WASHINGTON, April 90. James NJ.
Morgan, of South Carolina, appointed
consul--general for Australia, has made
TO the President and the Secretary of
State, at their request, an explanation
OF the charge that he published IL polit-
lcal pamphlet advocating Blaine's cleo
ton last summer. The explanation is
regarded as satisfactory, and Mr.. Nor
gan will be allowed to 90 to his post.
MIR. Morgan was appointed at the
request Of bis brother-in-law, T.. w.
Dawson, of the Charleston Neaos and
Courier. He was endorsed by the
principal Democrats of the State. His
cndorscrs vouchcd for his general
character. 1t was assumed that he
was Democrat. When the charge
was made that he was Blaine man
who bad written pamphlet favorinp
Blaine's election, Secretary Bavard
asked him to explain.
lie said to the Secretary and after
wards to the President that he was q
democrat and had alwas voted the
Democratic ticket. He had never
written q political pamphlet favoring
Blalne's election. Last spring, before
either party had nominated its candi.
dates, he was in Mexico PROMOTING
mining and railway projects, and in
the furtherance of this business wrote
1of private circulation a pamphlet
ABOUT the commercial relations of the
united States, Mexico and the Central
American States, i'm which he referred
approvingly to some phases of Blaine's
IorGlgh policy as applied to Mexico
ana central America. 1t was non
partisan statement in a non.partisan
pamphlet, and had and could have had
no political effect whatever.

Substitute for Matches.

Countless accidents, as every one
knows, arise from the use of matches
To obtain light without employing
them, and so without the danger of
setting things on fire. an ingenious con-
trivance is now used by the watchmen
of Paris in all the magazines where ex-
plosives or intlammable materials are
kept Take an oblong vial of the
whitest and clearest glass and put into
it piece of phosphorus about the size
of pea. Pour some olive oil heated
to the boiling point upon the phos-
phorus; I'LL the vial about one-third
full and then cork il tightly. To use
his novel light remove the cork allow
the air to enter the vial, and then re-
cork it. The empty space in the vial
will become luminous, and the light OBJ
tanned will be equal to that of q lamp
When the light grows dim its power
can be increased by taking out the cork
and allowing q fresh supply OF air to
enter the vial In winter it IS some
times necessary to heat the vial be-
tween the hands, in order to increase
the Huidity of the oil. The apparatus
thus made may be used for SIX months

The Reasons Why 1t Is Not Considerd .
Good Matrimonial Market.
Washington can not be considered a
good matrimonial market. The young
women do not find husbands easily in
the society of the capital. The proof
of the fact is that there is hardly lead
ing official or wealthy family there that
has not one or two old maids upon
its hands. This is notably true Of some
of the most prominent and d;stin-
guished. Here are daughters whose
fathers have large wealth and hand
some positions. Yet their daughters.
who are thoroughly trained, well-nan-
nered and educated. do not find hus-
bands. Whether it is that these young
ladies aim too high or not is unknown.
|: NAV be that their fathers are not
able to give them money enough to set
them up in establishments equal to their
own, and as a natural consequence
these Young women may prefer the
prestige and comfort of their fathers
hand, ONE positions to the obScuri.y of
marrying an humble citizen or the IN
certainty involved in marrying a man
who is not rich. could name a. least
twenty young ladies who have been
behes in Washington society for at least
ten years. There are very few marry
Ing young men in Washington. The
army and navy fellows are the principal
candidates for matrimony- You may
add to this list thirty or forty half
starred attaches of the different
legations But all these young men
are thrifty and are looking out for rich
wives. The noble and energetic young
man who is making his own way in the
world and who is growing up with the
country does not come to Washington
The men who do come here and who
have money are generally already pro-
vided with family or are beyond middle
age, when men do not act hastily and
are not apt to setup new establishments
or incur Few ties. The only real
eligibles are the widowers. They are
considered as fair candidates and every

BOYS ON THE FARM.
The Kind Of Home Life Likely to Attsci
Farmers' sons to the Soil.

The Kind Of Home Life Likely to Attach
Farmers' sons to the Soil.
In the treating of the home life of
the farm. nothing is more common than
the complaint that the best and bright
est of the youth manifest an unwilling
ness to follow the occupation of their
fathers, and go off to swell the popula-
ton of the towns and cities Probably
his tendency has been exaggerated, for
we are sure the young farmers OF to-
Cay are as intelligent and progressive
in their views as any generation past.
But this could not be If it were true. as
represented. that the best element had
gone to the towns The statement has
sufficient warrant, nevertheless, to
merit serious consideration
The question is, whether in the sur
roundiBgs and appointments of farm
life sufficient allowance is made for the
natural wants and tendencies of the
young. Is there sufficient pains taken
to render the surroundings attractive,
and to furnish a reasonable amount of
that diversion from regular pursuits
which the youthful nature demands?
No doubt very many are led away
from the quiet walks of country life by
an unhealthy craving for change and
excitement, stimulated in many cases
by pernicious reading and rose-colored
descriptions of town-life- Others with
better reasons have been impelled to
abandon the occupat on of their fathers
BY that system of drudgery and dull
routine too often in practice on the
farm. and under which young. sprightly
and elastic spirits feel that they are IN
necessarily repressed and circumscribed-
Without going over ground on this sub
ject that has been repeatedly traversed
BY Others, We may say that in order to
keep the boys on the farm. everything
should be done within reasonable limits,
that means and circumstances will per-
init, to cause them to feel and believe
that the pursuit of agriculture is as
honorable and ennobling a5 any they
may choose; that it offers as many
opportunities as any other for the cult
walton of mind and heart, and for the
development of the best and noblest
tendencies of their natures They should
be made to feel that, if they so desire.
they may keep abreast of the times and
be '.up with tine world" in the best
sense of the phrase, even though they
live outside the busy haunts of men.
They should be led to look upon agri-
culture not as pursuit governed by
chance laws, where there is no oppor-
tunity for introducing new methods,
and systems. for research, experiment.
and progress, but that no depar ment
of human effort to-day offers q wider
and more promising field for careful
study and research than that of agri-
culture. Let them learn also that with
less means than would be required in
the cities they may have tasteful and
convenient homes. and live to as high
and useful purposes as they may in any
place on earth-N T. O6seTrer.

How Two HOtel DTumAleEe Met anu

As the influx Of winter tourists in
creases the rivalry between the travelling
drummers for the various hotels grows in
intensity. No traveller is allowed TO es-
cape if his capture is among the posi-
bilities. On the train from Charleston TO
Savannah day or two ago the repre-
sentatives of TWO leading hotels in this
city bad lively tilt. Each
was unacqualnted with the
other. AS the train drew out of
Charleston chance placed Tire two in the
same seat. Though a conversation was
of course soon begun each avoided telling
the other what business he was engaged
in. Finally one asked the other at what
hotel he was going to stop. Thinking to
secure the patronage of his fellow
traveller, the one addressed, still conceal
ing his connection with the hOstelry,
mentioned the one for which he was
travelling as having been recommended
to him as the best in the city. His inter-
rOgatOr promptly told him that he had been
misinfOrmed. The hotel named, he said,
was not first class and catered prln-
cipally to country trade. He then eX-
tOlled the qualities of the one for which
ne was travelling. keeping his connection
with itin the dark. and advised his fellow
traveller to stop at it instead Of the one he
had been recommended to. BY this time
the latter became convinced that they
were both i'm the same business, but
not betraying the fact, agreed TO follow
the others advice. He added that he had a
party of friends on the train and said
that be would induce them to change
their intended stopping place if his COM
paniOn would remain in his seat and keep
it for him. The latter of course agreed to
do so. The other agent then drummed
up the train and succeeded in booking all
If the transient trade, except two, for the
house which he represented. Then re-
turning to his seat he told the
other drummer that everything had
been fixed. Upon the arrival at
the depot the hoodwinked drummer
was surprised to see the omnibus of his
own caravansary's greatest rival filled to
its limit while his own was almost de-
serted. Rushing up to his train friend he
eXcitedly told him that he and his friends
were in the wrong bus, and urged them
to hurry in making a change. Leaning
out of the window his laughing rival
whispered in his ear: "Oh that's all
right; this is the house Pm travelling for.
Come over and have something with me
when YOU get down town. We're both in
the same business, though neither OF us
knew it few hours ago" AS the last
words were spoken the bus started of
and the jig was up.
