The President IS accommodating FAT so
rapidly that he is afraid apparently that
people Will stare at him because be is so
remarkably fat rather than because he is
President. 1t is said that he has been in
creasing in size steadily ever since he has
been in Washington. He thought that
he would get rid Of some OF his SD
perfuous fat by taking violent exercise
in the Adirondacks last summer. Heidi
not get rid of any, but he EeDt himself
from growing any fatter. AS soon as he
got back to Washington, however, the fat
began to accumulate again.
1t is stated that he has determined to
try the massage treatment, and that he
will begin it in day or two. A Swedish
professor of that kind of treatment has
taken a contract to reduce the Presidents
waist several inches in a very few weeks.
He expects that the President, however,
will render him every possible assistance
by exercising a number of hours each
day, and by being careful not to eat such
things as tend to produce fat.
This same professor, it is alleged, cured
the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Whitney,
Of very bad hurt, and he has also done
the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Man
ming, great deal of good. In tact, it be-
gins to look as if he would become the
doctor OF the administration. If he cures
the President OF his fat he may be called
upon to cure Mr.. Villas of the idea that be
is the busiest man in the country and
the brains of the administration and
Democratic party. He NAV also be call
ed in to see what can be done towards
helping Mr.. Endicot TO get rid of his no.
tions of exclusiveness.
The massage treatment may knock off
some of the Presidential tat, but won't the
fat come back when the treatment is sus-
pended? The President would doubtless
hesitate to begin it fine thought he would
have to be thumped. slapped and pounded
the balance Of his life to keep from get
ting too big for his clothes.

The rising generation of colored people
seem TO De getting its share of the bene-
fits of such educational systems as exist
rapidly learning to read and write and
cipher, and it is plain that they are max
ing good deal of progress In intellectual
development.
There is danger that very many of these
people will fail to realize the full benefits
of the advantages they are enjoying. 1t
is apparent that many of them are al
ready being led to take false views or the
responsibilities and duties of lite, and
that they will be very apt to make
mistakes for which they will have
to suffer sooner or later. 1t
seems that too many of these
people aspire to be preachers and teachers
and politicians, and that very few are
disposed to qualify themselves for the use
full but humble spheres of life in which
they live, and in which large majority
of them must of necessity remain.
1t is true that the manual and practical
training of negro children has been al
most entirely neglected since the war.
AS a consequence bklllcu COlOTSu ldDOTeTS
and trained servants are disappearing.
Where one oolored youth can succeed as
preacher, teacher or politician,
thousand can elevate them
selves and become comparatively
independent as skilled and reliable labor
ers, cooks, house servants, etc. The
young colored people need manual as
well as mental training, and their moral
development especially should be looked
after, for, after all, it is moral character
that more than anything else elevates a
ace or people in the scale of civilization
and influence.
1t is unfortunately true that the col
ored people are not making as rapid ad-
Vances morally as they are intellectually.
There ls, with many of them, little regard
for punctuality and responsibility, and
there exists also general incompetency
even in the simplest pursuits. Intell-
gent and influential colored men, who
have the permanent good and true inter-
ests of their race at heart, ought to APP
preciate the facts herein set forth, and do
all in their power to bring about more
hopeful conditions.

Boston Manners,

From the Boston Record.
Two visitors ono morning were doing the
Public Garden. They had paused before the
statue near the Commonwealth avenue en-
trance, and, failing TO recognize its bronzed
features, they resolved to question the fret
passer by. This proved to be dignified old
gentleman with God-rimmed spectacles.

you tell me whose statue that is?p The old
gentleman only gave them cold stare in re
ply, and marched on. The next passer-by, "A
stylishly dressed young lady, was appealed to
with like result.
polite people, these Bostonians." said
number two.
Then very dudy young man with an UNI
bella passed through the gateway, and to
him the question was put, the only response
vauchsafed being a slight elevation OF the
nose skyward, and vigorous use OF the UNI
brella to quicken his footsteps. II was strange
treatment. to say the least, but finally. as a
laborer appeared upon the scene, with q kit
OF tools slung over his shoulder, they resolved
to make lust one more effort

The Atlanta papers state that the trains
! arriving In that city are now met by
great many more people than before pro-
| hibition went into effect. The ajOrity
! of these people are more Interested in
seeing the express messenger than in wit
Messing the arrival OF the train or seeing
who the passengers are. To them the eX-
press messenger has suddenly become
man OF considerable Importance, because
he is the custodian OF a great many jugs
which are dlled with various kinds of
palatable and intoxicating fluids.
If the Atlanta papers do not publish
exaggerated statements the Atlanta jug
trade has assumed remarkable propor-
tions, and the work of the express mes
sengers has been greatly increased on
acc unit of it. All the towns surrounding
Atlanta, where whisky can be obtained,
are drawn upon to meet the demand of the
thirsty Atlantians. IL is even said that
some OF those who were prominent in
favor OF prohibition are to be seen at the
depot looking anxiously for the coming of
the jug trains.
Some of the anti-Prohibitionists are no
slow to point to this spectacle and say
that they predicted that It whisky were
shut out of Atlanta the whisky drinkers
would send to other places for it, and
they continue to argue that it would be
much better to keep the money spent
for whisky in circulation at home than to
permit it to 60 towards building up other
places.
The anti-Prohibitionists will not admit
that any good can possibly come from
prohibition. and they will talk against it
as long as they can get anybody to listen
to them. Tney ought tobe convinced by
this time, however, that Atlanta is fixed
for prohibition for two years at least, and
that there is strong probability that at
the end of that time the town will be more
strongly against whisky than it is now.
1t is fact worth noticing in this connec-
ton that all the counties OF the State
which have given prohibition fair trial
couldn't be induced to abolish it. They
are more prosperous than they ever were
before, and the people are happier and
far more contented. Why shouldn't the
same condition of affairs exist in Atlanta?
The Jug train business is nothing new,
All the prohibition counties have been
more or less familiar with it. 1t will
gradually decrease until it will hardly at
tract attention. The whisky drinkers
can't stop drinking all at once, but they
Will gradually reform. The trouble and
expense required to get the whisky Will
induce the most of them to conclude that
they are better of without whisky than
with it.
IL there are any anJi-ProhibItionists in
Atlanta who firmly believe that whisky
is necessary to the prosperity of the place
let them join with the Prohibitionlsts in
giving prohibition fair trial. Al the
end of two years if they are not convinced
they were mistaken they will have good
grounds for urging that prohibition be
abandoned. By talking against it now,
when talking can effect nothing, they will
keep up an agitation that can only result
in harm to the city.

From the Boston Courier.
How charming was her presence with us here.
How kind she was in all her words and
ways.
Here life was like the purest atmosphere
OF radiant ewes and tranquil, cloudless days.
And all things lovely were beloved of her,
The fair. glad world of flowers, and field
and tree:
I've seen her gaze, like some rapt worshiper.
Upon the mOonlit sky or sunset sea.
There by the sea! Twas there she dwelt
With kindred hearts, with music. mirth,
and books.
Her brow had never space for frowns. Her
Was beautiful with ''sunshlne of sweet
looks"
And she is gone not ever any more
May mortals know her bright companion
ship:
Nor earthly mourning shall again restore
Light TO her eye or language TO her lip.
Ay. she is gone! The evening light shall shine.
The waves repeat their murmurs on the
shore,
But she who watched the summer days de-
cline
With us may never look or listen more.
Dear Alice! though beyond or sun or star
Thy ever genial spirit may have flown,
1t cannot be that thou art gone so far
Thou shalt not yet be loved and love thine

Government Control of Railroads.

Government Control of Railroads.
There is a growing sentiment among
workingmen, particularly those who en-
terrain socialistic notions, in favor of the
governments owning ana controlling all
the railroad and telegraph lines of the
country. They seem to have a very crude
idea of the value and magnitude of the
railroad and telegraph lines. They talk
about the governments controlling them
as If they amounted to little more than
one-hOrse farm.
AS matter of fact, there are in this
country $4,000 miles Of railroad, which.
together with all the rolling stock, ma
chine shops, depots, etc, could be OBJ
tanned tor about $1,000, 600, 900. The gross
earnings are about 5000, 200, 900 annually,
and the net earnings about $500, 100000.
If the government should purchase the
railroads and all their appurtenances il
would have to pay for them a sum tn 1t
would be equal to two and a half times
the war debt at its period of greatest in
flation. II 1 per cent. bonds were issued
for the debt the interest annually would
nc $2S0, 0O1, 900. or nearly 81 xtimes the in.
terest paid now. The advocates of the
purchase Of the railroads claim, OF course.
that the government would run the rail-
roads so that iney would pay the interest
on the bonds, hut would it? The roads
now employ 100000 men at an annual ex.
peuse OF $500, 100000. Doubtless # the
roads passed into the contract o; the
government the eght-hour System would
be adopted. In that case 10000 men
more would b. required, and the pay of
the whole force would doubtless be in
creased to sucn an cNteuttDat it IS fair 10
assume that the $500, GOO IN wages
would he Increased TO 5000 ,0G0,0 900. The
management would be wastoluI aud ex-
trayagaat. DemaEogues and thieves
would get into places OF trust and respon-
sibiity, and the chances are that the
roads would not pay operating expenses
The people. therefore, would have TO be
taxed annually to meet the $3.50, 900, 900 OF
interest money.
Perhaps the advocates OF government
ownership OF railroads have never
given The question careful consideration,
and haven't the fainjest Idea Of the mag
nltude of the thing they propose.

The Unhappy Gar.

There is no longer any good reason for
doubling the truth of the story that the
Car, day or two ago, shot and killed a
favorite aide-de-camp. The aide-de-camp,
it seems, was buttoniug his coat as the
Gar unexpectedly approached him, and
the Czar-who is suspicious of every one
thought that the aide-de-camp was
hunting for a weapon with which to kill
him. Acting on the impulse of the mo-
ment he fired the fatal shot.
There is no doubt, Notwithstanding all
that is said to the contrary, that the
Cars life is far from happy one. He
is constantly haunted by the fear that he
will be poisoned or shot. He trusts no
one OF his officers fully, aud yet he is COM
PEELED to rely upon them for protection
against assassins who, he believes, are
seeking favorable opportunity to carry
out their purpose Of taking his life.
There IS another thing that is worrying
him at present. Itis the Bulgarian tangIe.
He is finding it much more troublesome
than he had any idea it would be when he
decreed that Prince Alexander should
give up the Bulgarian throne. Doubtless
Bulgarian affairs is largely due to the fire.
qucnt changes which the mind of the Car
undergoes. The thing he determines to
do TO-DAY be abandons tomorrow.
IL would not be at all surprising If the
whole Of Europe should become involved
in war before a settlement OF Bulgaria's
affairs is reached. England pretends that
she has no special interest in the Eastern
question at present, but every body knows
better than that. IL a war is begun Eng
land must take part in it or run the risk
OF seeing her great possessions in India
pass into the possession OF the MuscoYite.
1t Is rather remarkable that the Cars
fear of assassination should be permitted
to nave such an influence in the political
affairs OF europe, but it cannot be helped
The fact is recognized that his will is the
VIII OF Russia, and il is now regarded as
rather dangerous 10 undertake to thwart
the will OF Russia. The Gar, if he were
MT in constant fear OF an attack upon his
life, would be a very amiable gentleman.
