And heard the an vil ring its vesper chime ;
Then, looking in. I saw upon the floor ,
Old bammers worn wuu ueauug years ui,

"How many anvils have you had," said I
"To wear and batter all these hammers
'Just one," he answered ; lhen with twink

Most persons who . have known

his face, which are given even in the t
host campaign portraits,, are the nat
ural result of" an unwilling subject
for the artist. - He plainly shows that
the art of wreathing his features with
smile to make an attractive picture
has been neglected in his education.)
All of his portraits give him a heavy,'
obstinate appearan.ee, indicating a
sluggish temperament : and a slow
moving ' intellectual organization!
but if the photographer had caught
him unawares when in conver
sation he would have been pictured
as he really is a ready and delight-:
ful conversationalist and with a face:
that bears the uumistakable Impress
of frankness, manliness and uncom
mon keenness of perception. His
features are soft; his hair light au
burn, his eyes bright and merry and
he must at once teach . all who. meet
him that he is a stranger t? dissem
bling, lie bas abundant caution, but
h? does not shrink from possible mis
understanding, as Lincoln did; he
does not employ words to conceal
idea, but he talks freely and point
edly on subjects he chooses to discuss
and always means to be understood.
lie does not talk about the person
nel "f his Cabinet, for the good rea
son that he bas made no Cabinet and
is not likely to make one, or any part
of one, for weeks to come; nor does-
he declare any purpose or policy that
would provoke antagonisms and pos
sibly require reconsideration when he
. becomes President; but he discusses
with the iktnost candor and evidently
with pleasure all questions relating to
the public administration of the gov
ernment, lie is a natural business
Executive. He loves business fidelity,
he believes in business methods and
he will faithfully fulfil his publicly
. repealed pledge to conduct the ad
ministration of the government on
thorough business principles. He
does not' merely look to business ad
ministration as the; limit of his duty
in enforcing honest government. He
carries his business statesmanship to
the eslent of business legislation to
promotebeaUhy, and enduring busi
ness prosperity
He understands that tariff revision
is to be one of the duties of his ad
ministration, as the national plat-
forms of both parties have alike de-

businesslike way. He looks to the
legitimate and substantial revival of
all the legitimate business interests
of t he whole country as one of the

agreement, by. which the -sum of
$200 was given on tright to one of
jne paities ta the bet. Ihe "condition
being that he should pay the other
man one cent for one electoral -vote
- that Jackson should get over Clay;
.. two cents for two votes; four cents
for three; eight cents for four, sixteen
cents for five; thirty-two cents for
six, and so on, according to the ma
jority, if any, that Jackson might
get xn the ; electoral college. - ihe i
man to whom the "offer was made
incautiously lamped at it, and
eagerly took the $200; bat he foand
that he had obligated himself , for
more than he or all his friends could
ever pay.- The simplest ' arithmetic
will show that, by a rule of this
doubling up, even if the majority
had been bat twenty, it .would have
involved $5,242.88, to say nothing of
a majority ot mnety-nve.which-would
bankrupt all the Goulds and Vander-
bilts. .Even a majority of only thirty
would prodnce $5,368,709.12, while a
majority of thirty-six would involve
$343,597,383.68. if the majority oniy
reached forty, the man's obligation
would J already have monntea into

general scramble now going on
among Democrats for office it is gen
erally understood that Mr. Fabius H.
ISusbee, of this city, is to be United
States Attorney for the Eastern Dis
trict of this State. There are a num
ber of gentlemen who are waiting to
know if Mr. Busbee will accept the
appointment. ; ihe emoluments are
small, and it is not known that Mr.
Busbee desires the place. . If he does
not, Messrs. li. 13. Ireebles, of -.Nor
thampton county; Thomas btrange,
of- Wilmington;- C. B. Ay cock, of
Goldsborough, and others will be ap
plicants for the office. The appoint
ment for Postmaster for italeigh is
generally conceded to Capt. Samuel
A. Ashe, editor of the daily News-
Observer. At first there was a host
of applicants, but all of them appear
to have given way , for -Capt. Ashe.
The omce.is worth $3,000 per year,
With slight work for the Postmaster,
which will give Capt. Ashe sufficient
time to look after his paper, and thus
serve the Democratic party and the
Government at the same time.

The reports of this institution': are
made by Dr. E. Burke Haywoodt
President of the ISoard of Directors
and by Dr. Eugene Gnssom, the Su
perintendent, and are - for the year
ending Nov. 30, 1885. Dr.. Haywood
says the board are anxious to receive
all acutely insane patients as soon as
possible. The number of admissions
exceeded that of any previous year.
In the eastern district of the State,
comprising fifty-six . counties, ; as
signed to this asylum, there are 850
white insane. This asylum cannot
accommodate more than 2o0 patients.
The wards are constantly crowded,
five-sixths of the cases being chronic.
In view of this fact the Board of
Directors request the Legislature to
make an - appropriation to in
crease the hospital accommoda
tions for the insane in this district.
They also request.the amendment of
the Code so as to relieve them of the
burden of keeping the harmless in
curables when ordered to be '. trans
ferred to their counties of settle
ment. '-The expenditures for the
asylum during the past two years
have been greater, and the improve
ments and repairs much more exten
sive than anticipated. . . I - -
Dr. tirissom's report says that the
total number of admissions since the
opening of the asylum, February 22,
1856, is 1,626; the total . number of
discharges 1,383; of these 428 were
cured; 296 unimproved, and 449
died, leaving now under treatment
243. There have been under treafr1
ment during the' year 149 males and
156 females; a total of 305. The
past year the percentage of cures
were .24; of deaths .04. some fig
ures presented,- giving the startling
increase in insanity, may be referred
to. The total number of : insane re
ported in North Carolina is 2,028, of
which 1,591 are white and 438 colored.
The two asylums for whites now
cared f or about 450, leaving 1,141
without such ' care; - and the asylum
for colored, at. Goldsboro, cares for
200, leaving 219 uncared for. . The

The Chronicle sees no possible or
practical ' good to . result from an
amendment of the Railroad, law in
Georgia unless the ' power to make
rates over their own roads for there
own business is vested 1 in the "rail
road themselves. Any, other course
is ' unwise and unwarranted. . The
railroad problem is one of the most
delicate now before the people.- The'
management of railroad property is
most important, for the value of
these interests, whether considered
as private Drooertv. as common car
riers. or as publio developers, is mo
mentous. I: If left to the laws of sup
ply and .demand, the character of the
service rendered or the nature of the
-traffic, the railroads will be able to
furnish best accommodation to the
public and to most carefully guard
their great ' interests. Any other
policy will prove disastrous. The
plan of imposing upon railroad man
agements rates - which have ;-- been
made up by outside and independent
influences is tyrannical it is agra
rian.; . . ;:i;;-.-'',,:j r.:";
The Chronicle has never opposed
the establishment or continuance of
the commission. It is satisfied that
such a body acting as an arbiter be
tween the railroads and the public
might prevent .unjust discrimination
ana remove extortion, mere are
many cases of abuse which might be
adjusted and corrected by such a
body acting in such a spirit. By
them the rates of, the railroads could
be. revised whenever complaint is
made, ana from tnem tbe proper
procedure for : appeal could be sup-:
plied, t More than- this public wel
fare does . not require, and further
than this publio statutes should not
obtrude. The sooner this system of
public spoliation is remedied by the
General Assembly the better for, the
honesty of our people and the honor
of ueorgia.
It is our deliberate conviction that
unless the railroads are ' granted re
lief by the legislature it is only a
question- of time . when they will be
forced to go into bankruptcy. -

CLEVELAND'S LETTER, i
. -N Y World, Dem.,
; The President-elect promulgates
no new, doctrine and takes no sud
den position. He stands where he
has always stood, the , advocate of
genuine, practical Civil Service xte
form. The only . thing novel in his
present declaration is that it comes
at this time. It has been the com
mon practice of candidates to am-t
'm - - . - n r - : - 1 .! '
piny reiorm ' views ueiore uibchuu
and to be silent: after election. But
it is a characteristic of Gov. Cleve
land -that he speaks -' at all -times
truthfully and- seriously and means
what he savs. Two points are cov
ered in the i letter. A Civil Service
law was passed by the votes of both
political parties. It is now on the
statute book. . Public sentiment calls
for its enforcement. The Governor;
in his blunt,' fearless ; way, seeks to
rid . himself of importunate office-
seekers by reminding them : that
while Democrats will receive ' all
proper consideration and pref erence,
their claims to offices not embraced
within-the Civil Service 5 rules will
depend vpon ascertained - fitness and
not upon 'persistent ; importunity or.
self -solicited recommendations.
' Philadelphia Record, Ind. t
Gov. Cleveland's straightforward
and" explicit reply to the Civil Service
Reform -League will removeuch
doubt in the public mind concerning
the policy of his administration in re-
gard to removals from office. Whilst
declaring that he - will - enforce the
principles of civil service Teform, be
distinctly says that he wiljl make, an
exception , of. "those . who , have tor-j
feited all, just claim to retention be
cause they have used their places for
party in aisregara 01 tneir aucy 10
the people, and because, instead of
being decent public servants, they
have proved ; themselves offensive
partisans and unscrupulous manipu
lators of local party management."
This covers the whole ground, and
ought to satisfy the most ardent
friend of civil service reform. With-;
out the large exception which the
'President-elect makes, reform of the
civil service would be out of the
question. : . L
Savannah News, -Don. -
As Mr. Cleveland is a very stub
born man, and doesn't turn back
when he thinks he is right, it is safe
to assume that the civil service ; law
will find in him a firm friend.' ! He
has views, however, about who oome
under the provisions of the law. j He
doesn't think that the men Who Were
obnoxiously partisan in the late cam
paign have any claim to be retained
under a Democratic administration.
As about four-fifths of the govern
ment employes took a very lively in
terest in the campaign in behalf v of
Blaine there will be enough places
made vacent to supply a pretty fair
per cent, of Democrats who are
hoping to get governments.' There
is little - encouragement', in the letter
for Republican officials who do not
come under the - civil service law.
They will have to go.

1 Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 31. A series
of experiments are now in progress, the
result 01 which will be awaited with in
terest by tne scientiuc as well as tne agri
cultural world. The series is triangular,
one point being at the Department of Agri
culture; another at Johns Hopkins Univer
sity, Baltimore, and the third at the office
of Dr.? Reeves, Executive Officer of the
West Tirginia Health - Board. The first
result achieved has been the discovery that
the germ of nog cholera is the specific germ
bScUlusi and can be reproduced. If the
experiments verify tbe present hopes, hogs
ana omer aniauis may De inocuiatea witn
the virus of cholera, and by producing in
them the disease in anrild form, the ravages
by the plague ia Us &tal shape may be pre
vented. Already caltlfl may bo inoculated
for Texas fever.and pleuro-ppeumonia,and
Dr. Reeves has the strongest hopes of the
same result with cholera.' The. disease is
now raging through Belmont county, and
