There has seldom occurred any
thing before an investigating com
mittee in this country that has been
so extensively commented on as the
scene before the committee on
foreign relations, between Mr.
Blaine and Mr. Belmont. The de
portment. of both gentlemen seems
to have been marked by the grossest
impropriety, and if made the rule for
the future conduct of t xaminers and
witnees’B in committee rooms, it will
bring discredit on that mode of ob
taining information.
Mr. Louis J. Jennings, writing
from London to the New York World
states on the authority of professor
Tynd ill that Dr. Koch of Berlin, has
ascertained the ex ict na’ure of the
parasite which causes consumption.
He has propagated it artificially and
killed animals with parasites thus
produced, Mr. Jennings adds:
“I' 1 hoped that K >cb will devel
op a harmless form of the tubercular
parasite, which by inoculation may
prevent consumption, and thus check
a scourge which according to Koch’s
calculation carris off one-seventh of
the human race.”
It is reported as a fact well known
to the insiders that the resignation
of both Mr, Hill and Gov. Brown are
in the hands of friends in Atlanta
who will band them both to Gov
ernor Colquitt, wherever either gen
tleman shall order his to be tendered.
Thus the State will at the same time
lose both her Senators. The Bstne
authority has it that when the resig
nations are received that the Gov
ernor will appoint Mr. Stephens to
the place of Mr. Hill and Gen. H. R.
Jackson to tbit of Gov. Brown.
These things may be we do
not quite credit them.
Mr. Edward Atkinson has written
a very long letter to the New York
Herald approving the plan of the
river commission of improving the
Mississippi river. He closes his let
ter by spying;
•'The writer cannot help feeling
that it is somewhat presumptuous
on bls part to attempt to present the
facts relating to an enterprise which
calls for the highest scientific skill;
but it is a matter which interests
every citizen of the United States,
and is one of the methods
of reconstruction which ought to be
approved. It is a wsr claim which
implies no private gain and no com
pensation except for one of the cases
of destruction incident to war which
may well be repaired by the people
of the whole country.”
THE PATTI ENGAGEMENT
-■>. —? —— ,r ‘
MAPLESON HAS A LIVELY TALK WITH HIS
STOCKHOLDERS, WHO AGREE TO
HIS TERMS.
New York, April 28.—A lively
meeting of the stockholders of the
Acaiemy of Music to night had to do
with contemplated arrangements
with Mr. Mapleson for the appear
ance of Mme. Patti next season.
Some of the stockholders were dis
satisfied with Mr. MaplpaQn'd ways
of fulfilling his contract, and Mr.
John Hoey addressed him in a very
pointed speech. Mr. Hoey said that
h‘, in common with other directors,
were tired of seeing in the newspa
pers interviews with Mr. Mapleson,
in which that gentleman was repre
sented as saying that he could not
succeed because he was handicapped
by 200 dead head seats belonging to
the stockholders. Mr. Hoey thought
the stockholders had paid pretty
liberally, and he wante4 tQ aa k Mr.
Mapleson whether §qch was or not
the fact.
Mr. Mapleson said the reporters
had been making up those stories;
that he had never said such things,
and be was willing to sign a letter to
that effect.
At length the stockholders and
outsiders guaranteed that Mme. Patti
should be paid $44,000 if she would
Bing 26 nights next season, and Mr.
Mapleson promised to secure her
fcj.rvioes. m
A director to-night; "The stock
holder have got tired of this unjust
abuse. We have paid liberally to
support the opera here. Mr. Astor
has paid $37,000 for bis box, and re
ceived in payrident the right to attend
120 nights. That’s prety expensive
opera for him. Others have paid va
rious sums for boxes, from $35,000
down. I paid *7,500 for mine, and
don,t use ft half the time, We don’t
tbiilk Mr, Mapleson has done what
be promise? and don’t want him to
blame us for what Is bls own fault.
We give him the house for nothing
and beat and light it. We expect
that when the new opera-house is
finished this will be of no futher use
for opera. There may be a hitch in
the Patti matter yet, as Mapleson
wants us to agree to give him $4 a
seat for tee Patti nights. That is
making us pay pretty steep for opera,
!>nd |f wp do It we do not propose to
et him represent to the wor id i hat he
s handicapped with iX) dead-heads.”
Col. Mapleson to charge $lO for a
box seat, and be has at his disposal
for sale 30 boxes, with from four to
b|i seats eqch. Ha has already sold
the Patti season of Hires nights in
Cincinnati for $24,000. vnd he also
has guarantees from Mr. Tyson and
Mr. Bullmao, the two larg> st ticket
speculators in the world, that they
will take together over $50,000 of
tickets, or $25,000 worth apiece. With
Patti, Campannini. Ravelll, Galassi.
Lauri, Novara and the rest he will
have the strongest opera company in
the world.
BILL ARP
TELLS OF THE WHIPPOOR
WILL’S COMING.
OF PEACE AND RESIGNATION—SPMPATHY
AND SUFFERING AND LOVE OF OUR
FELLOW-MEN—SENATOR HILL, SENA
TOR BROWN AND ALEXANDER H. STE
PHENS—THE WEAR AND TEAR ON AMBI
TION.
Written/ot the Constitution,
The whippoorwill has come at last
and that Is a good sign that cold
winds and chilly nights are over. It
is a sweet, sad note they sing, and I
like to sic in the piazza after supper
and hear them echo their plaintive
music to one another all around us.
It sounds like peace and resignation
and subdues our feelings and har
monizes us to the day’s troubles and
disappointments. Solomon siys it is
better to go to the house of mourn
ing than the house of feasting. Well,
I suppose that depends on how often
a feller goes and how long he stays
and how old a man he is. Too much
feasting will suifeit anybody,and it
takes less of it to salivate an old man
than a young one, but still these sad
and plaintive times come over us
mighty gently and seem to last long
er than a rolicking frolicking fiddle
dedee sort of music. All kindshave
their times and their fitness and one
emotion was given us to follow
another and we ought to enjoy them
ail if we could. The funeral dirge is
as much a part of life as the wedding
bells, and we must take ’em as they
come. We must weep with those
who weep. Sympathy is a refining
sort of thing—sympathy for the sick
and suffering and for anybody in
trouble. It brings us close to our
nabors and smooths over old ani
mosities, and brings comfort and
strength to both sides, I have great
respect for folks who have an abun
dance of sure enough sympathy. I
knew a man once who wasen’t much
account, and made no figure in lite,
out he was always on hand at a
tuneral—an humble and silent
mourner with the family of the dead.
And one day tie died himself, and I
thought that may be the same
epitaph that let Ben Adem into
heaven would let him in, for he
loved bis fellow-men.
WE ABUSE ONE ANOTHER
A good deal, especially about elec
tion times, and whenever the good
Lord prospers a man we join in with
the devil and slander him, but when
the Lord lays his hand heavy upon
him we get sorry right straight. I
was a ruminating over this whilst the
whippoorwill was singing, for I had
just read that Ben Hill and Joe
Brown were in a critical condition,
and their lives were banging on a
slender thread, and it made me feel
how helpless even a great man was
in the hands of bis Creator. There
comes a time when fame, and wealth,
and power, and.ambition all surren
der, ana sometimes it comes so soon,
so unexpeced—too soon, indeed, the
way we eee it, for the State and coun
try can ill afford to lose those men
now. The war brought about much
bitterness, but time is a wonderful
doctor. Time balances all accounts,
and the day has come, thank the
Lord, when the old men, and most
of the middle-aged have forgotten
and forgiven —yea, and done more
than that, for they have reviewed
their own mistakes and ask about as
much forgiveness for themselves as
thev show to others. If Ben Hill,
and Alek Stephens and Joe Brown
can forgive one another and meet in
kindly brotherhood who else should
complain.
THAT THIO OF STATESMEN
Have made their marks upon our
history. They have been great from
the beginning of their public lives.
They have been bold and aggressive.
Tney have been leaders of tne peo
ple and the people have followed
them and honored them. But now,
allotasudden.it looks like their
time is up. They are about to Retire
—may be to home and hearth and
quiet and the communion of kindred
and friends. We hope so—but, may
be, like the traveller, a night’s lodg
ing or a few days’ rest is all. They
are not old men. They ought to be
in their prime of mental vigor, but
nevertheless, they have lived a great
deal—few men have lived more. Old
Parr died when he was one hundred
and thirty-six, but Old Parr hardly
lived at all. He wasjari infant com
pared with some men who died
young. Tne age of a man is nothing
if he accomplishes nothing. Old Dr.
Johnson giid that every man could
do something for posterity. He
could plant a tree, if he did nothing
else, and the shade of it and the fruit
of it w uld comfort somebody when
he was dead. My idea of a success
ful life is for a man to do all the good
he can conveniently and consistent
with bis position and circumstances.
I don’t believe he is in duty bound to
hunt after it—to make a missionary
of himself- but every man has a cir
cle that he moves in, and within that
he ought to give as much pleasure
and do as much good as possible,
and be very quiet about it.
NOBODY OUGHT TO LIVE
on a strain. Ambition develops great
men, but the ware and tare of it is
not goad for a man’s health or his
happiness or the happiness of hjs
family. It is better to l|ve in the
country and enjoy pure air and good
water, and not see too much society.
Folks can see society until they have
no pleasure at home. A country life
secures good health, and that is
worth more than fams or money. I
was a thioging about my nabors and
I don’t know one who has to go to
the springs. There are no lives out
of order—no dyspepsia or bron
chitis—no Graham bread or oatmea|
porridge—no dieting except when we
haven’t got as much to eat as we
was to eat. I see that the northern
people are discussing the propriety
of eating no more meat and lots of
em are quitting it and say they feel
better and better every day. Thats
because they are puny and delicate
and dont work out of doo I a but they
will never convert a man who labors
in the field to refuse a nice beefsteak
or fried chicken or boiled ham and
greens for dinner. There are some
habits that come down to us from
Adam and they are going to stick. I
dont know exactly about Adam but
Abel eat sheep meat and Isaac eat
venison and the Lord said to
I Noah: "Every moving thing tliat
llveth shall be meat for you.” Coun
try folks enjoy their food morp thap

anybody. Peas from the vine and
potatoes freshly dug and berries
picked at home by the children are
better than town folks can buy in
the market. I reckon that Henry
Grady thought he enjoyed those
strawberries at Thomasville and he
did sorter but more of it was imagin
ation than fact.
NO MAN ENJOYS
food to perfection unless he gets
tired before band—tired from labor
or exercise and the pores get open
from perspiration and the craving
for good to restore the waste and the
appetite is keen and sensitive. A
man who sets about town and talks,
with his feet on a chair or a table,
never gets hungry at all. He eats
from habit and goes to dinner be
cause the bell rang. Country people
are always hungry, and that’s the
reason the horn blows a little before
twelve, and I’ve seen the plowman
stop in the middle of a row and make
for the house as lively as a darkey
will mount bis mule and run from a
little shower of rain. These darkies
amuse me. Every time a sprinkle
comes they unhitch and mount and
make for home and gets wet a com
ing and the shower quits by the time
they get here, and when I ask ’em
what they come home for, they say
"I was afeerd of the thunder. ’’They
don’t care acent about the lightning.
The darkies around here are a well
behaved, industrious set and give us
no trouble. I never knew ’em to
work as well. Last year’s failure of
crops set the tenant system back and
they hire now at reasonable wages.
There is no small stealing going on
that I hear of. Well, somebody did
steal too bee gums from nabor Free
man the other nignt and dropped
one in ths road, but they was white
men and we’ve got ’em spotted. It is
not the country negroes, who are
making mischief now. It is the
town and city vagabonds who carry
pistolsand put on airs and impu
dence and go sporting round. Town
is a bad place to raise niggers and
children. Bill Arp.

The New York Sun says: Odd mo
tives sometimes impel to matrimony
but those which have just led to a
marriage mania among the poorer
Jews of Odessa, causing them to
pair at the rate of 15 couples a day,
are at least practical rather than sen
timent d. They have heard that to
married Hebrews land is to ba given
free, either in Palestine or in that
modern Promised Land, the United
States. It shows a good deal of
faith as well as alacrity that they
are willing to wed on this general as
surance. Some doubting Israelites
of the Biblical age might have de
manded to see the land first, before
entering the bonds of matrimony.
