A New Departure,

The Philadelphia Ledger says OF the
sum of $4,000 appropriated by the legisla-
ture Of Pennsylvania in 1877 for building two
additional wings to the eastern penitentiary,
which estimate was itself the result of close
calculation of its projected expense, the bal
snce ofSl 1888 is found iemlining. Now
that the wings are built ana occupied and all
expenses paid the board Of inspectorss-Sho
fully deserve their name-have directed re-
turn Of the balance to the state treasury. OF
all the ways of getting rid of an unexpected
balance this is the newest The inspectors
might have irescoed a committe room ceiling,
or had themselves painted in groupe publish
ed in an expensive volume, or they might
have given costly dinner to celebrate the
the house warming, or ordered in a liberal
supply of resorted refreshments for their own
further satisfaction, if they had been like 9th
er men. There are dozen ways at least
Of spending an unexpended balance which d,
not seem to have occurred to them. Wha
did occur to them, to keep within the appro
priation in the first place and hand over wha
was left of it back to the state, does not al
ways occur to other folks with balance @
public money on hand.

What the Country Needs,


A south Carolina paper correctly says the
country needs fewer men who seek office and
more men whom the Office seeks.
Fewer dogs and more sheep.
Fewer trucking demagogues who are any,
thing or nothing as interest dictates, and
more brave men who dare 10 do their own
thinking, and say what they think.
Fewer great men made to order, and of
small material, and thrust ia front of men
who have a capacity for greatness.
Fewer impetuous young men, eager to rush
into print and raise the devil generally.
Fewer wire-puIlers in popular convention
aud more people.
Fewer leaders to knuokle to popular pre-
iudice, and more real leaders to combat such
prejudiees when wrong
Fewer bar-Tcoms and more schools.
Fewer fences and more pastures.
Fewer scrub cattle and more good ones.

woman didn't never have more'n half a

as ef they was doll babies. An Dick be-
lieyed, or puuended to, that the hull kit of
female kind needed masters an pertectors as
much as the niger slaves down South,
This would set Ruth right up, for she didn't
believe in slavery, no how.

there was a picnic off to one Of the islands
