Five and Ten Cent Counters.

The five and ten cent counter
trade, which appears to have started
as an advertising dodge, has proved
quite a phenomenon in business.
A year ago it was hardly known as
legitimate branch of trade, but
last December 1t had grown to such
proportions that wholesale houses
took it up. One concern in Boston
gave up its other business entirely,
and has been obliged to keep open
nights and treble its working force
to fill orders. This house is doing
business Of 100000 per annum,
which has been worked up without
drumming, but by means of circu-
lars scattered broadcast over the
country. On their list of goods are
300 five-cent articles and $50 of the
ten cent variety. The articles are
mostly tinware, iron, wood, glass
ware and crockery, and small
housekeeping goods, such as soaps,
brushes, handkerchiefs, towels, etc.
This trade covers New England and
the British provinces, and a branch
at Chicago does an immense bust
ness in the West. Whether this
phenomenon is to be explained by
a legitimate demand for these arti-
Giles or by an Innate fancy in the
Yankee mind for things that are
cheap, it is quite astonishing, and
has set good many branches of
manufacture into lively hum to
supply the goods for the trade.

Peaches in Tennessee.

D. F. Larkin of Franklin county,
Tenn, writes to the Fruit Recorder
as follows:
You speak of the Gov. Garland
peach in November number, and
say it is advertised in this number
l can't find it. Please inform me
who has it and his address, also
send me your catalogue and price
list of fruits. l would like to get
ten or a dozen varieties of the best
grapes, commencing with the earli-
est and running through the sea-
son, if / can get them at reasonable
rates, either this fall or next spring.
In Questions and Answers, Novem-
Der, you say Crawford's Early and
Late, and Stump the World are the
three largest freestone peaches;
you have not seen the Amelia,
Thurber, Reeves FavoriUe and Gay
lord. You say Crawford's Late
and Wards Late are the latest free
stones. 1 have them six weeks to
two months later, but perhaps they
would not ripen in your latitude.
You say the three largest cling
stones are Alexander, Old Nixon
and Heath; you ought to see Chi
nese Cling, Mitchell, Mammoth and
others. You class Alexander and
Hale's as both cling and free. l
have a peach fruited this year for
the first time, that is the only pure
freestone among all the early
peaches / have seen. 1t ripens
with Beatrice, but is more than
twice the size of it; beautiful and
highly favored.

politics, never read q paper, and
take great pride in their apathy.
These care nothing for amor pdtrie;
they pay their taxes because they
can't help it, but honestly believe
the Tax Collector steals every cent
of it. They believe hand work far
more valuable than brain-w work, and
think fifty cents day and board is
big pay for any work, whether for
Governor or making rails. Added
to all these different classes there
was a general carelessness that can
not be explained on any other prin-
ciple than an indifference to the re-
suit. Some didn't believe we owed
the debt, and some did, but neither
were satisfied as to the best means
of settling it. These let it go by
defaults. Then, lastly, great
many believe that the debt was
just; that the settlement was fair
and ought to be paid by the State,
but they did not believe honestly
that the bondholders had accepted
the terms in a legal manner, and
being opposed to settlement, and
being opposed to coercing them to
settlement, and yet not wishing to
record their votes against it, they
simply remained away. Weren't
these enough to kill 1t, if 1t is dead.

LEFT THE STAGE.
Anna Berger Married-No Bells but
Wedding Bells for Her.

Dramatic News: Miss Anna Te-
resa Berger has for several years
past been the principal attraction OF
the Berger Family, one of the most
successful com binations which trav-
ell. She is a comely little lady, well
informed, very clever. and general
favorite among those who know her.
Mr.. Leender S. Lynch, better
known as Leigh Lynch, is, on the
other hand, a well-known agent, and
a man of interchangeable industry.
For two years and half Mr.. Lynch
sincerely loved Miss Berger, and for
the same time Miss Berger has re
turned the affection. As the afec-
ton ripened and grew the other
members of the Berger family be-
came alarmed. They did not want
to see Anna Teresa married, for if
she lett the company it would mean
the loss of their prestige and name
to no small extent. They, there
fore, set about investigating Mr..
Lynch's character, and they found
that in some places and to some
people he owed money. This fact
was exaggerated into a crime, and
everything that could be detriment-
al to. Mr.. Lynch was carried to Miss
Berger's ears. The course of true
love in this instance ran smooth,
and the brave little woman,
instead of lending an ear to
the stories against the man she
loved, turned deaf ear, and pro-
claimed her affection for him. THIS,
of course, made poor Leigh Lynch
tabooed in the family, and he ha6
a hard time of it, for even his visits
and his letters were intercepted.
But love is miraculously ingenious,
and in spite of all he succeeded in
occasionally seeing her and writing
her as well. After long tour Fred.
Berger, and his sister, Anna Teresa,
arrived in this city a little over a
week ago. Lynch was in Chicago.
He saw her. On Tuesday after
noon Anna Teresa Berger left the
hotel In a carriage. At Deans, on
Broadway, she met Mr.. Lynch. A
ndO anu OAC
three got into the carriage and
drove down Seventeenth street to
Second avenue, alIghting at the
house of the Rev. Mr.. Goodsell. In
ten minutes he made them one. In
her little jacket and plain summer
dress few brides can look prettier
than did Miss Berger, and few
brides went more bravely through
an ordeal which, in this case, re-
quired an extra amount of courage.
The parties then drove to their new
residence. on Twenty-ninth street.
Mrs. Lynch leaves the stage hence
forth, and she not only leaves the
stage, but she makes no demand
whatever on her family for the
amount she has earned as member
of the Bergers. This course was
the advice of her husband, who said
that otherwise people might say he
her for her money.

A Candid Confession.

Memphis Avalanche: Memphis
/ is an island. Oceans, seas and riv
ers of quarantine surround the ill
tatted city on every side. There i:
no health in us. So say the outside
world Providence is not the au.
thor of our woes. 1t is all our OWL
fault. So say the outside world
And the world is doubtless right in
its judgement. While thus envel-
oped in a night OF woe, girded with
relentless Gordon of official quar-
antine, and no dead to bury to
speak of, we have leasure to rumi-
nate on our sins of omission. For
it must be said that our shortcom-
ings are none other than emitting
to perform those acts of cleanliness
that are necessary to be performed,
if our people desire to live in a
healthy city, free from epidemics.
The present citizen fully under
stands the condition of affairs. He
knows lntuitively that the death
dealing vaults upon which Mem
phis stands are the cause of all our
woes. He does not ask for a scien-
tific diagnosis. 1t is one of those
self evident propositions that no
one can dispute. The power to
remedy these evils does not exist.
When the city is reinhabited with
her now absent population they
will be able, if they give a long pull
and a strong pull, all together, to
radically regenerate this city and
make it in the future in reality,
what it is now to the eye alone, one
of the fairest cities the sun ever
shone on.

A correspondent, writing from
the Sandwich Islands, says that du-
ring a long life spent in tropical
fever districts he has been able to
escape infection and miasma by the
use of gunpowder, supplemented by
few single precautions against
sudden changes of temperature, sun
stroke, bad water and the like. He
uses no water that has not been
boiled and afterward kept from air
intact: but his main reliance is
upon the practice of burning a
thimbleful of gundowder in his bed
room and very small quantities in
his trunk, wardrobe, ETC., so as to
keep his clothes feebly charged
with gunpowder gas. In Madagas-
car. Reunion, Mauritius, the east
coast of tropic Africa, and other
fever smitten lands. he has found
such simple means a sure preventive
of epidemic diseases, and he has
thereby been often brought to the
philosophic reflection that gunpow
der is destined to invert the aim in
tended by its fabrication.

Still to be Settled.

So much for extra. constitutions
remedies. In this republican gov
eminent an attempt to play out q
little piece of pure democl acy de
served the fate it got. Demagogues
raised the cry, and In a moment OF
weakness and foundering around
for at once party harmony and a
resolution, better men took it up.
1t went to the logical conclusion.
If it had carried, it would have
been a settlement not because of
the vote but because the Legisla-
ture would have carried it out. Per-
haps it is just as well that we have
played the farce out and demonstra-
ted that, after all, those who formed
this republic with representative
government, where the people act
only through representatives were
right. We have before given our
views concerning this method of ap-
peal to the ballot box. Our views
have only been confirmed. I he
people must indeed settle this ques-
ton, but they must settle it through
their representatives. The submits
sion settled nothing. 1t is to-day
where it was before-a debt of
S24, 100000 to be settled. IT, is in
some respects, through discussion,
in better shape. The people, hav-
ing had their say about what they
have been pleased to term dictation,
will begin to think and reason more
and more, as they were already do
ing before the election, and to &C
quire better information and form
a calmer judgment.
1t is competent now to make the
same proposition. II the creditors
will accept it, well; if not, it will
still be a debt demanding settle
ment. Those who are willing to
accept will be likely still to accept.
The matter must be made the sub
ject of thorough discussion. Our
lines have been formed and they
must not give way. There is no
need to be disheartened, for the
public sentiment has already exhib-
tied a marked Improvement.
Whether we will or not, the issue
is before as, and there is but one
way out of it. There may be mi
nor differences of opinion as to
means, but, as to the end, the
Thoughtful people of the State are
generally agreed tnat its honor and
good name must be preserved, and
most of those who voted wrong
this time did SO under a false
impression made by misrepresen
tation and want of knowledge of
facts American.

The New York Observer states
some historical facts about Masonry
that may be of interest to the gen.
eral reader:
Those brethren who contend so
zealously for the Old Testament
Masonry forget that for many cen
turtles, in England and on the CONT
nent of Europe, men were required
to be Christians, to acknowledge
the supremacy of the Pope, and be
of the Catholic faith. That in
France, at one time, they were
called ''Pontificial Brothers" The
Church was their chief patron, and
gave them employment in the build
ing of cathedrals, monasteries,
churches, etc. The Pope issued
bulls in their favor, and held out
inducements to become Masons.
The highest dignitaries of the
Church were initiated into the or
der, and sought to control it As
late as the rupture between Henry
VII. and the Pope, about 1929, Car
dinal Wolsey was Grand Master of
Masons In England.
We have not the statistics of Ma
sorry before US, but from general
recollection we think we are safe in
estimating that SO per cent, of all
acknowledged genuine Masons in
the world are Christians and Jews;
of these "a per cent. are st least
nominal Christians, and of them 80
per cent. are English speaking, and
65 per cent. of all the Masons in
the world are in the United States
and Canada. Masonry does not
now, nor has it for a thousand
years, prospered and fourished in
any country in which the Christian
religion is not taught,

Cuba's taxation burdens are i'm
mense. For instance, a barrel of
flour costs in the United States
$3.50 and after paying duties, war
tax, ETC., 1t costs the consumer in
first hands $I5 to $3.50. AS Cuba
does not raise wheat, the effect of
this high duty and tax can be east
ly realized. The rate of taxation
in Cuba per capita, for her entire
population, is $30.75, and including
only the free population it is
$34.50-the highest of any country
in the world, the rate in the United
States being $5.57.

A Man Who Stopped Republication,

Years ago Illinois was poor and
burdened with debt of seven mil
lions of dollars. A large part OF
the Indebtedness had been created in
order to carry out a system of in
ternal improvements. The PEG pie,
finding it difficult to pay their tax
es, talked loudly of reputation. A
convention met at Springfield, the
capital of the State, to voice the
popular feeling. The repudiating
ordinance was prepared. 1t would
have been adopted but for the in
reference of one man. The Incl
dent is thus described by the New
Orleans Times:
The convention met, and the re-
pudiation ordinance was prepared.
1t was about being adopted when
Stephen A. Douglas, who was sick
at his hotel, asked to be taken into
the convention. He was carried on
a mattress, and lying on his back,
for he was too i'll to sit up, he wrote
the following resolution, which he
offered as substitute for the repu
diation ordinance:
"Resolyed, That Illinois will be
honest, although she never pays a
cent"
The resolution took like wildfire.
1t touched the honest sentiment of
every member of the convention. 1t
was adopted with the widest enthu
siasm. 1t dealt a death blow to the
reputation sentiment throughout
the State.
The canal bonds Immediately ad
vanced in value, and in a short
time were quoted at par. Tele-
grams were received from New
York that Illinois could have all
the money she wanted.
What was the result? Capital
and emigration flowed into the
State, and Illinois is to-day one of
the most prosperous States in the
Union.
She has more miles of railway
than any of the other States. Her
broad prairies are one great grain
field and are dotted with hundreds
of thousands Of peaceful, happy
homes. Thriving cities and beauti-
full villages are found everywhere
within her borders.
This is what honesty would have
done for Illinois. What would re-
pudiation have done?
