Fersons leaving the city for the summer ran have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at the rate of 25c. a week, (1 for a month or $2 .50 for throe months, cash Invariably in ail vaneo. The address may be changed as often as desired. In directing a change care should bo taken to mention the old as well mu the new address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while away should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Sixtcial attention will lie given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. People who are ordinarily cool and col lected are warm and scattered just now. The Republican party ought to change its shirt. The bloody shirt has been worn out by too much waving. The politician that needs an indorsement is losing his power. It is this that makes Senator .Sherman sad. President Cleveland doesn’t like special trains. He is right. The President ought to travel just as other people do. The Empire State of the South is still ahead. Smithville, Ga., takes the palm as the hottest place in the United States. The hot weather is not without its charms. A veracious citizen of Savannah says that the cats have suspended their midnight con certs. H. Rider Haggard’s last book is abused by the critics and read by the millions. lie ought to feel very friendly toward the critics. It is said that the dude is disappearing. He ought not to have any tiifliculty in doing so. He is small enough to get out of sight quickly. Nothing is more axasperaliug than the eKort of a “cool wave” to materialize while the mercury iu the thermometer is high up in tho nineties. The Sultan of Turkey has turned editor. Perhaps he thinks firing pajxir balls at Eng land inay be more effective than tiring ctui nou balls at her. The wino room, as operated in Atlanta, appears to be an active recruiting agency for the chain-gang. Tho wine room ought to be suppressed. At Middletown, N. Y., the other day, a girl met her death while eating |ieanuts. Members of the General Assembly {should heed the warning. Small men are generally the first to ex press themselves on public qnestlons. They knr >w nobody will listen to them when the giants of the country liegin to talk. It is time for Henry George to make another convert. Without some such sensa tion the dollars will ooa.se to flow into the coffers of the Anti-Poverty Society. European affairs am becoming more in volved every day. It is not unlikely that Germany and France and England, Turkey and Russia will soon be engaged in war. It is hinted that Gen. Fairchild and his three palsies are jealous of I)r. McGlynn. Asa sensation the latter proves to have better staying qualities than the former. Roscoe Gonkling seems to lie more popu lar in New York than ever before. When ever he makes a law speech, even of tho most trivial character, people crowd to hear him. Just before leaving New York for the Catskills mountains, the other day. Jay Gould invested fl‘J in fishing tackle. No doubt he will fish for suckers, just os ho has boon doing all his life. Mile. Aimoe. once well known as an opera •xmffe singer, lias been suffering with a severe affection of the lungs. Hhe doesn't mean to quit the stage, however, as long as she can kick and Americans nave dollars. Tho Presidential candnlato who finds it necessary to go to Europe in order to at tract attention is what the preachers call a man who doesn't attend to his church duties. He is a “weak brother.” It is ol*er\ed that many North Geor gians arc seeking the coast to ovoid tho heat. They are quite right. Tho mercury lias not yet climbed up us high on the coast as it Ims in North Georgia. Halt air, too, is healthy all the year round. Fourteen iron companies in the Gogebic Iron range of Wisconsin, have leoii consoli dated. Now-a-days consolidation is tho order in all interests. The advice of Dennis Kearny, the once famous sand lot orator of Han Francisco, to “pool your issues.” is being accepted by capitalists os well as laborers. The Color Liuo in Schools. Representative Glenn’s bill requiring white children and colored children to lie educated in separate schools is attracting considerable attention not only in Iho State but outside of it. That the bill is n K*x*l one there is no doubt, and that it ought to become a law will be generally admitted. It jssssesses nothing new. It simply provides I the machinery for carrying into effect tho organic law of the State. The public schools although notns good as the people would like to have them, are steadily improving, and in the course of a few years they will compare favorably with those of any other State. They are support ed almost wholly by the white people anil are willingly supported. They would lie greatly improved at once if the people could afford the means to improve them. It is a source of satisfaction that they have so strong a hold upon the good will of all classes, and that the sentiment in favor of steadily improving them is strengthening. The importance of main taining the present harmonious and favor able feeling with regard to them is apparent to all sincere friends of public education. If the impression once gets abroad that the outcome of the public school system will be the education of white and colored children in the same schools a hostile feeling to the system will at once manifest itself, and if it should not prove to be strong enough to de stroy the system there is good reason for thinking that it would seriously cripple it. Efforts would Ixi made to withhold Slate aid, and to bring the system into disrepute. The colored people have two universities at Atlanta which are aided hy the State, and which arc well patronized. They are satisfied with them and are taking ailvan tage of tho educational facilities which they offer. They do not ask admission into the State University where white youths are educated, and there is no reason why white students should be thrust into the colored universities. They have not attempted to cross the line of separation between the two races which the constitution draws, and the white people ought not to lie permitted to cross it. It seems that the students which have 1 ccu admitted into.the colored universities are children of the professors of those uni versities, and the excuse they give for placing them there is that they wanted to have them under their own direction and influence. The excuse is not a good one. They knew that the policy in this State, clearly defined in the constitution, was to keep the white and colored students sepa rate, and they ought to have respected it. If their views were contrary to that policy they ought to have resigned and sought em ployment where a policy prevailed that was in harmony with their approval. Representative Glenn’s bill does not dis criminate against tho colored jieopli'. It simply means that for the good of both the white and black races, the children of the two races shall lx educated in separate schools, and that the educational facilities provided for one race shall be as satisfactory as those provided for the other race. No- Ixxly can pretend to s)x>nk for the far fu ture, but tboso who control the affairs of the present are clearly of the opinion that it is wise to make the line of demarkatiqn be tween the white and black races very dis tinct. Prohibition in Kansas. Quite an interesting discussson is going on between the anti-Prohibitionists of Kansas and the Governor of that State as to w hether prohibition has bellied or hurt the State. The anti-Prohibitionists lately pub lished a statement showing that prohibition hail greatly increased the burdens of the tax payers without restricting the sale of in toxicating liquors, and that, in consequence, immigration hail fallen off and investments in certain kinds of improvements had ton great extent ceased. The Governor meets these statements with an emphatic denial, and insists that the State w as never so pros perous as at present, and that the saloon business has practically ceased to exist. - It is more than probable that the Gov ernor state's the situation correctly. It may be true that the drug stores sell a groat deal more whisky now than they did before the saloons were closed, but it will have to bo admitted that there is a noticeable absence of drunkenness in the State and t hat crimes which can lie traced directly to whisky are much less numerous than liefore the adop tion of prohibition. The fact is that the great majority of those who are addicted to the use of intoxi cating liquors arc ready to admit that the drinking habit is a very harmful one, and that it is pretty certain to lead to poverty and misery. If it were not for their ability to get yhisky whenever they want it they would soon abandon the habit alto gether. When whisky is brought to their very doors, as it were, they cannot resist the temptation to drink it. It is probably safe to say that the most of the Kansas whisky drinkers are glad that prohibition is in force there, and they would lie glad, also, if whisky were not placed within their reach by druggists. Tho parties in Kansas who are trying to make it appear that the Stats- is going backward because of the pro hibition legislation will, eventually, have to admit that they were mistaken. They uro mainly saloon keepers, doubtless, who are trying to get up a sentiment in favor of the repeal of the prohibition law. They will find they have undertaken a much greater task than they hail any idea of. A few days ago a statement was widely circulated that the city of Atchison, Kan., had cut off the city’s water supply, turned off the gas and reduced the police force be cause, owing to the loss of revenue from sa loon licenses, it hadn’t enough money to maintain these things. The Mayor of Atch ison denied the statement aUmt the gas and the water, but admitted thut the police force had been reduced. Tho reduction of the force, however, was due to the fact that the Rulixins having been closed there was such a decrease in crime that so large a force was not needed as when whisky was free. Prohibition will attract, not drive immi grants away feign Kansas. It means more school houses and church houses, and the best class of immigrants always go where these things are to lie found. The assertion that prohibition is ruining the State is cer tainly' a grave mistake, and it is also a mis take to assert that the burdens of tho tax payers are greater now than they were before prohibition went into effect. The suloous no longer exist, but the lurgo sums which they paid into tho treasury are more than equalisl by the saving that has been brought about by tho decrease that has been effected in the cost of convicting criminals. The criminal record is small and unimportant in com parison with what it was before the law against the froc sale of whisky was enacted. The people of Kansas apjiear to know wlmt they' are about and they are pretty certain to stick to prohibition. THE MORNING NEWS: TITERS DAY, JULY 21, 1887. , Tho Sentiment All One Way. There is no division of sentiment at tho South respecting the advisability of renomi iiatiug Mr. Cleveland, and there appears to oc hut very' little opposition to his ronomi nation at Va North. A day or two ago Henry Wattew/n, or Kentucky, iu an in terview in the Herald, said that as far as he was able to judge the South was solid lor Mr. Cleveland, and Senator Eustis, of l/iiiisiana, in ail interview in the Boston !U raid last week, declared that every South ern delegation would be for him. Not many months ago Mr. Watterson had a goixl deal of fault to find with Mr. Cleve land in the columns of his pajxir. but he soon discovered apparently that his fault finding wav not appreciated, and he is now one of the President’s most pronounced ad rnirers. Senator Eustis also was hostile to the President until within tho last few months. The ground of his hostility was his failue to control any of the Federal appointments in Louisiana. The Democratic party of that State is composed of two factions, and they are rather bitter toward each other. Sena tor Eustis is a leader of the stronger faction, and he was very much aggrieved because tho President gave all the offices to the weaker one. He did a good deal of talking that was not com plimentary to the administration, but he has nothing to say against the President now. In fact, he gives him an emphatic indorse ment,. Tho Senator is a man of marked ability and great influence, and his changed tone towards the administration will help the President at the North as well as at the South. The present outlook is that Mr. Cleveland will be renominated without op position. anil that he will stand upon a plat form so emphatically in favor of tariff re-, form that thero will lx? no chance for the protect ionists to construe it so as to favor their views. No Color Line in England. The World's London correspondent says that colored people are apparently popular in England. He has not been able to see any prejudice against them there. The few that he has seen were in company with white people and associating with them on terms of equality. lie saw a coal black ne gro girl leaning upon the arm of a fashiona bly dressed Englishman walking along Re gent street anil the Englishman appeared to be enjoying himself. He also saw white women, respectable in appearance and dress, leaning upon tho arms of negro men. This correspondent does not appear to have heard of the refusal of the King of the HolgiaiLs to take Kapiolani, the Hawaiian Queen, in to the jubilee din ner because she was black, although not a negro. No doubt there is very little prejudice against the negro in England because only a few are seen there, and those of the most refined type, but it is probable that preju dice would crop out if about a million col iiris 1 folks from the cotton fields and tur pentine farms should make their appear ance there. As they improved the preju dice might ilisapjxiar, but it is pretty cer tain they would be discriminated against at flint. Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, thus ranks tho Republican candidates for the Presi dency: Blaine, of Maine, first; Sherman, of Ohio, second; Allison, of lowa, third. There are a few dark horses, but they have not yet been sufficiently groomed to be trotted out.. Of course Senator Sabin has reference to the favor with which the candidates he names will lie received by tho nominating convention. He is too wise to lielieve that any of them has a chance to be elected. Mr. Travis Van Buren, a grandson of President Van Buren, is figuring quite prominently in New York society. He backed Pierre Lorillard’s Iroquois to win the Derby, and taking the long odds of 40 to 1, he landed 5510,000 on the event. Most of his associates won their money in Wall street but they feel that Van Buren is a gentleman, nevertheless, for they are aware that gambling is gambling, whether at a horse race or in Wall street. Mr. B. W. Wrenn, General Passenger ami Ticket Agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, tolls a re porter of a New York pai>er that all tho Southern railroads are prosperous, and their business is continually on the increase. He thinks the l mom of tho Southern railroads will greatly benefit Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Mr. Wrenn sjieaks by the card. Says the New York Times: "The hopeful contingent of Southern Brigadiers that has been cutting more or less of a figure in the stock market for the past year or so Ims organized a little bobtailed bull pool in Richmond Terminal. The prospect is that they won’t have much difficulty in accumu lating what stock they want to operate on.” Georgians will wonder what the Times means. At Plymouth, Mass., the other day n hotel register bore the following unique inscrip tion: “Mrs. A. P. Wyman and grandson, grandson’s aunt, aunt’s sister, sister’s brother-in-law, brother-in law’s daughter, daughter s aunt, aunt’s sister, sister’s broth er, and brother’s wife.” The hotel clerk has doubtless become a lunatic trying to de termine how ninny wore in the party. The Secretary of Wor seems to bo under the impression that the volunteer soldiers of Georgia can l>o crowded into fifteen tents. His mistake, no doubt, is duo to the treat ment of the soldiers by tho General Assem bly. That body’s neglect of them quite naturally creates tho impression outside of tin* State thf.t they aro too small in number to be of any importance. The New York Tribune has a corre s|H)iident in Atlanta who is distorting the Governor's message about the co-education of the races at the Atlanta University to suit Republican campaign purposes, it is distortion that tho !Tribune wants, for the truth would injure its party’s prospects. The Athens Ba nner-Watch man an nounces that elections under the local option law will be held in Savannah. Augusta, Macon and Columbus next winter on the same day. This may !>e a mistake, but there is no doubt that the Prohibitionists in tho cities mentioned are quite active. In marrying, Secretary Lamar’s daugh ter follows tho good example set by her father. She doesn't change her name, since her husband is a Latnar, but in this she also follows the example of her father. Geor gians will unite, figuratively, in throwing the proverbial old shoo after her. Tho Now York "Times says: “All the Southern stocks show new life.” Of course they do. Everything connected with tho South is showing new life. Even the old fogies are keeping one eye open and occa sionally moving forward a little. CURRENT COMMENT. The Country Is Prosperous. From the New York World <Dem. ) The people have seen that under a Democratic a/1 ministrati on the country is prosperous. The bugaboo of Democratic treason and destruc tiveness is laid at rest forever. As To Preachers. From the Boston Herald ( Ind .) Tho New York Sun remarks that “Grover Cleveland was really born to be a preacher." This is because the heathen rage at him so. we suppose. He has read the Sun some hard ser mons. for which, if it had a better heart, it would be grateful. Hut tin* Sun has not liked preachers since the day when, according to its own testimony, a preacher was tie* means of defeating the candidate whom it hoped to have elected to the Presidency. Tired of Dr. McGlynn. From the Philadelphia Record(Dem.) The McGlynn literature is heginniug to 1* tiresome. Tho church has excommunicated Mc- Glynn for disobedience of the command to go to Rome and explain himself. He avers, on the contrary, that he has been pushed aside for the promulgation of political principles of which the church does not approve. A dispute in which the disputants do not agree as to the main facts is liable to l>e endless as well as useless. The public are already surfeited with this matter, and are looking ahead for something newer and livelier. A Suggestion to the Postmaster Gen eral. From the Washington Star (Ind.) While the Postmaster General is doing his summer thinking iu preparation for liis winter campaign, he might address his mind to the subject of an international special delivery sys tem. If arrangemenus could be made with all the countries in the postal union to provide for the instant delivery of letters bearing a part icu lar stamp, it would be a great convenience to the business community. At all events, our im mediate neighbors on Hie north and south might he brought into a convention of this sort with marked advantage. BRIGHT BITS.

A Richmond dispatch to the New York World says: The barge Lizzie Wallace arrived at the Richmond and Danville dock on Friday with 200 tons of old iron consigned to the Old Dominion Iron and Nail Works. This iron is what may i><* called the remains of the Confederate gunboat Virginia, formerly the United States steamship Merrimac, which encountered the Monitor in Hampton Roads during the late war, causing one of the most memorable naval engagements of modern times, The Monitor was disabled and hauled off and the Merrimac returned toward Norfolk, but was never in active service after ward. She was afterward named the Virginia. The armor plat** was laid aside at the Gosport navy yard m Portsmouth, after she was blown up by the Confederates, and remained there until a day or two ago when all of it was placed on the Wallace to b* brought to Richmond. It was sold recently its scrap iron to a Northern gentleman who subsequently sold it to the Old Dominion Iron ami Nail Works. It will be taken to Belle Isle and converted into nails. Much of the armor plate shows signs of having passed through a severe cannonading and there are numbers of small pieces well suited to be pre served as relics of the celebrated engagement.

From the Boston Post. Guest (dining “upstairs at Revere House to English waiter) —Daniel Webster has dined in this hall. He has made speeches here. English waiter (anxious to keep up a pleasant conversation and earn a tip) -Yes, sir; there was some talk of him here this morning, sir. (luest—lndeed! What was said of him ? English waiter (considerably taken back, ami exciting the guest’s suspicion that his remark had been a bold, venturesome mendacity)— Well, sir, 1 don't know as I could tell you what was said —but there was some talk of him, sir. Guest devotes himself to his tenderloin and re mains silent. English waiter (distressed by the miscarriage of the conversation, starts on a new* tack)—Mr Webster must be getting along pretty well in years now, sir. Guest (“catches on”)—Yes, I shouldn't won der if he dropped off very soon. English waiter (delighted at the auspicious re newal of the conversation) —Yes, sir: yes, sir, all the great men are dropping off nowadays. Guest Have you heard anything recently in regard to Mr. Webster's health? English waiter (doubtfully)—No, sir; nothing except what I set* on the bulletins. When 1 get off at 3 o'clock I will see the bulletins again. Guest—You must Ik* sure to keep an eye on the bulletin. Mr. Webster is a great man, and his dropping off this year will create a great sensation. , English waiter—l know it will, sir; I know it will. Waiter scores a tip and guest departs with a beaming countenance, which legitimately ac companies the bestowal of a lieneraction. Laughing: at the “Boulanger” March. From the New York Tribune. He was a German musician, and he smiled as helistened to the “Revenant de la Revue" at Coley Is laud yesterday. “Wliat a happy hit,” he said, “so like the hero that the French glo rify in singing it: An opera bouffe air, no better anu no worse than a hundred marches that have gone before it—a silly chanson such as you can hear any night in the cafes of the Champs Ely sees. Talk about a national hymn?- why a bar, any bar, of *La Marseillaise’ is worth a mountain of such rubbish. But the tune is catchy, and it will become a nuisance even here. And such a nuisance! Fortunately it can't last. The people who sing and whistle it once will l>e haunted by’ it for a day, and then it will make them sicker than ever ‘Punch Brothers' made Mark Twain. It's worse than an emetic; you'll see people running away from it soon. The ‘Song of tlie Colonel’ in Li Femm a Papa' is a mira cle of music compared with it. Wnat a poor re frain! the music even worse than tne words!" “Then why do you call it a happy hit?” “Because it reflects the Boulanger movement to the life. It's all silly comedy, all the un thinking noise of the ignorant rabble. There's no horn* or sinew in it. When a patriotic people have a cause at heart they don't sing variety show couplets. leur sang impur abreuvo nos sillous” ‘Nourjr pour la patrie. e'est le sort le plus beau, le plus digue d' envie!'--that's the sen t of sentiment for uprisings of pith and mo ment. The popularity of ‘ln Ravenaut' is a ghastly joke on Boulanger. Last year he hail an official version of ‘La Marseillaeis' issued so that it might be played alike all through the French army, and then he formally adopted the hymn of the Girondists, ‘Mourir pour la Patrie.’ as a national song also, lie wanted to use music to stir up the French against the Germans, and now his supporters forget the songs of the Red Republican, and rush about Paris singing: ‘D’abord moi i'portnis les pruneaux Avaituu tet de veau, Ma till' son chocolat Et ma soeur deux oeufssur le plat. “And they fancy they can frighten ]>eople who sing “Dio Wacbt am Rhein.' Isn't it funnier than a circus, funnier even than Boulanger s duel?" The Pourboire. Ports Letter to the San Francisco Chronicle. Some Americans when they first- come over “kick against the pricks," but that is all non sense. If you want to be made uncomfortable you have only to avoid the custom. It will soon be known that you are resisting local customs. Then the gurcons will keep you waiting, will serve you flat beer, cold soup and tough meats. If you uegiect the pourboire at the barber's I advise you never to go then* again. If you do you will be shaved with a dtdl razor, your hair will be badly cut and your whiskers ruined.

Finally, very angry and much annoyed at your self for ever having cotne to Paris, you slip past the proprietor mid domestics of the hotel, who have lieen listening to (he rultlan abusing you. and when you reach your room you say to the wife of your bosom, Ihe mother of your children and the endurer of your nightly snor ing: “Catharine, I'm dee deo'd If I don't wish we had never eome abroad, and If you'll get ready we'll start for home to-morrow." Then will the dear, good woman reply unto you: "John, dear, don't you think it will save us all that trouble if you’ll only give the cabman r>c. extra the next time one of them fetches us liaek to the hotel?” "But the principle of the thing, my love; I ob ject to ft on principle.” "Yes, 1 know you do, dear; but we didn't come abroad to air our principles, did we? Wo came to Paris to enjoy ourselves " "Yes, blit ” "Please don't interrupt me. As I was saying, to enjoy ourselves. We have been to the Louvre, to the Louxetnbourg, to the Hotel Cluuy and to other places, and renllv we have been very happy since our arrival." ,! Yos, that is true, Kate. [Kisses her.] For give my petulance. Hereafter I'll give every body a pourboire for everything. Wo are in a country where the custom is a flxotl one, and wo must put up with It." A few minutes later, when they are abed, and just before the suorltig machinery is set a going, the dear little wife says, very softly anil l*er suasively:. "I say, dear, the next time you get angry and fall to using bad words, will you please to and a mv dressmaker?" ITEMS OF INTEREST. A gamin in New Y T ork, who was cut w ith a w'hip by the driver while “catching behind” a loaded furniture car, waited his opportunity and cut the rope that bound the load, permitting a portion of the latter to drop into the street. A butcher in Flemington, N. J., owns a dog whose barking at night disturbed the guests at a hotel, the proprietor of w hich got out an in junction against the butcher.

A brick that is said to have fallen 300 feet from the top of a shaft in the great aqueduct ir the course of construction in New York, struck Savora Sidrialia, who was at the bottom, on the head, and though it fractured his skull, did not kill him. At last accounts he was being attended to in St. Francis’ Hospital. From Niagara Falls it is reported that since the new’ law went into effect “all unsightly buildings have been removed, and it is now dis covered that, for the first time in many years, some of the best views of the river and falls are attainable. The bazars have been abolished, the hackmen have been tamed, and every visitor is free to go about as he pleases." There is an anti-treating society in Boston composed mainly of members of the St. Botolpli Club. The anti-treaters are men who are mod els of hospitality in their own houses, but who frown upon the growing American habit of treating upon any am l every occasion. The members bind themselves not to treat one of their number for the space of a year, and they call themselves “The United Order Little Broth ers of St. Botolph.” A novel bath was recently witnessed in Los Angeles. A father had stationed his whole family of children on the front lawn in order, from the shortest to the tallest, each of the youngsters clothed in a big towel, and when all was ready the hose was turned on, while the youngsters danced with delight. After fifteen minutes’brisk application the herd was driven to the rear of the Louse, where they were dried and redressed. “Yes.” said the pater familias, “that's the way I do it, and you see it saves an immense amount of scrubbing.’* A Newton (La.) man was picking apples re cently, w’hen an old cow r ran up to him and then away, acting very strangely. Knowing that she was air unusually intelligent cow, ho suspected that something mut be the matter, and coming down from the tree followed her. She led him to a cow in another part of the orchard that was nearly choked to death with an apple. After he had relieved her the old cow fairly cried for jov and licked the sufferer profusely, and when the latter was driven into the barn-yard, where she would be out of danger, refused to leave her. The attorneys for Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer, are fighting desperately to save their man, ancl purpose car rying his case to the United States Supreme Court. The father of Brooks, who is a cultured gentleman and head master of a school in England, is now on his way to St, Louis. This will bo his second visit to his unfortunate sou since his arrest. The testimony against Brooks is overwhelming, and it is supposed by some that the attorneys for the defense simply wish to delay the execution till Brqoks shall die in jail. At present the hanging is fixed for Aug. 2t>. and a strenuous effort will be made for a stay of execution. Henry Wynn, a bachelor from the West, who was recently visiting his brother at Owen Sound, Out., expressed the desire one clay to get married before his return. The day of his departure had already l>een set. and to expedite matters he offered his brother's wife a deed to fifty acres of land if she would get him a wife by the Satur day following the date of the offer. After ex ploring the town without success for several days, on Friday Mrs. Wynn met a Miss Melrose, who was willing to accept the offer. She was introduced to her prospective husband on Sat urday evening, just before the boat was leaving. A consultation was held, the pair were married on the spot, Mrs. Wynn was handed over the deoil for the fifty acres of land, and the bride and groom steamed away for their prairie home. A sweating sickness that has broken out sporadically in many parts of France is describ ed by the Paris correspondent of a London journal. The disease, he writes, has always existed in a mild form, and is ordinarily re garded as a mere summer heat rash of the* miliary kind: but this year it is accompanied with violent perspiration of a most weakening kind, and a pimply eruption covering the whole body, which has in some cases a blistered ap p*aranee. The Black Prince died of a sweating sickness, which used to be a scourge in the time of the Edwards and Henrys, when the English armies were in occupation of a part of France. It is announced officially from Bourges that, although the sweating sickness is rapidly spread ing in that town and its neighborhood, the mor tality attending upon it is rather upon the de cline. 11 f. was trying to raise money to build anew church. It was greatly needed, but his congre gation was made up of persons in moderate cir cumstances, so he was making appeal to bis wealthy brethren in larger cities. "I am sur prised," he sadly said, "at the lukewarmness of the rich men and women I have talked w ith on the subject. Here is an opportunity to advance the interests of our denomination, and they are so absorbed in their worldly affairs that they hardly give it thought." "When you go to B replied his friend, "you had better call on Mr. Blank. He is rich and childless and has a reputation for great liberality." "Oh, I don't think ho will give anything. I won't mention the matter to him. lie has been giving away money all his life, and I think he ought to save what he has left for his nephews and nieces." The speaker was one of the nephews. Henry Clay was honored by a farewell dinner, given on the night of April 9, 1842, at Brown's Indian Queen Hotel. It was attended by about 150 gentlemen, including many members of both houses of Congress, strangers and citizens. The sentiments and speeches were of much interest, and manifested a strong devotion to Mr. Clay. At the time it had lieen remarked, perhaps with justice, that tin- tone of tin" meeting was in llueneed more by the recollection of disappoint ment than by the prospect of success. It was a meeting of friends, who] had long co-operated with their distinguished leader in a great politi cal object, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell. Mr. 8. N Prentiss, of Mississippi, made otic of his unequalcd dinner-table s|ieeches, Mr. SaltnnstaN, of Massachusetts, made some remarks which were well received, and Mr. Clay's words of t hanks were well chosen and effective. It was remarked that Mr. Tyler could not attend alter Mr. Clay's Alexandria letter, in which he had spoken of the ailminis tration as “weak, vacillating and faithless.” Mr. Clay plainly intimated that heexp-eted the Whig party to retain him as its Presidential candidate, and ho spoke savagely of ail intima tion that Gen. Scott was to be brought forward. Yet there were those who “dippedWith him in t lie dish" at this dinner, who had determined that they would never again support him as a can didate for the Presidential chair. Jt’DOE C. C. Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune , warned his hearers at the Crete, Neb., Chautauqua Assembly against too imaginative w riting for the public press, and related as a case in point an incident in his own experience. “A good many years ago," he said, “I was min ing in a camp in Nevada. The smallpox broke out in the camp. It was very fatal, for in that place there were few of life's necessities or con veniences, much less comforts. Among the victims was a young man who had been work ing for myself ami partners several months. When he was taken ill a young woman of the town, a'soiled dove,’ young and pretty, went and took cn; a of him, remaining until he died. Tli>> morning after his death one of my partners came into my office with a slip of paper in las hand, containing the young man’s name, nativity and age, and asked me to fix it for publication. 1 made the notice as death notices are generally worded in the newsii|ierN, and handed it back. ly partner looking itt it said: M—worked for us a long time; ho was a good man; can you not write something more?’ Thereupon I wrote a brief obituary at the rlos ■ of which, as nearly as 1 can remember. 1 added these words: 'Ami fi >r her, the poor woman, who, braving the danger of the pest ileuce, went and sat at the feet of tie man she loved until he died: for her, though lie fore her garments were soiled, we know that this morning, in the recording angel's hook, it is written that they are white as snow.’ The next morning I went into a restaurant to get my breakfast. It was a little structure about as wide and about lw-thlrds us long as u Pullman ear. There was a row of tallies ou each side and a narrow aisle between them. 1 took a scut at one of the tables, while two men sat at tbe table directly opposite. They are what am called in the M i st 'check guerillas,’ which has the same re latiuu to a thorough gambler that a camp fol lower has to a real soldier. One was eat lug, the other was reading a morning paper. Finally, the one who was reading, looking over the pa per. said to th'* other: ‘Have vou seen this about that man who died up at the Jackson fur naces?’ Tbe other said he had not, und asked what it was. ’lt's wayup,, was the reply. ‘But what Is it? lead it I' said the other. The first speaker threw down the paper, and picking up his knife aud fork, said: ’Oh, it isn’t much after all It savs that woman who went tip to take care of the man got her clothes dirty, hut since he died die has changed her clothes, and she is all right now.’” BAKING POWDER. pi ** 9 j !
