y esterday morning when the psssen-
ger train from Montgomery pulled into
i'atesvillc several idle negroes were stand
ing about the depot. A labor agent of a
Florida railroad was on the train, and he
thought he saw a chance to get a man or
two, so stepping to the car door he ad-
dressed negro who stood near in his
shirt sleeves:
Want to go to Florida?"
"W'at yer gimme ?"
" Dollar and half day"
Pay expenses ?"
Yes"
t goes den. Good by boys" said the
negro as he bounced on the train, "this
country can't hop dis niger no longer"
And coatless, almost pantless-and pen
nyless, he started on the long journey to
Flo:ida.-EufduLa Ne,cs.

A Notorious Liar.
From the PHILADELPHIA Timesl

The Boston HeraM inquiries Is the Cincin-
natl Eaquirers contributor, Jayhawkcr,' such a
notorious liar that Judge llOadly is warranted in
taking no further notice of the charge that he
admitted that his nomination for Governor cost
him $50000?" The only answer to this is an
affirmative one Wherever Woodard is known
it is absolutely unnecessary to answer single
one of his ISLANDERS. II he were to be examined
by II commission rs TO the possibility of telling
the truth he would be declared positively inca
pabc of exercising this useful art. The surprise
is that Governor Foster should have permitted
himself to make statement SO broad and posi-
tive upon such authority. The mere exposition
of the name of his informant has placed him in
a bad attitude which can but rebound to the ad-
vantage of Judge Hoadly, however much dam
age it had been intended to do him.

"A young lady in the rural districts
wrote to us asking advice about how to
have'2 dress made. Now, we didn't know
what to say. But we wanted to accom-
mediate her, SO We got fashion magazine,
copied description of dress, and sent
it to her. Yesterday the queerest crea-
ture We ever saw bounced into our Office.
Do you see this dress ?'' she demanded.
:. I've worn it in here to let you see it.
This is the thing you advised me to make
look at it," Then she went on. She had
caused the dress to be made up, worn it
to the city, expecting it to be right in
style, and found it to be a terror. Inves-
tigat.on showed that the magazine was

--"Why do young men remain single ?"
asks a newspaper writer. An old philoso-
pher once observed that if more young
mer were to marry, there would be fewer
old bachelors in the land, and the more
we reflect on the subject the more it
strikes us that the old philosopher hit the
bulbs eye. Young men remain single be-
cause they don. marry.
The post-mortem examination of
mulatto who died recently in Cincinnati

weighing 64.33 ounces, and Abercrom-
bie's, which weighed sixty-three ounces.

intellectually, yet is described as becom-
ing, hate in life, thoughtful and re-
served" He lad been slave.

SECRETS.
BY RUTH THE CLEANER.

There a door in our hearts never opened.
Where ghosts OF the past hide away:
Where life, with it's sad disappointment.
Holds vigils by night. and by day:
Where deep in undreamed OF recesses
Lie cnddled the mem'ries of yore:
Where spectres, with chilly caresses
Mock solace and JOY evermore.
Tis better the world shonld not know OF
These burdens, 80 deep unexpressed-
The longings, propensities, sorrows,
We hope to conceal in our breast
Therefore, as we move through the ocean
OF beings as human We
We know they have all got their secrets

and in accordance with all reasonable prohabi-
iy TO say that outrages ere committed in Geor-

that there is no politics in any case? 1t is little
too late for our Republican brethren to attempt

to stick to their protective tariff and the accom-

| places. Whole families are sometimes ap-
/ pointed to salaried places. Besides, the
lule is, with hardly exceptions enough to
prove its correctness, that all salaried Off
cia's, at least of the higher ones, have been
and are given to one political faith. He
says there are more persons en-
ployed than necessary to carry on
business and at higher salaries
He advises thet at least one-tbird of them
shall be cut off and salaries reduced by
law. If any resign on account o. such re-
duction he Will undertake to fill their
places with competent men. He suggests
the passage of a lew prohibiting two of
family from holding Office in the same de-
partment; anu further, that if there are
pointed his relative shall go out.
Laws should be enacted to
reduce the taxes of farmers and la
boring men and women and TO prevent the
wealthy from eyading the payment of tax
by practices we'll known to all. One of
the best methods to lessen taxation is to
abolish all unnecessary Offices and cut OF
all questionable expenditure. The gov
ernor protests against the overworking Of
railroad employees and carelessness as to
their safety. The closing part of the ad
dress is devoted to the question of educa
ton, and the gouernor sums up his
ideas as follows: 'As proven
ton of pauperism and crime to fit
our people for suffrage, use all the edgca-
tional force of the state; educate the
masses up to a certain necessary point,
and the classes above ought to educate
themselves up to still higher point. Do
not take the common fund and give it to
few, or have it expended in such a manner
that all cannot enjoy its advantages.
Above all have that expenditure an eco
nomical one, and not pay low salaries to
teachers of the many and high salaries to
the teachers of the few"
