CLEMENTS.

Congressman Clements, OF Geor-
gia, has made a ten strike in his in
telligent and determined protest
against the present system of civil
service in public matters.
There are some features of the
plan of civil service reform that have
great value. There are features that
work badly. Mr.. Clements has made
a minority report favoring the re-
peal of the present civil service law,
the majority report being against the
repeal.
He takes the ground that the
grave abuses which grew up under
the Republican rule" do not demand
or justify the plea embodied in the
civil service law. Any attempt to
limit the Presidents power of APP
pOintment or removal is not valid
law, and can only operate through
executive acquiescence. The act
places the power of appointment in
the hands of commissioners, supposed
to be non-partisans, who apply hair
splitting tests, unnecessary to the
practical ascertainment of the fitness
of applicants. The most serious OBJ
lection to it is that it tends towards
permanent office holding community.
utterly at variance with American
spirit. In conclusion, the report at
tacks the present system of the dis
tribution of appointments to States,
and declares that if we are to have a
permanent official community, it
should be organized on better ba-
sis, but the most direct way to re-
form would be through the repeal of
the law.-AtlaDta Capitol.
Congressman Clements is receiving
deserved praise for his able speech on
the "silver money" question, and his
courageous minority report asking
the repeal of the civil service COM
mission. 1t gives him a national
fame. The minority is strongly put
together.

The senate on yesterday passed
the Edmunds resolutions. The vote
on the third resolution of the series,
which was the one refusing to con
firm nominations when papers were
refused, was adopted by vote of 80
to 20, Mitchell, Riddleberger and
Van Wyck voting with the democra is.
Now that the republican majority has
adopted the resolutions, what will it
gain -? The president has announced
his determination to stand firmly by
his policy, and he is not the man to
yield when he knows he is backed
by the people. 1t is very apparent
that several more of the republican
senators will desert Mr.. Edmunds
when it comes to refusing to confirm
nominations, and the vote yesterday
simply meals that they will first try
to bull-doze the president.

..GAThERlNG HOME ;,

Annie Glare, the sweet little daughter of Thos
/. and Mary Lou Bussey, transferred from this
life TO that better and brighter life above Sunday
morning, March 2lst, aged two years and three
months Our sad hearts are realizing that
"lhe brightest star see,
Sets earliest in the summers FURNISHED sky,
And soonest from the tall and yerdant tree,
The sweetest flowers perform their part and die 4"
How dark and cherries would this life he with its
tears and gloom and graves without the light and
love of divine inspiration revealing to us through
our tears sunlight cline, where the weary shall
rest and the heart forget to sigh and eyes weep
nosmore forever. Yet
The gloomiest day hath CLEANS of light
The darkest wave hath white foam near it,
And wrinkles through the cloudest night
Some solitary star 10 cheer it,"
We stood beside the lifeless form and looked upon
the cold marble brow of the dear little girl The
smile OF the angel who had kissed her away from GU
arms fingered upon her face. aud the sweet song
and the prattle of childhood will come back to us
all along the journey life, and we will think of
her now as our child among the happy tbrong on
the other shore and know that she still loves u.s. and
we will read with new inspiration: "Sufer little
children aud forbid them not to come unto me for
of such is the kingdom Of heaven"
Yes thank God,
The gloOmiest hour is not all gloom,
The saddest heart is not all sadness,
And swecty DER the darkest door
There shines some lingering beam OF gadness ("

The island of Juan Fernandez, up
on which Alexander Selkirk, the pro-
totype of Robinson Crusoe, spent his
four solitary years, has never since
been inhabited until twelve years
ago, when the present Governor Rodt
settled upon it with small colony.
Rodt is Switzer. In 1866 he fought
for Austria against the Prussians,
and in 1870 for France. After the
defeat of the French he emigrated to
Chill and made himself useful to the
Government, at whose invitation he
undertook the colonization Of Robin
son Crusoe's lonely island. Here he
has resided for the last twelve years
as Governor and Judge. Most of the
settlers over whom he presides are
German and Swiss. Nearly all the
vegetation of the temperate zone
thriyes upon Juan Fernandez.

Rome's sensation has changed from
suicides to female shoplifters. Mrs.
Adelia Adams and Mrs. Lucy Adams,
of Cave Springs were detected steal
ing some articles from one of the
most prominent dry goods merchants.
On being arrested they were found
to have a sack well filled with shoes,
stockings, shirts handkerchief, snuff
and various other notions. These
women visited every store in the city
and asked to be shown goods, stating
that their husbands would be along
soon and settle. 1t is evident that
they are expert shoplifters. Both
were bound over.

At Homer, Bank Superior Court,
last week, many cases of Importance
were investigated and disposed of,
one of which was the long standing
case of Joseph Patterson, charged
with cutting his wife's throat. Joe
and his wife were present, and she
being the only witness, refused to
testify against him and the trouble
was detached from the docket on pay
ment of costs, etc. So soon as the
master was settled Joe and his wife
again parted, but will likely be to-
gether again III two weeks.

On Saturday Arlington was the
scene of horrid murder. Aaron
England hailed Ross Butler as he
was going down the street to Mrs.
Bowls, and accused him of killing
his (England's) dog, and INDUCED in
rough language generally. Butler
slapped him on the shoulder and told
him to stop, when England drew his
knife and stabbed Butler in the heart,
killing him instantly. The verdict
of the Coroner's jury was murder.
The murderer is still at large. Both
parties are colored.

Rev Elijah Northcutt, so well and favorably
known In upper Georgia, is no more in the walks Of
men. At exactly noUn Tuesday the 23d inst, at
the home OF his SON. +, H. Northcutt. six miles
south of Marietta, he fell quietly and peacefully
asleep in Jesus. The funeral services were condue-
ted by Rev. y. Is, Vaughn, Jr., at Mars Hill ceme-
terry, from which we gather the following facts :
Our dear brother was born April 18th, 1877; pro-
teSSCd hope in Christ and was baptized by Ed 4
Burke into the fellowship of Concord Church Cobb
county, Ca, in lS4O and soon thereafter was or
dained to the gospel kministry by Presbyters Eds
T. Burke and Parker Rice. For fun forty years, he
was actively engaged in the work he loved SO well
nor did he labor in vain 1t is estimated that not
less than two thousand persons were converted un-
der his ministry, and by him were buried with
Christ in baptism.
His power lay not so much in the oratory Of the
pulpit as in the oratory OF the closet. He emf
nently man of prayer, and relied on the power of
the Holy spirit to make his preaching etIectual.
sui he was preacher OF no gifts. Being OF a
modest and retiring nature, he was not so extern
sNely known as many who are less gifted than he
was. In him the word of God dwelt richly with wis
DOM he loved the story OF the and in his hap
piest moments few could portray with greater effect
To sinners, the wonderful love OF dying Savior. He
was man OF firm convictions, and great force of
character. Quiet and unassuming rs he was, when
ever occasion demanded ii strength and heroism OF
a great soldier was manifested in him. He was the
very soul of honor and in his heart OF hearts, he
loathed that which was false.
A few years ago he went to spend some time with
his children in eastern Texas, and while there on
the 2nd day OF August 1882 he buried his aged Wife
who through many battles Of life was his stay
and comfort. lie leaves seven children, two broth
erS, A. II, Northcu;t, of Acworth and j. j. North
eutt, of Marietta, and host OF relatives who will
miss his wise counsel and wholesome words of con-
ISOLATION But in their berea yement they are great
" blessed. While he has not left them great earth
~ POSSESSIONS he has left them the heritage of a
long and eminently useful Christian life. The
grace he loved TO preach while living, was his
strength aud comfort while dying.
His example OF patient continuance in well doing
and unmurmuring submission to trials of both body
and spirit his constant faith his meek hopefulness
his yearuing love tor his family, blended with be-
lieviug resignation, will abide perpetual influence
ia the home OF his children and two aged brothers
TO strengthen and revive them.
