The new standard time Of the rail-

secretary Of the Time Convention
show that Of the one hundred princi-
pal cities Of the country, exclusive of
the cities on the Pacific coast, seven
ty-eight have adopted railway stand.
ard time as their official local time.
The Pacific lines, including the Un-
ion and Central Paci6cs, are to adopt
the standard time when their spring
schedules 60 into effect and it is ex'
pected that the entire Pacific coast
will then come into the system. 1t
has been quiet revolution, but much
more thorough than the most san
suine friends of the reform expected
within 80 brief time, and it is easy
to see now that the towns still adher-
ing to the old order of things will
inevitably be forced into the new
system before long. Excepting in
Ohio, where six sites, and in Penn
sylvania, where three cities still main
tain their old local time, there are not
more than two cities east Of the
Rocky Mountains where local time
different from the railway standard
is now used.

Refusing Money for a Verdict

Amusing scenes occur in the Court
House as well as on the stage, and the
Court officials and spectators were
witnesses Of little incident on Fri
day morning which excited the risi.
bles of those who appreciated the
situation. 1t is custom, and for
what reason few people know, and
therefore consider it "more honored
in the breach than the observance,
in the South Carolina Courts of Com
mon Plsas for the attorney Of the sue
cessful party in suit to hand the
foreman ofthe jury dollar in money
upon the rendition of the verdict
Our friend Mex. Scott, for the fist
time in his life, was foreman of a
Common Pleas jury, and when the
verdict in the case of Agnew rs
Adams had been rendered, Judge Ba-
con, counsel for the defendant, step
ped forward and rendered the .ore-
man a dollar. The foreman looked
at the attorney in astopishment and
rejected the filthy lucre. The lawyer
insisted on paying the collar, when
the foreman inquired why it was ten
dered. When told it was for the yer
dict, the foreman grew red and pale
by turns and Indignantly spurned
the offer. The lawyer explained, the
foreman rejected, the lookers-on gig
gled, .he experienced jurors were
ticklM at the scene, and not until
the foreman was assured by his com
rades of the. jury that it was all right
did he Danish the thought that the
lawyer wished tomake it appear that
the verdict had been bought. When
the scales were removed from the
foreman's eyes, be remarked: ~
thought it doggoned strange that a
lawyer would try to buy the whole
twelve men with a silver dollar.
The foreman had no scruples about
showing the dollar after the custom
had been explained to his satisfaction.

The People Of Georgia Show How
Soon a Good Man is Forgotten
by Their LaXneSs in Hen
0ring his Mem0ry.

AUGUSTA, GA, April 9.--When
the late Gov. Stephens died nove
.ment was put on foot to purchase
Liberty Hall, in which the dead
statesman had spent bis life, and erect
upon the ground monument to his
memory. After most strenuous eff
forts the amount collected thus far
is only $57l.95. So it is very likely
the project will have to be abandon
ed. What makes this apathy to
ward the collection Of money for such
a monument more remarkable is the
fact that hundreds Of young men in
Georgia owe all they have to the late
Governors generosity during his life.
For the last forty years Mr.. Stephens
never had less than ten benefciaries
receiving education for which he fur
nished the whole means. These men
have gone, out into the world, entered
the trade of law, many of them
amassed- fortunes. aH.hile all of them
are well 10 do. Notwithstanding all
this, when a modest sum is askedto
commesnefate the name Of their ben,
efactor most niggardly replies are
received. This shows how much graf
itude1 this people have. The body OF
the late Governor, which yet reposes
in Atlanta, will be removed to Craw.
fordsville in few weeks, where it
will be placed beside that of his
mother, whom he never saw. Mr..
Stephens used to tell that when a
boy it was his wont to 60 to the grave
Of his mother, and, Tying upon his
back thee, he would look up into the
passing clouds and endeavor to catch
glimpse of his mothers face there
Now he is to repose by her forever

Mr.. Editor :. Your denunciation Of

casion for equal surprise and regret
to some Of your readers. We can
not zee I" betrayal Of trust" in his
refusal to surrender the educational
Il. e., sociaD interest Of the mass Of
the people Of the United States into
the hands of the party controlling
the q. S. Government. There has
been repeated evidence since the days
Of negro legislation, forced upon
South Carolina by o. S. bayonets, as
to what the result of such a surren-
der might De; and for one, I sympa.
thize with the sentiment that the gu
preme question in debate was not SO
much one of constitutional right or
policy, as OF self.protection,
TIE bitter sectional spirit illustrat
ed by Senator Sherman, who would
not trust the South to administer the
fund provided by this bill, the intro
duet!on Of amendment after amend
ment fixing the distribution Of the
fund with the q. S. Government, and
the fear lest these conditions should
be overlooked by men Of both parties
in their anxiety to secure the money,
presented the whole matter in a new
light. The humanity Of North and
South was invoked to break down
space enough in the walls of cOnstitu-
tional defence fer the admission Of
this votive Offering to Minerva. Who
could say what use would be made
oil it?

mendatioD for rising high enough to

vantage, to the cost Of enjoying it.
