Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. Now parties rise anti flourish inunetlmtoly before a Presidential election. They die im niediately after. A burning question this morning is: If it is too warm to go to church is it cool enough to go o:t an excursion! There are 100 natural gas companies in Kansas. Of course they do not care whether Congress is in session or not. It seems that there are convicts and con vjets. Those that are allowedtogo a-fishing whenever they please are doubtless the hap pic-t. To. addition to being ill, it is said that Mr. Blaine has lost it is temper. Well, there are good many things worrying Mr. Blaine, and perhaps he is excusable. While they are dismissing the future of tho State University its friends should not forget- that an easy way to injure the insti tution is to place it in the control of poli ticiatia. The yacht Thistle sails for New York to morrow. She itus a crew of forty men, said to be the pick of English sailors. ('apt. Birr is her skipper. The approaching race is exciting interest in all parts of tho world. The Hon. S. J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, appears to regard himself as bigger than the Democratic party. The day is coining when tbe knowledge of his mistake will so com pletely overwhelm him that he will never recover.

The statement is mode that the officers of One of the di visions of the so-called Ameri can Party in California are all foreigners. The American Party wants to restrict for eign immigration in this country. I noon eisteney and politics are often interchange able terms. Mayor Hewitt, of New York, denies that he has a Presidential boo in his bonnet. He also denies that ho favors Gov. Hill for President. Mayor Hewitt is a man of sense. He knows that the Democracy will triumph next year with President Cleveland as its candidate. Since Griffin had her unhappy experience with a “developer,” it is said that strangers who visit that city can induce nobody to talk “business” with them without first ex hibiting certificates of good character.

Cleveland 13 the Party’s Cboico. Outside of New York there does not ap pear to bonny opposition to Mr. Cleveland’s re-nomination. In all the interviews with prominent Democrats in different parte < f the country which have appeared in puliiio prints lately there has been but one senti ment with regard to his re-nomination, and that has been favorable. Tho Ohio Demo cratic convention last week unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed his aduiinin trill ion, asi 1 it is reasonably certain that ••'cry oiber Democratic convention which meets Ibis year will do tho Kimo thing. Even the no bead Democrats, who, during the first year of ike administration, had only barr.h words for the President, now piidur e him heartily, and freely exjircss tiio oniitiou that tl:cro is no other man so well It*tod am! ro crrtaiu to tend the party to victory in 18SS. Tr. New York citv there isa little hostility to him, but it is nd of such magnitude as to attract a groat deal of attention. There are a few prominent Democrats there who pre tend to think that Gov. Hili is the only Democrat who van carry New York in DCiS, and hence they improve every oppor tunity to piece him before the public. They have a grievance of some kind, and would liko to see Mr. Cleveland beaten for per sona! reason.'; nlono. They do not receive any cnccuragonlent., however, and are ap parontly about ready to acknowledge that it is useless to ojipose Mr. Cleveland farther. It is about certain that. Gov. Hill is not looking towards the Presidency at present. He understands the political situation too well to oven hope to have his name men tioned in tho next National Convention. He is undoubtedly aiming at a second term for Governor, and that there is every reason to think he will get. There are some who regard Mr. Cleveland as only a lucky man, but those who have had the best, opportunities to study him are confident that lie is a statesman of fine ability, and an extraordinarily shrowd pol itician. For a man who had no experience in national politics until lie went to Wash ington he lias made very few mistakes, indeed, he has made tio mistake that is likely to ho remembered long. The opposi l ion that ho encountered during the first year and a half of his term was almost wholly due to his inability to give every body an office who applied for one. Now that the main part of the patronage has keen distributed, those who criticised him the most harshly are loudest in their praise of him. Mr. Cleveland’s success is due to some thing more than luck. A study of his career shows that ho is a keen student of hu man nature, and that, lie has seldom failed to take tho right course when success depended upon tho course to lie taken. Thorough acquaintance with tho great prob lems of government lie probably has not , but his strong common sense and sound judg ment sorvo bins better than the learning of many of those who have made the science of government the study of their lives. Another Woman’s Work. Avery bright woman complains that the newspapers entirely overlook one occupa tion which is open to her sex. She says that the occupation to which sho has reference is by far the most independent of ail those purstKsl by women, ami that it is much less confining am! a great deal more healthful. Perhaps an account of what she calls “mak ing bread and butter for self and fam ily” will be of value to some other woman. Hhe lives in a small railroad town in this State. Several years ago her husband died, leaving her five children and no income. He did leave her, however, a house, six acres of laud and a cow. It was not convenient for her to teach, nor was it jiossible in the town in which she lived to obtain a situation in a store or business office Milliners abounded, and so there was no opening for a profitable business in supplying other women with nr Melos for the adornment of their persons. In fact, she soon discovered that none of the occupations generally regarded as suitable for women w-as open to her. Then sha thought of her cow. The animal was a fine one, and yielded an abundance of milk. With the aid of one of her children she established a dairy on a small scale. She readily found purchasers for her products, and, as her milk and butter were always fresh and rich, in a few weeks she found that she could not supply the demand. After considering tho matter she determined to enlarge her dairy. Hhe sold one of her six acres and with the proceeds bought an other cow. The other five acres she planted in grain of several varieties, so ms to avoid tile necessity of buying food for her cows. At the end of a year sho cast up accounts and found that while she had lived hard she was free’froin debt, and that sho and her children were blessed with good health. “Such,’’ to quott* her own words, “was tlio beginning of a business which now yields ino not less than $1,500 a year profit. 1 have now fifty acres of land, fifteen of the finest cow r s in Georgia and all the buildings and appliances that a dairy needs, I find a ready market at home, and in not less than three neighboring cities. I mn my own mistress. I am, indeed, as independent myitis possible for a human being to bo. My children are receiving the best educational advantages that our State affords. My oldest hoy will graduate next year, and I shall then take him into my business as a partner. Never talk to me about clerking, or tele graphing, or typo-writing' I ant sorry for the poor women that have such work to do. It is a pity, too, that more women do not do as 1 am doing. There are certainly many that, might if they would." No doult it is true that keeping a dairy would be >• pleasant occupation for a large numb-* of women. Several in Georgia, in addition to the one whose experience lias been giren, the Moksixo Nkws knows are making it pay. It may also bo freely nd mitted that it is both healthful anti inde {•endent. At a meeting of the TiJeGlynn-Gcorgo Anti Poverty Society in New York on Thursday night last Dr. McGlynn said that the United Labor party would make no compromise with any party, but would nominate a full ticket at eaeli election, in cluding candidates for President and Vico President of tlio United Status in 18*8. When ho said “Ff.idout" there was pro longed applause, and somob"'ly shoutssl “McCllynn fer President.” The doctor took no notieo of the cry, b:' the applause was renewed. “McCHrnn for President” would serve to coadn-'.a his no* riety for awhile, btit even*nolij' it would cause his collapse and the failure of li'r reho.nc3 to Ik- all the move ••otnplot*.

MIL M( >K.MMt INK VVS : SUM) AY, JUL V 2-1, v At - . Unwise N*.sviie. The action of the House on tlm M >.!y bill was a general t>iuprise. It was not thought jjossiblo tl*l :t could bo ii.du te< J . to pass a measure *..hieh lias so little reason in it, and which is so inimical to tie- interests of fertilizer deal cm a o.i farms r . Tile Senate sho*ld kill it, ami, that, too, without wasting any time over it. Surely tho farmers don't want a law that v.-;! ! in create thoi ost of fertilizers, and which can be of tic benefit to them. Wlmt does the bill prop*we* Why, that a farmer who lias puivhOHod a fertilizer on credit may refuse to pay for it if he thinks that it is not what it v.as represented to be. To any suit, brought against him for the purchase price of a fertilizer he has only to plead a want of consideration, uml the dealer must show that his goods were what he represented thorn to lie. How is the dealer to do that? There is only one way, end that is to furnish the certificate of the inspector who inspected the goods. That, however, is furnished now. Tho inspector’s certificate is on all fertilizers, and the farmer knows just what he is buying. It may !>o said that tho in spector’s certificate is not always cor rect. If that is true, the State ought to see to it that competent men are employed as inspectors. The farmers certainly pay enough in the shape of inspec tor’s fees to secure first-class men. If an in spector’s certificate, therefore, is evidence of the quality of tho goods, and as all fertil zers are inspected, tbo fanner will gain noth ing by tlie Brady bill, and may be put to a very considerable expense for lawyer’s fees and costs of court. Another feature of the bill is that all notes giver for fertilizers must have that fact stated oil their face. That, together with the right which the makers of the notes have to plead a want of consideration, oven whore tho notes have passed into the hands of third parties, destroys their nogo tiability. How is the fertilizer dealer to got money to carry on his business? Ho could not'have the notes discounted, nor could lie pledge thorn for loans, because no bank would take them, involving m they would tlie risk of a law suit with the chance of being held worthless. Of course if this bill becomes a law fer tilizers must be sold for cash, or if sold on credit the prices must lie advanced so ns to cover the additional risk of losses. It is cer tain that tho dealers would protect them selves and tin? farmers would have to bear whatever cost would bo incurred in securing protection. legislation, such as is proposed in Brady’s bill is bad for several reasons. It opens the way for dishonest persons to avoid the pay ment of their debts, and it is a temptation to become dishonest. If this Dill were to be come a law a dishonest purchaser of fertil izers would try to benefit by it even if he had no reasons for doing so, and weak men might try to make themselves believe that they had been cheated by the fertilizer deal ers with the hope of getting rid of their ob ligations. There certainly would be an im mense number of lawsuits if the dealers con sented to sell their goods on credit. If tho Brady measure is deemed necessary there is no reason why there should not be legislation of the same kind with respect to other things than fertilizer's. There is just as much reason for excusing a farmer from 1 laying for flour, sugar, hay, corn and other supplies which ho may think do not come up to the proper standard of quality as for excusing him from paying for fer tilizers which do not produce the result; that he liiul hoped for; but it is apparent that if such legislation were ex tended to all articles it would pretty effectu ally check business. If it is believed that thero are fertilizer dealers who sell worthless goods, let the in spection laws he made more rigid and searching, and let tlie dealing in worthless goods be made an offense punishable by a severe penalty. Let the punishment for dishonesty lie inflicted iqion those whode serve it. It is unjust to honest farmers to make their burdens heavier. That will be the result if Brady’s bill becomes a law. Tho Rahway Mystery. The murder of a young girl at Rahway, N. J., which attracted so much attention a few months ago remains a mystery. The authorities and reporters, however, are still tr3'ing to solve it. Every few ilavs some thing appears in the jiapers which serves to keep alive public interest in it. Murders are being committed in different parte of the country all the time, but they are quickly forgotten outside of tho locality in whicli they occur lieeause all the circum stances connected with them are known. Tlie Rahway ease is different. The mur derer has not been found and no cause for the crime hits been discovered. Within the last few days it is thought that a clue has boon found, but it is not by any means certain that it will lead to any thing. One of the Coroner’s jury, a few ilays ago, stated that a basket, exactly liko the one that was found with eggsfn it lie side the murdered girl, was seen by him a day or so before the murder in tho grocery store of Stewart Baker. When he saw it Mrs. Baker was mending it with a piece of twine, and remarked to him that the lvisket lind bad onion peelings in it. The basket found beside the murdered girl iiad a few oniou peelings in it ami had been mended with twine. The Bakers, when their at tention was called to this statement, said that there never had been such a basket ii: their store. Tlie statement, however, is con firmed by an old and rosjjcctable gentleman named Osborn, who happened to be present when the man who makes the statement was Micro. With this cluo it ought to lie possible to trace the Imsket into tlio posses sion of tho murdered girl. John 11. Langston, of Virginia, is onoof the lending negroes of the country.

Ho thinks that it would afford intelligent, pa triotic citizens generally no little pleasure to know that Gov. Fitzhugh Is*e, through his judicious, kindly management of every Stale and general interest, had so far won the applause uud approval of the pernio of the country as to secure him the high honor connected with the nomination to the Vice -I‘residency of the United States.

Modest Correspondents. From the Boston Herald (Ind.} It is estimated in various quarters that those Americans whom Prof. Tyndall soys have writ ten to him ii. condemnation of Mr. Gladstone's policy have not tho courage to proclaim their convictions at home. It is a fact, indeed, that people holding such views if any t here arc—are mighty modest about giving them expression, and yet the character of Prof. Tyndall is such that there can bo no doubt he had such cor respondents.

It is not <.n the tariff question alone that Ran dall and his little faction of so-called Democrats are at war with the Democratic party and tbe Administration.

The indigent }H*nsion bill is to be brought up again before Congress, and Randall and his faction will have a fresh opportunity to show their hostility to the party to which they profess to belong.

From the Quiver. <me of the most recent triumphs of the divin ing rod in Britain has behn at the Avonmouth docks. The company owjtfng the docks having received an intimation U*t an American com pany proposed establishing a sugar factory near the (locks provided a good water supply could lie secured, a certain Mr. Laxttence who has the reputation of consideranlosmvessasa water finder was engaged to exauitne the neighbor ing ground. In this case th* rod employed was a piece of spring steel, which was lient in the shape of a horse shoe, as tire searcher, holding his elbows close to his side/}, .began to vv;uk slowly over the field After a while the steel be came so violently agitated, and twisted itself with such force, that one of -Mr. Lawrence's lingers was cut: He directed the company to commence boring at the spot tlius indicated by the shedding of his blood, and the work was ac cordingly commenced. At the depth of 107 feet water was struck, and has since flowed at the rate of 1,000 gallons per hour. in New England also the location of wells is saitl to be frequently decided by the aid Of the water-twig. And, moving wditwnrd, we un told that the Southern Pacific and 1 (' -ntral Pa cific Railroad Companies have, in crossing arid plains, be.en glad to avail themselves of the services of tho divining rod in order to success fully locate their artesian wells. Doubtless ere long, this seemingly mysterious power will be scientifically explained, l-’or the present, however, it remains among tho number of unfat homed mysteries, of which a few still remain, to puzzle our wisest men, and to pro voke the contemptuous sneers of those who (forgetting how little our great-grandparents knew of tho forces of stenfii and electricity and how certain it is that nature still holds many a secret which science has as yet failed to dis cover) believe that w hatever is beyond their own powers of understanding must necessarily be foolishness A Maine Woman’s Horse Trade. From the Portland, (Me.) Press. I-ast Saturday Mr. H. F. Thompson, the Cum berland street livery stable keeper, paid Silt) for a horse and carriage. He bought the team of a woman who said sue had no further use for it. The woman first came to the stable without the team and proposed the trade. She said the horse anil carriage were up on Fox -drool. out Mr. Thompson need not take tho trouble of going tin there, as site would get tho team etui drive around to the stable. In about an itotu- the wo man returned, driving a good-looking liay mm, and the salo -va? made. Hut the team had not come from Fox street, for instead of going there the woman had gone to Haves' stable,on Plum street,anti there bimltlie leant Mr. Hayes naturally suspected something wrong when Ills property was not returned and notified the authorities that the team was mis ing. Of course the supposition was that the team had Iteen driven out of town, but vester duy Mr llayes was surprised to learn ifiat it was still in Utis city, and Mr. Thompson was probably not so agreeably surprised when in discovered the facts in the case. Mr. Hayes got his team, hut tho woman and the $llO are missing. The woman gave the name of Annie O'Neil. She is about 85 years old, weighs proh altlv 130 (tounds, is of medium height and light complexion. Site war. well dressed and said that blu had lived near the park.

The lake is fed by a water fall, whose source is so high that it could not be seen by the light of the torches. The walls of a ruined Mexican church at Grand Quievera, N.

It was some 300 big buffalo fish, each with its head protruding above the surface of the water. They remained stationary. Mr. Derwine thinks that the temperature of the water was so high that the fish were driven to seek air to prevent suffocation. This is a good fish story: all the better from the fact that it is strictly true. A STRANGE STORY COITICS ft'OTTl NcwtOU. KflS. Last week a man with both legs missing ap- Iwared on the streets begging. He is an old soldier who has been searching through long years for the surgeon who amputated his limbs so that he could secure a pension. Dr. Coleman, of Newton, noticed the man. and in questioning him it was discovered that the doctor was the longiiearched-for army surgeon. The man was taken care of and will now probably be able to get a pension. A 10- year-old boy at Greenwood, Ark., be came enraged with his mother, went at sunset to a grove nearby, cl ini lied a tree, and declared he would roost there all night. His mother tried in vain for an hour to persuade the kid to come down. Then she threatened to cut the tree down, and finally sent for the Town Mar shal. who climbed thetreei placed a rope around the youngster's body, and lowered him to the ground. So great was his yearning to play rac coon and sleep in the tree-top that he had to be kept securely fastened in the house all night. The example set by the University of Penn sylvania in establishing the Wharton school of fingfiee and political economy is beginning to be followed in the South. It is proposed to es tablish a chair of political economy and social science in Washington and Lee University, ington, Va., with ex-Congressman John Ran dolph Tucker as its occupant. Mr. Tucker wa at the head of the law school in this institution when first elected to Congress in 1874, and con tinued to l>e a member of the faculty througjv out his twelve years of continuous servic# m Congress. The Boston Transcript tolls of a little sehool boy—a foreigner, who was unable to work a single exercise that was given to tho whole school. He was much chagrined at his inability to handle enough of English to work the exer cise, and said that he could do it easily enough in his own language. The teacher told him with a smile, that he could do it in his own lan guage jf he preferred. Whereupon he proceeded to cover both sides of his slate with two alleged solutions of the exercise, one being written on one side in Hebrew and the other on the other side in Russian. The teacher marked him per fect—at a venture. In the city of Rennes, in France, they recently erected a statue in bronze to the great Consta ble Montmorency. There was no particular rea son why the good citizens of Renres should honor the memory of the dead cons*able. The fever which prevails in France for erecting all sorts of statues Load sorts of people is catch ing, and this is the only explanation given. Re cently it was discovered that the constable was a strict churchman, and a good deal of an aris tocrat. A solemn council was held, and they were about to vote for its removal when a wise fellow suggested that Rennes had no statue of Bertrand Duguesclin, a red Republican of the most, approved sort, and that with another in scription this statue would answer every pur pose. The suggestion was adopted, and tne old statue with anew inscription was duly reinaug urated. Whiting from Tashkent! on Juno 12. Jtr.
