General Horace Pcrter's very inter-
esting article on Railway Passenger
Travel, " in Scribner's for September,
discusses the development Of railway
travel in most entertaining style.
He regards the yestibule train as the
highest point reached in securing the
perfection Of comfort and safety to the
passenger. After detailing the pro-
gressive steps by which the vestibule
was reached, he says /:
",This invention, which was patsnt-
ed in 1887, succeeded not only in sup
plying the means Of constructing
perfectly enclosed vestibule of hand
some architectural appearance between
the cars, but it accomplished what is
even still more important, the intro
duction of a safety appliance more
valuable than any yet devised for the
protection to human life in case of
collisions. The elastic diaphragms,
which are attached to the ends Of the
cars, have steel frames, the faces or
bearing surfaces of which are placed
firmly against each other by powerful
spiral springs, which create friction
upon the faces of the frame, hold them
firmly in position, prevent the oscilla-
tion Of the cars, and furnish buffer
extending from the platform to the
roof, which precludes the possibility
of one platform riding the other,
and producing telescoping in case of
collision. The first Of the vestibuled
trains went into service on the Penn
sylvania Railroad in June, 1886, and
they are rapidly being adopted by rail-
way companies. The. vestibuled limi-
ted trains contain several sleeping
cars, dining car, and car fitted up
with smoking saloon, a library with
books, desks, and writing materials,
q bathroom, and barber shop.
With free circulation of air through |
out the train, the cars opening into |
each other, the electric light, the many |
other increased comforts and conven-
fences introduced, the steam-heatiDg |
avoiding the necessity of |
using fires, the fast speed, and the
absence of stops at meal stations, this
train is the acme of safe and luxurious
travel. An ordinary passenger travels
in as princely style in these cars as
any crowned head in Europe in a
royal special train. ."-Scribner's for
September.

savannah,s Public schools.

The spring examinations of the public
schools of this city occurred yesterday, and
very interesting examinations they were.
The school rooms were bright with flowers,
and the children presented a very attractive
appearance. The number of absentees
was SO small as to be scarcely noticeable.
Both teachers and scholars were in excel
lent humor, and showed deep interest in
the proceedings. The parents of some Of
the children were present, but the number
of them was not as large as
it should have been. OF course
the presence of parents at the examinations
would not increase the attendance in the
schools, but it would be beneficial in other
ways. 1t would encourage the teachers by
showing them that their work is appre-
Ciated, and it would tend to strengthen the
hold Of the schools upon the public, because
those who patronize them would see how
admirable the system is upon which they
are conducted, and how great the benefits
are which flow from them. The more fully
the taxpayers understand the advantages
of the schools and the work they are doing,
the more willing will they be TO contribute
literally to their support.
There is another reason why parents
should visit the schools 1t is that they
should become acquainted with those who
have the direction of the education of their
children, and see for themselves how neces-
sary it is for them to give their children
good training at home, and assist them in
every possible way they can in the prepara-
ton Of their lessons. Children who are
carefully trained in department and have
the sympathy and assistance of their
parents at home, make the most progress
and get along with the least friction in
school. Parents who visit the schools take
more interest, az a rule, in the education
of their children than those who do not.
The Improvement which has been made
in the public schools of this city is remark
able. 1t is "a source of pleasure and pride
to those who have had the direction of
them, and should be appreciated by every
citizen who has children to educate, or who
feels an interest in whatever adds to the
honor and glory of the city.
Children Of from 10 to t. years OF age, of
the pre- .ent time, have as much knowledge
of the kind obtained from text books as
those of from 10 to II possessed a quarter
of century ago. The reason is that
improved methods of instruction have been
introduced, the text books are better, and
the teachers have a clearer and larger I'M
Outstanding of their duties.
Savannah has reason to be satisfied with
her public schools. They compare favor
ably with those of any other city in the
country. Those who graduate from them
are as well fitted for the duties of life as
those educated in private schools of the
same grade.

Editor Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier-TomndI, recently saw a statement
that young man had been poisoned as
result of kissing his best girl, whose cheeks
were colored with cosmetics. After ex.
pressing his contempt for young man who
would kiss his girl on the check, and for a
young lady who would use cosmetics, Editor
Watterson concluded he could turn the
statement into "A very neat plea for immi-
grafton to Kentucky. Said he: 1--WE in
vite such of our Northern contemporaries
as are dissatisfied with the compilations of
their girls to come out TO kentucky, where
the roses of our swcothearts' cheeks are
perennial boomers, always warranted to
wash; and, paradoxical as it may sound,
while their tints cannot be extracted albeit
they somehow rush over him whose lips
come in contact with them as though they
were whole summer rainbow twining
about him and making n maypole of his
spinal column--a rainbow, in sooth, one
end Of which rests in the gardens of the
Hespcridcs and the other in a jug Of sugar
house molasses." Everything seems to sug
gest Southern immigration those days.
Kentucky ought to get at least 10, 900 immi-
grants as the result of the above unique bit
of word painting.

The FURRY in Florida.

The little furry in two or three localities
in Florida, that was caused by the publica-
ton of an extract from Surgeon General
Hamilton's report, has about subsidized.
Although it was not stated in the extract
that there was yellow fever in any place in
Florida, it was stated that the inspection
showed the recent existence of the disease
in the localities that were named Those
who made the report were undoubtedly
mistaken with regard to all places except
Plant City, and it is by no means certain
that the fever that, until lately, has been
prevailing there, was yellow fever. The
NEWS, who was at Tampa day or two
ago, furnishes very satisfactory report of
the sanitary condition of that place and
of Ybor City. He gives the statement
of a Tampa physician that that town was
never healthier than at present. The peo-
pie there have entirely recovered from the
depressing effects of the epidemic of last
season, and are making improvements with
renewed energy, and with entire confidence
that their city has great future.
A statement which we published yester-
day, and which was made on the authority
of all the physicians Of Barlow, shows that
there has been no yellow fever in that town,
nor in the county in which it is situated
1t is difficult to understand, therefore, how
a statement could have got into the Sur
geon Generals report, which does that
town such great injustice. Tho citizens of
Barlow ought to ask the Surgeon General
for his authority for the statement he sent
out affecting their town. They ought to do
this not only for the purpose of finding out
how the uni Just report originated, but, also,
to impress upon the Surgeon General
the necessity for exercising the
greatest care in sending out reports, that
may, if incorrect, do great deal of harm,
respecting the existence cf infectious or
contagious diseases at any place. From all
accounts the health outlook in Florida is
very gratifying one, and there is no doubt
that the desire that 1t shall continue to be
so is very general

BLACKMAIL IN BOSTON.
Experience ola Gentleman Who "Came

DO"a 1hA wv OoH
Providence Journal Boston Letter.
There have been recently-indeedli when is
there not?-some cases of attempted blackmail
here, and apropos the following story was re-
Gently told. gentleman who was staying at
a hotel in Saratoga was one morning passing
down a corridor wl,' EEL from his room, when
lady who stood D. : IOr Of her room &C
costed him:
~ beg your pardon a..e sail, but can you
tell me the timer"
He looked at her and judged her to be re-
spectacle and inoffensive person.
1T is 1880 he replied, consulting his watch
The woman turned back into her chamber,
but instantly wheeled about again.
q am very sorry to trouble you" she said,
but my clock is stopped, and l do not know
how to set it. have an important engagement
IN about an hour. and shall be extremely OBJ
iged if you will set it for me-"
The gentleman kindly and rashy acceded to
her request and stepped into the chamber. On
the mantel stood an ordinary travelling clock
He went up tot t. took out his watch again, and
laid it the shelf while he proceeded to set the
clock The lady followed him and picked up
the time piece.
What beautiful watch, " she said
Yes he answered, turning away from the
clock ut is an heirloom"
81 think" the woman observed, that will
keep this watch"
And as she spoke she showed him in the other
hand the key of the door, which she had noise
lessly closed and locked. He looked at her a
moment in silence.
Very well, " he said, holding out his hand for
the key.
She tucked the watch into the bosom of her
gown and gave HIM the key, smiling serenely
He opened the door and then turned back.
Upon second thought" he said, with I'M
ru1ied GOODNESS, a think will redeem the
watch. 1t is an heirloom, and am fond of it.
"IesY' she responded.
81 will give you $50 for it, he said, taking
out his pocketbook
Very we'll" replied the adventures, pro-
ducng the watch.
He gave her the money took the watch, and
departed poorer, but possibly wiser man.
Whe nthS tale was rected at the club the gen
tleman who told it related it as an adventure
which had befallen friend of his. When he
ended some one asked:
But why in the name of common sense
didn't he ring the bell or kick up a row."
He knew BETTER" responded the narrator,
with a smile He was locked alone into a
chamber with daring and abandoned woman,
who would have fought to the last gasp. 1t
was worth more than $50 to him to escape the
scandal"
THAT is all very WELL" observed another
clubman; but if he had looked the baggage
in the face and calmly calculated oh rats
she would have come down quickly enough"
Which may be true. am not an expert ia
such matters, but it does on the whole seem
probable that most men who get blackmaiIed
are either victims of foolish cowardice OF are
conscious that there is that In their past records
which makes it wise for them to avoid investiga-
ton.
