Senator Browns Chivalry.
From the New York Tribune,

FROM The NeLU York Tribune.
1t is one of the misfortunes of the rich Sena-
tors 10 be constantly besieged by applicants for
small loans. Among the most wealthy men of
the Senate is Brown, of Georgia, whose patri-
archal beard and air of solemnty make him a
particular target for the impecunious. The
way in which he repealed one Of the applicants
on his generosity is related something like this
Across the hotel table from the Senator sat a
sad-eyed woman boarder who had once been in
good circumstances but upon whom adversely
had frowned of late.
Senator" said the sad-eyed lady, ''you
Southerners are so chivalrous, so ready to assist
those in Distress"
Yes" replied the Senator, hesitating; he had
heard that before from the sad-eyed people,
and he thought he OWNED what was coming
Would you, Senator, with your true South
ern chivalry, do me favor and a great kind
neSs?n
Yes, Madam, what is-that is-it depends
somewhat"
:. Thin" =, well Senator, before you promise, for
The tones of The same old song the Senator
had heard many times before from parties who
wanted SO loan.
II am afraid, Madam, that will have to-but
what is it you wish anyway"
That you pass the catSup-you have every
thing on your side. D."

the agent had fed.
In a London Square.

From Good Words
Mid the ceaseless throng as it surged along.
In an angle of the street,
They stood and proffered their woodland flowers
Sweet violets-not so sweet,
And lilies not so fair and pale
AS the maiden's foam-wbite face,
With its fine clear-curved Madonna brows,
And its subtle southern grace.
And the boys dark eyes with their grave sur
prise,
Had the twilight glow that shines
In southern lands where the sunshine falls
Through the dust of purpling vines.
What bitter turn of fortunes wheel
Had sent the wanderers here,
From the shores where roses and lily blow
All through the golden year.
And here and there a kindly heart
Would pause moments space,
Touched by the sisters pleading glance
And the wonderful Raffaelle face,
And perchance dewy primrose knot
A penn 'orth of fairy gold
BY the silent lips and the speaking eyes
Repaid a hundredfold
And lingering there in the crowded square,
| thought. Is this but one
OF the thousand sordid secrets hid
In our sorrowful Babylon?
Or is the silent woe that looks
From the maidens great sad eyes
The shadow pale of some tragic tale
OF seepless memories?

The cashier is still in bed, and the doctor says
it is a very serious case.

An Indignant Corpse.


The other day in the streets of Belgrade the
police found a man apparently frozen to death
friends, who naturally set about burying him.
AS the funeral was going to the cemetery the
frozen gentleman so far thawed as to rap on the
inside of his coffin what a curious thing that
our British corpse should have done the same
thingD, and he raped so loudly that the
funeral party bolted. The hearse driver think
ing possibly that such conduct on the part of a
corpse was Illegal drove the coffin to the police
station, and gave the contents into custody for
creating disturbance at its own funeral. The
police undid the coffi and the dead gentleman
Immediately sat up. and complained bitterly of
the conduct of his friends in being in such a
hurry to pnt him underground.

at is not strange" says the Philadelphia
Press, that the Southern Democrats should
feel inclined not to instruct their delegates
to the National Democratic Convention.
On general principles, the South is opposed
to instruction, political or otherwise" The
South has received some instruction from
the North. Some years ago Northern car
pet-baggers came South and sought to in
struct our people in the science of govern
ment. The carpet -baggers and their friends
waxed fat on public plumber, while the peo-
pie came near starving. The South is op-
posed TO that sort of instruction. 1t is also
opposed to the sort lately impaired to some
people of Pennsylvania by the Governor of
that State. He spent few hours in Florida
lately, and on his return declared that pro-
lection was spreading like wildfre through
out the South. He probably talked with a
few Pennsylvania protectionists in the hotel
at which ne stopped.

From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
Java paper is assured by a correspondent
that the most effective way to keep the ground
floors of dwellings and store houses dry is,
when building, to spread over the spot layer
OF fine coal dust stamped compactly. layer
OF sand of equal thickness is then laid over 1t,
and upon that the floor. When so constructed
the floor will, 1t is said, always remain dry fro
the coal dust absorbing the moisture of the soil.
from dampness and continue dry To keep
away white ants the laying of a layer of coal
dust under ground floors, has proved highly
serviceable owing to the inability of these de-
structiye insects 70 make their way through it.

What is the matter with these Tennessee
congressman Another one of them has
announced his determination to retire to
the shades of private life. His name is
Butler, and he is a Republican. Either po-
litical ambition is at low ebb in Tennes-
see, or the rotation system is more generally
adhered TO. Senator Isham G.. Harris, how
ever, does not propose to retire, although
several aspirants for his seat have limited
that it is time for him to do So If the ro-
tation system is followed, it is confined to
the House.

Here is the Troy Times making the state
ment that Protection Democrats in Georgia
Will not support any but Protection nom
inees for the Presidency this year. The
statement has stale odor about it, II was
started in some Republican newspaper some
months ago, and has made the rounds out
side of Georgia. OF course there is no truth
in it, and if there were, the Protection DEM
ocrats are not strong enough in Georgia to
do any great harm.

Gov. Hill and His Enemies.

Some of the enemies of Gov. Hill, OF New
! York, are trying to create the impression
| that he has been mixed up in the financial
| transactions of a kind not calculated to re-
feet credit upon statesman who takes
pride in keeping his record spotless The
charge is made that he procured $50. 600
| from two New York acqueduct contractors
for campaign purposes i'll 1885, and one of
the Republican Senators has introduced
resolution into the Senate at Albany to in
vestigate that and other charges.
1t can be safely said that Gov. Hill has
not been guilty of corrupt practices of this
sort. He has a bitter enemy in Mr.. Platt,
the Republican boss of New York. Mr..
Platt, it will be remembered, was the State
Quarantine Commissioner, and because he
failed to attend to his duties satisfactorily,
the Governor removed him. He has been
watching, it is said, for chance to get
even with the Governor, and there is a
pretty well founded belief that be is respon-
sible for this charge against the Governor
The name of one of the contractors is OF rien,
and the other is Clarke. The Governor has de-
clined to make any statement with re spect
to the charge, because he prefers to wait
for the Investigation and make his state
ment to the investigating committee
O'Brien. however, talks freely and says that
he courts an investigation. He declares that
his firm made no contribution to the cam
paign fund in 1885, but that he gave note
TO the fund for $4,000 with which the
Governor had nothing whatever to do.
The investigation will probably show that
money was contributed to the campaign
fund by men who now hold contracts on
the acqueduct, but nobody but the Gov
ernor's enemies will believe that the CON
tractors got their contracts because they
made these contributions. The Governors
enemies may annoy him, but they will not
be able to prove him to be corrupt

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, does not think
that necessarily New York will be the
pivotal State next fall. He says the Re-
publicans might carry Connecticut, New
Jersey, Indiana and a few Southern States,
and in that way get a majority of the cleo
toral votes Is that to be Senator Culloms
plan when he is nominated9 With Cullom
as their candidate, the Republicans might
have chance to carry few Southern
States-a mighty doubtful chance.

Rhode Island a Doubtful state.

From The Chicago Tribune (ReD)
The Republican plurality at the recent cleo

The twin candidates from Indiana are
causing the Republicans of that State to
wonder who will get the delegation to Chi
cago. On this point the Springfield Repub-
iicdn says: There seems to be no doubt
that the Indiana Republicans will send
solid Harrison delegation to Chicago But
if Harrison's claims cannot be impressed on
the convention, and if "a strong Gresham
feeling develops there, all Of lndiana's
thirty votes are expected to be pumped for
Gresham. John b. Elan. Gen. Harrison's
law partner aud firm friend, is in favor of
doing just that" Harrison's friends may
talk that way before the delegates are in
structed, but they will change their tune if
they go to Chicago with solid delegation
in his favor. There it will be very difficult
TO convince them that his claims cannot be
impressed on the convention, or that de-
mand for Gresham exists.

From the Galveston Nelcs (Denl)
A Republican paper exclaims exultingly that
Malone has the Republican vote of Virginia

hand it over triumphantly to John Sherman
next November. When November comes it
will be found that the Republican vote of Vir-
ginia will be small enough to go in a much

discovered way to crawl out of the very
awkward hole in which he finds himself
concerning the bond-purchasing bill" No

mas. His way is to go ahead and do what
he believes to be right, and very good
way it is. So the people seem to think.
