Characteristics of the Long Island
Earmer.

All things else may wax and wane,
but not the Long Island farmer As
lived his forefathers, so lives he. He is
unchanged and Interchangeable "A
phlegmatic, conservative old SOUL" says
the student of human nature; 1.-The
tightest man on the face of the earth, ,"
eXclaims the land speculator; "a quaint,
charming people, living after the customs
of their forefathers," gushes the sum
mer visitor. This latter is true
A sharper contrast is nowhere else
afforded between the past and present
than on Long Island, the favorite water
ing place of the United States, and at the
same time the home and ancient herit-
age of the Long Island farmer. New
GorSers are fast getting possession Of
the island, and in proportion are trans
forming it; but adjoining their grounds
and villas stands the old farm house,
with its weather-beaten, shingled sides;
its double doors and wooden shutters,
which are as securely closed at night as
in the days when the Indians lurked
around. The Old farmer may count his
money by thousands, but he clings to the
primitive ways OF his ancestors The old
fashioned "hit and miss" carpets, with
the breadths overlapping each other, the
mahogany chest of drawers, the high
post bedstead and the ancient timepiece
still grace the rooms. Every Saturday
the brisk housewife scrubs and sands the
floor and paints the bricks before the fire
place. The unchanged customs in the
farming settlements are marvel to
visitors A lady GO years old was heard
frequently eXclaiming: why, that is
just the way my mother did itr' The
progress of the Nineteenth century is no
where visible.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

The German nature is slower and heav-

would be az the difference between the

other makes the blood course through
your veins faster than before. When ii

latter. II a German has got a chord to

Editors of London newspapers are un-
necessarily alarmed at the dimensions of
the support of Henry George in New York
City. The masses of those who voted for
him did not vote for his theories but for the
man. Their purpose was not TO rob men of
their lswfully-earned property and divide it
among those who have none, but TO make
an effort 10 subserve the interests OF labor
by oyerthrowing the greatest obstacle and
foe TO these intereSts-gang and boss rule
in New York. There is no country in the
world where the rights OF property are
more secure than in the United States. So
safe is property that the talk of theorists
about division or robbery is laughed at as of
no force whatever and the spOuters are de-
rided as harmless lunatics. In America,
let il be understood in London, the great
mass of citizens have more or less property
of their own. that they have earned by hard
work and saved by economy, and the theo-
rist who would attempt TO enforce his no
tons in the direction of plundering these
honest and worthy toilers, or of unlawfully
and wrongly touching anybOdy's rights or
property. would be brought up promptly
