The conductor of one of the Central
Hudson trains placed three aged people
in charge of Officer Charles Clark ut the
depot, to be escorted to one of the hotels.
On the walk from the depot the old gen.
tleman walked of quite briskly, and re-
marked to Officer Clark: "You are in
charge of three pretty old people, Mr..
Policeman. How hold do you think l

Officer Clark-Oh, abcut IS or there

he did 90. Further inquiry revealed the
fact that the old gentleman told the

Independent CHRIS.

There is growing up among the more
intelligent young women OF this city q
desire to be independent. They want
some means for earning living, so
that they may be independent in the
matter of support even of husband.
There is great deal of education not
taught in the schools. 1t is an education
of the young which comes of family train
ing and of observation. Marriage Is no
longer preached either as duty or as the
acme of lasting humane bliss. Con-
scientious mothers. who have taken 1t all
in. are advising daughters not to marry
for mere sake OF Catching husband,
nor merely to he supported by husband:
Sensible, observing girls have watched
and noted the results OF marriage among
their companions and former school
mates. the general verdict on the subject
is not favorable.
The average New York girl, whether
of the store, workshop or the boudoir: IS
still as pretty an idiot 40 ever on this
subject. Her dream is the nice young

Mrs. Busyhanl's Diary.

August 2..-This morning we had at
breakfast what we know in the family as
"bread hash balls" 1 have found by
experience that it is an improvement on
hash as it is usually made. 1t is most
appetizing dish, and had the added
recommendation that it uses up the
scraps of meat, bread and potatoes. Any
kind of cold meat can be used, either
beef, mutton or veal, or all three mixed
together. II liked, q small slice OF ham
or bacon may be added. The meat
should be chopped very fine, quite as
fine as if for mince meat. To each tea
cupful of chopped meat add one teacup-
full of stale bread crumbs. If the bread
is very hard, it should be broken into
small pieces and rolled with the
rollingpin. Mix the meat and bread
crumbs together, moisten with four table
spoonfuls of milk; season well with salt
and pepper. Make into balls with the
hands, and fry brown with meat drip
pings. Godfrey thinks onion an addi-
ton to be desired, so often put in one
small one, chopped fine; and if l have
few cold potatoes left from the day be-
fore. add them. Sometimes, when l
am in a great hurry, do not take time
to make it into balls, but put it into the
frying pan aud let it fry until brown on
the under side.

Elk Senator James Il. Bailey made
lengthy speech, in which he saip
that the committee had been invited
by its low tax friends to abandon its
organization and TO ceme into their
organization-in other words invited
TO harmonic. He had all his life
ught harmonious intercourse, not
outstanding family differences, but
be never wanted to harmonic except
upon principles that would be lasting.
He was for harmony, but not at the
sacrifice Of principle. His low tax
friends declared, 10 1880, that the
State only owed $2,00O,00O. The State
credit Democrats declared that the
State owed the entire debt and that /.
never would repudiate it. They also
declared that they were in favor of
settling the debt on such terms as
could be agreed upon. He believed
that if Tennessee had met its
obligations and paid the interest
on the debt in 1870 the State
Of Tennessee would have been
worth 500, 900, 900 more than at pres.
ent. 1t was an absolute necessity 10
settle the debt in order 10 have wealth
and prosperity prevail. He desired to
sec the debt settled. lie desired the
success Of his party because, IL prop.
.rly organized, it would do right and
be just. His low tax friends believed
that the State did not owe the debt;
the State credit element believed il
did. Let them harmonic for the
purpose Of paying the debt. Outside
Of Tennessee there was but one opin
ion, and that was that Tennessee owed
and was able 10 pay the debt. But il
proposed 10 harmonic differences at
the expense Of somebody else. In the
language Of Stephen A. Douglas,
Lets resolve 10 be honest
The question was whether for tenn
porary success they would sacrifice
\ principles that would endure for
ever. Would they sacrifice the
bondholders' claims merely to
secure harmony The honor aud in.

ocratic candidates in the field, then
there is no doubt Of Hawkins cleo
ton, and this is more than we can
now say Of any other man, for none
other has ever done so much. We

We were informed by a stanch Re-
publican during the present week that
there was an effort being made by
some TO defeat convention. We are
sorry to learn this, and we would like
for the discontents to answer US, why
a party in the majority should ask
such thing? Don't every sensible
man know that a divided majority
always causes the minority to vote
solid. And with two Republican
candidates for any Office. with any
thing like an equal division, gives the
chances in favor Of the opposition,
Although were il not for the wonderl
