Appetite Reveals a Secret.

While the Germans were laying siege to Paris,
about twenty years ago, NJ. Theirs came out of
the city to consult with Bismarck about the
proposed capituation, relates the Chicago
AeWs. or course, it was the Erenchmanfs duty
to present cheerful front and to seek to con
vey the impression that things were not in so
desperate condition in Paris as the besiegers
might suppose. On the other hand, Bismarck
pretty well satisfied that the besieged
PariSians were being starved out, Dut of course
he intimated no such thing in the presence of
NJ. Theirs.
Blu atter the conference Bismarck invited
NJ. Thiers to dinner. AID the Frenchman only
TOO gayly accepted the invitation. Then it was
that the W ly German noticed that NJ Theirs
ate voraciousy of the vegetables and breads,
rejected the canned and picked foods, and
partook with seeming avidity of the fresh meat
This confirmed Bismarcks suspicious arts
was starving. After NJ. Theirs went back into
the city there was found in the lavatory ad-
joining the apartment assigned to him at Bis
marck's headquarters part of a Paris news
newspaper it was learned that the &C ndtion of
things in Paris was even more desperate than
had been supposed.
After the retirement of the Germans from
French soil Bismarck tarried for some time al
Stuttgart, and hither came NJ, Jules Ferry to
conference was protracted one, and at times
the discussion was stormy, if not violent. AT
one time Bismarck quite lost his temper and
began to express himself in robust German.
Pardon me, said NJ Jules Ferry, but you
are now speaking in German, and l do moi
understand YOU"
That is true" retorted Bis marck, but sc
long as spoke French you insisted upon mis-
understanding me, and l prefer language
you cannot understand to one that you will mis-
understand"
This sally prodrced laugh, and good nature
was speedily restored.

QuaV'R BaCker.

Mr. Blaine, il seems, is back of Senator
Quay in the latter's effort to have the tariff
bill passed at this session and the force bill
postponed until next. They are a very
smart pair OF politicians, and all the other
politicians of their party are hardly match
for them.
Mr.. Blaine's friends and Senator Quay's
friends-they are, great manufacturing
monopolists-wantt the tariff bill passed at
once, and so Mr.. Blaine and Senator Quay
arranged a little programme Of their own.
1t looks very much as if their programme
would be adopted, though it is by no means
certain that it will be, since the democratic
senators have not yet made up their minds
as to the course they will pursue when
Senator Quay's order is taken up for con-
sideration.
1t is interesting to note the influence Mr..
Blaine has in directing his party. He sug-
gested reciprocity, instead of free sugar
without any condition, and his party will,
in all probability, accept the suggestion.
He prompted. it is understood, Senator
Quay to offer his order relative to pushing
the tariff bill and postponlng the
force bill. and it looks as
if the order would be approved. 1t has
already been approved virtually by re-
! publican senatorial caucus. Although Mr..
Blaine doesn't seem to be able to reach the
presidency, he appears to have more politi-
| cal power than the members of his party
who do reach it,

A Triumph of Electricity.

The practical completion of the count of
the population by the census bureau in so
short time is a triumph for electricity.
Ten years ago the count was not completed
until March, 1881. There are still, however,
1900 districts to hear from, but it will not
take long to count the returns from these
with the lightning tabulators. AS each
name was registered twice the actual
number of names counted in SIX
weeks by the machines was 12S, 900 000
Women as a rule were employed in
doing this work, and it shows that they are
better adapted for it than men. They are
more exact in touch, more expeditions in
handling the schedules, and more ambitious
it appears, to make a record, one young
lady having reached the astonishing total
of 1901 families or about $1,000 persons in
her count.
The work was expedited TO an astonish-
ing degree by electricity, but it is calculated
that the bureau could do still better with a
trained force of operators, and count the en-
tire population Of this country in seven
days; the population of the civilized world,
estimated at csc, 00O, 600, in 100 days, and the
entire population of the earth, which, in
GLIDING Asiatics and savages, is estimated at
300, 900, 900, in less than 200 days, providing
places could be found to store the schedules
The count Of the population in the time il
was accomplished is one of the marvels of

A Very Good Drink. .

Gen. Logan used 10 tell an interesting anec-
dote about Sam Ward. said an old-timer the
other evening. relates TO the New Haven Regis
ter. Ward. you know, always male il a habit
in giving one Of his entertainments to have q

thing decidedly unique. IL was either wonder

reef. an exQuisiJelY carved piece of frozen
cream. or some rare old wine Ward was a
splendid story teller, and his manner as every
body who knew him Knows, was simply Charm
ing.
Well, one evening Gen. Logan was present
at oEe OF Wards suppers. After the VINE was
nrst produced Ward went to the sideboard and
produced a queer-lOoEin- flask containing
pint Of liquid. He placed the glass before him
and called the attention of the company TO ITS
peculiar shape and color. He then reclted
most romantic tale. The flask and whisky were
over 500 years old. They were the property OF a
French king, who presented the FL SIX filled WITH

some strangely fortunate way. had secured
possession of il. Ward was at least ten minutes
telling his story. and when be concluded every
body was much impressed The flask was
passed around and diminutive glasses were set
before the guests. each of whom took small
nip. As they drank it down lips were snacked
approximately. heads were nodded significantly,
and every one declared it the finest by far he
had ever drunk.
Now Gen. Logan was just a little skeptical
as to Wards story IL was altogether too
romantic to 60 down with the practical general

The Challenge.

Dora Reade GoodaIe in Independent
"Yond same cloud cannot choose but fall b,
pailfuls. The Tempest.
Twas August, and a burning drought
Had shorn the luSty hopes of man;
With every noon that fired the south
The winding river lower ran.
The birds were hushed, the wells were dry,
The pond sunken mirror lay,
And lilac flashes lit the sky
Where rain was none-at shut of day.
Yet, tho the wild fowl cease to sing,
Or toad and bat the daylight shun,
Full many a snake and creeping thing
Will dazzle in sultry sun.
The lizard left his green retreat,
The turtle bask ed beside the corn,
And gnats and flies that love the heat,
ShrIled in the hedgerows night and morn.
At last, change! The air grew chill
Low thunder broke the long repose;
And with the sound, behind the hill
A wind, a smoke, a vapor rose;
cloud in form fastastic bent;
A cloud, with lightning i'll its breast;
A cloud that spread its somber tent
And screened the skies from east to west.
And now light fragments rode the gust
That swept its edges, ssy-liued;
White pillows of advancing dust
Announced the tempest close behind,
We caught the whir OF brittle wings,
The sound OF wings and flying feet,
AS bird and beast and creeping things
In cave or crevice sought retreat.
A moment sank the empty gale
Far flashes pierced their purple shroud,
When, from the brake, the thirsty quail
Sent up its challenge to the cloud

Save the river and Ferbor BIN

It looks very much as If the republican
! leaders Of the House had determined e
postpone the river aud barbor bill until
next session. The rule reported by the com
mittee on rules on Tuesday, and adopted by
the House, designating the bills which shall
be taken up does not mention the river and
harbor bill. The friends OF that bill called
attention to the fact that no time
was set apart for its consideration
and expressed fear that there would be no
opportunity for considering it. AaJ- Nc
Kinley said that the rule would rot shut out
the river and harbor bill, and perhaps II
will not, but it greatly lessons the chances Of
its passage. With this rule the republican
leaders can easily prevent the bill from being
passed at this session.
Speaker Reed controls the committee on
rules, and 1t Is understood that he would
like to have the river and harbor bill post
poned, because there is a fair prospect of a
large deficiency The republicans have
been ex,ravagant in making appropriations,
and have given so much 10 pensions that
the outlook now is that the appropriations
will greatly exceed the revenues. The re-
publicans would not like to enter upon the
fall campaign with record that would en-
able the democrats to say that the republic
ans had not only wiped out the surplus, but
had created deficiency in the treasury.
1t is extremely probable, therefore, that
the programme of Speaker Reed and other
leading republicans Of the House is to post
pone, if they can, the river and harbor bill.
If they we're friendly to the bill they would
have provided in the rule adopted on Tue
day for its immediate consideration.
The bill has passed both the House and
the Senate and is now back in the House
for concurrence in amendments made by
the Senate. The House, of course, will
refuse to concur in those amendments. and
the bill will have to 90 to a conference COM
mittee 1t would not take very long to refer
it to such committee. and the fact that it
has been made very difficult to get it before
the House in order to refer it, justifies the
apprehensions of its friends that it is the in
tention of the republican leaders to prevent
its passage at this session.
1t is remarkable that politics should be
allowed to determine the fate Of so i'm
portant bill as this In order that the
democrats may not have the opportunity
in the fall campaign to say that the Repub-
lican congress was SO reckless in making
appropriations that deficiency
was created the great public
works of the country may be
neglected for another year. From such
neglect these works will be damaged many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the
commerce of the country will suffer meal
culable damage. 1t is not to be wondered
at, under the circumstances, that the people
sometimes get tired of their representatives
in congress and earnestly insist upon chang
ing them.

Keep a Sharp Watch at Quarantine

Keep a Sharp Watch at Quarantine.
Cholera is jumping from place to place in
a very lively and uncomfortable way. Yes

ease.
The cholera has pretty firm foothold in
Spain. A dispatch yesterday stated that
death from it had occurred on British

that vessels from cholera infected ports are
wholly free from cholera, they should not
permit them to enter our ports. II

1t is understood that there is great vigi-
lance exercised at the quarantine station
which guards this port. 1t is TO be hoped
that this vigilance is fully as great as it is
represented to be. A case of cholera here
at this time would not only create a sensa-

THE TRADE REVIEW.

For years, on the opening of each sue
ceeding season, there has been presented
evidence of a large increase in Savannah's
business. Heretofore this increase has been
due to the natural growth of Savannah's
tributary territory, a better understanding
of her commercial advantages, and the
gradual enlargement of her two great rail-
road systems. These things will continue to
contribute to her growth and prosperity,
and, in addition to them, there are others,
which have recently come into existence.
that will make the business year of 1S90-91
more notable than any preceding one in her
history.
Since the last trade review of the MORN
ING NEWS there have been built three new
and important railroads to Savannah, or to
connect with her railroad systems. They
are the Alabama Midland. the Savannah
and Montgomery. These railroads have
already brought hundreds of buyers to
Savannah and increased her trade greatly.
But the number of buyers and the amount
of trade which these new railroads will
contribute to her markets when the crops
now in the fields tributary to them are
harvested will be many times larger. The
people will have money then and they will
seek Savannah to supply their wants.
The advanced condition of the cotton crop
justifes the opinion that the business season
will open early and with great activity.
The people are already thinking. probably,
of what they will buy with the fruits of
their labor. They are scanning the columns
of the MORNING News TO sec who are the
live and progressive business men Of Savan-
nah and what they are Offering for sale.
There is large and lucrative trade to be
secured from the territory which the new
railroads have made tributary to Savan-
nah, as well as from the territory which has
heretofore been tributary to her. If our
merchants are wise they will not neglect the
only proper method of getting this trade
That method is liberal Advertising.
The MORNING NEWS proposes to make a
special effort to reach every buyer III the
new field that has been opened by Savan-
nah's enterprise. The agents of the MORN
ING News are travelling through the coun-
try, aud the people are taking the paper
just as rapidly as the mail facilities which
are being established permit them to.
1t is proposed to send a copy of the trade
review to each subscriber to the WEEK. Y
NEWS, as well as TO each subscriber to the
daily, thus giving advertisers the benefit of
both editions at little more than the usual
price of one.
An advertisement in a newspaper Is an in
vitation to buyers to call. 1t virtually says,
when you are in town please call on us.
We have all these things to show you"
The annual review will contain the usual
resume of the business of the city for the
last year 1t will be sent to thousands OF
people who are Interested in Savannah's
welfare and prosperity.
The Trade Review edition will be issued
Sept. 4. Space in its columns can be OBJ
tanned upon application to the business

fine looking and representative men from
all parts of the state. The Odd Fellows orde r
is a very excellent one, and is in most
prosperous condition. In this city alone,
during the last year, as many as 800
members have been added to it, and
as many as 1000 in the state. 1t is q
wealthy and a benevolent organization,
and its members are picked men. The
reason why it is prosperous is apparent. 1t

llshed upon a solid foundation, and it will
grow greater and stronger each year. The
visiting members have received a hearty
welcome in Savannah, but not more hearty
one than they are entitled to.
