ANoTHERlsUiT AGAINST SHARON


 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9AThe Ma some Cemetary Association has brought suit in the superior court against ex-Senator Sharon and others on the charge of desecrating grave during the Sharon divorce trial. 4 witness testified that Miss Hill, plaintiff in the case, placed some of Sharon's undergarments in a newly made grave for the purpose of acting as love charm on the millionaire ex~senator. Health Officer Meares, at the Instigation of Sharon's counsel, had the grave opened to see if such articles were deposited. Claim is now made that the grave was desecrated and $500O damages asked. The suit was chiefly brought to test the authority of the health officer in such matters.

The DEGREES OF Providence.
From Harper's for August.


Last summer while the writer was In Anne
liza county, Va, the following incident occur
red, illustrative Of the philosophical manner
IN which negroes accept the DEGREES of Provi-
dence Amelia, 1t will be remembered, Is
one Of the black counties. The negroes occu-
by most Of the old homesteads, and are given
over to ignorance and superstition. The
Wigwam, the old Harrison place. house wen
known in Virginia. is surrounded ON every
eide by hOrdes of negroes, who own small
tracts of land and farm them. One OF these
settlements is at ''the Lodge" once the prop
erty of MIR Robert Archer, a distinguished
Virginia gentleman of the old regime, now,
with all his descendants, dead and gone. My
hostess and / were pealing peaches on the
broad veranda, when Mary Cesar, the dairy
maid, appeared.
Miss Anna. gimme piece o. light bread,
please, marm."
"Who ia sick. Mary?" asked Mrs. H.
light bread being luxury reserved for the
i'll negroes.
''sister Rose Archer" marm." All colored
people claim the fraternal relation, whether
there Is any in reality or not, if they are mem
Ders OF the same church, or have experienced
achange."
'Why, thought Rose Archer lived in Rich
mond. What Is the matter with herr"
Mary's large greasy countenance, which
riyailed bombazine dress for blaekness,
fairly shone.
"Well, Miss Anna, you member Sis Rose
was married to Unk Crutch Henry Archer's
son Wlllum, en- dey moved fun de Lodge to
Willum he'd a fight bout sumthin, en- Sis Rose
hit Wlllum Archer er lick on de head wild a

The peach knife fell. Mrs. H, though
schooled TO Amelia ecceutricities, stood trans
fixed. Then she gasped:
and Williams father and m other let her
stay there after killing their only son?''
Miss Anna" said Mary. in a peculiarly
soothing voice, "i ne Crutch Henry done ak
RUse hucE um she come to all Willum Archer,

This was Monday. Sunday afternoon Mary
re-appeared, an expression Of triumphant ex-
cltement IN her eyes, though her manner was
as gentle and deprecatory as ever.

announced.

Mary smOOthed her apron.

1t Is rather curious that after all the
fuss that the Times Democrat made about
the Federal appointments in Louisiana
it should think it necessary, for the
benefit OF people abroad, to explain to the
public that the newly-appointed New Or
leans Postmaster, Capt. S. II. Buck, 'has
always been an answering Democrat
and a strong believer in party organize
tion," and' that Postmaster Buck should
ind it necessary 10 publicly announce that
when he saw 1t stated that the newly ap-
pointed Superintendent Of mail delivery
in the New Orleans Postofice, Mr.. G. l..
Walker, chad become member of a
Blaine and Logan organization" last tell
he demonstrated with him and finally
Walker abandoned the movement and did
not vote"
Such explanations and announce
ments, however, may not appear to
be 80 unusual as to attract atten-
ton in New Orleans where there
are some curious things 10 be observed in
politics. No doubt the new Postmaster
is a very good Democrat, and it is proba-
BILE that his friend and superintendent OF
the mail delivery was recognized as a
very good Democrat at one time. Indeed,
it may be that the short time he was in
sympathy with the Blaine and Logan
crowd was not sufficient to wean him
entirely from the Democratic party. and
now that he has an office under a Demo-
cratic administration it is probable that
it will be impossible to find any fault with
his Democracy.
But. being comparatively young men,
and having had excellent training as
business men, it may be safely said that,
although it was thought necessary 10
assure the public that both Mr.. Buck and
Mr.. Walker are good Democrats, It Will
never be necessary TO announce that,
as officials, they have failed TO meet
public expectations. Nevertheless, there
are some curious things in New Orleans
politics.

1t Never Fails.

From the Detroit Free Press.
They had been enemies for three long years
They passed each other on the street with
stern faces their wives made fun of each
Csher's dresses. and the children climbed up
on the back fence and called each other
shOddy afistOcrats. Oh, no, there was no
dove OF peace around there, and lots of pc pie
predicted that case of assassination would
grow out Of 1t.
Last evening a whole neIghborhood was as
tOulshed beyond measure. These two fami-
lies who had thrsted for each others scalps
where seen in sweet convention on the lawn,
The men exchanged cigars, the women adj
mired each others latest purchase, and the
blessed little children Rugged each other all
over the grass.
How did the change come about? Well,
neither man ever owned horse In his life,
and Meth of them knew a case OF SPAWN
from blooming instance of poll-evil. Jones
decided, however, to buy horse. He was
looking one over at his hitching-pOst, when
Smith came along. In a moment of forget
fulness Jones remarked:
Say, Smith, you know all about horse.
How old Is this anmal?"
In the jerk of comets tail rancor and Bit
terness were forgotten. The fattery hit
Smith plumb-centre and ripped all the but
tons on his pent up soul. He obeyed the re-
quest, pointed out all the rlngbones, stiff
knees, and splints, and advised Jones not to
buy. They went of arm in arm, and the dove

There appears TO be a growing dispost-
tion among the members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic to turn that insti-
tuition into political machine To advance
the interests OF some OF its members.
few days ago, on the demand OF a
Republican politician Of Philadelphia who
was mad because he bad been turned out
OF the pension agency in that city, several
Grand Army posts made bitter attack
on 3 clerk of the new pension agent, and
succeeded in forcing him TO resign.
IN our dispatches yesterday 1t was
stated that forty-seYen posts Of the Grand
Army of the Republic in New York city
bad sent to all the posts in the State
circular advising all Grand Army men to
blacklist in the approaching State cleo
ton every candidate who, as member Of
the last General Assembly, voted against
the bill in the New York Legislature
giving preference 10 Grand Army men in
civil service appointments.
The Grand Army Yields great power.
Ii is probable that If its members acted
together it could control elections in New
York, and perhaps, in other States. 1t is
noticeable. however, that wherev the
Grand Army makes itself promI-
nent it is generally for the benefit
Of its own members. The oOnclu-
sion, therefore. is that there are a
few men who are determined to use the
organization to further their own schemes
and interests. 1t is not a very difficult
matter for few strong, shrewd men to
do pretty much as they please with such
organizations, and, as a rule, these men
are not the kind to be trusted
1t will be much better from every point
Of view for the Grand Army to permit
perfect freedom to its members in all
public matters. Evil rather than good is
pretty certain to follow attempts to make
the organization q factor in politics.

II is said that Blaine wants Evarts 10
be the Republican nominee for Governor
Of New York, and some Of the wise acres
think this is an indication that Blaine
will not be candidate for the Republi-
can nomination in 1855, and that he wants
the nomination TO 20 TO Evarts. 10 is
more reasonable to suppose that ne really
wants Evarts to be the candidate because
the chances are that the Republicans will
be defeated, and defeat for the governor
ship would NJ once and forever put Evarts

BUSINESS METHODS.
Opening of the Commercial Year-How
to Make y Good Beginning.

Opening of the Commercial Year-How
TO Make = Good Beginning.
1t is customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. 1. Everyone looks forward to the
time when the business pulse quickens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business good start
1T the beginning OF the business year is
advertising. The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper to inform his patrons that he is
still in the land of the living; that he has
weathered the duh season, and again
solicits their trade. The newspaper pub
Usher uses the opening OF the season to
review the business of the past year, and
to give his city a first-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who advertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers,
ought TO bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, in every case,
be productive Of immediate results, but
It will give their business houses a stand
ng abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man OF this
city who expects to prosper can afford to
leave an announcement Of his business
out Of the Trade Edition Of the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued on
Sept. 5. No efforts will be spared to make
it such an edition as every savannshian
