FRENCH SLEEPING-CARS.
They Are Not Up to the Standard of Our
Pullman Wagner Coaches.

| They Are Not Up to the Standard of Our
Pullman or Wagner Coaches.
The charge for a bed in the sleeping
cars from Basle to Calais, is about 19
| francs, and from Basle to Paris, for
some occult reason, francs more. By
one of those extraordinary arrange
ments that can exist only in countries
whore nobody trusts any body, and
every body is suspected by every body
else, even the unfortunate traveller who
has hired bed at 9:15 is not allowed
to turn into it until 1880, the reason
assigned being that at the French
frontier the ''small baggage must be
examined, and if people were allowed
to "turn in" before the examination
took place there is no saying what
amount of tobacco and laces and the
rest OF it might not be secreted in or
under the bed by the tourist or by the
servants of the sleeping-car company.
When, however, the conventional cer-
emonial of affirming that you have
nothing to declare" has been gone
through and your dressing-bag has
been defaced by hieroglyphics in white
chalk, then the operation of bed-mak-
ing in the wagon-lits commences. Any
one who has watched it will be disposed
to cXclaim, with Macbeth: "Sleep no
more" In small and sometimes
filthy den narrow cushions and hard
pillows of hoar antiquity are prefunc-
torily covered with shabby rug and
a sheet, and under a covering of a SIM
liar character the traveller who has
paid more than FL for this extraor-
dinary indulgence is invited to betake
himself to slumber. If he happens to
have travelling companion they can
procure the luxury, such as it is, of
privacy, though one of them, on the
Dogberry principle, must needs sleep
on the upper shelf, which is an exper-
fence several degrees more painful
than lying on the lower one. If the
number of passengers be not equal to
the number of beds they will be able,
by bribing the person in charge, to get
four-bed compartment, and thus both
will avoid the torture of being sus-
pended from the ceiling.
AS rule these vacant compartments
are to be had by tipping the dirty Of
fetal in charge of them and thus, per-
haps, for 25 shillings apiece two people
can secure the mitigation of misery we
have described. One of tho main in
ducements to many people to have re-
course to n wagon-lit is the belief that
at any rate in the morning they will be
able to have "a good wash" and will
thus emerge from the train the simula-
tion of civilized being instead of AN
unwashed. unkempt, unshayen SAVAGE.
Morning throws a fuller light ON this
pleasing anticipation. AS some of our
correspondents point out, the .lavato-
ny" arrangements in the sleeping cars
between Basle and Calais and between
Basle and Paris are abominable beyond |
description, and can not be turned to
the slightest account by any one of the
most ordinary fastidiousness. London

About one week sgo a colored man
graduated at the University of Penn
sylvania as doctor of medicine, and
this fact goes to show the great pro-
gress made by the colored race within
the last quarter OF century. This
man was at one time waiter at a sea-
side resort, and managed to save
enough from his earnings and "tips'
TO pay for collegiate course. He was
ambitious. and unhesitatingly started
on his career, but he had many diff.
culties to surmount. among which
was the prejudice against his color.
But he managed to work his way
through, and graduated with an excel
lent average. This goes to show what
the colored people are capable OF
under the influences of education, and
that they are fitted to be something
more than mere chattles. We very
much doubt if any people in the world
could have made better, or greater pro-
gress In the last two decades than they
have.

for the purpose OF urging the appoint

standing the objection of some of the
members, who probably are uuaccus-

committee was granted respectful
hearing, and the City Solicitor was
afterwards instructed to draw up an
ordinance creating an office OF this

The experience of Mr.. Symonds, a
reporter OF the Philadelphia Inquirer,
who personated crazy actor and was
confined for nearly week in the Phil
adelphia Insane Hospital, shows that
the testimony Of medical experts on
insanity is Of very little use. When
Mr.. Symonds, in following out his
plans, harangucd crowd in the street
and was taken to police station, he
was examined by DR.. Andrews, v he
had no hesitation in pronouncing him
insane. AS he did not seem to have
any friends he was committed to the
hospital and examined by DR.. Mills,
who said that he was 'as crazy as d
LOOM" This physician no doubt made
q careful examination OF the patient, as
it was his duty SO TO do, and after this
examination designated the ward in
which he should be confined. But the
man was not crazy, and was only play
ing the part for purpose. 1t will be
remembered that this came Dr.. Mills
was brought to this city TO testify as
an expert 10 the sanity OF Riedcl, the
man who murdered his wife and
child.
When he gave his evidence he said
that he had not the slightet hesitation
In pronouncing him insane, but the
Jurors, who had more faith in THEN
own good common sense than they
had in the theory OF an expert, right
fully convicted him us he was indicted
and he was justly executed. Now, i
man In the employ OF n neWspapel
can 80 feign insanity as to deceive no
only this expert, but several others
how much more 80 can it be done by
man who knows that his lie depend
upon itY AL this goes to show tina
very little faith can be placed on til,
evidence OF experts in cases of thi
kind, and that juries should Away
accept it for just what it is worth, an,
no more. Unless such testimony i
corroborated by those who have beef
in daily contact with the accused, i
certainly is not worth much.

In November, 1890, there will be an
important election in this State, and
every Republican should see that he is
prepared to vote. In addition to a
member of Congress there will be a
Governor, members Of the Legisls-
ture, O majority of the members OF the
levy Court, sheriff and coroner to
elected, and if every Republican
will do his duty now these offices can
and will be filled by Republicans. The
duty you are now asked to perform is
simple and easily accomplished, and
consists in paying your tax and taking
care OF your receipt afterwards. a tax
paid now will entitle the holder to vote
at the very important election in 1890,
and the thousands of Republicans in
this county who are, and have been
disfranchised for years, have the OPP
pOItunlty not only to qualify them
selves to vote, but also 10 help elect
men who will repeal these laws, which
make it possible for two or three men
TO disiranchise thousands OF their fell
low citizens.

The course adopted by the Bourne
Mills OF Fall River, Mass, toward
III cir employees might be followed with
excellent results by other corporations
and employees throughout the country.
This company determined some time
ago to share the profits with their en-
ployes, and in pursuance of this plan
have issued circular, OF which the
following is an extract:
1.-THE president and board of directors
of this corporation offer you share in
its profits for the six months CON mencing
July, 1889, to January, 1890. Tie exact
details have not bsen yet determined, but
1t is proposed that every man, woman and
child continuing in our employ for the
above time, shall receive some share OF
the profits, to be paid in cash on the 10th
OF February, 1890, ia proportion to the
wages earned for the whole six months,
and that the rotal amount divided shall
not be less than per cent. OF the amount
OF cash uivi ends declared and paid IL
the stockholders during the same time
The ouiy condition required to participate
in the above en- your part Will be faithful
and continuous service, except when ex
cUsed on account OF sickness or any SUN
cient reason. The expectation is tina
you will ieei and take au interest in tn,
success ard prosperity, which by thi
plan you will share with the stock
holders"
A similar plan was adopted som
time ago by Juhn WGnamaker, and h
recently divided about one hundred
thousand dollars among his employees
The consequence is that every EN-
ploye lee.s tnEl Ae has direct interes
in the business beyond his persona
salary, ana viii give greater attentio
to the discharge Of his duties. Tn
10 one OF the methods that will lend
great measure TO unite capital an
labor, and when the bond is cUmple

ployers and employes Will be I'll
