THE negroes have asked congress for a
billion dollars to colonize their race.
“Too much. :
There is some activity in the comet
crop. Professor Brooks, of Rochester,
has discovered nineteen.
Well, ] ah—perhaps—the campaign
committee jwill—er—call on Van Alen
again, and—er see Roosevelt on the
way.
A bill has been introduced in the
Georgia legislature making lunacy a
ground for divorce. This is evidently
intended as a pointer for Chicago. |
P. C. Oglesby, a Georgia newspaper
man, is in durance vile in a Havanna
prison, where he was unjustly cast. It
is to be hoped that Uncle Sam will lose
no time in yanking him out of that jail.
The statesman out of a job, the one ]
who announced that honesty in politics
is an irridescent dream, in fact, ox-Seua—i
tor Ingalls of Kansas, is being quoted
by the Atlanta Consitution as authority
on southern interesia
President Cleveland is amusiag him
salf mince the joongressional storm by
rolling baby Ether's carriage at his
ocountry home near Washington. BeA{
cause he is president does nos slgnify}
that he does jnot enjoy shese domestic
pleasures the same as other folks. i
There is a disposition on the part of
the legislature to give the state the Kan
garoo ballot. Cuff would have a very
poor chanoe for a while, at least, but the
intelligent voterfoould express his choice
and the world ;be none the wiser. The
poople are ready for the question.
The Atlanta Journal is on the right
line in the following: We hope the leg-l
islature will bear in mind the fact that ‘
there are nearly four hundred children
in the Georgia penitentiary. The Geor- {
gia penitentiary is a pretty tough place
for hardened ecriminals. What chance
has a child in such a place and among
such eompanions?
A printer on a Georgia weekly recent
ly, in making up the forms, got a mar
riage and a grocer's notioe mixed
up s> asto read as follows: “‘John
Smith and Ida Onay were united in the
holy bonds of sour kreut, wkich will be
sold by the quart or barrel. Mr. Smith
is an esteemed codfish at 10 cents, while
the ;bride has many hams at a shilling a
pound.”
A popular clubman is now being sued
in the New York courts for divorce by
his unhappy wife, who alleges cruel
treatment as a reason why her petition
should be granted. As a sample of this
she alleges that her husband on one oc
casion came home one meorning at four
o’clock after having played poker at his
club all night, and although he owned
up to having won $4,000, he only gave
her $lO of it. Let the decree be pro
mulgated.
Frank Moore, a noted burglar, has
been sentenced in St. Louis to ninety
nine years in the penitentiary. This is
the first time that a conviction has been
had in St. Louis under what is known as
%he habitual criminal act, an old Missou
ri statute which had practically been
forgotten. The act provides that any
mn who has once before been convisted
for a crime, upona second arrest be in
dicted ar a habitual criminal and, if con
victed, sentenced to not less than ten
years or more than ninety-nine,
It wasn’t so much to save the amount
of nioney as to avoid establishing a prec
edent that the Georgia legislature used
up $BOO worth of time in killing a $lOO
pension proposed for a one-legged Con
federate veteran. Our esteemed con
temporary, the general assembly, is
more afraid of a precedent than it is of
an unc nstitutionality, and the latter is
the bugbear of legislation, }
A Simple Matter of Justice.
The policy of the administration with
reference to Hawaii, as outlined in Sec
retary Gresham’s report 10 I'resident
Cleveland, which was made public a few
days ago, has led to a good deal of cant
about - *‘President Cleveland restoring
monarchy.”
President Cleveland, says the Albany
Herald, a 8 chiet executive of the United
=State¢ cannot do less than restore Queen
Lilioukalani, since it has been c early
?established that she was deposed by
fraud, and the forces of this goverament
‘were used by the alien revolutionists to
intimidate her into submission. “As a
fair aod honess execulive, President
Cleveland is in duty bound to right the
wrong that has been done, especially
when the queen of the island surrender
od more to the United States forces than
to the revolutionists, and did so under
protest, accompanying that protest with
an appeal to the justice of this govern
ment. Investigation seems to have
clearly established the fact that the
queen was the victim of a fraudulent de
mand made by aliens and interested
speculators and American adventurars,
and that, thrbugh the resident American
minister at Honolulu, the forces of this
government on board the steamer Bos
ton were landed jand used in perpetua
tion of the fraud.
. A Business Romanee.
Brestus Wiman, in bhis new book,
“‘Chances of Success,” tells a story of a
New York merchant which is full of en
couragement for the faint-hearted.
At the close of the war the merchant
had extended his business in the south
ern States until he had more branch es
tablishments than he could handle, Tak
ing advantage of the complicaled condi
tion of his affairs his creditors smashed
his business and locked him up in Lud
low street jail for making false misrep
resontations.
The prisoner wasé utterly hopeless un
til Christmas came, and with it a present
and a few words of cheer from an old
friend. With new-born hope, he wrote
ou the walls of his cell this remarkable
predistion:
~ “This is Christwas Day—a friend has
sent me enough to buy a Christmas din
ner. I vow to him, and write it here,
‘that as I am forty years old, before}l am
titty I will be rated in the reference book
whish he helps %0 compile as being
worth $5600,000 dollars, and before I am
sixty I shall be rated at over $1,000,000.”
How the jallers laughed at this appar
sntly silly boast!
It seemed the idle dream of a man
crazed by msfortune. DBut in three
months the man was released. Within
a year he had established a business in
job lots of dry goods, buying and selling
for cash.
He now occupies one of the finest
wholesale stores on Broadway and his
trade amounts to $6,000,000 a year.
This Napoleon of}business pays his
employes every night, 8o that at the end
of each day he can say that he owes no
man anything. His clerks are all men
who bave (felt the touch of misfortune,
He huets vp wrecks who have gone to
the dogs, takes them to his store, sup
plies them with liguor until they are
strong enough to do without it, and in
many cases he has turned these casta
ways iato good business men and repu
table zon .
As Mr. Wiman says, this singular mer.
chant’s christian and humane methods
have been so blessed and 80 successfu]
that it is a pity that he has not more im
itators. 2

J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharps

tion, coughs and coids, that it cured his
wife who was threatened with pneumo

THE SOCIETY WOMAN.
The Dissipations ot Fashionable Life.
“But she that liveth in pleasure is
dead while she liveth” (I. Timothy v.,6).
Paul recoiled with horror from the
ghastliness jof the gay scenes of the city
of Diana. With the same shuddering
would he turn from many a scene of
dissipation among the fashionables of
our cities. The woman whom these
words discribe is a being who lives to?
dine, to wine, to dance, to coquet, to
idle away hours over trashy flction andl
frivolous talk, and |without any serious |
purpose. It she is a mother, she dibi
misses her ohildren to the care of ser
vants that she may continue uninter
rupted in the gayeties of life. If she is
a wife, she is a hopeless dead vaight!
upon manly ambition. If & daughter,
she keeps her father working year in
and year out that she may make an an
ual: display of bewildering tollets at
some fashionable resort.
Extravagance is a great and increas
ing evil among us. Each tries to outdo
the other, until a style of living and dis
play lis established which only the very
rich can afford and which excludes all
sensible people from competition. She
who bedecks herself with jewels and
dresses, the annual cost of which would
support several of our charitable insti
tutions, becomes not only nothing more
than an advertisement for the jeweler,
milliner and dressmaker, . bus forgets
herself, shows poor taste, bad judge
ment and compromises her dignity. She
is the best diessed woman who makes
us forget what she had on.
An affected jdisregard of fashion is as
much a violation of good tasts as togo
to the extreme of display. Our goud
friends the Quakers are as proud of their
simple dress and glory in it as much as
do our ultra fashionables, whose gor
geous displays draw all eyes toward
them with astonishmens, ‘‘Avoid mak
ing one’s self conspicuous,’”’ is & good
rule in all things. The dissipations of
fashionable life lead to] frequent sacri
fices of health. It is quite a luxury to
seo a fashionable young woman in the
enjoyment of vigorons health, with a
fresh, Datural color and symmetrieal
physical development,
These rounds of so-oalled social duties
and pleasures in time make the gquietof
home distasteful and inompacitase the
mind for serious thought. The husbaad
finds that the expenses of married life
are far greater tban he anticipated, and
the comfort less as the expenaiture in
creases, and that his children are grow
ing up with notions of Jife which he
cannot satisfy, and we need mot wonder
that great discontent prevails among
many men.
What Farmers Beay.
No. Isays: *“Well, I am in no huarry
about selling my cotton. 1 have sold
two bales and have twenty more picked
and ginned which I can sell at any time.
But if I am not deceived about the erop,
[ think eotton will sell some higher
than at present prices.”
No. 2 eays: “I bought and paid for
3435 worth of meat last year. I have
bought only 44 pounds this year, and if
my present crop of hogs gontinue to do
well I will not haveto buy a single pourd
of meat or lard next{year. 1 expect to
market 75 bales of cotton this season.”
Tar BesT PLASTER.—Dampen a piece
of Hannel with Chambveriain’s Pain Balm
and bind it on over the seat of pain. It
is better than any plaster. When the
lungs are sore such an application on the

‘the shoulder blades, will olten prevent
pneumonia. There i 8 pothing so good
