W hat q Boy Does.

He comes out at the front door, bright-faced
and happy. He comes out for no particular
reason, says the Washington Capital, save that
he wants to be moving about. He is full of
physical action, and he must get some of it out
of him before bedtime, or he won't be fit to
sleep. He doesn't know this with his head but
his body knows it; for, after all the body does
q good deal of It's own thinking, independently
OF what we call consciousness. He stands on
the step and looks up and down the street He
doesn't know what he is looking for. Indeed be
is not looking for anything. He just looks with
a sort of underlined hope that he will see some
thing suggestive to him of what to do. He
jumps down the steps and goes to the gate hangs
on it moment makes a few sounds with his
voice such as nobody but a boy can make, and
nobody else would make if he could. They
don't mean anything. He makes them because
we'll, because he is boy. AS if he had sud
denly thought of something to do he bangs the
gate open and rusheS down the middle of the
street, yelling like young Indian. But he has
not suddenly thought of something TO do He
has simply done that because he couldn't think
of anything TO do, and must do something
Then he picks up a stone and fires it at a dog
and cringeS and feels sorry il it hits the mark
He doesn't want TO hurt the dog He throws
the stone because he and the dog and the stone
are there, and it is handy to do so For a few
seconds he stands and looks up into a tree at
nothing. Then he breaks into run again, and
suddenly sits down on the curbstone as if he had
accomplished something and was content.

Ex-Gov. James d. Porter, of Tennessee.
has been talking lately upon national poll
tics, subject upon which he is pretty well
Informed. He is thoroughly convinced that
democratic principles are growing in favor
in all parts of the country. He declares
that it is well understood by the people that
tho Republican party is hostile to the south,
and that its tendency toward contradiction
is more marked now than at any previous
time in its history. He believes that if the
democrats in the different states will put
forward their ablest and cleanest men they
will sweep the country in the congressional
elections next fall, and will be returned to
power in 1892

The New York Seventh regiment doesn't
seem to know whether to GO to Richmond
or not on the occasion of the unwilling of
the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee. 1t ought
to make up its mind to do one thing or the
other, without making so much noise about
the matter. There is not one of the regime Mt
who does not think that Gen. Lee was
great and good man, and not one of them
doubts that he was great soldier. If the
majority of the regiment think they ought
not to be present on such an occasion, how
ever, there is nothing easier than to stay
away There is no reason why their decis-
ion, whatever it may finally be, should be
the subject of a great deal of comment,
provided they do not talk too much.

The White Caps are at work again in In
diana. They have lately committed
number of outrages at Washington in that
state. Twenty-Five of them went to the
house of an aged farmer at night, and tax
ing him out of bed, tied him to tree, and
whipped him almost to de nth. 1t seems
that the old farmer had said that promi :
nent local politician tried to bride his son at
a township election. If an outrage like
this had been committed on black man in
the south the northern press would have
made a great outcry.

The New York Sun prints yarn to the
effect that ex-President Cleveland is taking
on fat at the rate of twenty-five pounds a
week, and that he has placed himself in the
hands of a specialist who has undertaken to
reduce his fat by the same methods that
DIR. Schweninger used in bringing Bismarck
from shapeless mass to a shapely figure.
Cleveland's fat is a source of constant an
noyance to the Sem, and the interesting
thing about it is that, although the Sun
gets red hot sometimes, when discussing
Mr.. Cleveland, it never gets hot enough to
melt his fat

Deep Water for Savannah.

Savannah harbor gets $3.50, 900 in the
river and harbor bill. The new project for
a channel of twenty-six feet to the sea is
recognized, and money enough is appro-
priated to justify beginning the improve
ment with a good deal of vigor. Represen-
tative Lester has done well, very we'll.
He has not only done well for
Savannah. but also for the
other harbors and rivers in his district. He
has shown in his first session in congress
that the people in his district did not make
a mistake in sending him to Washington.
His greatest difficulty, probably, was to
get the twentysix foot project recognized.
He not only overcame that difficulty, but
got very handsome appropriation with
which to begin work on the new project.

1t is by nofneans certain yet that the vote
of the presbyteries will be in favor of re-
vising the confession of faith. To insure
revision two-thirds of the presbyteries must
vote for it. The number of the presbyteries
in the Presbyterian church is 211, and but
one-half has yet voted. A majority of
those which have voted favor revision, and
it is probable that the total vote will show a
majority in favor of it, but it is extremely
doubtful if the majority will be two thirds
of the whole vote.

Women Always Return Umbrellas

did you ever know woman to fail to re-
turn borrowed umbrella?" asked a dealer in
these articles. addressing a reporter of the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Il can't say ever did"
'Nobody else ever did, said the dealer, en-
phatically. Il have been a long time in the
business of selling them, and have made a
special study of women in connection with the
borrowed umbrella phase of social ethics, and
l have yet to learn of a case in which she has
abused the confidence reposed in her when she
was lent an umbrella TO protect herself in a
sudden shower. She either returns it in person
or sends it with verbal or a pretty note of
thanks at the first opportunity. When a man
comes in here to buy an umbrella and | get
chatting with him l ask the question:
did you ever lend woman an umbrella"
yes
did she ever return it?''
Yes"
Then go to book l keep for this purpose
and make an entry in this form: 'Interrogated
another to-day tentering the date. Answer:
Lent and returned promptly Here is the book :"
And the dealer showed to the reporter book
with many pages of entries in the form given
covering number OF years

emphasis as the reporter took his leave "a

be productive of u Unhappy results.

There seems to be no urgent necessity for
