All The Children.


l suppose If all the children
Who have lived through ages long
Were collected and inspected,
They would make wondrous throng.
o, the babble of the Babel!
o, the Autter of the fuss!
To begin with Cain and Abel
And to finish up with US.
Think of all the men and women
Who are now and who have been,
Every nation since creation
That this world of ours has seen,
And of all of them, not any
But was once baby small;
While of children, O how many
Have not grown up at all.
Some have never laughed or spoken,
Never used their rosy feet; &c.
Some have even flown to heaven
Ere they knew that earth was sweet.
And. indeed, wonder whether,
If we reckon every birth,
And bring such flock together,
II there is room for them on earth?
Who will wash their smiling faces?
Who their saucy ears will box?
Who will dress them and caress them?
Who will darn their little socks
Where are arms enough to hold them?
Hands to pat each shining head?
Who will praise them9 who will scold them
Who will pack them off to bed?
Little happy Christian children, ..1
Little savage children too, ...-
In all stages, Of all ages
That our planet ever knew
Little princes and princesses, ..-...
Little beggars wan and faint; Eh
Some in very handsome dresses,
Naked some, bedaubed with paint.
Only think of the confusion
Such motley crowd would make,
And the clatter of their chatter,
And the things that they would break
o, the babble of the Babeli
O, the hutter of the fuss!
To begin with Cain and Abel,
And to finish off with us.

SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

Editor Matches Democrat:
I have just read the closing volume
of " Martins Popular History of
France.' 1t is continuation of
Guizops History, and closes with an
account of Mac-NIahon's resignation of
the Office of President of the French
Republic in 1878, and tho installation
of Mr.. Jules Grevy. This work, as
translated from the French, is publish
ed in Boston. 1t is beautifully printed
and illustrated, its style is captivating
and altogether it is highly interesting
and must needs be generally read. Al
| ready it has been distributed to thou
sands ofsubscribers in our own country,
aud it is reasonable to suppose that it
| will find its way into public aud
private libraries, and be regarded AS
history by readers in all civilized
countries.
give you below some extracts from
the third volume, to show the pres
sing necessity for the dissemination of
the facts touching the late civil war,
that the South may have justice and
a fair hearing the world over. The
The Historical Societe aims to meet
this necessity, and will do it if we are
true to ourselves, to the il!ustrious
dead, the brave survivors of the armies,
to our wives and children.
The author, writing to ihe inter
ference of the federal governement in
Mexican affairs just after the close of
our civil war, says:
ssThe South, thanks to the leisure
which slavery gave her, was far more
given to politics than the North and
although very inferior in mum bers, the
Southern people had hitherto held
public office and the reins of govern
ment, far more frequently than those
of the North. The North at least re-
acted against this preponderance the
slavery question let loose the dog OF
war. Popular feeling in the North, on
this point, agreed with popular in
terest. Aside from political jealousy
and manufacturing greed, religious and
philosophical principles were brought
powerfully to bear, and the men de-
voted to the abolition of slavery

NEW YORK PAPERS ON THE rRESI-
DENTS MESSAGE.
THeraldI T

[Heraldj
If the Republicans had at the last
session of Congress taken MIR. Arthur's
message as the guide of their action
if they had framed and adopted such
legislation as he recommended, and
there rested-it is now clear to most
of them that they would have saved
themselves the nortifying defeat OF
last month. They return to "ashlng-
ton depressed, and rightly SO, for they
have been made to feel the just anger
of the people.
[Thc Star.]
The Presidents Message shows that
he has heard of the recent elections in
the county aud understands their
meaning. He has prOfited by the tre-
mendous rebuke given his party by
the people, and he has Incorporated In
his message msuy of the ideas on
which tho Democracy made their
appeal to the people.
lWorld.I
The President does not venture to
defend the "principle of protection
In repeating the Democratic definition
of the Objects of taxation, he gives up
the Republican case. The Democrats
have now the acQuiescence OF the ofli-
cial head of the Republican party in
the Democratic doctrine of the tariff.
1t is conceded that we must have a
tariff for revenue only. Let the Demo-
Gratis stand quietly on the principle
that revenue is to be collected by the
tariff only, and stand ready to appeal
O the country against the party which
tetains the abuses of the internal re-
renue in order TO protect the abuses of
Vhe tariff.
Everybody who reads President Ar
thurs second annual message with at
lcntiun will feel that it is made in the
interest of honest and economical Gov
erument. No subsidy scheme runs be-
tween the lines. No public or private
job turks behind the paragraphs from
beginning to eud there is no recon-
menda,ion upon which dishonest hopes
can begin to build. The two most i'm
portaut passages Of the document are
those in which the President discusses,
first, the way to reduce the great and
growing surplus in the Treasury, and
secondly, the way to protect that sur
plus from the inroads of waSteful or
knavish legislation.
ITimes.l
The message of President. Arthur is
\ creditable ducumens and deserves the
careful attention of the public. No
similar document for many years has
been awaited with more universal in
difference, and there is danger that this
lack of interest may prevent the
thoughtful consideration which the
Presidents many judicious observa-
tions deserve. His sentiments on near
ly all topics are admirable. If he had
conducted his administration in accor-
dahce with them, and if ii had been
possible to unite his followers upon
them in this State last month, the
party would not be staggering under
an adverse majority of nearly 5000, 900.

POSTAL CHANGES.

AS matters WnlCO may lalIly CiuAuA
particular attention, L refer you to the
Postmaster Generals observation in re-
ference to the advisibility of changing
of the present basis for fixing salary
and allowances; of extent of the money
order system, and of enlarging the
functions of postal establishment so as
to put under it's control the telegraph
system Of the country, though from this
last and most important recommends
ton I must withhold my concurrence.
At the last session of Congress several
bills were introduced in the House OF
Representatives far the reduction OF
letter postage to the rate of two cents
per half ounce. L have given much
study and reflection to this subjects,
and am thoroughly persuaded that such
a reduction will be for the best Interests
Of the public.
CIVIL sERTICE REFORM.
Referring to suggestions made by the
President on this subject he says:
There has been no legislation upon
the subject to which they relate, but
there has been AN increase in the pub
lie interest on that sutject, and the
people of the country; apparently with
out distinction of party, have, in vari-
Gus ways and upon fir. quent occasions,
given expression to their earnest wish
es for prompt and definite action. In
my judgment such action should no
longer be postponed. I may add that
my own sense of its Importance has
been shown by observations Of the
practical phase of the matter to which
attention has more than once been
called by my predecessors.

present session some decisive action
may be taken for the correction of the
evils which attach to the present me-
thods of appointment, and assure you
of my hearty cooperation In any meas
ures which are likely to conduce to
that end.
POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Ideclare my approval of such legis-
laoion as may be found necessary for
supplementing the existing provisions
of law in relation to political assess.
ments. In July last authorized a
public announcement that employees
of the Government should regard
themselves as at liberty to exercise
their pleasure in making or refusing to
make political contributions, and that
their action in that regard would in no
manner Affect their OHlclal statue. In
this announcement I acted on views
which had always maintained and
still maintain, that Il public officer
should be as absolutely free as any
other citizen to give or to withhold q
contribution for the aid of the political
party of his choice. 1t has, however
been urged, aud not without founda
| tion in fact, that by solicitation of Off
cial superiors and by other modes suct
contributions have at times been OBJ
tanned from persons whose only mo
tive for giving has been the fear OF
what might befall them if they refus
ed. 1t goes without saying that sucl
contributions are not voluntary, and in
my judgment their collection should be
prohibited by law. A bill which will
etfectually suppress them will receive
my cordial approval.

A Model, Not q Rival.

Uader the above heading, the Tuba
hoaa Guardian, of the goth ult,, pays
The following compliment to the Win.
chester Normal;
1t has been minated TINT We give
more space to favorable notices of the
Winchester Normal than we do of our
county schools, This is incorrect for
while doing ali in our power to encour-
age and promote the cause Of education
generally, we have not failed in any
case when opportunity offered to speak a
good word for every school in the coun-
ty, and to note with eagerness and great
pleasure every effort made to advance
their interests or elevate their standard
But while we have been doing this, and
have seen with sincerest qualification
the gradual and steady advancement OF
our county schools to higher plane, we
have not withheld an expression of pro-
found delight at witnessing the exercises
of the Normal, school that in our
judgment stands pre-eminent in the
State of Tennessee. And it is in dis
arrangement of no other school that we
say this, for it is without peer so far
as our knowledge extends in both its sys-
TEN and methods, and cannot be count
ed as the rival of any.
In comparison with other schools in
the State of the same grade, Tullahoma
College, Beech Grove College, Manches-
ter College, and very many other
schools without the college" attach
ment within the county, rank well and
are undoubtedly entitled to warm COM
mendation, but in comparison with the
Winchester Normal they are pigmies to
a giant, and it is no reflection on them
as good models under the old order, to
say so.
And then they are to be still better in
the years to come when they shall have
the courage and ability to throw off the
old way and adopt the new-when the
spirit Of the Normal shall have been
thoroughly infused into them through
the teachers it sends forth every year to
point the way up. No, no, the Win
chester Normal is not the rival-it is
not even n competitor for the patronage
that rightfully belongs to the schools Of
the county. 1t is rathera model, which
in all that is progressive and valuable
they should copy-a nursing mother
from whose breast should be drawn
health and vigor to be transmitted
through hundreds of veins IN every d.
rcction to those coming after.
