The discussion going on in Philadel phia whether Monday should not be made the pay-da}* for employes who are paid each week, instead of Satur day, is attracting considerable atten tion. Saturday is not a good pay-day, because by the time the workiugman gets home with Ids wages it is often too late for Ids wife to make pur chases for Sunday and the coining week. If she attempts it she finds the stores crowded, and if the goods are to be sent home she lias to remain up till late in the night to receive them. And then, Saturday night the children have to be looked after, their elothes laid out for Suuday, and iu fact hun dreds of little things must be done that makes Saturday a very busy day. Another reason against Saturday as a pay-day is that wage earners are more likely to waste their money in saloons on Saturday nights than they wquld be on auy other night in the week, because they do not have to work the following day. Because of the day In which io get sober a great deal of drinking is dune on Saturday night. Workingmen, however, are not the only persons who waste their money on Saturday night, some employers do the same tiling. Monday, as a pay day, is open to many objections. It appears, though it is not so in fact, that there is a long delay; that pay ment is not prompt, and, hence, there is liable to be a little dissatisfaction. For 18 years the pay-day in the Morn ing Xeics establishment, which now has a pay-roll of from $1,800 to $2,000 a week, has been Friday. And all the employes are paid off iu the afternoon of that day. Those who have lamilies thus have an oportunity of making their purchases before the close of the week ami Saturday night is tree from care and auxiety. Friday night is not a night for frolicking. Saturday morning everybody is at work as usual. 'The housewife can take her time in making pu. chases. The -worry of. waitiug for the weekly earnings until late Saturday night aiid the fear that Sunday will not be provided for are unknown where Friday is the pay day. He Told His Motive. Unman nature is swayed by mixed motives. Ev».!i an act. that appears disinterested may be prompted by sel fishness. An amusing illustration <.f this fact is giveu iu the following an ecdote: , . ; j An aged negro sat on one of the old whnrves of Salem, fishing. A colored l»oy was sitting beside him, eagerly watching the bob as it danced up and down. Suddenly the bob went under. The boy in liis excitement leaned so lar over the edge of the wharf' that he lost his balance and fell into the water. Instantly the old man dropped his fishing ]H»le and jumped iuto the water for tlie boy, and after** good deal,of splashing and spluttering, with the help of several men'ton the wharf, both were hauled out, gasping for breath. ... One of the men who had helped them expressed his admiration for tlie negro's courage. “That was a brave^deed of yours, my man,” said he. “What dat?” asked the disciple of Wa ton, as lie jteut to pick ,up his rod* “Why, your jumping in to save that boy.” 'Datboy!

Iu 1780, when Richard How- ley was elected Governor, Stephen Heard was a member of the Executive Council, of which George Wells was president. A short time after their election, upon the death of George Fields, Stephen Heard became presi dent of tlie Council, and during the ab sence of Gov. Howley from the State, while occupying his seat in the Con tinental Congress, to which he had beeu elected, became de facto Governor of Georgia. Just at this time the affairs of Georgia were in a critical condition, and Gov. Heard bad great trouble iu preventing the seal and archives of the State fron falling Into the hands of t'le British. The log house in which they were kept during this time, more than a century ago, is now used as a kitcti- en on the place of Mr. Marshall Situs, a few miles from town. polly Bartlett’s hanging On Mr. Pope’s place, in Washington, is a large poplar which always lints out Its leaves, it Is said, before any other tree. In the recollection of the oldest inhabitant it lias not changed materially iu size or appearance, ami must therefore be of great age. Tradi tion has it that the appearance of the young leaves on this tree was always taken as the first harbingei of spriug among the Indiaus, and they begun to plaut their patches 6f * corn at the coining of tlie first leaves. At the foot of the tree is a deep hollow*, walled on every side by sieep hills, forming a uaturai am phitheater more than a hundred feet iu diameter. In 1806 this place was the scene ef a tragedy which tradition has kept fresh in the minds of the people to the present day—the hanging of Polly Bartlett. She Is said to have been a re mar; a * y b .it.t fill woman in the very heyday ui iif*. She had couuived at and procured the murder of her hus band, but though convicted, sen tenced to be hanged, and driven to tlie place of execution In a cart seated upon her rude coffin, tradition has it that she did not believe she would really be hung. She was array ed iu her.richest attire, and w*heu the cart reached the gallows iu the center ot this uaturai amphitheatre, which, in those days was outside of the town, she rose to her feet, a perfect picture of womanly I6velines<. and called upon the men * fn the great crowd that was assembled to witness tlie execution, to know if they would stand by and see a beautiful aud helpless woman swung ' not raise a band to a! was a strong one and’ the pleader a’ lovely woman, but it had been established beyond a doubt that she hud caused her husband’s murder, and In those pioneer days srern justice had not been sicklied o’er with the puling sentimentality of to-day, and pretty Polly Bartlett, despite the eloquence ot her womanly beauty, paid the peualt of her crime, and through four score years her tragic fate has been a terrible w arning to faithless wives. ernment.

In January Bail read* are Servants net Blasters. Congressional Recon I. Congressman Thomas W. Palmer, of Michigan, in his recent speech upon Governmental Regulations of Rail roads, among other things, said: Railroads are beneficent servants, but they must not become masters. The dwarf lias grown large enough for us to impose restriction upon his growth, else the old fable will be illus trated in practical life. If unchecked he bids fair to develop into au Afrite of gigantic stature and overwhelming and malignant influence. Railroads are no longer dull, insensate things. They are imbued with intelligence, and an intelligence that neither slum bers nor sleeps. They are uo longer joint stock companies; they are dynas ties. They are already outlined, and in a few years if not supervised and con trolled by legislation they will have become as firmly fixed iu their grasp upon continued power, commercial social, and political, as the Hapsburg^ the Holienzollerns, or the Guelpit*. These reiguing houses were born of force. They were the triumph of the strong over the w eak. These modern dyuasties will have been boru of law and of concession and will be the tri umph of the creature over the creator. • The old cry of the mayor of the palace when he appeared at the win dow of the Tullleries, “The king is dead, long live the king,” may well be proclaimed when the rallroad'magiiate goes to his long home. Not a schedule is changed, not a locomotive puffs less fiercely, not a sardine less is sold in tlie restaurant. The same intelli gence, fortified and intensified possi bly by new blood, wields the sceptre and otters its mandates. The fact that the stock changes hands does not detract from its power or alter its purposes. It is more re morseless than roan, for the responsi bility is divided. The cabinet or min isters w ho shape its policy and carry out its behests justify their course by the plea of necessity, am! feel no trem ors of conscience from the Tact that tlieir personality is merged in that of the corporation. Hitherto content has come to the plain people of our laud, to the me chanic, to the farmer, to the artisan, because, as he >at by his hearth uoting tlie progress of hisfellow s who had out stripped him iu life’s race, his eye turned to the bright boy and the laughing girl with a knowledge that to them America offered every possi bility of culture, wealth and power. He knew tlutt the history of the men whom America had delighted to honor had showu that from the humblest b« - ginniugs nothing restricted or directed the development of tlie American citi zen outside of himself. To-day he sees the price of his labor determined not from h ; s surroundings. He sees hfe villiags »*uilt up or destroyed by a for eign wi 1.

A German observer has found that cows milked three times a day gif much more milk than when milked twice only, aud the proportion ot fat is the same in both cases. It is a remarkable circumstance that Captain Boycott, tlie god-father ot a process that has become so much feared and hated, is at present one of the most popular land agents in Ire land, and is a particular favorite of the working people. The two little sons of the Widow ilarrelson, of Georgetown county. South Carolina, were wrestliug in tlie woods, when a tree that was being cat feHaml killed both. This happened while their mother was at the bedside of her dyiug father.

Tlie # longevity of women who are fortunate enough to marry soldiers is shown in the fact that bur pension rolls bear the names of about 20,000 widows of the veterans of 1812. The brides of seventy-four years ago are nearly eenteuariaiis now, and the number of them quite surpasses belief. “When 1 came to this country,”said Peter McGeoch, “a bushel of wheat was a day’s work. Men now want $2 a day lor wages, and it takes three bti-hels of wheat to make that. There is something out of joint. I don’t know what it is, but to my mind tlie farmer, is in a w orse plight than"any other man in the country.” The story is told on the Pacific coast that a Chinaman, discharged on ac count of the boycott, turned to his iate employer with an air of genial and inqiersonal regret: “O, yes; Ilishman ask Mellcau man send away Chinaman.

An April-fool joke has been revealed to the edification of the public of Erie. A inau who seiit invitations to nine clergymen to call at a hotel to marry the writer, whose name was disguised, has been presented with nine bills for the amount needed to cover the ex pense aud trouble on this April fool’s errand. The clergymen guessed the name of the joker easier tiiau his joke. The best paid managing editor in the couutry—not editor-in-chief, mind you—is John A. Cockerlll, of the New York World, who receives $10,000 yearly. The best salaried edi tor in the world is the chief, of the Londou Times, who is paid as wages $25,000 a year* and is provided with a handsome house tree of charge. Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, gets $10,000 a year and $30,000 iu divi dends on his stock. A Philadelphia paper says that the churches of-that city pay less for music than do any others in- the principal cities of the Uuited States. It is esti mated that nearly $200,000 is expended annually upon the choirs of the 662 churches of Philadelphia, which would show* a cost for each choir of about $300 a year. The paper asserts, how ever, that the majority of the choirs do not cost even that amount, and tliat the cases are very rare where organists are . paid $1,000 or over, and solo singers more than $500 or $600. Among other traditions of *the gov ernment printing office at Washington is a story told about a boy sent with some proof-slips of an important decis ion to Chief-justice Tauey.

The best locations have been secureu,and with rare exceptions, the natural supplies of water are con trolled by parties who use them as they do private property.

His case aptly illustrates the fickle ness of fortune with political aspirants. Fourteen years ago Mr. Pulitzer had it natural bent lor politic*. He and Colonel William Grosvenor, of St. Louis, were tlie moving spirits of liberal mi tiorntf corircntttfn or Cincin nati in 1872. This representative body nominated Horace Greeley for Presi dent. So active were Grosvenor and Pulitzer in the manipulation of the liberal political wires that the conten tion was universally dubbed and kuown as “tlie Bill aud Joe Conven tion.” After Greeley’s defeat Mr. Pulitzer drifted back to St. Louis. There he vaiulv sought a ijoin ination to Cougress. His frieuds say that he thought of it l«y day and dreamed of i: by uight. Gifted with a Conklmg- like form, a sonorous voice, auJa flow of language equal to that of Carl Schurz, he was apparently just the man to represent the old Frank Blair district He weut to tlie Missouri leg islature, aud appeared iu a constitu tional convention, leaving an envia ble mark in both places, but Whenever he sought au entrance into tlie nation al temple the doors were shut iu his face. JHe had already cut a journal istic swath as a reporter on the West liehe Post. and he now began to double it. He went into journalism like a mail cradling a ten-acre field o! rye. Without money he bought a newspaper at a sheriff’s sale, and swung bis scythe with a vigor that surprised both his frieuds and his ene mies. The grain fell around him in heaps, and was raked and l»ouml with consummate skill. Yet he was as far away from Congressional honors ever. Making a fortune In journal ism in St. Louis, he brought his West ern suathe to New York, fitted his blade, and swung his scythe like a man working by the job. AH his po litical aspirations had faded, and he paid strict attention to reaping the grain of journalism, lie bad no more idea of going to Congress than he had of going to the moon. Just at that time, however, the county Democra cy and Tam many were locked in a deadly struggle. Each was trying to knock a prop from under the other. Thomas J. Creamer saw a chance to rake all the points of the i>oliiical com pass. There was a quarrel over the Congressional nominations. Neither faction was willing to concede any thing to the other. Creamer induced one of them, as a stroke of* |»o!lcy, to nominate Pulitzer in the ninth dis trict, saying that the oilier faction would be forced to indorse it. He was right. The nomination was indorsed, because tiie opposing taction did not propose to be put in a hole. The great Magyar was astonished. The honor that he had vainly sought If millionaire, James Lick.

The work of polish ing the disks has now reached that stage where the removal of a few grains more or less from the wrong place would ruin them. The only in strument used is the hatfd smeared with rouge, a polishing substance finer chan the fittest emery. Some idea of the power of the in strument may be gained from the statement recently made by an as tronomer, that gazing at the moon, 240,000 miles a\vay, that orb by this telescope will be brought to within less than 100 miles from"the eye of tlie be holder. Mr. Clark ou Monday last was eighty-two. He and his wife will on March 25 celebrate the sixtieth an niversary of their marriage. He was born in Ashfield, Mass., and brought up a farmer’s boy, but bis self-taught skill gained him a situation as an en gineer, at tire age of twenty two, in a Lowell calico mill.

No assc-suients did he pay. Although ne had resided in the city barely two years, he went into the seat apparently tlie spontaneous choice' of tlie i»eoplc*. He did not even reside in the district. His ele vation was simply the offspring of the tears of local politicians. He represented a r.ch but a hun gry district. Hardly was he elected icfore a horde of officeseekers were at his heels. He shook them off, bat it wus like shaking off a swarm of mosquitoes. Not even a newspaper smudge would free him from them. Then there was another trouble. His business interests imperatively de manded liis presence in New York, while the interests of liis constituent* required him to be In his seat in the House. He drove himself both ways with all the jerky energy of his nature. Day was turned into night and night was turned into day. He flew from Washington to New York and from New York to Washington, like a cock pigeon with a mate and nest in both ilaces.

He held editorial councils in Park Row at noon, and at tended Democratic caucuses in W as fa in gum iu the evening. His bow was bent too strong and too long. No mau could stand it. It was only a qnestiou of time when the string would break. The congressional editor, or editorial congressman, felt like a candle burn ing at both ends. He could not make his personal interests subservient to tire interests of the people, and he was apparently too much of a man to make the interests of the people subservient to his personal interests. He could strike no happy medium, and so he re signed. after giving lii$ salary to the New York hospital to endow a bed for tlie Press club. His generosity to journalists is so great that he lias been dubbed “the George W. Childs, of New York.” Mr. Pulitzer’s resignation has set the newspapers by the ears. They are already selecting candidates for the vacancy. Under the law, however, tlie vacancy cannot be filled until the next general election.

A Goohe Farm. Savannah Sens. There is in the town of Mansfield Mass., a farm of 60 acres on which geese and ducks are fatteued for mar ket; as the geese largely exceed the ducks in number it may more proper ly be called a goose farm. A bout 20,000 parse are anuually fattened, being MMigtit as goslings. They are fed scald ed meal twice, a day, whole stuff once, and green stuff iu the season between times. It is believed, or it has been said by some agriculturists, that the excreta ol geese were useless as a fertil izer. Let this fact stand against tire statement. The goose farm has become so enriched by the presence of the geese that the proprietors do not care to use it longer, fearing it may be unr healthful. Therefore, next spring, a farm of 60 acres, near the present farm, will be used for pasture, while tlie old farm will be devoted to crops of f orage, which grow upon it luxuriantly.

At the battle of Missionary Ridge, near Lookout moun tain, in Tennessee, he received a box of supplies and a suit of clothes, which nis wife had sent him. He put on the suit, but remarked to hiscomrades that it was--the last suit be would ever put oh, as he would be killed to-morrow, His companions who heard tbisstrangi prediction, told him it he felt so hi should not go into the fight,’ but re main back. This he refused to do, stat ing that an officer should lead bis men wbeuever duty called them. Next morning, at tire head of his company, he entered the fight and about no m a bullet from the enemy hit him in the heart, killing him almost instantly. In his last moments while a fellow comrade held his bead in his lap, he cried aloud, “My poor wife and five little children, what will become of them!” and expired. Oh that day about noon hi* wife was sta tied by tue cry of. “My poor wife and five little children.” The voice seemed so famil iar to her and so certain was she that it w as her husband, that she rushed to the door to meet him. Failing to find him, she went around the house and looked for him, and then went to one of her neighbors to enquire if they hqd seen her husband. Just five days after this she received a letter from tire sol dier. who was with her husltaml in his dying moments, relating to her the last words that he uttered, which as she now claims, was the very words she heard.” An Afflicted Senator* Senator Mor«:ai, of Alabama, is sntt'ering great domestic afflictions.

He may be ruled ontof the nomination by certain ring management, as has been the case before, but we honestly believe that if the people are fairly con suited he will be nominated aud elected our next Governor.

The Dirl We All Like. - “The plainest girl I ever saw was the favorite in my native town. Every i»ody liked her. Beautiful? O no, she is not beautiful—that is, outside, but inside she is an angel.
