Mr.. HENRY JAMES. in noticing the fact that
AlphOnse Daudet, the novelist, has been
cused of portraying living persons in his novels,
declares that "the temptation to put people into
a book is one of which every writer of fiction
knows something, and 1 hold that to succum0 to
it not only legitimate, but inevitable. Putting
people into books is what the novelist lives upon.
The only question in the matter is question of
taste. The operation must be judged by the
manner in which it is performed. Daudet has
been accused of doing the thing too boldly, and
L believe that two or three of his portraits have
provoked protest"
VERY handsome young lady, whose name is
A. W. Rich, from California and on her wedding
tour, has created quite a sensation in Saratoga
She is stopping at the Grand Union and is to be
seen walking up and down the piazza OF the no
tel for hours at a time in company with beauti-
full little blackand-tan dog. She seems to oe
wonderfully fond OF this pet. The little crea
ture was made a wedding present and cost $40O.
The lady ordered for the dog earrings and a
gold collar of special pattern. The earrings are
worth $1,000 and the collar, which is studded
with emeralds and pearls, is worth $4,000. This
lady and her pet are not only the talk of the
town, but have created the greatest sensation
known here for years,
A LONDON letter saysE"There is a prevailing
impression here that your Miss Chamberlaine
will get herself very much talked about, and in
no very complimentary way, If she does not
drop out of the society of the Prince of Wales.
Prudent mammas here would prefer that their
daughters should contract the smallpox rather
than attract the favor of his royal Highness.
He is deadly upas-tree, and smites the poor
girl who thinks to rest under the spreading
branches OF his admiration with the poison Of
the vilest scandal. Miss Chamberlaine is a beau
tiful girl, with all the wit and self reliance that
characterize your fair madens, but these will
not protect her. This is hard for loyal Briton
to say, but it is the truth"

They were in position to give interesting
views of the inside workings of Buchanan's
and former Democratic administrations and
of other matters, but they are not the men
who could be disinterested enough to write
history that will stand the test of time.
Davis's work will be valuable only as giving
the partisan views of a man whose judg-

and the heresy of State sovereignty. Blacks

A Method in Their Madness.


The address, or prospectus of the Peoples
Railway Company recently issued from In
dianapolis, was, on its face, the product of a
diseased ana erratic mind On reading it we
had no idea that the slightest attention would
be given to this crazy project, and supposed
that the scheme would end with its publica-
ton. But not so. There seems to be method
in the fellows madness, and the matter is
being pushed with all the energy that cheek
and an evident dishonest purpose can give it.
The proposition is to build narrow guage
railroad owned by the people, intersecting
all parts of the country, which is expected to
absorb the business of the present wide-guage
roads, and so put an end to existing monopo-
lies. However desirable such consumma-
ton may be- it cannot be reached through
this Peoples Railway Company" which is
apparently a fraud, No papers of any char
acter are giving it countenanoe or support
Its agents will probably soon invade this
part of the State, and we warn our readers
to have nothing to do with them, Every
dollar paid them will be that much money
thrown away.

The Old Soldiers and the Encampment.
Charlottesville Journal
There seems to be some complaint on the
part of good many people because the en-
campment managers at Indianapolis charged
cid soldiers fifty cents admission to the
grounds. This complaint is not confined to
the people, but a good many newspapers
have taken up the cry which keeps it mov-
ing all along the line. Before making such
vigorous protest they should thoroughly
understand themselves. The encampment
was in no sense an old soldier affair. 1t was
emphatically an encampment of the State
militia. One day was, however, set apart as
Grand Army of the Republic and old soldiers
day, and an invitation extended to all the
old soldiers to be present, The invitation
distinctly stated that 'all member OF the
Grand Army wearing the bronze badge will
be admitted to the grounds on that day free
of charge" There were doubtless many old
soldiers there who could not be distinguished
from old citizens, and, of course, the officers
had no other alternative but to charge them
the admission fee. Those who wore the
badge were admitted free according to prom
Use. There was no act of bad faith on the
part of the managers, as all can readily see
and who understand the matter. And it is
no fault of the managers that it was not I'M
derstood, as all the posters and circulars they
sent out distinctly stated what courtesies
would be extended and that those wearing
the badge should be the recipients, and only,
too. for one daY.

Money in Elections.

Andrews EXpress.
No man can be so foolish as to believe that
No one doubts that the Republican party
spent lots of money in the last presidential
campaign. But we are led to believe by the
opposition press that the Democratic party
put no money in the Indiana campaign in
1880. The people are not advised how much
they expended; they undoubtedly spent all
they could get, and the Republican party
did all they could to counterfeit its influence
by the same means. Ask local candidate
in the last election how much he put into
the county pool, and if he tells you the
truth you will be astonished. The everlast-
ing clack about the use of money for cam
paign purposes is simply blind on the part
of the Democracy, and the tactics of the cul-
prit who robs you of your pocket-book and
gives hot pursuit to an imaginary thief.

The Government Telegraph.

The use of the telegraph would be efficient
in the money-order department in the tele-
graphing of money. The present charges for
telegraphing small sums are exorbitant.
There may be a complaint that we ape the
English, who have adopted postal telegraphy,
postal savings banks, and parcels-delivery
system which delivers parcels up to seven
pounds weight. While not disposed to i'm
itate, it is not likely American speed will
neglect anything to promote rapid transit,
fast mails, swift expressage and reliable,
cheap telegraphng, provided it is practical.
The question is not one of sentiment, but of
practical economy The talk OF paternalism
and overgoverning is purely sentimental.
The discussion of expediencv, utility and
ways and means is the practic Il one.

THE interview with Judge Black a short

The economy OF lessening the present rates
of telegraphing, carrying or other service is
comparatively of but small importance. The
great benefit of governmental management
of work is to be looked for in the oppor-
tunity the public thus will have for the en-
ployment of all such as ought to be at work,
yet fail to find and keep employment The
appropriate employment of all such would
be almost sure prevention of both crime
and pauperism. 1t will furnish all with
comfortable homes and ways of earning
livelihood by honest labor. We don't hope
to see such ultimate perfection of the gov
erument, but only some faint steps in that
direction.

Rascally Bank Managers.

In these days it is one of the most common
things reported that another bank has failed
on account of rascally cashier using the
funds in wildcat speculation. The people
can no longer feel safe when depositing
money in bank for depositors under the
present monetary system of the country are
the individuals who suffer. The condition
of things shows a strong tendency to an I'M
settled time when general stampede will be
made upon the banks and a crisis be precipi-
teted upon the country, growing directly
from loss of confidence of the people in the
men managing the banks.

MAINE court and Maine couple are all In a

White, Penobscot lawyer, applied for divorce
on the ground of tucOmpatioility. His wife did
not think their little matrimonial spats justified
the petition, and undertook to contest the case,
claiming that outside parties had Influenced her
husband The case went against her at the April
term, but she took an appeal, the jury having
decided that while the evidence hardly justified
it, divorce ought to be granted. Exceptions
were carried to another court, but they were
Overruled at the June term. Soon after this a
meeting was arranged between the pair, ana on
the 9Th of this month complete reconciliation
was evidently effected, for the pair went to re-
side together, and are now living of yore. The

There is certain loss of interest by hold

stead of buying on credit until the crop is

cost of insurance. The man who makes it q
