The sweet potato will soon begin to make
its influence felt in Southern politics. There
can be no exodus while ’possums, tatters
and ’simmons hold out their savory attrac

[St. Paul (Minn,) Pioneer-Press, Rep.]
When Blaine gets .through in Maino he is
going to Ohio to help Foster defeat his
cousin, Tom Ewing—on the principle that
though blood is thicker than water polities
is thicker than blood.
The Columbus Enquirer states that, in
case of the passage of the railroad bill now

who is wholly diss9clated with railroads, a
good lawyer out of practice and an experi
enced man from mercantile circles. •
WHERE THE MONEY IS.
[Washington Post]
While Mr. Sherman is boasting that re
funding is accomplished, thirty or forty
millions of the money that should be in
the treasury as the result of that refund
ing, is in the hands or his pet bankers,
j without interest and unsecured.
[Washington Post.]
I Barksdale killed! Dixon for tiie reason,
[ as alleged, that Dixon had planned to assas-
I sinate Barksdale. Barksdale preferred to
live, and “took ffee drop” on the man who
! proposed to kill him. That so far as we
can understand it, is about all there is of
it. If the country insists on being excited
over it, we do not seq how it can be helped.
[Courier-Journal.]
The Philadelphia Times on Wednesday,
contained a blood-curdling confession of a
man who se[ fire to an oil ware-house in
Philadelphia, a few years ago, producing a
conflagration which destroyed 81,006 barrels
j of oil, forty or fifty houses and the lives of
j eight persons. “Unparallelled Crime,” tiie
! Times heads the confession and “unparal
leled it is indeed. The “criminal classes in
the Northern cities,” as the Cincinnati Com
mercial says, arc very bad criminal classes,
indeed. They are without parallel.
[Chronicl^ and Sentinel.]
Charles DeYoung makes this statement:
“We cover everything on the Pacific coast,
ti e have had twenty libel suits without los
ing one, our defense invariably being the
truth and a good motive. We called a man
a desperado, and proved him a robber; we
accused another of fraud, and convicted
■him of black-mailing. We have had nu
merous personal encounters. A bullet from
a derringer has grazed my scalp. But it
has become known that we can defend’our-
selves, and we are now let alone.” What a
lovely life to lead!
[Toledo Blade, Rcp.|
There is very little material in “Capt.”
Dixon, of Yazoo county, of which to make a
hero and martyr. He gained his title of
“captain” as the commander of a force of
ruffians who bull-dozed the Republicans of
his county until the party was extinguish
ed. When he was not satisfied with the
share of the political spoils allotted to him,
and made a move to reward himself bet
ter, his old comrades turned his former
tactics against himself, and choked off the
young man’s vaulting ambition at the muz
zle of the shot-gun. It is a very plain case
of “dog-eat-dog.”
[Chfonicie and Sentinel.]
It lias been the fashion to make sport of
Dennis Kearney and to treat him with con
tempt. But he is evidently a man of mark
and not a >it of a fool. His control over
the masses in California is something won
derful, and it must be said to his ciedit that
he has recently used his power with
wisdom aneftnoderation. A word from him,
arid San Francisco would have been sacked
by an infuriated and irresistible mob. A
word from him, and a wise word, has pro
tected society from a dreadful disaster.
No common man could gain such influence
over so many thousands of his fellows, and
no common man would have exercised his
potency witli so much discretion. Evident
ly, as tiie Devil is not half as black as he
lias been painted, Kearney is incompara
bly a better man than his enemies have
pictured him.
[Baltimore Gazette.]
There was a time when the southern
planters were content to devote all their
energies to the production of cotton, not
caring what became of it after it left their
hands. They raised cotton and permitted
the rest of the country to feed and clothe
them while they were thus engaged. Things
are changing. New ideas of economy have
worked into the south since the war. It has
been discovered the spindles will run in At
lanta as well as in Lowell and that negro
children can bo taught to handle threads
as well as the off-springs of poor people in
New England. In a few years the bulk of
cotton manufacturing will be done in the
south, the profit thereon will be kept at
home and the thrifty ^Jpw England friends
of the Tribune will be able to rent their emp
ty factories to gentlemen who make cheap
clocks and button-hole cutters.
THE MEN W«0 LEFT TILDEY.
[Editor Pulitzer in the St. Louis Dispatch.]
Lieutenant-Governor Dorsheimer, who is
beyond questibn the ablest Democratic- pol
itician in New York, and without whose
efforts Mr. Tilden never could have been
nominated in 1876, is n«w the leader of the
most pronounced anti-Tllden faction in New
York. Chief Justice Sanford E. Church is
equally pronounced in his opposition. Da
vid Dudley Field, who was sent to Congress
as Mr. Tilden’s personal agent to specially
attend to the electorial trouble, has become
disgusted with Tilden and is hostile to him.
Charles O’Conor, the ^reat lawyer, who
pleaded Mr. Tilden’s case before the Com
mission, is now most stinging and bitter in
his language of contempt about the late
President-elect. Senator Kernan, who was
a Tilden man, is now against him. Hora
tio Seymour, without whose great influence
Tilden never could have received the dele
gation from his State, is now also thorough
ly sick of and disgusted with him. Mr.
Abram Hewitt has had no personal relation
with Mr. Tilden for same time, and also
speaks in the most bitter terms about him.
BEATRICE AND LOUIS.
[London World, July 16.]
Is it true, this dainty^tory?
Is it true—ah, who shall say?
In the brighter noonday glory
Morning shadows melt away.
Poets’ fancies, woven gayly,
Cruel fingers tear apart;
And in judgment Brain site daily
On the children of the Heart.
Years ago, in times called olden—
’Tis a legend, mind, I tell—
From his throne, high-reared and golden,
Cast to earth, a ruler fell.
Fought by foreign foes and worsted,
Mari with grief and mad with shame,
For his blood the people thirsted,
And heaped curses on his name.
Far away, an exile broken,
Shorn of all his pomp and pride,
Ctesar passed his race’s token
To his ouly son; and died.
Died afar, by all unheeded
Who of yore had bent the knee;
And he sleeps the sleep he needed
In his tomb across the sea.
To that son the right descended
Still to count himself a king;
Courtiers still his steps attended,
Doubting not what time would bring;
And he kept the grand tradition
Of his proud imperial race;
“Bide your time,” was Cmsar’s mission;
“You shall fill your father’s place.”
Yet the waves of Time they bore him
Little nearer to tiie throne;
Blood, lie said, should not restore him.
But his people’s love alone.
Not for him the pathway gory,
That iiis hero-fathers trod;
He would J^eep his whole life-story
Fit for eyes of man and God.
3o he grew among the strangers
Till he came to man’s estate.
Then lie sought afar the dangers
That beset a soldier’s fate.
Why? All, whisper, gentle breezes,
Ye that come across the sea,
With tiie tender tale it pleases
Cruel Fate to send by thee!
He had loved a high-born maiden,
Youngest daughter of a Queen;
l'et his heart with grief was laden—
Shadows' crept their loves between.
Fancy cast a dream-spell o’er him;
Then the ghosts of history came—
Spread his race’s past before him,
While in blood they wrote his name.
One short word had lie but spoken,
His had been tiie maiden’s hand;
In her eyes he read the token,
He eould see the promised land.
Love that’s checked is love the stronger;
Should lie bid her be his mate?
3od forbid that he should wrong her!
She should know some happier fate.
He was heir to pomp and splendor;
Hope might dawn for him at last;
Fiercest foes might yet surrender:
But tiie fatal die was cast.
Comes liis dirge across the billows;
Sets liis gentle star for aye.
Deatli liis crownless head now pillows—
He has flung his life away.
Came a whisper o’er the ocean,
He had sought a soldier’s death;
And to seal a life’s devotion,
Gave her land his latest breath.
Reckless there he courted danger—
And the tale is far and wide,
How the youth, to fear a stranger,
Death had wooed and won for bride.
******* * *
Is it true, this legend olden,
Or some poet’s idle dream,
Who lias sought, in garments golden,
Thus to dress a dainty theme?
If aright they tell his story,
All his race he soars above;
They are men who die for glory,
’Twas a god who died for love.

I do not intend to throw a stone at Mile.
Bernhardt. She and George Elliot, and oth
er emminent persons who defy the custom
of society, are competent to judge of right
and wrohg, and aie free to act I do not
judge litem. But what I wish to point out
is the social phenomenon, presented when
the leaders of a society which crushes
thousands of poqjr giri* in mire for ille
gitimate sexual relations should at the
same time lavish admiration upon women
of the same character who hogpen to have
talent. Sarah Bernhardt has never been mar
ried ; she bus four children; she brought to
London and took in every fine house where
she was entertained, a bright boy, who call
ed her “Mademoiselle my mamma.” There
was no concealment whatever. Fashiona
ble London was at her feet. It was amply
demonstrated that fauMonablc English so
ciety does not really reap set the custom
which it professes to hold essential.
The sanctity of marriage becomes more
and more a thing for. the pour and ignor

marriage dogma also.
A HURRIED DINNER.
“Oh see here, Lizzie I shan’t be home to
dinner to-day, there’s a lot to do at the of
fice, and I’ll not come “home.”
This speech came from my liege lord,
Charley, as lie popped liis head In at the
front door, after ho had started to his bus
iness.
“All right,” said I.
The head popped out again, and I added
to myself.
“Mighty glad of it. I won’t have any
dinner to got, and I will have a good day to
work up stairs.”
So I cleared away the breakfast, tidied
up tiie rooms, and after that took myself
off up stairs.
We have not been keeping house very
long, and I made it a rule not to let things
become soiled by using, but to keep them
clean and fresit.
But up stairs there were certain trunks
and boxes that needed renovating; some of
the summer clothing was to be packed a-
way and the winter wear got out and made
ready for use.
I tied a han kerchief over my head to keep
out the dust, pulled trunks and boxes out
of the closet, and set to work.
I was in tiie very midst of it, when I
heard footsteps at the front door, and di
rectly it opened.
It was Charley^ I knew, for he had a
latchkey and was accustomed to let him
self in. I jumped to my feet.
“Charley and not a sign of dinner?” I
exclaimed. “He said he wouldn’t come.
What can have brought him?”
Tiie sound of voices, as I stood listening,
assured me of what Charley had brought.
Visitors, and I in such a plight.
Charley came running up stairs, with his
face in a glow.
“Why, why, little woman, what’s all this?
I couldn’t find you anywhere down stairs.
Isn’t it dinher time?”
“Yes, Charley, but you said you were not
coming home, and I didn’t want anything
tor myself.”
“Well, I—I wasn’t. But who do you think
I met!”
“I don’t know, I’m sure.”
“It was Liston and his wife. They were
on their way to a hotel, but of course I
wouldn’t allow that. I just brought them
home with me to dinner.”
I have no doubt titere was a spice of
irony in the tone in which I answered,
calmly:
“Yes I see you did. Weil I hope you also
remembered to stop at the butcher’s and
send in something for them to eat”
“Well, I declare, little woman, I forgot
the butcher. But I daresay you can scare
up something. Only hurry for they have
only an hour or so to spare. They’re off
again this evening.”
I knew it was of no use to say to a man,
“Why didn't you send me word?”
It wouldn’t teach him to send it next time.
So I only said: .
“Well, go down and* entertain them, and
I’ll come down as soon as I can change my
dress.”
Charley obeyed, and 1 hurriedly dressed,
not iu the pleasantest mood.
They were old friends of Charley’s, and I
bad looked forward to meeting them with
pleasure, but I knew Mrs. Liston was quot
ed as the very pattern of all pattern house
keepers, never flurried or put out by any
thing.
I knew too, that she bad means sad ser
vants at her command, while I had neither,
and dreaded to receive her in such a man
ner, more than I could tell, but as many a
suffering si6ter will readily comprehend.
What with my hasty dressing. I knew
my cheeks were flushed, and my hair tum
bled. But it was too late to wait, so I ran
down, and stood lire during .the introduc
tion as well as I could, quite eooacious that
instead ot appearing my beat I waa ap
pearing my worst, as even Charley,eould
see.
As soon as possible I excused myself,
saying by way of apology, that I was not
expecting Charley, and must prepare din
ner in haste. *
“Pray, don’t put yourself to any trouble,”
saiJ Mrs. Liston, politely.
“It is no trouble at all,” I as politely re
plied feeling as I went to the kitchen, that
that small speeeh was at least a fib, for I
was almost at my wit’s end to know what
to do.
A happy thought struck nte.
Oysters!
A regular dinner was not to be thought
of, but most people were fond of oysters. I
knew Charley was, and I could prepare
them well.
They were to be had opposite, and I was
not long in getting them either.
I bethought myself of a half a cake which
I luckily had. That nicely sliced, in my
silver cake basket, would answer for desert,
with some apples, whicit I bought with the
oysters.
Really, I should not do so badly for an
impromptu occasion.
My spirits rose as 1 set the table,, adorn
ing it with a cluster of fresh chrysanthe
mums, and with what glass and silver I
possessed, so that it looked very neat and
pretty.
That, at least, Mrs. Liston could not find
any fault with, even if she were disposed
to do so.
Charley had said hurry, and hurry I did.
As speedily as possible I had eveything
ready on the table and the dessert arrang
ed on a shelf by the open window, so that
I eould put it on at once.
Tired, flushed, nervous and doing my
best not to look cross, I went to the parlor
where they were chatting gayly, and an
nounced dinner.
Then that awkward Charley must put his
foot into it, man-fashion, by saying;
“My little wife is a famous cook. I hope
you have a good appetite.”
“Indeed I have. Travelling always makes
me hungry,” replied Mr. Liston, rising.
I made some laughing reply, and led the
way to my little dinner.
“Ah, oysters!—my favorites,” said Mr.
Liston.
I was glad to hear that, but my heart
sank when Mrs. Liston declined to take any
saying she never ate them.
“I am sorry,” I said flushing. “But I
will poaeit you a couple of eggs.”
“By no means,” she said pleasantly. “I
shall tlo very well with one of these rolls
and a cup of coffee.
And when I insisted, she was obliged to
say that she never ate eggs.
I was at loss what to propose then, so I
ceased to press the matter. Meanwhile I
had poured the coffee.
I handed the cups, but I knew, by the
aroma which reached my nostrils, that,
though tolerable, it was not nearly as good
as usual, for in my haste I made it too
weak.
I was specially mortified at this as I prid
ed myself on my good coffee.
“I won’t apologize,” I thought proudly.
But my pride fell the next instant, when
Charley having tasted his, made a queer
face, and then tasted again.
“Why, Lizzie, what ails your coffee?” he
asked.
Tears of mortification rushed to my eyes,
but Liston said kindly:
“Tut, tut, there are worse things than
weak coffee in tills big world.
Of course, as I had no servant, I waa
obliged to remove the plates and bring on
the dessert myself.
That, at least, was nic_. But when I wont
into the pantry I barely suppressed a
scream of horror.
Mrs. Dean’s big gray cat had jumped in
to the window, and was contentedly munch
ing my cake.
With frantic haste I dashed her off and
rescued what sho had left.
Only six thin little slices. They looked
so forlorn in the large basket that I would
not put them on in that way.
I consigned them to a small glass dish
and without a word of apology put them
upon the table; for my blood was up now
and I vowed would apologize no more.
The apples were nice and wo finished on
them as well as we could.
For my sake Charley tried to appear
very gay but I saw he was deeply mortifi
ed, and I did not pity him half as much as
I might.
I think I was quite excusable when I said
to him, after that dreadfnl dinner was over
and our guests were gone:
“Charley if you ever bring company a-
gain without letting me know first, I’ll nev
er forgive you. And I’ll order dinner from
the nearest restaurant, and leave you the
bill to pay.”
But that stupid Charley “can’t seo why
it need worry me.”
Little crosses, little cares.
Little things that give us pain,
Aa we bear them ill or well,
Turn to endless loss or gain.
Little trials now may bring
Golden lessons to the heart,
Which perhaps, in after years.
Sterner sorrows must impart.

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.
MISS BOWLES.
How happily, how happily the flowers die
away!
Oh! could wo but return to earth as easily

Just live a life of sunshine, of innocence
and bloom,
Then drop without decrepitude, or pain into
the tomb!
They gay and glorious creatures! they
neither “ton nor spin;”
Yet, lo! (what goodly raiment they arc all
appareled in;)
No tears are on their beauty, but dewy
gems more bright
Than ever brow of eastern queen endiadem-
ed with light.
The young rejoicing creatures! their pleas
ures never pall;
Nor lose in sweet contentment, because so
free to all!—
The dew, the showers, the sunshine, the
balmy, blessed air,
Spend nothing of their freshness, though
all may treely share.
The happy careless creatures! of time they
take no heed;
Nor weary of his creeping, nor tremble at
his speed;
Nor sigh with sick impatience, and wish
tne light away:
Nor when Tis gone, cry dolefully, “would
God that it were day!”
And when their lives are over, they drop
away to rest,
Unconscious of the penal doom, on holy
Nature’s breast:
No pain have they in dying—110 shrinking
irom decay—
Oh! could we but return to eartli as easily
as they!
“MY DARLING’S BLIND. ’
Touching Scene in a Utica Street Car.
lUtica Tribune.l
A lady entered u car on the Oakwood
road one day the past week leading a little
girl perhaps four years old. The mother
sat down and lifted the little one to the
seat beside her. The girl was nibbling at
a bit of cake or sugar, now and then turn
ing her face full of childish love, up to her
mother and murmuring some almost unin
telligible words of affection.
Opposite to mother and child sat anoth
er young lady, who often smelled a fresh
rose which she held. Tiie innocent little
one before her attracted her attention, and
thepatural kindliness of the sympathetic
woman heart prompted her to at once offer
the fragrant flower to the little budding
lilly opposite. So she leaned a bit forward
and spoke: *
“Baby want the posey?"
But the child seemed not to hear. Per
haps it was the noise of the moving car
that prevented. Then site spoke a little
louder, and held the flower forward tempt
ingly—
“Baby may have the posey?”
The mother heard, for she looked toward
the other lady and smiled—and 0I1! such a
look of heartfelt gratitude, of motherly
love, yet heavily saddened with such an ex
pressive tinge of sorrow as is seldom seen.
And still the lady of the rose pressed upon
the little one acceptance of the flower.
“Baby, tak6 the rose,” holding it almost
to the child’s hands. And now it seemed
she was heard, for the blue eyes turned full
upon her would be patron, and then in a
moment she strongly drew baek and turn
ed her eyes appealingly toward iter moth
er’s face. The lady with tiie flower showed
her bewilderment in her look, while a pain
ed expression flitted across the lace of the
mother, who leaned forward aud whispered
just a word—
“My darling is blind?”
Then the whole sunless, darkened life of
the fair little being—fair as the flower
which had been offered to iter—came up
before the mind. All beauty shut out
from her forever! For her no foliage-
strewn, flower-studded scene to follow the
bleakness of winter. No looking with awe
into the mysterious depths of the night
off, sparkling with glittering, twinkling,
starry-gems, for over those blue eyes the
Creator in the mystery of His designs, had
given the impenetrable vail. No expectant
gaze toward the mother’s face for the gen
tle smile that ever soothes a childish
trouble; only the blind passage of t’ e
little hand over and over those features, for
a moment’s sight of which that growing
one will often and often willingly pass
years of existence. For her the birds will
sing; the loveliness of form and feather
are not. For her, while the babbling
stream may make mysterious music, its
dimpled waves and winding reaches and
verdant banks do not exist.
How bitterly vivid all this as the lady
opened the little hand and shut within it
the thornless stem of the rase, now bearing
a tear on the petals!
And there were other swimming eyes in
the car. _
A PRACTICAL POET.
Benjamin F. Taylor, the poet, lias recent
ly written a letter to a young girl at the
academy in Lowville, Lowis county, N. Y.,
in which he mixes up poetry and good ad
vice in equal doses most charmingly. What
Mr. Taylor Rays will bear repetition: ”I
call you a girl, but it is not the fasliion any
more. The girls are gone and there is no
body left but young ladies. I like girls
best. There used to be a flock of Carolines
in Lowville, and as fair a flock as ever wore
muslin. There were Caroline Collins, Car
oline Northrup, Caroline Dayan and ever
so many more. There were* Cornelias,
Janes, Elizabeths, Marys and Paulinas.
They were all girls, and they never scorn
ed the title. Now they would be Carries
and Nellies, Lizzies, Mamies, Jennies and
Cornies, and young ladies withal, every
daughter of them. Let us not end our
m«m in Te.’ Let us not forget that af
fectation is the art of being a fool accord
ing to rule. Let us learn to work worsted ■
cats of impossible pink, if wc must, but let
us know how to make Indian pudding and
a golden loaf of corn-bread as well. Let
us talk French if we can, but let us avoid
'slang’ as we would pestilence and famine#
Pure and undefiled English never sounds
so musically as it does from the unadulter
ated lips of a genuine girl. Let us learn
the exquisite art of keeping young. You

KALLOCH—DeYOUNG.
.Personal Sketches.
[Exchange.J
Charles DeYoung, the senior proprietor
of the San Francisco “Chronicle,” is a na-
I tive of New Orleans, La., and is of French
extraction. He is the eldestof three broth
ers, and, the family being very p<x>r, he re
ceived little or no education. He began
life in Sun Francisco as a newsboy, in
which way he supported his mother for
yt-ars. He was afterwards apprenticed to
the printer’s trade, but learned even that
imperfectly, beginning business for him
self before his apprenticeship expired. In
1859 he started the “Dramatic Chronicle,”
which had a small and unpromising be
ginning, but which in a few years took a
strong hold, and developed into a success
ful enterprise. Finally he associated his
brothers in the paper, Henry being busi
ness manager and Michael attending to
outside affairs, Charles .attending ,to the
editing. Soon after the war the paper gave
way to the San Francisco “Chronicle.” Mr.
DeYoung is a mail of great enterprise In
securing news, and, whilst he cannot write
an editorial himself, he knows when an ed
itorial suits him, and he prints none that
do not reflect .his views. A prominent char
acteristic of the man is strong love for liis
mother, who is about seventy years of age.
During the troubles arising from the publi
cation of the scandalous article in the San
Francisco “Sun,” out of which the shooting
grew, the “Chronicle” was necessarily
obliged to print the news regarding the ar
rest and trials of the pointers and Naptiia-
ly but Mrs. De Y'oung never saw a line of
it. A special edition of one copy of the
“Chronicle” was printed every night, and
left with the old lady by the regular car
rier, and but for the affair of Saturday it
is doubtful if Mrs. DeYoung would ever
have known that she had been distespect-
fully mentioned. As a business man De
Young holds a high position in San Fran
cisco, and his paper is probably worth to
day $250,000.
Rev. I. S. Kalloch was born in Portland,
Me., where his father was also a preacher.
In college he is said to have been a wild
boy, and early evinced a*fondness for wo
men of a most dangerous and compromising
order. He was the first regular pastor of
the Temple Society, which built the Tre-
mont Temple, Boston, and soon became
noted for tiie plainness and boldness of his
language, being both eloquent and sensa
tional. In January, 1857, stories were cir
culated about his doubtful attentions to
certain ladles of his congregation, but the
trustees of the Temple, after an investiga
tion, rendered a report setting forth that
the innocence of Mr. Kalloch was fully es
tablished in their minds. In February of
tiie same year, however, Mr. Kalloch was
indicted by the grand jury of Boston for
adultery with an unknown woman at the
Lachmere Hotel, whom he had introduced
to the proprietor of the hotel as his wife.
The trial lasted three days, and resulted in
a hung jury, (eight being for acquittal and
four for conviction. He resumed his pas
toral duties and the church and congrega
tion stood by iiiru, but his usefulness was
undoubtedly impaired in Boston. He sub
sequently accepted a call to the Laight
Street Baptist Church, of New York, and
from there went West—first to Kansas,
then on to California. In Kansas there
were reports of a trouble similar to that in
Boston.
II UMBER 7.
Tbr General IsKeikbi).
Atlanta. August 25. -The Senate recon
sidered the bill to prevent tue killing of
wild deer between the 1st of March and the
1st of October.
Bills were passed to amend the law as to
criminal bails; to provMe for the organis
ing of county chain-gangs to work out mis
demeanors; to amend the charter of the
town of ( rawfordville so as to allow a spe
cial license tax on spirijous liquors; to de
fine tiie offense of shooting another, and to
prescribe a punishment thereof.
Several bills affecting Atlanta passed.
At this point Mr. Hoiton said that, as the
hand of Providence has taken away Senator
Jacob C.- Clemente, of the Fifteenth Dis
trict, and as it has been the custom to
take some formal notice of the death of
any member occurring during the session,
he desired to introduce a resolution that
a committee of live be appointed “to draft
suitable resolutions, and that the Senate
do now adjourn until to-morrow, in respect
to our deceased brother.” The resolution
was adopted. Messrs* Holton, Wellborn,
Hudson, Harrison and Cutnutiug were ap
pointed as the committee.
In the House, several local bills were
passed.
The difference witli the Senate on the bill
prescribing punishment for burglary was
adjusted by the adoption of the report of
the committee of conference. •
The special order was the continuation of
the consideration of tt^e railroad bill, Mr.
Fort, of Sumter, having tiie floor. After
Mr. Fort had concluded, ho was followed
by Messrs. Colley, of Wilkes, and Yancey,
of Clarke, in arguments upon the bill. Mr.
Wright of Richmond, withdrew his substi
tute, and Mr. Yancey’s amendment was
likewise withdrawn.
Mr. Hanks, of Whitfield,offered a lengthy
substitute to the first section of the bill
giving the selection of the commissioners
to the General Assembly instead of to the
Governor, which was lest.
Mr. Westbrooks, of Dougherty, offered
an amendment to the amendment of Mr.
Hanks, of Whitfield, which was to strike
out that portion of the substitute giving
tiie selection of commissioners to tiie Gen
eral Assembly, which was lost. The Houso
adjourned to half-past three to continue
the discussion.
At the afternoon session the Railroad bill
was postponed to Friday, and bills were
read the second time.
A FAT MAN'S UTILITY.
The Providence Journal on Friday last
took a ride in the horse-cars and this was
written in the diary of the reporter. It has
its equivalent of meaning in the Third
Avenue ears every day. “How fine, how
different from most of'folks!” exclaimed a
passenger as a fat man got in while the
driver of the car was making an exchange
of horses. The speaker was a queer-fook-
ing man, with a kind of vegetable make-up
of human features, great'gooseberry eyes
and wild head of hair that had about it the
faded and tousled appearance of late aspar
agus. “I like to have a heavy man, a real
busting, big, fat man get on a car. I wel
come him blowing and spooning along as
an old sailor does a sperm whale. ‘There
sho blows!’ I say to myself when I see old
obesity coming.”
“Why do yoU give a fat man such a glad
welcome,” inquired a lean passenger, gnaw
ing at the alligator on his umbrella handle,
as if he “denied the allegation and defied
the alligator.” “For the reason,” replied
the vegetable man, raising his voice and
pulling down his vest, “that, firstly, he
brings ballast to the car; his ponderosity
steadies it, his obesity prevents it from tip
ping over, his tangibility destroys thesense
of emptiness. Woe unto the wheels that
run into this ear with this mammoth man
on board! Teamsters see him and steer
close to the curbstone. Again, the fat
man, the moment he settles himself into a
car, restores the equilibrium of tilings. He
crowds a young girl and a young fellow,
foolishly sitting apart, closer together.—
This is the order of things. This very en
forced contiguity may lead to their acquain
tance, courtship, marriage. He causes a
conceited aud selfish chap to take down his
feet and contract himself to his natural
sphere of insignificance and narrowness.
Once more, the fat man is the best of all
baby-soothers. No baby, however cross-
grained or peevish, feels' like crying after a
fat man gets aboard. If they undertake to,
they only laugh. All the tehrs run out of
their mouths.”
“Quiet and silence followed these obser
vations.” continues the Providence Journal,
“when suddenly a frightfully bald baby set
a terrific and unsubsiding yell, like a young
sea lion that had caught its paw In a rock.
Nothing could subdue it. W6men handed
it their parasol handles, watches and
purses, but all alike in vain, when present
ly another fat man bustled Into the car
right cheerily. The baby looked at him
for a moment admirably, then shut its vo
ciferous little moutli, then looked again
and clambered up on the man’s knee, next
to his shoulders and at last to his stairway
of chins, which it nimbly climbed up and
tried to pull off his ear as if it was a Noah’s
ark put there fora baby’s amusement.”
