The New York Evening Poet is short

the size of the World.
A Pittsburg paper sees a grim humor
in the sign, "Dry goods,” hanging in the
windows of flooded stores.
Fifty years ago there were less than
fifty miles of railway in America. To-day
there are, in round numbers, 125,w)0 miles.
An Illinois grower of sorghum says
Do per cent, of net cane is sugar and water

Hence a cane crop is less exhaustive of the

An Ohio girl puts herself up as a
prize in a raffle—100chances at n dollar
apiece—and agrees to marry the winner if

reputation, but somehow the price, one
dollar a chance, seems rather high.
Undoubtidly the most complete
game of poker on record is the one re

Kellogg, at Gunnison, Colorado. Each
held threo of a kind, each reached for the
stakes, each promptly pulled out a pistol
because the other readied; both fired and
fell dead.

How true it is that “one touch of

8ee how those Soudan darkies who
are inarching with the Mahdi es
tablish their relationship with our
Southern colored citizens. The dispatch
puts it graphically. "The rebels advanc-
this evening to within a mile and a half
the town (Saukim). They then lighted
fires and destroyed a large melon planta
tion.” No doubt they did. Catch
them passing the melons by. And we may
be sure they enjoyed this episode in the
expedition very much more than the light
ing and marching in the heat.

Lord Grosvenor’s simple Funeral,
London World.
The Duke of Westminster has proved
that, in taking the lead In the Funeral Re
form Association, he fully entered into the
necessity for reform in the tad offices
for the dead; and when Lord Grosvenor
was buried ail the arrangements were of
the most simple description. A coffin of
plain deal inclosed the remains ; an unpre
tending, unornamented hearse conveyed
it to the church; and next day the hands
of thz keepers on the estate carried it to
its last resting place covered with wreaths
and crosses of flower* sent or brought by
loving hands. No paraphernalia of the
undertaker's trade was to be seen, and the
funeral, attended by all the nearest rela
tives of the deceased and by the tenants
and work people who could be present,
was the more impressive by its intense
simplicity.
What He Had In Them.
Paper Paper.
Another small boy got in hi* way this
week. A party of gentlemen visited some
ladies in the city Wednesday evening.
During the evening the family bud of
promise, whom we will call Johnny for
short, and who had not been long in
breeches, walked into the room.
One of the young gentlemen took Johnny
i his knee and said:
“Johnny, vour trowsers are too tight,
aren’t they?”
No,” said Johnny.
Well, they are too loose then.
No.”
This seemed to exhaust the subject but
Johnny was not willing to let It drop.
"lightening up he exclaimed:
‘Butthey'* got somfln in 'em!”
The gentlemen prudently refrained from
making further inquiries.
“Thcy’s got a hole in ’em I’, persisted
Johnny, with a triumphant air.
Then the party with remarkable una
nimity proceeded to divert the small
boy’s’attention from the wonderful gar
ment.

The “ragged edge” has a large sale,
though no longer new. The edges are
agged and tom, instead of being cut evenly,
[t is in imitation of the hand
made papers of fifty or a hundred
years ago, whose edges were always thin
and uneven. It Is an English novelty, nnd
the first that came had a watermark of a
Roman soldier’s head and below the letters
“B. C. .55.” This brings from sixty to
ninety cents n box, according to the qual
ity of the paper.
The Paleographic Is an exaggeration of
the same Idea. The cover of the box says
that the paper was found in Pompeii, and
it certainly looks so. The edges arc black
ened, charred and tom, and the surface of
the paper time-stained and rust'-. An un
sophisticated buyer might call it dirty,
but it is not; it is only “artistic.”
Twenty-four sheets nnd envelopes of this
only cost two dollars. The inside of the
envelopes is clean, but the outside bus
enough spots and dirt to bring the price up
to twice that sutn. There, is a dull red
paper with silver nnd gold dots sprinkled
over it. and another with stars. They are
a hideous, reduced copy of the paper which
covers the walls of some chancels in coun
try churches. The “hammered silver”
~ ir has water mark*, in imitation of the
i in hammered silver work. It Is
thin ami rather pretty paper.
The morocco, alligator and calf papers
are eniliossed to imitate the surface of those
leathers. One lady called them “agita
tion” paper, so irregularly did the pen
career over their surface. They are only
interesting as novelties.

Philadelphia Record.
At a meeting of the Collcgo of Physi-|
clans last week Prof. Harrison Allen, of
Itliis city, showed a new and very interest
ing discovery by which spoken language
can be represented by a series of curved I
lines on a receiving surfaco composed of
white paper coated with soot. The ex
pel iraente, which were originated by Drof.
Allen from observations which he had
made through watching the movements of
the soft palate when conducting experi
ments connected witli the human throat,
are made srith an instrument de
signed by the Professor, nnd which
to very simple and easy of oper
ating. By means of his device he to
enabled to register upon the surface of the
sooted paper the lines and curves that rep
resent the various phonetic sounds of the
human voice. His observation has proved
that ihe discovery will undoubtedly be of
great importance in diagnosing cases of
diseases of the palate. In the study of the
stammering anil in the comparative study
of the languages of civilized nations with
those of the first primitive races.
Professor Allen has already shown, by
means of his interesting experiments, that
many of the sounds which have long been
considered by elocutionist# to be formed
by the direct action of the lipe, the teeth,
or the tongue, are in reality formed by the
action of the palate. The subject to turel
to prove one of much Importance to the
world of science, and the Professor thinks
it will-develop some most interesting
facts.
Olve the People n Pure Press.
South Georgia Clarion.
It is a proud boast often mode by the
press itself, that modern thought and tone
of public morals is directed by the modern
newspaper.
It is a question whether this axiomatic
boast can oe received as entirely true, and
yet whether the press reflects public opin
ion, or moulds it, no single factor exercises
as much power for Mod or evil. Not even
the sacred desk, with its divinely inspired
message, can claim equal power with the
newspaper.
At stated intervals the pulpit sends forth
its warnings and promises, but the news-
S is a messenger that never yields to
e, and its tongue to never silent. Bv
and by day, amid sunshine and
storm, subtle as light and powerful as heat,
it visits the palace, the novel, counting
room and the parlor. It is read by the
man of business, the man of pleasure, the
staid matron, the wliite-liaired grandpar
ent, and pure young girls and boys pore
over its columns, llow necessary then,
that its pages should be free from a poison
that to all the more dangerous because it
appeals to a weak point in poor, frail hu
man nature; how important it is that
nothing that could call a blush to the
cheek of a pure-minded woman should bo
spread before Its readers?
Measured by this standard, and it is not
an unreasonable one, how many of the
newspapers of the day could stand?
We arc led to write these lines by the
course of one of ourState journals, which
aspires to be considered the exponent nf
the thought and genins of the new South.
That it is enterprising no one will gainsay,
but that it is a safe guide in public morals,
or suitable to be read in family circle, no
one will assert.
Industry and ingenuity are fatigued in
searching for morsels of scandal, and bits
ol sensational and sensuous news arc para
ded with the gusto displayed by a gour
mand over his epicurean dishes. The priva
cy of the home circle is invaded, the veil
that ought to be drawn over fallen nnd de
praved men and women is rudely torn
away and their sins and shortcomings
made public. No phase of depravity is too
depraved to be given the place of honor in
its columns, and none of the restraints
that propriety has thrown in the way of
such ribaldry arc strong enough to check
its mad search after news.
Whether dabbling and wallowing in the
cesspool of modern politics, national, Stale
or local, or coqueiting and toying with
corporate monopoly or private rings nnd
cliques, or prying Into the dark recesses
where vice and sin seek to hide their
heads, or into the nook where the loving
hands of friends have sought to shield the
shame of an erring brother or sister, it has
been and is to-day the courtesan of the
Georgia press, ready to be debauched for
hire, willing to condemn or praise, to pub
lish or bush up, as interest dictates, and
yet wearing the signet cl Its shame
with an effrontery which is ever the char
acteristic of the demi-monde. There are
evils which follow In the wake of such
journalism too apparent to need recapitu
lation, and it has been the fortune of tho
Lettor From a Female Physician.
My specialty is diseases of women and
children. I like Allcock's Porous Plas
ters because they are so quick and effi
cient, and never irritate or mark the ten-
derest skin. I have found them most use
ful in my practice, and they are certainly
the best plastersjnoR made. To illustrate,
my son of ten years of ago took o bad
cold and couched incessantly; no medi
cine would relieve him; after some twelve
hours I applied an Allcock’s Porous
Plaster to his throat and upper chest
The cough ceased entirely in an hour, and
the next day the boy was well.
I told the case to a gentleman who suf
fered in the same way: he, too, was cured
in twenty-four hours of his cough by All-
cock’s Porous Plasters. Another pa
tient suffered from pain in the small of
tile bark—Allcock’s Porous Plaster was
applied at night, and next morning the
pain had ceased. Again, a young lady
suffering from Neuralgic Pains around the
heart, by my advice used Allcock’s Po
rous Plasters, and was entirely cured in
three days,. Finally, a lady came to me
with Cold Feet, which constantly recurred
night and day—tills sometimes is a symp-
ton-nf Uterine Congestion—I applied an
Allcock’s Porus Plotter to the sole of
each foot, and her feet got and continu
ed warm. She wore the plasters over a
week.
Thus I have recently tried Allcock's
Poeous Plasters, nnd take great pleasure
in bearing witness to their remarkable cur
ative power.

here at Easter in a room constructed spec

will be exhibited here along side each other,
and tho public will be able to follow the
sequence of the master’s artistic thought.
The figure of Christ on Calvary is slightly
