Important Newspaper CONSOLE
datiOn.

\ dispatch from Jackson under
date of October 18th says:
a sensation was created here to-day
among Journalists, political and bust
ness circles by the announcement in
the Commonwealth of the consumma-
ton of triple newspaper league, be-
ing no less than, the consolidation of
the Commonwealth, the New Missis-
sippian and the New Farmer the
official organ of the State Alliance.
The two former journals Jointly pur-
chased the latter, and merge the three
into one. This consolidation has been
sanctioned by the State Alliance, and
the new paper made its official jour
nal. No journalistic enterprise of
equal magnitude and Importance was
ever before organized in this State.

Suit on Hemingway's Bond.

The attorney general has filed a bill
in the chancery court of this count,
against w. l.. Hemingway, late treas =
urer, and the surctics on his last and
next to last bonds in which he seeks
to have the suretics interplead to de-
termine which bond is liable for the
insurance deposits. The States the
DRY is that the insurance deposits were
used up prior to January, 1886, but in
view of the uncertainty about it it is
claimed chancery has jurisdiction.
The bill also seeks to set aside the
conveyance made by Hemingway of
all his property i'll time to indemnify
his suretieS as well as the deeds made
by him and the trustee afterwards to
his attorneys for legal services and to
subject all the property to the pay
ment of the amount owing by Hem
ingway in excess of the penalties of
the bonds. The defendants are de-
murring vigorously. Suit was begun
at the last term of the circuit court oil
Hemingway's last bond. Penalty of
the combined bOnds-that is the last
two terms-is $3.50, 000.00-and the

Italian boy somewhere in this town who
can give almost any one points on this

The Italian shot after the negro, and
much loud talk ensued, during which the

three trains went by.
"Come, hurry up there, at length called
out the chopper; "get your money or slug

Samson and the Iawbone.

In town in New Jersey there used to
live dentist whose name was Samson.
As il to prove that there is something in q
name, this DR.. Samson was a powerful
man, and his mighty right arm never
failed to bring with it whatever his for
cep bad fastened upon. 'As strong as
Samson" had local significance in that
town.
It happened, however, that DR.. Samson
did not like references to the significance
of his name. Like many other men
whose names 'tmean something" he had
heard these jokes until he was heartily
tired of them
One day townsman came in who had
q tooth to be pulled. The patient was
q foppish, rattle headed fellow, who tried
to keep up his courage by putting on

Miseovernment of Cities.

1t cannot be denied that our unrestricted
suffrage makes the problem difficult here
than abroad ; but the difficulty is not in
surmounsable. and it is not, as it is often
claimed to be, the chief cause of our
troubles. We are in the habit of charg-
ing all our worst evils to the combined
ignorant and corrupt vote, but there is
not city in the land in which that vote is
not many thousands less than the COM
bined intelligent and honest vote. The
trouble is that the latter vote, mislead by
party names and party issues which have
no bearing upon questions of municipal
rule, is about evenly divided in most mu-
nicipial elections, and is thus deprived Of
nearly all its influence. When the happy
day shall come that the respectable voters
of our cities join hands and say that hence
forth they will know no politics in the

Life can but wear its saddest pail;
When hearts once bound are rent in twain,
No more to meet on earth again,
When earth reclaims our dearest one

And yet, when standing by the grave,

We lift the veil and through our tears

Look brightly DER the golden strand

Needed Abnegations.
THE CONFLICTING SOCIAL AND PROFE
sIONAL DUTIES OF WOMEN,

THE CONFLICTING SOCIAL AND PROBES
| sIONAL DUTIES OF WOMEN
T. w. Higginson, in Harper's Bazar,
recently discussed the important question
of the conflicting social and professional
| duties of women. Among other pertiaent
things he says:
| One of the most eminent physicians in
| America, when | asked her how she could
| possibly com bine her profession with her
| duties to her young children, proved to
me that her professional calls and Office
hours did not, all told, take so much of
her time from these little ones as was
given by other ladies similarly placed to
what they considered their social duties,
"But, she said, "in order that | NAV do
this, those social duties must be abst3-
lutely ignored. l do ignore them: but |
give great deal of offense by so doing.
Were l man, | should not be asked to
combine them"
IN the same way remarkable woman
VINO carried on large factory in New
England town with the greatest success
told me th>t the strain on her was much
greater than if she had been a man. be-
cause, although she had no children, she
was expected to keep house, to tend sick
neighbors, even to watch with them at
night, rs If she had no other duty. see
no relief for women who feel themselves
bound to some work Incompatible with
their usual feminine occupations except to
make their choice twixt this and that" "
as Emerson says. and forego the one or
the other. Nor is this the end of their
needed abnegations. No one can employ
women in any industry of high grade |
without seeing that they are still embar-
rassed by what in their former more shell |
tered life were their virtues--the shrink
ing from initiative, the habit of minute
economies, of self-abnegation in little
things. 1t Is my experience, for instance,
bat in sending young man to do days
literary work in another town, when bis
expenses are paid, he needs no instruction
Is to having comfortable lunch, giving
,he necessary time to it, and taking cab
II carriage to save time or avoid a wet
ing whereas such duties have to be Ia
ooriously impressed upon a woman and,
sfter all, she usually goes whole day on
cup of tea, and gets Ter feet wet by
Walking where she should ride. She is
'lso less ready to meet an emergency by
Independent action, not tor want of readi-
less, but from long habits of self-distrust.
III these are drawbacks that must be
leared away If women are to compete
With men in what has hitherto BET n mems

hould so compete is not now the question;
Or the bureau of statistics shows it to be I
lready settled.

Remarkable Condolences.

The remarkable story told by ex-Dis-
trict Attorney John w. Johnston, of
Lancaster County, Penn, in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, is not likely to have
many parallels. About three years be-
fore the war, acting on the great
Greeley's advice, young johnson got as
far west as Illinois. His cousins, Frank
Price and Kersey II. Fell, had preceded
him there from Chester County and we're
well established. They put some legal
matters in his hands that needed atten-
ton, and ON April 80, 1857, he found
himself at Decatur, then enough of a
railroad centre to be the intersecting
point of two Illinois roads. Connections
were faulty here, and johnson found that
he would have to lay over the greater
part of the day until the next train came
along. Presently he met another young
man who, it afterward transpired, was in
a precisely similar condition. They fell
to talking and walking together. As a
pair of scales stood near by they jumped
on and were weighed. Each tipped the
beam at 145 pounds. This excited some
surprise, as the one seemed taller than the
other. They then measured their heights.
Each stood five feet nine inches. Still
more remarkable, however, was the
coincidence that now came out, that the
one was born on the same day of the
identical year on which the other was
ushered into the world.
"Well, now," said the surprised young
lawyer, "what's your namel"
"John w. Johnson" came the reply,
''and what's yours"
"John W. Johnson"
So it was that these two young
strangers, accidentally thrown together,
found that their respective weights, ages
and names were identical. Both were
also Pennsylvanians. The Lancaster
John W. johnson vouches for the truth of
this remarkable series of condolences.
He has never seen the other John w.
Johnson from that day to this.

The Newest Thing in Thieyery.

The newest thing in Inspector Byrnes's
line was developed when Detective Wolf
brought in Antonio Frosnello, lad
young in years, but evidently precocious
in crime.
Antonio is an Italian, fourteen years
old. He lives at 102 Mott street, and
for living blacks passengers boots on
the South Ferry line of boats.
Sunday afternoon young Antonio
sauntered into T, Goldesman's photo
graphic gallery, 361 Canal street, and
told the artist that he wanted to sit for
his picture. The lad was attired in his
best Sunday clothes, but his appearance
was not quite in keeping with the impor-
tance of the event. He said that the picture
was to be present to his sweetheart, a
Neapolitan beauty, and he wanted to ap-
pear at his very best. He asked the
photographer TO loan him his watch and
chain for the occasion.
All unsuspecting, the photographer
did so. The picture was taken, and the
operator went into the dark room, leav-
ing Antonio alone. When he came out
the boy had gone, and with him the gold
watch, chain and medals attached, worth

hanging there, and trying to find way
to escape from his prosecutors. The
laEadores are called in to throw him. he
successfully evades their efforts for long
time, and is chased around the ring,
bleeding from a dozen wounds After q
tedious case the animal is roped, thrown
to the ground and dispatched with the
lance-headed dagger. The spectators
file out of the enclosure. Some of the
visitors purchase the banderillos which
have entered the bull and are stained
with his blood. The moro fight the
bull has shown the higher the value
placed on the CORY instruments. Mean
while there seems to be but one opinion
in the minds of the Americans regarding
bull fighting, and that is that it is de-
grading, brutal spectacle, unworthy to
be known as the national sport of civ
ilized people.

WISE WORDS.

Suffrage means liberation.
A fool is always self-possessed.
Contentment is akin to foolishness.
Happiness can only be had by earning
it.
Envy and pride are always on good
terms.
1t is burden to possess unearned
wealth.
Every one can be a master or slave to
himself.
1t is better to be ignorant than to stop
learning.
Life is a continual conflict between art
and nature.
The only way to be both rich and
happy is to earn it.
Happiness is derived from industry
rather than wealth.
A sieve-like brain is convenient for
education in transit.
A lazy man has good authority for
complaining of Others.
The richest man is he who is ON good
terms with his feelings.
1t will not avail at all to find fault
with the result of a free choice.
Success depends upon how much one
can bear without becoming puffed.
Prejudice is as difficult to discover in
ones self as to find virtue in politics.
