C, last Thursday after-, noon at the "age of 79 years. He was ofie of the oldest men in the Senate, having first been elected in 1877 and had held his seat continuously since. He was one of -the finest and ablest parliamentarians in that body and a recognized leader of the Democratic side of the chamber. He was governor of his State during the late war and made a' reputation as a brave and fearless leader of the Confederacy. . He begaii his public career early in life and it is said was never defeated by an' opponent before the people. He was loved by his people be cause he was one of them and al ways proved faithful to the trusts entrusted to his care. His remains were taken to Memphis, Tenn., for burial.

Some Old Newspapers- Three years ago The Morning Advertiser of London celebrated the hundredth year of its exis tence. I he Morning Advertiser was started in 1794 by a societv oi uonuon licensed victuallers, T 1 " 1- -i .' 1 it its primary object being to raise a fund for "the relief of their decayed and distressed brethren and their families." and each member pledged himself jto take the paper. This arrangement made the paper more than self- supporting from its birth. At the time of the celebration, three years ago, .a computation showed that there were atT that time no fewer than seventy-nine newspapers in Great Britain which had passed the century line. One of the oldest in Lon don was The Post, established in 1772 more- than (twenty years before The Advertiser Which boasts of being the old est daily m that city. The Times first made its appearance in 178o, The Standard in 1827, The News in 1846 and the Tele graph in 1855. : Though England has a larger number of hundred-year-old pa pers than any other European country, it has fewer very older papers than the republic of France. The. Gazette, of Paris, was established in 1632, and The Moniteur and Journal des Debats in 1789, during the French revolution, or, at the beginning of it. rather, publi- On this continent the cation of newspapers is general ly admitted to have began with The Boston News Letter, on April 24, 1704. In 1719 The Boston Gazette was-started as a rival to The News Letter. The New England Courant ajppeared in 1721, and in 1732 The. Rhode Island Gazette,- On October 16, 1725, the first newspaper in New York city, The Gazette, was started, and in 1730 The Weekly Journal came out . In England the general rule is the older the paper the larger its influences and the greater the circulation, whereas' in the United States, though it cannot be said that the reverse, of this is the ride, age as an element of newspaper influence counts for yery. little, aiid it not infre quently happens that the oldest paper in a town has, if j not the least influence, often the" small- est circulation. In growing. neighborhoods, and especially in cities, the population of which is rapidly increasing, the competition among newspapers for the acquisition of new read ers, as well as for the retention of old' patrons, is very! active, and a journal which jdepends chiefly on its former readers and their successors is apt to fall behind in the race for prece. dence. In the city of Philadel phia,' for instance, TIiq North American, a newspaper not very. well known to New York ers, was established in 1784, whereas The Ledger,, which nearly all New Yorkers have heard of, was established half a century laterin 1836. The Inquirer was established in 1829, and The Bulletin jin 1847, but some of the papers better known outside of Philadelphia are of more recent date bf estab lishment. The Press was start ed in 1857, and The Record in 1870, and The Times in 1875, and these are three of the Phil adelphia papers most frequently quoted. Atlanta Constitution.

Get a book and as required by law. ' The Bon rd will apportion the capita. There is no way now ot ascertaining now many chil dren there are in each township.' You will, therefore, have to ake a complete and accurate census of all- the chil dren of both races in your township. Be careful that no children on the borders of the townships are overlooked or counted twice. If any school districts in your it is the opinion of the Board of Education that, unless the mon ey is taught out before January 1st, 1898, it may have to be ap portioned to all the schools in the township. I would advise, therefore that all such districts either have their schools begin soon, or, at least, in time to be oiit lief ore January 1st. In August (Tuesday after will be held in every township or hot the voters are willing to one hundred dollar's worth Of ery poll to be applied to the school fund of that township. If a majority of the votes in your township shall be "For Schools," thenevery citizen of your townsliip will be required" to pay ten: cents on every one hundred dollar's worth of" property and thirty cents on each poll. Now, whateyer amount your township raises by this special tax, the State wl give that same amount to the schools Of your township. If, however, your taxes should amount to more than $500, the State will not give more than $500. This presents a fine opportunity for us to help the schools of our county.! Let us do all we can to carry every township in the county. If the special tax is carried, it will lengthen the school term from five to six weeks. Here are three men in my own township : Mr. A's tuition in my school, though rates are low, is $12.00 a month, for six weeks $18.00. His part of the special tax amounts $1.20. Mr. B's tuition for six weeks ?$.ll. 25 ; his tax, 80 cents. Mr. C's tuition for six weeks $13.56 ; his tax 60 cents. Will such a vote pay?' But Messrs. A. B. and C.I not only make great benefit to themselves, but at the same time, without hurting themselves, they give to the more than 300 .-children of this township six weeks of school. Who can tell! the influence of that school in the lives of 300 children? Can its good be ascertained short of eternity ? Not all of them will use it well, but some, yea many, will be stimulated andrwill rise to thank some one for a chance to become useful. 300 children iii school for six weeks is the same as one child in school for 1800 weeks,: 450 months, or 45 boys and? girls in school for one year. Will it pay to' make a small investment like this in the minds of poor boys and girls? To give a correct answer look outside, of self and look to eter nity. I - , . In conclusion, may I hot ask your hearty sympathy and may I not count on having yoirr earnest co-operation in every undertaking that looks toward 'improving the schools of our county, both public and private? I love my people not only for what they have done for me anil what I have tried to do for them, but because tbere are no better people in the world. Poor in money, but rich in bright boys and girls, with God-given tal ents and pure spotless characters, we are not too poor to save our youth from the slavery of ignorance for God and the country.

Items of Interest to the La dies, FURNISHED BY OUR Correspondent. FRETING. This condition is not confined to the women by any means but extends to the men as well, ev en business men being some times afflicted with it ; but this is the exception; and not the rule. After all, what good does fretting do? It only increases with indulgence, like anger, or apjjfiiite, or love, or any other numan impulse. It deranges tne temper, excites unpleasant feelings towards everybody and confuses the mind. It 1 affects the whole person, unfits one for the proper completion of the work whose trifling interrup tion or disturbance started the fretful fit. Granted that things go wrong to-day, the to-mor rows are coming in which to try again, and the thing is not worth clouding your own spirit and depressing those around you, injuring yourself and them physically for the mind affects the body and for such a trifle. It is far better to strive to- cul tivate a spirit of patience, and this step will never be regretted, for it will not only add to your own happiness, but the example of your conduct will affect those with whom you associate and in whom you are interested. Suppose somebody does make a mistake, suppose you are cross ed or a trifling accident occurs, o fly into a fretful mood will not mend things, but, on the contrary, helps to hinder the attainment of what you wish. Then when a thing is beyond repair, waste no useless regret over it, and do no idle fretting. btnve for that serenity of spirit that will enable you to make the best of all things. This contentment is the true' hap piness of life. SYMPATHY. What is the peculiar quantity which some persons possess that makes us turn to them when we are in trouble, while we as naturally think from, others whose friendship for us may be quite as sincere. Some one has said that 'there are persons who are as much out of place in a house where there is illness or death as would Perhaps these may be the peo ple who, never having suffered themselves, do not know how to sympathize with those who suffer. Their one idea" In '.the presence of grief is to make the mourner forget her sorrow a thing which is manifestly im impossible. They talk lightly, even merrily, of indifferent mat ters, and avoid all reference to the trouble which presses like a I weight upon the sufferer's heart. Such frivolous and incongruous chat jars upon the sensitive ear. It depresses rather than soothes. To sympathize intelligently one must be tactful. But even be yond having tact, one should possess that tender-heartedness that feels another's woe. When we are in trouble the riend we want is the one to who we can talk ours trouble out. There is comfort in speak ing of it. It ceases then to be a hidden pain which we must bear alone We can not forget it, and try to hide it under light conversation is agony. The true sympathizer may gently and judiciously lead the talk in to other channels and awaken our interest in topics which are not wholly incongruous to our present state of mind ; but she does not feign forgetf ulness of our grief. There is much said to the effect that words of condolence do not lighten sorrow. They may not lighten it but they make it the easier to bear. And words are not all, for he whose pity and desire to comfort are genuine will convey in a hand clasp, alook, a tone of the voice more genuine sympathy than can be expressed in the most eloquent language. The mental arid spiritual at titude insensibly convey, much to the sufferer that words must lairo nrA'T-krfisfd . . i Yet this -si aJ ;fa nrnrtH oi soothing And healing none the less effectively because t falls so gently and unobtrusive ly on the wounded heart. Se--; lected. HOME MAKING. To become a successful home maker, a girl must have some care put upon her shoulders. She must be taught toconsider otherpeople as well as herself, and learn to provide for their comfort. Teach her that char acter is higher than intellect, , and that, by practicing a little self-denial once in awhilo. she will not only make others hap py, hut will increase her own happiness and will become less selfish. Teach her to work. Let me not be understood as be ing opposed to the teaching of the so-called higher accomplish ments. I am not opposed to them, but do not think they should be taught to the detri- v ment of the more useful ones. Make a companion of your daughter ; teach her to enter tain as well as to be entertain ed. In-this way, she will be mado to think that she is really . of some importance in tho household. GOOD MANNERS. Archbishop Whately sa3's that 4good manners are a part of good morals." We all ac knowledge the truth of the trito saying that true politeness comes from tho heart, and that it is only the outward and visible sign of that inward grace which makes us give up in small tilings . to the comfort of others. But assume the virtue if you have' it not ; for the polite person must always be more popular and give more pleasure to oth ers than the rough and boorish one. A little courtesy costs no- hing but a little thought, and it makes the wheels of society move vastly more smooth. Wo do not mean that the form 'of-' 'ood manners should take the )lace of the reality ; but unself- ness can bo cultivated, and with ts growth naturally comes po- lteness. ... - thirteen grave mistakes. To yield to immaterial trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To endeavor to mould all dis positions alike. To expect uniformity of opin ion in this world .- To expect to be able to under stand everything. To believe only what our inite minds can grasp. To look for judgment and ex perience in youth. To measure the enjoyment of others by our own. Not to make allowance for the infirmities of others. To worry ourselves and ers with what cannot be edied. To consider everything oth-rem- im- possible that we cannot perform. Not to alleviate all that needs alleviation, as far as lies in our power. It is.a great mistake to set up your own standard of right -and wrong, and judge eople accordingly. When the World Will be Full. When will the. earth have all the people upon it that it. can accomihodate? Well, according to Mr. Ra venstein, a well-known statisti cian, who has estimated the matter, whereas the total popu lation of the earth is now a lit tle less than one billion five hun dred millions, there is room on the earth for nearly six billion of inhabitants. That is to say when the space on the earth available for the support of human beings is ful-. ly occupied it will be found cap able of maintaining four and a half billions more of people than it now contains, or four times as many people than it now con tains, or four times as many people as there aro now in the world. This seems at first glance to be very encouraging. But Mr. Ravenstein says it is not, he cause the human race is increas ing in these days of civilization, peace and security, so much faster than it ever increased be fore, that the world will be full in & little over 180 years. be- Uected.
