Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. Henry George is sound on at least one question. “For myself,” he says, “I am in favor of free trade.” It is said that New York is taking the lead in the manufacture of beer. Chicago, Cincinnati and other Western cities will object to the statement. If the old world continues to pour its popu lation into the new it will not be long be fore the typical American will speak noth ing but broken English. If Dr. MeGlynn does not go to Rome within forty days he will lie excommuni cated. He refuses to say what he intends to do, but his friends believe that he will not go- There ought to be a strong bond of sym pathy between Mr. James Russell Lowell and the Canadians who tried to kill Editor O’Brien. They don’t like newspaper re porters. _ Senator Sherman doubtless wishes now that he had not gone to Cuba. He didn’t know that it would bo fashionable for Re publican Presidential candidates to go to Europe. The position of the Governor of South Carolina with reference to the Blackwood case is about this: “I'll make a fair swap, Gov. Gordon; give mo McNally and I’ll give you Blackwood. ” It is expected that during the coming summer 1,500,000 tons of ore will be sliippod from the Gogebic iron region in Wisconsin. This is a pretty good indication that the iron business is in good condition. Mayor Hewitt, of New York, says that ho is looking for an angel to appoint as Fire Commissioner. Them are angels of heaven and angels of the other place. Mayor Hew itt is doublcss looking for an angel of the Other plane. The New York World says that but two Philadelphia journalists in recent years havo tried to get into society, and their efforts, to the general satisfaction, havo been un successful. The World doubtless does not intend to reflect upon Philadelphia newspa per men. The latter generally go where (they please The Montgomery Advertiser has this: “A lady in Birmingham wrote to u lady friend in Montgomery to come up and spend a week with her. Among the other induce ments held out was this: ‘You can sit at my front window and see seven funerals go by every day.’” The Advertiser evidently moans to widen the breach Is-tween Mont gomery and Birmingham. Col. Scott Thornton, the eminent Atlanta tragedian, will soon make his debut •ns “Richelieu.” ‘The Capitol says that he will be assisted by his great beauty, an Atlanta lady, and by the Atlanta Dramatic Asso ciation. The Colonel’s “great beauty” ought to be enough to make his debut a suc cess without, the assistance of “an Atlanta lady ” anti the Dramatic Association. Queen Victoria's birthday on Tuesday seems to have been quite generally noticed. That was doubtless because this is the jubi lee year—the fiftieth year of her reign. She is 68 years of ape. ami promises to live sev eral years more. There are only three Eng lish sovereigns who had longer reigns than Queen Victoria’s. The reign of George 111. was the longest, being fifty-nine years. The widow of the late Alexander Mitchell, of Milwnukeo, Wis., will contest his will. Ho left, nearly all of his property to his son, John L. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell Icing granted an income of $50,000 a year during her life, $'510,000 in cash, and tho use of a Mjatlaiinl home in Milwaukee. Mrs. Mitchell Bli Florida. It is not known why she will OOBtest the will. The lawyers very naturally her intention with great favor. Berry Wall and half u .dozen other New 9j?p‘k dudes are visiting Boston. The tiny ■ftr-r they arrived the corridors of the hotel at&rtnch they stopi>ed were filled with Bos ton dudes eager to catch a glimpse of Berry. He, however, refused to show himself, say ing that “Boston is so fearfully provincial that one must really be exclusive, don’t you know, or the whole town will be calling on him.” It is presumed that the bean-caters Expensive Economy. Tho Legislatures of some of the States do not have a proper appreciation of the im portance of a well-organized militia. The Legislature of this State, for instance, has not shown the liberality in dealing with the militia thaf it ought. The appeals which the militia organizations have made for as sistance have not met with a generous re sponse. Missouri is now without an organized national guard. A few months ago she bad five regiments. Now she hasn't any. All have disbanded. They asked the Legislature to give them sso,tkK) a year to help meet their expenses, and it refused. The amount was certainly small enough. It would not begin to meet the actual expenses of the five regiments. When the militia bill was first rejected by the legislature the regiments indicated what their course would lie. The Governor ap pealed to them to wait and see if a recon sideration of the bill could not be obtained, and a different result secured. The appeal was granted, and the Legislature discussed the wholesubjeet again. A second time the bill was defeated in the lower branch of the Legislature—the last time by only three votes. The regiments decided to serve no longer a State which had so little apprecia tion of their services. Has not Missouri made a mistake, and a very grave one? It has only been a few months since there was a great labor riot within her borders. Other disturbances are not improbable. The time may come, and, that too, very soon when Missouri merchants and property owners will call loudly for help to enforce the laws anil pro tect their business and property. They will have to hire men to give them the needed protection They will then wish, perhaps, that they had instructed their representa tives in the Legislature to pursue a less parsimonious policy. The last Congress more than doubled the appropriation for militia purposes, and the indications are that the national policy with regard to the militia will continue to grow more liberal. The States, therefore, which refuse to aid their own militia to an extent sufficient to keep the military organizations together not only make a serious mistake, but are guilty of folly for which there Is no excuse whatever The majority of the Missouri Legislature must be made up of men of very small calibre. Their economy may prove to be very expensive. Vigilance Necessary. Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marino Hospital service, does not think that the two or three cases of yellow fever which have occurred at Key West within the last few days need occasion any serious alarm in that city. If the proper precautions are taken to get rid of the disease it may not spread beyond the'houses in whieh it has made its appearance, but if it is not handled properly an epidemic may follow. It is said that there is no doubt that the fever poison was brought to Key West re cently from Havana in some bedding. If this be true it shows how very necessary it is that the greatest precautions should lie taken to prevent the introduetion of the disease from infected ports. People who have tteen exjiosed to yellow- fever or cholera, and many masters of vessels from infected ports, will evade the quarantine regulations if they can. The bringing of a little in fected bedding from Havana may cause the loss of many lives at Key West and pnra lize the business 'of the city for months. Already there is a feeling of great insecurity there, and many have left the place. It will bo remembered that the cholera, that is now carrying off the people by hun dreds in South America, was introduced into Buenos Ayres by a vessel from an infected Italian port. The Captain of the vessel knew that he had cholera on liis ship, be cause ho had buried more than thirty of its victims on the voyage. He happened to have a rather imj>oi'tant person on board, who was anxious to land ns soon at possible, and so the fact of the existence of cholera on tho ship was concealed. The health officers of the different ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts have a great responsibility resting upon them, and if they fail in any respect in the discharge of their duties their negligence may open the way for a great calamity. The infected bedding that was taken to Key West from Havana was doubtless worth only a few dollars, and yet it lias already caused adani ago to that town of many thousands of dol lars. Every time anew Treasurer of the United States is appointed all the money in the Treasury lias to lie counted. Mr. Hyatt, the new Treasurer, took possession of his office yesterday, and a committee has been appointed to make the count, which was lx-gun Tuesday. The committee consists of Mr. E. B. Daskain, Chief of the Public Moneys Division, who represents Secretary Fairchild; Mi - . A. T. Huntington, of the Secretary's office, who represents Mr. Jor dan. the retiring Treasurer, and Mr. Charles H. Noble, of Connecticut, who represents Mr. Hyatt. The examination will involve an actual count of $ L1T,000,000 in paper money in the l-esorve vaults, $05,000,0(X) in the cash vault, $00,000,000 in standard silver dollars, $25, 000,0)0 in gold coin, and a smaller quantity of fractional silver. The committee in making the count will have the assistance of seventv-fivo persons, in cluding expert counters. The count can liardly Is- finished inside of two months. Evangelist George A. Barnes preached a sermon in Louisville on Sunday last, in the course of which he had much to say of “Jesus as a courtier.” The irreverence of some of the so-called evtfhgelists has becomo nauseating. They are as familiar with the name of the Deity as a eat is with its kittens. It is about time for church-going jieoplo to boycott tho mountebanks who travel through the country bringing reproach upon tho cause of Christianity by the out rageous lilierties they take with its founder. Mr. L. S. Robertson, of Boston, says: “All tnat there is of the New South to-day is Birmingham. Atlanta and Chattanooga are prosperous, but the growth is not to lie counted as a )>art of the development of the New South.” Mr. Robertson lias settled a perplexing question. Many people have long wanted to know the geographical position of the New South. If he is right, Birming ham is the New South and Atlanta, Chatta nooga and other Southern cities, together with the country districts, aro the Old South. All right, the Old South will try and worry along. The New York Graphic has found a white-haired Georgian who says that Presi dent Cleveland is a “mighty fine fellbw,” and that while he has made some members of his party hot because he will not allow himself to be led by tho nose by them, be is winning with the people every day. Tho white-haired Georgian is a sensible man. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1887. Cable’s Southern Lecture Tour. Some o’ the North Carolina papers do not view with favor Mr. George W. Cable’s pro posed lecture tour through that State. The Raleigh .Yea's and Observer thinks that his writings show a hostility to the South, and atti flutes this hostility to a desire to gain favor at the North. The Asheville Citizen is of the opiuion that, having cast his lot with the Nayth. he would show wisdom by staring away from the South. Mr. Cable Is not os popular in tlio South as he was when, as a resident of New Or leans, he first began to be known as a writerj His first stories, published under the title of “Old Cleole Days,” were well re ceived throughout the country. ( His subse quent and more pretentious literary work shows that his reputation as a writer is well deserved, but much of it appears to have been intended to suit Northern readers rather than to present truthful pictures of South ern character and affairs! It may be that Mr. Cable is sincere in all that he writes, and that the charge that ho panders to Northern prejudice for gain is not well founded. If he is sincere, but mistaken, he ought to be more zealous in trying to dis cover the truth. Being a Southern man what he writes about the South is accepted much more readily than if it were written by a Northern man. Asa Southern man his portrayals of Southern character and his statements of Southern affairs are ac cepted at the North as true, and if they are not true it is but natural that the Southern people should feel unkindly towards him. The Creoles claim that nothing like his Creole characters can bo found among the Creoles of Louisiana, and it is certain that some of his statements about the treatment of colored people in the South have been shown to lie not well founded. The aged Creole writer of New Orleans, Mr. Charles Gayane, is reported to have stated recently that Mi'. Cable admitted to him that he had never known intimately any of the Creole families of New Orleans, and hence cannot know much about the character or home life of the Creoles. In articles discussing the penitentiary sys tems of some of the Southern States Mr. Cable drew comparisons between the sen tences imposed upon white convicts and those upon colored, leaving the impression that judges dealt much more harshly with the latter than the former. The idea ap parently which he wished to bring out was that the colored people can’t get justice in the South. Several writers, at the time these articles appeared, pointed out important particulars in which he was mistaken. Mr. Cable has left New Orleans and has located in a Massachusetts town. The sur roundings there are doubtless very con genial to him. There is no fault to be found with him for making his home with people who sympathize with his views, but he ought not to expect that the people of the South, who feel that ho has misrepresented them, and hence done them an injury, will accord him a warm welcome when he comes among them asking them to patronize him as a lecturer. He will, of course, be ac corded courteous treatment, and his reputa tion as a writer may secure him fair audi ences, but it is doubtful if he receives many evidences of friendship or popularity.) Not a Candidate. • Attorney General Garland isrgit a can didate for the vacant place on tile Supreme Court bench, and would not afeejst at* ap pointment to it if it were offered to him. He does not underestimate the importanoeotf the place nor the high honor which attaches to it, but he says that he has made up his mind to retire from public office at the ex piration of his present term as Attorney General. The President knows of this determination, and hence, will not consider him in selecting a Supreme Court Justice. The fact that the President offered the Attorney General a place on the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that he still has the utmost confidence in him, notwith standing the bitterness of the attacks made upon him for his connection with the Pan- Electric business. There is no doubt that Mr. Garland would moke an able Judge, and that he would appear to better advant age on the Supreme bench than he did in Hie Senate or has done in the office of Attorney General. The attacks upon Mr. Garland on account of his connection with the Pan-Electric Tele phone scheme must have caused him much mental suffering. He is a proud and sonsntive man, and any reflection upon his integrity wounds him deeply. He pretends not to notice the bitter attacks which some of the newspapers have made upon him, but it is probable that pretty much all of them have been seen by him. That lie was indiscreet no one will deny, but that ho was guilty of intentional wrong doing in accepting the Pan-Electric stock only those who hate him for other reasons be lieve. Ho will not succeed the late Justice Woods, however, and his enemies will not have the opportunity to try and defeat him for that place by systematic attempts to blacken his character. Bath, Me,, is disturbed about the question of time. Payson Tucker, manager of the Maine Central railroad, adopted standard time, and, following his example, the Mayor of Bath ordered the city clock to l changed to suit the railroad time. Indignant pro tests arose on all sides. The citizens hold a public meeting mid unanimously resolved that they would stick to “the Lord's time and not to Payson Tucker’s.” The matter was referred to Chief Justice Peters, of the Supreme Court, who decided that Tucker and tiie Mayor were right. The citizens now pro] xwe to ask the legislature to interfere. Bath ought to adopt Savannah’s plan, which, though rather confusing to both strangers and home folks, leaves no room for anybody to rise up and howl. Senator John H. Reagan, of Texas, has been suggested as a candidate on four differ ent Presidential tickets to be put into tho field next year. They are tho following: Democratic ticket —Grover Cleveland, for President; John H. Reagan, for Vice Presi dent. Anti-Railway Corporation ticket— John H. Reagan, for President; Shelby M. Cullutn, for Vice President. Labor ticket— Henry George, for President; John 11. Rea gan, for Y'ice President. Prohibition ticket —John P. St. John, for President; John H. Reagan, for Vice President. Tho Senator will doubtless hold on to what he already has. A member of the General Assembly of Georgia wishes the State to erect a monu ment to the memory of Christopher Colum bus. “For,” says this Georgia Solon .“Co lumbus wai the one father of liis country that never told a lie, and a monument to his memory would remind the young thnt ‘honesty is better than an insurance policy.’ ” By all means let the monument be erected, and alongside of it let one be reared to the memory of George Washington, who dis covered how to make an egg bland oc end.

The Republican newspapers up there now have something to talk about liesides Southern rebels and Northern copperheads. They accept tho blessing, but with evident re luctance. Lincoln’s Little Boom. From the Philadelphia Press ißep.) The Presidency boom of Robert T. Lincoln still abides in its native State of Georgia, and so far it has wrought no destruction to the straw berry vines or asparagus sprouts. If it ever at tempts to move North vegetation will be so far advanced that no damage will ensue. “Rebel Jurists” and “Rebel Judges.” From the New Yoi-k Herald find.) Rut there arc no “rebel jurists" nor “rebel” judges now. The war ended long ago, and long ago its results were accented in good faith by the South. There has been no complaint and no ground for complaint against the judicial prin ciples generally affirmed by the Federal Dench in the South. Tho appointment of Southerners to that bench has been regular and proper; the appointment of Northern carpet-baggers would have been an abuse. A Double Benefit in Prospect. From the Washington Star Und.) Unflinching adherence to the pian of a general revocation of railroad indemnity land-with drawals, to which Secretary l.:imar is now com mitted, will open up to settlement a great body of public land which has long been improperly withheld from the people for the ttossible pros pective benefit of the railroads. If the settlers who are tempted to invade Indian Territory in advance of proper and necessary negotiations and agreements will permit themselves to be diverted to this newly opened territory, a double benefit will be gained.

The celerity with which a second marriage follows a divorce in many cases calls out con siderable comment. A Maine judge is credited with the following story: He was holding court at Machias when a man brought him a letter from a woman who had a divorce ease pending, asking when her ease would come on. The judge, thinking the man appeared anxious, also, said to him, jokingly, “I suppose you are going to marry her, ain’t you, when she gets her di vorce?” “Yes,” replied the man, candidly, that’s the calculation.”— ljewiston (Me.)

The Story of a Brave Southern Woman as Related by a Scout. A dispatch from Reidsville, N'. C., to the New York World says: "She was a beautiful woman and I have always wondered what mission she was on.” The speaker was Mr. Reid, who was a scout in the war under Gen. Early. “One morning in the valley,” he continued, “I was ordered by Lieut. Atwood, who was chief t cout, to report to Gen. Early for orders. 1 rode at once to headquarters, where I found a finely comparisoned steed with a lady's side sad dle on standing in front of the tent door. Gen. Early came out and simply said: 'You will go as escort to a lady; obey her orders.' "Soon a beautiful woman tripped forth, and leaping on the charger, set out in a gallop. I followed. We galloped fully eleven miles. Not a word was exchanged. That evening, when within a mile or two of the Potomac, I saw a large white farm house over to the left. Here the first word was spoken. Reining up she mo tioned me to halt, and said: “ ‘I will dismount and go to that house. Take the horses and conceal them in the woods; feed and curry them, and come to the house for your supper.’ She went on to the house and I did as I was ordered. After we hail supper she sig nalled me to leave, and I was soon out and hail the horses ready and waiting In the bend of the road. She was promptly on hand, and as be fore set off in a galiop. We rode all night long, silently, swiftly. As day dawned we left the public roads and took across the country. About 9a. nn, while going across an old field, my fair companion halted beside a broad, deep ditch and beckoned me to her. “ ‘Place these horses in that ditch and get in yourself and stay here until I comet to you,’ said she. She dismounted and I occupied the ditch as directed and saw her disappear through a thick sltirt of woods that fringed the edge of the field. I judged we were in the locality of Boons boro, Md. Tired and worn out I sooy fell asleep. It must have been late dinner time f when I was aroused by what seemed the very gifiund in a jar and rumble. I sprang from the ditch and crept to the woods and discovered that a plank road ran just parallel and that a very large force of Federals, artillery, w’agons, etc., was passing down it. I soon got back to the ditch, dreading discovery by bummers or stragglers, but I was ready to take care of them if not more than one or two had come. But none appeared. There I laid full an hear, when a light stop and the rust ling of a dress caught my ear, and looking up, there she stood. “ ‘Quick, bring out the horses,’ she said. Which I did. Then, mounting her own, she handed me a message sealed up in tissue paper, and said: ‘Give that to Gen. Earl}'.’ And away she went. That is the last of her I ever heard or knew, sometimes it crosses me as a dream in fairyland, and I wonder who she was and where she is—but that is all. I took my time getting back and drew a long breath of relief when I st ruck the Virginia side. When I sa luted and handed her message to Gen. Early he read it and said to his orderly: ‘Give this man something to eat and have his horse fed.’ ” True, Though Remarkable. From the Dakota Sell. “Yes, I’m from Dakota,” he said meekly, as he got into a conversation with a man on an Eastern train. "Ah, is that so? lam thinking of going out there myself to invest in some farming land.” “We have some very fine land." "So I understand—but are not some of the stories they tell of its fertility exaggerated?” “Why, my friend, I am sorry to say some of them are downright untruths.’’ "That’s what I thought. Now, what is the most remarkable instance of the fertility of Da kota soil which ever came under your observa tion?” “Well, I believe the case of my pump might go at the head of the list.” "What was it?” “I dug a well about forty feet deep the first season I was there and put down a wooden pump. It happened that it was made out of a small cottonwood log which was a little green, and the soil at the bottom of that well, forty feet from the surface, was so fertile that that pump took root, and it also grew up and branched out, and, now, while my children play in a swing attached to one of the branches I pump w ater through the hole which still re mains in the t rank. “Do you tell that for the truth?" "Why, certainly sir, I never tell anything but the truth.” “Are you engaged in farming or the real estate business?' “Why I’m engaged in neither, my friend, neither. I’m a preacher.

It was in a Boston public school, and the teacher had been reading a story or two, which the pupils, as a literary exercise, were to retell, in writing, from memory. One of the stories was the tale of Robert Bruce atid the spider, and the teacher read it as follows: "Persever ance. It is said that King Robert Bruce noticed a spider near his Ited try six times unsuccess fully to attach liis thread to a balk, falling down each time it tried, and said: ‘Now shall this spider teach me what I am to do, for I also have failed six times.’ The spider made a seventh effort and succeeded. Brace also succeeded, and never afterward sustained a defeat of sny moment, seeing how foolish he had been to despair even at repeated failure." And one of her pupils thereupon proceeded to write her version of the story, which was as follows: “Perseverance. King Brace started out to do some great thing and didn't succeed. So he tried and he was thrown down every time he tried to get up and he could not, he tried five times at last lie got up. An l a spider came along and jumped around him when he was down and the spider stood around him all the time until he got up. The King said to himself: What u foolish thing he was.” He Knew All About It. From the Boston Transcript. A story Is told of the Hon. Janies N. Bnflfnm, of Lynn, who celebrated bis 80th birthday Monday, which, if it is not true, is “well found/’ os the Italians say Rome yea rs ago Mr. Ruffum attend 'd a political 'convention at Worcester, and, like all earnest delegates, went up the night l>efore. She gas fixtures in the room assigned to Mr. Buffum not being in a satisfactory con dition, he went down to the office and requested to lie supplied with a candle The cleric, after somo time had lieen spent in hunting up a can dle, patronizingly explained the ois-ratlons of lighting and extinguishing the gas. “You turn the thumb piece toward you," said the clerk, "when you light it, and then apply the lighted match to the rllt. or little hole In the cap of the burner, when you wish to put out the gas turn the thumb piece hock. But never blow out the fiaine." "Thank you." rejoined Mr. Buffum, as he took the candle, which had now arrived. “Your di rections aro very clear, and I’m much obliged. They are not part icularly novel to me. however, for I have been for many years a director of a gas company." A Retort by Archbishop Hughes, From the Philadelphia Fews. During tlje war llots in New York Archbishop Hughes, the then Catholic prolate of the dio cese, was untiring in his efforts to assist the city -i restoring order and this *.••• vice met with distinguished recognition. He one day enme upon a crowd of young men who were being incited to violence oy a rotund fe male with a waist as big as an elephant. The clergyman made a glowing speech to the men. remarking that tnelr place in that hour was on the battlefield, fighting for their coun try. “Yes." shouted tne corpulent woman, "and leave us poor wotnon to starve!" "Woman, ' answered the prelate, pointing to his wasted form, "who looks most starved—yon or I?" A mar of laughter followed and the crowd dispersed. One of the Archbishop's tiarty complimented him upon bis ready wit. ‘‘l de serve no urai<s” was his answer. "It is history repsatlng itself. An Incident exactly Use this once hauntuied to Napoleon-" ITEMS OF INTEREST. Either Yankton county. Dak., is very moral or the laws are poorly executed. The county jail, used for both county and United States offenders, has not a prisoner within its walls. TnE Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com pany is having built at its shops 100 iron tubular cars. These are said to weigh less than wooden cars of the same dimensions and to have a carrying capacity of 60,000 pounds. There are said to be about sixty Protestant communities in Spain with 14,000 openly pro fessed Protestants, and hardly a large town without a regularly organized church. It is just eighteen years since the first Protestant chapel was opened in Madrid. The parchment commission of President An drew Jackson to Com. Charles Stewart (“Old Ironsides ’), grandfather of Charles Stewart Par nell. has been received by the Irish leader lrom Pay Director Cunningham, of the United States army. The first initial of the President's signa ture is said to be three inches long. A Boors United States army officer has been flourishing in New Bedford, Mass., where he gave numerous orders to tailors, shoe dealers and other merchants to have goods delivered to various places, and gave as security fraudulent drafts on army paymasters. He even began to recruit a gang of men for work on a fort, and from one of these he received $2 change on a , bogus check. Sixty-eight years ago five English gentlemen in a tavern at Baltimore organized the order of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. To-day it numbers in the United States over 500,000 members. It has disbursed since its organiza tion §41,000,000 in relief to members, and ex pended in various ways for the prosecution of its work §110,01X1,000 and has never been more prosperous than now. A Texas editor announces himself as follows: “We were born on the Texas frontier, have been reared on the broad prairie; have plowed, herded cattle, kept store, ran a mill, practiced physic, lectured on phrenology, eclifea a news paper and ran a drug store, but we have never been whipped, and when any person undertakes it he will be pretty certain to regret it till he dies, ‘plase God, ’ as the Irishman said, ‘that he lives that long.’ We can be slandered, cursed, abused and ridiculed, but we draw the line at being whipped.” Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett has decided views upon the appearance of the portraits of authors and prominent persons in newspapers and magazines. To a correspondent who recent ly solicited a copy of a portrait of herself for publication in a magazine, the authoress wrote: "Thcx-e Is nothing more painful to contemplate than a picture of oneself in a book or news paper. If one is a beauty one’s reputation is instantly destroyed, and if one cannot afford to have any perccentage taken off ones good looks, the consequences are that one’s secret hopes are blasted, and one’s most timid aud modest confi dence in oneself forever a rain.” Gov. Larrabee, of lowa, recently declared that prohibition had worked a wonderful im provement in the moral and material condition of the people. The official compilation of crimi nal returns for 1880 7 made to the Secretary of State tells a different story. In the entire State last year the number of convictions all told was 1.839, this year it is 1,645. Last yearthe number sent to the county jails was 139, this year it is 188. The total amount of fines imposed by the District Court last year was $75,581 43: this year it is $117,624 40. Total expenses on account of criminal prosecutions (including District Attor neys' fees) last year, $139,582 09; this year, §452,618 18. The steamships Arizona, of the Guion Line, and Servia, of the Cunard Line, which left Queenstown about the same time, May 8, ar rived on Monday in New York within an hour of each other, During the entire voyage the two kept constantly in sight of each other. By night each other’s lights could always be seen, and at day either the spars or smoke of one vessel could be seen from the decks of the other steam er. The passengers on the Servia were constant ly watching the Arizona, which they hoped to leave behind, while the people on the rival boat regarded the Servia with similar interest. Such close rivalry between ocean grey hounds during a voyage has never oceured before. Reducers are sometimes rather queer, but a remarkable queer specimen visited Fair Haven, Conn., Monday. He was a little Englishman and was selling dry goods. The lady of one, house refused to buy from him, when immedi ately his face lengthened and he set up a dismal howl. At first his antics made the lady laugh, but he kept up his howling until she offered to buy 10c. worth in order to get rid of him. No, he wanted her to invest 25e. and no less, and he again began to bawl and kick like a spoiled child. He refused to compromise even on 20c., and the lady, seeing that arbitration was impos sible, was finally compelled to buy a quarter’s worth. The i>eddler then [lacked up and left. The following is the analysis of an orange purchased in the Boston market and analyzed for the Journal of Chemistry: The skin weighed 67.5 grams, which is 23.53 per cent. The seeds weighed 6 grams, which is 2.84 per cent. The pulp weighed 182 grams, which is 73.83 per cent.

Twenty-three years ago Sam B. Putlow, a resident of Southampton county, Va., caught a catfish measuring 7 inches in length, which he put in a well on his premises used for watering his horses. The catfish has been living there in that well ever sri :e until a few days ago, when he was found dead floating upon the water. He was drawn up and measured again by Mr. Putlow,measuring at this time inches. The fish has had no other sustenance than what animal cule was in the water. During his stav in the well he has been drawn up several times by the bucket and put back again About two weeks ago a young lady living in Mr. Putiow’s familv, sympathizing with the fish, knowing his need of food, began to feed him with bread. It has been said by some that this (giving him bread) caused his death. Joseph Pareau, a Frenchman, who left his family in Norwich, Conn., that long ago. has just found his wife and children in North Adams, Mass., where they moved twelve years ego and by working at the shoe factories "man aged to make a living. Two of the children have died during the twenty years, anil the family gave lip all hopes of seeing the father again. Pareau went to sea and has been a sailor ever since on vessels belonging to the Royal Steamship Company. He wrote frequently to his family at Norwich, but his letters never reached them, and he had given up all hope of seeing them again. White in Montreal this week he saw the notice of the funeral of one of his old acquaintances at North Adams and de cided to attend the services. He then learned the whereabouts of his family.. On M. Eichniger’s farm in the township of Clear Lake, 8 or 10 miles from Gary, Dak., were several small mounds, suppesed to be Indian graves. A few days ago one of these mounds was opened. A human skull was found and a bronze medal bearing on its face naval emblems, and apparently once worn by a marine. The I ace side of the ■ medal is block, and embossed on the face were an anchor and cable, wound around the stock and shank, and across and behind the shank a large cannon. The medal is nearly square, with elongated comers, and measures from comer to corner 11$ Inches. The back is a bronze color. These mounds will in I lie near future Is: opened and examined. They art* not near the route taken by Little Crow when be was driven by the whites in 1801 from the gulch on Florida creek to the Little Crow woods, Some time ago the Massachusetts Legislature appropriated SIO,OOO to provide for the erection of a monument to Crispus Attucks, Samuel Gray, Jonas Caldwell, Samuel Maverick, Patrick Carr and other men who were killed in Boston on March (1, 1770, on the occasion known as the "Boston massacre.” It was done at the request ib' cert m:i promii -d colored men, who laid that the colored people wanted tills "recognition.” They got it ns far as the Legislature was con cerned. Then tli Massachusetts Historical So ciety must put Its nose in, and ut u recent meet ing it was declared that the proposed monument was a waste of the public treasure; that these men were rioters, not patriots: that a jury of Boston citizens acquitted the soldiers, who were de"ended by John A lam < and Josinh Quincy. The society voted that it heard with regret of the proposal to erect tbe monument, and said that li believed that nothing but a ntisapprlhen siou of the event styled the Boston massacre could have led to classifying these persons with t hose entitled to grateful recognition ut the pub lie expen-e.
