A POLITICAL RUMOR.

We hear rumor that Senator
Joseph L. Brown, owing to i'll
health, will resign in time for the
Legislature in July to elect his sue
cessor. Governor John B. Gordon,
it is said, will be a candidate tor
Senator. If Gordon is elected, of
which there would be no doubt,
T. q. DuBignon, president of the
Senate, would be Governor until
another election could be had, which
would give DuBignon a decided adj
vantage for the nomination tor Gov
ernor. A number of papers are
advocating Northern for Governor
two years from now. Northern is a
most excellent man and the State
will not be hurt by his election.
The political waters are certainly
being stirred by the politicians, and
combinations are being formed for a
number of offices. The premature
activity in these matters doubtless
originates from the idea that the
"early bird catches the worm" We
are glad we don't love "worms."

HUNT Sc CO.

Half million people in China
are without food and many thou
sands without shelter. One district
300 miles long and $50 miles wide
has been dried up by drought, while
another region has been flooded by
the Yellow river and the people
driven from their homes. An APP
peal has been made to the people OF
the United States Cor relief and New
York is moving in the matter. Lon
don is also at work. Unless aid is
soon sent to them the unhappy vic
tins will die by the thousands.
This is the first time Chinese officers
have asked aid from foreigners,
which shows how desperate is their
need.

INDIVIDUALITY.

n gentleman remarked IN our
hearing the other day that cit was
strange how some men allowed
others to do their thinking for them"
Just so, And sometimes a man has
his individuality completely swal-
lowed up by others. In place of
being themselves, they masquerade
as other persons. Mind will pre-
dominate over matter, because of
its divine essence; and, therefore,
the individuality OF man should
be exalted on account of its like
ness-being made in the image of
God. But how often have you seen
the mind of superior mould do the
thinking for the inferior? Some
men, through force of circumstances,
allow themselves to be controlled
by fear, favor, prejudice or hate.
They are afraid to assert their in
dlviduality, consequently they are
as clay in the hands of the potter,
their opinions and actions being
shaped and moulded in accordance
to the dictation and desire of their
menacing boss. If they have an
honest conviction on subject or
believe in vital principle for The
welfare OF society, they haven't the
moral courage to avow or maintain
it, until their oracle speaks, ap-
proves or condemns. Such charac-
ters, while in many instances are
personally clever, allow themselves
to be reduced to a cipher in the
mathematical problem of human
hte-mere puppets to be pulled by
the strings OF selt-interest, greed or
revenge. The JOURNAL always has
~ profound sympathy for a man of
smothered principles and convic-
tons, which are kept under cover
and seldom aired in the healthy
! sunlight of true manhood.
When God made man He indiyid-
ualized him, set him in motion.
wonderfully endowed in mind and
body, and evidently designed that
he should speak and act for himself,
personally responsible and accounta-
bic, not to mere man, but to the
Creator as an individual. If God
wanted man to be a machine, an
automaton, He would have so or
dered but, endowed as rational
and intelligent being, capable of the
grandest achievements in inventive
genius and mechanism, with soul
destined to live through the eternal
ages, man should so fortify himself
with the strong purpose of right, to
act from the best impulses of an en-
lightened conscience, courteous but
firm, generous but impartial, with
malice toward none and due regard
for the rights and opinions of all,
and then his individuality of char
acter will stand forth like FURNISHED
steel, panoplied in the rectitude of
honest motives and intentions, and
respected for true worth and manly
identity.

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, is an inveterate hater OF the
South. In the committee room on
Friday last, he told Senator Black
burn, of Kentucky, II don't intend
to be bulldozed by any such slave
driver as you Blackburn told
him he was q coward and scoun-
drel, when Chandler said that he
dare not hit him, but Blackburn
picked him up by the ear and was in
the act of throwing hin against the
wall, when Senator Faulkner pre-
vented it by putting his arms around
Blackburn. Chandler is not a gen
tleman as his taunts and insults
show.

As Mrs. Livermore passed down the ward,
almost overpowered by the sickening OdOr,
she stopped by the bed of a soldier whose feet
had been amputated Wounded at the begin
ming of the battle he had sunk into the mud,
which had frozen so hard that he had to be
cut out from it, after lying on the field two
days and nights.
WHO was to blame for such neglect?' asked
Mrs. Livermore, indignant because she knew
nothing of war.
"Oh. they couldn't be bothered with US.
They had to take the fort" said the brave,
patient sufferer. We didn't expect anybody
to see after us till that was done"
" Did you think OF that while you lay there
freezing those two nights?" asked Mrs. Liver
more.
"Of course - he answered careIessly. We
knew we should be taken care of as soon as the
fort surrendered. We wounded were as anx-
ious for that as were the fellows who were
fighting, and we all chcerod when the fort
showed the white flag.

Farmer Crowder had finished planting bis
corn, but his heart was heavy. He knew the
crows were whetting their bills to pull up the
corn as soon as it appeared above the surface
" tell you how to get away with the crows"
said neighbor Stokes.
"How?"
"Get you gallon of mean whisky and soak
some corn il it till it gets fall of the stuff, and
then scatter it broadcast in the field. The
black rascals will eat it and get drunk, and
then you can catch 'em and pull their heads
off. That beats pizen or shootin'."
In few days Farmer Crowder met his friend
Stokes

Editors atlanta Constitution: Gentlemen
In regard to an article in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE of Nov 20 copied from your paper,
entitled One Way to Strengthen a Cable" I
would say there is nothing the matter with
Luccs Rules page 232 and 253. Both are all
right. The trouble is with your arithmetic
man. He is as much of on percentage as some
of your Southern people are on counting votes.
Suppose your cable link, without the bar,
will hold up 1900 pounds, and with the bar
one-quarter more viz, $500 pounds Now take
out the bar, and the strength is reduced one
fifth of $500 pounds, which is 500 pounds,
bringing us back where we started to 1900
pounds strength Whas is the matter with this
explanation? Give US something harder

The Elmira Ref0rmatOry was affected By the

plan which works wonders. lie organized q

has eight companies, full complement Of Oil

wonderful fling and drumming qualities. The
boys drill nearly eight hours day. The prison
IS now practically military camp, with COM
pauy streets, officers headquarters and all other
departments Of a military post in time of war.
The men are repaired to do all the duty they

Harry and Jack surveyed the scene and formed
their plans. Having nothing else to do, the
five horses OF the guerrillas were inclined 10
