Trousers in Her rroussau.

A funny story is told in the New York Journa
of the reasons why certain well-known young
clubman did not attend a reception at Sherry's
the other night.
IL appears that friend of the young mans
sister, who lives in Kansas City, became en-
gagged to marry young man out there. The
wedding ceremony is to take place late this
month, and she commissioned her New York
in making up the wedding trouseau Miss Blank
started out early Friday morning and made the
necessary purchase.
AT O'Clock that evening a box arrived at the
house, and, without opening it. Miss Blank
addressed the box to her friend in Kansas and
had it sent by Adams Express Company
Half an hour after the box had been dis
patched to Kansas another box arrived at the
house
Shortly after its arrival young MI Blank en-
tered and asked if package had arrived.
There it is, said his sister, pointing to the
box in the hail.
Then he told her that he had sent home new
pair of trousers, which he was to wear with his
full-dress suit to the reception, and picked up
the box and went to his room to dress.
Ten minutes later he reappeared in the recep.
ton room, holding the open box in his hands
and evidently indulging in some lively thinking
What's this?" he exclaimed, holding out
pair of silk stockings
The truth dawned on the sister, and she ex-
planned she had sent his package to the pros
pective bride by mistake.
Tony Blank was mad and talked about the
stupidity of women. He didn't go to the recep-
ton. What the bride will think of trousers as
part of her trousseau it would be interesting
to know.

Love.
From t5e WoyId,s Adj,

From the Worlds advance Thought.
Lo! dear my brothers, what shall my heart say
OF love, the fair Christ-fiower laid by God
On each life. for the asking? IT'S crown
To clasp wan brows, and make them beautiful,
And radiant as sun-brimmed May morning
1t is staff to help men up the nights
Where saints sit throned, and fair virgins sing
Each some sweet song, to lutte, or psaltry,
Or Tyre, or cithern. Yea. II is a soul,
Set in the hoart OF life, to guide, and bless,
And make all fair things fairer. all things
sweet
OF more consummate preciousness; god,
Whose service hath called back the golden
days.
Where men sat in the sun. aud luted loud,
For every joy OF living; when clear streams
Ran laughing to the pitchers maidens held
Apoise to catch them, and fair fruited boughs
Shook sun kissed treasures down to waiting
mouths
AS red as pomegranates, and sweeter far.
Yea, more than this is love; it is the Christ,
The very spirit of life, that shuus not death.
But grows the brighter for his hand claspng!
Though we lose all things, see We lose not love-
Without it, all my words were thistledown,
Or tossed sea foam, or breaths of desert sand
Untruitful, save to ride on the wings o. the
wind
Farewell, my brothersl see We lose not love.

The Judge Laughed Last and Best.


A luli in the conversation gave the man from

The Increasing immigration.

More European emigrants are coming to
this country than ever before. According
to our dispatches 5. 800 landed at New York
on Tuesday. This is the largest number
that has ever landed in this county in one
day.
1t is well understood that there is a grow
ing hostility to the more undesirable class
of immigrants. Congress has recently
passed laws to keep undesirable immigrants
out of the country. The laws, however, do
not appear to be very strictly enforced.
One is almost justified in believing that
the immigration commissioners and the
steamship companies that transport emil
grants to this country have an understand
ing that all immigrants which arrive shall
be admitted.
The charge is made, and it appears TO be
we'll founded, that the agents Of the steam
ship companies are chiefly responsible for
the large number of emigrants coming
here at this time. II is asserted
that they have solicitors all through the
countries that are now furnishing the
emigrants, and that these agents accept
anybody who can gather together enough
money to pay his passage. They induce the
people by all sorts of attractive representa-
I'll ons to leave their homes for this country.
The steamships offer very low rates Of
transportation, because what they get for
carrying emigrants is so much clear gain.
They are mainly tramp steamers and have
to come to this country for cargoes
If these statements are true the steam
ship companies are mainly responsible for
the large number of undesirable emil
grants coming here. Instead, therefore, of
sending a commission to Europe to find out
the reasons for the increase in the number
Of emigrants coming to our shores, the
methods employed by the steamship COM
panies to increase their human cargoes
should be inquired into. There is no use
spending large sum Of money to collect in
formation which will be of little practical
value, and which can be much more readily
obtained through our consuls in European
cities.
The immigration evil is reaching vast
proportions. Thousands of people are be-
ing dumped, as it were, on our shore who
are not fitted for taking care of themselves,
and who would be better off, from every
point of view, in the land of their nativity.
The government does not seem to attack
this evil with the vigor it should. Can it
be that the steamship companies WELD a
greater influence than they shouldi Are
the immigration commissioners inclined to
construe the immigration laws leniently,
in order that those companies may reap a
rich harvest, notwithstanding the steadily
increasing public sentiment that inmi-
grants should be thoroughly sifted, and
only those admitted who have the necessary
means to provide for their immediate
wants. and who give promise Of becoming
good citizens. This immigration question
is going to be an important one in congress
next winter.

Monday was tine first time that a colored
man was summoned as juror in the court
of general sessions in New York city.
There are thousands of colored men in that
city. and some of them are very intelligent.
What but prejudice against them has pre-
vented them from being summoned as
jurorsl And yet the New York Tribune
and Press would howl themselves hoarse if
colored men were excluded from jury duty
in any southern city. II these republican
journals should look at home more closely
they would find much more for ed
itorial comment than il the south. But
the exposing Of their inconsistency would
not serve their purpose.

The Woman Handled the Coal Cart

The Woman Handled the Coal Cart
It is wonder to philosophers how women
occasionally come by character that is finer
IN its qualities Of force and nerve than is ex-
pected in the strongest man. says a New York
writer in the St Louis Republican. very
beautiful and fashionably attired lady of not
more than 30 was walking down Madison
avenue alone, when she noticed a burly ruffian
beating horse because the poor brute did not
back up the coal cart TO the mans satisfaction
The sight is common one in the streets OF
New York, and usually goes unrebuked unless
an officer of the society to protect animals
chances along. On this occasion however the
dumb beast in his frantic efforts to act as his
driver wished, aroused the sympathy of lovely
woman, and that served him as well as would

grasped his uplifted arm and faced him with
Stop beating that horse, you brute" she
SAID firmly. He knows more than YOU do and
II you IL let him alone he'll get the cart Just as
you want it.
With these words, she turned and laid her
gloved hand on the bride of the horse stroked
bis nose softly and spoke to HIM gently The
animal Immediately grew peaceful and looked
almost gratefully at his strange friend The
driver was so surprised that he could not
speak, and stood still, staring at the splendid
woman who had nterfered with him The
lady spoke few words in a tone of command
TO the horse, and, exerting light pressure on
ms bit. urged him backward until the wheels of

The Melon Crop.

The move ment of the watermelon crop of
Florida has begun. The first carload, &C
cording to our dispatches, was shipped
Tuesday from Grand Island to Cincinnati.
There will be daily shipments, doubtless,
from Florida until the movement Of the
Georgia crop begins, which will be about
the middle of this month.
The area planted in melons in Florida is
comparatively small, not being much, if
any, over 500 acres. And the melons are
not SO good as those grown in Georgia.
They bring good prices, however, owing to
the fact of their early appearance in the
market.
The Georgia crop Of melons promises to
be good one. The acreage is not as great
as it was thought to be earlier in the season.
Mr.. j. J. Griffin of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia railroad, in recently is
sued pamphlet, places the number of acres
planted in melons at a little more than 3d.
600, and estimates the production,
if the season should be an average
one, at TO- 0O carloads. If the season should
be an exceptionally good one there may be
Il, 900 carloads.
Inc acreage Is UlsIIlOuUou as AOlAOWS'
Tributary to the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, 1896 acres: to the Gen.
trial and its branches, 1895 acres; to the
Georgia Southern and Florida, 1915 acres
to the East Tennessee. Virginia and Geor-
gia, 1882 acres; to the Columbus Southern.
1000 acres; to the Georgia railroad, 500
acres, and TO the Atlanta and Florida, 800
| acres.
There are several reasons for thinking
that good prices will be realized. A great
deal, however, depends upon the handling
of the crop. If it is handled carefully, that
is if only merchantable and ripe melons are
sent to market. and if it is distributed SO az
! not to overstock any one market, the melon
! growers will have reason to rejoice at the
end of the season. II, however, green
melons are rushed into market and the pria-
cipal markets are overstocked, prices viii
drop below the profit point.

The Creed Goat Too Small.

In his sermon last Sunday Rev DIR. S. B.
Rossiter. of the North Presbyterian church,
New York city, said that people have been
revising their personal cresds, and that the
personal belief OF very many sis larger,
broader, higher and deeper than the long
accepted formularies of the church" In
other words 1.-THE creed coat mas become too
small for the growing boy"
It is astonishing how many curious ideas
are cropping out relative to religious creeds
nowadays. According to many leading
clergymen of different denominations the
old time creeds are not suited to the present
time. They are not roomy enough for the
live thought Of the day. They did very
well for the time in which they had their
birth, but they are not suited to this period
Of the nineteenth century.
The war on the. creeds has begun in earn
est. A great many clergymen who have
for long time felt that they were not en-
tirely honest with themselves and their
flocks are beginning to pluck up courage
enough to express their real sentiments
with regard to creeds. And more will be
heard about creeds in the near future than
has been in the last quarter of a century.
There is evolution in everything, and why
shouldn't there be in religious thought! And
the protest against creeds does not threaten
danger to the fundamental principles of
religion. If it is needed and creeds are
made to conform to religious thought
may not the Christian church be broadened
and strengthened and its power for good
greatly increasedl

At the recent international conference of
Templars at Edinburgh a rather remarka-
BILE concession to the Catholic church was
made in the adoption Of a resolution declar-
ing that it is mo violation Of the Templar
obligations for member to communicate
the work Of the order to clergyman under
the seal of the confession" That is what
the Roman church has been fighting for
through centuries. That was the sole basis
of Catholic opposition to Masonry, which has
run through hundreds OF years Very likely
this will bring about the end Of the war.

Suing newspaper for libel is not always
a safe proceeding. Recently a New York
man sued Utica paper for damaging dis
closures which led to his ignominious defeat
in the elections last fall. After many de-
lays the case has just come to trial and the
court very much surprised the plaintiff by
deciding that the truth is not libel. Taking
that view of the case, the judge concluded
that no damage was done. So the only
thing the enterprising politician got out of
the suit was the costs he had to pay for
both sides and a jury estimate of his per-
sonal character which can hardly be useful
to him ''in his business"
