These figures are very practical. They
show that the pupils of schools only need
a reasonable aud proper incentive to DE-
velop the economy and thrift that are the
basis not only of success, but of progress
There has been no extra expense attached
to this experiment thus far, and there need
be none. The teachers assign one day in
each week on which they will receive the
voluntary savings Of the scholars from one
cent upwards. The different sums thus
collected are deposited by the principal of
the school on the same day in some bank,
to the credit of each individual pupil, who
receives book or card from tle bank
showing the sum deposited to his or her
credit.

BLAINE HELD HER HAND.

A Laughable Incident that Aroused
the Ii Q of West Virginia Beau.
James G.. Blaine, as a rule, confines his
kisses to babies, but he is the most affection
ate handshaker in seventeen States, and nu-
merous curious instances occur during his
trips throughout the United States which
evidence the admiration of women for him.
At Bellaire, during the campaign of 1880
he made a stirring speech, which called
q, 900 people from the surrounding country
The West Virginia girls came over in squads
and each one of them was bound to shake
hands with Blaine. They besieged him at
the little country hotel where he stopped
and pushed their way into his room when ne
was decidedly en- deShdbile. After the
meeting was over they hung around the
train and he reached his arm out of the
window and shook hands with them as they
stood upon the platform.
Now Blaine has a way of squeezing and
holding on to your hand while he talks to
you. He had just grasped the soft, plump
fingers of sweet l6-year- old girl, when
some friend engaged him in conversation
about the girl and supposed he was holding
the hand of the man he was talking to. 1t
NAV be the touch was soft and soothing.
At least he held on, pressing it in emphasis
of each kind word he gave to his friend.
until the young girls lover, whose face had
grown blacker and blacker as he saw Blaine
evidently flirting with his girl, came up
and pulled Blaines sleeve and made him let
go. In the mean time the crowd had began
to laugh and it was very embarrassing for
the girl

AUGUSTA, GA, March 16-The Augusta
Steamboat Company has been instrumental
In securing for Augusta another freight
rate concession. Some days ago it was an
bounced that competing railway lines to
the coast had met the steamboat company's
rate with a reduction of Zoe. The NEWS
correspondent learned to-day from a rail-
road official who had been in attendance
ON the recent session of the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association at Atlanta,
that the rate from Savannah, Port Royal
and Charleston to Augusta on all mer-
chandise is to be reduced 20c.
Commercial circles are jubilant and all feel
that the mission of the boats is already
crowned with victory. Sentiment is
strongly in favor of still standing by the
boats. The concession was contested by
representatives of other points and in past
meetings when sprung had always been
defeated. A stockholder of the boats
speaking this afternoon of the matter, said
that the reduction was equal to a dividend
to the business community.
