PARALYZING AN EDITOR.

The New Orleans Evening States Of
the B, tells us that there is a newspaper
man in Cleveland. Ohio-an exuberant
young fellow-who believes himself to
be an eighty ton gun, but whose calibre
in reality is not much larger than that of
a toy pistol. Not long ago young lady
graduated at college in neighboring
town, and read an essay in which she
she took occasion to criticize the manner
in which the average male specimen is
wont to grumble about the domestic
qualifications Of the women Of the present
day, and she took mankind by the ear
and rubbed him with'a rough file. The
aspiring and youthful journalist saw an
opportunity to say what he firmly believed
would be something intensely humorous
and smart, and in a irolicsome style wa
gered a tirst.class summer hat that the
young lady could not bake a loaf Of
bread. A few days after his article ap>
peared the managing editor received
box by express containing several loaves
o'snice bread, and an affidavit from the
young lady properly attested by notary
that she had made and baked, together
with copy of the paper containing the
wager of the funny young man. The
managing editor showed him the bread
aud the affidavit, and the smile which con-
stsntly played over his careworn features
as he revamped old jokes quickly changed
into frightened stare, and iu great con.
fusion he explained that it was just
little joke. The managing editor, howev-
er, told the funny fellow that he had
foolishly committed the paper, and hav.
ing lost the wager would have to pay it
out of his own pocket, and he did. He
bought hat full of feathers that looked
as if it had been shaped with sledge>
hammer, and when the bill came in for
$40 the full amount ofhis weekly stipend.
he swooned, and the office boy had to
bathe his head for an hour with ice water
before he was fully restored. The bril-.
liant little joke which he dashed off in a
happy mood came back upon him and
paralyzed him ere the Joy caused by its
birth had faded from his heart. 1t dried
up the fountain Of his sparkling humor.
He is In debt to and has forfeited the es>
TEEN of his landady, and now he boards
at the cheese counter of a beer saloon,
and his column Of witty paragraphs is as
lonesome as country grave yard. The
dreadful truth that he is not near so smart
as he thought he was has dswned upon
him, and he is sad.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.


Northern Capital Seeking Investment
A special from Washington of the s
inst. to the New Orleans Daily States
says: The South seems to be attracting a
good deal of attention among the capital-
lists of New York and the East general y
just now. Within the past few days two
prominent citizens OF Alabama have been
in the city ca route home from New
York, where they arranged for several
millions Of capital to be put at once into
railroad enterprises in that State. Ore
of these enterprises is a road to give Bir,
mingham, the great iron manufacturing
city of that State, direct connection
with tho Gulf; the other. proposes to
build road from Mobile to Dauphin Is.
land, an island lying midway between
Mobile and New Orleans and some dis,
tance off the Cult shore. The plan is to
build a long trestle from the shore out to
the island. When the road arrives there
it will have, it is claimed, fine harbor
with thirty feet of water, Beside this
scheme for building the road out into the
Gulf, the company has plan for the
construction of a long line of railway from
this fine harbor northward through AL,
bams, Tennessee and Kentucky, to cons
meet with a line running to Chicago.
"The Gulfa Chicago Air Line r. r."
it is to be called, and there are indications
that the line is to be an important one in
connecting the lakes and the Gulf. These
are only sample cases. Large amounts
of money are going into the South to be
invested in manufacturing enterprises.
At Chatt lnooga and Birmingham there
are now being established some of the
most extensive iron works in the country.
Other railroad enterprises are being push
ed in different parts of the South, and
word comes that the immigration in that
direction of late, has been unprecedented.
A good many millions Of Northern capi-
talists are going into the South just now,
and that section may look for more
prosperous times and a greater expendi-
ture of money.

then won't pay his debts, and puts prop

The colored people Of this country have

SO destructive 20 3their best interests as

robbed them of their bodies, but whisky
destoys both soul and body, and casts
them into the horrible pit of degradation
and ruin. Few things could do more for
the elevation and happiness, or for the
welfare of the colored people, than the
banishment OF Intoxicating liquors from
the State of Mississippi. Whisky arms
