Persons leaving the city for the summer can have the Mount ng News forwarded hy the earliest fast mails to any address nt the rate of 35c. a week, $1 for a month or $3 50 for three months, cash invariably in ad Vance. The address may be changed as Often as desired. In directing a change care should be taken to mention the old as well Is the new address. Those who desire to have their home paper promptly delivered to them while awqy should leave their subscriptions at the Busi ness Office. Special attention will be given to make this summer service sat isf notary and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. Local bills cost legislators too much time, And, as a consequence, the State too much money. The tax returns are showing a gratifying Increase in the value of property in the State. Perhaps, however, the increased re turns are merely tho results of awakened consciences. The Tennessee State Bar Association Wants the salaries of the United States Dis trict Judges increased to $5,000 per annum. In Georgia there is need for an increase in the salaries of the Judges of State Courts. It is said that there are COO bucket shops in tho United States. It is safo to say that there will not be another oho in Atlanta until the losers by the recent collapse in that city recover from their spasms of virtue. Jay Gould has been swindled out of sl,- 000,000. Dishonest cross-tie contractors on the Missouri Pacific system are said to be the parties who thus diminished tho Wall street King's “pile.” Cyrus Field has been quickly revenged. Over in South Carolina the people have begun to use tho cowhide on Mormon ciders who roam about trying to make converts. When a person becomes old enough to bo u Mormon elder it is too late to try to whip file meanness out of him. A Southern memlior of tho Fiftieth Con gross says of himself in the Congressional Directory: “lam six feet tall, weigh 310 pounds, have soft, auburn hair and blue eyes.” This pretty statesman doesn’t hail from Georgia. His description of himself luggests that his district is in East Ten lessee. 0 There is a prospect that all the cities in tho West of any importance will invite President Cleveland to visit them next fall. It is likely that the intended tour of the President will bo turned into a triumphal poareh. Tho people are anxious to do honor to a Chief Magistrate. The eighteenth volume of tho records of tho war between the (Slates is ready for dis tribution. The work was begun by the War Department nine years ago, and it is likely that at least nine years more will Ixi required to complete it. Tho eighteenth volume takes tho history of the war down to 1803. It is expepted that the entire work Will include 137 volumes. The sixth annual’ rounion of the Sur vivors’ Association, Eighteenth Goorgia Regiment, meets in Aeworth, Ga., Aug. 80. The reunion of this association is always an enjoyablp one, and a particularly enjoyable occasion is oxpectcd this year. Patrons who are expecting to attend should send their names and addresses to Mr. Georgo W. Maddox, Secretary, at Carters ville, Ga., at once, in order to aid him in securing a reduction of rates from the rail roads. Tho families of members of the regiment are cntitlod to all privileges. Rev. J. M. Southort, of Brooklyn, is a well-known evangelist. Ten years ago he was an equally well-known burnt cork artist. Since he began preach ing he has accomplished a great deal of good, anil is rated as an elo quent speaker and hard worker. Ho now Intends to return to the minstrel stage, his mason Ix-ing that ho has obligations to meet and ho sees no way of doing so exempt by resuming his old profession. He will have one consolation: Ho will find ample oppor tunity for missionary work among his burnt-cork companions. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald has found u new photo graph of Mr*. Cleveland, and thus raves übollt it: “The most beautiful of all the photographs yet token of Mrs. Cleveland is one which represents her gracefully rojxi. ing beside her mother. Her lovely features sro illumined with the tender devotion of *ji only child, deeply conscious upon whom llic Is reclining. Those who have had the privilege of looking nt this gem of photo graphic tut say that the combination of the mother's and daughter’s faces is something exquieitc. Like some other of her photo graphs, this is for presentation to htr per sonal friends oisiy, and those so fortunate ns to be honored with one prize the gift exceed ingly.” Tlio llerahTn readers do not need to be b.Jd thut iu correspondent's uamo is Jcnkiufc The Ohio Republican Convention. The Republican (state Convention of Ohio meets nt Toledo to-day, and a very inter esting convention it will be, in all proba bility. Tho chief interest is not in tho candi dates, because it is pretty well settled who will bo nominated, particularly for Gover nor, but in tho probable action of tho con volition with regard to the proposed resolu tion indorsing Senator Sherman for Presi dent. It is believed that at least two-thirds of the Ohio Republicans are in favor of the nomination of Blaine for President, and if thnt is the case the State convention can not honestly ask for tho nomination of Sherman. Tho State convention has nothing to do with national ]xlitics, but Sherman is de termined that it shall say whether it favors his candidacy or not. Ho is a delegate to the convention, and his friends will be there in force, and will bring strong influences to beau upon the delegates in his favor. In 1880 and in 1884 the Ohio delegation to tho National Convention was divided, a majority being for Sherman, blit the senti ment for him was not strong enough to hold the majority to his standard when n favor able opportunity to vote for another candi date presented itself. Senator Sherman has determined that Ohio must give him n solid and hearty support if he is a candidate be fore the next National Republican Conven tion, and he wants to know now what his prospects are. A few weeks ago ho an nounced that unless the Ohio delegation was solid for him ho would not be a candidate, and that tho failure of the Toledo conven tion to indorse him would lie followed by an announcement that he was out of tho Presidential race. 1 Tho question whiah presents itself, there fore, is this; \Vi ll the convention give Sen ator Sherman tho indorsement which ho de sires? The impression appears to be that it will, lint it will do so not because he is tho favorite, but because to refuse would be to endanger the success of the State ticket next fall. The difference between the strength of the Democratic and Republican parties in the State is not very great, and a refusal to indorse Senator Sherman might cause him and his admirers to remain inactive in the approaching State campaign. If they should show a disposition to abandon tho State ticket to its fato the Democratic can didate for Governor might be elected. It looks, therefore, as if the convention would ho compelled to indorse Senator Sher man whether it wants to or not. It cannot afford to take the chances of incurring his hostility to the State ticket. Gov. Foraker has a strong backing in the State for Vice President, but if a solid Sherman delegation is chosen there will be no possibility of bringing Gov. Foraker forward for tho second place on tho ticket unless Senator Sherman withdraws. But if the State convention indorses Sena tor Sherman, will the party respect tho in dorsement in choosing delegates to the national convention? That is very doubtful. If Mr. Blaine is a candidate it is probable that Ohio will again choose a divided dele gation. Summed up tho situation is about this: If the State convention indorses Senator Sherman the indorsement will not be a genuine one, and will not lx> respected it Mr. Blaine is a candidate. It will not be given willingly, but through fear of incur ring Senator Sherman’s hostility to tho State ticket, and its consequent defeat. Senator Sherman can force an indorsement from the State, but he cminot. control the selection of the delegation to tho national convention. It looks now os if he would suffer tho same kind of a disappointment in 1888 that he did in 1880 and 1884. Florida’s Sub-Tropical Exposition. The proposed Sub-Tropical Exposition at Jacksonville is certain to boa success. Its promoters arc pushing forward the prepara tions for it with groat earnestness anil ener gy. They appear to understand fully tho magnitude of the task they have undertaken and to be fully equal to it. From present indications tho exposition will lx; much larger than it was at first pro posed. Tho interest that is manifested in it, throughout Florida, and also outside of tho State, justifies an enlargement of the seopo of tho enterprise. The State itself could furnish material for a magnificent ex position, but wheu it is understood that Central America and tho West Indies are to bo drawn upon, ns well as parts of this country outside of Florida, it will be at once seen what a magnificent display is contem plated. It is gratifying that the work of making preparations has begun so soon. Although it is not proposed to open tho exposition until next January it will require all the time before thut date to itti the work that is necessary to be done. Tho great mistake that is made in connection with nearly all expositions is that too many things aro left to be done until the last moment. Tho re sult is that on tho opening day everything is in disorder, and the public receive a bad impression. That was the case at the Now Orleans exposition, and tho managers of the Florida affuir will bo wise if they avoid that mistake. When the opening day is fixed let it ho understood that by that time every thing will bo in order. In view of the fact that Florida has as tonished tho world by hor progress in popu lation and material wealth, it is fair to pre sume that there will bo still greater aston ishment, when it is soon what Florida can do in tho fruit and vegetable lino wheu at her best. If tho Dry Goods Chronicle is credible authority, Southern people arc preparing to wear plenty of good elothos next fall and winter. The Chronicle says that advices from the South indicate that there will be a larger visitation to tho Now York market on tho part of the retail trade of this section during the coming season than has proba bly been witnessed in any similar one in tho history of tho New York dry goods jobbing business. The South would bo better off if tiie roady-mado clothing she uses were manu factured within her own borders. The various British and Scottish associa tions in Massachusetts uro taking steps to have their members and all other British subjects in tho State naturalized. It is esti mated that there are nt least. •.’7,(K)O uunutu ra'dieed British-born men in the State. The movement is in tho right direction. For eign born men who make this country their home should become citizens as soon ns the laws will permit. Tho St. Louis itooplo arc to have a sight of Munitecsy's “Christ Before Pilate.” As a cm.y*q uehco tho preachers and editors of that city arc worried nearly to death by in quirers who want brief biographical sketches of Christ and tin* exact, geographi cal position of Pilate, whom they think is an ancient city. In some respect, St. Louis is a truly remarkable city. TFIE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1887. The CSenvict Camp Investigation. The in vwtigation of the management of the convict camps and tbe treatment of convicts which is being made by a commit tee of the I.egislatum is attracting a good deal of attention throughout the State. The testimony thus fur introduced is somewhat conflicting, but it creates the impression that there is room for improvement in the management of tiio camps and in the treat ment of convicts. It is not expected, of course, that convicts shall have the com forts and conveniences which laborers, who <lo tho sumo kind of work which they do, have because they aro not only not entitled to them, but many of them arc so hardened and thoroughly bad that they would take advantage of any kindness extended to them, but it is exix'ctetl that their lives shall not bo rendered more bur densome than the courts which imposed sentences upon them intended. Confinement and hard labor do not mean excessive labor ami brutal treatment. The State intends that the convicts shall have wholesome food and plenty of it, and that they shall have proper medical attention when they are sick. Some of the testimony which has been contradicted—-whether successfully or not remains for the investigating committee to determine—indicates the existence of im morality and brutality in tiio camps so gross us to call for a sweeping reform. While, perhaps, the condition of affairs in the camps in this State is no worse than it is in the camps of other States where the lease system prevails the existence of abuses elsewhere does not excuse abuses in this State, and if the Legislature becomes satis fied thnt any of the lessees are not comply ing with their contracts iu their treatment of the convicts there ought to be no hesita tion in declaring their looses forfeited. Tho State is deeply interested in having the convicts treated justly, Ixvause, aside from the State’s obligation to soe that they are dealt with humanely, if they are brutally treated they will he more dangerous to society when they are released from confine ment. Before any of the lessees ore condemned I hey should be given a full hearing, and then if it appears that they have been un worthy of the trust reposed in them they ought to be dealt with without any leniency. It is believed that the leases are profitable, and I hero are plenty of men who will gladly take the convicts and treat them in a way that will lie wholly satisfactory. There is no danger that the convicts will bo thrown back uixrn the State for support. In some of tho States iu which the lease system pre vails n pretty heavy bonus is paid for the right to the labor of tho convicts. It can not be said, therefore, that the lessees in this State are afraid if they do not get all the work they can out of the convicts they will lose money. If any lessee loses money it is because ho doesn't know how to manage his convicts. Tho Spartanburg Encampment. Tho first annual meeting of tho Interstate Farmers’ Summer Encampment at Spartan burg, 8. C., will begin ou Aug. 3 and con tinue until Aug. fi. The prospects for a suc cessful and profitable encampment aro ex eellent. Hundreds of farmers from Ala bama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Kouth Carolina are expected to be pres ent They will have opportunities for en joying themselves and for gaining many hints relative to practical farming that will prove beneficial to them. There will lx lectures anil addresses on agricultural sub jects, and exhibitions of tho practical work ings of tlie latest agricultural machinery and implements. A great deal of fine stock is expected to be on exhibition, and farmers will have a chance to pick up some interest ing anil valuable points about the breeding and raising of fine stock. In mingling together and hearing each other’s experi ence in farming, it will bo strange if they do not get many suggestions which they can turn to practical account. The manufacturer and the merchant will also be present, tho one to exhibit the latest improved machinery and inventions for use upon farms and in the household, and the other to bring to tho notice of customers articles which may bo needed by farmers. There will boa display of minerals found in the States named, and in viewing the collection farmers may bo led to inquire whether upon their forms there are not minerals which can bo made profitable to them. The arrangements for the accommodation of visitors aro represented to ho very satis factory. Tho grounds havo been prepared with great euro, and with the view of se curing the greatest amount of pleasure and comfort at tho least expense. It is the pur pose of tho promoters of this enterprise to have au encampment of farmers at Spar tanburg every summer, and they will make every exertion to mako the first a success ful one. Mrs. Garner is tho editor of the Carroll (La.) Banner. A short time ago, while vis iting tho coast parish of Cameron, she made a discovery which she thus charmingly de scribes: “The low lands lying down by the Gulf of Mexico constitute Cameron, the prohibition parish. Thoro the rieebird twit ters, tho cattle graze peacefully on the prairie, nnd tho orange groves bear their golden treasure. Leesburg is tho parish seat. The press party wont ashore hero and took possession of the court house, which was tenanted by one jxjrson, the clerk. The Sheriff had no work to do, nnd just fucing tho hallway was a small, dilapidated struc ture which once served for a parish jail, but for several years now had been utilized as a granary. Wo wont nnd shook the creaky iloor, which was rusting away on its hinges; we peeped through tiio shut ters and rusty iron bars into the Interior; tho only sound was the scampering of the rots across the floor as wo jarred the swinging shutters.

The New York limes is authority for this hit of cheering intelligence: While all the loud talk goos on about an approaching danger of a tight money market, brokets arc making time loans on easy terms. One of the biggest money lenders in Wall street, giving reasons why ho expected no squeeze in tlie money rate this summer or fall, said that he was lending on long time at 4), and f> per cent, a good many millions that he would certainly keep looked up if there was any "hope” of getting better pay for its use at any time soon.

The formation of a colored (J. A. R. post in this city indicates the intention of the negro veterans to submit to no color line. It is to bo hoped this will not stir up <;en. Tuttle nor in duce Gen. Fairchild to attempt tcrpalsy anyone. Tuttle's Nearness Explains It. From the New York World (Deni.) Certain Republicans at Cottage Hill, la., are boycotting and persecuting a postmistress whom they rlo not like. This is a rough com mentary on the chivalry of Cottage Hill, but the influence of the neighboring Tuttle may serve as a partial explanation of such treatment of a woman. , No Occasion for a Howl. From the Memphis Avalanche {Dem.) There is no necessity for an indignant North ern howl because Georgia will have no mixture ol white and colored children in her schools. The lifgroeg themselves are opposed to it. They were? the first to protest, and went so fur as to demand the .substitution of colored teacher* for the whites imported from the North. Mr. Randall Was Mistaken. From the Philadelphia Becord(Dem.) A little while ago Mr. Randall, after carefully scanning the political horizon, oracularly in formed the correspondent of a friendly organ t hat the people ha<\ no desire to interfere with the present tariff. The unanimous action of the < >hio Democracy has probably convinced him of his mistake, ’that monopoly rejoices in the rich profits which it drains from consumers un der the operation of the tariff is no sign that the people are satisfied with tho process.

Bast year an undertaker in Kalamazoo—only it wasn’t Kalamazoo—placed an order with a Rochester house for a ham heme hearse. It happened that another Kalamazoo man had business in Rochester after the hearse was fin ished, and before it was delivered, and curiosity led him to the factory. “I came to see if 1 could get a look at Mr. Blank’s hoarse,” he said. The manager expressed a willingness to ac conunodut * him, and personally led the way to the great show rooms. The first hearse they came to the visitor asked: “Is that Blank's?” “No. sir,” was the answer. “Is his ns good as that*” “Much finer.” “She must be a daisy.” This sort of thing went on with every ve hicle of the land that was passed until finaliy in the furthest corner they found Blank's hearse. “Is that it?” asked the man. “Yes, sir.” He took a long, critical loolart it, then, turn ing to his guide, said solemn 'JP “You mark my word, there’ll bo suicides in Kalamazoo.” Under a Palm Tree. From the Stockton Mail. In a desert on one of the South Pacific islands er<- about a dozen cocuanut trees, and five miles distant is the ocean. After a hot ride through the blazing sun a cool breeze from the ocean set in. and I l>egan to feel th** soft touch of slumber, and all at once 1 hoard a faint musical tinkling as if troops of fairies were coming to greet us as they used to do the enchanted princess in th** olden days. I tried to locate the melodious sounds. In all directions there was nothing but hot, glowing sand. I looked up there was nothing but tue beautiful tropical sky and th*? tremulous atmosphere. Still louder sounded the music: it was all around us; it filled the air. 1 gazed toward the ocean, and then*, apparently a short distance away, was a beauti ful lake, with its waves dashing upon raoss epverod stone*. Ka Pule had fallen asleep, and. g tzing at the lake and listening to the music in the air, I rested n*y head against the rough bark of a tree. As I did so 1 heard the distant gurgle of a brook. I could plainly hear the water splashing over the glistening stones and dying away in quiet eddies. I was more and more !xwildered, and at length awoke Ka Pule. I told him what I had heard, and directed his attention to the lake. H* explained that the seeming lake was a mirage: that the sound of gurgling waters odme from an underground stream, and that, the music was caused by the stirring of the flinty sands by the wind. Woman’s Foot. From the Boston Traveller. A high official of the government tipped back in his comfortable office chair and said to the Tract lit,- correspondent : T have made a dis covery that is worth millions to bashful men. You know there are sonic fellows who never go into ladies' company without being embarrassed, but 1 have found out something that will make a bashful man the equal of the most self-con scious woman that ever lived. Now let me tell you my secret. I started out on the broad, general platform that a woman is mor* scusi five about her feet than anything else. Having settled that in my mind, I began r series of ex periments. The horse car is my favorite place. 1 love to see a queenly-looking woman gel into the car and sit down with the air of knowing that she is the best dressed lady present. In an apparently unconcerned way I attract her at tention by looking steadily at her feet, with an occasional giauce at her face. Of course, I avoid all appearance of impertinence. 1 assume the air of a man who sees something that inter ests him. No matter how calm the victim is when she entered the cay, inside of five minutes she will be so nervous that she will fairly ache to get to He:- destination, sin* may have the handsomest foot in the world, and know that it is encased in a nicely fitting shoe, but she will wilt all the same. It is a woman's weakness. 1 have tried it on young girls of 10 ancl old women of td: the result is Jhe same. Achilles was vul nerable only in his hoed; but you can’t look steadily at a woman's little too for two consecu tive minutes without making her feed as though she would like to murder yo. .” Athirst. From the Detroit Free Press. Oh, the tinkle, tuntle, tinkle, oh, the chinkle, vbnnkle, ehinkle Of the iee within the pitcher that I hear each blessed morn! Oh, the glad mid merry trebles, lilte a brook above the pebbles. Where rivenvani it Hows between the fields of ripened corn!

And nearer, nearer, nearer, conies the music aver dearer Of t In- footfall of the boll boy on the steps of the hotel; And my soul goes out in yearning, every other comfort spurning. To the gentle ministrations of the hoy that "tends the ls'!l! Most enviable follow—c#n he guess Just how the mellow “Tinkle, te.ukle"' changes him to an angel in tny sight ? In my heart I love and bless him, and almost could caress him. For thirstlk T dreamed of him the livelong sul try night! Now he's coming,coining, coming, soon I"llhear his knuckles drumming On t lie panels or the portal that doth let upon the hall! Oh, kindly hoy, he nimble—striko and clash thine icy cymbal. Never can its'frigid music on my longing senses pall! Oh, the tinkle, tank! *, tinkle, oh, the chinkle, cbankle, chinkle. Like the lapping of the laughing waves upon a golden shore— Like a dream of fern mid grotto —I skull buy a temperance motto And hung it high and dry above my hotel chamber door! Still marching, marching, marching, my throat and lips are parching— He isiuses—oh, sweet minister! O angel straight from Heaven" 1 turn the knob in rapture my hands reach out to capture The pitcher -hut it's gone— incarnate fiend— to uumbcrwavuu! ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A shutter was blown against the head of John Sims, at Servia, Ind., during a cyclone early in the week, and though he quickly recov ered otherwise from the effects of the blow, he has lost the power of speech in consequence of it. His other faculties, it is stated, are notin the least impaired. Tiie hackmen of Victoria, B.

Last Monday Mrs. Ira Richmond, of Golden, Mich., was driving the reaper across tho field when the tongue broke. The horses started on. and Mrs. It. was thrown into the machinery near the large wheel, and a deep gash was cut in her left leg a: tho knee.
