4'Dead and buriedl And to think / knew
nothing about It'll It's strange too, for 1
always read the death notices in the papers
before turn TO anything else. | anf afraid
my poor old eyes are falling"
This remark was overheard on a North
river ferry boat the other morning. It came
from an old lady who had just been informed
Of the death Of an acquaintance who had lived
for years within a stones throw Of the speak
er's house. The woman's lament would nave
passed unnoticed by a reporter who sat next
to her, had il not been for the reply made by
the young man TO whom the remark was
made.
II do. not think your eyes are to blame,
Mrs -, for on the advice OF the under
taker we refrained from publishing any no.
tice of grandma's death. There is a certain
class of schemers for money who have no
respect for affection, and il was to save our
selves from annoyance at their hands that
we kept the news of her death out OF public
printn
THAT was quite right Isn't It strange
what a number of poor relations do sprinp
up when a person dies and leaves a little
money!
Il did not mean anything like that. I
referred to a class Of constituencies solicitors
who as soon as they see a death announced,
call upon the family and try TO arrange for
some commission OF trade in connection
with the death or funeral. When they do
not come in person they make use Of the
mails There are some who want to furnish
everlasting floral pieces others who have
the only known process of preserving natural
flowers Then there arc photographers who
seek an order 10 make pictures Of the flowers
used, or in event of the family having no
portrait Of the dead they suggest taking
a picture Of the corpse. Beside these there
are the memorial fends. These mon offer to
furnish memorials of the dead ranging
from an ugly black card containing
the name, the date Of death and age
Of the deceased to tho granite
and marble shafts to put over their graves
Dealers in hair and hair workers have OF late
resorted to this questionable mode OF drum
ming up business and send out agents to so
licit orders for designs in hairwork Jewel
ers also suggest most respectfullytthe i'd
visibility Of having the hair Of the dead
made up into chains, brooches, charms, etc,
and our undertaken told me that he had
known Of cases where Seal estate mon having
burial plots for sale had approached bereaved
families seeking to dispose Of a plot or grave,
even after no had toldsthem that tho matter
of burial spot had been left to him. / also
know Of a case where tho interment was to
be in distant city, which was no sooner i'd
vertised than two railroad men wrote to the
family and offered special rates to q certain
number Of mourners. These were our rea-
sons for not advertising grandma's death. y

Tho Lock Of Striking Thinns.

There are people who deplore in a melan-
choly way the loss Of the golden ago Of
literature" that, they tell us, has gone for
ever. Everything today is commonplace.
There are no fine essays, no grand poems, no
wonderful dramas that will live forever, no
striking stories. The literature OF today is
only 'the pouring Of wine out Of old bottles
into now" and lots Of wine spilled in the
process. Our writer's are busy over what
some other men thought Of what some other
men said II this be so, and in a certain
sense 1t is true what issthe matteri Why is
it no ''Hamletsn are written today2
1t is said that there arein the United States
about two thousand persons who fairly NAV
be reckoned as writer's Why do we not find
new Millions and Shakespeare among them?
We may be sure, if they wero there, they
would be found Centuries have there indi-
vidualities. There are tides IN the lives Of
nations. May there not now be an ebb in
the literary work Of these timesg There is
certainly "a young floodn in the scientific
thought of this half of our century The
character Of this century's thought is tech
nical, industrial, scientific Literature is
after all, only a mode OF expression. Nav it
not be possible that the Millions OF these DAYS
arc using another mode Of expressiona Ger
tainly, II we look at a mind like Edison's, we
see an original genius taking rank beside the
great creative minds of the so called golden
age Of literature
A hundred years ago Edison would have
shown the thought that Is in him by means
Of a great poem or drama. Today it seeks
another and equally striking mode of ex-
preston Besides this widest division Of in
tenectual life into new fields Of labor may be
noted another point The critical demand
today is for originality. We are tired Of
books about books The wine is no better
for the new bottles-let US have new wine.
This demand has made it very difficult to say
anything new or striking. All the possible
phases of human experience have been de-
scribed, all the Situations In which men
and women may be placed have been re-
peated many times In our novels and dramas.
There is no new personal experience, other

THE WAY IT WORKS.

The protective tariff operates in 4
droll way. A Rhode Island cotton
spinner worth s5,00O,000 buys a bale
OF free cotton raised in Georgia bv a
Woodworking black man, whose en-
tire estate would be overvalued at
SO, and manufactures it into coarse
shirtings. Right at this point the
protective tariff begins to have effect
1t did not work on the Georgia cot
ton so long as it was in the hands of
the black man who raised it, but ma
soon as it passes from his possession
into the hands of the 81. 600 600
Rhode Island manufacturer it exhib-
Its marvellous energy. 1t forces
the black man to buy his own cotton
back in the form of shirtlng at a fair
price and 40 per cent extra for the
protection of the Rhode Island mil
honalre. But the Georgia black
man is too poor to afford more than
two shirts at time, and it will take
hundred others like him to buy
chat bale Of Georgia cotton in the
form OF shifting from the Rhode Is-
land manufacturer. The bale of
shirtings is worth 500 at a fair price,
but the tariff adds 40 per eent-s24
and the United States government
therefore compels the 100 Georgia
negroes to pay the Rhode Island
spinner 1874 tor 500 worth of shirts.

MARIETTA 4 n. GA. K. II.

The work Of putting the entire line
in readiness Tor the change OF gauge,
which will be made in August, is
progressing with all the rapidity
with which it is possible for the com
pany to prosecute the work. For
the twenty-five miles between Mari
eta and Canton, almost an entirely
new railroad is being built. This
section OF the road was built first, and
it has been found that its grades and
curves will not be suitable for the
wider gauge consequently it will be
abandoned for a new and more prac-
ticable route. Some of the heaviest
work ON the whole line is in this sec
ton, and the work on the new line
will shorten the distance between
Marietta and Canton nearly two
miles. 1t runs along the present
line, frequently crossing it, and in
the main is as nearly a straight line
as possible through the very sinuors
course Of the present route.
From Canton to Murphy the con-
struction Of the road was made with
"a view to the change of gauge there
fore this part Of the line can be put
in proper condition for the change
with comparatively little work.
The new rails for the change have
been ordered, and the Baldwin Lo-
connective Works are now engaged in
constructing FIVE undetermined cyl
inder engines for the road, which en-
gines will be the largest in the south
ern states.
it is OF course only question Of
time as to when the railroad will be
extended from Marietta to Atlanta,
and there is now scarcely doubt
but that the next legislature will
grant this privileges. The city Of
Knoxville voted 100000 for the ex-
tension Of the road to that city, and
this work is now being pushed as
rapidly as possible Going through
one of the toughest and most noun
famous sections OF the south, the
work is necessarily slow, but its com
pletion is certainty. Atlanta Con-
stitution.
