The Magnolia gazette. [volume] (Magnolia, Miss.) 1872-current, 1881-08-05

The New York Times has pleasant
satire about the life of street car drivers
who work seventeen hours a day and
then complain that they have only seven
left in which to eat, sleep and play with
their babies. The trouble with the
street Car driver is, it says, that he does
not live in distant State and is not
picturesque and romantic like sailor.
II he We're, he would get sympathy
enough. They ought to be driving cars
in South Carolina. Continues the
Times:
s'We could then disclaim eloquently
concerning the separation Of families
caused by the hellish system which for
bids the father to see his children except
when they are asleep. We could de-
nounce the barbarism which compels
men to work for seventeen hours daily,
exposed to rain and snow, and frozen by
the bitter cold Of mid-winter nights. We
should find it easy to induce religious
bodies to pass resolutions condemning
the wickedness of the Charleston car
companies, which forbid their slaves to
attend any religious services on Sun
day or any other day. 1t would be in
Nitll lDE bHb OndIiSo IOuidub W ItDiJ Ullub
their car drivers are not slaves and that
they are free to leave the service Of the
companies and starve to death at any
moment. We should reply that such
was the freedom Of choice given to tho
slaves of Virginia, who could at any time
run away and hide themselves In the
Dismal Swamp, where they could either
starve or permit themselves to be shot
by slave hunters. No shallow sophistries
as to the right Of car companies TO buy
labor at the lowest market rates could
impose upon u.s. We would form our
''Anti-car Company" societies, and
eloquent professional orators would go
about the country stirring up the people
TO q proper state of indignation against
the oppressors Of the Charleston car
drivers. But how can we feel any indig-
nation concerning the treatment Of a
class Of men who live among us and
suffer under our very eyes? Clearly tho
thing is impossible, and the sooner our
car drivers recognize their great mistake
in not being South Carolinians or Louis
ianians the better.
There is lots of philosophy as well as
wit in this view which the Times takes
of the situation. Men are prone to look
at the evils which are at a distance
through telescope But when they
inspect those under their feet they turn
the instrument the other end to, making
the objects near them appear small and
Insignificant indeed.

A Peculiar Amiction.

Mr.. Edwin Cowles, the editor Of the
Cleveland Leader, has peculiar atilic-
tion. From boyhood he has been
nature of color blindness. He has never
heard the sound Of the birds, anduntil he
grew to manhood he had always thought
the music of birds was q poetic fiction.
s'You may fill the room with canary
birds, says Mr.. Cowles, aand they may
all sing at once and never would hear
q note, but ! would hear the futterings
Of their wings. never heard the hiss
ing sound Of the human voice, conse-
quently, not knowing the existence Of
that sound, ] grew up to manhood with
out ever making it in speech. A por-
tion of the consonants never hear, yet !
can hear all the yowels. About quar-
ter Of the sounds in tho human voice |
never hear, and I have to watch the
motion of the lips and be governed by
the sense Of the remarks in order to un-
derstand what is said to me. / have
walked by the side Of policeman going
home at night, and seen him blow his
whistle, and / never would hear it, al
though it could be heard by others half
a mile away. never heard the upper
notes Of piano, violin, or other musical
instrument, although would hear all
the lower notes" Mr.. Cowles has con
suited some Of the most eminent sur
geons, physicians, and aurists in the coun
try, and they are unanimous in declaring
his peculiar afiliction to be without
precedent
