What Might Happen.
Baltimore Herald.

Now that the Hay Fever association is
about to meet in New England, we shall
soon expect to hear of the organization
of a mumps and measles convention in
the South. We are inclined to this con-
clusiOn for the reason that we have re-
Gently noticed signs of great activity in
the Southern states, and indications of
an apparent determination on the part of
that section of the Union not to be out
done by any other section.
1t is true that this spirit of rivalry has
been chiefly confined to certain channels
of national industry, such rs iron and
lumber, but we see nothing to prevent its
extension to pathological issues. Should
Tennessee, for instance, launch forth a
mumps and measles convention in re
Spouse to New Hampshire hay fever
association we should not be surprised
to shortly hear of govt and rheumatism
society in Boston, and this TO be fol-
lowed, probably, By a yellow fever con-
vention Qimited) in New Orleans.
If an impetus were once gwen to this
sort of competition, there is no telling to
what serious and absurd limits it might
reach. Soon the West would come for
ward with an Influenza and Bronchitis
corporation, ana IN all HkelhOOdy the
Pacific slope would retaliate by the
prompt formation of the Consolidated
Sciatica and Neuralgia company. If the
rage for this sort of discussion should un-
fortunately spread, after the manner in
dictated, no doubt the entire country
would soon be involved, and there would
be no end to the organization
of societies devoted 10 the
discussion and suppression of the var
ious ellis that, human flesh is heir TO. -
There would be headache and backache
associations, lumbago societies, femi-
nine hYsteria tea parties and sore toe
clubs without number and the entire
nation would be permeated with the
spirit OF most novel, unique and
hitherto unparalleled discussion. Let US
hope, however, that no such results as
we have dimly foreshadowed will fol-

trude and Daisy boast no talents, but
are vivacious, perfectly formed, fine
dancers and possess more even and low
able dispositions than is accorded their
famous sister.
Mrs. Stephen Danforth, of Manchester
by-the-Sea is another victim of the to-
bacco habit. She learned to smoke in
Virginia, where she was born, and though
she does her own work and looks after
her husband, who is old and inffrm, she
is rarely without a lighted pipe in her
mouth. She smokes twelve pipefuls
daily. Mrs. Danforth will be ninety
seven years old on her next birthday.
Speaking of the wife of the president
of France, a correspondent says: Nine.
Carnot is of medium height, olive COM
plexion, Roman features. Her carriage
has possibly a suggestion of self con-
seriousness, which may be wholly due to
her intensity of eye-an intensity at once
TO be explained by her deafness. She
spends her morning habitually in the.
privacy OF domestic duties. She looks
personally after the education of her
children. She speaks English with the
English gOverness, Italian with the
Italian. She reads the best literature IN
the hours of seclusion with her husband
and friends, and is as we'll informed as
he about everything that is going on in
the world.
The new Chinese minister will be ac-
colnpanied by his wife and family, which
will be the first instance wherein wO-
man of high caste has been permitted to
accompany her husband outside of the
Celestial kingdom. The strict surveil-
lance which is there exercised over wives
viii be followed in this case, for immedi-
ately upon the arrival Of the new minis
ter with his family they will drive. in
closed carriage TO the legation, where
madame will be at once Installed in the,
suite of apartments assigned for her Ocu-
paucy. With one exception, when the
members of the new legation will be
formally pres ented to the mistress of the
household Il few days after her arrival,
she viii not at any time see visitors or be
seen by company. The minister will
take his wife to dine occasionally, when
her health demands such exercise; but,
instead of permitting her to take part.in
any social duties, the legation will be
conducted in all respects as bachelor
establishment.

He Fooled with the Wrong Flood.


Corp. Tanner has been in peril Of his
office before now; but never before has
his danger been so imminent. In one of
Tanners confidential moments, while on
his way to the Grand Army encampment,
Representative Flood, of the Elmira On.
Y district, CHANGED to come under the
weight of the corporal's comment, and
was disposed of with the remark that if
his (FIood 's) brains should be blown into
a mosquito s eye the insect wouldn t be
hurt at all. This stirred up Flood, who
is also a veteran soldier and a fighter,
and ne lost no time in hustling to Wash
ington and notifying the administration
that either Tanner must 90 or he himself
would resign, leaving the vacancy to be
filed by a new election.
Now, Flood was elected by a scratch,
the district being strongly Democratic,
and another election would probably re-
suit in cutting down to still narrower
proportions the Republican majority in
the next house. Until Flood shall be
paciffed Tanner will stand in a perilOus
predicament.

low the meeting of the Hay Fever as
ISOLATION. The hay fever is q part
and parcel of New England. 1t
was brought over in the May
flower, and the day after landing it set
up business on Plymouth Rock. 1t has
been industriously at work ever since,
and since the late Mr.. Beecher so elo-
quently apostrophised it as an aristOorat-
&c ailment it has been regarded more as
a fashionable diversion than as disease.
Perhaps the rest Of the country will be
content TO let New Englanders enjoy
their hay fever and its discussion among
themselves, while it gives its attention
to other important lines of industry.

MUST TIKI. NEGRO NOVE9

The remark by Senator Hampton of South
Carolina to the effect that the South could well
afford 10 have the negroes emigrate to some other
part of the country is warmly approved IN the
South. Thus the Charleston News and Courier
says: 1.-THE wise course, alike for the white
people and the colored people Of the South, IS
for them 30 separate and move apart as soon as
it is practicable. The country is large enough
for the colored people to make their homes
in some part Of its UnOccupied territory
where they can acquire land and establish
themselves in communities of their own, IN
der their own local government, and where
they can develop all the powers they have and
exercise al the rights and privileges Of Ameri-
can citizenship without challenge And The
Birmingham Age Herald remarks: ITO one who
looks beyond the present and its immediate
necessities there is nothing more evident than
that the good of the country demands
the separation of the races. For fifty
years the negro has been q disturbing factor
in national politics. He win continue to be
such as long as he occupies the same territory
with the white man The two races viii never
amalgamate-no one thinks it desirable that they
shoUld-and so long at they live together there
viii he contention for political supremacy, and
o social parallel cannot be maintained without
repeated conflicts and disturbances
This is queer talk As the negro is not respon-
sibie for being IN the South, it would seem to be
fair to let him live there if ne wants to.-lNew
Haven Journal and Courier.
Are the white people Of the South any
more responsible for the negro s pres
ence here than the black people? The
responsibility began, as much as any
where else, III Yankee greed, and
had the negro been able to propagate
himself as proGtably in Connecticut as in
Virginia, there would have been no war,
no eman cipation, no Republican party to
fire the Northern heart Icy Outrages and
race trouJles resulting from Republican
hypocrisy and cant. This is essentially
white man : government, and the white
men Of the North are equally interested
with the white men of the South in solv-
ing this negro question on that basis,
as they are equally responsible for the
negro 3 presence in this country and for
making him perplexing factor in our civ
ilization The Connecticut paper knows as
wei as Southern papers know that this is
and always VIII he white man s gov
erument, ard one proof Of it is that in
no Northern state has a negro ever been
elected to any state or Federal office; in
no Northern state do hotels, restaurants,
sleeping coaches, theaters, watering
places or churches show any more desire
for negro equality than is shown in the
South, ana IN no Northern state is there
oue-teuth the consideration for the negro
as an individual that is daily exhibited
by the white people OF the South towards
their black ueiGhboTs.
1t would be better for the South, better
for the North and better for the negro if
the black population Of the country
could be equally distributed throughout
its borders.

Mr.. Jake Mutt brought twenty BUSH
els of mustang grapes to town on Thurs
day of last week, and sold them to w.
T. Sellars at % cents a bushel. He
gathered four barrels of grapes off of
one vine, about sixteen bushels. Mr..
Sellars says If a blind man can see
money in mustang grapes, then certainly
q man with two good eyes ought to do so.
Mr.. Mutt got So for his grapes, from
which Mr.. Sellars says he will realize
SIS If he has no bad luck. He says he
could pay 81 bushel for the entire grape
crop of the country and make money out
of it.

An Ingenious Theory.

Mr.. Edwin Reed has put forth little
book in which he deals with the temper
ance question in a rather novel way. He
denies that the craving for stimulants is
an instinct, as has been claimed, or that
there is a ''nervous' belt of country in
which it chiefly arises. He thinks it
comes from the lack of proper nOuTish-
ment by adequate food. He states that
in the nations where intemperance most
f1ourishes the people live in a state of
semi-starvation. There is strug-
gle for food throughout the
intempe rate belt of territory. In
stances of deprivation and stats
tics are presented that are appalliHg =
The main proof that intempeTenoe Is
result of this, rather than starvatioE thse
result of intemperance, is found ia the
fact that intemperance exists just irSpTo-
portion as the difficulty of obtaining 1ned
exists. In the tropics there is cheapS ad
abundant food and little intempeRkhce ).
AS habitation Tecedes from the tropsEs the
difficulty of getting living increases tsllls
intemperauce increases with it. In the
one locality the poorer class of the popu-
latiOn are able to reach that standard of
living consistent with the maintenance of
the mental and bodily powers in
full natural vlgor. In the other they
are compelled to the lowest standard of
living which man can endure without
fatal consequences. Baron Liebig "a,
quoted in this connection as saving .
cit is an exception to the rule when a
well-fed man becomes a spirit drinker -
This is interesting and ingenious, but
there is much that can be said against
the theory. 1t is probable that poor aud
insufficient food does tend to increase in
temperance, but how much general good
feeding would decrease it is a very doubt
full matter. rsssss.lss,
