IT takes an editor to do the square thing. Mr..
Naples, of the Norwalk Conn. Hour, in an I'M
guarded moment permitted an alleged humorous
article to creep into his paper referring to a run
upon a certain unnamed bank. A gravel bank
was meant, but before the people grasped that
joke in its immensely, they INDUCED in a run
upon the local savings bank. Now comes Mr..
Naples. like a little man, and announces that on
interest day, July l, he will pay to all dePositors
who have lost interest by withdrawing their
funds on account of that article the entire
amount of interest SO lost. Those depositors,
one and all, can not do otherwise than to forgive
the error and subscribe for the Hour. e

OTTo MULLER, a Long Island man, is unique
in having declined marriage with a woman be
cause he discovered that she was ten years
younger than she represented herself to be. He
is fifty years Of age, and engaged himself to
Miss Caroline Lion, who declared she was forty.
He afterward learned that she was but thirty
one, when he at once arranged a match with
and married a widow of more suitable age.
Miss Lion asks $751; 900 damages. While Mr..
Muller's action is a rare one, it may well be
commended. 1t has been said that there is no
fool like an old fool, and too many old fools have
been i~nveigled into marrying silly girls or
%scheming youngsters playing for a man of
wealth old enough to drop off conveniently at an
early day after the marriage.

ASSOCIATIONS for the systematic collection of
news for the press have long been established.
Cable specials, which appear simultaneously in
a dozen or more papers, are a later development
of the same idea; but the newest piece of eco
nomical literary enterprise in this line is the
publication of the work of distinguished novel
lists in the same manner. Certain newspapers,
neither of which is able to afford a novelist of its
own, have engaged stories and sketches from
Henry James, jr.; w. D. Howells, Bret Harte
and others. the same to appear in each sheet as
if written for it exclusively. The distinguished
authors will, it is to be supposed, prepare their
copy in manifold" Unless they have the fore
thought to provide against the cOnders,ng and
other editing which cable specials and news re-
ports receive after they reach the respective Of
fees, the original writer's of the fiction will not
recognize their work, and war is likely to arise.

FIGHTING FOR DELAY.

As matter of course congress has no
power to relieve the surviving members Of
the Fitz-John Porter court from their bond of
secrecy. Senator ingalls,, as the tool of Logan,
introduced the bill with the view of delaying
action on the Porter relief bill. If it could
be delayed so as not to be reached this ses-
sion, it would be an easy matter to defeat 1t
by non-action during the short session. Then
it would come up before a new congress, and.
if it passed that body, Logan hopes to be able
to place his veto upon it. The text of the
oath is as follows:
E'You A. B. do further swear that
you will not disclose, or discover, the vote or
opinion of any particular member of the court
martial, unless required to give evidence thereof
as witness, by a court of justice in due course
OF law. So help You Cod
Should the surviving members be required
in a due course of law to testify as witnesses
in court of justice, then, and only then,
can the vote or opinion of any member of
the court be revealed. Certainly congress
has no authority to relieve them from their
cath is clear and positive, and the mean
ing is easily comprehended by any school
boy who has advanced as far as the third
reader. The object to be effected by Ingalls,
bill is obvious to the dullest comprehension.

A NAN named Wyman has bee achieving
q little notoriety in Minneapolis the past
week. Fifty citizens asked him to be can
4idate for mayor and he accepted, promising
% be candidate "until the polls closed"
Then came the Prohihitionists and nominal
ed him as their candidate. Prior to his ac
oepting the independent call Geo. A. Pills
bury had announced that he would not be a
candidate against Wyman. AS Wyman had
accepted the Independent call as well
as the Prohibitionist nomination, Pillsbury
was candidate (by juggle ofwords) before
the Republican convention without being a
candidate against Wyman. Having secured
that nomination Pillsbury gets twenty-eight
of the fifty men who asked Wyman to run to
ask him to withdraw, and he kindly con-
sents, leaving the Prohibitionists in the
lurch. Mr.. Wyman has simply made
an ass of himself and proved to be the veriest
political chump on record. The Pillsbury
crowd have used him as a capper and stool
pigon until they have gotten through with
him and now kick him into the street. His
''card to the public shows his intellectual
calibre and his quantity of common sense,
to entitle him to the contempt he has secured.

of to-day is that the brains of men are not
developing in proportion to the advance be-
ing made in the physical world. The proper
play of the emotions keeps the brain healthy,
and should not be checked. He thinks there
is liability to over sleep, and instead of
that a change of FRAMEWORK may proftably
be resorted to for rest There must be thought
to bring out the forces of the brain, and there
have been times when the world thought too
little, as Immediately preceding the French
Revolution, and the present period resembles
that more than any other in the history of
man. The world is given over to love of
money and love of luxury now. It thinks as
little as it did just before the French Revolu-
ton, and the diminution of brain power that
is discernible is due to this cause. Men
must observe certain Intellectual laws to de-
velope and possess brain force, just as GER
tain physical laws must be observed to secure
perfect physical health.

YTRGINLA POLITICS.

The amenities of Virginia politics hardly
entitle the community to be entrusted with
self-government. Considerable excitement
has been caused by newspaper attack upon
Congressman John 8. Wise, by print called
the Campaign, and edited by Captain Nc
Carthy, who was in the Southern army.
Commenting upon Mr.. Wise's kitchen
talk, Mccarthy applied to Wise sundry
degrading epithets, charging him with being
a liar and occupying stolen seat in con-
gress. The object of the publication appeared
to be to involve Wise in a duel, pastime of
which McCarty is quite fond, and as princi-
pal or second he has duelling record of
considerable length, including the killing of
one of his antagonists. Wise has also been
engaged in 6uel, which, however, amounted
only to an exchonge Of shots. In regard to
the newspaper attack upon Wise, he has con-

tented himself with declining to fight
McCarty, and in a card in the Richmond
Wing, says:
eff had intended to recognize the editor of
thatipaper would have done so long ago, for the
articles last appearing are no worse than many
others in the paper called the Campaign"
Again, he says: ''Since McCarty killed Mr..
John B. Mordecai, he has been going smelling
the blood on his hands and painting
for more. Apparently without stake of
any sort he has maiciously sought
then with Senator Riddleberger and next with
myself. Some months before he said aught
against me was informed that he declared his
purpose in a public place to seek difficulty with
me next. General Malone and Riddleberger
failed to notice him and propose to do likewise
What satisfaction can / secure from McCarty? l
would not fight duel. / do not wish his blood
and would be as miserable as he is now if I shed
it, Again, Wise in his letter says: with a
syeet-hoire filled with merry children; with
enough to live comfortably; with paying pro-
fession. ] am happy and want to live. In Gods
name, what would man like Page McCarty put
in stake against this when he stood at ten PAGES
with pistols?''
Whatever may be the faults Of Wise he
shows himself to be better, Drawer man
than the one who sought to embroil him in
duel, and Is TO be approved 1or tne stano ne
has taken. He and McCarty were
college mates, but have been
personal antagonists for some time.
The barbarism of the type Of political war
fare which Virginia has not altogether out
grown has a crushing blow in the conduct of
Wise 1t is said that McCarty is SO greatly
exasperated that he failed to get
challenge from Wise, that he
will assault or assassinate him. If
the matter should come to
this extremity, such a elimination would
produce a moral effect that will practically
end the dueling system, now almost extinct
in Virginia. Public sentiment is largely
arouesd, and is largelyin sympathy with Wise,
though his political association with Malone
and Riddleberger had before made him I'M
popular with the McCarty school of politi-
ciaDs

The Price OF Barbed Wire Raised.

ST. Louis, March st is given out as one
of the results of the recent meeting here of
the barbed wire makers that steps have been
taken for practicable consolidation of all
the barbed wire manufacturers in the country
under the name of the National Barbed Wire
company. Another meeting will be held in
a couple of weeks, at which final arrange
ments for amalgamation OF the new company
will probably be made. The causes of the
advance of one cent per pound in the price
of wire, made at the late meeting, are said to
be the great demand for wire and the re-
cent rise of S. to So per ton in the cost Of
the raw material.

CURRENT CONTENTS.

THE Washington papers in reporting the sit
ting and proceedings of the Women's Suffrage
convention, devotes about as much space to per-
sonal descriptions Of the ladies as is given to
what is said and done. From Of these re-
ports the following etchings are taken: Mrs.
Elizabeth Boynton Harbert, Chicago lady, edi-
tor of a woman's department of paper of that
city, spoke upon the Craftsmanship of Wo-
men, subject which she treated in an histori-
cal manner, showing what women had done as
Legislators since the time of Deborah. Mrs.
Harbert wore black velvet gown, with high
white ruching about her neck, and bunch of
white roses on her breast. Her white hair was
parted in waves on each side. While the speaker
had manuscript before her. she was not closely
confined to it, and her voice, soft and pleasing,
was heard throughout the hall. The subject dis
| cussed by Mrs Lille Devereaux was the ''Un-
known Quanty in Politics." Mrs. Blake was
dressed in black silk, with an overdress
of brocaded velvet and a bunch of pink
| flowers on her breast, stepped to the
front of the platform, and, with the use of few
notes, spoke in the forcbe style for which her
platform efforts have been noted. The speaker
| referred to the influence of women in one of the
! campaigns Of Henry Clay, and in the struggle of
the free soil party in 1856. But while, she said,
women had always been given share in prepar-
| ing the feasts, the men generally eat them. She
said that the women in New York buttered 500
biscuits in the campaign which elected Mrs Hayes
husband. The speaker said that the influence Of
women represented the 'X'' in politics, and their
power would, perhaps, determine the next pres-
dental election Mrs Martha Mcclellan, of Ohio,
spoke upon Disabilities The lady wore a
grey silk dress with a hat to match and white
lace handkerchief about her neck. She spoke
entirely extempore, and her delivery was attrac-
tive and effective.
