The South of To-Day.

Gen. f, NJ. Clarke, of lows, who
was a distinguished Union soldier
during the late war, has recently
made tour Of the South, and has
had his eyes opened in regard to
the temper and possibilities of that
section. Gen. Clarke's observation
are enl bodied in a letter reoen tly
published in the Iowa City Repub-
Iican. He declares that the South
Of to~day presents to the vieW a sit
uation which in social, political and
commercial respects is truly encour-
aging to the non~partiSan and pro-
gresslve citizen" and that 1.-The So
ciaI life of the South to-day is one
of the most wonderful illustrations
of progress ever presented. Gen.
Clarke further declares that Ito the
man or woman VINO goes South tO>
day, carrying and maintaining the
spirit of ju-tice to all, and whose
honest intentions 20 benefit the coun-
try of their adoption are shown by
their works, there is the most hos
pltable welcome, and this without
inquiry as to or consideration Of

School Girla and Dress.

A lady who had taught for over
thirty years gave the following as a
result of her experience: "When a
new scho.ar was introduced, she
said, II always looked first at her
dress. IF that was PLAIN, neat and
tidy, was pretty confident that |
had good material to work with.
For the first two or three years Of
nv teaching / was i'll the habit Of
scrutinizing the features and the
formation Of tile heads, but these
came at last to be quite secondary
considerations. Our school was so
ex xpensive that none but daughters
Of the wealthy could possibly enter

sure that it was on account Of her

Before the attention of the physician
in charge of tho depot, where the
woman boarded the train, could be
drawn to the fact that the by was
suffering from uhe disease, the train
was off, The loud mutterings ofthe
passengers evidently frightened the
mother, for just after leaving the
yard, and while the train VISA run

hour, she took her boy to the plat
form of the car and threw him from
the train. She has been arrested.

Music in Hotels.

Hotel Proprietors and rsstaura-
teurs have long ago discovered the
fascinating powers Of music upon
their customers. We know from
statistics that Wagner calls for a
demand for lager beer, that Strauss
exhilarates and causes cham pagne
to be largely ordered, and perhaps
GwvlIym Grove influences the con
sumption of brandieS and sodas.
We have yet to learn how appetite
Is to be affected. In London the
proprietors Of the HoIborn give their
customers a dinner band. The
Criterion has a chorus Of glee sing
ers TO while away waits through ten
courses, aud the halls of St. James
resound nightly with the combined
forces of dinner band, Moore q Bur
CESS, etc. These facts seem TO prove
that the three-and-six penny dinner
TdIuCI HU0CIb ulOSiC Will ME n4S9is
We have often thought that the
NJ cssrs. Cats rnight give their custo-
mers music, but customers might
linger an hour over a cup of coffee,
which would hardly be remunerative.
1t is a notable fact, however this
may be, that there is q movement
among the proprietoas of dining
rooms in this direction, for among
the new applications for music
licenses are the proprietors Of the
FIRST Avenue Hotel, the Cafe Nom
co, and the Gaiety.-Pall Mail Ga
