Charles Summers Early Love.

The love, by pre-eminence, OF
Charles Summers life was in his com
paratively early days, fer woman
who has been q happy wife and
mother, and who is still living. Re
linguished on account of her prefer
enee for the gentleman whom ste
afterward married, it assumed in his
mind the only blameless form of a
batfled attachment, that of senti
ment, which differs from love only i'll
the absence Of the appropriating
element which is the distinguishing
mark of the grand passion. He be
came the best friend of both parties,
and after lapse of time remembered
the experience without regret or
pain, though I have sometimes
thought it made him doubtful OF his
own powers of pleasing. Three
years before his death, after bis mar
rige and separation from another
woman, / spoke to him in strong
commentator of certain literary
productions of his early love that
had attracted but little attention
from the general public. "Charm-
ing, charming WIS his reply, with
a softening of his face, a tender Ca
dence in his voice, and a dreamy
look in his hazel eyes, that I never
saw when any other subject or any
other person was under discussion. I
observed during the evening that fol
lowed this quiet conversation, that he
only aroused from the pleasantly med
itative mood into which my remark
seemed to have thrown him, to as
sent to everything I said. 1t was an
agreeable experience, but it was not

Secretary Frelinghuysen, an hons
ored son of the State of New Jersey,
has succeeded Mir. Blaine as Secre-
tary of State. He was, so to speak,
Graded in craftsmanship, his uncle
and father, by adoption, having been
United States Senator, an eloquent
advocate, and man of thorough ed
ucation and many enviable attain
ments.
Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen
was born in Middletown, Somerset
County, New Jersey, August 4, 1877.
He was the nephew and adopted son
of Theodore Frelinghuysen, an en-
inent lawyer and patriotic soldier,
by whose encouragement his early
studies were fostered. At the age
of twenty-three he was graduated
from Rutgers College, and three
years afterwards, in the year 1889,
admitted to the bar of New Jersey
When forty-four years Of age he was
appointed Attorneys General of his
native State, an honor repeated in
the year 1866 This same year was
that of his promotion to the United
States Senate, to fill vacancy which
expired in 1869, the end of the term.
One year later he was again appoint
ed to represent New Jersey in the
United States Senate. His term
began in 1871, end expiring in due
course, left the Senator without an
office. His position as premier in
President Arthur's Cabinet, is one
which, in the opinion of people of
all shades of opinion, he will more
than adequately fill, being well
equipped for it's honorble duties by
thorough academical and legal cul-
ture, and natural strength of iudg-
ment matured by prolonged applica-
ton to and experience in affairs.

NOT A HAUPER STATE.

We are glad to know that Tennes-
see is not the community of paupers
as represented by Judge Sneed at
La Grange, when he said the
rich are not rich enough to pay their
taxes, snd the poor are too poor to
buy their daily bread. Here at home,
where the people know that Judge
Sneed is prone to deal in extrayagant
figures Of speech and sophmoric
rhetoric. we understand that he does
not always mean what he says-that
he sometimes exercises his rhetoric
at the expense of facts. But where
he is not so well known his remarks
may be taken literally and strangers
would be led to suppose that we
were community of naked, starving
paupers.
But such is net the fact We are
not as wealthy as we might have
been or ought to be. But the mum
Der of people in Tennessee who
are actually in want of the necessa-
ries OF life is as small as that of any
State in the Union. As q general
thing our people are comfortably
clad, and it is rare thing to hear of
starvation in Tennessee, SO rare that
we do not recall single instance. Why
should any man who is blessed with
ordinary health suffer for the neces-
saries fife? There is no reason. Judge
Sneed will not seriously insist that
any considerable proportion of our
people are too poor to buy bread,
and if they are, unless made so by
disease, it is their own fault.
No, Tennessee is rich-rich in
soil, in climate and in natural re-
sources. And we are growing
richer every year. Let no man be
deferred from seeking home among
us, by the statement that we are a
community of hungry, naked beggars.
We are opening mines, building
manufactures, constructing railroads
and increasing the capacity of our
soil. We have not only the neces-
saries of life but many Of its luxu
ries. We are building school houses
and churches, and building up onr
schools. We never were beggars
and our condition is better now than
ever before, and it is improving all
the time. The attention of the
world is being attracted to our iron,
our coal, our marble, our water power,
our forests and our lands. Tennessee
I is not pauper State. But Judge
Sneed must let us be honest.

DEMOCRATS DISAGREE.

The report comes from Washing
ton that feeling of bitterness is
springing up between the Northern
and the Southern Democrats. The
story is that Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
and his friends feel sore over the fact
that when he, in the last Congress,
contested the seat Of Yoakum, Green
hacker, the Southern Democrats
voted against him because he had
been the war Governor of Pennsyl-
vania. Now they propose to retail
late by voting against Chalmers and
other Southern Democrats and ex-
Confederates whose seats are contes
ted. This is very naughty if true,
and it is not right. We
have no idea that Chalmers was
elected. He was counted in on

SATURDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1881.
one of the encouraging facts pre-

ONE of the encouraging facts pre-
sented by the late census, lis the large
increase in the number of farms in
the Southern States. There were
10000 more farms i'll Georgia in 1880
than in 1870, and the ratio of increase
was about the same in South Caro-
lima and several other Southern
States. And this increase will go on
We have too many large farms in
the South yet. If they were cut up
until the number is multiplied by
three. so much the better. Smaller
farms will be better cultivated and
their productive capacity increased
And the fact that they are increasing
in number and diminishing in size,
shows that the agricultural classes
are prospecting. More of them are
becoming the owners iof. their own
homes and are consequently becom-
ing more independent and more in
terested IL the growth and develop
ment of our material interests. With
such state of affairs society will
improve and the wealth of the coun-
try will be made solid and permaa-
ent. We have long felt that one of
the needs of the South was more
farms and more independent farmers,
and the census of 1880 shows that
we are gaining in the right direction.
