''Gath" In Cincinnati Enquirer.
Toe Harpers are now young men, or
relatively young men, and OF quite plain
aud worldly natures, not saving them
selves up for office, and in that respect
considerable antitheses to some editors
who make more pretensions to virtue.
The Hatpers are exceedingly rich, and
from generation to generation they attend
to business carefully, yet not saturinely.
The house has generally been considered
q Methodist honse, but have my doubts
whether the present publishers are
ssctarians at all, except additionally.
They probably respect the bridge
that carried their parents over. They
have no superiors on this side OF the
ocean, il in the world, in the manuiactur-
ing of books. l suppose, from all that |
hear, that their relatiaGs with producers
OF books are as respectable as can be
tound in the world, These men about
the year lS4S began to publish monthly
| mag azine. About the year 1857 they
began to publish weekly illustrated
| paper. They have since started two other
| aerials, ole for women and one for juven.
| lies. This serial trade is very profit
| able portion OF their business, but 1t Is
| only portion. They are alert to know
the intellectual enterprise of the world.
The publishing house OF Harperi
more resembles the great old banking
| firms of Europe than any institution W,

the ground on which their building stood
WAS like git to them. Smaller pub
fishers were constantly moving to som,
more fashionable region for books up il
the city, and they now and then star
the theory that the Harpers have bough
in their vicinity aud are also to move
Persons we'll acquainted with the bust
told me not more than week ago tina
the Harpers would nsver move from
where they stand. There they began 3
long ago that they have paid for every
thing they possess, and while they vii
probably extend on the same site, the
have no necessity to go to anothe
neighhorhood.

short on Boys.
Charleston News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
The Cherryville community on James
Island, is running "short' on boys. A
veracious gentleman said last night that
there were five families living in that quiet
hamlet whose total progeny numbered
seventeen. There ID only one boy in the
lot, who has four sisters. The census of
Theses families gives the following result :
Family No. l, four girls and one boy;
family No. 2, four girls, the oldest having
reached her sixth year; family No. 3,
three girls; family No. 4, three girls, and
family No. S, which has only been organ
lied for two years, two girls. This ia a
rather curious record, but the most
amusing thing about the matter is the
conduct of another family which lived in
Cherryville for three years, and with
each succeeding year added regularly 10
the female population OF the island. Last
year tue head of this household con-
cluded that he could stand it no longer,
and so he packed up his household goods
and moved 70 Georgia.

JOshua's Spoon.

Detroit Free Press.
Abraham aud Joshua had been invited
to splendil dinner.
1t was impossible for Joshua not to
make capital out of such an opportunity;
accordingly he managed to slip silver
spoon into his boot.
Abraham was green with envy at
Joshua's success, for he had not even
manipulated a salt spoon.
But an idea struck him.
"My frents," he cried, 81 will show you
some bricks"
Taking up spoon he said, "You zee
dees spoon Veil, it ees gons,' he cried ,
passing it up his sleeve. "You will find
it in Joshua's hood"

The weli-known drop game" recently
tried with success on Brooklyn bank
depositor, developed an anecdote that is
told of Judge David Davis. The judge
was making a deposit at Washington
bank, and stood counting large pile OF
money at a desk. A wel,-dressed young
man stepped up and, with bow and a
smile, said "Judge, you have dropped a
bill" Sure enough, there lay clean,
crisp, genuine s2 bill at the deposition
feet. "Thsnk you," blandly answered
the Judge, placing his ponderous right
loot over the bill on the floor, and calmly
resumed his counting. The sharper,
taken absck by the GOODNESS of the
proceeding, disappeared, and the judge
was 81 ahead by the transaction.

a MORNING SAIL.
Maurice Thompson.

Out of the blight at Augustine
We slowly sailed away,
We saw the lily sunrise lift
Its bloom above the bay.
Scared birds wbisked past with wings asian
And necks outstretched before;
Some wracks hung low / thought heard
A growing down the shore.
The Anastasla light went out,
San Marcos tower sank low.
The long oquina Island flung
Its reef across our bow.
Far southwark, whei Matanzas shines,
The sea birds wheel and scream;
A roseat9 spoon-bill passes like
A fancy in dream.
We laugh and sing-the gale Is on,
The white caps madly run;
The slo0p Is caught; we siacken sail
We scud across the sun!
We sport with danger all the morn;
For danger what care we?
We hear the roaring of the reef,
The storm of the sea

THE WO0D-NYMPH.
Herman Meriyaie.

That lime trees shed their blossoms, and the
scent ~
Filled the light M that dallied round the grove;
The honeysuckle tendrils deity wove
a net to catch them-sweets on sweets intent
The thyme, scarce crushed flor she a-tiptoe
went),
Breathed a faint tribute of its dying love,
Clinging about her footsteps as they move,
And all the wood in smiling homage bent.
Fair as young birds In early spring, one hand
Led i'll rose-fetters new-captured fawn,
The other held palm leaf, from the stream
That trickled through the thicket-like the
wand
OF some enchantress, gracious as the Dawn
She passed, this Dread of a poets dream.

CORN FROM EG YPT.
The Kind That Pious Joseph Gave

The Kind That Pious Joseph Gave

salt Lake Herald.
Mr.. Charles Pepper, on his ranch near
Dry canyon, has succeeded in raising
fine crop of Egyptian corn. Some two
years ago he brought from the Depart
ment OF Agriculture few grains of this
cereal and planted 1t 30 rs to secure fair
amount of seed for the ensuing season.
This year he has about half an acre
which, not having been cared for, has
not done as we'll as it would otherwise
have done.
The land on which it grew Ia piece OF
waste hillside, where nothing but oak
brush would thrive. 1t has had no
| water, as it WAS impossible to irrigate it..
The land slopes upward to the north, so
that it is unusually dry, and it would
| seem that no worse place could have been
| selected, but the result s.nowB the adap-
liability OF the crop to our arid benches.
The grain grows in punches on the TOP
of the stems, and hangs down by reason
of the great weight, so that the clusters
look like grapes in form.
The grain is small, very similar in
appearance to pearl barley grains. It is
readily crushed, and the flour is full Of
nutriment.
The grain should be utilized and care
full attention paid to its prog fess undei
varied circumstances. 1t would be o
much advantage to the country if all wht
plant it would keep an exact account o
yield, together with details of climat
and all other points in regard to the sur
roundings Of the crop.
1t is the genuine corn Of Egypt will
which Joseph and his brethren are asso
oiated in early Scripture memories.
The grains grow separately like grape
and each one to all intents and purpose
is small loaf of bread already baked.

Wild Beasts Photographed.


An enterprising Partisan photographer,
IA. A. Petit, visited Planets menagerie a
day or two ago, with the obje,o of taking
photographs of the wild bea sts in their
cages. The existing photogra phs of these
animals, taken as they are from the space
outside the case, necessarily show the
bars, which spoil the effect. M. Planet,
the proprietor of the menag srie, accom-
panied the artist in his adventurous
round ; and the animals, as rule,
behaved very we'll. A splendid group,
consisting OF a lion, lion ess, and two
cubs, was particularly successful, the
sisters" not moving a muscle during
the operation. The leopa I'd, too, proved
an excellent subject. Tile tigress, how
ever, exhibited specimen OF her temper
in two vigorous dashes on the photo
graphic apparatus, in one of which NJ.
Petit received savage blow OF her paw
on the leg. This, French paper states,
is the first time that wild beasts have
been photographed in their dens and it
is believed the results of NJ. Petit's dan
gerous experiment will be OF consider
able service to animal painters and soulp.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[From our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. II, 1888,
1t would not be worth while for me to
sit down and tell you who is going to be
elected speaker, for it might offend some
friends of other candidates whose opin-
ions did not agree with mine; and then,
too, / might make a mistake and weaken
your confidence in my political judgment.
All the same, | think could name the
man. The contest is sassDming shape now
and as the members come in it is possible
to obtain something more than vague
idea. One cause for congratulation is
that the canvass has been, thus far,
wholly free from personalities, and also
that whichever candidate is chosen a
good, safe man will occupy the speakers
chair. There is no suspicion Of jobbery
attaching to the name of either Mr.. Car
Isle, Mr.. Randall of Mr. Cox. And. fur
ther, If Mr.. Carlisle is chosen there will be
no hasty or injudicious action concerning
the tariff, as many have been led to be-
lieve. He is an able, cool and prudent
man. Both he and Mr.. Cox are tariff
reformers, in harmony with the great
majority of the party, but they are not in
favor of any reckless tinkering at this or
any other time. Nor are they out and
out free traders as some suppose The
friends of Mr.. Cox are more in earnest
than has been generally supposed, and
there are not few who would like to see
tbs good humored but staunch and able
veteran called to the high position of
speaker. It is certain, however. that his
following at present is less than that of
either Of the other leading candidates. An
anxious group OF aspirants for the other
