Governor Hill, of New York, in his
rnassaoa To the I,epislafnra saVs.


1t may be safely asserted that the
administration of Gov. Cleveland for
the two years past has more than met
the just expectations of the people,
and made its lasting impression on
the annals of the State. 1t has been
brilliant in its sterling integrity, safe
in its true conservatism, bold in its eff
forts tor reform, faithful in its adher-
ence to pledges, and vigilant in its op-
pos. ton to corruption. Its straight
forward and business-like conduct,
united with unquestioned honesty of
purpose, has won for it and himself
the warm approval of his political
friends, the sincere respect of his OPP
ponets, and the answering and un-
selfish support of independent citizens
everywhere. That he may meet with
the same degree of success in the
greater Office to which he has been
called 10 the earnest wish of all citizens
of this State and of every lover of
good government

The Blair Educational Bill.
Morristown Gazette.

This bill. which appropriates sew
enty-seven millions of dollars, to
be paid in eight years, distributed
upon the basis Of illiteracy-inabil-
lily to write-ought to he made u
law by the present House OF Rep
resentatives. Yet we regret to see
that there is strong opposition to il
by members from some of the
Southern States. Tennessee Con-
gressmen, we are gratified to learn
from Washington correspondents,
are unit for the bill. Her Sena-
tors were divided upon its passage
In the Senate, Jackson voting for Ii
and Harris against Ii. The people
OF Tennessee will thank Senator
Jackson for his earnest efforts In be-
half OF the bill. Learned in the
law as he is recognized TO be, there
can be no question as to its consti-
tutiOnality. The sticklers that ev-
erything should be "plainly consti-
tutiOnal" ought to have wisdom to
know that il would be childish now
to fight against what the great ma
jority of the people have settled to
be constitutional and they have
the further sense to realize that the
United States Government, having
made the negroes voters, it Is but
right that that Government should
bear q portion OF the expense in ed
ucatiug such negroes. The intelli-
gent people of the State demand
that things should be dealt with as
they exist and not as some old fogy
dreamer would have them to exist.
The practice of the Government on
all such questions has been so uni
form and SO we'll established that 1t !
ought 10 be received as settled. The
day has passed when the intelligent
x-payers OF the State are strong
ly for a measure that their repre-
sentatives will be excused in de-
feating il because it was contrary TO
what "hair-splitters" on constitu-
tiOnal points who lived some thirty
years ago thought was not or might
not be constitutional. IL IL, indeed,
settled in practice, and only those |
theoretical cranks who give more
weight 90 their impracticable the
ories than to ,ound, practical sense
will be controlled by any such OBJ
lection. The bill ought to be, and
we hope will be pressed but the
trouble will be to get It up, SO few
weeks CT the session remain. Ii is |
conceded that upon q square vote
1t will be carried by large vote in
the House. Its passage will be of
great benefit to the whole country,
especially to the South. 1t is to Be |

Tradition, that old stOry-teller,
tells the following about two men
who were both generals in the Con-
federate army. In the war with
Mexico there was an Independent
company from Kentucky attached
to the Sixth US. Infantry of which
Jno. s. Williams was captain, and
Roger Hanson first lieutenant.
When peace was declared these
officers returned to the States and
located in the same small town.
One day Hanson met Williams
on the street and said: "LOok ERE
Cerro Gordo this town is not big
enough to hold both Of US so we
will, right now, draw straws to see
which shall leave IL in twenty-fOur
hours" Williams consented to the
proposition, drew the fatal straw,
and quietly departed. Neither Of
these soldiers liked the other, but
each knew mighty well the other
would fight. b. F. Z.

A Pathetic History.


BRIGHT YOUNG SOCIETY GIRL SHUT UP IN A
LUNATIC ASYLUM FOR rwENTY-sEvEN YEARS.
When the twelfth national conference Of
charities and corrections met in this city last
June one of the delegates made the following
statement:
"A beautiful and charming young lady, Just
out OF her teens, used to wealth, Is extravagant,
himself unable TO restrain her habit of spend
ing, concludes she requires custOdial care,
places her in q hospital, Needless Of her earnest
protests; he dies and leaves her there. There
She has been nearly thirty years, aud is now
nearly sixty years of age, and still begging to
be released, but the custodian still thinks She
needs 'custodial care, and she remains to this
day under restraint Of her personal liberty"
The lady referred to was Miss Adrianna B.
Brinkle, who has been confined in the State
Lunatic asylum at Philadelphia for y years
on the extraordinary charge of "extravagance
and eccentricity." She is a daughter Of the
late DIR. Vim. Draper Brinckle, who moved in
the highest circles of society In Philadelphia
thirty years ago. Miss Brinckle was an ac-
knowled belle. She was extremely extrava-
giant, but change in the financial standing Of
her father made it impossible for him to pay
her bills as he had done before. Adrianna was
unable to overcome her extravaganza tastes,
such cases ordered O piano and q set Of furni-
ture, which she sold before paying for them.
This proceeding scandaIized the set to which
the Brinckles belonged, and, as it was stated at
was sent to the asylum, entering 1t in July,
1868. Her father soon afterwards died, but
leaving his daughter in confinement
The public statement above quoted lead TO an
day Of the lady. Miss Brinckle is now q gray
haired woman Of sixty, In the full possession Of
all her faculties, and In good bodily health. She
win remain at the Conyalescents Retreat for
next winter to friend who was loyal to her
during her imprisonment.

TrOftiny Horses.

THE INCREASE IN SPEED EXPLAINED BY A
VETERAN THURMAN.
From the Philadelphia News.
asked q veteran horseman what had
brought about the increase in the speed of trot.
tiers. He answered:
1.-THE increase in the speed of trotting horses
has been brought about by careful attention to
many things, and one of these is breeding. The
breeders, when they found a good point in a
certain strain that combined well in breeding
with another particular stock, kept expert
menting In that direction. So they found out
that certain good qualities Of reach, stamina
and obedience could be combined with other
good qualities in other strains, such as freedom
the end of the race, and the product OF such
crosses could be successfully bred with some
thoroughbred stock.
Next to the stock the sulky has been the
most improved. The old-fashioned sulky was
a thing fcarfully and wonderfully made weieh
ratified around the curves like a hay wagon;
not patch to the neat, compact, immovably
rigid modern trotting sulky. The average mod
ern trotting sulky weighs fifty pounds-and 1t
doesn't vibrate like u pendulum from side to
side going around corners. Ii trails right be-
hind the horse, ciings to the track like q bum TO
rich spendthrift and jolts the rider never a
bit"
"What else has helped to lower the recorde-
"Oh, the improvement in everything. The
all the turns; the weights have been invented.
and now horse that is out Of balance can De
brought right where we want him. The check
reins have been SO improved that an old horse
man wouldn't know them. The boots are made
to ut horses feet, instead of wabbling around
that there seems no chance in this direction for
