The Richest Boy INA America.

The papers are telling about a boy in
New England. now fourteen years of
age, who is supposed to be the richest
boy in the United States, because he has
a great deal of money. To our mind
the richest boy in America is the one
who is good hearted. honest, intelligent,
ambitious, willing to DO right. He is the
one who loves his mother, and always
has kind word for her, who loves his
sisters, and tries to help them with trdc
affection. He is the boy who does not
call his father the . old man." but who
loves him, speaks kindly to and of him,
and tries to help him as the signs Of old
age gather fast upon his brow.
The richest boy is the one who has
pluck to fight his destiny and future. -
He is the one who has tho manhood! to
do right and be honest, and is striving
TO be somebody: who is above doing a
mean action--who would not tell lie to
screen himself, or betray friend He
whose, young mind j, full of noble
thoughts for the future, who is determ
ined TO win a name by good deeds
This is the richest boy in America =
Which one Of our readers is it?
This boy we like, we would be glad
to see, would like to take him by the
hand and tell him to go On earnestly,
that success might crown his Efforts
And if he is n poor boy, we should meet
him at the threshold, bid him enter, and
give him. good advice, well and kindly
meant. That other rich boy. in New
England; we don't care anything about
for there are fools and snobs enough to
worship, flatter and spoil him.

ures and privileges still left you, because
you can't have everything just'as you
want it! Think of the loving, clinging
hearts that your GOODNESS shadows-of
the bright faces over which your frowns
have east reflected gloom. AREN'T you
ashamed OF yourself?
Again, your burdens may beso ,hea-
w that you cannot smile. But,Fohl be
kind, because your own soul is dark,
don't pierce another heart with need
less wound by, your GOODNESS and sullen
ness. Because there are some thorns in
your way, don't plant other thorns in
he path Of another with your own hand
If you cannot be cheerful, be kind.

THE LATE PRESIDENT SALNAVE.

Salvaln Salnaye, who was executed at
Port-au-Prince on the 10th inst, was a
native OF the City of Cape Haytien, where
he was born in the year 1882. He entered
the army as common soldier, and grad
ually rose to the position of Captain of
Cavalry OF the North, which position he
retained after the establishment of the EN-
pire under Soulouque, although he held
republican principles. When on the morn
ing of Dec. 22, 1893, Geffrard raised, in
the name of the people, the standard of
revolt, and declared for Republic, the
Imperial Guard were at once mustered to
quell what was deemed mad enterprise.
Owing to the influence of Salnave the
whole North rallied to the cause of Geff-
rard, and finally the Empire was over
thrown and a Republic established. Geff-
rard, being vain, ambitious man, used
little discretion in rewarding those who
espoused his cause, and, among others,
conferred the title of Major in the army
upon Salnave, to whose bravery, energy,
and persistency, he actually owed his high
position. Soon there came another call
for his services. Spain, having taken adj
vantage of the civil war in this country,
sent strong force, and declared the an
nexation of the Dominican portion of the
1Slanu ana reeStaDllShed 1t once more as a
colony. Salnave entered warmly into the
conflict against the invaders, and to his
efforts, more than any one person, was
due the credit of their expulsion. Feeling
aggrieved by the action of President Geff-
rard in regard to Gen. Oge Longuefosse,
he commenced revolutionary movement
which resulted in Getfrard flying from the
country in March, 1867, and Salnave be-
ing proclaimed President. The Republic
continued in disturbed condition, and in
November last insurgents in the South pro-
claimed Gen. Dominique President, and
those in the North Gen. Seget These
movements eliminated in the recent events
which placed Salnave in the power of his
enemies, mainly by the detection of his
own forces. In person Salnave was of
very commanding presence, about six feet
in height, of regular features, large, lus-
trous eyes, and dark complexion. He re-
ceived a good education in comparison
with those around him, and displayed re-
markable sagacity and force of character
in his official correspondence.

SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM.

Hon. James Brooks of the New York
Express, writes the following very truth
full comments upon the duties and respon-
sibilities of journalists
at is now nearly thirty-four years since
the Express was first published in this city,
and our newspaper experience dates some
half dozen years beyond that in another field
of labor, and if our observation for near forty
years is worth anything as journalists, and in
profession in which we have been wholly
educated, it is with us a solemn conviction
that the entire usefulness of public journal
consists in its scrupulous regard for truth.
We do not claim to be exempt from the mis-
takes and nfirmities of other men, and often
feel how difficult it is, surrounded by a score
and more of assistants and reporters, each
with little comparative responsibility, to say
and present just what we feel and know to be
right. This very difficulty, sometimes amount
ing to an impossibility, only adds to the con-
viction that a public journal has no right to
be untruthful, malevolent, personal and SEN
sational, merely for the advantage of catering
to depraved and degrading public taste and
opinion.

Of the country, really adds twelve
and half per cent. to the present
amount of courrency. When, by the
operation Of this law, the greenbacks
are all redeemed, the banks shall be
compelled to redeem their notes in
coin. And thus resumption will have
been accomplished without convul-
sion, or even embarrassment. Tho
greatest benefit of all would be, it is
claimed, the establishment Of a fexi,,
BILE system of bank currency, regula-
ted by the great commercial law Of
! supply and demand.
1t is understood that in the prerar-
alton of his bill, Mr.. Palmer has re-
ceived essential cooperation from
some high officials of the Treasury
Department, and that it represents
the views Of considerable number of
the members Of the lower House,
We may therefore expect that an
animated discussion will soon take
place upon its merits, and can only
express the hope that some practica.
BILE way may be found tor effecting
the important objects which this bill
intended to compass.

Publishing The Laws.

The Hon. G. Dudley of Wapello
County has made a raid on the News.
papers of Iowa, by introducing a
bill to repeal chapter 1ls acts OF
1866, which authorizes the publica.
ton of the laws in county papers.
Per contra,l the following is what
Mr.. Auditor Elliott says on the SUBJ
ject,
"The publication ::of the laws as
provided for in chapter III, Acts Of
1866, has become an item of consid-
cradle expense to the State, but, in
my opinion, it is money well expend.
cd. By this means all the laws
passed by your honorable body are
brought to the notice of ALL the peo-
pie of the State, (for tho people of
Iowa are reading people, at the
expense of the entire State. Every
man is presumed to kno,0 the lao, and
this gives every one the opportunity
that makes such presumption reason
able"

Appointed.

Henry Clay Macarthur, of keosau
qua was Private, Corporal, Ser
geant, and orderly of aK' Co., 18th
Iowa. which Co., this writer had the
honor during that time, to command
Later he was made LIST Lit, of q
company, same regiment, and ulti
mately, Capt. and Brevet Major or
Gen. VIM. W. Belknap's staff, which
position he was filing with marked
credit, at the collapse of the demo.
cratic rebellion.
On his muster out, he went to
Memphis, Missouri, to sell drugs,
where an appointment as Assessor Of
Internal Revenue for the 3rd NO.,
Congressional District has just reach
ed him.
Mack was always a brave, faithful,
intelligent soldier, and his appoint
ment to an honorable and lucrative
Office, is another illustration Of the
fact, that reward will sooner or later
over take merit. He will make an
excellent Assessor and we rejoice
that it has struck him, and hope he
won't feel as bad over it as he did that
bloody morning in July, 1864, before
Atlanta, when an Internal screeching
piece OF pot metal, about the size of
skillet lid, came along and took off
pretty much all that useful part of
his corporosity, which he had up to
that time been in the habit of sitting
down on.

On the evening OF
the 18th inst, meeting OF the citi.
zens of Dahlonega and vicinity was
held in the NJ. E. Church. The OBJ.
ject of this meeting was to consider
the educational interests of the VII
lage. Superintendent Cox was pros
ent and delivered very fine lecture
entitled "The object Of education"
1t was full Of practical thought, de-
ivered in very forcible manner. It
was a marked feature of his lecture,
that he aimed at the hinderances to
education existing in Dahlonega. 1t
was word fifty spoken, word in
the right place. After Mr.. Cox con-
Guided, Messrs. Barton, Searle, Ward
& Johnson, were severally called and
responded in some very telling re-
marks, showing that intelligence ex-
alteth a community, but that willful
ignorance is reproach t. any PEG.
pie. After these remarks the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted.
ResoEued, That we the citizens of
Dahlonega and vicinity are in favor
of imposing on ourselves a tax, suf-
ficient to build school House suita-
bic for our accommodation, the house
not to cost more than $4,000.

Free Banks.

We take from the Washington
Chronicle the following synopsis o.
Hon. Frank w. Palmer's new Free
Bank scheme, which he recently in.
troduced into the House OF Repre-
sentatives at Washington, and
which seems to have met with con.
siderable favor.
"The bill amends the National
Banking law of 1S64-8, so as to
authorize the establishment of free
banks in all sections of the country.
Under it's provisions, parties making
application for charters must present
to the Secretary of the Treasury, as
tho basis Of security, Five twenty
(six per cent? bonds, which bonds
must be by Secretary Cancelled, and
in lieu thereof he is directed to issue
for deposit by the proposed banking
associations, four per cent. bonds,
running forty years, principal and
interest, payable in coin, non-taxable
by Federal, State or municipal au-
thority, and the interest on the bonds
held in Europe payable in the mon
eys Of European countries. These
bonds arc convertible, at the option
of the owners, from coupon into reg
istered, or registered into coupon.
The bill directs the Secretary of
the Treasury to redeem and cancel
an amount Of greenbacks for three
per cent. certificates equal to seventy
five per cent of the circulating notes
issued under the free banking system.
1t provides for the redemption of the
notes in New York, as we'll as at the
counters of the banks issuing them,
thus establishing the same relative
uniformity ofvalue Of national bank
notes that there Is in drafts drawn
upon New York. 1t prohibits banks
from paying interest on current de.
posits, thus helping to check the ex.
hausting drain Of currency and capt.
al from the country to the CONNER
cial centers. It provides that the
engravings and printing of the new
circulating notes shall be done in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing of
tho Treasury Department; that each
denomination of notes shall be on
distinctive paper, and from lathe
work, dies, bed pieces, and rolls new
or before used, in part or in whole,
for other notes.
The benefits, in brief, claimed for
the proposed law are.' A saving to
the Government of two per cent. per
annum on whatever bonds may be
issued under the free banking law as
the basis of security; the gradual alb.
sorption of geeenbacks (Which, say
the friends Of this measure, are now
neither more nor less, than protested
Government paper), and instead of
producing contraction of the aggre.
