The names of the writers of the "Authur
Richmond" letters will probably be known
to the public before long. Dom Piatt has
comics ed he was one member of the syndi-
cate that wrote them, and he says it was
"a syndicate of blackguards." Other mem
bers of it, according to Mr.. Piatt, were
Mr.. Hurlburt, formerly of the New York
World, Judge Toucgee and Miss Abigail
Dodge ("Gail Hamilton Gen. Ben Butler

he declined upon the ground that when he

to be admired than that of the syndicate

a Pug Dog and His Airy Mistress.
From &c Ne,c York TribMne

From the Ne'C York Tribune.
BosToS, July 13.-A funny incident happened
recently on the Providence division of the Old
Colony raj way. A large. raw-boned, good
ured man entered the car the train held
up at the ROxbury station. The canvas crowded
and people were standing. The newcomer
stopped suddenly beside a seat which was occu-
pied by young lady, who was buried in novel,
and beside her reposed a PIT pug dog. The
other passengers had stood from Boston to thls
point without protesting, but the latest arrival
took in the situation at glance, and said
mildly:
Miss, would like to sit down. if you please. -"
The young woman looked up dreamily from
the book and replied, with dignity:
The seat is engaged"
by the dog:"
Yes"
Has the dog ticket?'
No answer.
"Oh, I'm sorry he hasn't a ticket, because I'll
have to bounce him of the train
And without moments hesitation the dog
was lifted by the nape of the neck to the win
dow anu dropped the ground, and the vacant
seat was taken by the stranger.
The young woman was pAralyzed for mo-
ment
The train was only moving slowly as it left
Roxbury and the pug was not harmed, scam
pering OFF for dear life. His mistress as soon
as she Srasped the situation, screamed to the
approaching conductor to stop the engine 80
that she might recover her pet. The co ductoI
was soon informed as } the cause of the sensd-
ton, and quietly told the young woman that
she might get off at the next station if she
wished to and hunt for the dog. She did so, to
the delight of the crowded car.

Mr.. Tatum,s Meat Bill.


from being shipped into this state, does not
appear to be popular one. 1t may be
very good bill for stock growers, but not
for beef consumers. Mr.. Tatum says that
Georgia stock growers do not get half as
much for beeves as they did before the ship
Ping of dressed beef from the west to south
ern towns began.
1t may be true that Georgia beeves are
not in as great demand as they were before
western dressed beef found its way into our
markets, but, as matter of fact, is not the
western beef very much superior to the
home articlei The thing for the Georgia
stock raisers to do is to improve their breeds
Of CATTLE The dressed beef from the west
is not a first-class article, and it could not
hold its place in our markets if it were not
for the inferior quality of Georgia beef
There is reason for thinking that good
beef can be produced in Georgia. But it
cannot be done until the breeds OF cattle
are improved and attention is paid to the
growing Of grasses. Scrawny cattle which
are permitted to live upon what they can
find in the woods do not make go d beef
People will not buy Georgia beef when
they can get western beef, because the
quality of the former Is, as general thing,
s. poor.
III Mr.. Tatum wants to assist the stoc
raisers of the state let HIM encourage them
to improve the breeds of cattle and Guilt
vate gra ses upon which to feed their stock.
Let hin encourage them to produce beef
superior to that shipped into this state from
the west, and if they act upon the hints he
gives item it will not be long before native
beef will not only bring good price, but
will drive the western beef out of the
market.
If Mr.. Tatums bill were to become a law
it would be a dangerous precedent Other
laws of a similar character would be de-
mauded. Everyone who found his bust
ness injured by competing business enter
prises in other states would insist upon pro-
| lection. The doors of the state would be
closed against many of the products of
other states. The result would he that
other states would retaliate by shutting out
Georgia products. This would be coadi-
tion of affairs from which Georgia would
suffer rather than be benefited In fact, it
is doubtful if Mr.. Tatums bill is cons itu-
tionaL 1t is certainly against good policy.
Some one, writing in the New York
World, wants the government TO pension
John L. Sullivan. He SAYS: "John Law
renee Sullivan is no doubt the worlds
champio4; authorities at Washington, in
stead of wanting to a rest him, ought to
grant him certain sum year the same
as the Epgiisn parliament did Tom Sayers,
providing he never fights again. If my
memory serves me right, it was $1,000 per
year so hong as he lived. If vote was ut

e. at amount from the generous American
public. and it uld be the best way, for If
ever he gets fair punch at any other man

That wild western wit. ex-Congressman
Horr, is said TO be very angry because the
President appointed him consul to Valpa-

this that Mr.. H1rr is opposed to holding

would ike nothing better than well pay

he has been iusulted by the President in

The Chicago Inter Ocean says that its
authority for the statement that no union

the new Georgia capitol was dedicated is a
Georgia democrat, and that the Georgia
democrat suggested the editorial which the

Does the farm pay? Every farmer
should ask himself this question at the
close OF harvest and answer it honestly.
The farm does not pay if it merely
affords a living and prevents the accu-
mutation OF debt. 1t may do more than
this-it may even decrease debt and add
to the value of stock and improvements
and yet not pay. It being assumed
that the labor and superintendence of
the owner is equal in value to the sun
port OF the family, then the net accumu-
lation OF the year must be equal to the
legal interest upon the whole capital in
vested, or the farm does not nav. This
Is simple method of farm bookkeeping
and will always answer the question
yet too many farIners would shrink from
applying the test. If the farm does MOI
pay to at least this extent, the situation
should be ngidly canvassed, with . view
to finding better methods. Labor
bnlin and capital working together fur
nish the best possible combination 70,
success. and when they are entered in
one individual should be able to com.
mand it.

must leave to some able writer the
work of picturing to the world in suit
able language the grandeur of what
will soon be known as the highest
waterfall in the world. 1t consists of
three leaps in an almost direct line,
but when standing about a quarter of
a mile away it has the appearance of a
straight leap with two breaks. The
upper leaps are equidistant and the
lower one shorter. The water issues
from narrow defile in the rock at the
top of the precipice; it then makes one
grand leap of 815 feet in rocky basin
on the face of the cliff; issuing forth
once more it makes another fine leap
of 751 feet and then goes tumbling
headlong into one wild dash of 338 feet
into the pool right at the foot of the
precipice. 1t will thus be seen that
the total height of the fall is l, 9O4 feet,
thus making it the highest waterfall
that has yet been discovered in the
world
Proceeding right on to the pool at
the foot-hewn out, we are told, by the
heavy fall of water from the mound of
stones and debris projecting over in
times of food-at the expense. how
ever, of getting drenched with the
spray, a splendid view of the whole is
obtained. and when the sun is shining
the effect is enhanced by beautiful
rainbow of colors of the most brilliant
kind conceivable and nearly full cir
Gle in shape.-Philadelphia Times.
