It seems l.kelv that by the time of the state election in Vi ginia, republicans will have been appoin ed to nearly every post offioe in that state. And yet ilahone will be defeated. The time approaches when the “deadly car stove” will begi i to get in its work. People have been ta king about aboli -hing car stoves for quite a while, but enough of them are used to add ..orror to several more railroad accidents. It seems to be a fact that under the Georgia cigarette law iniu >rs are pro hibited from buying tobacco In a.iy form. Young farmers, vh • tuink tb it they can’t do without tobacco, might make the experi ment of raising that article. Mr. “Al” Daggett, wuo recently con tracted with the government to print postal cards, is turning oat 3,010,- 000 cards a day at his factory in Birmingham, Conn.. Mr. Wauamakor says that they are greatly superior to tnosi now in use. Geu. E. Buid Grubb, who was a Pennsyl vauiau until tne day after he accepted the republican nomination for governor of New Jersey, is maxing a tour of New Jersey, and he finds it a very interesting state. It is thought, however, that after the election he will renew his citizenship in Pona.yl- Tania. William C. You >g, of St. Louis, was en gaged to be married to Miss Je nie Baron, of the same city, but the marriage w >u’t take place. Mrs. Baron concluded that sue had better make particular inquiry con cerning the man who expected to raa ry her daughter, and as a result of her in quiries she found that Young already had • wife and two children. She gave him a public cowhiding, and it will be generally Agreed that he got what he deserved. Mr. Murat Halstead and Mr. James E. Campbell, of Oh.o, a• at dag jars’ pointi. In an op in letter Mr. H date id says that Mr. Campbell was pecuniarily interests ii u a bill hi intro lucad in co ig ess, aid Mr. Campbell says t lat Mr. clalst tad is “a liar And ad >uble liar.” Mr. Camohell is tbs democratic Candida e £o • governor, and Mr. Halstead expects t > be the republic in can didate for United States senator. Tne campaign in Oaio is becoming quite lively. Postmaster Gen ral Wanarnaker has stated once or twice teat he had no interest wortu speaki :g of in the firm of Waia inaker & Brown, and perhaps he has not. Whether he has or not, however, he should give his brother a severe lec ure for dis tributing in Texas c.rculai s in which it is staled in a facetious way that a postoffice goes with every suit of clothes sold by the firm. Tfii: is pl ainly an attempt to use tue postoffice department for tne good of a pri vate firm. Dr. Thomas Keabl >r and Miss Ida Bo >th left Wilmington, DeL, the o;her for Cali;ornia. Dr. K abler was a prominent church member iu Wilmington, and Misi Boot i is the daughter of a former pastor of the Delaware Avenue Baptist church, and a second cousin of Edwin Boat i. Their elopement has created a sensation in Wilmington, .ad Dr. Keabler is roundly denounced, as he deserves to be, for leaving behind, uuprovided for, a son and a daughter. The Washington Post believes in the spoils system, and it doesn’t mind sayi lg so. The Post makes a mistake in opposing the merit system, but perha> s it is right wuen it charges the civil service commissioners with having persi teatly violated the law which they were sworn to obey. At any rate it declares that it can prove the charge, and it asks the commissioners if they will demand an inv -stig .tion. It the i'ost has evidence to support its charge, why not publish it? The woman suffragists and m’c seam to be making any headway in New Y >rk. O the contrary, they seem to be losing ground. At the convention of the Woina .’s Suffrage p it / of that state at Sarat >ga a few days ago, less than half ad ixeu and leg ttsi a ■ •'sored to he roll call, and at a private ****‘'' . at which alo g platform wu> °ly two delegates wore presint, *' UT * *bo i did u>t raac a. mg it.

The benefits to be derived from building and l‘>an assoc.ations are a >t confined to cities. They are within the reacn of anv community, and there are a great many of them. These associations encourage the practice of saving small sums, and tbi practice leads o thrift and industry. The small savings of money malts lager amounts, which are loaned to the members of the associa.ions, who use the :uo ey thus ob tained to buy or im Drove property, the loan being secured by mortgage on the property in whl h it is invested, and being repaid, principal and Imerest, in monthly inst i Until ts within the time agreed upon. By 'he improved plan of oper .ting these associations each member of them eooner or later, if there are no bidders for the money to be loaned, is compelled to borrow at the rate of interest prevailing at the time the loan is assigned to him. By the old plan t.iere was no such c impulsion, and those who did not borrow made those who did pay a pretty heavy intere-t. The old plan was a good one for those of the associations who did not become debtors. The possible profits in building an I loan associations have attracted the attention of capitalists, and there are now nat onal and state associations, which propose to do what local associatio .8 h ive been and still aredoi g. The local associations, however, have one great advantage over the others. It is that they are managed by those who are the friends of the borrowers, and if there should come a time when the debtor members needed help to carry their loans they would, in all probability, get it, be cause the managers would be in a position to consider all tue circumstances connected with the request for assistance, and to de cide whether it would be advisable to grant it. Tuere is another thing to be said in be half of home associations. It is that their members are, as a rule, poor men, who have to practice ecouomy in order to meet their engagementi to the associations. They therefore contract the habit of saving the pennies, and grad ally they beco ue thi ifty and well-to-do members of the com munities in which they live. They becotns interes ed in promoting the prosperity of their respective communities and take a pride in assisting in making improve ments. Every town should have a building and loan association. It will benefit the t >wn in which it is, as well as those connected with it, however small its membership may be. It may he able to build only one house aye ir, but that > ill be something. VVha, it does will encourage others to make im provements, and not the least of its benefits will be the ecouomic&l habits whicn it will help to form. Mr. Parsons Talks Nonsense. Mr. Louis E. Parsons, who was one of the leaders in the movemeut to organize a white man’s Republic in party in t ie s null, and who was recently appointed district attorney for the northern district of Ala bama, snid in an interview the other day: “Give mo en ugh mo .ov and I can carry Alabama for t e republican lionet at every election, and I will do it simply by payi >g men to be honest.” The men to whom Mr. Parsons referred were the election man agers. Tula is an indirect charge that the elec tion managers in Alaba na resort to dishon est metnod* to give the election to the dem ocrats, and it was intended to apply to election ma agers in all of the southern states, as Alabama was referred to only by way of illustration. Mr. Parsons only follows the lead of northern republicans who do not think that it would be to their pa ty’s interest to ad mit that the elections ii the south are fairly conducted, and who, therefore, assert tuat there is neither a free ballot nor a fair c )unt in this sectio i. They have been making this charge for years, but when did tuey eversubs;a .tiate it? Why doesn’t. Mr. Par sons substantiate it? Tne teas mis, doubt less, that they cannot. The southern elections are fairer than tlios <in some of the nortueru states. Iu fact, they are fair elections In many local ities thee .lored people are onsiderably in tbe maj >rity, and wue i that is t ie case the republicans take it for gran ed that tne full colored vote will be cast fir the republican ticket, if it is cast at all, a id wuen t.ie re turns how the election of democrats, they as.-ert that the ■ olor.d people were pre vented from voting, or that colored v tes were not counted. They ignore the fact that quite a .umber of col .red people in the south vote the democratic ticket, and that many others remain away from the polls because they have ceased to regard the right to vote as a very groat privilege. That northern republicans kuow that col red people in the south frequently vote t ie democratic ticket volu itarily was clearly shown a few da s ago, when it was decided to send colored republican speakers to the west to try to prevent colored emi grants from tie south from aliguiug them selves with the Democratic party of that 8 action. Mr. Parsons should, and pr ibably and >es, know auother thing, viz., that southern elect o i ma age s are not to be bribed. Tht-y faithfully perfor n their duties, and if Mr. Parsons were to invite o ,e of them in.o his room, and offer him money to pursue a oeitai i course, no m tter what, in the con duc of an election, he would discover that he had made a very great mistake. It he doesn’t believe that this is true, let him try the bribery plan. A Washington special says that Put master Geneva!

The committee in New York having in charge the selection of a site for the World’s Fair thought tofat it had overcome its greates difficulty when it had c losea tie tract of laud ju-t uorth of Ce itrai Park. It appears, h iwever, that its difficulties are just beginning. A portion o:' tue tract is divided into lots, and bundrelsof po >ple have an interest in it. The majority of tie owners are willing tnat their lots shall he used for the fair, and they will not ask any compensation. There are others, however, who offer either to rent or lease their lots for sums far beyond their real value, aid not a few see n disp ised n it o permit any occupation of their lots. Of course a dozen or two lot owners can prevent the fair from occupy ing the chosen site, and it does not seem improbable that fully that many of them will regard it as their solemn duty t > do what ever they can to obstruct tle fair and dis appiint their fellow-citizens. Ii every community, whenever an enterprise of any kind is p oposed that requires the c i-opera tion of all 1 10 citize is, there are alwa s a few who insist iu pulling the wrong way. Perhaps tuey can’t nelp doing so. They are so constituted that they are not happy unless ihey play the part of obstructors an i disorganize™. There is not much reason to doubt that the fair will be iiN :w Y >rk. Chicago, -St Louis and Washingto i all have a Ivan . iges, but they have no such ones as New York. If the fair is in New York it will, in all probability, pay its expenses. If it is in any other city, it is pretty certain to be a financial failure. While the south feels very kindly to all the other cities, there is no and jubt that . 11 favors New Y irk, for tie reaun that her business relatio is are chiefly with that city, and als > became she hasex-e.leit rail and water transportation faci ities for reach ing it. The site chosen in New York is a very satisfactory one. It can be eas ly reachei from the lower part of the city, and if the fair is 1 icated up in it, tne m ia is :'o • trans porting t e people to and from it will be such as to meet all de nan Is. The Luvorne Postofflce. The order recently issued by P istmaster Ge eral Wana maker to abolish the p ist < 'fil eat Luver ie, Ala,, has not bee \ exe cuted, aid if Mr. Wanarnaker has any regard for the rig its of the people oi Luverne, or for the real facts in the case, it will not be. The dispatches stated that tho order was issued because the white p iopli of L i verne boycotted the newly appointed poitmastor, a colored manna ned G • noz. an 1 burned the huitdi ig which, with great difficulty, he had ob ained for a postofld -o. If tnis was the basis for the orde \ the Post nast -r General labor, and u ider a raisappreheusi m. The real fac.s are quite at variance wita this state ment Luverne is a town of 530 inhabit a its, nearly all of wh >m are white. It was expected that the democratic pist master would be turned out, but as there wore only a few colored people in the place, it was hoped that a w dte republican would be ap p >in ed. When Gomez was ap ointel the white people entered a digoifl-d protest. That is all they did in the matter. It is true the buildi g selected for the >ostofflca was burned, but thpre is no evidence tn t the burning was iuc -udiary. Go nez was not boycotted. He was treated very kindly by the white people, just as he had always been, and after t le bur i ing of the building a white citizen of the place offered to erect a postoffies for him on easy p .ymeuts. Gomez understood, however, that a white postmaster -vas pre ferred, aid about six weeks ago he for warded to Washington his resig latl n, whicn was not accepted. G -mez is a school teac ier, a id it is said that he has never manifested a desire to be postmaster. He says that he lines the white peoole of Luverne, and that he regardt them as his personal friends. He ia said to have tele graphs 1 to the postmaster ge eral, aski ig him not to have the order executed. The truth is tha Mr. Wana oaker should have ac -opted the resignation of Go n >z. and app >i .ted a whit< postmaster, and if a de nocrat had been selected it would have been all the better. The populati >a of Lu verne being almost exclusively white demo crats, it follows that a more satisfact >ry postmaster could be found atno g them. Mr. Wanarnaker pr desses to believe in the merit sys: em, but his course is not iu accord ance with it. A naval officer said to the New York Herald a day or two ago: "You can bet ail the mouey you have that Minister D luglass ami his white wife will never be asked to b. eikfast or dinner by officers of the Kearsarge. Tbe ni u who occupies the most e i barrasing position is Com mander Whiting. The mini-ter will, of course, invite him to dine with nun iu the c.bin, but whether Commander Whiti g will be afflicted with sea sickness on that date or not cannot be a-certained until the ship arrives at Hayti. You cannot ma,.e navy people recognize Douglass or his fa mily on a plane of social equa ity. Tney w n’t do it” The appointment of D uglass seems to have been a bad move for t e Harrison administration, although it was intended to make the colored people believe t .at the administration was very friendly to them. A fe v days ago a member of the White Man’s Republican Club of Houston. Tex s, said: “ The sout iere negro is as free to vote as you or I, but he is not relia le. He votes as often wi h the democrats as he and ies with the republic ms. He should lie disfrau cuised.” That is what it seems to be com ing to in the Republican party. As long as the negro could be depended upon to vote the epublican tic .et. no republican said a word in favor of disfranchisement, but when he began to vote the dem era tic ticket about as often as the republican ticket, then the republican leaders wondered i,' it was not a mistake to bestow upon him the right to vote. If tne negro is disfranchised, he will be disfranchised by repubi.cans. Some republicans are maxi ig a great t > do because Sun Joy is a do u ic-atic caudi da c f>r council nan in India ap >1 s a. tie election this weak.

Mahone an i His Tricks. From the Boston He aid (/ad.). There is one aspect of Mahoneism which has been very little discussed, althou .u it is perhaps more imp >i taut than any other. As is well known, Ma ione’B chief resource is the negro vote, and to ootaiu tuat he goes to all lengths in tne present campaign, at he has done in former campaigns. The colored man Is cajoled, coax and, frightened, anil induced in other and even wor-e ways to vote against tue democrats. Even the negro women, as we showed the other day, are made to serve as tools for Maho .e; and it is alle red that the degrading arts of voo dooistn are call -d into play, Tnere is nothing to surprise a iyb dy in this charge.

He thought such a ride must be very poetic in deed. “My dear young friend,” replied the explorer, I can teil you how you can get a partial idea °f what riding a camel on the deserts of’ Africa is like.

From the New York World. Two girls were standing on the street corner engaged iu a social chat when a suddsn gust of wind lifted a li lit veil from the nat of one of them and carried it down .he street. Presently the owner of the veil missed the adornment and tbe following co wersation ensued: ‘ Now, Mary Ann, give up that veil or Oi‘ll knock yer two eyes into wan!” “To the divil wi i ye and yer veil. Oi haven't got it, and Oi wadn’t wear th 1 loikes av it if Oi ad.” “Give It up or Oi'll bang ye wan in the ja 1 !” Some more words passed, in the course of which the o vner of the missing veil re ninded the owner that she bad eft her la t pa e be cauke she carried away m ire sug ir ana cofT -e than the family used, aud at last they fed to blows. “3V hat's the matter here?” yelled a police m .n, as he came running up aud separated the combatants. ” ary Ann stole me veil." “Yer a lyin’ thafe I haven’t seen yer veil.” Just the.i a boy, who had see 1 the ved disap p..ai, came back and r st .red it to the owuer, and the two girls went aw r ay arm in arm.

Would Have Cost Him Dearly. From the New York Star. The last time I saw Gen. Russell A. Alger of Michigan in New York he told a remarkably good story upon himself, which is worthy of rep.'titi n. While stumpiog the wolverine state during '.is gubernatorial canvass the gene at was ac co npamed by “Tom” Applegate, one of Micui gan’s best known co ntry editors, whose subscribers admired "Tom” .or ids Jeffersonian simplici yin dress and manner. Alger, ns a general rule, in making a politica. canvass, trave s in oriental splendor, with a train of attendants, and in his private palace car. In going through Applegate s district, Gen. Alger had it fully impress and upon him by the plai i editor tue fact that it would be more in keeping with the granger sentiment to tie up the palace car and travel in a hay cart. Tue presid ntial aspirant reluctant y prepared for a heavy wagon jolt ever the Michigan hills. After reacuing Burr Oak, wh re Alger was announced to address the farmers on oleomargarine, a pure ha.lot and purer milk, the two politicians were covered with dust. Gen. Alger bad no sooner ascended the platform than he drew from a neat russet leather bag a si ver-bacsed plush trimmed clotues brush with which he ener getically proceeded to brush the dust off his garments. After he had finished the task he handed the tancy brusn to the country editor, aud said: “Here, Tom. brush off your clothes.” Tom looked at the richly ca ved silver backed brush, and with fear and trembiin r, after taking in the faces of tho grangers pre ent, said: “Gr at heavens, general, put it up. If I used that brush on this coat of mine, before th se old uiossbacks here, I’d lose every subscriber I’ve got in twenty-four hou s ” 'lhe Vokes Family’s sta;e Debut. From the Inter Ocean. Victoria Vokes has been tell ng a friend how the once celebrated Vokes .amity came into theatrical existence. “My faiher,” she r lutes, “a hearty o and gentleman, was a uianu,actor r of naval and military uniforms iu London. A friend of his was Manger Creswicz of the Surre, theater, who once gave him an order for a lot of trappin s for a gorgeous co npany t major-generals who were to appe r in a spectacular piece. We children were ail ta ;en to see this spectacle. Mr Civs vick gave us a box. I was a baby in arms, but I went wita tue re t. and on that very evening I ma le my debut before the admiring pu lie. In the piece was a baby. At tbe lime that the oaby suo.i.d have been brought on to be kissed by its per ecule.i, on ner-way-t -Sib ria m tiler it was taken with the colic, ana tbe management were in a quandary. At that point I lifted my voice and crowed at Fred, w o was trying to stand ou his bead in a corner of the box, to the agitaiion of my mot .er, a id Creswicg sa.v his salvation. He rustied around to us. ” ‘Lend me your baby, Voke ,’ he cried. “ ‘But, my dear sir ’ exclaimed my aston ished father. " ‘Oh. that’s all right. Mrs Vokes can stand in the wings. Now give me tue baby and saw the scene.' "i was deposited, with my legs and fists going like windmills, in Creswick’s arms, and my mother followed, Fred clinging to tier ssirts, and mj father ringiug up the r--ar. I was p.aced i.i tue arms of the 'afflicted countess’ and slowly carried to the lootliguts, where I was kissed aid wept over. Ail througn it I crowed heartily. A big round of applause greeted ray efforts, and wnen 1 was snatched ,rom the embraces ot the affli .-t and couniesg’ by one of the fiercest of the major-generals, tueac.ion wasieceived with a storm of uis-es fro n pit an gall ry. I was iest red to my legitimate mother and my debut was over. "For the u-xt five or six years we children had ttie run of the Surrey tlieater, and my fatuer's business with theatrical people in Cieased, unli by and -green tbe rtav,.r of tbe siaga permeated tbe whole famtiy.

There i a family at Rjscoif, in France, in which such a rem.irK would be appropriate, since there are five generations of it alive at tn s moment.

For a month past tbe people in the eastern part of MoLeau county, Illinois, have been ter rorized byastraige wild animal whic i they thought to be a pant ier. Tie animal Killed a large oum .er of calves, pigs and sheep, and would attack larger ani als. It was of af. ro cious u ature, aud the farmers were greatly alarmed at its presence. Tney organized hunt ing parties, auu after several chases succeed, and in killing it. Its s ill was presented to the Wesleyan University museum, and the animal proves to have be n a Canadian lynx. It was of a dark brown color, and weighed about 100 pounds. The only jack-rabbit farm in the country, so far as known, is situated on a flat alkali section near a town ia Central Ka isas It and iti jack rabbits are tne property of a coursing assoca Gon,which will n t sell a rabbit to any one else, and which depends on its farm for the supply of h ires t ikeu to other cities in park coursin z events. A year ago the proj ct irs of this novel farm had only about thirty jack rabbits, which had for tue most part beeu purchased when young from farmer boys who had found them. To-da., owing to accretions from similar sources and to the very rapid multiplication of the species, there are be we n ZOO and 300 full g owu jacks on the farm, and the question of supply may be fairly said to be settled. “One of the youngest, if not the youngest female princ pal of a public school in New York," says Mr. John P.

Its first cost is not the greatest ex ease. It is so large and awnward to carry around that it is continually getting injured by accidents which would n t happen to smaller instruments. Somebody may wick a hole in it by dancing agai is; it in a room, or it ma. be knocked against something while carrying it around. It is most frequently injured on street cars while tue musician is cair, iug it to the place where be has to play-. After a man has had an instrument fra long lime i e comes t - look upon it as actually wort i ad the m i ey that it has cost him, and in this way a bass viol is value I at SI,OOO or so by its owner. A musician who sued a railroad co - for $5,000 for a viol lost in an accident actually got $3,800. A remarkable mistake was made at the ope u ing of the industrial fa rat Toronto. Sir Joh i A.

One of t em was John L ys, member of the provincial parliament tor Toronto. He advanced to the front and laid his heavy white bat right on top of the electric button. Instantly tuere was a slirieKing of whistles, and the machinery in the building began 1 1 run. Tie crowd roared with laughter, and after much gesticulation and running about tue managers stopped the pro ceeding, and the machinery was started by Sir John aud Lady Macdonald. Orlando Brown, of Wa erford. Conn., had been mowing roadside wends, and athirst he went to drink at a wayside well.

At Fulbeck, near Grantham, England, there has just passed away a most eccentric charac ter. He went to Australia some twenty-five years ago, and returned home in 1985 with a large fortune, which he began spending very freely. He purcnased valuable articles and invariably destroyed them.
