A Bit of Manners.

1t was not because he was handsome
that | fell in love with him. For the
little fellow was not handsome as the
phrase goes. But he had clear, honest
eyes that looked friendlily into yours
and n mouth that smiled cordially if
shyly, as my friend touched his plump
little hand which rested on the back
of the car seat. He was with his moth
er. She was plainly clad as was he.
She had a thoughtful face, perhaps a
little sad. / fancied she was alone in
the world; that her husband might be
dead and this little boy her sole treas
ure. He had protecting air as if he
were her only champion and defender.
But he could not have been more than
five years old.
We arrived at our station and left
the car. We waited for the long train
to pass. AS the car in which our little
friend was seated came up he was at
the window. He caught sight of us,
and with the instinct of established
courteous habit his hand went up to
his cap, and the cap was lifted. A
bright smile OH the bonny face and he
was gone
Is it not a comment on the manners
of ninety mine boys that this little
five year old fellow is the lone in Il
hundred" that we remember p Fran
ees A. Humphrey, in Jan. Wide Awake.

Keep Warm.

Rose Terry Cooke says: "If you
want to be happy keep warm. Women
are eaten mp with neuralgia, say the
doctors. No wonder. They sit all the
morning by hot register and then tie
the five or six-inch strip of bonnet
over their back hair, bit of lace film
over their bangs, put on kid boots,
with silk thread stockings underneath,
and dawdle along the pave with bitter
winds of winter sitting their temples,
their delicate ears, their thrOats and
the bases of what should be their brain.
Their outraged nerves shrir < and
culver under this barbarOIs exposure.
But no matter; their chests are we'll
covered with fur cloaks and sacques,
but cold feet, the numb ears, the
Redeemed temples, the exposed neck
will have their own story to tell. Then
you won't wear flannel next the skin.
Why4 Because your waists will look
too large and it is the style to he as
near in shapeliness to that delightful and
lovely insect, the wasp, as humanity
can be forced. Do you really like to
ache and groan and to be laid aside
every few days with agonizing head
aches or painting, laboring hearts /?
Strange, if truel"

Starting a Ballxy Horse.

| was attracted yesterday 10y con
siderable gathering of people in :,
down town street, OccaslODed by ii
baIky horse which even the policeman
himself could not persuade to move
on" All kinds of plans were tried.
First, about Il dozen men showed the
wagon behind, but even then, by firm
ly planting his fore feet, the determin-
ed beast managed to resist progress
sion, although l thought the breeches
would burst An old piece of cloth
was then carefully tied over his eyes,
and, after short pause, he was gently
requested to proceed but he stool
still and the crowd jeered. Next II
rather consequential person came for
ward, and, standing on tiptoe, SO that
he could reach the horses ear, whis-
pered into it something which he eyi
IDENTITY thought would have an instan-
taueous and miraculous effect; but the
animal was deaf to this syren, and the
consequential person skunk off, pur
sued by the sarcasms of bootblaek.
The driver was now in rage, which
vented itself in blows and impreca
tons.
But just as he was passing from this

some four or five different roads, in
three different states. We have no
donbt that there are a dozen news
papers in Vermont whose editors
would refuse to print these statements,
or would hasten to denounce us for
having done so. These newspapers
are sustained, and can live, only by
the money paid them by the farmers
of the state. IF but one of their far
mer subscribers in ten should discon-
tinue his paper on the ground of this
unfaithfulness to their interests, we do
not say that it would cause a change
of heart, but it would surely have a
very solemnizing effect.

OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN.

A writer in Harper's Bazaar on the
occupations of women college gradu-
ates furnishes some statistics to assist
in the affirmative argument upon the
question of the benefit of the collegiate
education of women. These statistics
are also of interest as bearing on the
general subject of the occupations of
women. Of 26l9 graduates from a
dozen co educational and women's col
4 leges in this country, 900, or 35.lO per
cent, are married 949, or 1924 per
cent, are teachers; 1873, or SOY per
cent, are engaged in other professions;
j $50, or 20.55 per cent, are in no gain
ful occupations it is also a noteworthy
fact that many of the "married" grad
yates are engaged in remunerative oc-
equations and go to- swell the percen-
tage of those engaged in "gainful oc
equations"
The wide range of occupations in
which these women are engaged fur
nishes striking evidence of the avenues
of usefulness that have been opened to
women in these later years. Library
work, medical practice, journalism and
art are branches chosen by graduates
3 who have a taste for those pursuits.
From the Western colleges number
have become ranch linen, or rather
ranch women, though larger majori-
ty of the sweet girl graduates out in
that country are enrolled as married"
Six Vassar girls of ~ became physi-
clans, and three lawyers, while anOth
er has already taken a prominent
place among American scientists for
her contributions to the literature of
domestic chemistry. Wellesley sends
out to foreign lands a number of mis-
sionaries besides furnishing more than
an average number To the various pro-
fessiOns. One graduate of the Boston
University has entered the new pro-
fessiOn of sanitation. A Cornell grad
nate has opened IA dental office in New
York city. One of the Michigan grad
mates, Miss Freeman, who was mar
ried to Prof. Palmer of Harvard recent
ly, has been for years president of
Wellesley college. One of the Smith
college graduates is a printer and
another is state superintendent of ny
giene of the national temperance I'M
ion. AS most of these occupations are
open To women who have not enjoyed
the advantages of collegiate course
it will he seen that no women need
complain that avenues of useful Occu
patton are closed to them. Miss Sally
Kennedy, is said to be one of the most
successful real estate agents in Wash
ingtOn. She succeeded to the business
on the death of her father, and her of
flee has been literally patronized. She
is said to have realized several thous-
and dollars in single week recently.
Again two young women named ORA
per carry on successful farm at Au-
burndale, Mass. Two or three years
ago they were teaching school, gave
that up and bought a little farm.
They began by raising chickens, and
their eggs are famous the country
round, every egg being stamped with
the date of it's birth. These enterpris-
ing women have to work hard but they
get fancy prices for their produce, are
making money and, better than all,
are independent.

condition into one of stony despair, a
quiet young fellow waved him aside,
embarrassed the horse, took him ont of
the shafts, and, after leading him
across the street and back, reharnessed
him and handed the reins to the driv-
err, who now drove off without the
least trouble. The ex,edient was
simple but effective, and it suggests
what is, believe, the true philosophy
of the balky horse. The effort should
be not to overcome his fixed idea of
standing still, but to supplant that no.
tion by diverting his attention to some
thing else.

1t is now we'll settled that the Florida
and Georgia watermelon crop OF the present
year is unusually large, and the melons are
remarkable for their excellence.
The Florida roads are carrying about a
hundred carloads Of melons a day, and the
Georgia roads are doing a heavy business.
The shipments are chiefly to north
ern and northwestern points. bat markets
are opening in the southwest, and large
number Of melons have been shipped 70 New
Orleans. The encouraging Yield is not due
to favorable weather. but is the result Of a
better knowledge of melons and their eulti-
Walton, 04I farmers know what 10 grow,

1t Means Blaine.

Although the Chicago convention has
adjourned until Monday, it still means
Blame.
The shadow of Blaine hangs over all,
and it has been there from the first.
When the delegates scattered their votes
among the candidates it was in the interest
of Blaine. The early recess yesterday and
the adjournment when the delegates reas-
sembled-all this was g part OF the Blaine
programme.
The conscience of the convention cannot
rise higher than Blaine. 1t will never reach
such a man as Gresham.
All this means strong, rough, desperate
fight. All the resources of the most daring
audacity; all the expedients that invention
and ingenuity can suggest; all the influence
that wealth and monopoly can control; all
the hero worship that has been given to y
magnetic leader will be taxed to the utmost.
With the issues sharply defined between
honest government and Blaineism, a solidly
united democracy will march on to more
splendid and decisive triumph than the
victory Of four years ago.
Cleveland beat Blaine in the hardest
fought political battle of this generation,
and he viii beat him again. But there is
work before us-hard work and hot work
and we cannot begin too early.
Let our rallying cry be Cleveland and
Victoryi"

The First nistricf.


The nominating convention of the first
congressional district has settled its differ
ences and restored harmony by the nomina-
ton of Colonel Rufus E. Lester, of Sa-
vannah.
Altogether, it is very happy solution Of
the matter, and one which will be most
heartily Endorsed by the democratic voters
of the district. Colonel Lester is not only
representative man Of his district but of the
state. He has for many years been promi-
nent in democratic councils, and he has
served his people not only in Office, but out
of it.
He has not been specially ambitious of
political distinction, but he made most
brilliant record as a member of the Georgia
senate and as presiding officer of that body.
He has also recently served, or is now serv-
ing, as mayor of Savannah. During the
troublous times of reconstruction Colonel
Lester was practically the leader Of the
unterrifed democracy of Chatham, and the
necessities of those days discovered no more
intrepid figure than his.
Colonel Lester has achieved distinction
at the Savannah bar-probably the most
brilliant body of lawyers to be found
in the southland he will win new
distinction for himself in the halls of con-
gress. The convention could not have Sc
lected q candidate better calculated to carry
out their wishes.

The last exploit of the train robbers in
Texas has caused the newspapers of that
state to discuss the existing statutes against
the practice of carrying concealed weapons.
When the robbers boarded the train they
had nobody to contend with but good citi-
2ens, and, as good citizens obey the law,
there was not single pistol in the crowd.
This made it an easy matter for the out
laws to rob the travellers and make their
escape.
The Texas papers Indignantly protest
against policy which disarms the best
people of the state, and leaves them at the
mercy of every desperate who is willing to
defy the law.
In every state In the union this trouble
some question has perplexed the people and
their lawmakers. But the failure to en-
force good law should not lead TO its re-
peal. The law can be enforced. If vigil
lance on the part of the police and the citi-
zcns proves an insufficient safeguard, a
heavy tax on the sale OF pistols, or the alb
solute prohibition of their sale, would be a
long step in the right direction. A long
term of Imprisonment for every 'pistol
toter'' would also have a beneficial effect.
Perhaps even these measures would prove
insufficient in some frontier localities, but
they would smash the hip pocket in thickly
settled regions. The good people of Texas
should not despair. a vigorous crusade
against the pistol will drive it out of every
civilized community.

Iridn,.s snnerstition.

Governor Beaver of Pennsylvania, re-
Gently respitoa Samuel Johnson, the muir
deror of John Sharpless, to October r.
Finding. however, that the 18th of October
would fan on Friday he changed the date
1 10 Wednesday, October II.
This is move in the right direction. In
fact. Il is genuine reform. When Judge
Henry Is. Tompkins, of this city, was pre-
( ss!r1 on the bench Of the Savannah cir
I cu.t. be shocked some of the sensitiyely su-
ycss;.t.ons people OF that section by SEN
fencing a convicted murderer to be hanged
on Tuesday instead of Friday. The shock
was SO severe that Yox Populi, Old Citizen,
Citizen. One of tie People, Scrutator and
other well known persons made indignant
protests through the columns OF the Sayan-
nah papers.
So lar as we know, Judge Tompkins was
the first occupant of the bench to institute
this reform, and il is to be regretted that his
example has not been followed more gen
orally.
1t IS too late in the day for those who sit
in judgment on the bench to be even indi-
reclly influenced by supervision, and the

based on an ancient superstition that is just
about as reasonable as the belief that the
jay-bird carries sand to Satan on Friday, or
that the finger-nails should not be pared on
Friday, or that it is an omen of ill-luck to
undertake a journey on Friday. For this
reason, we are very glad to chronicle the
fact that Governor Beaver has concluded to
have a respited murderer hanged On
Wednesday.
The Friday superstition ought to be
sheyed; or, if ii is to be continued, it is in
order for our judges to vary their charges to
the grand juries by announcing that the
brains of black chicken rubbed on the
gums Of baby will prevent trouble in
teething; that if you step oyera broom lying
across doorway you viii be in the power
OF the person that placed it there; that you
can drive your enemy out of the country by
gathering up the sand or mud in which you
find his track and throwing it into a stream
of running water
If our judges are superstitious enough to
order hangings on Friday, by all means let
them go the whole hog, as the phrase is.
