A MEMORIAL FIRE.-About three years
ago the Observer reported the case Of citi-
zen of bs@county who, having married in
1913. lighted fire on his hearthstone as
soon as he carried his bride to his new home,
and had kept it burning ever since. The
citizen was in town yesterday. and, being
questioned about the matter, said that the
fire was still burning and that through all
these thirty six years it had not been allow
Ell to go out. Questioned as to whether or
not it made the house uncomfortably hot in
torrid weather, he said the extra Leaf thus
generated was rot preceptible. In reply to
another question, he said that in SIMMER
weather. when it was necessary for comforts
sake TO keep the fire burning very low, he
had to get up frequently at night to replen-
ish it slightly, but that he counted this as
nothing when he contemplated that fire 60
ing out. He had evidently formed 10. it a
strong attachment, and yet one would not
take him for sentimental man. But this
fire is to him a constant reminder Of the day
when he FIRST brought home his bride.
Around it his children have grown up into
manhood, and womanhood, and their chill
dren have gazed into its light. 1t was the
last light that fell upon the eyes of his
wife, and he hopes that it will be the last
that will fall upon his. Viewed thus, his
sentiment in the matter can be understood,
and so strong is this sentiment that with the
old man it, amounts almost Tn q naseion =

bile each time the blood passes through it, as
long as there is an excess of bile; and the eff

Through the Republican policy OF resump-
ton OF specie payment the greenback dollar
has been brought up to an equality with
gold, and every dollar the farmer receives
for bis wheat and other produce is so much
in gold and silver. What would now be the
condition OF business if Judge Harris no.
tions about greenbacks had been carried into
effect?
Prosperity and business activity are in
spring every portion of the country and eve
ry industrial pursuit, and all upon solid
basis for the currency. Judge Harris pre-
dicted general ruin to all business enter
prises, and depreciation in all kinds of prop
erty If the resumption policy was persisted
in.
refund its 6, and A per cent, bonds into
A per cent. bonds, thus saving to the people
$4,000, 900 of interest annually. Yet Judge
Harris said resumption was impossible, and
the efforts to enforce it would cause untold
disasters to the country.
The Republican policy of resumption has
stimulated enterprise, forced money from
its hiding places, and started the furnaces
andsfactories OF the nation into active mo-
ton, and the Republican policy of protec-
ton to home industry will enable them to
continue their operations at good profits
against all foreign competition.
Judge Harris and his party opposed re-
sumption and oppose protection, notwith
standing the berefits the American people
are reaping from them.
The State draws contrast between the
business activity of the North and the
''stand-stll;' condition of the South at this
time, and wants to know the cause. Simply
such articles as have recently appeared 10
the State denouncing, in coarse terms, Gen.
and the northern people generally, and
their ''crude. and uncultured civilization
The State. had established reputation for
true. conservatism, and such denunciatory
editorial articles as it has recently published
are. necessarily taken as representative OF
public sentiment, although they may not be
and we do believe they are. Let the Demo-
cratic press generally OF the South reflect
the conservative feeling and sentiment of
the people, and not endeayor to comfort every
thing to partizan ends, and especially not
demand the nomination of Kearney as their
standard bearer, to oppose Gen. Grant,
should he be the Republican nominee,
as the State did, and we will find
capital and enterprise directing tfeir atten>
ton to the South, as well as the North and
West.
