I One of ex-Gov. Waller's first public
speeches was made at Cohanzie,
Conn., soon after lie left school. He
| waxed eloquent over the “honest
j farmers of Cohanzie,’’ and won much
I applause. Next day a couple of farm
j hands were arrested for ehie.ken-steal-

' has been spoken of as “Tom Waller’s
lien speech.”

Philadelphia. Pa., Dec. 81.—The
announcement of the secret marriage
«f Mrs. H. W. Breckley to Jos. E.
Tbropp causes a sensation in fashion
able society. Mrs. Hreckley was Miss
Scott, the only daughter of the late
Tlios. A. Scott. She formed an at
tachment for Thropp years ago,
though lie was a working man and
much older thnn she, hut through
her parents’ influence the acquaint
ance was severed and she married
Breckley. Thropp also married.
Breckley died and then Thropp got a
j divorce and tiie present marriage is
j the sequel. Miss Scott inherited #15,-
000,000 from her father.
We have become more and more
convinced of tiie wisdom of Pres
ident < ’leveland’s policy on the
Taril! question. Its reconstruction is
evidently gaining strength. Our
Democratic papers were being exci

posure of its iniquities, but the Pres
ident’s action has excited them to the
use of tiie record-breaking power
known intimately to tlie few who
have been assaulting the Republican
protection banners with unusual
force, si net* the election of Mr. Cleve
land to tiie Presidency. One after
another, ;the nuti-protection-banners
have been flying over their bat teries
with much effect, but not with more
energy and power than at any former
period in our country’s history. Mr.
Cleveland’s hold advance Inis startled

the old Mason's and Dixon’s line on

question before the people. We say
it has startled friends, we. mean dem

democrats, especially north of that
line, were less instructed on this

COL. TH08. JOHNSON, OF KY.
Tiie subject of this biographical
sketch, though so long a resident of
tiie State of Kentucky, is as well
known almost in this city and sec
tion as lie is at Ids home, at Mt.
Sterling. He lias been a stock dealer
in Middle Georgia for 50 years, and
enjoys the confidence of the people
here to as great an extent as any
mail horn and raised in our midst.
His first appearance in Milledgeville
was in the Fall or Winter of 18117,
when he brought a drove of white
hogs to this place. He stopped with
Robert McCoiuh, who kept the Me-
Comb Hotel, and between the two
gentlemen there was tiie warmest
friendship as long as Col. McCoiuh
lived. There is living here now hut
one man who was a resident when
Col. Johnson first arrived in Mil
ledgeville- that gentleman is Mr.
elms. H. Wright. The Col. takes a
lively interest in Milledgeville and
Baldwin county and lias been for
a long time tiie owner of considera
ble lands in tills county and some city
and for this reason our
of them.
Kentucky and other States, and be
ing identified with the general busi
ness interests of Mount Sterling and
vicinity. He was married in 1871 to
Elizabeth, daughter of Albert G.
Peters of Montgomery County, and
liassix children; namely, Albert Syd
ney, Annie, Sally, l’attie, Mary H.,
and Susette Johnson. The Peters
family is also an old anil prominent
oue in Montgomery County and has
always occupied a leading place. Col.
Johnson was converted under the
preaching of Elder John A. Brooks,
in the year of 1807, attached himself
to the Christian Church at Somerset
after being baptized by immersion,
and has ever since been a faithful
member.
Though now in the 70th year of his
age he is in this city, at the time we

Mrs. Lamar, women say, is sure to
he made happy by the transfer from
the Cabinet to the court. When tiie
bench is full, there are nine families—
two more than in tiie Cabinet. But
whatever is tiie reason, it is certain
that tiie court families have much the
easier fife, and an altogether better
time. Not tiie half is expected of tiie
court that is demanded of tiie Cabinet
in tiie way of social entertainment.
Nobody quarrels with tiie court wo
men about "first calls.’’ •Indeed, they
get first calls from everybody except
tiie President’s wife and Vice Presi
dent's wife. This seems to have been
a courtesy put down in their favor as
long ago as President Buchanan’s ad
ministration. The court circle is
neither frivolous nor gay. Staid
Thursday afternoon receptions and
formal dinner parties and frequent
whist rubbers are the extent of its so-
cial dissipations.
THE NEW YEAR.
We salute our readers upon the
opening of a new year, wishing that
it may be a time of merriment and
glee, and if trials of any kind oppress
them, that they will he lightened in
thankfulness for xirolongeil existence,
wishes that may be fulfilled and pleas
ures that may be enjoyed.
The ancient Greeks and Romans
celebrated the first day of the new
year, and all along down the stream
of time it has been kept up, especial
ly among Christian people who look
ed with hopefulness upon the future,
who, unlike the Pagans, did not lean
upon heathen Gods, but bowed in
humble adoration of tlie Christian
■HOUR well improved, valuable lots, ; God and liis adorable son.

without doubt the most ilesirabl
the influence of that cupiivuting doc
trine within whose folds were found
the lurking frauds of uuconstitution-
al enactments which afforded no pro
tection to tiie musses of people, who
were annually robbed to add to tiie
riches of tiie monopolizing few. This,
tiie people are huviug gradually un
folded to their view. The Democrat
ic President speaks, and, in liis an
il ual message lie speaks oil one sub
ject only. How'/ Why is this? Why
overlook all the other usual topics
which, since the foundation of tlie
Union, have been brought to view
for the consideration of tiie people's
representatives. There was a reason
for it. Our foreign relations were am
icable, tiie Treasury was full to ple
thora, peace reigned in all the States,
the sun, by day, edged tlie clouds
with their rosy light and moved mag
nificently on its gilded throne; and
yet a murmur arose and over the
striking grandeur of our land, amidst
tiie bright scenes of opulence and
ease, for the few, were spreud out in
indigence and trouble for the many.
Our great and good President ask
ed why was this? Nature was kind,
hilt the government, the people’s uov-
ernuieiit intended for a giant throne
and power to protect them, failing in
duty, regardless of justice and honor,
piled up taxes upon food, and rai
ment, which they needed, to swell the
coffers of tiie rich monopolists. This
touched the honest heart of our great
hi id good President, and around the
graves of long forgotten days, and at
the base of the great Washington's
monument, lie pledged liis honor and
all liis political hopes, to destroy the
godless Moloch who was supping the
foundations of the people’s prosperi
ty and happiness. President Cleve
land lias resolved to risk the fate of
fortune in defence of the people, and
they will stand by him in fcis brave
and noble effort for constitutional
right and eternal justice.

Our New Year's day (according to
tiie Roman phraseolgy) the first of
Kalends of January, was remarkable
fur tiie compliments people exchang

descended to us since the ancient iu-
j tercourse with them. There is no au

j custom borrowed from tile Romans,
still it is a good and pleasing one, giv :
ing rise to kindly greetings and pleas
ant impulses. The plea,sunt greetings
of the New Year are often accompan

than for their value. New Year's rev-

The entrance of a new year lias its

hopes arid anticipations of good for

It heralds the approacli of Spring,
