Cheap Column AnvEttxisEME.vrs Miscella neous. The festive but hard-working cotton worm has made his appearance in the cotton fields in some parts of the South. Estimates of the damage he is likely to do are now in order. Senator Riddleberger, of Virginia, hasn't ■made any reputation in the Uqjted States Senate, but his name will be prominent in his State as long as the debt question is an issue there. Jacob Sharp manages somehow or other to keep out of the penitentiary. There is beginning to be an impression in New York that he will never put on the striped gar ments of the convict. Higgins has declared himself in favor of the renomination of Mr. Cleveland. This would seem to indicate that notwithstanding his talk he has been converted to the Presi dent’s civil sendee reform policy. The Boulanger-Ferry affair is off. Some of the French journals ore inclined to insin uate that M. Ferry is a coward. They must be mistaken, for it requires more courage in France to refiLD a challenge to fight a duel than to acoept it. The Republicans don’t display much wis dom in their policy with respect to the South. They are aiming to split it with the protection idea, and at the same time ore doing what they can, by means of the bloody shirt, to keep it solid. The refusal of the jury at Edgefield, S. C., the other day, to find a verdict of guilty against the ringleaders of the lynchers of Culbreatii, has given to the press of the country the opportunity to say that it is about impossible to convict a white man of murder in South Carolina. Ex-Congressman Casey Young, of Mem phis, Tenn., says that there is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Cleveland is the choice of his section of the South for next President. Mr. Young's information is not new. Tbo South is solid for Mr. Cleve land's renomiuation, •* %s renomi nated it will give him a•' F.G' te. There are about 100 the depart ments at Washington who are practicing physicians, and there is a movement on foot to compel them to give up their offices or to stop practicing their professions. It is not believed that they can servo their patients well and at the same time uttend properly to their duty in the government’s service. The New York Tribune is "always pre dicting scandals in someone of the depart ments. It now has its scandal flag up for the Treasury Department, and says that a scandal may be looked for soon. The Tribune's scandal flag is not quite as relia ble as tho weather flag of the Signal Her vice Bureau, and no alarm is felt when it makes its appearance. Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, has the reputation of I icing the most successful canvasser of the deportments for places for his friends of any man in public life. Almost any man can acquire distinction if ho will take the trouble to find out what he can do with the greatest prospect of suc cess. But Senator Hansom is fitted for something else than canvassing for offices. The Philadelphia Time* thinks that tho recent prohibition contest in Toxas shows that existing political parties um held together loosely, and arc ready to fall apai t, and recrystalllzc around any living igsue. The Time* seems to ignore tho fact that party lines were not drawn in Texas. The Democratic State- Convention positively announced that prohibition was not u party issue'. The Democrats of Texas will bo found voting with their party on all party questions. In answer to tho question, shall the gov ernment own the railroads? tho New York Herald says that "tho people can take care of themselves if the government will mitul its own bu&inws.” The people will gen erally agree to this. The government lias about as much to attend to now as it cun handle satisfactorily. The effort should lie to decrease rather than increase the num ber of government employee. If the govern ment owned the railroad* it would bo n pretty difficult matter to effect a change in the control of the government. Tho coun try would then have more centralization than would be healthy for it. A Washington special to the New York Sun contains the information that some Congressmen have suggested a scheme to the editor of the Congressional Director i/ which if carried out would gratify their vanity and save them some cash. It is to publish an illustrated biographical directory qt the Fiftieth Congra—■ The scheme would be to insert a nicely photo-engraved por trait. cabinet size, of every Senator and member and make a largo, sumptuous vol ume. costing something like gH.’i to ouch subscriber for the first volume and übout $3 for duplicate". Asa matter of personal eoonomy it would save some Congressmen a good deal. A jiopular member, who ha* •ervod three or four terms and knows every body, sjiends usually from $l3O to t'Klil u year for photograptis for his inliHiring fcl- ■ low members and the “buys” at bourn I A New Evangelist Needed. A noted public man who died the other day left ir w riting a confession of his faith, which concluded with the expression: “God bless all mankind." His raligion was of the catholic kind tliat caused him to feel kin ship with all his fellows. It was noticeable because it was uncommon; for, however, men may protest to the contrary, it is un fortunately a fact that the multiplicity of religious sects prevents catholicity and makes Christianity a thing not as lovely as it should be. A few days ago the Now York Trilmnc told a story that suggests quite as valuable a lesson to humanity as that contained in the words; "God bless all mankind." It seems that a rugged, but expensive, monu ment in a New York cemetery has aroused tho curiosity of thousands of visitors during tho last few years. The well trimmed green turf of the lot in which the monument stands is unbroken except by a grave mound, which is low-roundtd and has no headstone or footstone. At the back of the lot rises a huge block of gray granite', roughly hewn. Only an the front is there the murk of a chisel. There a panel about a foot in length has been cut, and it Is filled with the large, polished letters of a single word; ‘‘Forgive.’’ There is no name on the monument to tell whose memory it is meant to perpetuate. When questioned the sexton tells this story: "They say it was a man what is buried hen 1 , and a woman in black conies now and then to look at the stone. She goes away again without saying any thing to nobody, and why she put ‘forgive' on the stone nobody can tell." A reporter, whose cariosity lod him to consult another authority, found tliat the , body of a gentleman named William H. Core was buried in the lot in October, 18*1, and that soon afterward the monument war; erected by his widow, Hannah Core. Fur ther inquiry showed that the inscription on the granite block had a simple explanation. Mr. Core, who was a devout cbureli mem ber, died h lingering death from paralysis. In his Inst conscious moments he expressed a desire to forgive everybody who hail wronged him iu any manner, and he died with the word "forgive" on his lips. It may not be tho business of a secular newspnjier to meddle in church affairs, but it cannot lie amiss for it to manifest interest in a question which concerns all mankind. The Christian religion would be a much greater power if its adherents followed more closely the command of its founder, to live at peace with each other and with the rest i>f mankind borides. Some of tho so-called Evangelists who roam about tho country taking up collections and abusing all who differ with them ought to learn this lesson, that "God bless all mankind,” and“ Forgive,” are much more effective sermons than all the denunciation that ever fell from lips claiming to be preaching the gospel. A Romance With a Moral. At one of the summer resorts wlflch nlound in North Georgia a father and mother and their daughter, a handsome young lady not quite 20 years of age, spent two months a few years ago. They boarded with a private family. Among other visi tors at the resort was a young man who was quite promiuont upon all social occasions. He was not a native of Georgia, he said, but was from a Western State. Ho seemed to have plenty of money, he was not ill-look ing, he had plausible manners and he made himself agreeable. Ho was in troduced to the young lady at a picuic. Their acquaintanceship almost immediately became friendship, and the latter, upon the part of the young ludy, at least, soon ripened into love. They be came engaged. Tho young man explained to the father and mother that his family was good; that he had ample means, and that his presenco in Georgia wus due to tho fact that he had been nearly every where and wanted to enjoy whatever pleasure he could find In now fields. Neither father nor mother made any inquiries übout him, hut, ns many other parents have done in similar cases, accepted his statement as true. Within a few months the young people were married. There is a sequel to this little romance, and it is one that is not uncommon. Tho young man was an impostor. Ho was of good family, but he had no money and his habits were very bad. Father, mother and wife decided to make tho test of affairs, and, if possible, to conceal their bitter dis appointment. Tho father bus a worthless son-ill-law to support, tho mother grieves over tho blasted life of her daughter, and the unhuppy wife lives in seclusion and nurses her woes. Of course, this little romance has a moral. Young ladies are frequently not careful enough about the acquaintances they make. They easily allow themselves to te imposed upon by almost any good-looking young man who seems to have money and whoso manners are pleasant. Parents are often not sufficiently cautious about countenanc ing their daughters’ associates. Certainly when marriage is in the question tho most careful inquiries should be made ateut the men who wish to tecomo tho husbands of their daughters. It is always well, where the suitors are strangers, to find out alt there is to know about them. Advice like this is often given. Unfortunately, it is seldom heeded. Tlio New York Graphic has a level head about some things. With reference to the Glenn bill it says: “The lower house of tho Georgia Legislature lius passed a bill pro hibiting the education of blacks and whites in the same schools. Probably this bill will be presented by llic Northern Republican press as evidence of a revival of race trouble in the Houtli; but wo notice no disposition or. the part of Northern whites to mingle mis cellanoouitly with their colored friends, and there is no Northern office so cheap that a Mack man is given a chance to occupy it. The bill is proper and will undoubtedly lie come n law.” No, the Northern people don’t wont black men in their olHeos nor black children in their schools, but they dis play an amazing anxiety to get the black man into office in tho South and to have Southern schools mixed. Perhaps the Bos ton Traveler and tho Philadelphia /Yes* can explain this remarkable condition of tho Northern mind. Kansas is taking the load in the business of canning vegetables. A single firm at Lawrence, in that State, lias put up 000,000 ciuis of tomatoes, nnd has ready for ship ment cans of peus. This is an indus try that wotild doubtless prove profitable in Georgia. It is at least worth tho experi ment. It is stated that an enormous quantity of opium is consumed in Ibis country. As ; proof the fact is cited that ut a single recent , government sale of smuggled opium, in San Francisco, $40,300 was realized. A move- I to prohibit opium eating is iu order. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1887. Gould as an Anarchist. Many hard tilings have been said of Jay Gould, but perhaps the hardest wus said by John A. Henry, a professed Anarchist, who delivered ua address in New York the other night at a meeting of the Socialistic Later party. Its name was the biggest thing about Henry's audience, for there were present to hear him four women, four reporters, and eleven other individuals supposed to te So cialists. Henry announced that it was liis purpose to justify Jay Gould from tho standpoint of anarchism. Anarchism, he held, meant individualism. Socialism meant “all for one ami one for all.” Gould was an Anarchist, not a Socialist, and believed in the motto “Each for himself." Illustrating the meaning of the motto which he said Gould believed in, Henry de clared that every murder was an act of self-defense. A man who killed another was merely seeking his own comfort. He was what he was by force of circumstances, not by reason of anything over which he had any control. Each man should be a law and a government unto himself, and he would fulfill truth, justice and liberty when obeying the behest of his senses and his im pulses. In this general principle all the dogmas of Anarchism was contained, and Gould was its prophet. It is quite generally agreed that Gould is for lrinrself above all others. Outside of the members of bis family it is doubtful if he has any warm friends. Ho has not dis tinguished himself by public benefactions, and if his private charities are either largo or numerous the public are not aware of it. Henry, therefore, may have a little reason for claiming him as an ally. But the shin ing lights among the Anarchists in this country arc several lengths ahead of the position iu which Henry places Gould. They aro not only "each for himself ” as far as obeying the behest of thfir senses and impulses is con cerned, but they wish to nullify all laws. It is quite safe to say that Gould entertains no such wish. On the contrary he doubtless wishes that the laws were stronger and more vigorously enforced. After all, however, Henry’s statements re garding Gould mean that the money king occupies an unenviable position. His selfish hunt for money causes him to seem to bo an Anarchist to a crank. Etiquette on Street Cars. A writer in the New York Graphic dis courses pleasantly but pointedly about the growing tendency of men to refuse to give up their seats to women when riding in street cars. He suggests thut tho German population of the country is mainly respon sible, because that population is disposed to te selfish about its comforts. This, however, is hardly tho reason why men are rapidly coming to treat women in public convey ances as they treat men. It is more likely tliat women themselves arc responsi ble. It is always hazardous to discuss tho faults of women, but tho truth ought to prevail even where they aro concerned. If tradi tion is true there was u time when women would acknowledge the courtesies shown them by men in public conveyances by a smile and a “thank you.” Now, however, it is unfortunately the case that such an acknowledgement is so rare that it causes surprise when it is expressed. 'Women exact courtesies from men as if they were their right. This is all well enough, but men have certain rights also, upd one of them is that they shall te thanked for the courtesies they extend. When a tired man gives up his seat in a street car to a woman and receives in return nothing but a frowning stare, which seems to suy, “Why are you so slow about it?” it is natural that he should feel vexed. It is also natural tliat he should re solve never to show a similar courtesy to any other woman. If women desire to have the old-time courteous treatment thoy received in public conveyances from men restored, they must exert themselves to show some appreciation of such treatment. To say this may be un gallaut, but then the ease is one which re quires plain utterances, even if they are unpleasaut. A Short Road to tho Penitentiary. The bill introduced into tho Legislature by Representative McLendon, of Thomas county, authorizing Judges of Superior Courts to receive from felons pleas of guilty when tlioir respective courts are not in ses sion, and to sentence such felons, is nn im portant one, anil is entitled to careful con sideration. The aim of it is to lesson tho expenses of counties in maintaining crimi nals in their jails, anil to enable criminals, who are desirous of admitting their guilt to enter upon their terms of imprisonment without waiting, in many instances, for months for on opportunity to do so. It sometimes happens that indictments are found just at the close of a term of court,, and the indicted parties are compelled to wait in the county jail, if they cannot get bail, for six months perhaps, for the next regular term, before their cast* can be dis jiosed of. If tlie accused jiurties desire to plead guilty the counties arc burdened with an unnecessary expense, and the criminals are forced to remain in idleness, when they would rather be serving out their sentences in the penitentiary. Care is taken, of course, to prevent an in noeent. man from being sentenced. A per son charged with a felony who has not been indicted, but who wonts to plead guilty, can do no, hut tho Solicitor General must tirst draw up a statement of the facts in the case and lilo the same in the records of tho Court Tho bill nppears to be a good one, and if pass' 1 will doubtless result in lessening tho criminal costs of tho different counties. Tho officers of tho last House have, it seems, been doing a splendid piece of elec tioneering. It was thought when the last Congress adjourned they would all have to go, but it is stated that they have received assurances which encourage them to hot*' for re-election. For Clerk. Postmaster and Sergeant-at-Arms, Messrs. Clark, Pulton mid Loodom, the present incumbents, re spectively, seem still to have the field to , themselves. Several gentlemen have nn- j nounced themselves as coini'ctitors of Col. j Samuel Donolson for tho doorkcoporship, i hut he has the decided advantage of a com- 1 pact aud determined following. Thecandi- j dates against Col. Donolson, so far as at present known, are Mr. Hurt, of Mississippi; 1 Mr. Barnett, of New York, and Mr. Walker, | of Minnesota. As at present organized, ' aside from the Speaker, tho officers nr equally divided iietwoen the North and the South. Tho old officers have a very decided advantage over the now candidates. Among j these new candidates, however, there are 1 several jwpular and influential gentlemen, j and they may be able to get what they are ' sue king. CURRENT COMMENT. A Splendid Achievement.

From the yew York Sun. Jamestown-, Aug. 5. Pardon Worsley, “the Union Spy of the Shenandoah," died at bis home at Fosterbrook, S, Y.. on Wednesday, aged 67 yeaisj Beginning life as a fancy goods merchant in Massachusetts, at the opening of the late war he raised a company of the Fourteenth Massachusetts Heavy Ar tillery. He was soon afterwuid employed by Gen B. F. butler, in the name of tne United States, to go into the lirifisb provinces to look into tne system of blockade running then in vogue. He teas successful in the mission, for Gen. C. C. Augur, in his report of Aug. 2), )SOS, says that it was through the instrumentality of Mr. Worsley that the extensive system of blockade running from Baltimore and Wash ington was broken up. After returning from this trip Worsley went out as a spy upon Mosby, under orders from Gen. Augur, though not until he had returned to Boston mid married Helen Isabel Francis, who survives him. Accompanied by his young wife Worsley set out, ostensibly upon a ped dling trip through Virginia. His real object was soon suspected by Mosby and a spy was placed upon his track The spy was a hand some young lady, who was to be conducted to Washington by worsley. The Union spy was too smart to tie caught, and instead of using his pass through the Union linos he conducted the lady through swamps aud byroads mi til she became disgusted with the trip, and she re turned to Mosby convinced of the loyalty of Worsley. Mosby wus not, however, convinced, and at one time placed a pistol to Worsley's head, threatening to blow Ins brains out. The young lady interceded and Worsley's life was saved. Afterward Mosby was his firm friend, lighting u duel with a nephew of Gen. Lee be cause Lieut. Lee had set a guard upon Worsley and had condemned him as a spy. On two occasions Worsley furnished informa tion by which the Federal forces were enabled to surround the house in which Mosby was quai' tered, but the duslung soldier cut his way out and escaped, <>n several occasions he got informa tion of intended raids ui>on Washington in time to allow the authorities to mass their forces aud save the capital. At the time of the assassina tion of President Lincoln Worsloy received com mand of a squad of detectives, and when Booth was killed ho retired to private life. For the past ten years he has run a park restaurant in the Bradford oil field. EVOLUTION IN GIRLS’ NAMES. The Quaint Appellations of Our Grand- Going Out of Fashion. From the Portland Press. In a recent communication to the Bangor Historical Magazine Joseph Williamson, Esq., of Belfast, has given a list of marriages in Bel fast Town from 1774 to 1614, inclusive. The names of most of them are familiar to-day. We find John, James, Charles, Jacob, Henry, William, etc., occurring again and again. It is interesting to observe the names of the women. Among them arc Jarah, Deborah. Lois, Keziuh, Priscilla, Barsheba, Theodate, Narassa, Grizel, Kaehel, Phut be. Wealthy, Love, Charity, Tem perance. The 112 girls used but forty-five Christian names among them. Polly, Betsy. Hally, Jane, Susannah, Nuny, Abigail, and Mehitable, very popular names among our grandmothers, have been put away, like the old ball-dresses and high-heeled slippers that figured in sobiety in the days of Gen. Knox. To day, distinguished by such names as Annie, Alice, Mabel, Jennie, and Grace, the beamy transmitted from other generations continues its perjietual sway. An other thing noticeable is the disappearance of such quaint names as Wealthy, Love, Charity, and Temperance. They have gone with the Pollies aud Sallies. Delight alone among the names of 1867 is left to suggest that a trace of the old Puritan sentiment yet survives. Is this evolution of names only the result of a change of custom y Or it is a natural dependent upon other causes* Perhaps the names of to-day are more refined aud dehcate sounds when spoken, and therefore more fitting to the young ladies of 1667, who are admitted, of course, to have added the refinement of the present to the in herited beauty of the past. WHAT A MAINE DRUNK COSTS An Appreciative Gentleman Who Would Not Sell Out for $2. From the Lewiston Journal. Standing in the lobby of a hotel in Bangor, not long ago, I got into conversation with a gentleman who was representing a medical ap paratus with a long Greek name. It is not my intention to give the arrangement for vapor baths a puff, but I do want to describe a rather funny incident that followed our conversation. My companion hud just been describing to me how his process would sober off in half an hour a man on the verge of delirium tremens, and how many men never thought of going home to their families without having recourse to this machine. While we were talking, a man evidently under the influence of too much libatious came in, and leaning over the counter, began a rather thick conversation with the clerk. We sauntered over and soon were on the best of terms wit h the dev otee of Bacchus. After awhile the man said he wished he could taper off and go home. Here was an opportunity, and the machine above referred to was explained to him. Five minutes later he had staggered up-stairs and stood ready to be cured. His coat was already off when a drunken iilea seized him. "Shay, what er th' cost of a bathy" he asked. “Two dollars," was the reply. “Well—hie—this drunk cost s2l, and no feller's going to get it for $2. I'll keep it first.” A Lover’s Letter.

Dancing, rowing, yacht sailing, riding, Aud ail the gayety, aii the fun: Yet you tell me still, it Is dull aud stupid, (Good girl!) and you wish it over and done: And you “long to feel the old pavements under Y’our feet once more, and the dreamy charm Of the avenue breeze through the "twilight blowing And * * your hand on somebody's strong, kind nrm.” For me. I work till the day is ended. Then smoke and dream, while the street lamps shine, And think of the time we will sit together, Your cheek on my shoulder, your hand in mine. And look out over the sleeping city With the beautiful bright dark sky above. Too poor for Newport, oj* Narragansett, But rich as ifttSers, in faith and love. 1 smoke and dream, while I build my castles— Such wonderful structure*, so bright and fair; No space for sorrow, no room for weeping— Too had their basis should be but air. Yet 1 dream and hope till sleep comes to claim me. My castles vanish; I quench the light, But I breathe your name In a little prayer, dear. While you aro dancing. Sweetheart, good night. M. S.

They were sitting on the front veranda, wait ing for the old gentleman to come out and inti mate that it was getting along toward to-' rnorrow. “George, wusn’t that queer al>out that woman having a man arrested for putting his arm around her!" she remarked, during a lapse in the conversation. “1 don't know,” replied George. “Seems to me she might have been a little milder." Then there was another pause. At leugtli she interrupted it. '‘George, she said, softly. •Well.” “I’atut says the policemen on this beat are too worthless for auytliing. If I was to scream ever so hurd, I don't believe any of them would hear it," George pondered a little, and soon the con versation was nothing but a continuous lapse. Ho Hud a Scheme.

Merriim ob serves in ihe American Magazine, brings the various religious denominations most closely together in the ideal universal Church. The old Roman forms have bequeathed to the various liturgies their choicest prayers and praise--their Glorias, Te Peums and anthems. We uncon sciously, in our devotions, use the unsurpassed passages of the Litany und collects and prayers of our Episcopal brethren. We sing Wesley's hymns in Calvanistic churches, and many a de vout Methodist breathes out his faith in the Evangelical hymn, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee." We love to raise our voices to the words of St. Bernard and Francis Zavier found in our Presbyterian hymn liooks. "Lead, Kindly Light," sings the Catholic Newman: “Nearer, My God, to Thee," pleads in song the Unitarian Miss Adams; "In the Cross of Christ I Glory," shouts Bowring the Unitarian: “Angels of Jesus," prays the Catholic Faber: “One Sweetly Solemn Thought." sings the Universal ist Phtebe Carey.

There are all kinds of ruffling of plain and lace trim med crepe lisse.

While Jacob Leasure tossed uneasily on his couch in Bradford, Pa., one night recently, a big black spider which had crawled down from his fort upon the ceiling alighted on his bed. The first thing the spider did was to bite the sleeping man on the first finger of the left baud. Then he crawled up a little higher aud bit him on the arm. After that he left liis murk on the sleeping man's forehead and oar. He had bitten Mr. Leasure four times, but was not satisfied. His last bite was tmder the right eye. By this time Mr. Leasure's left arm pained him so that he awoke. He felt something on bis face and knew that it was stinging him. He crushed it with his left hand and then called his mother. By the light he saw that the thing that had bothered him was a spider. He put on his clothes and went out to see a physician, who advised bint to put raw meat over the bites. His arm then was sore and numb. No serious results are anticipated, but Mr. Leasure will hereafter see to it that no spiders arc harbored in his room. There is some excitement at Ilortonville, a viilage twenty-five miles from Indianapolis, over the discovery of a pot of gold which was buried under the residence of Solomon Hiatt, who is now dead, and who, it has always been understood, settled on the farm in an early day for the purpose of finding that very pot. lie was one of the very- earliest settlers, and ho was told by un old Indian chief that when the Indians were living in this part of the new pur chase, t' onty-five miles due north from Indian apolis, at the head of the Big Dismal, they had left “heap big money" buried under a stone which had a tomahawk and a turkey's foot cut in it.

Hiatt lived to be nearly 100 years old, and a few days before his death he told his children that he knew of something that would make them all rich, but that be would not tell them. The pot of money found beneath his house is supposed to be the thing referred to by him. It contained several thousand dollars. “Tiie brigand season,” writes a Janina corre spondent of the Levant Herald, “is at its height.
