Virginia may be the maker of presi
dent., but Kansas must be regarded as
the mother of political parties.
When you hear a man say every man
baa hi. price, you can put It down that
he can be bought up very cheap.
Tna demand for .tore rooms in Amer-
icua i. increasing every day, and the
town is growing regardless of financial
oppression.
Tan refreshing rains of the past few
days have helped the complexion of veg
etation, and the crops arc flourishing in
consequence.
High license in Pennsylvania is high
license indeed. The fee for retailers in
the cities of the first class has just been
raised from $300 to $2,000.
One great consolation about this
weather is that it wilts the “masher's’
collar and drives him in out of the sun
There is some good in everything.
“What is so rare as a day In June,”
fails flat just now. None of the Juno
days so far are rare. They are well
done—thoroughly cooked in a very hot
oven.
Tuk thermometer was near a hundred
yeaterday, and remarkable to relate the
murder of no “is-lt-hot-enough-for-you”
fiend has yet been reported at this
office.
Sir John McDonald did not like the
attitude of the Grand Trunk railroad

TOO MI CH CONFIDENCE.
It has gotten to be such a common oc
currence for young girls to bo entrapped
Into a matrimonial alliapce which brings
them only shame and mortification, that
something should he done to save them
from the embarrassing position Into
which so many have fallen of late. The
punishment for the crime is only a short
terra In tlio penitentiary, and too often
the scoundrel who has blighted the
whole life of an innocent girl is IctolT
witli a light sentence and is soon ready
to repeat his crime. If the punishment
was dealt out in large doses it would de
ter a great many from venturing into a
second matrimonial alliance when thero
is already one in existence.
The girls, too, could often protect
themselves by a little investigation into
tlie past history of the man who comes
to them a perfect stranger, and seeks to
inveigle them into an alliance which he
knows is illegal. An honest man would
readily give references where his past
history could be obtained and It would
not emharass him at all for the girl to
desire to know something of liim before
trusting her fnture happiness Into his
keeping, and any ono who would refuse
to give the necessary references should
be shunned as a viper.
The case of Miss Leila Morton, a pure
and innocent country girl of our neigh
boring county, Stewart, is one in which
a little Investigation would have de
veloped facta which would have saved
The favorite color of the summer girl

Kino Kalakea’s personal effects
brought only $2,300 at'the sale recently.
The interest on this will hardly enable
Mrs. Kalakna to cut much of a dasli in
Hawaiian society.
A stock company lias been formed in
Atlanta with $28,000 already subscribed

her from her present mortifying post
tlon. She met Spencer Owen and mar
ried him without knowing anything con
cerniug Ills past history and only the
next day after the marriage the facta of
his previous marriage and the existence
of his wife and six children in a county
no further off than Putnam, came to
light, and the sheriff was soon on his
track as a bigamist. These facts could
have been developed the day previous
as easily as the day after the marriage,
but no attempt was made until it was
too late to save the girl from her present
unfortunate position.
Owens is now behind the bars in the
umpkin jail, and his victim Is in An
niston, Ala., where she will probably re

circumstances.
Girls place too mneli confidence in

girl should be a warning to others.

Tin- great noise being matlo in En

of Tranby Croft" suggests to tlio pro
vincial American mind, where sonic
crude Ideas of morality stiS exist, that
all this row is In the nature of honor

It would he a great scandal over in

no great difference would be made be
tween tboso who cheated and tlioso who
played a straight game. The public
wouldn’t inquire Into any minor details
of that kind; the whole party would suf
fer disgrace.
Of course it is understood hero that
a great many men who stand well social

Hut the “scandal at Tranby-Croft” has
no reference to the faot that the high-
toned and titled company who were as
sembled In that country seat, spent tlieir
time In gambling, hut that one of the
party was canght cboating.

“Dear Bill 2"
To our backwoodsy and plebeian view
this looks very much like the same sort
of principle that makes the train robber
“tote square with his pals."
But no aueh view seems to prevail in
England. The only disgrace thought of
over there attaches to tho man who
cheated.

John L. Sullivan is quoted as sayiog
“Actin'* dead easy. All a feller wants

bnt when dere’s any scrappin' to be

As Sullivan has been in both the acting

Atlanta, Georgia, is the most unique
spot on the universe. She hadn't got
through with Brother Culpepper before
the took up the women. One branch
of that blessed community says the
women shall not preach, while the other
says tboy shall, if they want to, and it’s
nobody's business to stop them. Brother
Hawthorne has flopped, and now affirms
that so long as he Is pastor of the First
Baptist, no female propagandist shall
desecrate his pulpit. Some forty or fifty
of his thousand members feel as he does
and they passed a resolution. Such lack
of gallantry has aroused tho dander of
Atlanta's Christian Tcmperanco Union,
causing these dear sisters to take a hand
in making resolutions and to pat Brother
Abbott on the hack. Bo qniot, neigh,

Prof. Sualer, of Howard university,
has made a discovery iu a Tennessee
cave which brings up a good deal of talk
about a pre-historlc race. It Is a petri
fied body of a man, which it is stated,
was discovered a few days since, hut the
whole story sounds like a fake, and
thoughtful people are inclined to sue

St
COMMENCEMENT.
This word refers exclusively to tho
graduating class, as it Is tbe commence
ment of their practical life. Their eman
cipation from school drudgery and pro
fessors begins when tlieir piploma is
handed them.
If a graduate lias done his duty, ho
lias had but little leisure for reading,
the little in which ho has indulged
should have boen suggested by his
studies. He should now bare a trained
mind, and can begin to read with profit.
Happy Is he who can now find his
proper work to do under tbe sun, and
will joyously begin to toil atfe. There
is no other blessedness but this. What
ever good may bo his portion lieic can
be obtained on no other terms.
Go to work, says n philosopher, and
cease prating about thy happiness.' God
did not make thee to be happy, but to
do thy work and thy duty. This is as if
It liad been inspired.
One may sail down the Rhine, and
scale the Alps; visit the land of the mid
night sun, and the Holy Land; use the
world as one does an orange, only to
squeeze the juice out of it, and throw
the rind away, and yet accomplish noth
ing, and die miserably at lost of inani
tlon.
The fault with most of us, perhaps, In
choosing our life-work is, that we pro
pose a life of ease, and desire, as has
been said, to live plausibly in the half,
rather than heroically in the whole.
After deep communion with one's
own soul, on this business of one's life-
work, about which to make a mistake is
fatal, one should not fall to ask tbe sit
prerae guidance of the Infinite One who
surely is as much interested in the de
cision, as lio who humbly bends the
knee before Him; and lifts towards the
Heavens, his supplicatory hands.
The retrospect of a life thus begun,
caDuot but he crowded with bright and
cheering memories of what has exalted
and enabled the soul, and prepared It for
sublimer achievements In the Infinite
hereafter.

Tho Boston Herald of recent date con
tained a slgniftcent editorial in regard to
the shipment of western product) to New
England port* via Newport News and
Savannah.
The Herald expects from this move
ment a great benefit to New England in
reduced freight rates, 500 <vr moro miles
being saved iu railroad transporta
tion.
This Is very encouraging to the south
ern ports and quite prophetic of south
ern progress. Tho gulf ports aro still
nearer to the great trans-Mississippi
country than those mentioned iu the
Herald's article and it is*probable that
they will bo tlio futuro exporting place
for western produce. *
With all these advantages in favor of
southern ports, why must our cotton
etc.,.be shipped to New York? And
why must western grain shipped via
southern ports go to New York for final
export?
Thero is a great future for some south
ern seaport town.
