IL Is worthy me attention OF everybody,
ana especially Of yonng msn atandiug as
the startling poat Of active life, 20 consider
the supreme value OF character sc means
60 success--to that highest degree OF sue
csss which carries with 10 honor and happl-
meas. Now and again there are presented
significant illustrations Of character com
pelling the tribute OF tho ilercest oppnnents,
one OF which Is ehown in the hearty, cor
dial words OF respect and admiration
which SONS Of Samuel J. Randall's polit.
ical antagonias are speaking OF him. With
respect TO bis illness. the Record, which
has lately opposed Mr.. Randall and his
tariff policy with great vgor, says;
'In Mf. Randall's illness he will meet
with nlncerest sympathy from his fellow
countrymen, without distinction OF party.
Whatever may be thought Of the Pennsyl
yeBis etatesman's methods Ia the treat
meat OF political sud economic questions,
his singleness OF purpose aud earneatnesa in
maintaining his opinions have commanded
respect, even where they have seemed TO
operate In ent0gonism to the public wei
fare. The Record sincerely trusts that Mr..
Randall's present physical prostTation will
prove to be hut an evanescent attack, and
that he may enjoy complete recovery and
many added years OF usefulness"
The recognition by the Now York World
which also has coutended mghtiiy against
hr. Randsli's economic principles, is
equally frank, manly and admirable, that
journal saying; Representative Samuel J..
Randall is again seriously III In Washing-
ton. His Philadelphia physician has been
20 Washington to attend the stricken Rep
resentauve. Mr. Randall differs with his
party on the paramount issue before the
country, bus bis experience, honesty and
ability make him legislator whom his
country and party could i'll afford to lose. ,
A man who thus commands the praises
OF his antagonists, who compels the esteem
and respect OF every one through sheer
forcs OF character, whose ability and inieg
rity are 80 assured that even those who are
daily waging battle against him are
forced to acknowledge them, is one the ex
ample Of whoselife indicates the real road
to the truest form OF success. Such genuine
manly tributes OF regard from his oppon
euts also suggest great worth OF character
on their part also.

A good peach crop in Delaware and
Maryland is said TO be assured, but this is
subject that no longer interests con
sumers. The circle OF distribution has
been so widened by fast freight trains on
the railroads. and the market increased
by. canneries. that, no matter how large
the crop may be, the f'uit is not sacrificed
to buyers, as it was 20 OF 80 years ago
Producers have a stesdier market; con
sumers no longer get great bargains II the
crop should be email the bulk Of Il will be
marketed 10 Philadelphis and New York
if it should be large these markets will not

effect OF organization and an improved

does not pay to have peaches or anything
else sold below the cost OF production, plus
a fair profit 20 all who are concerned in its

that large stone had fallen in the
field crushing all the oats for several
feet around and sinking several inches

One Of our oldest experiences was visit
leo genuine "cobijarn or Cuban house rails
ing. A couple had been married About =
caballeYia Of land had been given them by an
old Montero father, and planters and yeoInen
lalike, some from as far as twenty leagues
away among the mountains, had come to
make a sort Of festivity out OF setting the
queer home upon its legs Over 100 men
were here, and their little ponies we're teth-
cred for half mile up and down the road
Two fat bulloclzs had been killed and roasted
and there was no end Of roasted pigs and
tender lambs from the mountains, with ali
sorts OF unnamable Cuban country dishes
Perhaps a score Of men were employed in the
cooking alone There were casks Of aguari-
diente and nagons of cheap Catalan wine,
and these splendid, swarthy fellows made
many picturesque groups among tho laurels,
palms, tamarinds and mignonettes which
here grow 10 the height Of our own Towering
locu1ts
But 70 me the construction Of the house
itself, as it arose in the wilderness garden,
under the lazy, visiting sort Of efforts of
the crowd, was fully as interesting. 1t was
built OF quebrehacha lax breaker1 wooden
posts, interviewer with the long, straight
and thin saphngs OF llaya, until complete
and most dexterous network Of side walls
was made. This woven work is perhaps
eighteen inches in thickness, and as rapidly
as it progressed upward a score or so of qua
jiros forced into the chinks and interstices "a
hard plaster made Of clay, water and the
tough espartillo grass so that by the time
the casa de vivienda was ready for its roof,
as two or three days are consumed in a Gu
ban house raising, the sides are dry and solid
az a brick wall This particular structure
was about forty feet square in area, making
pretty comfortable home for newly we'd
ded pair The roof went to tremendous
height at tho ridge, and with its bellying
arch OF llaya poles reaching out over rude,
wide porches, was thatched with the broad
leaves OF the palma de manaca, a small spe.
eies Of palm, which serves for perfect shell

Enterprise. - We have received copy Of
the Home Seekers journal, issued by the
Harris county Texas immigration Association
The Hon John 7. Brady, Of Houston, is the
President Of the association. The aim
Of the publication is to furnish those seeking
homes with reliable information in referface
to that portion Of the State, and in great mi
nuteness and clear detail it furnishes that in
formation. From far off Texas we receive de-
scriptiye circulars, and in attractive style We
are invited to investigate for ourselves, state
ments made By the euterprising association,
of which the honorable gentleman, former
Charles countian is head, and yet to our
shame must it be said, that never has there
been systematic effort made oy united com
munity, TO attract settlers who have the
means to purchase the waste lands which we
have in abundance. Right here under the
shadow of the National Capitol, with a eli
mate unsurpassed and lands naturally fertile,
4 but which have been made Improbable BY
unskillful culture We offer attractions to
those seeking homes which no other section Of
our country affords And with proper, syste-
matte, and earnest effort, something similar to
that mode by our more energetic Southern
friends, our section could soon ne made popu-
/ lous not with paupers, but with thrifty in
dustrious class of intelligent citizens who
would made Southern Maryland blossom as a
rose We unfortunately have too few John
