"a British traveller, walking one
day in the suburbs of Boston, saw
a woman out on the doorstep whip
ping a screaming child. Good
woman said he, why do you whip
the boy so seyerelyY She answer
ed, because he is 50 ugly" The
Enghshman walked on, and then
put down in his journal: Mem:
American mothers are so crgel as to
whip their children because they
are not handsome '"-Schele De
We're from II. Reeves.
Ugly in the northern states means
almost exclusively illtempered, and
it is common to hear n girl spoken
Of as "quite good looking, but ugly"
In the south ugly is still used, as in
England, in the original sense.
Plain, or homely, is used in the
north for ugly in our sense. A
Welch preacher once said to a Phil
adelphis lady, speaking of a friend
of hers whom he admired very
much: "She is the homeliest per
son / ever saw ''Well, for heav-
ems sake" replied the lady, don't
let her hear that She wonld be
mortany offended" "Why," said
the preacher, 81 meant it as a com
pliment. l mean that she is the
most home like person l ever saw"
''But she will not take it that way,
you may be sure, "::replied the lady.

time Of the plague), so that ] was
forced to buy some roll-tobacco to
smell and to chaw, which took
away the apprehension. Chaw, it
is said, is still heard in Virginia,
even among the better classes. The
late eloquent Watkins Leigh was
asked by a friend what he thought
of James Buchanan the president)
and answered that he had one Sc
rious objection to him, and when
pressed to name it, seid that "once
when he and Mr.. Buchanan we're
sittIngItogether in the United States
senate, the latter asked him for a
chew of tobacco instead of chaw."

THE APPEAL FOR 1885

The advent of the Democratic party
to power on the 4ti OF March will in
vest the APPEAL with more than or
dinary interest. Indeed, the inaugura-
tiOn of Cleveland and the current events
for the year 1885 will be the most i'm
portant in the history of the country,
and the APPEAL will be abreast of
the times. II will remain steadfastly
Democratic, and having faith in the
honesty of Democrats, and believing
that the com bined wisdom oil the party,
as expressed in its National and State
Conventions, is wiser than the factious
utteranees OF inGividua s, it will cling
to its party instead of following tue ad-
vice OF the chronic fault-finders. Com
ing events will mark an era OF unprece-
dented prosperity IN the South, and the
APPEAL will do all it can to develop
aid build up the material interests of
the country, tile great, grand and glori
Gus future of the South, and in wiping
out all sectional prejudiccs. During
the eventiul ear 1885 its columns will
be filled with the latest obtainable in
formation. 1t mas engaged the services
of regular correspondents at Washing
ton, New Orleans and all other impor-
t2nt points, and will continue to al
vance its place among the progressive
journals of the South.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
A Conservator for Gen. Grant,

Philadelphia Times.
George W. Childs, who went to
New York to perfect the plan out
lined by Gen. Sherman, Mr.. Drexel
and himself for the relief of Gen.
Grants financial difficulties, return
ed on Wednesday evening, having
visited Gen. Grant and consulted
with William H. Vanderbilt. Mr..
Childs said yesterday that the affair
had finally been arranged to the en-
tire satisfaction of Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Gen. Grant and his friends.
The entire amount necessary to
meet the payment of the Vanderbilt
loan is provided for. Mr.. Childs's
labors in New York resulted in an
adjustment of the legal difficulties,
so that the payment of the debt
cannot be made a basis for future
seizures on the part of other eredi-
tors of the firm of Grant 81 Ward.
The committee in charge of the
subscription propose to pay Mr.
Vanderbilt 100000, but, instead Of
giving Gen. Grant quit claim, the
securities will be retained by them
as a sort of trust fund during the
generals lifetime. If the court
Should decide that Gen. Grant was
a regular partner in the bankrupt
it will then be impossible for other
creditors to levy upon his relics,
trophies and other personal proper

years ago, is similarly administer

his head that he could make bet
ter hammer than any other man had
made. He devoted himself to the
task for more than quarter of a
century. He studied the chemistry
OF metals, the strength of materials,
the philosophy of form He studied
failures. Each broken hammer
taught him lesson. There was no
part of the process that he did not
master. He taxed his vii toinvent
machines 10 perfect and cheaper
his processes. No improvement IN
working steel or iron escaped his
notice. What may not twenty
years of effort accomplish when
concentrated on a single Object?
He earned success; and now, when
his name is stamped on a steel ham
mer, it is his note, his bond, his in
tegrity embodied in steel. The
spirit of the workman is in each
hammer, and the work, like the
workman, is unrivaled. Mr May
dole is now acknowledged to have
made the best hammer in the world.

sea, admit it.

Mr.. Randall's Visit.

The Hon. Sam. j. Randall. demo-
cratic member of congress from
Pen sylvanrs, on his southern tonr
paid Louisville visit last Monday
He was Enthusiastically received
and entertained by Ihe leading citi.
zens and rendered a public recep-
tion by the hoard Of trade at
which the room would hardly hold
half the crowd of business men.
On Monday night be spoke to an
Overlooking house at the large Lied
erkranz hall.
The effort to helittle the visit of
the distinguished statesman and
give him cold reception broke
down completely.
We have space to give but a
brief synopsis of Mr.. RandalPs
speech; He favored the purchase
OF the national bonds with the two
hundred millions of money in the
treasury, against which there
Is no claim, so that this sum
should flow out in the channels of
trade. He denied the, constitution
al right TO collect taxes in excess
OF the amount required 10 economi-
cally administer the government.
He thought the system of inter
nal taxation shonld only be resort
ed to in times OF war and dire ne.
cessitY, should be abolished as
soon as the government was able to
exist without the sums so raisel.
He favored the repeal now of all
laws relating to internal taxation,
thereby reducing the surplus by
$l20,O00,000, which is collected
froR whisky, tobacco, etc. He
would confine the collection OF
money to the duties on imports
through the agency of the tariff.
He did not hold that the constitu-
ton gave authority to levy a duty
for protection merely. He would
only levy an impost duty sufficient
to fill the gap existing between the
cost of the foreign product and the
home when the two were in compe-
tion, as a protection to home CAPT
tai. He said there conld be no
free trade between countries when
the business rate of interest and the
rate of wages were unequal, for the
country which had the lower rate
of interest and the lower wages
would exhaust the other. He favor
ed What Jefferson called discrimi-
mating tariff, and what Silas
Wright called tariff with inciden-
tai protection. He opposed q high
protective tariff and also free trade.
We give his position in his own
words:
There is another class, OF which L
claim to be a humble member, who
favor an incidental or common
sense tariff, determined upon bust
ness requirements, and determined
to maintain the interchange of com
modities between the TWO countries
by the conditions that exist in
each.
In regard to the abolition Of the
internal revenue system, he said:
The system of taxation known as
the internal revenue system is a
war tax, as a war tax, demand
that twenty years after the war is
over that it shall cease, as it ceased
upon the suggestion Of Mr.. Jefer-
son and Mr.. Madison. We are iu-
vited by Great Britain 60 pursue a
different course. l am not so much
in love with England that want
to benefit her at the expense Of my
fellow cOuntrymeD.
From a careful reading Of Mr..
Randalps speech, we see no reason
why any revenue reformer can diff
fer with him. And the fac that
some do so excites the suspicion
thst they are merely free-traders
disguised as revenue reformers.-

week came, and Olive Merton tieo
on her water proof cloak, for it waf
q dismal. drizzly twilight, an6
went down to the depot to meet the
little western travellers, who Il sht
called "her new children"
But though she stood on the
platform and watched every pas
senger descend from the train
there was no little Evelyns there.
She asked a question or two o
the station master.
is it MISS Merton?" ne said
touching his cap respectfully.
Yes"
The little ladies was took away
by gentleman and is in the even
ing train, miss, and their compli
menis, and you'd find 'em NJ No
- strest.
o ives eyes widened in astonish
ment. She was not aware that hel
cousins orphans had any living
relatives to except herself. Their,
surely must have been some mis-
take.
But there was nothing for it but
to II ctity the mistake as soon
as possible, and so once more put
ting up her little umbrella, Olive
trippcd away through the mist
which had now turned into positive
rain.
No. - street was large
handsome house with brightly
lighted windows, and Olive ascend
ed the steps and rang the door bell
with something like timidity.
A neat maid servant answered
the summons.
'Are Kate and Cora Evelyn
here?" asked Miss Merton.
"Yes, miss. It's all right.
Please to walk in"
Beyond the parlors, a we'll fur
nished library, carpeted with Grim
son brussels and all aglow with the
light of a cheerful CRATE fire, was
otherwise illuminated; and into
this room Olive was shown.
Two rosy little girls nestled on
the hearth rug, playing with a pile
of blocks-and opposite them, with
a countenance as beaming as their
own, sat Miss Agatha Enrol. But
before Olive could utter the excla-
nation of astonishment which rose
to her lips, both her hands were
grasped In a strong grasp, and she
was drawn to George Merton 6
breast.
"Mine, George?'
Yes, yOurs-the house was fur
nished for you, the rooms are to he
your home benceforth, and you are
to be my wife and Agatha's sister. -
"And-the children?' faltered
Olive, looking down at the little
ones, who were clinging to her
dress with JOY ful, welcoming cries,
They shall be ours, dear
Olive"
Il thought, George, that you dis
approved"
so 1 did, Olive, at first, but
when my sober senses came back to
me l could not but see what a sell
fish brute 1 had shown myself, and
what an angel you were. 1 had
loved you before, dearest
reverea ced the spirit of self-sacri
flee and devotion which you had
shown in contradiction to my own
toldness and brutality. So |
thought the least reparation l could
make Would be to make rpadv the
brightest home l could devise for
my little wife that is to be. Dc

on her face.

Wheat or Poultry.

There are thousands of farmers
who barely make a good living, and
some that don't even do that, rails
ing grain and vegetables, who, if
they would devote little time and
expense in breeding the improved
varieties of poultry, could easily
make up something to clay up for a
rainy day. but they persist in go
ing on and on, raising corn, oats,
wheat, tomatoes, etc, and often sell
ing below what it cost to produce
them.
We refer this class of farmers to
the following statistics of the value
of the poultry product of the Uni
ted States for 1882:
Cotton ............$ $4TO,0 600,
Hay. ..-..--.-....-.. 4j6 ,OUU,OGO.
Dairy products ............ 255, 100000
Wheat ASS, S,OGO,00O.
Poultry ................ 560, 100000.
Notwithstanding this, poultry is
the only product we do not export.
This amount was all consumed at
home; indeed, we imported over
100000 dozen eggs in 1882, and
still eggs always command a good
price, and the supply is never equal
to the demand. The poultry bust
ness is really the most important
business in the country; and why
is it? Well, it is not one person in
a thousand who is not fond of eli,
ther poultry or eggs, or both. The
fact is, instead of being within the
reach of all, as they should be,
poultry and eggs are, and always
have been, beyond the means Of
some people to buy. There is no
danger Of getting SO great a number
as to cause The supply to exceed
the demand. There will always be
market for all that can be pro-
duced .-Ex.
