Newport.

Newport is a city about which no
two authorities agree. 1t is claimed
by one American writer that it is tho
"centre of refinement, fashion, intelli-
gence and wealth." Another, equally
eminent, declares it to be "shoddy,
pinchbeck and greasy with newly
acquired and vulgarly used wealth"
One noted English critic, who was
feted there last year, says that it is
the "heaven of the toady and the
snobt" while a Frenchmap, who had
similar experience, declares it to be
"the Mecca of the rich who can be
worshipped for nothing but their
wealth." A correspondent of the
London Globe says: at is the para.
disc of two sets of fools-the gilded
clique who spend tens of thousands
in the effert to outshine their neigh.
bors, and the obsequious clique that
beggars itself for the privilege of
witnessing the pitiful contest"

Topnoody is a character invented
by the Merchant Traveller, and that
periodical relates this of him:
Mr.. Topnoody and his wife went
to church last Sunday, and owing to
a good sermon and the warm wealth
er, Mrs. T. was quite impressed and
softened.
"Mr. Topnoody," sue said, more
gently than usual, ibid it ever occur
to you to think on what a slender
thread hang everlasting thingsa"
swell, no, my dear, l can't saw
that | ever examined the thread very
closely to see whether it was single
or double twist"
E"Mr. Topnoody, you should not
talk so lightly of solemn things.
Who knows that we may be alive to-
morrow9n
mo one, l suppose, my dear, and
in that respect we are as well posted
as our friends"
"You may scott and jeer as you
will, Mr.. Topnoody, but these sub
iects are not to be disregarded."
"Well, my dear, l am sure do not
disregard them. I'd like to know if
1 did not pay thousand dollars for
lot in the cemetery and spend five
hundred more 10 trimming it up and
making it comfortable2'
81 know that, but such work is
merely temporal. 1t is. the spiritual
which is more worthy of considera-
ton. What blessed feeling, Mr..
Tepnoody, it is to know that when
we have fulfilled our earthly mission
there is a home for US not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens, where
the wicked cease from troubling and
the weary are at rest"
eyes, love-" replied Mr.. T., slowly
and cautiously. 81 have thought Of
these things in connection with you
and myself and our pilgrimage here

Then Mr.. Topnoody got away be-

A FRANK STATEMENT.

The San Francisco Alta, which is
Democratic, has the courage to say
that sit is regretable that colored
citizens should receive the civil rights
decision of the United States Supreme
Court with ill.adyised demonstra-
tions of anger. In some of the
speeches made at the mass meetings
In San Francisco and other citiesit is
noticeable that the Court is spoken
of as if it were legislative body in
stead of judicial one, or as if it could
interpret the laws according to its
wishes instead of being compelled to
abide by precedents and settled can
ons of Interpretation. An honest
Court cannot consult personal or po-
litical preferences; it may be called
upon to pronounce unconstitutional
statutes which, for political reasons,
a majority Of the members would
rsther see upheld, and this is proba-
bly, the case in the civil rights decis-
inn

THE CONSTITUTION,

Nevada has a very good Constitu-
ton. True, it is in some respects a
little high pressured, but taken alto
gether it suits the requirements of the
occasion as we'll as does the organic
law of any State. There are few
defects which can be easily repaired
by the Legislature at slight cost,
but nearly every clanse has been sub.
jected to the scrutiny of the Court of
last resort, and it is known that most
of it will bear the test of judicial in
vestigation. In few trifing partic.
ulars beneficial changes might be
made; such as consolidation of State
and county offices. The consolida-
ton of counties needs no amendment,
the Legislature can make or unmake
counties when it sees fit; this is one
of the principal reasons for the anx-
iety displayed by some to have a
consolidation. In answer to the calls
for Convention Is 1t not a good idea
to suggest that those who 80 earnestly
desire a sweeping change should put
forward the alterations which seem
to be so urgently needed. Any
amendment which is meritorius can
receive the endorsement Of both
parties and there will be no difficulty
attending the passage of resolutions,
by the Legislature placing the need
ed improvements before the people.
Let those who are ravenous for amend
ment state their grievances. They
may easily publish such amendments
rs are desirable and if it will at all
conduce to greater economy in the
management of State and county bu-
siness, the people will vote to sus-
tain the measure.

THE DIFFERENCE.

They stood at the bar Of Justice
Two women with heads bowed down,
And one was dressed in rustling silk
And one in tattered gown.
One clad in the hight of fashion,
The other one ragged and torn;
The former inspiring sympathy,
The latter contempt and scorn.
"And why are they here% questioned;
"why are they in such disgrace?
The shrinking form in the tsttered gown
And that in the silk and lace?"
They're here" said the grim policeman
And frovn his visa &c face wore,
"For stea ling whenever they get chance
In fancy or dry goods store"
The one in rags was sentenced
To q years incarceration
In the common Jail; the one in silk
Was "tsken on probation"
Nov, why should this be SOP asked;
The answer was terse and brief;
Tho lady's kleptomaniac,
The one in rags thief"

THE New York Mining Re-
view says; In view of the immense
sums of money which have been ap-
propriated tor fish, sea bug North
Pole and astronomical expeditions,
it would seem as if the California
miners we're justified in asking an
appropriation to relieve the injuries
claimed to be done by the debris
from the mines, especially as they
agree to furnish an equal amount.
Congress spends millions of dollars
in the interest OF commerce, but as is
stated, nothing for the mining indus
try which, since 1s4s, has added
$2,15s, 100000 In gold and silver
alone to the substantial wealth of
this country, besides establishing
and supporting other industries,
which hive advanced the develop
ment of this country more than a
hundred years.

We have the sad intelligence of the

Georgia politics are getting hot and
personal, and the prospect is that they
will get so hot and SO personal that many
public men will do aud say things that
will damage their records" and turn
up for their annoyance or their damage
during their lives. The competition for
Governor has seemingly consolidated on
Acting-Governor Boynton and Major Ba-
con-the first championed by the astute
Constitution. and the latter by the bril-
liant and incisive Telegraph and lHesse,.-
ger. Either foeman is worthy of the
others steel, and somebody is hurt at
every thrust. The Atlanta paper seems
to have the worst case 80 far, but fights
shrewdly to patch the rents that the Ma
con paper makes in the reconstruction
record of Col. Boynton, to whose claim
the weight of position attaches, he holding
the fort as tocum tenenS al interim,
and while acting Governor acts as
Governor SO admirably that all the
people may see that the mantle of an
illustrious sick Governor has fallen APPLY
on the shoulders of vigorous, live Gov
ernor, who will do his duty well if kept in
the chair by election. He doubtless
woulj-so would many other worthy
Georgians-but the Macon paper has
forced the issue on the deserts of the men
as determined by their conduct during
the chaotic reconstruction period, when
things were so abominably mixed that
many good, patriotic men really could
not decide what was patriotism aud what
was not-whether it was better to take
Office and tighten the yoke for their coun-
trymen, or to stubbornly fight against the
pricks and challenge the worst. The
Macon paper puts Col. Boynton on its
pitiless procrustean bed of abstract right
or wrong, as viewed from the standpoint
of to-day, and disjoints him by stretching
him in one Issue, and chops him off to its
measure in the next. Altogether it is
very uncomfortable for Col. Boynton, and
must weaken him before the Convention.
The Atlanta organ counterrattacks Major
Bacon, but his record armor seems COM
parativeiy invulnerable, and he may be
considered to hold the inside track for the
nomination-which, after all, .dark
Horse may carry of.
