Mrs. Benjamin Harrison has replied
to all the kilograms of congratulation
she has received on her husbands
election to the presidency by letters in
her own hand and she has not once
complained Of her task, but accounts il
a privilege to be in communication
with friends known or unknown to her
personally.

The gloom which pervades the
White House nowadays is said to he
simply awful. Mr.. Cleveland is still
sore al over, his visitors are few and
ne feels that his party friends are ne
giectlng him. L is just dawning upon
hlm that 1t was his power and patron-
age, and not his personality, that the
place-hunters have been idolizing.
Smyrna times., 1889-01-02

All eyes are now turned to the Hoo
sler capital. The record of the doings
OF the solons at Washington is scanned
with listless interest. "What will
Harrison do? Whom will he call to
his council board ?" These are the
burning questions of the day. The
genius of correspondents, editors, gos-
sip-mongers and garrulous statesmen is
hourly taxed to state the public Gu
riOsitY.

Micah Rood's Curse.
AhE STRANGE TRADITION OF THE
APPLES WITH THE BLOOD-RED
HEARTS.

A New Haven dispatch to the New
ork Times says: The advent of :
quantity OF blOOdy-heart" apples into
the Wlndham markets from the hack.
country town of Franklin has resulted
IN the unearthing of an eerie tradition
ABOUT TINS singular fruit, which ha.
FOUND Its way into print. Thev are

they are ofa delicious flavor. SNOWY

been made the subject of Investigation

lOly as the tradition of Micah ROod's
curse"
Micah Rood was prosperous farm.
er at Franklin in 1898. He was avari-
clous, but finally became indolent
spending his time in dreaming over
coveted wealth. One day a peddler
VINO carried pack filled with valuable
lewelry passed his house. His dead
body was found the next dav beneath
an apple tree on Micah's farm. where
the latter was wont to sit. The skull
was split open and the mans pack was
rihed. Rood stoutly denied anv
knowledge of the crime, and although
suspicion attached itself to him. moth
ing was proved against him. He be-
came morOse and moody and never
prOspered afterward.
People wagged their heads when on
the autumn following the murder.
Kood's apple tree commenced to bear
the bloody heart" apples. They said
It was a silent Judgment upon him. and
That the dying peddler's curse upon
the head of his destroyer had come
home to rOOst npon Rood's apple tree.
Nothing like the apples had ever been
seen before. Either the apples or the
suspicion wore the life out of Rood, for
he died soon after they appeared.
Ever since then the tree has lived.

strange apples. 1t is the fruit from
other trees grated from the original

A meeting ives recently held at Biz
miugham, Alabama, Tor the purpose of
recognizing the Republican party in
that State. 1t was largely attended,
and the 81 iyit displayed was very en-,
couraging. The object of the meeting
was TO build up the party in that State,
with protection as the corner stone,
and as Alabama can now be considered
q manufacturing State, it is but ques.
lion OF very short time when it will
cast its vote for the Republican party.
The manufacturers and workingmen
are taking the greatest interest in this
movement, as they fully understand
that their only hope OF success depends
on the protection which alone is guar
anteed by the Republican party. We
believe that this movement will not
only spread through Alabama, but also
TO other States, and that before the
next Presidential election such thing
as the Solid South will be almost UNI
known.

The indications are that the present

the history of this country ior building
railroads According to the Railroad
Age, there are 6G6 new lines Of rail.
roads, with a contemplated mileage of
%. 436 miles that viii be built inslhe
United States during the present year.
There will be 1888 new roads in the
South forl which 1t will require 49,
$50 miles of tracks. In the New En-
gland States there will be 1jj new
lines, with 1904 miles of tracks, and
in the Northwestern States 1877 lines,
with 90 992 miles, The greater part
OF these roads have been contracted for
and all have been surveyed, while
work is already under way On many
of them. These facts show that the
country is in highly prosperous con.

SATURDAY, ApiuL 10, 1850.

The old problem of what to do with
habitusl criminals is agsin receiving
considerable attention in various parts
OF this country. A bill las been intro
duced in the New Jersey Legislature,
which provides that convicts Who have
served the minimum sentence ior q
crime can be released on tickets OF
leave, which, however, will be for
feited for any breach of good behavior
This may be the means of doing some
good, but at the same time there are
causes that will, in great measure,
prevent its being effective. One OF
these is the principle that q man or
woman who is 'once thief is always
n thief" We have no doubt that there
are men who are now serving Il sccond
or third term in jail who would never
have been back after the first time Lad
1t not been for the detectives and other
officers, who bounded them down and
closed every chance of their making
an honest living.
There are no doubt some men who
have, in moment oftemptaiiOn, com
mitted an act which consigned them TO
term in jail. During their imprison-
ment they formed many good Iesolu-
tions, which it Is highly probable
they would have kept had they been
given an opportunity to 90 SO. But
instead of that, they were branded ms
thieves, and if they did secure situa-
tons, word whispered in The en-
ployer's eur secured their discharge.
Then other crimes were committed,
and 1t would not be long until the man
or woman with this experience would
become hardened criminal. There
are OF course criminals on whom kind.
ness has no effect, but we think that
If little more charity were exercised
in the majority of cases, there woult
be fewer criminals.
