Tiie fates have not been kind to the

the General Johnston who died at

sity and a Shokesperean expert. He

We have never seen the political
pot begin to boil so soon in Georgia
preceding the Fall elections. It is
over eight months to the day for our
State elections, and in many counties
tlie canvass for legislative and Con
gressional honors is actively engaged
in. Tlie politicians are starving.
When more than one railroad
passes through a town or small city,
it will he found that the place will be
injured by it : because its natural pa
trons have a chance to go to bigger
cities to sell and buy, where they get
better prices for their products and
better bargains when they buy. Tlie
farmers and land-owners are men who
are benefited most by new railroads.
Tallapoosa, Ga., has just spent $27,-
000 to advertise that town, says the
Cartersville Courant, and does not
propose to stop at that, but intends
to keep on in tlie same way. The
town is building manufacturing en
terprises and new houses and has
nearly 2,000 population. Two years
ago it didn't have more than 200 pop
ulation; you see wliat co-operation,
organization, money and udvertisiug
will do.
At the regular directors’ meeting
of tlie Georgia railroad on Tuesday
tlie principal business was the decla
ration of the dividend, and instead
of tlie regular dividend an extra one
per cent was added, and this makes
the solid old Georgia a 11 per cent
stock.
The stock will be maintained easily
as a 11 per cent, and the dividends
will be payable three times a year.
This extra dividend acts like a charm
on tlie quotations, and sends old
Georgia away up again. It jumps
immediately from 200, and bids of 220
are freely made.
Beauty- A Woman’s Hand.
It is not to be questioned that Eve
was the most perfect wpuian God
ever made. She was His ideal in fea
ture, form and heart. To question
this would be to question Almighty
power and providence. By this stan
dard then let us judge of tlie beauty
of woman. Wlmt was tho chief
charm of this lovely creature? Was
it face, or form, or eye, or tongue, or
feet, or arms, or neck and bosom?
Did any or all of these charms capti
vate tlie first perfect man? No. What
then? It was that hand extended
with tlie apple in it. Was it' the
apple that brought the blight of sin
on all i lie world of mankind? Cer
tainly not. There were millions of
apploB in Paradise as beautiful, as
sweet and joyous as tho one Eve hand
ed to Adam. What then brought tlie
Fall? II was that hand of tho model
mother of us all. In that baud lay a
world’s joy or sorrow. That hand
did not sin in Adam's fall. It is as
pure to day ns it was in Paradise. In
its peerless beauty it is to-day as it
was in Paradise, woman’s oliief charm.
Through its palm and slender, Hupple
fingers, have passed the tenderest
ministrations and most terrible troub
les. In war, in peace, in sickness, in
all tbe sweet solaces that comfort
man, and strengthen woman, that
hand is queen. Touch it tenderly
then my follow men. Look eyes, lis
ten ears, but be admonished my
brother man—never, never, hold that
hand of God’s supreme creation in
thine own until in it is tlie woman's
lieart, and tlie law’s license.
Georgia’s Loss. Who is Responsible!
Somebody’s blunder lias lost a Con
gressional appropriation this year of
$15,000 for Georgia's agricultural
schools. On March 2, 1887, Congress
passed a bill donating tlie proceeds
of tlie sale of public lands to states
and territories to be expended for the
umintainatice of agricultural schools.
By an oversight the bill fulled to spe
cify tiie agricultural sum to be ap-
popriated. Congress, this session
passed a supplementary act appro
priating $15,000 to each state and
territory. Under the provisions of
the iirst bill, tlie first quarterly pay
meut was due on October last. One
feature of tlie original bill,
that each state legislature bus to as
sent to this donation before it cun
be drawn; but if tlie legislature of
any state fail to meet in regular ses
sion before tlie first instalment be
comes due, tlie governor of tlie state
might assent to receive that payment,
but tiie legislature must assent to re
ceive subsequent payments. Govern
or Gordon promptly assented to tlie
first instalment due last October
which can be drawn by Georgia. The
last legislature having failed to give
its assent to the terms of the act,
tlie treasurer has decided in a written
opinion to Mr. Blount, that Georgia
cannot draw tlie payments due in
January, April, June and October,
1888—one year’s donation of $15,000.
The money will lapse into the treasu
ry fur future legislation. Who is *to
blame for Georgia's loss of one year’s
appropriation cannot* be determined
here.—Haydn, Washington Corres
pondent to Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. Blount appeared before tho
committee on agriculture on Wednes
day and explained his bill to enable
Governors to give assents to grants
for aid of agricultural experimental
stations. Tlie committee lias author
ized a report in favor of the measure.
WAYSIDE WALKS- THEMES AND
THOUGHTS.
Baby’s Charmed Life.
Harper’s Magazine.
Across the drugget the baby creeps—
The baby that knows no cares —
Ami the awful direction lie keeps
Leads right to the hard, steep stairs.
Sometimes he climbs on the window sill,
Where a fall his neck would break;
From any botile he drinks his (ill—
Not tho sumo from a spoon he’d take.
Ho sticks his hands in the bulldog’s eyes,
And into the horse's nose;
The table-knife on his hand ho tries,
And kicks Ills face with his toes.
Oh, thus does the baby run his race,
Anil I’m suro his soul would chafe
If he ever happened to got in a place
Where hla life would be really safe.
The N. Y T . Sun says : Mr. Blaine’s
withdrawal from the canvas is un
questionably sincere and decisive.—
He is positively and finally out of the
raeg. Mr. Blaine is a sincere person,
and deception on such a subject is not
merely below his dignity, it is contra
ry to liis habit.
One of tlie most unlovely of people
in tliis wicked world is a man who
never thinks any one is sick, or oan
be, or ougiit to be sick but himself.
Tlie three most precious elements
of animal life, are fire, air, water—
the three that make human life super
nal are, tiie Good, tlie Beautiful, tiie
True. ,
I hear men sometimes speAk of
Boh. lngersoll as “the brilliant Inger-
soll.” Yes—barbaric brilliance. Tlie
more splendid the decorations about
a disgusting object, the more disgust
ing it becomes.
This is exceptionally tlie age of in
vention—and from a nursing bottle to
an engine of death, there is no hiatus
in tiie strido of mind. I wait witli
excited interest, but patient expecta
tion, for tho invention of some sort of
contrivance that will enable a woman
to “keep a secret”—but it seeuis an
impossibility; for iH it not true, ns
said, that if three people are to keep
a secret, two of them must never know
it.
If asked tlie question—what has
become of the eloquence of tlie Georgia
bar, so grandly heard in Court trials
forty to fifty years ago—when juries
were transfixed like statues, and tlie
busy hum of court rooms quieted to
tlie placidity of a deatii chamber?—I
would answer; buried in.a Court for
Correction of Errors, supplemented
by increased, popular, intelligence,
and a revolution in the practice by
attorneys in tlie Courts below, wtio
now most often talk over mutters of
law with tlie judge, or matters of fact
with the jury like men of business as
they are, shunning all clap-trap argu
ment, figures, (lowers and the obso
lete embroidery of rhetoric.
Honors are not equally divided in
tliis land of tlie free and home of tin
brave. Men who amass immense
wealth, und fighters fresli from tlie
battle-field, their hands stained with
brothers’ blood, get all tiie monu
iiionts and most of tlie public prizes,
while the moral and scientific bene
factors get no memorial or material
mark of their country’s admiration
anil respect. A mail lives on 4iread
and water, condemned to labor for
life in tlie routine of mechanical, pro
fessional and business-like duties,
blesses liis posterity, enriches the
fame, enlarges and increases the
power of liis country, endures pover
ty heroically, dies of a broken heart
or broken health, is borne to a lowly
sepulchre by a few humble friends,
ami gets—a paragraph in tlie news
paper.
Politics has been defined to be tiie
Science of Government. If so then
Politics is u numerous headed mon
ster. In tlie early history of these
United States, when this science was
an experiment, and men most con
cerned to know if tlie American idea
was strong enough to live beyond the
iiiumiiiury period, there were some
honest opinions entertained and ex
pressed on tlie relative rights of peo
ples and governments. But to-day
the science of government in tiie
United States lias no national, or ev
en sectional, significance. At tlie
north, at the south, in tiie west, in
tlie different States of these sections,
and in different sections of individual
States, politics assumes the complex
ion of local interests; and all congrui
ty iN lost in so wide a diffusion of iirst
principles, so culled.
“Tlie paths of glory lead hut to the
grave.”
1 have read this oft quoted line,
from one of tlie finest poems in
tlie English language, a hundred
times, and never without an effort to
discover tlie source of tlie singular
merit ascribed to it. If the poet
meant by it (and 1 can see no other
significance it lias) that honor, fame,
riciies, and all virtuous effort to ac
quire those worldly tilings that can
only make life happy here, are all
vaiiity, because they lie in tlie paths
of glory that lead “but” to tlie grave,
then lie mukes no distinction between
virtue and vice, between an earthly
heaven ami an earthy hell. If the po
et did not intend to stiile every noble
and virtuous impulse of tlie human
lieart, and paralyze every hand out
stretched to reacli tlie great, tlie good,
tho useful of this world, then he has
used the word “but” in an unfortu
nate connection. Had he said, all tiie
paths men follow here, lead surely to
the grave, he would have stated only
wiiut was true, and for the saying it,
1 can see no reason to quote it so of
ten, or admire its force or beauty.
Instances of personal heroism, dur
ing tlie recent war between tlie States,
are many, and few are unrecited and
unrecorded; but there is not recount
ed an act of personal bravery, devo
tion und sulf-sacrilice, more surpass
ingly heroic than the death of Cap
tain Somers and his comrades in the
bay of Tripoli during a naval engage
ment in those waters, in tlie year 1804.
Commodore Preble determined to
send a fire ship into the harbor to de
stroy the enemy’s flotilla and bring
off the American prisoners. Captain
Somers volunteered for this hazard
ous servloe. Lioutenauts Wadsworth
and Israel, and ten seamen from the
Constitution and the Nautilus, com
posed tiie attacking force. One hun
dred barrels of gunpowder and one
hundred and fifty fixed shells were
B laced in the hold of Somers’ Intrepid.
e said, if his boat was captured he
would blow it up. Having gained
tlie inner harbor, she was boarded
and carried bv two gallies of one hun
dred men ouch. There was a sudden
explosion that was awful. Every bat
tery was silenced, and not a gun was
fired afterwards during the night. •
Somers hud fired tho mine, and he, his
comrades and captors found an in
stant and common death. Captain
Somers lias a number of lineal de
scendants in Georgia, who are proud
of their gallant kinsman.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Feb. 13, 1888.
Editors Union Recorder:
To use the words of the genial Sun
set Cox, “We are clearing the decks
for the tariff fight,” and Mr. Mills,,
chairman of tlie Ways and Means
Committee, and Democratic leader of
the House, expresses his belief that
tlie tariff bill will be reported for
consideration before Marcli 1. Chair
man Mills adds that tlie “newspaper
fellows” seoui to know a great deal
more about the measure than he
does.
d'lie House has passed the bill re
tiring from circulation the three cent
coin, which notion will doubtless
prove acceptable to many persons
who have been tlie victims of this
deceptive money, and it is hoped that
the Senate will do likewise.
Other matters of interest discussed
in the House tho past week, were tlie
Reading ruilroud strike, the alleged
inefficient mail service in the West,
aiul tiie publication of lottery adver
tisements in tlie Washington newspa
pers.
Messrs. Cox and Springer amused
tlie House with some animated dis
cussion over a private claim, in which
tho lutter made a rattier pointed und
pertinent reference to tlie influence-
of the lobbyists.
Speaker Carlisle lias had all of the
private wires removed from tiie capi-
tol, to tlie grief and disappointment
of several statesmen who hav# a
weakness for dealing in stocks.
The event of tlie week in tho Senate
was Riddleberger’s defiant expose of
tlie vote upon postponing action upon
tlie British extradition treaty until
next December. Senatorial dignity
was again rudely shocked, and the
Virginia Senator wus the recipient of
a stern rebuke from tile President
pro teuipore, the satirical Ingalls.
It is believed that tlie Republicans
really favor tiie British extradition
treaty, lint fearing tlie indignation
and resentment of the Irish vote, they
dared not pass such an unpopular bid
in a Presidential year. There was
some discussion of the Blair bill, but
it went over till Wednesday of this
week, when a vote will be taken. •
M r. Platt made a very flatulent ef
fort in his arraignment of the Presi
dent for liis late message. For a
while he was heard with respectful
patience and expectation of some
thing worthy of the subject, but his
attempt was “stale, flat aiul unprofit
able,” and a positive weariness to the
fiesh.
There was a debate in tlie Senate-
over tlie great accumulation and the
general worthlessness of tiie public
documents printed by tiie Govern
ment and distributed gratis through
the mail by Congressmen. The dis
cussion tended to develop tlie fact
that these documents are almost
worthless, even to junk-dealers. This
matter certainly offers a flue field for
tlie reformer. Every year thousands
of dollars are squandered in printing
and taking care of these books, which
nobody hardly ever reads.
It is apparent that there will soon
be unotlier light in tiie Senate similar
to the war waged on oleo-margarine
in the last Congress—this time on lard
adulterated with cotton seed oil and
other like substances. It was stated
before the Senate agricultural com
mittee, that only one firm now has
pure lard on tlie market.
There is a strong probability that
four new States will be admitted dur
ing the present session of Congress, as
the Democratic members of the House
and Senate Committee on Territories
have agreed to favorably report a bill
for the admission of New Mexico,
Montana, and the whole of Dakota.
It is thought that the Republicans
cannot consistently oppose the
scheme for political reasons, for
though New Mexico is Democratic,
Dakota is largely Republican, while
in the other two neither party has a
pronounced advantage. It is likely
that Dakota’s desire for division will
not be granted.
Neither House was in session on
Saturday, and many Congressmen,
including Speaker Carlisle, took ad
vantage of the opportunity to make
the rounds of the Departments.
Do not walk the lloor all night to
