We we're going down the Mississippi and had
Just pulled out of NatcheZ, when a man, who
had boarded the boat at that place, sat down
with four or five of us and entered into general
conversation He was learned and intelligent
and was as calm and self possessed as any one
you ever met. BY and by he coolly said:
Gentlemen, want your opinion on a strange
question Let each one of you give his choice
of death in case of suicide"
There was more or less ocular talk before an
opinion was given. There we're five of lis, to be
exact aud two held to laudanum. one to shoot
ing and the other two to drowning. 1t was
agreed however that in none of the cases would
the victim suffer much, providing he was deter

"Why do you ask, colonel?' l dueried after a
while seeing that he was silent.
because it's personal matter with me.
Gentlemen, am very glad to have met you,
and TO have had this pleasant visit. Good
day"
He lifted his hat bowed grandly, and walked
to the port side of the boat and sprang into the
water before the eyes Of fifty people We stood
ready in case he came up, and the boat was
stopped and held but never sign of him did
we see. The father of waters closed in over
another mystery 50 tightly that not even a
fnger-tip was shown to guide us Some day
his body ioated to the surface, to be cast upon
the bank and found, but It was TO be rolled into
a shallow grave and forgotten ere the month

Mrs. Cleveland Kept Her Promise
From The Boston Pos


A fresh illustration of Mrs. Cleveand's tact
and modesty is the latest subject of gossip in
society circles. On Monday evening of last
week a concert was given by a number of local
amateurs for the benefit Of Miss HallOwell, a
crippled young woman residing in the district
The concert was given in an unpretentious little
hall connected with Wizards hotel. 1t was not
in any sense a society affair There was no
long list of lady patronesses socially prominent
i'll the gay world, nor was the audience anything
more than plain, respectable every day crowd
who had paid their money and were there to
get the benefit of it,
In some way Miss Hallowell had secured a
promise from Mrs. Cleveland that she would
attend the performance Requests of this ma
ture are declined by her a score of times week
In this case however, her sympathies were en-
listed, and she gave the required promise. al
though to do so neceSSitated q hurried drive
In from Oak View after an unusually late din
ner. She entered the hall quietly aud took a
seat close to the door That She was not recog-
nized even by those nearest to her was in part
due TO their limited knowledge of her appear
ance and in part to the plainness and modesty
of her attire. When the performance con
cuded she quietly left the hall and entering
her carriage drove back TO her country home
without a soul beyond the ushers and the bene-
ficary of the concert being aware of her pres

The CentraTs immigration Scheme.
Mr.. W. l.. Glessner, who is tho lmmigra
ton commissioner of the Central railroad
company, expects to start on his tour
through the north about the middle OF Au-
gust. The car in which iIe is to make the
tour is very nearly finished, and he is busy
collecting the exhibits of Gcorgia's products
and industries with which the car IS to lo
| filed The exhibits viii include about
everything that is necessary 10 show the
northern people what crops are cultivated
in Georgia and what the products of her
forests, mines and factories are.
Mr. Glcssncr Is very enthusiastic over his
Undertaking, and he will create something
of a sensation at the country fairs in the
northern states. He will carry with him
pamphlets containing such information as
those contemplating seeking homes IN the
south desire, and these ho will distribute
freely
The Central railroad is entitled to great
credit for this effort to induce immigrants
to como to this state 1t is the first time
that any southern railroad has undertaken
anything Of the kind, and it will be gener-
ally congratulated if its enterprise is appre-
ciatrd as it deserves to be.
The kind Of immigrants wanted in the
south will be reached by the method it has
adopted. 1t sends a messenger to the very
doors of those who are seeking now homes,
and places information in their hands which
could not be obtained very well in any
other way. The northern farmers know
very little about the south and the ad-
vantages it holds out TO them and they
will study MIR. Glessner's pamphlets and
examine his exhibits with great deal Of
interest Doubtless many of them will
make up their minds TO abandon the sterile
soil and inhospitable climate of their north
ern homes, and begin life anew in the en-
pire state of the south. One of the reasons
why more of them have not settled in the
south is the lack of information respecting
the part of the south which offers imm-
grants the greatest advantages With Mr.
Glessner's help, however, they will see not
only what Georgia produces, but, also,
what the chances are for making something
more than "A living in this state.
Georgia is not particularly anxious for
immigrants who settle in cities. She wants
immigrants who will bring the soil under
the control of the husbandman, and who
will be not only good citizens, but who will
help to build up the section Of country in
which thoy locate. The Central railroads
immigration scheme certainly has the best
wishes of the most progressive people of the
state for its success.

The Old Story.
From HGrper's 1fn0dzil

From HGrper's Magazine
You may call it filtration, or what not,
Bat don't see that / vas to blame.
How could know that you loved me,
When You never once mentioned the same?
I've walked in the starlight with many,
And riSked my life on the bay,
Yet among them Eve never found any
But had something decided to say.
You thought that your silence ha told me?
The silence that's golden we've heard;
But the girl of today prefers silver,
Coined into words sweet and absurd;
There are lovers whom there's no mist aking,
Whose language leaves no one in doubt;
There are others who leave ones heart aching
For a word there's no living without.
But since the sweet year has grown Olde
And you've failed as a special pleader
Shall he left out in the cold, sir,
Because | was not mind reader?
You blame me, think, without reason;
If you really had something to say,
What matters the time or the season?
Why can't we be happy-to-day?

Trying to Work the Scare Game

Trying to Work the Scare Game
The Norfolk and New Brunswick hosiery
mills at New Brunswick, n j., have tenn
porarily shut down, and 800 mon, women
and children have been thrown out OF en-
ployment OF course the republican organs
say that the shut down is due to the effect
of the probable enactment of the Mills
bill" The president of the corporation,
who is also a rabid republican politician,
lost no time in charging that the bill i'll
question is responsible for the trouble, and
he makes the additional statement that it's
enactment as it came from the house will
cause a reduction In the wages paid the
company's operatives
1t appears, however, that he has not
stated the facts. The shut down is due to
several causes. In the first place the man
nor of conducting the business of tho con
Germ has become very extravagant, high
salaries being paid to officers, and large
force of office employees, chiefly relatives of
directors and officers, whose duties are
mostly ornamental, being kept on the pay
roll. The company also pays out annually
$4,000 for royalties on a lot of machines
not in use Besides, improved machinery
for goods sold in opposition TO those made
by the mills has reduced business, and
large overstock has accumulated
1t is suggested that in the event of the
passage of the Mills bill the company may
avoid a reduction of operatives wages by
looping Off its small army of useless office
employees. Probably 1t has never thought
of this, and no doubt it prefers to continue
to pile up enormous profits and to maintain
an expensive ornamental pay roll composed
of relatives. ANY reduction in the price of
hosiery, from its standpoint, must be made
at the expense of the operatives. Is this
right? Would it not be much better if the
company would be satisfied to receive rea-
sonable profits and to conduct its business
on an economical basisi
From now until election the republican
organs will attribute the trouble to the
Mills bill every time a manufacturing con-
Germ shuts down. This is an old republican
trick-so old, in fact, that no one will DO
deceived by it. Heretoforethe cry has been
that the accession to power of the demo
Gratis meant financial ruin to the country
but that change has boon exploded very eff
fectually, and the desperate republicans
must trump up another. But the 'scare
game" won't work 1t failed in 1884, and
it will fail this year. The people have be
come disguised with a tariff system which
impoverishes them and enriches a few cor
porations.
