The principal objection TO rugs is their
first cost, which for good ones is as yet
considerable. l do not like to see sew
eraI rugs in room, but prefer one large
one, large enough, that Is, to cover the
whole fOor up to, or nearly up to, the
large pieces of furniture. In no case
should any one Of these large pieces rest
upon the rug, for it ought to be an every
day, or at least an any-day matter to
turn 1t up and brush underneath it, or to
roll 1t up and carry 1t out on balcony
er be II some heavy table, or piano, or
bookcase, has to be dislodged for the
purpose. Where there are several
smaller rugs in room, or even several
of good size, 80 long as in either case
they do not cover the whole Of the free
floor, they are apt to prove impediments
Ito trip up children and old people, and
they break up the unity Of the room, give
1t patohy look, which is the chief thing
to be avoided. 1t is better on ali ac-
counts to buy a rug large enough to
cover all the floor we wish to cover,
even If 1t strain our purse little, for q
good rug will last lifetime, and indeed
know rugs that are well on their way
key, Persian, Smyrna rugs are made by
hand Of pure wool, and are 90 thick that
il a brazier Of GOALS is upset on one OF
them, the oharred portion, which In the
case OF Brussels carpet, could never
be effaoed, will disappear after few
days wear. After much using a good
Eastern rug, walking on the best body
brussels, is like walking on the wooden
floor, to the feeling. To an artistic eye,
too (and how much Of this writing must

with time and use, and even

as If 1t were human being.-Scribner.

,AIIY APPEAL- WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER :,

Of the nortb-rn States, and OF Europe as
well, WHO seek new fortunes in milder
cir. ates and on more fertile soils. The
.gestern movement, that is, west OF
the Mississippi valley, is checked for the
time by the cold winter Of the north,
and the arid plains Of western Nebraska
and Kansas.
Mrs. Wsllingford, the notorious ad-
ventures, was put off the tain at Hunt
iugton, Indiana, last week. She had
been riding on a thousand mile ticket
which expired some time ago, though
the distance for which it was issued had
| not been travelled. She had lively
racket with the conductor, and threat
ened not only to have him discharged,
but to degrade him so low that he could
never again obtain even brakeman
ship on the Wabash or any other road
1t is said that the editor of the Hun
gdridn J0tfTTlGl, Hon, Is probably the
most fruitful and industrious writer OF
| the present century, having produced
between IS46 and 1875 one hundred vol
umes of novels, twenty-eight volumes OF
humorous miscellany, eight volumes OF
historical, political and biographical
ESSAYS, four volumes of poems, foul
volumes of dramas, eight volumes OF
annuals, and forty-eght NOVELTIES. His
productiveness increases yearly. In
1874 he produced fourteen volumes, and
this year he has already produced eigh'
teen. During all OF this time he has
been doing remarkably active work as
journalist. This author COMP ares in in
dustry and fruitfulness with the famous
Richard Baxter, whose works in every
form, from bulky folios to pamphlets,
number not less than one hundred and
sixty-eight.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION OF TEXAS.

From the Austin State GCsette, Of the
twenty-fiftb, we learn that the Texas
State constitutional convention sd-
iourned on Wednesday last, after ses-
sion OF eighty days, at cost to the State
Of sixty Thousand dollars. The cOnsti-
tuition now goes before the public for
their approval or rejection, at 8 general
election to be held on the third Tuesday
Ia February next. Forty thousand cop
les OF the instrument will soon be pub
lished and distributed throughout the
State, and also nine Thousand copies in
the German, Spanish ard Bohemian
languages. This will afford the people
a full opportunity to judge Of its merits.
The new constitution, the State Gazette
says, is vastly superior TO the old, and
will meet with the general approval Of
the people. While it has been framed
by a convention composed mainly Of
Democratic members, it is in no sense a
partisan instrument, but bears upon all
classes alike. In fact, the rights of the
minority have been so thoroughly re-
spected, it constitutes a ground of OBJ
lection to citizens prompted by purely
partisan and selfish views. One Of the
chief recommendations Of the new con-
stitution is the facility furnished for
amendments should the instrument be
found defective in any important partic-

CHIEF-JUsTICE WAITE DECLIsEs


The Toledo Commercial of Sunday
morning contained an article on Chief.
Justice Waite and the Presidency, en-
bracing an extract from a private letter
from that gentleman in answer to a
friend urging his assent to a movement
in his behalf in that connection. The
chief justice positively refuses such as
sent, giving reasons therefor. He says:
OF course am always grateful to my friends
for any efforts in my behalf, and no one ever
had those more faithful or indulgent. But do
you think 1t quite right for one occupying the
first judicial position in the land to permit
the use OF his name for political position? The
Office came to me covered with honor, and
when 1 accepted it my chief duty was not TO
make of it a stepptng-stone TO something else,
but TO preserve It's purity and II possible make
my name as honorable as those of my prede-
cessors. No man ought to accept this place
unless he shall take a vow to leave ii as honor
able as he found IL. There ought never to be
any necessity for rebuilding from below; all
additions should be above. In my judgment
the constitution might wisely have prohibited
the election of a chief justice TO the Presi-
dency, and, entertaining such view, could l
properly or consistently permit my name TO
be used for the promotion of political COM
bination, as now suggested? II should 90 SO
could at all times and in all cases remain an
unbiased judge in the estimation of the peo-
pie?
We trust the judges Of the supreme
courts of all the States, as well as Judge
Waite's associates, will remember these
words 30 thoroughly in accord with the
dignity of his high judicial calling,

WHY RAILROAD STOCK HAS NOT
BEEN PROFITABLE.


We often hear complaints that private
individuals or counties that took stock
in Tennessee railroad companies failed
to realize any profits from this stock.
slider the condition of the country soon
after the roads were built, and its situa-
ton ever since that time. 1t is unfor-
tunste that the stockholders lost their
stock, but this was owing greatly to the
peculiar circumstances which surround
ed them. While, however, they lost
their stock, the benefits they derived
from the building Of these roads was far
greater than the amount of stock they
lost. In a speech recently made by VIM.
J. Sykes at Brownsville, the reasons why
stock in Tennessee railroad companies
has not heretofore proved profitable are
given in the following words:
II Is true that in many instances the stock
in-Teunessee railroad companies has not been
"A GOOD Investment, but the causes are appaT-
ent The roads we're built by small subscrip-
tons OF stock and large amounts OF borrowed
money. The amount OF stock subscribed In
THIS county 70 mt " a. lAcl GAAAtA
phis and Ohio railroad company die not eX-
coed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
while the cost OF the roads in the county was
six hundred and fifty thousand dollars AS it
was with this road In this county, 30 IL was in
al the other counties and so II was also with
all the other roads in the state. The large
debts contracted in the building, ironing and
equipping Of the roads were IN existence at
the time the war commend ed, and while the
roads were making nothing, and in fact were
being seriously injured, the debts were con-
stautly increasing by an accum ulaIiOn or
unpaid interest. On this account the value
OF stock in the roads were ia many ms ances
dest-Uyed Ia Georgia they pursued q
different plan. They built their roads with
out borrowing much money, and the cOnSe-
Quence has been that their railroad stocks
have been valuable. A railroad company
may AFFORD 10 borrow six or eight thousand
dollars per mile with impunity, but When-
ever they have TO borrow as our tennessee
companies did, fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars per mile, they are IN danger OF
causing the stock in them 20 De valuelesS
The advantage OF the narrow-gsuge system is
that in no event viii il be necessary TO borrow
more than six or eight thousand dollars per
mile, and often much less, 70 iron and equip
them. After they are put in operation they
can do much business, caary as mucn
freight and as many passengers as are carried
on any railroad in Tennessee, at greatly re-
duced expense. This Is the reason why they
