that the p. esidential nomination could

which grow every day, can be imperiiled
only by lack of unity in council or by
acrimonious contest over men. Tue issue
of protection is intellectually stronger and
greater than any man, for it CONCERNS the
prosperity of the present and OF gener

every voter of the republic to see for
himself the condition and recompense Of
labor in Europe, the party of free trade
in the Uaited States would not receive
the support of one wage worker between
the two oceans. l. may not be directly
in our power as philanthropists to elevate
the Europeaa laborer, but it will be a
lasting stigma upon our craftsmanship it
we permit the American laborer to be
forced down to the European level. Aud in
the end the rewards of labor everywhere
will be advanced if we steadily refuse to
lower tne standard at home.
Yours very sincerely,

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A we'll covered head may be poorly
filed.
Wit cuts quickly, but sense cuts pru-
IDENTIFY.
Take care Of truth, and the errors
will take care OF themselves.
You should forgive many things In
others, but nothing in yourself.
The average common sense of human
ity is safer to trust than the fine spun
ideas Of theorists.
To act naturally is considered green,
but to be trained to act, even like fool
will win admiration.
You know yourself better than any
one can teach you, but do you know
yourself as you ought9
If you must work with others, give
moro than you take, and you will DO
more indepen dent than If you do the re-
verse.
Goodness and virtue should be recog-
nized, not because it springs from .
particular source, but because of its inn
perishable goodness.
Wit is brushwood; Judgment Is tim
Der. The one gives tho greatest flame;
the other yields the most durable heat;
and both together make the best fire.
Philosophers have noticed that when
man makes up his mind that he has
got to practice economy he generally
tries to begin with his wifc's expenses.
What maintains one vice would bring
up two children. Remember many
little makes mike; and further, be-
ware of little expenses. A small leak
will sink great ship.

ShadOMing Bank Clerks.

There are few banks in New York
that regard their clerks as above suspi-
cion.
In these days, when old and trusted
employees are making hasty trips to
Canada, the banks think if they are not
able to lock the stable door, the next
best thing is to roll big stone against
it. The stone in this case is the detec-
tive. Most of the banks employ detec-
tives to shadow their clerks and study
their habits. 1t il the rule to keep
detective on the trail of a clerk for
about two weeks every six months.
Where a clerk has been but a short time
in the employ of a bank he is watched
even more closely than this. An old
employe, whose habits are known to
be steady, is shadowed maybe only once
year. Then clerk may be Swallowed
two nights in succession, and not again
for some time. Besides, tho clerk may
come within range of the detectives
eye when the slcuth-hound is engaged
in shadowing some other clerk.
So bank clerk cannot be too par
ticular where he goes and with whom
he associates, for he never knows when
the eye of the detective is upon him.
Just little too much conviviality with
ones friends may cost him his job or
prevent what was almost certain pro-
motion. There is practically no chance
for him to explain or excuse his con-
duct, for there is probably not bank
President in the city who will admit
that he employs electives to watch his
clerks.
While tho system is an offensive one,
aside from the banks being justified in
adopting it. it results in some good to
clerks. On account Of it there are any
number of bank clerks who could not
be even induced to enter saloon or o
place of questionable reputation. Natur-
ally, a person feels, to say the least un-
comfortable when he thinks that his
steps are being dogged. Particularly
is this so if he is going to call upon his
sweetheart, and he reflects that the de-
tect1ve will prol ably not be contentod
until he finds out all about the young
lady, and in conso quence imagines that
his courtship may become common gos-
sip about the bank Il New York World.

Routing Great Sneakers.

Some of the most experienced orators
have been disconnected by very trivial
circumstances. Daniel Webster, rising
to speak at poultry show, was unable
to continue ia rivalry with giaui
Shanghai which began to air its lung
at the same moment, and had to resume
his seat in confusion. Er5kine was a.
ways extremely sensitive to lack of lna
tcrest by his audience. "Who can get
on with that wet blan ket of face Of
yours before him?' he said once to Gar
row, who was engaged with him in a
cause. His first speech in the House Of
Lords was humiiating failure, owing
to the action of Chatham, who, as
speaker began, took up pen and made
a few notes as if with the intention
of replying; but after listening
few moments, he dashed pen
and paper upon the floor with con-
temptuous smile. This indifference,
real or pretended, completely upset
Erskine, whose 'voice faltered; he
struggled through the remainder of his
speech, and sank into his seat dis
pirited, and shorn of mis- fame" Burke
was also extremely sensitive. Selwyn
relates that he rose of one occasion to
speak, holding a bundle Of papers in his
hand, when arough-hewn country mem
Der started up ana said: 'NIr. Speaker,
l hope the honorable gentleman does
not mean to read that large bundle of
papers, and to bore us with a long
speech into the bargai1." Burke was
so suffocated with rage as to be incapa-
bic of speech, and rushed out of the
house. 'Ncver before says Selwyn,
"did see the fable realized OF a lion
put to fight by the braying of an ass"

SAVANNAH, GA, SATURDAY. JULY %, 1888

NTingo had caused the explosion by
some experiment among the doctors
bottles.
Presently DR.. Kirkdale came out OF
the office. /.
''Kate," he said. 'can you spare a
room upstairs for Mr.. Abercrombiea He
is hurt pretty severely, and fear has
inhaled some of the flames; and don't
want to send him to his boarding house,
where there is no one to take or0e Of
him. want to watch him myse.l."
ooh, yes, papap cried Kate, her
checks and heart aglow for her hero
while the tears raiaed down her face as
she flew about to prepare the very best
room for his reception.
Young Mr.. Abercrombio did not re-
greet the pain he had endured when no
was brought under the roof of such a
charming girl as DR.. Kirkdalo's daugh-
ter, and though he saw nothing of her
at first, yet she gradually came to visit
him once or twice day with a bou-
quet of her own lovely flowers, which
lay, after she was gone, next his heart.
Then it was queer at first but alter
wards very delightful, to have her feed
him on the dainties her own hands pre-.
pared.
And it is not surprising that he kissed
those fair fingers ono day so lovingly
that they blushed clear to their tips and
not many weeks after proudly wore the
engagement ring of Kate's hero, Il At
lanta Journal.
