WHAT KINO OF DEMOCRATS?
Curious things often happen in
this would, and men are told to ;be
surprised at nothing, but sometimes
the absolutely unaccountable comes
to pass add people are compelled to
stand by in complete ignorance of
what could have brought it about,
We are somewhat in this condition
today.
Ou July 1st the postoffice changes
hands and goes under a Democratic
administration. Under the civil ser
vices rules the applicants for posi
tions of carriers, cleiks, and mensem*
gers must stand the regular txami<
* nations and be declared eligible to
the offices. But the postmaster has
the right to take the list of all de
clared ss eligible and' from it select
these be wishes to fill the place.
Now quite a number of worthy
young white men are applying for
these pcsilions and if they pass the
examinations will stand a chance at
appointment by Postmaster O’Far*
rail. Along with them the negroes
now holding the positions of carriers
and messengers will stand their ex
aminations and make an effort for
success.
Now what do

If Hon. W. Y. Atkinson wants the

state, the President should give it to

Mr . Cleveland seems to consider and
correotly so, that Georgia was in a
measure the key to the situation that
secured his nomination, and she also
cot a figure in his election, and Mr.
Atkinson as the head of bis party in
that campaign, to entitled to generous
and prompt n cognition, and there is
nothing in the gift of the administra
tion too good for him.

Oh. not mon subtly silence strays
Amongst the winds, between the voices.
Mingling alike with pensive lays
And with the music that rejoice^
Than thou an present in my days.
My silence, life returns to thee
In all the pauses of her breath;
Hush back to rest the melody
That out of thee awakeneth.
And then wake ever, wake tor me.
Full, (oil Is life in hidden places.
For thon art silence unto me.
Full, full is thought in endless spaces.
Foil is my life. A silent sea
Lies round all shores with long embraces.
Thou art like silence aU un vexed.
Though wild words part my son] from
them
Thou art like silence unperplexed,
A secret and a mystery
Between one footfall and the next.
Most dear pause in a mellow lay.
Thou art inwoven with every sir;
With thee the wildest tempests play.
And snatches of thee everywhere
Make little heavens throughout a day.
Darkness and solitude shine for me.
For life’s fair outward part are rife
The silver noises; let them be.
It is the very soul of life
Listens for thee, listens for thee.
Oh, pause between the sobs of cares!
Oh, thought within all thought that Is,
Trance between laughters unawaresl
Thou art the form of melodies,
And thou the ecstasy of prayers. .

ROMANCE OF THE WAE
you suppose has
happened in the last week in Athens
on this subject? It makes our Deo
mocratic blood boil when we tell it,
but we tell it and give it the un
measured condemnation it deserves.
Citizens of Athens, white people,
have highly recommended the negro
carriers to Postmaster O’Farrell and
while not asking their, retention
have certainly conveyed the impres
sion that Bnch was their desire. One
or two of them asked the retention
of the negrOes. It i» -said
that a petition is going the rounds
and has been signed by several
white men of Athens^ some of them
men of prominence, askirg the reten
tion of the negroes.
We want to say right here that if
the Bahhxb can get hold of the
names of these parties they will
surely fce put into print, that the
loyal Democracy of Clarke county
and the eighth district may know
who ttiey are. The people would be
delighted to know who in this com
munity champions the cause of the
Bepublican negro against the De
mocratic white man and they shall
know it if the names can be se
cured.
Democrats, indeed! What kind
of Democrats? Those who prate
most of their loyalty to the party and
do less when it comes to hard, solid
work; those who thick they kpow
everything about Democracy and are
not even versed in its first princi
ples.
It is needless to say that Post
master O’Farrell knows what he is
about. He is a Democrat of no un
certain stripe. The requests and
the petitions of our mugwump citi
zens will no doubt be courteously
received and quietly consigned to
oblivion and the waste-basket.
If enough of our worthy young
white men pass the civil seivice ex
amination, and that goes without
saying, the citizens of Athens may
rest assured that the mail carriers
during the next four years will not
be negroes.
AU this despite the terrific efforts
of certain Athens white men and
Pemocral*{?)
In Georgia Sanctums.
The GreeneBboro Herald - Journal
say a: “The oolt shows we had a few
years ago stimulated interest in stock
raising, and beneficial result followed.
We shon’.d re-inaugnrate these shows,
and urge the farmers to the raising of
more colts and cattle. This is an ad
junct of the farm which pays a big cash
revenue.”
The Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise pays
a merited compliment as follows:
“Dick Grubb, of tbe Darien Gaz-tte, is
the best paragiaphist on the Georgia
press. There is pith and point in every
one of his “three liners.”
Augusta Chronicle: It is generally
agreed among Presbyterians connected
with the Brigg* c ise that the expenses

the general assembly disposed of it last
week amounted to about (50,000. Sal

The Macon Evening News suggests a
national flower in the following man
ner. It says: “In casting about for
a flower for the national emblem it is
strange that no one has thought of the
orange blossom which is so emblematic
of Union.”
The Savannah News says so far two
cars of melons have been shipped from
Florida and two from Georgia. Up to
the same date last year ten cars bad
been shipped from both Georgia and
Florida.
The Maoon Evening News pays Gov.
TiUman the .following left handed com
pliment. It says: “Gov. Tillman, of
aontb Carolina, has purchased a ton
of corks for the State dispensary. • In
fact Goy, Tillman may be said to be a
corker.”
Tbe Macon Telegraph in commenting
on the terrible aocident at Washington
says: “In Ford’s theatre Mr. Lincoln
was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth,
it beoame the storehouse of the hospital
records of the war, and now on the day
that Edwin Booth to being buried, it
tumbles in upon its hundreds of occu
pants. Truly it to a house with tragic
associations.”
The Atlanta Herald to red hot for an
early extra session. It says: “If
congress means to make any change
and to put into effect the Democratic
platform, we fail to see the benefits of
delay. When business to in a bad way,
the sooner the evil influences are re
moved, the better. When a man to
sick be sends for a doctor, instanter.
He doesn’t wait until the next year.
Every week the poisonous effect of
existiog legislation to spreading
throughout the body of a robust ooun-
try.and while the oountry can stand it
for a few months longer,' there to no
reason in foroing business to stand it.
The battle at last was finished. The
victory was lost and won. And while
the defeated army had fallen back to
take shelter in the woods and mountain
passes the victorious host had en
camped upon the field of action. A thick
misty haze hang over the landscape,
throng!^ which the setting sun shone
like a great copper shield burnished and
ready for combat.
Since early morn the battle had been
in progress, and the carnage was fright
ful. Even the sturdiest of the surgeons
had more than once turned pale as they
worked over their improvised operating
tables, and all had felt a sensation of
faintness that they did not care to own.
In one corner of the field when the
fight had been the hottest, in a little
grove of half' a dozen trees at the angle
of a stonewall, knelt the colonel of a
New York regiment beside the prostrate
form of his own lieutenant, a young
man of English birth and -a great fa
vorite among his comrades. His breath
came slowly and painfully, and when he
strove to speak the lifeblood welled up in
his throat so as to almost choke all utter
ance.
“Creston, my boy,” Said the colonel in
the low voice which he always used when
in the presr-ce of suffering—for the col
onel was as kind and as gentle asa woman
to the sick—“is there anything more
that I can do for you—any word or mes
sage that you want to send? For yon
know” ''
Creston’s lips parted with a faint and
almost imperceptible motion, and the
colonel bending low canght the words,
“Lift—me—up.”
Raising the dying man to a half sit
ting position, the colonel held him in his
own strong arms and gently wiped the
red froth from his lips.
“Colonel”—the words were weak and
low—“my vest—open—the—the—pocket
-inside”-
The exertion waa bo great that he could
say no more. The colonel, opening the
vest, drew from an inner pocket a min
iature, the portrait of a yonng and
beautiful girl, so beautiful that even
then the colonel conld not help gazing
upon the likeness with interest and ad
miration.
“And this?” he questioned as he held
it up to the eyes of his dying comrade.
The pale face of the sufferer grew
strangely bright when he looked upon
the bit of painted ivory before him.
In England,” he whispered, “she
lives—Densmond in Devonshire—you’ll
remember—take her this, yourself—no
one else, ifcid here in Densmond, Ame
lia Burton. Tell her—I didn’t—forget”
A torrent of crimson lifeblood gughed
from his lips, and all was over. The
colonel arose, folded a blanket and placed
it beneath the head of the corpse. Then

will be no such "person here after to
night.”
“She—she is not sick—not dying, to
she?” questioned the colonel hastily.
“Oh, not at all.” answered the yonng
lady, with a pleasant laugh, “only she’s
going to be married to Lord Littel to
night"
“Married?” said the colonel, half to
himself; then aloud: “Can yon tell me
where she lives? I most see her upon
business—something very important”
“It’s not very far from here. The house
in the park' that you see on the left be
longs to her father. But you must hur
ry. W» after <5:30, and you’ve scarce an
hour."
Colonel Pember turned and walked
hastily along the road. “Married—mar
ried—then I am too late. Perhaps not
I don’t understand it 1 can’t” And
with every step he took came the re
frain," Married, married, married.”
The next day Densmond was all ex
citement The daughter of the Hon.
Crofton Burton had refused at the last
moment to marry Lord Lorloose Littel. I
And then, too, the appearance of this
suspicions looking American. That most
nob be overlooked. Sorely there was
something in this, “if those as knew
would tell.” Bnt the Hon. Burton, id.
P., would tell nothing, and as Lord Lit
tel had left for town that morning he
could tell nothing, and Miss Barton, she
hhd declared tliat she would tell noth
ing. So there the matter tested, and
like every other sensation was almost
forgotten 10 days after.
Almost, I say, for Colonel Pember had
taken lodgings at the Pot and Kettle,
and scarcely a day passed bnt he made
his way to The Oaks, the residence of
Mr. Burton, who seemed to have a great
fancy for his company.
Nor was it long in becoming common
talk that tbe colonel had returned to
Miss Burton on the eve of her intended
wedding a blood stained miniature, the
token of a schoolgirl love that she had
given to Herbert Creston, the village
ne’er do well, and that as she saw the
picture, stained with his lifeblood, the
old love had retnrned, attd she had re
fused to marry any one else.
So passed a year, and again summer
visited the little village, sprinkling the
lawns with yellow dandelions and the
hedges with all manner of sweetness.
From the many farmyards came the
sonnds of cattle and of fowls npon the
clear and silent air, mingled'with the
distant dashing of brooks. The trees,
resplendent in their “garments of green,’
cast grateful shadows for the noonday
wanderer. And then the gardensl Roses
everywhere. The air waa one mass of
perfume, delightful and overpowering,
the first sweet gift of summer.
During this time Miss Burton had not
been seen by the village folk, save on one
or two rare occasions, and those who had
viewed her reported that she was looking
pale and sickly, and that she scarcely ever
spoke. Now, however, at the approach
of summer she had thrown off her
gloomy aspect, laid aside the “inky
cloak” that she had insisted upon wear
ing and had even gone so far as to ride
out into the country, and always with
the colonel as a companion.
One night they walked together in the
gardens that almost entirely surrounded
The Oaks. There was no other light than
that of {he stars. As Amelia paused the
colonel placed his arm about her and
held her hand.
“You have my answer?" he questioned
softly.
She raised her face slowly. Their lips
met
“It is ‘yesr ” he asked.
And she answered “Yes.”
DARING TO OPPOSE WRONG.
I have seen many a lime on the seashore
bits of driftwood teased hither and thither
the helpbas sport of the waves. I have
seen oo the same shore the black rock
standing there unmoved, un shaken—op
posing itself to all the might and force of
tbe waves which fumed and seethed
around it and dashed themselves iu wild
and savage fury against iL To be real
men we must be not like tbe driftwood-
driven about by every passing wave of
opinior; we must be like tbe rock—able
to resist and oppose the full force of tbe
world’s fashion and custom. This will
not be easy. The world has never loved,
singularity. L iyalty to convictioo, cour
age to aay “No” to the demacds made by
fashion and custom, will ehiail upon you
scorn, hardship hate. The way of life is
still the narrow path. But l have yet to
learn that difficulties can daunt the young
and ardent soul. Garibaldi conld only
promise his ragged soldiers Biff ring
wounds, and perhaps death if they follow
ed him into Italy, and y. t they responded
to his call, and raid, ‘‘General, we .re the

who have any love or enthusiasm for truth

Already tbe son was casting long shad
ows over the landscape around the pretty
English village of Densmond in Devon
shire, for Densmond was pretty and
everybody said so—that is, everybody
who had ever been there said so. And
as for those unfortunate beings who had
not been there, they were so very much
in the minority that no one ever cared a
straw what they said or thought
Tbe day had been hot and sulpry, and
with the advent of the cooling breezes
of evening every one who conld pos
sibly get oat of doors did so, for the air
was delicious now after the overpower
ing heat of the day.
Along the dusty highway a man, well
dressed and evidently a stranger in the
country through which he waa passing,
was walking slowly, evidently absorbed
in thought He was abont 40 * of a
bronzed complexion and dark hair, now
slightly tinged with gray. On the whole
he was far from handsome, nor did the
scar of a saber wound across his fore
head add to his attractions. -
Just now he paused before a cottage
that stood somewhat back from the pub
lic road, almost buried in flowers, like a
modest and retiring cottage that it was.
Sounds of happy laughter came from an
arbor, concealed by the surrounding
hedge. Colonel Nathaniel Pember paused
bnt a moment, however, before he opened
the gate.
“Can yon tell me,” he asked one of the
party of yonng girls that met his view
as he entered, “if you know of any one

But I learned something the other day
which neither 1 nor any one else ever
knew before. I was eating breakfast
with a chance acquaintance I had picked
up on tho cars, and he called for some
crushed sugar, Objecting to white lamp
because, as he assured me confidential
ly, it was all made from glucose, which
was nothing else but animal refuse.
“I explained to him that he was quite
right in his ideas excepting in two re
spects, one of which was that white
lamp was not made from glucose and
the other that glucose was a product of
corn and not of animal refuse. He
seemed rather to resent the information
at first, and as he proceeded to destroy
the flavor of his .coffee by the use of
some very dark sugar which was little
more or less than glucose itself he told
me that he had the information from an
authentic source, and that he cpuld not
be persuaded to ruin his internal organs
at the request of the first stranger he
happened to meet.”—St Louis Globe-
