Relieving a Mothers anxiety.
From the Providence Journal.


There dwes, for instance in a semi-genteel
quarter, widow who is worth quarter of
million; and whose family consists of a pet
dog, herself aad small SON. the Importance of
the three counting in about this order in any
case the boy comes last About a month
ago the pet, who was at the seaShoro with his
Mistress was taken ill Mrs. Blank sent for
her physician, who was staying in Boston
through the summer, to come down to Mount
Desert to see the dog. He refused to leave his
human patients for a brute one, and so, al
come to Boston with the invalid, because, as
she explained to an acquaintance. she could
not run the risk of exposing Filomel to the
chance of being treated by doctor who did
not understand MS constitution"
Arrived In town the dog improved, but the
widows child. who had been brought along,
began to Sicken. The doctor ordered the boy
out of town, and as the widow was too anxious
about her spaniel to leave it, her son was con-
fided to the care of his nurse, who took him to
the seashore, at place not so far removed from
care. The child, neglected by the nurse, who
fell into violent filtration with the head waiter
of the hotel where they were staying. grew
worse. One afternoon the doctor took the train
down to see the child, and found the poor little
fellow ill in bed, and left wholly alone, while
the nurse was out walking with her friend, the
head waiter. The doctor, who is a man of some
determination, took the invalid in carriage
and drove across the country half dozen miles
gave the small sufferer When he returned to
town and told the mother of what he had done,
she said effusively:
''Oh, doctor, you have taken such a load from
my mind. Now | know George is safe and |
can give all my mind to poor Filomel."

Republican Differences.

A remarkable feature of the republican
campaign, and one that can hardly fail to
arrest the attention of voters, is the disa
greement Of the republican leaders with re-
spect to some of the most important issues
of the campaign. Soon after Mr. Blaine's
return from Europe he took occasion to de-
nounce the war that was being made on
trusts, and spoke of them as private affairs,
with which neither the President nor any
private citizen had any right to interfere.
Mr. Sherman, on the other hand, who is in
some respects greater man than Mr..
Blaine, has just introduced into congress a
bill, in which trusts are declared to be I'M
lawful, and all connection with them,
either as partners or agents, is made a mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine of not more
than $4,000, or imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for not more than five years, or
BOTH II trusts are unlawful, then the
President and every private citizen have a
great deal to do with them.
The republicans who met in convention
in Chicago and framed the national repub-
lican platform said that their party favored
taking the tax off whisky rather than to sur
ioHuei any pdrJ Oh Ine protective system.
The republican senator's have prepared
tariff reduction bill which they promise to
introduce into the Senate next week, in
which they, IN effect, say that they prefer
to surrender a part of the protective
system rather than take the tax
off whisky. The republican senators
make direct and clearly defined issue with
those who made the platform. There are
other important differences between the
republican leaders, but the above are sufi-
Gent to show the republican party has no
clearly defined policy upon some of the lead
ing questions before the country.
The republican voters, as the canvass pro-
crosses, will be apt to inquire whether their
party will follow Mr. Blaine or Mr.. Sher-
man on the question of trusts, and whether
the Chicago platform or the tariff bill of
the republican senators, contains the tariff
policy of their party. Would it not be
better for the republicans to make it clear
what their position upon important ques-
tions is before assaulting the position occu-
pied by the democrats

His Wish Was Gratifed.


There were lots of negroes on the boat as
passengers, and one afternoon as the boat left
Baton Rouge little crowd of us on the prone
made deck got to discussing the colored man.
The colonel, who was from Wisconsin, claimed
that the reason the white man did not get along
better with the negro was because he did not
study his physiognomy. You just set 'em all
down as lazy trtiing and dishonest" he said to
the major. who was from South Carolina, and
the good suffer with the bad" do you believe
there is such thing as an honest niger in
Louisiana - asked the major. "Of course |
do Gould you pick one out in that crowd
down there p Certainly could well, go
ahead for the cigars. Just pick your man.
hand him piece of money and tell him to walk
to the stern post and back and return it. " Say,
major, there's thirty negroes down there I'd
trust with my wallet" Very well. Well go
passed dozen before he came to a middle
aged man asleep on sack of cotton
seed meal. He studied the fellows face for
long minute and then shook hum awake
what s de row." demanded the negro. Il am
going to trust you, replied the colonel; II have
been looking you over, and know you to be an
honest man" Il ar dat" Here's $40 gold
piece. Take it to the stern of the boat, make
wish for one particular thing and bring il back. ."
The negro seized it and started off, and he had
no sooner reached the stern than we heard
great yelling up stairs followed by the bells to
stop the boat. We ran up, and there was the
colonel's honest negro between us and the shore,
striking out like whale, and his mouth out of
shape with the gold piece stuffed into it. While
we were still looking he reached the bank,
crawled upon tine levee. and then turned and
shouted: Il just dun wished was ashore, an
we're | am! Good by, white folks!" STILL"
said the major, as he turned to sit down, the
colonel might try a dozen more and find them
all honest" But the colonel went off to his
state room in q huff.

A Matter for Investigation.

The death of Prof. Proctor, who died
from yellow fever in New York, excites in
quiry as to where he contracted the disease.
AS far as known, he was not in the infected
district He left healthy part of Florida,
where he had been all summer, and reached
New York last Monday. The route by
which he Travelled is not known here, but 1t
is quite safe to say that he did not pass
through Jacksonville. Is it not probable
that he occupied an infected car or an in
fected berth on a sleeping car. The
railway and sleeping car Officials are sup
posed to exercise the greatest care in keep
ing their cars free from infections or CON
tagious disease, and, doubtless, they are
very careful; but is it certain that they do
all that is necessary to be done!
A great many refugees left Jacksonville
soon after the fever was declared to be
epidemic in that city. May not the infection
still remain in some of the cars in which
they travelled If not, where did Prof.
Proctor contract the diseased
1t is possible, though not probable, that
he may have been in parts OF Florida
where the fever is. There certainly should
be a thorough investigation of his case. in
order that it may be determined. if possible
how he contracted the fever. His death is
a warning to all local quarantine officials
that they cannot be too diligent in dis
charging their duties, becau it seems to
show that the infection is easily carried,
and that one or two refugees may start an
epidemic if they happen to get into place
that is favorable for one.

The Price Was Too Low.
From the WASHINGTON Post.


A number of members of the House of Re pre-.
sentatiyes have stolen away at various times,
and for short periods, from their congressional
duties. Most Of them have enjoyed themselves,
Missouri, Lind of Minnesota, and Sawyer Of
New York. They invaded the state of Mary
land and studied the unsophisticated natives
until they got tired The last place at which
they made any stay was Leonardtown. From
there they intended coming TO the capital by
boat, but that semi-occasional craft
having departed. they were compelled
to travel by rail- The train was started
with a pinch-bar and proceeded at a very de-
liberate gait. Occasionally the conductor would
get off aud gather few peaches with which he
would treat the passengers. After the train
had been crawling along for an hour, and had
covered at least six miles, the conductor col
lected the fares, which for the congressional
crowd, amounted TO so cents each. WheH he
reached Col Wade that genial ''bald-knobber'
remarked, in his innocent way: DO you charge
preachers the full ia 70 on this roadT'
mo. sir" was the conductors reply. 1--WE
only charge them half rates. Are you a
preachery" he added, looking squarely at the
colonel's Methodistic countenance.
mo- am not" said the Missourian, 'but
that gentleman is' pointing to Judge Sawyer,
who sat couple of seats in front Of HIM.
The conductor at once returned to the judge,
and, after a searching glance at the sun-kissed
countenance OF the New York statesman,
proffered him 10 cents with the remark: I'VE
only collect half fares from preachers"
who in the blank said was preacher?"
asked the judge with considerable show of
anger.
The conductor threw his thumb back over his
shoulder in the direction of Col. Wade, and
looked as though he had thought all the time
that the colonel was garbling the facts in the
case.
In the meantime the three Dimes the nickel
and five pennies reposed calmly in the judges
fat palm. He regarded them in silence for
moment, and then handed them back to the
Official saying: II am good deal of a liar,
but will not lie for 40 cents.
Then he relapsed into absolute silence, and
would not look at Col. Wade until Washington
was reached
