No ISDucEMENT.-A land agent wanted
a Kentucky farmer to emigrate to Dakota,
as he was not making his living in the old
Commonwealth. ''What inducements do
you offer"' asked the farmer. "We have
the richest lands, the finest wheat, the best
water, the latest stock and the biggest
farms in the world.'' EYES," doubtingly
interrupted the farmer. s'Why, man, on
one Of those big farms they pillow furrow
five miles long" ''What:" "They pillow a
furrow five miles long, "That ends it,
stranger. Don't talk Dakota to me! It's
all can do to pillow one of these little fifty
yard burrows here in Kentucky, and il j. it
the end of it. Gee, whoa, Buck, git up

Brush He and his partner were soon
interested in the subject, and impaired
the following information in broken
English: 1.-The bootblacks of the city
are principally Mexicans, Italians and
Portuguese; of late, too, few Ameri-

have crept in. It is not a healthy oc-
cupation, for it brings on diseases OF the
chest, spine and abdominal regions
through the constant bending OF the
body and crooking of the shoulders. 1t
also strains the muscles of the hand,
wrist and forearm. After polishing
twenty pairs of boots or shoes we feel
like taking rest. We are always con-

when that is earned they go off for a
good comida. All the large and we'll
patronized stands in the city have a re-
lay of men, and in several of them 500
and even $50 is taken in. These boot
black stands are valuable property.
Five years ago we paid for this small
place premium of $3.50. To-day it is
worth at least $500, and yet we don't
appear to be doing a big trade, but,
then, You see. we often get ten and tif-
teen cents pair. One man. who
started in a few weeks ago with one
stand in popular locality, has made
several thousand dollars by building
and renting new stands. In the barber
shops, as a. rule, the proprietors take
the ten cents charged for boot-cleaning
and pay the boys all the way from So
to $40 week. If you want to help the
bootblack along in those places you
must tip him an extra five or ten-cent

A Political Anomaly.

The citizens of the territories are amenable
to practically any sort of regulation congress
may sec ft to enact, but rs a matter Of fact
they are granted fair degree of local self
government, and have the sver-prosont GER
tainty of future state government when
their population shall entitle them to It,
But here in this fair city aud district the
very heart of the great nation that prides
itself on the equality of the riahts and privi4
Ileges of all Its citizens there is q condition
without parallel in our country, and certainly
inconsistent with the principles that are our
boast.
As between them and the inhabitants Of
the territories in political sense there is no
similarity. We are governed by star cham
ber tribunal that at its option yeils its opera
tions in impenetrablo secrecy, and is not
responsible in any way to our citizens for any
of its measures; nor have they any voice in
its selection. Neither does the inflow of
population bring with it any hope of future
self.government through statehood or other-
wise.
Here arc two hundred thousand people
who for intelligence, culture, moral worth,
and, in SHORT, all the essential qualities to
make up the most desirable elemonts of good
citizenship, will compare fayorably with any
body in our land, yet, SO far are they from
being permitted to exercise the ordinary
rights of American citizenship that they are
not allowed even the poor privilege Of voice
in the direction of their local municipal af-
fairs,
In land like ours, whore the conditions
of growth and progress are such that hardly
any estimate can justly be called visionary,
it is not at all unreasonable to say that in the
not far distant future half milllon-per-
chance million-people will be gathered
here. And it is safe to say that the people
who come to seek their residence in the
Washington of the future will be largely
drawn from tho best intellect culture, and
wealth of all the states. Are they too to be
denied the ordinary rights of American
citizenship as penalty for seeking homes in
the capital of the great repubic9
1t is question that will grow with each
year until congress will be forced to give 1t
serious consideration. 1t is un-Amorican
and unjust that absolute disfranchisoment
should be the price of residence IN the
capital Of tho nation.

Ch,caao-Isso-,s4.

The decision of the republican national
convention, in their choice of Chicago as
their place of meeting on June 3, 1884, was
iudicious not to say wise. The city by tho
lake is ipteroceanic and moro readily nc.
cessible to all parts of tho union than any
other which might have been chosen. The
members of the committee who voted in
favor Of that city most likely considered
not only its advantages of location, but also
of climate, and tho facilities for accommo-
dating the large attendant crowds which are
gathered together by the notable assemblago
Of presidential nominating conventions.
In 1880 the convention which met in Chi
cago was tumultuous congregation, which
could scarcely have been cared for and kept
we'll in hand in any other city. In 1884 tho
gathering may be as large, interesting, and
enthusiastic, but there will be moro of har-
mony and fraternity on the floor aud in the
galleries.

the sweeping democratic victory Of that year,
in these words: "If there con be found man of

Not that there is no enjoyment in witness

Mr.. Lawrence Barrett's Hamlet, which was
presented at tho National theator last night,
is we'll known to our playgoers, aud ranks
higher in point of intelligent conception and
artistic representation than the rem
dition of this character by any other
American actor, unless IL may
be Edwin Booth. He carries his nterpreta-
ton consistently through the play, and is
forceful without ranting, is impressive and
effective. Much of tho business employed
by Mr.. Barrett differs from that of o.hor
actors, and shows how close study he has
made of the part.

MATTHEW ARNoLD's LECTURE.
The prospects are that there will be o very
large gathering of the literary and cultivated
portion of society at the Congregational
church Monday to hear this distinguished
gentleman. Mr.. Arnold stands in the front
rank of living poets; he is also critic of the
acutest and finest caliber, and has for the last
quarter of a century treated of social, reli-
gious, and literary topics with o charm of
style and novelty of idea that are matchless
in the English literature of the time. He is
also a pleasing and powerful speaker and
adds to beauty and originality Of thought.and
expression the graces of effective oratory.
Mr.. Arnold will arrive hero on Saturday, and,
after n visit to Richmond, will spend Wednes-
day and Thursday in this city in social inter
course. A movement is on foot in literary
circles to ask Mr.. Arnold to name some time
and place during his visit when his admirers
will have the privilege Of calling upon him.
