The Young Men of the south.

The idea prevails largely in current
literature that the young men of the new
south" are full of force and energy, eager to
quite prepared to wiring success from unwilling
fortune. The picture is not wholly ono of
fancy. There are such young men among us,
and they are illustrating what may be done
in the new order of things amid which they
are thrown. But they are not very numerous
are, in fact, painfully exceptional The
great bulk of our young men are of the oppo-
site type. They go about business, if they go
at it at all, in half hearted way, as if they
regarded failure as a foregone conclusion. A
great many do not engage in any steady voca-
ton, but accept any little job by which they
can earn few dollars.
Perhaps there never were so many men who
cannot be said to be pursuing any regular
calling. An ambition to get behind a counter,
or to secure a travelling agency for some busi-
ness house, is that which generally takes pos
session of the minds of our young men. There
is turning away from agriculture as if it
were not calling which promises to patience,
energy and industry the very best rewards
We must own it, that tho bold, ambitious
young man, who is willing to forego present
ease and display and who will not he content
with any cxpedient that may meet the present
emergency, is an exception among us. There
is as good chance to lay the foundations of a
fortune now as there ever was, if young men
will only exercise the proper industry and
economy Sunny South.

Some Startling Theories.

A local statistician, starting with the pre-
mise that, given n single pair of sparrows and
their own sweet will, at the end of the year
there would be six pairs of sparrows, the
parent birds dying at the end of each year;
insists that at the end of fifteen years there
would be :, s2I 100, ,907 ,456 pairs of sparrows
descended from the original pair. Without
examining the correctness of this figuring,
which may be right enough to its arith-
metic, any sparrow old enough to have a
family on his hands knows that it is mad
wrong in comparison with actual results.
There is to be taken into the account the raw
ages of other birds, of cats, of boys, of sports
men, of indigestion, of wars civil and for
eign, of foods and beating winds, and tho
awful visitations of cold. The sparrows null
tiply and replcnish the earth, it is true, but
it keeps them very busy. An arithmetician
who, beginning with Adam and Eve, and al
lowing two pairs to a family, should attempt
to find the population of the earth by a pro-
cess of arithmetical progression would have
the land and the sea piled mountain high
with the bones of past generations, and
enough live people on the earth to over-popu-
late all the rest of the planets. Statistics
without all the data to bring on right con-
clusions are very good for nothings-Phiia-

She Disappeared for Good.

At private parties in Paris little trick is
now very commonly performed which a con-
juror has lately brought into vogue A lady
in the company is requested to seat herself on
\ bamboo chair, when she is covered with a
large shawl, under which the general out
line of her figure is distinctly visible. The
performer then claps his hands thrice, lifts
up the shawl and the lady has disappeared
A few days Viscount T., who had learned
the trick, invited numerous company
to his house in order to experiment on his
wife Everything passed oil successfully.
The beautiful countess sat down on the chair;
she disappeared at the third clap. Cries of
@Bravo!" resounded through tho room, and
the noble host, after reveling awhile in the
general astonishment, said to his guests:
~Now, ladies and gentlemen, shall have the
honor to bring the vanished one back to the
company" He then retired into the next
apartment, but as he did not come back for
long time search was made and the poor Wis
count was found lying in his bedroom, in a
swoon. Her ladyship had disappeared-for
good and all In a letter which was found
she stated she could not live with him any
longer, and had taken that opportunity to
leave his house and return to her friends

Picturesque Scenes to BE Witnessed in
the Mexican City-Pretty Senoras.
A ride of 255 miles over . country possess
ing nothing Of special interest brings us to the
city of chihuahua. capital Of the state of the
same name, a city of II, 600 inhabitants. The
houses are mostly built of adobe, generally in
one story, and the long, straight streets,
fianked on either side by these low, whitish
colored houses, soon become monotonous to
the eye. The grand plaza, in the center of
which a handsome fountain is situated, is the
lounging place Of the citizens of all grades,
and their characteristic Incidence is strongly
impressed upon the stranger as he sees them
summing themselves by day and contemplate
ing or gossiping at night, with the ever pres
ent cigarette.
The crowds as they saunter about in their
native costumes present a scene pleasingly
picturesque, the sombrero, the serapc and the
reboso in varied colors rendering it pretty
sight. Here we see an aquadore with large
jug of water on his back, suspended by a
leather band about his forehead; in front of
him hangs his smaller jug, sustained by a
band passing around the back of his head
Again those of the wealthy class with their
elegantly silver trimmed sombreros, heavily
braided short jackets, tight fitting trousers,
studded down the sides with buttons of silver
Mingling with the crowd arc also the poorer
classes with their gaudy sefapes loosely
thrown their shoulders, and wearing
huaraches 1eather sandals, fastened with
straps over the instep and across the bali of
the foot, a close inspection often revealing
the fact that the blanket is the sole covering
T. the upper part of the body.
The pretty sonora, poorly clad, without
even a sandal, is lounging at the fountain,
her shabbiness concealed by the usual black
shawl gracefully thrown over her head and
shoulders, extending well down the body,
showing bronzed feet and ankles, well mod
eled and graceful, though neither small nor
soft in appearance; the ever feminine charac-
teristic is not wanting even here, for, con-
scious of her beauty, she lifts her water jug
from her shoulder, and resting it on the edge
of the fountain, glances about with her bril-
liant black eyes; her soft olive complexion,
beautifully chiseled features and regular
white teeth render her a fascinating picture.

Beccher and His Money.

Beecher hates all monetary details. He
always gives his regular salary-S20, ,OOO-to
his wife, who disposes of it as she chooses, en-
Hrely Independent of him. What he earns
outside by lecturing, writing, etc.-varying
annually from Sl5, 600 to $4,000 more-is
for his own use, and he uses it freely in any
and every way except for the liquidation of
debts. Surprise has often been expressed as
to what the popular preacher does with his
large income. This information may aid in a
measure to answer the question. He is an
odd creature, as men of genius frequently are,
with exalted virtues and grave defects, whom
very few understand, and who certainly does
not understand himself. Like other popular
idols, he has been painted with the hues of
imaSinations until his real nature has ceased
to be visible Some of his best qualities are
probably those of which the orthodox class
would be the least tolerant Above every
thing, he is human-human to the core-and
not AKIN to saintship is his antipodes, which
he Is ready to avow. His most valiant men,
tai attribute is his oratory, which, though ac-
ciGentally turned in the direction of the pull
pit, has not been by any means confined
thereto As preacher, taking him on the
whole, l doubt if this age has produced his
equal -"PesSimo" in Chicago Times,

Lionizing Mrs. j. Il. Potter.

Not even the pretty Miss Chamberlain, of
Cleveland, has received the distinguished
social attention in England that Eas been be-
slowed upon Mrs. James Brown Potter and
her visit here this summer will make her as
famous abroad as she is in her own city and
country. She was ushered into the circle of
the Prince and Princess of Wales Immediately
on her arrival and at once became favorite,
not only because of her beauty and brilliant
conversational powers, but because Of her ac-
complishments as an elocutionist and amateur
actress One of the first invitations extended
to her on her arrival with Mrs. Mackay at
Cowes, two weeks ago, was one to dine with
the Prince and Princess of Wales on their
yacht, the Osborne, and from that time to the
present she has had one continued succession
of royal attentions. She and her husband
and Mrs. Mackay were put down for all the
Royal Yacht club privileges.
The Prince of Wales is particularly fond
of recitations and has taken a special fancy
to Mrs. Potter on that account. Not long
ago Mrs Potter was asked to join the Prince
and Princess of Wales, Princess Louise of
Lorne, and others, in a visit to the ex-Em-
press Eugenie, and while there recited 'Ken-
tucky Belle" Eugene was overcome that
she wept and kept Mrs. Potter reciting for
over an hour, telling her that it was the first
real pleasure she had enjoyed since the death
of her SON The result of all this is that Mrs
Potter is now put down for everything and
asked to so everywhere. At her special re
quest the Prince of Wales goes in a few days
