The B'rmingham Herald mixes up the Georgia Simmonses in a way that shows it doesn't keep the run of Georgia politics. Bit then the Herald is very young, and has a groat deal to learn. Hie white citizens of Kathburn, Tenn., atv excited because two white men have been “converted’’ by the preaching of a negro minister, and have joined a colored church, which they regularly attend. Their accession probably adds nothing to the standing of the church in any way. Ifcnay be the negroes are the ones who ought to object. e Is it possible that all the men who want offices have been supplied! It is said at Washington that nobody has taken any steps to secure the place Assistant Secretary of State Porter makes vacant by resigning. Perhaps the politicians have found out that “influence” isn’t worth anything with Mr. Cleveland, and that the best way to get office is not to apply for it. The new Consolidated Stock and Petro leum Exchange, of New York, has laid tho cornerstone of its fine new building. It hus 2,400 members, more than twice the nutnlier which the Stock Exchange admits, and may prove a formidable rival to the old concern. If it can succeed in making stock gambling unprofitable it will have done good service Id the country in a way not intended. Benry George has been talking to a news paper reporter about his chances of election as Secretary of State'of New York. He speaks confidently of receiving 1115.000 votes, but why he should settle on that odd num ber of thousands is not stated. Mr. George, if he is sincere, is in danger of experienc ing a very severe and disagreeable shock when the announcement of the vote is made. The Pennsylvania railroad is experiment ing with a view to improving the condition of its roadbed, and has imported steel rails, of the English pattern, to lay four miles of track. It is strange that the protectionist papers have not held up the unpatriotic man agers of the road to public scorn, now that all free passes are said to have been called in, and they are free to say what they please. Congressman Kelley has been talking as to the proper policy of the Republican party in nominating its next oamdidate for the Presidency. He expressed the opinion that it would be liest to nominate an “obscure" man, ami immediately asked, “Why not go out to lowa and take Senator Allison?’’ The Senator will not probably feel much gratitude for an indorsement expressed in such terms. There is a lively war in |iassenger rates on the roads centering at Chicago, which the Alton road inaugurated, in violation of pledges to its rivals. Its managers now claim they did not intend to cut rates, hut say all the trouble has been caused by a printer’s error. The printer is a patient man, and is used to bearing the blame for other people’s shortcomings. But may lie he could show the “copy.” Baltimore and Ohio stock hus declined from 175, a few months ago, to 125. Balti more holders are selling out, and there is u rumor afloat that investigation shows the proposed loan of $10,000,000 will lack several millions of extinguishing the floating debt. Mr. Garrett is probably happier in Europe than he would be if within speaking dis tance of the people who are suffering from the effects of his alleged mismanagement. A murder occurred at Dallas, Tex., the other day, the circumstances of which carry a moral lesson. W. B. Jones concluded eighteen months ago that he wished to get married, and advertised for a wife. Ho •oon got one, ulmost as soon bocumo jealous of her, and shot her dead on the street. More than one case lias occurred in Georgia where groat wrongs have sprung from a resort by foolish people to advertisements to secure acquaintances. (senator Sawyer, of the New Hampshire Legislature, and Mr. Pierce, the man whom he accuses of having attempted to britm him, have been before an investigating committee, and under oath make statements directly opposed to each other. Like most itavestigutions of the kind, this will proba bly accomplish nothing useful. Bribery is one of the most difficult of criinoi to prove, because of the lark of wltnewes, as well as other evidence, and there are few men who, when guilty of the crime, will not resort to the comnuraUvely safe defense of periurv. The State Road Must Be Protected. The Railroad Committee of the House has reported favorably a bill authorizing the extension of the Marietta and North Geor gia railroad from Marietta to Atlanta. The Atlanta Constitution , in speaking of the bill, says: “The whole press of the State unites in giving the measure its heartiest indorsement, and no question before the Legislature has been more generally dis cussed or more emphatically approved than this.” Is not the Constitution slightly mis taken aliout the |iosition of the press with respect to this bill? If we are not mistaken a very considerable portion of the press, when this bill was before the House sever al weeks ago, in a little different shape, op posed it. The ground of opposition was that the extension of the Marietta and North Georgia to Atlanta would make the State road less valuable by depriving it of a [iart of its business. It is hardly probable that the legislature will pass this bill, and the people doubtless would like to know the reasons which in fluenced tlie Railroad Committee to report it favorably. It has not lieen very long since the Legislature agreed to release the Marietta and North Georgia from the pay ment of about 8100,00(1 in bonds held by the State, though the people were never quite able to see why it did so. Is it probable that it will still further favor this road by granting it a privilege that will injure the State road to the extent of many hundreds of thousands of dollars? If it does it will fall far short of being a very zealous guardian of the people’s interests. The lease of the State road will soon ex pire. The question whether the road shall be leased or sold is now pending. It will have to be either leased or sold, and the people want to realize all they can for it. If the Marietta and 'North Georgia is per mitted to extend its line to Atlanta will it be possible to either sell or lease the State road for anywhere near as much as if the privilege sought by the former road is de nied? Of course not. Is it not, therefore, preposterous to expect that the legislature will take from the pocuets of the people hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars for no other reason than to ad vance the interests of a private corpora tion? 0 The Morning News said some time ago that one of the strong arguments ill favor of selling the State road was that while it remained the property of the State it might be an obstacle to the grant ing of other char ters, but it never favored granting a privi lege to the Marietta and North Georgia, or any other road that would cause a deprecia tion in the value of the State road. Every taxpayer in the State has an inter est in tlie State road. In proportion as its earning power is damaged the rate of taxa tion must be increased Those who are in terested in the Marietta and North Georgia are comparatively few in number, and those who are most deeply interested in it are not even residents of the State. What sound reason, therefore, can be advanced for legis lation that will cause a depreciation in the value of the property of the jieople and an appreciation in that of a private corpora tion? When the original charter of the Marietta and North Georgia was granted it was un derstood that it was to be a feeder for the State road. For that reason it was aided by the State with convict labor. Now it not only wants to cease to lie a feeder for the State road, but wants to deprive that road of a part of its business. Everything it takes from that road it takes, of course, from the people of the State. Does it not seein as if the people had done enough for the Marietta and North Georgia? Last year they released it from thapayment of bonds to the amount of 8100,000, and they certainly ought not to be expected to grant another favor that will cost them a very much greater sum. If the members of the legislature consult the sentiments of their constituents they will not open a way for the Marietta and North Georgia to Atlanta as long as the State road is the property of the State. Criminals Must be Caught. The County Commissioners have de termined to assist in bringing criminals to justice in this county. A‘t their meeting yesterday they agreed to make appropria tions for expenses of county officers engaged in searching, under the direction of the So licitor General,for persons charged with hav ing eommittod offenses against the laws. The course of the Commissioners will doubtless meet with public approval. The feeling is constantly growing stronger that no effort should lie spared to punish crimi nals, particularly muixlerers and those guilty of murderous assaults. There is no doubt that the prevalent belief, that it is not a difficult matter to escape, is not without its influence in increasing tho number of murders and attempts to commit murder. If a murderer gets beyond tho limits of the city the efforts to arrest him are not great unless his vic tim's friends are willing to furnish the nooes sary money to bear the expenses of pursuit and provide a reward. The action of the Commissioners indicates anew departure. In future those who com mit murder, and other heinous offenses in this county, are to be caught and punished if it is possible to do so. Now lot us have a strengthening of public sentiment against those who commit crimes of violence. Let the sentiment lieeonieso strong that no jury will dare to release a murderer, or to send him to the penitentiary when he should be hung. Col. Jones, of the Second Alabama regi ment, recently sent to Gov. Lounsbury, of Connecticut, a flag captured with the Sixteenth regiment of Connecticut troops at Plymouth, N. C., during the war, and thought to have been its battle-flag. He probably thought the Connecticut veterans would be grateful, but they were not, claim ing that though they were captured, their battle-flag was not, but was torn into stri[>s, distributed among the soldiers, and after ward piit together again when the men were released from prison. A battle-flag preserved from capture by such means may be interesting because of its curious experi ence, but it must be accepted as evidence of the well known ingenuity of the Connecti cut Yankee rather than of his courage as a soldier. The flag returned by Col. Jones, it is said, was used as a guidon, and never carried into battle. The man Phipps, of Philadelphia, who ' stole the copper roof of the almshouse five or six years ago, and who won fame and quarters in the penitentiary by his novel crime, is neur the end of his sentence. He claims to trnvo been punished for a crime of which ho was not alone guilty, and pro poses to make it lively for those who have eM'U[M*d as soon ns he get s out. He doubt less wants hush money, and if hi* story is true, he will probably get it. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1887. The Standard of Business Morality. There has been an epidtmic of defalca tions, breaches of trust and crooked busi ness transactions during the last few months in nearly all parts of the country, and this city has not escaped it. Wealthy and prominent business men engaged in corner ing the wheat market, or in floating great railroad schemes, have not hesitated to use the [>ower with which they were clothed to rob the banks with which they were con nected, or to issue fraudulent railway shares. Officials holding positions of trust have re sorted to forgery to get money to carry on speculations or to minister to their pleas ures. Partners have violated their obliga tions to their firms and clerks have robbed their employers of small sums, at different times, until their stealings amounted to so much that they could no longer lie con cealed, or they have taken thousands of dol lars in a lump und fled. Th* standard of morality in the business world appears to tie lower than ever before, and is a reasonable cause for alarm among thinking men. It is about impossible to pick up a newspaper without finding an ac count of a dishonest transaction of some sort. Unless something is done to bring about a more healthy condition of affairs, there will be such a lack of confidence that it will be difficult to carry on business with the ease and facility that are necessary to handle its increasing volume. Men having large interests at stake will hesitate to trust their employes, and will be afraid to invest in companies and institutions which they have reason to think are controlled by men who gamble in stocks or grain, or whose em ployes are known to lead fast lives. This low standard of business morality is largely due to two things—a desire to get rich quickly, and to fast living. Men who have a good business, and an income suffi cient to enable them to live comfortably, want to be millionaires, and make a show like their wealthy neighbor's. They there fore take risks which frequently turn out badly, and involve them in financial trou bles. The temptation then comes to do a dishonest act, with the hope of recovering what they have lost. One false step leads to another, and discovery and ruin follow. Young men just beginning a business career too often live beyond their means. Finding their salaries too small to meet their increasing expenses expenses that arise from fast living—they resort to dishonest methods to fill their purses. They see older men who hold responsible positions spending money in ways that are neither creditable nor reputable, and they quiet their con sciences with the thought that they are doing about as the world does. Of course they come to grief. Two things must be done. An effort must be made to raise the standard of morality, and the laws against all kinds of dishonesty must be enforced. The thoroughly moral men of every community must cease to countenance everything that is not strictly honest and legitimate in business. They must refuse to have anything to do with a man who is dishonest, even though he has never been charged with crime. The laws must be enforced against all alike. The bank president or bank director who goes wrong ought not to be shown more consid eration than the boy who robs his employ er’s till. Mrs. Paran Stevens’ Threat. If some of the dispatches from Newport are to lie credited that town is just now greatly disturbed by the threat of Mrs. Paran Stevens that she will never spend another season thero because of the rough way in which some of the newspapers have treated her guest, the Duke of Marlborough. A dispatch to the Boston Globe declares that Mrs, Stevens will be a serious loss to Newport, and intimates that the town will never cease to regret her. It is doubtful if the great majority of the principal residents of Newport cure whether Mrs. Btevens spends another season there or not. She is only a rich woman who spends her money freely in entertaining those whom she thinks will increase her promi nence in the social world. When the Duke of Marlborough landed at Newport she in vited him at once to make her villa his home, and he did not hesitate about accept ing the invitation. The newspaper correspondents at New port did not fail to notice the Duke’s ar rival, and that he was a guest at Mrs. Stevens’ palatial homo. They also called attention to the fact that the Duke’s repu tation at home was not first-class, and inti mated that some of the best people at New port would decline to meet him. They do not appear to have wandered far from the truth. They said no more than had already been said about the Duke in the English papers, and it seems that some of the society people at Newport did refuse to invito him to their houses, or to have anything to do with him. The Duke complains that he has not been accorded decent treatment by the press, and Mrs. Stevens, of course, sympathizes with her guest. They both seem to forget, how ever, that the news[>npers do not blacken people’s characters. They simply call at tention to characters which are black, and tell how those to whom they belong black ened them. People who don’t want to figure in the newspapers in a discreditable way should keep their characters so spot less that the public will have no curiosity with regard to them. Sir Henrv Tichborne was merried Thurs day at Coventry, Eug. This young man is the nephew of the Sir Roger Tichliorne who is supposed to have lieen lost at sen, and an attempt to personate whom, by Ar thur Orton, led to one of tlie most famous lawsuits in modern times. Even vet there are many in England who believe in the truth of Arthur Orton’s story. This adven turer, who is now a bartender in a New York saloon, still claims to be Sir Roger Tiohliorno, and expresses an intention to further prosecute his claims in tlie English courts. It is hardly probable he will ven ture to do so, however, as the result to him self of his first suit was a longterm in prison on a conviction for [lorjury. A man named Clinedinst swindled people in Staunton, Vo., out of several thousand dollars, and went to Canada, where he no doubt, thought himself safe. But he ought to have studied the extradition laws more closely before going into that sort of busi ness. He was unwise enough to be guilty of forgery, as well asof other swindling crimes, and forgery is an extraditable offense. Hp has lieen caught. Birmingham, Ala., is excited over the arrest of Maj. W. T. Milner, an official of the Elyton band Company, and two others, on tho charge of attempting tobrilie officers of tho United States Court. The land enm [Miny is engaged in litigation with a negro as to the title of a lot of valuable land, and, it is charged, thought it cheaper to buy the court officers than the property CURRENT COMMENT. The Fate of His Party in Cleveland’s Hands. From the fronton Globe (Dem.) President Cleveland owes it to his party and to himself to find a common ground on which all Democratic voters can stand and work to gether for the settlement of this tariff question. He alone stands in a position to heal the. differ ences that now exist between the party's lead ers on this all important issue. Randall Will be Given a Chance. From the Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem). But will Mr. Randall !e consulted? Certainly he will be, and ought to be. He should be given u full, fair chance to take himself out or the hands of the Rermblieans. and return to the par ty of which he professes to be a member. It he accepts in tfood faith, and lives up to his accep tance which ought to be required in writing or taken under oath in the presence of wituejases— all right. If ne refuses out he goes. Political Hedging. From the New York Slants Zeitung. If the Democratic National Convention were to meet now there is no doubt that Mr. Cleve land would be renominated by acclamation, and even if a year seems a long time in polities, one cannot conceive of a jwirty development that would make a change in any manner. The situation is best characterized by the back down which the opponents of Mr. Cleveland among the Democratic press are beginning to indulge iu. The Sun seeks to cover this under tLe assertion that the President has broken faith with the Mugwumps and has gone over to the. side of tlie spoils politicians. * * * The World is trying to come to an understanding with the President, and to free itself from the reproach that the President recently made— that of supporting the Republican press—in an angry controversy against him.

In a paper read before the. section on anatomy yesterday, Dr. T. C. Schaefer, of Chicago, re lated the history of a ease in which a young woman had her scalp, including one ear and the greater portion of the eyelids, torn off by ma chinery m a Chicago factory. He told how he had cut more than 1.000 pieces of skin and other parts of the woman's body and engrafted them one after another over the head, creating an en tirely new scalp from the back of her neck to the crown of ller head, ears, eyelids and all. He exhibited a series of life-sized photographs showing the head as it was after the accident, a horrible sight, and as it appeared at various stages of the treatment, until in the last of the series, there is a picture of a fine young lady glowing in health and wearing a fine head of hair, although the latter was a wig, as the trans planted skin would not grow hair. The new scalp seemed to be a little tight here and there. For instance, the outer edges of the eyes are pulled up in Chinese fashion; but all the doctors who listened to the story, and saw the pictures, pronounced it an extraordinary and most suc cessful operation. A Prince on a Disgraceful Spree. From the Paris Morning News. Prince Otto, of Saxony, is certainly a most delightful young man. Some eighteen months ago he married his pretty cousin. Princess Josepha, daughter of Prince George and niece of the King. Shortly after the marriage, how ever, the Princess left her husband and has never returned to him. This is how it all hap pened : Prince Otto was having a “stag" party. After breaking furniture and crowning the bunts of his uncle and aunt, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, with cabbage leaves, and commit ting other indignities, for. which he was subse quently placed under arrest for three months, Prince Otto said to his guests: “Would not you like to see my wife?” They consented to what they would have resented when sober, and all started for the Princess Josepha's bedroom. A young officer who was on guard in the palace, learning their intention, followed. Passing them, he placed his back against the door, and, with drawn revolver, swore he would shoot the first one that attempted to enter, anil succeeded in driving them away, although he was liable to lose his own life iu protecting the Princess. The officer has been promoted anti decorated by the King, and the outraged Princess has sent him a ring. An Unconscious Little Traitor. From the Boston Transcript. A well-known Boston business man, who was born in Ireland, delights in telling a story of his boyish years, which points for the millionth time the moral that little pitchers have long ears. When about 8 years of age he dwelt in his father's house on the main street of a flour ishing Irish town. The next door neighbor was one of the Irish constabulary. Between the constable’s son and himself there was a close alliance. The only cloud was that of envy, for the constable’s son not only put on frills, but occasionally put on bis father's sword. This trusty weapon was only obtained in its owner's absence, and under no circumstances were any of the other boys allowed to gird it to their waists. Naturally the constable's son achieved a juvenile hegemony, and the other boys cast about for the means of checking bis vaulting vanity. Great was the delight of the other boy when, one day, burrowing in the hayloft of his father's barn, he canv; upon, not a sword, but something vastly more impressive, a musket, a gleaming musket with a shining bayonet! And not one musket alone, but a dozen! The op portunity for humbling the constable's son was not to be lost. The constable's son was going through his martial exercises in the back yard, surrounded by an admiring group. “Say, Tom, you feel yourself a great man with your sword, don't your” “No, I don’t; my father has two swords, and he's to be promoted and have gold on his uni form." "That’s nothing. Tommy, we've a dozen mus kets in our cow-house, bayonets an' all.’’ “I don’t believe it!” “Come and see.” And the constable’s son, attended by a select circle of young friends, came and saw. And that night the constable himself with a squad, came and did not see, for the muskets had been spirited off to a bog, and the curious little boy came in for the biggest flogging he ever had in all his life. A Lady School Superintendent on Common Ground With a Teacher. Prom the Bell. A numlier of Dakota counties have lady super intendents of schools While one. of them was recently making the rounds of the schools, in accordance with law, she drove up to one little schoolhouse on the prairie at about 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and found the scholars all out playing about the yard. Two of the boys were indulging in a fight, another pair were learning to chew tobacco, while the others were playing marbles for keeps, and adjusting an old, but large and corpulent tea kettle to a dog's tail. The super intendent learned tha|there had been no school so far that day, and when she went into the schoolhouse she said to the young lady teacher somewhat severely: ‘ls this the kina of a school you are teaching? I fear I shall be obliged to cancel your cer tificate and have you removed from the school.” "Why—why—l—l didn’t know you were coming!" • Ah, that's just it; I know you didn’t—but I did come, and I caught you. I shall be obliged to ask you to hand in your resignation imme diately.” “But—but. Miss Rhetoric, let me explain. "I don’t think you can make any satisfactory explanation, as I noticed you were sitting here reading when I came In." ' But that's just it—l was reading the New York style and Fashion, and ” ‘The Stylr and Fashionf What, the Sep tember number?" 'Yes.” "My goodness, I didn't know it had come yet. Let me see it, please: I’m just dying to know how to make my new polonaise! Say, you ought to see that lovely piece of summer goods that I got at Noprofit A: Slaughter’s—it’s just too sweet for anything. Isn't that a love of a wrap per- I’m going to have one like it—or no, I lie lie ve I like this best. I don’t know, either; they’re both perfectly lovely!" My Lady Sleeps. Ah. happy hearted bird! Full-throated minstrel shaking all the air With golden ripples of thy passion’s pleading, I tell thee true, my lady is not heeding; She lies aleep within her window there; Goou sooth, thou art not heard. Thou—living memory of her kindly care— The small, white hand, which once had gifts to share. Will never hold forth morsels for thy feeding In sad, hereafter days. Nor pluck the roses by her lattice creeping; So slow the curtain sways. Not strange it seemeth, now, she should be sleeping, So soft the sweet air strays. So still she lies; And in her room the silences are keeping A watch upon her eyes. And with forgetful balm their light lids steep lug, Lost she should wake and rise. The roses she last gathered now are weeping ’ Upon my lady’s breast— Close to the foam like laces of her gown Their silent lips are pressed, And drops of dew, like fragrant tears, slip down Between the moveless, snowy billows there. Which heave uo more- for rapture nor despair. Nor storm nor sunshine, rain nor falling dew, Nor stirring leaves, nor voice of friend or foe, Nor surge of all the worlds, can enter through The stillness guarding now that slumber fair Whose? heart receives no guest, Nor any ray nor shadow, weal nor woe. Cease, cease thy song, sweet birdl Far hence (iy thou. Where nature keeps Her June day revel In fair fields new drest: Thy mate awaits thee there; There summer decks her happy world anew; There thou ahalt find toy nest Amid the leafage, on some swinging bough; There, haply, thou, lnva-blest, May’st soon target. Farewell: Hhe marks not now; Thou can’st not break the calm which wraps her brow: My lady sleeps At rest —at rest at rest! —Robert Bums tVili in in Time* flemocrat.

I ITEMS OF INTEREST. The Chicago .Yetra says ministers are so scarce in Idaho that they have to be imported in many cases where people wish to get married. Trains are stopped that they may be searched for min isters. Mexico, which reported only about 500 miles | of railroad in 1880. now has about seven times 1 that extent, mostly owned and operated by Americans, and meanwhile the public revenues have more than doubled. The gospel according to St. Mark, in raised Chinese characters, has been published for the use of the blind in China. This is the 250th lan guage in which portions of the liible have been printed for the blind scripture-readers. Col. Mapleson has a soprano, now called Niquito, who, he says, was “born in Virginia, in the southern part of North America.” and was I "stolen by the Indians of Niagara” in her youth. ! Her voice is not so interesting as her history. A watermelon bougfct of Will Eaton, of Ro | chelle, 111., was found to contain, in the very j centre of the core, a silver dollar closely wrap- I ped in a $2 silver certificate. There wasn't a i scratch on the melon to show that it had been tampered with. Thebe is a citizen of San Bernardino, Cal., says the Conner of that place, who years ago decided that kissing was wicked, because Christ was betrayed with a kiss. He has been married twenty years and is the father of eleven chil dren, but has never kissed his wife nor one of his offspring. The gross earnings on sixty-seven railroads during the half year showed an increase of 15 per cent,, while the net earnings of the same roads for the same period showed an increase of 24 per cent. The gain was well distributed, too, for only eight roads showed decreases in their net returns for the same period. It is stated in various papers, as a curious effect of the electric light, that in several of the public buildings in Washington its use has led to an enormous increase in the number of spiders’ webs. The lights attract multitudes of insects, and the insects in turn attract the spiders. It is complained that iu many cases architectural outlines have become badly obscured. Golden trout are only found in the brooks of Mount Whitney, up near the banks of perpetual snowy They have a golden stripe down each side, and are the most beautiful fish that swim. It is said that those who saw the first specimens of these trout that were brought down from the head of Whitney creek thought they were made up for the show, and that stripes of gold leaf had been glued to their sides. Covered buttons were introduced by M. Sander. He lost his fortune in Denmark when Lord Nelson bombarded Copenhagen, and came over to England to try and earn a little money, not dreaming that he would more than recoup himself for what he had lost, He introduced first* covered button consisting of cloth or lasting, with an iron shank. His son improved this into what is called the flexible shank but ton, which, when made of silk, however, soon wore out. Who are the people that leave money on de posit and fail to call for it? A little information on this point comes from Connecticut, which has eighty-four savings banks, at present, not over twenty of the number coming under the law requiring reports concerning unknown de positors. The amount of deposits which have remained without claimants for twenty years is known to be over $75,000. Of this $21.000 is hold by the Society for Savings in Hartford, $17,000 by the New London Savings Bank, $12,500 by the Norwich Savings Bank, $7,000 bv the Bridge port Savings Bank. SI,OOO by the'Middletown, and not far from $4,000 by the Norwalk Savings Bank. William T. Stansbury, a compositor em ployed on the Baltimore Sun , Friday last com pleted his fiftieth year in the service of that pappr. He never wore eyeglasses, a remarkable fact in view of the ordeal to which his sight has been subjected in one-half century of setting type, an occupation trying to the vision. So f ood, indeed, are, his eyes that according to the oreman of the paper he sets the matter of the money column of the Sun every night in agate, the smallest type used in the composing-room, and that, too, without the slightest trouble. Mr. Stansbury was warmly congratulated by his brother artisans on his long and'honored service. Augustus Van Cortlandt and his family still occupy the old Van Cortlandt manor house that has stood for more than a century and a half in the centre of the beautiful tract of 1,700 acres beyond the Harlem river that under the old family name is to become New York's greatest park. They expect to receive some thing like a million dollars compensation from the city for their property thus appropriated, although the appraisements have not yet been finished. The manor house, whioh still is in an excellent state of preservation, might well lie carefully cared for by the city as one of the few remaining interesting relics of colonial times and customs within the city limits. A number of French Protestants assembled the other day on a table land called Plan de Font Morte, the scene of three skirmishes with Louis XlV.’s troops in 1702-1704, to witness the unveil ing of a stone commemorating the martyrs of that time, and the centenary of the edict recog nizing Protestant marriages—the first step to ward religious liberty. Thirty pastors were present, and an outdoor service was held, the sermon being preached by M. Viguie. On the monolith is inscribed: “A loccasion du cen tenaire de I’Edit de Tolerance les fils des Hugue nots ont, sur le theatre des ancle ns combats, eleve ce monument ala paix religieuse et afa memoire des martyrs.” There is a firm in Philadelphia which plants pictures by the yard. The work is simple. A piece of canvass nearly 100 feet long is stretched in a gallery shaped like a corridor. On each picture, which, by the way, costs $4 50, five men are employed. Each man has his particu lar line. One puts in the foreground, another the background, and still another does the clouds and cows that you see browsing in the pasture. A fourth man doe.s the trees and shrubbery. In this wav they are enabled to work fast. In exactly three hours five of those landscapes were finished, which is 30 minutes’ time given to each. The fifth man does the finishing touches, and perhaps jierforms more and better work than any of the others. The Pacific Ocean boundary of the United States has a greater extent of coast line than the Atlantic shore. The aggregate of our shore line on the Pacific is 12,734 miles, whilst on the Atlantic it is 11,S00 miles, and on the Gulf of Mexico 0.343. California)- ontains 1.136 miles of the coast line on the Paeiffc, whilst she has also 272 miles of island shore and 240 miles of tale water river shore, making altogether 1,043 miles of shore line. Texas has an actual coast line on the Gulf of 1,209 miles, whilst Florida has 1 144 on the Gulf and 363 miles on the Atlantic,’ so that both exceed California in this fiarticular. It was the annexation of Alaska that promoted the Pacific coast to a higher figure than the \t lantic, Alaska having 9,880 miles of coast line These figures are taken from the coast survey reports. Joseph W, Ravage, of Rahway, N. J., recently married Susan C. Pike, of Plainfield. The groom’s father, ex Mayor Savage, was married three times; the bride's twice. The latter's first wife was the daughter of the present groom's father’s daughter by bis first wife. The son just married was born of the second marriage and became the husband of the daughter of Mr Pike by his first marriage. Thus ‘x-Mayor Sav age was Mr. Pike's brother-in-lav : ex-Mayor Savage's daughter, by marrying Mr. Pike, be came sister-in-law to her own father: young Joseph Savage, being the son of Mr. Pike’s are ter, Is his nephew: being the half-brother of Mr. Pike's first wife, he is also his brother-in law, and hv his marriage last geek to Mr Pike's daughter became son-in-law: thus Mr Pike is uncle and brother-in-law to bis soii-in law and Ihe recent bride. Mrs. Joseph \V. Savage ig cousin and niece to her husband, and conse quently her own aunt. The Kino op Italy certainly possesses a way of endearing himself to his people. He is what you would call thoughtfully kind, and seems to have the knack of doing the right thing at the right time. Some say it is his wife, yueen Margaret, who puts him up to meat of his popu lar actions. Well, if so, she should certainly share the credit, and tin- good deeds can lie put down to the firm of “Umberto, Margaretta A Cos.” One of tbe firm's Intern good deed* which is already Immensely popular In Ituly’ is the granting of an unsolicited pension of £10(1 a year to Madame liepretls. the widow of tin- late I Vernier of Italy, who Is not the first statesman of regenerated Italy who lias died a poor man Though the circumstances of bin marriage to the holy who is now Ids widow, and who was a w idow w hen Wgnor Depretis married tier are forgotten, they were thought quite romantic a' the lime.
