A very little familiarity with the poor districts of any city is sufficient to show how primitive and frontierliko are the neighborly relations, say» Jane Addams in The Atlantic. Tim fact that the economic condition of all alike is on a most precarious level makes the ready outflow of sympathy and material as sistance the most natural thing in the world. There are numberless instances of heroic self sacrifice quite unknown in the circles where greater economic advantages make that kind of intimate knowledge of one’s neighbors impawn- I ble. An Irish family, in which the man I has lost his place and the woman is struggling to eke out the scanty sav ings by day work, will take in a widow . and her five children who have been turned into the street without a mo ment’s reflection upon the physical dis comforts involved. The most maligned landlady is usually ready to lend a scut tlefnl of coal to a suffering tenant or to share her supper. A woman for whom the writer had long tried in vain to find work failed to appear at the appointed time when a job turned up at last. Upon investiga tion it transpired that a neighbor fur ther down the street was taken ill; that the children ran for the family friend, who went, of course, saying simply, when reasons for her nonappearance were demanded, “It broke me heart to leave the place, but what could I do?” A \ lew of Edmund*. George F. Edmunds had a high rupu tation in the country as an able lawyer and a faithful and independent senator. He had unquestionably rendered great public service in the senate. If elected, I believe he would have administered the presidency on the principles which a largo majority of the people of Massa chnssets held. Ho was an excellent de bater. He was very fond of criticising and objecting to what was proposed by other men. He seemed never so happy ns when in opposition to the majority of his associates. But he possessed what persons of t hat temper commonly lack— great capacity for constructive states manship. Any measure of which ho win the author would bo likely to ac ' complish its purpose and to stand fire. David Davis, who was president pro i tempore of the senate, used to say he i jxlvvav" compel Edmunds to vote in the negative on a question by put ting the question in the old Now Eng land fashion. “Contrary minded will say no,” for Edmunds was always con trary minded. I once told him. borrow ing a saying of an Englishman, that if George Edmunds were the only man in the world George would quarrel with Edmunds.—Senator George F. Hoar, in Scribner's.

DONE The Evening Call Office. LAND POOR. A Schema to Give Evary Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. Mi:. Fditok : Some year ago I look an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and 1 have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county r . There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recentlj’ built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : 1 will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fair chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their money, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to maiket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best o’ace I know of and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annuai payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low, The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ol one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and are as good as gold. I am not particularly wedded to this plan of getting rid of my lands, but only sugge.-t the idea —an\ better plan would be tlomkfullv substituted. S. B.
