OLD MAIDS.

Hester Stewart writes of the old
maid Her days are days of pleas
antness, and her nights are nights of
peace. She goes to bed when she
pleases. and does not leave one ear
uncovered to listen for the uncertain
steps and wavering night key of a
late coming husband Neither does
che turn restlessly on her pillow be-
side a sober, snoring spouse, and
wonder where the children's school
books or the family Aannels are to
come from but she drops into peace
sIumbers to dream of the old love,
and wakes to wonder whether mar
ried life with him could ever have
become the sordid, meagre sffsir
which it is to so many husbands and
wives"

SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER
THERE.

The minister OF a fashionable
church once preached a beautiful
sermon on this subject. He drew a
picture of a very beautiful heaven,
We would walk in sunlit groves, by
the music of waterfalls, and gaze out
on amaranthine fields.
And then, too, we shall know
each other there said the minister,
there will be no stranger in the New
Jerusalem; we will all be friends
Beautiful said Deacon Sham, as
be trotted down the aisle
"A lovely sermon = said Miss Simp'
kins, as she put her bony hand on
the minister's arm.
She was stopped by poor me-
chsnic who came up and addressed
the preacher with
'Mr.-, l am glad we shall re,
coguize each other up there. 1t will
be a great change, though, for !
have attended your church for over
four years, and none of the members
of this society have recognized me
yet. But we shall know each other
there.

NEW IDEAS.

Henry George, the political econ>
omist, has been before Senate COM
mittee on the subject of labor and
the ills of labor. He answers as lol-
lows to question:
Ia response to suggestion by
Senator Blair that he could see no
difference in right of ownership be
tween the land owner by a man and
any other piece of property. Mr..
George explained his celebrated
theory. There we're very great
distinction, he said.
10 the first place, the land was
natural element; a machine was the
result of labor. In the second place
the land continued from generation
to generation.
There is difference also az to value.
The value of the machine or house
depended upon the value of the
labar needed to produce it. This
was not the case with land. The
value of the land in a city, for in
stance, resulted from the fact that
there were thousands or hundreds of
thousands of people surrounding it.
Then a man had a national right
to the product of his own labor, and
therefore to make property, which
az the result of mans labor. To
make property common would be to
destroy the Incentive production.
This was not the case with land,
however, for there could be no pros
duction of that. The present style
of taxation tended to lessen the
production of wealth, for men were
as it we're, fined for adding to the
common wealth. If instead of tax
ing house that was built upon land,
the land itself were more heavily
taxed, it would be more logical and
the result more beneficial.
Land should be made productive
10 some form or other, which.
whether by agriculture or by the
erection of buildings, and the dog.
in-the monger style, which allowed
men to buy land and keep it unused
should be discouraged by the inns
position of a heavy tax upon the
land.

THE WAR FOR THE UNION

Mr.. Richard Grant White, an ultra
Republican, let's the whole cat out of
the bag, in recent number of the
North American Review, as follows !:
The war (for the Uniou) was vir>
tually carried on by the mOneyed
men, the business men of the North.
They furnished It's "sinews," and
this they did for their own purposes
and in their own interests. Many Of
them grew rich by means of the war;
most of them saw 10 its successful
prosecution lay their future pros
perity. The war was a money
making process. The Federal Gov
eminent was victorious simply be
cause it had the most men and the
most money. The Confederate cause
failed simply because its men and its
money were exhausted tor no other
reason.
Every young man, says the Au-
gusta Chronicle, should paste that in
bis hat or hold it in his memory. 1t
is the truth. The cunning money
changers duped ADD used the aboli-
tionists and other fanatics for their
own purposes. The South was as
much duped in statecraft, at that
time, as it has been subsequently, by
the same plutocrate. While we were
discussing 'great principles" the
North meant business and means it
yet,

wounded. There was no conductor on the
car and the drivers duty required him to
guide the team, see that all the fares were de-
posted in the box and at the same time watch
for the trains and steam railroad crossings.
The railroad company had no safe guard at
the crossing although directed by city couu-
ellis years ago to erect one. The driver had
stopped the car while the north bound train
passed but had not noticed the approach
of the train on the other track. He started
