WASHINGTON,

Counsel tor both the defense and prose-
cution have had consultation with Presi-
dent Arthur, and he has refused to take
the stand and be subjected to such quest
ions, as Senator Davis was on the Guiteau
case.
Congressman Cox, of New York, has
prepared bill to increase the pay of keep
ers of life saving stations, and provide for
the pensions to families of men in that ser
vice who may lose their lives in it. He
also proposes fifteen additional life-saving
stations on the great lakes and the At
lantIc Coast.
To prepare the foundation for legislation
that shall settle in advance of future con-
tingencies something that might cause seri-
Gus trouble, Senator Beck will introduce a
resolution directing the Judiciary COM
mittee to consider what is mean in the
Constitution by presidential ''inability,"
how this inability should be determined,
and in general what legislation is neces-
sary to carry out the provisions OF the con-
stitution as to the presidential succession.
1t is thought that the Garfield case will
lead 10 the necessary legislation on these
questions this season.

Guatemala Women in the surf.

We landed at Champarco. It's
thatched huts sheltered by royal palms
and surrounded by orange groves,
presented the ideal tropical picture,
which was well confirmed by the fer
vent heat of the sun. Our curiosity
being soon gratifed, we strolled down
to the beach. Several hundred men,
women, maids, youth and children
were tossing and foundering in the
fOamy SURF, the large majority of them
being unencumbered by even so much
as linen collar.
''There's your bright bronzed maid
ems of the sum-" exclaimed our poet in
raptures.
How about the sharks !" exclaimed
more practical traveller, when it was
proposed that we join the bathers.
"Oh, they won't touch you in the
SURF" a jolly tar replied. 'T've never
heard of anybody being hurt by a
shark in the surf They can't see in
the surf"
COnfiding in this pleasant theory,
we participated in the general enjoy
memts. The brown senorisis mani
tested no surprise nor disapproval,
and assumed no prUdish airs They
laughed, shouted, and plunged into
the roaring breakers with as muck in
difference as though they wore the
II Ost elegant bathing costumes ever
manufactured. The women in Cen
trail America are famous for beauty of
form, which is chiefly due to the fact
they ignore those appliances Of civ
ilizatiOn that twist their paler sisters

WOrl1ingmen, is it not better to buy

Is it not better 10 lay by a little for a
rainy day than to spend hard-earned
money in drunken reyelry? Is it not
better to have the love and respect of
your wife and family than to have the
smiles of Iandlady? Is itnot better
to feather your own nest than to be
plucked by a rumseller? Is it not bet
ter to keep All aged father or mother
at your own freside than help buy
silks and satins for the family of a
ginseller? Is it not better to clothe
and educate your own children than
TO do it for the children Of q saloon
keeper? Is it not better to have the
approval of a good conscience for do
ing what is right than the reproaches
OF bad one for doing what's wrong (?
Is ii not better TO enjoy the real bless
ings of God, which endureth forever,
than the false pleasure of Sa tan, which
end ia ruin? Is 1t not better so to live
that YOU viii not fear to die2 Is it
not better to have the good opinioh Of
the intelligent and respectable portion
of the community than it is 10 have
the goodwill of the low and debauch-
ed +? Finally, is it not better to have
this death-deaIin9 traffic in intoXica-
ting drinks removed from our land
Would not our land be better for it !?
Would not many a home be made
happier? Would not a bright and in
telligent boy be saved from a life of
sin and misery? Would not many a
heart-brOken wife and mother be
made to rejoice? Would not many a
fallen one be rescued; and would not
everybody be the better for it Work
ingmen, think the matter over. Look
the issue square in the face, and then
decide whether you are in favor of do
ing away with this traffic or not. If

There is no reason why, in the
course of time, we can not still fur
ther improve and develop the staple
of our cottO@. In former days some
sea-island cotton was raised in the
vicinity of this city, espeeia y on the
Mississippi coast, where il did well,
but this crop has latterly been given
up.
Our planters now show the neces-
sary care in the selection Of seed. On
this point there are great difference of
opinion among them, and each planter
has his favorite seed. which he thinks
the best suited to the climate and
land. The census authorities made
an investigation into this question in
this State, and found more than
twenty varieties of seed planted in
this State. 1t would be to the ad-
vantage of the planters if each of
these varieties could be practically
tested, so that they could learn some
thing as to the merits of the different
species of seed. Something Of this
kind was promised by the Atlanta
cotton exposition.
