HAPPINESS.

Happiness is found within us,
and not without US. Happiness
is creation Of our making 1t
has to do with our Subjective nat
ure. Wsgive to our own thoughts
their eoioring. Happiness, at
last, is eonteutment, and we must
look within for its blessings.
Outward circumstances do not al
ways bring it. Nor dove fndit
always in gorgeous palaces, ln
much riches. or IN high positions.
The Kingdom of Heaven, as far
as it is attainable in this worlu,
lies within our own heart. Apro-
pos to this line ofthought we sub
join the following from the Eu-
fanla Bulletin:
Ex-Governor Smith, of Geor-
gia, says the greatest mistake Of
his life was when he quit the
bIacksmith's trade. We presume
this is generally regarded as a
joke, but have no doubt the ex-
Governor was sincere in his re-
mark. LIE he had remained at the
anvil, he would not have acquired
fame and fortune; but he would
perhaps have lived happier life
than he has lived. Not that we
presume his life has been an un-
happy one, but like the life of all
politicians, it has had its disap-
pointments. He reached the
highest Office in his State, but
failed in the ultimate object OF
his ambition, the United States
Senate. No doubt such failure
entailed more unhappiness than
he would ever have suffered as n
Successful blacksmith. We be-
lieve that the preponderance of a
human happiness is found in the
humber walks of life. We be-
lieye there is more happiness
among the illiterate negroes of
our community than among the
educated white people. We be-
lieve that many a mans happi-
ness is spoiled by educating him
for a station in life which he can
not reach. Disappointed ambi-
tion, discomfort and unhappiness
are the result. A moderately ed
ucated, moral community is gen.
orally thrifty and happy"

NEVER HEARD OF DEATH:
From the Marietta, Ca, Journal.

From the Marietta, Ca, Journal.
We are told that in the noun
tain Businesses of North Georgia,
where the locomotive whistle has
never been heard, where the
"worm of the still never dieth, "
and the missionary has not preach
ed, that there are men and chill
dren who cannot read, never heard
of Jesus Christ, his mission or
death, know nothing of Sunday
schools. or the proper observance
of the Sabbath or what Christmas
means. It is related that when a
mans thirteen-year-old daughter
died up there not long ago, the
father bent over the corpse, with
weeping eyes and heerated heart,
and exclaimed. "She did not
know there was such a thing as
death" She had never seen any
body dead; she had never been
targht that she had to die, knew
nothing of the shadowy land
or eternity, heaven OF hell; yet
thousands of dollars are annually
collected from the people and sent
to Christianize the "heathen Chi
nee," while in the mountain Sc
clusions the rough and illiteratt
inhabitants scratch the ground
shoot the deer, barb the trout
make and drink their whiskey
and are oblivious to the gospel o
Jesus. IGNORANCE is bliss" bu
there is a misdirection Of funds
and lack of discernmant in this
matter quite apparent. With th'
penetration of the Marietta anC
North Georgia railroad through
that section and influx of popula
ton, contact and intelligence will
dissipate this ignorance, as thu
rising sun scatters the mist Of the
morning. Progressive Christiani
ty must take Georgia whether
China is reclaimed or not.

Frederick Douglass, the colored
Recorder Of Deeds for the Dis

the Presidents reception last
night. He had with him young
4mulatto girl, his white wife and
her sister. As the venerable Fred
approached the President with
the colored girl OH his arm, Col.
Wilson, of the army, who was
making the presentations, an
nounced in loud voice:
"Mr. Frederick Douglass AMI

"No, this is my granddaughter,
Mr.. President" said Frederick,
correcting Col. Wilson. "This is
my wife," said he, introducing a
demure looking white woman at
tired in black silk gown orna-
mented with broad white collar.
The ladies Of the receiving par
ty, as well as all within hearing
of Col. Wilson's voice, turned
their attention to the remarkable
couple, and it is safe to say that
Fred. Douglass and his white
wife attracted more general at
tention and comment than. any
other couple present.

Not symptoms. but the Disease.

l. would seem to be truth APP
preciable by all, and especially by
professors OF the healing art, that
to remove the disease, not to allie
viate It's symptoms, should be the
chief aim Of medication. Yet in
how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ig-
nored in practice. The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is successful in 30 many
cases, with which remedies
previously tried were inadequate
to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is medicine which reach
es and removes the causes OF the
various lnaladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, g)ut rheu-
matism, disorder of the bowels,
urinary affections and other mala-
dies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the
fountain head. 1t is really, not
nominally, a radical remedy, and
it endows the system with an
amount Of vigor which is ITS best
protection against disease.

An Interesting, though Uneven-

~ COnteSteO Gdnes
The game of base ball between the Louis
vile and Los Angeles teams at the Sixth
street grounds yesterday afforded the spec
tators an opportunity of witnessing strict
ly first class exhibition of professional ball
playing.
The Louisville team is one OF the best in
the United States, having coped successfully
with the first clubs of the country and even
won laurels from the present champions OF
the world Their meeting with the Los An
geles team has been looked forward to with

BY Manager Degarmo to bring 1t about. The
result was the grounds were visited by as
large crowd yesterday as has assem- bled on
any week day during the season.

Another Great success.

The distribution of the Williamson Tract
yesterday was another success for the
Southern California Land Co.. Baker Block.
The chairman and committee chosen by the
lot-holders did their duty most thoroughly
and satisfactorily. and one of the fairest of
the young ladies of Los Angeles was chosen
to withdraw from box the names of the
purchasers In the tract. for the priority of
choice. Mrs NJ. E. Griffith, the widow of
Mr.. Griffith, of the San Gabriel Railway,
who was killed few months since, by
projecting water tank, was so fortunate as
to have her name fourth in the selection,
thus securing a beautiful cottage house and
lot worth at least $1,000. Mrs. Griffith has
several small children and was without
means. Col. Vernon, late of the Express,
Mr.. Hunsicker, formerly of Texas, and Mr..
N. L. BURNETT, a carpenter of this city, OBJ
tanned each a handsome cottage residence
and lot of the same value as that OF Mrs.
Grifith's.
And now will soon come the distribution
of the Howes Tract, with its costly improve
ments and nine charming villa residences.
