There is nothing' like a freshet to teach people how indisiiensable tbo railroads are. The General Assembly of Georgia boasts few orators. It is not without talkers, how ever. Texas is anxious for a general European war. The wheat crop of tho State is unusu ally large. Now, then, let Ohio follow Kentucky’s example and put a Democrat in her Gov ernor’s chair. Mr. Alfred Sully has started on his pleas ure tour South. Wall street flurries will give him no concern during the next fort night. Tbe public buildings owned by tho United States aro valued at $150,000,000. Bo far no insurance agent bus succeeded in insuring any of them. Europeans are much more in awe of the police than of Kings and Queens. If they had to symbolize tyranny they would sim ply hang up a blue coat trimmed with gilt lace and brass buttons. At n hotel in Philadelphia, tho other day, a Wisconsin mau who didn't like his tabic waiter threw a pumpkin pie at him. The thrower’s wild Western ways were not relished, for ho was arrested and finis! $53. Senator Sherman, no doubt, hopes that he has built his Ohio fences so high that Mr. Blaine will not bo able to climb over them. Unfortunately for tho Senator he will not be able to take bis fences to tho Re publican nominating convention. Police Captain Williams, of New York, says that he is stum that ho has sent as many men to State prison as the Rev. Dr. Crosby has sent to heaven. Perluqw lie has, but it is doubtful if bis services to society deserve to be regarded as favorably as those of the man who sends people to heaven. Certainly the p-ople concerned will not side with the Captain. It will Ui noticed that wlwn n Democratic sesvtri is caught, he is promptly punished. 'Phis, of course, is a rare occurrence, be cause there ure so few Democratic rascals. Under Republican administrations Republi can rascals were frequently caught, but they were not often punished. It goes wit h out saying that the country is better off under a Democratic administration. Senator Allison, of lowa, lias boon in the mountains of New York State trying to keep cool. A few days ago he started lioiue. When asked his reason for doing so he re plied: “I am going home to look after lowa, and that is all.” Perhaps the Senator means to ask the Republicans of his State to give him un “indorsement,” so tlint ho can boast that Senator Sherman has no ad vantage over hint. Joseph \V. Drcxel, the New York banker, Las written to Commander-in-chief Fair child, of the Grand Ann) of the Republic, tendering froe of exjieuse to surviving Union soldiers of the Inti' war, in jierpetitfty, the cottage on Mount McGregor in which Gen. Grunt died. It is probable that the offar will be accepted and that tho cottage will be cared for somewhat as is the case with Mount Vomon. The committee Hint carried the invitation to President Cleveland to visit Kansas City was of J. M. Lord, John C. Famuoy, Kaniuel V. Scott, William 11. Davis and George W. Coopor. The com bined weight of the five gentlemen was more than 1,000 pounds. Their formidable npi uraii'c no doubt warned the President that they were not to lie trifled witii. They could have resented a refusal to accept tho invitation with crushing force, Kx-Gov. St. John, of Kansas, ha3 bobbed up ugain. He is attending tho annual rainp nioet ing held under the auspices of the Na tional Prohibition Association at Decatur, Ilk On July ho lie made ft speech, in tho course of which he said tliat woman euf frag" was a success in Kansas, and tliat the Prohibitionist* would elect their national ticket in 1892. The ex-Uovernor is more sanguine than reliable. The Democrats will not be ready to give up tho control of the govenuuf/nt in lbiti. A Remarkable Contest Nearly Ended. To-morrow Texas decides by ballot .whether or not intoxicating liquors are to be manufactured or sold within her borders except for medicinal, sacramental and sci entific purposes. The issue is presented in the shajie of a constitutional amendment, ond if tbe amendment is adopted the Legis lature, which meets next winter, will have to enact such legislation as mayjio neces sary to enforce prohibition. Texas has never been so thoroughly stirred up as she lias been since this prohi bition campaign began. There has never been a political campaign in the Btafce that equalled it in interest and excitement, and there have been very few campaigns any where of any kind so remarkable for ear nestness and bitterness. * Asa rule the leading Prohibitionists are preachers, lawyers, college professors, and teachers of the common schools, while the leading anti-Prohibitionist; are mainly politicians. There are some politicians, of course, on the prohibition side, and here and there a lawyer appears as an opponent of prohibition. Tlie teachers and preachers, however, and the mass of the better class of the native people are fighting on tbe side of prohibition. The anti-Prohibitionists have a more ample supply of money than their oppo nents, and buve lieen able, therefore, to se ctire the services of some very able speakers. The Prohibitionists, however, have not seri ously suffered for the want of either money or speakers. In about all of the most popu lous counties meetings have been held, and at nearly every big meeting there has been a barbecue. Asa general thing the fanners supplied the materials for the barbecne at tho Prohibition meetings, while the auti- Problbitioniste ware forced to purchase the supplies for their barbecues. What the result will bo • to-morrow it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty. Each side claims that it will be victorious. Both sides, however, it is safe to say, are very anxious about the result. The Democratic politicians, who are mainly against prohibition, are perhaps the best judges of how tbe vote will stand. They are inclined to think that prohibition will be defeated. In reaching this opinion they assume, however, that almost tbe whole of the negro vote, which is largo, will be cast against the amendment. They admit that if tlio question were left wholly to the Dem ocrats, .prohibition would be adopted by an overwhelming majority, as three fourths of them are in favor of it. But if the amendment is defeated the Pro hibitionists will not be without substantial benefits derived from the campaign, because tbe anti-Prohibitionists have promised that they will favor a high licenso so stringent and effective as to remedy many of tho evils of the liquor, traffic. Prohibition is gaining ground so rapidly that thinking men are lioginning to wonder whether it will not eventually control the whole country. Gulteau’s Anathema. Charles Reed, the lawyer who defended the assassin of Garfield, and who, in various ways within the past ten or fifteen years, has attracted tho attention of the public, has, according to our dispatches yesterday, been pronounced insane. This termination of Heed’s career affords some of the Wash ington correspondents an opportunity to again call attention to Guiteau’s alleged curse. They havo somethtng to say about it whenwer misfortune overtakes any one who had anything to do with Guiteau’s trial. It Ls stated that immediately after Guiteau wus sentenced ho “pronounced a withering curse on every one connected with the trial.” Doubtless ho said something show ing his hatred of those who assisted in prosecuting him, but it is doubtful if he had any ill-feeling against those who defended him. But whether he had or not death and misfortune liavo overtaken a great many of those engaged in the trial. They include lawyers, witnesses and jurors. Death has removed some of them and financial diffi culties have impoverished others. There is no doubt, however, that if they hail nob taken jxirt in the trial they would have boen overtaken by identically tho samo misfortunes. As for Charles Reed, tho outcome of his career has been just what might have been ex pected. Twenty years ago he was one of tho most popular young men in Chicago. He was the public prosecutor, and wus re garded as a vory able one. In social and religious circles ho was prominent. His office paid him $15,000 a year, and he was twice elected. Ho was defeated for a third term because it was discovered that he was not honest. Charges were brought nguinst him of a very grave character, and lie failed to show that they were without foundation. His career in Chicngo had alxmt come to a close when ho volunteered to act as Guitcau's counsel. Tho part he played in that trial did not increase his reputation as a lawyer. He subsequently went to Now York, hut failed to get a foothold there. He went down hill steadily until he was with out a nickel, and then ho attempted to take his life. His friends, if he has any, will cither have to take care of him or put him in an insane asylum. The unfortunate end ing of his career is not in any way connec ted with Guiteuu's alleged curse. It is tlie logical outcome of a dishonest and mis directed life. Sergt. Bates, who now lives in Floriilu, has boon ilaving his respects to Oeu. Tuttle. After reading tho latter's speech, in which he predicted another war tx)tween the Htates, the Sergeant wrote: “Wo have fine pasture lands and might turn our attention to the breeding of jackasses, but we nix* satLsfiixl that we can never compete with lowa’s leading production. tSince your grout speech we have conclud'd to abandon th.* enterprise, and leave lowa in tin* undis puted enjoyment of what we trust may lx* a profitable monopoly." Gen. Tuttle ought by this time to understand how small ho is. Others besides the Sergeant, havo taken pains to hold u mirror up to him. Johann Most, the New York Anarchist whom tl’.e insurance companies believe is re sponsible for a number of recent tiresin that city, made n speech the other day in Phila delphia. “I agree," he said, “with the An archist of Chicngo. I agree with every thing they did. I would and will do the same. lam proud of them.” Most must have liked prison life, for ho seems deter mined to havo himself placed behind tho bare again. Prom Jan. 1 to July 1, of this year, the number of deaths in New York was 19,312 and tlie number of births 15,342. The hnulth of the metropolis must bo very bud. If it were not for immigration, and tbe same rel ative rate of deaths utnl births should be maintained, it would not take Manhattan Island many years to lcomo a waste. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1887. The Blaine Procession. The correspondent of the Chicago News, who is following the Blaine procession around in Scotland, cables his paper that at a recent banquet Mr. Andrew Carnegie and his guest were avoided by the British aristo crats. This action, it is said, was the result of Mr. Carnegie’s letter declining to con tribute to the New York jubilee fund, and of some utterances of his since his arrival in Scotland. The Scottish yews, a Tory organ, followed up tho slight put upon Mr. Carnegie and his guest with a bitter attack upon them. Among other things the News says; “Mr. Carnegie is constantly puffed up with pride of his money-bags, an exagger uteri sense of his munificence; He is always self-conscious of the position his vulgar riches have purchased for him, and he is permanently determined to avenge the ill luck by which he was prevented from be coming a social notability in England. His wit, however, is not equal to the demands of his distempered vanity. Republicans from America havo sometimes produced a favorable impression by dint of a certain dignified reserve that characterizes the worthier of them, but Mr. Carnegie cannot conceal the conceit of his wealth any more than a peacock can bide tbe conceit of its tuil, Mr. Carnegie and his companion are very poor missionaries of Republican ism. Continually on the alert to cram their doctrines down our throats they only make themselves and all they represent nauseous. Mr. Carnegie is beyond the reach of argument, and should bo ostra cized. Apart from his Itenefaetions, which may yet prove dubious, too, Mr. Carnegie is an entirely objectionable person, and if Scotchmen have any regard for their good name they will hereafter shun him, dollars, democratism and all, as if he were a pesti lence.” Attacks like this are not calculated to make Mr. Blaine feel comfortable. He doubtless expected, when he went to Eurojie, to re ceive a great (leal of attention. Ho proba bly thought that association with Mr. Carne gie, who recently donated a quarter of a million dollars to found a free library in Edinburg, would lx: helpful to him. Social triumphs abroad, he no doubt argued, would increase his popularity at home. Attacks even from a Tory organ can hardly be pala table to him, and it is not to bo wondered at, therefore, that the report got abroad that he had determined to return homo. The Kentucky Returns. No particular interest Ls felt in the Ken tucky election returns outside of that State except in so far as they show tho strength of the respective parties. Nobody doubted that the Democratic ticket would be elected by the usual handsome majority, and it was expected that a Legislature would Ite 01001x31 that would give Senator Beck another term in tho United States Senate. Tho Prohibitionists and the Labor party had tickets of their own, and the full returns are looked for to soe what strength they de- veloped. Neither of these parties has a very strong hold in Kentucky, but if they show signs of increasing strength there it will bo taken as an indica tion that their strength is increasing elsewhere. The question which the jxili t icians are anxiously studying is this: What influence will tho Prohibition and Labor parties have upon the national contest next year? The belief is, of course, that the former will draw its strength chiefly from tho Republicans while the latter will hurt the Democrats somewhat, but there is great uncertainty whether the Prohibitionists will draw away from tho Republicans as many votes as the Labor party will draw away from the Democrats. The Kentucky returns may not furnish a satisfactory basis for cal culations respecting the Prohibition and Labor vote in other States, but there is, nevertheless, a very marked desire to see what they show. The statement is made that tho visit of Senators Vest, Plumb and Cameron to Alaska is intended for a more important purpose than that of pleasure. Senator Vest is a member of tlie Committee on Com merce ond of tho Commit AX! on Transporta tion Routes, etc. Senator Plumb is n mem ber of the Committee on Appropriations and chairman of the Committee on Public Lands. Senator Cameron is chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, and is a member of tho Committee on Commerce, and tho Committee on Coast Defenses. They will give their committees the benefit of their |x‘rsonal observations in Alaska, and it Ls expected that, their recommenda tions will have much influence in promoting legislation needed by tho Territory relating mainly to immigration, comm tc*, and the development o> its mining, coal and timber resources. The English aliens and non-voting resi dents of Connecticut arc engaged in a move ment similar to that recently started in Massachusetts. They propose to become naturalized, so as to procure political recog nition and tlie rights which citizens enjoy. A meeting was held in New Haven a few days ago, and another will lie held to-day for the purpose of securing concert of ac tion. It is said that there arc 4,000 English men in New Haven, and that only 500 of them are voters. All aro said to ho op posed to Mr. Blaine, so that by becoming citizens they aro not likely to add to the strength of the Republican party. In any event, it would lx! well if all the aliens re siding jiermanontly in tlie country should bee nne naturalized. Such a course would bo profitable both to them and to tho country. Nicholas Houghton, formerly an excise commissioner of New York, says; “No man ever went into polities who mis not bespat tered with mud. He may be the most lion orable and upright man in tho world. ll* may have a reputation that is perfect, but if he once dnbblos in politics lie will lie ut tuokod from every sido and in every con ceivable manner. I never knew it. to fail. My own experience in politics is that poli ticians are as honorable and ns upright as other men; no moro or loss.'’ Nicholas' experience must have lx*on with Democratic politicians. If he should over become inti mate with Republican politicians he would doubQen alter his opinion, at letvt in part. It is stated that the members of a fishing party who recently s]x>nt a week on the spot where the Philadelphia Coni Exchange reg iment mot with its heavy loss lu the battle of Antietam, twenty-five years ago, report that thoy found the eornploto skeleton of a mtui, and by its side the scnbhasd and blade of an officer’s sword. The Ixidy was in the midst of a thicket of young trees, which probably accounts for its living ovcrloolti*d for so loug a time. Then* being no clue as to the identity of tbe remains tho bones wore interred whore tho fishermen found them. The vostiges of war ure slow to dis appear. $ CURRENT COMMENT. They Regard It as a Joke. From the New York World (Dem.) William Walter Phelps bns telegraphed his congratulations to John Sherman on his ma chine-forced indorsement at the bands of the Ohio Republicans. This would indicate that the followers of Blaine regard the whole perform ance as a joke. The Latest Solution. From the Boston Herald (In d.) The latest solution of the Indian question is to pack off the Western tribes to England, where they will be sure to do the most good. That country is sending us a good many black sheep, and why in the world shouldn’t this country return .the compliment in kind. The departure of a second Wild West show for the other side this week indicates a willingness on the part of the red man to sec something of “high life" in the wilds of London. America is resigned. His Name Is Prudently Withheld. From the New York Star (Dem.) Tlie only dissent from the liemocratir chorus in favor of the renomination of President Cleve land is an alleged Democrat whose name is pru deutly withheld, who. through a sjieciLl to Re publican newspapers, accused the President of the grave offense of taking too much personal interest in the management of the departments at Washington, and says I hat the Cabinet ofll cers are very indignant about tbe Interference. Really, the Republican literary bureau must niauugi'to produce something better than this storv- something more probable, if not more truthful. There Ought to Be No Mistake. loom the Boston Globe (Dem.) But when it comes to States that the Democ racy holds, and can go on holding, there ought to be no mistake about the kind of reform pat ronized. None but true reformers must lie put on guard where there are electoral votes to Is* saved; reformers who believe in reform all over, believe in a Democratic administration ns the only effective agency of reform, and are willing to take their coats off, go into tlie caucuses and up to the convention, and see that that kind of reform, and President Cleveland as its foremost representative, shall is- unanimously, heartily and unreservedly indorsed.

The Expressionist heard a story recent!;- of a small negro boy who goes to Sunday school in the little brick church in Fort Erie. He got up to repeat the verge, 'lt is 1. lie not at raid. He conveyed the idea correctly, but in a shock ing manner by saying ''lt's me, don’t be scart.' : This calls to mind the case of the G-year-old pin in the Harbor Mission school, who was rather i mixed in her bcriptnre and in trying to say. "ADd 10, a greater than Solomon is here. " she got it, And 10, a greater than Sullivan is here." This, was, bv the way, a week or two after the John L.

From the Philadelphia News. “I can tell to what nationality a man be longs by seeing him while smoking," said a tobacconist to a reporter. “The Irishman takes a clay pipe and sticks it in the corner of his mouth until it touches the opposite corner. He then puffs with all his might—smack, smack—never taking it from his mouth until the tobacco is gone.” “The Frenchman will take his cheroot or ‘stogie,' and, grasping it near the end, take long, slow puffs, moving his fingers as if he were playing u ilute, letting his hands smell strongly of tobacco. •'The Englishman takes long, slow puffs, puckering up his mouth and letting his cigar or pipe slide slowly out of his mouth and back again with as much regularity as if ’twere an automaton. "The Turk reclines at his case on a couch ami smokes usually while talking, getting full benefit of every puff.” “Which is the right way?” “Give it up,” replied the tobacconist. Forever and a Day. “I love my love forever. Forever and a day I full of high endeavor, She but a frolic fay.

Dr. William Norwood, one of the oldest and best known preachers in the Episcopal chui'ch, died this morning at his residence in this city in the 81st year of his age. Dr. Norwood was born and raised in North Carolina, and came to Virginia as far back as 1 887 He was at one time Rector of St Paul's, the monumental church of this city, and ltterlv of Emanuel church. Henrico county. Wh< n Dr. Norwood was living in North Cab hna Horace Greeley, falling in love with a school teacher there, married her. The cere mony was performed by Dr. Norwood, and afterward he and Horace Greeley became intimately acquainted. When Horace (Ireeley came to Richmond to go on the bail bond of Jef ferson Davis he sought out Dr. Norwood, who was then in this city. The doctor and Mr. Greeley discussed various topics, and on one oc casion Dr. Norwood told Mr. Greeley that 1,0 thought the North ought to pay the Southern people for their slaves which were liberated by the war. Mr. Greeley replie 1 that he thought it >vas u monstrous proposition, hut that lie would give the matter Ms most careful thought and consideration. Some time afterward he met Dr. Norwoodagainand told himthathe had been thinking deeply over the subject about the Federal government paying the Southern people for their slaves, and had come to the conclusion that Dr. Norwood was right. ' ' Rough on the Chaplain. From the New York Tribune. Gen. N. P Banks tells a story about one of his army chaplains which never fails to “bring down" the Grand Army of the Republic camp fires. The chaplains of the regiments during the war hud charge of the nuiils for the regi mentis to which they were attached. Tile mail for file regiment of this particular chaplain had not come to hand for many days. Tho regi ment was out of the line of communication. Every day from one-half to two-thirds of the soldier boys filed up to tho chaplain’s tent with such stereotyped inquiries ns these: “Any mail yet. chaplain;” "Have yen heard from the mail?" “Do you know when the mails will come?” “What do you think is delaying the mail?" The good man was so pestered with inquiries that he had no time to prepare iris weekly ser mon He was obliged to spend all his time in explaining that be had no mail, and that he had heard nothing about the mall and that he knew nothing about tho mail. It occurred to him t liar he might put an end to his troubles by a sign. Procuring the bottom of an old hard tack box lie marked it with charcoal mid nailed it on a tree in front of his tent, so that all might see tliis notice: THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE. The next anxious inquirer that came along was a reckless young wag. lie gazed for a while at the notice and. discovering the niece of charcoal which the chaplain had dropped oil the ground at the completion of the sign, he seized it and added these words: AND HE DON’T CARE A D N. The chaplain took in the sign and never put out another one. A Hale Old Man. Sunday, July 3), was the mt!i birthday of (’apt. John Ericsson, whom this country will long have occasion to remember.

Mr. Denison is hardly more than a boy hi years, and his clever invention has created astonishment among those who have examined it. The women's jubilee offering to the Queen somewhat puzzled Burmese ladies who were asked to join in the royal gift. “Why should their sovereign want money," they inquired, “especially so soon after the annexation of Bur mail?” “Has she no rice!'” and “Can it be that she ha* no tobacco?” were frequent inquiries. For. all Burmese Indies smoke several cheroots daily, they became deeply sympathetic at the idea that their queen should he without the solace of tobacco amid her State catgs. A terrible BTonv from Kurrachee illustrates the dangers to which a man who “runs amuck" exposes his neighbors. A sepoy with forty rounds of ammunition broke loose among his comrades at 1 o’clock in the morning. He shot two follow sepoys, four shopkeepers, who were lying asleep outside their shops, and live cart liien. Jhe Regiment turned out in pursuit of him, and lie took refuge in a stone enclosure.

In treating a negro in I/lpsic for an ulcerated affection it was found necessary to replace por tions of the skin with pieces taken from one or two white persons. These latter pieces gradu ally grew darker in color, and finally as black as the patient's own skin. This singular fact led to an experiment being made of transposing portions of black skin on a white patient, and it was found that offer a few weeks these began to grow pale. In less than fourteen weeks they had. in fact, grown so white as not to tie distin guishable from the patient’s natural skin.

A clock recently patented in Franco is an imitation of a tambourine, on the parchment head of which is painted a circle of flowers, corresponding to the hour figures of ordinary dials. On examination two bees, one large and the other small are discovered crawling among the flowers. The small bee runs rapidly from one flower to another, completing the circle in nn hour, while the large one takes twelve hours to complete the circuit. Tho parchment sur face is unbroken, anil the bees simply laid upon it. but two magnets connected w ith the clock work Inside the tambourine move just uuder the membrane, and the insects, which are of iron, follow them. Tut: Imperial boll of Cologne, one of the larg est in the world, is famous not alone for its di mensions and its powerful sound, but still more for its persistent—silence. For now upwards of four years its lironze mouth has not spoken: in fact, tile bell has never yet invited the faithful to sivvice. because it remains thus far unblessed bv tiic church.although the present incumbent of the Arch-episcopal Fee has resided nearlvtwo years within the shadow of the dome. Quite recently the architect of the cathedral formally appealed to the ecclesiastical dignitary, Dr. Krementz, who, however, lays the blame to the government authorities. In turn the Minister of Worship has since been addressed on the subject of the bell, and it is now believed that he will. rre lone, take the necessary steps to have it solemnly consecrated. Miners are superstitious as well as sailors. A well known contractor was telling tho casual of tho New York Graphic the other day of the ex traordinary confidence the presence of rats iu a shaft gives the workmen. It is often iui|>oa sible to tell in drilling and blasting whet her a vein of rock is solid or cracked, hard or soft, safe or dangi rons under the concussions of an explosion. And yet, no matter how dubious tin- men have been as t i their safety under sus picious conditions, tie 1 discovery of a rat iu their neighborhood quite restores their confi dence. and they will inarch without hesitation ui*m the most threatening wall and conduct without fear powerful blasts. Experience lias shown th"in that rills never r eek dangerous ledges. The instinct of self-preservation in the rodent Is as keen as in the elephant. Nature lias the same wonderful care for the least as for the greatest of her creations.
