DEATH OF GAMBETTA.

At midnight, Dec. 31st, died Leon
Michael Gambetta, probably the most re-
markable man in current French pOlit-
ical history. He was born at Cohars,
April Sd, 1883, and hence had not reach
ed the age Of 40 years. His death is a
great loss to France. His family was of
GenOese Origin and of commercial ante
eedents. He was educated at a semin-
ary in his native town, and at a Govern
ment Lyceum, and studied law in Paris,
being admitted to the Bar in 1859, on
coming of age. He soon became noted,
especially for his defense of Deleschuze,
editor of the Reveille. At the general
election of 1869 for the Corps Legislatiff,
NJ. Gambetta was presented stmultane-
ously for Paris and Marseilles as the can
didate of the "irrecOneilable OppOsi-
tiOn." He was elected by both cOnstitu-
eneies and chose Marseilles.
After a rest rendered necessary by the
impairment of his health during the
arduOus political campaign, he took his
seat in the Corps Legislatiff, and was al
once marked figure among the mem
bers of the "IrreeOneilables." He made
strong protest against the arrest OF
his colleague Henri de ROchefOrt, in
Feb. 1870, and also denounced the plebi-
scite by which Napoleon III. sought to
strengthen his hold on the Empire. For
time his influence over his party In
the Legislature was imperiled by his
refusal to advocate violent measures

REMOVAL OF POSTOFFICE
OFFICIALS.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The chief
of the salary and allowance department,
Adist, was requested to go out with the
old year. When Henry, Anger and 9th
ers were removed, it was stated in dis
patches that the intention of the admin
istratiOn was to make war upon the ap-
pOintees Of Garfield and "the four years
Immediately preceding my predecessors
administration" The Hayes and Gar
field men are to go and they are going.
The cause of Adsit's removal has not
been made public, but doubtless it will
impugn his official character as unde-
servedly as in the case of Marshal
Henry. Adsit was brought here by James
and enjoyed the closest confidential re-
latiOns with that official. He helped to
prepare the record against the star
rOuteT cheValiers and has been very
guarded i'm his expressions as to the
guilt of the accused. Whether these
circumstances bear any significance in
connection with the removal is left to
the fruitful field of surmise, but his re-
mOVal causes CONSERVATION among all
of the appOintees Of James, and many of
them openly say that they expect to be
made to walk the plank.

CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Nr. Edmunds
moved to take up the bill to prevent pO-
litieal assessments. He said the princi-
pies of the measure had been incOrpOr-
ated in the civil service reform bill, and
thought it was wise to send both meas
ures to the House for action separately.
The bill was considered.
Mr.. Beck presented an amendment,
preventing any office holder making
contributions for political objects. Mr..
Edmunds urged that interference with
Individually business was unwarranted.
Rejected.
Mr.. Beck said the committees bill was
no improvement on the law of rs (undeT
which the Curtis case arOse) except in
details, and the President had said, and
the country knows, that the law of '7G
had proved failure.
Further amendments were voted down
and the bill as reported by the eOmmit-
tee passed.

Porter was taken up.

to preach the gospel of relaxation. There
is nothing more ridiculous in American
life than the unceasing drudgery of ma
ny men who, although we'll to do, are
less to themselves, their families and
their friends than an equal number of
respectable day labOrers on small pay.
What they are working for nobody
knows, and the drudges themselves are
more ignorant on the subject than any
one else. Between z miseT and free
handed man who is working for money
without any idea as to what he will do
with it there may be some difference Of
heart, but none at all in point Of sense.
There are many thousands of Americans
who know the means and pleasures of
but. unfortunately, they are
not those who most need rest and change.
AS Mr.. Spencer himself is an illustration
of what comes of working too much and
too fast his warning should have some
practical effect upon the mad haste of
the better class of Americans.

BILL ARP AND THE BOYS
PICK SWEET POTATOES.

For some time past l have been antici-
pating big frOlic for me and the chill
dren, for my sweet potatoes are very
fine, and so the other day we got an early
breakfast and set in for the day. 1t took
the plaw boy an hour or so to clean off
the vines for start. and L helped him
with fOur-prOnged hoe when the plOw
got too full to carry. Then me and the
three little boys undertook to pick up as
fast as the plOw turned 'em out. was
to give quarter to the chap who found
the biggest potato, which / soon found
was bad policy, for it made 'em run over
and skip good many little ones and it
kept me busy picking up what they left.
The frOlic was splendid for half day
and enjoyed seeing the big ones roll
up to the surface almost as much as 1
did when boy, but after dinner l didn't
feel much like going back, but l had to
go, and went and ftuck to it till night,
and we punched 'em in little piles and
covered 'em up with the vines, and the
next day we wentatit again, but Ididn't
go with the same alaerity, and the boys
got tired of hunting for the biggest one
and one of EN- took the headache and
laid down in the shade, and thought he
might have OverwOrked himself and sent
him to the house to rest, and in fifteen
minutes he was setting the dog on cat
up tree and having a bully time. We
only counted on day and half to close
out the job, and we worked hard and
faithful, and 1t took us three whole days,
and l never saw the like of potatoes on
an acre of ground, and towards the heel
of the last day, which was yesterday,
was 80 tired of seeing 'em foil out and
picking 'em up wouldn't have dug an
other patch if anybody had given 1t to
me. The last days digging was among
the yarns, and the milky glue that run
out of 'em got so thick on my hands
had to soak and rub and scrape 'em for
an hour to get it off, and it aiu't all off
yet, and my fingers looked like they used
| to when had been hulling Walnuts all
day Saturday. But L believe in potatoes
aud take comfort in having plenty of
| them during winter, and / have always
felt feeling of pride and confidence in
our sunny South, because we could raise
to perfection four things that the
Yankees can't, and these are cotton and
cOwpeas and Bermuda grass and pota
| toes. When our farmers learn how tC
raise these things to perfection, we can
defy the world and the flesh, and mighty
nigh keep the old devil at a respectable
distance.-Atlanta Constitution.

Steam Users and Engineers.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:-Therea are being
formed in other cities societies of sta
tiOnary engineers. their object being to
elevate them in their profession, to
teach them all the points in engineer
ing, which will mean fewer boiler ex-
plOsiOns, economy of fuel and more en-
gine duty. In some towns employers
are assisting the societies because it is
to their interest TO do so. The society
has nothing to do withstrikes or wages.
Mr.. Editor, l don't see why we cannot
have a society here IN Canton and be up
to the times. Let the engineers wake
up and try to improve themselves
morally, socially and intellectually. 1t
is but a question of time until the
States or the United States will pass
laws compelling engineers to be ex-
amined. 1t is done now in some places,
and it iesri5-e.fsstt and right that il should be
sQ.ssEYery town gets stirred up to it
