HIGH OFFICIALS EMBARRASSED
President and Secretary OF State the
Victims of circumstances.
fPhiIa dainhin Enouir.r1

Philadelphia Enquirer.
There Is a story of Presidential ex.
cursion down to the eastern shore OF
Maryland. The party embraced Secre-
taries Blaine and Window and Others.
They went to church and were fortu-
nate enough TO hesr an excellent SER
mon from the venerable Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Maryland, who
was there to administer the right OF
confirmation. It was rare pleasure TO
listen to q discourse from clergyman
who did not improve the occasion by
referring to those high In authority or
by preaching or praying at them. The
President and the two secretaries, one
on either side of him, sat in quiet satis-
faction. But their peace of mind was
suddenly and rudely dispelled. The
offertOry was sung. At the familiar
words: .... ...
Let yonr light SO shine before men, &c,
the President and the Secretaries each
quietly dropped hand into pocket.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth.
Window drew forth crisp one-dol-
lar note and held it between thumb and
fore-finger, ready for the approaching
plate. The President and Mr.. Blaine
went a little deeper into their pockets.
One brought up nickel and the other
dime. Their faces flushed. 1t would
never do to make such a small contri-
button.
lie that soweth little shalrea little and he that
soweth plenteously shall reap plenteOusly. =
God loveth cheerful gver.
The President went to his pocketbook
and the Secretary of State explored his
vest pocket with nervous fingers.
Zsccheus stood forth and said unto the Lord: Be-
hold. Lord, the hall of my goods give TO the poor,
and II have done wrong to any man restore four
fold.
The plate was only four pews away.
What the President found in his pock-
etbook was one fifty-dollar note and a
ten-dOllar Notwithstanding smaller.
What Mr.. Blaine found was two ten
dollar nOtes-n0thing smaller. To put
in a nickel or a dime only was not to
be thought of. To give $40 was more
than either cared to do; besides, how
Ostentatious it would look! Each looked
at Window, sitting there calmly, the
richest OF the party, with his dollar
note in hand. He shook his head.
Charge them who are rich in this world, that the,
be ready to give and glad to contribute.
There was no time for further pocket
exploration or consideration. With g
smile of commiseratiOn at each other
and something like goulish glee OF
Windom's placid countenance, the
President and Secretary of State eacl
planked down his ten-dOllar note fol

Wise Head on Young Shoulders.

One of our Sunday school teachers on
a recent occasion told her pupils that
when they put their pennies in the con-
tribution box she wanted each to repeat
q Bible verse suitable for the occasion.
The first boy dropped in a cent, saying,
"The Lord loveth cheerful giver." The
next boy dropped his cent into the box,
saying, HE that giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord" The third and
youngest boy dropped his penny, saying,
"a fool and his money are soon parted"

Genuine sympathy is a balm that heals
many wounds. but it is question If a
certain man who met friend on the
street day or two ago had his grief as
suaged by the expression of sympathy he
received. Both parties were from a
rural district and it was evident had not
seen each other for long time. Meet

out: "Why. hello. Joe: am awful glad

She Had q Bite.
New York Sun.


Every one had his or her line over
the rail of the boat awaiting a bite,
when the freckled-faced girl with au-
burn hair turned to the young man
with dOwny mustache and two watch
chains, and exclaimed:
"Oh! Augustus, I believe-I believe
have biteu'
"Then pull in," he commanded.
"But it may be a great big fish, and
he may pull me into the water"
II won't let him."
"But If he does:'
81 will save you, or we will perish to-
getherw
"rhen-then I will pull"
She pulled and brought in a sea-rohin
about AS big as your finger. The peril
had passed. We sneered at the catch,
but they minded it not. Not until that
moment had they dared acknowledge
their love. He was her'n and she was
his'n, and they were very, very happy
as they spit on their bait for more luck.

The Republicans have got their foot
in it this year worse than ever. For
years their bloody shirt orators have
made the welkin ring in stirring up tile
animosities of the late war. They have
preached the doctrine of "Once a rebel
always REBEL" and because such high
minded and able men as Lamar, Gov.
Gordon and other distinguished men
hold high places in the Democratic
ranks, these Republicans have screeched
their threats hOarse; their eyes are swol-
len with great crocodile tears they have
shed; and their pathetic voices have
every where gone forth telling of their
undying love for the Union soldier.
While these little farces have been GO
ing on in the past, Gen. Longstreet,
Bushwhacker MOsby, Postmaster Cen
eral Keyes, Orr, and other noted ex-reb-
els, have received the highest honors Mt
the hands of these same political ac-
robats. And now, to cap the climax,
the Republicans of Virginia have chosen
as their standard bearer for the coming
campaign, one of the greatest rebels of
the late war, Gen. ,Mahone. Not only
was this ringster an eX-rebel, but by his
petty quarrels and manipulations of the
machinery of his Safe, he has become
one of the most notorious politicians in
the country. Only last year at the Re-
publican national convention, at Chica-
go, Malone and his political antagonist
came to blows and had o cat and dog
show in one of the ante rooms, and
now this same characteris is marching i'm
the van of the Republicans of Virginia.
Consistency is mighty fine thing, but
there is something about it that re-

Ruin by Protection.

The manufacturers of the iute bag
ging for covering cotton bales enjoy the
protection of prohibitOry duty ON
competing products. That is to say,
under Republican policy a patertal
government by law c0mpelIs the mil
lions OF American citiZeus who are ell
gagged in growing cotton to buy their
bagging of this little company of favor.
ed rich men. This is called protecting
American industry.
The little group of rich mOnOpOIists
last year formed themselves into a
trust, shut up some of their mills, there
by throwing wOrkmen out of employ
ment, and advanced the price of jute
bagging to an extent which imposed all
additional tax of several millions of
dollars on the growers of cotton.
Thus the protection" of a few rich
men involved the oppressive robbery of
multitude of men not rich. And
that is what protection usually does.
The planters this year have sought to
protect themselves against this des-
tructive protection" by buying a cot
ton cloth bagging which the southern
cotton mills make, for use in lieu of

this bagging extensively and all the
planters have bought this years sup
ply. Now comes the news that tile
jute bagging manufacturers have Sc
cured an alliance with the Liverpool
cotton exchange authorities under
which that exchange peremptorily re-
fuses to recognize" cotton bales COW
cred with cotton bagying.
1t is reported that this decision will
ruin many of the cotton growers and
pecquniarily injure all of them. If so.
their ruin, or whatever injury short of
ruin they suffer. will be tile direct con-
sequence and fruit of that policy of
legislation for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many which is mis-
named "protection.' The facts in the
case will hardly tend to stimulate the
growth of the alleged protectjonist SEN
timent in the south.-N. Y. World.

Xmas Presents.

There has not been n Xmas yet but
what we disposed of number of Steinuoay
and GG6ler Pianos. We received a new
stock last week, and the sales already COM
menced so favorably that we telegraphed
for more to be here this week. Now one
word to any purchaser OF frs t-class Pianos.
When examining an upright, the favorite
styles nowadays have the front board re-
moved, which gives you q view of the in
side. Inquire particularly that the Trans
in which the tuning pipes are is of Steel
not of iron. Everybody knows that steel is
more durable than iron. That is one reason
why railroads use steel rails nowadays in
preference TO iron, as they never spread.
Next examine the hammers which strike
the strings, see that they are of gray color
with white tips, and let them be guaran-
teed to be moth and water proof. Next ex-
anime the hammer rail on which the ham
mers rest when not in action, see that it ia
made of steel, not of iron, or generally
wood, which warps with the change of the
temperature. This hammer rail is operated
with the foot on the soft pedal, and moves
forward and backward. Ask to be shown
next the steel agraffes not piece of brass
or framed iron. All this applies to Square
and Grand Pianos We delivered Piano
last week to a purchaser who had been
bothered and pestered by drummers run
ming to his house until he got SO tired that
he hurried up to buy Steinuay "They
now will keep away, when they see got
one. had made up my mind to get
StetnaCoy and nothing else. A friend
of mine told me if you want
anything good go to Schreiner," he said.
Yes, good instruments is our pride We
never heard that any of our first-class Jew
elers run around with diamonds in their
pockets and worrying people to buy them.
We don't do this either with our Pianos.
We do not put them in peoples houses to
try them month or two, neither do jew
elers let people wear their diamonds a
month or two on trial. We know of a GEN
tleman who had two different Pianos in his
parlor on trial, and wanted one of ours to
compare. We laughed at the idea, and
now the other two got out and a Stein1uau
took their place. This sort of sewing ma
chine business style don't suit us and never
will. The reputation of our instruments
and our guarantee must be sufficient.

WANT SEWERS AND LIGHT.
a Petition From the Southwestern
Section OF the City.

- Os1tAOh rIon L1e southwestern
Section of the City.
A petition is in circulation in the south
western part of the city, to be presented to
the street and lane committee and the city
council tomorrow night, asking that in
making up the budget provision bs made
for system of sewerage in the vicinity of
West Broad and Anderson streets, and for
lights for that portion of the city.
The petition sets forth that there are no
sewers or cutters to carry off the storm
water which floods the streets in that sec
tion and renders it unsanitary, and they say
that light is also one of the essentials, which
is the more necessary as that locality is not
patroled by police in the night time
The petition further represents the fact
that the progress in building has outgrown
the progress of the council in extending the
petit toner's such drainage, light and police
protection as other portions OF the city en-
JOY, and that as they must share in the tax
burdens they are entitled to, and should
receive, just share OF the benefits for
which taxes are laid upon their property.
and as the council claims the last budget
did not provide ample funds to extend
sewerage, light and police protection this
year, now that the new budget is about to
be made up it should not be curtailed so as
TO deny them a second year.

United States Deputy Marshal L. J.
Leavy and Robert Levison, a guard, of
Brunswick, have lodged in jail here four
prisoners for passing counterfeit money.
The prisoners are James Booth,
James Mcdonald, Robert Moran, and
Charles Schottky. They were ar
rested last week upon the aft
davit of Jules Eichberger, who was one OF
their victims, and United States Commits
sioner Symons, after an examination, bound
them over to answer in the United States
court. Schottky made a clean breast of it,
and plaster dies for silver dollars were
found in his home at Fernandina. Moran.
who was in Brunswick, got wind of the in
vestigation and fed the state, but was ar
rested on telegram by the sheriff at Fer
nandina and brought back to Brunswick.
Schottky, who is said to have made the
molds In which the spurious coin was made,
is we'll known in this city. He is lock-
smith and gunsmith by trade, and used to
keep repair shop at 103 York street, now
the Office of the new court house contractors.
He put the electric bells in the new Jail
building.
Schottky gained quite an unenviable no.
| toriety, when he lived in Savannah, in a
| case he prosecuted in the city court against
Joseph Rose, on a charge OF selling liquor
on Sunday, because Rose refused to sell
him drink Counsel for Rose secured an
| acquittal for his client, and.the way the
character of the prosecuting witness figured
in the trial had much to do with the result
at the time. A friend of Schottky called at
the Jail to see him yesterday, but an inter
view was denied. Marshal Leavy and Mr..
LeviSon returned to Brunswick yesterday.
