You have no idea, Mr.. KEENAN, said Capt
Nlkolin, how INSCRIPTIONS they are, and how
much criminal skill tney show in concealing
forbidden Things and in smuggling letters into
and out OF prison. Suppose that you were going
to search a political convict as thoroughly as
possible, how would you do it,"

make careful examination of his clothing

Would you look in his ears!'

According to the Philadelphia Record, it
is Senator Cameron who wants to retire
from the Senate. and not the politicians and
people who want to get rid of him. The
Record says that he never did care much
for public life, and that he remained in the
Senate only because his father desired that
he should. Now that his father is dead, ne
will follow his own inclination, and will re-
tire. Senator Cameron is in Europe, and
probably no one is authorized to speak for
him. 1t may be said, however, that if he
wants to be reelected, he will have a strong
following, and that his enemies will have
to hustle around at an exceedingly lively
rate to defeat him. OF the two Pennsylvania
senators, Mr.. Cameron commands a great
deal more respect from the people of the
country

Senator Wade Hampton is a good story-teller.

only man who has had the temerity to tell the
President an impious tale. and Gen Harrison

good enough to tell a Sunday school class.

The story Senator Hampton told was an army
story-not particularly new and fresh, but new
to the President.
One day .uring the war, said the senator,

Senator Chandler doesn't seem to be in 6
hurry to reply to Senator Faulkner's state
ment concerning the Chandler Blackburn
affair, but he loses no time in jumping or
ex-Congressmen Gallinger, who, he says
was directly responsible for the attack
made upon him recently by one or two re,
publican legislators in New Hampshire.
He proposes to investigate the matter fully,
and to give the public the result Of his in
vestigation. Chandler pretends to be very
indignant because he was accused of buy
ing votes, but it stands to reason that a
man VINO would deliberately make a false
statement IN personal affair like that be-
tween him and Senator Blackburn would
hardly hesitate to buy votes.

Much the same objection is urged against

The New York Star advances curious
theory why Yale defeated Harvard In the
yacht race the other day. 1t says: "Some
time ago it was published that, as part of
his scientific training, the Yale coach, Bob
Cook, had taken his crew to have their noses
bored. Before that the men snored and
tossed about in their sleep, aud pulled and
wabbled in the boat in a way that was dis
tressing to the straightforward ideas of Mr..
Cook. Profound reflection convinced him
that the difficulty was that, like other
men, they had to follow their noses,
and that, the said noses being
crooked, they could rot row straight.
Now, next to giving a man with crooked
nose a brand-new one, is the modern inven-
ton of drilling out the nose so that the
breath comes freely and naturally and
there is no more tendency to snore. puff, or
breathe irregularly.n SO the men were
taken to New York, their noses were drilled,
they slept soundly, felt well and strong all
day, and on the occasion of the race they
neither pulled nor wabbled i'll the boats,
but rowed straight to victory. Does the

1t Promotes the General Welfare.

1t Promotes the General Welfare.
IL Is a mistake to suppose that the ''nO
fence" law works to the benefit Of the rich
and TO the injury Of the poor, and yet
good many people entertain that belief.
A day or two ago a correspondent Of the
MORNING NEWS, writing in advocacy Of
"fence," and referring 10 a statement that
IN Putnam county, Georgia. since the "ao
fence" law went into effect, the value
OF cattle had become second only to that Of
the cotton crop, intimated that the county
had not been really improved, and that the
rich had become richer and the poor poorer.
he evidently is unfamiliar with the facts.
A former citizen of Putnam, who lived in
the county both before and after the mo
fence" law went into effec., aud who knows
nearly everybody there, tells the MORNING
NEWS that mo fence" has been blessing
70 the people, irrespective Of the amount Of
worldly goods possessed by each one Of them.
That 1t has added to the general welfare Of
the county is attested by the fact that the
idea Of returning to fence" IS never seri-
ously considered by anyone. The senti-
ment in favor Of "no fence" is not confined
W huS particular Cidos, DuL - general. DE-
fore the law was adopted there were peo-
pie who were afraid it would
injure them, just as there are in
all counties which have not adopted
it, but fair trial of the law has convinced
them that their fears were groundlsss. and
now it is doubtful if even a handful of col
ored people, who usually oppose tie mo
fence law before its adoption, would be
satisfied to have it repealed. People who
have not been directly benefited by it have
been indirectly benefited, for what is for the
good Of the people at large is good for the
individual
What is true of Putnam is true of every
other county in the state where the law has
been given a fair trial. The people of Chat
ham will make a great mistake if they do
not adopt it, aud these who are inclined to
vote aga INST it slould give the matter
further consideration before voting.
