Number 14* EDITORIAL GLIMPSES. Austria has taken position against Russian interference in Bulgaria. She wants, the Balkan states to be in dependent. What this country needs is a tidal wave of promptness in debt-paying. Show us a man that makes it a rule to meet his obligations promptly even if he is compelled, in some in stances, to do so at a sacrifice, and we will show you, in the same person, a man who never lacks for friends or help financially. Hon. John Sherman addressed the citizens of Portsmouth, Ohio, last evening, on issues between the Re publican and Democratic parties. He spoke two hours and a half laud ing the Republicans and picking al leged flaws in the present national administration. He wants to be the Republican candidate for the Presidency. 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. The Massachusetts Democrats. Writing paper, pens, ink, pencils, blank books, envelopes, and all kinds of stationery, for sale at this office. 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 company. Why may not it become the crack company of the State.— Eatonton Messenger.
