Very few women have become ia
nsus in literature or art until after
they have reached the prime OF life.
George Elliot was 38 when her first
story was published. Elizabeth
Browning was 81 before she married
or produced her most finished work.
Mrs. Stoves "Uncle Toms Cabin"
did not appear until the author was
80, and Miss Alcott's first noteworthy
story was published when she was
81, while "H. H." was hardly known
to be writer until she was 40

TO carve for herself reputation, and
as we'll to find some outlet for the as

anything to which she turned her at
tention failed her, until she suddenly
and apparently accidentally stumbled
into her true sphere. 1t was when
her disappointments were the most
numerous and her despair was the
blackest, that guided by some unex-
planned impulse, she went into the
garden, and after the fash

She was astonished when it was fin

shapely, and so she attempted an
other and still worthier creation. As
the passion grew upon her, and the
snow melted away, she supplied its
place with potter's clay, and SO rap
idly and wonderfully did her ideas
and her images develop, that in a
short time she was able to realize and
affirm that she found her life-work.
But she was thirty years old, without
the slightest technical knowledge of
even the simplest forms of model
ing; while to the study and
history of art she had paid very little
attention. But she bravely set to work
to make up for the time she had lost,
and although her path was thorny

surmountable, she has-climbed up to
grasp her immortal garland. to which
she is SO Justly entitled. Her statue
of the young Norseman who first
stepped upon American soil is unani-

her recent statue OF Lief Ericsson was,
when it was unveiled in Boston, re-
-ceived with great honors.

The Railroad Flagman's Dog.

From the Neto Orleans Picduune.
There is a railroad station in Western Virginia
that has most extraordinary fagmastsr. The
place is i'll charge of an old, one armed man,
who has been in the employ of the company for
more than twenty-five years, but the duties of
his position are discharged by a small, long
haired, black and tan dog, for whose accommo-
he takes his stand with flag in mouth, when the
car approaches, to direct them when to switch
on He is well known to all the engineers and
conductors and his signals are always obeyed
IhiS dog possesses peculiar intelligence. If a
train is delayed, or an accident has happened
which will prevent its passing the station, the
dog is sent few hundred yards up the road to
give the proper signal. Immediately outside of
the station the road passes through deep cut
with impending rocks on both sides. 1t has fire.

might throw the cars from the track.
To guard against this the dog is ever on the

which has been erected for his convenience and

no fiction, and can be vouched for by many who
have witnessed these performances. The dog
possesses high order of instinct, but behind
this is an intelligence which reflects. reasons
and remembers. Make the dog your friend and
he will never desert or betray you. AS an
enemy he is sometimes implacable, though he
is generally won by kindness.

A Dogs Strange Fascination.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press


novelty of a dog afflicted with a mono
mania is exhibited in the case of a high-bred
skye terrier owned by a,lady on Jefferson street
not far from Twenty-fifth. The animal was
| imported to this country a short time ago, and
is wonderfully intelligent and rational in every
respect pertaining TO an aristocratic dog s
nature with the exception of one mental fail
| ing. The dog was presented to its present mis-
| tress about two months ago. The lady is the
possessor of two pet dogs, but the last one was
Immediately installed as favorite on account of
its superior Intelligence The parlor floor of the
lady's house is covered with Administer
carpet of a very unique design in which there
are curious flowers and running vines.
In short time after the dogs admission to
its new home it was noticed that this carpet
| had attraction for her. She would sit in
chair by the half hour and intently study the
design of the carpet When her attention was
drawn from this study, however, she would ap-
parentiy forget the carpet for the time being
and entertain her admirers with many cute and
grOte5que tricks
AS time wore on, however, the fascination for
the carpet increased. She no longer studied it
from chair, bus traced out the design with her
nose close to the floor after the fashion of
hound following trail. TIE mania increased
steadily until nows she is confirmed mono
maniac. 1t is almost impossible to drive her
from the room. She reluctantly spares enough
time from her study to eat her meals and every
hour in the day and as long as the gas is lit she
follows the bent of her diseased mind.
That the disease is progressive is shown by
the fact that within the past week the dog has
conceived the idea that the flowers in the carpet
are imbued with life, and now she makes fran
tic efforts to catch the flowers with her paws
and mouth. In these antics she is very much
like cat in pursuit of game She crouches and
fixes her eyes on a certain flower, and after
watching it intently for few moments, makes
a spring and attempts to pick it up with her
teeth When she fails in catching the chimera
she looks surprised for moment, glances sus
piciousy at any one in the room, and then re-
Signedly resumes her chase of the Elusive
flowers.
The curious part of the case is that. although
there are other carpets in the house with tiowery
designs. none of them interest her but the one
in the parlor.
The dogs mistress intends sending the pet to
some expert for the purpose of seeing whether
a cure can be effected, aud if not she will send
the dog to the country in the hope that a change
of scene will restore its mental equilibrium.

Crimes Against the Ballot.

The New York Tribune is discussing
election crimes, and it says that in large
number of southern states there Is scarcely
an election into which fraud does not enter
in which voters are not shot or whipped :;
in which ballot boxes are not stuffed and
the votes of many districts thrown out. All
of these frauds, it says. are committed by
democrats. Says the Tribune: when
fraud has been committed in southern
election, it is taken for granted that the
democrats have committed il, because
democratic crimes against the suffrage have
been demonstrated by scores of investIga-
tons. The story may be read in thousands
of pages of congressional testimony"
This is ridiculous. People who are in
formed on the subject understand that the
report of a republican congressional in
vestigating committee does not prove much,
except that the committee is itself good
deal of fraud. it is appointed to make a
partisan report, and generally makes it..
Much of the testimony it takes is manufact-
ured, and the report it makes frequently
could be written just as well before a word
of testimony was taken.
Which party committed the frauds in
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia last
month? The republicans practiced bribery
on very extensive scale. They had all the
money they needed and great deal of it
was used to buy votes. Without bought
votes it is more than probable that Gen.
Harrison would have been defeated
newspaper which has defended the
great fraud of 1876 need not talk about
crimes against the ballot; one which over
looks the wholesale bribery by republicans
in 1888 need make no pretentions to poll
teal virtue in behalf of its party. Public
attention cannot be withdrawn from the
Republican party's corruption by the tricks
of the republican organs The people have
about found out which party commits
fraud, and they don't think it is the Demo-
cratic party.

Judge Adams Charge.

Judge Adams charge to the grand jury
a synopsis of which was published in the
MORNING NEWS yesterday, can hardly fail
to have a beneficial effect in this COM
munity. 1t not only points out what is
necessary to be done in order to secure
obedience to the laws, and to promote peace
and order, but it is also elevating in its
tone and tends to increase the respect for
those who administer and execute the laws,
and to strengthen public sentiment in be-
half of everything that is for the good of
society and the advancement of its welfare
Judge Adams does not content himself
with calling attention to evils in the COM
munity. He strikes vigorous blows at them
whenever the opportunity for doing so
presents itself. By his sentences in con
cealed weapon cases, and his courageous
and consistent attitude in favor of vigor-
Gus enforcement of the Sunday liquor law.
he has done much to lessen crime in this
community.
There is no doubt that bad whisky is the
cause of more crimes of violence in this
county, and in every other county in this
state, than anything else. 1t would be a
great thing for the masses of the people
particularly the colored people-if the
whisky evil could be removed. very
large percentage of the colored people
spends for bad whisky, which not only de-
stroys their health, degrades them and gets
them into all kinds of trouble, the money
which ought to go toward providing for
their families better food and clothing, and
making their homes comfortable.
Such charges to grand juries. however,
as that of Judge Adams, followed by the
prompt and adequate punishment of wrong
doers will strengthen public sentiment in the
right direction, and create a wholesome re-
gard for the law. and the condition of So
ciety the law is intended to bring about.

That Celebration Suggestion.

The suggestion of the MORNING NEWS
that representative business men of Kansas
City and Birmingham be invited to Savan-
nah soon TO celebrate the opening of the
Central railroads new line between Savan-
nah and Kansas City, by way of Birming-
ham. meets with favor, it seems, in Kansas
City. The Kansas City Times has a
favorable reference to it, and Mr.. w d.
NAPLES, of this city, addressed the
chamber of commerce of that city with re-
gard to it last Tuesday. In the course of
his remarks Mr.. NAPLES said that if the
business men of kansas City should visit
Savannah they would be given a reception
which, for heartiness and warmth of well
come, it would not be easy TO surpass, or
even to equal, in any other part of the
country.
Mr.. NAPLES says that the business men of
Kansas City are anxious to meet those of
Savannah, and that they are ready and
willing to turn all the business in this direc-
ton they can. Those of them who are
importers would like to receive their i'm
portations through this port, and the grain
exporters are only waiting for chance to

There is no doubt that a very large bust
ness can be obtained for this city from the
west. All that is necessary is a reasonable
amount of energy, pluck and foresight.
The Kansas City business men can be de-
pended upon to utilize any advantage from
business point of view that is presented to
them. and, they will send large amount
of business here. if it can be made their in
terest to 90 so.

A private letter received in Washington
from Dresden announces that an American
woman has demonstrated afresh that all of
her country-women are American queens Z"
The woman is Bostonian, and her manner
of demonstration was as follows: At the
theater the other night in Dresden the
Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxony entered
rather late, and, as was customary, the
audience rose and remained standing until
the couple were seated. That is, all of the
audience did, except the Boston woman,
who kept her seat, and who was not at all
disturbed by the opera glasses leveled at
heron the contrary, she probably struck
an attitude and enjoyed herself. In reply
to remonstrance from German friend,
she said she was an American sovereign,
and therefore was not called on to rise be-
fore any one. 1t is not probable, however,
that she would have lost any of her sover-
eighty by following custom while in Ores

The Jersey Lily is likely to be snubbed
occasionally as she goes through the world.
The devoted attentions she receives from
Mr.. Gebhard, and her rumored intention to
marry that gentleman as soon as she can
procure divorce, strike rather I'M
pleasantly upon the sensibilities of some
people. Mrs. Langtry was snubbed in

Stanley's wife, who refused to meet her.
All people are not as particular in this re-
spect as Lady Stanford, and probably it is a
pity that they are not.

A New York republican went to a
banquet the other night, but he did not
find assembled the crowd he expected.
Instead of political corruptionists, he found
people who had taken little or no interest in
the election. where" he asked, "are the
men who gave their time and their dollars
to help elect Harrison" That expresses the
republican idea of political work pretty
well. Time is a very good thing to give to
the cause, but dollars are what tell the tale.
The republicans acted on that idea in the
recent election.

Congressman Kilgore, of Texas, was on
hand Monday but he didn't object to any
thing that was done in the House. He
made a pretty extensive reputation last ses-
sion as an objector and succeeded in a con-
siderable measure in winning the laurels of
Congressman Holman, of Indiana. Mr..
Kilgore, however, objected to several things
prior to the meeting of congress, and one Of
them was to having the business of the
south injured by republican policy which
would cause strife between the whites and
the blacks. That is something to object to.

his third wife. 1t was in the old days when
George Q. Cannon, delegate in congress from

three wives. Look said the thrce-married
bridegroom to Gail Hamilton at evening re-
