The new South is coming to the
front with surprising agility. The
report of the Manufacturer Record

presenting sos, $4,000 of capital, as
against 2,O23 new enterprises, invest
ing $S1 100000 during the first six

to stay.

One proof of the advance of the
Democratic party on lines of tariff re-
form is furnished in the attitude OF
dissidents within the party lines, who
quarreled with the evasive platform
of 1884 because of its anti-protective
leanings, and who now insist upon the
readoption of that platform for 1892.
Even the laggards are unwillingly
marching forward, drawn by the
movement of the masses in the right

The 1 200 miners employed by the
Frugality Coal Company are on a
strike. The men have been making
but ninety cents day, and they think
they are entitled to at least little
more than that amount. Vice-Presi-
dent Morton is member of the COM
pany. He certainly ought to do bet
ter for the dinner pals of his miners.
He called upon these men for votes
last year, and he claimed to be one of

THE CHIVALROUS KNIGHTS.
They Were Beyond Question by Far the
Worst Pills in the Box.
d

They Were Beyond Question by Far the
Worst Pills in the Box.
Blackwood's Magazine.l y
The chivalrous knights who came over
with the Conqueror, the mobiles who fought
Neville's Gross, and Crecy, and Agincourt,
were, for the most part, the merciless
tyrants of their serfs and dependents. Sor-
rid rapacity kept pace with reckless profu-
sion, and in the arbitrary exercise of their
feudal rights they shrank from no form of
oppressive cruelty. Their brutalities would
have disgraced Jonathan Wild, and their
crimes would seem scandalous in the New
gate calendar.
To do them justice, they were as hard on
their equals as on their interiors, though
from point of perhaps egotistical pune
tilio, they spared their equals the dishonor
of actual torture. The captive had neither
comfort nor mercy to expect till he paid his
ransom, or was rescued by his friends.
What stories of slow misery in the very
shadow of death might be told by the dun
geon that may still be seen beneath the
foundation OF such castles as Warkworth or
Kenilworthl There the well-nurtured
knight, like Damian de Lacy in 1.-The Be-
trothed," shackled and ironed, although
there was no possibility of escape, was
doomed to solitary seclusion on the coarsest
and scantiest food. Fettered in the damp
and the darkness among loathsome creep
ing things, he drew breath with difficulty,
in the foulest air; and it was fortunate Tor
him that, like the cold -blooded toads, which
were his fellou-prisoners undeveloped SEN
sibilities saved him from insanity. The only
access to those loathsome oubliettes was, as
at Warkworth, through the trap-door open
ing in the roof
What must have been the tone of mind
of the chivalrous lord of the castle who
would feast and carouse in the banquet hall
above stairs with such horrors and such
suffering beneath his leetl But what be-
tween hard fighting, free feasting, and deep
drinking, the mobiles of the middle ages
seem to have kept conscience at arms
length, as they had become absolutely in
different to the suffering of their fellow
creatures. There were rare exceptions to
prove the rule. Some princes and wealthy
mobiles were piously inclined and munif-
cent. They gave literally in theirIlifetimes
and made magnificent ecclesiastical foun-
dations.

platform in a gilt chair like a throne, and
her guests are permitted to kiss her hand
and bend the knee before her.
How different is the position of our ex-
rulers. When ex-President Hayes attended
the funeral of President Garfield no one
took the slightest notice of him, except one
policeman who cried, keep off that grass.
TRUE FRIEND.
Napoleon III. was very much admired by
Queen Victoria, who has always been great
ly moved by manly beauty. When he
visited her court his equality of position
permitted the young Queen a greater free
dom than she had ever been allowed with
any man, and she delighted in his conversa-
tion, his brilliancy and his knowledge ofthe
world. She admired the Empress and en-
We'd her savolr faire. and since her widow
hood and sorrow she has been a very warm
friend to her.
When the Empress was enjoying her
splendid youth in Vienna she heard great
singer sing a new German song that much
affected her. 1t was the "Good Night, Fare
well, now SO widely known, but then just
published. She sent for him and asked him
to teach it to her. She had a beautiful mezzo
voice, and it became the favorite in her
repertoire Years passed, and when she
visited England in 80 with the Emperor the
same singer sang at State concert in Buck
ingham Palace and sang the same song. She
had not looked at her programme, but when
the familiar tones came to her ears, she burst
into tears.
AS 1 saw her bent and trembling, draped
in black and leaning on a staff thought of
all her sorrows, and 1, too, burst into tears
in the hotel corridor and murmured "Good
Night, Farewell" OLIVE WESTON.

SINCERE BUT SEVERE.
A Little Girl Embarrasses Visitors by Re-
peating Her Mothers Orders.

Boston Courier.i
A couple of ladies who were recently call
ing in Brookline were ushered into the
parlor upon the floor of which lay a rug
with middle Of solid crimson. After they
had crossed this brilliant eXpanse, they
were Mortified by the discovery that every
footstep they had taken was clearly printed
in dust upon the otherwise stainless surface
of the rug.
As they sat guiltily regarding the soiled
rug, the small daughter of the hostess came
in to the room, and the minute she entered
her eyes fell upon the footprints.
"Oh, just see there, what you've done, )"
she cried. "You just see what my mamma
will do to you; she had that rug all cleaned
nice this morning for company tonight
She told me she'd send me to bed without
ice cream if stepped on it"
This was all delivered in tone of voice
which left no room Of doubt of its sincerity,
and the callers we're divided between a
sense of their guilt and an inclination to
laugh at the manner in which it was brought
home to them. Fortunately for their peace
of mind their hostess entered at that mo-
ment and explained that the rug was one
which showed every trace of dust, and that
she found it necessary to take strong
measures to keep it free from the track of
her children's feet, but that it was not an
offense to step on it for which she could not
forgive her friends.

THE PLAYERS REAL CHARACTERS.

THE PLAYERS REAL CHARACTERS.
Helen Delware's Comedy Company went
along paying its way. The public awarded
medals to it in the form of big, round Ameri-
can silver dollars, and SO the artistic and inan-
cial result was fairly satisfactory to the ambi-
tIous woman. She was absorbed in her pro-
fessional aspirations, and delighted with the
considerable degree of favor which she won.
So interested was she in being an actress that
she all but forgot she was wife, and it was
not hard, under the circumstances, to keep her
travelling companions unaware that John
Wardutf and she were husband and wife. AL
though her head was thus turned by stage tri-
umphs. her heart remained dormantly devoted

NATION by the importance of her dramatic un-
dertaking and she bestowed neither thought
nor affection upon him, she was not disloyal to
him in any act. Even such qualified praise
could not have been properly bestowed upon
him, however, Tor his habit of gambling pos
sesseo him very detrImsntauy, His earliest

cisely the same as if someone was talking to
me. Most of the messages come along so
rapidly, you know, that they make run

you were talking to me here, but rather as
if YOU sat in one corner of a room and spoke
to me. This is so true that when question
is asked an operator fancies that he hears

FISH In HARNESS.
Rftched to a Sail Boat They Pull 1t ut n
Rapid Rate.

Chicago Herald
Sam Parker was relating some stories
about trained fish a few days ago, and
told of men who owned a yacht with
which he could beat anything in the whole
neighborhood. 1t was surprise, too, to
other owners, for their boats were better
:itted for last sailing. They found out the
reason of it in time, and the ingenuity OF
the trick amazed them.
"This man had lot of trained fish, " said
Mr.. Parker, "and he had little harness
for them After harnessing the bsh he
would hitch them to the boat, and he would
have piece of bait hanging from the bow
spirit lust outsof reach of the fish. They,
of course, made strenuous efforts to reach
the bait, but though they could not do so
they succeeded in pulling the boat along at
such speed that she beat her competl-
tors in all races"

While with reason as sound some argued they

The effects of indulgence distressing.
The first could not think what there was in

For temperance takers to scoff at
he thought it no sin to be seen in gin,
When it yielded a handsome profit.
The next could not fail to see that ale
Was an evil Of mans own choosing;
He was twice in it and fain TO admit
The effect was little confusing.
This statement third thought quite absurd.
And thought too mzch ale made a drunkards
Yet never in it he'd ne'er have been, fit

The fifth wouldn't like his episode strike
A blow at the temperance movement:

And saw decided Improvement

To a ball in the greatest elation,
With the wine at the feast made himself Q

And she now was in sunshine, now shadow.

But not one was so fair as the holder.
Surprising fair she seemed in my eyes,
And longed in my arms to enfold her.
