Concerning “J.” New York Star. k writer in the North American Review is very sarcastic over President Cleveland’s letter o£ ac- beptance, because the personal jjronouns “I” and “me” figure so often in it. The same criticism has in past time been applied to other iheu who had SO mucli individual ity as to be obliged to make “I” and “me” prominent when they said or did anything. If a maii iiad an opinion; it is the opinion bf the “I.” If he has no opinion of his own, he can get along very well without the “I.” If a man has the courage and decision to act and take responsibilities, it is | list as well to say, in substance, “ ‘I’ do this or that.” If he has ho courage, and shriuks from ' re sponsibilities, he naturally doesn’t riant to to make the “I” so prom inent. The shadow or fragment bf a man has little need for ob truding the “I” upon the public, for there is little or no “I” to pro ject There is a silly egotism, and there is a justifiable egotism. Peo ple soon find out the difference be twixt the “I” that is very small Sriti claims to be something very large and the “I” that amounts to something. The man who backs up his convictions with acts,- and has a good many Convictions to so bafek up, might as well say, for the sake of brevity and clearness; “I” do thus and so, as to say the same thing by tlffi iiie of some more cumbrous form of expression. The man who has no convictions and doesn’t want any, and whd in his expressions studies to give three ihfianings to one assertion, and whose life is one continual twist, turn, squirm and wriggld not to give a direct answer or give a pos itive opinion unless it is furnished with an india-rubber backbone to bend in any direction that policy shall dictate—this “I’'-less species of man will naturrally use a letter, br other more crooked fbrm of ex pression into which he can worm and hide himself, other than the plain, square, upright “L” with one of Monroe’s promising young men—a farmer—on .matters in general and the outlook for young men, We were forcibly im- ed wigwam ticket.

Although such action had been Anticipated for some time, strenu ous efforts wefe made at the last moment to fuse the varying fac tions. Several confidential ad visers from Washington, personal and political friends of the presi dent, including Senator Gorman. Congressman Scott Arid Secretary Whitney, were closeted all night with the chiefs of the belligerent forces. It looked for a while as if the redoubtable Secretary of the Navy would himself be selected as the head of the union ticket, but all came to natight, and Tammany hastened to throw down the gaunt let and flourish the tomahawk as she has so often done in the past. The impression among demo crats here that this local duel will add votes to the national ticket is very general; aha this, too, is based upon history. The only time ii democrat has succeeded in get ting enough votes in New York city to land him id tile White House was under precisely similar Conditions. On the other hand, when all factions were joined eight years ago, Hancock was merciless ly knifed. This view is also ac cepted by the national committee men, and the only fear they have is that a bad effect may be pro duced ou outside states, where these conditiens are not so well understood. All indications favor the triumph of Mayor Hewitt, who has been endorsed by a large body independents, tfsiially found in the republican column. Whether there will be a regular republican Rich mond in the field has not been de termined. The leaders seem very much divided on this point, and there is ho telling what the out come will be. Four years ago Cleveland’s ma jority in this city was 43;000. Gov. Hill did a great deal better two years later. This year the demo cratic managers place the majority for the national ticket at at least 55,000, and claim with reason a gain of six to seven thousand in Brooklyn and Rings county. There is not the slightest cause for alarm about New York state. The news from Connecticut and New Jersey is' also very favorable. Particular attention is being given by the party managers to the little nutmeg state, which is always more or less eccentric at election times. A recent private poll gives the democrats 3,000 plurality— about as much as any- one aver gets in that state. Democratic gains in the recent town elections' amply justify this claim. Frank E. Yatjghn. my expenditures within the com pass of One-fourth of my income.” We were glad indeed to hear such a declaration from that young friend, and would that Avery young man in Monroe county just begin ning life for himself would adopt and rigidly adhere to that rule. For that young man in adopting this rule has struck the key note to financial success fof every young man who will work; lie has enter ed upon the path that will lead to comfort and plenty in his declin ing years. May this young man infuse, by contact and example, this same spirit into his conferees and associates, and scatter the seed thereof broadcast among the young men of the county; He; as a mat ter of preference, has chosen farm ing as his vocation, and said he, “j^es, one-fourth of my. income must suffice to gratify my aspira tions for pleasure.” This young man is following in the walks of his honored father and grandfath er, both farmers, who were at all times familiar with plenty. If he adheres to this rule of saving three-fourths of his income from constant work, pinching want will never visit his home. The prime reason why the young men of this county do not make money is, because they do not save what they make. Any young man who will work in the farm or elsewhere, and save three-fourths of his in come, will make, and will have money. It buoys us up greatly, and strengthens our hope foi’ the future prosperity of our country, when we see and hear that her young men are planting themselves upon such a platform. Advises Against Betting Rosa Wise, a young girl of Meri- diaii, Miss., had five cents given her as a joke for a birthday pres ent. She bought a yard of calico with it and made a sun-bonnet, which she sold for forty cents. This she invested in more calico, made it up and sold the garments and reinvested the capital until she had §10. With this she bought potatoes, planted them, paid for the cultivation of her crop, the gathering and carrying to town, atid iiiade §50 clean profit. This is worthy not only of your consid eration, but your emulation, young lady or young man. Go thou and do likewise. The betting mania has not seized upon the Biehmond correspondent of the Baltimorean; He says: I have netef seen our people more sanguine in their expectations that Cleveland and Thurman will be elected. Many call upon your correspondent to consult with him as to the propriety of making wa gers, but I give no counsel for or against. I have had much experi ence, and I have long since come to the conclusion that nothing can be more uncertain than the result of a popular election befor the people, unless it be a verdict of a jury and the termination or a horse race. I can recollect how utterly astounding was the defeat of Martin Yan Buren in 1840, by William Henry Harrison, of Ohio; then four years subsequently in 1844, the great orator and undenia bly popular Henry Clay, of Ken tucky, was defeated by James Knox Polk, of Tennessee? and then in 1848, Gen. Zachary Taylor defeated the Hon. Lewis' Cass, of Michigan; four years subsequent, in 1852, Gen. Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, gave Gen. Win field Scott H perfect Waterloo. Here then was a change every four years for 16 consecutive years. Bo not bet on: election# is your correspondent’s advise to all who may feel that way inclined 000 square miles, and has a popu lation of little more than 2,000,000 Greeks and Albanians. Scotland has about the same territory and- almost twice as many people; Switzerland lids a third less terri tory and a third morepeople. Bel gium and Holland taken together have about the same territory as Greece and five time§/ as many people. As for wealth’,^Greece is proverbially the poorestoountry in Europe. Her rugged, mountains and barren shores are hardly fit in many places for the scantiest veg etation; she has no rivers with fer tile banks; her commerce is still undeveloped, and uhe is cut off from Europe by the treacherous Adriatic and by the inhospitable strip of Turkish territory that promises to keep her for an indefi nite future from opening her rail way connections with the north. In Greece to-day it is the uni versal custom to speak of “going to Europe” L just as the Americans do of the stormy Atlantic between New York and Liverpool. Add to all this the fact that this barren little kingdom of 2,000,000 souls has a public debt of $80,000,000, and supports an army as large as that of the United States. The tales are so high that the island of Crete, now under Turkish rule, would nearly double its ratio of taxation, should It enter the king dom of Greece. But in spite of all this discouragement Athens to-day is a busy hive of educational in stitutions, and in all the country villages there are thrifty schools, a compulsory law being carried oiit with more vigor year after year. Ten years ago tlie statistics for illiteracy in Greece were ahead of those of Italy to-day, and* these ten years have revolutionized edu- tional affairs in Greece. The etymology of the word honeymoon is thus given by "a good authority: “Among the northern nations of Europe there was an ancient practice of newly- married couples to drink methegin or mead, a kind of wine made from honey (hydroma) for thirty days after marriage. Hence’ the term honeymonth or honeymoon. At- tilla; the Hun, diank so -much mead at his wedding feast that he died. The longest through car service of any railroad line in the world is said to he on the Southern Pa cific road, between New Orlearfs and San Francisco, 2,595 miles. The fastest through train on this road is timed at 113 hours and 22 minutes, or at the rate of 22 miles an hour. This’year in Georgia there are 6,605 more voters than last year. There are 2,214 more white vo tersjthan last year There are 4,318 more colored voters^than last year. „ Though the number of able-bod ied men has increased, the number of workers between^ 12 and 65 years bl age h«sf decrgased from 94087 to 87,793. There are 49 railroadjpresidents and only thirteen superintendents. Improved ; land has increased 247,205 acres, 5 and worth • $2,141,- 985 more 'than last year. The value' of horses, mules, sheep andj cattle has increased $999,064. Thfefe is $411,231 more of house hold and kitchen furniture. There is $33,099 less of watches," jewelry and silverware. Therefore 120,785 more dollars invested in plantation and mechan ical tools. There were 699,137 dollars worth of cotton, corn and provis ions held! by farmers on April first—$337,657 more than last year. Town and oity property has in creased in. value $4400,291. Bank shares are worth $1,- 368,196 more than last year. Merchandise is worth §545,312 more than last year. This is the'story of the tax di gests for 1888. It is a story of prosperity among the farmers, in the cities Wand towns; bet ter stock, better cattle, better tools, better furniture, apd more comfort in all walks of life.
