The increase in railway travel in
America since the fares have been re-
duced from four and FIVE TO two and three
cents has been remarkable. In Europe
the fares for first, second and third-class
passengers have all been greatly re-
duced during the last few years, and the
consequence is that the increase in traffic
has been enormous. 1t is thought that
one cent per mile will be the popular
fare in this country within the next ten
years. A few years ago railroad agents
used to contend that it cost two and one
half cents per mile to haul passengers,
but now it is a recognized fact that no
fixed rule for calculating the cost OF such
service will apply. Full trains at low
fares will pay much better than compare
lively empty trains at high. fares. Be
sides, any considerable increase in the
passenger traffic of a road has favor
able effect on the freight business, as it
stimulates trade.

SAVANNAH, July 23.-Edit0r Morning
Ne,es: Before the convention which as
sembles in this city to-day for the purpose
of selecting a suitable candidate to repre-
sent the First district of Georgia in the
Forty-ninth Congress of the United States,
the name of the Hon. Martin L. Mer-
shon (present Judge of the Brunswick
circuit) will be strongly advocated.
The sterling worth and integrity of this
noble Georgian is well attested by the
actions in the primary meetings of many
counties in the district, i. E., instructing
their delegates to vote for him first, last,
and always if necessary. This Of itself, it
seems, is a sufficient guarantee that
his selection will make q unit of
the Democracy in the districG, aud it is
to be hoped that our Chatham delegation
will so construe it; and, while they may
have favorites at home for whom it is
their choice to vote, let them for once
sacrifice personal preferences for public
gOOdI and render 10 this noble son of
Georgia that nomination which will meet
with the appreciation and admiration Of
every well-thinking citizen in the First
Congressional district. CHATHAM.

A DEEPLY AFFLICTED WOMAN.
just a Little Shock Makes Her Bones
Break Like Pipestems.

The wife of a well-knOwn minister OF
this State, SAYS a WinOna, Mimi, special
of the 18th inst. to the Philadelphia Press,
is afflicted with what is known in COM
mon English as ssfragile bones" All of
the bones in her body are gradually turn
ing to a substance resembling hard chalk.
Several years ago an acquaintance in
helping her out of a carriage broke her
collar bone. As soon as it had healed one
Of her arms broke while some one was as
sisting her from a vehicle. A little later
her other arm dropped helpless at her side
when she attempted to make some use
of IT.
After great deal of trouble both of the
fractures were reunited, but in a little
while one Of her arms was broken in
another place, the last time by the suf-
ferer merely lifting sugar bowl. Thus
matters have run along for several years,
the unfortunate woman breaking one of
her limbs every little while. The disease
is gradually spreading, and is now reduc-
ing the bones of her legs to chalk. The
greatest care is exercised to prevent the
sufferer making use Of Der limbs. She is
carefully lifted about, and is moved around
in an invalid's chair. Physicians say if
she should fail from her chair or have an
shock all of the bones Of her
body from her knees would snap into
small fragments, and of course her death

Protection Didn't Do. 1t.

One hundred and twenty million acres at
siOO peR acre would account for twO-ffths of
the increase OF wealth which Mr.. Blaine
claims for the twenty years alluded to. Pro-
lection did nothing whatever to stimulate this
wonderful agricultural advance. Neither did
protection cause the enhanced value OF older
farming lands. which has been particularly
noticeable IN the South, where the demand of
the freedmen for farms of their own has led to
the profitable cutting up Of great plantations
into small estates.

Ex-Minister Sargent says that the Con-

pretty American ladies who have fortunes
or great expectations in the way of
wealth. He says: "The Continent is full
of fortune hunters, and they are contin-
ually on the lookout for American heir
esses. 1t is very seldom that marriages
with them turn out happily. 1 was con-
