“WHY SHOULDN'T I?”
Mv cnnarr sings the whole Jay long,
* behind 'his gilded bars.
Shut in from all that birds enjoy
Under the sun and stars;
The freedom, grace and action tine
Of wild birds he foregoes,
But spite of that with happiness
His little heart o’erflows.
-The world is wide.
And birds outside
In happy cheer always abide—
Why shouldn't If"
I, too. must dwell behind the bars
Of toil and sacrifice;
From every heart and weary brain
My prayers or songs arise:
But all around, sad hearts abound
And troubles worse than mine.
If audit of comfort I can bring
To them, shall I repine?
God's world is wide;
If 1 can hide
The crowding tears and sing beside—
Why shouldn't I?
—Every Other Saturday.
THE PILGRIM AND THE FLOWER.
O simpie flower, springing where
The lonely meadows sleep in green,
You ope voiir tinted petals fair,
\ud breathe an incense o’er the scene.
You cheer my eye with smile so sweet
I pause to rest niy pilgrim feet.
A glittering star shone out in spring—
-1 ou rose to dream beneath its ray,
A bird sang by on purple wing —
Your bud uncurled to hear its lay.
1 came from bournes 1 know not where—
I only know my I-ord is there.
THE NATIONAL. CAPITAL..
The Republicans Have no Hopes of
Ohio and Indiana—Jay Gould Cntein
platiug a Palace In Washington — ll a
- Bargaining with Butler.
of the Morning Metes.
Washington, Aug. 30.—The Republi
cans of Ohio and Indiana—the intelligent
leaders, i mean—have no great hopes of
am ing either State this fall. The Ohio
men are begging the campaign managers
here and in New York for money, which
the campaign managers haven’t got to
give: for the business men can’t be
•cared or teased into giving, and
the “squeezing” committee finds the
poor clerks in the departments
here so filled with what old Humbug
Clapp, the Chairman, calls “that d—d
civil service reform idea" that they have
no room for that patriotism which shows
itself in liberal -voluntary contributions”
when the party hat is passed. I have
more or less intimate relations growing
out of former close association with the
more respectable Ohio Republican lead
ers, and I have no hesitation in saying
that they now believe that unless some
great change occurs in the condition of
affairs in their State that Newman, Dem
ocratic candidate for Secretary of State,
who leads the Democratic ticket, and all
the other candidates, will defeat Gen.
Jim Robinson, the Republican candidate,
and his associates in October. Robinson
loses Republican votes right and left. In
the tisrt place he gets “boozy” occasion
ally, and is almost always -happy;” so
that he cannot expect to" keep many of
the votes that St. John and Daniel are
counting for among the Republicans.
Then Robinson honestly, but to his disad
vantage. angered the Blaine and the Gar
field p< • .pie in Uhlo by steadfastly refus
ing 1 1 desert Sherman at Chicago. This
lost him a certain proportion of votes.
Tuen be is a railway builder and owner,
a regular old-fashioned monopolist, and
that does not commend him to the aver
age hard-fisted granger, or to the pale
faced toiler in the shops or
the mines. His [>ersonal disappointment
at not being renominated for Congress has
soured him and his struggle to get the re
nomiuation and his growling because he
didn't get it have alike alienated friends.
On the other hand, Newman commends
himself to all Democrats and to all of the
dissatisfied Republicans, except the Pro
hibitionists, who will, of course, vote for
“Siniin” and self-” Denial.” Now the loss
of Ohio in October would mem to the Re
publicans in that State defeat in Novem
ber. Hence the passionate appeals for
money which meet with no response. In
diana is no longer an October State, but
it is interesting to know that it is in very
much the same condition asOhio. Calkins,
tiie Republican candidate for Governor, is
very popular in his way, but not more so
than bis Democratic opponent, and he is
no stronger with the Prohibitionists
than Robinson is in Ohio. The anxiety
of the Iloosier Republicans is shown not
only by tbeir incessant requests for money,
but by the constant appeals they make to
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley to come
out and help them, Dudley is the finest
political organizer in the Republican par
ty of Indiana. It was he who carried In
diana in IS-'O, assisted by some money
u,! “ by the National Committee,
well informed ludiana Republican
laughed when they learned from the Dor
sey dinner in N'on- Vnrk that Stepnen IV .
Dorsey had carried Indiana" for Garfield.
The fact was, as they knew, that Dorsey
had been about 39 useful in that fight as
though he had been locked in the ice at
Lady Franklin Bay. Dudley, adopting the
methods of John W. Foster, uow our
Minister at Madrid, then our Minister to
Russia, who bad in 1872 effected such an
organization in Indiana as had never been
seen in any Western State, had wrought
the party up to the perfection of organ
ized effort. There was no hurrah about
it. A loud-mouthed, boastful “worker”
was relieved as soon as he was known,
and his place supplied with quiet, careful,
genuine workers, who could answer for
the voters in their precincts by name.
Dudley knew to a man exactly how every
voter i"n the State would vote.' This seems
incredible. But it is true, nevertheless.
He knew, too, what arguments were nec
essary to convince the doubters or to con
vert even his opponents. When he was
all ready he asked for $50,000 just a short
time before the election. It was carried
to Cleveland, 0., by Whitelaw Reid and
Me-too Piatt, together with $50,000 which
had been asked for b\ the Ohio managers.
Platt carried Dudlej’s $50,000 across the
line into ludiana, and there Dudley,
through his own agents, put it where it
would do the most good. Dorsey never
saw a dollar of it. Dorsey did go out to
Indianapolis, it is true, aiiddid take some
money—about $15,000, I believe—with
him. But it was all needed to satisfy a
Cincinnati newspaper’s demands, and it
finally reached the capacious pockets of
its proprietors. Not a dollar of it was
spent in Indiana. The $50,000 that Platt
brought, a smaller sum that Thomas J.
Brady brought, and the local contribu
tions were all that the State Commit
tee had to work with. Yet Dorsey
swelled around his hotel in his own gross
style, as though he had done all the work
that made the Republican victory possi
ble. Asa matter of fact, all that he did
was to eat and drink and drink and eat,
and swear and boast and boast and swear
and smoke expensive cigars. Dudley did
the work, and now the Indiana Republi
cans, who know all this so well, are be
seeching Dudley, to whom they refused
the nomination for Governor, to"come out
and do the work all over again in the in
terest of the man who beat him in con
vention. Dudley would gladly go just to
show them, with his eye on a prospective
Senatorship or Cabinet position, that they
cannot get on without him. But
he will only go upon one condi
tion, and that is, that he shall have
absolute control of the campaign—abso
lute. John C. New, who is fool enough to
think himself Dudley’s equal as a cam
paign manager, must give up his position
as Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee and come down into the ranks with
an honest purpose to follow where Dudley
leads. This is iust what the stiff-necked
New will nc.t uo. Consequently Dudley
will not go to Indiana. Accordingly the
Republicans will be routed up hill and
down dale, foot, horse and dragoons.
JAY GOt'U) TO BILD A PALACE IN
WASHINGTON.
I am sorry to learn that Mr. Jay Gould,
having exhausted the other cities of the
United States, proposes to buy a lot on
one of our handsome avenues and to build
thereon a palace in which to spend his
winters. I am not somy because I con
sider Mr. Jay Gould an undesirable citi
zen personally. I know that he is not.
I know that in his own home he is one of
the simplest, kindliest and most delight
ful of men. He has spared no pains to
cultivate his intellectual powers. They
have been fed with the best that can be
found in English, Latin and Greek
literature, for" he knows little of
any other. I know that his opinions
in regard to the fine arts are sound and
sensible, and that he would be a powerful
factor in the development of the great
latent artistic possibilities of Washington.
1 know, too, that his family is sensible and
agreeable; that his children are well bred
and well educated. Mr. Gould and Presi
dent Arthur are the only two prominent
men w ho, to my knowledge, take such a
personal interest in the education of their
little daughters as to devote a portion of
each evening to a review of the “lessons”
which the little girls are to recite on the
next day. I know that Mr. Gould's
household has always been 60 man
aged so that vulgar ostentation and purse
proud display should never creep in—and
that the best that there is in every mem-
ber of the family should be carefully de
veloped and improved- In other words,
it is a household that furnishes an exam
ple which might be followed with profit
by hundreds of adventurers who are far
more pretentious than Mr. Gould. Its in
fluence here would be good rather than
evil. But I am opposed to converting
Washington into a winter Saratoga—a re
sort for rich men. Gould is well enough;
but if he comes, Vanderbilt would carry
out his oft-expressed purpose and come,
too. Others would follow, and soon we
would be drawn along in the strong current
created by their efforts to excel each other
in costly living. Rich men who will come
here and settle down -to live, falling in
with the simple, sensible ways of the
town, than which none could be more
delightful, should be welcomed. But rich
men who would come simply to splurge
through the season, vieing with one an
other in meretricious vulgar di9plav,
would lie extremely undesirable addi
tions. Washington is different from al
most every other cifl? in the country in
that the mere possession of money does
not change a man into a social god. 1
want to see it differ as long as possible.
When its -local color” is a mixture ol
goiden. silvery and greenery gallery tints
and its local tone a hard metallic jingle, I
shall want to live somewhere else.
MAHOXE TRYING TO MAKE A BARGAIN
WITH BUTLER.
Mahone is trying to arrange a dicker
with Butler which will enable him to come
to the front in the People’s party if Butler
should be able to work it up between now j
and 1883. Mahone has always had a •
hankering for the Vice Presidency. He ,
reasons that the People’s party may be
come an all-conquering between
now aud 18*s, and that its ticket may i
then be Butler and Mahone. May ,
not the name of his second son, j
Butler Mahone, one of the few dude 9 I
of Washington,be dimly prophetic of such
a consummation. At all events it is al
ways well to have at least two strings to
one’s bow, and none knows this better
than the gray fox of Petersburg. Every
body understands, of course, that be is
absolute master of the men on the so
called Republican electoral ticket in Vir
ginia, and that if he says so they will, if
elected, vote for Butler and whatever the
other fellow’s name is. Everybody un
derstands, too. that Mahone would not
hesitate to sell these electoral votes if
he got his price for them.
It is perhaps because these things are
so well known that I learn from New
York that the Republican National Com
mittee proposes to change the Republican
electoral ticket in Virginia so as to se
cure electors who, if elected, will vote for
Blaine in spite of hi 9 ancient enemy, Ma
hone. But then I have no idea that the
Republican ticket will be elected in Vir
ginia this year.
POINTS ABOUT SURGEON BLACK.
Surgeon Black, who was drowned on
the Tallapoosa last week, was a thorough
ly good fellow. Asa general rule the
medical men in both services are not only
good doctors but good fellows, and he was
one of the best of his class. He had a
merry disposition and a winning manner
that made him lots of triends, and I know
no one recently deceased in either service
that will t? more generally or sincerely
mourned. For the greater portion of his
life, like millions of us, he was simply
“an everyday young man,” doing his duty
and enjoying his pleasure in quiet ob
scurity. But you will remember that
a little over a year ago he became
suddenly iatnous in connection with
the Savannah shrimp salad episode in the
President's Florida trip. It was Dr.
Black who confirmed the shrewd inform
ers of the newspaper, correspondents
w ho haunted the party, despite the
attempts of the astute Chandler to
mislead them, and it was Dr. Black
also on his return to Washington,
whither the President and the correspon
dents had preceded him, who in spite of
repeated official aud semi-official denials,
sustained the statements of the corres
pondents. Ilis inability to do a little offi
cial lying interfered with his official pros
pects somewhat, but 1 know that it made
his death hour happy.
SETTING A PARAGRAPHKR RIGHT.
I see a nominal paragraph floating
iiround in the newspapers to the effect
that whether Blaine or Cleveland he
elected the wife ol the Vice President will
be the leader of Washington society. No
such thing. lam told by good authority
that Gov. Cleveland’s sisters are quite
competent to preside over the White
House without assistance, and I know
that Mrs. Blaine is perfectly able to di
rect the social fortunes of an’administra
tion. lam afraid the direction she select
ed would be a bad one, though, for she
is a proud, vain and somewhat vulgar
woman. 1 thought it rather suggestive
•hat an admirer of her husband in sendirfg
her bis congratulations oR-o-tiy iftr the
;uinouiifi*inoni JJiaine 8 noniiimtion
should have enclosed a copy of the latest
work on Washington etiquette.
ALL ABOUT TWO YOUNG MILLIONAIRES.
Here is the latest club story lrom New
York by special messenger to your cor
respondent. Two young millionaires
-in passe" are still the object of
their mother's watchful care. She never
allows them both out of her sight at the
same moment. Both belong to the same
club, aud both are fond of the good things
on the club’s buffet. Eeery evening num
ber one goes down to the club, fills up,
and com 8 back iust a point or two this
side of the sober limit. Then he dozes off
under the maternal eye, while number
two slips down to the club, loads up, and
returns. So it goes night after night.
Iliday, their elderly next door neighbor,
said to one ot them: “Your mighty queer
fellows. Just like two buckets in a well.
When one ot you’s going down the other's
always coming up.” “Yes,” laughed
the naughty young man. “and the one
coming up is always full.”
Brown-Floyo.
A Hotel in the Sea.
A Beyrout, Syria, correspondent of the
New Orleans Times-JJemocrat says: The
situation of the hotel where I am stopping
is especially charming. It is built over tie
water, so that the sea actually passes
Tinder the rooms. There is a loDg, glass
inclosed balcony looking seaward, from
which one never tires of surveying the
blue Mediterranean beyond and below.
There is always variety in the movements
of the sea. Now its swash is so gentle
and soothing that it is the most effective
ol lullabies when one wishes to fall asleep.
Again, the sea is in an uproar, and the
spray leaps up to the very windows. The
illusion that we are actually at sea is
quite hard to shake off at limes. The fish
have learned to watch for the refuse that
is committed to the sea from the hotel
galleries, and are consequently very tame.
Poorly-looking fellows a foot or two long
come right under the balcony and stare
up impertinently at us. The temptation
is very strong to make them atone for
their temerity, and not a few have been
hauled up with rod and line to the broad
veranda. One day somebody got up more
enthusiasm than usual, and cast a torpedo
from the balcony into a school of inquisi
tive marine beauties. A boy sprang in
after the explosion and brought three fat
fellows to the surface. Many others were
stunned, but not sufficiently to keep them
from evading the swimmer. Nets are
also cast in front of the hotel, and many
bushels of fish meat captured
The shore along here is very rocky, like
that at Haifa, Jaffa, and even along the
margin of Galilee. After each storm
masses ol salt are formed in the depres
sions in these rocks.
Dudley's Rumored Resignation.
The rumored resignation of Commis
sioner Dudley, says a Washington special
1 of Aug. 24 to the Philadelphia Times,
continued a subject for gossip to-day.
Inquiry of several officials of the Pension
Bureau developed that it was generally
believed, among those who ought to be best
informed, that Col. Dudley would soon go
out. It is reported further that the rela
tions between Commissioner Dudley and
Secretary Teller have not been entirely
cordial for some time and that Teller
would feel relieved if the rumor of resigna
tion were verified. It is said that Mr.
Teller has censured Dudley for the free
dom with which the latter granted pen
sions, arguing that greater care should be
exercised in giving away the public
money to prevent fraud, and that Col.
Dudley was not pleased with the inter
ference. However this may be, it is a
prevailing impression in the Interior
Department that there is more in the
story of the resignation than was ad
mitted by the Commissioner.

A GEM FOUNDIN'AN ARBOR
TIFFANY’S COURTSHIP A RO
MAXCE IN REAL LIFE.
Tears and Estrangement Wiped Away
with Smiles and Nuptial Knots—Lang
try’g Husband a Much Abased Briton
—Baldwin’s Bride Cutting an Odd
Caper—Women Who Play Shuttle Cock
with Golden Eagle.
Correspondence of the Morning Metes.
New York, Aug. 29.—Tiffany’s, on
Union Square, is one of the best known
houses in the United States. The man
who is at the head of the firm, Charles
Tiffany, carries 73 years on bis shoulders.
The wife he won in an arbor is still at his
side and the result of their union is four
children. They make a pretty picture
when nestled together in the family libra
ry at 255 Madison avenue. The romance
which ended in all this happiness could
be woven into an interesting little novel.
Mr. Tiflany wa9 born at Killingly, Con
necticut, iu 1811. His father "was a
wealthy and prominent cotton manufac
turer. He was connected in business
with Judge Young. These two gentle
men had been friends from childhood.
They went to school and college together.
When they married, which they did
early in life, they purchased adjoining
houses. They agreed that the first born
of their children should marry each other
and thus perpetuate the friendship. A
year after Charles was born a daughter
was ushered into Judge Young’s house
hold. The baby girl was christened May,
and as the children grew up together they
became fast friends. They attended the
same village school, and in the winter
time Charles would carry his little play
mate to school on a sled. Everybody loved
young Tiffany; he was the pride of the
village. When May was about 18 vears
old her manner changed somewhat to
wards Charlie. She became coy and dis
tant. This puzzled the noble-hearted
young fellow, for he loved her dearly.
Finally he went traveling, and did not re
turn to his native city for two years. The
second visit after his return was lo the
home of his sweetheart.
Their conversation during his call was
conventional in the extreme, and only
lasted about half an hour. W hen he left
the house he had reached the resolve to
make another extended journey. He bai
walked a long distance, when he remem
bered he had forgotten his cane at'the
house of his sweetheart. Glad of any ex
cuse for seeing her again, he returu'-d.
He entered the gate and walked up the
gravelled walk to the house. The servant
who opened the door said that M iss May
was in the summer arbor in the rear of
the house. He made up his mind to go
and bid her good-bye forever.. As he ap
proached the sun mer house he heard
someone sobbing, p id approaching gent
ly, he looked in aud saw his love on her
knees crying over his own picture. Hasti
ly entering the arbor, he picked her up in
his arms, when mutual explanations were
made. She thought that he did not care
for her, andvice versa. They were mar
ried after a short courtship, to the great
delight of the old folks.
MR. TIFFANY’S CAREER IN THE MER
CANTILE WORLD
also furnishes an interesting little chap
ter. He came to this city in 1836. He
went into partnership with his brother-in
law, J. B. Young, under the title of Tif
fany <fc Cos. They started in business at
Broadway and Warren street. They dealt
in Chinese and East India goods. By de
grees they added European knick knacks
to their stock. Their bu. ness so in
creased that in 1845 they were compelled
to remove to more commodious quarters.
They established themselves at Chambers
street and Broadway. There they began,
the manufacture of jewelry and" silver
ware. In 1855 their business had assumed
such proportions that they were compelled
to move again. This time they settled at
No. 550 Broadway. Later on they also
occupied the adjoining building, where
they still are. in 1870 they leased the
plot of ground ou which was standing tbe
Church of the Puritans. They tore this
down and .reeled the fire-proof building
built of stone, iron and brick, at Fifteenth
street and Union Square. It cost $750,000
and is one of the handsomest business
houses iu the city. To stow how much
the business of the firm has increased it
will only be necessary to compare the
number of people they now employ with
the number employed"when they started.
They opened business with eighteen and
now employ over nine hundrta.
THE MALE LANGTRY.
The Gebhard-Langtry scandal will not
down since the rumor that the Lily had
gone to England to obtain a divorce from
her husband with the object of marrying
FicddH-. The pair have been on the
tongues ol' a certain class of people more
than ever. Mr. Langtry, as a general
rule, has been looked upon as a
most miserable sort of a chap.
But stories which are just beginning •
be wafted across the Atlantic put him iu
a much better light. It is now said that
Mr. Langtry ha's long been anxious to
have his wife obtain a divorce. When
Mrs. Langtry’s beauty first became
known her husband, who was passionately
devoted to her, had an income of SIO,OOO
a year. The flattery of the tilted snobs
who surrounded her quite turned her
head and she to fly beyond her hus
band’s means. He was weak enough in
his affections for her to let her have her
own way, with the result that she practi
cally ruined him. But out of the wreck
of his forlune he has saved enough to get
along upon in comfort, and the story that
she sends him sls a week to live on is
only another of the lies that are spread
about to beget sympathy for the precious
creature and contempt for her husband.
A long time ago Mr. Langtry became con
vinced that bis wife was not behaving
in a manner exactly wifely,
and since then they " have not
been together. But all this time, while
his name has been on every tongue, while
all sorts of insinuations have been made,
even under the exasperation of the mis
erable Uebhard business, he has remained
silent and reserved, too proud to make a
sign, too lull of chivalry to strike at the
woman he once called wife, and too manly
to call attention to the ruin she has
wrought in his fortunes. He would have
been glad if she had sought to be clear of
him before now, though he would take no
step toward that end on his own account.
Freedom from a woman whose vanity,
whose love of adulation, and whose utter
disregard for Anything but the gratifica
tion of her petty whims has estranged
her from him in spirit would now be a
very welcome thing. Mr. Langtry is au
amiable but rather thick-headed Briton,
with a good deal of strength of charac
ter, very much spirit and a
great amount ol personal pride. So far
as Mr. Gebhard is concerned, I fancy the
divorce proceedings will be somewhat
likely to cool his ardor. To be associated
with Mrs. Langtry in notoriety is one
thing; to marry her quite another.
“LUCKY” BALDWIN’S LITTLE BRIDE.
Mrs. “Lucky” Baldwin is the latest
sensation at the hotel where she is stop
ping. She is only 4 feet 6 inches in
height, but well formed and rather
pretty. She is 19 years old, but looks
like a girl of 12, aud dresses like one.
Her skirts are short, and her
brown hair hangs down in
two plaits tied at the ends with ribbon.
“Lucky,” her husband, is 61 years old,
and a grandfather. The romaulic story
is told that the present Mrs. Baldwin
stutUed architecture in San Fraucisco
with her father, whose profession it is.
He was summoned to appear before a
building board in San Francisco to give
his Views ou ventilation, but being too ill
to do so, his bright young daughter pre
paid the report and rea I it before the
bo. '-d, of which Mr. Baldwin was a mem
ber. So successfullv did she present her
Dices that the wealthy widower fell in
love with the young architect, courted
her, and in due course of time she ac
cepted the heart and hand of one of Cali
fornia’s most successful speculators.
They were married about two months ago.
She dresses very simply. wears scarcely
any jewelry, and what she wears is of the
least showy kind. There are children
of 10 and 12 years old who look more
matronly, and dress more like mature
women than does this little bride. She
does not seem to have had her head
turned in the least by her thus far suc
cessiul matrimonial venture, nor by the
attention she attracts during th>s" her
first trip to the East.
WOMEN WHO GAMBLE.
The racing season now extends through
August, and the familiar faces of the
sporting world are seen the summer
through. Each year the habit among
ladies of betting on the races increases.
One of the strongest tastes in woman’s
breast is love of gambling. Let her win
only once and the fascination takes a
strong hold upon her. The day has
passed when bonbons and gloves were
bet by ladies, and the coarser elements ol
horse racing left to men. Now women
not only visit the race course, but they
go down from the city on each race day,
in many instances unescorted, and rattle
off the lore of the track as glibly as any
old timer.
The wife of the most prominent gam
bler at Long Branch has been very suc
cessful during the season. Every race
day, rain or shine, the faces of two sisters
have been seen on the grand stand. They
come down from New York and return at
the close of the races. Living in the at
mosphere of a hotel that is patronized ex
tensively by sporting men, they get points,
winning largely at times. In the past
week or so luck seemed to desert them at
the track, hut one of them won $5,000 in a
lottery. They dress elegantly, wear fine
diamonds, and bet SIOO on a race with
greater coolness than novices venture $5
on a “mutual.” Unlike their sex, the
faces of these women never change when
luck goes dead against them, and without
a comment they pocket their winnings.
Cold-blooded, confirmed gamblers they
are. The races over, they return to their
rooms in the hotel and play poker far into
the night. Such is lile. ’ M.
ATLANTA NOTES.
The Sale of Bnilding Lots at Indian
Spring:—Fulton and Her Legislative
Candidates—Her Railroads and the
Exposition.
Correspondence of the Morning Meics.
Atlanta, Aug. 25.—At Indian Spring
a few days since there was a sale of build
ing lots that panned out handsomely for
the owners of the property. Among the
lots sold were two fronting on the reserve.
These were purchased by Col. Edward
Calloway, the popular hotel manager of
Atlanta. Col. Calloway purchased these
lots for the purpose of erecting upon them
at an early day a handsome hotel of 250
rooms. Since the burning of the Collier
bouse at Indian Spring, which occurred
nearly two years ago, hotel facilities at
this popular resort have been in a great
measure far short of the demand. The
construction of Col. Calloway’s new hotel
will to a great extent supply this demand.
The hotel will be ready for occupation by
the opening of next season.
A Lumber and Building Material Ex
change has been organized
ject of which is to establish a uniloim
grading and classification of lumbar with
special reference to Northern aud North
western markets, and also for the general
regulation of the trade in these products.
The exchange has established its head
quarters in a large and airy hall on Broad
street, near Marietta. The enterprise
is already established on a fine
basis and bids fair to be an important
factor in the business interests of Atlanta.
W. S. Bell is President of the Exchange,
J. C. Wilson is Secretary.
Within the past few days the enter
prising firm of D. C. Bacon & Cos. have
opened a branch office here, with F. SI.
Fremont, late of Savannah, in charge.
WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK
Fulton will hold a primary election for
members of the Legislature. There are
eight candidates in the field subject to the
nomination. The list reads B.F. Abbott,
W. D. Ellis, R. H. Knapp, Welborn Bray,
E. F. Hoge, James A. Gray, J. M. Boring
and John Thomas. These applicants bave
been in the field for some weeks working
up their strength. Although plenty of
hard work has been done none of them
have accomplished much. There is a
i striking absence of “sugar ’ and in con
sequence the campaign moves slowly.
All ot the candidates seem to feel confi
dent of coming to tk_ surface in good
order when tne votes are As
only three can get the nomination it is
plain to see that five of the number will
get left at the polls. Who the three win
ners will he no one seems to know. The
■ canvass has been so dull that no estimate
j eau be given with any degree of cer
! tainty.
1 hear it floating around that Justice
Mark Blanford, of Columbus, Fill not
have smooth waters to sail ovdr in his
race for the seat on the Supreme Bench,
which he now occupies anu tills very ably.
Judge J. W. H. Underwood, whose name
is not unknown when an election for a
seat on, the Supreme Bench is held, has
already announced himself as a candidate
for Justice Blanford's seat, and it is said
that Judges Pottle and Stewart are on a
still hunt for the same position. Why
Justice Blanford should be reupved no
one knows,unless it be to give some other
man a chance. There is no good ground
for his removal, and his opponents will,
for this reason, find it up-hill woffi to dis
place him.
THERE WILL l’.E NO CONTEST
ill this Senatorial district this year. Clay
ton county will put up Col. Tigmtr in the
nomination, and Cobb and Fulton will
support him. It is a matter of surprise
to people all over the district that Fulton
has not a candidate this year. Generally
she has one or two, and whether fcuti led
to it or not, almost in variably gets her
man nominated. Frank Rice, who was
to have gone into the contest, has \ .tli
drawn, and Col. Reuben Arnold, who it
was announced some time ago would
make the race against Rice, if Rice was
the nominee, has come out and said that
he is for Clayton and Clayton’s man. In
this way the" Senatorial matter rests, and
Clayton once more takes the pie.
A near friend to the Board of Railroad
Commissioners tells me that the com
mission will make no point with the next
Legislature as to its powers, unless it be
that some measure is introduced to clip
its wings. This authority says that the
Commissioners are satisfied with things
as they now stand anil will make no
effort to have their power increased. On
the contrary, however, if any effort is
made to lessen the authority off he board,
a strong fight will lie made by the Com
missioners to show that the po , r er of the
board is no greate-than it should he to
protect the interests of the oeople. If
left alone it will remain quiet, but if
meddled it will show its teeth and fight
to the finish.
THE RAILROAD LINES IN GEORGIA,
written to by Commissioner Bacon for the
purpose of ascertaining what assistance
they will give the Commissioner in the
way of cheap freights, have almost with
out exception answered that thev w.li
haul everything to Atlanta free of change.
This action upon their part is highly com
mendable, and it is lo be hoped that the
people of Georgia who can get up an ex
hibit; of any kind will put tbeir products
on the cars so that it can be forwardid to
Atlanta. Maj. A. G. West, of the East
and West Railroad of Alabama, says
that he will not only haul everything I're,
but will give any assistance in his power
in the way of collecting together the re
sources of Georgia.
He is enthusiastic upon Georgia’s dis
play at New Orleans and says that a fine
exhibit will do incalculable benefit to the
State, and that by making a tine show
capital by the million will find its way
into Georgia. A base ball club is being
organized here by the newspaper boys for
the purpose of appearing in the diamond
face Lo face with the executive commit
tee of the Atlantas. The l&wyers have
also made up a nine tocross bats with
the reporters and the executive commit
tee nines.
An Electric Clock.
• Mew Orleans Times-Democrat.
Yesterday a reporter of the T.-D. visited
the establishment of Chess-Carley Cos.,
on l’eters street, and was shown by Mr.
Nunez a clock which, aside from the fact
that it correctly ticks off the hours and
minutes, is quite a remarkable piece of
mechanism. Within the ol the
clock is fixed an "Fiparalus,
resembling in some respc/ “sound
er” seen in a telegraph#-%ce, which is
connected by wire with'% 'wyarehouße
of the firm up town. The f:trical at
tachment is a register, tbiwgh which
passes a narrow paper ribbon, moved by
a revolving cylinder concealed in the
works of the clock.
In the compare s large oil warehouse, a
mile or so distant from the main office,
are located six stations connected by wire
with the electric clock, and the night
watchman employed there makes a round
of the building each hour. As he passes
the stations he presses a button, and the
number of the station and the time ot
night is registered on the tape of the clock
in the office on Peters street. The hour
and minutes are printed on the paper rib
bon, and conform with the time of the
clock. The electrical register consists of
a sharp needle, which punctures the num
ber of the station at the warehouse.
For instance, as the night watchman
passes station No. 1, and presses the
button, the needle punctures the paper
once, for station No. 2 the needle punc
tures twice, station No. 3 three times,
and so on until the last station, No. 6, is
reached. The scale of minutes on the
paper ribbon show the exact time the
watchman took in making the rounds of
ths six stations. The clock is a truthful
eftid infallible recorder of the actions of
the watchman during the night, and he
can not sleep or neglect his duty for one
hour without it betraying him to his em
ployers.
When the main office is opened in the
morning, a glance over the ribbon in the
clock’s casement will show whether the
watchman at the warehouse has been
vigilant or not.
The clock is the only one of the kind in
this city and is quite a curiosity.

JAY GOULD’S STEAM FIDDLE.
A Ulan with a Musical Ear Makes a
Discovery Concerning the Klevated
Trains.
A little man with a great deal of veilow
hair, says the New York Sun, sat in the
rear car of an elevated railway train.
The window next to him was raised. His
arm rested on the window sill, and his
head was bent sidewise, as though he were
listening to some sound outside the car.
The train was ruuning at that minute be
tween the Forty-second and the Fiftieth
street stations on the Sixth avenue line.
He took from his vest pocket a tuning fork,
snapped the tines with the thumb and fin
ger of his left hand, held it to his ear,
sang a note or two, and then put the fork
back into his pocket. To the reporter he
said:
“1 see you have been interested. Per
haps you take me for a crank. No? Well,
I shouldn’t have been discouraged if you
had. Pince you have done me the honor
not to take me for a crank, I will tell you
something.
“1 am engaged in developing a discov
ery,” the little mau went on. “That card
on the side of the car says that the elevat
ed roads carry 300,000 passengers a day.
You wouldn’t think, that any interesting
fact concerning the train—a’ fact plain to
every passenger alter it has been pointed
out to him—would have escaped discovery
for six years, would you? Well, I don’t
know as I am the first and only discover
er, but 1 never heard it mentioned till I
spoke about it. Listen!”
The little man motioned toward the open
window. The train was midway between
Sixth and Eighth avenues. The man pursed
up his lips and made a fine, humming
sound. Then he stooped and asked:
“Do you catch it? Of course you do.
It is of the same pitch as the note I
sounded. I call it the singing of the train.
Now listen again. The train is slowing.
Tbe tone descends. Now it is broken
up into separate thumps that no longer
blend into a continuous note. You saw
me use a tuning fork. Well, 1 found that
the tone when the train was running the
fastest between stations was pretty close
to G—a little sharp, I should say. I
haven't investigated sufficiently to tell in
what ways this singing is effected. This
is the rear car. It may be stronger here
than in other parts of the train, or weak
er. I don’t know whether it is produced
on the Third and Ninth avenue litres or
not. The structure of the road is differ
ent there, you know. I can’t tell what ef
fect the bed on which the pillars rest may
have on the tone. It is rocky under that
part of the road we have just come over.
I have never thought to listen and find out
whether rainy weather increases or de
creases the singing.
“The tact that the pitch is highest when
the train is going the fastest,” said the lit
tle man, decisively, “shows that the
sound is produced by vibrations that are
dependent upon the speed of the train. I
never heard any such sound on surface
steam ears—a musical tone independent
of the clatter and roar of the train. So I
am coming to thereonclusion that tbe train
acts on the trusses of the elevated road
something as a bow acts on the strings of a
fiddle. If lam right, then the elevated
railroad system is a steam fiddle on a com
plex and gigantic scale, and it is proper
on occasions to call it Jay Gould’s steam
fiddle:”
Traces of Pioneer Habits.
Chicago Mews. .
John A. Logan’s tour through the State
of New York seems to have been one con
tinued round ot pleasure. As nearly as
we can estimate, the distinguished Il
linois statesman has distributed enough
ungrammatical taffy along the line ol the
Erie Railroad to wrench all the molar
teeth in seven States out of position.
Yet we understand he is reserving his
supreme effort for Illinois. Whether he
will shoot off his supreme effort for the
edification of the short-haired sand-bag
ger ol Chicago or for the edification of
the barefooted native of Egypt, we do not
know. But we can promise the people
of Illinois in his coming such a cyclone
of. clubfooted eloquence as they never
before listened to, and will neyer want to
experience again.
THE NEW CASTE IN INDIA.
The Haughty. Over-hearing Manners
of the British Conquerors.
The New York Independent in a recent
issue has a very interesting and well
written article by Ram Chundra Bose, the
present leading spirit in the new intellec
tual and spiritual revival going on
among the qiore thoughtful and edu
cated Hindoos. The object of this article
is to show that the English in India are
founding anew caste there with all the
bitter, overbearing, arrogant, intolerant,
and exclusive leeliugs that have uniform
ly characterized a conquering race, and
that in doing so they are but following the
course of those who from the same busy
hive of population in Central Asia poured
down over India some 4,000 years ago and
established their supremacy on the plains
of Hindostan, by much the same means as
those taken by the conquerors
of the present day. These
earlier conquerors, he says, were original
ly white, but in the course of ages their
d’eseendantSTook on a dusky hue, became
effeminate and feeble, and so were easily
subdued by the branch of their own race
which, invigorated by the bracing temper
ature of Northern Europe, came down
upon those regions from the west as
English and carried all before them. The
writer holds that never was there a bitter
er, more haughty and more intolerant sys
tem of caste than that which is being de
veloped in India by the English residents
and their children. As proof and illus
tration of this the reception given to the
Ilbert bill is referred to, as well as the
scornfully unjust and contemptuous way
in which, both publicly and in private,
all natives who have no English blood
are treated, whether they are Christian or
not.
We fear there is a great deal of truth iu
what is thus said. In the days when Lady
Duff Gordon was staying in Egypt, that
lady remarked in one of her letters that
she was always ashamed of her country
men whenever the overland mail passed
through. The officers oi the company,
whether civil or military, were, she said,
as a class o brusque, overbearing and
isdoient that she ceased to wonder that
the natives of India generally should re
gard them with a dislike almost amount
ing to horror. To a very large extent, it
is to be feared, this was the great cause of
the outbreak in ’57, and should there ever
be another similar occurrence it will have
to be credited to much the same cause. It
is never to be forgotten that thousands
upon thousands of the Hindoos are be
coming thoroughly educated according to
the European standard, that they are a
sharp, subtle, sensitive race, and
that it is not possible
to imagine that such people will
always submit to the scornful, fanatical
contempt of their handful of masters, who
never lose an opportunity of showing how
wide the gulf which separates them, how
high above ail thought the ruling race,
and how low the subject one.

Boston Globe.
“I bare struck anew business,” said
Jones yesterday. “You know that $2,000
my uncle left me"? Well, I didn’t hide it
in a napkin. Oh! no. I started in busi
ness, hired an office, hung out my shingle,
•Real Estate and mortgages,’ and waited.
Client soon came, and 1 distributed my
shekels. Some wanted $10; these paid $1
a week for its use; somessoand upwards;
from these 1 got from $5 to $lO, according
to my customers.”
“But, have you a license?”
“License? no. What’s the need ? lean
get around the law every time. I’ll tell
you how Ido it. I can take a mortgage
on personal property all right when it is
to remain with owners; but when 1 take
the goods 1 have to be careful to keep
within the letter oi the law. Ilow do Ido
it? Well, I take a bill of sale ol the goods
ho can then say but what I bought
them? Meat, isn’t it?j
“I will tell you another wrinkle I have.
When 1 make out mortgages of course I
can’t give my Lime for nothing, so 1
charge $5 a set for the papers, and that is
quitdan item in a year’s time, and —”
“Wait a bit,” said the reporter. “Do
you ever get any security left on your
hands?”
“Yes, occasionally. ’When I make a
loan I don't intend to give more than a
third ot,what the security will bring at
auction, and I charge a ruinous interest,
so that the borrower can’t pay the loan.
Then 1 grab the goods and pocket the dif
ference. I know I am a Shylock, but I
don’t entice the people in, as some of the
boys do, by advertising money at 2 per
cent., and then charging sto 10. Oh, no,
I guarantee secrecy, but 1 publish my
mortgages—that is, record them. It halt
the people knew that recorded mortgages
were published they would not be sp in
clined to borrow.”
“Stolen goods? Yes, i have some, but
I don’t want to touch them, as I got into
trouble awhile ago and lost some $75.”
‘•1 will give you a few figures that will
show you what a ‘soft thing’ 1 hayfi, Let
me see. I had $2,000 a year ago-, when I
started in. Loaned $5OO at 100 per cent.,
which was $500; $l,OOO at 60 per cent.,
$6OO, and in small sums $5OO at 200 per
cent., $l,OOO, a total o 4 $2,100. My ex
penses were: for office and advertising,
$5OO, and iy net profits accordingly
$l,OOO. Mot so had for a tyro, eh? Well,
I must be going. A man’ wants $75 and
will pay $25 a month interest. I can’t
miss it. Come down when your are
short.”
“Thanks,” replied the reporter, adding,
mentally, “not if 1 know myself.”
