Senator Voorhees is one of the wise men of the day. After all, Walter Ridgley, tho Texarkana, Ark., hero, turns out to be a myth. The Chicago Tribune acknowledges that there is no such man, and that tho story of the kill ing of the seven Murphy’s was manu factured by a drummer named Weeks. Col. Charles H.

The statement has been published recent ly in more than one Georgia paper that the farmers of this and some of the other South ern States are gradually becoming poorer, and that if they were suddenly required to pay their debts the great majority of them would be found to bo. insolvent. This doubt less is an exaggerate 1 statement. It may be that, as a rule. Southern farmers are not very prosperous, but their condition is not as bad as some of them seem to think it i ... They have suffered to some extent, within the last few years, from poor crops and low prices, but they are not on the verge of bankruptcy. A prosperous year would bo sufficient to put the most of them on their feet again, and while that is the case there is no occasion for despairing. Fanners ought to know their own busi ness tletter than those not engaged in fann ing, but it does seem as if they make a grave mistake in paying so little attention to the advice that is given them with re spect to their devotion to cotton. They re fuse to give up the idea that in cotton alone there is profit. Year after year they plant little else than cotton, simply because it al ways commands cash. They do not stop to consider whether it costs them more to raise it than they get for it. If they were to keep a strict account of all the expenses of producing a crop of cotton they would be surprised how little, if any, the profit on it is. ?If they could be induced to plant half the number of acres of cotton they do, and to cultivate food crops sufficient to supply their wants they would find their pocketbooks in a much better condition at the end of the year than they do now.\ To sell cotton at a low price and buy bacon, com and hay at high prices will make any farm— j-oor in time. The sup plies for the plantat.on must, be bought and paid for whether the cotton crop is good or bad, and if the cotton doesn't furnish the money for the sunr lies a mortgage is re sorted to to get It. A farmer whose farm is burdened with a mortgage 'is generally in a bad way. Neither rain nor droughts affect the interest on a mortgage. That increases right along, night and day, week in and week out, and before the farmer knows it his farm is in the hands of the Sheriff. Southern fanners are not careful enough about small things. They don’t look closely after the butter, eggs, poultry, etc) In sterile Vermont, New Hampshire and other New England States, these things are the source of great profit. Indeed, without them many of the farmers in those States would not be able to make a living at all. In the South, particularly on farms which are given up almost wholly to cotton, scarcely any attention is paid to but ter or poultry, and less to fruit nnd vege tables. All of these things are looked upon as too trifling to be bothered with. South ern farmers will never be convinced of their mistake, however, until necessity forces them to make a change in their method of farming. How many Southern farmers are there who carefully collect all the materials about their farms that are fitted for manuring purposes* The number doubtless is small, and yet there are very few of them who do not purchase expensive commercial fertilizers every year. They might collect fertilizing materials on their farms which would do their land as much good as the fertilizers they buy. Let Southern farmers look more closely after the little things that are worthy of attention on their farms and they will very soon notice an improvement in their affairs. High License in Pennsylvania. Tho high license bill which has been pend ing Iteforo the Pennsylvania Legislature for several weeks has finally passed both branches of that ltody, and now only awaits the Governor’s signature to become a law.J It is not probable that the Governor will veto it, and thus follow the example of Gov. Hill, of New York, who cheeked the high license movement in that State by bis veto of the Crosby bill. Tho Pennsylvania bill appears to lie gen erally satisfactory throughout that Stnte. It is bitterly opposed, of course, by the keepers of the lowest class of dram shops because it will force a great many of them to close their places of business. Those places can be spared, however, and there are feiv who will regret their disappearance. The law is a graded one. For the large cities the license is .$.lOO, and for cities of the second and third classes $4OO. In tho country’ districts it ranges from $lOO to $2OO. It is not, of course very high anywhere, but it is high enough for an experiment. If it is found to work well it may l>c increased as the temperance sentiment grows stronger. High license, although condemned by Prohibitionists, produces good results wherever tried. It lessons the evils which How from the sale of intoxicating liquors, and, in that way, gradually educates the people to favor temperance.) Tho Prohibi tionists make the mistake of thinking that oil that is neeassary to stop whisky dritik is to enact a law against its sale. That pro hibitory laws are of little account, unless supported by a strong public sentiment, ex perience proves, Such laws aro effective in country districts, because public sentiment upholds them, but in the large cities their only effect is to prevent the open sale of in toxicating liquors. There is as much, and probably more, drunkenness where whisky is sold freely in a surreptitious way than when sold openly. ( The first thing to do in order to advance the cause of temperance is to educate public sentiment in favor of it. Higli license hel]>s to do that. When public sentiment is ripe for them prohibitory laws can be effectively enforced. Not long ago Opie P. Read, one of the genuine humorists of the country, removed his paper, the Arkansaw Trawler, to Chi cago. Immediately before the first number appeared from tho new quarters ho sent to each of tho editors of Chicago papers a copy of the following note: "When you receive the first issne of the Traveler dated at Chicago please do not condemn tho sad Jack of entertainment. I liavo just received a dispatch telling me that my little girl— the little girl I worshiped—is dead. Your friend, OpioP. Read.” The thousands whom the humorist has caused to laugh will now sympathize with him in his bereavement. Senator Vest called on the President tho other day, and the question of tho latter’s accepting tho nomination for a socond term was gixxl humoredly discussed. It was de cided that tho Senator's announcement that tho President would refuse to bo the Demo cratic candidate next year had resulted ir. no serious harm. The fact is, the announce ment resulted hi no harm, serious oroUiur wise. It simply caused the eato their desire that tho Prcsleal shnifeho inain in the White House r<>u | kwr r . a. tor big present :rc. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1887. Two Florida Railroads. There mo excellent reasons for thinking that the projected railroads from Tallahas see and Monticello, Fla., to a point on the Savannah, Florida and Western railway will bo built, and tliat work on them will soon be begun. It is probably, of course, that the joint at wiiich they will connect with the latter railway is Thomasville. That thriving little city has advantages which those Interested in the projected roads cannot very well overlook.) The Morning News has already seated that the conditions under which these roads arc to bo built are that Tallahassee and Mon tlceilo are to secure tho right of way and grade the roads to the Georgia State line, and that the Savannah, Florida and Western is to complete the grading of them to the point of intersection with its system and to iron them and furnish the rolling stock. Tho Sa vannah, Florida and Western is ready, of course, to carry out its part of the agree ment whenever it is authoritatively an nounced that the two towns in question are prepares! to do their part. It is asserted by those who are in a position to know that they will soon bo prejmred. Tallahassee has about 640,000 assurod and Monticello alout $20,000, and it is said that the remainder is in sight. Efforts are being made to get the subscriptions into such shajie as will permit the completion of the roads during the present year. It seems that it is not yet definitely determined whether the two roads will be entirely sepa rate, or whether they will meet at some jjoint before reaching the Savannah, Flori da and Western and connect with that road over a single line. There are several things which will contribute to the settlement of this question. However, it is not a matter of much importance to Talla hassee and Monticello whether the two roads are sejierate throughout their entire length or whether they reach their objective point in Georgia over a single track. The thing they are after is a con nection with the Savannah, Florida and Western. Tho two roads will run through some of the best lands of Florida. These lands being off the line of travel have been somewhat neglected. Thase roads, however, will not only make them very desirable, but will greatly increase the commercial importance of two of Florida's most attractive towns. Leon, Madison, Jefferson and other coun ties adjacent to those mentioned are re garded with great favor by all who have a thorough knowledge of Florida , and when the two roads in question are completed all of the best piarts of them will be quickly oc cupied by a thrifty class of people. All that has retarded their prosperity is a lack of facilities for reaching good markets. When these facilities are provided their natural advantages will (Daw capital and immi grants to them, and they will soon bo ranked among the most prosperous counties in the State. The Question of Rov/ards. In reverting once more to the policy of offering rewards for the apprehension of criminals as carried out in Georgia, the Morning News desires to call attention to two recent phases of it. The first is that the Governor has thought proper to revoke all offers of rewards made prior to Jan. 1, 1887, and the second is that the. grand jury of Bibb cdunty has indicted a deputy sheriff and a lieutenant of police for accepting part of a reward offered for the arrest of one of the alleged lynchers of James Moore, of Macon, who was hung last August. When tho Governor withdrew the re wards offered prior to last January he acted wisely, because there is no doubt that some of them were offered under a misrepresen tation of facts. Besides, a year is long enough for a reward to remain unclaimed, and some of those which the Governor can celled hail stood so long that they were al most forgotten. In the case of the indictments found by the grand jury of Bibb county the two offi cers concerned explain that they followed a precedent in accepting a part of the reward. “Trial by newspaper” may be objectionable —to the guilty—but in the case under con sideration there is at least one good reason why tho newspaper verdict, which declared that tho indicted officers' had neglected a jilain duty, should have been rendered. Under the constitution of Georgia grand juries must be composed of the most intelligent citizens, and the fact tliat a grand jury so consti tuted found tho indictments in question is prima facie evidence tliat tho conduct of the officers was at least suspicious. The Morning News suggested some time ago that the whole question of rewards should be thoroughly investigated. It was not meant that the investigation should be conducted by the Governor alone, but that the grand juries in every county in the State should follow the examplo of that of Bibb county. The press of the State would render valuable service to tho people by uniting in urging tho legal authorities to take promjit action in this matter. The other day Mr. Prank Jones, of New Hampshire, visited New York. In regard to President Cleveland’s proposed visit to the Granite State Mr. Jones said to a reporter: “Now, let me tell you that there are three prominent and wealthy Democrats in New Hampshire by the name of Frank Jones. One lives in Concord, another in Farming ton, while the other Frank Jones, who is a splendid fellow and a thoroughbred Jack sonian, resides in Portsmouth. It is the Portsmouth Jones who would be tickled to death to have the President visit him.” When the report/'r asked, “Which of the Joneses are you?” the reply was: “Oh, lam the Portsmouth Jones.” Since the other two Joneses are good Democrats they must be splendid fellows, too. Gen. Buckner, the Demoerntio nominee for Governor of Kentucky, and Col. Brad ley, the Republican nominee for the same olHce, aro on very friendly terms. The former attended the convention which nom inated tho latter, and the latter accepted an invitation to call on “Betty and tho baby.” When Gen. Buckner is elected he will doubt loss invite Col. Bradley to witness tho in auguration ceremonies. Justice Woods, of tho Supremo Court, who is thought to be- dying at his residence in Washington, is credited to Georgia. At torney General Garland and John Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, ore each spoken of os his probable successor. Bltico Justice Woods is an Ohio mun, why shouldn't a native Georgian be appointed ns his Micronor? The day of Mr. Bluine’s departure for Eu rope has been definitely fixed. He will sail on June 8 ou the North German Lloyd steamship Etus. t< Svi. "ill > that his Prosi ,ul >K I CURRENT COMMENT. An Estimates of Dr. McCHynn.

SHAVED WITH SHARP SHELLS. The South Sea Barber and Hia Blood -13, nisln g, Hair-Scraping ftensils. The South Sea barber ia never at a loss for a shop or utensils, nor In one at a loss to And a barber where all aliko are capable or perpetrat ing a shave, hair cut and shampoo, the only dif ference being that some do it worse than others, according to a writer in tho San Francisco Ex aminer. His shop is always with him —all he wants is something for a seat—and as i:i operat ing he himself stands he does not feel the same lively repugnance that bis patient does to rest ing on a spray of coral. His soap he finds in the large fruit of a vine that grows everywhere in the bush and alongshore; broken open and dipped in water—salt or fresh is all one—it pro duces when rubbed upon the face a fine, creamy lather that looks all that could be desired, but which in fact is a vain delusion, as it cultivates no intimate acquaintance with the skin or hair. The shells on the beach aiTord that against, which he cuts when he is not gashing the tender skin of the white man; his shark’s-tooth razor 13 at hand, snuggly v,raped in a leaf and stowed in the perforation of one ear, the balance being re stored by carrying his pipe and tobaeco simi larly situated m the other. When the operation is over the lather is swabbed out of the mouth, eyes and other cavities with a wisp of grass, the ashes of another bunch of grass is carefully rubbed over tho face to prevent the hemorhage which seems inevitable to the victim, and finally head and face are washed with a shaddock as big as a cantaloupe, whereof a half is held in either hand of the operator and the head of the victim between. As an abstract fact in eco nomic botany it may be stated that the juice of this shaddock is not pleasant upon raw flesh. Sometimes the barber finds that relic that civilization always leaves upon the path over which it has passed, the broken bottle. Then he advances a step toward luxury in shaving, the acme of which is reached when he can use a piece of hoop iron. There is one good point about him, and that is that he does not talk; yet even this is blunted by the fact that lie usually sings monotonously. Some few words of his weird, wild and lonely chant as the hearer succeeds in catching, cause chills of the coldest kind to run up and down his back as he reflects that but a few years ago were the days when his barber, instead of shav ing, would have cheerfully engaged in dissecting him, with a view to settling the question of the dinner hour. HIS LILY OF THE VALLEY. A Bridegroom Startles Hotel Guests by His Efforts to Find His Wife. From the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. Not so very many days ago a couple—newly married—stoppod at the Ryan for the night. They hailed from somewhere in the valley of the Red District, and had money enough to make a small ripple in the city. Tho bride re tired early, but the groom, still feeling his oats, went out to see the town. He visited a number of the prominent resorts, and about midnight found himsel£ in the hotel elevator. Calmly transfixing the ‘'hoist” boy with his eye, he ad dressed him: “My boy ish, swhere’s my bridesh? Swhere's my turtle dove?” The boy, of course, could not answer him. But, finding ihe number of his room, he at tempted to take him there. ‘‘Kosher!” said the inebriate. “Ish—hie— waush shmy cooing dove. She's the roshesh of the valley, she is.” Everybody in the rooms along the hall was awake by this time and several heads peeped over the transoms. ‘‘She’s—a-a-a—hie—lambsh,” he continued, “a swan of the shea. Where’sb she? Thatsh what I want—hie—to know. Whosh stole my cuckoo from mesh?” Bv this time they were all at the door of his room. It suddenly opened, a hand and arm clothed in white was thrust out and the unfor tunate yanked in with a terrific jerk and this remark: ‘ Here’s your rose of Sharon and lily of the valley, you blamed old fool! Go to bed !” “Between You and I.” Miss Minerva van Boston's engagement is broken, She's returnee 1 to her lover each letter and token, They have had their last drive and their last friendly chat; And the rather remarkable reason why, Is because he would say “between vou and I;” And Minerva van Boston could not endure that. Of a very old family he was a scion, And the kind of a man it was safe to rely on. With a character no one would dare to im peach. And in fact, in every other respect His habits were perfect, his manners correct; Yet he (lid make this terrible error in speech! Miss Minerva van Boston has tried hard to break him, 1 She had reasoned in vain, ere she vowed to for sake him. She had been, as it were, ’twixt the fire and the hammer. She had talked to him kindly, firmlv, severely. And to tell the sad truth, she still loved him dearly; But dearer by far was her love for her gram mar. And to live with a man who was slightly de fective In the daily use of his pronouns objective, Would have caused Miss Minerva much an guish and worry. So with many regrets, and half broken-hearted, These lovers, poor things, have forever been parted By the shade of ridiculous old Bindley Mur ray i Bessie Chandler. Mrs. Maloney’s Tooth. From the Youth's Companion. Mrs. Maloney is greatly troubled with aching teeth, but has a mortal terror of the dentist. Lately she suffered so severely that she plucked up courage and went to the dentist to have the tooth drawn.. Entering the dentist's waiting room, she inquired anxiously of his assistant, “Is the docther in?” ‘‘No. He is out.” “Musha: But it's glad of that I am.” ‘‘But bo is likely to be in again at any moment.” "Bad loock till him! Sure, sorr, I've an im port'nt ingagemint, an' I think 1 11 he goin’ sorr, for—” Just at this moment the dentist came in.

You'd better go home until—” ‘‘An’ sure, sorr, an’ what am I after coinin’ for, but to have me tooth pulled? Have I the toime. thin, to be wastin, wid’ cornin’ an’ goin’, an’ all the toime cryin’ wid the pain? Sure, an’ ye w’u’dn’t be sendhin’ me home again widout the tooth pulled?” “You are very hard to please, Mrs. Maloney. Sit down, and I will pull tne tooth.” Here Sirs.

Two large Russian wolf hounds stood in Pat rick B. Egan's restaurant on Clinton and Uni versity places last evening. Two pieces of meat were thrown to the floor. The hounds made a break for them, but were stopped by the voice of their master, who shouted “Poison 1” The dogs stopped on the instant, and stood as though cast in metal. They eyed the meat in tently. but did not touch it. Tfion a cheery “All right,” came from the lipp of theidknaster, and the two chunks of meat disappeared. A minute afterward n man carelessly dropped a lighted match upon a newspaper. It was ablaze in an Instant. The dogs dashed to the scene and stamped on the fire until they put it out. At the request of their master they kissed each other. They kissed anybody who was was properly introduced, and gave ominous growls when anyone approached without the necessary introduction. The dogs weigh 13tl pounds. They stand inches high. They were from a litter of pups born near Kandy Ilook on the passage of the mother to Anieiloa. A wealthy Russian lumber denier, now a citizen of Wisconsin, was the first to introduce tho breed in America. Those dogs drive well in harness, and are owned byJ. .1. Mucready, an actor.

Joo Willett was swinging along at a lively rate, coming down Gurnee street from the inn. He liad had a got id .breakfast and was feeling pretty well thank you. As he stepped on the bridge which spans the mountain brook he encountered a boy with a bunch of tine, juicy frogs and a jaunty uir. “Kay, young man.” said the sweet singer, “how do you catcii them frogs?” (The Colonel is a little bit careless of his grammer when out of the presence of ladies ? “Jos run my han’ in under dr bunk an’ pull ’em out an’ kill 'em.” “But suppose you should catch hold of a snake; what would you dot" “Jos pull l-.lm out mi’ kill him.” was the philo sophic reply. ” Well, gentlemen that is a smart boy,” said tho Coloueh as ho strode rapidly away.

Eiffel's Tower of Babel, which has so outraged the artistic feelings of the painters and architects of Paris, have been laid. M. Eiffel laughs at the idea that iiis workmen will be unable, owing to giddiness, to go on with their toil when the iron building rises to a great height. They will have planks about 50 feet wide to walk upon, and will thus be as secure as if on terra firma. A Jamaica correspondent who has a “turn” for inquiring into matters that do not, as a rule, attract the attention of ordinary mortals, says he has discovered that, while all classes of the community of Kingston are well represented in the long list of the victims of small pox, there are very few, if any, cigarmakers.

Recent events on the frontier of France and Germany have called forth great displays of patriotism from all sorts of places and people. One of the most effervescent of the patriots is little Mine. Theo, the popular singer, who de lights the audience of a boulevard theatre by appearing on the stage in a costume which is as near an approach to the primitive simplicity of Eden as could be designed by a theatrical costumer. Theo was engaged by a Dutch im impresario, Herr Schurmann, to shed a little boulevard radiancy on the benighted inhabi tants of some of the European capitals. Ber lin was one of the first places mentioned by the impresario, but the idea of playing before her country's enemies threw her into partial hys terics and she vowed that she would never agree to sing and smile before a Teutonic audi ence. Herr Schurmann found himself accord ingly in a quandry, from wnich he has escaped, however, by a proposal to take the lady to sun ny Spain instead of the colder climate of the Teutonic Kaiserstadt. Snake charming, as it is styled, is not a par ticularly difficult thing to learn, an expert ties been telling a reporter, in connection with 1 is methods of teaching others to do the act that brings dowti the circus. He said: “First I teach them all about the life and habits of the snakes. There is a great deal in knowing the nature of snakes, particularly the position they get in when they are alxmt to strike. After they strike once they never get over it. When they once bite you they will try to do it again every chance they get. No we don’t give them any drug nor rub them quiet beforehand, as many people suppose. All that is necessary is to show them that you are not afraid of them. So, after tho woman gets con fidence in her work she can get along all right. I get tho snake I teach them with under controi and then allow the woman to begin to handle it. You see snakes have brains ns well as other ani mals. They never close their eyes, and watch all the time. After I put the snake in the • woman's hand, then I point out what positions the snake must be in and what positions the woman must be in to lift and handle it. Why, if you know how, when a snake is even in a striking attitude you eon lift it up and not be bitten.” The naval review, July 23, in honor of Queen Victoria's birthday, is to be the most imposing ever seen.
