When informed that the President

to repeat her Inquiry. Disappointed a

Nashville Arhzan: Some perfectly
level-headed individual who believes
that railroad corporation has as rood
a right to run its own business and
manage its own property as any other
class of business, publishes the fol-
lowing, to which we rise and remark
amen:
. Some of the citizens of Edwards
vile, Ala, don't like the location of
the depot of the Georgia Pacific rail-
road at that place, and have invoked
the aid Of the Alabama Railroad Com
mission in order to change it to
another part of the settlement. The
Commissioners are investigating the
matter At this rate it will not be
long until railroads will need no man
agement, as three broken DOWN poIi-
ticians will run all the railro ads in the
State. -
We are ignorant and unlearned. and
therefore we are not able to see what
right State has to take charge of and
regulate railroad charges any more
than it has hotels or saloons-each is
for the public.

Necessarily it must exist, taking hu.
man nature as it is, and necessarily il
is transitional, tsking human nature
in what it is '.9roanfng and trauaRsng'
to be under the blessed inspirations OF
Christianity. Already, so far as sci
ence is concerned, the battle has been
decided: and the contest has demon
strated this much at least, that Natur-
alism is thoroughly unscientific unless
it has Supernaturalism for its foun-
dation. Of what avail is the victory ?
Only to the extent of overthrowing
one sort of external antagonism. The
sublime proofs of Christianity stand
exactly where they always stood, and
Christ is no more the fpower of God %
nor to any greater extent the evils

preached him to the cultured but vol
atile and sensual Corinthians.
One of the clearest evidences to my
mind of the advancing power of Chris
tianity is the peculiar quality of our
recent Skepticism. Skeptics we must
have in time like ours, with an edu-
cation like ours, with sensuousness
like ours, so highly developed. Were
we without them, should see ground
to apprehend that Christianity was net
aggressive, was not humbling the

A Point IN Law.

A vcxed question in international
law of many years standing has just
received learned discussion from Judge
Hoffman. Of California. 1t Is: Whether
fugitive from justice brought back
upon \ charge of one crime can resist
being tried ON any other. One view has
been that although criminals on hit not
to be extradited except upon specific
charges. and ought not to be put on
trial OH any other charge than one
mentioned in the proceedings. vet the
culprit had no right to object; the qucs-
tion was only diplomatic one between
the two nations. When Winslow was
demanded from Great Britain bv the
United States. Lord Derby, under an
act Of Parliament later than the treaty,
claimed from Secretary Fish q stipula.
tion that he should be tried only on the
charge named, hut our administration
refused to give it. and there was long
disagreement between the two nations
over the question. In the noted case Of
Lagrave, the New York courts held that
until some law or treaty limited the
prosecution Of returned offenders to the
very crime specified tile courts could
not refuse to entertain any regularly
made charges. Other jurists Of high
standing have thought it proper for =
court to entertain prisoners objection
that he had been brought back unfairly.
And Of this opinion is Judge Hoffman.
He argues that specifying in treaty
certain crimes rs grounds Of cxtradition
implies that no others shall be allowed;
and. further. that the treaty is . part 81

oner is personally entitled to the benefit

mire it. 1t has the editors name on it,
written in his very best Sunday-go-to
meetin' style. That is what the con-
ductors particularly like to see. and they
like it so much that they want him to
write it again in exactly the same fine
style.
The other day the editor exhibited the
beautiful chirography, and the con-
ductor as usual requested him to dupli-
cate it in another place.
Don't correspond" he muttered.
''Bcst can do" said the editor. ..Do
you suppose can dash off 500 pages

style of penmanship? Do You suppose
can write ike that with these ears of

He whipped out a bright pair of scis-

was not kindly taken. On the contrary,
word was sent to the Office that in case

TOW Am-r,can Girls Talk.

We are told that talking Is only a va.
ricty of singing, and in listening to tho
talk Of American ladies, that doctrine
becomes easily acceptable. At first the
pitch sounds somewhat shrilI. though
not dissgreeahly, only unaccustomediy
so. BY and by you begin to like il, as
presumably we should like any keynote
coming from pretty lips. There always
seems note vt Interrogation at the
end Of the spoken sentences uf Amcri-
can ladies', and sort of cosy queruious-
ness. not 40 much p!Sin,ivc as sympa-
thetic, Splinter peradvcniure of the
pity which is said to be dangerously
near to love. Nevertheless, over the
rows Of lounging chairs on deck, there
seemed to brood 4 sort of cooling sound
as Of well-contented doycs. Tho young
American ladies take the talking reins
Tn their hands very early IN life. At
fifteen they ease their mammas consid-
eraHy in that respect. and snguiariy
enough. with their mammals consent.
The English mammss. at that age.
would prefer conversationally sleeping
daughters.
Abo,H this early American talk there
is no < 'bble. These young women ris-
ing sixteen speak rs deliberately ani
naturally as Mr. Henry Irving. and
without the mockiny twinkle of having
something in reserve which renders the
talk Of that eminent actor not unpleas-
antly irritating. English girls at the
same age talk rs it We're with their
hands behind them, as if to conceal
skipping rope. The Yankee girl looks

we never ourselves shirked the ordeal
and screels off an easy bobbn of con-
versation; you may act AS ''piecer" il
you please, but generally she does the
''pieciug' herself; you have sat down
TO talk to your companion as a child,
and before the talk is over an interval
OF three years is supposed to have
elapsed and YOU say good afternoon to
self-possesscd woman. Should any
one run away with the idea that all this
is unnatural or precocious, he should be
undeceived. For us it was one of the
pieasantest pastines on the ship-and
whea the sun was shining and the
waves were dancing, there could be no
more agreeable accompaniment than
the unaccustomed chant of the New
England dialect. with its note of inter-
rogation at the end.-An Englishman
