Tuere is nothing more desirable In life
tnau- the knowledge whe,her you are max
/ ing n iool OF yourself or not. 1t often lines
happens that man regards his words as
wise when they are really silly., He may
think he is making a profound impression,
that his bearers are startled BY hls utter.
ances Of wisdom, and engaged in contem-
plating the visor and extraordinary eapsci-
| ty OF his intellect, while all the time they
are occupied with wonder that he can be
| such an asf. t ..
There are many men who act on the pre-
sumption that women are fools. Though
| they may have failed IN deceiviug men as
to their Ability, they think they can cheat
| women 10 that regard. But women are net
fools, by any means, and their JUDGMENT Of
the yalue of q man Is not bad. Tney are
observing people, and they are as quick TO
detect fraud as the rest Of Us. 1t Is fool
ish man who assumes that he can cheat
woman, though bad men may play on her
suscsptibiiities aud lead her into paths apart
from those trodden by the good. 1t is al
ways mean manwho ak ,s advantage OF the

who fan lies he does not display TO her the
" Weaknesses of his own chara,t,r. n .
These valuable Thoughts occur to us as we
read over lhs subjoined letter:
"Sir: appeal to you for an opinion in
my case. A young lady to whom / was
telling little Sunbeam about peaches be-
ing so plenty at some point in the South
that they were fed to hogs, answered thus /:
Don't you wish you were there (" Now,
then, il she is so sharp anj acidulous while
single, would marriage be likely to increase
or diminish the trounie? A. BoSE"
No, we do not think So at all. We the
rather look on her as q sensible girl, acute
iu ner Judgment of character. She saw that
you were trying 10 be wise, without success,
perhaps, ana being an attentive reader OF
the Sun, Of which the Sunbeam column is
one Of the most desirable features, she gave
you polite set-down. Tue probability is
that, spite of your fancied wit, she regarded
you as a bore, and wished to be rad OF YOU
sun her words were otf-nsive, true though
they may have been,
Peaches, tins season, have been abundant,
but, after all, 1t has not been easy to get
tirst>claks peach, one OF the triumphs OF na-
ture in the way OF fruits. or al the fruits
allowed humanity. the pear Is, after ali, the
best; but peaches are desired by most peo-
pie, and they should b. cultivated with
care. Tie esta 0lishment of peach orchard
requires time, and awakens the deepes, So
! cltude OF the owner. No fruit looks bet
ter on the tree than peach. rs blooming
and dimpled countenanee delights the hus-
bandm al perhaps more than its tlste does
the one who eats the vegetable.
Sail, We do not blame the girl for her SAL
ly. Soc probably thought YOU deserved it,
aud, bitter MS her reply may have been. she
doubtless meant it in kinuness. 1t the re-
suit shall be that you will never again make

CORNELL'S CHALLENGE TO

from Washington. In fact it is very
shabby.
Mr. Cornell, the Naval Officer OF
New York has carried through about
the most successful snub ofMr. HAYES
tlat has ever been attempted on an
American official. Hayes said Cor
nell must resign his committeeship or
his Federal Office, under penalty of
removal from the latter. Cornell
backed by Conkliag, said he wouldn't
and, it is well understood. challenged
the De Facto to do his worst.
On the one side was the general
order TO offceholders, and on the
other Conkling's opposition in the
Senate. Hayes wilted, and, under
the influence of Secretary Sherman,
suspended the civil service order un-
til after the fall elections, with an
intimation that Cornell will have to
walk the plank then.
Now that the machine politicians
have got his Fraudulency down, they
will do with him pretty much as they
list. We congratulate Russell Err
rett and Mackey. 1t is part of
their fight.

ANoyEL INVENTION.

There is every reason to believe
that the union Of which all railroad
brakemen are members impose dire
penalties and punishments upon any
man who pronounees the name of a
station so that it can be understood.
1t is not on record that a brakeman
has ever been charged with the of
fence, but the rule remains. We
long ago heard of the "station-indi-
Gator" and believe it was used on
some of the roads for . short time,
but nsthing has been said Of it fer a
long while. 1t appears as the patent
invention of Lieutenant j. n. Gray
don, of the United States navy, and
as it is really useful, if not an actu
ally necessary device, we give its
description. tits intended to be
employed on railroad or street-car
to show passengers the name of the
station, city, town, or street they
are approaching. The names are
placed upon an apron that is moved
by two revolving cylinders, which
are turned by means of a rod extend
ing down through the forward part
of the car. At the base of the rod
is shoe, placed near to andl inside
of the forward wheel, At a point
near each station is an inclined
plane about an inch and half high,
made stationary on the track. TIE
shoe, when the car is moving, strikes
this plane, causing the cylinder plac-
ed in the ear TO revolve, thus dis
playing at every revolution a name
marked on the apron. In front of
the shoe is a wire broom, which
keeps it free from all distractions.
A strong spiral spring is so arranged
as to take all excess Of motion i'm
parted by joltingor the cars being
leavily loaded. Should this come
nto general use it will be a pleasant
novelty in railroad travelling to

Pennsylvania Railroad officials that their trains

| dicts ensucd when an attempt was made to run
them, he started for Harrisburg, aud en- routa
received d telegram from the Sheriff OF Ale

and were stopping railway trains. It cannot
be doubted that, if the disorder in
Pittsburg had been promptly suppressed,
little OF no trouble would have occurred

troops under mis- command at Pttsburg. Jn}v

were getting worse, four other Divisions we're
ordered under arms Upon his arrival, he was
astnnished to find that public sentiment was In
accord and sympathy with the strikers,
TiIs sentiment was surprisingly Bit
