such Treasury notes, the Secretary
of the Treasury may, at bis discretion,
pay off such notes with silver bullion,

it has been the inconcealed purpose
of the Canadian government to se
cure a railroad across the continent
of commanding influence which in
connection with subsidized steamer
lines, would be able to dominate the
transcontinental commerce of the
United States and deflect from Amer

large share of our commerce with
countries of Asia, Australia and New
Zenlaud. In this endeavor it has met
with marked success and is progress

Canada subsidises two lines of
steamers from Vancouver, the west

with $425,000; and one line from St.

must drive the American steamer
lines out of the China trade, to the

GEN. Al.KXAN 1>KR DDKS NOT TALK.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, president of
the Central railroad, has been almost
making his headquarters in New York
the past two weeks, and after spend
ing one day in Savannah left again
last night for the North.
A Morning News reporter sought to
interview Gen. Alexander yesterday
afternoon, hut the general said that
he had nothing new to communicate.
To the pointed auestion as to
whether the projecting lines of rail
way to Savannah are having any
thing to do with his Northern trips,
Geu. Alexander, said they have not.
It. is understood, however, that his
errands are closely connected with ti
nnncial negotiations pending in New
York, and it is believed that the ex
tension of the Central’s lines into
Southern Alabama and an increase
in the ocean steamship fleet are en
terprises which only await successful
financial negotiations.

Alexander left for New York last
night, although some of the Milledge

success of both of these important
railroad enterprises.
The directors of the Savannah con

and it is understood the meeting will

We do not know who originated
these precious jewels, but we give
them a send off to do all the good they
can;
It is not sufficient to expound to the
rising generation principles of integri
ty and enforce them by weighty argu
ments; we must also nourish the germs
of benevolence in their hearts, and
cultivate the aptitude for reading and
interpreting the feelings of others,
and the power of participating In
their pleasures and pains.
It takes time and patience and effort
almost unspeakable to accomplish any
great work. This is impressed upon
us by proverb; “The inushropui Is
soon ripe and soon decayed.” “The
oak is the vegetable longest growing.”
‘The flower that is longest in the bud

Great men are always exceptional
men, and greatness itself is but com
parative. Indeed, the range of most
men in life is so limited that very few
have the opportunity of being great;
but each man can act ills part honest

Ilia ability. He can use his gifts and
not abuse them. He can strive to make
the best of life.

His Pen Was Never Dipped in Gall.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Forty years ago to-day Henry Grady
first saw the light. It was In Athens
this event cauie off, which afterwards
proved so ausploious to Georgia. Ap
ril 24, 1850, is the date given by Editor
J. C. Harris in bis sketch of the great
Georgia editor. Many good and true
things have been written of Grady
but his biographer prints one of best
and truest when he says: “The great
point about this man was that he
never bore malice. His heart was too
tender and his nature too generous.
The small jealousies and rivalries and
envies that appertain to life, and in
deed are a part of it, never touched
him in the slightest degree.” This is
the fact. Grady’s pen was never dip
ped in gall. His controversies was al
ways good natured, and many a time
he turned the bitterness of au adver
sary by the soft answer which came
from a noble heart.
Happy Hooaiers-
Win. Timmons. Postmaster of Idavllle,
lad., writes: “Electric Bitters has done
more for me than all other medicines
combined, for that bad reeling arising from
Kidney and Liver trouble.” John Leslie
farmer and stockman, of same place says;
“Find Electric Bittdrs to be the best Kid
ney and Liver medicine, made mo feel like
a now man.” J. W. Gardner, hardware
merchant, same town,says: “Electric Bit

or dies; he found new strength, good ap
petite and felt like he bad a new Tease on

In his softer moods General Sher
man says many good tilings.
At a recent banquet the stern vet
eran yielded to the festive influenceof
the occasion, and made himself an
apostle of sweetness and light. Said
the grizzled warrior to his comrades:
“And now my friends, I know that
like all other bodies of men you wisli
to make the world ns good as your
selves. which is very natural, right
and proper. But the first way to re
form the community is to reform your
selves. You have to take the world as
it is. It is n good world. It is the
best we have now. 1 don’t see any
who are anxious to depart from it.
Of those who are gone we sing their
praises aloud. They don’t hear them.
I am willing to have a little during
illV life."
Strange talk to come from a mar.
who In a civilized age declared that
war was the science of barbarism. and
then proceeded to conduct his cam
paigns with the ruthless brutality of
a barbarian. But times change and
men change with them. General
Hhertnan has an unfortunate temper.
There are times wheti he uses rough
words and does injustice to liimselt
and to others. He is not, however,
altogether a man of blood and iron.
There ure times when we see a gleam
of sunshine moments when the old
man shows that lie Ims a heart some-
where, perhaps difficult to get at and
touch, hut slili a human heart yearn
ing for something that will make the
world better and brighter.
A hitter enemy and a cruel lighter—
all this the old soldier has been, but
his former foemen will not grudge him
the peaceful ending of his stormy life.
