Burke, of He New Orleans Times-Democrat, Belo, of Hfc Galveston News , and Grady, of the At wfltu Constitution, intend to establish a daily paper in New York to be devoted to the interests of the South. It is said that they believe there ate enough Southerners In New York to make ‘ho paper profitable. A good scheme for the Southerners, hut not for the enterprising newspaper men. When French intervention stopped min ing in Mexico the A guavas brothers, then poor miners, waited until the title to the celebrated Mulatto's mine liecame void, and then they denounced it. They havo since worked the mine on the old plan, and have made a fortune out of it. Some years ago Senator Hearst, of California, offered $2,000,000 for it, but his offer was refused. It has now been sold to nil English syndicate for £OOO,OOO. It is said that the property can be made to yield $2,000,000 annually. Mrs. Messer has been making a mess of it In St. Louis. The other night she drew a pistol and tried to kill a man because he objected to her carrying beer through his premises. When she was arrested she told the officer that she wus in the habit of carry ing a pistol. Noxt day she was fined $45. Whan tho lawyer employed to defend her tried to collect liis bill .-he again drew her pistol and put him to flight. Mho then started to leave the city, but too mnch beer caused her to fall by the wayside, and she was once more gathered in by an officer. A woman so masculine in her ways ought to join Dr. Mary Walker in tho suffrage cru sade. The Cliicago Tribune manufactures a lcrtor from Roseoo Conkling to u Republi can political club in which he hi made to t:.y: “It would If u pleasure to participate In your gathering and to )>ay my trilmto to the memory of a man mi Illustrious- I allude now to Gen.

I cannot forget, while thinking of the armies ho led in battle, of ttic groat party he led to victory, that that party has abandoned the right way.” If Colliding would express Id nisei f without reservation he would doubtless suy that the Republican party was never in the rigid W. The Southern Boom. The Southern boom is viewed differently from d.fierent points. The Washington Post says that “the Southern h<K)m seems to have coT.e to stay” and calls attention to the movement to establish n large shipyard at Mobile. The Chicago Tribune publishes an article entitled "The Southern Boom Col lapsing.” The article, however, is not in tended to be an unfriendly one, although little appears in that journal which shows a kindly feeling for the South. The Southern boom ts not collapsing; that is, there is no falling off in the energy and enterprise that the South has been display ing within the last year or two. and no de creaae of confidence in the South's future. Capitalists an* as satisfied with the prognws the South is making as they ever were,and are as ready to invest their money in her mines, forests and lands. They understand that her resources ar -very great, the develop ment of which has only begun. Many railroads are being built, and iron, cotton and other factories are being erected. It may be true that in some of the towns there is not so much excitement over corner lots as there was a few months ago, but that Is txs-ause speculation has carried prices to a point which is unwarranted by anything which appeals to the judgment of genuine investors, and which makes even reckless speculators hesitate. The excitement, how ever, which has subsided to some extent will spring up again when improvements, which are being made with wonderful rapidity, and which are fully justified by the resources of the country, have so far ad vanced as to afford convincing proof that the South has a solid basis for any boom in her behalf, however great it may lie. A distinction must lie made between the Southern boom and the booms which real estate syndicates, interested in this or that town site, may start. Some of the town site hi suns may flourish for awhile and then disappear, but the Southern boom is bound to have a steady, healthy and permanent growth. The Blackwood Case. The Blackwood case, which has caused se rious complications between the authorities of Georgia and those of South Carolina, lias developed some new phases. In order that these may be understood it will be nec essary briefly to review the case. F. A. Blackwood, a resident of Aiken county, South Carolina, was charged with having forged a check on an Augusta bank. Without obtaining the necessary requisi tion, Eil. Stone, a policeman, and J. P. Mc- Nally, a bank clerk, went to Blackwood’s home on March 8, arrested him, and car ried him to Augusta and lodged him in jail. When the case was brought to the attention of Gov. Richardson, of South Carolina, he requested Gov. Gordon to have Blackwood's trial delayed until the circumstances attending the arrest could be inquired into. Gov. Gordon in duced the court to delay the trial, in ac cordance with Gov. Richardson's request. Subsequently the latter took the position that Blackwood had been kidnapfied, and demanded his release and return to South Carolina. The demand was not granted, Gov. Gordon holding that he had no au thority to do so. The ease was then re ferred to Attorney General Anderson, who decided that Gov. Gordon’s action was right. The new phases in tho case are these: On April 27 Gov. Richardson sent a requisition to Gov. Gordon for the delivery of Stone ami McNally. The offense of which they are charged in South Carolina is kidnap ping. The requisition would have lieeu promptly honored but for the fact that in dictments were pending against Stone and McNally in Georgia. Gov. Gordon cannot deliver the two men to tho South Carolina authorities until tho indictments have been disposed of by the Georgia courts. On April 29 Gov. Richardson petitioned the Judge of Richmond Superior Court for a writ of habeas corpus to bring Blackwood before the court, so that the legality of the prisoner’s arrest and detention might lie determined. On the same day Blackwood also petitioned for a writ of halieas corpus. Tito Judge sanctioned the writ., and ordered Blackwood to be brought before the court on May 11. There is no disposition upon the part of Gov. Gordon to uphold Stone and McNally, if they have been guilty of an offense. He simph insists that as long as Blackwood is within the jurisdiction of a Georgia court, and indictments are pending in Georgia agaiiLSt Stone and McNally, he is powerless to interfere in the case, and that, only tho courts can unravel the complications, courts, of course, will see that justice is done to all the parties concerned. The ifeformed Criminal. A few days ago the Morning News called attention to the case of John Ryan, who was arrested at Louisville as a suspected felon. It will be remembered that Ityan admitted having served a term in prison, and that he declared tho suspicion with which he was regarded on that account prevented him from making an honest living. Another case, that of a journeyman painter in New York, is a fresh illustration of tho difficulty experienced in obtaining employment by persons who have been in prison on account of the commission of crime. This man appliod to Mayor Hewitt for help. He said that a youthful indiscretion got him into prison, out of which he was pardoned. The fact being known he was constantly subjected to un pleasant suspicion. Every time he obtained employment the Painters’ Union would make his unfortunate indiscretion tho pre text of requesting his discharge by the bosses, until finally liis family was driven to the verge of starvation. One of the fundamental principles upon which Christian society is founded is for giveness of the rejioiitaut sinner, but it is a principle which seems to ho lost sight of in cases where the sinner has gone so far as to get himself into prison. The treatment of the ex-oonviet who honestly desires to re form is almost us bail as that of the ex-con vict who continues in his evil ways. There. are very few who havo sufficient philan thropy and faith in human nature to believe in the reformation of n criminal to tlie extent of giving him employment. The police in tho larger cities say that this is duo to the fact that hut lew criininnis ever really reform. It is a fact, however, that seine do reform, and they ought not to lie debarred from til li ng u living. - The case of tho roformed criminal pre sents a serious problem. He must live, and if he is not given the opportunities ucrorded to those who liuvo not committed crime, he will cither become a mendicant or again join the ranks of criminals. In the interest of society it might lie well for tho Ktute to provide employment for him until it is seen that Ids repentance is genuine. Better (his time that lie should "oo forced into men dicancy or crime. TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 2, 1887. Discipline for the Young'. In this <lny of improved methods in the school room bodily punishment is not often adniindtercd to refractory pupils. Instead •‘a black mark'’ or “detention after school’’ is the mild punishment used to deter them from violations of rules, or to induce them to study th'-ir lessons. It is the experience of teachers, however, that the improved methods of punishment are failures, aud in coiLsenuence there is a general demand for a return to the hickory rod or the whalebone. Perplexed iwdagogues may find a sugges tion in the plan of punishment adopted by a teacher in New Beil ford, M iss. Miss Nut ter, the princiiwl of a p-imary school iu that city, tries water ujxm refractory pu pils. She does not drown them, blit she takes them to the sink and washes their faces. Her plan, perhaps, would be unob jectionable were it not fur the fact that she does not use a sponge. She holds the youth ful faces under a faucet and lets the water run until her victims are almost paralyzed. Her plan is sanctioned by the superintend ent i>f schools, but the parents of the pupils object to it upon two grounds: They say it is inhuman, and that they prefer to wash their children’s faces without outside help. If demagogues can overcome the objec tions to Miss Nutter’s plan it may not be necessary to return to the rod or whalebone. There are reasons to Itelieve, however, that the old methods of punishment were the best. There is a wonderful amount of per suasion in a well seasoned hickory, whether it is used to prevent bad behavior or to in duce study. Its use, too, is a curb upon forwardness. The youths of thirty years ago were willing to let their elders control in most matters, but now the latter are allowed but few privileges. The youths are in command. If their teachers do not suit them they strike. If parental authority presses too hard upon them they leave home and proceed to work out their own destinies. Of course there are exceptions, for now and then the hickory is still found in use. Old men who were "thrashed into subjec tion.” as they express it, unite in the opinion that the young should be brought under stricter discipline. The thoughtful observer will admit that they are right. Thore ought to be a reform, and it should begin in the family. Severe punishment ought not to be Inflicted, but boys and girls should be made to obey. As to the schools, nobody would care to see the “old field schools” re established, but it would be well to try a little of their efficacious discipline. Nothing has been gained by practically allowing the young to control themselves. Suicide In Jail. Within the last few days two prisoners confined in Georgia jails have committed suicide.) At Eastman, William Sliine, a negro, imprisoned for a trivial offense, ended his career with morphine, and, at Macon, Cicero Darby, a white man, con demned to life imprisonment for the mur der of his cousin, ended his life with the same drug or some other jtoison. The criminal records of Geor gia contain a number of similar cases. Men condemned to expiate crime upon the gallows have not infre quently escaped the disgrace of such a death by committing suicide. In every case the officers charged with the care of the prisoners have professed to be greatly surprised, and have seemingly bqen-tottfljle to explain how tho deadly drug, the knife, or the pistol, was obtained. When .sijeh cases occur it is not the rule to make inves tigations. The unfortunate _ oner's body is buried, gnJTtliat is the end of the matter. This sort of thing has become too common inTledr gia. It is the duty of the jailer to see that his prisoners are properly guarded, so that justice may not be defeated. He has no right to allow crowds of visitors in tho jail, unless he takes precautions to prevent them from holding secret communication with his prisoners. In tho the case of Cicero Darby, it was known to his fellow prisoners that he was taking a drug at least twelve hours before his death. It is strange that the jailer (lid not know it also. It is stranger that he did not watch Darby’s visitors, so as to prevent them from giving him the drug. In cases like that of Darby, however, the jailer is not tho only person who is to blame. The Sheriff, who hns the control of the jailer, and sometimes the physician who prescribes for the prisoner, are often to blame. The latter two are not infrequently guilty of carelessness. The one fails to ex ercise close supervision over his deputy and the other is too ready to follow the sugges tions of the prisoner in making prescrip tions. When a prisoner is placed in the care of tho officers they are responsible for him, and they ought to be required to render a strict account of their trust. If the pris oner commits suicide an investigation should be made, and, if the officers have been careless, they should lie punished. It is os much their duty to prevent an escape by death us it is to prevent one by the breaking of locks. At Leominster, Muss., a curious ecclesiasti cal case is soon to be tried. Two Methodist preachers were invited by their host, a Mr. Curtis, to go fishing on Sunday. They re fused, and one of them in tho course of a sermon severely criticised Mr. Curtis. At dinner on the same Sunday both preachers ate of the fish which Mr. Curtis caught. Mrs. Curtis didn't like the criticism upon her husband, and revenged herself by mak ing it known that tho two preachers had eaten part of the fish. Charges of unchris tian like conduct were preferred against them, and they have been suspended pend ing their trial. The question at issue is this: Is it sinful to eat fish cuught on Sun day ? At Dead wood, Dak., u few days ago some young moil held a meeting for the purpose of organizing a branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association. One of them, who claimed that his grandfather was the third cousin of a deacon, suggested that more good would be accomplished by organizing a Joint Stock Horse Racing Association. The suggestion received unanimous ap proval, and now Dead wood "points with pride” to the deep interest her citizens take in religious matters. Tho Philadelphia /Voss’ (ear of Demo cratic gains in Pennsylvania causes it to bubble over with venom. It declares that simultaneously with the announcement that President Cleveland’s re-election is eagerly hoped for in Croat Britain there comas a new and vigorous boom in Confederate bonds in London.

A Lovely Memory Which Lived in thp Mind of the Bridegroom. From the San Franeitco Chronicle. They were celebrating their silver wedding, and of course the couple were very happy and very affectionate. "Yes." said the husband, "this is the only woman I ever loved. I shall never forget the first time I propose ! to her." "How di<fyou do it?" burst out a young man who had been squeezing a pretty girl's hand in the corner. They ali laughed and he blushed, but the giri carried it off bravely. "Well. I remember as well as if it were yester day. It was away back in Maine. We had lieen out on a picnic, and she and I got wander ing alone. Don’t you remember, my dear;" ■ The wife nodded and smiled. "We sat on the trunk of an old tree. You haven't forgotten, love, haveyou:" The wife nodded again. "one began writing in the dust with the point of her parasol. Y'ou recall it, sweet, don't you?" The wife nodded again. "She wrote her name, Minnie.' and I said let me put the other name to it. And I took the parasol and wrote my name—Smith—after it." “How lovely:” broke out a little maid who was beaming in a suspicious nay on a tall chap with a blonde moustache. "And she look back the parasol and wrote belowtt: 'No, I won't.' Ana we went home. You remember it. darling. I see you do." Then he kissed her. and the company mur mured sentimentally, wasn't it pretty* The guests had all departed and the happy couple were left alone. "Wasn't it nice, Minnie, to see all our friends around us so happy?" "Yes, it was. But, John, that reminiscence:" “Ah, it seems as if it had been only yester day.” "Yes, dear, there are only three things you're wrong about in that story.” "Wrong : Oh. no !” , "John, I'm sorry you told that story, because 1 never went to a picnic with you before we were married. 1 was never iu Maine in my life, and I never refused you.” "My darling," you must be wrong •Tm not wrong, Mr. Smith. I have an ex cellent memory, and although we have been 'lurried twentv five years. I'd like to know who that minx Minnie was. Y'ou never told me about tier beiore." MRS. CLEVELAND’S AMBITION. She Wants a Second Term, and She Has Influence With the President. FYom Washington Letter to the Boston Post. “I am surprised at the avidity with which the newspapers of the country swaliow the state ment that the President has expressed himself as satisfied with one term, and that he will not allow his name to be used again.” said a gentle man from Buffalo to your correspondent to-day. "I do not believe that the idea of standing for a second nomination ever occurred to him when he wrote his celebrated letter to Mr. Curtis. At that time he was in a condition to be contented with a single term. But events have ripened in the last two years, and besides he is married now, and the possession of a wile often changes a man's intentions entirely.” “Have you any reason to believe that Mr. Cleveland really does desire a renomination “I have not put the question direct to him, but I know absolutely, from very recent con versations, that he has a very well defined de sire to test his policy on the country. He has that feeling, so common in men in public office, to test the sense of the people on the manner in which he has fulfilled the trust imposed upon him. This feeling is a most natural one. Besides this, it will be remem liered that a great deal has been said from time to time concerning the great dissatisfac tion alleged to exist in Erie county, N. Y., over his course. The President desires to know absolutely whether this dissatisfaction is as widespread as it is said to be.” “To what did you allude when you referred to his marriage as having possibly changed his ideas in reference to a second term?” “Simply this. My daughter and Frank Fol som were old schoolmates. They are still inti mate friends. Mrs. Cleveland has made no se cret among her friends of her desire to continue as the mistress of the White House for, another four years after her husband's first term as President expires. Y'ou may set it down as a certainty that the President will be guided largely by the wishes of his wife in this mat ter." A Law Agin It. “Our church has got a bran’ new man.

They* comb their hair straight up behind, And put in arrers for to pin it, And friz and bang it down in front; There ought to be a law agin it. “They buy the highest hats there is, And make ’em higher yet with trimmin’, And feathers frizzlin' out, until They look like Injuns more than women; And bustles! land, I saw one girl Who co iidn’t sit straight up a minute, I say it’s awful—and I say, There ought to be a law agin it, “ ’Twan’t so when I was young—why then The girls a* church was worth a seem’; They didn't dress till folks forgot To praise the Author of their bein' Our gown* was neat, with buttons up And down, in modest rows, to trim 'em. I mind Aunt Polly Jones declat ed There ought to be a law agin ’em. “But she was queer; I recollect The bonnet that I got one summer Had lace ami roses on the side, And so it like to overcome her. For when she saw that hunch o’ lace, With artificial posies in it, She just rolled up her eyes and said: There ought to be a law agin it.” Good Cousin Phoebe stops and smiles, Her thought has taken new direction, The context twixt the then and now Calls up her past recollection. She quite forgets ttie modern style. That makes the modern woman sinner, For clothed with youthful grace again, Her worn out. garments eouie and win her. —Mas. (i. Akchieald. Bancroft Nominated Polk. Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune. Opportunities were Improved for private con versations with Mr. Bancroft. His loti.',' and use ful life had given him advantages in knowing and acting parts in the country's history never recorded, which are as so many solid liuia left out of mi anchor chain. Incidentally 1 remarked tlint he and Mr, Polk were special friends, and tie replied: “O, yes, 1 knew him before he be came President. If the truth was told, it would lie that I not only suggested him for the Presi dency, lint advocated Ids fitness and availa bility until his nomination was assured. Van Burcn was a candidate, you reinemluir, but lie was opposed bitterly, unit then (Jen. t ans, of Michigan,was fought so vigorously in return t.’iat I saw neither could get the two thirds necessary to a nomination. Trtt>*, Van Buren received a lore majority, hut he should not except as a compliment I liked Cass and should have sup ported him heartily, but 1 saw ho could not over come the opposition. I knew Polk and Ids strong qualities. New York was for Cass, but readily accepted Polk on realizing the strength of opposition to its favorite. Then I went to the Kentuckey delegation. It was quite willing to vote for Mr. Polk. The mention or his name to l lie Tennesseeans was sufficient." "Bid you put him In nomination?'' "O, no. I did not, nomi nate him because my State was too weak. If Massachusetts hod been a Democratic State I should have done so with pride. I did make a speech for my State when the time came." "Well, Mr. Bancroft, he could afford to be your good friend." "But he never knew it," was replied quickly. "I never told anybody but you." Mischievous Blade and Tan. Fro tn I he New York World. There was so inn fun for a minute yesterday afternoon in front of the Alliemarle. A young Ittily, a long chain and a plig dog came along. A small blac'i and tan dog rushed out of tile hotel and in u jiffy had given the pug a sharp nip on a hind quarter. The pug gave u ki-yi and ran around the legs of a fat man who happened to lie passing liy. The fat man got entangled with the chain, and in trying to raise his left foot to clear It lost his lgdar.ee and went headlong to wards tile gutter. The pug bowled louder than ever, his fair ow ner shouted , “You brute!" at the fat man. whose umbrella in his stumble hud struck her on the cheek. Several gentlemen who were (touting down Broadway came upon the scene just as the fat man was rising. They thought he had struck at the young lady anu one of them wanted to seize him by the collar. Kbo, however, picked up the pug and hurried ncross the sireet in l lie direct ion of Madison Square. The fat man did not utter a word, but looked as if he would like to give the pug a kick. The small black and tuu tiiat eausisl all the trouble was standing in the door-way of tile hotel watching for another aristocratic aud rib boned dog to come along to be piucliod from the rear by a act of needle teeth, ITEMS OF INTEREST.

During President Grant's administration the White House made use of steel-engraved cards for dinner cards. The vignette was a well exe cuted representation of the executive mansion. It was customary to write the name of a guest on one of these cards and place it beside his plate at dinner. President Cleveland, however, uses only a plain card for this purpose. There is a large stock of picture cards on hand, and Nli*. Cleveland makes use of them in sending out his autograph. The signature heneath the pic ture of the White House form a handsome souvenir.

Miss Florence Marryatt bears this unmis takable testimony to the politeness of Ameri cans: “There is no gentleman like the American man. However hurried a man may be he does not shove a woman into the gutter to make room for himself, nor does he stare rudely in her face as she passes him, nor make remarks on her apjiearance or her dress. There is no such boor in the world as the middle-class Englishman, and some of the members of the so-called ‘upper class' are not free from this species of insolence. No mail in this country passes a woman in the passage without raising his hat until she is out of sight. Artisans in the street will hold a shop door opep for you. or pick up anything you may let fall, and a workman one day seeing me carrying a heavy handbag on the railway platform put down his own basket of tools and relieved me of the burden.” The Boston Transcript says: Some peculiar circumstances attended the funeral of the late Hon. J. M. Dyer, who was a highly esteemed citizen of the Green Mountain State, at West Salisbury, Vt., a few days ago. Mr. Dyer was a man of massive size. No casket could lie found large enough and one was made. It was six feet six inches in length, two and one-half feet wide and twenty-one inches deep. No hearse was large enough to hold it, and six men were required so take it through the front window of the house to an express wagon, which was barely large enough. The casket was with great difficulty taken in and out of the church. The grave was four feet wide and seven feet long. Mr. Dyer stood more than six feet tall and weighed three hundred pounds. He was the largest man in the county, if not in North ern Vermont. He leaves three sons, who stand six feet high and are well proportioned. Speaking of Prince M turice, of Montleart, who died recently at Vienna, 80 years old. and left his fortune of some $15,000,000 to the Queen of Italy, Life (London i remarks that it was an entirely unexpected gift to her. The Prince was always an eccentric personage. The last thirty or forty years of his solitary life were spent at his splendid seat near Vienna, and he had a mausoleum built in his park for his last rest ing-place. The Viennese police, however, have interfered in the matter, and. not allowing his park to tie made into a cemetery, have directed that his body should be buried in the vaults of the chapel in the castle. The Prince of Mot loart leaves no children. His only sister, who also has an immense fortune, was mur dered two years ago in her castle near Cracow, and up to the present moment the Austrian police have not succeeded in finding the mur derer. Her daughter married the Marquis Gonzaga-Wieloposki, son of the celebrated statesman known for his endeavors to reconcile Poland and Russia. Vassili Samoiloff, whose f' jath has been an nounced, was one of the most notable actors in Russia. He was also a wit. and was fond of re counting his adventures, one of which bears a strong likeness to stories told of several other comedians, t>n one occasion tin* Emperor Nicholas sent for him, and then and there, with out the uliges: preparation or warning, told Sa mqilofT to imitutehim. The comedian promptly seized a helmet, placed it on his own bead, and then turning to the Minister on duty, said with an air of authority: "You will grant Samoiloff two months' leave ar>d give him 5,000 roubles out of the Imperial Treasury." The Czar laughed heartily and ordered his Minister to comply with the command. Another time SanuiilofT, in a piece which lie was playing, imitate, 1 to the life a certain Count, notorious for his eccen tricities and extravagance. The Count, who happened to lie among the audience, wen! up to the actor behind the scenes and congratulated him on his sucress, hut added thut the re semblance would lie more striking if, instead of tile cold shirt-studs which he was wearing, Sa moilolT hud put on diamond studs. Then, suit ing Cm action to the word, the Count took off ills own diamond studs and presented them to the comedian. Samoilof? was u general favor ite. and his many sallies were applauded even by those at whose expense he indulged his wit. Mas. Larotry, before she disuppeaiyd from English society, had seen many other ladies raised by royal fivo* to the now extinct position of “professional beauty." There is hardly one of t'.vse ladies whose fate is not worthy of com miseration. and ivh |.* confessions would not lie valuable. Their reigns terminated In various ways, t>n offended by observing that a certain wan t was not as thin as formerly; another, that u certain bead of halt was not as thick as of yore; a third, in a festive moment, poured a teospoonfitl of ice cream down a roval shirt collar; a fourth falsely and wickedly stated to her friends that a certain bracelet wan a royal gift, whereas, in truth and in fact, it was bought out of the hard earnings of her husband's brain. The position as reigning favor ite involved untold expenses, for to know the Prince involved l.itowfug Ids set. who were numerous and thirsty, and for whose accommo dation m a house often of the tiniest the friends of a life time had perforce to lie dis carded. Fulsome was the adulation (toured upon tlie beauty during her brier rAgn, and cruel were the slights and smile pul upon her when it ended, and nothing remained to remind her of It but shattered health, an alienated husband and an infuriated fat! er-irt-law.
