The Temperance Reform Growing.


Capt. j. w. Craig, Master of Roadway
and Transportation for the Charleston
and Savannah railway and President of
the Roadmasters' Association of America,
in 4 letter to the editor of the Railway
Service Gazette, expresses the following
excellent sentiments: THE time is not
far distant when temperance will be re-
quirement of all grades of employees in
railway service. The demand for the re-
form is growing greater each day; the ne
cessity for strictly temperate men TO con-
troll the lives and fortunes travelling on
railroads is so apparent that no other al
tentative is left. There is no dlsputing
the fact that liquor is poison benumb-
Ing all the faculties aud utterly uniting
the drinker for any long continued SER
vice. This being the case there ia no
such thing as 'bracing up with liquor.
Slowly but surely it becomes O
mans most bitter enemy. Rall
road companies are entitled to tine
full benefit Of the abilities of their en-
ployes. No man can be Incorporate, and
still be clear-headed and possessed of
steady nerves. Incorporate men are not
competent TO have charge of the lives and
property daily intrusted to their care.
Tie railway service requires the nOhlest
and best qualities Of man, and to possess
lheSe Ill tue lultesb Ae Hust dUsJdlu Ioil
the use Of intoxicating liquors. To say 4
man only occasionally takes drink is
not sufficient. In an unguarded moment
be will yield TO the tempter. Muddled,
and with unsteady nerves and staggering
step, ne goes TO his duty, placing hut
dreds OF lives in danger. the sentiment
in regard to temperance reform Is grow
ing daily in favor with employees them
selves, and it can be said to their hOuor
that they stand foremost in the ranks OF
the reform movement, and to railway en-
pioyes belongs the glory of giving 1T the
most energetic assistance"

The Jacksonville. aanatee and Gulf.

A meeting of the officers OF the Jackson
vile, Manatee and Gulfrailroad was held
at Jacksonville last week. Lakeland and
Plant City were decided upon as the
terminal points, which are virtually one
and the same, being only about twelve
miles distant from each ether. Barto W
desired to secure this distinction, but it
was not to the advantage of the road to
grant it.
Col. Draue, the president OF the com.
pany, good railroader and a first-class
business man, reports everything work
ing satisfactorily and tremendously, not
only with the company, but with the peO-
pie generally in the section through
which the road is to be constructed.

Amazing Extravagance.
Atlanta Constitution. l

The eXtravagance of rich Americans is incredible. Cleopatra dissolving a pearl in her morning draught, and Lu- cullus dining on the brains of peacocks and tongues of nightingales are faint suggestions of the luxury of American millionaires.
 About twenty years ago Mir, Morgan, d wealthy railroad contractor. married school-teacher In 1876 he died, Ieav- ing her five million dollars in her own right, A few months ago she died, and the coming sale of her diamonds, bric-a- brac and paintings has put gossip on her tracks. The disclosures are astounding She spent $l00,000 for her collection of orchids, flowers that bid fair to revive the tulip mania of Holland. Her con servatory of these ugly but fashionable plants brought only $l0,000, so that it cost her $S0OO0 net and interest to own them d few months. She has one vase for which sine paid $i5,000. It is less than foot high, and is known as the peach blow vase. It was made in l6l4 in China, and the delicate beauty of its tint has never been reproduced, and perhaps never will be She paid $60, 0,0O0 for single picture, $l,995 000 for her collection of 2+0 paintings, The Tifanys made hera solid silver candle bra at cost of 1000, and her bath room cost $50,000 She had over 5000 plates, one set of which, made at Sevres, cost &, 300 dozen, One single diamond in her collection of jewels cost $4T000.
 These figures are staggering Moth ing in the most profigate epoch of Rome, nothing in Venice, in Paris or in London surpasses them. Not even the imagination of Dumas in depicting Monte Cristo," or of Gautier in de scribing one of Cleopatra's nights can outstrip the actual accomplishments of this New England school-mistress A swift and amazing evolution in this lav- ish spendthrift from Puritan ancestors, who forbid the wearing of gold brooches and considered cherry ribbon an abomination in the sight of the Lord. Where will this evolution end ?

THE EMPEROR AUGUSTUS.
Fred s. Ryman, in G0odall's Sun. l

1 Augustus was about the last run of shad in the Pagan emperorship of Rome, and he got in the greater part of his work before the second empire as l students of history might put it. The month of August was named for Angus 1 tus; so l infer that he made things pretty hot in Rome for offensive parti- zans ct al, or it may have been done as delicate compliment to his warm ma | ture.
 i 1t is related of Augustus that he found Rome brick and left it marble This re- minds me of man l heard about, who married woman for her money. and after he had squandered it all he was re- preaching her one day for her slovenlv style when she replied Why what have you got to say about it? When married you you hadn't rag to your back. Yes, and you see, I'm all rags now, replied the undisturbed philoso- 1 pher tell this story to show that his tory repeats itself
 Augustus seems to have been d great hand for poets He evidently never ed tied a newspaper. He had two poet laureates, or poets-laureate, if any one prefers that way of putting it, and they seem to have vied with each other in making Rome howl generally do not know that l need give their names, but ] will, lest l shall seem to slight my l duty. They were Virgil and Horace. Virgil did the heavy work and boomed agriculture while Horace, or Hod," as they called him, wrote the spring poetry and satires. If Augustus wanted any poetry put right up on short order, he called on Horace; but if he wanted something durable for the heeling of the nations, then Virgil got the job An emperor who could SO conciliate two rival poets, and keep them both busy deserves to be called great, even though he never fired gun. and so far as l know Augustus never fired one. It is said that Virgil never asked anything of Augustus that he was refused, and hence l infer that Augustus had an admirable temper or else Nirgirs needs were much more moderate than are those of the latter-day poets. Augustus died full of years, so l will leave him. but years are nice thing to get full on think, and have often thought that l could stand 1t to get full on them two or three times myself, without any special incon- venience. Augustus may have done many other things and he doubtless did; but if he were living lie might not care to have me raking up old family affairs and campaign lies, so will give him the same show that would ask if had been dead two or three thousand years. He seems to have gone around Rome about as it he were walking on eggs. Casar's sudden death by hcmor- rhage may have had an influence with him and persuaded him to keep quiet, and not get his blood stirred up, espe- cially with the point of stilctto or dag ger believe this is all that I can now notice in his life. He had a big funeral, and his death was a deep loss to the community at large

A Reporter With Nerve.
Troy Press.


 Each newspaper in New York, of course, had big force on the Grant fun eral We'll it took so many men that some of comparatively little experience had to be given pretty important as signments. Among these was young man on the Worh{ whc has been in the newspaper business about month all together He was told to go to the Fifth Avenue Hotel in the morning and never lose sight of the Grant family till night. Up he went bright and early and stayed till the procession was about to start Then he was in qulandarv He never could keep the Grants in sight if he went on foot through the multi tudc Besides it was about six miles to the park. A happy idea struck him. Along Twenty-third street was long row of carriages to be used by the Grants und prominent people who were stopping at the hotel So very quietly this young but cnterprising journalist threw away his cigar strengthened his hat and walked out. He stood mo- ment on the steps and then motioned to the driver of the best looking car riage. John drove up quickly and the reporter got in.
 What number are you?' he asked.
 The driver told him.
 Yes, yes, that's right. Now do you know where you come in?'
 The driver did not
 Well, you follow the Grant carriage, that stands by the door now
 The driver supposed it was all right naturally, and as soon aS the procession started he pulled in behind Colonel Fred, Mrs Sartoris and others. And that fellow rode in state and alone all the way to Riverside Park Talk about nervel
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the entcrprising character of their business men. it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock. Ark, should be the com mereial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better deserves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H. G. lIollenberg A business career of over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock during which these houses have virtually con trolled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competitors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best makes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods per taining to their line, and are prepared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered All goods handled by II. G. Hollenberg are comprised in a neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contemplating the purchase of a piano, or organ or musical merchandise of any description, should not fail to ob- tain llollenberg's prices before ordering elsewhere. Address. II.
