But the cuances are that Call will eventually get in. Suing twenty-eight people for slander in one day is the remarkably large contract that a New York woman lately uudertook. Cutting bis corn is said to have killed a Kentucky man. How is the Kentuckian to get bis bitters if that sort of peril con tinues? Louisiana has a mill that bores a barrel out of a solid iog in thirty seconds. Tnat is the only place in this country now known where bo. es are wanted. Slugger Slavin says he is not afraid of any livi ig man. As much might be said by any poll parrot with equal truth. But that intimates that spooks are barred. By a disagreement of the jury Monsieur T'leutv Horses has another grub at life. Htraugcly enough It was by a slight disa greement that he got into his predicaraeut. That alleged messenger from the United Sta es sent to convey pecu niary relief to the families or the Italians slain by the New Orleans lynchor*. according to the discoveries of au enter prising Italian paper, is probably soma ad venturer vvjth au ax to grind, unless be may be a dele OVe sent to ascertain the aute owient. end records of tbs raea lynch.*!. In •liber svent Ls is not llksiy to distribute ii money. W here Are the Jewe Going? There are at least 5,000,000 Jews in Russia, and the government of that country is de ; temiined to get ril of them. They are not wanted In any part of the vast region ruled by the czar, and the hardships to which they are subjected are being made greater than they can endure. They are, therefore, emigrating as fast as they can set tle their busmess affairs. Many who hare large interests, fearing tnat they will lose all they have if they remain in the country much longer, awe placing their affair* in the hands of Russian agents with the hope of saving something of their fortunes. The tnna who is doing more for them than any other is Baron Hirsch of Paris, a man of almost fabulojs wealth. He has already invested <2,500,000 for the benefit of those of them who come to this country, and in an interview the other day he intimated that he might spend his whole fortune in taeir behalf. He said, "What is the use of mouey unless you can do si me good with it?” If more rich men thought as he does with respect to money there would be much less misery' in the world. But not all the Jews who are leaving Rus sia are coming to this country. It is pro posed to send a large number of them to South American countries. Immense tracts of land have been purchased in the Argentine Republic for them, and already many hundreds of families have been es tablished there. Later on there will be a large emigration to Brazil, where a wel como awaits them, and where, it is believed, they can quickly become self-sustaining and even prosperous. They are not beggars and paupers. It is seldom that one of them is found among the criminal or pauper classes. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 have coine to this coun try since the beginning of last year. Aud nearly all of them are getting alohg fully as well as could be expected. They are not an agricultural people and, therefore, com paratively few of them go into the rural districts. They settle in the cities aud larger towns, and find employment in busi ness occupations, in the trades and in man ufacturing establishments. Being thrifty, they save mouoy. They make it a rule fo spend less than they make, however little they make. Guided by such a rule, they cannot help getting ahead in the world. They make better citizens than either Italians cr Hungarians, because those who come here expect to remain, and they obey the laws and adapt themselves to their sur roundings. It is true that they cannot be assimilated—that is, they- do not lose their identity in the course of time, as the Germans aud Irish do, because they do not intermarry with other races—but they become thor oughly identified with the country and uphold its institutions. As yet no objec tion to them as immigrants has been raised, and as long as they are in harmony with the spirit of our institutions no objection to them will be raised. Massachusetts' New Bishop. The election of Dr. Phillips Brooks, of the Episcopal church, to the position of bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts does not give general satisfaction to the Episcopa lians of Massachusetts. There is no doubt that he is a very popular and a greatly be loved man. No other Episc ipal clergyman has a w ider fame or more admirers. There is not a word to be said against him as a man, and few find fault with him as a clergyman. But there ore many who think he will be a failure as a bishop. It is ad mitted that be is an eloquent preacher. It is doubtful if there is a more eloquent ono in his own or any other denomination, but has he the executive equalities necessary to administer the office of bishop successfully ? That is the question that is being asked. Many Episcopalians find fault with his liberality. He is not only i Broad Church man, hut also what is called a Low Church man. It Is said that he has gone even bs yond Dr. Haber Nevrton and Dr. Rainsford of New York in fraternizing with the ministers of other denominations, It was siated openly in the Episcopal convention which chose him bishop that he would, in all probability, be more conservative as a bishop than he had been as rector of Trinity church in Boston, the church which was built for him at a cost of *1,000,000. There is not much doubt that to personal admiration rather than a belief in his fit ness for the office he owes his election as bishop. But he may give a3 much satis faction in his new position as he has in that of rector of Trinity. If he does many Episcopalians who wish him well, but who question the wisdom of making him a bishop, will be glad to admit that they were mist .ken. That ho is an earnest Christian there is no doubt. It is his broad sympathy with every kind of Christian effort that makes him so popular outßide of his own denomination. Merchants' Weex Visitors!. Six days of uninterrupted hilarity have passed. Merchants’ week is relegated to the past. Nearly all of our country cousins have gone home. It Is to be hoped that they are all in a happy frame of mind. It would certainly be tho bight of bad treat ment to bring them hero upon the faith of the united invitation of the reputable mer chants of Savnunah and then allow even so many as au unconspicuous one go back with anything to regret. Sinoe our old established business houses assumed re sponsibility for their enjoyment and enter tainment it is only fair to assume that they satisfied all reasonable expectations, aud properly look 3d after the welfare of the guests upon whose custom they directly and indirectly rely for business. Bui nging in people from the country in that way is a groat advantage to the business of the city, and the more they are pleased the more likely they are to return. During the past week visitors have had before them quite a var ety of entertainments, all of which they appeared to thoroughly enjoy. After five days of constantly changing spectacle and parade and music they were given a quiet day Saturday in which to spend whatever money they had left from paying hotel bills and experimenting with street fakirs. Merchants’ week is an established institu tion in Savannah, that will hereafter be looked forward to a whole year by the rural population with happy anticipations of a merry holiday. Young Mr. Harrison commends Mr. Blaine to publio esteem pretty much as if be were a faithful coachman or a favorite butler in the eniplov of the mao who is President merely because Bialue did not cbooeo to take the nomination from him. But the chances are that Mr. Blalno may decide differently lh. time. Kansas farmers are said to have devoted •o much time to the alliance that their crops are almost a complete failure. If pol ities so a fleet* the farmers they would do wall to leave it alone. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 3, 1891—TWELVE PAGES. Political Professions. Notwithstanding Resident Harrison's ap parently cordial proßssiont of friendliness toward the ex-confederate soldier, the New j York Evening Post shows that five years age, as a l cited Stales senator, he voted to fasten upon tne survivors of that unfortu nate cause the unreasonable law which posi tively prohibits them from manifesting their loyalty to the union by joining the United States army. With that unqualified inhibition before them, republican poiiticiaus still persist in referring to the alleged disloyalty of thoee men upon whom they have placed that stigma which prevents any sort of volun tary manifestation of patriotism they might feel disposed to make. With this before them, and many oth-r plainly flagrant acts of the most indisputable h'wttlity toward them, simply because. over a quarter of a century ago, they fought to sustain their opinions and thojr rights as they understood them, the republicans still have the audacity to complain and the stupidity to wonder that these unjustly ostracised citizens, who pay their fair quota of taxes to sustain this union, should refuse to indorse and join and vote with the party that has always done its utmost to proscribe and persecute and humiliate them in every possible way. So long as the narrow and vindictive policy that has for twenty-five years domi nated the Reuublican party holds sway just so long will every man who has either di rectly or indirectly been injured by that policy hold uloof from the party that insti tuted and sustains it. To* withstand op pression with patience and fortitude rather than resort to violent resentment requires a degree of manly courage that is creditable to any people. But to join hands and aid the oppressors is asking a little too inu^h. Ranting about "equal rights liefore the law” and “a free ballot and a fair count” might be all very well if there was anything in the Republican party record to justify such pretensions. But there is not. Quite the contrary. Whether tho black tnan gets his rights at the polls will always be disputed by the re publicans if he happens to vote against the interests of their party. They can never bring themselves to understand why the mortgage they claim upon his vote does not in every instance hold good. If he votes the republican ticket they are ready to ad mit that he has had his rights. If he votes the democratic ticket, then they are ready to swear that he has been disfranchised. In their disinterested enthusiasm to secure to him his constitutional rights they want to force him to vote the republican ticket whether he wishes to or not. For the nonce let us suppose that he doesn’t get his full rights. Even then he is but little worse off than the white men among whom he lives. To a certain ex tent every man south of the Potomac is practically disfranchised. Would any sane man undertake to say that a Georgian could be elected President of the United States? Certainly not. Not because he would not fully fill the constitutional requirements, and add honesty and ability as well. But ho would be cried down simply because he chanced to live within a proscribed area. Whenever the Georgian is accorded the eame rights and privileges in all respects as the Ohioan or the Pennsylvanian enjoy?, then it will be time to talk to him about auy political shortcomings that may be ap parent to those who take so lively au in terest in his faults, but can never recognize his virtues. Then will their admonitions and recommendations appear sincere, and he hearkened to with kindly appreciation. Prof. John LeCoute. Tho eminent scientist, Prof. John Le- Conte, who died at Berkley, Cal., on Wednesday, was a native of this state. He was born in Liberty county—a county in which many men who have attained dis tinction were born—and at the time of his death he was a little more than 72 years of nge. His father was the naturalist Lewis LaConte, and one of his brothers is Prof. Joseph LeConte of the University of Cali fornia, the institution with which Prof. John L Conte was connected at the time of his death. He was appointed professor of physics and industrial mechanics in the university in 1869. For five years, from 1876 to 18S1, ho held the office of president of tho university in connection with his professorship. Prof. IjeConte's life was a very useful one. For ha'f a century it was devoted to scien tific pursuits, first in medicine and after ward iu physical studies. And his fame spread beyond the limits of his own coun try. He was a valuablo contributor to the scientific journals of Europe as well as of this country. As long ago as 1857 he de livered leotures in tho Smithsonian Institu - tion In Washington on the “Physics of Me teorology.” Prof. LeConte graduated from the uni versity of this state when he was twenty years of ege, and from the College of Physicians and Surgeon* in New York three years later. In 1843 he became a resident of this city, and began the practice of the profession of medicine, and in 1846 he accepted the professorship of Natural Philosophy in tho State University, which position he retained until 1855. After leaving the State University ho wont to New York and lectured a year before the College of Physicians and Surgeons of that city, and then accepted the chair of Natural aud Mechanical Philosophy in the South Carolina College. There he remained thirteen years, aud very studious and busy years they were. He had about completed a treatese on “General Physics,” which was destroyed whon Columbia was burned in 1865. Prof. LeConte made an impress! sn upon his day and generation. The work he did has borne much fruit and will bear much more. He helped to make the world better and wiser, and while his death causes profound regret in this oountry and Europe, in three states, Georgia, South Carolina and California, his memory will always have a place of honor among those of their most distinguished men. There is something very remarkable about the recent deliberate suiode of Mrs. Flor ence Biedler in Baltimore.

One of the best known society women of Philadelphia spends the spring months in her country place, a few miles out of the city. This lady, who may be called Mrs. Stellcart, says the Philadelphia Press , although that is not her name, went out there with her family a few weeks ago. Soon after opening the country house her husband arrived from tho west,where he had been on business, bring,ng w ith him a magnificent Kentucky saddle horse, which he gave to his daughter Eleanor for a b rthday present. Not long afterward the gentleman was again called away from this part of the country, and that same afternoon his wife dis charged the ooachmftu for being impudent. When evening came on Mrs. Stellcart was in a quandary. She knew that horse hud to he taken care of, and s' e didn’t know exactly how to do it, so she said to her daughter: "Eleanor, we’ve got to put Toag to bed I recollect hearing your lather tell John to be very careful to bed him down nicely, so we must do as well as we can." * They went to the stable, and took from the carriage house the cushion of a wagon seat, and a conple of horse blankets. Then the v repaired to the stall in which the Kentucky saddle horse was rapid y growing hungry, likewise wearv. Mrs Stellcart and Eleanor placed the cushion where they supposed tho horse would use it for a pillow, and managed to arrange one of the blankets to sene in lieu of a mattress. Then they tried to coax Toag to lie down, in order that they might throw the other blanket over him and took it in niceiy about his heels. But. for some unaccountable reason. Toag wouldn't he down. They tried to coax him and to throw him off his feet, but the greatly astonished horse at last protested so strongly that the ladies gave up their work. Their house is situated half a mile from any other. and they didn’t know what to do But at last a bright idea struck Eleanor, and she with her mother hurried to the front gate and stayed there until two men passed by. These were called; the situation was explained to them. They didn't understand it at first, but Mrs. Stellcart finally burst into tears and begged them to come in and put the horse to bed. The men willingly walked to the stable and looked at the stall for a moment. Then they leaned against the wall and laughed until they were nearly exhausted. Toag went to bed as usual that night, but be didn't sleep on the cushion of a wagonseat, and covered with blankets Every day since this occurrence those two men have made it a point to walk past Mrs Stellcart'* residence, stopping at the front gate long enough to roar with laughter so she could hear them. Lookin’ After Pete. Just at the top of a long hill, as we had stopped the hors* to hreathe, says the New York Sun, a farmer came up. He was at least 65 years old, being very gray and wrinkled, and ho was so decrepit that BO had to use a staff "Say, youl Have you seen anything of my son Pete along here?" he called, as he stopped At the buggy wheel. "We haven't met anybody on foot this morn ing. How old is he?" “ ’Bout 43, and six feet high.” “Wherewash* going?" “He’s run away Packed up his duds and slid out afore I got up this morning-the on grateful rascal! 1 didn't believe that of Pete.” "Why, he was of age "Makes no difference! 1 alius kept him at home, and alius mean to. He'c bin gittln' board and lodging right along, and last summer I let him sell a whole sheepskin to a peddler aud keep tne money. He's got to come baox or I'll know the reason why!” "You can't bring him back, can you?" ‘‘Can't I! Don't you Agger that I can’t! I think he took the next cross road and made a bee line fur Spoonersville. I’m right, on his track, and I'll foller him up. When 1 find him I'll taka both hands hold of his collar like this -and I’ll rattle his jawbones—like this- and I’ll lay him on his back and lam thunder out of him tor about fifteen minutes. Then I’ll walk him home, and you orter be around and see them stumps grubbed out and thin rail lances mended: Can't bring my son Pjte back, eh! He’s of aige, eh? Guess you air strangers in these parts, aud never heard of ole ’Squar’ Tyler!" "Well, we wish you luck " “Thanks, but I don't keer fur wishes. I'm sartin to find Pet*, an’ by the great white ox I’ll continer to wollop him fur ten minutes after he hollers ’nuff! Good day!” A Woman’s Way. Jules Reymonde in Cassell's Magazine.

Dirino the recent visit of Jay Gould of New York and hia daughter to Washington they were taken through the treasury building, and, of course, into the money room. Th-re, ass usual, the giii le care tnetn the opportunity of holding $1.(00.000 in their rands As Miss Could held tne money, the Hibernian guile, who had no idea who the visitors were, remarked: “Ocb, Miss, aflf yez only owned the loikes ar that now. yez wouldn't be nadin to worry about where yez would be getting your spring wraps at ah!, at ahl.” Ik you do learn your speech by heart, do not embellish it with unnecessary apostrophes, like a memlter of the French'Chain her who, in the midst of the most profound sileccr.suid: * In vain does your clamor try to stifle my voice; your rude howls do not Intimidate me;” or, like Quintilian s orator pleading against Cas sius Severus, who suddenly, stopping short, cried out to his opponent. "Why do you fix on me that angry scowl!” “I," said Cassius, sur prised. "I was not even thinking of you, hut since you have it written so, I am ready to oblige,” at the same time making a hideous grimace which threw the audience into fits of laughter. Senator Hansbrotoh of North Dakota is one of the new senators, hut he has served a term in the House of Representatives and has learned the ropes at the national capital. Twelve or fifteen years ago Hansbrough, who was horn in New York, was practically a tramp printer. He drifted out to St. Paul and later into North Da kota, where he succeeded inestablishing a num b"r of smail newspapers. With these paters he made himself felt in politics and succeeded in getting sent to congress. Then there was a deadlock in the legislature last winter over the election of a successor to Senator Pierce, and Hansbrough was lucky enough to draw the prize himself. Is its explanation of the Sunday school Bible lesson on the book of Jonah, the Baptist Teacher took the following extraordinary posi tion: "If it had pleased G< and so to order, it would have been entirely possible even for an oyster to swallow Jonah—quite as easy as for Jonah to have swallowed an oyster.” Upon which the Congreoationalist thus comments: ”Tf it ha 1 pleased Hod so to order, it would hav-- been entirely possible for him to have made an oyster a Sunday school teacner: and it would hardly have been more remarkable than that one who could write such nonsense as the comment quoted should be chosen for that place. But the oyster, if allowed to follow his natural instincts, would have kept his mouth closed.” Princess Marianne Bonaparte, who died at the age of 80, on the same day as "Plon-Plon,” was the daughter of Signor Conchetti, the sculptor. She and ner husband. Prince Lucten Bonapart’, for a time dwelt in the second story of the bouse in wnieh Napoleon I. was born, in A jaccio. After a married life of eighteen years the prince made repeated efforts to get a divorce from the princess. He offered her a large sum of money to consent to the legal separation. “No,” she replied to his offer, "the name of Bonaoarte is worth more to me than the greatest fortune.” True to her word, she liven and died in the Napoleon house. Sbe re ceived from her husband and the ex-Empress Eugenie an annual pension of O,COD francs. Prince Lucian has lived for many years in Eng land, where he has aevoted himself to scientific study.

An American girl in Paris writing to a friend in this country says: “We generally managed to make our French understood enough to order what we wanted. But the rub came when papa wanted some mustard. Wo asked for it in French. Italian and Spanish, but all to no purpose, till mamma said: ‘Mustard, you idiot!’ ‘O, mustard,’ said the waiter in utter contempt; ’why didn't you say s j before!’ In Paris one day papa noticed a man stop a mail who was walking in front of him and address him in French. Ho was evidently asking a question in regard to his watch, which he held in his hand. But the other failed to understand him, and he left him much annoyed, and, turn ing to papa, repeated the request in French, still pointing to his watch. Papa shook his head and said, T speak English only,' ’O, do you!’ said the stranger, why, so do I. I am from Louisiana.’ ” A Hindoo girl babv is an unwelcome addition to the family; her birth is supposed to be no bless ing, but a curse and a sign of divine wrath, says the Chicago Herald. Rukhmabal says that when the newborn baby is a girl ”tlie father gnashes his teeth and stamps his feat. The mother is sorely disappointed, and although her tenderness may bring its sura wealth of love she curses both herself and the child. There is, moreover, a notion that women who bear only girls are sinful, Dd this intensifies the grief.” Another Hindoo woman gives the same testi mony. Ramabai (high caste Hindoo widow! says in no country in the world is a mother so laden with care and anxiety in anticipation of the birth of a child as in India. All her hope of happiness depends upon the sex of the unborn child. A wife who bears daughters and do sons is frequently put away by her husband. Hus bands sometimes threaten their wives that if the coming child is a daughter, the offending mother will be henceforth banished from the society of her lord and master, anew w ife will be installed in her place and the offending wife will be made into tne servant and drudge of the household. Ramabbi does not merely make genera! statements to the effect, but gives sev eral special instances that have come within her own knowledge among her own friends and ac quaintances of punishment having been meted out to mothers who gave birth to girls. Mothers try to avert the bad luck of having s daughter by superstitious ceremonies previous to the birth of the child.
