PROVERBS,

All nations and ages have con.
d-nsed the result Of their experiences
and observation into germs of thought
called proverbs. They are often
called, "The flowers of popular wis
dcm," or 1.-THE wisdom of the un.
learned" in recognition of the fact
that it is the experience of the
masses, not the research of the
student, which has discovered aud
crystalized their treasures of wit and
wisdom. A most convincing proof Of
their truth is the fact that they have
stood the wear and tear of ages and
are as fresh to dry as when first coined.
Another popularity is that they seem
to US always the same; in youth, in
manhood and in old age they speak
the same language. and carry convic.
ton with the same strength. This is
true of no other literature in the
world, because tive who read are not
the same interpreters" Life, with its
unfolding mysteries, has changed and
deepened our natures, and "few, if
any, book seems to US the same If we
read it again after many years have
passed" Max. Muller, the great
philologist, says: alt is not the words
that others say to US, but the words
that they make US say to ourselves, in
which we find our sharpest rebukes
and our greatest lessons" And
proverbs are the result of those mo
ments when our reason, or our pas
sions, speak for us, land we stand BY
and wonder" We give here few
of the proverbs of different nations:
FROM TIE TALMUD.
Tho soldiers fight, and the kings
are the heroes.
Hypocrites steal leather and make
shoes for the poor.
With the same measure with which
you measure it will be measured to

Are Republican Prospects Brighter

1t might be well to inquire if there is suf-
ficient ground for Mr.. Blaine's hope, ex-
pressed in his letter to Chairman Jones'
of Republican success this year. In giving
prominence to the Republican gains in the
vote of 1884 over that of 1882, he omits
| quite important facts connected
with the two campaigns, viz, that that of
1882 was for State officers and Congress
men, it was waged in an ''off year, and it
had practically no bearing on that of 1884.
No one will deny that party lines are more
loosely drawn in ''off years than at any
other time. In 1882 the detection from and
the apathy in the Republican ranks were
considerable, but in 1884, the voters very
generally went to the polls, and the disaf-
fected members returned to the ranks. Prac-
tically there was no Republican gain worth
| speaking of. That party simply polled its
full vote.
Mr.. Blaine's second reason for his faith
is that a change of one Democratic vote in
every 1000 in New York would give that
| State to his party and insure Republican
success But will such a change take place.
Is it not more likely that the Democratic
Democrats contended against heavy odds
The Republicans were in power, and the in
| fluence of the government was naturally
given to that party. An army of office
holders was vitality interested in the success
of the Republican ticket. Many of the
business men of New York thought it
| would be a dangerous experiment to put
the affairs of the government into the
hands Of the Democrats There was a fac
tional fight among the Democrats OF New
York city which probably lost a number of
votes to Mr. Cleveland. Tammany Hail was
not satisfied with the Presidential ticket.
small Butler faction was at work against it,
ana the Democrats had their hands full in
looking after their own voters. Under such
circumstances they carried the State Can
they not do so now, with the prestige of
success i'll their favor, the government in
their hands, the fears of business men al
layed, the unity OF the party restored, and
four years of successful and business-like
control of affairs upon which to go before
the country. 1t certainly SEEMS that they
are in much better shape than they were IN
1884, and that they can poll their full
strength, besides making threads into the
ranks OF their opponents. When they poll
full vote, they carry New York.
Mr.. Blaine thinks the tariff issue will help
the Republicans to carry New York. which
he comedies to be the pivotal State. He
forgets that the Democrats carried it last
year by 1000 majority on a distinctly
tariff reform platform. Does this Indicate
that tariff reform is unpopular in New
York! The Democrats are willing to go
before the people on that issue IL is one in
which the peoples interests are involved.
and every day brings fresh evidence that
the policy of the party meets with the
favor Of those who are to do the voting.
Altogether, Mr. Blaines hope has not a
very solid foundation

Crarleston,s Good Fortune.

South Carolina Congressman are making
extraordinary efforts for appropriations for
improvements at Charleston. Senator
Hampton says that if the River and Har-
Dor Committee doesn't give Charleston har
Dor more than $500 900 he will undertake to
have the amount increased in the Senate to
100000 Representative Dibble, of the
Charleston district, has secured favorable
report from the Public Building Committee
on his bill TO increase the appropriation for
Charleston's new public building from
100000 to $500, 900, and the chances are
that the latter amount will be appropriated.
OF course Charleston is to be congratu-
lated upon her good fortune, but in view of
her generous treatment Savannahians can
not help wondering why it is that Savannah
is dealt with in such an extremely econom-
ical way. Charleston already has public
building which is perhaps the finest and
most costly government building in the
South except the one at New Orleans.
Savannah is certainly deserving of as
much consideration from Congress as
Charleston. She is the second cotton port
of the country, the first naval stores mar

commerce is greater than that of any other
city on the South Atlantic coast. She is
certainly as much entitled to a $500, 900
public building as Charleston. Her ap-
preparation for a public building is only
$780, 900, and the part of it that is appro-
priated for a site is so small that great diff
Guilty is experienced in getting one.
Indianapolis is not "A much more impor
tant city than Savannah yet she is about
to get 81 800, 900 for public building. Sa-
vaunah is placed upon a footing with little
onehorse towns. Her commercial impor-
lance appears to be entirely overlooked. 1t
is stated that it was with difficulty that
even 100000 was obtained. If this is the
case it shows either that there is DISPOSE
ton to discriminate against Savannah or
that Congress is not sufficiently informed
respecting her commercial Importance.

A Candidate for the Republicans,

The suggestion that the Republicans nomi-
nate Mr.. George W. Childs, of the Phila-
delphia Led1cr for President. has been made
quite frequently. but generally in joking
sort of way as if it were not intended that
1t should be taken seriously. The Phladel-
phia Times, a day or so ago, in a double
loaded editorial gave some very good rea-
sons why the Republicans could not do a
wiser thing than to make Mr. Childs their
candidate He is conspicuous for his integ-
rty and bis advocacy Of all reforms which
tend to elevate the public service. He is
widely known for his charities AMI his
record as a straightforward, successful bus
mess man is second TO that of no other man
in the country.
The Democrats were induced to nominate
Mr.. Cleveland because he had record as
an honest reformer. What he promised the
people to do he did, and he proved to be
just the kind of a man the people were look
ing for He had no reputation as a states
man, and the country knew that he was
neither a learned nor brilliant man. The
people wanted him, however, because they
were tired IF the politicians who make SO
many promises to henchmen, that, when ele-
waited to responsible positions, they are COM
PEELED to sacrifice the interests of the coun-
try in order to pay their political debts.
Mr. Childs is something of the sort of
man that Mr.. Cleveland is, though it is
doubtful il he have the strength of charac-
ter to do what be knows to be right that
the latter has. He has good intentions,
however, and if he were made President he
would try to administer the government
wholly in the interest of the people. He
would have a very hard task and might not
meet with such success in accomplishing it
as Mr. Cleveland does.
There is one thing that is pretty certain
and that is that no man is going to be eiec-
ted President whose record justiies the con
clusion that he will not continue the reforms
which Mr. Cleveland has inaugurated. The
people know that the public service has
been PUT upon a much higher plane by this
administration than it ever occupied while
the Republican party was in control of the
government Politics has been eliminated
from all the minor offices and merit now
controls appointments to them. Political
assessments have been abolished and office
holders are no longer the political bosses in
their respective localities. These and
other reforms the people approve and
they will never consent that they shall be
abandoned. They want to go forward, not
backward, and they will boycott any can
didate who IS known to be spokesman.
The Republicans should think seriously of
nominating Mr.. Childs. If they should
nominate and fail to elect him. they will at
least show the country that they recognize
the good work the Democrats have done,
and are willing to continue on the line the
Democrats have marked out.

CONVERSATION BY WRESTLING.
Row People in Remote Parts Of the
World Communicate at a Distance

Row People in Remote Parts Of the
World Communicate at a Distance.
From the st. james Gazette,
At the last meeting of the Berlin Anthropo-
logical Society, Lieut.. Quedenfedt. German
officer who has lived on Gomero Island, one of
the Canary group, described whsting Ian
guage which is used by the inhabitants The
language does not consist of any arbitrary
series Of signals or sounds: it is described as Or
binary speech translated into articulate whist
ling, each syllable having its own appropriate
tone. The GOmero uses both fingers anu lips
when whistng, and Lieut.. Quedenfedt asserts
that be can carry on conversation WIN a
neighbor mile OFF, who perfectly understands
all he is saying.
The practice is confined TO Gomero Island,
and is quite unknown in the other islands OF the
Archipelago The adoption of the whistling
language is said to be due to the peculiar geo
! logical construction of Gomero Island. II is
traversed by numerous gullies and deep ravineS
running out in all directions from the central
plateau. AS they are not bridged, they can only
be crossed with great difficulty; hence man
living within a stones throw of another IN
straight line has often to go around many miles
when he wishes to see or speak to his neighbor
This. it is coniectured, led to the adoption of
whistling as a useful means of communication,
which has gradually assumed the proportions
of true substitute for speech. 1t is described
as being anything but unpleasing to the ear
This reminds one of the drum language of the
natives of the Cameroons, mentioned in Blu
| cholzs book on West Africa, by means of which
the most complicated messages can be con-
veyed to villagers at distance, when occasions
neceSsitate it. For this purpose peculiarly
shaped drum is employed. BY dividing the sur
face into uneven halves the instrument on
being struck may be made TO yield two distinct
notes BY these and shortening or frightening
the intervals between each note code is eStab-
tabliShed with a regular sequence of taps,
strokes and intervals capable of expressing
every syllable in the language.
All the natives understand this code, and so
highly elaborated is it that chief can by its
means summon to his presence any vilager
whom he desires to see, mtmating to the latter
at the same time the purpose for which he is
required In this way, too, messages can be
sent from village to village over wide stretches
of Countrywide drummer in one hamlet trans
hitting to the next the signal he hears-and
with extraordinary rapdity.
