AN ECCENTRIC FELLOW PASSENGER.

A well dressed gentleman, wearing a
brown mustache, kid gloves, shiny
silk hat, and a cane with a silver head,
amused himself catching a mouse in the
gutter at Fayette and Eutaw streets,
Baltimore, recently, while waiting for a
Fayette street car. He labored for some
time with gloves and cane, and finally
brought forth the ridiculous mouse, and
then he ran, holding it by the tail, in 10
the street car. The car was partly
filled with ladies, who at the sight of the
mouse went of into the dainty little
screams habitual to them when they see
big bug or a little mouse.
Shrinking forms Quailed before the
blushlDg mOuser as he passed through
The car 10 his place, looking red and hot
tive in his glove, and then put 1t in his
coat-pocket.
Iu a short while he exclaimed:
"Oh, it is gone!' and looked about the
floor as though searching there for IL,

ing the mouse in the tail OF the gentle
mans coat, where it had retreated
through hole in the pocket-lining. The
mouse was again brought forth in tri.

The victor said he had caught 1t for
his dog, and finally, to make sure Of it,
placed it in his hat, where lor the rest OF
the ride it enjoyed The exercise of skim

the incident to observe how a youns

Suppose that course had been pursued,
what OF itf The army is not matter of
any special Importance except to mill
tary officers and Sitting Bull. There is
not enough of it even to form
a nucleus to rally around should a
real need for an army arise. When-
ever such a misfortune befalls this
country as the necessity for an army
it will not take many days to put 1t In
the field. 1t is upon the citizens Of the
country, VINO, while pursuing th0ir daily
avocations, stand ever ready to answer
her taintest call, she depends in time Of
danger, and not upon the few men who
compose the regular army. 1t is right
that small army be maintained. There
are many needs for it, and, this being
the case, the men should be promptly
paid; but the passing over OF a sin-
gle payday will do no great harm to any
one. and is not more Of an inconv enience
to the soldier than most civilians have
| frequently to encounter. Nor on the
other hand would a disbanding Of the
entire army have caused any great dis.
aster to the coun try. Men who were un
der contract to serve a certain time
would have recovered some time in the
future pay for the service they were no,
permitted to render, and the course
would have been anything but an econ
omioal one, but the country would have
moved on just as usual, and had al
emergency arisen for troops 1t would
have been promptly met.

Southern State Debts.

The following is an interesting state
mcnt regarding the Southern States
debt:
Virginia. whose State debt in 1870
was S45, 100000. has reduced it to
S3O,OOO,O 900 by funding operations, and
she now proposes to ~ al just it by Il
further reduction.
Tennessee proposes to compromise
her debt of S23, OO0 900 by paying
Sl3 600 900.
Georgia has wiped out Sc 600, 600 Of
her bonded debt on the ground Of
fraudulent issue.
North Carolina has omitted for
three years to levy OF collect any taxes
Tor her debt, simply because her cred
ltois refuse to accept u compromise
she offered.
Alabama has compromised her debt
OF S27 ,OOO, 600, reducing it practically
to a few thousand dollars.
South Carolina, after compromising
her debt by a rejection Of $4,000. 900
and consolidating the balance at 80
cents on the dollar, now has under
consideration II project Of rejecting a
further portion Of the SO. 100000 left.

Hayes IL not the first President
against whom the charge Of fraudulent
election has been brought, John Quin-
cy Adams vas Overwhelmingly defeat
ed by Andrew Jackson both on the
popular and electoral vote, but the
election was thrown into the House OF
Representatives on account Of the can
dldacy Of Clay and Crawford, Mr.,
Adams became President, and the
echoes Of the "inmmous bargain and
sale" with Clay have hardly yet dlsap~
p"ared into history. The repeal Of the
Wing registry law in New York mainly
aided in making Polk President over
Clay by what was then charged as
'downright fraud" Both John Quin-
cy Adams and Polk made good prcsi
dents, and their administrations were
c%mincntIy successful, but the charges
of fraud that clnulrd thci. titles was a
milestone about the neck Of their res
pective parties aud sank them out OF
sight at the ensuing election. The in.
s'aIIotion Of the Wing, Adams, as
President in 1924, was lepudiated by
the election Of the Democrat, Jackson,
in 1928. The installation Of Polk ao
PRESIDENT, in 1874, was followed by
the election Of the Wing. Tal lor. in
1913. Judged by these preccdcnts the
installation Of Hayes, in 1876, nc less
certainly is Il precursor Of the success
OF The opposition party at the next cleo
ton.
The President made a very sensible
speech TO the coIored people at Allan
ta, One paragraph deserves especial
notice. After some preliminary re.
marks, the President said:
"What troubles our people at the
North-what has troubled them was.
they feared that these colorcd people,
who had been made fee by the war,

al government. Immense enthu
thIasm and cheering. lasting several
minutes Aud now, my colorcd

died early in the morning, and the
