis
Congress had appropriated to run the
office leaves nothing further to be
said.
In the Postoffice Department, which,
includes by far the largest number of
unclassed employes, the offices ap
pear to be about equally divided be
tweeu Republicans arid Democrat*.
In the Department of Justice souai
sixty per cent, of the unclassified ema
ployes are Democrats, while in alii the
other Departments the proportion c#
Dem'ocrcts is something less -
half,—in one case not more than tem
per cent.
The fiction that Senator Shermaik
and other Republican orators are pro
claiming from the stump that that
present administration is hostile- to
the Union Veterans can be easily re
futed by figures in the Pension office.
The statement that the “confederal*
element is beginning to dominate tirt-
Pension Bureau” is a lie out of wbbie
cloth. There are employed at pres
ent in the Pension Bureau 330 clerks
from the Southern States. Of *****
number 278 are shown by the official
records to have been appointed tor
th3 previous administrations and onlv
52 by Gen. Black. These 52 clerk*
were appointed after examination ftsy
the Civil Service Commission, and ro
the age limit—forfcy-ffve years—is stilt
in force, but very few of the numbw?
could possibly have seen serviee to
the Confederate army. As a inatter-
of fact, but five of them were ex-C©&-
federates, while sixteen ex-Confeder
ates were appointed by former admin
istrations. The recent appointee*
from the South are young and ener
getic man of the new generation that
has sprung up in that section since
the war. The records of the officer
further show that more pensions haw-
been allowed under Gen. Black’s ad
ministration than any previous oxw-
in the Pension Office, and notwith
standing the charges made that Get*.
Black has been turning out ex-Unio*L
soldiers it is a fact that there are now
on the rolls of the Pension Burewn
more ex-Union soldiers than raider
any previous administration. OS
course a few ex-Union soldiers hare
been dismissed and for very gocto
reasons other than political. To tbwr
vacancies thus made other ex-Uniont
soldiers have been appointed.
Capt. W. E. Haygood, of Milledge
ville, was in Eatonton Monday night
and inspected the Putman Rifles? &&
appointed by the Governor. The in
spection was thorough. He pro
nounced their uniforms, arms and
accoutrements without blemish. I*
the manual of arms they acquitted
themselves spendidly, and he said
that the company was one of the best
uniformed and equipped in the State.
Capt Adams is highly gratified at the
exhibit of his company and the com-
fliments passed upon it by Capt.
laygood. It is to be hoped that
new life will be infused into this
