A Few Thoughts.—Good Opinions.
fn reading the “Salmagundi" of
“Uucle Bob,” 1 liud short and teise 1
epigrams that are worthy of eh,born- :
tion; but few readers ever elaborate i
in their mind. Not one man out of a 1
hundred ever sit down to quiet di» :
gestive thought. Nine-tenths of iliel
knowledge of the world is second !
handed. Man is more or less a par
rot in repeating what has been
taught. It is just such minds who
fight new ideas, new thoughts, new
everything. Originality alarms them
like darkness children.
Never ask a man to review him-
selt or to revise his old ideas, opin
ions or convictions. It is a great
labor to think; it is real hard work.
But there are, let it be said to the
credit of some men and women, who
do dare to hear new ideas, opinons
creeds,etc.,and review tlieirold teach
ings it Is just such minds who give
to the world new thoughts. They who
repeat the teachings learned ut tin-
mother’s knee," or retail the knowl
edge picked up at school or college
has a callow brain. Originality comes
of thinking; thinkers must be orig
inal or nothing. Great readers gen
erally are not great thinkers, for
they are too busy in Ailing their own
minds with the thoughts of others;
they are the retailers, the echoes of
the thoughts of others. They are
known as full men, well read men,
great on authorities, and if blessed
with a good memory, can entertain
as »o what they have read.
The thinker will tell you, or you
will hear hitn say; “1 will tell you
what I think about that, this or the
other thing." The great reader will
say: “I will tell you what 1 have
read about it." But the man or wo
man uot given to thinking or read
ing, will say; “I know nothing about
it,’’ and perhaps mav add as many
do, “I don’t care to know anything
about it.” There you have the in
different mind, whose circumference
of thought is limited to something
to eat and wear; absorbed in money
making and nothing else, as if money
was a God to worship, aud ranked
intellect, integrity, virtue, the soul
and the immortality of man. Man
is uot a mere animal, as the book of
Eclesiastes decaies, Chap. 8: 18, 19,
20.
“As “Uncle Bob” wisely writes:
“A good opinion of one’s self makes
easygoing." True, very true. It is
the driving wheel to all success
life, to hII setiou, the nerve power to
meet all obstacles, and that self-
reliance which says: “I uiu some
thing of a man or wouiau myself ”
Such feelings suggest and create
thought, Egotism is offensive, for it
ever insults, belittles others, aud un
derra'e- the virtues, needs or doings
of others.
Self-reliance and self-conQdence
are all important in the make up of
a man or woman who intend to be
something and do something. Ego
tisui measures every one by self;
while self-reliance and self-confi
dence looks within, and gives cour
age, nerve and actioD. Napoleon
was a monumental egotist, while
Stonewall Jackson tied self-reliance
and self-confldence in an eminent de
gree. Neither doubted themselves
upon the battle iield, hence their
success.
To doubt one’s self, i« to lose half
the buttle of life; but when self-
confidence and reliance stands bv
one’s siae, such a uue can smile at
danger, and laugh at adversiti.
Like Antulas of old in his wrestling
with Hercules, he knew lie would rise
stronger for the fall if he but touched
the earth. Hercules, however, de
stroyed that support. Yes. a good
opinion of one’s self if nil important
in life, and parents should make it a
point to teach their children to have
a good opinion of themselves, if
ttiey would plant tlie seeds of char
acter in them to bring forth uood
fruit in life. R. M. O.

Washington Letter
Prom Our Regular Cormpuadeut.
Washington. Oct. 30. 1895.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Olney could not have secured a more
satisfactory state of affairs than the
expressions of prominent republican
newspapers and Congressmen have
brought about if they had personally
had charge of the arrangements
tlieiiis n lve.-. These republicans have
publicly put their party on reoord
and when President Cleveland sends
a special message to Congress, as he
will do shortly after it assembles,
setting forth the demands he? has
made upon Great Britain to recog
nize the Monroe dootrine, and ac
companying it with Great Britain’s
answers t hereto coneernlng its claims
in Venezuela, the republicans cannot
itbout stultifying themselves bold
up their hands in holy horror and
cry “jingoism!" They will be ttorn*
pelted to endorse the President’s po
sition, simply because tbeir previous
utterances will have left them noth
ing else to do.
There is Dotbing new in the diplo
matic complication with Great Bri
tain, but there is reason to believe
that there will he this week, as Great
Britain’s answer to Seoietary Olney’s
last dispatch, stating the position of
this government aud its intention to
stand by the Monroe doctrine, Is
daitv expected. Upon the nature of
this answer the next move of this
government will depend. Although
a speciUo answer was asked for it is
regarded as probable that it will not
be received. Even had Great Bri
tain fully determined a week &'!0 to
positivelv deny the light of the
United States to interfere under the
Monroe doctrine with its affairs in
Venezuela it would not do so now.
The deal that Russia has made with
China has given Great Britain some
thing mor- important to do than to
quarrel *ith this country. British
commercial supremacy is at stake in
tire East and for that reason it is be
lieved that tile answer will be a dip
lomatic one that will leave the quae
tion oneu until John Bull has more
time to give to it
the slightest doubt of file state re
maining in the democratic column..
The republican trick of trying »o per
suade democrats to vote for the re
publican candidate for Governor anil
the rest of the democratic state*
ticket is too transparent to oatobi
many votes.
The nearer the opening of the ses
sion of Congress gets, the more ap
parent it. becomes that the Agufc
which a number of republican mem
bers are making for the chairman
ships of the most important commit
tees may develop some rather dan
gerous obstacles in the path ot the*
Reed Presidential boom.
B00MARANG THROWERS.
They Give an Exhibition ok Their
Peculiar Skill.
The Australian boomerang throw
ers, who have been in this city form
couple of week® waiting for good
weather so as to give a performance,
gave an exhibition of their skill on
the vacant- lot at First and E street*
at 11 ojelock this morning. A Dau
ber of newspaper men and other*
were present by invitatiou of tbn-
proprietors. Three of the oannibalw
took part in the exhibition.
The performance justified all that,
has been said of the wondertul skill*
of the bushmen with the ordinary t
looking curved sticks. King Bill took
a boomerang by the small end and*
threw it out with iricat force at au
angle of about foriy-Hve degrees. It
rose to a height of probably sixty
feet with a sharp cutting noise, and
maintaining its elevation, described,
a circle of ithouf 200 feet in diameter-.
When it had reached a point almost
above the thrower it gently descend
ed to within twenty feet of the-
ground nnd continued its Aight at
that distance above the ground fox*
about 75 feet iu front of the thrower.
It then stopped its forward mo'.ioifc.

The death of Mr. Henry Jones,
which occurred ia Washington last
Tuesday, was heard witii sorrow
throughout this state. No man in
Georgia, and few in America, posses
sed a mind so well etored with eco
nomic facts. For many years lie was
private secretary to Senator Colouitt
and subsequently to Senator Wulsli.
Mr. Jones was possessed of a re
markable memory and was a fluent
and interesting talker, and an in
structive and entertaining newspa
per correspondent. He was about
iifty-two years of age. He was a na
tive of Maine but came to Georgia
oarly in life anil engaged in journal
ism. He leaves one daughter who

sou and Quay had made friends and
that the latter is going to take
etiarge of the former’s boom found no
believers in Washington, but it
served to briug out several good, if
not new stories, concerning similar
reports in the past. Lots of people
remember that during the latter part
of the campaign in 1892, at about
the time the Harrison ticket struck
tlie toboggan slide, Boss Quay weut
to New York, and tne papers were
full of stories about his having be
come reconciled with Harrlsou and
going to succeed Carter, who nad as
chairman of the Republican National
Committee made a mess of the cam
paign so far as his own party was
concerned. Col. McClure, editor of
the Philadelphia Times, met Quay iu
New York, aud being an old personal
friend asked hitu in confidence
whether there was any truth in the
story. Quay replied: “Not a word.
I’ll tell you why I’m in New York.
1 heard that Gore might be some
danger of Harrison’s election, anil I
merely ran up here to test the truth
of the slorv irom tile appearance of
tilings. IJloil that Harrison stands
no more show of election than a
snow-nird. That relieves me. I’ll
now return to Pennsylvania and at
tend to re-eleutiug Matt Quay Sen
ator ”
Mr. Benjamin Harrison has not
given up hope of getting that nom
ination again, notwithstanding the.
opposition o* Quay, Platt and other
republican bosses. This lius been
made very plain to those who know
tlie inside truck. When a number of
tlie Republican National Committee
met in New York City last week, to
decide upon tlie date for the commit
tee meeting which will determine the
time and place for holding the Na
tional Convent.on of the party, Mr.
Harrison had a confidential repre
sentative ou tile ground—he is re
ported to entertain doubts of Chair
man Carter’s friendship for him:
others are certain that Carter (ms
joined tlie combine against him—in
