At O. RaadiuO

Thomas Bailey Aidrich in Hdrper's.
The spare professor, grave and bald,
Began his paper. IL was called,
think, "A Brief Historic Glance
At Russia, Germany and France"
A glance, but to my best belief
Twas almost anything but brief
A wide survey, in which the earth
Was seen before mankind had birth;
Strange monsters basked them in the sun,
Behemoth, armored glyptodon,
And in the dawn's unpractised ray
The transient dodo winged its way;
Then, by degrees, through slit and slough,
We reached Berlin-I don't know how.
The good professors monotone
Had turned me into senseIess stone
Instanter, but that near me sat
Hypatia In her new spring hat.
Blue-eyed, intent, with lips whose bloom
Lighted the heavy curtained room
Hypatia-ah. what lovely tdings
Are fashioned out OF eighteen springs
At first, in sums OF this amount,
The eighteen winters do not count.
Just as my eyes were growing dim
With heaviness, / saw that slim,
Erect, elastic figure there,
Like a pond-lily taking air
She looked so fresh, so wise, so neat,
So altogether crisp and sweet.
quite forgot what Bismarck said
And why the emperor shook his head,
And how II was Won Motlke's frown
Cost France another frontier town.
The only facts took away
From the Professors theme that day
Were these: A forehead broad and low,
Such as the antique sculptures show;
A chin TO Greek perfection true;
Eyes OF Astarte's tender blue;
A high complexion without fieck
Or haw, and curls about her neck.

Dan said Elijah, the private secretary of
the Presidentelect, as the New York Tribune
relates the incident, you don't bear me any
hard feaiiugs, do you, because I'm booked for
your of1ice:"
BLESS your SOUL no. Elijah, replied the prl-
vate secretary of the President-asis; land per
init me to say that | sincerely hope you regem-
BILE your namesake OF another age, who, in
an emergency. was fed by the ravens"
We'll can't say whether or not / resemble
him. do you argue Dan, from the circum-
stance that the earlier Eli jah was once fed by the
ravens"
Il argue" explained Dan, that ne was one
of those rare men that never got left"
Good and thank you heartily for your good
wishes, Dan. We all know, colonel. that you
are very like famous namesake of yours of
another age"
Referring to whom?" inquired the colonel,
blush spffuslng his face.
Referring, of course, to the Daniel who was
thrown into the lions den
And how in the world, Elijah, do you con-
meet me with him?"
We'll, you see, " remarked Elijah, bowling low
to Daniel, lit hasn't spoiled you at all to be
lionized."
Then the two private secretaries gave each
other a fond, non partisan embrace and resumed
their respective duties.

Quack Watch Doctors,
A Veteran Matchmaker in the Je,oeiers

A veteran Matchmaker IN the Jet0eiers'
Journal.
sometimes compare a watch with the human
body. 1t is just as sensitive as the most deli
cate child, and needs more care and protection
than it ever receives. 1t is affected by climatic
influences, ard its vitas are just liable to de-
rAngement as those of our bodies. Its heart
beats govern its acton, and It's hands and face
tell its condition at all times
II were TO classify the diseases of watches,
should say That the one where the works are
clogged with dirt and the oil has become stiff is
analogous to our hiliouSneSs. This is the NEST
com uon complaint we watch doctors find, and
unless the owner of the watch makes il rule
TO take 1t to q reputable store, be will probably
be victimiaed, just as human patients are when
they consult quacb doctors.
Dishonest watchmakers will not hesitate to
pronounce watch dirty even when it is not SO,
and have known cases where this has been
done directly after a watch had been cleaned
by another matchmaker. They act on the same
principle as the qulck doctor, who always pre-
scribeS for the patient, even if he has to give
sugar and water, or bread pill, and the qiack
matchmaker regularly pr 1scribes for the watch
brought him, even il it only needs winding

More than two years ago committee
was appointed in Brooklyn to consider the
advisability of teaching sewing to girls in
the public schools of that city. The COM
mttee was not in hurry, but acted DELHI
erately, considering the question from va
rious standpoints. Then it reported that
sewing ought to be taught, and at recent
meeting the board Of education adopted the
report by majority of one. Instruction
will not be compulsory, but classes will be
formed and will meet on Saturday after
moons. The idea is worth being considered
by other cities. There are entirely too many
women in this country who can't make
decent looking garment of any kind.

Another good bill which the Georgia
legislature ought to pass is that of Senator
johnson to increase the governors salary
to 5000. 1t is high time for Georgia to
drop her parsimonious policy with regard
to some of her public servants. The state
hasn't more money than it knows what to
do with, but it has enough to rescue it from
the stigma of being niggardly.

The Baltimore san brings an array of figures
to show that in the states where campaign
funds were not potent factors the tariff issue
gained votes for Cleveland-even in Pennsyl
wanna In that state the official vote for Cleve-
land IN 1883 was 81. 1s9 81 eater than in 1884 a
gain of over 135 per cent. while Barrisons
vote was but 81 4I9,greater than Blaines, gain
OF but LITTLE over II per cent. The same story is
told by the results in New Hampshire, Rhode
Island. Ohio and other states where Doodle was
not necessary to secure a republican majority.

A Sensible Suggestion.

From TIE PHILADELPHIA Record DEM.
It would be a good rule to admit no territory
into the Union as state without sufficient popu-
latioa to entltle it to two members of the House
OF Representatives. States with two senator's
and one member of the House are top heavy,
politically speaking. They give undue weight
OF political power to that branch of the national
legislature which is furthest from the people.

The republicans, led by Chairman Quay,
are creating big noise over alleged at
tempts of democrats to steal congressman.
The Baltimore Sun throws light on the sub
ject, as follows: There is a shrewd sur
mise that all this buster and parade on the
part of the republican managers is in the
line of an attemrt to cover up the Shiny
tracks by which they achieved the Presi-
Dental victory. They may well be uneasy
at the prospect of the unearthirg of their
rep, ehensible methods. The simulated
attack upon the integrity of the choice of
electors in Virginia may be regarded in
some degree as another effort to divert at
tention. 1t has been confessed again by
those who are at the bottom OF the Virginia
movement that there is no expectation of
preventing the vote of the state going to
Cleveland, and that other motives of an
entirely different character were the in
spiration." Notwithstanding such tactics,
the republican frauds are very likely to be
exposed

The newspapers have told us that the
min eral and manufacturing industries of

agricultural interests, says; 1.-THE south

large corn and cotton crops in succession,
and this means greater agricultural pros
perity and more surplus money for invest
ment Many millions Of dollars that for
merly went west for corn and bacon are
now saved to the south by increased home
production" That's grand, glorious. With
mineral beds giving up their treasures,
spindles humming, cribs cracking with corn
made on southern land, and pens full of
home-raised hogs, the south can kiss her
hand to the north as a signal for a race
for prosperity.

laarrlson,s Southern Policy.

Southern editors who have written to
Gen. Harrison asking him to outline his
southern policy, have not received salts
factory answers Gen. Harrison has told
them that he has not yet made up his mind
with respect to any matter of Importance
with which he will have to deal, as Presi-
dent, for the reason that he has not had
time TO do SO. This is about all that it
could reasonably be expected Gen Harrison
would say.
In letter to gentleman in Greenvile
S, c., published in our dispatches this morn
ing, he intimates that those who think he
is unfriendly to the south are mistaken.
He also says that he believes that the poll
cies of the Republican party on all the lead
ing issues before the country are for the
best interests of the south.
OF course expressions like these mean
nothing more than that the President elect
is republican, and believes in the princi-
pies of his party. They do not touch the
points, however, concerning which the
southern people are anxious.
Gen. Harrson's friends say that Mr..
Lafollette, the superintendent of public
Harrison's purposes with respect to the
south than any other man, because he has
talked with him frequently on southern
affairs. In an interview day or two ago,
Mr.. Lafollette said "Gen. Harrison has
made up his mind on two points SO far as
the south is concerned. He will not allow
imported northern carpetbag politicians to
hold office down there and usurp the rights
of citizens; second, he will not appoint to
Office ignorant negroes or ignorant white
people simply because they vote the re-
publican ticket. While his policy will not
be Of the milk and water sort, such as
Hayes was, it will be fair, and, / predict,
highly satisfactory to the south" Mr..
Lafollette further intimated that a good
many protection democrats would be APP
pointed to Off in the south with the hope
of building up Republican party in this
section that would be respected. He may
be right in his Interpretation Of Gen. Har-
rlson's purposes, but the south will not be
wholly satisfied until Gen. Harrison him
self indicates the line he intends to pursue
in making southern appointments.
