The Rome Tribune is decidedly against
Chicago as the place for the worlds fair,
and it doesn't believe that Chicago will re-
ceive many southern votes. ''If the vote of
the south is required for that city to get the
fair" it says, ''she will never get it." Most
likely the Tribune is right. The southern
congressman seem to be considerably
divided as to the location of the fair. but if
any one of them has yet come out for Chi
cago, the fact has not been prominently
stated

1entle Savior, as she slumbers
In the stiffness of the nipht

Gentle Savior, as she slumbers
In the stiffness of the night,
Ger her couch pray thee hover,
Guard and keep her with thy might.
Though the darkness round her deepens
AS she gently sinks to rest,
May her trust on thee be fastened,
And no fears disturb her breast;
May her dreams be bright and happy:
Visions let thy angels show;
Bless her heart with love and gladneSs;
Let her life no sorrow know.
In this world of pain and danger
Let thy hand fathers be:
Strew her path with fairest flowers;
Fill her soul with peace in thee;
While upon this world sojourning
From thy joyous realms above
Be thou with her, near her ever,
With thy tender, careful love.
When the sun with golden flooding
Wakes the morn from clouds of gray,
Ger her path pray thee hover;
Guard and keep her through the day.

Senator Quay will have to discipline the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The Dispatch is a re-
publican newspaper, but 1t isn't pleased
with the idea of abolishing the internal
revenue taxes as means of reducing toe
surplus. 1t thinks that whisky and tobacco
are luxuries, and that the taxes on the nee
essarles of life should be reduced first. This
is good democratic doctrine, and it is the
doctrine that was preached by the Chicago
Tribune few years ago. but the Tribune
seems to have been whipped into the repub-
lican line on that issue.

MIR. Davis Projected Book

MIR. Jefferson Davis is recovering from
his present illness. 1t is to be hoped that
his health will permit him to carry out a
work which he has in view. 1t has been
intimated several times lately that he would
write a book giving the secret history of
the late southern confederacy, and the
other day gentleman who has been a fire.
quent visitor to Beauvoir said that such q
book would have been on the market by
this time but for an unfortunate circum-
stance. Mr. Davis had engaged Col. Thomas
Scharf. of Baltimore, to write it at his die
tation, but some remarks made by Col.
Scharf on his return to Baltimore led to the
cancellation Of the contract. It is still Mr.
Davis purpose to write the book, however.
if his health permits.
Mr.. Davis has always protested that the
story of the war has not received fair treat
ment from historians and that even the
southern historians were not fully informed
on the subject. No doubt he is right. and
it is true also that he is better qualified
than any one else to write a history that
will put the south in the proper light. He
has @ mass of documents pertaining to the
confederacy from which he could prepare
an inside history of the war that would
be valuable contribution to that kind of
literature It is true that in the event of
his death literary executor of Judgment
might dive into that sea of papers and get
from it most of the historical pearls which
it contains, but under Mr.. Davis direction
the work would be complete, and it would
present him in his legitimate position in
history.

Mr.. Calvin a Candidate.

Mr. Martin Calvin, of Augusta, who has
represented Richmond county very salts
factorily in the legislature for number of
years, is a candidate for the democratic
nomination for commissioner of agricul-
ture. This office was made an elective one
at the last session of the legislature.
Mr. Calvin takes deep interest in every
thing that relates to agriculture. or tends
70 advance the prosperity of the farm ers
He was a very earnest advocate of the
measure which authorized the farmers to
select the location for the experimental
farm. He is the author Of the farmers
institute act, and also the agricultural
statistics act. His activity in behalf Of
these measures shows that he is fully alive
TO the needs Of farmers
Mr.. Calvin has been living on his farm
and devoting his time to agricultural pur-
suits during the last ten years. That he has
excellent business ability is well known.
There will be several candidates, doubt
less, for the nomination which Mr.. Calvin
seeks. Mr.. Henderson, the present COM
missioner Of agriculture, it is understood.
will be one Of them. He has already held
the Office for quite long time He was, of
course, appointed. 1t is for the people now
to say whom they want for commissioner.

Congressman Elijah A. Morse, of Massa-
chusetts, denies that he wrote letters TO Mr..
Reed, MIR. Mckinley, and all of the other
candidates for the speakeship. offering to
vote forsthem, and designating the com
mittees upon which he would like to serve.
He ascr1bes the story to ''the saloon inter

flying, sIanderfng and rnisrepresenting"

charge, but the probability is that he isn't.
But, at the same time, whether is or not,
it is useless for him to protest his innocence.
The mentionof his name will always sug-
gest the story of the various pledges, just as
the mention of the name of Congressman
Martin, Of Texas, suggests that of his
alleged act of blowing out the gas the first
night he slept in Washington. Already the
Boston Globe has started it on its travels
again by saying: 1--WE accept Mr. Morse's
statement, but We advise him not to do so
any more.r

that each member is paid by the people 10
cents mile each way for his trip to and

him more than 3 cents mile, and he should
not accept free pass. This is not by any
means the first time q Georgia newspaper

them for railroad fare, and it will not be

Ex-Minister Pendleton, who died in Brus-

father of the civil service law. During
his congressional career his name be-
came very intimately conn ected with that
measure. Another measure in which he
was greatly interested was that to give cab
met officers seat on the floor of the House.
He couldn't get his brother members to
look with favor upon it, however, and
probably it is very well that he couldn't,

to be statesmen, would probably be found
to be very small potatoes, so to speak, in the

Anthony Comstock has served notice upon
A. b. de Frece, manager of the German hos

stretched out like those of a man who has fin

Monday Capt. Grunner. from the 67th-street
station-house, came to me and said that the
officers of Mr.. Comstock's society had made
complaint to him on account OF that frivolous

THE CURIOUS BELIEF ABOUT DROWNED BODIES
DISCOVERED By MEANS OF BREAD.
From Notes and Queries
Among beliefs current among sailors in our
own country is the notion that it is unlucky to
turn loaf upside down after helping oneself
from it, the idea being that for every loaf so
turneda ship will be wrecked 1t is also said
that if loaf parts in the hand while being cut.
1t bodies dlssensions i'll the familv-the separl-
ton OF husband and wife. Again. it has long
| been widespread belief that the whereabouts
OF drowned body may be ascertained by
noatlng loaf OF bread down a stream, when It
will stop over the spot where the body is
curious account of body thus recovered
near Hull appeared some years back in the
Gentlcman's Magazine. after diligent search
had been made IN the river for the child, to no
purpose. two-penny loaf. with a quantity of
quicksilver put into il, was set floating from
the place where the child was supposed. to
have fallen in. which steered its course down
/ the river upward of half mile. when the
body happening to lie on the contrary side of
the river. the loaf suddenly tacKed about and
swan across the river, and gradually sank near
the child. when both the child and the loaf
we're brought up with the grapplers ready for
the purpose"
4 correspondent of Notes aud Queries main
talns that 1t is a scientific fact that loaf and
quicksilver indicates the position of the BODY
a. the weighted loaf is carried by the current
just as the body is. This practice, too prevails
on the continent; and in Germany the name of
the drowned person is inscribed Oh the piece
OF bread; while in France loaves consecrated
TO st. Nicholas, with lighted wax taper in
them, have generally been employed for that
purpose.

A Pension for Mrs. Waite.

THE SENATE VOTES FOR IT-PROPOsED PENSION
FCR MRS. JUDGE SERRICK RULED OUT.
There was a lengthy and is>~sresting discus
sion IN the Senate late yesterday afternoon on
the amendment to the sundry ci,il bill appro-
priating 9S.745 to be paid to the widow of the
late Chief Justice Waite. The sum is the
balance of one years salary. Mr. German
declared himself 20 be strongly opposed to any
such appropriation. The system proposed
was vicious one. He referred to the death Of
Judge Mcrric6 and to the effort being made to
have Congress pay MS widow rs il was now
proposed 70 pay Mrs. Waite. He was
OPPOSED To A CIVIL PENSION LIST.
Mr.. Edmuuds claimed that the case of Chief
Justice Waite and MS widow was peculiar and
unique. The chief justice remained in Office
Tor two years after he was entitled to retire
ment thus saving TO the country S2l 900; he
was also entitled 10 a clerk at an annual salary
OF 5000, but he did the work himself and
saved the country that sum every year. He
rendered faithful service. and the tribute pro-
posed was only simple justice.
1ir. Eydrts supported Mr.. Edmunds' views.
and so did Ny. Voorhees,, the latter Senator
saying that there was no danger of an over
hberallty TO a pure and upright Judiciary.
JUDGE NEERICK's WIDOW.
Mr.. Berry opposed the amendment. and then
Mr. Voorhees, offered an amendment to be
added 10 tine Waite amendment. the addition

Forty Years OF Dread.

From the New York Evening Sun.
What a life that was which Joshua Granger
led for forty years in the quiet village Of Putt
NEVILLE, Wayne county, of this stated During
all that period he stood in daily dread of dis
covery which would blast his life and break
the heart of the innocent. What comfort
could there have been in wearing this mask
Forty years ago or more Joshua Granger de-
serted his wife and family in West Virginia
then Virginia, town, and settled in the inte-
rior OF this state. 1t seemed to the fugitive
like another world. He thought himself
secure from pursuit or detection, and so cast
ing on his past as a snake does its skin, he
remarked, and on the death of his wife mar
ried again, identifying himself meanwhile
with the community until he became
one OF its leading and most respected citizens.
Yet that guilty secret did not die. He knew
who he was, and that knowledge made him alert
to rumor, timid, sly. He was always expecting to
see face or hear whisper that would destroy
him, and at last the furies tracked him down.
A few days ago the postmistress at Pultney-
vile casually mentioned to him that she had
recently been asked by a correspondent in a
certain West Virginia town if a man named
Joshua Granger lived there. It was enough.
His sin had found him out. And the next day
Joshua Granger disappeared from Pultney-
vile and is once more in his old age a nameless
fugitive. Here is a theme for those American
novelists who lament that all the stories are
