SAVANNAH OF TO-DAY.
Thr Morning New. Annual Trade Review—
A Pew Pointer, in Relation Thereto.
The Morning News’ Annual Trade Re
view, containing a complete and compre
hensive statement o£ the business of Savan
nah, will be issued early in September.
The year ending Sept. 1, 1889, will boa
momorablo one i the hi-tory of Savannah,
and the Morning News proposes to give
the widest publicity to what Savannah has
done, is doing, ami proposes to do in the
pear future. There is no better way in
which tho outside world can bo informed of
what is going on in a community than
through the columns of its newspapers.
The Morning News ii its forthcoming
Trade Review will show by facts and
figures that? Savannah is one of the most
progressive and Ueaitby cities in the union,
and that her citizm;, judging from what
they have done during the last year, an
fully alive to the great ess of her future.
They have proven by the various local im
provements they have made, and by the
active interest they have manifested in
railroads projected for her benefit, that
they ore not afraid to invest their money
within her limits. They have demonstrated
beyond all doubt ttiat they have confidence
iu her great natural advantages, and that
they believe that her deep water harbor
and her great railroad systems will, in a
few years, make her the greatest seaport
city in the south.
The Morning News will, in its Trade
Review, present to the word “Savannah oi
to-day,” in a resume of what has hereto
fore appeared iu its columns. The review
will be in such shape that, at a
glance, it will be seen what has
been accomplished during the year.
The Trade Review will contain articles
•bowing the bu iness of the city during the
year and present indisputable facts which
promise a steadily increasing prosperity.
It will establish tho fact that there is no
healthier city in the south and none more
pleasant in which to live and do business
either in summer or winter. It will
prove by figures that Savannah is
without a rival on the South Atlantic
coast, and that by their acts her citizens
show that they are satisfied that she is
only at the beginning of her commercial
greatness.
The Trade Review will be printed in the
nsual form, and will be a newspaper which
those who feel a pride in their city will
take pleasure iu sending to their friends.
It will afford business me i an opportun
ity of saying something about their busiuess
and themselves. It is hoped that in size, as
well sis in other respects, it will sur ass
every previous edition. That, however,
depends entirely upon the orders it re
ceives from advertisers.
It is desired to distribute 50,000 copies,
and that number will be distributed, if the
response of the business men is as prompt
and liberal as we have reason to believe it
will be.
Orders for advertising or for copies of
the paper can be ha Mod in at the business
office, or, if desired, they will be called for
by the canvasser;.
Col. John Walker died suddenly in Quebec
the other day. A few years ag > Col. Walker
was one of a party to go on a stag hunt in
Scotland. Hi friend, Sir John Rove, ell
dead vhile i.i the act of firing at a stag,
and Col. Walker remarked afterward that
when bis time to die came, ho hop and he
would bo catching a twenty-eight-pound
salmon. His wish came very near being
gratified. A few minutes b -fore he died he
had caught a tweuty-f iur-pouud salmon.
Mr. C. C. Bisbee, a Jacksonville mer
chant, was ii Pniladeip ia the, other day,
and said tuat the ou J ok for a big rush of
northern tourists to Florida next winter
was excellent. No and mbt Mr. Bisbee is
right. Florida is the most n tractive of
winter resorts, and many northern pe p e
who remained awa. from ihat state last
winter will go there tho coming winter.
Ramie and Jute.
Every once in a while one or more south
ern jour als are seizrj wi:h the ilea that
it w uld be an excellent thing f .r southern
far .ners to cultivate ra uie an 1 jute. They
point out the vast p • fits th-re *r in these
plants, and comment bn ihe adv image, in
so 1 and climate the south possesses for pro
ducing them. •
A few days ago a Pi tsburg firm inquired
about a ramie patch near Thotnasvill -. and
finding that it c >ntai ed so ne ra uie. asked
to have the ramie forwarded to Pittsburg.
At -nee there iiegan to appear in the u-ws
i apers articles advocating the cultivation
of ramie.
There is no doubt that both ramie and
jute c mid lie cultivated in the south with
grea' profit, provided there were any way in
which they cm and be prepn ed for the market
cheaply. A half d-z-nor more machine;
have been invented for t .is purpose, but
none of them have proven sue ‘ ssful. In
order to compete with the cheap 1 bor of
India, where the jute fiber is prepared for
market by hand, a machine that will do th •
work of many men is necessary. There are
machines that prepare tio fiber, but they
do not do it rhe ply enough. Un ii he
necessary machine is provided it is idle to
talk about cuUivati g jute or ramie in the
south.
Not Much of a Harm inizer.
The boston Herald says that tho charges
which Mr. Jefferson Davis has recently
brought against his publishers, tho Apple
tons, for not pushing his book on tho south
ern confederacy, have stirred up a feeling
which ought to have been allowed to pass
quietly away. The Herald, of course,
means that ill-feeling between the people of
the north and the south has been stirred up.
It might be creditable to that newspaper to
deprecate the alleged renewal of such feel
ing if it did not proceed at. once to say
tilings which no doubt will cause much
more ill f. e ing than Mr. Davis’ charges.
The Herald delates that Mr. Davis’ book
abounds in false statements, and that it is
not worth reading. Tt does not blame tho
Appletons for not pushing its sale, for it
says th southern people are too poor to
buy it. and t e northern people don’t want
it. It thi iks that Mr. Divis was a failure
l>ef re bo became president of tho South
ern confederacy, and that sines th i war he
has non: isbed his old batied and has be
come a churlish and disappointed man.
To what extent does the Herald think this
sort of talk will help ill-feeling b-tween the
people of the two sections to “pass quietly
away?” Why is it that every time Mr.
Davis says or writes anything a number of
northern newspapers denounce him in bit ter
and unjust terms? Is it because they want
ill-feeli.ig between the people to “pass
quietly away,” or is it because they have so
much ill-feeling toward Mr. Davis and the
south that they cannot let pass an oppor
tunity to say mean things about them?
Asa harmonize:- the Herald is a failuro.
It might do very well as a bl ody-shirt
organ.
favannah’s Now Buildings.
When the new buildings ii the burned
district are completed, Savannah will be
a prettier city than it was before the big
fire, ts nne handsome ones are already
nearing completion, and it is safe t > say
that nono of tho lots upon which houses
wore bur ed will bo allowed to remain
vacant very long. Tho buildings which
will bo erected will possess, in mist in
stances, the advantage of being more
modern than the burned ones were,
and some of them, such ak the
Guards’ armory and the O ld Fellows’ hall,
will be both larg-r and handsomer. While
the fire, immediately after it,occurred, ap
peared to be a terrible calamity, it will
hardly prove to have been so. If the people
of any city have pluck and capital 'they
can soo i iec :ve from the effects of a dis
astrous fire, and can make their city more
beautiful than it was.
It is i uticeahle that a good many old
buildings in this city have been torn down
recently. Upon their sites new and modern
buildings are to be erected, and they will
help to give to Savannah a fresher and
brighter appearance. While tho city lias
beea made to suffer in looks lately, the
change that will take place within llio next
six or twelve months will seem almost mar
velous. Savannah w ill maintain tier repu
tation as the prettiest city in the state, if
not in the south.
Why They Did Not Vote.
Even in a presidential year th? peremt
age of qualifi and voters in the Ne v E gland
states who do not vote is consid Table.
Last year, for instance, ns is shown bv tho
Massachusetts bureau of labor statistics,
23 per cent, of the voti g population of
Massachusetts remained away from the
polls. The voting pop tlati >a of that state
is 442,616, and the total vote cast for t’rc;i
dont was 344,448. In Connecticut 77 per
cent., in Maine 61 per cent., in Now Hamp
shire 72 per cent., iu Rhode Island 45 per
cent., and in Vermont 63 ner ce.it.
of the voters cast their ballots for
President in 188S. The general average pur
cent, of voters who voted for President la;t
year in th- New England states was 03.
The figures for all of those states except
Massachusetts are estimated.
In commenting upon these figures a re
publics ne vs aner says that the voters in
the New England states who remained
away in mt ie polls last year did so because
they were confident the states named
would go republican. No doubt this was
the reaso i why a great many of them re
maired away. Why, toen, should not the
republican newspapers say that the voters
who kept away from the polls in tho
southern ntates in 1888 did so becauso
they were confident their respective
states would go democratic? Thousands of
southern democrats did not vote last year
because they did not think their v te. 1 ? were
needed, and thousands of colored republi
cans did not vote because th v ha 1 1 's: in
terest in political matters, but the republi
can newspapers will uot admit that tine
fa.lure of the southern states to cast, a full
vote was due to indifference. It suits their
purposes l etter to sav that it was due to
intimidation of republican voters. The
repu lica newspapers never wore very
c reful of facts when they wanted to mike
political capital.
An advertisement ia a New York news
paper the o her day contained the i forma
tion that “if tho gentleman w.io stole a
value” from a certain place in that city
would return it be w mid be rewarda I. * It
' was uot known that s '-called gentlemen in
New York stole sucti insignificant things as
vaiises, unless tne vahs.-s we e tilled with
bank notes.
Postmaster General Wanamaker said tho
other day: “We all love Warner Mille
The Pre ident loves him. We know he
saved New York.” Bat the New York
patronage is dealt out by Th nnas C. Plait.
How is that, Mr. Wanamaker?
"THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. AUGUST 19, 1889.
Wanamaker Wants a Monument.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has bee&
talkin; with the reporte s about his
department. He purjioses to greatly im
prove it. He has several schemes w lich
will be put i to operation, be thinks, during
h s term of office. O eof them i; to re
duce postage on half-Mince let ers to 1 ce:.t,
leaving the rate 2 cents on ounce letters.
Another is to have biggr pos al -ards, ani
still another is to have postal boxes on -cean
s earners s > that, letters can !*> mailed up to
the very momeut that the steamers sail.
There are other schemes that the Post
master Geu-ral hits in view, all of which,
he b -lieves, will tend to impr ive the postal
service. He says that he has all the money
he wants, and that now he i> working for
fame. He is anxi u; to have the approba
tion of his fellow citiz? is.
There is no doubt that the Postmaster
General has some good points, and if he
could run the postoffice on business princi
ples, just as he runs bis big store in Phila
delphia, it is probable that he w mid make
a reputation that hi; fellow citizens would
reme ober. Lwfortunately for him, ho a
- he is compelled to regard the wishes of
such politicians as Mr. Quay,and, as a conse
quence, a gool many tUirigs are done for
the be :efit of the R 'publican party which
do not tend to prom ;te the bust interests of
the postal service.
A good many trained men, for instance,
are being turnel out of their positions in
the postal service to make room for republi
cans. It will tako a long nine for these
new officials to become acquainted with
their duties, and in the meantime tho people
will bavo lo suffer on account of their
inexperience. If Mr. Wanatnaker is work
ing for a public m mume.it, let him place
t.. 0 interests of the poople above tne wishes
of the politicions.
Becoming Somewhat Rational.
There is a prospect that the south will
oven ually obtain justice at the hands of
tho uorthern republican press. A few years
ago, i he republican newspapers of that sec
tion seemed to be of the opinion that the
people of the south were bl >od-thirsty and
lawless. At least, one would judge that
they were of tiiat opinion by reading tho n.
They sai 1 that life was not safe in auy part
of the south, and made other reckless asser
tions derogatory to the southern pe >plo.
Some of these northern newspa ers are
beenmi g more conservative. The Philadel
phia Inquirer, tor instance, admits that a
person may go to some purts of the south
without being shot down in cold blood. It
says; “The southern papers continue to re
port almost dully the arrival of uorthern
capitalists and capital in certaiu portions of
the s utb. In several other portions of
that fertile land, however, northern capi
talists do not go. This seems strange to
dwellers there, as their land is equally rich
ad the natural advantages offered to
manufacturer- are as great as iu tho locali
ties where capital is going iti bulk. But it
is easily explained. Mo i y a id immigration
are going to the sta es where the greatest
effort are being made to protect life and
property. The other states vt tll get their
share as soon as they deserve it.”
Iho Inquirer deserves to be encouraged.
If it keeps on, it will get to the point after
awhile where it can tell tho whole truth
about tho south. It will admit that a man’s
life is as safe in auy part of tho south as it
is iti tho north. Perhaps it will do this
after the next census is tako -. At present,
a good many republican organs seorn to be
afraid that the south is getting more than
tier share of immig ants, and that these im
migrants, being counted ii the census, will
increase tho south’s representation in con
gress and in the electoral college.
Tho President’s Quarters.
Some time ago there was considerable
discussion of the question whether or not a
new execu ivo mansion sh mid be built.
It was alleged that the white house was
unhealthy, and, as a matter of fact, there
wa; a good deal of sickness of a mild type
iu the Harrison family, but it is not at all
certain that the condition of the white
hou e had anything to do with it. Lately
too discussion has been renewed, but t ie
revon given why anew executive m tu.iou
should be built is a different one. It is
alleged that the present building is not
lai •go enough.
Mrs. Harrison has advanced au idea in
this connection that is meeting with the
approval of a number of public men. It is
that two wings be at lei to the present
building, one to be used as a residence for
thepresid ntial family, and the other a; a
hall for historic p lintings and statuary.
Se iator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is one
( f the gentlemen who approve this sugges
tion. He has long thought that someth! ig
of the kind ought io be done, and he prij
posos to make au effort to get congress to
con ider the matter favorably.
There has heretofore been n i special com
plaint that tho wnite house was uot lar -a
enough. So far as is known the former
presidential families found t ;emselves very
comfortably fixed in it. P. esid mt Harrison
has had a good ma ly of his relatives with
him at the white house, however, and on
that account he may have felt the need for
more room. There ought to be enough
room in the mansion for the President to
entertain his relatives and friends.
Tho strongest argument iu favor of build
ing anew mansion, or of adding a wing to
the present one, is, probably, that it is dis
agreeable for the I’.osidont to live in tho
same h use in which he transac s public
business. Under the circumstances, a.i air
of business pervades the entire building.
It is not probable, however, t iat auy
change will be m ide soon. The subject has
cone up f r discussion at intervals forq iite
a number of years, but the necessity for a
change has not seemed to be very urgent.
At the North Carolina state fair, which
will e held in Raleigh, Oct. 14-19, it is
proposed to hold a reunion of native North
Carolinians wh > are no w residents of oth r
statos. This is au attractive idea, and no
doubt it will be carried out successfully. It
is said that there are 24,156 native Nor h
Carolinians in Georgia, and among them
are some of our best citiz ins.
Now that there is rivalry between New
York and Chicago for the exposition of
1892, perhaps the northern ] eopie will find
out hat all of the crime is n t committed
i in ih- -ou;h. Tue other day the New York
; Tribune printed “one week’s record of
| crime and butchery iu Chicago, a city that
wants tho exposition,” and tho record was
not c; editable to Chicago.
A good many of tho northern newspapers
said that Slugger Sullivan would nev>r oe
arrested for vi dating Mississippi laws.
Sullivan was arrested. They said a true
bid would not be found again; him, but
they were mistaken. They said he w -uli
not be found guilty, but he was. S mthern
ad northern motuods of dealing with prize
tiaiiteis are differe.it.

He Had Traveled.
From the Detroit Free Frees.
A young man with a great deal of hat and a
small amount of grip-ack came into the Third
ftr- et depot oa a tram the otaer day, and walk
ing throu hto the hack stand he said to the
driver of a vehic e:
"I want to go to the Wayne hotel."
"Yes, sir "
‘"The ordinance gives you 50 cents.”
"It does."
"Here's your money. I've traveled a bit I
have, and I know what's what. Dou’t try any
gum games on me."
“No, s r—g-t right in.”
Tne stranger entered the hack, the driver
drove across the street and got down and
opened the door, and as the stranger saw how
he had foule . himself he looked as flat as chalk
an i muttered:
"Yes—l see—just across the street. I've
traveled, I have, hut 1 guess I was on the wreng
train.”
How to Treat Koyalty.
From the Chicago Sews.
Russell Harrison of Montana and New York,
Robert Lincoln of Chicago, an l several more
Americans of n te have late y taken tea with
Victor a. Queen of England, Empress of India
and defender of faith. As other citizen- of this
country may have occasion tosit in her majesty's
front parlor before navigation closes in the
Strai s of Mackinaw, a few simple rules for
their guidance will nut be out of place:
The queen is not fond of base ball. If you
have occasion to m-ntion that s. ort io her
pr sence do not go into details. She is not
p 'Sted on butt ng averages.
Do not ask her questions. Queens as well as
other ladies desire to do all the questioning
themselves. Declarations may be indulged in,
ho ever.
Do not give candy to the little princes if they
should he Drought in for you to admire. You
must he too busy admiring them to think of
feeding them.
Do not talk politics, for it's not the queen's
fault that she is a queen. She couldn't
help it.
Do not ask the queen to return your visit.
She will decline.
That Provoking nood.
Pearl Eyti ge, in Judge.
The breeze bloweth softly, the waves idly roar.
And the -ea and the wet sand are shining;
My sweetheart is digging for shells on the
shore.
While I at her feet am reclining.
But never a ganee can I get of ner face.
Or a p >ep at one dear little dimple;
On her head is a tangl ■ of ribbon and lace—
My grandmother called it a wimple.
Like a cowl it is shaped,and it grows on a cloak,
And it c >vers her eyes up completely;
There's an impudent tassel all really to poke
Its head underneath it quite neatly.
Is she frowning or smiling? Tuat provoking
hood <
Hides a mystery none can unravel.
I've asked her a question. Ido wish she would
Stop tapping her foot on the gravel.
Not even the tip can I see of her nose;
Sue's angry, perhaps, or she's crying.
'Tis surely no harm for a man to propose.
Hurrahl From the bonny curls, flying
On the wings of the wind, doe3 the truant
hood go
In a vanishing whirl that seems spiteful.
Suffice it to add that she doesn’t say "No,”
And the way she says “Yes” is deughtful.
The Demijohn Disappeared.
As an afternoon train on the Erie railroad
was about to start from Jersey City yesterday,
says the New York Hun, a stout, red-faced,
jolly looking man took his seat, smiling
pleasantly upon the few passengers who were
in the car. and sat a gallon demijohn down
beside him. Two thin, elderly ladies with severe
faces sat directly behind him, au.l the seats ad
jacent, on both sides of the aisle, were unoc
cupied. If anyone ha 1 entertained a doubt as
to the positi .a of the ladies on the temperance
question the uncertainty would have vanished
as one of them leaned forward and, tapping the
stout man on the shoulder while she pointed at
the demijohn, said:
“My friend, do you know what is in that?”
"Certainly, ma'am,” replied the stout man
pleasantly. "California brandy. Just bought
it to put me over Sunday.”
"Taere is ruin to body and soul in that ac
cursed bottle,” said the lady sternly.
"i wish you women would iniud your own af
fairs.” petuleutlv replied the stout man. "Con
fine yourselves to t a-making. That is your
province.”
Nothing more was sad, for the train at that
moment entered the Bergen tunnel. The stout
man closed his window to shut out the smok ■
laden air, but the ladies left theirs opeD. There
were dim lights in the car, but i was very
gloomy. The stout nan pressed his nose against
the glass, apparently trying to see the wall of
the tu inel through the dense darkness outsid *.
When the train flashed again into the ligut of
day the demijohn was gone!
The ladies, clearly, were not hiding it, for it
was not an article to be easily concealed, an 1
as far asits frantic owner coni 1 judge, n .body
else had taken it. He was still hunting despair
ingly for it when the train stopped at his sta
tion, and he was obliged to get out. Then th:
ladies smil da each other as though they knew
something about its disappearance.
They Understood German Well.
From the Detroit Free Press.
While resting from a 1 mg railroad journey in
the city of Heidelbe g, Germany, during a
recent pleasure tour through the Vaterla id.
Moses Rohnert of the probate court walked into
a cafe on a prominent strasse in that city in
company with August Marxhausen, and the
two seated themselves at oa of tne numerous
elegant tables with which the interior
abounded.
" Waiter,” called out Mr. Rohnert in English,
"please oring us two cups of black coffee and
cigars.”
The cafe was a resort for students of the
Heidelberg uuiversity, and. as it happened,
there were several parties of gay young men
who were conducting tuemselves much as
sludems are apt to do over their mugs of beer,
.dr. Rohnert's order, given in English, wa
something unusual there, and the strangers at
once became the o jeeisof the students' eyes
and remarks. The waiter responded, hut it was
with considerable difficulty that he could be
made to understand what was wanted al
though both Mr. Rohnert and Mr. Marxhausen
spoke German fluently they did not luaice this
fact known from curiosity to Darn how an
American with no knoweldge of German would
have fared. After questions and cross-ques
tions, gestures, and motions, the w aiter com
prehended and the coifee and cigars were pro
duced.
The students had bee one convinced that
they had a brace of Americans with them who
had neither comprehension nor understanding
of the German language Tnisledoneto call
out in a loud tone of voice to another speaking
in i lerinnn:
"There are two fool Americans over there!”
"Yes.” r plied t .e s.udent addressed, "I
should think such specimens of a country
would be forbid len to travel in strange lan s.”
“Well, t ey pro >ably have got more money
than the > know what to do with, and came
over here to be beaten out of it," put iu a
third.
”1 will wager that the waiter will charge
them four prices for their coffee,” said atio'her.
“Yes, and to think they would drink
coffee! But then an American would drink any
thing.”
Tins sort of badinage was passed around at
t ie Americans’ expense until t e students were
in a high slate of merriment. Finally one with
more assuiance than his fellows a non need
that he was going to have rome fun with the
stra gars. Walking up to Mr. Rohnert he said
in German:
"if you do not give me a match to light my
cigar with I will pitch you into the middle of
tn street.”
This he supposed would be Greek to
Mr. Rohnert, and the latter pretended tuat it
was.
"I do not understand that kiud of talk,” re
plied he.
"Oh. no, of course you do not understand,"
replied the stude t. while his party was enoking
witu iau gh.er at the joke. "I do not believe
you understand when you are hungry. Who
a e y u, anyway, aud where do you come
from ?"
Mr Rohnert concluded that it was time to
retaliate, so turning to bis impolite .nrerro
ga or he replied in the very best of German:
"Sir, I am an American, thoug i my father was
a German, and born not far from this city, I
came to Germany on api asure trip, and until
this evening 1 have thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I have just learned from you tuat there are
native-born Germans who are not gentlemen.
1 will add, also, that if it were not for the fact
that ion would hot o greatly humiliated bpfore
your friends, I would chastise you for your im
pudence. ”
As Mr. Rohnert spoke he unfolded his long,
sinew-)- form and confronted his would-be tor
mentor. The s.niles on the faces of the students
faded as they heard Mr. Rohnert speaking t imr
language with the fluency of a native. Th re
was on embarrassing pause, and then apoiogie ,
h.-gaii to be made to the Americans. Each
student who had taken a baud in the matter
ea ue forward, and Messrs Rohnert and .Marx
hausen left twenty five friends in Heidelberg
the next day.

Patriotic Germans are hard at work weed
ing out words of French extraction from their
vocabulary. Among them is a tobacconist of
Dusseldorf, who, wishing to banish the word
cig irre lrom the German dictionary, offered

The annexed paragraph is from the New
Lo idon (Conn.) Telegraph: “It is claimed that
the piece of woo l over tile entrance between
the Ab ril hall building and H stace & Ander
son s, on Bank street, has grown two inches
since it was nailed iu its place. It is rather
nard to believe such a thiug possible, tut the
appearance of tue wood indicates that it must
iiave grown or that the buildings ou both sides
exert a strong pressure on it. Two years ago
the wood did not touch the wall by over an
inch.”
Descriptions of the new postal cards, which
are soon to be issued by the department, show
that the cards t lemselves will be beauti •&.
There will be three sizes when the contracts
have been filled. The first of these will be
much larger than the one now in use and w-ill
lie the one used mainly by business men. Its
size will be sufficient to admit of the printing of
a basin ss card at the top an I still allow pi -nfy
of rcom for the message below. The second
will be of about the same size as the present
card, and w-ill be for brief notices and the liue.
For the ladies, who are beginning to look much
more favorably upon these mediums of com
munication, there will be a still smaller one,
finer in quality and more aesthetic in apDear
auee. The old buff color gives way in the three
sizes to a whiter shade, which everybody will
welcome.
M. Vamberv writes to the St. James Gazette
as follows: Dervish is a Persian word, and its
derivation, or rather composition, is still the
object of controversy. Some say that it is de
rived from der-vis— namely, one who lies at the
door; while others believe that it is a corruption
(r un dr r-pish or der-bisli— namely, one who is
in advance, a head, a chieftain; aud, con ider
ing that the dervish is looked upon as a spiritual
chief in the eyes of the lower classes of the
Moslem world, I consider this latter derivation
more probable, and I cons-quemlv adhere to it.
Dervishes, or members of a sacred brotherhood,
have always enjoyed great consideration iu the
eyes of the lower classes in the east, and,
although not acknowledged by orthodoxy, they
have been at ad times the leaders of the masses
by whom they are blindly followed aud ven
erated. As is generally known, all monkish
and religious orders are contrary to the spirit
of the Koran, and are even expressly pro
hibited by Islam. But, ia spite of all th s, they
sprang up very early in Persia and, having
spread from the last-named country to the rest
of the Mohammedan world, the Persian word
has ueen generally adopted aud is now current.
In the City of Mexico the income from the
taxation of liquors and the license on saloons
is very large indeed. Every liquor and pulque
shop pays a monttily license. Pulque is the
common or c eap beverage of the hot country
corresponding to the malt beer of the United
States. It is "purely vegetable,” being ex
traete 1 from the maguey pla ,t, a species of the
cactus (century pla it). Iu addition t the
license fee - on saloons, an octroi, or entry tax,
is collected on ad pulque coining within the’
city limits. For the fiscal year just e ided this
gate tax amounted to tue sum of $500,000, or
more than §1,590 a day. This is from th • pul
que alone—he beer of Mexico—which is retailed
at 1 cent for an ordinary glass or three cents
for a large schooner. Add to this the taxon
alcoholic bevera es. and also the license fees
paid by each saloon, of which there are thou
sands, and s.ime idea may be formed of what
the city real.z ® annually from the liquor traffic.
The City of Mexico ha;- a population that possi
bly do-snot exceed 250,000, yet the amount
paid into tue city treasury by liquor dealers
alone cannot fad short of $300,000 a year. The
pulque shops o.ien at 6 o’clock in the morning
and clo e at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and net
one of them has a back door
Biiady, once the most famous photographer
in the world, has just been in New York on a
short visit. His home is now iri Washington.
He has become au exceedingly handsome old
man, as he was beforean exceedingly handsome
young one. His is the aristocratic, delicately
outlined aquilin -nosed style of beauty, nut he
used to have a muscle that uis Irish name sug
gested more tian his face, and there is a v.-ry
fair remnant of it left. His curling hair is quite
white now and so is his long drooping mus
tache. Brady in his prime began a collection
of local, national and universal celeuriUes,
which shortly after the breaking out of our civil
war he removed to Washington, whence he sent
with every great army corps his rep esenta
tives to preserve in i torial lortn records of the
great battles and po. traits of the mea who
figured in tiiem. He made a vast and invalu
able collection, aid. if you notice, a lar_e num
ber of the pictures accompanying magazine
articles about that time are still drawn from
this source. Brady is a brilliant talker, aud is
full of vastly entertaining reminiscences, for he
used to be brought in contact witu everybody
worth knowing in the country, and his personal
qualities are so attractive tnat his famous
sitters cultivated his acquaintance far more
than is usual in such cases. Now, when he
comes to New York, there are only a very few
old cronies that he hobnobs with.
A rather tall, somewhat stoop-shouldered
man, with a light mustache and exceptionally
bright eyes, got out of a cab ia a Broadway
jam, about two weeks ago, and made his way
into the Equitable building, where he met a
rather heavy, stalwart-looking man with a jet
nluek mustache anl imperial, says the New
York.' star Tney were brothers, but nobody
that did not Know them would recognize the
fact. They bear an historical name. One was
Johu C. Calnoun, grandson of the famous
statesman, and the other Patrick Calhoun, or,
as ho is familiarly known, “Pat" Calhoun!
“Pat" Calhoun merged into prominence afresh
the other day by liis bloodless duel witu Mr.
Williamson. Tue recurrence of .Hr. Calhoun
as a notable reminds mo of a scheme which he
enthusiastically took up five or s.x years ago.
It was at the time when dairy farms
and dairy kitcuens were first be
ginning to snow themselves, and
■ ’Pat” Calhoun's one ambition was to own and
rin a model dairy farm. He did not spend so
much time in New York then as he dors now,
and intended t> locate the farm just outside of
Atia .ta, Ga. I suppose he had bought the land;
ai all events, ne was goi.jg into the material ar
rangements very rapidly, and had goiten more I
than one young man to g > down from New Y'ork !
and help run his farm. 1 know at leist that he ;
offered one or two young New Yorxers very fair 1
pay to go down there ad drive a milk cart
around Atlanta, but I do not know whether the
dairy farm ever paid. Since tuat timi.tlr. Calh urn
has practically located in New Y'ork anil attends
more thoroughly to legal affairs than to intfch
cows.
