South. 1t was the situation CT the
United States. The people of this
country had made up their
minds that there should be no ignorance
where it was in the power of the State

United States to prevent it. He criti-
cised severely the letter quoted yester-
day by Senator Morgan from Mr.. Mar
BILE, superintendent of common schools
in Worcester, Mass, characterizing it as
"a poisoned arrow in favor of igno-
rance" If education, he said, in con-
clusion, was not to dissipate the dark
cloud of ignorance that existed in the
South, that cloud would grow darker
and lower. If ignorance could not be
lifted from the low level where it now
rested it would not stay there, but would
go lower and lower and would become

Mr.. Blair made some additional state

Colyer, of Nashville.
Mr.. Bate replied briefly to these OBJ

estimable and able gentleman, but he
was somewhat of a crank on the Blair

there was scarcely Republican elected

Seriousness of Cuban c%ourtsl,ip.

The surveillance of parents over daugll-
tiers renders the matter of courtship q serious
affair III Cuba. Many young men actually
become dolorous objects from persistent scrc-
nading before so much as civil recognition
by thef family is granted. But there is I'M
doubtedly a high quality of patience exlib-
tied on the part Of the family, as well as by
doughty lover. Time after time, at all hours
of the night, oil returning to my hotel from
divers wanderings i'll the Cuban capital,
have l passed these love stricken youths,
stationed opposite the homes of their inam-
oratas in all manner Of agonized attitudes,
stunning dew mufled notes upon ancient
guitars. and lifting their voices in passionate
though doleful petitions to the night, the
moon, the stars and all tile saints, to aid
them in reaching the ears and hearts of their
adoradas.
All this may seem ridiculous to us, but it
is far from that to those who thus pour out
their souls upon tho night. Nobody pays
any attention to it. The parents, who arc
used to it, simply turn in their beds with
thanks to the saints that their doors are
massive and the windows arc OF iron bars.

But though the cat has undeniable power
he can never hope to reach the top notes of

animal. He confines himself mainly to one
tune, which begins in n semi-apologctic low

Marking Goods at Odd Prices.

1t has become il frequent custom among
dealers to mark their goods at some odd
prices, such as %, AZ or % cents. Said a
Broadway dealer the other day: "You would
be surprised to SEQ how much Of an induce.

return of two or three cents in change seems
a small matter, but long observation has
taught me that many a person will buy an
article for % cents, for example, which ho
would not buy if it were marked % cents {"
The principle also extends to comparatively
high priced goods, which are often marked a
certain number of dollars and an odd number
of cents. The odd price is almost invariably
so fixed as to be slightly less than the value
of some coin in common use, the idea beng

Tho trouble began in the side hill potato
