JUDGE AMAsA J. PARKER died at Albany
Tuesday night, aged tighty-three years.
He was born in Sharon, Conn. He grad
uated from Union College, and in 1888
was elected a member of the New York
Assembly from Delaware county. In 1886
lie was elected to Congress from the
Twentieth district. He was appointed
Circuit Judge in 1874, and was elected
Supreme Court Judge in 1S47, in 1855 and
in 1868. He was one of the judges of the
Court of Appeals in 1866. He was twice
the Democratic candidate for Governor of
New York. He was beaten by John A.
King in 1856, and in 1868 by L. d. Nor
gan. During the last years of his life he
practsed law with his son, General
Amasa j. Parker, Jr., at Albany
Although he was in feeble health, Judge
Parker's death was sudden, and is thought
to have been hastened by excitement over
the trouble in the Albany City Bank, of
which he was director.

POST-NUPT1AL.

Before the glowing anthracite,
That still reflects enchanting dreams,
Come, dearest, sit by me tonight,
And Danish thoughts Of household themes.
OF perfect peace this is the goal,
The sweet fulillment of the joy,
That in the red, prophetic coal,
Ipictured when a love struck boy.
A many mooded girl were you
In those delicious virgin days,
So mutable hardly knew
The way to WOO, and wooed all ways
Your moods enhanced your words to me;
Be changeful still, will not chide;
Why should a sweetheart's fancies he
Less captivating in bride?
What if the dimple hearted pinks
Have faded from your cheeks? l find
Them in richer bloom, methinks,
Within the garden of your mind,
You are the diviner now forsooth,
Than in the ante-nuptial timel
When in the tropic heat Of youth
sang your praise in ardent rhyme
May nobler Inspirations spring
From love made perfect by the years
And may your laureate live TO sing
Songs more delightful to your ears.

There was pair of wooden clogs, with
Arabic inscriptions on them, which were
sent to Mr.. Ward by Tippo Tib as a kind
of Christmas card. The only way to
keep them on your feet is to grasp peg,

two of your toes. The fortunate Central

TIE bill granting a pension to Mrs.
Della T. Stewart Parnell passed the House
on Friday, with an amendment which
cuts down the pension from $1,000 to 5000.
Against this reduction Congressman Cum
mings made spirited protest, bringing
out very clearly the fact that the pension
is granted not because Mrs. Parnell is the
mother of the Irish leader, but because
she is the daughter of one of the most
heroic, devoted and distinguished sailors
that eve rservcd in the American navy.

TIE selection of Hon. Richard Naux
by the Democrats of the third Con
gressional district in convention Monday
is a very happy solution of very vexed
condition of things that convulsed the
party of that district for some time. In
regard to Mr.. VauX the Philadelphia
Times says; There is no truer Demo-
crat, none of higher character and none
of more distinguished abilities In Phila-
delphia than Richard Vaux." He is in
every respect qualified to fill the position
to which he has been nominated. The
opposition being pushed to the wall for
arguments, try to make capital of the fact
that Mr.. Vaux has reached the age Uf
seventy years. Many public men have
done years of faithful and able service
after having reached that age. And GER
tainly no public man at his age was ever
stronger physically and mentally than is
Mr., VauX.

The Emperor of Germany has his cards
like other moItals. They are very simple,
although those of the German nobility are
generally very highly decorated with crests
and crowns. The royal cards have abso-
lutely no ornamentation. In plain gothic
letters they read Wilhelm, German
Emperor and King of Prussia.

SMOKING MOUNTAINS.

Reports received at Ashville, N.
c., from number of reliable citi.
zens in the neighborhood OF Bee
Tree creek, altributary of the Suwan-
nee river, twelve miles east of that
city state that tor the third time
since the Charleston earthquake
smoke has for some days been regu-
larly emitted in considerable volume
from seven mountain peaks of the
Blue Ridge chain. The peaks have
become to be designated "the seven
smoking mountains" The occur
ence has excited the entire region
in which the smoke is visible and
many of the people are alarmed.
j. w. Boone, a highly respectable
citizen of the Bee Tree Greek neigh
borhood, has given an account Of
his observations of the phenomenon.
He says that for the past two weeks
each morning about 9 o'clock vast
columns of black smoke rises to a
height of about 300 feet have issued
from Walch Knob, Rocky Knob,
and FIVE other Blue Ridge mountain
peaks, which are visible from Bee
Tree creek. Some people of the
neighborhood visited the mountains
and found that the smoke as it issu-
ed from the peaks has a strong sui.
pnuric cdor.
Boone says that these peaks for
the first time were observed to be
smoking, in October the year of the
Charleston earthquake. That year
the smoking lasted two weeks. 1t
then ceased until last year, when
for thee weeks, beginning i'll Sep
TENDER, the peaks were again in a
state OF activity. This year the
phenomenon lasted two weeks and
has been witnessed by more than 200
people, many of whose names Boone
gives.
An effort is being made to have
Prof. D. Smith, geologist of Ma,
con county, and Gen. l.. Clingman
investigate the matter, as many peo-
pie have become so alarmed that
they say they will leave the neigh
borhood.

GORDON FOR SENATOR.

The Dalton Argus voices our SEN
timents in words of patriotic wisdom.
There has never been time since
Gov. Gordo has been known as a
candidate for U. S. Senator, in
which there was moment of doubt
or danger as to his succession of
Senator Brown.
The people of Georgia are respon-
sible for this, not because of his
pre- eminent superiority of other
Georgians, either'in war or in peace;
but because circumstances have
contributed to making him an ideal
character in the hearts of all South
erners. lie is merely a central
type of that heroism in war, and of
that lofty patriotism in peace, which
has lifted our section above and
beyond the cringing attitude of a
hopeless and helpless conquered
province.
1t is part of our Southern ma
ture to indulge in overlooking ad-
miration of ideal characters, and the
very tact that his defeat would give
semblance of qualification to our
enemies, fixes his tenure of perms-
nent political preferment.
Those who have beat the bushes
into shreads, in an attempt to jump
up active opposition to him, have
done so with an eye to making men
of straw for the vain-glory Of ram
pant destruction.

PERSONAL POLITICS.

Bob Toombs, whatever may have
been his errors of impulse, had the
gift of embodying great truths in
eplgrammatic. forceful language,
says Americas Times.
Soon after the return of the dem
ocratic party of the state to power,
after the notified array of Republi-
cans that had robbed AMI plumber.
ed the state were driven from pow
er, he said that the great danger
that confronted the state was the
Inauguration of an era of strictly
personal politics. With almost pro-
phetic foresight he outlined the re-
suits that have followed and he de-
scribed with vigor and distinctness
the very state of affairs that he has
been dominant. The reason he gave
for his prediction were clear, logical
and unanswerable. In the absence
of vital principle, save the instinct
that sought to save the common
wealth from African supremacy,
men would come to the front and
urge their claims for preferment
solely on the grounds of personal fit
ness or personal achievement, or
perfunctory. Their friends would
take up the refrain promise and all
the changes on these points, and
their opponents would of course
take the opposite course. Indis-
criminate praise would call for in
discriminate calumny, illtime pans
OF praise would call tor equally ILL
timed vituperation. If public per-
formances were urged as a reason
for promotion, private derelictions
would be urged as a counter claim.
Georgia has had feast of such
things, and it would be hard to say
which have made the most violent
departures from the truth, the
friends that posed their heroes as
demigods, or the enemies that ran
sacked the vocabulary of vitupera.
ton for the language strong enough
to Offset what the other side had
said.
AS matter Of truth both sides
were wrong, but it is impossible to
make personal partisans reasonable
IN their claims, or personal or po-
litical enemies conservative in their
positions and language.
In the den and confusion of such
Numerically opposed utterances
and policies, it is impossible to care
fully and accurately weigh merits
and adjust the average.
Real worth is so exaggerated that
it is not recognizable, and petty
mistakes are distorted into great
political crimes. Personal disclaim-
ers and personal appeals become SO
urgent that modesty and good taste
are lost sight of, and personal re-
ordinations and passionate personal
attacks become so rabid that they
verge very closely on criminal IL
bel.
1t is easy to see that between
these two evils, and they are un-
doubtedly grave ones, the tone and
manner of treatment of public as
pirants and public officials smacks
more of the prize ring than of the
forum where brave and honorable
gentlemen meet to discuss grave

money. When Governor Hovey
applied tor his last quarters salary,
it was refused, on the ground that
