Gems OF Thought.

Prayer should be the key Of the
day and the lock of the night. Bishop
Berkeley.
Reflection is an angel that points
out the errors .of the past, and gives us
courage to avoid them in the future.
I'm Gods matters there are not, as
in grammar, the positive and compara-
tive degrees: there are not a true, q
more true and most true. Truth is,an
indivisible line that hath no latitude
Samuel Rutherford.
1t Is very common TO forget the
beauty Of holiness. The strength, en-
ergy, purity, peace and other qualities
are kept in mind, mainly, however, be-
cause OF their utility in the spiritual
economy Of life; but She attractiyeness
which ought to be its chief charm is
left out of sight. Exchange.
To walk as becomes Christian is
to walk worthy Of eternity. So this
world snail not unduly excite, when il
looms up large, nor unduly depress,
when it breaks and fails. As the mount
aims are round about Jerusalem, so
will the white mountains of eternity
dignity the believers lowly walk under
their shadows, and sustain the pulses
that otherwise would flag, with the
thought that he is' called some day to
walk their flashing submits. Interior.
No doubt there Is profound salts
faction in the thought that the good we
do will live after us. We may rejoice
also at the benefit the world derives to-
day from the good deeds Of those who
are dead and gone. But TO set up this
sort ofimmortality as substitute for the
personal immortality which Christiani-
ty promises, to praise 1t as nobler OBJ
jcct Of aspiration, TO try TO appease the
longing OF the human heart with the
prospect IL offers, is all in vain. Con-
scious life after death Is the immortality
which man longed for in ages past,
longs for to-day, and will always long
for. Science may doubt and philosophy
deny, but the hope Of such an immortal
ity will be as eternal rs the foundations
OF the earth. IN. 4. Sun.

WHY HE DIDN'T LIKE HIS
GRANDMA.

"Idont like Grandma at ALL said Fred
AZ don't like Grandma ut all;"
And he drew his face In queer grimace,
The tears were ready to fall
As he rave his kitten loving hug,
And disturbed her nap on the soft warm
rug.
"why, what has your Grandma done," I
asked,
"To trouble the little boy2
oh, what has she done, the cruel one,
To scatter the smiles of joy?'
Through ouiyering lips the answer came,
She-called- --my-kitty
She didp are you sureY" And kissed the
tears
Away from the eyelids wet

The American Farmer and The En-

We have perfected arrangements with
the publishers of the American Farmer, of
Fort Wayne, Ind, that enable us to offer
our subscribers first-class Agricultural
Magazine at the bare cost Of the white
paper on which IL is printed. The Ameri-
can Farmer is a 16.page monthly maya
zine, which is rapidly taking rank as one
of the leading agricultural publications of
the country. Each number will contain
useful information for the farmer, his wife,
his sons and his daughters. As it costs
you almost nothing, suppose you try it
one year.

that money will be needed now as
badly as in 1880. that men are just
as able to pay now as then, and that
no less than a 500. 900 must be coli
lected out of the Government De-
partments here. Every clerk
knows that the screws were applied
in 1880 as they never were before,
and that there was stern brutality
about the methods of that year that
left no chance of lodging.
TO get just the right kind of men
for this service of collection occa-
sions the committee anxious
thought. In 1880 they were selec-
ted by the Bureau chiefs from
among the clerks. Some OF them
ostensibly resigned from duty,
while others took leave of absence
for month while collecting. They
were paid a good commission on
their collections, and were thus en-
couraged to squeeze their associates
dry. After the election they were
all reappointed, and most of them
were promoted. Unfortunately fol
the committee, the Civil Service
law prevents the continuance d
this practice. Ifa man resigns now
he can get back only through the
| civil service examination. and sc
no clerks can be used to press money
out of their fellow clerks this year
So much for reform.

Hon. David P. MADDEN.

The CHRONICLE always records
with pride the advancement of
former citizens Of GAINESVILLE who
have gone out into the world and
achieved an honorable name. We
find the following in the Washing
ton correspondence of the BalGmo-
rian concerning a gentleman who
formerly lived here and is we'll
known in this community
Hon. David p. MADDEN, of Mem
phis, Tenn, President of the Tax
ing District OF that name has gone
home in the last few days, after
noting the passage of the bill ap-
propriating $250,0O0 for the Mem.
phis river front. The successful
results attending the management
of this matter-one that is of such
vital importance to the city, and
the vast country tributary to it, are
largely due to Mr.. Hadden's intel
ligent and comprehensive knoWl-
edge of the situation, and his knack
of convincing others that he is
right. He was sleepless in his Wig
lance during the progress of the
bill, and watched every phase of it
with an interest that did not flag.
Mr.. MADDEN has in him the stuff
for an able Representative, and the
Memphis District would honor it
self in sending him to Washington
at the next election. Beside having
the confidence of all Democrats, he
has demonstrated his ability to con-
troll a very respectable following
among those voters who are not
bound especially by party ties.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
There is no lack of political work
and political gossip at the Capital
city these days, although the work
il pursued in stealthy sort of way,
and the talk is carried OH in an I'M
dertone. Searching for campaign
stories is the chief business OF the
committees. They are ransacking
the Congressional Records, hunting
up old newspapers, and collecting
matter in u vigorous, though Sc
creL way. Both parties have men
at work securing the Departments
and the Congressional Library Tor
data to be used on the stump.
Every day men may be seen at the
Capital porting over old documents
and files, OF old papers, taking notes
of all matters that may, In any way,
be of service in the coming struggle.
The Democrats appropriate,
among other findings, acts and ex.
pressions OF Blain derogatory to the
Irish or in antagonism to the labor
ing classes. The Republicans are
trying to find some means of refu-
ting these grave charges and of es-
tablishing for him a record friendly
to the labOrer and TO the Irish.
Nothing can be found against Gov
ernOr Cleveland here, as for Hen
bricks, the record of the campaign
of '76 is still preserved.
Much work is devoted to Senator
Logans political history, which has
never been treated infinitely. Be
sides his ante-beIlum record, which
affords rich material, his prO-6la-
very sentiments being quite incon-
sistent with his present declarations
and anti-civil service record has
been cotton up against him.
The Republicans are looking hard
for reading matter for green back
allies. From localities where this
element is particularly strong they
are receiving urgent requests for
financial arguments to strengthen
their position on this question. The
committee are troubled, however,
as to where to get new and import
ant material, and, in consequence,
will probably be forced to reprint
the Old documents of last campaign.
The Department officials are be-
coming warmed up to Il fighting
condition, and are restless in their
desire to make the campaign hot
and aggressive.
The Department clerks are given
to understand, that, nOtwithstand-
ing their remOnstrances, they will
be pressed for political contributions
this year as hard as in former times.
The finance committee began its
work on Saturday in a plain notifi-
cation that Departments will be
made to do as we'll for Blaine as
Jay Hubbell, now politically no
more, made them do for Garfield.
The creation of a special finance
committee for the District of Column
bia is piece of new machinery and |
the appointment of Messrs. CIapp
and Raum as Chairman and Treas
urer are quite as significant OF bust
ness. These names have a mean
ing to every clerk in Washington. |
The men have long been prominent |
In District politics, they know the
Department people thoroughly, and |
how to manage them. They say |

Fashion Hints from peterson,s Magazine

Fashion Hints from Peterson's Magazine
for September.
All skirts fall fiat in front, and
are pulled at the back; too much
tournure, however, is in bad taste.
Bonnets are nearly all small,
close to the head, except IN front,
where many of them come up to a
point.
Vests are worn by many ladies,
especially young ones.
The hair, in Paris, is worn very
high, with the puffs little on one
side, she opposite side being filled
in with bows of ribbon and aig-
retts, according to circumstances.
Long Swedish kid gloves are still
wcrn for visiting, dinner, and eve
ming parties. They are no longer
worn over sleeves, however. for
out-of-door costumes, but are thrust
under the sleeves.
The new materials for the coming
season are beginning to make their
appearance, and are very stylish,
especially the handsome EN- broider-
ed cashmeres and figured velvets,
both of which promise to be very
popular.
&Embroideries and lace are still
much used, but will be superseded
by heavier adornments later In the
season.
Velvet bands, running around
the underskirt OF g dress, are very
fashionable; they show, at regular
intervals, under long plated strips
of the material, or under the curv-
ed draperiss of the overdress. u
Sashes and belts are coming large
ly into vogue. Pointed centuries
of velvet are much employed on
dresses having trimmings of velvet.

A CORRECTION.

The Nashville World of the 4th
inst imputes language to the CHRoNI-
Gle which has never appeared in this
paper in form or substance. The
World seems to labor under the delu-
sion that the CHRONICLE has been
growing" about some of its gymnas-
tics and is dissatisfied with the many
antics which it performs before the
public. The fact is, the CHRONICLE
has scarcely mentioned the World in
six months or more, and never in such
q manner as that ascribed to it. We
care nothing about what the World
does or says, and don't trouble our
selves to complain of its actions.
As to the Democracy of the CHRoN-
ICLE, it is so much purer a sample of
the true faith than the stuff which the
World breaches, that this paper would
demean itself to do more than smile
at the Worlds accusation of heresy
The CHRONICLE stands squarely on
the Democratic platform put forth at
Chicago and supports the nominations
made by that convention. 1t likewise
gives its hearty endorsement to Gov.
Bate and hopes to see him reelected.
The CHRONICLE processes no blind
fealty to any organization. Its devo-
ton is paid to principles and as long
as the platform of the Democratic par
ty promulgates the doctrines it be-
lieves in and dominates candidates it
can endorse, the CHRONICLE is an I'M
swerving Democrat ard will battle for
Democracy without any regard for
what the organ OF rings or the mouth
piece of clique may say about it.
