Some smooth young scamp has been per sonating Mr. Dick Quay at Cape May aud beguiling reporters. Really the young man should feel ashamed of himself. Also of Mr. Dick Quay. Trade journals propose to hold forth in Boston iu August. Trade journalism has Bjade astonishing progress in the past few years, and the euinbar of publications has increased wonderfully. That Pennsylvania gi r l who refused to morry a man with whom she had gone to the very altar because he hal a cork leg must have thought he might prove danger* ©us ia case he turned out to be a kicker. At this exciting juncture in the pro ceedings Agriculturist Jerry Rusk pauses in his manipulation of the weather ma chine to remark tnat this is “an unusually a >1 July." Right, Jerry. Perfectly cor ner, Sit down. Investigation among the oldest "inhabi tants” and back number city directors shows that the graceful and glib New Hampshire murderer Alrny never lived here, and probably only named this city as his home by chance hapbazrrd. Pennsylvania has a red-hot religious war at Allentown between two bishops of the Evangelical church. They are doiug big advertising and running a humming cam paign. Itisaquestion of orthodoxy,as usual. Orthodox religion appears to be growing a trifle aggressive. Peculiar charges are sometimes preferred against culprits. But the strangest lately was that of stealing fireworks. On that charge a New York countryman was recently arrested. It sounds improbable. Now, why should a mau steal fireworks? Why, he’ll get all ho wauts when he dies. Quite a number of the New York Com mercial Advertiser people were formerly on the World. Apparently they all left with no good will toward the latter. They never lose a fair chanca to take a whack at the Pulitzer publication. There is little love lost between the metropolitan newspapers. Brazil is going through pretty much the same experience that the southern states did with their servants just after they were manumitted. They were not partial to hard work at best. But they will finally come to realize that it is a question of work or starve, and then they will go to work again. The miners at Briceville, Tenn., dealt with the soldier boys very gently. They simply put them on the cars and sect them home. Gov. Buchanan went to war with too small an army. He didn’t understand the situation. The soldier boys don’t lack courage, but they know when the odds are against them. This morning a vast assemblage of ▼eterans of the late war will oongregate at the beautiful Virginia valley town of Lexington to pay a merited tribute to the noble memory of Stonewall Jackson by un veiling a heroic statue in Jbronze above his last resting place. It will probably be a very distinguished gathering. Congressman Tom Watson seems to be rapidly working his way toward private life. Some of his stanchest former friends have turned away from him since he enun ciated his very peculiar political views, and the ohances are that his district will pick out another man to do its talking in eougress for the next term. The State and the Soldiery. The proposition pending in the legislature j to divert the £25,000 appropriated to mili tary purposes for 1802 to the cause of educa tion cannot possibly meet the approval of a majority of the people of the state. It is a movement backward, not forward. It is true that the school fund is not as large as ■ it sh.uid be or ns large as the people would like to have it, bi,t the public school system, although of the highest importance, is not the only institution that is necessary for the promotion of the best interests of the state. And there is a suspicion tnat the proposition to turn the military appropriate n over to the sohool’fun.i gr er ,<ut of hostility to the vo.uu'eer forces iather than to in crease the efficiency > f the public schools. The mi.itarT ap; r, . r.ation, although it is a great assistance to the military, is so small that it w vjid be scarcely a u ;. -AI .- addi tion to the school fund. Bu: a proper military sv*:e-■ is. in a large measure. an educati.'nal system.

Aud sues ar. emergency is likely to arise at any time. livery once in a while someone of the military companies is called upon to quell a disturbance whioh has got beyond the control of tho local authorities. And is not every cull responded to promptly aud willingly? Are not the people conscious of a feeling of greater security because of tho existence of the volunteer forces? What folly would it be then for the legis lature to virtually destroy the military spirit of these forces by saying by its action that the state has no use for them and fails to see that they serve any useful purpose. It can hardly be possible that the legisla ture will pursue so unwise a course. About every other state ia lending its volunteer forces a helping hand—is encouraging them in every possible way. Shall Georgia, the empire state of the south, take the other course —the backward course? The Unvei lng of Jeckson’s Statue. This will be an eveutful day in Lexings ton, Va. A statue of Gen. ‘‘Stonewall’’ Jackson will be unveiled. It is of heroic size aud is by Edward V. Valentine of Richmond, Va. Those who have seen it speak of it as a very impressive memorial —one worthy of Jaokson. The likeness is thought by those who knew J aekson well to be excellent, and the modeling and details add to the sculptors’ reputation. The money for the statue was collected by the Jackson Monument Association. The association was formed immediately after the Lee Monument Association had finished tho work of erecting a monument to the memory of Gen. Lee. There will be an inuneuse gathering in Lexington to-day. Thousands of Jackson’s veterans will be there and also thousands of other confederate veterans. In the hearts of all there will be a feeling of profound re spect for the memory of “Stonewall” Jack sou. lie was a great man aud a good one. In some respects ho was the greatest soldier the civil war produced. His fame will be more more enduring thau his monument. It seems to grow with time. That is bocause it is genuiue. Fai’roads and Taxes. It is not always convenient for the rails roads to pay their tuxes the day the taxes are due. Tho legislature of the state thought they ought to pay them whether it was convenient to do so or nor. It imposed a penalty of s.'>oo for a failure to pay ou Oct. lof each year. It did this in 1880. The supreme court decided the other day that this aot of t le legislature is umousti tutlonal. According to this decision rail roads cannot be forced to pav their taxes any sooner than other taxpayers, and pen alties fqr failure to pay, other than those imposed upon other taxpayers, eauuot be imposed upon them. This is a point gained for tho railroads. There is no reason why they should be dealt with more harshly than other taxpayers. They should be assessed upon the same basis as other | roperty, but there should be no discrimination either for or agaiust them. There is too great a disposition to treat railroads as if they wero inimical to the public interests. This tax penalty that has just been declared unconsdiutional is an in stance of this disposition. The fact is they are the great factors of modern prosperity. Tho world couldn’t get along without them. It is true, probably, that they will take all they can get. They should be permitted to take only what is right,'and a restraining power is therefore necessary. But it doesn’t follow that they should be dealt with un justly. It is a mistake to enact laws ag linst them as if they were enemies. Let them be dealt with from the high plane of justice, and to deal with them in that wav requires conscientious aud careful study on the part of those who make laws and regulations for ! their control. Guessing for prises and newspaper ballot ing schemes are played out. They have been worked to death. Since everybody has had a whack at them, from clergymen to policemen aud bartenders, the pub lications that do not sell exc >pt as the wrapping paper for some wily scheme might work up summer vacations or popu lar testimonials for the most eminent and versatile crook or the mos absurd chappie, otherwise known as turkey-legs, because of their propensity for roosting on one foot as they gaze upon passers-by. Mauy good specimens of the bird may daily be seen hanging about the corner saloons in this city. Then there is the nimble aud piquant ballet dancer and the hustling though homely stableman who have nut yet received proper recognition. They are about tho only fraternities that have teen slighted. Great enthusiasm might be aroused over the popularity of the agile kicker of the ballet. Ballots should simply roll ia on that proposition. Finally that Miunesota snoozer who has beeu asleep for the past sixteen years is said to be getting about. Very likely be is a hotel waiter who was sent after desert. But won’t he have trouble finding bis collar but ton, though? THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1801. A Confederate Veterans' Home. It is expected that the bill providing for tfce acceptance by the state of the confed erate home grounds and buildings at At lanta will be acted upon to-day by the 1 finance committee. The committee has had it under consideration for quite a long { time. It is understood, of course, that the f state will have to support the home if it ac j cepts the property. The fact that it isdifll ! cult to estimate closely the cost of main taining it has prevented probably an earlier re|Hirt. it is an easy matter, of course, to say that it will cost £B,OOO or |IO.U?Oa year, but the probabilities are that it will cost a great deal more. But it will not be denied that the state ought to provide a home for disabled veter ans who have no means of support. Ad mitting this, the question which presents it self is whether the home that is offered as a gift can be maintained at a cost no greater than the cost of securing and maintaining a home in another part of the state, If this question is determined in favor of the At lanta home the pending bill should be acted upon favoraDly. The state cannot maintain a home with out considerable expense, and if the reve nues are nut sufficient to meet the expense the revenues saould bo increased. The peo ple are able to take care of the disabled vet erans, aud there is no doubt that they are williug to do it. t are should be taken, of course, that the veterans of no particular portion of the state should be favored over tho3e of other portions. The capacity of the home is limited, and it is not improbable that the veterans of a few counties would exhaust its present accommodations, or the accommodations the state would likely provide withiu the next few years. As tho home will have to be maintained bv a gen eral tax, each county should be on an equal footing with every other county with re spect to the admission of veterans. a Worn Out Topic. There is, of course, a good deal of interest felt iu the condition of Mr. Blame’s health, particularly among republicans, but have not the continued references of the press to it become rather tiresome? For weeks the New York papers have beeu printing dis patches from Bar Harbor about it daily, and last Sunday the World devoted nearly a page to it. And tho country is not yet satisfied whether Mr. Blaine is a very sick man or not. Some of the dispatches contain the state ment that the glow of health is upon his cheeks, and that within a few weeks he will bo at his desk in the state department. Others assert that he will never again be able to attend to official duties. The truth is no doubt that Mr. Blaina has been quite a sick man, but is now so nearly well that he could attend to the duties of his office without fear of a relapse if his presence at Washington were abso lutely necessary. And a few lines from an authoritative source, stating just what Mr. Blaine’s physical condition is, would give better satisfaction to the public than all the uoluiuds of stuff about It that are non being published. The papers whioh are devoting so much attention to Mr. Blaine’s health, however, have other objects than the keeping of the public correctly informed about Mr. Blaine’s health. Home are trying to bring him forward as the republican candidate for President, while others are trying to make it appear that he is so near being a dead man that it would be folly to think of him as a presidential candidate. But the efforts of these papers for and against Mr. Blaine will neither help nor hurt his prospects for becoming the presi dential candidate of his party. Before tho time for the meeting of tho national repub lican convention the truth about Mr. Blaine’s health will be known to about everybody who is at all interested in it. Tho discussion that is now goiug on about it. therefore, is only so much time and newspaper spacs wasted. Legislator Charles J. Gregory of Kansas gives the Kansas third party agitators a pretty hard character. As 'he is a member of the state legislature from an agricultural district ho ought to know whereof he speaks. Not only does he desoribe thorn as ignorant, but he adds that “they are scoundrels.” Further more he says that they are not fanners and “do not represent the farming element as the people at large believe.” Ac cording to Mr. Gregory they are made up largely of “hotel keepers, ex-office holders, aud, in mauy instances, gamblers.’’ That sounds rough. Coutiuuing, the gentleman states that “Jerry Simpson is uota farmer” and “never worked on a farm a day in his life.” But he “was marshal of Dodge City for a number of years.” It is well known as one of the toug sest places in the west. Btdl Jerry didn’t risk much. Instend, “his principal business was to send out his depu ties to be killed or shot to pieces by cow boys.” Then the Kansau goes ahead to size up Mrs. Lease, whom ho positively de clares is “not a farmer s wife and has not lived on a farm for at least ten years,” and the legislator has reason to think that “she do isn’t even sympathize with the needs of the farmers. She is simply an enthusiastic fr -e su!fragiat, and came out for the third party because she saw an opportunity to exploit her views.” By all meaDS adopt Legislator Ryal’s sug gestion and cordially invite the whole leg islature to come down and inspect the city water front. Not that the gentlemen com p 'sing that body know anything in par ticular about water fronts in a general way, but they are accustomed to handle votes which might be used to the advantage of this corner of the state and it might be a gratification to them to come and see it for themselves. Possibly such a view of the situation might convince them that this part of the state needs some attention and needs it badly. At alt events we should be glad to gee the gentlemen and show them some thing of life. Another street fight between two roughs is going the rounds of the eastern press under the gui9e of “a duel” simply because it ohauoed to occur in Alabama. Absurd - ity is added to it by the fact that one com batant knocked the other down with a club while his opponent used a heavy stone. If that’s what the horrified editors of peaceful proclivities call a duel it is not surprising that they regard it as "a relio of barbarism and a very represensible practice.” Advanced ideas of journalism as formu lated by young Mr. Green of Chicago have not taken possession of the Times yet for the very good reason that Mr. Green has not put up the necessary cash. Possibly his sagacious financiering mother, whom all the world knows as Banker Hetty Green, has advised him not to change the signs of the Tones. _ PE P SON A L. Ex-Gov.

I cover the country pretty thoroughly every year—journey from New York to the Pacific coast, and from Duluth to Gal veston -without a thought that the train may run off the track or collide with another, and yet, for a week pr.or to the recent frightful accident at Ravenna, 0.. whereby there was such a terrible loss of life, 1 was as nervous and full of vague, undefined apprehension as I could be. I was working along the line of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad down in Ohio during that time, and several times re marked to iny chum: ‘Tom, something's going to happen: there’s going to be ati acci dent, and I am booked to be in it, or just escape it." "Tom, who is an unsentimental fellow, would gruffly respond, ‘O, pshaw, you’re ratified; go and get a drink / I insisted that the prescrip tion would do me no good, and the day of the accident Torn and I started for the ill-fated train that bore so many poor mortals to their fate at Ravenna. At the station a telegram was handed me requesting that I go to Cleveland and there meet a member of the firm I repre sent. I said good by to Tom. turned back and in two hours ; ater was on my way to Cleveland. The next morning 1, of course, read the full particulars of the accident at Ravenna, and un til late in the afternoon supposed that my chum was among the killed. Luckily, he escaped without in jury, and when he next saw me two or three days later, the first words he uttered were: ‘lf you ever have another presentiment or foreboding of approaching disaster, George, I'll listen to you, and anchor myself in some hotel until the storm blows over. I laughed at you the other day. but wished I hadn't the minute I realized the predicament we were iu at Ravenna.' ” Pat Was the Winner. Some time ago while I was trading in a village store, says a writer in Our Dumb Animals , one of the clerks came to the junior partner, who was wailing on r. e. and said: "Please step to the desk. Pat Flynn wants to sett.e his bid, ami wants a receipt." "Why, what does he wunt or a receipt?" he said; “we never give one. Simply cross his ac count off the book; that is receipt enough." "So I tcld him," answered the clerk, "but he is not satisfied. You had better see him." So the proprietor stepped to the cesk, and, after greeting Pat with "Good morning," said: "You want to settle your bill, do you?" Pat replied in the affirmative. "Well," said the merchaut. "there is no need of my giving you a rec ipt. See: 1 will cross your account off the book, " an l suiting the ac tion to the word, (irew his pencil diagonally across the account. “That is as good as a re ceipt. " "And do ye mane that that settles it?" ex claimed Pat. “That settles it." said the merchant. "And ye're shore ye 11 never be afther askin’ me fur it again?" “We'll never ask you for it again," said the merchant decidedly. * Faith, thin," said Tat, "I’ll he afther kaj in' me money in me pocket, for 1 haven’t paid it," The merchant'B face flushed angrily as he ro tor ted: "O, wed, I can rub that out!" "Faith, now, and I thought that same," said Pat. It is needless to add that Pat got his receipt. Tho Colonel Was Excused The confederate sol Jier had his fun, with his short rations and pay in Inflated currency, says the Chattanooga Times, and the "yank’’ was not always the subject. The writer of "Four Years in Rebel Capitals." graphically illustrates the point: Refreshed inwardly and outwardly, the men would march down the street, answering the waving handkerchiefs at every window with wold cheers. Nor did th *y spare any amount of chaff to those luckless stay-at-homes en countered on the streets. "Come out'r that black coat!" “I know ye’re a eonserip’! Don’t you want to ro for a sojer?" "Yere’s yer chance to git yer subtertootl" These and similar shouts, leveled at the head of some unlucky wight, brought roars of laugh ter from the soldiers and from tho victim’s un sympathetic friends. At one house a pale, boyish-looking youth was noted at a window with a lady. Both ener getically waved handkerchiefs, and the men answered with a yell; but the opportunity was too good to lose. "Come right along, sonny!" was the cry. "The lady’ll spare yor: Here’s a little muskit fur ye!" "All right, boys!" cheerily responded the youth, rising from his sent. “Have you got a leg for me, too?" and (’ol. F struck the short est of stumps on the window seat. With one impulse the battalion halted, faced to the window and came to "present," as their cheers rati led the windows of that block. That chord had been touched by which tho roughest soldier is ever moved. What He Wanted. The eccentricities of great men are not to be interfered with, says the Saturday Summary, especially when tho great men are in bad humor. Anew story of Gen. Jackson relates that, while on one of his journeys to Tennessee abotd the time of the nullification excitement, he arrived at a Virginia village In a very im patient state of mind, both witu public affairs and with the state of the roads. The President was entertained as a guest at the house of a lady in tbe village, ami although he tried to bo polite, tho state of vexation which he wag in affected hi:n visibly. His hostess, at the supper table, wag much alarmed to see trie general swallowing wall great rapidity a cup of almost boiling-hot tea. “Wait, wait, general:" exclaimed the lady. "Let us give you some cold water." “No, I thank you, rra’am," raid the general, con tinuing to drink “But I don't see how you can drink that boiling-hot. tea without scalding yourself." "No wonder you can’t ma'am," said Jackson; "I am scalding myself/' "But, sir, why do you —" "Good gracious, ma’am!’' exclaimed the general; "don't you see that I want to scald myself?" Th* lady refrained from making any further suggestions as to her distinguished guest's com fort. A Crusty Eachelor on Woman. Albert E. Hunt in Minneapolis Tribune. She could sing like any siren, and write poetry like Byron, She could tell you all the mysteries of as tronomic lore. She had memorized Euripides, had been to the antipodes, And could talk so well about it that you'd ne'er think her a bore. She was young and she was pretty, she was stvlish and quite witty. And her family tree was planted when the Druids lived and fought; She was rich as rich as Croesus—but not fickle or capricious. And in all her life she never did a thing she hadn't ought. She did not, like other women, practice wiles men thought inhuman, And her culinary powers were unlimited, I ween; While I live I shan't forget her—no one could whoe'er had m*t her, ' But, alas’l only made her sweet acquaint ance in a dream.

Report comes from (’anada that Dr. Selwyn of! the dominion geological survey has bit upon anew insulating material in the shape of petro leum saturated sand, of which immeasurable quantities exist in the Athabasca district. Nikola Tesla, the rising genius in electrical work, showed at Columbia College, New York, a few days ago. before a brilliant assemblage of the electrical engineering talent of the country, that with the “high frequencies’’ of alternating current he is now using, glass and rubber, which are col sidered tho best insulators, are in reality inferior to others not regarded, such as oil and wax. William Gable, who died suddenly last Sat urday while retiring from a Reading (Pa.) base ball game, was in reality choked to death by peanuts. He had eaten a large quantity while witnessing the game. On the road home he stumbled over an obstruction and fell wry vio lently to tho ground. The shock of the fall brought some of the’eoateats of his stomach into his throat, and some of the undigested peanuts entered his windpipe, shutting off his breath so effectually that he died after terrible sir jggles in a few minutes. The case has ex cited a great deal of atteution among Pennsyl vania physicians. While excavating on a farm near Temple Hill, New York, a few days since, L. L. Frcst found a pair of shears that were of sufficient antique design to warrant the opinion that thay were used during the encampment of 1783 by revolutionary soldiers. William T. Talmage, assistant superintendent at Washington head quarters, while cutting out a carriage drive to the tower of victory .Monday, unearthed the copper coin of George ll.’s reign, bearing date 174 TANARUS, which was three years before the head quarti rs property was sold to the Hasbroucks. from whose family the state purchased it. The coin is in an excellent state of preservation. Both discoveries will be aided to the antiqui ties at headquarters. A tigress in the Nagpur district has a fond ness for the employes of the Bengal-Nagpur railway, frequents a tract of country only about nine square miles in area, and is possessed of extraordinary cunning and sagacity. This year up to April she nas killed seven people, besides wounding others. She lives iu a rocky aud pre cipitous spur, in which there is a heavy bamboo and other jungle. Several springs of water rise at tjo foot of the scarps, and there is a cave which shows many signs of b ?ing used by her an i her lumiiy. A big stone just outside of the entrance is scored deep and long with many scratches of her claws. In February last, in broad daylight, she carried off one of a gang of P‘ rinauent way men from under the eyes of his companions. Sue had been shot at many times and ner cubs killed, but she got off scratchless. "Talk about the chance a man has against roulette," said an old-time sport to tho Cincin nati En /uner the otnorday, “I once had charge of a wheel in the swellest game ever run in this town.

John Dos owns a farm in New York on the bank of tho Niagara river, and he makes an honest penny uow and then pasturing cows for his neighbor*. Richard Roe has also a license from him to hitch bis row boat on the bank, with incidental right of ingross and egress through tho pasture. About a week ago Richard lost his chain and improvised a rope of hay with which to moor his boat. Now, Eben i ezer Dick’s cow, pastured in the lot aforesaid, is fond of hay, and smelling the fragrance of Ihe exit mp.To r pe. she waded into the river, climbed into the boat, chewed up the rope and floated down the stream over the falls, where sbo met an untimely death. The bmt was also pulverized en route to Queenstown. Has Eb tnezer Died any right of action for the loss of his cow ? If he has. of whom can he re cover? Has Richard .;<se any remedy for the loss of his*' boat, and if so, against whom ? Will some on© please, answer. Now the following story may not be new. It is very probable that it is not, for it is a yankee story about a shrewd, regular "down east" yankee. And every one knows that the genuine yankee shrewdness was bo. ne in the first generation of such yankees, says the New York Tribune, was practised by them, and has bean handed down by them to their sons, grandsons, and even the third and fourth generations, etc. But whether this triok is original or not—that has nothing 10 do with it, for in this case it illustrates the futility of trying to get the best of a yankee. This par ticular yankee owns a farm, and he hired two new men to mow one of his Lay fields. As be could not watch them at all, he resolved to arrange affairs so that instead of talking and doing no work the two men would keep away from each other Here is the prescription: Farmer says to one man- "This other fellow is deaf as a post: can’t talk either; dumb as an oyster. But he’s a good man on a hay field. Only don’t worry him. He s sensi tive al> uit his deafness and dumbness, and will get madder than a nornet if you talk to him. Just let him alone and he'll show you a thing or two about mowing hay." Then he went to the other man and gave him the same story. The trwo farm hands wont out and worked like Tro jans all day. Neither dared speak to the other an-1 each tiled to outstrip the other. The yan kee farmer smiled benignly when the men quit work, and o n uld not be made to understand tnat he ought to be ashamed of his lie. He was a yaukee you see. “You don’t hear much about them, but there are cauuibals iu Australia to-day," said Dr. F. D. C’lum to a Kansas City Times reporter. "Strange? Well, not so very when you take into consideration tne character of the coun try. The blacks or aborigines still wear breech clouts, and when yet a short distance from civilization you will flna that the majority of them wear no appaiel of any description. The Australian black bears about the same relation to that country that the American savage does to this When you get away from the cities into the brush you will find plenty of them who would kill you, and there is nothing they would relish better than to make a barbecue out of you, provided that there was no danger of beiug caught.
