TAPPING THE HIKES.
lhe Pennsylvania Democratic Convention
assembled at half-past nine yesterday morn
ing In Harrisburg. The Special Commit
tee on Credentials reported that decisions
had been arrived at in every case, and that
both factions of the party were anxious for
peace and harmony. The report was adopt
ed. The roil was called and organization
perfected. A long series of resolu
tions embodying the usual enunciation of
Democratic principles were adopted. A
resolution to instruct the delegates to Cin
cinnati to vote as a unit, and to favor the
abrogation of the two-thirds rule, caused
considerable excitement, and an amendment
offered by the Randall wing to vote
against the two thirds rule, and In opposition
to the delegates voting as a unit, was finally
adopted, amid cheering. After nominating
a State ticket, and the appointment of dele
gates to Cincinnati, the convention ad
journed. The delegation stands thirty-eight
against to twenty for Tilden’s nomination.
These figures are not controverted by the
Tilden men.
Several additional Ministerial appoint
ments have been made in Great Britain,
and the new Cabinet, with fourteen mem
bers, is now complete.
The British Parliament was formally
opened yesterday by Lord Selborne, the
Lord High Chancellor. The procedure
merely consisted of summoning the Com
mons to the bar of the House of Lords, and
requesting them to elect a Speaker. There
was a meagre attendance of Irish members
because of a meeting at Dublin for confer
ence on the land question. The House was
crowded, both on the floor and in the gal
leries.
In the Senate yesterday the day was spent
considering the bill establishing a retired
list of non-commissioned officers until the ex
piration of the morning hour. At that time
the Indian appropriation bill was taken up,
and after the amendment striking out the
clause abolishing the Indian Commission
was agreed to, and after separate votes on
other unimportant amendments, the Senate
adjourned. The House was occupied mainly
during the day in discussing In committee
of the whole the bill amending the revenue
laws. Several amendments were passed
upon, and without action the committee
were discharged, and the House took a re
cess until the evening to consider the bill to
establish a Court of Pensions.
A special from Denver, Colorado, an
nounces that the occupation of the mineral
lands of the Ufce reservation formally began
yesterday. A party of one hundred and
twenty six men, well armed and equipped,
and prepared to fight in case they are mo
lested by Utes or aDy one else, left Lead-
ville last Saturday. They are known as the
Bell expedition.
The Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
yesterday decided that the clause of the Mc
Cullough bill exempting State obligations
from taxation was constitutional and valid,
and that the State was bound to receive for
State due6 coupons attached to bonds issued
under that act at their face value. It was
also decided that the law making said cou
pons receivable for State dues was constitu
tional and valid.
A cyclone passed over the southeastern
portion of Columbia, S. C., yesterday, blow
ing down large trees and destroying two
houses, one containing a negro family of
eight, and another a family of three. News
from below the city is to the effect that
many buildings were carried away.
The South Carolina Radical Convention
yesterday appointed delegates to Chicago
and adopted resolutions denouncing the
Whittaker outrage, and also resolutions de
nouncing the bestowal of Federal offices on
Democrats. A resolution to instruct the
delegates to yote for Blaine in case Grant
could not be nominated, but in no
contingency to vote for Sherman, was
tabled and the convention adjourned.
The Arkansas Radical Convention yester
day instructed its delegates to Chicago to
vote for Grant, and to use ev^ry effort to
secure his nomination.
The London Times, in an editorial on Lord
Why Radicalism is Odious iu the
South.
It is a common charge, uttered by the
Radical press of the North with intent
to excite prejudice in that section against
the South, that it is enough for a North
ern man comiDg to this section to an
nounce himself a Republican to most
surely cause him to be placed under the
ban of society, and to be subjected to
social ostracism. Like all other charges
from the same source with like intent
this one, in the abstract, is false.
Our people do not ostracise
man tor his Republicanism per se,
witness the many Northern men, and
Republicans, scattered all over the
South, who are treated with politeness
and consideration. If a Republican
makes himself politically offensive in the
South he is, very naturally, shunned
for the simple reason that there is no
point of congeniality between him and
the people of our section, and therefore
there is nothing to draw the two to
gether. Let him, however, vote as he
sees fit, but at the same time show pro
per regard for the rights and feelings of
the people of the South, and his political
preferences can be freely indulged with
out affecting his social status.
It must, however, be admitted that
while this is literally true, it is no pass
port to the favor of the better classes of
the South for a man to be a Radical in pol
ilics. Radicalism is, or ought to be every
where, odious, but especially is it so in
the South. Here it is not only as at the
North, the synonym for corruption
fraud and all manner of wicked
n* ss, but it is associated in the
minds of our people with hate
of the South, tyranny, despotism,
carpetbagism and thievery. In the
North its wickedness is gilded over with
wealth, quasi refinement and respecta
bility. Here it stands out in all its naked
deformity, and its invariable accom
paniments are ignorance, vulgarity, dis
honesty, impudence, and an unconcealed
and unconcealable longing for plunder.
No better proof of this is needed than
is afforded by the Radical convention
so recently held in Atlanta. We ven
ture to assert that no assemblage more
like a menagerie was ever convened
within the limits ofj)ui State. Wrangle
after wrangle, confusion? after confusion
white against black, and black against
white, vulgarity and impudence unpre
cedented marked the body, and for what
Not to carry out any political principle,
or to secure the triumph of even any
pretended patriotic idea, but solely (1st)
for personal supremacy in the State, so
that should by any untoward mischance
such a dire catastrophe as Georgia goin^
Republican occur, there might be 4»e-
cured absolute power over the spoils, and
(2d) for the triumph of an individual
favorite at the Chicago Convention so
that, if elected, his supporters would
be able to come in for
liberal supply of public plunder.
So prevalent, indeed, are these ileas in the
minds of Georgia Republicans, that in the
convention we are discussing,the negroes,
who are largely in the majority in the
party, determined no longer to be the
tools and dupes of their white con
federates, but boldly asserted their right
to rule the party and to enjoy their share
of the offices. And so loth, too, were
their white brethren to yield this to
them that, since the convention, they
have declared their intention to draw the
color line and let the negroes go,
rather than suffer them to receive
even a fair proportion of the spoils.
As we have said, these ideas rule Radical
conventions everywhere, but in the North
they are in accord with the sectional pie
judice and interest, and by the aid of
wealth and claims to respectability, like
a sugar coated pill, made palatable artifi
daily. Here, however, alien and antago
nistic, they are presented in all their hid
eousness, and in a manner ODly to excite
disgust among the better classes of our
people. In a word, Radicalism in the
North is a native production. In the
South it is au exotic, and opposed to the
best interests of our section.
This is why Itadicalism is specially
odious in the South. And this is why, in
the opinion of Southern menjgenerally.the
man who affiliates with the Radical par
ty in this section is regarded as having,
to a great degree, allied himself with the
enemies of the State, forfeited his self
respect and therefore forfeited his claims
to the respect of others.
Carlingford, the new appointed Ambassa
dor to Constantinople, says he has had no
diplomatic experience, bat as twice Chief
Secretary o' Ireland he showed great firm
ness of purpose. It says he will need all
the qualities of a diplomat to successfully
carry out the task of bringing the Porte to
appreciate the good advice of the govern
ment and its own interests.
A severe wind storm prevailed in various
parts of Texas yesterday, uprooting trees,
blowing down fences, leveling houses, and
doing great damage generally. At the towns
of Plano, McKinney’s, Brenham, Darllla,
Greenville aDd the adjacent country there
was much destruction of property. No loss
of life is reported.
Frofits of Rose Culture.—It is
stated, as sliowmg the profits from rose
culture, that in 1871 a florist in Massa
chusetts set out five rose bushes of the
General Jacqueminot variety, in a new
greenhouse 13 feet by 100. The first
crop of flowers he sold for 4 cents each,
with his tea roses. The next year they
sold for $1 per dozen, and the next for
$2 per dozen. During the month of
February of this year he cut 1.052 roses,
which he sold to the florists in Boston
for from 25 to 50 cents each, netting him
$440 50. Since that time he has cut and
sold enough to inalte the amount over
$500 in the Aggregate frpm the five
plants. A second crop from the same
plant is now coming in.
The Third Term Jig in Illinois.
The Philadelphia Telegraph (Independ
ent Republican) thinks the third term
jig is up in Illinois, sure enough.
Things must be in a very bad state, in
deed, says that paper, when Logan
ceases his blatant defiance and becomes
humbly despondent. He left his Sena
torial duties a fortnight since to go home
and set the boom on its pins after the
demoralizing work of its enemies. He
was the central figure in the grand Lin
coin and Douglass body snatching busi
ness, making one of his renowned at
tacks on the opponents of Grantism and
on the English language. Then the
Senator cast his eagle eye over the field
to see what was necessary to be done.
The prospect doubled him up, and he
has suddenly returned to Washington for
repairs, a sadder and a very much wiser
mao. He is no mad that he can’t help
showing it, and will probably “jump on
Blaine” before the week is out. He may
get the better of his temper, however,
and conclude that the man from Maine
isn’t such a terrible fellow after all. In
fact, it will not be surprising if the
heroic Logan turns out a red-hot Blaine
man within ten days. That’s the kind
of a patriot this dark-haired son of the
West has frequently shown himself
to be.
The Washington National Republican,
alludiog to the recent Republican Con
vention in this t?tate, spitefully says:
"More than one third of the counties
were not represented by bona fide dele
gates. Printed forms of credentials were
provided and filled up by the committee
on credentials with the names of men
hanging about Atlanta, principally spe
cial agents, gaugers, deputy marshals
and other revenue officials. At least
fifty delegates were thus made and placed
on the rolls as delegates. Every manu
factured delegate was anti-Grant.”
Mr. Hayes made a mistake in sending
District Attorney Townsend to West
Point as lawyer for the colored cadet.
Leaving out of view the imputation upon
General Schofield as a fair man and im
partial officer, and upon West Point
generally as a place where no justice is
tn be expected,the conduct of Ylr.Towns-
end, in trying to “bulldoze” all wit
nesses, negroes included, who do not
favor Whittaker’s case, has proved more
a damage than an aid to the case for the
colored cadet.
The widow of the late President
Thiers, of France, has sent to Vice

Converting British Consols.—The
London Times gives guarded currency
to a report that the Liberal govern
ment just coming into office in
Great Britain intend to convert consols
into a stock bearing interest at 24 per
cent. The rumor is sustained in some
measure by the fact that consols are
rising in price beyond the change na
tural to be expected from Mr. Glad
6tone’s pacific intentions and financial
prestige, and the Times says that “there
is just sufficient possibility in the sug
gestion to make it worth repeating.”
At the same time the present rise in
prices makes the conversion difficult to
effect, if intended. Consols are now
quoted at 98 5 16, which is higher than
the average price, though they were
once or twice quoted higher during the
dull times last year. Consols represent
the funded debt of the United Kingdom,
which at the close of 1879 was £709,-
430,594, costing, in annual interest and
charges, $27,222,732. It is estimated
that by converting them a saving of
three and a half or four millions can be
effected. This, of course, includes the
funding of the floating debt, which is
comparatively large.
Tcc New Orleans Picayune says that
eight white citizens were recently con
victed in Ouachita parish, La., by a white
jury, for assault on a negro, and fined
$25 each.
Late Decision on Life Insurance.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
gave a recent opinion on the subject of
life insurance that will lead life insurance
companies of that and other States to
examine carefully into the printed for
mulas which constitute the contract be
tween the insurer and the insured. The
policy in litigation had been issued by
the Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York. In the application which
had been signed by the person to whom
the policy was issued were the words
The applicant “further declares that he
is not now afflicted with any disease or
disorder, and that he does not now, nor
will he, practice any pernicious habit
that obviously tends to the shortening of
life.”
One of the conditions of the policy
was that if any of the statements or de
clarations made in the application should
be found in any respect untrue, the poli
cy should be void. At the time of mak
ing the application and taking out the
policy, the insured was a man of good
habits, but some years afterward he took
to drinking and was attacked with deli
rium tremens, which caused his death
The company refused to pay the policy
and suit was entered. It was not alleged
by the company that the habits of the
insured were objectionable when he took
out the policy, but it was claimed that
he had bound himself for the future as
well as for the present not to practice
any habit that might teDd to shorten his
life, and the violation of this pledge nul
lified the contract. The lower court sus
tained this view and the case was then
carried to the Supreme Court.
The decision of this court reversed the
judgment and ordered the payment of
the policy with interest. The opinion of
the court was that, as the insured had not
made any false representations of exist
ing facts in his application for insurance,
the controlling question was whether his
declaration as to his future intention, and
his failure to carry out that intention,
were sufficient to work a forfeiture of the
policy. The court held that in no part
of the application “had the insured
covenanted, promised, agreed, or war
ranted not to practice any pernicious
habit. He declared that he would not
but the legal effect of a declaration is
very different from that of a covenant or
agreement.” The court further express
ed that there was no clause iu the policy
providing that “if the insured should do
anything to shorten life, the policy
should, ipso facto, become void.’’ The
stipulations that the policy should be
null if any of the statements or declara
tions made in the application should be
found uDtrue, “evidently referred to a
state of things existing at the time the
policy was issued.” But as to these mat
ters there was no misrepresentation.
American Fishermen—The Fortune
Bay Claims.
A rumor, which is officially discredited,
has been set afoot to the effect that
United States vessels are to be sent to
Canada and Newfoundland waters to
protect American fishermen. This rumor
and the resolution iu Congress calling on
the Secretary of State for the corre
spondence with the British foreign office
have caused some talk. In fact. Secretary
Evarts has been pressing for some time
a claim of American fishermen for $103,
000 damages for losses occasioned by the
seizure of their boats and the destruction
of their nets at Fortune Bay, Newfound
land. There has been much corre
spondence on this subject, the essential
part of which has been made public.
Lord Salisbury lias always denied
the justic3 and validity of the
claims presented through Mr. Evarts.
He has insisted that tlie fisher
men who were disturbed were violating
the treaty and the local laws defended
under it, and he has finally refused any
longer to consider these claims. These
will still be pressed, it is probable, but
their rejection can hardly be taken as a
casus belli. The treaty of Washington,
article 32, decl&ics expressly that the
provisions of articles IS to 25 of this
treaty (the same for which the United
States were adjudged to pay by the Hali
fax commissioners the sum of $5,500,-
000; “shall extend to the colony of New
foundland, no far as they are applies ible."
It is under this cl use that Lord Salis
bury insists that the United States ac
cepted the fishery rights subject to all
local acts and regulations in force at the
time, while he admits that under the
treaty do local act to regulate the fisheries
subsequent to the treaty would affect the
rights which the United States acquired
by its promulgation.
Mr. Hayes and Congress.
A Washington special dispatch says
that there is excellent reason for the pre
diction that Mr. Hayes will sign the army
appropriation bill now in his hands, and
veto the immediate deficiency bill which
is yet to be acted upon by a committee
of conference. The ground on which he ,
will veto the immediate deficiency bill
will be substantially the same that was
stated in the veto message of the extra
session. The Executive is required to
execute the election law as well as all
other statutes of the United States, and
the “rider” on the deficiency bill, al
though in some respects different from
those which it was attempted to pass
last season, will in effect prevent him
from doing so. It is said among the
Democrats of the House that if Hayes
vetoes the deficiency bill, the House will
send him another bill containing the
items which that measure embraces, ex
cept the Appropriation for United States
marshals, and will refuse to make any
appropriation for the marshals until he
is willing to approve a bill with such
conditions as they see fit to impose.
Why Delay the New Tariff on Sugar?
A great struggle is going on in the
Committee of Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives over the sub
ject of tariff reform, and that important
committee seems to be so wholly under
the domination of its Chairman, Mr.
Fernando Wocffi, of New York, that the
interests of the country at large are likely
to be subordinated to his peculiar views—
at least in respect to the sugar duties. The
following imaginary interview with Mr.
Wood may serve to show the attitude of
that gentleman on this subject. A re
porter of the press is supposed to seek
from the Chairman an explanation of his
course of obstruction to this particular
scheme of tariff reform, the proposed
change in sugar duties.
Reporter—dir. Wood, if an uniform,
specific rate of duty was best on tea and
coffee when the government imposed
duties on those articles, why won’t such
an uniform, specific rate of duty, say of
two cents per pound, answer for sugar;
it would give the government the neces
sary revenue, simplify its collection, and
at the same time restore to the South
Atlantic ports their lost sugar trade?
Chairman of Committee of Ways and
Means—An uniform, specific rate of duty
on sugar would open all the South At
lantic ports to direct trade in sugars.
This would give the Western States a
choice of markets, and this would bring
about excessive competition, which
would interfere with my friend.Mr.Have-
meyer, the great sugar refiner. No! Un
less such a change is proposed as will not
trespass on Mr. Havemeyer’s privileges.
I shall continue to throw every possible
obstacle in the way of any alteration of
the present tariff, which, indeed, was
made in his interest. Mr. Havemeyer
must be protected in bis sugar monopoly,
which enables him to give consumers
“cheap sugar,” even if it is accessary to
add terra alba, glucose, muriate of tin
and other foreign substances, and at the
same time to derive an enormous prefit,
which allows him to entertain handsome
ly at “Welker’s” and “Delmonico’s.’
These are among the many reasons that
lead me to oppose an uniform sugar
tariff. I do not believe in free trade
when it hurts Mr. Havemeyer. If Tuck
er, Felton, 3Iorrison, Carlisle and Town
send want tariff reform let them take up
some other article than sugar.

Briefer Spelling.
In September, 1879, the Chicago Tri
bune began some abbreviations in com
mon spelling, under the title of reforms,
its editor-in chief, Mr. Joseph Medill,
being a strong advocate far a new system
of orthography. The changes aimed
chiefly at the elimination of certain
superfluous endings of words that had
been imported into the language from
the French, such as ue in dialogue, cata
logue, pedagogue, etc., where the pre
ceding vowel is short; the dropping of
the final e in such words as definite and
favorite, and the deal tc in cigarette,
quartette, etc., and the change of ph to f
in phonetic, philosophy, phantom, etc.
Last Sunday the Tribune published let
ters from one hundred representative
men,including twenty Presidents of lead
ing colleges and forty-five principals of
educational institutions, all favoring ti e
new spelling, which has also been adopted
by the Utica Herald, the Toledo Blade,
the Library Journal, the Princeton Re
view, the New York Lndependent, and a
number of newspapers widely known.
The English language is no doubt incum
bered by a load of useless silent letters,
but it will take a large amount of educa
tion to reconcile the masses of the people
to all the changes proposed. - As it will
require quite as much effort to unlearn
the present mode of spelling as to learn
the new, wouldn’t it be just as well to
imitate the pedestrians and adopt a spell
as you-piease system, allowing each one
to invent his own orthography?
Another Speck of Indl.cn War.—It
is only a few weeks since we were told
that Sitting Bull and his tribe were com
ing in to surrender, and the onty ques
tion at the War and Interior Departments
was what disposition to make of the cap
tives. It now appears that the War De
partment has information that the old
warrior and his band only stooped to con
quer. An alliance is rumored to have
been formed by Sitting Bull with
the Blackfeet, who hunt on both
the Canadian border, and comprise
the Piegans, Crees and other
bands, and also with the tribes
called the River add Mountain Crows,
who either roam from the ^Tind giver
mountains to the Missouri, or are settled
on poor reservations west of Nebraska.
Some of these Indians have been on the
war-path of late years, but many have
done good service as scouts, and some
were killed in Custer’s battle on the
Rosebud, bravely fighting by the side of
Custer’s men.

The Blaine and Sherman men con
gratulate themselves on tlie result of
their labors in Georgia, but, the Nash
ville American thinks, their joy will not
last longer than the first ballot in Chi
cago. The delegates from the Southern
States will be generally for Grant, and
those who are not will stampede in the
direction of the “conquering hero” at a
very early period if they do not go to
him on the first ballot. They will go on
the first ballot because Grant will have a
majority and they will not iun the risk
of being “left.” A Southern delegate
would be struck speechless if he were
to find himself without the wedding
garment of the Grant party. He
would feel himself cast into the
outer darkness of private life, when
his sole object in life is an office of the
fat kind. The support Sherman has is
of that half-hearted kind he has forced by
holding in terrorem over his officials dis
missal from office. These men will run
the risk of dismissal when it comes to
votiDg in the convention. A bird in the
hand for only a few months is not worth
so much as a bird in the bush which can
easily be taken by the martyrdom of be
ing dismissed for devotion to Grant.
The officials have confidence in Grant’s
election, and they will not support Slier
man when they know in advance that
his nomination is an impossibility.
Special Telearam to lhe Morning Neic*.
Washington, April 29.—Colonel Thomp
sou, Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service, and other officers of the Post Office
Department have to-day estimated the time
that would be saved by the proposed fast
mail service in the South. The proposition
Is to establish two fast mail lines. One of
them is to be between New York and New
Orleans by way of Atlanta. The reduction
in time between New York and New Orleans
would be one whole day. The other line
proposed is between New York, Savannah
and Jacksonville. The reduction of time
between New York and Jacksonville in the
conveyance ot the mails would be thirty-
six hours. This would Insure & reduc
tion between New York and Savan
nah of one whole day, and a cor
responding redaction between here and
Savannah. The importance to the business
interests over the routes covered is evident.
The establishment of fast mall service in
the North and West has been of incalcula
ble advantage to those sections. It is
strange that there are found a few Southern
members of Congress who oppose its pro
posed extension in the South. They say it
will cost too much, and Jo not 6ee how it
can be of material benefit. As heretofore
stated in your Washington correspondence,
the Post Office Department is heartily in
favor of the extension. The officials of the
department know of the good results that
have followed its establishment where it
now exists. The amount now appropriated
for special postal facilities, which covers
the fast mail service, is $150,000. An ad
dition to this appropriation, to be
determined upon calculations to be made,
would cover the routes in the South which
the business men and all who want quick
mails eamessly desire and urge.
The name of Postmaster General Key will
be sent to the 8enate shortly as the Judge
of the United States Circuit Court in East
ern Tennessee to succeed Judge Trigg, de
ceased. That such a resolution was proba
ble has been known here for some time, as
heretofore stated in the News. There will
be do opposition to Judge Key’s confirma
tion by the Senate. He is held in much
higher estimation by Southern members
than is generally understood.
It is becoming generally known amoDg
Democrats that Seymour will accept the
Presidential nomination if the Cincinnati
Convention tenders it him with
free and undisputed hand. He
is the only Democrat who can
carry the State of New York without any
dubious probabilities. His adherents in
Congressional circles are increasing daily.
There seems to be a steady stream forward
that Seymour shall head the ticket. Ue
would beat any man who could be put up
by the Republicans.
The New England delegation and Middle
States Republican Congressmen are moving
very aggressively to have Representative
Joe Hawley, of Connecticut, made second
man on the Republican ticket, in case the
first man is not from that section.
GEORGIA MOONSHINERS.
They Are to be Crashed Out
By Telegraph to the Morning New*.
Washington, April 29.—Commissioner
Raum has organized four raiding parties
with a view' to crushing out illicit distilla
tion in the four northern counties of
Georgia. Revenue Agent Whitfield has
been placed in charge of operations in Fan
nm county, and agents Kellogg in Union
county, Chapman in Rabun county, and

Bv Telegraph to the Morning Hews.
Macon, Ga., April 29.—The first barrel
of Georgia flour was shipped from this city
to-day. The wheat was cut in Lee county,
April 10th, four and a half months after it
was sown.
John Russell Young reports General
Grant as follows upon reconstruction:
“ Military rule would have been just
to all—to the negro, who wanted free
dom: the white man, who wanted pro
tection; and the Northern man, who
wanted union. As Slate after State
showed a willingness to come into the
Union, not upon thpir own terms, but
upon ours, I would have admitted them.
This would have made universal suffrage
unnecessaiy, and I think a mistake was
made about suffrage. It was unjust to
the Degro to throw upon him the respon
sibility of citizenship and expect him to
be on even terms with his white neigh
bor. It was unjust to the North, in
giving the South ne^ro suffrage we have
given the old slaveholders forty votes.”
And yet the negroes are nearly all wild
over Grant, who wanted them free, but
not Totere.
Temperance in Boston.—In a recent
reply to the Rev. James Freeman Clarke,
Wendell Phillips says: “Fashion in
Boston imperiously orders the use and

created and ruled by rum. Trade,

Blind habit fancies it9elf science, and
parades as such in supporting it. The

what touches reform, and reading Shake

THE CONFEDERATE LIFE
SERVER.
PRE
How Alrxnndrr Stephen. Defle. the
Old tlan with the Slekle.
The Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle claims to have solved a
problem that has long vexed close ob
servers at the capitol. He savs:
“ Nobody ever expects that Mr. Steph
ens will die a natural death. That fond
hope has been long since abandoned. He
can tackle the old'man with the sickle
keen, or the gentleman who is more
familiarly known as the Reaper, whose
name is Death, more frequently and sue
cessfully than any well-bred giant on the
globe. Do you know the secret of it?
Easy and regular habits? Well, perhaps
these may have something to do with pre
serving this frail anatomy. He recreates
with whist, and goes to bed at 10 o’clock
but, my word for it. he can systematical
ly out-eat any disease known in the doc
tors’ calendar. It is the eighth wonder
of the world to see this delicate repre
sentative of the human race turned loose
on a bill of fare. It literally bears out
the remark of Bob Toombs that he is
hollow all the way down to his ankles. He
weighs ninety-two pounds—a Democratic
gain of one pound since the last count
was taken—and he can absolutely hide
away in the course of the twenty-four
hours more solid nourishment than any
man in CoDgress. and perhaps out of it.
Now something poetic and refined and
romantic, such as a diet of rose leaves or
nightingales' tongues, might be expected
from a man who draws his coat closer on
the approach of a gentle breeze, wears
his hat in the house and carries about
gloved hands. But we are forced to the
conclusion that Uncle Alec has creature
instincts. He stowed away, to my cer
tain knowledge, on a recent occasion, s
sheep’s head fish (preceded by soup), two
kinds of meat iD most liberal propor
tions, and a vast quantity of side dishes
and vegetables. This difficult feat he
accomplished with a gusto and relish
that would bring a blush to the cheek of
the most traveled gourmand; and, when
the deed was done, the plates looked as
if a stroke of lightning had been at work
in the neighborhood. Of course, it is
useless for Death to take liberties with
such a life preserver as Stephens.
Nothing but a railroad collision or a bal
loon trip will have any effect on him.
A RIDE IN A FLY WHEEL.
Tlie Ad ven tare of au Inquisitive Skye
Terrier who tru Fond ot Ma
chinery.
As the great fly wheel in the engine
room of P. Lorillard & Co.’s tobacco
factory in Jersey City whirled around,
appearing to the eye like a shining disk.
Chief Engineer Morrin said lo the re
porter, pointing to the wheel: “There is
a remarkable slory connected with that
wheel. I lost a little dog, not long ago,
that went through an experience with
that wheel such as probably no other
living creature ever survived. Sly little
dog, Jersey, was a p'avful fellow, a Skye
terrier of a good strain. Jersey had an
inquiring turn of mind as to the ma
chinery, and when not watched, went
about, snuffing at every part within his
reach. But he stepped very gingerly,
and we never dreamed that he would
trust himself in harm’s way. At about
9:30 o’clock one morning, nearly three
years ago, I saw him dozing under my
desk there. I went out of the room for
a moment, aud when I returned I missed
Jersey. I looked for him, but could not
find him. Then I whistled and called.
I heard a plaintive wail coming from
among the machinery. It was so faint
that 1 supposed Jersey might have fallen
down the fly-wheel race into the cellar.
I lit a lantern and groped among the ma
chinery in the cellar, but vainly. Occa
sionally I beard the wail repeated, each
time less distinctly. At 12 o’clock the
machinery was stopped. The last revo
lution of the fly wheel threw a little
fluffy object at the feet of one of the
firemen in the cellar. He picked it
up and, running to the light, saw
that it was poor Jersey. lie
did not appear to breathe, and his
body was cold. The fireman called me,
and I said that it was all over with the
dog. But the fireman felt warmth in
the tip of his right car, and we set to
work to resuscitate him. Id half an hour
he got up, shook himself as though he
wanted to find out whether he' was
all there, and began to frisk around
me. Well, he had been in the fly-wheel
for fully two hours and a half, revolvin
at the rate of about fifty revolutions to
tbe minute. He was probably making a
little private examination of the working
of tbe wlieel, when be lost his balance
and fell into one of lhe segments of lhe
wheel. The rapid motion kept him in
place until the machinery was stopped.
He was snug enough where he %vas, but
the breath was almost out of his body
when the wheel stopped. He lived, ap
parent]v in good health, until some time
ago. Then he died.”

ECONOMY IS H EALTH.
To save where you can is a laudable
aim. Nobody has any money to throw
away. The ODly way to save is to buy
from first hands —from the manufacturer.
Keep the fact well in mind before pur
chasing elsewhere, that we manufacture
all our ClothiDg. Other houses may
blow, but in comparing prices with ours
the public will soon find out that it is
only brag. They buy their goods of the
manufacturer and have to pay a profit
besides. Our business in conducted with tlie
aim to sell direct to the consumer at the
same price as retailers have to pay to
wholesale houses in New York. Tbe
immense amount of business we do
enables us to sell with a 6mall profit.
Everybody buying of the Famous New
Turk Clothing Douse saves money. Our
Clothing for Spring and Summer for
style, beauty of material and low prices
surpass* all our previous efforts. We

A tramp was put to work cutting the
grass in a graveyard at Decatur, Ala.
He soon abandoned the job, and declared
that a young woman in one of the graves
had warned him not to disturb the grass
over her. What convinced the neigh
bors of the man’s truthfulness was the
fact that he gave the name of the grave’s
occupant, though there was no tomb
stone to convey the information, and he
was a stranger in those parts.
