For Arp as well as the rest of Mankind, Atlanta Constitution, I The piano and violin and Ante are all blending theiraweet harmonies together in our parlor to-night, and. I am Bitting by the cheerful fire in a sweet dream of peace, and thanking the good Lord for Hie blessings. One poet writes beautiful thoughts about the music of the spheres, as though the planets in coursing around the sun made harmony for angels and for God. Another ? says that music is the only thing that is common to angels and to man^aB'though'the-'Oreator saidrtrl will leaveJnnr?one .attribute of my. divin? ity, one emotion that is as pure and inno> cent as heaven, I will give it to Baint and sinner, to the poor and the rich, the bond and the free. It shall not fade and die with the flowers, nor grow'weary with- age." Many years - ago ft smart scholar wrote a book to prove that a negro had no aoul, hut to my opinion im passion for mu"^ la-argnment enough to give him an Sequal-Cb?nce^for^-heave?? Blind Tom is almost an idiot, but when ?bis clouded aud untutored minu is filled with music that is beyond my ken I feel humbled in his presence. Blind and child iah and ignorant, be seems attimes almost among the angels in his rhapso? dies. When Haydn was old. and feeble be was carried to the great hall in Vienna to hear Beethoven and other great com? posers perform the "Creation," which was his own greatest work';Vand"as the vast audience arose to cheer the grand finale the old man waved bis bankerchief toward heaven and exclaimed: "It came .from, there?it came from there.!'' He. then spread out his hands and blessed the audience, and this Was his farewell to the world.? The next week he died. Mozart composed his own requiem on his death-bed, and his great soul escaped to heaven-on a strain of music'that no one heard but him. Deaf as a posv, he conld.still write music that has outlived "a^ijentury and continue to live through the.agescome. How dear' 10 us all was the simple music of our childhood 1 The whistle, the jewsharp, the split goose-quill, the little harmonicon, the.?fc and the drum, and ^^^Gne^S^MO^fiddll; bad its charms.; When^waB" a Jioy-my JnioJher J?ugut Jiie' how to make an ceolean harp in the win dow. "Lhave stretched the silken cords between the sash and listened with delight ,to the harmony.of sweet sounds that the gentle'wind breathed upon them end I ;waH%?p"py.i? What a'strange, gpodgif?it 'is to our fallen humanity." flow is it that the ?'preachers can't preach without it; soldiers 'can't fight without it;" lovers can't court without it. It alike becomes the wedding and the funeral, Ute,church and the theater, the banquet hall and the cottage fireside. How the great poets loved to honor it with their best devo? tions. Shakspeare Bays that "the man that has no music in himself is fit for treason?let no such man be trusted." Byron says "there is music in all things if men had ears." Collins calls music a "heavenly maid," and Longfellow says "the night shall be filled with music." . I was ruminating about these things because there:was a.Jiew piano in:the house 'and my 'wife'was7 caressing the beautiful keys with the exquiate touch of her girlhood. She played some of the same old tunes that used to Charm me when I knelt at her shrine and verily oe lieved that both the song ..and the singer came from at e, and I; too, was a little nearer heaven man I bad ever been before. She won't trust her full voice now for fear it will split or get away without a bridle, but she., lets it warble along low and sweeteo-as to mingle and hide with' the music. Ever and anon I catch the ten? der pathos of "The Emigrant's Lament;" or, "When You and I Were Young, Maggie;" or, "The Old Log Cabin in the Lane."; Sometimes it is the "Meeting of the Waters;" or, "Sweet May Day;" or, "Edenboro Town;" or, "Coming Through the Bye." Our girls are good performers, but they have not got the soft, sweet, angelic touch of their moth? er. When she Is playing I can tell it away out in the backyard. Before the war we had a piano. Before Borne fell and our unwi ling flight from the eternal city, we shipped that piano to ''Madison for safety,'and it arrived there" just in time for Stoneman's raiders to burn it in the depot. I have often wondered how much religion a woman most have to get over the like of that?how much more grace and charity to forgive those traveling incendiaries from the.top of her heart. Soon after the war Lmanaged to get another and for more than-twenty years it has stood the wear and 'tear of 120 fingers of our household and rail sorts of miscellaneous banging"from the boys and my own morn in g har monies that were intended to arouse Mr, Arp form her slumbers so that I wouldn'^perish before br^kfi^t/rbut 'which wett^ttever appro-; ci?ted^; aa^kindly as ~th'<ey% deserved.; ?n^^eat8(pJ^angl|^^^etty^^v knocked-; all the- musi$>:p?t^ thifymej The';mqtbs :had/' eaten-;up\tMM e t herl^-; new^strings^'bad been'^sub'stituted^for broken ones and the iron pegs bad lost their grip and the strings wouldn't stay in tune a week at a time. To save ex? pense I bought me a key and pegged away at the strings myself so as to keep the family in tune and the piano too, for ever and anon tbey would give me some gentle hint,"that.I must get_a new piano just as soon as I was able, yes Just as soon as I-1^ was)a"ble,':whichI understood to mean right now immediately, if not be? fore. The other day I talked about buy? ing a little scrap of land that joined me, and Mrs. Arp looked sideways towards I the piano and remarked she thought we had land enough. A few days ago I took off the lid and began my usual opera? tions with the tnning key. when one of the girls came in and signed, and said she did n't think; my} last-tuning did any good. Hermother' came gliding in and said she believed that I made it worse every time, and that it sounded like an old tin pan. What was very strange to me the door bell rung about that identi? cal time, and sure enough my friend, Mr. Freyer, of Atlanta, came in and looked at me with sympathetic pity, and soon he began to talk low and soft and sweet about his beautiful pianos?his "Chronic and Back," as he called them, and bow nicely one of them would set off the new? ly prepared walls and the pretty curtains and the portierre and what wonderful capacity our children bad for music, and bow they fook it all from their mother, and bow nearly all the best people of Atlanta had bought from him, and he named over governors and judges and editors and a whole lot of rich people, and said he would sell us a seven hun? dred dollar piano for four hundred and take the old one .for a hundred dollars and he talked low and sweet like he was making a special bargain and was afraid somebody outside would hear him and so in about fifteen minutas he had captured the whole family and I surrendered on parole without arms or ammunition, Of course I did. I always do and now the "Chronic and Back" is herein the parlor and I am listening to the Beethoven sonates and my wife and children are happy and everybody's .calm and serene but me, for I have got to pay for that piano able or no able and it will give me the crocic backache before Iget through. But I don't care. It is the sweet luxury of the fireside and will keep the children happy and contented at borne for now The night is filled -with music And the cares that infest the day Will take up their tents like the Arabs An as silently steal away.

The Message of Governor Richardson to the General Assembly is an elaL jrate paper, but not too! foil, by any means, for the subjects which it describes and : diBCUsse8. The Governor Bhb ws that the Deficien? cy bonds of the State have been refunded, the new 4} per cent bonds having been sold at par or a premium, ahd -recom mends that immediate steps be taken to refund the Consolidation bonds and stock which mature in 1S98. - If 1b recommend? ed also that the Legislature take BtepB to compel the holders'of outstanding Con? solidation bonds of the original issue to exchange them for.Brown, bonds Under the laws now of force. The Governor thinks that the forfeited land.law of 1887 'Is practical and effective, and recommends that it be not amended, except so far as to require the county sheriff to sell on some regular aalesday. Turning to the public Schools, the Gov? ernor finds an increase of 18,417 pupils, and a larger expenditure of money for school houses than ever before. The number and quality of the Bchool housed ?in the.-country^have greatly advanced. The'facilWeB'lor the training of teachers have also been enlarged. The Winthrop Training School is pleasantly praised, and the continuance of the State scholar? ships is heartily recommended'. It is suggested also that the practicability of teaching phonography, telegraphy and photography be considered. The repub iication of the school law is advised, so 'that every officer may know his duty. The Governor aptly says that ''the "only way to reach and elevate the masses is "through a system'if free public schools/' The Governor describes likewise the reorganisation of the University of South Carolina. This includes now a College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, with twenty-three teachers/ eleven carefully formulated courses for degrees and certi? ficates, well equipped, laboratories and shops, and its farm and provision for practical training. The Governor asserts that the University is one of which any State might be proud, and stands second to none in the South. There are now 221 students in attendance. Of the 100 students'entering this year, the large majority are pursuing scientific courses. Regarding the Agricultural College, the position of the Governor iB .that, if the agricultural .class^ of the State desire a high class institution of learning, devoted exclusively to instruction in the.sciences pertaining to agriculture, such a college should be established. But this should be done,Ihfe governor Bays, without the least disturbance, of the organization of a iirjgle institution now existing. Nor should it "depend upon the acceptance of the Clemaon or any other bequest. The State will be amply able to build and support auch a' college without any increase of,.taxation, as the saving by.refunding.the', debt will amount to $120,000 a year at least. As regards the Clemsoa bequest, the Governor holds that it would not comport with the interest or dignity of the State to accept it before the will is clearly established, and before i it is ascertained that the institution shall "forever remain nnder the supreme and sole control of the State," The Governor describes very carefully the condition and prospects of the State Military Academy* end recommends that the entire amount received from the Senetal Government for rent and for amages, amounting to $77,250, (less the sum .due for collection,) shall be applied to rebuilding the west wing of the Cita? del, and to the better equipment and general improvement of the school. The reasoning of the Governor on this point is particularly dear and Btrong. Claflin College for'the colored people f -has made a good showing, and the contin? uance of the special appropriation is recommended, as is the usual appropria? tion for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind institution, with special appropriations for a building for colored pupils and for water supply. The Governor reviews the operations of the department of agriculture and remarks that "its good work is apparent and is more appreciated the more. -it .is investigated and understood." The Ex Serimental Stations are at Columbia, partanburgand Darlington. Their work; has been extensive. Important lines of; investigation have been entered upon; and much valuable experience has been ?acquired. The condition of the State Penitentiary, is more sasisfactory than it had been for; some years, as the income from all sour? ces has been slightly in excess of the expenses. It appears that in their agri cultuVaf.^operations the Penitentiary, board^bave'iost $125,000 by floods in two years.Without this tbey would now have surplus of $100,000. The outlook forfnext-year is considered satisfactory, and it is' believed that the institution will be self supporting. The Governor com? mends the suggestion of the Board that provision be'mt.de for. a Refp.cmatory.for I r.The^Lunatic. AsyltUn figs; 6??5 inmates, and. theireg?^ .mebt ?ffc BepSr^s^l?j^q^e.^Pred ! Id^m^^^^'t^nkj^a/S^qf course, -?ft?&necea?iifof providing; suitably for the insane, but, if the present system continues, it eeems to be likely that the Lunatic Asylum will swallow up the whole revenues of the State after a while. For Borne reason, or other, many persons who are well able to pay for the care and support of their own lunatics manage to have them provided for at the expense of - the public. : The Governor Bays thatjthere were' 2,700 persrfna' classed 'Winsarie, epileptic and idiotic in South Carolina in 1880, and only about one fourth of the number has found its way into the Asylum bo far. All the money that can be saved by refunding the debt, and in every other way, can be spent on the lunatics in this State unless there be some change of habit or plan. I The Governor is especially emphatic in 'his remarks concerning therailroad com? mission, and in the recommendation that the iaw be changed so as to "require rail? roads within South Carolina to regulate their rates of freight within the Sta' bo that the public shall derive the greatest benefit possible, consistent with tbe inter? est of tbe railroad corporations." The subject is most important, and there is evident need of action. The Governor notes tbe combinations of railroads that have been made, and considers it indis pensable that the representatives of the people shall take care "that the suprema? cy of their will shall be maintained inviolate, and that tbe control of their own business, commerco, travel and general welfare be kept strictly within their own hands, to be managed in their own way and according to . their . own pleasure." Tbe militia is upon a much better foot? ing than it had occupied for some years .past. Tbe Legislature is, asked to make provision for-the pay of the Johnson Rifles while in service. There ought to be some general provision of -the kind. Only three counties remain without a military organization.' The suggestions of the Adjutant. and Inspector General regarding annual encampments are ear? nestly commended. With regard to pensions, it is shown that the number of applications was 2,623 and that 2,025 were approved. Of these 1,492 were in favor of widows. It is men? tioned that the Board "is apprehensive that gross frauds have already crept in, and may continue to creep in," if Borne system of investigation in the counties be. not adopted. The amount paid for pen? sions is ?49,688. The continuance of the appropriation .for the State Agricultural Society is recommended. For (he State House tbe Governor recommenda as liberal an ap? propriation as is consistent with the resources of the State. The suggestion of Major Hammond that steps be taken to perfect a topographical survey and map of the Savannah River, and for the appointment of a joint commission by. Georgia and South Carolina, is treated as worthy of most earnest consideration, the Governor believing that by coopera? tion between tbe Federal authorities and .those of the States of Georgia and South Carolina tbe important work can be pro perly executed and with comparatively .insignificant expenditure.?

Poll's Answer, Once upon a time, as the stony run.?i a man owned a parrot-, which try as he would, be could never teach to say any? thing except, "There is on doubt about it." The gentleman took the parrot to .the fair one day, to see if he could-sell it. "Who'll buy my parrot ? Only ten dol? lars!" A gentleman passing, stopped and looked at the bird, and then asked: "Poll, are you worth that much ?" "There-is no boubt about it 1" answered Poll. He was very much pleused with the bird's intelligence and bought it; but one day, after be found out the mistake, he was standing near the cage, and he said to himself, out loud! "What a fool 1 was to give ten dollars ror that bird 1" "There is no doubt about it 1" sang out Poll. .

The annexation of Canda is attract ing attention every day, Senator Sherman has- cohje out Bquarely in favor of annexation, and it has been hinted that the President elect is of a like mind on that subject. There is a large ejerheht in Canada that is pinihfe to be under the Stars and Stripts. The New York World baa just published a map of the United States as it will be after the annexation. In this map the new country is carved up into twenty eight new States and Terri? tories. If the seven provinces of Canada were admitted sb bo many States, there would be fourteen new Senators and fifty*two new Representatives in Congress, and the newly made citizens would probably obtain a representative in the Cabinet. It Is Absurd For people to expect a cure for Indiges? tion, unless they refrain from eating what is unwholesome ; but if anything will sharpen the appetite and give tone to the digestive organs, it is Ayer's Sar? saparilla. Thousands all over the land testify to the merits of this medicine. . Mrs* Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth Street, South Boston, writes: " My hus? band has taken Ayer's Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." A Confirmed Dyspeptic. C. Canterbury, :of 141 Franklin* Bth Boston, Mass., writes, that, Buffering for years from Indigestion, he was at last induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and, by its use, was entirely cured. Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, Hoiyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that she could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was unable to care for her family. Neither the medicines prescribed by physicians, not any of the remedies advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia, helped her, until she commenced the use of 'Ayer's Sarsaparilla. "Three bottles of this medicine," she writes, u cured me." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; six bottles, ?5. Worth $6 a bottle. NOTICE. ASSESSMENT.

Real Estate is not assessed this year, 1889, and remains at the same valuation it was in 1888, except in cases where parties, have bought and sold between the first day. of January, 1888, and the first day of Janua? ry, 1889. All new structures erected between the first day of January, 1888, and the first day of January, 1889, are to be returned this year (1889) for taxation, and'those destroy? ed during that time deducted. Assessors and Tax Payers will please en? ter the first given name of the Tax Payer in full. Also, make a separate return for each Tax Payer for the Township the prop? erty is in, and always make the return of real property in the same name it was re t rned in the year before, unless it has t anged ownership, and then in the parties name who owned iton the first of January, 1S89. All changes of buying and selling land must be made on the Tax Payer's re? turn between the first of January, 1889, and the twentieth of February, 1889. Af? ter the latter date it will be too late to get the change made for the said year 1889? And another important matter in making or taking returns, is where the Tai Payer owns land to insert the Post Office as their place of residence, and where they own no real properjy to mention the owner's land that they live on as being their place of residence, which assists the Tax Payer as well as the County Treasurer in making the collection, and save costs and penaltiss, too. Every male citizen, between the agos of twenty-one and fifty years, on the first day of January, 1889, except those incapable of earning a supporc from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. Tax Payers return what they own on- the first day of January, 1889. All returns that are made after the twen? tieth day of February next, have to be placed on the Additional List, and fifty per cent penalty added thereto, unless pre? vented by sickness during tho time of list? ing, or out of the County at the time. Not knowing the time of listing is no ex? cuse, and is the reason that the landowner has to get two receipts when he makes his return after the twentieth oi February each year. Each landowner furnishes the names on the back of their Tax Returns of all par? ties living on their land who are liable for taxes, and in comparing these names with the Tax Duplicate, find a good many who have forgot or neglected to make their re? turns for 1887 ana 1888, and we hope every one who is liable for the said years 1887 and 1888 will attend tr> it at once.

I have been suOTering for more than thirty years with an Itching and burning all over my face and body. I took eighteen boltles of one blood medi cino and it did mo no good. I commenced last January to use B. B. B., and after using five bot* ties I felt better and stouter than I have in thirty years, my health Is better and I weigh more than I ever did. The itching has nearly ceased, and I am confident that a few more bottles of B.B.B, will euro mo entirely. I am sixty-two years old and an now do a good day's work in my field. I consider it tho best medicine I have ever seen, for it certainly did me more good than all the medi? cine I have ever taken. I bad, in all, nearly a hundred risings on my faco, neck and body.

My littlo con, 11 years of age, suffered from an acute attack of rheumatism, caused by undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard your remedy highly recommended, and purchased one bottle of Moncrlef & Bro., Frcscott, Ark. In about one month, after using this bottle he became so much better that I got the second bottle which is now being used, and my son is nearly well, and I think by removing htm to a coolor summer climate fwhich I will do) and continuing its use, a per? fect; cure will be effected. I consider B. B. B. a most excellent blood purifier. , citAS. ii. titL-s,, R. tt. Agt., Boughtoh, Ark; X booh of wonders, free.
