One OF she most notable facts in con-
neotion with the candidacy of the sew.
eral aspirants for the Democratic NOM
ination has been that with the exception
of General Butler aud ex-senator Thur
man, not one of the number has at his
back any popular demand. The contes.
has bean made and the verdict of the
convention rendered purely ON the
question of expectancy, and as must
always be the case, the result will not
arouse public enthusiasm. Ia this re-
spect more than In any other the Demo
cratic Convention has differed from its
Republican predecessor. and the same
conditions will Affect the canvass and

There are 1900 street car drivers and
conductors in the oity of New York.
They are the hardest worked people in
America. They go on duty at 6 o'clock
la the morning, and il is 10 or IL o'oloe k
at night before they get back TO their
homes. They never see their children
by daylight; they work every dav in
the year. Two-thirds of the twenty
four hours are devoted for pittanos TO
the service of graspine corporations.
Last winter the New York Legislature
took pity upon this class of overworked
and underpaid serfs, and in order TO
put stop 10 the barbarous policy pass
ed law making il mis- iemeanor for
any such employer to exact more than
twelve hours daily labor from any en-

Philadelphia is Quaker City, and
lays great stress on cleanliness, modesty
and decorum. Recently curious con-
troversy has arisen in that staid old
burg. great many rowing matches
take place on the Schuylkill river, with
in the boundaries Of the park. The
oarsmen row in sleeveless shirts. The
park is of course public resort, and
the commissioners thereof with their
lady friends walk therein. The oars
mems baro arms shocked them, and the
park commissioners issued an edict
against this grave exposure. The oars
men protest. They say they cannot do
justice to their abilities in "A shell with
their arms clothed, bat the commits
sioners have ideas on morality and pro-
priety which must be enforced, though
rowing lanRuish and die. Some of the
amateur oarsmen are prominent society
men and protest that they will apply to
the Legislature for the creation of a COM
mission to regulate the drawing room
and ball room costumes of ladies, of
which they brutally say there is equal
need. They will do it however on be-
half of the tender sensibilities and re
firing modesty of the park commission
ers rather than their own.

EARNINGS FALLING OFF.-The approx
ination of earnings of the Northern Pa
cific in June,the last month of the fiscal
year, was published recently, and the
previous returns enables pretty fair es-
Inmates to be made of the showing the
company can make for the year. The
earnings for June are placed at $1,095,-
784, and with $l1.240.453 gives \ total
for the year of 81, 1896, 237. an increase
of S4,7U0,778 compared with the year
1888. The gross earnings for May were
81 ,2s6, 200, while those for April were
81 100000. Unless a halt is speedily
reached in this downward movement,
the company will soon not be earning
enough to pay operating expenses and
interest. Some time ago better result
than this was anticipated, because of
the enormous increase in gross earn
ings. However, May and June, though
showing large increases, compared with
the same months of the previous year,
have not fully answered. expectations in
that respect.

The Dismal Swamp.

The Dismal Swamp, says an exchange,
is not vast bog sunk low in the ground
into which the drainage of the surround
ing country flows. On the contrary, it
is above the level ground some fifteen
or twenty feet, rs was demonstrated by
actual surveys. Instead of being re-
ceptacle into which rivers and streams
enter and flow, il is, in reality, an i'm
mense reservoir that, in its sponge like
bulk, gathers the waters that fall from
the heavens and pours them into five
different rivers, which flow onward to
the sea. Any one would imagine that
the Dismal was vcritable charnel-
house that spread its miasma through
out the country. On the contrary il is
the healthiest place upon the American
continent. The swamp is formed on
tirely of green timber. There IL nc
tually no decomposed wood one sees
large trees lying all around in the forests
and swamps. The two principal woods
that grow in the place are juniper and
cypress, which never rot. They fall
prone to the ground like other trees,
but instead Of the wood accompanying it
turns into peat, and lies indssoluble BY
air and water for ages-perfectly sound
There is nothing in the swamp to create
miasma; no rising Of the tides and
decomposition of rank vegetables no
marshes exposed TO the burning rays of
of the sun All is fresh and sweet, and
tho air is laden with as sweet odors as
the fragrant woods in May, when the
sweet odors Of the flowers mingle with
the pungent scent Of the pine and dog
wood. In the antebeitun, days all the
planters were anxious to hire their slaves
to shingle-lnakers in the smamps on ac
count of its health Mr.. Reddick,
well-known contractor, says he worked
gang of fifty hands fifteen years in the
Dismal getting shingles, aud in all that
time there was not single case of fever
and agus. have seen numerous af-
fdayits Of overseers and contractors who
have lived in tho smamp their lifetime,
and they have never known of death
caused by miasma, or solitary instance
of ague and fever. The air is pure aud
sweet, and the water, tingod to faint
vine hue by the juniper, is as potent a
medical drink as are the famous water
ing places of the Virginia mountain
pass" 1t is often used by naval vessels
going on long foreign cruise. on nc
count of the healthful properties, and
also because it keeps fresh and clear for
years. II is a strong aud invigorating
tonic, with very pleasant taste
