Black is offensive to the eye, offen sive to tbe nose and it makes your flesh crepe to touch it. (Will the proof reader please deal geutly with the above joke and T will do as much for him sometime.) Henry Ward Beecher had the right idea of tbe way to treat death, rnd when at last it came his turn to die his borne and bis church both seemed to say: “Tbe great preacher is gone, but there is nothing about tbe change that is sad.” There is something the matter with grief that works itself up into blaek rosettes and long black banners that sweep'.be ground and shut out tbe sky and look like despair and feel like tbe season-cracked hack of a warty dragon. But wealth hag its little eccentrici ties and we must bear with them. But be alone is indeed rich who is content and w ho does not look under tbe bed every nigbt for an indictment. Look at pour old Mr. Sharp, with his stock of Aldermen depreeiating on his bands—men for whom he paid a big price only a few years ago, and who would not attract attention now on a teu cent counter, while he don’t feel very well himself. No, I would not swap places with J. Sharp and ride through Central Park behind a pair of rip, snortiug horses, with mourning rosettes on their heads, and feel that I must bur ry back to help select an unprejudiced jury. I w<wld rather baDg on to tbe brow of a Broadway car till I got to Fifty-second street, and stroll over the mmagerie and feed red pepper to the Sacred Cow aud have a good, plain, quiet time than to wear flue clothes aod be wealthy and hate myself all the time. I believe that I am hap pier in my untroubled, dreamless sleep > n my quiet coucf, which draws a s ilary during the daytime as an up right piano; happier browsing about at a different restaurant each day, so that the waiters will not get well ac quainted with me and expect me to give them the money that I am sav ing up to go to Europe with; happier, I say, to be thus tossed about on the | bosom of the great, heaving human j tide than to have forty or fifty millions ! of dollars concealed about my person ! that I cannot remember how I ob- ; tained. lost it all. I love to bear tbe praises of the wonderful deeds of McClellan, Grant, Meade and Hancock, for if they were such great warriors for cru-hing with their massive columns tbe thiu lines of ragged rebels, what must be said of Lee, tbe two Johnsons, Beauregard aDd Jackson, who held millions at bay for four years with tbeir fragments of shadowy armies. Pile up huge pedestals aud surmount them with bronze horses and tiders in bronze. All the Union monuments are eloquent of the prowess of the rag ged rebels and tbeir leaders. “Suppose the tables had been turn ed and that either of the Southerners named above bad been superior to uis antagonists in all tbe appliances and inventions of war, and bad been given, moreover, an excess of 2,000,000 men over them, how many statues, think ye, my countrymen, would there be of bronze warriors aod prancing chargers? The Congressmen from the Old South have voted liberally for all legitimate pension bills from Union veterans, for they know what a tough job It was for tbe 2,859,132 Union sol diers, with their magnificent outfit, to overcome the 700,000 rebels, poorly fed, poorly clothed, aod poorly equip ped. Theue pension bills are -piendid tributes to tbe pluck, patience, perse verance and fortitude of the chivalry of the Old South. “I love to hear the philanthropists praise Mr. Lincoln and call him the second Washington, for I remember that he was horn in Kentucky and was from first to last, as tbe Atlantic Monthly truly said: ‘A Southern man in all his characteristics.’ I love to hear them say that George H. Tbomas was tbe stoutest fighter in the Union army, for I remember that be was born in Virginia. When the old lady of the Old South hears the eulo gies upon these men she pushes back her spectacles that she may have a better view of tbe eulogist aud says: ‘These were my children.’ Then the old lady adds: ‘I have another sod born in Kentucky, and be is not a step-soD, nor did I raise him to die on a sour apple tree.’ ” * Too Soon. Boston Courier.] There is a revival in progress in a town not far from Boston, aud various incidents have marked the progress of the work of grace. Among others is related the following, which has at least the merit of illustrating a phase of bumau nature. Two ladies quar reled about a year since, and have since then refused to recognize each other. One of them, moved by an el oquent sermon delivered by the reviv alist on the need of brotherly love. ▲ Few Stock Prevaricator*. Brooklyn Eagle.] “I said in my ha.-te,” remarked the psalmist, “all men are liars.” That there are more liars in the world to day than there were in David’s time goes without saying, because there are more men. And with this increase of population there has sprung into be ing a new line of stock liars with whom David -"as unacquainted; fair, average liars, who do a plain, every day business, and only go in star parts wheu the star liar of the combination is sick nr tired nr something. Among these stesdy professionals may be mentioned: The man who “never reads the newspapers;" The man who “nev-rs“e* the edito rial cutting him up until his attention has been called to it:” The candidate who is “out ef pnli- ti< s and wouldn’t take the nnmiuation if it were offered to him;” The raau who “put Cleveland where he is;” Tbe man who “never had a day’s sickness in his life;" Tbe man who says the captain told him “it was tbe worst storm be bad ever experienced;” The family who was in Europe three weeks, “and went everywhere aud saw everything;" The professor who tells you that in all bis life be “never knew a child with one hair the marvelous talent for (music) (drawing) (elocution) (mathematics) (anything else) which your child has already developed;” Tbe man who “wouldn’tbave taken $100 for that dog;” The man who “made the mistake of his life when be didn't read (law) (medicine) (theology) (go on the stage;”) The man whose wife “doesn't ap preciate him” (a great deal more ac curately that he knows;) Tbe man who “whipped every boy he ever fought with at school;” Tbe mao who “could take that text aud preach a great deal better sermon from it” (tbau his pastor did;) The man who says “he wants you to tell him just what you think,” and never feels hurt at candid criticism, no matter how severe it is;’ The man who “never slept a wink last night;” The man who “told (somebody you never heard of) tbe'day before (Cleve land) (Garfield) (Blaine) was nomina ted, just on what ballot the convention would break on and how it would go;” The man who “never made hut one mistske in judgiug character in his life;” - The man who “can remember the only lie he ever told;" The man who “was offered $900 for that horse the day before he went lame;” and The man who “could turn a double hand spring from the ground, back ward or forward, when he was a boy, but hasu’i tried it for fifteen years;’’ (sometimes, with a redeeming im pulse ot gracious and beautiful truth, this liar will add, that “he doesu’t be lieve be could do it now.” The Mile-a-Hinnte Myth. “It is interesting to stodv railroad statistics,” said a railroad director to a Mail and Express reporter. He con tinues! In the same strain: “There are 290,000 miles of railroad in tbe world. Iu 1885 the railways of the United States carried 312,686.641 pas sengers and 400,453,439 tons of freight. Each person was transported an aver age distance ot twenty-three miles; hence, tbe entire movement on all the roads was equal to carrying 3,541,309,- 674 persons one mile. Massachusetts takes the lead in passenger transpor tation with 53,800.887; Pennsylvania next, then Xcw York, Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio. In freight tonnage Pennsylvania takes the lead with 105. 507,916 tons, and New York second. There are about 25 miles or double track, sidings, etc., 19 locomotives, 621 freight cars, 5 baggage and mail ai d 13 passeDger cars for every 10,000 oiilesof railroad in the Uni'ed Stales. “Speed is hard to average. The 60 and 75 miles an hour train isgenerdly a myth. An average 48 3-10 miles per hoar is tbe fastest time in the United States. This is made on tbe PenDsyl venia ‘limited,’ in its run from Jersey C ty to Philadelphia, 90 miles in less than two boors. The Flying Dutch man train is supposed to make the fastest time in the world, belweeu London and Bristol, llSJ- 4 ' miles In less than two hours. The average, .though, of even this fast train is ouly 59}s miles per hour. There are several other trains noted for remark .lily fast time on short distances. Sometimes a straight and even grade for a dis tance of 20 miles will permit a train to run at tha rate of more than a mile a minute. One train on the Canadian Pacific road, from Cotaneau to Otta wa, averages 50 miles an hour for a dis tance of 78 miles. On the Central road the late Mr. Vanderbilt traveled at the rate of 90 miles an hour. An average of 36>j miles an hour is con sidered fast traveling. Mauy of the limited, lightning expresses do pot go at a faster rate. The value of railroads iu the United States exceeds eight billions of dollars.” ADVERTISING RATES.

Jay Gould’s project of establishing a railroad town iu the West remind* the Philadelphia Record of the story of the summary manner in which h® wrought vengeance upon a communi ty that had incurred his displeasure. When tbe great strikes were on one year ago on tbe Missouri Pacino and other Western lines controlled by Jay Gould, the town of Sedalia, M«., was a thriving place. 'It was what is com monly known as a railroad town. Car sho|>a were located there, and Sedallw Imre about the same relation to the Gould railroads in Missouri that Al toona hears to the Pennsylvania rail road in Pennsylvania. During tb® strike tbe store-keepers and tradersof tbe town supported tbe striker® aud called mass meetings in their aid. Travelers who now pass the place are told that Sedalia people bad gone further than the < cession demanded. He became incensed at their activity, and it is reported that when tbe story of their doings was laid before him he exclaimed: “Within a year I will turn that town into a churchyard.” The strike ended In a failure. Jay Gould ordered tbe removal of the car shops ai_d all of bis railroad property. Within a month tbe town ot Sedalia began to show signs of decay, as the trains roll by and passengers note the absence of life, train men tell them that the place is Jay Gould’*- church yard. The revenge of the great mil lionaire is complete. Cautions to the Last. Bob Burdette.] When t he census marshal reached the farm house of Macamerou Oberhelster, in Conestoga enuuty. Pa., the wary farmer met him at the door with a shot-gun, and when the marshal asked his name, one of tbe boys went out to tbe bam and untied thret dogs. They chased the marshal clear across the township, when some neighbors head ed him off, aud then they put him in jail to bold him for trial. “Yer see,” said Farmer Oberbeister, “we’re outo those sharpers; they thiuk we’re fools because we live in the country, but we’re too smart for these town swin dlers. You see, in 1879 there came along a fellow w ho played tbe reaping machine commission game ou me and beat me out of $300; that made me mad. Then along in 1881, a fellow from Philadelphia came cut here and ptayed the cloth gauieon me, and that cost 1265.

Then the everlastiug metallic paint man be played me for $140, and then last year the sunrise wheat fellow got into all An Extra Session. New York World.J Senators Voorbees and Beck are re ported as expressing the opinion, in a conversation at Chicago, that the Pres ident will call iff extra session of Con gress for October 1st to consider the question of revenue reduction. This opinion ought to be verified by the event. An extra session of Congress is called for, whether it shall be called nr not. It is foolish to belittle tbe ne cessity on the basis of a juggling book keeper’s “net balance” iu tbe treasury. The undisputed fact is that the Gov ernment redeemed in the first ten months of the present fiscal year $125, 000,000 of the3 per cent, bonds. There are ouly about $17,000,000 of these re deemable bonds outstanding, and they have just been called. Owing to tbe failure of several appropriations the surplus will be greater for the coming year than it has been for the present one. It is likely to reach $140,000,000. Only a small part of this surplus can be put to any legitimate use. Its col lection should be stopped at the ear liest practicable moment. Congress should have been assembled in May. By calling it together in October, and confronting it with an emergency for tax reduction, a surplus may be stop ped which wil! otherwise be spent. If the December session be awaited, the holiday recess and tbe rush of reg ular business will postpone actioD on the taxes until next spring. Political expediency unites with public interest in demanding an extra session. The Democratic party should Dot go into the fall elections without one more effort, and an earnest one, to redeem its pledge to stop the surplus by re ducing the war taxes. Do Yon Know Who I Am ?

He was one day walking through a field, when a bull addressed him in an undertone and made for him with its head down and horns in a position to raise him. He was a State official, a man of dignity and political power and natural pomposity, but he ran. He ran surprisingly well. He ran even better than he did for office, and he got to the fence first.
