WOMAN'S GENIUS DISPLAYED.


boston IfUNScflpt.
The quantity of things which woman
with gift of packing can bring back in
one trunk from summer soiourn in the
country is matter for the marvel of the
country people, the terror of the bag
gage handlers and hackmen, and the de-
lighted admiration of the reunited home
circle. There is one woman of the Lis
tener's acquaintance whose packing tai
ents are something phenominal.
Up at East Ephesus, where she spends
her summers, they have become fully
acquainted with her gifts in this respects,
and always send around two extra hands
with the coach when she gets ready to
take her departure. This year she sue
ceeded in getting into one rather small
trunk not only all her clothing, except
what she wore, and that of two children,
besides toys, books, magazines and the
customary infantie and maternal knick-
knacks. but long list of such articles as
these: A box of ginger cookies, such as
are only made in Vermont; ten pounds of
super refined maple sugar from Uncle
ZedekiahfJ johnson celebrated orchard,
ten quarts of fresh blackberries In card
board boxes, a package of Aunt Gym
thia's justly famous jelly rolls, bag of
potatoes and a quantity of priceless geo
logical specimens gathered by the young
est male member of the family.
christopher Jewsharp" exclaimed
the stage driver, as he and his two as
sistants struggled to get the trunk up to
its perch; IF ye en- load little un like
that, what'd ye do with q SerrytoggyW
Besides the trunk the returning So
journer brought, of course, a consider
able amount Of hand baggage, which in
cluded besides the children, canary
bird, two tailless cats and bunch of
cat tails-the latter brought by way of
compensation for the missing tails of the
cats, no doubt.

Slow Development.


Not unfrequentlY the dull boy becomes a
great man. Young Walter Scott was low
down in his class--hls teachers did not think
much of him as a scholar; but his schoolmates
clustered about him TO listen 10 his strange
stories. and he became the author OF
"Waverly'' and ''Marmiou." No one should
be called aull until, having had the Oppor-
tunity OF coming 70 the 'front.' he has remained
IN the rear. Hayelock waited thirty wears for
his opportunity-then the march 10 the relief
OF Lucknow showed him to be a great
soldier.
Sir Henry Lawrence did not make rapid
progress at school or college, He was always
asking the reason Of things, and would halt
until he could see the causes Of effects.
The habit OF deliberation prevented him
from running through his textbooks rs
rapidly as did his fellows, but II tended 10
make him the great statesman and the great
soldier whose courage and Judgment helped
to save India to the British crown,
One night In Lord Hardluges camp, Henry
Lawrence turned % his brother John and said
"Do you think we were clever as ladsY ]
don't think we We're"
Both boys were bad in languages, and were
not good IN anything which required techni-
cal memory. But they were excellent In
everything that demanded thought and iudg-
ment. Such lads could not shine at school
marksi they had to walt until their oppor.
tunity came.
Even when Sir Henry bad advanced some
distance in his Indian life, none OF his con.
tempOrarles thought that he would live 10
out-strip them all, The mutiny was the slow.

sECTIOSALIsNI.

Gen. Roger A. Pryor, of New York,
one of the most prominent and successful
of reconstructed Southerneis, says that
nothing would please him better than to
see the Southern States Republican and
the Northern Democratic.
This is of course not to be taken quite
literally, but rather as an indication of a
desired political change locally. just at
this time the country feels that the exis-
tence of such distinct localities as the
North" and 'the South" Is hurtful to
national unity of sentiment. There
should be no North and no South, par.
ticularly no South, as in that is much
that is or has been harmful, while the
North means East, West, North and
Northwest, and doesn't signify much Of
anything, certainly not anything like the
intense personal feeling that seems to
persist in its domination of the South.
The political parties should have their
strongholds scattered ali over the land,
and there is no reason why Alabama and
Mississippi should not give a great Re-
publican majority which nothing could
equal but n great Democratic vote in
Iowa and Pennsylvania. The old cry of
sectionalism is being shouted to-day, but
there is in it tone which means that
party is greater than locality, and that
no section can claim a party's vote on
any other grounds than for the best in
terests of all the people of the section.
The salvation of the Democratic party
depends upon its shaking off the fetters
it has riveted upon itself.

Forty four Miles of Cabs.

London Court journal,
The spectacle OF forty-four odd miles of cab
is enough to make any one shudder, yet that
Is the length to which the London cabs would
extend II they were placed in line. We owe
this interesting calculation 10 Sir Charles
Warren. II caunot be said after this that he
does no good as Chief Commissioner, But we
are also told that there is only standing room
for twenty-three miles Of cabs, 80 that we have
twenty-one miles OF cabs always wandering
about the streets Of London. No wonder
there are numerous complaints about

A New YORK POLICEMAN yesterday
morning found in Central Park heavy
single-barreled pistol and several hand
kerchiefs stained with blood, while the
ground was covered with blood marks.
The police are investigating the mystery,
of course. If it weren't for the blood
stains the conclusion would at once be
reached that Rucker and Blackburn had
had a meeting there.

Mr.. LANGTRY's friend Clarke, in reply
to an inquiry whether Mr.. L. would
grant his wife a divorce for a money
consideration, said: Mr.. Langtry is a
high.minded gentleman and will be a
party to no such arrangement. !"
High-minded" is good. Very good
when we come to think of a man,
willing to stand before the world as the
husband of woman who has for ten
years, more or less, disregarded the
marriage relations In the manner Mrs
Langtry has. A man with any sort of
feelings of manliness would only be too
glad to sever all relations with a woman
who has conducted herself as Mrs. Lang
try has. Whatever Mrs. Langtry is
Mr.. Langtry is so much better, that
public sympathy is being extended to
Mrs. L. because Mr.. L. persists in re.
naming legal member of her family.

The basis of calculation between cause
and chance is to be reckoned, so far as
mathematics can figure out result, upon
data like the following: The rules being,
of course, the recognized mathematical
ones that the chance of the concurrence of
two independent events is the product of
their separate probabilities. We know
there is more or less frequency of recur-
renee than fixed average; then, for or
against the probability, there is some
cause at work. The chance of one or the
other of two phenomena occurring, when
two cannot occur, is the sum of their
different probabilities. For instance: I'm
the fall of $780," says Mr.. ]. w. Ames
Fairmont, Neb, May 81, 1887, my wife
suffered intensely with what the doctors
called sciatic rheumatism, and was help
less. Tried everything to no purpose
She wanted to try st. Jacobs Oil, but the
doctors said no. but I got it, tried it, and
it stopped the pain. She improved, and
No return of pain in seven years" Mr.
w. w. Hall, Adams Express Co., Brook
Ign, N Y, was cured of sciatic rheuma-
tism by st. Jacobs Oil, and writes under
date of May 8, 1887: II am still of the
same opinion of its curative qualities for
sciatic rheumatism
The probability of st. Jacobs Oil curing
every time is reckoned upon known facts
Out of the twenty million bottles sold
not one in ten thousand ever fails to re-
lieye all ailments for which it is specific :;
the chance against the probability is 8,
slight there must be some cause, and the
cause is found to be that it is not properly
applied or not taken in time The chances
are so overwhelmingly in its favor that the
marvellous cures wrought by it are tho
offset to the few eases wherein it fails!
and are proofs that where properly used
it will cure, and never fails.

EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

TIE Waco Examiner reverses its col
umn rules and goes into mourning, but
as its mourning columns embrace two
editorials, one on the German emperor,
deceased, and the other on Mills tariff, a
republican protectionist is left in doubt
as to whom the mourning emblem 10
dedicated. Mills tariff scheme will no
doubt cause most mourning In the demo-
cratic ranks.
THs Waxahachie Enterprise having
waded into Clark's political aspirations"
the Waco Examiner rises to defend the
chairman of the democratic committee
as follows:
"Clark's political aspirations are to
save the democratic party from prohibi-
ton heretics. and namby PANTY fence
strsddlers. His personal ambition is TO
stand at the head Of his profession, he
will succeed 10 both. But no Office hol-
der need have any fears OF bis trying to
snatch the senatorial togs; he don't want
Is. Ii the Examiner has turned aside to
defend Clark, 1t WAS not because he is
our choice for any Office, but because we
do not propose to stand quietly and see
the men who have come to the front and
saved the party, knitted by the prohibit
ton party"
The fight is on in dead earnest and the
democracy Of Texas will find abundant
opportunity to wool each other over
prohibition and tariff.
THE Paris news refers to the recent
action OF the commissioners court Of
that county ia ordering the public
square enclosed. set out with trees, grass
plats, walks and fountains and says:
"The interests Of the city and county
are mutual and reciprocal. Whatever
adds 10 the prosperity OF Paris adds to
the prosperity of the county, and what
ever advances the county adds TO the
prosperity of the city. If this park is
made. ss contemplated, with a hand
some iron fence, shade trees, grassplats,
benches, founts and grayeled walks, it
will be place OF pleasant resort for all,
and will adorn the city and render it
