Where Life is 8 Romance.

The governor of kumamoto, an old friend, telegrsphed me to come and visit him sev- enty-flve miles away, on the Gulf of Shima- baca, beautiful city, and beautiful prov ince, that of Higo. A steam yacht was placed at my disposal, and, accompanied by two of my old Japanese servants, went. The story of my visit, if could tell it, would read to you like the Arabian Nights" 1 was received most cordially, a palace ap- propriated to myself, with two officers of the governor, a lieutenant of the army and the chief of police quartered in the room on the ground floor to look to my wants, and four beautiful Giesha to attend me night and day. Dinners after the old Japanese fashion, and every sort of fete in my honor. An! 1t was lovely and hard for me to realize that was not in truth a prince, so royal was my entertainment. But must tell you there is not foreigner in that prov ince I had been there before. The gover- nor was a Daimio, and my old friend, and had formerly introduced into his province several industries by which they had profited; :; and one, straw braiding, which paid his people S2O,000 month for three years; they allappreciated this and were grateful.
 One night at dinner an officer approached me and said: General, there is beautiful lady, a Giesha, at the other end of the room, who has been regarding you with great in terest. She never before saw a foreigner; may bring her to youa" At Japanese din- ner everybody sits on the floor, which is cov- cred with mating. I said, "Yes, bring her," and she came; and indeed she was beautiful, with the loveliest voice I ever heard; tall, rounded and 1.-the, with eyes like stars and teeth of pearls I said, Are you afraid of mel" She replied, "No, though you are the first foreigner I ever saw; but they tell me you are an illustrious man and kind and good" The governor then came and sat be- side us. I said to him, "How lovely this girl isl" That was all. When I went home to my palace that night, and was crossing the great room on satin, heard something flop behind me, and there was the beautiful girl, with her forehead on the mat in salutation. "Why, my dear, how came you herel" "The gov ernor sent me to wait on my lord consur'- and here ends this story. An! how I wished for you, my dear uncle, with your apprecia- tion of all good things and your congenial companionship; and now, apropos, let me tell you 1 have plan to get you here, that you also may see and enjoy this beautiful country and delightful people and be with me.-Letter ill Mobile Register.

A SHORT SESSION.

There is feeling ahead that the legis- lature which convened to-day at Hart ford should hold a short session. It has been the misfortune of Connecticut assemblies generally that they have tired themselves and the public by dragging their slow length along until everybody was crying for a rest. There is, to be mand the attention of the legislators larger probably owing to the fact that this will be the first session under the biennial plan. And there is much i'm portant business, too, such as railroad legislation, amendments and revisions of city charters, secret voting at elections, changes in the state constitution in re- gard to choice of state officers by plurality vote, and many other matters of more or less importance that are like ly to demand considerable time at the hands of the lawmakers.
 And yet withal it is possible, and even easily practicable, to make this first biennial session comparatively short one. If the legislators and their committees get to work early and make up their minds to dispatch the public business with all the promptitude consistent With correct legislation they can let the coun- try members home in time to blow their lands and plant their crops the moment the frost is out of the ground. It ought not to take four or five months to get through the business of the session, as has been customary, and if Lieutenant Governor Merwin and Speaker Perry keep things moving in their respective bodies it may be possible to write down the session of 1889 as one of the shortest in the legislative history of the state.
 A short session and lively session is what everybody is signing and crying for.

the ground that he had greatly benefited the Pacific slope by starting the impor- tation of colored laborers for lands on the various farms of southern California, which would be greatly benefited, the Argonaut insisted, by the immigration of half million or more negroes.
 There are now many more negroes in the south than can be provided with work, and the south would gain largely by a considerable eff1ux of this class of laborers. The relief to the present over crowded labor market would be most beneficial to the negroes themselves who would remain and to the general pop ulation of the south. The colored labor CTS would be especially we'll adapted to the glorious climate" of California, and outdoor work on the warm farms and plantations of the Pacific coast would be more congenial to them perhaps than to any class of white labor that could be had. Negro labor is not generally of a highly intelligent order but well directed and controlled it would be adequate to the work of cultivating the farms and plantations of the coast. And the large influx of this labor to California would go farther perhaps to drive out the cheap Chinese labor than any other method that could be adopted. Negro labor, however, would be open to the same objections generally that are urged against the Mongolians, and it is not clear just where the white workmen of the Pacific slope would benefit from the change.
 The labor problem of California can- not be solved by negro immigration.

A republican who was recently elected to the New York legislature from one of the districts near Albany knows the se cret of his success, and isn't afraid to "acknowledge the corn.' This republi- can is a young man and the son of a wealthy father. After his election a number of those who had voted for him called in to extend congratulations and to hint that he could do something for them. The young man had been cele- brating himself, and when the crowd called on him he was in state of friend ly confidence. After congratulations galore and speeches the candidate him. self stood up and made his little speech in this wise: "Fellow citizens-I sup pose there are democrats and republi cans both among you. 1 want to tell you that it was not the democrats that elected me, nor the republicans, but this''-and, reaching down into his trous- CTS pocket, he pulled out a wad of green backs, which he waved defiantly at the crowd. There is evidently the making of Dudley in that young man.

UNCLE ELI'S SUCCESSOR.

The fact that the republicans have majority of two in the legislature of Delaware and will choose successor to Eli Saulsbury in the United States senate has attracted much attention from the country generally to the contest for his seat. The election will take place next Tuesday, and the nominating caucus will be held next Monday night. When it became known that the republicans had captured the legislature there sprung up full crop of candidates who would like to fill Uncle Ellis shoes, but thd contest has narrowed down to a half dozen or less, of whom J. Edward Addicks has made himself most conspicuous by the vigor of his canvass.
 MT Addicks is a millionaire several times, which comments him in the eyes of the republicans, but he is only a nominal resident of the state. His home is in Boston, with an office i'll Philadel- phia, he being largely interested ill water gas manufacturing. He moved into Della ware during the last campaign, but has I uol lSoloSu III tiAS SesteS M several years. He occasionally lived at | Claymont, has his washing done there, and consequently thinks he has some claim on the senatorial plum. He is credited with having offered to give S100,0 to the republican party's ex- chequer in the state in the event of his election to the senatorship. If this is so MT Addicks' friends may. congratulate him in advance, for it is the custom now with the republican legislatures to auc- tiOn off senatorial seats and knock them down to the highest bidder. If MT Ad- dicks has bid S1O0,000 his rivals must go him considerably better, for it is an evi- dence that he doesn't propose to be out bid at the auction. It is said of him, too, that he has an unusual amount of magnetism in his composition, which IS probably only another term for the money that he carries in his pocket. The other candidates are more timid of his money than of his magnetism.
 Besides Mir Addicks there are several candidates prominently mentioned fol the place, among them being Anthony Higgins of Washington, N. B. Smithers of Dover, George V. Massey of Dover and Charles H. Treat of Georgetown The fight is growing warm and exciting and the feeling is running high. Tho country is deeply interested in the out come, for it is always interesting to note the progress Of a lively gambling oper ation. And the canvass for a senatorial seat, where none but mllionaires car compete, Is generally looked upon especially in republican legislature, a. a gambling operation in its most glarine sense. It is a game where the riches man, or at least the one who will give up the most money, is as sure to win a water is to run down hill
 The highest bidder will be Uncle Eli! successor.

The Buck Chased the Hunter.

John A. Beard of Anthony Creek Green brier county, w. Va, while walking along the edge of wood came across his dog en- gagged in a battle with big buck. The deer was getting the better of the dog when Beard ran up and gave the deer a savage kick in the side. The blow brought the vengeance of the deer down upon Beard, who i'll a second was knocked down and would have been gored to death but for the faithful dog. While the deer was defending itself from the dog Beard got on a high fence and sat there, while the buck tried for half an hour to reach him. MT. Beard was about worn out when neighbor arrived with gun and shot the deer. It was one of the oldest and largest bucks seen this season, having seven prongs on it's horns and weighing 16S pounds dressed. New York World

Shoninger's is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they sre so poor! prefer to buy of reliable house one that 1 know will be here right along and always makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them at every cross road in season and more often. out of season, until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying sto sell you.
