Can’t something be gotten up specially for the gover norT—Marietta Herald. 1 «bsSsh«s—ssesa William C. Whitney, the democratic leader of New York, has retired from active buainev life. He ia very wealth.,, and it ia Kia intention to pass the remainder of bis days in the en joyment of what bis large wealth will give him, and in ths/tssk of bringing back to health in whom his Very existence is chartered. Except for the bowling of the yellow journals of Madrid and Havana, Hob* son would now be a free man, accord ing To» the Philadelphia Record-’’ ad vices. Carver a, Blanco add Linares were all in favor of giving Hobson and his men their freedom through ex change, but the sensational newspa pers would not permit it. IU„ 11..* 1 KJ-JJ-UL An Ohio man has patented a new and ingenious church contribution box that is destined to be a great cess in swelling tbs receipts. It has a bell attachment. When a shirt but* ton or a penny ia dropped in it fails to ring; a trickle makes it ring atightlj ; a quarter produces a respectable ring; a half dollar makes a good loud clat ter, and a dollar brings out the fire department.—Ex. The tax on bank checks ia only two cents, but it is evidently going to be of considerable influence. It will raise quite a neat revenue for the govern ment and it will decrease the number of small checks drawn. A contributor to the New York Herald says that it will lead to tbe payment of small turns in money, instead of checks, and that the demand for money with Which to pay these little sums will be no less than $30,000,000 per day. , Th* lull of Santiago and the lose of CerjYera’e squadron would be quite likely to be followed by a collapse ol some sort. It may not go so far as the uprising in Paris alter Sedan, but. it is not easy to forecast what may happen under such circumstances. There is little doubt that the people of Spain who understand the situation" aro anxious for peace, and when the other? find out how they have been deceived by reports of fictitious victo rise, they are liable to make a good deal of trouble—i Louisville Courier* Journal. Higbee’s pluck and successful fight against the Spanish destroyer Terror the other day ought to commend him to the distinguished consideration of the navy department. In other words, Sigsbee ought to be given a fighting ship; one on which he could “remem ber the Maine”to come purpose. While the St. Paul is a splendid craft of her kind, she is not the right kind to give the naval officer who, of all others, has a score to settle with the dons. Some of the negro volunteers in South Carolina have the right idea with regard to the officers who ■ehall command them. At Spartanburg the other day a negro company elected a white captain and while first and sec ond lieutenants. Members ol the com pany said they were not willing to risk 1 their lives in the hands of incompetent officers, and as there were available no negroes having the necessary military training, they determined to select the beet white officers they eould induce -to command them. Other companies in South Carolina, it is said,will follow ; their example. In North Carolina,the Third regiment has been mustered in with all negro officers, the colonel be ing a young negro politician? It is hardly a question which ' set of black troops will make the better record in the field.—Savannah News. * ' - ■_ Henry Grady to Young Men. Never gamble. Os all the vices that enthrall mon this is the worst, the strongest and moat insidious. Out* side the immorality of it, it Is the poorest business and the poorest fun. No man is safe that plays at all. It is easier never to play. I never knew a man, a gentleman, or a man of busi ness who did not regret the time and money wasted at it. A man who plays poker Is unfit for any other bus iness on earth. Never drink. I love liquor, and love the fellowship involved in drink ing. My safety has been that I never drank at all. It is much easier not to drink at all than to drink a little. If I bad to attribute what I have dme in life to any one thing, I should attrib ute it «o the fact that I am a teeto taler. Ac sure as you are born it is the best and safest way. If you never drink and never gamble and marry early, there is no limit to the useful and distinguished life you may live. You will be the pride of your father’s heart and the joy of your mother’s. I don’t know if there is any happiness od earth having out side of the happioess ol knowing that you have done your duty and tried to do good You try to build up. There are always plenty of others who will do the tearing down that ia necessary* You try to live in the sunshine. Men who stay in the shade always get mil dewed.
