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. CURRENT COMMENT. Intended for the President. From the eu York Herald (Ind.)

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.

A colored congregation out In Indianapolis having split, one faction nailed up the church doors, and the other, not to be bested, held services on th- steps, a policeman being present to preserve order.

A crab that climbs cocoanut trees is the birgo bit is, or robber crab, of ihe Fanning island. It cracxs the nuts w ith its claws aud waxes fat on the milky elixir found therein. A fine specimen has lately been added to tne shell fish collection in the state museum of California. Three sisters (all under 15 years of age), in Missouri, weigh together 8,*3 pounds. Lydia. 13 years old, is t .e heaviest, tipping the beam at 3.3 pound.-. Two of the trio have six fingers on each hand and the same number of toes on each foot. Taeir parents are of ordinary size. A rare bird was shot at Dundee, Ind., by Austin Dolla, a farmer. The bird is snow white and stands seven feet high. The remarkable fact t.iat it weighs less that four pounds has ex cited n > little interest. For want of tne proper name the people have appropriately duobed it the "phantom heron.” Opt at Minneapolis, Minn., Ernest Hoppe flew into a passion because his 12-peir-old son had i'r t a lot of thirty sheep out of a pen that they might go Uriuk. Hoppe chained the boy up by the neck. Humane neighbors int r *® re d- to ik the lad to a smithy aud struck off the chains At la-t accounts Hoppe nimself was standing chained to a post. 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 prizes for substitutes chat should he tnorou hiy Teutonic. Two of the words offered are said to have been glimstenge (burning stalk) aud g Jtnudeln (poison tubes). One of the places where Brooklyn people like to go on Sunday afternoons is the sidewalk in FranUin avenue before th-beautiful gardens of Editor Stone, of4the Journal of Com nerce. On the afternoons of pleasant Sundays the head gardener brings out the treasures of the hot house and places them near the sidewalk rail ing. Oftentimes Mr. Stone stands near by and talks about his favorite flowers. 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.
