Rather q Heroic Course.

| heard the other day an authentic story of
something that happened here in Boston, which
recalls an incident in one of Ralsac's novels and
tends to support the old saying about truth and
fiction. 1t seems that the wife of young man
who has little house of his own somewhere in
the outlying districts. but whose salary is very
small, fell ILL., and was unable to leave her room
for several months. The doctor as often hap
pens, prescribed great many remedies, tonics
and beverages such rs Apollinaris water and
champagne, which, being very expensive, were
far beyond the young husbands means What
could be done He was bound that his wife
should have everything which the doctor
ordered, and his purse having been emptied, he
stole out one evening with the parlor clock
under his arm and returned with a S. bill. A
large easy chair was expended two days later
for few bottles OF port wine, and, to cut the
story short, by tn, time the young woman was
able TO go down stairs. the rooms on the first
floor had been stripped of their contents to pay
the grocer and the apothecary
Il must have been a bitter moment for the
poor young wife when she first saw what havoc
dbeen wrought in her drawing room, and |
dste say tlat for few minutes at least her good
man felt that he had been two clever by half.
II must be acknowledged, however, that he had
acted pretty wisely. Health is more important
than furniture and in time the household goods
viii he replaced The plan which this eaterpris-
ing fellow pursued was surely better than that
Of helping himself out of his masters cash box,
and perhaps it was preferable to the ordinary
course of running into debt; certainly it was
more original.

The Child's Swift Subtlety

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
With that quaint disregard for the fitness of
things that some fond fathers show, Pitts
burger, on his return from tour through many
lands, gave to his little daughters, Susan and
Mary, e couple of exquiSitey fashioned dolls he
had bought in Paris Both girls are at the age
wht n doll is dearest to the soul. bus when,
also the mischievous destructive tendency of
youth is strongest A rag doll is just as much
of treasure to a maid of orr as the costlest
combination of wax or china ever made.
The dolls in this case were china, and their
new owners were instructed to be very careful
in handling them. They were awfully careful
for the whole of one day. The next day Susan
became convinced after breakfast that the dolls
had not had enough exercise. She persuaded
Mary to allow her to take temporary possession
of her doll. Then she proceeded to waltz them
round and round the room Both dolls were
exactly alike in every feature, even down to
the smallest article of the Partisan attire.
MFfnaly the calamitous climax came. One of
the dolls came INTO violent collision with an arm
chair, and its head flew off and rolled under the
stern of Noah's ark. Susan looked aghast at
the headless toy for moment, but then with
the greatest composure she turned to her sister
who was holding up her hands in horror. say
ing: TOO bad your dolls broken, Mary"
1t was a rapid flight of reasoning that led
Susan to determine off hand the ownership of
the headleSs doll

Blackberry Blossoms.

From, The Boston Transcript.
From thcket in the corner of a zig-zag fence,
Where the succulent pokeberry stalks uprear,
With sassafras and sumach in a wild growth
dense,
The blackberry blossoms through the brown
rails peer,
With dewdrops shining on their long white
sprays,
Where the yellow bee buzzes and the redbird
flies,
They marvel at the world and its new-found
ways,
With Innocent wonder in their wild, sweet
eyes.
Magnolias are white,
Aud roses are bright,
And many there be that love them;
But with dew besprinkled faces
And wildwood graces,
Oh, the blackberry blossoms are above them
When the pine boughs are swinging in the soft
May breeze,
And bGmble-bees are Boosting of their spring
tide gain.
And the mockbird is singing out his happiest
glees
To the cotton tailed rabbit in the bend of the
lane;
They lean their faces on the moss grown rails
And listen to the melody the mockbird weaves
While the lizards go a-darting with their tremb
ling tails
Like slim long shuttles through the last years
leaves
ChrySanthemumS are FAIR,
. And orchids rare.
And many there be that love them;
But with dew besprinkled faces
And wildwood graceS,
Oh, the blackberry blossoms are above them.
Tuscaloosa, Ala SAMUEL MISTURN PECK,

Postmaster Lamar received two letters
yesterday from men with families who
would like to secure homes in this part of
the south One OF the writers resides in
Michigan, and the other in Maryland. One
wants to get a small farm near this city
aud the other wants to get home on a salt
water river, not far from this city.
There are good many intelligent and
thrifty people in different parts of the
country who would settle in Georgia at
once if they had any encouragement to do
so. The truth is, however, that they do not
know where to 90 to look for suitable lands.
Immigrants who 60 to the west know that
there are millions of acres of public lands
there from which to select farms. In this
state there are no public lands, and there
are no means of finding out what lands are
for sale, what the prices of them are, and
what the nature of their soil IS.
The MORNING NEWS has suggested many
times that there ought TO be an agency in
this city to furnish information respecting
the lands of the state. There are hundreds
of thousands of acres which can be obtained
for prices only little above those of gov

a strong land and immigration company,
Were located here, it ought to be equipped
SO as to do land business. Options upon
thousands Of acres could be obtained, and in
that way prices could be kept within rea-
sonable bounds.
Before there can be a great amount of
immigration here, there must be some
means adopted for making known the
localities in which good land at fair pri ces
can he obtained. The immigrant and the
landowner must be brought into communi-
cation with each other, and that can be
done only in such an organization as above
suggested. Are there not some enterpris-
ing men in this community who are willing
to take hold of this matter and make it a

A Health Bureau Desired.

The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce
framed bill, creating a bureau of health,
few weeks ago, which it proposes to ask
congress to pass this winter. A copy of the
bill has been sent to the Board of Trade Of
this city, and Mr.. John r. Young. Mr..
Horace A. Crane and Mr.. w. w. CHS
holm have been appointed a committee of
that body to consider it, and secure an
approval of it from the commercial bodies
and health authorities of this city.
The proposed health bureau is to he at
tached to the Interior Department 1t is to
have a chief commissioner and board of
twenty commissioners. This board is to
be a sort of assistant to local boards Of
health, and its services will be at the COM
mand of the governor Of any state 1t is
authorized to make regulations for land
and sea quarantine, and trades and travel
cannot be interrupted except in accordance
with snch regulations.
The bill appears to be crude one, and,
perhaps. if if it were to become a law, the
places it provides would be filed by physi-
clans who like politics better than their pro-
fession. In fact. it doesn't promise any bet
ter results than we're obtained from the ma
tional board o. health, which, as everybody
knows, was failure.
Instead Of creating another bureau, why
not enlarge the powers and increase the
force of tie marine hospital servicel That
service is now thoroughly organized, and
its physicians are trained men, who have
been connected with it since they began the
pract ce OF their profession.
II man of ability and determination is
selected to succeed the present efficient head
| of that service, and he is authorized to
I establish quarantine, and deal with cpl
denies in any part Of the country, whom
ever the assistance of the marine hospital
service is desired, and is given all the assis-
| lance he needs, he will do the country a
! great deal more service than a health
| bureau, such as the New Orleans chamber
of commerce wants. We have had one
| health bureau; now let us give the marine
! hospital service, which has proven itself to
be IF some account, fair trial.
