The editor of this paper is thank¬ ful for tho courtesies and kind words received the past week from true and tried friends. Wo acknowledge our faults, but tho writer is generally found bustling for the interest of his j county, and should not be judged too harshly. The Albany Herald strongly on dorses lion. 0. B Stevens of Terrell for commissioner of agriculture. Tbe Herald is on the right truck this time, if some people do say that it is trying to “hedge” its work of 1802. If Mr. Stevens aspires to s ml office he has a strong supporter in the Herald and the Monitor. Tho Monitor does not like to stick its noes into other people’s business, but it is satisfied that it would bo to the interest of several of onr citizens to run their land off into town lots and sell them at reasonable prices, build houses and rent them at reasonable figures, and thereby in¬ duce good citizens and make onr town what it should be. At least fifty neat, comfortable dwellings ought to go tip in Morgan within tho | I next, six months. I i Charles A.

Slight changes for the bettor have occurred several ] times, inspiring' faint hopes that perhaps the patient would bo spared, but it be¬ came evident Thursday night that the eml was very near. lie lingered until the hoar stated above, when death came and ended his suffering. 11 is funeral will occur in Newloti at 3 o'clock this Afternoon, and a number of persons from Albany will attend. Mr. Norris tva-i a young man, not hav¬ ing Attained Ids mujoiity. He was tho idol of his parents' hearts, numbered his friends by the hundred, and his future was roseate with bright promise.

LOWELL. Called tlir Moat Human M*tn In the An- tiniAvery Struggle, The world, says Woodrow Wilson in Atlantic, is apt to esteem that man IIj t human who lias his qualities in a certain exaggeration, whose courage ;s ■ a—innate, who-e generosity is without Mio ration, whose just action is with- toward "its favorite ohjrats withHm'lm tedious end reckless ardor, whose wis- non, is no child of slow pro deuce. We Jove Achilles more than Diomedes, and Uiy>Ei >: not at all. But thew are fit and- ards Jolt over from a ruder state; of so- ril ty. We should have passed by this KKKSSK 2 have erected different standards and do m vUc a different choice when we see in a.! , i.i.iii u Uiuicut o our rea Let a modern instance serve as test gggggg ca) ,?• tree d, toilers , who , pr made , emancipation , . po-mblc, uud not the hot, impracticable abolitionists; that the country was in- finitely more moved by Lincoln’s tem¬ perate sagacity than by any man’s en¬ thusiasm, instinctively trusted the man who saw tlm whole situation and kept his balance, and instinctively held off from those who refused to see more than one tiling? Wo know how serviceable the intense and headlong agitator was in .bringing to their feet men fit for action, hut we fed uneasy while lie lives and vouch¬ safe him our full sympathy only when he is dead. We know that the genial forces of nature which work daily, equably and without violence are in¬ finitely more serviceable, infinitely more admirable, than the rudn violence of the storm, however necessary or ex¬ cellent the purification it may have wrought. Should we seek to name the most human man among tlioso who led the nation to its struggle with slavery, and yet was no statesman, wo should of course name Lowell. Wo know that his humor went further than any man’s passion toward setting toleraut, men a-t,ingle with the new impulses of tho day. Wo naturally hold back from those who are intemperate and can never stop to smile and are deeply re¬ assured to see a twinkle in a reformer’s eye. We are glad to sc.o earnest men laugh. It breaks tho strain. The I’nflhl Tlazoult*. The bashi bazouks ivre to the Turk¬ ish army wliat the Cossacks are to the Russian. The Cossacks are, however, immeasurably tlieir superiors in all that goes to make the soldier. Bashi bazouks are almost without discipline. Their courage is that of the wild beast seek¬ ing its prey, and once on the warpath they are merciless. It was the bashi bazouks who by their monstrous cruel¬ ties gave such point to the pen and tongue of Mr. Gladstone at the time of the “Bulgarian atrocities. ’’ Bashi ba- znmk means “hot brained.” Their mot¬ to is “Kill, kill I” to which they freely add “and rob.” Their weapons are tha long lance, such as is used by the Cos¬ sack, the saber, two or three pistols and as many murderous looking duggers.— San Francisco Argonaut. 4 4 Waymanville Sheetings at 5cts.
