New Orleans Gets Il.

The commission appointed to select site
for navy yard on the South Atlantic or
Gulf Coast, has decided in favor Of New
Orleans. The impression has prevailed in
Washington for several weeks that the COM
mission would decide in favor of that city.
Senator Gibson, of louisiana, has been I'M
firing in his efforts in behalf of New Or
leans, and, as ne is a very shrewd man and
is on good terms with many influential re-
publicans, it is not improbable that what
he did turned the scale in favor Of New Or
leans.
Savannah hoped that she might get the
prize, but did not feel certain about it by
any means. She believed, however, that
she possessed more advantages than any
other place, and the decision of the COM
missioners has not shaken her belief There
is no doubt that New Orleans possesses a
good many advantages and perhaps pretty
fairly meets all the conditions demanded.
Port Royal is fortunate in being selected
as a site for dry dock. coaling station and
a depot for naval stores, but she will be
greatly disappointed in not getting the
navy yard. OF course it is by no means
certain that either the navy yard or the
dry dock will be established, though the
chances are they will. Congress may refuse
to appropriate money for them and doubt
less there will be much opposition to such an
appropriation. The report of the commits
sion, however, will have considerable
weight, aud congress may act favorably
upon it's recommendations without great
deal of delay.

A Letter in His Box.
From the Ne,o York Times.

Clerk Peacock of the Hoffman house was
amusing himself yesterday morning with
thoughts of the delightful time he was going to
have in the afternoon, driving his trotters over
the Jersey roads, when he was addressed by an
eaborately-attired young man, and the follow
ing conversation took place:
Letter in my box, see,' observed the young
man.

guished consideration, reaching up for it, and
regarding the superscription with considerable
interest. Mr.. Blank, believe"
That's me-" was the ocular and ingram

Not much," was the prompt reply. ''rH
trouble you to settle now" and it was done
The episode proved that at least one of the
traps for unwary hotel beats is successful. 1t
was laid in this way: When guest leaves his
room without taking time to settle his bill, his
name is placed on a dummy envelope with this
cipher in one corner, Sd b. then follows the
date when he departed from his Indebtedness
The man very generally returns to get his mail
within a very short time, and noticing the
dummy in his box, asks the clerk if there is
anything for A, or whatever numbered room
he may have occupied. He is asked the name
and if it corresponds with that on tie envelope

Why Not q Friendly sustq

The city council has ordered the ground
rent lots to be assessed. In view of the
opinion of its legal adv Tsr it could not have
avoided doing so without virtually saying
that it would arbitrarily exempt from taxa
ton a very large amount of property. Such
a course would have produced great dissatis-
faction, and have caused perhaps very
serious complications.
II is TO be assumed, Of course, that the
holders Of the ground rent lots are willing
to comply with the law. Perhaps a major
ity of them still doubt that their lots can
be legally taxed They have regarded them
as legally exempt very long time. and it
is but natural that they should entertain a
hope that the exemption has rested upon a
legal foundation.
If it is the purpose of the holders Of the
lots TO resist taxation, would it not be ad-
visable for them and the city to make up a
test case at the earliest possible moment
and have the issue determined in the courts!
A decision in one case would be sufficient
There is no reason why the city and the
lot owners should be put to the expense of
trying several hundred suits involving
exactly the same issue. The expense of one
suit would be very little, and as far as the
lot owners are concerned, if divided among
all of them in proportion to their
interests, would be almost nothing. There
is no reason why the suit should not be
friendly one. The council in ordering the
lots assessed has done only its duty, and no
citizen would have it do less than that. 1t
is to be presumed. also, that the lot owners
desire nothing but what is right. OF course,
if the lot owners are satisfied that their
lots are taxable there is no occasion for con-
siderIng the advisability of having friendly

An Astonished Policeman.
From the MinneupoIis Tribune.

Judge Emery tells story partly at his own
expense and partly at the expense of special
policeman. 1t was at the time of a street car
strike, when people were arrested for refusing
to "move on" The judge was walking up
Nicollet avenue when the excitement was at its
heat When near the Nicollet house he met
one or two acquaintances and stopped to talk
with them.
Move on, said special coming up.
'All right" said the judge, Come in here, g"
said he to his companions, as he stepped into
doorway
That did not suit the special, and he fired"
them out. Finding the place decidedly uncom-
Portable the judge left the neighborhood The
next day the special was in court to testify
against some prisoners whom he had arrested
When he saw the judge upon the bench and
recognized him as the man whom he had
ordered to move on, his jaw dropped as far as it
could had ten-pound weight been attached to
it. The judge paid no attention to him, but con.
Quoted business as if nothing had happened

nobody is willing to back Mccartney. He
believes, anyway, that Kilrain is the only
man who is sincere in his desire to meet
Sullivan, and that the next great fight will
be between Kilrain and Sullivan. One of
Kilrain's hackers at Richburg, he says, is
willing to put up 5000 on that pugiliss.
There will be no fighs until after the case

What's the Matter with the Mailsq


The NOR MING NEWS office is flooded with
compl aints of irregular mails. These COM
plants come from South Georgia and
Florida. Here are couple of them that
have just been received:
JASPER, FLA, Nov. II, 1889.
You will never be able to keep sub
scrlbers here SO long as the mails reach here
so irregularly, and so far behind the regular
time. Your paper is now from forty EIGHT
to seventy-two hours behind a great part Of
the time. For instance, the issue Of Nov.
Is has not yet been received. Another of
your subscribers told me yesterday that he
had not received a paper in three days.
ALAPAHA, Nov. 10, 1889.
What is the trouble with the mailss l
never get the paper until the second day
after it is published, and then it comes by
way of Albany.
The people may well ask, What's the
matter with the mails? 1t is simply an out
rage that their mail matter reaches them
two or three days after the time it ought to.
1t would be bearable if this irregularity
were only occasional. 1t seems, however,
that delayed mails are the rule, not the
exception. Is there not some remedy for this
condition of affairsa Does the postmaster
ReueTdl propose 10 IoU IL commune In
definitely without any effort to improve itG
Where are his boosted business methods?
We were led to believe that when he took
charge of the postoffice department the
mails would be looked after with untiring
vigilance, and that there would no longer
be cause for complaint. We have been
greatly disappointed.
OF course the postoffice department can
easily find out who is to blame for the
delays and Irregularities. The railroads do
not run on schedule time, and, hence, miss
their connections. The railroads are aid
to carry the mails according to we'll nm
derstood contract Ought they to be paid
if they fail to comply with their contract9
We had occasion to call attention TO the
bad mail service in this section noarly
year ago and succeeded in arousing the
postoffice department to take some interest
in it. We propose to see if this administra-
ton and this congress are disposed to give
the people of this section a satisfactory mail
service.

Before the blacksmith's shop she waits,

While the good smith with friendly haste
Her horses clumsy shoe is fitting.
He pares and measures, stirs his fire;
His hammer blows ring out with shrillness
Into the August afternoon.
STEPPED in its dreamy twilight stiffness.
With anxious eye she watches him,
Her busy thoughts are homeward straying;
Shadows grow long DER field and road
And weary farmers leave their haying.
High in the elm trees DER the way,
On sunlight boughs the birds are singing
Their cradle songs above their nests,
Within the whispering sweetness swinging.
She knows at home the patient cows
Stand lowing at the bars to greet her.
And anxious goodman scans the road
And sends the children out to meet her.
She knows the supper fire is lit,
The hearth swept clean, the kettle singing,
The kitchen table cleared to hold
The things from town that she is bringing,
And smiles in honest rustic pride
at shrewd hard bargains she 8 been making
OF snowy eggs and creamy cheese,
For cloth and shoes and "tnings for bakin'
The setting sun lights up her face,
Turning its harShneSS into beauty
Picture of rustic peace and pride,
OF homely happiness and duty.
