MINOR MATTERS.

The Capital Thr0nged with Visitors, Chiefly
Pleasure-Seekers.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 27-Washington has had
the biggest jam of people during the past week
of any time during the session. Hotels have
been flooded with visitors. and the little steamer
Mary Washington has been doing q thriving
business in her daily trips to Mount Vernon, not
outstanding the cutting. cool air on the river.
There has been less business done In the depart
ments during this winter by the people through
out the country than for many years past Very
few of the men who have como here during the
winter have been brought by business During
previous winters there has been q large amount
of work done In the departments by lawyers and
business men in person. The absence of any
thing OF this kind is explained by department
men, who say that the tariff laws enacted few
years ago are in good working order, and there
is no agitation about internal revenue and other
affairs, usually bringing to Washington business
men and attorneys. For this reason, or some
other reason, the dep srtments have been like
great industrial establishments, with placards
announcing mo admission and very few Wis
itors or strangers have been seen inside Of them.
Apparently, every one comes here now to see the
city and to hear the talk in Congress.

+. ID. Worcester, the secretary of the
New York Central, said: Il have been
asked several times ms TO the probable
noun OF Mr.. Vanderbilt's fortune, but
for many reasons l feel disinclined to
commit myself on this subject. For the
past two or three years | have had but
little TO do with his affairs. You will
have noticed, perhaps, that his real es-
tate was n drop in the sea Of his great
wealth This was with him a matter OF
principle.
"The commodore used TO say that all
the real estate n nan ought TO own was
the house he lived in. In this opinion the
son practically concurred, ahd owned no
more than he could help. There was a
world OF shrewd common sense in the
old mans remark. for actual money Is
the greatest power a man can own.
Money can always be had for money,
even in the tightest times; IL is merely a
question Of how much one Is willing to
pay."--Gath's' Letter.

Feeling and Sense of Lower Animals.

"The lower animals, like man" says
Mr.. Darwin, "manifestly feel pleasure
and pain, happiness and misery. Happi-
ness is never better exhibited than by
young animals, such as puppies, kittens,
lambs, etc, when playing together like
our own children" He describes them
as subject to terror and suspicion, to
courage and timidity, to anger and love,
to jealousy and shame, etc.
He might add much more in his pre-
misses. Thus he might consider hat all
affections, emotions, all perceptions, en-
ergies and activity, which by any possi-
bility matter can be raised to in this uni
verse, all this should by every right be
attributed to animate organic matter; for
animation is strictly the highest actua-
ton Of matter; and this is the grade Of
the animal, brute creation. Hence ami
mails see, hear, touch, taste, smell with
their exterior senses, by which their or
ganism leads the "life of relation with
the outer world. Thus the beast in
stinctively seeks things useful and
flies from things hurtful. The ~inexperi-
enced lamb run away from a hurtful
wolf. and the bird gathers straw as use
full for building its nest-Detroit Free

THE SIGMA OF DANGER.

Has any one signalled the express"
gasped brave Engineer Phillips in the
first breath he took after gaining con-
sciousness, when he lay crushed aud
wounded at Pelhamville, the other day,
surrounded by the wreck of his train.
You who are alive and iull Of health
and strength, do you ever think Of turning
aside from your selfish wants to ask
those about you, Has any one signalled
the express?" When you smilingly ask
the widow Vol to take a drink. knowing
full well that her husband long since has
filed a drunksrd' grave, do you, as did
that bruised but brave engineer, give one
thought to the train that is laundering
along, seemingly secure, but near w~reckage?
When you, fair lady, with your airs and
graces, your jewels and laces, show the
girl dependent, who labors beneath your
roof, the paths of vanity and acquisition,
but not the ways Of honor and virtue; do
you ever think of the coming train bear
ing many men and women aud little
children, that is crashing along the iron
railroad of life, waiting, alas perhaps in
vain, for the red signal of danger that
your fair hands are too useless to hoist2
Dazed with pain. sorely wounded, that
brave man Phillips forgot his own ills to
try and save the lives of those who follow
him on the road. Men and women who
tread on soft carpets and sleep secure
from any harm, think Of this mans act,
and use the strong hands God has
given you to wave the flag to
him who comes behind. 1t may
not save him, but it will warn, and at
least show him that someone remembers
and is caring for his lot. Wave the flag;
Il may not mean excelsior but it will
say take care
There ara no hands too small. none too
weak, to wave the signal of danger. Along
the iron track Of life, which is often COW
cred over with the frozen SHOWS ofwinter,
aud near which also in pleasant summer
weather beautiful field flowers blow and
bloom, many trains come along. Some
glide peacefully through the clear and sun
light day and safely reach their goal.
Some shrek madly through a dark and
tempestous night and are tossed and bat
tered by storm and wind. You who dwell
in safety, sheltered and secure, neal the
road in which 80 many must travel, won't
you raise your eyes from your pleasant
surroundings and signal the express
that is in sore need? Signal the danger,
and men viii rise and call you blessed.
Signal the express, because it is right,
and whatsoever thy hand dndeth to do.
do il with thy might"

Wilmington IN. @ STAR
There is one thing in which the north
ern people are not hidebound or selfish.
They will read southern books, buy and
praise them. 1t is perhaps not too
much to say that southern writers of
genius are more accurately and more
highly appreciated in the educated
north, and, more particularly, in its
cultured circles, than they are in the
south. This is so with every poet and
novelist that the south has produced,
unless we are to make an exception in
Poe. Owing to the very caustic way
in which he went for northern and.
particularly, New England writers, and
especially Longfellow, Poe has not been
as popular as he would have been in re-
fined and scholarly northern circles.
After Europe began to give Poe great
prominence, and French and English
critics wrote of him as the greatest
American poet, the south began TO speak
more confidently of his merits.
Probably Uncle Remus" has really
more thorough appreciation in the north
than in the south. We have no doubt
Of it. Mr.. Craddock Miss Murfree)
finds her surest way to fame and money
through northern channels. We sus-
pect that Sidney Lanier has ten real adj
mirers in the north to one in the south,
and Paul H. Hayne has possibly more
readers of his volume of poems in New
England than in any five southern
states. We suppose that Christian
Reid and John Eaton Cooke and others
are much more indebted to the north
than to North Carolina, the native state
of the one, and TO Virginia, the native
state of the other.
We do not stop to consider why it is
that the south fails to appreciate its
best writer's. The fact remains that the
criticisms in the leading southern papers
are much less cordial, and, in the main.
much less acute and just, than the crit
icisms in northern papers and period
Gals OF the best class, even when south
ern authors are under consideration.
Sidney Lanier was a man of genuine
genius. He reflected credit upon our
country. His poems and prose writings
are warmly eulogized in the cultured
centers in the north. Able men, think
ers and scholars are his heartiest adj
mirers.

agriculture, has just returned from Sioux
Falls where he had been in attendance
upon a meeting of the executive com.
mlttee OF the board. Besides much

arranged the various departments and
prepared q premium list. In many OF
the classes the premiums were increased
from twenty TO thirty per cent. over
these OF last ear. in tine speed class
the increase is forty per cent. greater
than last year. For live stock, farm
and dairy products, grains and manu-
factured articles liberal premiums are
named, and in the fruit, floral and
culinary departments are offered
some valuable premlums; in fact in all
departments the premiums are quite as
liberal as those offered in eastern states
for like exhibits. Aside from o change
whereby there will be but one Judge to
each class, and a few minor changes, the
rules OF last year will govern the coming

that in every department there will be o
marked increase in the number of ex-
hiblts and much more competition than
