The anxiety for quick riches Is fully ex-
pressed in tho blind pools Of Wall street
They are operated on tho distinct under
standing that no one save he who runs tho
pool shall know Its operations. At first
glance It wouli, indeed, seem surprising that
any man would entrust to another man any
considerable sum Of money with which TO
operate as he pleased if Wall street Yet,
as In the case Of an ordinary pool, there arc
many men who can get many other men 10
put up capital by merely saying that he IS
going to run a blind pool. The man who
gots up the pool Is supposed to know just
what he is about and TO possess information
ON which he bases his transactions. No
doubt II Jay Gould were to 20 the round Of
bis Wall street acqunintances, saying that
be was soliciting money to run q blind pool
in Western Union or Union Pacific, he could
raise So 00,0 900 In as many days. The cash
would pour In TO him like a cataract Yet.
Gould would do as he pleased with this
money, and no would only DO accountable to
the pool to tho extent OF saying that 1t had
been a failure and all the money was gone,
or II had been a success and would pay a
dividend Of 30 much per cont.
Under the operations OF a blink there Is
no I'D vice TO be asked or given; there Is no
responsibility, or no explanation TO be asked.
An the money raised goes into ons mans
hands, and ho acts secretly and alone The
kings of the street are mystihed as 10 the
strange behavior Of a stock, not knowing
that the manipulation OF a blind pool Il in

a rush for 1t, and the price leaps onward

lJoe Howard VA Boston terald.l
A young mar comes to New York from
the country. and the first thing that strikes
him isn't the beauty Of other peoples clothes,
not the elegance OF his companions attlre,
but his own rusty boots, his own mittens,
strike him as being odd, and Il there Is any
thing a well balanced man dislikes, IL is
oddly, or anything which attracts to him
special attention. So he, without intsn-
tioual eping Of his fellows. determines to rid
himself Of such peculiarities, such unique
nesses as make him a marked man. His
first step in that direction confronts him
with expense, and a great expenditure which
Is, as rule, incommensurate with his in
come.
Ninety-nine men in every hundred seek
advice. The hundredth man, who may be
the first, but one In the hundred, Is strong
enough to rely upon his own common sense
and Judgment and discretion, while the
other ninety-nine seek counsel and advice
They like TO hang on TO the oak OF expert
ence and suck from the sturdiness Of a con
s~picuous leader the virility lacking in their
WI composition They learn that there
arc ways and means and devices by which
unearned money can be obtained and spent
They are not SO anxious about the ways and
means and devices by which that spent
money can subsequently, be honestly OBJ

The above address of the British gen

campaign. Operations have ceased for
the season and will be renewed in the u
tumn, when the advance on Khartoum
will be again undertaken. Marked copies
of newspapers containing the announce
ment win doubtless be addressed to the
Mahdi, who can take measures according
ly. He will probably put all the sand

ish forces when the campaign reopens.

IHNNININ Ilt AAtI1HI
A good share Of the inventive talent OF
the day is given to devising machinery for
keeping people honest The whole idea OF
mechanical honesty Is based upon the theory
that the conscience is quite extinct. Years
ago various meters and gauges for prevent
ing whisky frauds on the government were
a source OF fortune to those lucky enough to
get the government 10 adopt them, but they
did not pre- vent the frauds. Everywhere one
goes nowadays there Is the rattle Of wheels
and tho changing OF bells 10 announce that
thero Is a person near who will take, IL no
has a chance, what does not belong to him.
There is the street car conductors bell
punch; the annunciator that records tho
number OF passengors; the box for the
deposit OF fares padlocked and inaccessible
to the bob-tail car driver; the alarm on tho
cash drawer which rings whenever 1t is
opened; the noise and chuck Of the artificial
cash box running from the salesman to the
cashier at the desks in the large retail stores,
and this Is to be supplanted by a machine
which records in large figures the value Of
every sale, and which without ringing n bell
cannot be altered until the next sale Is
effected. Whether by long habit and the
law OF heredity these artificial consciences
viii breed natural ones viii be disclosed
only to thdss living long enough TO watch
the experiment.

Some years ago there lived in a village
which Is now included il the limits Of
Boston, a blacksmith whom We shall call
Green. He vas gruff in bis manners,
and on occasion used the strongest kind
Of language; but, as he was a master
workman, his custom was large, and the
owners of fine horses for miles around
were in the habit of taking them to
Green's TO be shod. One day q new Gus
toner, but not a stranger to the old gen
tleman, drove up. His name was Blod-
gett, but he had been abroad and had re-
turned considerably Frenchifed, as well
as Anglicised. and his name had been
transformed into Blogee. He wanted a
shoe set, and, after the job had been COM
pleted in the usual satisfactory manner, he
inquired, taking out his pursel:
"Aw. how much is the chawge, Mr..
Green ?"
The reply came short and sharp, Hail
a dollar"
"Hawf adollarl hawf a dollar Why,
wealy, I've been out of the country 50
long thatI don't know what hawf a dollar
is, don't you know, . answered Mr.. Blogee
handing over a dollar bill.
The blacksmith stood fora moment in
speechless amazementi then thrusting the
bill into one pocket he brought forth a
quarter from another. and handing it to
Blogee with the remark, Il thought every
darned fool knew a half dollar was rs
cents" marched back to his forge.

The New Iberia Enterprise says that
when an able bodied tramp comes
to that town, begging, he is put a.
once at work upon the streets, and
generally it does not take him long
to find an opportunity to show bis
heels to the town.
And when:.a sick or crippled OBJ
ject of charity comes along he is
sent to the Charity Hospital in
New Orleans and thinks that other
parishes should do the same.
This parish always sends true oh
jects of charity that are sick, to the
Hospital in New Orleans, but such
is not as the Enterprise observes,
the case with some other parishes.
They send their sick to the next
parish to be a burden upon their
neighbors. This parish has been
heavily taxed by other parishes
who send their unfortunate to us to
care for.

Sectional Strife.
EDITOR TINES :-Why is it that

EDITOR TINES WHY is it that
here in the north and eSpe.i lily in
Iowa, a state noted for its educa
tional and literary citizens, hate
rules the breast of so many men in
the Republican party? 1t seems
their only object is to stir up hate.
aud keep alive the bitter animosi
ties Ofthe war their continual am.
To Judge from the Republican plat
form of Aug. 2S in this State there
aie no principles they as a parry
have to uphold, no aims whereby
they ale to be led to better and
higher things politically; nothing
TO accomplish, nothing to do but to
breathe forth revenge and spite.
The above IS clipped from the
O>kaloosa Times in Kansas.
The ''why is it" is found in the
TACT that the Republican party is,
and always has been, a sectional
party. 1t arose in the scheme of
%liberating the slaves of the South,
and has accomplished that object.
1t has never been able to elevate
its plane into a national one. Sec
tional hate. revenge and spite have
formed it's diet.
Sumner leftit because lie couldn no:
raise it above the dignity of asect'on
al party, Greedy abandoned it and
died in an effort to raise it to a IA
tiona! plane. Many others of its
ablest statesmen have fed it's ranks
because it could not be induced to
abandon its sectional animosities
