No Longer Boys.

At the meeting of the ex-confederates
Wednesday evening, says the Kansas City Times,
Capt. StaSey of Richmond Va, who is here
with view of locating met his old comrade in
arms, r. b. Craddock, for the first time in
many years. The two gentlemen promptly fell
upon each others neck but after moment both
recovered sufficiently to straighten up and
indulge in sundry explanations OF establishment
at the change time had wrought in each.
Alas, we are no longer boysr cried Capt.
Stasey, looking respectfully at Craddock's gray
hairs
Col. j. w. Gillespie took advantage of the
opportunity to make little speech, and he too,
mourned that nearly all of the I'D comrades
locks we're now silvered DER. TOO true, in
deed, said he, I'VE ars no longer boys"
A murmur Of approval was heard, but before
1t had subsidized a voice in tine rear of the
room spoke up, and when it had had its say
the entire assemblage was convulsed with laugh
ter.
That's all right enough about you fellows
not being boys" it said, but just wait until
some fellow goes around corner down at Hig.
gnsvle and holds up his finger and says:
Come on boys, just keep an eye on the crowd
and see il every mothers son of 'em doesn't
think himself called"

A Most Remarkable Society.

OF all the remarkable soci tiles ever orga n
zed in this country, enc prgllizei il Pail
adelphil the other night is probably the
most remarkable. 1t is to ba hoped that il
is the first and last of It's kind. A dozan
men, whose matrimonial experiences had
not been of the most pleasant, vent into a
tifth-story room, locke the d DOR, and pro.
ceeded TO organize the "Order of the Mystic
Circle the declared Object of which is
the protection aud relief of unfortunate
husbands" Oaly those who have had "dl f.
ficulties" with their wives are eliribla
to membership, aud the ''difficulties"
must have been of "serious
character" The moment it is dis
covered that the difficulties of any man.
Der have been adjusted, he will be expal ed.
The society encourages divorce suits bv
binding itself to pay the costs of those of it,
membe,S who may bring them, as we'll ~
to contribute alimony in cases In which
1t Is allowed. The hush md who was
shown to have the most inplacable
wife" was elecoei president, and the other
officers we're divided among the me nbar;
who, under this rule, were best fitted for
them. The originators of the socisty com
mlnicated their inspiration" to their
friends the next day, and before ntgnt.
nearly 200 applications for mem ership had
been written out. 1t is the purpo g Of the
originators to Apply for charter, and they
contsdentially predict tnat BY the time they
get it,which will b. three weeks hencs. the

There is another k nj Of society that

10 Prevent the overfows.

Mr.. A. deCeradeuc, the re,ident engineer
Of the South Carolina railway. has written
70 Mr.. P. r. Sleige, Of Augusta, very IN
teresting letter in which he states what he
believes to be the best method for prevent
ing the overfows OF the Savannah river.
Mr.. deCaradeuc. for reasons which he con-
siders sufficient, and which he states in
clear manner. does not think that it would be
practicable to resort TO any Of the methods
heretofore suggested, that is, to REGARD to
the waters Of the river by means Of dams,
to buLd levees or a canal, or to terrace the
lands that form the watersheds.
Believing that the cause Of the overfiows
is the denu iation of the mills and slopes
along the river banks, Mr.. d-Caradeuc says
that the only safe and practical way OF
preventing the overfloAs is 10 allow these
lands now under cultivation to grow up
again in trees, and to prohibit the clearing
off Of other such lands. lie says that at
present nearly all of the rain water
that falls upon these lands finds its
way into the river, whereas, If
they were covered with trees, one-half Of
the water wound be absorbed by the soil.
The work sugy ested by Mr. deCaradeuc
would rave to be under the control Of for
esters appointed by tn state, aud ,om9 Of
the lands IN the South Carolina sido would
have to be bought by the stat. The obj ct
in view would not be attained in some
years, and in the msantims there mig t be
overflows, but hs thinks tuis plan will have
to be adopted sooner or later, I'd it would
be wise to adopt it nov. He points out
that the overfiors of tue river Dura ice, "A
France, used to be the terror of the people
living along its course, but tine contiguous
lands were put in charge Of foresters, TO
ests were allo we'd to grow, and as a result
the overfows ceased. In France, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Algiers ID other countries,
he says, this system is adopted with salts
factory results, and schools for the study of
forestry are established The graduates of
these schools not only give their attention
to the prevention of overhows, but they
teach the farmers to save their hillsides
from destruction and tell them what tire 5
to plant, and how to cultivate them to the
best advantage. For this they are we'll paid
by their respective govern ents.

Miss Jennie Chamb erlain's engagement to
Capt Herbert NayIor Leyla1d, of England,
was announced several m onths ago, and the
marriage took place in London the other
day. Miss Chamberlain was known as the
American beauty. Some of her admirers
said that she was the most beautiful woman
in America, but of course that was an ex-
aggeration, for there are numbers of south
ern women who are as beautiful, il not
more beautiful. The bridal presents were
numerous and handsome. Among them
were a diamond-ruby pin and diamond
and pearl studded brooch, horseshoe shaped,
by the Prince Of Wales. Capt. Leyland is
wealthy and an aristocrat

Faithful Service Rewarded.

Mr.. He ry c.. Kelsey is the Pooh Bah of
New Jersey politics. Besides being secre-
tary OF state, he is the insurance commits
sioner, clerk of the court of pardons, the
court of errors and appeals, and tho rlparia
commission, and a mem er of the state
board of education. He has won his great
est distinction, however, as secretary of
state, having held that office for nearly
twenty-five years.
Twenty-Five years is a long while to hold
an office of such dignity as that of secre
tary of state, and the fact that Mr.. kelsey
has held it that length of time shows that
he is a capable official. The present secre-
tary of state of Georgia, however. has
servel in that capacity longer than Mr..
Kelsey. In fact, it is extremely doubtful if
any other official of that rank in this coun-
try has held his position as
rnany years as Mr.. Nathan Crawford
Barnett Mr.. Barnett was first elected in
1913. He has not held the office consecu-
lively ever since, for in lS49 he was SUPER
seeded by Mr.. George w. Harrison, of Ran.
'lph county, who served one term, and in
lo53he was defeated by Mr. E. P. Watkins.
of Atlanta, who was in office several years.
Then, when military rule was establi she'd
in Georgia, soon after the war, he was de-
posed, but he resumed business at the old
stand, so to speak, in 1873 He has seen
about thirty years of service as secretary
of state.
Mr.. Barnett was member of the legisla
ture which passed the bill which authorize
the obstruction of the Western and At
lantic railroad. He strongly supported that
bill. That he is an efficient public officer
and man whose integrity is above srs
picion goes without say ng

Wanted-WiVes.

Tacoma, w. T., has surplus of mar
riageable young men, and Boston, Mdss.
has surplus Of marriageable young women.
The surplus Of young men IN Tao oma can
very easily be account for. Washington
is a territory which offers ve.y fair Undue
ments to people who want to go west and
grow up with the country, aud most of
those who want 20 do That sort of thi1
are young men. Boston's surplus of I'M
married women is not 50 easily explained.
Can 1t be that the young men Of that city
seek wives elsewhere, as a rulel D. they
fail to appreciate the intellectually of the
Boston women' Do they sarink from mar
riage with women who go in for female
suffrage, and who delve in hi lden lore
rather than in that knowledge which ma kes
good housewives!
However this may be, the Boston young
women are notunapprec ate1 in Tacoma.
The mayor of Tacoma said recently that he
wished some of them would CONS to his
city and marry the young mel who are
sesking wives. He is not insensible to the
fact that the women of New York, Brook
Ign and Philadelphia possess peculiar
charms, but the intellectual culture of the
Bosto women has made deep impress on
upon him, d he has probably dreamed of
the time when Tao ma wo Id furnish the
brai for the new state as result of the
intermarriage of her young men with Bos-
ton women.
The mayors remarks have created quite
commotion in Boston, but it is sad to re-
late that the prevailing sentiment Of the
unmar led women Of that city is that they
would rather wait on the table in Boston
than live anywhere else. Some of them
think 1t is rather impertinent for the Ia
coma mayor to ask them to marry young
men whom they have never seen.
The ston young women are quite right
in refusing to go to Tao ma and throw
themselves at the young men. If the
Tacoma men want wives let them go to
Boston and push their SUITS or, better sti Il,
for them, If they are the proper kind of
young men, let the come nth for that
purpose. For beauty, grace, character, re-
tinement, and, in fact, all of those attributes
in women that tend to make happy and
contended homes, southern women lead the
world.

Gov. Foraker expec ted TO formally omen
his campaign for reelection with a speech in
Aenia Saturday night. 1t may be stated
with confidence that he will wave the bloody
shirt for all 1t is worth, and it seems to he
worth good deal to the republicans of
Ohio. MIR. Campbell, the democratic can
didate, will make his opening speech to-
night. Mr.. Campbell isn't as noisy on
the stump as Foraker, but he has a very
neat way of getti at the tom facts
He says that there is no reasonable doubt
that the democrats will carry the legislature
and thus insure dem pcratic succes sor to
Senator Payne, and that his chances for be-
ing elected governor are excellent. Ohio
has been known to go dem cratic in off
years, and it is to be hoped that it will this
year.
