has achieved his most brilliant tri-
urnphs, and there be can be most
useful to his people. To take him
from the hails of congress and
place him in the gubernatorial
chair, would be to take a gallant
captain from the field, where he
had won his spurs in bloody con
flict, and place him in the com
missary department. Crisp' is a
field officer, and a braver one never
couched lance or wielded sabre.
In the intellectual tournament with
the enemies of right and justice,
he has proven himself a veritable
Ivanhoe, and by his skill and
strength in debate, he unhorsed
his opponents, one after another,
until but one resource was left
them, and they overwhelmed him
by sheer force of numbers. They
could not resist his logic; they
simply outvoted him. Hence
forth when he rises in the house
the democratic members will rally
to him as the gallant Frenchmen
at Ivry rallied to Henry of Na
varre, and his white plume will be
their orifiamme in many a well-
contested fight
“If yon want to promote Judge
Crisp, we are with you. The gov
ernorship would nat be a promo
tion; the United States Senator-
ship would. Will you who have
been urging that he be rewarded
for his gallantry, join the Dispatch
land News in pressing him for the
United States Senate. That is
something he has justly won.
There his splendid forensic talents
would have an ample field. That
would be a promotion in accord
with his merits—one meetjor his
gallaut services.

began to slacken speed, when we
felt a jar and knew that the loco
motive had struck some considera

was a farmer, and he threw up the
sash, shoved out his head, ancf ex
claimed: -
“By gam! bat I’m in luck!”
“Why, they’ve killed a horse!”
shouted a man behind us, as he
looked ont. -
“Yes, and it’s my boss!” added
the farmer.
•‘But you said you were in luck?”
“You bet I am! I’ve been riding
up and down this line for five
years on a pass they gave me for
killing an old cow which wasn’t
worth 85. The pass expired yes
terday, and now my old hoss, who
ain’t worth skinning, gits in the
way and is knocked over. Luck!
Why, gents, that means a free fam

Towers for the world’s fair have
been projected in such numbers
that the committee which will de
cide between rival inventors, will
be ready for the insane asylum be
fore theyjiave concluded their re
port, says the New York Press. I
am told that no less than fifty de
signs have been sent to th9 com
mittee headquarters, and that the
letters on that subject indicate
that a round hundred other invent
ors expect to ask the committee to
endorse and take u"p their proj
ects. A Chicagoan told me yes
terday that their committee had
been similarly beseiged, and I pre
sume it is the same-in Washington
and St. Lonis. When the fair is
finally located in New York, as it
will be, all these schemes will come
floating on here. So far, all the
schemes contemplate the erection
of a tower at the expense of the
management of the fair. The in
ventors seem to think they have
only to ask for an appropriation of
from one to five millions for their
special plans, to get it made.
W. F. Dennis, a civil engineer,
has jnst returned from the isth
mus, where tjie French commis
sioners are examining DeLessep’s
ditch, and deciding whether the
French should continue the work
on it to completion. “The people
of Colon,” said Mr. Dennis, “are
naturally much interested in the
action of the government at Wash
ington on the San Bias affair. As
to the f ntnre of the canal, there is
only this to be said: The corn-
clown is more apt to be endurin.
than either the lessons or expe
riences of after life.
Thus even in the training of the
young, the principle of man’s sla
very to habit is admitted and rec
ognized, although the effort is
then made to so shape that inborn
proclivity as to unfetter the mind
as much as possible from the things
incidental to every-day life, and
give it freer scope in more impor
tant concerns.
The natural proclivity to fixed
habits and customs is responsible
for national traits, local peculiari
ties, in fact for all the endless va
riety that gives interest to travel
and investigation! Bat it is in the
study of individual character that
the natural weakness becomes most
apparent-
The man that has spent the
greater part of his life in mercan
tile pursuits has so completely
identified himself with his busi
ness that daily attention to it has
become an essential to his health
and happiness. Although success
has probably afforded him ample
means wherewith to retire from
the cares of active participation in
commerce, still the daily routine
of his office or counting-house has
become so much a part of his ex
istence that to drop it ont of his
life would be to revolutionize his
whole being and probably rob him
of the one thing that buoys him
up.
It is the realization of this nec
essary continuance of a daily rou
tine that keeps so many in> appa
rently laborious and wearing occu
pations long after it has become ap
parent that, there is no longer nny
material necessity for sneb appli
cation.
The same thing is apparent iu a
nies. The paupers and the shift
less will not have enterprise suffi
cient to 9ome. The well-to-do, in
dustrious and energetic will soon
be glad to make the change, and
once here they will become our
natural.allies, and cause, the race
problem to sink ont of sight and
he forgotten in the rapid advance
ment and general prosperity of
this rogion.
We have outlined these ideas
before, and they are beginning to
be reproduced and favorably com
mented on in the north. The Wash
ington City Gavette follows our
fine exactly. It says the.best thing
for both sections would be the
wholesale emigration of the New
England people with all their
household goods to the south. New
England has been transformed
from an agricultural to a manu
facturing region, and has filled up.
with an alien race. The Puritan's
are being pushed to the -wall by
these aliens with their European
Sunday, and their old world tradi
tions and customs.
In the south these Americans
would find themselves surrounded
by American neighbors and a com
mon interest would make them.pnll
together. Our immigrants would
soon get rid of any misinformation
•or fancy ideas about onr problerrs.
and go to work with us to settle
them.'
Speaking in this strain the Ga
zette says:
Now let New England rise as
one man, give up an inhospitable
climate, its sterile soil, -its un
friendly environment to the Irish,
the Canadians and the Portngesp,
who are overrunning that land,and
seek happier homes and wider op
portunities beneath the bluer skies
and balmier breezes, on the fertile”
