Telling an Imported Cigar.

HOW often you hear a man say that he can
tell imported from domestic cigars by looking
at them. have been over ten years in the
business, but never felt equal to making such
BOAST as that. Some time ago my father was
IN Washington, and while there was one day
taking TO three other gentlemen. One of them.
after making declaration as outlined above
TOOK three imported cigars from his pocket and
passed them around for inspection at the same
time saying that no one ever fooled him as TO
whether cigar was imported or not
Meantime his cigars were laid on the table
ana my father, watching his opportunity
quietly took the cigars from the tabls mnob
served and substituted three of his own do.
nestle cigars, and laid them in the same place
me conversation soon reverted to the three
cigars In question. and the boaster, turning 10
them, said Now, gentlemen, these cigars
are imported, and IN tell You why" and he
then took them up and went on explaining the
various points as to size. shape, color, taste.
smell. etc. '
AS he concluded my father quietly said 9.
How much Mr.. Blank, would you be willing
to bet that those were imported cigars 80 Ten
dollars, said the expert II don't want your
money but do want to convince you you are

NINE and they are domestic. Here are yours -
said the puFloiner, as he pulled them out of his
pocket The experts face turned pale and
then red, and he was the picture of confusion.

'Wanted, a private secretary. One who
knows his position" That is the advertise
ment which Senator Quay may insert in
the newspapers. The senator's private Sec
rotary is Mr.. Frank w. Leach, but accord
ing to report Mr.. Leach has become such a
great man in his own estimation that Seua-
tor Quay has no further use for his services.
He even imagines himself greater man
than Quay, and that is an objectionable
offense, SO far as Quay is concerned. Last
fall Mr.. Leach was intrusted with some of
the money which Brother Wanamaker
raised in Pennsylvania, and was sent to
North Carolina with instructions to use the
funds to break the solid south. He
didn't break the solid south--a greater
man than Leach couldn't; but he succeeded
in getting a very exalted opinion of his
importance in politics, and since then he
can hardly find hat big enough for him.
1t is said that he will be let down easy by
being placed upon the rolls of the sergeant
alarms of the Senate.

Soap Factories for the South.

A southern industrial journal was asked
the other day to suggest an industry for the
south that would not necessitate a large
outlay of capital. 1t suggested soap
making.
The suggestion is one that ought to be
adopted in many localities where such an
in dustry has not already been established
Every year southern people buy large
quantities of soap from the north, when
they could just as well manufacture that
article them selves, and not only keep 10 the
south the money paid for it, but afford
profit for southern people engaged in its
manufacture, increase southern industrial
activity and furnish employment for
workmen.
The cost of soap In each family is small,
but in the aggregate the amount paid for
it in the south in year is quite large.
Suppose family spends $40 a year for
soap" says the Manufacturers Record,
land there are 200 families in a town, 81, 600
goes out of that town every year that
should stay at home. In such town a
soap factory would be paying investment,
for it would command not only the local
tIdue, Dut dISO C0DSlQeTa&0 from the aQ-
joining country" Almost any building that
would keep out the rain would do for a
factory, and the outfit would be compare
lively inexpensive.
Cotton seed oil is admitted to be excellent
for soap making, better, indeed, than the
mixture of putrid greases generally used
for that purpose, and the other ingredients
can be had in almost any southern town. A
Chicago firm buys thousands of barrels of
rosin from the south each year, and sends it
back manufactured into soap. The estab-
lishment of soap factories in the south
would open up a market in this section for
the rosin. and keep at home the money the
southern people pay for rosin when they
buy it back in soap from northern manu-
facturers.
Towns that are seeking new industries
should give attention to the matter. We
have here the materials and the facilities
for almost all kinds of industries, and the
people are rapidly learning how to utilize
them

Came to Grief

ARIZONA Kicker. in the Detroit Free Press.
The suit OF the Widow Gibbs against US for
preach or promise, damages, SIS, 900 came up
In court last Friday. This suit was instituted
SIX months ago by the court house ring, which
mas sought our downfall ever since the first
issue OF this papsr. That is they put the widow
up to sue Us, and have advanced the money as
IL was needed. When the widow was put on the
stand, she testified that on the night o: Feb. Fl
Io-I, we asked her to marry US. She insisted
Vhat the GATE was Correct, and that nothing
could change her mind about it. We then ex-
NOTED the records of the jail to prove that on
that day and night. and ON all next day and
next night, we we're prisoner having, as some
OF our readers may remember, departed from
the line OF propriety and gone on a bender
This exhibit knocked the widow out in the first
round; ana confounded her supporters, and we
don't believe they will tackle us again after
that fashion. As for the widow, she was only

A Despicsble Father.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
There was an educational scene down at the
depot the other day between a man and a boy.
but It was the man who needed the education
not the boy. The boy came there to meet his
father. and failed to bring some pece of bag
gage which was expected. Il did Just as YOU
told me to, papa" said the little fellow. who
was manly little chap. Il told John to get
1t and put it in the carriage, and he didn t
do it,"
=! don't believe you're telling me the truth. ="
SAID the father in loud, bullying tone. You
forgot to say word about it, and when get
home III settle with you"
But, father, I did,
Hush up" said the man sternly. while the
boy cheeks flushed and his eyes filed with
tears
At that moment the man John. who seemed
to be family factotum, or coachman, came
into the depot, and the father asked him about
the matter
= Fred is right, SIR said the man, candidIy;
ne told the about it, but had a good bit to do
an 1t slipped my mind. You can blame me, sir
If it's wrong"
Did the father then turn to his little son and
asked 20 be excused for doubling his word and
speaking SO harshly? Not bit of it. He looked
as angry as if he wished his son had been wrong,
and the passengers waiting there were sorry for
the future of that boy.

st. Louis has made sensation out of a
pamphlet circulated recently in that CITY
by DR.. Holland, the pastor of st. Georges
Episcopal church. DR.. Holland attacked
republican institutions as they exist in this
country. On Thanksgiving day he preached
q sermon which has brought him into still
greater notoriety. He said that the union
was a despotism under boss rule, with a
monarch mis-named president, and added
MANY of us have not made up our minds
that hereditary rulers, removed from the
influence Of practical politics, are not, after
all, better than despots. whom the people
think they choose, but who, in reality, are
thrust upon the country by tricksters.n 1t
is fair to conclude that, in DR.. Hollands
opinion, we have not much to be thankful
for as nation.
