One scandal is scarcely closed op and the
flooring nailed down in the pension bureau
before another bulges into view. Now it is
an importunate money lender who has
been practicing usury upon the clerks
through some cf their superiors that has to
be tenderly handled and duly whitewashed.
After that there is no telling what may
come next.
Influenza is said to have played sad havoc
among the inhabitants of Gotham under
the alias of grip. It carried up the death
rate to an alarming extent during the month
of April. Enough people died within the
thirty days to have made quite a good-sized
city if they were living and a large ceme
tery dead. They aggregated 13,98 L Rather
an alarming total that.
Witnesses of Peter Hart’s recent experi
ment with a torpedo in Pennsylvania state
as a curious fact that the fragments of his
remains exactly filled a grape basket when
collected by friends from Bradford. People
who may contemplate experimenting with
torpedoes in other parts of the country may
judge from the results of Peter’s experiment
just what sort of a basket to take along to
be hauled home in.
Breaking the ooean record is gradually
becoming so common an occurrence as to
scarcely attract attention. Possibly the
new Hamburg-American liner Furat Bis
marck would have been accorded but very
kttle attention despite her remarkably quick
voyage of six days, fourteen hours and
thirty minutes from Southampton, excent
for her name. But that indicates that the
Bismarck energy is still quite active enough
to command the attention of the world.
Diligent search along the walls of Liver
pool and under all the barrels and boxes
and behind all dark objects has thus far
failed to disclose any beef cattle from the
United States tainted with pieuro-pneuma
nia. But a few Canadian bisons of lean and
unwholesome aspect are said to have been
yanked out from some obscure plnoe and
charged with the offense. Her majesty’s
government should be careful not to charge
up to the United States the brutal enormi
ties of her own dependencies.
By the recommendation of the Presby
terian general assembly at Detroit Dr.
Briggs is to remain undisturbed for at least
a year. Very likely the worst part of the
doctor’s trial is now over. Rushing in their
report in the way they did indicates that
the members of the committee had decided
that the great theologian’s utterances were
not so altogether repugnant to the doctrine
of the church as they at first supposed,
•r else they considered him too strong to be
torced out in so summary a manner.
Papal newspapers in Rome show a decided
inclination to discredit the statements con
cerning tne pontiff’s contemplated mediation
between Italy and the United States relative
to the New Orieaus affair, because of their
belief that such a course would involve
papal recognition of the Italian government.
That sounds rather absurd. As the Italian
government apparently gets along very
well without from the pope it seems rather
an unnecessary precaution on the part of the
vatiean to to studiously avoid recognizing
King Humbert’s government

The South's Future.
In an article in this week's issue of the
Record , a synopsis of
which was pubUshed in our dispatches yes
terday, Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
the well-known statistician, speaks in glow
ing terms of that large section cf the south
which is known to be rich in deposits of coal
and iron. That section, according to Mr.
Atkinson’s estimates, contains 250,0(10
square miles, an area equal to that of Eng
land, Wales, Scotland, Belgium, half of
France and half of Germany combined. Its
climate is superb, and it is capable of pro
ducing, in measureless abundance, fruits,
grain, meats, vegetables, aDd, in fact,
almost everything needed for man’s happi
ness and comfort.
And this vast region is very sparsely set
tled, and land in many parts of it can be
purchased at very reasonable prioee. Its
mineral resources have scarcely been
touched. No one can estimate how vast
these resources are. It is an invi ting field
for farmers, manufacturers and miners,
and is capable of supporting millions of
people.
The south is the most desirable section of
this country, and capitalists and home
seekers are just beginning to find this out.
More northern capital is Leing invested in
the south now than at any previous time in
her history, and the time is not distant
when the youug men of the north, instead
of going to the new states, will seek the
south. And they will be wise in doing so,
for the south is bound to have a w ouderful
growth in the very near future. Indeed,
her advancement in wealth and population
within the last decade has been remarkable.
Within her limits she has the raw mate
rials in abundance for all kinds of manu
factures in which cotton, iron and wood
are the chief factors, and her agricultural
lauds compare favorably with those of any
other section. And manufacturing can be
carried on within her limits cheaper than
elsewhere. What then is to hinder her
from becoming the most prosperous section
of the union? And why should not the young
men of the north, who are looking for fsvor
ble locations in which to begin their careers,
prefer the south to any other section! Why
should not northern farmers, who cannot
make a living out of the sterile soil of New
England, seek new hoine6 in the south!
Capitalists have already discovered how
rich the south is, and they are investing in
southern enterprises. It will not be long
before the farmers, mechanics and ambi
tious young men will follow them. Mr,
Atkinson and other men like him are doing
a good work in making known the south's
advantages.
Injustice to Colquitt.
The New York Mail and Express, com
menting on the recent visit of Senator Col
quitt to Gov. Hi ! l, makes the statement
“that the versatile Georgian, although now
in his 68th year, is known as an agile fol
lower of the saltatory movements of the
political cat, and the Georgians seem to
think that if he had not thought Hill was
likely to be a bigger ram than Cleveland he
would not have gone to Albany on purpose
to pay him a visit.”
Is not the foregoing unjust to Senator
Colquitt! Who of those who know him
well will say that his political course has
been such as to entitle him to be called a
political weather-cock! He went to Albany
to see Gov. Hill, but can any one say that
he offered to support him for the demo
cratic presidential nomination in 1892!
Senator Colquitt was a warm supporter
of Mr. Cleveland’s administration, and if
he has changed bis views with reference to
Mr. Cleveland he has not yet announced
the fact. It is well known that the senator
is an earnest tariff reformer, while it is far
from certain that Gov. Hill is entirely in
harmony with his party on the tariff issue.
It is not easy to see, therefore, how Senator
C-olquitt can consistently abandon Mr.
Cleveland for Gov. Hill. The probabilities
are that the Mail and Express is not more
just to Senator Colquitt in insinuating that
he has become a supporter of Gov. Hill
than it is in characterizing him as “an agile
follower of the saltatory motions of the
political cat.”
At a meeting of republioan editors in
Kansas a few days ago Potato Producer
Ingalls gave a wild whoop and took a sav
age whack at the country with an imag
inary gory nether garment that he ap
peared to think would make him look very
fierce and dangerous, while he literally be
spattered every state in the union against
which he has a personal prejudice. After
indulging in such a tirade as would have
curdled almost any one’s blood oa a dark
night he suddenly calmed down to the very
reasonable statement that “the campaign
of 1892 will be waged upon economio and
practical questions and not upon memories
or emotions.” Very likely the distinguished
potato propagator ie now ready to talk
“practical questions,’’ such as 8 per cent,
and a mortgage, otc., si .ice he has fired off
all of his superfluous hoarded up memories
and emotions
Now Italy wil! probably be puzzled some
more. Since a number of Russians recently
drove a fierce aud dusky Italian into the
river at Denver in the course of an interna
tional slugging sociable, King Humbert’s
statesmen will probably take recourse ta
scratching their diplomatic heads again iu
their quandary as to whether they shall de
mand money from Russia or from the
United States. Soaking an Italian is un
doubtedly an offense against the monarch
with the straight hair. Beside money may
prove get-at-able. Both countries are rich.
Sweetness is swooping down on Philadel
phia. Just about this time sugar seems to
be badly needed in the Quaker City. But
even Treasurer Bardsley’s enormous short
age of municipal funds doesn't call for quite
as much sugar as now reported to be hover
ing around the inlets of Penn town. Thirty
vessels carrying 12,000 tons of raw sugar
from the West Indies, valued at a minimum
aggregate of $720,000, must make the in
habitants of that serene village feel de
ctdedly comfortable and hopeful. Such a
thing doesn't happen there often.
Arizona is making trouble for tbe Mor

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 30. 1891.
Ingersoll Talks About the Farmers.
Although Col. Ingersoll.the distinguished
agnoetic, is well informed on almost every
subject be oonflaes himself at a rule to law,
politics and religion. Once in a while, how
ever, he talks of other matters in that pict
uresque language for which he is so famous.
In *•. Paul, Minn., the other day the
spirit moved him to express his views with
respect to the farmers’ movement, and this
is what he said:
Ido not blame the farmers for trying to
better their condition. They have certainly
had a hard time and they feel that thev
have been oppressed by the bankers, rail
roads, merchants, and patent medicine
makers, to say nothing or ministers and
lawyers. Everything seems to be against
them. Tney have to fight frost and floods
and droughts and all sorts of worms and bugs
and specu ators and cyclones, and ail the
birds of the air. Everybody and every
thing takes toll from the farmers. No
wonder that they want to do something. I
do not think the planks in the Cincinnati
platform can be fastened together and held
in place. The farmers ought to know that
resolutions passed by political conventions
raise neither corn nor wheat, neither can
they affect prices. I do not believe that
the government can make money by law
any more than it can make good crops by
law. The government can’t support the
people. The people have get to support the
governm nt. The government is a perpet
ual pauper. I ask this one question—lf
the government can make money why
should it oollect taxes! why not make what
it needs and stop bothering the people!
Still I am glad the farmers are discussing
these questions. They will find out what
the government can and cannot do.
Why couldn’t CoL Ingersoll have stopped
talking when be had told of the troubles,
trials and tribulations of the farmers!
What need was there for him to ask that
question, viz.: “If the government can
make money why should it collect taxes!
why not make what it needs and stop
bothering the people?” And yet the re
cently organized People’s party seems to
think that the government can make money
in unlimited quantities. In the resolutions
it adopted at Cincinnati it asserted that the
government had such a right, and insisted
that it should make money and loan it to
whoever wanted it at 2 per cent, per
annum.
It is true the farmers have a pretty hard
time to make their farms profitable, but it
is equally true that an unlimited issue
of greenbacks would not benefit them in the
long run, and those who tell them other
wise are either-mistaken or intend to mis
lead them.
Dr. Brooks’ Case.
A rather interesting condition of affairs
would be presented if the standing commit
tees of the fifty-two Episcopal dioceses
should vote in favor of confirming the elec
tion of Dr. Phillips Brooks to the office of
Bishop of Massachusetts and a majority of
the bishops should vote against him. But
that is what is going to happen if the opin
ion of Bishop-elect Gailor of this state is
worth anything. But Mr. Gailor will not
have a chance to vote on the question of
his confirmation. If he had he would vote
against him. At least that is a fair infer
ence from what he says.
Thus far sixteen diocesaa have voted for
Dr. Brooks aad six against him. The six
against him are Newark, lowa, Western
New York, Milwaukee, Mississippi and
Chicago. The vote in the Chicago diocese
was a tie, but it will be counted against
him. It is somewhat remarkable that Mis
sissippi voted against him in view of the
fact that Bishop Thompson oft Lat diocese
favors him.
Eleven more dioceses are needed to give
Dr. Brooks a majority of the standing com
mittees, and there is no doubt that he will
get them. ludeed, it is quite certain that
he will get two-thirds of them. Under
such circumstances it would seem as if
the bishops would hesitate a long time be
fore casting the majority vote against him.
It is pretty certain that his rejection would
be the cause of a good deal of dissatisfaction
in the Episcopal ohuroh.
A Bg Undertaking.
A beginning has beeu made toward rapid
transit in New York city. The rapid transit
commission has reported in favor of an
underground railroad. The plan calls for a
four track railway under Broadway and
other streets from South Ferry to the city
limits.
The scheme is an immense one, and will
require a mint of money to carry it out.
Can the money be obtained! It can with
out doubt if it can be demonstrated that
the railway will pay.
Rapid transit has been talked about for a
good while in New York. The present
means of transit are not satisfactory. The
elevated and surface roads don’t meet the
wants of the times.
But Mr. Gould, who owns the elevated
roads, and the owners of the surface roads
will not favor the scheme. If it should be
carried into effect the stocks of their roads
would quickly drop below par. But the
movers in the underground scheme won't
trouble themselves about Mr. Gould’s losses.
What they want is money, and if they can
get all they want the underground railway
will be in operation within a very few years.
With the chance of losing such a tower
of denominational strength as the Union
Theological Seminary staring them in the
face, the Presbyterians assembled at De
troit show a disposition to look upon Dr.
Briggs aud his somewhat progressive views
with decidedly more moderation. Evidently
they had never for a moment contemplated
such a possibility as that the whole faculty
of the seminary might stand by their
fellow and secede from the Presbyterian
church if he were dealt with too harshly.
But Dr. Briggs appears to have bad au
thority for laying before the assembly the
alternative of handling him carefully or
putting him out altogether and losing their
finest educational institution along with
him. Doubtless the assembly will manage
to find in the doctor’s theology features
which render it much less objectionable
than it was at first regarded.
Once more the good Elder Editorial Freak
Shephard ha* broken forth in a freah place.
Thu* far ahead of the opening of the world’s
fair at Chicago he wants to establish a regu
lation for the purpose of closing it on Sun
day*. Apparently the elder is a trifle pro
miscuous and previous in this —or something
of that kind. Quite a deal of hustling will
be neoessary to get that fair securely
opened. After that is done there will then
be plenty of time to work up an earnest and
passionate controversy about the hours at
which it shall be peremptorily closed.

United States Senator Call was yesterday re
elected by the Florida legislature, receiving 51
of tbe 54 votes cast. This exciting and memo

From the Cincinnati Enauirer (Dem.).
On Monday evening the friends of Senator
Call, iu the democratic caucus of the Florida
legislature, succeeded in adjourning that caucus

legislature in joint convention duly re-elected
Senator Call.

acter It must result In lasting injury to the
1 epublican party in that state and in the na
tion, unless tbe mistake is promptly and com
pletely rectified. The result of Gov. Boyd's dis
placement is to place the gubernatorial office in
tbe hands of a republican, though a democrat
was elected by a fair and honest election, and a
clear and decided majority.

He Had Grievances, Too.
“I bare traveled on this road for fifteen
years," said the loquacious man to his New York
Tribune neighbor, "and I never knew a train to
be on time."
The other looked out of the window, making
no answer.
"I remember riding on this road when it took
four hours to go seven miles," the first speaker
added.
No answer.
"It's a scandalous outrage that the public
should be treated in this way."
No answer.
"Some day the people will rise in their might
and put a stop to such things It’s just such in
solence as this that caused the French revolu
tion.” He shook his head savagelv and glared
at a brakeman.
‘‘l'm goins in town to keep an engagement at
3 o'clock. I'll bet you even money that I’m
late."
There was no reply to this offer.
"I’ll bet you twoto one."
The other shook bis head, giving the first in
dication that be was not deaf.
“I'll bet you two to one that I'm half an hour
late.
"No, I won’t bet," said the second man.
Just then the train stopped and the indignant
passenger jerked out his watch.
"Ten minutes late, now!” he said. "Brake
man, what’s the trouble now?”
The brakeman did not know
"If I'm over half an heur late I’ll sue this
road for damages."
The other occupant of the seat smiled sadly.
“Hang it' You're always lace just when 1
don’t want you to be late.”
The brakeman looked at him pityingly.
"I don’t see how people tolerate it.” the angry
man went on. Then turning and looking at his
companion be said fiercely:
“You don't seem to mind this stop much?”
“No.” was the answer.
“Travel on this road much?"
“Yes."
"How long!"
"Kvery day since it we* built."
"And you don’t kick at this thing?"
"No."
“Well, you’re a Job."
"My friend,” said the man of few words, in a
subdued voice, “have you aoy interest in this
road, any money invested in it, any claim
against it?”
"N—no,” was the reply.
"My friend. 1 have had three crops of hay
burned by sparks from locomotives on this road.
I have had three Jersey cows and a horse worth
Si.ooo run down and killed by trains. I was
smashed in a collision once and staid in a hos
pital for five months."
’’Weill" gasped the first speaker.
*T have been a stockholder in this road since
the first train ran over it, and I have never had
a cent of dividends out of it. I wear a cork leg
since the accident. I have seven acres of line
lay land which I never touch. I don't dare
raise any cattle I can't get any insurance on
my life. My dear friend, you ought to thank
your stars that you are so fortunate."
"Stranger," said the other, "I beg your par
don,” and then there was a long silence.
Our Queer American Ways.
He was takiDg a pleasure trip through this
country, says the Chicago Tribune, and was un
used to the ways of its citizens, which may ex
plain his action. He met a friend, showed him
a card, and a.vked him to go with him to the ad
dress on it.
"What's the matter?" a* ked the friend.
“Why. this gent eman.” explaine i the for
eigner, "helped me out of a very embarrassing
position. You see. thioughcarelessness. 1 got
eaught on a street car witu nothing but a draft
in my pocket, ami he paid my fare. I insisted
on having his card, and now I’m going around
to thank him again and pay him the money. ”
' The nickeD"
“Certainly.''
"Don’t do it.”
"But I owe it to blm."
"It makes no difference; he'll be angry."
And he was. He said the stranger must have
thought him mighty hard up or close fisted to
have come chasing after him with a nickel, and
he indignantly refused to take it.
"But, sir,’’ said the stranger, with surprise, “I
owe it to you I don’t wish to have other people
paying my street-car fare. ’’
“Offer him a cigar," whispered the friend.
The foreigner promptly followed instructions.
"Will you join me inasmoke. then?" he asked,
putting away the nickel and taking out a hand
some cigar case.
"Why, thank you,” was the reply, and in a few
moments the three were smoking.
“Ask him to have something," suggested the
friend again.
Again the foreigner followed instructions and
they promptly adjourned to a place where
something could be had. Here each man felt
it Incumbent upon hiur to buy a "round.” Then
the foreigner and his friend started for the
hotel, and the former remarked:
"Queer ways you have here."
"How so?" asked the friend.
“Why, he was too proud to accept five cents
that was due him, bat h® would lake a cigar
and a drink that were not And because he did
me a favor I had to take three drinks that I did
not want and smoke’a cigar that I was saving
for after dinner. If I paid my care faro that
way I’d be drunk and broke all the time.”
One On t'ne Husband.
The seminary where Mrs. Langhnm’s daugh
ter was a pupil one night gave a reception, says
the Youth's Companion, at which that lady
was unable to be present. Her husband, how
ever, was there, and solemnly promised before
he left home to bring back information regard
ing the prettiest dresses worn by the girls.
"Now,” said Mrs. Langbam,when he returned,
having left tue daughter to spend the night
with asc oolmate. "what was the handsomest
dress there? Did Edith look as well as any of
the girls?”
“Oh, yes, yes; better than most," said Mr.
Langham, briskly.
"What did Jenny Sears wear?”
“Well, I should thing Jenny had on a. green
sack, or something, and a kind of blue cape over
her shoulders ”
“Acape and a sack, and at a reception! My
dear, do think again!"
“O, I'm quite sure of it! I noticed her par
ticularly, And there was Belle Smith. She had
a light blue dress, if I remember rightly,
trimmed with purple.”
Mrs. Langham regarded her husband In some
scorn. Then she deliberately set a trap for
him.
“My dear,” said she, gently, “what did Edith
wear?”
“O, Edith ? That black and white check, to lie
sure, that she wears to school.”
•That proves it.” said she. "After this I
shall know exactly how much to depend on
your knowledge ot dress. Edith wore anew
white musliu. Never mind, dear! 1,0 to
sleep. We can’t all be clever in every direc
tion!”
Made Bis Time Count.
A certain physician in a large New England
town had acquired an unenviable reputation
for making his bills as large as possible without
much regard to the state of his patents’ purses,
say6the Youths' Companion There were peo
ple who, furthermore, said that it really seemed
as if there were ‘ ’visits” on his bills which had
never had existence anywhere else.
But he wasaskillful physician, and his tend
ency to overrate his services only served to
amuse some of his patients, who had plenty of
money and were not especially sharp in looking
after it.
“Why,” said one man to another, speaking of
the doctor, “he brought my daughter Jennie up
from her attack of pneumonia, when two other
physicians had said there was no hope for her,
but when she was quite well again he charged
me for three oalls he made to inquire in a
friendly way how she was getting on '
“That seems a little forced,” admitted the
other man, “but it’s nothing compared to an
experience I had with him at the seashore.
• We hapjened to be in bathing at the same
time on * day. and I swam up to him and In
quired for his wife.
" "She's very well,' said tbe doctor.
“ ‘And your daughters?’ I asked.
“ They’re perfectly well, b ,th of them,’re
plied he, rather shortly, I thought. So I said.
I'm delighted to hear it; remember me to them,
and swam away.
“And what do you think I received from him
a wees or two after? An itemized bill—one
item:
” To consultation at sea, $5.”
Although no one ha< ever seen that hill the
story clings to the doctor's name to this day,
after the lapse of many years.

Gov Pixxorxaof Oregon came near not hav

Salem the governor was still at the state bouse,
there haring been some delay in the arrival of
his carriage. But teu minutes later the vehicle
was being furiously driven toward the railway

would have been too late.
An Atchison (Kan ) woman has been in
formed that she cannot live two years. She has,
therefore, resolved on making the most of her
time, and has entered upon a career of merry -
making and gaiety. Another doctor informs
her that if she will saw off on high living and
go slow in her merrymaking she can recover
her former good health. The gay life strikes
her fancy, and she accepts the death warrant
of doctor No. 1.
Medical Director Wales has furnished
Health Officer Townshend of Washington, D.
C , with a report on an examination of the
"blood" oranges recently submitted, in which
he says: "The oranges are naturally stained, no
art.floial coloring of any kind having been used.
The small spot on the side is a fung, sand not a
puncture. It is impossible to stain an orange
by injecting an artificial fluid into the fruit,
either before or after plucking it from the
tree.”
At the drug store of J. M. Sprague in St .
Paul, Minn., there is a thrifty fl< tree four
years old and perhaps five feet high which
came up spontaneously in a tub which con
tained an oleander. The only way in which its
voluntary appearance is accounted for is that
it grew from seeds of figs wmch tad been fed to
a canary whose cage hung over the tub. But
the most perplexing part of the problem rests
on the fact that the figs were preserved. Will
seeds of preserved figs retain their germinating
properties? Sometimes, perhaps.
A curious relic of the war is in possession of
Charles F. Gillet of Cleveland, who values it
highly, says the Union Veteran of that city.
It is the honorable discharge of a faitiful dog,
owned by Mr. Gillet's father, the animal having
served for three years in Battery H, Independ
ent regiment, Pennsylvania Light Artillery.
The discharge reeftes that Jack Puppy (brindle)
is a "watchman ” in Capt. E. H. Nevin's com
pany, that he was enlisted Jan. 81, 1862, for
three years, and was discharged June 10, 1803,
at Camp Barry, District of Columbia, by reason
of expiration of term. He was born, according
to tuis record, at Alexandria, Va , and was 4
years old at the time of the discharge; with a
yellow complexion and brown eves, and was by
occupation when enrolled “a fighter." The dis
charge is duly signed by E. H. Nevins, Jr.,
captain commanding battery, and by I. A. Tor
rence, mustering officer, lieutenant Second
United States artillery.
“A great deal has been said and written,
especially in the way of democratic criticism,"
said Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, while at
the Palace hotel San Francisco, "about Secre
tary Blaine's great wealth, and I think itcan be
safely -aid that the amount reported is greatly
ia excess of that which he actually possesses.
It is true that Mr. Blaine is a wealthy man. but
a million would probably more than cover his
entire estate. I nave been informed by those in
a position to know his circumstances that he
came out of the campaign of 1884 actually im
poverished, anu at one time was compelled to
borrow from his friends. It was soon aftertbat,
however, that be wrote his "Twenty Years of
Congress.’ and it is no secret that he netted
$400,000 on that transaction. This gave him a
sum for investment that enabled him, through
the advice of friends, to make a number of for
tunate deals. His mining speculations in Colo
rado have proved perfect bonanzas, and he has
done well in coal and iron lands in West Vir
ginia Altogether. Mr. Blaine is a shrewd finan
cier, in addition to his other mental qual
ifications, but his wealth has never been more
than one tenth of the amount attributed to him
by bis democratic critics. ”
No two members of congress are more inti
mate than Benton McMiilin of Tennessee and
Amos J. Cummings of New York. But they are
now stronger friends than ever. Last week
something happen' and that brought this about.
The two congressmen went iu to a New York up
town resort and were entertaining a number of
their friends with stories of congressional life.
Finally Mr. McMiilin, In one of his stories men
tioned the name of hisnarivetownin Keutucky.
Mr. Cummings interrupted: "I remember a
family named McMiilin in that town.” "It must
have onen my father," said McMiilin, and in an
swer to the question whether his father sub
scribed to the Christian Worker, he replied in
the affirmative. I can remember the j aper
well,” be said, "and my father used to look
eagerly forward to its arrival. Mr. Cummings
then told bis companion that his father had
been editor and proprietor of that paper.
"When I was a little boy,” he said, "I used to
address the wrappers for the out-of-town sub
scribers. I well remember writing your father’s
name.” "And I remember tearing those wrap
pers for my father,” said Mr. McMiilin, and
there was vigorous handshaking, and in his
high glee over his discovery Mr. McMiilin gave
to Mr. Cummings a hickory stick, once the
property of Andrew Jackson.
Genuinely witty stories too, are rare Wen
dell Phillips declares that there are but twenty
five original witty stories in existence, and that
all the others are founded upon or borrowed
from these. He tells us that the story of the
man who was writing a letter as follows: “My
dear friend, 1 should tell you more if there were
not an impudent fellow looking over my shoul
der and reading every word”—“You lie. sir, I
have not road a word you have written’’—comes
from Egypt, and is 230 years older than the
New Testament. So witu the story of the man
who said, "I would have been a very handsome
fellow if they had not changed me in the cra
dle." “Take the Irishman,” says Mr. Phillips,
"who carried around a brick as a specimen of
the house he had to sell; take the Irishman who
shut his eyes and looked into the glass to see
how lie would look when he was dead; take the
Irishman who bought a crow, alleging that
crows were reported to live two hundred years,
and he was going to set out and try it; take the
Irishman wno met a friend who said to him,
•Why, sir. I heard you were dead.’ ’Well,’ says
the man, T suppose you see I am not.’ ‘O no,’
says he, T would rather believe the man who
told me thaa you any day.' Well, all these are
Greek; a score or more of them of a parallel
character come from Athena”
Abxib Jenner, a 17-year-old girl of New Or
leans, has solved the problem of existence for
herself in a very comfortable way, and her suc
cess is full of suggestions to other women who
are asking themselves the harrow ing question:
What snail I oo to make a living?” Annii
and two others, a crippled girl of 16 and a boy
of 12, were left orphans a few months ago with
nothing but a little cottage near a great rail
road station that they could call their own.
A nie was deeply anxious to keep the children
together, and it was while pondering the
problem the suggestion came. The crippled
sister, whose fingers were very skillful, whose
taste, was good, was set at work with old flower
baskets or fruit baskets ornamenting them with
pretty knots of ribbon or brightening them up
with cheap dyes. Annie filled the baskets with
the daintiest and most attractive of lunches
laid in the folds of a Japanese napkin, and with
a tidy bouquet of flowers in the corner; and the
little brother sold them dow i at the depot, bas
kets and all, to tbe tired and hungrv people on
the tbrougn trains. What a revelation those
lunches were to the traveling public, who had
been accustomed to the rough and unsightly
fare of railroad eating houses. Wny it
was appetizing to look at them. The
baskets sold so rapidly that Willie could
not carry down enougn to supply the demand
First he had an extra boy to help him, then two
hoys, and now he drives a pony and a pretty
little read wagon, and visits save al of the de
pots. Annie has help in her kitchen, and her
sister has help about ornamenting the baskets
and the business is growing so rapidly that they
will soon have to move into larger quarters and
have more help.
