a New England Trait.
From the Boston Times.


The grasping-though not miserly-nature of
the native New England farmers is somewhat
proverbial. 1t is hard TO get the better of him
in "dicker." and he very seldom gives any
thing for nothing. His keenness in this respect
was well illustrated by an experience of young
Boston man who recently spent week in New
Hampshire.
The young man wanted to hire boat for the
day, and the farmer owned one which was
moored to the bank Of the river.
Can you let me have your boat to day." he
asked of the owner
Wall, let me see" was the cautious reply.
Il don't knows | can. You see thar's man
over here, Dir. So-and-So, that other Teller yer
know. He said tother day he wanted my boat,
and he may be raound this morning"

No; cum ter think of it, 1 feel purity sartin

That settles it, thea, l suppo ,e," said the
young man. But can you tell me any place

"Yesr'

Wanted to be Agreeable.
From the WASHINGTON Post.


One of the pretty well-known sons of better
known father in Washington yesterday formed
the acquaintance of J. H. Ryley, the leading
man of the Rehan company, now paying al
Albaughs Opera House.
Il will be perfectly frank with you, Mr.
Ryley, said the young man. ut is not my
practice to do this sort of thing, but there is a
young lady Of your company whom l would
very much lie TO know, and if it is agreeable
wish you would ask permission to present me
to her."
81 should be glad to do so. Which one is
she?"
Miss Madeline Lucette. 1 admire her acting
very much"
$50 do L." said Mr.. Ryley, land admire her,
and well, may as well confess i'll love
her."
The deuce you do. And she?"
Well, l have reason to believe she loves me"
My dear sir" said the young man, visiby
embarrassed, 81 congratulate you, for she is a
charming young woman"
II suppose you know, however. that she is
married. said Mr.. Ryley.

Yes, and she's married to a miserable fell

The South and the world,s Fair.

Chicago is anxious for the worlds fair Of
1892 to be held in that city, therefore she is
anxious to get the support of the south.
Some days ago the ex-confederates who
live in the city issued an address in which
they stated why, in their opinion, the fair
should be held there, and in which they
urged the southern people to support
Chicago's claim. A few days later the
native Georgians who live in Chicago issued
an address Of like character to the people of
Georgia.
Considerable interest is being aroused in
the probable attitude of the south in the
matter. Will southern congressman vote
for New 70 k, for Chicago, for Washing
ton, or for st. Louise That question caunot
be answered at this time with y degree OF
certainty, but 1T is problbe thai each city
named will receive votes of southern con-
gressmen. From present indications New
York will get the high hest number from the
south, and Washington the next highest.
Chicago and ST. Louis will probably receive
very few southern votes
The Chicago Herald seems to think that
the south will vote against Chicago because
the republican press of that city has for
twenty years viliaed the people of tho south.
1t says: What has the press of Chicago
done in the past to secure the favor of the
south? For twenty years the Bourbon re-
publican press has lied about the south.
Under the false title of northern courage
there has been poured upon the south an
unceasing flood of libel an vlliication."
These things may infue ice some southern
congressman, but not many. The c>nserva-
tive aud thi king people of Chicago are
probably friendly to the south, and do not
uphold such papers as the Tribune aud
the Inter- Ocean in their malicious attacks
upon this section, and if Chicago does not
get many southern votes it will be because
the inducements of some other city are
thought to be greater The Tribune and
the Inter- Ocean, however, should learn to
be more conservative and fair in what they
say about southern people
Washington, Chicago, or st. Louis, the
south should make the best possible exhibit.
The opportunity for showing to the world
what she is capable of will be a great one,
and if she does not take advantage of it she
will make a big mistake. She can have,
and will ha re, if she becomes thoroughly
aroused to the situation, the most wonder
full exhibit there

1t seems that there will soon be two
marriages in the Blaine family. Emmons
Blaine will marry the wealthy Miss Nc
rmick, and it is thought that the engage
ment of Miss Margaret Blaine to Mr..
Walter j. Damrosch, the mu ical composer,
will then be announced. The attachment
between Miss Blaine and Mr. Damrosch
was formed year or two ago. while the
young lady was visiting New York. Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine, ST., are said to be de-
lighted with these matches. and it is not
thought that after year or two they will
try to persuade their children to desert

Who Is Responsible

Northern republican newspapers, which
have a way Of pretending to know every
thineSthat can be learned about so thern
affairs, talk glibly abou. the race problem
in the sou b, but as a general thing what
they say doesn't amount to anything. 1t
may be questioned if there is a northern
man, one who was born and reared in the
north, who understands the real situation
in the south, and who knows what should
be done under the circumstances. What
they say, therefore, is not worth consider
ing. The white people of the south, who
understand the situation as well as
anybody possibly can, have been
trying for twenty.four years to
repair the damage done to their fortunes
during the war and to devise means by
which the white and colored people could
live together amicably and pleasa 1tly-
that is, the right thinking southern whites
have, and they comprise 80 per cent. of the
southern white pop ilatioI. Everything
considered, these efforts have been very
successful. No people ever labored under
such great disadva tages and with better
results, and there are people in the north
WIN hhOW tulS, duu WHO are WllllnS W leu
the south attend to its own affairs A
great many northern people, however,
don't seem to know what the southern
whites have done in the matter. Some
of them really ignorant in this regard.
and Others refuse to see. To carry out
republican schemes they are willing to undo
all that has been done by the southern white
people, and by their utterances they foment
ill feeling between The races. 1t Is these
northern people who are responsible for
race troubles IN the south. All that they
say concerning the race problem has an
evil tendency, and this fact should be
noted by northern capitalists who contrib
ute so literally to republican campaign
funds. Many Of these capitalists have
invested money in southern enterprises, and
the southern race troubles, which northern
politicians foment, make these investments
less profitable.

The Age of Electricity.

The century which is rapidly drawing TO
a close is appropr ately called the age OF
steam; that which will soon be ushered in
will be the age of electricity. In all prob
ability people are now living who will ride
from Savannah to New York between the
rising and the setting Of the sun. Instead
OF trains Of many cars, there probably Will
be two or three cars to the train, and many
trains. The heavy "moguls" that now are
the pride of railroad companies will no
longer pound the life out of
the rails, so to speak, or shake
bridges and trestles to pieces. Every sec
ond or third car. possibly every one, will
carry a motor, taking its power from sta
tionary dynamos placed at intervals along
the track. The loads will be lighter, and,
therefore, the grades may be made heavier
The tracks of other roads and the public
and private roadwaYs will be crossed either
by tunnels or bridges, and the danger at
grade crossings will be obviated; and an
unbruken line of fencing will other wise
protect the trains. This lightning method
of travel will be both safer and quicker
than the present one.
AhO -iACAb u buo pOooiOAAAeiCo Va
electricity mas been so rapid that men who
are we'll versed in other sciences are com
paratively ignorant concerning that which is
goi on in the field of electricity. One of
the latest experiments in rapid transit is the
Weems electric railway, the projectors of
which have been so successful with their
initial plant near Baltimore that
they propose having another, on
a larger scale. On the Baltimore
road, two miles in length, 24-inch gauge, a
speed of two miles minute is made der
the Weems system with all ca e, aud it is
claimed that a maximum speed of four to
five miles mi ute can be attained, or, in
other words, that the distance between New
York and Chicago could be traversed in
about three hours. Estimating the distance
by rail between Savannah I'd New York
to be 1000 miles, it would require only
about one-third of the speed claimed to be
possible under the Weems system for citizen
of Savannah to be able to eat his breakfast
at home and his supper in New York. 1t
is true that the Weems system contemplates
at present the carrying of mail matter and
light freight only, the necessity for train
hands, ETC., being obviated, but the carry
ing of passengers is only a question of time

It's Final Effect.
From, the Nelv York Star.

The presence of Francis Murphy, the temper
ance advocate, in the city recalls to mind an in
cident in his career Murphy started his first
great crusade in Pittsburg some years ago, He
was a little hot-headed and impuisive, and his
teachings were not characterized with quite the
broad charity for all of his later days He made
enemies of the saloon keepers aud brewers The
beer gu stion was a big one in Plttsburg politics
at that time, as it is now, and Robert j. Liddell
a prominent brewer, was candidate for mayor.
and shortly afterward was elected. A short
time asterward Murphy was holding meetings
in Buffalo, and some one telegraphed Mayor
Liddell as follows:
Mayor of Pittsburg. what effect did Francis
Murply's crusade have upon Pittsburgh
Liddell telegraphed back a. once:
1T elected me, a brewer, mayor by 40 900 ma
jority."
few years later, the whole town welcomed him
ami Iiddell's popularity and political influence
were gone for all time.

The Case of Martha Olsen.

1t is not very clear whether Martha
Olsen, who died in Brooklyn of typhoid
fever the other day, was follower of tn
faith curists or Of the christian scientists.
The difference between the two so-called
sects is this: The faith curists belle 70 that
disease must be cured by faith and PRAYER /;
christian scientists believe that there is no
such thing as disease On one point they
agree, and that is that medicine is not
needed
Martha Olsen had no faith in medicine.
therefore when she became i'll she refused to
take it. She was young woman OF e. d
constitution. While occupying the posi-
ton of a domestic in Brooklyn, she be-
came i'll with a severe type of typhoid
fever, and she insisted at once upon being
removed to the home of some friends VIII }
had the same notions concerning medicine
that she had. At this home.
confined in small third-story
room, the disease gradually reduced
her strength and Slapped her vita ity, but
her frie DIS refused to call in a physician,
and she insisted that she would not see one.
Finally, however, her case became kno yn
10 one, VINO c leo an wrote prescription.
The prescription was not filed, and within
few days Martha Olsen died. Her friend
have been arrested on the charge of being
responsible for her death.
This is only one case of many that have
become known lately. The religious fanat-
iclsm which has found lodgmsnt among the
faith curists and the christian scientists
seems to be spreading, and in some sections
people are becoming aroused to the neces-
sity for checking it. Quite a number of
people have died because they would not
take medicine, or were not allowed to have
medical attention, and the conviction is be-
coming strong that the parties who in the
future withhold medicine from patients
must be dealt with by the courts. Toe faith
curists and christian scientists are to be
found pri lcipally In the north.
