With the delightful breeze fanning one’s

where even the disorderly hang their

The Outlook at Ctalcajro.
Very nearly all the delegates to the con
vention will he ia Chicago to-day. There
will be a good deal of work done for the 1
different candidates before the meeting of j
the convention on Tuesday. There is cer
tain! y plenty -of room Tor work, because
no one of the candidates has any consid
erable number of the delegates committed j
to him. In Hie Republican Convention •
the contest was between Blaine ,
and Arthur. It does not appear yet
who will have the greatest strength
when the balloting begrea in the Demo
cratic Convention, Strange as it may
appear Tilcten, notwithstanding his very
plaia letter declining to be a candidate, is
still considered a part of the situation.
There are seme who seem determined to
give him a chance to decline again, and
others whe appear to be devoting their
time to finding out his preference. It is
said that he wants Cleveland nominated,
and it is also said that he wants Randall.
There ought to be somebody who knows
his preference, though it is not clear why
: a great convention, containing many of
the ablest men of the party, should bother
J itself about Tilden's preference. If the
j New York delegation reaches an agree
| ment and supports Cleveland he will at
once lead all other candidates. But will
; that delegation agree to support him ? It
i doesn’t look so now. The Flower men
have opened headquarters, and are
i doing what they can for their can
: didate. There is nothing to indicate now
that those in the New York delegation op
posed to Cleveland will ever agree to sup
port him. They belong to that element of
the New York Democracy that dosn’t
like Cleveland, and rather than accept
him, they will support a candidate from
some other State. What are Cleveland’s
chances with a divided delegation I That
is a question that cannot be easily an
swered. It would 6eem to be advisable
to firop him out of the contest. If he can
not get the delegatioa from his own State,
the chances are that he could not get the
full vote of the Democracy of
his State. Nobody seems to know
how many votes Bayard will enter
the convention with. There have been no
statements of his strength. Whether he
will be strong or weak on the first ballot,
and whether his strength will increase
as the balloting proved* are questions
that cannot be answered. The answer to
them depends largely upon the discus
sions that w ill take place amoug the dele
gates between now and Tuesday. Ran
dall looms up in the background. He
will oe pressed upon the convention by
strong men and strong arguments. It is
difficult to see, however, how the conven
tion can nominate him and be consistent.
He would not be acceptable to the reve
nue reformers, who compose at least four
fifths of the party. He doubtless
would be a pretty strong candidate in the
doubtful States, but not 60 strong
as Bayard. McDonald's friends think
that he will enter the convention with at
least 100 votes. That is a high estimate.
If the nomination goes West, however, he
stands a good chance of getting it. The
truth is the situation is very complicated,
and there Is in it a great deal of uncer
tainty. There is a desire to nominate the
strongest man. Who is the strongest man
is the question of the hour.
llliinelantler's Plea.
The young New York aristocrat, Rhine
lander, who shot lawyer John Drake a
week or so ago, sets up the plea of self-de
fense. Drake is almost out of danger, and
a day or two ago Rhinelander, on a writ
ot habeas corpus, applied to be admitted
to bail. When the shooting occurred it
was thought that Rhinelander’s attorneys
would set up the plea of insanity, but it
seems that the would-be assassin declined
to be considered insane. The bold
groand was tberetore taken that he bad a
right to shoot Drake because Drake un
dertook to bring about a separation be
tween him and his wife. Ex-Judge Cur
tis, in his remarks to the court, said:
“Mr. Rhinelander became attached,
about eight years ago, to a very attract
ive Irish lady, and he sacrificed a fortune
of $1,000,000 for the sake of marrying her.
Mr. Rhinelander desires me to say that
he has never regretted the connection, as
his wife was it modest and virtuous
maiden, as she is and has been a true and
loyal wife and Iriend. Eflorts have been
constantly made to separate my client
and his wife. The union has been blessed
by two children, now a 7-year-old girl,
and a boy 4 years of age. When any
man undertakes to separate tnan and
wife, he equally with the adulterer takes
his life in his hands, and he must abide
by the consequences.”
This is certainly giving a much wider
meaning to the doctrine of self-defense
than was ever intended. In this case it is
not pretended that Lawyer Drake sought
to bring about a separation between
Rhinelander and his wife for any im
proper purpose of his own, or that he
made any improper advances to Mrs.
Rhinelander. He is in all respects, as
far as stated, a very respectable gentle
man. who had the entire confidence of
young Rhinelander’s father. The girl
young Rhinelander married was a cham
bermaid at his father’s house. His family
were so angered with his conduct
that they cast him off. It seems,
however, that they instructed
Lawyer Drake to bring about a legal
separation if he could, but there is no evi
dence that he was instructed to, or that
he did, use improper or indecent methods
to accomplish that object. The use of the
pistol to avenge fancied wrongs, or
wrongs for which there is ample legal
remedy is becoming altogether too com
mon. It is probable that Rhinelander
will not be punished, not because of his
plea of self-defense but because Lawyer
Drake will not prosecute him. Drake is
the only one who can testify to the shoot
ing. Rhinelander, however, ought to be
punished and punished severely.
A no less noted person than ex-Mayor
Powderly, of Scranton, describes the
type of the women who work at the coke
ovens in Pennsylvania as follows: “The
woman stood in the doorway and was
dressed in a rough, loose-fitting outer gar
ment and an apron. Her person from the
waist up was exposed. "When she stooped
over to handle the coke she caught her
hair between her teeth in order to keep it
out of the way. Her feet were incased in
a pair of heavy shoes, and her legs were
exposed from the knees down. Her babe,
which she brought to the works with her,
lay in front of the car, with scarcely any
covering except the shadow of a wheel
barrow, which was turned up in order to
protect the child from the rays of the
sun.” If Senator Brown had casually
alluded to these women in a speech, all
Pennsylvania would have been ready to
crucify him. Some of the charitable peo
ple of that State might find a large field
for a society for the amelioration ot the
condition of poor women.
Congressman Hancock, of Texas, may
be correct in his estimate that Blaine has
a fighting chance in four Southern States.
He certainly has no chance in a square
fight, so the only fighting chance he has
is the kind of fighting chance Hayes had.
The Democrats of every Southern and
every doubtful Northern State cannot be
too closely on their guard. An attempt
to reproduce the frauds of 1876 is by no
means improbable, and the fraud issue
may become a living one alter the elec
tion again. In an event of that kind the
Democrats need a man of undoubted
physical and moral courage and ability at
the helm. Tilden is not the man for the
place,
It is difficult for one to believe that John
Sullivan will keep his resolution not to
engage in another slugging match with
John Bariev core.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JULY 6, 1884.
ConfWeace Returning.
The business outlook grows more en
couraging slowly but surely. The people
are gradually regaining confidence in the
stability of legitimate business and finan
cial enterprises- The crops promise to be
abundant, and as they are the foundation
of prosperity, it will not be long belore busi- j
ness will be flowing in its usual channels
with its accustomed regularity. In the
South the situation has not been bad at
anytime. There have been comparatively
few failures, aad. with the exception of a
very few days, there has not been much
uneasiness among business men. The
banks have been rather’eonservative, be
cause they were uncertain about the fu
i ture. Their refusal to loan freely has in
terfered somewhat with the planting in
! terests. They are beginning to
find it easier, however, to get
! accommodations, and at the end of the
year, perhaps, will be none the worse off
I for having been forced to practice econo
my. The financial troubles disturbed the
South less than any other section of the
country, for the reason, perhaps, that there
is not so much illegitimate business done
I in the South as there is in the North.
! Southern people, not having the money to
! speculate, do not enter into speculative
enterprises to a very marked extent.
The prices of dividend paying stocks
appear to have touched bottom. There
seems to have been no bottom for some
worthless stocks, and they have disap

however, may have to give up the luxu
j ries to which they have been accustomed,
j Gould and Vanderbilt have been saying
j for some time that bottom prices have
I been reached, but, as they are interested

What they say now, however, about
stocks is perhaps near the truth.
A Blaine Electioneering Dodge.
Blaine’s organs assert that he will get a
! large part of the Irish vote, because he is
; in favor of a vigorous foreign policy.
They do not pretend to say what he will
do that will be agreeable to the Irish, but
I they bint that he will adept a policy, if
elected, that will get this country into
j trouble with England, and in that way
help Ireland to free herself from Eng
land’s rule. This sort of clap-trap may
! answer for campaign literature, but it
j will have no effect with thinking Irish
! men. Blaine is willing to
adopt any means that promise to
help him to the Presidency, but he cannot
: Ire relied on to fulfill promises that he
• makes, or permits to be made by bis sup
| porters, if they do not happen to be in ac
-1 cordance with his plans. When he was
I Secretary of State he made a great deal of
noise, and endeavored to create the im
-1 pression that as long as he directed that
department foreign nations would have to
: show the most profound respect for
American interests in every part of the
world. Asa matter of fact, he only suc
ceeded in bringing himself into unenvi
able notoriety in connection with South
American affairs. As President, he
would be able to do very little
| towards assisting the Irish that was not
| sanctioned by Congress. It is certain
: that he would not attempt to do anything
' that did not tend to magnify his import
-1 ance and add to his reputation. There is
nothing in his public record that shows
that he sympathizes with the Irish in
their struggle with England. Doubtless
; the refusal of the Democratic House to i
; make an immense appropriation for coast
and harbor defenses, and the construction ;
; of additional ironclads has had something
to do with this talk about the vigorous ,
. foreign policy which Blaine will inaugu
rate if elected. How little foundation
, there is for this sort of talk, however, will
j be 6hown before the campaign is over.
Irishmen will not fail to understand how
little they have to expect from Blaine.
A Iwesson to Jurors.
In the Circuit Court in Washington
city, a few days ago, Mr. August Beck
man was taught a lesson which will be
remembered by him in the future, and
which should be laid to heart by jurors
everywhere. In a will case Beckman was
one of the jurors who signed a verdict in
favor of the validity of the will. When
the verdict was handed in by the foreman
Beckman exclaimed, “I withdraw my
name.” The Judge was astonished, and
asked sharply, “What do you mean by
that?” The juror then explained that he
did not want to stay in the jury room all
night, and agreed to the verdict, which he
did not approve, merely to get away.
This, of course, nullified the verdict,
which was set aside, and the Judge was
indignant that the time consumed in the
trial —over a week—at a cost of several
hundred dollars should have been thrown
away by the misconduct of the juror. He
said: “No juror is obliged to agree. If one
signs a verdict to which he does not agree
he violates his oath and duty as a juror.”
—The reproval was emphasized by a fine
of SSO.
It is by no means uncommon for j urors to
fail to appreciate what the oath to give a
true verdict means. It means that each
juror must render a verdict according to
the opinion he entertains of the eyidence
guided by his own conscience. About
the first thing a jury does when it retires
to its room is to agree to decide the case
by a majority or a two-thirds vote. Cases
like the one of Beckman have their coun
terparts, perhaps, in nearly every court,
though few of the guilty jurors have their
consciences to reprove them so as to com
pel them to ow n their fault. A juror who
has manhood and regard for his oath will
not allow his conscience to be placed in
the keeping of any other man or set of
men.
Senator Warner Miller, of New York,
has a very good reason for being a pro
tectionist of the most ultra sort. He has
a monopoly of the manufacture of wood
pulp in this country. The manufacture
of wood pulp has just been begun in
Europe, and seventy-five tons of it were
shipped to this country from Sweden. It
was invoiced at sls a ton, which is sl2
less than the price of the domestic article.
The Senator at once complained that the
article was being fraudulently imported.
The trouble is that his monopoly, out of
which he has made millions of dollars, is
in danger.
The Nashville American is pleased
with the reflection that the cholera has
never been prevalent in the United States
in a Presidential year. However, the
Republicans have never heretofore been
quite so openly unwholesome in their
choice of candidates. They have gener
ally claimed to have moderately honest
men whether their claims were true or
not.
Wayne McVeagh has not had much to
say fibout the “Ideal President” since the
Republican nomination; in fact, he has
not rushed forward with a certificate that
Blaine is his ideal, and a pledge to see
that he is placed in the Presidential chair
if a half dozen Southern returning boards
have to be manipulated for the purpose.
Tennessee is getting to have some

for an hour or two.
The Memphis Avalanche of the glorious

CURRENT COMMENT.
A Good Way to Judge. •
St. Louie Republican il>em.).
The friend* of each Eastern aspirant for the
Presidential nomination are industrious in
trying to show the unavailability of rival can
didates. The Democrat who seeks the honors
of hi* party by deprecting other Democrats,
is usually a good man to pass by when a can
didate is to he chosen. One who can be nomi
nated only by such means is himself assenti
aUy unavailable.
The Naval Campaign' Business.
Philadelphia Timet 1,/nd.).
Some of the politicians in Congress talk as
though Mr. Blaine were going to start a for
eign war before next summer, and we must
therefore finish some iron-clads immediately,
at ary and every cost. It may be hoped that
Mr. Blaine will do nothing of the sort, or even
have the opportunity to do it. but in any case
it is clear that this big appropriation has
more reference to Mr. Blaine’s campaign be
fore the election than to any possible use ex
pected of the iron-'iads after their comple
tion.
Bayard vs. Blaine.
Boeton Poet < Dem.).
Bayard has always been in favor of treating
all citizens. Catholic, or Protestant, natural
ized or native, with impartial justice. So has
Cleveland. Blaine, on the other band, has
played good Lord and good devil, according
to bis necessities. He can coquette with
Catholics when he wants their votes, or de
nounce them when he wants the votes of anti-
Catholics. lie can give taffy to the foreign
born voter when he wants him, and enter the
list of Know-nothing proscription against him
when he does not want him. Avery versa
tile man is James G. Blaine.
Butler and Blaine.
Fete York Evening Poet (Rep.).
The Democratic nomination is yet to be
made, and when it comes it may force a
choice of evils as the main issue, but it cau
hardly do that unless the convention commits
the incredible blunder of nominating Butler.
Under no circumstances can that issue have a
place in an aggressive campaign, and the at
tempt to bring it forward now raises the sus
picion of something like a panic in the Blaine
camp. When a candidate's oracles are forced
into saving, “We know our man is not all that
he should be, but the other fellow has au aw
fully bad lot of friends,” it is perfectly obvious
that something is the matter.

The food reform movement is not one of re

The frame structure of the Schuylkill Val

iron bridge put in its place. All the work
was performed in 75 minutes. The iron !
bridge was built upon a temporary trestling
north of the frame structure, and as soon as
the old bridge was removed the new slid
gracefully down greased tracks to the posi

gineering was witnessed by a large gathering ,
of persons. The structure is 30 feet 'long and 1
weighs about 25 tons.
One of the stories told about Gen. Gordon j
is that his military operations are directed by
a method similar to what in olden times was
known as the sortes Virgilatuv, with the Bible
substituted for the JEneid. If the General, in
his morning Biblc-reaUing, chances on a war-.
like passage, such as the exploits of Joshua or
David, there is warm work round about
Khartoum before nightfall. If, on the cJti
trary, the morniDg lesson suggest peaceful
thoughts, then for the rest of the day the
garrison, like Dan, abides in its breaches.
Tricycling is beginning to be the fashion

Mrs. Lockwood, who has a lawyer’s license

Within the past two months there has been

The Japanese do not use a pillow in our
sense of the word. They have a small piece of
wood something like a dog in shape, on which
they lay their heads, the girls and women
serene in the consciousness that their hair
will not be disarranged. The wonderful
structure of a Japanese hair dress is usually
made up once in four days. It is evident that
if it were touzled on a down pillow, it would
have to be dealt with every day. Children in
some cases have the head closely shaved, but
more often the hair is fantastically cultivated.
A favorite style is to shave the head all
around the crown, leaving that covered with
hair shaped like a skull-cap. Sometimes all
is shaved save a few locks over the forehead.
Another rather fetching design is to leave a
couple of well-defined locks over either ear,
just enough to hold the child up by if that
were deemed a desirable disciplinary process.
It is the declaration of a Chicago detective,
locally famous, that no more than one murder
in ten ever comes out. “Think over the re
cent known cases,” he says. “Can you recall
one in which the life wasn’t taken with shot
or blade?” In other words, the means of kill
ing were such that there could not possibly be
any concealment of the crime itself, though
the criminal might escape. He held that to
prove bevond doubt that the commonest form
of premeditated murder—by poisoning—is
practised to a dreadful extent without detec
tion. About the only murders that do come
out, be thinks, are those sudden, unplannrd
ones that arise from passion. “It may not be
a pleasant thing to think of,” he remarks,
“but it can’t be denied, that any cool, intelli
gent person can murder a member of his
family by using a poison that doesn’t produce
violent symptoms, and run very slight risk of
being caught at it. It is my firm conviction
that onlv a small percentage of the murders
are distinguished from ordinary deaths.”
La Lanierns has a remarkable story about the
“sunsbeam” diamond, suggested by the exhi
bition of precious stones at Paris. In 1866 a
diamond valued at over $600,000 was found in
a Chilian mine .near Caracotes. Its mner,
Mr. Joam Pareso, hawked it about Hk-ope,
and at length found a purchaser in Queen
Victoria. It was put into the hands of a Bond
street, London, jeweler to be set, and for
eight days was exhibited in his window. One
fine morning the jeweler found the case in
which it was specially set apart broken and
the jewel gone. No trace of the thief could be
found, and the jeweler partially indemnified
the Queen for her loss. On May 7 there died
in a miserable lodging in Strasbourg a man of
70 named Julian Partridge. His landlord was
amazed to find in Partridge’s pocket a huge
diamond, wrapped up in a letter, telling that
he, finding himself dying, wished to explain
that the diamond la his pocket was the “Suns
beam,” which he had stolen, bnt, knowing
that Mr. Pareso had shown it all over Europe,
he had not, after all, dared to attempt to sell
it. The diamond was returned to the Queen,
who, of course, repaid the jeweler.
A Col. Hennebkrt, a French professor, has
compiled some appalling statistics in regard
to the immense Continental armies that conld
be put into the field in case of a European
war. Not mere armies, but armed nations, he
says, will hereafter meet on the battlefield,
and the battles of the future will be gigantic
massacres. By the law of May 2, 1574, the
German Government is authorized to call out,
in case of war. 6,000,000 men. By the ukase
of Jan. 1, of the same year, Russia is per
mitted to arm nearly 13,000,000. Of course,
these numbers are only on paper; but deduct
ing everything, taking the real number avail
able in the two empires, and it is positive that
Germanv can put into the field 3,860,000 and
Russia '2,500,000 fighting men, thoroughly
drilled and disciplined, while, as Austria, by
her law of Dec. 5, 1868, is permitted to put on
a war footing 1,265,000 soldiers, an Austro-
German-Russian alliance represents, in round
numbers, 7,500,000 combatants. Join to these,
as may be considered certain, Italy's contin
gent, assured by her laws of 1875,18i6 and 1882
at 2,570,000 men, and the quadruple league can
dispose of a mass of troops of all arms ex
ceeding 10,000,000, with 1,600 batteries of field
guns.
That glass could be made to take the
place of iron and other materials for certain
mechanical purposes has lately been exem
plified in the manufacture of glass pulleys for
cable railways. The advantage of glass pul
leys are obvious. In cable railwavs, such as
art in use over the Brooklyn ‘suspension
bridge, and in the streets of some of the cities,
the operation of the cables over metal pullers
has resulted in serious damage to them from
the friction with the pulleys. When the pul
leys are of metal the friction is a maximum
one, but no other substance hitherto could be
found sufficiently strong and tenacious to
take its place. Glass pulleys will reduce the
friction to a minimum, and thev will last for
an indefinite time. Mr. J. J. Hardin, of Chi
cago, has a number of different sized pulleys,
made for experiment. They are about 18
inches in diameter and about 2 1 . or 3 in
width, with a groove in the centre of the rim
to receive the cable. However, only the rim
or tire is of glass, the interior part being com
posed of iron, made in the form of a spider,
which fully supports the glass exterior. In
this spider is a hole for the reception of the
axle, upon which they run. The thickness of
the glass from the surface of the rim to the
iron part of the spider is only about % of an
inch, but the glass is made extra tough and
strong, and the pulleys have been proved
capable of successfully resisting any pressure
brought to bear upon them.

How Mr*. O’Hairfs Turned.
Detroit Free Press.
The other night a laboring man named
O’Harris was drinking beer and playing
cards in a Grand River avenue saloon,
when somebody asked him what sort of a
wife he had.
“The humblest, docilest little woman in
all this world,” he replied.
“Doesn't she ever say anything about
your spending your evenings away from
home ?’’
“Never a word.”
“And has she no objections to your
spending half your wages in beer and
cards ?”
“If she has she doesn’t state ’em.”
“But won’t she turn on you some day?
You know that even a worm will turn ?”
“Faith and she will that. I’ve been
going on in this way for the la6t fourteen
rears, and for the last two I’ve been look
ing for a climax. A wife suffers about so
long and then she turns on you.”
Not more than five minutes had passed,
and the men were busy with their cards,
when a woman opened the door and
slipped in. She stood for a moment to get
the range, and then made a bee-line for
the laborer. Off went his hat, the hair
flew in showers, and over went the table
with its glasses and cards. Five or six
badly frightened men rushed out doors in
a body, the last one helped along-by a
push from a chair, and as the laborer took
the middle of the street and gathered
himself together for some tall running he
cried out with a lump in his throat:
“It’s mv wife, and she’s turned at last.

ELI PERKINS IN ENGLAND.
Quaint Speeches by a Catholic Worship-
a Protestant Church.
Special Correspondence 0/ the Mominy Fetes.
Warwick Castle, Eng., June 21.
One of the grandest churches in England
is St. Mary’s, at Warwick. It ranks with
Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s. Like
all the great churches, Oxford colleges,
and castles in England, it used to belong
to the Catholics. The first Earls of War
wick were strong Catholics. In fact,
every institution in England was Catholic
upto the time Henry Vlll.quarreled with
Pope Leo X., in the fifteenth century. Pre
vious to Henry’s quarrel with the Pope,
because he would not annul his marriage
with Catharine of Arragon, and permit
him to marry Annie Boleyn, this wicked
King was called the Prince of the
Church. Pope Leo sent him a sword from
Rome in 1514, labelled “To the
Defender of the Faith,” and the sword is
on exhibition at Oxford. But all at once
King Henry got mad (all on account of
a woman), and whirled every Catholic
Chureh in England round to Protestan
tism. It is safe to say that, if Henry
VIII. hadn’t fallen in love with Annie
Boleyn, England would have been as
Catholic as Spain to-day, and Warwick
Cathedral and Westminster Abbey would
have been presided over by Catholic Car
dinals. Even now all the old Catholic
altars, pictures, crosses, and inscriptions
are left in tne churches.
AVhen the curate was showing us the
splendours of Beauchamp Chapel, and
the beautiful arched stone ceiling or St.
Mary’s, I asked him if Catholics ever
came into the church.
“Yes,” he said, “they sometimes come
in. The other day au Irishman came in
and crossed himself before the altar, and
knelt and said his Catholic prayer.”
“What did you say to him,” I asked.
“Why, I went up to him and told him
this wasn’t a Catholic Church.”
“And he * What did he say ?”
“He said ‘Begorry, it was built by the
Catholics, sure: it’s the old Catholic altar,
and we’d all be worshiping here now if
you bloody Englishmen hadn’t stolen it!
But the time will come when, by the Holy
Virgin, we’ll have it back again—do you
mind that, now ?”
I AVhen I look at all these Catholic relics
1 and see the thousands of carved ca
thedrals, built and owned and worshiped
in by these Catholics, I can’t help but feel,
Protestant though I am. that this poor
Irishman spoke some truth.
Since the time Henry VIII. deposed
Cardinal AVolsev, 183 religious sect 9 have
been established in England. The Ro
manists still swear by the Pope, the Puri
; tans by John Knox’, the Protestants by
| Luther and Calvin, the Methodists by John
Wesley, the Salvationists by Gen. "Booth,
and the Baptists by Spurgeon. Out of a
population of 81,000,000 souls in England
and her colonies, 18,000.000 belong to the
Church of England, 14,500,000 are Method
ist, 13,500,000 are Catholics, 10,000,000 are
Presbyterians, 5,000,000 are Baptists, 6,-
000,000 Congregationalists, 1,000,000 Uni
tarians, and 10,000,000 are non-professors.
New sects are springing up every day. A
Theistic church has just been founded in
London, and $30,000 has been subscribed
for anew church.
The absorbing passion of Protestanism
in England is hatred of Popery and the
Catholic Church. Twenty years ago a
Catholic priest would have been mobbed
in London. Catholic priests and nuns are
not to be seen in England now. I have
not seen either yet on English soil —Eng- ■
land will never forget the Inquisition.
TRUTH FROM AN ENGLISH LABORER.
The ordinary English laborer is happy, !
ignorant and contented. He is as gener
ous and wholesouled as he is stupid. He j
has no him in lite but present existence.
He knows nothing of theology. He is
always healthy, because he never has
money enough" to overfeed. AVhile his
master is eating plover, drihkingold port,
and suffering with the gout, the broad
shouldered, red-faced laborer eats his
blaekbreadand cheese, the perfect picture j
of health. He knows nothing ot the
world. He has never been ten miles from i
where he was born. America to him is
as totally unknown as the lost Atlantas I
are to us.
The other day, while riding beyond
Hatberly, in North Devon county, AVest- j
ern England, I saw one of these West of
England farm laborers in the field plow- j
ing. I sent my wife on to town, and t
crawled through the hedge and spent
and hour with him. I wanted informa
tion, not from books, but from its very
source, the man himself. He did not show j
much curiosity when he saw me comiDg j
over the plowed ground.
“Good morning!” I said.
“Mornin’t’ yeu zir,” pulling his horses
to a stop.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Lor’, zur! 1 be plowin’.”
“What are you going to raise here?”
“Kaant zactly za, Maaster ’ant tole 1

“I expect you are summer fallowing the .
ground for fall wheat,” I said. “I am a
farmer myself.”
“Lor,’ be ye that there! AVer’d y* come

“I come from New York,” I said.
“Lor’, wer’d be that there ?”
“AVhv over in America.”

“What part of America?” I asked.
“Ahd’ know. I year tell as he ware in
the Staates. He’d a leave ye’er ite year
acoome next Janewary.”
“I don’t think I’ve seen John Dobs,” I
said, and, continuing, I asked him if he i
had been in London.
“Loondon, Lor' no. I beano trav'ler. I

FISHING IN ENGLAND.
I found that over west of Warwick
Castle one of the farmers who rented
several hundred acres along the Avon
river kept a little hotel. He permitted
his guests to fish in the riyer, a brook
shallow enough to be forded where it runs
swiftly. I noticed that the fishermen
always went out with a tremendous
assortment of patent hooks and fancy
flies. One man had as many as fifty
specimens of hooks and flies. Like all the
rest he came back without any fish. I
never took much stock in fancy flies.l have
always had better luck with plain grass
hoppers or angleworms. So, getting per
mission from the landlord, I took a pole
and went down to the river. Baiting my
hook with a good old fat American angle
worm I threw it in. In a moment I had a
bite,and out came a beautiful grayling. In
went another angleworm, and out came
another fish. I was having fine sport
when down came the landlord all out of
breath.
“W—w—what have you got on your
hook?” he gasped.
\ “Angleworms, you tool, plain angle-
worms,” I said, hauling out anotner gray
ling.
‘•Don’t you know that’s agin the law ?”
“AVhat?” I asked. AVhat’s agin the
law?”
“Why. fishing with angleworms. The
patent fly is the only thing allowed in
England.”
The man was right. No one is allowed
to fish in English rivers with angleworms
or bugs. Only the patent fly is allowed,
and as the fish are all used" to the arti
ficial fly only they don’t bite, and it is
seldom that any "are caught. If angle
worms were permitted, every boy would
be out fishing, and the streams would be
fished dry. As it is, the patent artificial
fly is so expensive that only the rich are
able to fish.
If the landlord hadn't kept my fishing a
secret these three angleworms would
have cost me a fine of £2O, or about
$33 33 a worm. Eli Perkins.
EDITORS JONES AND DANA.
They Say a Few Words About Each
Other.
Mr. George Jones, of the Times, says a
New York special of the 3d, will sail for
Europe to-morrow, to be absent two
months. He says: “During my absence
the Times will certainly be conducted as
an anti-Blaine paper. Should Mr. Cleve
land be nominated by the Democratic
party—and I see no reason why he should
not secure the nomination—the Times w ill
without doubt support his candidacy. 1
regard Mr. Cleveland as a very good "can
didate, and, it nominated, it is my firm
belief that he will be elected. I am on
food terms personally with Mr. Samuel J.
ilden, and know that he would not ac
cept tne nomination even if it were ten
dered to him unanimously. I am ready
to admit that his mental powers are as
vigorous to-day as they were when he
took such an active part in overturning
the Tweed ring; but physically he is not j
capable of entering on "such a" campaign
as will take place this fall. It is not so
much his age as his disease that is against i
him. AVhen Mr. Tilden wrote his letter
of declination he meant every word that |
appeared in that document. Of course ;
Mr. Charles A. Dana would like the nomi- j
nation to the Presidency, and therefore j
opposes that of Mr. Cleveland, whom, 1
have no doubt, be believes to be the
strongest candidate that could be put
forward by the Democratic partv.”
Replying to Mr. Jones, Mr. Dana said
this afternoon: “So Air. Jones says that
Mr. Dana wants to be President, does he? !
Mr. Jones has no authority for his re- j
mark. Air. Dana is not in the least dis
satisfied with his present mode of life.
He is entirely comfortable in his present
sociaLbusincss and professional relations.
He enjoys a position of nis own choice and :
of the public's choice, and has constantly
declined all suggestions looking toward
making the effort to be nominated for the j
Presidency. AVhile it would be uncandid
for any man to say that he would not feel
proud to be President, Air. Dana has dis
couraged all talk connecting his name !
with that or any other office. He is con
tent with his present position.”
A NORTH CAROLINA "CRACKER.”
A Type of the Original Characters of
the Old North State.
We then met a unique specimen of
another class of cultivators of the soil,
says a correspondent of the Boston Post.
He was clad in a well-worn suit, which
would have cost originally $2 75; his hat
was a slouch, originally black, but time
worn to a dirty brown, the wide brim
gracefully drooping around his lank vis
age, his pants six inches too short;
he was apparently 25 years old,
and his steed, which he was bestride,
twice that age, a long skeleton, with
drooping head and tail, his back a straight
line. As we approached he reined in his
steed, threw up the front slouch of his
tile in a prompt manner, and remarked,
“Good evening, gentlemen; I hope
you’re well; it’s pow’ful hot;
been over to Marion to list my
taxes, but yon’s my cabin; light and rest
you’selves.” His cabin was ten feet
square, covered with loose thatches, or
clapboards, weighted down with a pole or
two; his field, an acre patch of weeds,
with a few spears of corn and potatoes,
and four or five tobacco plants. The
whole estate, including farm, residence,
steed, and rider would not bring at auc
tion $10; but he had not the remotest
idea but that he was aufait, and he had all
the assurance of a lord of the soil to the
manor born. He and his class are power
ful sitters on the top rails of fences and
steps of country stores, discussing politi
cal affairs, but they won’t brace up to
ever accumulate anything.
KENTUCKY’S CHASTE OFFICIAL’
The “Double Star” of Louisville Be
hind a Cloud.
The city is convulsed with gossip to
day, says a Louisville special of the 3d
inst., over an order issued by Gen. Taylor,
Chief of Police, directing the art stores to
remove from their show-windowsthesteel
engraving of a French painting called
“The Double Star.” The picture is that
of two female figures, slightly draped,
pendant in an evening sky, one supporting
in her upraised hand the sceptre of Virtue,
crowned with a star, which finds its coun
terpart in a brilliant evening star in the
sky. The picture has been displayed in five
windows for several weeks, and is an
art treasure. Gen. Taylor regards
the engraving as immoral and
lascivious, and savs that while the
law prohibits the exhibition of lewd and
nude pictures, he cannot find excuse for
the exemption of fine art. One dealer re
moved the engraving upon notice, but
the others have so far paid no attention
to the order, and those who have not dis
played it are talking about putting it on
view merely for the purpose of defending
fine art from such an arbitrary ruling.
The artists are indignant at the order,
and the threat is made that if the picture
is banned they will make war on the
coming Exposition Art Gallery and the
Polytechnic Society Gallery, where nude
statures and paintings are exhibited.
The Mayor sustains the Chief of Police,
and an’ interesting conflict with the au
thorities is anticipated.
ADA AUBRAY’S SAD FATE.
A Society Belle of Baltimore Dies in an
Almshouse, and is Burled as a Pauper.
Baltimore, July 3.—Miss Ada Au
brav. a former well-known and beautiful
society belle, died at the city almshouse a
lew days ago, in childbed. She was a
niece of ex-Mayor Stansbury, of this city.
For several years past she was courted
by her cousin, and on her death-bed she
charged him with her ruin. A few months
ago her delicate condition became known
to her mother, and the latter drove
her daughter from home. Ada
sought refuge at a cheap
lodging house, where she remained
a few day 9 only. Her mother relented in
a measure, called to see her, and advised
her to go to some institution under an
assumed name. She went to the city
almshouse and registered as “Annie Col
lins.” The officers of the institution,
struck by her intelligence and beauty,
made inquiry and discovered her high
social standing. She was placed in a
private apartment and everything done
for her comlort. The child was sent to
St. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum alter ite
mother’s death. The mother of the poor
girl is severely condemned for her cruelty.
She says she did what she thought best to
protect the good name of the lamily. After
Ada's death her mother refused to receive
her daughter’s body, and it was buried in
a pauper’s grave.
Thought the Minister was Joking.
Syracuse Herald.
“My boy, what are you doing with that
cigar in your mouth? Throw the filthy
thing away,” said a clerical-looking man
to a bootblack who stood near the Globe
Hotel puffing a cigar. The urchin looked
up at the man with an injured air, then
shaking his head, said:
“Naw yer don’t. I’m onto that trick.
That’s what the kids tell me when I’m
flush and smokin’ a two-fer, so they can
pick it up. But when a lad ean’t take a
smoke without an old chap like you
wantin’ him to throw it away, then there’s
a case for pity.”
Reaching into his pocket, the benevo
lent boy brought forth three cents, saying,
as he held them out to the abashed gentle
man:
“Here, take them coppers and buy one
foryerself, but don't ask me again.”
Tha dozen or more men and boys who
had collected around the pair shouted de
risively as the minister turned and walked
away."
Ax 11 o’clock the other evening a man and
his wife, who were quarreling in loud tones
on Randolph street, were accosted by an
officer with the injunction to keep quiet, and
he turned to the man and added: “Seems to
me that you ought to do your fighting at
home.” “Well, it don’t to me.” was the
prompt reply: “if there's anv fighting to be
done, I want to come out here, where I’ve rot
some chance to dodge her.”— Detroit Free
Press.
