Waiting for the Street Cars.


The other night, when the cold was
at it's coldest, and the freeze at it's
freoziest, there was shivering indi-
vidnal hugging the corner of Ala
bama and Whitehall streets. His
hands were thrust into his pockets as
there was diamond at the bot
tom of each, and his thin coat was
buttoned so tightly around him that
the print of his ribs stood out boldly
but coldly. ....
what's the matter with you jake
why don't you 90 home? inquired
passing friend.
We'll, I goes right away quick if
der street gar Gums 'long' .......
People passed and repassed, but
the familiar jingle of the street car
bell was not heard. Hour after hour
dragged slowly by, and our Dutch
friend shivered on.
Growing impatient he hailed q
man and asked:
'Vot's de madder NIT does sdreet

'They arc not running now-they

A CURE FoR DIPHTuER1A.--Dr.
Chenery, of Boston, has lately dis
covered that hyposulphate of soda is
the specific remedy against diphthe-
ria-that 80 much dreaded ailment,
which of late years has carried off
many valuable lives. He reports q
very large number of cases (l5S
within his own |practice) saved by
the use Of this remedy. The dose Of
the hyposulphate is from to Is
grains or more in syrup, every two
or tour hours, according to age and
circumstance. It can do no harm,
but if too much is given it will purge;
as much as the patient can bear with>
out purging is good rule in the se>
verer cases. The solution or mixture
can be used in doses of five drops to
half dracbmn in milk. The amount
for thorough stimulation is greater
than can be taken in water. The
doctor usually gives it in such doses
as can be easily taken in milk, using
milk besides as food for small chill
dren. One fact, however, needs to
be borne in mind, namely, the hypo~
sulphate prevents the digestion of
milk, and it should not be given in
less than an hour attor taking the
medicine. They may be used alter.
nately, however, without interference
in sufficient frequent doses.

Raising Provisions for LabOrers

The laborers on every farm should
raise the food they consume. If the
farmers does not wish to take the rick
let him arrange with the hands to
cultivate for themselves, under his
direction and control, sufficient crops
of corn and wheat (not cotton) to cup.
ply themselves and families with
bread. The farmer can secure tor
himself the rent of land thus planted
and receive pay in work for the use
of teams and implements, and thus
lose nothing. On the other hand the
laborer will secure his bread much
cheaper than he can in any other
manner. AS to meat it would be
better-to avoid complicatien--for
the farmer to take the whole of that
matter into his own bands, and fur~
nish his laborers. As heretofore
shown, hogs can be raised very
cheaply BY utilizing wild fruit bearing
trees, and planting crops of potatoes,
chufas, etc.
1t will be observed that the course
recommended above, if carried ont,
would utilize a large portion of our
abundant lands now idle. Instead of
the negro population being fed from
lands cultivated in the Northwestern
States, and his money passing
through the merchant into the pockets
of Northwestern farmers, be would
be supported from the lands of che
Southern farmers, and they (the farm.
ers,) receive practically the rent of a
vast quantity of land now entirely
unproductive.

in their mouths. He cautioned thom
against it, and told thcm of q story of
q boy who stuck his tongue on an iron
lamp post on q cod morning. The
boys remembered that story, and ycs>
terday one of them resolved to test it
to SOC whether tho cold man" liod or
not. This morning was intensely
cold, and the boy went up to lamp
post, in front OF Col. Roid's residence,
and stuck his tongue to it. Ho found
it was just as the cold man" said.-
Finally he gave jork and loft big
piece of his tongue adhoring to the
post. He went down town to his
father with his mouth full of blood
when the sold man" asked him what
was the matter. Splitting out q
mouthful of blood, be answered: cob,
nothing much--I'vo been trying yer

Keeping tho Door Shut

he reached his Office he determined
to keep the door shut and thus keep
aloof from cold currents of air that
might enter.
When the fire in the room had
about heated up the room, and
Thompson was fairly sunk into the
dispatches in the morning paper,
some one entered and as usual left
the door open.
Shut the door, you idiot; were you
born in saw milll' he yelled.
The fellow went back and gave the
door slam that astonished the key
hole.
BY and-by the boy came in with
wood for the fire. Of course he left
the door open.
Shut that doorp
The boy dropped his wood and
obeyed the summons.
The next conner was an old man,
whose hair was silvered and his form
bent. He was on begging expe-
dition, and when he came in he left
the door open wide enough to let in
an OK.
Shut the doorl' howled Thompson.
The old man paused, and kept the
door open and said slowly:
'Tm poor old man without
crumb to eat.'
Don't care who the devil you are
shut the doorl'
Don't speak 30 harsh to an old
man-1ll go out in minute.'
'Either come in or 60 out-but shut
the door,
The old man studied a little but
made no effort to shut the door.
Thompson could stand it no long
er. Jumping up from his seat, he
gave the door a gentle shove which
broke the lock and shook the glass
ont of the window. Then he nailed
up she door, sat down and felt like
he had conquered a nation.
The old man then wanted to 90
out. He said he didn't want to stay
with man who was so particular.
Thompson asked him why the dick
ems he didn't 60 out when the door
was open.
See bere,' said the begger, as he
c1asped both hands on the head of
his stick and leaned forward, Sup
pose some day you are put in a room

Thompson laid down his paper and
began to weaken.

There is considerable discussion 60
ing on about the necessity Of a standing
army in this country, by the public
press. Discussion ON that point il
seems 10 us is quite superfluous. We
have no need of an army at all, We
are in no danger of attack from any for
eigu power, We are not threatened by
internal commotion OF any kind. Our
people are at peace.and desire to remain
so. A standing army is perpetual
menace to public order. 1t becomes
restless and must be kept employed.
Enormous armies are the bane of Eu-
rope, as the Turko- Russian war just
now amply testities. Without these
great masses Of men always held in
readiness for battle these powerful ma
:ions would have been slow to have en-
gagged in this sanguinary struggle. "A
few soldiers 10 take care Of the arsenals
and forts of the country is all that is re-
ouired here, The excuse that the army
is needed to keep the Indians in suhlec-
ton is the merest bosb. The Canadi-
ans REQUIRE no soldiers 10 look after the
Indians within their borders, and what
can be done by Canadians cante done
by Americans. The truth is, about the
only advocates of standing army are
the gentlemen who wear the epaulettes
and gilt but,ons, The uses to which
the army has lately been is sufficient
reason for its reduction to minimum
standard, aud we hope it will be done,

TEE DAATEaiORE Sun.

On Thursday of last week our valued
contemporary, tie Baltimore Sun, cele-
bra;ed the fortieih anniversary OF its
existence. The Sun, We wish to re-
mark just here, is q model newspaper In
every respect. Indeed we doubt wheth-
or it has its equal in the country. 1t is
the very essence of what a good news
paper should be, The Sun, during Its
long and extraordinarily successful ca
rcer, has always been the sturdy advo-
cate of the rights of the people, What
ever others might do its course was al
ways plain. 1t belongs to no party.
Whatever will benefit the great mass
of the people Will be sure to tind in 1t a
friend. 1t knows no sects. 1t has to
do with and for the public alone. Its
character in this respect is so well es-
tablished that it has virtually become
the tribune Of the people. 1t has al
ways been careful and discriminating in
the publication Of matter affecting the
public morals, and has thus become in
valuable to the family circle, and is
therefore "a welcome guest in almost
every household. Its success has been
remarkable, its efforts having been ap-
preciated to the largest extent pccuni-
arily. All this is the result OF its per-
feet reliability. 1t wW have the news,
no matter what the cost It's Briareas
arm, reach out everywhere. It's special
correspondence and special telegraphlc
dispatches are models in their way, en-
braeing the very body and spirit Of the
times We have said this much in re-
gard to our contemporary because we
desired to add oar testimony to It's great
worth, and TO express the wish that the
days OF its usefulness may reach far into
the future, and that the shadow OF Its
venerable proprietor and editor may
never grow less.

VIEWS or Nix. TILDES Washing
ton, May 22.-An eminent citizen OF
Alabama, who passed through Wash
ington yesterday OH his way back from
New York, had while in that city, an
interview with Mr.. Tilden. He said 10
Mr. Tilden, that the people of the South
were convinced that he had been fairly
and lawfully elected TO The Office OF
President of the United States; that the
people OF that section, in common with
the great body eft the people of the
whole United States, Il olght that Mr..
Tilden. as the lawfully elected ruler OF
the country, should have taken early
after the election decided attitude,
and insisted upon his rights; that had
he done so, and the proper announce
ment of the vote of the electoral col
legcs been prevented, the House Of Rep
reseEtatives would have elected him ac
curdng to the forms Of law, and made
itself responsible for his induction into
the Office which belonged TO him.
Mr.. Tillen listened intently 10 the re-
marks of his visitor, gentleman near
ly twenty years his senior. He replied
that he had thought carefully aud most
conscien,iously over the subject in all
its possible phases; that he mad become
convinced that should he adopt the
course suggested it would be resisted
by the radical party to the extent OF
drenching tho land in blood; that he
shrank from the responsibility of pre-
cipitating another terrible civil war up
on his c0unlrymer, ard consented to the
compromise which averted SO dread
disaster. He felt as keenly as any one
the improperly of the means by which
the present result had been brought
about, but, tor all that, he did not re-
cret lis own action. AS it was the peo-
Die of the United States understood IT:
the democratic party to day occupied
such proud attitude before the coun-
Try as it had never occupied before, and
no mortal power could resist its triumph
al march 10 success in 1880.
