GOOD TIMES SOUTH.

A Section Where Capital and Labor Seem
to Be at Peace.
1t is gratifying to observe that there
is one section of the country in which
industrial growth does not seem to be
~paralyzed by strikes, lock-outs and
other forms of war between the capital
hat gives employment to labor and
the labor that should be glad to be en-
ployed at remunerative wages by cap
ital. For some reason the South has
been fortunately free from these ruin
Gus disputes between labor and capital
and the result is that the industrial
growth of the South is phenomenal.
The first three months in the year
1886 show that the new manufacturing
and mining enterprises in the South,
together with some important extern
| sions of old concerns. will employ cap
ital to the amount of thirty-siX and a
half millions of dollars. This capital
has been drawn largely from the North
and East and from Europe. although
Southern capitalists have invested very
literally. The new growth is not con-
fined to a few industries, but extends
| over almost the entire range of human
industry, from iron furnaces and cot
ton mills to fruit canneries and ica fac
tories. The list is largely made up OF
small factories and workshops, in each
of which a small capital and a few
workmen are employed, although there
are a few large concerns, one of which
invests two millions in new iron and
steel furnaces.
In only two of the fourteen States in
which portions of this thirty-six millions
of new capital is being invested have
there been any serious troubles of late.
They are Texas and Maryland, and il
is worth noting that in Maryland the
amount of new capital invested is more
thar a million dollars less than during
the same time last year, although the
aggregate capital invested in the whole
fourteen is nearly double what it was
in the first three months of 1885. The
South is to be congratulated on thi:
wonderful showing and it is ardently tt
be hoped that the evident prosperity O.
that section may not tur out to be
spasmodlc boom, but a steady and con
tinuous growth Times.

IhE oIHER SIDE.

An Answer to 1.-THE GIRLS That Are
Wanted"
Tell us not of rood girls that are wanted;
Good men are much more in demand;
A good wife may be had for the seeking
By every good man in the land.
Although home girls always are wanted,
There are many good girls who want homes.
There would be more bright, happy firesides
We're there not so many coxcombs.
II men were more fond of their hearthstones,
Their Ives would be frcer from STAIN,
Ii young wives were less often left lonely,
There would be less sorrow and pain.
The men who arc wanted are wise men,
Who can their tempers controls;
Who will bear their shares of life's burdens,
Not make their wives carry the whole.
Yes, sensible men are wanted;
Although girls follow fashions moods, &
The s%illiest, shallowest women
Can never equal the dudes.
Not tops are wanted, but heroes;
The heroes of every day,
Who have hearts and brains, and are ready
To do what comes in their way;
Who are willing to work and be saving,
And do not expect that their wives
Will scrimp while they spend their substance
In leading riotous lives,
Among girls who are clever and brilliant,
Gould men only understand,
there are loving and true-hearted women
Enough to meet any demand.

CONKLING.

ures.
The threat of some of the Senators to
investigate newspaper men and their
methods of obtaining the secrets of ex-
ecutive sessions revive many stories in
regard to former attempts at this
thing, and one especially is interesting,
as it relates to Mr.. Conkling and
marks the starting point of the cool
ness between himself and the press
here. A Senator who vas in a talka-
tive mood gave me an interesting &C
count of the proceedings IN the Senate
at the time-1874. The Senate had
just completed their work on the
Washington treaty and the great points
of settlement between Great Britain
and this country had been decided, but
were not ready for publication. The
day after the session several papers
published the entire proceedings of the
executive session. An investigation
followed and two correspondents were
arrested and locked up in the capital
because they would not testify. Dur
ing one of the sessions Roscoe Conk-
ling drew up some resolutions
in regard to the investigation
and Senator Carpenter, of Wis
consin, offered them. Next day
they were published. Conkling was
in a towering rage, and took occasion
to get up in the Senate and deny hav-
ing written the resolutions. The SEN
ate galleries and floor were crowded.
The whole thing worked like a play.
Mr.. Conkling was most dramatic, as
well as emphatic, in his denial of III
thorship of the resolutions, and de-
clared that the papers tried to place
him in a wrong light. Having had his
say, MI. Conkling walked into the
cloak-room. He had hardly gone
therein before Senator Henry Wilson,
afterward Vice-President, entered the
chamber by the main door. He
walked to his seat, and, before he had
time to find out what was going on, he
arose and addressed the chair in refer.
ence to these resolutions, drawn by
the Senator from New York (Mr.
Conkling) and offered by the Senator
from Wisconsin (Mr. Carpenter) in
the last executive session. He got nc
further, for some one o IN a hurry
and choked tie Senator off by saying
he was giving away executive secrets.
The galleries looked aghast. Mr..
Conkling came from the cloak-room
looking like a sheet, so white and pale
He was caught. The press gallery
fairly shook with suppressed laughter
at his discontinue. He made an eX'
PLANTATION, but it was a lame one. This
killed the investigation. The mer
were discharged, and Conkling los
ground with the press for the side he
took against them that he has never
regained-at least in Washington

No Balm for EIis Soreness In Washington
and Nothing But Gall for His Bitter
ness in Vermont.
What has become of that noble
phalanx of Republican Senators who
met in solemn conclave and bound
themselves by the most earnest assev-
erations to follow the mandates of the
-sexagenarian Green Mountain boy,
never, never to confirm the successor
of any poor, prosecuted Republican
turned out in the cold by the unfeeling
Democratic PRESIDENT Where is that
wonderful Senatorial U~ehmgericht, be-
fore whom the unconfirmed oficehold-
ers were to tremble, and the Admins
tration to shake in its collective and
individual bootsP All gone away, as
Hans Breitman would say, in the eUig-
keit. When the doors of the SEN
ate were locked and Mr.. Edmunds
called upon every Republican to
do his duty, and sit down on a
South Carolina internal revenue col
~lector, not less than two-thirds of his
| forces not only vent over to the enemy,
but intimated in effect that his judg-
ment was as unreliable as the walls of
some of the Rutland marble quarries.
Other instances of mutiny against the
| self-constituted leader from Vermont
have been recorded in the secret ses-
slous, and that too confident objector
finds all his painfully constructed plans
of obstruction go the way of his King
Charles speech and end in derision and
inextinguishable laughter. Even the
congenial companionship of that I'M
seemly talker, ingalls,, fails to relieve
poor Mr.. Edmunds from a crushing
sense of loneliness.
The visions of a boom increasing in
dimensions by the unquestioning acqui-
escence in his leadership in the Senate
until il should attain it's full growth, in
1888, are fast fading away. The Sem
ators kicked in their traces, not once,
but several times, and the fragments of
the boom are now strewn v the floor
of the Senate. And, worse than all, in
another year Mr.. Edmunds will have
to cast his eyes Vermontward to ascer-
tain whether he is wanted for another
term. He knows that a powerful OPP
position is building up in the Green
Mountain State against him, and that
his hopes of overcoming it lie in show
ing his power in the United States Sen
ate. Thus far he has only proved his
weakness. His pettish, childish con-
duct has done much towards obliterat-
ing the good opinion of him held by
his brother Republicans, and he now
sadly exclaims: ..My high-blown pride
at length broke under me-" Poor Ed.
munds! He never got over the shock
of that terrible message which was SEN
from the White House. He vcntured
beyond his depth, .like little wantor
boys that swim on bladders." There
is no balm for him in Washington, anG
nothing but gall in Vermont--Alban,

Catching" is a new term for that
very species of street-begging which is
being carried on extensively on our
streets at this time. Hardly any one
who has occasion to be IN the large
thoroughfares of the city after six
o'clock in the evening escapes the vigi-
liant eye of the catcher" The term
arises perhaps from the fact that this
species of begging is outlawed, as it is
made a business of, and the person who
contributes his mite to these people
would be surprised and hurt if he re-
ally knew that his charitable intentions
are entirely misplaced, and that the
mendicants spent the nickels and dimes
in some convenient saloon for beer or
drinks of some other kind. These

THE KITCHEN.
Precautions Which Should Be Taken by
Every Careful Housekeeper.

Precautions Which Should Be Taken by
Every Careful Housekeeper.
Much of the family depends upon the
care of the kitchen and working depart
ment of the house. If your sink-pipes
run into closed unventilated drains or
cesspools, you are sure to get the pois-
onous air back again into the house,
unless your pipes are we'll trapped.
Usually in the cities. where the water
all runs off into the street sewers and is
carried off to some distant point, this
trapping Of refuse pipes is part of the
plumbing arrangement, but it should be
occasionally examined to see that it in
all right, and that the kitchen sink-pipe
is not a SQUIRE of malarial disease. In
the country there is usually greater
neg ect, because people have grown SO
into the habit of believing that the
country must of necessity be healthy,
that people are likely to grow careless,
or rather they are little likely to give
special heed to sanitary matters, think
ing that it is only in the city where these
need attention. But carelessness grown
of such assurance usually meets its re-
ward. 1t is better to have the kitchen
pipe run into the drain, from which the
water can be dipped Or pumped daily,
or else, if there is natural drainage,
have it run so as to water the surface
of the land about the outlet, not stand
ing, but arranged so as to run off.
Washing water should not be turned
down the sink, but should be saved to
be put on the garden or lawn, as it acts
well as a fertilizer, and is productive of
| good, whereas if it is added to the ac-
emulation of water in a drain, it may
be equally productive of evil. At least
once a week a solution of copperas in
hot water should be poured through the
! pipes to cleanse and purify them, and it
is well also to occasionally put chloride
of lime through in the interval, espe-
cially in hot weather: both the copperas
and lime will dissolve the lining of
grease which every pipe will get through
which the dish-water is poured.-Mit-
eOduEee Sentinel.

The most remarkable wedding

Indiana. A.young Colorado cattle man
named w. d. Knox, visiting in Jeffer-

the hackman to drive him where he
could see a pretty girl. The hackman
started up town and met Lizzie Miller.

her to Knox, who was greatly pleased
with her good looks, and invited her
into the carriage. A license was OBJ
tanned and the wedding solemnized.
Knox pulled out an immense roll OF

A Naval Hint.

A meeting of the Institution of Naval
Architects was recently held in Lon
don. 1t was attended by many of the
leading navy constructors of Great
Britain. One of the most important
subjects discussed was the speed of
war vessels. Admiral Sir Ashley
Cooper Key said that during the last
six years it had been the purpose of the
British naval authorities to make their
ironclads faster by one knot an hour
than like vessels of any other nation;
and the weight of opinion was against
making any sacrifice in speed for the
sake of other qualities.
This fact is well worthy of attention
on the part of those charged with the
duty of constructing a new navy for
the United States. A high rate OF
speed is insisted upon by the greatest
naval power in the world. Should we
not follow the example of England in
this respect? Instead of building slow
tubs, ought we not to have war vessels,
if their number be few, which can
overtake any other wal vessels afioat?
The possession by. Italy of a few
armored vessels which are faster than
any English iron-clads seems, really to
excite some disquietude in England,
will soon have similar ships of equal or
greater speed. If superiority in speed
is deemed so important in a great
navy, can it safely be disregarded in
building a small ona?-N. Y. SIN.
