A New York protection journal advo

The United States Circuit Court at New
Orleans has decided a suit in favor of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com
pany, in which the principle is laid down
that a railroad company is not responsi
ble for valuable articles carried in the
hands of passengers and lost out of car
windows. The decision is a very just
one, and it seems strange that there ever
should have been enough doubt on the
subject to have induced the bringing of
such a suit.
Doubtless that highly virtuous states

Our esteemed contemporary,the Atlanta
Constitution, does not display its usual
amiability in replying to our few timely
and well-meant remarks respecting the
scheme of the Atlanta Commissioner to
have a separate exhibit for Atlanta at the
Cotton Centennial. It says our remarks
were ill-natured and ill-advised. They
certainly were' not intended to lie ill
natured, aud we did not desire them to he
construed that way. We do not think they
were ill-advised, but we will leave the
issue on that point to the judgment of the
public.
The Prohibition Sentiment.
The sentiment in favor of prohibiting
the liquor traffic is very strong in quite a
number of the States. It is a growing
sentiment. Last year it played quite an
important part in State and county elec
tions. It will make itself felt, doubtless,
this year. In this State and Florida the
number ot prohibition counties is large,
and is gradually growing larger. The testi
mony is that in the prohibition counties
crime has greatly decreased, and the cost
of enforcing the criminal laws is not half
what it was before prohibition went into
effect. Mr. William Hoyle, an English
statistician, has compiled some interest
ing figures, showing the relation between
liquor drinking and crime in the United
Kingdom. His figures were published in
the London Times. In 1860, with a popu
lation of 28,775,000, the sum of $426,-
3-84,350 was spent for alcoholic
beverages. In that year the total num
ber of convictions for crime was 255,803.
In 1882 the population had increased only
23 per cent. In that year the amount paid
for intoxicating liquors was $681,000,000,
and the number of convictions for crime
was 575,593. In the twenty-two years the
population had increased not quite
one-fourth, the money annually
spent for intoxicating liquors had
increased a little more than a third and
the number of convictions annually for
crime had more than doubled. The con
clusion which Mr. Hoyle reaches is that
the manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors ought to be prohibited.
Whether regulation or prohibition is
the proper remedy for the liquor evil is a
question on which the wisest differ.
As against prohibition it is
urged that it is impracticable and
impossible. It may succeed, and
does succeed in localities where the
prohibition sentiment is overwhelming,
but even there it is maintained only by
constant vigilance and a continuous war
fare. Regulation has been found to work
well where it has been given a fair trial,
and in its l'avor it is urged that it is a
remedy that can be very generally ap
plied. It is admitted, however, that it
will require years to accomplish by regu
lation what i- attempted to be accom
plished at once by prohibition. There is
little hope that the advocates of the two
remedies will ever harmonize in favor of
either.
In Hie Lust Ditch.
Outrage campaign material appears to
be rather scarce at this time, and some of
the ultra Republican journals have fallen
back on the stories about Andersonville
and other Southern prisons. There are
symptoms of a determination to take up the
cry of the alleged abuse of prisoners all
along the bloody shirt line, and to make a
last great effort to fire the Northern heart,
and so turn a considerable number of
votes in the doubtful States to the Re
publican party.
This subject has been often discussed,
ana is fully understood by all intelligent
and unprejudiced men of both sections of
the country. That there were instances
of the cruel treatment of prisoners on
both side* cannot be denied, but the
charge of wanton and systematic cruelty
to Federal prisoners in the hands of the
Confederates has more than once been
successfully my and controverted. It has
been shown by iidisputable evidence that
the prisoners received the best food,
clothing and medical treatment, with
rare exceptions, tin Confederate Gov
ernment w as able to at'ord, and whatever
unnecessary suffering tie Federal prison
ers underwent could have been avoided
by general exchange, for which the South
was at all times anxious.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages un
der which the South labored, being un
able on account of the obtain
supplies of medicine or elothingor food
to fully supply the armies in the field, a
comparison of the mortality pris
oners in the North and South shows that
the balance is largely in favor ot the
latter.
Of Federal prisoners during the war tia
Confederates had in round numbers 270,
000, of whom 22,576 died in prison. Of
Confederate prisoners there were taken in
all 220,000, of whom 26,436 died in prison.
These figures can be verified approxi
mately by reference to reliable reports in
the War Department at Washington.
After the lapse of nearly twenty years
c.c.y intelligent man, whether he
lives in the North or in the South,
ought to be able to look at this
question dispassionately and inquire
for the real causes ol the difference in
mortality. There is no doubt that the
Federal authorities were able to give
prisoners much better care than the Con
federates conld, and probably the differ
ence in climate accounts for the differ
ence in mortality of prisoners in the two
sections, hut those who are endeavoring
to make the issue of Southern cruelty
cannot deny the facts contained in the
statistics above alluded to.
While the tens of thousands of good and
true men who fought on either side are
showing patriotic evidences of fraternity
and good feeling, the efforts of the blosdy
shirt howlers to reopen the wounds of the
war can hut rebound to their own hurt.
About Canned Food.
Whether canned food is poisonous is a
question that is attracting some atten
tion at present. At a meeting of the Med
ico-Regal Society in New York city last
Thursday night a paper was read by Dr.
J. G. Johnson, of Brooklyn, who stated
that in March he attended a family of six
persons who were suffering front poison,
and he believed they had been poisoned
by eating tomatoes from a can, the lid of
which had been soldered on with mu
riatic amalgam. The doctor insisted that
amalgam of this kind was extensively
used by firms putting up canned goods.
The inference from his remarks was that
this amalgam was very dangerous. He
gave quite a number of rules for detecting
unwholesome canned goods. There were
those present at the meeting who denied
that muriatic acid was dangerous when
taken in such small quantities as could
possibly get into the contents of cans
from the soldering. It a suspicion gets
abroad that canned goods are unwhole
some, the sale of them, which is now
enormous, will rapidly fall off. There
ought to be such rigid laws with respect
to canned goods as to insure their whole
someness. People arc beginning to be
afraid to touch many articles of food that
are necessaries. Flour, baking powders,
sugar, coffee and syrup are adulterated. It
is almost impossible to get genuine butter,
and now canned food is attacked by some
of the doctors. It is about as much as
one person can do to look after the market
ing for a family, provided there is a de
termination to have only wholesome
articles of food.
The effort of Norcross, I.ongstreet and
company to organize a white Republican
party in Georgia, appears to have excited
some attention outside of Georgia. The
St. Louis Republican recommends Mr.
Norcross and his friends to read the
address ot the ttev. A. J. Warner
at a silk stocking meeting in
St. Louis one night last week. C. T. Filley
is the white man in St. Louis who con
trols the negro vote, and a good many of
the white Republican leaders don't un
derstand how it is that they have no in
fluence with the negroes. The Rev. War
ner told them. The following is an extract
from his speech:
“You all want ter know why de Filley
ites git de black men ter vote wid ’em. I
tell vor how. Yawl is highflyers. You
silk stockings and highflyers you sits out
here, you does, in yer tine parlors, in yer
stone-front houses, and yer doan mix
wid de people. But dese yuther fel
lers conies roun’ and shakes hau's
wid de niggers, goes in de nigger
houses and gits de votes. Yass,
Lawd. dey does’. * * * Ef you silks
want culled men’s votes you got ter wuk
to git’em. You hires’em iu yer stables,
but you never let Sam know you’s a Re
publicans. You should tell him. You
must talk to de culled wimmin, too, in
yer employ. You doau know what floo
ence wiiniuen is got. Why, Lawd bless
you, dey can almost make a minister
change his tex’. Now, dey talk ’bout
nigger stealin’. Dey don’t steal null. Ef
dey did dey would all have tine stone front
houses like you gemmen.”
After all the contradictory reports the

somewhat over eighty years of age and has
always lived over the same cellar which
underlies his present residence, yet notwith
standing this fact he has lived in" two States,
two counties and two towns. When a hoy lie
lived iu Massachusetts until 1819, when his
section of the oldViominonwealth became the
State of Maine. Mr. Robbies then lived in
Lincoln county. Me., until 1860, when Lincoln
county was divided, and the section in which
he lived became Knox county. Until 1629 lie
was a resident of Hope, but tlie division of
Hope in that year made him a resident of Ap
pleton.
THE NEW TENOR.
The Latest Parisian Monstrosity—Tlie
Voice of an Angel and tlie Head of a
Calf.
Parisian men and women are always on
the qui vive for anew sensation. When
Gen. Tom Thumb was on exhibition he
received a quantity of letters from French
ladies on whose too susceptible hearts the
little fellow lfhd made an impression. The
Chinese and Belgian giants had their lit
tle successes, and the living skele
ton cut everybody out, he was so
ethereal, so refined, so utterly, utterly
too, said tlie pretty dames. But
another and a greater star lias arisen,
a monstrosity; so striking, so entirely
unique, that his conquests will have to be
counted by the score. A youth with the
perfect head of a calf and the sweetest
voice in the world. llow will Parisian
beauty resist such a dear, delicious calf
of a tenor.
The tenor, or the calf, as you please,
called at the office of the Figaro the other
day to let the editorial staff feel his head
and hear his voice. This cross-examina
tion elicited the fact that Emile Boudon
was born on a farm near Lyons in 1860,
and owes his peculiar appearance to the
fact that his mother bled a calf a few
days before Emile came to light. Tlie
blood of tlie animal spirted in her face,
and, in accordance with well known
physiological laws, produced Emile’s ex
t rat irtl i nary head piece.
Emile’s lines were not cast in pleasant
places as a child. The village brats,
heartless little wretches, chased Emile
through the dirty streets, pelted him with
mud, or bellowed m-0-0-0-0 after him in
a saucy and offensive manner. For this
reason he conld not go to school, and hist
education has been sadly neglected; but
let him take heart. He" will not be the
first popular tenor who couldn’t read or
write, and if he ever strikes a high D flat
he can make enough money* to hire a man
to answer his love letters.
Nor could poor Emile find work either
as a day laborer in the country or a fac
tory hand. The peasants looked upon
him as a monster whoso parents sinned In
not smothering him at birth, and the fac
tory hands would stop work to stare at
him, and everybody knows that where
two or three hundred men are employed
everything that distracts their attention
for it few minutes costs $2 or $3 to the
employer. So poor Emile was told to
travel" He returned to his father’s little
patch, and made himself useful in chop
ping wood and leading the cattle to water.
The latter all seemed to sympathize with
him in liis misfortunes, though some of
the stuck-up calves tried to treat him as a
poor relation.
But the enterprising proprietor of a
Paris cafe concert, who happened to stop
a day or two in Lyons, heard of him and
drove out to the farm to sec the calf-man,
as the peasants called him. He found
Emile in a corner of the lot singing to
himself a French version of the well-known
ballad:
Hey diddle, diddle.
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over tlie moon.
“Bravo—bravissimo perfect splen
did!” cried the enraptured manager.
“You’re engaged now. We’ll talk about
salary later.” He was dumbfounded.
Emile had a tenor voice as sweet as rock
candy and as clear as a crystal. They
left for Paris at once, and after Emile had
had a few weeks’ musical tuition (his ear
is remarkable, not only for size, but ac
curacy ), he rushed him to the office of the
Figaro to be passed upon by its musical
critic. After Emile had lieen allowed to
lap up the better half of a bottle of
Mumm’s extra dry, they led him to the
piano. To quote the words of Figaro:
“What so strange as to hear the tender
tones of Spirto Gentil issuing from that
monstrous mouth.” Emile sang “All
quel plairsir d’etre soldat,” from “La
Dame Blanche,” “Salve dinora,” from
“Faust,” and the whip song from the
“Postilion de Longemeau,” and carried
away his hearers completely.
Let Nieolini look to liis laurels.
The United States was represented by
two young attaches of a Paris-Americaii
newspaper. One of them suggested that
the tenor be engaged to sing lullabies to
Barnum’s white elephant.
“If he appears on the stage at all it will
he as a calf s-hcad supe,” replied the oth
er, unfeelingly.
“Vcau-rieu!” retorted Figaro’s editor,
with a warning glance.
When the Americans’ unauthorized
“Jews-de-spee” were reported to their
managing editor he discharged them 011
the spot.
Twenty. Eight Millions to be Removed.
Philadelphia Record.
Twenty-eight million dollars’ worth of
gold and silver and securities will be
placed in the new post office building in a
short time. This immense sum repre
sents what United States Assistant Treas
urer Eyster has on hand. When he re
moves "from the custom house to his new
quarters on the second floor of the build
ing at Ninth and Chestnut streets he will
bring along with him as his bulkiest pack
age 355 tons of standard silver dollars
and fractional silver coin. There will be
six tons of gold coin. The mere cartage of
this pile of valuable material from Fifth
and Chestnut to Ninth street willcost the
government a good round sum. It will
require more wagons than are used in
cleaning the streets of the city in a week.
There will not be much ot a parade about
the aflair either; but the work will be
intrusted to the Adams Express Com
pany, and the men who will ride on the
vehicles containing the silver will each
one be an arsenal on stilts. In addition
to the $12,000,000 worth of silver there
will also be nearly $4,000,000 in gold coin.
This is not so bulky, but will need the
most careful watching, lest some of the
bags might lose themselves in transit.
At the present time the vaults at the
custom house are filled nearly to over
flowing, and it will be necessary to en
gage storage room outside for the stand
ard dollars very soon.
A Good Word for Col. Gentry and th*
‘•Morning News.”
Waldo Ad vertiser.
Col. R. L. Gentry, of the Savannah
Morning News, made us a pleasant call
yesterday. A more whole-souled, genial
man cannot he found, and his innate kind
ness and affable deportment to all has
made his name a household world in
Georgia, and rendered him universally
beloved by all who know him. He repre
sents the best newspaper published in the
South, aud we could desire nothing more
likely to advance the moral and intellec
tual "refinement of our people than the
weekly visits of this most excellent jour
nal into every household in the State. We
would hail its widespread circulation as
a most propitious omen.
On this page to-day will be found a
striking and instructive illustration of the
comparative worth of the various kinds
of baking powders now in the market.
KISSED BY WASHINGTON.
Recollections of Mrs. Phoebe Towle,
Now Over 102 Years Old.
Mrs. Phoebe Towle, an inmate of Miss
Hattie L. Melvin’s Little Faith Home for
the Homeless, Friendless and Incurable,
011 Arlington street, Newark, says the
New Y’ork World of the 13th inst., will
be 103 years old if she lives until the 4th
of July next. A record in her old family
Bible shows that she was horn at 4 o’clock
on the afternoon of July 4, 1781, in Ho
boken, and that her parents’ name was
Seeley. She was sitting up in lied when
a reporter saw her yesterday afternoon,
and the nurse said the old lady had been
so weak during the past five months that
she had to be lifted from the bed. Mrs.
Towle lias blue-gray eyes, thin white
hair, plump cheeks, but her arms and
body are thin and worn. She said that
only one of her five children, a daughter
56 years old.* is alive.
"My father was a carpenter,” Mrs.
Towle said to the reporter, “and he built
the first house on the Hoboken hilts. I
remember when there was not more than
a score of houses in Hoboken and Jersey
City, and over in New York it was all a
swamp back of where the City Hall now
is. Near the Tombs planks were laid for
people to cross the street and short cuts
were made through the lots up to Canal
street, where there was a big pond. We
used to pluck daisies and buttercups up
there, and the people used to meet on the
Battery on warm nights. Father often
rowed "me across the river from Hoboken
to New Y’ork. Sometimes we went in
boats worked by horses. We used to
climb down the muddy hank of the river
to go into the boats and on the New Yorit
side we clambered up at low tide. It was
a long time before people would venture
on a steamboat. I have seen them kneel
and pray that the Lord might let them re
turn safe from a New Y’ork trip.
“Y'es, I saw Gen. Washington once,*’
the old lady said in reply to a question,
“but it was so long airo—so long ago!
Father took me to the Battery, in New
Y’ork, where a great crowd was gath
ered, and he carried me in his arms, for I
was a tiny bit of a girl then. When the
people all"began to cheer and swiug their
hats and wave their pocket-handkerchiefs
father raised me above his head so 1 could
see Washington and his officers. I saw in
a big yellow and black coach a tall man
with a head as white as a sheet. He was
bowing and smiling to tlie people, and I
remember that he had a black coat, black
breeches and black silk stockings. Father
carried me close to the tavern where Gen.
Washington was -to stop, and when the
General stepped from the carriage father
held me up for Washington to
kiss. Another nice man, who, if
1 remember right, was Gen. La
fayette, patted me on the head. Gen.
Washington came out on the piazza of
the tavern, so that all the people could
get a good look at him. My father,who had
seen him in the war, was so wild with de
light that he cheered until he was hoarse.
That night the people lighted bonfires over
on the Jersey City and Hoboken hills anti
at Paulus Hook. It was so long ago that
I can’t remember everything, but I know
that the sky was red from the bonfires on
Brooklyn hill and Staten Island and away
back on the Orange Mountain.
“I had good health until three years ago.
At one time I was in comfortable circum
stances, but 1 lost everything and kind
ladies got me in here.”
Ai Old Sea Dog's Sweetheart.
Boston Courier.
It was an old sea Captain in a certain
Maine village, who had long been enam
ored of a pretty maiden young enough to
be his daughter. The latter was, how
ever, engaged to a gallant young fisher
man of the place. One day the old sea
Captain was calling upon the maiden’s
mother, who is a respectable
hut by no means comely
widow, and somewhat, without quite
understanding how it came about, the
honest Captain became aware that lie had
offered himself in marriage to the widow,
and that she had promised to “consider.”
Getting out of the house more dead than
alive, lie was stumping along consoling
himself with the idea that at least if he
married the mother he should live in the
same house with the daughter, when
he was joined by a brother ma
riner. “There goes Maria Dunlap,”
remarked the friend. Maria Dunlap
was the name of the unattainable
young woman. “Did ye know her beau
had married a girl over to the Centre un
beknowst to Maria?” “Now, by the holy
spoon,” exclaimed our Captain, “if that
hain’t just my luck!” Suddenly he dart
ed awny from his astonished gossip and
gained "the side of Maria. “Maria,” he
exclaimed eagerly, “I always liked ye
best, hut I’ve somehow got afoul of your
ma and offered to marry her, and she’s
considerin.’ I haint much hope, but oh,
Maria, if she does say no will you have
me, Maria ? Ohy Maria, do say you will!”
• High Regard for Number One.
Boston Journal.
“Father,” said a youth ot tender years
and sympathetic nature, as he paused for
a moment tierore dipping into the bread
pudding which formed the dessert of his
dinner yesterday, “Father, 1 wish the
cook wouldn’t use the bread to make it up
into puddings; why doesn't she crumble
it ut) and throw it out to the poor birds?”
“But,” responded his more practical
sire, “that would prevent you from hav
ing any more bread pudding, which you
like so much.”
“But the poor birds,” said the tender
hearted boy; “I am afraid they will
starve.”
“Y’es,” returned the parent, “but if you
have no pudding you may starve yourself.
If you should throw away your food to the
birds and then find that you were hungry
yourself, what would you do?”
The hoy was silent for a moment, then
his face brightened, a touch of the father’s
practicality illumined his eye; “why,
then,” he said softly, “couldn’t we go out
and kill the birds!”

reports of Government chemists
As to Purity and Wliolesomciiess of the Roya! Baking Powder,
“I have tested a package of Koval llaking Powder, which 1 purchased in the open market,
and find it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder- of a
high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious sub
stances. E. G. Love, Ph.D.”
“It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
“M. A. Mott, Ph.D.”
“I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the market.
I find it entirely free from alum, terra’alba, or any other injurious substance.
“Henry Morton, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology.”
“I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of wlflch it is com
posed are pure and wholesome. “S. Dana Hayes, State Assayer, Mass.”
“June 23, 1882.—We have made a careful analytical test of Royal Baking Powder, pur
chased by ourselves in the open market here, and in the original package. We find it to boa
cream of tartar powder of the highest degree of strength, containing nothing but pure, whole
some aud useful iugredieuts.
“ALBERT
The Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna
World's Exposition, 1873; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1878; at the American Institute,
and at State Fairs throughout the couutry.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic and universal in
dorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the
world.
Note.—Tlie above Diagram illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders,
as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Scliedler. A one pound can of
each powder was taken, the" total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result
being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what
every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that,
while it costs a few cents per pound more than the ordinary kinds, it is far more economical,
and besides, affords the advantage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Pow
der w ill convince any fair-minded person of these facts.
♦While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength
than other powders rauked below them, it is not to be taken as indicating that they have any
value. All alum powders, no matter bow high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous.
