Our POSITION.

While it is true that Ar. Doyn
ton is our choice for governor as
between him and Mr.. Bacon, "
have no sort OF desire to influence
any one in the exerci-eof his pref
erence upon this question. We
gave our reasons in tie last NUM-
Der of tle JOURNAL why we should
support Mr. Boynton, end We
doubt Let thdt tiey were entirely
satisfactory to our readN s. Nor
do we claim IN this view Of the
case TO represent popular san,l
ment, for there are vcay meny ii
this sect who would prefer

not a can6hiate for s. na.oria
honora, therefore, it seems as il
the raoa is narrowed down between

A BACON MAN SPEAKS.

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-As your pa
per has declared FOR Col Boynton
for governor, you viii oblige the
humorous friends Of Major Bacon,
by publishing the following ex-
tract taken from letter addressed
to the editors Of the Augusta
Chrolicle over The signature of
"A Stephens Democrat" in sup
port OF Bacon's claim over that Of
any one else for the place.
TERRELL.
+ We take great pleasure III pub
lishing the extract referred to by
"Terrell." While we favor Col.
Boynton for the Office Of governor
we desire that every one who has
a choice shall exercise it, unbias
ed by anything we may nave
said. Below will be found the
extract-EDs.
CAS- an ardent supporter OF MIR.
Stephens in the last canvass, as
his personal and political friend
for years past, / may be permite-
cd to venture a suggestion and
make an appeal to the party, to
quietly preserve that harmony,
which every patriotic damocrat SO
much desires.
IN the late canvass for governor
the candidates before the party
were Mr.. Stephens and Bacon.
After a spirited contest the con-
yentioa met when il was ascertain
ed that MIR. Stephens had a major
ity Of the delegates as his sappor-
tars, but large minority Of The
delegates were ardent supporters
Of Bacon. Mr. Staphens'8 friends
adopted the majority rule which
gave Bacon a preteXt, had he been
more ambitious than patriotic to
have broken up the convention,
when endless strife and turmoil
would have been the inevitable re-
suit. But true to hisailegianoe t.
The party, true to his past record
as a patriotic democrat, be urged
his friends to sabmit gracefully to
the behes5 Of the majority; and
thus harmony prevailed and party
peace was preserved. 1t now Oc-
ours TO nae that such action on the
part Of Bacon merits favorable re-
cogaiiion al The hand OF the party
lac has done SO much to preserve
aud protect I know it may he
said he simply did his duty To
this / assent, but insist that men
should be rewarded for doing their
duty certainly if ii would be true
that duty is the sublimest word
IN our language"
ln the next place, is Bacon COM
petent? of this there can be 10
doubt. His frst services to the
State as Speaker of the House in
timately acquainted him with the
various details of the Office of
,,5,srnor. A. an executive officer
he is quite the peer Of any man
il Georgia; indeed, he seems pc
culiarly gifted in this line OF pub
lie duty. With a nerve equal to
any emergency, his demeanor is
as courtly rs a prince. He would
certainly reflect no discredit on the
highest Office within the gift of the
people. ] insist, Messrs. Editors, to
preserve party harmony it is our
duty now, as the friends Of Mr..
Stephens, to zen Ter Major Bacon

From the Saw News
On the 10th day Of April next
the democratic party Of Georgia,
through its representatives i'll CON
vention assembled, viii select
candidate for governor to fill the
vacancy now existing III the oxecu-
tive Office. Thus far bat two gen
tlemen named for the position ex-
hibit any marked strength. 1t is
quite likely, however, that others
will enter the field, and that there
will be a contest more or less spir-
tied for the choice Of the conven-
ton. We accordingly take pleas
ure in suggesting as the successor
of the late distinguished executive
a gentleman well known to the
people of Georgia and everywhere
respected for his ability, integrity
and worth. We alluda to the Hon.
Rufus Il. Lester, SO long the hon
ored president of the state senate
and at present the popular and ey-
cellent mayor Of Savannah IN
fitness for the high trut OF the
governorship Mr.. I.e.}a- IS the
peer of any Georrian hat could
be named His serv,ca In }he leg
islature has familiariza3 him with
the details Of that wise policy
which has contributed so largely
to the welfare Of the common
wealth. An able lawyer thor
ough business man, a close obser-
yer Of the times intellectually he
is admirably qualified for ta4 po-
sition, which he would adoru wish
his courtesy and geniality, which
win for him the regard OF al with
whom he is broagA5 IN contact
His friends everywhere through
out the state would behigaiy g.aJ-
flied at his elevation 10 the g3v-
ernorship, and would regard his
selection as d guarantee that the
government would be conducted
Oh business principles and with an
eye single to the welfare Of 5he
whole people His nomination
would command the hearty ap-
proval Of the democratic party,
and would be a graceful recogni-
tion of the claims of this section
of the state. We suggest Mr..
Lester, however, simply as pre-
senting for the high Office al The
qualifications that can be required
and we indulge the hope that biz
merits will be recognized. If thl
people wish q governor who vii
bring to the discharge Of his du-
ties a clear comprehension Of th;
needs of the commonwealth anc
the tact Of thorough man of bus
mess, they will unite IN Rufus L
Lester, OF Chatham.

A Remarkable Parrot.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
AT Windsor, VT, in the possession of Col.
NJ. X. Paine, there is a parrot whose story
may be interesting to the boys and girls who
read the Journal. 1t is a gray, African par
rot, and at the time it was purchased in Bos-
ton was warranted to say a hundred words.
But now he goes far beyond that, and has
learned to vary sentences to suit the occa-
sion. In the morning he greets the family
with good morning pleasant morning"
and then, if no one pays any attention to
him, he repeats it, in a gruf and imperative
voice, until he gets a response. He initiates
every sound that he hears, even the tones of
the voices of individuals, so hat members
of the family in another room are often puz-
zled. His cat-fghts are wonderful imita-
tions. He picks up snatches Of tunes,
very easily, and learns to whistle whole
tunes with good expression. Every
luxury he calls a peanut. One day he lost a
peanut through the wire floor of his cage.
He tried in various ways in vain to get hold
of it, and, after storming around his cage,
he came as near to it as he could, and, in a
wheedling tone, said: Good morning, pea
nut Don't you van to come up?' He is
fond of playing with an almond, using it as
a boy would a ball, throwing it UP and
shouting Hello" or 'tOh" if it happens to hit
him on the head. AS he throws it he calls
out, Hello, peanut" At night the canary
birds cage is put on the table by him, and
he comes down from his perch as close as he
can and calls in a tender tone, Poor little
pussy" That is his term for any pet. He
often whispers in a confidential tone, and
laughs at his own JOKE. He says;
How do you do? Is Polly
well? Is Polly cold? What is tine
matter? What ails your etc. He has a great
deal of curiosity about the telephone, an
swering "Helio!" and often calls out, Whats
the talk?' He likes to have his poll scratched,
and in a cracked voice rings all sorts of
changes on the sentence, DC you want
mother to scratch your ppl@n fl reinem-
Uers the family that he lived with formerly.
and calls their names and says, Where is
the little boy? Has he gone to school?' He
let out the TACT that he had been accustomed
to be punished. Sometimes he bites the wires
OF ms cage, and makes them ring. and shouts.
Naughty, naughty Polly! Do Won want tbe
stick?' When he is punished he cries iGet
out Go away!' and stands on one foot, and
over and examines it. He Hens shows IL
a great deal of curiosity about what happens
IN the mouse, and one day watched the OPEN
lng OF a box, and said: What are you doing
there?' He calls himself pet names such as
Polly Wolly," you rascal" You old
Polly" In a thunderstorm he was
frightened and at a very loud clap he iumped
his perch, and in a human frightened
tone, cried out: Whats the trouble?' These
only a few specimens of the words and
that he has acquired, and he is CON
'tantly learning and is often overheard prac- !
icing the words bV himself M idao oaa -
given of the wonderful variety of expressive
ones that he employs. His range is beyond
hat commonly used by ordinary people.

Before this century the university has
been shackled by the church to crush indie
pendent thought. Illustrious names have
shone, but not in the school. Kepler and
Copernicus were denied honorable connec-
ton with schools of their time; Luther's doc
trines were prohibited from examination in
universities; Melanchthon dared not lecture
before colleges. After the reformation, the
assumptions of Professionalism, regarding
itself the ultimatum of religious ad-
vancement, grew as arbitrary as that of the
former church. This century has
revolutionized the university. William III
severdd it from ecclesiastic bondage, and
filed its chairs with strong-brained scholars,
instead of p~edagogues disappointed in other
vocations and holding some claim on the
favor of the government.
Among the present faculty of Berlin Uni
%versity, Curtius can carry the tudent back
to ancient Greece, and revive its antiquities
until Greek life throbs in living veins. Helm
holz. backed by his invaluable discoveries
in science, makes simple the knotty prob
lens of chemistry and physics. Mommsen
can awaken old Rome; under his ponderous
grasp her history passes in living panorama.
With this constellation of brilliant scholars.
and started in her independent course, the
German university is wheeling along a glori-
Gus orbit. MAGGIE w. NOBLE.
