The Southern Express Company is
about the most graspipg and merci'ess
monopoly Of the age. and we cry aloud
for national legislation TO relieve the
people from its oppression. The govern
ment should establish parcel express
to carry small packages by mail to every
post-office in the land and thus put
down the oxorbitant argos OF this re-
morseless Southern Express Company.
The people are more than willing to pay
for government parcel express

Now, as never before, there are two
classes of men in the Republican party,
each inspired by direct personal interests,
and those interests opposed to each other,
and each class Jealous of the influence OF
the other. One wishes to bind closer the
tariff chains that have held the country,
the other, CALLED by those bonds, wishes
to loosen them. Not a step can be taken.
not move can be proposed, that will be
scrutinized by both and opposed by one
Of these classes. The result will not be
pleasant for those who are responsible
for the policy Of the Republicans, but it
will be instructive, and in the long run
beneficial for the country New YORK Times.

daughter Of the Confederate leader had
been gwen very cool welcome at ono or
two houses, and this was resented by Mr..
Wilkinson, who championed her cause

Miss Davis Is not, in the general ac-
ceptance OF the term, a "beautiful" wo-
man, but she is distinguished looking.
Her face Is orientally oval and her COM
plexion olive. She has dark brown hair
and large intellectual brown eyes that
grow eloquent with expression whenever
she discusses subject in which she is
interested. Her voice il Of the soft,
sweet southern variety. and il particu-
lhIly fascinating, as II seems to have
gained slight French accent during her
sojourns abroad. In repose her face il
grave and thoughtful, but when lighted
up by smile it becomes girlish and viva
cious. She is tall, her figure is graceful
ly rounded, and her carriage stately. Her
hands and feet are small, the latter being
strikingly noticeable by reason of the
highly arched insteps. She dresses rich
ly but quietly, with no desire TO attract
attention. Her language is as expressive
as her eyes. She is skilled fencer at
repartee and a charming story teller.
In her words and acts she expresses
the utmost respect for the social forms
and conventionalities Of her native sec
tion. Besides English she speaks Ger
man, French and Spanish. OF her abil-
ity as conversationalist, a lady who met
Miss Davis during her northern visit said
recently; "The naive way in which she

An Irish City Abandoned.

The facility with which the miners
and settlers Of western America could
establish or abandon town has long
been theme for all sorts of articles,
from the ephemeral statement Of the
daily newspaper to the solid and verified
record Of the painstaking historian, but
nothing in the way Of "boom" cities can
surpass the pace recently set by a noted
Irish municipality. Every one, of course,
has heard Of Tipperary The place was
owned by Arthur Hugh Smith Barry,
and he drew therefrom $45 900 annually
in rents.
His methods as a landlord became OBJ
noxious to his tenants. They hired a
large tract of land on neighboring es-
tate for nominal sum, gave contract
to Dublin builder to put up all the
requisite houses, stores, churches and
schools, named the place New Tipperary,
and moved. The old city has not a man,
woman or child left in it. The fitting
was made the occasion Of great cele-
bration, in which prominent home rulers
took part. Slnith-Barry now claims the
right under an old feudal grant to desig-
nate the market place, and so the bitter
controversy is not vet settled.

ing and Of continuous labor with tho

would be the best medicine, and the fair
invalid went to Europe us the guest Of
Mrs. Pulitzer, of New York city. Two
months ago Mr.. Wilkinson, with whom
she had corresponded since tho date Of
their meeting at Syracuse. followed her
across the ocean. He pressed his suit,
she yielded. and before his return to
America they had plighted their troth.
Miss Varinah Davis, better known to
the world ut large as WINNIE" was
born at the presidents mansion in Rich
mond. Va, while tho guns OF contend
ing armies thundered about the Virginia
capital From the circumstances sur
rounding her birth she received the title
of the Daughter Of the Confederacy."
While yet little more than an infant she
was taken with the other members Of
her family on that historic fight south
ward which ended in the capture Of Mr..
Davis by the northern forces. At the
age Of 10 she was sent to seminary in
Carlsruhe, Germany, where she spent
several years in the requirement Of q
thorough and finished education. On
her return she became and remained,
until her departure short time previous
to his death, her fathers chosen compan.
ion and friend.

Aiiss DAVIS Is now about ~ years OF
age. Mr.. Alfred Wilkinson is nearly 90.
He is graduate Of Harvard and q pateat
lawyer by profession, his business part
ners being George Hey and Arthur Par
sons. He Is Of medium height, has dark
hair, dark blue eyes, not very heavy
dark mustache, and q rather fair COM
plexion. His father, John Wilkinson,
was appointed revenue collector for one
Of the districts Of central New York by
Abraham Lincoln. The senior Wilkin-
son was originally Republican, but
afterwards supported Tilden for gov
ernor.
Young Wilkinson's grandfather, Rev.
Samuel J. May, rs the associate and
friend Of Phillips and Garrison, aided
Miss Prudence Crandall when, at Canter-
bury, Conn.,, In 1888, she transformed her
"young ladies' seminary" into a school
exclusively for colored girls. The affair
created tremendous sensation at the
time and bcgot indictments and lawsuits
without number. DR.. Mays career as

to several European countries. When
