Manager of Daily Morning News and
Weekly News. Nun Building. New York.
The Morning News will begin the
publication of anew serial story next
Sunday entitled “The Creole of Glenside,”
by Mrs. James Hine, of Home, Ga. The
story depicts, in a graphic and interest
ing way, plantation life and manners.
The characters are portrayed with truth
and fidelity and the interest is maintained
from tbe beginning to the end. It is well
worth perusal.
The Courier-Journal has won the en
mity of the Louisville ball players by
calling the reverend Buffalo scandal
monger a base Ball.
The efforts made by Abram K. Eno. the
aged father of the absconding New York
banker, to save the creditors of the bank,
make the conduct of the defaulter ap
pear ten times more ignominious.
Young John A. Logan, it appears, is
charged not only with profanity but with
lying. Young John is improving his West
Point advantages by laying the founda

statesman. .
The Republican Commit*, t vet
got the ex-Ukalona States man to come to
the front in the campaign. They are
doubtless holding him in reserve to see
whether the Indianapolis libel suit dodge
will prove a failure.
Several kinds of fruit are being for
warded to New Orleans to be kept in

The Exposition managers have made ar

The pot is calling the kettle black
again. The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
sette says the Chicago Times is the dir
tiest paper in the West. Now let the
Pittsburg and Buffalo scandal-mongers
begin to upbraid each other.
The unwelcome news comes from South
New Jersey that the cranberry crop in
that district is a total failure. The tur
key crop in North Georgia, Tennessee and
North Carolina is promising. Turkev can
be made very palatable without cran
berry sauce.
The trotting record has been lowered a
little more than one-quarter of a minute
during the last forty years, and just one

general opinion that the record will stand
at 209% for a long time.

Now Mark Twain and G. W. Cable ac
tually threaten to begin that lecture tour
very shortly. People are puzzled to know
whether they shall get an extra supply of
handkerchiefs, or have a few more stitches
taken in their buttons. The lectures are
expected to be either very sad or very
funny.
The eminent female suffragists who de
clared for Blaine seem to have forgotten
their vows to Butler. Now that the Gen
eral is squarely in the field, Susan B. and
Elizabeth C. should remember who has
been their real friend. Butler gave them
taffy unblushingly when Blaine appeared
to have no Knowledge of their existence.
a
A distinguished medical and gastro
nomical authority says that the only
articles of food not condemned by re
spectable writers are mutton and onions.
Col. “H. H. J.” evidently knows what he
is writing about when he proposes, every
once in a while, to “return to our mutton.”
Mutton is said to be just as digestible in
French as in English.
The Democrats of Maine, having waited
in vain for Blaine’s aggressive campaign
to begin, propose to push things them
selves. They will have a grand mass
meeting soon at Bar Harbor, right in sight
and hearing of the Republican candidate’s
cottage. An ovation will be given Gen.
McClellan, who was so signally slighted
by the Grand Army a few days ago.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
reminds the critics of an important omis
sion in Blaine’s autobiography. He says
in the Thirty-sixth Congress, John A.
Logan, then a Democrat, had a tilt with
Mr. Kellogg, his Republican colleague
from Illinois, and that Logan became so
incensed that he made an attempt to draw
his revolver, but was restrained oy friendly
hands.
The Orient is the l’aradise of profes
sional liars. The Chinese are adepts in
the art of prevarication, while the Egypt
ians are their rivals. The Arabs have
always been noted as able liars, and
even in America the street arabs often
develop into anonymous correspondents.
There is an air of veracity about the
Oriental lie, however, which the Western
professionals have never succeeded in
imitating.
Rev. Dr. J. R. Graves was stricken with
paralysis while preaching in the First
Baptist Church at Memphis, Sunday
morning. His condition Sunday night
was critical. Dr. Graves is one of the
most powerful preachers and writers in
the country. He is well known as the
long-time editor of the Tennessee Baptist,
a denominational paper which he has
conducted at Nashville and Memphis for
nearly forty years.
Jersey farmers are sorely taxed these
days on account of the ravages of small
boys and tramps. It takes about as ranch
trouble to guard a crop as to make it, and
In some sections neighbors join in keeping
perpetual watch over their orchards and
melon patches. Their favorite ammuni
tion is powder and coarse salt, tanm-rs
are otten robbed by tramps when return
ing from town with their parchascs and
the money for which they have sold their
produce.
Tbs Percheron horses which arc being
bred in this country are splendid draft
animals. Crossed with the tough, wiry
Southern and Western ponies a race
might be produced that would be superior
for ordinary farm purposes. As soon as a
proper substitute can be obtained the
muls will have to go. It is not economy
to use animals that will not reproduce
their species. The buying of new stock
mules every few years is a tax that bears
i heavily on planters.
The diminution in the number of acci
dents by the explosion of coal oil is quite
noticeable. This is no doubt due to the
strict laws in nearly all the States in
regard to the testing of oil before it is put
on the market. Very few explosions npw
occur except as the result of carelessness
In the care of the lamps or the handling
of the oil. Comparing the number of
people burned by the explosion of coal oil
with those burned in other ways oil can
r o longer be regarded as dangerous when
psed with caution.
Cleveland's Letter or Acceptance.
Gov. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance
has the merit of being short and to the
point. He docs not think it necessary to
state what tbe principles of his party
are. That, he considers, was done
by the national convention in the
platform which it adopted. He points
out that ir elected it will be his duty to
execute tbe laws, not to make them. He.
therefore, considers that it is incumbent
on him only to deal wiib those things
which are directly connected with the
office for which he has been nominated.
In this be shows wisdom. The people
want to know what to expect of him in
the event of his becoming President, and
he very frankly tells them. He proposes
to execute the duties of the great office
with fidelity and with such ability as he
possesses. He does not think that a
President should be eligible to a second
term because of the temptation to use
the patranage under his control for his
own advantage rather than for the public
good. He therefore favors a constitu
tional amendment making a President
ineligible for a second term.
He speaks in a plain, strightforward
way respecting the workingmen. They
are entitled to certain rights which they
ought to have, and they ought to be pro
tected against foreign contract labor,
which the protected monopolists have
lieen bringing to this country within the
last few years. He comprehends the
wants of commerce and can be depended
upon to approve any measure that looks
to the improvement of the water ways ot
the country, and to securing better and
cheaper transportation facilities.
With the effort to improve the civil ser
vice he is in full accord. In his opinion
merit alone should determine appoint
ments to office. The government should
have the best service that can be had for
the compensation that is paid.
Gov. Cleveland believes in a plain, hon
est government. His utterances are those
of a statesman who will serve the country
conscientiously and faithfully if called to
the high office of President.
The Louisiana War.
The Governor of Louisiana does not
appear to meet with much success in his
attempt to wipe out the little speck of
war in Iberia parish in that State. It
made its appearance soon after the elec
tion last spring, and there it has remained
ever since. Two men claim the office of
District Judge. Fontellieu was the occu
pant of the office and a candidate
for re-election. He is a Repub
lican, but is a native and
a member of one of the old Creole families
of the parish. Gates was the Democratic
candidate. The returning officers re
turned him as elected and the Governor
commissioned him. Fontellieu claims
that he was elected and counted out. lie
doesn't propose to submit to what he calls
a great wrong. Hence, the speck of war.
It seems as if the Governor ought to have
shown himself master of the situation
before this. lie has all the militia he
needs to execute his orders. The trouble
seems to be that his orders when executed
don’t stay executed.
This seems to indicate that Fontellieu
is backed by a pretty strong sentiment in
the parish. Is it not possible that he was
really elected, and that the friends of his
opponent bad control of the ballot boxes*
A man who was fairly beaten, if endowed
with reasonable sense, would hardly be
so contentious without some excellent
reason.
It is a remarkable fact that the Legisla
ture which convened in May did not
settle the trouble by trying Fontellieu
on the articles of impeachment which
were presented against him. Can it be
possible that there are facts connected
with the controversy which it was
thought not desirable to make public?
To say the least of it the Legislature
doesn't appear to have acted a straight
forward and courageous part.
There are two factions in the Demo
cratic party of Louisiana. It has been al
leged that the faction that controls the
State won its position by means that are
open to criticism. The Fontellieu-Gates
trouble may not become more serious
than it is at present, but it is pretty cer
tain that there will be other and perhaps
more dangerous troubles in Louisiana of
a similar character if the will of the ma
jority is not respected.
Belting on tlie Election.
Advices from the principal cities of the
Union indicate that the sporting gentle
| men are not taking hold of the election
yet with any great degree of vigor. Usu
ally, betting on the result of a national
election begins as soon as the candidates
are fairly, in the field, but there are so
many “ifs” and “ands” in the present
outlook that betting men. with few ex
ceptions. are holding their money for
further developments.
When it is remembered that “money
j talks’’ and exposes the true judgment of
sporting men, it is rather discouraging to
j be deprived of a view of the political ba
| rometer through the timidity of the men
| who manage it. There are many people
j who believe that betting men have secret
| avenues of information as to the chanees
of success of the different candidates.
I This is one of the popular errors of the
[ day. They get the same information
I from the daily papers that other intelli
gent men get and they must draw their
conclusions therefrom.
In the present canvass the leading sport
ing men so far appear to be holding off.
They are afraid to go very heavy on their
favorites, but they keep up a continual
hum of chin music. In the Republican
communities the Blaine men are confi
dent, and in several instances Cleveland
men have covered bets at con
siderable odds. In some of the
other cities, the Democrats have
offered odds. Even betting is the general
rule. The New York Times of Monday
has four columns of dispatches from the
different betting centres giving some idea
of the status of affairs. It seems that
where the parties are about equally
divided both parties are afraid to put
much on the issue, for the merest acci
dent may decide in lavor #f the one or the
other. •
There seems to be plenty money in the
country for betting purposes, but it will
probably be September or October before
much of it will be staked on the election.
It may lacc-tate Mr. Dana’s heart, but
truth requires it to be said that nobody is
going around, half wild, offering to bet
two to one on Gen. Butler’s election.
Notwithstanding the reports being cir
culated in regard to his big ditches, M. de
Lesseps appears undaunted. He is push
ing forward ins Panama canal with the
intention of opening it in 1888, Although
it is complained that the Suez canal is a
great cesspool, it continues to be crowded
with shipping, and is not likely to be
closed within the present generation at
least. The world will probably know in
the course of another year whether there
is any truth in the reports that it has al
ready been demonstrated that the Panama
canai will cost five times the estimated
amount, or whether these reports are cir
culated in the interest of rival companies.
It is hardly possible that means could be
had to carry on the work if these state
ments were true.
Tne notorious New York negro regi
ment, the Garnet Blues, was to have had
a graud excursion last week to Rocky
Point, R. I. The members of the organi
zation put on all their holiday apparel,
and marched down to the boat. They
were surprised to find no tickets, no
money, and no Treasurer to meet them.
The bag-holder of the regiment had be
come a convert to EDOism, and had ab
scondcd, taking with him some $1,200.
It is not known whether he went to
Canada or not, but as the regiment
marched back to its armory, it was unan
imously of the opinion that negroes can’t
stand temptation.
An exchange says it takes less money
to stock a farm with sheep than with cat
tle, horses or hogs; that sheep will come
nearer utilizing everything that grows on
the farm than any other animal; that
they require less attention, and that the
returns come ifi earlier and oftener, and
it enumerates many other advantages of
sheep raising. People might turn their
attention more to this subject, but it is a
great deal easier to stock a farm with
dogs than with sheep. .
A Strong Argnmrnt.
It seems to be plain that the govern
ment has no intention of bringing civil
suits against the alleged star route
thieves. All things considered, it is
probably better, as far as the Treasury is
concerned, that the suits shouldn't be
brought. If the government was unable
to get verdicts in criminal cases against
the delinquents, it is pretty fair to con
clude that it wouldn't succeed in getting
judgments in civil suits. To prepare the
cases, therefore, and to try them would be
only wasting money.
It is probable that Attorney General
Brewster has been sincere in this star
route business from the lieginning, but it
is certain that be lacks judgment, or
something that appears to be necessary
to success. Perhaps he is getting too old,
or that be gives too much attention to his
remarkable clothes to attend to the duties
of his responsible position as they ought
to be attended to. There never was a
more complete failure than the govern
ment prosecution of the star route case 6.
Mr. Brewster half-way promised to re
deem himself and restore the credit of his
department by making Dorsey, Brady
and the rest disgorge their alleged ill
gotten gains. He isn't doing anything
to fulfill this promise. One lawyer after
another has abandoned tbe cases because
Mr. Brewster proposed to tie them up so
that they would not nave the least chance
of success. The la6t one, Bradley, of
Kentucky, was so disgusted with Brewster
that he declined to receive the amount
that he had expended for personal ex
penses while in Washington.
There is no probability of punishing the
star route or any other rascals that have
influence or money with which to defend
themselves while Brewster is Attorney
General. Indeed, there is no prospect of
punishing such rascals while the Repub
lican party has control of the government.
What stronger arguments then, can there
be for turning the control of the govern
ment over to the Democrats than that
such a change Is necessary to secure the
punishment of the rascals who have been
robbing the government for years
Improving Darien Harbor.
The United States Engineers' Depart
ment has issued an order to have a report
prepared as to whether Darien harbor and
the Altamaha river, from Darien to its
mouth, is worth improving. Capt.
Thomas N. Bailey, who is in charge of the
work of improving harbors and rivers on
the South Atlantic coast, will make an
examination and submit a report
respecting the commerce of
Darien and its prospective de
mands as lar as he can secure the neces
sary data. Capt. Bailey will be glad to
receive any information that will assist
him in the preparation of his report.
Darien is one of the largest lumber mar
kets m the world. The Altamaha flows
through immense tracts of pine forests.
Along the banks of the river
are prosperous communities. With the
growth of Georgia, Brunswick and
Darien, and probably other places located
on deep w ater estuaries, as well as Savan
nah, must have a steady—in some in
stances a rapid—increase in wealth and
population. The business men and
officials of Darien will consult their own
interests by aiding Capt. Bailey in every
way that they can.
The candidates for the position of Chief
of the Labor Bureau are afraid that the
President does not mean to fill the po
sition. The President is probably trying
to find someone who hasn’t said anything
unkind about him before he maks the
appointment. Jarrett, who was appointed
and confirmed, failed to get his commis
sion because he talked too much.

Most of the money that is raised for these
campaign funds is expended in remote and
doubtful States. It is 6aid that such large
-urns must ne had or the whole vote of some
Mate cannot be brought out. Very good;
suppose for once that it is not brought out:
that no man is excited to his duty by artificial
stimulus; that the discussions of questions and
of candidates is carried on mainly through
the press, and that the number of voters who
appear at the ballot box is somewhat less than
at ordinary high-priced elections. Will it be
a verv great public misfortune, and will there
be any donbt that the decision which is finally
rendered is the real decision ot the people?

When Mr.Blaine was nominated two months
ago we pointed out how inevitably his candi
dacy would lower the tone of the canvass—
how it affronted those ideas and aspirations
on which so largely the Republican party has
been built up. At this juncture we must call
once again the solemn attention of the party
to the manner in which that prediction has
been fulfilled—Star route Elkins, after con
sultation with Blaine, going to West Virginia
to cement the alliance with the Green hacked
and lay in a local magazine of “soap;” politi
cal contributions in full blast; Kellyism and
Uuttlerism abetted and Jingoism asserted;
■lay ltubbell, Chairman of the-Michigan state
<'uiivention, and Jintmy O'Brien, on Wed

Louisville papers are protesting against
the loan of the Henry Clay statue to the Ex

why not mausoleums? A good many of his

Senator Frye, who is a mighty hunter as
well as an angler of high repute, asserts that
there is, notwithstanding popular notion, no
animal living—elephant, rhinoceros, cayman

pervious to the modern conical rifle bullet,
driven by a generous charge of powder.
OP the 111 sessions of Congress, 27 have
lasted over 200 days, the last one included.
The longest was the first session of the Thirty
first—3"2 davs, from Dec. 3, 1849, to

special sessions, nearly all short. The Fortieth
Congress held five sessions, and is the only
one that ever held more than three.
The statue to Margaret Ilaughcry, in New
Orleans, was not the first monument raised to

and herc6cape from them, which she effected
after killing the whole band of her captors.
Edward Detaille, who share* with De

view of the matter that induces our brethren

A DEPARTMENT of growing trees and plants

New Orleans. The design is to plant in the
Minnesota garden at the exposition speci

The Thoeasvillk (Ga.) Time* say* that
Capt. Varnedoe brought to town last Tuesday
a sample of cider made from LeConte pears.
It was tested by a number of gentlemen, all
of whom pronounced it a good article—very
similar to apple ob er. There is no doubt that
the LeConte will vield as much if not more
cider than the apple, and of a quality fully
equal. It is certainly a valuable fruit, as it
makes a nice market pear, a good fruit for
cooking, will take the place of the apple for
cider, and when evaporated has no superior.
The large wood engraving of London, re

The celebrated Egyptian explorer Petrie
has just discovered a colossal statue of Rame
ses 11., which when whole must have been the
largest stone statue ever known in the world,
its altitude from loot to crown having been 98
feet. It was a standing figure of the usual
type, wearing the crown of upper Egypt, and
with its pedestal had an extreme height of 115
feet. It was a monolith, and came from the
quarries of Syene, like the great obelisks and
pillars of Luxor, and. according to the most
careful computation, it must have weighed
about 700 tons It has been mutilated and de
spoiled beyond recovery, and its fragments
built into the propylon of a temple erected by
the sovereign of a iater dynasty.

Anew beauty is looming up on the horizon.
She is a Miss Kate Blake, a comparatively
obscure girl from the south of England, of
quite humble parentage, but of uncommonly
pretty features and a perfect complexion.
A correspondent writes: “I have
heard her compared to Mrs. Langtry
and the prediction made that she would be
her next great rival. All she will need will
lie the notice of the Prince of Wales. London
seems in sad need of something fresh in the
beauty line. Mrs. ( ornwalli* M’est, Mrs.
Wheeler. Mrs. Livingston Thompson, Lady
Garvagh, Lady Castlereagli, Gladys, Lady
Lonsdale and Lady Douougha ore are quite
inissees now, and as for Mies Chamberlain,
one neter so much as hears of her. Her
golden butterfly days are quite over in Eng
land, and, doubtless, her papa and mamma
are wishing they had never left their home
in Euclid avenue to throw away so much time
and money on such a bubble reputation they
seemed so prond of achieving for their
daughter. She is about as stale in England
as a girl can be, and I am very much mistaken
if she finds that her European noßiriety will
enhance her charms when she goes back to
America.”

State Politics.
The Democratic Executive Committee of
Stewart county met last Saturday and de
cided to call 'a convention to nominate a
candidate for the Legislature on th- first
Tuesday in September. The convention to
nominate a Senator for the Twelfth Sena
torial district is called for the same day.
Wevnesboro correspondence News, Aug. 19:
The Executive Committee have, since the
nomination of Judge T. J. McElmurray for
the Senate, ordered primary elections, to come
off on Sept. 10, to nominate candidates for the
Legislature. Who the candidates will be is
not known. They have incorporated in their
rules that each voter will be pledged to sup
port the nominees, and also support the nomi
nees of the Democratic party both State and
Federal. They also provide for challenging
all Indejendent Democrats and pledge them
before voting to support the nominees. It is
well understood that the conservative voters,
who have elected Representatives, aided by
the colored vote, for the last ten years, will
not stand up to the call, but will run, and no
doubt elect a separate ticket. J
MR. BLAINE’S LIBEL SUIT.
The Coin posit ion of the Court and Jury
Before which the Case will be Tried.
Mr. Blaine’s libel suit against tbe In
dianapolis Sentinel, says a Washington
special to the Philadelphia Times, is just
now the absorbing political topic here. It
is generally characterized as a clever
move of Mr. Blaine's, outside of any
moral considerations. Even the most
skeptical Democrats are inclined to con
cede Blaine’s shrewdness in hitting the
head of the scandal where it will do him
the most good. There is a great deal of
misinformation about the status of the
case of Mr. Blaine against Shoemaker,
The term of the United Stfttes Court
which begins in Indianapolis in Septem
ber may last as long as Oct. 18, and tbe
case is to be pushed to immediate trial.
The fact that Judge Woods occupies the
bench will facilitate this. Woods is from
the northern part of Indiana, is an able
lawyer, sound jurist, and, what is of
most importance in this case, a bitter Re
publican partisan.
The process of selecting a jury for such
cases has been greatly modified,’however,
within the last few years. The names of
the jurymen which are to try Blaine vs.
Shoemaker are now in the box. There are
two Jury Commissioners appointed by the
Court, one from each of the two leading
political parties. They select the names
and put them in the jury box. Three
hundred names are now in the jury-box
for the coming September term. This is a
general statute and has an interest now
only from the fact that the mode of trial
in such cases was a suggestion of Gov.
Hendricks and was introduced in the Sen
ate bv Joseph E. McDonald. It was
passed in the session of 1879-80.
Judge Woods is a political lawyer him
self and got his place through services to
his party and the friendship of Judge
Gresham’ In return, Woods was at Chi
cago in June in Gresham's interest as
against Harrison for the Presidency.
Harrison had recommended Judge Hines
for the Judgeship, but Gresham beat him
with Woods. The United States Marshal
is Gen. R. S. Foster, and tnis appoint
ment fell to Senator Harrison. The fact
may be very convenient to Mr. Blaine, as
Harrison is now his attorney. Mr. Fos
ter was appointed to succeed Col. Dud
ley, now Commissioner of Pensions. The
United States Marshal has nothing to do
with the jury, unless the panel of 300 is
exhausted. His duties are merely minis
terial.
The impression here is that much po
litical capital is to be made out of the In
dianapolis trial and that Blaine has Har
rison and Harrison has the court. Col.
Shoemaker enjoyed the sensation of a li
bel suit in thecampaign of 1880, Col. Dud
ley, then United States Marshal, being
the complainant. The editor had charged
that Dudley had issued a certain political
circular to’deputies to control the elec
tion. The suit never came to trial, as the
Sentinel published a retraction and paid
the cost of the case and the complain
ant’s attorney fees.
BLAINE AND BUTLER.
Stories from tbe Records of Congregg
Which Now Seem Very Funny.
On March 16,1871, Benj. F. Butler, then
a Republican member of the United States
House of Representatives, says a Wash
ington special to the Philadelphia Times,
reproached Jas. G. Blaine, then Speaker,
with being a bolter from a resolution of
the caucus of the Republican party in the
House, and charged him with working
with the Democrats in the House to
secure the defeat of a measure of his own
party.
When Butler’s colleague, Mr. Dawes,
now Senator, asked him what was “better
than to acquiesce with the will of the
majority,” Butler answered, “Always to
acquiesce with the Republican majority
and never with the Democratic majority.
That is the way I understand acquies
ence.”
He boldly charged that Blaine had,
through one of his colleagues( Mr. Peters,
of Maine), sprung a resolution of his own
upon the House by what Butler called "a
legislative trick,” which he claimed de
feated the will of the Republican major
ity by the aid of Democratic votes. He
said he “saw the Speaker go over there
on the Democratic side of the House, get
ting Democrats to agree to support his
resolution.” He said further: “1 saw the
Speaker colloquying with the Democrats
and I knew very well what was to come,
and I saw his resolution substituted for the
bill of the majority of the Republican
Ttarty, forced through by influence on the
floor and by the Speaker’s gavel at his
desk by aid of Democratic votes. 1 see
gentlemen .here, both lrom the North and
the South, who have told me that they were
put in a very delicate position by the ac
tion of the Speaker in league with the
opposition.”
Here’s richness for you; from % Butler,
too, whom the newspapers are now
threatening to call “Old Ben Bolt.”
He twice said of Blaine in that debate
(Blaine having gone upon the floor, after
putting Mr. Wheeler in the chair as
Speaker pro tempore, to bandy words with
Butler):
“For ways that arc dark
And tricks that arc vain,
I will name Speaker
And that I dare maintain.”
He also said, after Blaine had grown
angry and called him “insolent,” what
goes to show of how little avail it is lor
anyone to abuse him (Butler), since he
rather enjoys it.
He thus addressed the House at that
time, having twitted Mr. Blaine with
Presidential aspirations more than once:
“But all this abuse of me, this getting
exceedingly wrathy by the Speaker
against me, does not harm anyone and
will frighten nobody. The calling of hard
names will do no harm to me here or in
the country. If 1 could have been killed
by being called hard names I should have
died long ago. [Laughter.] 1 have with
stood the rough side of a rougher tongue
than that just wagged at me. I have
seen abuse with more ingenuity, but not
more malignity, launched at ine. And I
have survived and shall survive long after
the Speaker has tilled the Presidential
chair—very long.”
RESISTING TEMPTATION.
Too Rich for “Uncle Dick Oglesby’s”
Life Fluid,
Richard J. Oglesby, ex-Governor and
ex-Senator of Illinois, says the New York
Tribune , is known all over the West as
one of the unlettered, self-made, self-edu
cated, rough and ready orators of Ameri
ca. In his early days he was a California
gold miner and knows what it is to have
a bonanza, though he never was very rich
himself. He had been down at Deal Beach
several days for his health. He came to
New Y'ork the other day and, while pass
ing Drlmonico’s Fifth avenue place, with
a New Y'ork friend, he happened to re
mark that he had never been inside of one
of those famous restaurants. He was
promptly invited to lunch there and ac
cepted the invitation, but when the lad at
the cigar 6tand passed over a box of Ha
vanas, from which to select, he said:
“How much are these?”
“Twenty-five cents,” said the boy.
“Holy smoke!” ejaculated the Gover
nor, “put ’em back, quick.”
“But, Governor, this is my treat,” put
in his friend.
“Daresn’t do it! Daresn’t do it! Put
’em back!”
“Y’es, but Governor—”
“1 tell you I daresn’t do lt Wtki- man,
if they should ever find
that I smoked a twenty-five c® igar in
New Y'ork,d they’ turn me out
and it would ruin me,
Daresn’t do it! Put’em back! Ten-cent
ers plenty good enough lor me in New
York, and five-centers at home.”
And with this settlament of the question
the Governor selected 6uch a cigar as he
wanted and walked away.-
Living Fifty-Four Days on a Milk Diet.
Louis Herbst, of Camden, says a Phila
delphia special of Aug. 15, to-day com
pleted the fifty-fourth day of remarkable
diet, nothing but skim-milk having passed
his lips during that period. He began his
peculiar diet seven weeks ago, under the
advice of Dr. Wood, of this city, who is
treating him for kidney affection. When
he began, his weight" was 196 pounds,
since which time he has lost 10 pounds.
Mr. Herbst declares that he can live on
this diet for a year, and says he never felt
better in his life than at present. Nine years
ago Mr. Herbst had a complaint simitar
to his present one, and although he had
been a high liver he broke off the use of
all luxuries, and lor thirty months he lived
on stale bread and black tea with neither
milk nor sugar in it. When he com
menced this diet he weighed 226 pounds.
At the end of 30 months his weight was
140 pounds, he having lost 86 pounds with
out any inconvenience whatever.
He Appreciated Poetry.
New York Sun.
“Is there anybody about this establish
ment who loves poetry ?” he said as he
opened the door, and glared around the
editorial room with a doubtful look.
“Certainly there is,” said the editor;
“have you got some there?”
“Y'es, four poems, all of ’em on spring.”
“Good! That’s just what we want.
John, sprinkle a little mint sauce on these
and take ’em down stairs.”
“What for?” demanded the poet.
“For the goat. He is the only one about
the establishment who loves poetry. But
he won’t eat spring poetry without mint
sauce.”

A FLOURISHING RESORT.
A Few Points About New Holland
Springs.
Correspondence of the Morning -Vts.
New Holland Springs, Aug. IT.—I
came here yesterday to spend to-day and
learn what is going on in this section of
Georgia. While the train halted for a
moment or two at Norcross, to put off a
passenger who had left Atlanta for a
day’s recreation, a friend gave me
a press-ing invitation to get off and
attend a “foot washing," which was
to come off in the vicinity in the
morning. Although I had never attended
one of these religious gatherings, and felt
anxious to do so, I thanked him for his
invitation and continued my journey.
When I arrived here I found all bands
preparing for a grand Mother Hubbard
ball to come off that night. After sup
per the ball room was thrown
open and in came forty
couples ready for the music.
Prof. Card’s band without delay opened
the ball. The affair was voted a grand
success in everv particular. At 10 masks
and Mother Hubbards were thrown aside,
and not until 12 did dancing cease. New
Holland to-day is flooded with guests, and
I am informed that such has been its con
dition for two .months. Three hundred
people dined here to-day, and the average
at meals during the week is 250. The at
tendance this year has been the most
fashionable that has gathered here in
years. The register shows that the guests
are not entirely from Georgia, many being
from various parts of Virginia, South
Carolina. North Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama and Louisiana.
Among the distinguished guests here to
day are Judge Willie, of Texas; Dr. Wil
lis F. Westmoreland and T. J. Glenn, of
Atlanta; Judge Hammond, Rev. M. B.
Wharton, Trot'. A. J. Battle, of Mercer
University; Frank G. Foster and family,
of Augusta: Solicitor General T. W.
Grimes and Henry K. Goetchius, of Co
lumbus; J. C. McCan, of Augusta; George
S. Obear, of Macon; Mrs. R. M. Berrien,
of Milner; W. A. Wilkins and Miss Bes
sie Godby, ot Waynesboro; Mrs.
Yuger, of Savannah; James A. Thomas,
of Cuthbert, and scores of others whose
names now escape me. There is quite a
gathering of very charming and beautilul
young ladies here. Among them are Miss
Jennie Dale, Miss Belle Wells, Miss Mary
Gray bill, of Savannah; Miss Emma
Stewart. Miss Maggie McAvov, Miss
Helen Obear, Miss Fannie Mangham, of
Macon; Miss AVillie Conyers, of Coving
ton; Miss Young, ot Savannah; Miss
Mary P. Willie, Miss Corinne AVillie, of
Texas; Miss Annie and Miss Bell
Richards, of Mobile: Miss Daisy Huff, of
Macon; Miss Clifford Putnam, and a
dozen others whose names I have not
learned in my short stay. Sunday at New
Holland is like Sunday at any other sum
mer resort. The name does not indicate
as much here as it does in a city. To
night, however, anew departure is being
celebrated, this being the holding of
religious services by Rev. Al. B. Wharton.
Gen. James Longstreet lives within a
mile of New Holland at his country resi
dence, where he is surrounded by all the
comforts that a man of his age and repu
tation is entitled to. He seems perfectly
happy and contented. He owns the
"Piedmont," the handsomest piece of
hotel property in all North Georgia, cost
ing when completed nearly $25,000.
AVhen the General left the Mar
shal’s office, the Piedmont was
closed. He at • once threw
open the doors, and has since been
running the enterprise in his own name.
I met a friend of his in Atlanta a day or
two ago who had an order from Gen.
Longstreet for twenty fifty gallon wine
casks. The General, it seems, has an
immense crop of grapes this year, and
calculates on making 1,000 gallons of
wine. Recently he has purchased a
large wine press, and now proposes to
use his surplus grapes in that way.
CLEVELAND’S PROSPECTS.
A Review of the Political Field by a
Well-Informed Democrat.
Xeie York Times.
Albany, Aug. 16.—Democratic politi
cians are greatly amused by the stories
printed in the Blaine organs of the with
drawal, first of ex-Gov. Hendricks, and
then of Gov. Cleveland, and of Air. Til
den’s indifference to the success of the
Democratic ticket. It is admitted that on
the surface the political situation seems
decidedly favorable to the Republicans.
They ha’ve thus far had the field -mtire'y
to themsehes, and, whi'e making
great exertions to stir up dissen
sions in the Democratic ranks, have
systematically belittled the disaffection
and the extent of the bolt on the Republi
can side. From the representations made
in the Republican press, it would appear
that the Irishmen and workingmen had
risen en masse against Cleveland, and
had determined to support either Blaine
or bis running mate, Butler. The Inde
pendent movement, it is also said, is
rapidly petering out, while the talk of
disaffection among the German Republi
cans is declared to be nonsense.
The tone of the Democrr tic organs lends
some color to the statement that the
party leaders are disheartened at the out
look, yet those In the inner circles, who
enjoy the best facilities for learning the
true condition of affairs, profess to be well
satisfied with the situation. They would,
of course, have been better pleased if the
nomination of Gov. Cleveland bad been
received with less outspoken expressions
of hostilities from Democratic sources,
yet they prefer to have the worst come out
at the start. “Gov. Cleveland," said a
friend of his who is well posted on the
work of the campaign, "has seen the
darkest part of his canvass. His pros
pects will continue to grow steadily
brighter up to election day. November,
you must remember, is a long way off.
Four years ago Gen. Hancock led in the
race until after Gen. Garfield’s famous
conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
with the sulking stalwarts, who.then took
a hand in the tight. It was not until
the result of the October election
was known that Republican victory was
assured. This year the position of the
candidates is changed. Blaine is ahead
at the beginning, but I confidently expect
to see Cleveland the winner in the end.
New York is not the pivotal State.
Ohio and West Virginia are the points
to be watched. If either party car
ries both of them in October it will
be victorious in November. The stren
uous efforts already made by Elkins to
capture AVest Virginia prove that the
Republican managers recognize the im
portance of the October States. Demo
crats need not fear, however, for AVest
Virginia. The party in that State is
aroused by the Republican manoeuvres,
and will poll the largest vote ever cast.
West Virginia is safely in the Democratic
column. Reports from Ohio indicate that
we are likely to be successful there too.
“Disaffection among the Germans on
account of Mr. Blaine’s prohibition views
will cost the Republicans thousands of
votes. It is so all through the AVestern
States where the German element is
large. This movement is scarcely appre
ciated in the East. It is much more
formidable than the Irish revo't, and will
give the Republicans more trouble than
the Irish will the Democrats. Prohibi
tion wull cut the Republicans in two
ways—by St. John securing Prohibition
ist Votes and anti-Probibition Germans
going for Cleveland. This issue wull give
the Democrats a chance in AViseonsin,
lowa, Illinois and Kansas, as well as in
Ohio. As this element in the con
test becomes better understood less
will be heard about the Irish
and workingmen’s movement in
the East. Those classes are being visited
individually by Democratic workers, who
explain Gov. Cleveland’s true position
toward the laboring men, and prove that
Air. Blaine is no greater friend of the
Irish than his opponent. This quiet work
is having its effect. Reports received
from all parts ot the State indicate that
the Blaine feeling among them is dwind
ling aw ay. Those who ridicule the Inde
pendent bolt would be surprised if they
knew of the activity of the Independent
Executive Committee and the number in
terested in the movement. I understand
that they have 25,000 names on their rolls
in New York.
“Butler’s candidacy,” continued the
speaker, “has not excited the stir that he
expected. His purpose to aid Blaine was
too transparent. He may make a little
.trouble in New York and Alassachusetts,
*but he will figure in the circus only as the
clown. The campaign is not active yet.
As soon as Gov. Cleveland’s letter ap
pears things will warm up, and a hot
fight may be looked for from Sept. 1 until
November.”
A Singular Coincidence.
Xew York Sun.
Airs. De Browne—“l have seen several
of your paintings Air. Pallette, and I ad
mire them immensely.”
Air. Pallette (amateur artist) —“Aw,
thanks, my dear madame, thanks; you’re
very kind, I’m sure.”
Airs. De Browne—“l think that your
style is very similar to that of the French
artist Aleissonier, particularly so as re
gards color and prospective.”
Mr. Pallette—“Do you think so? Aw, it
is not infrequent in the profession for one
artist to unconsciously follow the style of
another artist, y’ know; but still it seems
rawther strange. I am quite sure that
Aleissonier has never seen any of my
work.”
Shakespeare Says Truly:
"That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
But the reverse is equally true, and the
simple fact that so many wretched per
fumes are designated Florida AVater does
not impart to them any of the sweet
fragrance of the genuine Alurray & Lan
man Florida AVater. Beware of these
counterfeits and make sure of obtaining
only the right article, which has won for
itself the foremost position as a toilet
requisite.
