"Haywood” was a grand place- full

Boms people can’t see why Geo.
Henry B. Jackson, should want the
Mexican mission— only a third class
affair. Perhaps these folks don’t
know that General Jackson helped
General Boott and General Taylor to
thrash out Mexico once, and that it is
natural that he should feel curious
to go and see hoW it looks since their
thunder struck it.

Pbbsipknt Cleveland Is said to
have an invincible repugnance to
office seekers who bring or send peti
tions. In a recent (Conversation he
spoke of the cheap character of such
recommendations, and expressed
himself as satisfied that he could pick
out the proper men for appointment
to office by a different and a far bet
ter method of choosing. W herefore,
it is suggested that men who have
such documents and expect to use
them, may as well remember that the
white house waste basket is large and
yawning.
Ova independant republican friends
—George Win. Curtis and company,
are moving all the bottom sills they
can lift to bear upon Mr. Cleveland
to secure the reappointment of Mr.
Pearson to the New York postofflee.
Mr. Pearson’s commission expires in
a few days, and a change will have to
be made unless tie is reappointed.
What will the president do? What
can he do, but to let him retire? Gen
eral Grant was retired —why not Mr.
Pearsons. To be stiure General
Grant was retired on full pay, out
Mr. Pearson can retire without that.
Yes, let Mr. Pearson go. He te
doubtless a nice man and a good
officer, but the country is full
of the tight material.
Thb proposed visit of the prince
and princess of Wales to Ireland Is
creating more of a stir in Ireland
than to us seems meet. The violent
Irish politicians want to cut, if not to
rudely humiliate their visitors in
various ways—by closing houses and
giving them deserted streets to puss
through—to offer them no addressee
of welcome, to take no political or
■octal notice of their visit, etc., all of
which seems unkind and unwise to
the average looker-on. The man
does not live who will see Ireland
otherwise than an appendage to
Great Britain; therefore it soem to
us more proper that the leaders ot
that unfortunate country should
make the condition of their followers
■s comfortable as possible, rather
than to keep them in a life-long and
fruitless contest that can only in
crease their own discomforts. The
leaders are comfortable enough.
They have, or.get in one way or an
other, ample means to live as tm-y
choose—but not so with the poor
workers of the soil; their condition
may be deplored, and often is, but It
will never be made less so by the vio
lence which they are encouraged to
Indulge in against the authority, or
the dignitaries of the government of
Bag and. The prince of Wales is
the coming man ot England, and
through him Irelend may have many
rights in the future, that she can
never get by her agitations.
New England Girls.
Ban Yranclsoo Bulletin.
It is not true, as I bad always ig
norantly believed, that all the girls
in Boston wear glasses and go about
with volumes of Euripides and Spi
noza in their hands. Glasses are
quite out, and only those whom
short-sightedness compels, west
them. They are the sweetest, dain
tiest damsels on earth, these Puritan
maidens. Their color ie as delicate
as an arbutus blossom, and with the
incoming fashions of health they are
growing stronger and more elastic.
I have tn mind a young woman
whom I had often seen and admired,
without knowing who she was—a
clear-eyed, finely fibred creature,
simple, serious and sincere, with
girlish grace and woman dignity
combined. 1 was not at all
surprised to learn that she
was a high school teacher of
Greek and Latin, though she might
easily be the centre of distinctively
social life, or the inspiration of a
poem. The new England girl ie a
charming type, and it Is a mystery to
me that so many yankee youths who
go west should forget those lovely
girls and bind their faith to the young
women of Ohio, Minnesota and Ore
gon. I suppose it ie part of the law
of progress, but it is as inscrutable as
when a northerner ceases to care for
the “first fine flavor ot the frost,’’or
a southerner ceases to enjoy the rush
of an ice-laden wind. I love my pines
among the Bierras, that stand up
strong and tall and dauntless, while
the wild flowers never forget to smile
below tuem. But I look from my
window now up >n the spreading
branches of these low pines and re
joloe in them, glad that it was a west
ern poet who said:
They shouldered their snow in al.enoe and
stood before the Lord.

i HB TKNtU OV OBVICV. ACT.
The tenure oftffiiea'tt. «'> oft -n
referred to by President Cleveland,
wu passed in 1867 and 1869 and pro
vides tbut:
“Every person holding anv civil of
fice to which be has been or heresf
'< r may be appointed bv tnd wl'h
the advice and consent of th*' eenat-*,
and who shall have bee >me duly
qualified to act therein, shall been
titled to hold such office during the
term for which he was appointed un
less sooner removed by and with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
by the appointment, with the like
advice and consent of a successor in
his place, except as herein otherwise
provided.”
During the sena'e recese, the pn-si
dent may suspend any civil < fitter
except judges of the courts, until the
next, s -Halon oft.be senate and ap
point eomo one In the place. He can
a so fill va ‘ancles,tduring.the recess,
however occurring.
The law then provides:
”11 uo appointment, by and with
the advice and cons' nt of the senate,
ie made to a-, <ffi» so Viciutor
temporarily filled during the nex'
session of the senate the offl :e shall
rernasu in abeyance, without any
saiarieß.fees or emoluments attached
thereto, until it is filled by app Int
ment thereto by and with the advice
and consent of the senate; ami dur
ing such time all the powers and du
ties belonging to such office shall be
exercised by euch otbea officer as may
by law exercise euch powers and du
ties in case ot a vacancy in such
office.”
The Hartford Times, referring to
these matters, after quoting the puni
tive clauses of the law, adds:
“President Cleveland made pledges
previous to his election to abide by
this office of tenure act. Reports now
come from Washington that there is
dissatisfaction among the applicants
for office on account of the presi
dent's refusal to make removals and
appointments. He says now, as
he said in his letter of accept
ance and other public papers that be
shan regard the civil service rules
and the laws on which they are
based; but that when commissions
expire be shall attend to each cm*e
and make proper|appointmeuts. We
do not doubt that in euch cusses he
wid appoint, democrats in order to
equaliz■ between parties the offlea
holdlng citizens. Why should there
be any complaint by democrats on
this account; or why anyone should
oppose or assail the president on ac
count of his course, wo are unable to
understand. President Cleveland 1s
a very Hr n and truthful man. That
be will oarry out his pledgee we do
not doubt.
We have no doubt that jttie presi
dent will adhere to the whole civil
service reform system, as he under
stands it, and move slowly anti cau
tiously, He will make bls adminls'
tratlon democratic, but by slow
graduations. Patience Is au oppor
tune virtue to practice just now.”
Habersham’* Hurrahs.
A short time ago we mentioned the
robbery ot some records at Toccoa,
in Habersham county. The Athens
B inner thus relates what came of it:
••'The superior court of Habersham
county closed its session on Friday,
and from all accounts it has been a
very eventful one. Groves, the ordi
nary ot the county, was tried for mal
practice in office, anil after a lengthy
trial, the jury br >u«ht in a verdict of
guilty. The evidence ot several
witnesses was very damaging not
inly to Groves, but to other parties.
Hr ivee will apply for a new trial.
The evidence about the robbery of
the safe in the ordmarv’s office,
which was given in before the gran I
jury, nas at last leaked out. It seems
tnat Fuller, of th it county, has a
true bill against him for the same
offense that Gioves, the ordinary, is
charged with. Fuller is the uncle of
Ben Martin, the man who turned
state’s evidence. Groves came to
Martin and told bi u that if certain
books and papers were taken from
the srfe in the ordinary’s office, that
I would be impossible to convit
Fuller, an I prop tied to Martin that
he should get tL books, and on a
certain night the site would be un
locked ; that he could, after getting
charge of the books, etc., break the
knob off of the safe and otherwise
mutilate it. Martin at once went
into the trap, thinking to clear hie
uncle, who raised him, of a serious
charge.
Th • sate wssaceordihgiy left oi en.
Mui tin went in, got the records sod
batter- d up tire side, and next morn
ing the good people of Clarksville
were notified that the courthouse bad
been burglar z -d. Suspicion rested
on several, but it was never definite
ly settled who did the work until
Martin camo before the grand jury
and made a c ean breast of ibe wnole
transaction. The reason Martin
gives tor turning state’s evidence is
that the books and records taken
from the safe did not Implicate bis
uncle. Fisher, in the least, but put it
maimy on Groves, who had pur up
the job for his own benefit. There
are several others (but true bills have
been found against, but the only
charge against them 1s that they
traded for some ot the stolen orders,
knowing them to b ive been stolen.
Nearly ail the legal talent ot Athens,
Gainesville and Clarkesville have
been employed by the defense or the
state.
>
A Tomb Cpened by a Tree.
Hanover Letter tn th > Beitlmore Bun.
Very near where we live in the an
cient Garten Unurcb, in a large
cemetery. In this cametery is a most
curious monument. A lady died and
report says that she was poisoned by
hernepuew. Upon one of the stones
which marks her grave is au inscrip
tion declaining tnat “this grave
should not be opened till eternity.”
Now nature would not allow herself
to be thus defled, and a very large
tree has grown up from the centre of
the grave and forced every stone out
ot its proper place. Three immense
blocks ot granite,fastened together by
the strongest iron clatnps.for thefoun
datiou, upon which rest tnree other
blocks, surmounted by a single block,
over which is carved a stone pall.
The tree’s roots have risen up from
under the stones and formed long
o laws, which seem nstinct with lite
a nd grasp the stones as it with a
cxeatn- like grip, bursting every clamp
and twisting the stones and turning
them on one side and auotner in a
most curious aud wonderful manner.
A most curious feature, too, is the
fact that there is not another tree ot
this kind in the cemetery and not
even in the whole town.
Here Goethe’s Lotta ie hurried.
Her grandson lives in Hanover and
is a wealthy bachelor. He proposes
to erect a suitable building in which
to place bis valuable collection of
curios and then present them to the
town.
