MONEY VERY PLENTY-WHAT PRE-
VENTS SPECULATION?
New York Journal Of Commerce,

-NCh luAh cUOAndA VI NOAlAlSlNCs
Money is very plenty. Many seem
surprised that it is so abundant,
and we have been at some little pains
to ascertain the sources of supply. As
usual at this season, the surplus of the
whole country Is poured into New York
and other money centres, but this year
the flow has been unusually steady and
abundant. Singular as it may seem,
we find the largest fountain at the
South; not in the banks, or it would have
been utilized, butinthe pockets or Chin
newcomers of the negroes, and IN the
boxes and packs of the ewpeddlers and
others who pick up some of the earlier
disbursements. This money has been
coming out asthelaborers are spending
it, and the gatherers are bringing 1t
here. 1t is evident that the South is
not quite as poor as supposed. In
Southern channels where large streams
OF capital formerly ran, and IN places
where these formerly accumulated in
that section, there has beena moderate
supply of money, but in narrower linn
its and more private boards the full
ness has been more particularly no.
ticed by all close observers, and We
trace much OF our present abundance
to these comparatively hidden springs.
In view Of such ease in the money
market everybody Is wondering why
stocks do not rapidly advance and why
there is not greater fever of specula-
ton. If each inquirer will state the
reason why he does not speculate HIM
self, he Will explain the whole mystery.
The truth is that our bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, lawyers, clerks
and men of business generally, whose
annual, or more frequent, occasional,
attempts to grow suddenly rich by a
turn of stocks have given the brokers
and commission dealers at the Stock
Exchange the raw material for their
fat diet. are not seized of this inordi-
nate thirst Just at present, or have
found that the old method OF shaking
it was altogether too costly. We
! believe that those who have been
in the habit, whenever legitimate busi-
ness was slack, of taking a turn" in
stocks have profted somewhat by their
old experience, and do not take to the
old hook at all kindly. The stock
brokers angle for the old customers IN
vain. Most of our readers viii recall
the old story of the two Dutch fisher.
men who sat all day on the opposite
sides of a bridge, with their pipes in
their mouths and their lines in the
water, and summed up their experience
at night in the following: Hans, what
bites your" Nothing" "Well, moth,
ing bites me, toO,' That is what is the
matter with the stock market. NJ
matter how tempting the bait, moth
ing bites" on either side of the bridge

THE COMMISSIONERS.
How Grants Defiance of Congress I'M
Nominating Boss shepherd was Re-
garded.


How Grants Defiance OF Congress in
Nominating Boss shepherd was Re-
garied.
Washington (June 80 Special to the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Expectation was on tiptoe to-day IN
reference to the Commissioners ad in
term for the District. The mystery
was solved at an early hour, the Presi-
dent sending in the names of Hon.
Henry T. Blow of Missouri, ex-Post-
master General William Dennison of
Ohio, and the notorious Boss
Shepherd, on whose administra-
ton Congress has so decisiyely
pronounced. The names Of Messrs.
Blow and Dennison were fayorably re-
ceiyed, most persons here, however,
knowing very little about them; but
the nomination of Shepherd, though no
surprise to many persons, created dis
gust and indignation. The appoint
ment was generally regarded as an ex-
traordinary defiance of the sentiment
of Congress and the country, such as
only Grant could be guilty of. Curious
to know the result, a large crowd
gathered around the Senate
door, while this august body
shut the doors and windows,
with the thermometer at 80 in the
shade, to discuss the merits and de-
merits of the Presidents best friend.
The Senate is servile enough on ordi-
nary occasions, but to-day the Admin
istration Senator's were too sharp to
walk blindly into the trap set for them.
They recoiled from the fatal step of
shouldering this bad man. A very sharp
debate began, and Shepherd was rough
ly handled, with only very cold and
formal defense. Mr. Sherman is
said to have opposed the confrma-
ton very decidedly, and General Logan
in still more pointed and severe Ian
guage. Report also says that Carpen-
ter and Anthony lodged the final vote.
The result was only six for confirmation
and thirty-six in the negative. The
six Senator'S are understood to be Clay
ton, of Arkansas; Conover, of Florida;
Jones, of Nevada; Patterson, of South
Carolina; Spencer, of Alabama, and
Sargent, of California. 1t would of
course have been a great piece of i'm
pertinence for such persons as
Clayton, Patterson and Spencer
to vote against anybody's
nomination. Senators are greatly
amazed at the hardihood Of Grant in
sending in such nomination. Shep-
herd, however, Is reported to have
counted largely on the Presidential
favor, and to have arranged for cannon
to fire a salute as soon as he was con-
firmed. The salute was not fired. All
the Cabinet, save Bristow and Fish,
are said to have favored Shepherds
appointment Members from St. Louis
doubt whether Mr.. Blow Will accept
the place. 1t is some $4,000 per an
mum, and only an ad interim or provis-
ional appointment. Dennison has been
here, and his acceptance is supposed to
have been secured.

EDGING FOR WALKS, FLOWER
BEDS, ETC.

Briggs Illustrated Quarterly has the
following IN relation to edgine for gar
den walks or flower beds, which will
commend itself to our readers as be-
ing at the same time simple and eff
fective:
1t is generally desirable that we
should preserve the shape of our flower
beds and borders from year to year, SO
that the plants shall not be encroached
upon by the walks. When flower beds
are cut out in the turf on the lawn, an
edging with the spade is all that is
necessary to keep them in shape for all
time. 1t has been the custom for years
to use a dwarf growing Box for edging;
still this is only used by few, and, asst
does not flower, there are many who
would prefer to use Towering plants
for this purpose.
The dOuble-howering Sweet Violet Is
a capital plant for edgings to beds, bor-
ders and walks. The best time to plant
them is in the spring, when the beds
are spaded up and got into shape for
the season. Draw a line where it is
desirable to form the edging, and. after
separating the plants into small pieces,
plant them firmly about six inches
apart, along after the line. In short
time they will present an unbroken
line or edge, and the next season they
will give an abundance Of their accept
able, fragrant flowers. The Double
Russian is the variety best adapted for
this purpose. The ANIMALS and
other towering plants can be
planted quite close to the violets, rs
some shade will be found to be benei-
cial to them. The double daisy makes
one of the best of floral edging, and
should be planted quite thickly for Gne
effect. We have seen edgings Of this
pretty and popular flower that were
vastly superior to anything seen in the
line Of edgngs. The Sedums Seiboldi
and variegatum are excellent, used fol-
this purpose, being both perfectly
hardy besides standing perfectly vel
through the hottest summers, becoming
denser each succeeding year, as well az
being loaded with rosy, purple flowers
in the autumn.

THE SONG OF THEuNIyERsAL.

II n
BY WALT wHITNAS.
Come, said the Muse,
Sing me n song no poet yet has chanted:
Sing me the Universal.
In this broad earth of ours,
Amid the measureless grossness and the sag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed Perfection
BY every life a share, or more or less,
None born but il Is bOrn-conceand or uncon-
ceal'd, the seed is waiting.
Lot keen-eyed, towering Sciencei
AS from tall peaks the Modern overlooking,
Successive, absolute fats issuing.
Yet again, 10! the soul-aboye all science;
For it, has History GATHERED like husks around
the globe;
sky.
In spiral roads, by long detours,
{ As much-tacking ship upon the seal
For IL, the partial TO the permanent flowing,
For it, the Real 10 the Ideal tends.
For it, the mystic evolution;
Not the right only justifed-what we call evil
also justified.
Forth from their masks, no matter what,
From the huge, fostering trunk-from craft and
guile and tears,
Health to emerge, and jOy-joy universal.
Out of the bulk, the morbid and the shallow,
Out of the bad majOrity-the varied, countless
frauds of men and States,
ELECTRIC, antiseptic yet-cIeaying, suffusing all,
Only the Good is universal.
Over the mountain grOwths, disease and sorrow,
An uncaught bird is ever lowering, lowering,
High in the purer, happier air.
From imperfection's murkiest cloud,
Darts always forth one ray of perfect light,
One flash OF Heavens glory.
To fashions, customs discord,
To the mad Babel-din, the deafening orgies,
Soothing each lull a strain is heard, just heard,
From some far shore, the final chorus sounding.
o the blest eyes! the happy heartsi
That see-that know the guiding thread so fine,
Along the mighty labyrinth!
And thOu, America.
For the schemes culminatiOn-its Thought, and
For these, Cnot' for thyself,) Thou hast arrived
Thou too surroundest all;
Embracing, carrying, welcoming all, Thou too,
by pathways broad and new,
To the Ideal tendest.
The measur'd faiths of other landslide gram
deurs of the past,
Are not for Thee-but grandeurs of Thine own;
Deifc faiths and amplItudes, absorbing, com
pretending all,
All eligible to all.
All, all for Immortality!-
Love, like the light, silently wrapping ALI
Natures ameliOTatiOn blessing ALL
The blossoms, fruits of ages-orehArds divine and
certain;
Forms. objects, growths, humanities, to Spirit
ual Images ripening.
Give me, o God, to sing that thought
Give Ine-giye him or her love this quenchless
faith,
In Thy Observation-Disclosures else withheld, with
hold not from us,
Belief in plan of Thee enclosed in Time and
Space,
Health, peace, salvation universal.
Is il dream?
Nay, out the lack of Il the dream,
And, failing il, life's lore and wealth a dream,
And all the world adream.

A FARMERS BOY.

The FiRancier thus notices q farmers
boy:
Mr.. Lick was farmers boy in Ian
caster county, Pennsylvania, and went
to California IN 1919, where his success
became as phenomenal as is now the
use he has made Of it. He was cat
tie dealer on a large scale in South
America, when the Gold discoveries
were first made, and became In Cali
fOrnia a mill-owner and real estate OPP
orator on an equally bold and colossal
scale. He is said to have expended
nearly half amiliOn, in 1853, upona sin.
gle Touring mill IN Santa Clara county,
with interior fittings, of solid mahogany
and surrounded by fifty acres of land
which he set with choice pear trees.
He built 4 great hotel In San Francis
co, which bears his name. Yet so I'M
ostentatious has been his life that his
name has been but little known. The
spectacle Of this man, now that he is
nearly through with at least the COM
Portable portion of life, reserving to
himself a life annuity and giving all
his property to found magnificent en-
dowments for all generations TO come,
is one that is itself delightful and con-
veys a moral which need not be point
| ed out.

Brownsville (Tenn.) Bee, June 10.
On Monday last a negro named Henry
Randolph, living on Capt. }. NJ. Shaw'S
plantation, nine miles east of Brownsville,
was arrested. carried before Esquire Dick
insOn, of District No. 3, and committed for
trial for the killing of a little orphan negro
boy named Antony, ageitwelve or fourteen
years, who had been living with him. He
was arrested by John Allen, cOlOreJ, who
had been summoned by Sheriff Sherman 10
take him. He was in the hands of Capt.
Shaw. one of our very best citizens, and on
the way to a magistrate to give himself up
when taken. Ii seems that on
Tuesday, June Q, the boy Antony was
