Not a Sturid YnDth.

A San Francisco millionaire, hoping
TO encourage his promising son in ways
of thrift, promised to give him two per
cent month interest upon any money
that he might save out of his spending
allowance and deposit in the paternal
treasury. The young man was getting
$50 a week for pocket money, and prom
Used TO show his appreciation of his faith
er's af1ectionate offer. He hcean to
make deposits without delay, and kept
the practice UP with remarkable regu-
larity. The oil gentleman noticed
presently that the deposits exceeded the
whole of The boys allowance. hut ac-
counted for this by supposing that he
had saved some money previously. Be
sides this, he received money frequent
" from his mother SO the fond par
ent rejoiced in the saving disposition
that his son was displaying. This con-
tinued until the boys deposits assumed
such dimensions as to demand an eX-
PLANTATION. II then turned out that most
of the money that he had been deposit
ing had been borrowed lnasmuch as
he was drawing interest on his deposits
at two per cent month, and was pay
ing only ten per cent year for them,
he had found that business decidedly at
tractive and profitable.

The report OF the New Hampshire
board of health contains q tabulatcd
summary of the reports of the officers
of cities and towns. showing the number
of births, marriages, and deaths in each
township in 1881. From this it appears
that 4,6l5 babies were born in the state
that wear. 2.415 being bows. 2,l23 girls,
and IS ''not stated. OF these 2,744
were of American parentage, 6S3 were
children of foreigners. $50 were of mixed
ancestry, the fruit of marriages betweeR
Americans and foreigners, and 542 were
classed as unknown. 1t should be sta
ted in this connection that all persons
born in this country are returned as
Americans, though their parents may
have come from abroad immediately be-
fore their entry into this world. Bear
ing this in mind, and the further fact
that those children reported as ''un-
known are probably in most instances,
the children of foreigners, and it seems
fair to conclude that not more than half
the babies included in the list can prop
erly be called yankees; and we sup
pose, if the facts could be known, it
would appear that not one IN four can
trace his descent back more than two
or three generations without crossing
the ocean or the Canadian line Four
thousand six hundred and fifty persons
died in the state in 1881 and of these
3,542 were Americans, 40 were foreign
ers, and SOP were of unknown origin.
From this it appears that there was an
,f = Avn,
ulation of the state from the excess of
deaths over births. If we consider in
connections with this the steady streams
of emigration which carry our Yankees
south and fill their places with Cana
dams and Irishmen, the conclusion is
forced upon us that the year is not far
away when the race that settled New
Hampshire and has furnished the brain

A Vigorous Assault By Philadelphia Gill
Who despises Conc sited hen.


A not too modest maiden writes to
the Philadelphia Times concerning hand
some men. 1t seems to be expected of
women that they shall be handsome,
while men can get along very well with
lutte or no beauty, but when You do
meet with handsome man he istwenty
times more C1nceited than handsome
woman. A woman's head isn't turned
half SO often by admiration as mans.
Ihaye often wondered why this is, and
haven't decided whether it is because if
a woman is handsome and attractive
she gets her full share of admiration
and receives it as her due, and doesn't
concern her head much about it while
it lasts, or because there is some ele-
ment in a mans nature which renders
him more susceptible to ilattery than
women.
A lady friend of mine says it is the
latter She has been teacher of both
sexes for many years, and she ought to
know what she is talking about. OF
course there are many handsome men
of whom | have no knowledge, but,
without exception, the handsome mon |
have known have been weak, vain, and
egotistical, and if you were fool enough
to put any confidence in them you found
out later, TO your sorrow, that your
house was built upon sand.
This may not have been every one
experience, but it has been mine, and
the result is that | distrust all hand.

We dom, know that anybody has doubt
cd since his defeat that General MALONE
would soon go into the Republican party.
There was no choice for him except be-
tween the Democratic and the Republican
parties, and certainly nobody who knows
the man expected him TO fal! back as pri-
yaie into the Democratic ranks. Indeed,
from the beginning in 1879 this result must
have been expected by all who know, as
almost everybody does, that there can be
but two permanent parties in this country.
His success i'm 1870, and the very small
vote his boiling ticket received in 1880,
DELAYED General MAH0NE's march into the
enemy's lines; but he no longer has any
good reason for declining to put on the
Republican uniform.
We have doubted whether Mr.. RIDDLE
BERGER would be so ready to proclaim
himself Republican; perhaps we doubt
ed without good reason. We still think,
however. Notwithstanding the averments
OF the following paragraph from the WASH
ington Post, that Mr.. RlDDLEBERGER will
not proclaim himself Republican unless
Mr.. ARTHUR will give him the disposition
of at least one-half as much patronage as
shall be awarded TO General MALONE. We
quote the Post:
1.-The Post had assurances yesterday
from the best authority that not only will
Riddleberger and Malone attend the Re-
publican caucus, but thai they and their
followers will hereafter, and without dis
guise, net with the Republican party. They
say 'tbey are for Arthur for President be-
cause he is for u.s. The indiscreet ones
now boast that when the time comes for
the vote Of Virginia to be given for Presi-
dent in 1894 they will have sufficient
force at the polls to insure the victory Of
what they call the 'RoadiuSter-Republi-
can ticket. They do not state where this
force is to come from, or whether it is to
be composed OF deputy mlrshals, United
States troops, or militia companies, but as
sumo that the Danville riot is going to help
them next year"

The two old mother Commonwealth did
a good days work when they defeated the
two demagogues-Bptler and Malone.
They are rs much alike as two peas. Both
are self-seeking political bosses. Both APP
pealed to the lowest motives for votes.
Both straddled party lines and captured
the tails OF the two parties. Both stood
for what is lowest, dirtiest. and most rep
rehensIble in the Commonwealth. We
have no respect for party lines when there
are no important issues to divide the peo-
pie, but it Is not pleasant to see such men
as these two political adventures securing
maiorities by breaking them down. a

fed, and patriotic; but "MlhOneism" and
Butlerism" mean the State or the nation
upside down, with the least intelligent and

are warm friends. They recognized each
other at glance. Now they go down to-

Of the Legislature. mean the passage Of
a general railroad law. Such a law has
been in force now for several years in West
Virginia, where it has operated very well.
And one has also been in force, at least
since 1870, II not before, in Illinois. and
that State is said to have the best Constitu-

Those at all acquainted with our Legis-
latures know that railroad methods are not
at all conducive to the public purity, and
are source Of much delay and expense in
our legislation. 1t is fresh IN the minds OF
many that the necessity and expense OF the
last extra session was wholly due to the
delays, distractions, ard intrigues and
clashings OF railroads.
There is another reason for the adoption
OF such policy. 1t may so happen that a

Of it.

There is undoubtedly a growing senti-
ment of true Republcanism in the State

thing, and reaches for something that De-

to its old idols, never has and never will
furnish, and every ton Of ore we receive,
every furnace-iire we light, every noun
