Concessions Of a diplomat.

Bismarck, in a letter to his
wife in 1851, says: "In the art Of
saying nothing in a great many
words am making rapid pro
gress. l write many passages Of
letters which read like leading
articles, and if Manteuffel, after
perusing them, can tell what they
are about, he certainly knows
more than I. Every one of ua
pretends that his colleagues are
full OF ideas and plars, and YET
all the time the whole body OF uf
know nothing, and each is aware
that the others know nothing.
No man, not even the malicious
skeptic of o Democrat, can believe
what charlatanism and big pre-.
tense is all this diplomacy" The
candid statesman was then Coun-
cillor OF Legation at Frankfort.

california and Florida.
(Aita.l

The Jacksonville Times Union
acknowledges that the name Of
Italy of America is inappropriate
as applied to Florida, and that it
may with more propriety be as
sumed by California. Florida is
q low, fat peninsula, with an
exceedingly damp climate, while
Italy, like California, is a region
of alternating plains and mount
aims, with a generally dry climate
and agricultural lands often need
ing artificial irrigation. To be
sure, the Florida journalist thinks
his swampy paradise is superior
to the land which was the cradle
Of Latin civilization, as well as to
California, but then it is a matter
of taste. II Florida is satisfied
with being Florida, California has
no reason to desire an exchange
of conditions. Her growth in
wealth and population has been
enough more rapid than that Of
Florida to show which State has
been most richly favored by ma
ture with the elements of material
greatness. But there are some
things which Florida enjoys and
California may we'll desire to take
from her. One of these is the
great volume of tourist travel
which is d ping 80 much to enrich
and build up Florida. During
the past season fifty thousand
tourists, nearly all from the
Northern States, have visited Flor
ida, and the number is increasing
every year, while California, with
in many ways superior attractions,
draws from the East but o few
hundred Winter visitors annually.
Supposing each visitor to Florida
should spend but $25 in the State,
So 900 would represent a total
income from this source OF
81, ,25O, 900. If California could
secure an equally valuable run OF
Winter visitors, it would give a
dozen of our coast towns q sur
prising boom, and communicate
an impulse that would be felt in
every part Of the State. 1t is not
merely the money spent by the
tourists for the comforts and lux
uries of Winter travel, but an
even more important consideration
is the investment Of large sums in
permanent enterprises by many OF
the wealthy viCitors. Northern
men who originally went to Flor
ida for pleasure have built rail
roads, planted orange groves,
drained swamps, and purchased
and improved large areas OF pre-.
viously unproductive land. OF
course Florida has q great advsn-
tage over California in being 80

Strange, isn't it, that Chcvaler Wikofr and
Fanny E!lsIer should both be dying across

father being the once famous Dr.. WikglT
Young WikoT had Il liberal cdgcalion
and on the death of his father came in for

was one OF his groomsmen, WikoT started
the GF6dt IttiuJlic, a newspaper which vas
designed to dcthrone the UcydM. lie Brought
Ryan, afterwards the UeruldS war and
lrls correspondent, TO this coun-
try, and many other bright writers
The paper was to lie illustrated. II failed
however, and Bennett and WikoiT had
lnnumerable legal fights, but finally becomc
warm friends. Wkoff also started Great
Tea house, but 1t burned down Subs, oucntlv

manager. Miss Ellsler was. one Of the four
great dancers who created such furorc

such quartettc of dancers brought toprther

enthusiasm.
The friendship between WlkoT and the

NEW OLD SONGS.
How old Melodies are worked over IN
New S.uisc.
ISt. Louis Globe Democrat

LSt. Louis Globe Democrat
n writer in recent musical publication
Complains that America has no national
music, no songs TO bring tears to the eyes
under circumstances like those when the
Scottish bagppcs played "Thc Camphcls
are Coming" and "Auld Lang Syne" at the
relief OF Lucknow. lie is right All the
popular music of To-day finds its origin ia
the airs OF the odcn times. "Yankce Doc.
dc is an old English version of Chevy
Chase" "Thc Star Spangcl Farmer" is
not original. america" is God Save the
hiuG' worked over "lIail Columbia" is
not an American product. "Jock o Halle
dean has been mutamorphoscd into "Willic.
We Have Missed YOU and John Andcr-
son, My Jo," into "Whcn Johnnie Comes
Marching Home The comic song "Ka.
fool'cum' is a reproduction of the Scotch
air 1--WE Will Take the Highway" and "My
Love is Like the Rel, Rot Rose" is also Of
Scotch origin.
or the latest sJcalci craze songs there is
not one that does not find its nativity in some
previously popular effort. A bar or two of
one melody Is made to serve rs the theme of
another, or by changing the time a whole mir
may be appropriated. often the success is
a dead steal, with little, if any, effort at di..
gulsing its idenity. Take the "Muligan
Guards, one Of the most successful songs of
It's day 1t IS as clean an appropriation of
Llnlards Pm Captain jerks of the Horse
Marines" as could possibly have been made.
vi the other songs of Ed Halrigan, who
mas maze fortune out Of Dave Braham's
acknowledged ability as az adaptcr, there IS
MY Johanna" which Is bull upon the melo.
dy OF "Ihe Last Rose of Summer" Ofthcse
adaptations many thousands Of copies are sold
by the publishers. Any song Harrigan
whites, even though it be. only of a local
character, is sure OF "A sale OF at least %. 900
copies. But he is only one Of the few for
tunate song-wrters. Pond would not rive
500 for the "Mulligan Guards" when iiar-
rlgan offered it to him Now the author
would not take twenty times that amount for
an effort.
W. j. Seaman, the Irish comedian. is an
