A Romance.

Malcolm Douglas, IN Christmas So. Nicholas.
Each day, bowling toward her politely,
He wooed her with passion intense,
Reproving his little pet poodle,
That barked at her cat through the fence.
I've question to ask" he one murmured,-
will you be, little woman. my wife2
With none but my poodle to love me,
I'm leading too lonely life"
And her round, dimpled cheeks were like
roses;
although adore You," sighed she,
never eau marry yOu-never!
Your dog with my cat won't agree"
ut is true" he said. stroSing his poodle;
but then I've been thinking of that.
You needn't distress Yourself. darling,
For you can get rid Of your cat"
What! Part with my dear little SNOWFALL!
never could do itn' she SAID.
you're cruel to ask it. when yon, love-
Can give up your poodle instead"
"But he knows how to carry "A basket"
He sNid. with a qulvering lip;
sand he'll jump through a hoop. and-I love
him!
Icouldn't dispense with Door Gypw
'Then you see how it is, dear" she nodded.
Il see" he replied; ut is Fate!"
and. until they make ny, dear" she added
1.-THE best thing, Pm sure. is to wait"
So, each day, bowling toward her politely,
He wooes her. with passion intense,
Reproving his little pet poodle,
That barks at her Cat through the fence!

From the Ihsdidsldp polls Journal.
WAsHINGTQN, Nov. % There is a good
deal of underhand work gong en- at the vari-
Gus consul ates. The emolumPnts OF the con-
sular agencies are small enough in any event,
but there are come scoun" rels in the &C" sular
service who hold commercial agencies under
their thum hs, who. by the assistance OF sort
OF blackmail. are enabled to increase their
own conf ensation largely. Icould cite many
instances in Canadian ana European ports
where this backmailing has been successfully
carried on for years, and where it may be
going on now for aught any one knows TO the
contrary.
A Treasury official said:
"4es, there is deviltrv of this kind going on
all the time. few years ago it was custo-
mary for consuls in Canada to issue certiti
Gates Of invoice in blank form to shippers who
would pay for them. and more than half the
undewal uatlon of invoices, OF which 80 much
has been SAID in the past year or two, has
been possible simply because there is no
proper method of supervising consus under
the acts OF Congress relative to the service"

A young Postmaster of village post Office
was hard at WORK when a gentle tap was
heard upon the door and in stepped bashful
maiden of Ii with money order, which she
desired cashed. She handed it to the official
with bashful smile, who. after closely ex-
aiming it. handed her the money it called
for. At the same time he asked her if she han
read what was written on the margin of the
order.
mo, have not" she replied, ''for cannot
make it out. wiz You please read it for me?"
The young p stma,'er rea as follows: II

CHANGING at the bashfnl girl he said "NOw,
have paid you the money and l suppose you
want the kisses?'
Yes" she said, III he has sent me any
kisses | want them, too"
1t IS hardly necessary TO say that the rest of
the order was promptly paid and in a scien-
tihc manner at that, and emineDtly satisfac-
tory to the country maiden.
After she arrived home she remarked to her
mother: "Eh, mother, but this post Office sys-

The Golden Decade.
From Qneries.


DR.. Beard states that from an analysis of the
lives Of a thousand reDresentativp men In all
the great branches of human effort. he had
made the discovery that the golden decade
was between 80 and 40, the silver between 40
and 50, the Drazen between 20 and 30, the IRON
between 80 ant 60. This superiority of youth
AMI middle life over old age in original work
appears a. the greater, wnen we consider the
fact that nearly all the positions OF honor and
profit and Photographers rships and public
statOns7-are in the hands # the cd. Repu-
tation, like money and position, is mainly con-
fined to the Old. Men are not widely Known
until long after they have done the work hat
gives them their fame. Portraits OF great
men are "A delusion; 5 atues are lies. They are
taken when meu have become famou-, which,
on the ave age. is at least Is years after they
did the work which gave them their fame.
Original work req dires enthusiasm. If all the
original work done by men under Is were an
initiated, the world would be reduced to bar
barism. Men are at their best at that time
when enthusiasm and experience are most
evenly balanced; this period on the average
is from % to 40. In the life of almost every
old man there comes point. Oner or later,
when experience ceases TO have any educa-
ting power.

A Much Needed Connection.


The agitation in behalf of a railroad 10
connect Southern Georgia with Middle
West Florida continues. IL is a matter
of great Importance to those sections Of
country. Distances are not now OF great
importance. The question is. how long
does it take 10 get to a placer Fast
trains and malls bring distant places
close 10 eacn other, while slow trains and
roundabout routes make places which
are really near together very distant from
each other IN the matter Of communioa-
ton.
savannah formerly derived substantial
benefits from the trade OF Middle West
Florida, but no enterprise or energy
can overcome slow mails and slow trans
portation. The merchants Of Savannah.
as well as the people OF Thomasville, Tai
lahassee, Monticello, and other places.
are vitality interested in having road
built 90 connect South Georgia with Mid.
die West Florida. VIII not some or
our business men move in this matterY
Let them do what they can TO assist the
enterprise. Neither they nor the peo-
pie along the proposed line, how
ever must stand with their
arms folded expecting the railroad
companies to do everything. The money
invested in Savannah in railroads in the
past has been the making OF her. Some
Of IL, it is true, was lost, as far as the
actual subscriptions TO shares Of stock
was concerned. but the business brought
here by railroads has given the city a
wonderful impetus. More railroad con-
neotlons mean more business. The long
trunk lines should have more feeders.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. DECEMBER /, 1885,


The Boston Post now and then under
takes to discuss subject OF which 1t
knows very little. Speaking Of the pro-
hibition victory AZ Atlanta it says: "Some
Of the Southern States are afflicted with
the diseases from which the Northern
States suffered years ago. Teetotaiism
in its most malignant form is upon them,
and Atlanta, Georgia, has just taken 1t
badly. The sensible people there are very
angry over it, but we can offer them much
consolation founded on Northern expert
ence. The disease is never fatal and
rarely lasts long. The only apparent ex-
ception 10 this rule is the State Of Maine,
but this is no: a real exception.
Names pretense to be prohibi-
ton State is a humbug. 1t has
its origin in pride. Just as Brights dis
ease was named for Bright, its dlscoverer,
so was the prohibition disease named for
Maine, it's first victim. The people up
that way are queer. They think Blaine
is statesman, for instance, and they are
proud Of him. They are likewise proud
Of this disease named in their honor, and
they pretend that they still have it. But
it is not true. They drink hard cider by
act of Legislature, and never lack a suf-
hcient supply Of better liquor. Let the
South take heart. This thing will not
asst"
The conditions are very different in
Georgia from what they were in Maine
when prohibition was adopted there, and
from what they are in any Northern State
at the present time. The strong prohibit
ton sentiment in Georgia is due largely
to the fact that the State has an immense
ignorant negro population, whose moral
and intellectual condition is, to say the
least, deplorable. The best interests of
the State demand the improvement of the
negroes. Very little can be done for them
as long as there is free whisky.
At every crossroads and at the
corner Of every plantation there is
dram-shop, where the meanest sort of
whisky is sold. The wages OF the negroes
goes to these dram shops. Little is LETT
for educational purposes, or for home COM
forts, and the negroes are rendered unrelia-
bic and practically unfit for laboTers. They
They will have whisky, and so they steal
from the planters. The planters are thus
injured in two ways. Their laborers are
ruined, and they are robbed of a large
per centage Of the products of their plan
tations. The cross roads whisky shops
readily exchange whisky for stolen cotton.
The planters have been forced to adopt
prohibition to protect themselves from
ruin. The same condition OF affairs ex-
lists on the turpentine farms, in the lum-
Der districts and in the cities. The grOg-
geries are everywhere, and the money of
the laboring man goes into them and be
gets no return. Murder and felonious
assaults are numerous, and whisky is the
cause OF nine-tenths Of them. OF course
there are other and very strong reasons
for the prohibition sentiment in Georgia,
but the necessity for putting whisky out
Of the reach Of the negro population is in
itself sufficient argument for prohibit
ton.
