, Photo Gallery iy ' the Country aids
Marks Civilization's Protroti,.
Tbe photograph gallery in a oonntry
town is one the most pleasing ..marks
of Christian civilization and the ad
vancement of modern soienoe. j-I pass
by one every day and it is gratifying
to ace its natrons awaiting their tnrn
or coming out with smiling faces and
all arrayed in their best apparel. It
is a family discussion before they como
what dress to wear, what ornament.,
and hr tt. kir ob.ll tje arranged, or
whether to sit or stand, whether side
view or a front or whether tho baby
shall be taken ulonoor with -tsmolher.
All classes are ou an equality before
the camera, for the sunlight of natnre
, i as no favorites. So far as fanes and
features are concerned, the camern
tells the truth, the whole truth nurl
nothing bnt the truth. : This morning
as I passed I saw ft" countryman' sit
ting on the steps with a child
In his arms. His wife and little
girl were inside awaiting their
thru. I used to luow itim before be was
married, and so I stopped and -gave
him my hand. His folks were poor,
honest and industrious, and I have
great respect for all snob. The women
do the housework and have the care oi
the children. The men cultivate their
little farms, work the roads, sit on hc
- juries, nurse their sick neighbors, bury
the dead, go fishing on Saturdays and
take tho family to meeting on Sundays.
They are generally Populists, not be
cause of any political principles in
volved, but because of affiliation and
association. Most of their kind are
Populists and therefore olannisb. They
stick together because they are either
poor or less than rich. Their fathers
fought in the late war, and those will
fight in the next if it comes in their
days. It may be a rich man's wat,
bnt it will be a poor man's fight.
"Are you going to have the baby's
picture taken." "No; not this one,"
said he; "I wanted my wife's and onr
little girl's. They are in there. I
I thought I would liko to have them
about the house, for life is uncertain,
you know. Jim Moore's wife died .ast
year und Jim says he would give tho
world for her picture, and Jack Brown
lost bis little girl iu June. She was a
mighty purty little thing, but Jack
hain't got no'pioture and so I conclud
ed to have some.taken for fear of acci
dent.,7 - r
"That is all right," said I, "but sup
pose you die; wouldn t your wife liko
to have one of you?
"I reokon she would. She mention
ed mar, dui pictures aou i oeoome a
rough man like me, and besides, it
would oost more money than I havo
got to spare. The winter is comin' on
and we all have to havo shoes auu
stockings and the like, and my cotton
crop was powerful short, bnt I will
have mine taken sometime. I reckon
all your folks have got 'cm, haven't
they?"
Love for wife and children is tho
best virtue of human kind, and poor
folks have ss much of it as rich ones.
Yes, more. Many of them haven't
anything else to divide their affec
tions. It is a pleasing thing to see
them at the pioture gallery aud to wit
ness their pride whoo the work is done
and the faces of their loved ones uru
before them ou enameled oardr, irckh
and clean from the artist's hand.
What a wonderful art it is. I renum
ber well when the first daguerreotype
was taken in our town. It was only
forty years ago, and when our first lit
tie girl was four years old we had hr-i
picture taken. She was a little beauty
then, and I thought the picture war
the sweetest gem on earth. We hv
it now in its old-fashioned case. Th
little girl is long since a mother u.i.'
has pictures of her own little ruU.
and they are much finer in their flni-1-but
I prize the first one most. Item
rics me back in memory to the (Java :
my sweetest, fondest, proudest, pa
rental love. I idolize that obild ana
I lore her dearly yet, but she left ns
for a young man she was no kin to in
the world, and who has never done
anything for her but to give her a
ring and books of poetry and a little
French candy now and then. We hod
to give her up to him, and as Tom
Hood said :
"3hs took onr davliabt with bar
And the J 7i that we love best,
With morning light npon bar brow
And pearls opon her breast."
Daguerre was a benefactor to the
emotional aide of onr nature. He was
a French artist a painter of pano
ramas of cities liko London and Paris
and Naples. He used the rays of the
sun through colored glass to heighten
Ihe effect of bis paintings, and kept ou
experimenting with sunlight until iu
1839 he caught it oo the king and
made it stick to met&J'.ic plates and re
flect tho images thrown npon them.
His escoeea wm partly accidental, part
ly design, and he himself was aston
ished at his discovery. In 1840 Aragu
luade the announcement to the acade
my of soienoe and Daguerre was made
an oftWr in the Legion of Honor and
voted a pension of 6,000 franos a year.
He died in 1851 and a monument was
erected to him in Paris.
But like all inventions, Daguerre 's
was crude and imperfect Photogra
phy has grown oot of it and seems now
to be the perfection of art It is used
in making the exact likenesses of all
the great works of art and nature and
bringing them in reaoh of the millions
who fcsve never seen and never will see
the original,. All the monuments,
pyram ids , ch urch es, cath edrala, bridges,
mountains and wa-.erfalls all the
grand old paintings of Kaphatl and
Kembrandt, all the sculpture of the
old masters and even tho aspects of
the moon and eolipsoa of the sun and
the reproduction of the ancient manu
scripts of the Old and New Testa
ments. The lightning itself cannot
more instantly speed its way than pho
tography now catches a bird on the
wing or a raoe horse on the turf cr a
meteor in the heavens. Just so it was
with the looomotive, the spinning
enny, the sewing machine, the tele
graph and tolcpuone. All weie im
proved from time to time by the can
ling of the human brain and human
bund until they now seem to be per
fect, bat they are not.
On the mantle near me I see a cabi
net photograph of a well preserved old
man who has a sweet little black-eyed

ahow the pioture to her child abd say.
"I never knew my father, for he died
whea -I ve jrwuUfft bat ihmt old

spirit land I will some times be near, tor
and hear her talk that way maybe so;
who knows? Flowers and music are
the sweetest girt of Ood to mankind
and pictures and painting the sweetest
that come from the hand of man.
Bat of all the oomeras that catch
and bold fast the images of art or na
ture there are men of science who as
sert that none are equal to the retina
of the human eye. They say that ev
ery look or glance or vision makes an
impoession there. An impression
jo delicate and unpalprble that
saillions may lie upon its glassy
curface and the last thing seen is on
ihe top. They say that if a man is
fimrdered while he faces the murderet
Ihe assailant's face and form will be
found npon the victim's eyes. Some
experiments have been made to prove
ibis, but they were imperfect and un
satisfactory. Maybe it will yet be
proven. Biiii Abp in Atlanta Consti

committee bas rejected the Democrat propo
sition to fuse on the State, Congressional aud

other side and, therefore could not receive
loyal support; second f.hat fw Democrats in
August ignored the proposition for complete
fusion. The Populist committee suggests the
