The Prohibitionists hope to put in some of their best work and poll a very large vote in Illinois. Carl Schurz will begin to speak for Cleveland in Brooklyn Tuesday night. Is there no way to stop him before it is too late? — d Candidate Logan’s fences are said to be neither horse-high, bull-strong nor pig tight. Illinois is looked upon as a doubt ful State. Anthony Comstock comes out for Cleve land, and he will arrest the Republican nominees as soon as they have their vicious records fully exposed. Gen. Butler is said to be a capital poker player, but he does not brag much on himself since he failed to bluff the Demo cratic National Convention. Columbia is an extravagant maiden. She si>ent $1,200,000 of pin money last year. That amount went principally for coupling pins for railroad cars. The New York Tribune now calls them “dynamiteursf ’ and yet that paper is first and foremost in speaking of its op ponents as foreigners and dudes. Gen. Logan is said to be one of the men who tuck their napkins under their chins while eating. This is a charge that ought to be investigated without delay. The man who is making tin battle-axes for the Blaine clubs is said to be behind in filling his orders. This may explain why the enthusiasm fails to enthuse. Hon. Sam. Randall went up to Ports-* mouth to meet Lieut. Greely. His sym pathies go out unreservedly to every one who has suffered from an Arctic freeze up. The United States Treasurer is getting in another fresh supply of bright, crisp two dollar bills. Chairman Jones can now begin to get his money changed and prepare for the election. Republican politicians are very enthu siastic over the possibilities of long dis tance telephoning. It may be that in the near future the boomeraug letter may be dene away with entirely. Some of the papers appear to be sur prised at Cleveland's acknowledgment that he had heard something his nomination before the committee notified him formally. There is nothing dudish ft bout Cleveland. The Republicans are somewhat fright ened because the National Democratic Committee is beginning to send campaign papers to the post cffice by the wagon load. They are pretty sure the Demo crats are loaded. Some parties now threaten to go up into Kentucky and rake up some of candidate Blaine's naughty love scrapes for use in the Presidential campaign. Don’t do it. The political record of the plumed knight is bad enough for all purposes. It is gratifying to know that the Presi dential campaign is now too big a thing to permit of the country being polled by means of postal cards and circulars. It is to be feared, however, that the rail road train ballot fiend cannot be entirely kept down. John L. Sullivan having declined to try strength with Lulu Hurst, it is stated that she will return to New York and test her magnetic powers against several athletes of national reputation. It is to be hoped that Miss Lulu will remember thst the eyes of Georgia are upon her. After all, Secretary Chandler has de clined the kind offer of John Roach to sell the government the yacht Yosemite to be converted into a gunboat. The commis sion appointed to examine her decided that she was not fitted for the purpose. Probably the committee failed to see the good points in the craft on account of Mr. Roach’s absence in New York. The Italian laborers on the Lehigh Val ley Railroad have been severely censured for eating terrapins, toads, sheep and chickens which died of disease. Of course the fact that the contractor who owed them lor their labor bas failed to pay is a palliating circumstance, but there are a great many people who think they ought to starve, if they can’t find any old boots or sealskin suits to eat. The civil service reform bill has greatly benefited the department clerks at Wash ington in regard to campaign assess ments. The Republican Committee now assures the victims that those who “es teem it a pleasure’’ to contribute will he allowed to do so. This is certainly more pleasant than the old “Your money or your official life” style, if it does meam practically the same thing. There is a great deal of talk about sanitary reform all oyer the civilized world just now, and considerable work is being done to improve the sanitary con dition of nearly all cities and public in stitutions. The magnitude of the work demanded, however, is almost dishearten ing. In the larger cities millions of dol lars and years of unremitting labor will be required to attain even approximately the ideal condition of affairs. Mr. Arthur and the members of his Cab inet do not appear to be taking much in terest in the campaign. It is perfectly understood on all sides that the leading officials of the administration are alto gether lacking in enthusiasm for the tick et, and this feeling is known to be rapidly extending through all channels. In spite of all the talk elsewhere about an aggressive campaign and a certain victory, the leeling among those in gov ernment employ is very far from being one of confidence. The President ot the Buffalo Courier Company says that the scandal that has been published about Cleveland has no foundation in fact. He says that the story was manufactured by a man who failed to get an office that he wanted when Cleveland became Governor. The story will be shown to be false in due time. Will the Blaine papers publish the denial when proof of the falsity of the story is shown? The BJaine managers had better take the advice of a Washington Demo crat and call off their dog 9. Blaine’s Statesmanship. It is claimed that Cleveland has had no experience in national affairs, and that as a statesman he cannot be compared with Blaine. It is true that Cleveland has had nothing to do with national affairs, but he has handled the affairs of the great State of New York with remarkable ability. His messages and vetoes show that he has the capacity to deal with great public questions in a way to command respect and even admiration. With regard to Cleveland the matters that are being dis cussed are his acts since he became Gov ernor. With regard to Blaine, what is being discussed ? Measures that he origi nated or advocated while a member of Congress? Not at all. His record as a jobber is the only thing in Blaine’s career that is attracting attention. It is claimed lor him that he is a states man, and that in ability he stands head and shoulders above any man in his party. It is easy enough to make such a claim, but why not support it with some sort of evidence? What is there in Blaine’s whole public life that stamps him as a statesman? What measure did he ever propose that attracted attention or became a law ? Where does his mark appear on the statute book? It would be difficult for the most enthusiastic Blaine admirer to answer these questions. While others shaped the legislation of the coun try, Blaine was laying the foundations of his 'fortune. He was brilliant, smart and noisy, and managed to keep himself before the country as one of the ornaments of the National Legislature, but he was a showy rather than a useful ornament. Blaine, like Roscoe Conkling, won a reputation for brilliancy but lacked the ability to un derstand the wants of the country and the need of the times sufficiently to sug gest legislation. When he passes off the stage of action his eulogists will not be able to point to a siDgle public act of his that will entitle him to be classed among the great men who have figured in the history of the country. Notwithstanding Blaine's opportunities he has not done as much as Cleveland has in the line of statesmanship. He made a most excellent Speaker. His re markable memory, and his familiarity with parliamentary law and usages caused him to be regarded as one of the ablest men who ever occupied the Speak er’s chair. But Schuyler Colfax was as good a Speaker as Blaine, and certainly nobody will claim that Colfax is a great man or a statesman. Before drawing comparisons between Blaine and Cleve land as public men, to the disparagement of the latter, it would be well tor tne Blaine organs to prepare themselves to tell the public in what Blaine’s superiori ty consists. Let them point out what Blaine did in Congress beyond selling his favor and influence to the lobby that at tracted attention. Cheap Sugar. The modification of the tariff, coupled with the influence of the enormous quan tity of beet sugar made in Europe, and competition among refiners, has made su gar cheaper than ever before known in this country, with one exception. The best granulated sugar can be bought in New York for a little over 6% cents per pound, while raw sugar in Cuba goes begging for purchasers at 3 cents per pound. It is thought that prices in this country will go lower yet, and the bears do not hesitate to bet confidently that granulated will touch 6 cents before the end of the year. While the price tends downwards the market is not in the least depressed, and the demand ior sugar and the consump tion are greater than ever before. It is a solid drop down on account of the in creased supply of the commodity, and we need hardly fear that the prices of a year or two ago will be again reached in a long time. Of eoui*2 the low price bas an unfor tunate effect on Ibn Sugar producers of the United States, bouto of forced to the wall, and all of them w'!,, have to at least partially abandon sugar planting and engage in diversified farm ing, It would probably have been best it they had done this several years ago. But while a few are injured by the low price of sugar the benefits to the millions of consumers are such that they must at once be felt and appreciated. The most pronounced protectionist outside of Louisiana would hardly dare now to pro pose a duty on sugar that would restore old prices. Another important thing about the present state of the market is that we not only have cheaper sugar, but better su gar than formerly. Raw sugar is cheaper than glucose, and hence this adulterant is no longer being used, and the terra alba miners and marble dust dealers will have to reduce prices if they get much of their stuff down the throats of the people. Even the candy makers might now afford to unlock their doors and let the people see “what they are giving us.” And the glucose makers, poor fellows! The days of 500 per cent, profit on the manufacture of bogus sugar are perhaps gone forever. Let us drop them a crocodile tear. The Democratic Manager. Senator Gorman, it is announced, will manage the National as well as the Con gressional campaign for the Democrats. He is Chairman of the Congressional Committee and Chairman of the Execu tive Committee ot the National Commit tee. He is a comparatively young man. He is only 45 years of age, and doesn’t look to be more than 35. He is credited with splendid executive ability. Cool, cautious and courageous, be will prove more than a match for the crafty Elkins, who is Blaine’s chief manager. He is not a ready talker. He is a worker rather than a speech maker. He listens well, and arrives at conclusions quickly. His chief characteristic, probably, is his confidence in his own judgment. He isn’t afraid to act. From his youth he has mingled with public men. His boy hood was spent in the Senate chamber as a page, and as he grew older he held other offices which kept him at the capital. There is no occasion for apprehension that Elkins will gain any advantage over him. They will both show, however, whatever capacity they have. Barnum, the Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, and Jones, the Chairman of the National Republican Committee, will play probably the part ot figuie-heads. They will enjoy the honor of their posi tions without interfering much with the actual work of the committees. They may do something towards raising cam paign funds. Pacific coast printers have been boast ing that the printer who has stood longer at the case than any other printer in this country, lived in San Francisco and worked in the Chronicle office of that city. He has worked at the case a full half century. There is, however, a print er in Erie, Mr. Michael J. Quinn, known among the craft as “Father” Quinn, who has a longer “string” than the Golden Gate man. As the insurance men put down the printer’s life at thirty-two years, the Erie disciple of the art pre servative is worthy of note. “Father” Quinn was apprenticed when a lad to a printer in the city of Waterford, Ireland, in 1830, and after serving his apprentice ship got a “sit” on the London Times , and had several “fat takes” of the account y of the Queen’s marriage. Coming to America he got cases on the New York Evening Post, which he held for seven years. Turning his face westward he went to Erie, Pa., and served nearly twenty years on the Dispatch. He now holds cases on the Daily Herald, and, al though he is "0 years old, he is a rapid and correct printer, and declares himself capable of doing ten years’ more work. THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY AUGUST, 3, 1884. “Vanity of Vanities.” Were Mr. Henry Bergh to cause the ar rest of a hundred thousand respectable and fashionable ladies of New York, if* there he so many in the city, on the charge of being accessory to the crime of cruelty to innocent creatures, he would be almost universally decried as a crank and idiot, and he would be fortunate to escape be ing mobbed. Yet every lady who wears a bird on her hat is in a measure responsi ble for the wholesale destruction of birds for the purpose of obtaining theii skins and plumage. The ladies are the cause of the slaughter, and their consciences, and some fashionable women have con sciences, should reprove them, for were they not to buy and wear the prepared bird skins the birds would not be slain. An exchange says that one enterprising woman in New York ta9 contracted to furnish a Paris millinery establishment during this summer with 40,000 skins of* birds for which she is to receive 40 cents each. She pays hunters 10 cent 9 each for the skins, and it costs, perhaps, 5 cents each to dress and preserve them, so she will make on her contract the snug little sum of SIO,OOO in about three months, time. A great part of these birds, and thou sands more to fill other orders from va rious establishments, are being shot in Chesapeake Bay, especially on Cobb’s Is land, though many are obtained in the interior of several Northern States. The birds killed are gulls, cutwaters, plover, blue birds, red birds, and other varieties noted for the beauty of their plumage, and many of them for the sweetness of their songs. Scarcely any of them come under the head of birds injuri ous to crops, and many of them are in sectivorous and are useful in a high de gree to farmers and fruit growers. They are not protected by the game laws of all the Stales and are killed during the breed ing season, when for every old bird shot perhaps the destruction of two young ones is caused. The skins, after being shipped to their destination, are dyed, stuffed and mount ed, when they are sold at a great advance on original cost. There is'money in the business, and hence the dealers do all they can to encourage the cruel fashion of wearing stuffed birds. Humane women in some parts of Eu rope have formed societies to discourage this fashion, which is somewhat analagous to the Indian custom of using the scalps of enemies as articles of personal adorn ment. It is to be hoped our American ladies will follow suit, or it they form no socie ties, let them quietly inform their millin ers in advance, that they will not buy bats ornamented with stuffed bird skins this autumn. The cruel manufacturers can afford to bear their losses, and thus re ceive the punishment they deserve.) The Squeezing Committee. The announcement has been made within the last day or two at Washington that the committee appointed by the Re publican managers to assess government employes is ready for business. An ele gant suite of rooms has been rented and | fitted up in the style of a banking house, and the employes are expected to come forward promptly and pay their assessments. On the first day that the assessing, or rather, squeezing committee began busi ness about $l,OOO was received, but very little has Deen collected since then. The clerks leel that their places do not depend upon contributions, voluntary or involuntary, and they show a disposi tion to let the committee severely alone. Circulars have been sent to all em ployes who have a salary of more than $l,OOO a year, but care is taken that the clerks shall get the circulars at their homes, and not at the departments. It is not easy to un derstand how a party can advocate civil service reform as strongly as the Repub lican party in Its platform does while violating the spirit, if not th§ letter of the law, out ttlen everybody knows that the party, in advocating civil service reform, is not sincere. Even the department clerks who are hesitating about giving a part of their salaries to the campaign fund do not believe that Blaine will tie controlled by the civil service rules if elected. Asa rule government clerks are always in debt and, unless they are forced to make contributions, will keep away from the squeezing committee’s banking house. It would be rather sad for the committee if it failed to get more than enough for its own expenses. Cooking Schools. Miss Corson, of New* York, is still at work endeavoring to teach something about the almost lost art of cooking. She is coming Southward, and Baltimore is to have a cooking school under her superin tendence on Oct. 1. Miss Corson is well known as an author and lecturer, and she deserves honor and gratitude much more than most authors and lecturers who are tolerated, if not encouraged, throughout the land. The future of a country depends more upon the character of its cooking than upon its statesmen and politicians. If this be true, with what apprehensions should we of the South, who are sustained upon the incinerated or indefinable pro ductions of the average cook, look to the future. Our precious digestive organs are submitted daily to the persecutions of this uatural enemy, the cook, and thous ands lie in pain through the long night watches and bemoan their fate, and sigh over an enforced servitude to their un worthy servants that they have not the courage to terminate. We go through life with impaired health, with ruined tempers and depleted purses, with scarce ly a protest, and without once making a firm resolve to better our condition. It is to be hoped Miss Corson will not stop long at Baltimore. She would be hailed as a public benefactor were she to devote a few months to a canvass of the whole South. After properly presenting the subject in each city she blight estab lish normal schools of cookery, and the good she could do might leave its impress on generations yet unborn. It is in her power now to become the great apostle of cookery in America, and to send her name “adwn the ages.” She should not be content with a school in a $4,000 kitchen, even in Baltimore, when a brilliant and profitable career is within her reach. If, when the opportunity is offered them, the cooks of the South re luse to learn anything about cooking, they should be shorn of their power, and we should resolve to have our food burned at public crematories. The opinion seems to be gaining ground that in case of the appearance of serious epidemics in crowded cities, the old Syrian proverb—‘‘two-thirds of bravery consists in running away”—is very good doctrine. This, of course, don’t apply to those whose duties require them to stay and face the danger, whatever the con sequences may be, but to the thousands of poor, who are crowded in the worst sections of cities, and who only serve as prey for the destroyer. Every place ap prehensiye of the appearance of a pesti lence ought to have a plan adopted for the immediate and almost total depopulation of infected districts. This is no small undertaking, however, and, under usual conditions, is all but impracticable. The vessel designated for the use of the President of the United States and party during the summer vacation appeared to be specially fitted for a journey up Salt river. As soon as an effort was made to run her up the Hudson in fresh water it was found out that she wouldn't go, and si the Executive and Commander-in-Chief had to take to the eras. CURRENT COMMENT. Forgotten Butler's Pledges. Detroit Free Free* (Dem.). Chairman Jones, of the Greenback Com mittee, has forgotten, apparently, that Butler pledged himself at Chicago to support the Democratic nominee. It Can’t Be Wiped Out. Galeeston 2fevc* {Dem.). No amount of lies concerning the private character of Grover Cleveland can wipe out the fact that James G.Blaine received a bribe of s>>4,ooo from the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad managers for making a ruling favor able to them while Speaker of the House of Representatives. False Charges Denied. Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.). The Republicans who are trying to defeat Cleveland by asserting that he is running on a “free trade" platform, are receiving mate rial aid from the protective crank* in the Democratic party who are trying to show that the platform is for a nigh’protective tariff. One is as false and injurious to him as the other. Bnry the Offensive Corpse. Xew York World (Dem.). Now in its old age the degraded party puts in nomination for the Presidency a political speculator who sold his services as Speaker of the House of Representatives to railroad cor porations. Let it die at the age of thirty of Blaineism, in Maine, and please bury the offensive corpse out of sight as speedily as may be. Dana’s Addled Intellect. .Veic York Sun ( Ind.). Whether Mr. Blaine will receive more votes than Cleveland remains to be seen. If the Cleveland electors receive the greatest num ber of votes Mr. Cleveland will certainlv be elected. But how about Gen. Butler? Gov. Cleveland is an honest man, and in this re spect he differs from Capt. Kidd. There is St. John, too; he will probably poll a large Pro hibition vote. Perhaps lie will beelected. At all events politics arc very much mixed. ITEMS OF INTEREST. Col. Wm. F. Beaslev, who is working up the North Carolina Soldiers’ Home project, has already securedYtl,ooo of the SIOO,OOO de sired to make the home a success. To such a pass has the roller skate craze gone in Omaha, that even the hotel waiters elide around on “the wheels" in attending to the r duties. The average of broken crockery has increased alarmingly of late in Omaha Uostelries. A traveler in Mexico exclaims, “What do you think of a country wlffire you have to pay 25 cents for a ‘shave’ and yet good cigars are only 4 cents each; and you can get all the fruit you can eat at one sitting, mangoes, figs, limes, aquacates, saiiodillas,' bananas, etc., for 10 cents!" Of the ill sessions of Congress twenty-seven have lasted over two hundred days, the last one included. The longest was the first ses sion of the Thirty-first—3o2 days, from Dec. 3, 1849, to£ept. 30, 1850. There have been thirteen special sessions, nearly all short. The Fortieth Congress held five sessions, and is the only one that ever held more than three. A Cape Breton man last spring shipped five barrels of eggs packed in hay for Boston on the slow sailing ship St. Saphire. When he reached port he found that the hay on the under part of the barrels had become so heat ed that half the eggs were cooked. The re maining half hatched out and subsisted for two months on the roasted eggs. They were almost ready for the market when they were released from their prison. The Crow Indians are taking kindly to farming operations on the Big Horn, Mon tana, aud appear greatly pleased with the re sult of their labors. They exhibit the blisters ob their hands, the result of working the plow, with becoming pride. A number of them will go into the business of cutting hay for sale. Some of them are sharp enough to have al ready located good claims, which they intend to sell when that part of the reservation is thrown open to settlers. Gen. Stone, the engineer in charge of the construction of the Bartholdi pedestal, re ceived a letter from M. Bartholdi on Wednes day. “The artist tells me,” said Mr. Stone yesterday, “tliat the statue is being carefully boxed and the pieces marked, so that they can be placed iu order on the French war vessel. He says that the statue will most probably arrive in this country not later than next November. We are building for all time and a part of eternity,” added Sir Stone, “and we want $120,000 more.” Dk. W. J. Harris, a physician of St. Louis, writes thus in the Globe-Democrat concerning l)r. i’avy, one of the victims of the Greely party: Dr. Pa vy’s constant dream was to en ter the Arctic regions by way of Behring's Straits, carrying a portable boat on sledges over the belt of ice, and as soon as the Polar sea was reached to launch the boat and sail away to the pole, returning by way of Green land te the Atlantic the following season. I do not think that Dr. Pary ever had a shadow of a doubt about the existence of an open Polar sea. He has talked to me for hours, and by many ingenious theories proved that such a sea existed. A poor English lady, .whose house on the outskirts of London was overrun by black beetles, which dwelt not only on the walls, but in the beds, applied the other day to a magistrate to know whether she could be compelled, un der such circumstances, to pay her rent. The magistrate explained to her that the courts were divided upon the question. A house overrun with hugs had been pronounced un inhabitable, but not with beetles. She would hare to carry the matter to the House of Lords. It is interesting and instructive in these revolutionary times to read that these matters can only be definitely settled by a hereditary chamber. During a recent tornado in Richland, Ky., a farmer’s wife Vasin the summer kitchen preparing supper, and her daughter was in the dining-room setting the table. As the wind strucK the house the currents divided, one carried the kitchen two miles up to an ad joining county, and the other deposited the main part of the house half a mile in the op posite direction.' By a strange freak o> na ture both houses were picked up by the re turning current and set back directly in their former places, as neatly as if the work had been done by hand. The women were so busily engrossed in their work that they did not notice that anything unusual happened until their attention had been called to a crack in the roof. A famous London institution has just gone under the hammer. This is Wombwell's menagerie, latterly known as Edmund’s, which dates back to tlie time when lions were kept in the Tower and in Exeter Change, and was contemporary with the historic giraffe of George IV. Despite the competition of the Zoological Garden and various traveling shows, the noted managerie was long a profit able concern. It was famous for the number and variety of its trained animals. There were groups of performing hyenas, groups of performing lions and leopards, a zebra, one of the most unruly of quadrupeds broken to har ness, a llama that would go through evolu tions on parade, dromedaries that went in harness, and a sacred Egyptian baboon of equal rarity and value. The monarch of the collection was the great elephant Emperor, the largest of his species that ever traveled in the British Islands, and who is only a few inches shorter than Jumbo, The Casual Observer was one day walking up Broadway with a Wall street man, who suddenly stopped near the post office, and pointing with his stick to a man on the other side of the street, said, “Do you see that man? He will drop dead before he reaches Trinity Church.” The Casual Observer met the man who was to have dropped dead three or four times after that on tne street, and although he looked strong and healthy he could never disabuse his mind of the idea that the man w r as-doomed. He asked his Wall street friend about the man after that, and he said: “I merely wanted to give you an illustration of bear methods. You will never see that man again without thinking of my prophecy. So it is in Wall street. A bad name is given to a certain stock or property, and although the whole thing is a lie, yet somehow it gets into the minds of the people, and the property goes down and down for no other reason than that people think there must be someHiing wrong with it because someone has sa^A.” Two good stories are told Romanes in a review of Sully’s “lt is evident, from the number of original observa tions which are scattered through the book that Mr. Sully must himself have spent no small amount of time and devotion at the shriue (baby-worship). Here is one of his experiences, in which *a little girl of i x /i years once drove her mother to one of the most difficult problems of philosophy.’ On asking why a wasp could not hurt a window pane with its sting, and on being told in answer, ‘Because the window-pane has no nerves, and so is not .able to feel,’ the child perplexed the learning of the household bj asking,‘Why do nerves feel?’ We quote this little incident in order to cap it witn one of a still more embarrassing kind, which we were told a short time ago. Another little girl of the same age was silently watching her father write his sermon, and. after pro tracted observation, put to him the somewhat difficult question, 'Papa, does God tell you what to write in a sermon?’ With some little hesitation our clerical friend replied in the affirmative, whereupon he was ignominiously nonplussed by the further question, ‘Then, papa, why do yon scratch it out again?’ ” BRIGHT BITS.

Mr. Cable, whose novels have made him known the country over, figures in the follow ing anecdote from the Baton Rouge Truth-. “A few weeks ago we heard a member of the General Assembly ask another. ’Who is that man Cable they were talking about in the Senate to-day while discussing the peniten tiary bill?’ ’Oh, he’s a fellow who wrote a piece about State prisons,’ was the answer. ‘Where is he from?’ again queried the first wise law-maker. ‘He’s a New Orleans man, I believe,’ responded the other.” Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, though now over 70 years of age, wears all her weight of years and learning lightly. Her visits to the ’Con cord School of Philosophy are always awaited with the utmost interest when it is known she will speak. A correspondent says of her: “She is one of the few women of our day who can appear on the platform without making one wish she were a man. She never dies anything unwomanly, but. observant as she is of the forms of society, she is never compla cently eon ventional: she dares to say what she thinks. She says it boldly, gracefully, with a certain fascination Ahat attracts the closest attention.” BOOK NOTICES. Property in Land, a Passage-at-Arms be tween the Duke of Argyll and Henry George.

The Magazine oj American History for August comes laden with a variety of agreeable surprises. It will attract many readers. The opening article, “The Story of a Monument,” by S. N. D. North, of the Utica Herald, is a timely production, and of curious interest to the public in gen eral. The illustrations add greatly to its value, of which is the fine portrait of ex- Gov. Horatio Seymour—frontispiece to the magazine. The next article intro duces a learned discussion of the new and novel question, “Did the Romans Colonize America ?” The author, M. Y. Moore, foreshadows further papers, and from the masterly skill with which he handles the subject they will naturally excite wide attention. The third article is a graphic description of “Lee ; o Cam paign against Pope in 1862,” with three il lustrative maps, by Professor W. Allan. Following this is a touching and appre ciative sketch of “Charles Fenno Hoff man,” by W. D. Keese, with an excellent portrait’of Hoffman. There are quite a number of other interesting articles. No. 30 Lafayette Place, New York. The August issue of the Eclectic Maga zine presents a goodly list of important and interesting articles. Among those to which special attention may be called, the following may be designated: “Le Style C’est l’Homme,” by Lord Lytton, is a charmingly written study of the personal elements which enter into good literary work. Mr. R. Brook’s discusses “Poetic Emotions and Affinities,” in a suggestive manner. “The Poor Man’s Gospel,” from the Contemporary Review, by Richard Heath, is a fresh and pungent treatment of a subject which in someone or other of its many phases is now attracting more attention than any other. The article on the Princess Alice of Hesse, under the title of “An English Princess,” sketches a noble and sweet life, and is full of pathetic touches. Mr. Justice Stephen presents the argument against “Agnosti cism” so powerfully advocated in re cent numbers by Herbert Spencer, Fred erick Harrison, and others, in a strong paper bearing the title “The Unknowable and the Unknown.” 25 Bond street, New York. It will be a person hard to suit who cannot find something to interest him in the August Manhattan, for its contents present a wide variety of topics. The leading article is on the Yellowstone National Park, by Ashley W. Cole, who has evidently thoroughly explored the park, and writes about it graphically. The illustrations are profuse and excel lent. Another illustrated paper is “Paul Delaroche and His Pupils,” by Ernest Knaufft, with some beautiful reproduc tions of Delaroche’s famous painting, “The Hemicvcle,” now in the Walters’ Gallery, at Baltimore. Avery original short story is “An Incident in the Life of Dr. Jane Temple,” by Clara Lanza, the daughter of Dr. Hammond, and a more amusing negro sketch than “Tilly Bones,” by E. W. Bellamy, of Mobile, has not been printed in a long while. The first part of Kate Field’s vivacious “Diary in London” is capital summer reading. Temple Court, New York. St. Nicholas for August is fresh, bright and entertaining. The illustrations are especially tine. The number is interests ing not only to children, but to people of maturity. The aim of the publishers of St. Xicholas seems to be to keep each de partment up to a very high standard. “ELI PERKINS” IN FRANCE. The Impressions of a Trip from Paris to Dijon—The Country Literally One Large Garden—What Makes a Rich Nation—The Farmer’s Loyalty to the Republic—The Crops in Europe. Special Correspondence oj the Morning Xexcs. Dijon, France, July 19.—1n going from Paris to Geneva, via Dijon, we pass through the best portion of France. For hundreds of miles every inch of land is cultivated. The abrupt side hills are in grape vines and the flat land in grain. Here we see the phenomenon of double crops—a crop of grain and vegetables growing under a crop of trees. The Nor mandy poplar trees are from an inch to three feet in diameter. They are planted thickly, but give no shade. They are trimmed within six feet of the tops. The boughs, which are cut off every year, make faggots enough to warm France. We often see men and women cradling wheat or hoeing beets in the midst of a wood giving no shade. When you look across the country the tall boughless trunks look like black streaks painted against the sky. They make the view very picturesque. Our farmers on the prairies could plant black walnut trees where they want fences, trim them to the tops, preventing shade, and then string barbed wire on the trunks for fences’. At the end of fifty years the black walnut trees on a man’s farm would be worth more than his farm! Wood in France is sold for a third of a cent abound. It is worth as much as corn in Kansas by the pound. So when the Kansas man burns corn he is no more profligate than the Frenchman who burns faggots. The French farmer would never thiukof burn ing wood to heat his house. He sits in the cold all the winter long, only using wood to cook with. The average farmer does not know enough to buy coal or kero sene yet. He does not Jive as well as the poorest negro in the South. He has no home comforts; poverty and ignorance are his companions. THE SMALL FRENCH FARMS. France is literally one large garden. Every inch of soil is cultivated. In riding from Paris to Dijon—lso miles—we count ed only 30 cattle. We saw no sheep or hogs. The farm 9 have usually from one to ten acres, aud some have as many as twenty acres. They are usually from 30 to 300 feet wide, and 1,500 to 2,000 feet long. There are no fences between them. When I asked a French farmer how his farm happened, like all the rest, to be so long and narrow, he said: “it has been divided up so often. When a French father dies he divides his farm, and each one of his children has an equal share. He always divides it lengthwise, so as to give each one a long strip. The long strips are easily cultivated, because we plow lengthways! These strips always run north and south, so the sun can shine into the rows.” - “How large is your farm ?” I asked. “My father’s farm was 300 feet wide and 2,000 feet long. When he died my brother had half. Now my farm is 150 feet wide and 2,000 feet long. It is quite a large farm. There are many farms much smaller than mine.” “What do you plant in it?” I asked. “See over there,” he said, pointing to what seemed to be a gigantic piece of striped carpet, “is a strip of wheat 60 feet wide. Then comes a strip of potatoes 25 leet wide. Then comes 40 feet of oats, then 10 feet of carrots, 20 feet of alphalpha (clover), 10 feet of mangel-wurzels,s feet of onions, 5 feet of cabbages, and the rest is in flowers, peas, currants, gooseberries and little vegetables.” “Can you support your family on a farm 150 feet wide and 2,ooofeet long?” I asked, for the narrow strip seemed like a man’s doorvard in America. “Support my family?” he exclaimed. “Why the farm is too large for us. I rent part of it out now.” “But your house,” I said; “where is that?” “O, that is in town. Five families of us live in one house there. My wife and I come out every morning to work and go in at night.” “Does your wife always work in the field?” I asked. “Yes. My wife,” he continued, point ing to a bare-footed and bare-headed wo man, at least six feet around the waist, “she can do more work than I can. She pitches the hay to me on the stack. All French women work in the field. Why not? They have nothing to do at home.” This is true. The wife of a French, English, Irish or German farmer has nothing to do at home. They do not “keep house,” like the wives of American farmers. They have no houses to keep. The huts they live in are like stables. They live in the same building with their horses, hens and pigs. They never wash a floor. There is never a table-cloth. They live like brutes. The handsome farm-house, off by itself, surrounded by trees and gardens, does not exist in France. They live no better, and are really no better off, than were the slaves of the South before the war. French farmers always congregate in little tum ble-down villages, situated about two miles apart. These villages may have been built three hundred years ago. The roofs are moss-covered, the houses are dirty, and remind one of a county poor house in New England. LITTLE FARMS MAKE A RICH NATION. There are millions of farms in France containing from a quarter of an acre to four acres. 1 find that about an acre and a half is about all the most ambitious man wants. The rent for land is always one-half the crop. The land is wortli about S4OO an acre, or, if in grape vines, S6OO. This is why France is like a garden. In England there are 227,000 landowners; in France there are 7,000,000 land-owners. The Frenchman on his two acres, with his barefooted wife cutting grain with a sickle by his side, is happy and contented, because he knows no better. Such a de grading life would drive an American farmer mad. The Frenchman thrives because he spends nothing. He has no wants beyond the coarsest food and the washings’ of the grape skins after the wine is made. Yes, he is thrifty. He saves money, too. The aggregated wealth of 30,000,000 poor, degraded, barefooted peasants makes France rich. The igno rance of the French farmer is appalling. I never saw a newspaper iu a French farm village. Their wants are no more than the wants of a horse. The French man eats the coarsest food—about the same as he feeds his horse. He will eat coarse bread and wine for breakfast; soup, bread and wine for dinner; and per haps bread and milk for supper; he does not know what coffee or tea is. The ne groes of the South live like kings com pared to a French farmer. Still, the Frenchman is satisfied because he knows no better. When I asked a French farmer who w as cultivating his farm (150 by 1,500) if he saved any money, he said: “O, not much.’ Igo to all the fetes. I laid by 500 francs ($100) last year. I put it in the Caisse d’ Epargne.” “What is that?” I asked of the land lord. That is the Government Savings Bank. The government takes the money of the poor, up to 1,000 francs, and gives them per cent, for its use. The peasant farmers of France have nearly $800,000,- 000 on deposit in these savings banks. These poor, degraded, half-led farmers keep the French treasury full of money. THE FRENCH FARMER LOVES THE RE PUBLIC. The French farmer loves the Republic, but the people of Paris hate it. The Em pire made Paris. Without the Empire trade is bad in Paris; so Paris sighs for some Louis XIV. or Napoleon 111. to come and establish an expensive court again. I asked a farmer near Dijon if he pre ferred the Republic to the Empire. “Yes,” he said “but we want most of all peace. We are sick of war. If the Empire comes they will want us to light. We want to stay at home on our farms. Frenchmen do not like to fight. The Parisians want an Emperor who will collect millions of dollars from the coun try and spend it on opera houses and pub lic buildings in Paris.” I found Paris very dull. Trade there is stagnant. The people there are dissatis fied. I would not be surprised to hear any day that the Republic was dead and another Empire declared. All that is wanting is the right man with old Bour bon blood in him, and a few Generals in the army. Dijon, Macon, Amiens and all the provincial cities like the Republic— but Paris is France. THE CROPS IN EUROPE. The crops in England and France are good everywhere with the exception of hops in Kent. Wheat in France is splen did. The fields are so small that they are reaping it with a sickle. A man and his wife and three children can reap with the sickle and bind about as much wheat as one man can reap and bind in America. In America the wife is attending the re ceiving of society, and the children are at school. In France the whole family is in the field. Indian corn is raised all over the south ern hall of France. They plant one stalk in a hill and hoe it by hand. The weeds are all hoed out of the wheat, bar ley and oats by hand. Wheat is worth in Dijon $1 25 per bushel. Immense quantities of American corn are shipped to France to be made into spirit. The French thicken their soup with corn meal. American bacon can be bought in Dijon for 10 cents per pound. The French do not eat it much; they prefer beef suet or cotton seed oil. France and England will not take an unusual quantity of American wheat or corn this year; so if America raises 500,- 000,000 bushels of wheat it must lie sold at a price low enough to put it into France and England at or below sl, or stay in America. America can drive out Indian or Russian wheat, and break up wheat raising in England and France by put ting wheat into Liverpool and Havre at sl. It would be a blessing to America to do this once, and open the channels of trade. HOW TO MAKE WINE. Dijon is the centre of the Burgundy wine district. To make Burgundy wine the grapes are picked, crushed and put in a vat to ferment for thirty-six hours. Then they are pressed and put in open barrels in cold cellars where the ther mometer stands at 35 above zero. If put in a warm room the wine turns to sugar as it does in America. After three weeks fermenting the wine is drawn oft' into clear casks and the settlings left. In the second casks (always open) it stands six months, when it is drawn into third casks. Here it stays two years. Then it is bot tled and fit for use after standing a year. In making wine in America our people could succeed if they would observe fer mentation ot the crushed grapes and skins for thirty-six hours and then keep the wine in barrels with open bung-holes in cold cellars, where it will not turn to vinegar. Dijon, thS centre of the Bur gundy wine district, has about the cli mate of Akron, Ohio. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, or Kansas can make just as good Burgundy wine as Dijon, and will do it sometime in the future. Eli Perkins. CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS. The Distinguished Candidates Meeting for the First Time—A Protracted Con versation—A Savannah Alderman Con gratulates Hendricks. Saratoga, N. Y., July 31.—Ex-Gov. Hendricks left Saratoga at 1 o’clock this afternoon for Albany, and returned to night. He went to visit his colleague on the Presidential ticket, Gov. Cleveland. As they had not met before, the meeting was looked forward to with considerable interest by both of the distinguished can didates. No demonstration of any kind took place upon the arrival of Mr. Hendricks in Albany; in fact, none was desired or intended. Scarcely half a dozen persons knew of the presence of the distinguished visitor. When he alighted from the train he was immediately escorted to a carriage by Col. Daniel S. Lamont, Gov. Cleve land’s private secretary, who had come to the depot with a message of welcome. The carriage was rapidly driven to the Executive Mansion. Gov. Cleveland came to the door to receive his guest. A warm grasp of the hand and a cordial welcome greeted Mr. Hendricks. Then both gen tlemen, with Col. Bannister, retired to the library, where they conversed privately for nearly three hours. Mr. Daniel Manning and Col. Lamont were present during part of the interesting discussion. THE GOVERNOR’S GUEST. Of course full details of the important conference could not be obtained. Sev eral persons waited around the executive chamber in the hope oi seeing Mr. Hen dricks. but he did not leave the capitol building, but dined with the Governor at 6 o’clock. Col. Lamont came to the exec utive chamber shortly after 5 and in formed some of the waiting newspaper correspondents of the important fact that the Governor and the ex-Governor had met and shaken hands in the most affable manner. The reticent private secretary naturally enough could not be induced to narrate any of the questions discussed be tween the two distinguished Democrats. RETURNING TO SARATOGA. Mr. Hendricks returned to Saratoga with your correspondent by the 7 o’clock train,’ which arrived here a few minutes before 9. On the return trip he sooke warmly of Gov. Cleveland, of his pleasant visit, and of the political outlook. “I was much pleased and impressed with Gov. Cleveland,” said Mr. Hendricks. “He seems to me to be a frank, outspoken, cool, clear bred man. 1 never had the pleasure of meeting him before.” “Was any plan of campaign agreed upon or discussed?” inquired your cor respondent. “No. We merely talked on general topics,” replied Mr. Hendricks. “Any agreement entered into as to when the letters of acceptance will be given to the public?” “No.” “You had never met Mr. Daniel Man ning before?” “Never. The visit was very pleasant. Gov. Cleveland is dignified, courteous in bearing, incisive and exact in speech.” “1 understand that you dined with the Governor ?” “Yes; Col. Bannister, of Indiana, was also present.” “Your discussion of political affairs was general in character?” “It was. I believe we both thought the prospects of Democratic success were bright. We were freely in accord upon any questions referred to and well satis fied to leave the the management of the camjiaizn in the hands of the very com petent committee that has it in charge.” Two gentlemen from the South here walked from one end of the car and intro duced themselves to Gov. Hendricks. “We are from Savannah, Ga.,” remarked one. “This is my lriend, Alderman Han ley,” (turning to his companion). “We are both right glad to see you and hope you will be elected.” The ex-Governor shook them warmly by the hand, while a group of correspondents sat around and listened. People in the ear (the ladies particularly) leaned forward attentively when they heard the name of Hendricks mentioned. “LITTLE MAC.” He Tells of His Removal from the Com mand of tlie Army of the Potomac. A short time ago it was my good fortune to meet Gen. George B. McClellan, the one time idol of the Army of the Potomac, says a Pittsburg Dispatch gossiper. Not having seen him for many years, the con versation naturally turned upon the late war. “I admit,” said he, “the order re lieving me was a surprise. You remem ber I assumed command just before South Mountain, and fought the battle of An tic tam. Shortly after that victory Presi dent Lincoln visited me at my headquar ters, and a pleasanter visitor I never had. Woftallqtd over past movements of the army, and, at his suggestion, I showed him my plans for the future. He expressed himself as being per fectly satisfied at what had been' done, and heartily approved of my plans. Laying both his hands on my shoulders, he said, with a smile that warmed to the innermost soul: ‘General, I fully approve of what vou have don*, and like your plans for the coming cam paign. Go on, and, depend on it,”l will stick by you.’ Two days after I was re lieved of mv command. I made inquiry and found Mr. Lincoln had tried to fulfill his promise, but, having little influence at headquarters, he could not do as he de sired. Stanton and others had taken a political view of army officers, and had c mpelied my retirement. Ineverblamed Mr. Lincoln, and always thought that his life must have been an unhappy one, surrounded as he was by many who could not grasp the broad views he entertained.” “General,” I said, “you have many reminiscences of the war that would be extremely interesting to the public, and more especially to your friends who served under you; why don’t you do as Sherman did, write a book ?” “Oh, no,” said he, laughing, “there is time enough for that. The tacts will be made known some day. Probably after my death the truth will be written, and then ” “Yes, and then”—l replied—“you and those who fought under you will he mustered out by the man with the scythe.” At the next station, with a kindly shake of the hand, he stepped from the’ train, and was greeted by those who stood on the platform. Edwin Bdoth and his pretty daughter. Miss Edwina, are at the cottage he re cently purchased in a quiet portion of Newport. He will appear during the en suing season, nearly at hand, under the management of R. M. Field, supported only hy the company of Mr. Field’s the atre. The only engagement that he plays in New York will be at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, continuing four weeks. New bangles have half of the hoop studded with rubies, emeralds or dia monds. HJattttft.
