NOW it is the Chinese Empire which,
having determined to build a railway for
military reasons, finds its progress blocked
until it can negotiate foreign loan. The
popular prejudice of the Chinese against
railways as instrumentalities of the evil
one has its compensation. 1t protects them
from the American method OF building
railways on bond issues which are really
shares in the enterprise, and from the sale
of the alleged stock which is pure water.

OUR MAIL POUCH.
John Harper's Character.


To the Editor of The Dispatch:
desire to contradict the published state
ment that John Harper, of Tarentum, VINO
recently died, was recluse. John Harper
was an open hearted, intelligent old man,
one who enjoyed the company of every one;
one who could converse upon all subjects,
and one who had as many friends as any
man about Tarentum, and one who will be
missed by all. Every one had a kind word
for him when they met him. He was always
happy and contented, and an upright, Goa
rearing christian. OF course at the advanced
age of75 years, one could not expect him to
leave his home much; and he was very feeble
on his feet: yet when the weather would per-
NIT "Old Uncle" "as he was called by all,
would go on saturday and stay until Sunday
night with his relatives, and upon each visit
would distribute his money among the chill
dren. He was always liberal with his money
and left very little behind. T. Y. q.

Absurd Propositions.

Democratic paper says it is absurd for Re-

THE Republicans of Northampton county

THE Republicans of Northampton county
in their convention resolved that as the
Democrats had nominated for judge 'the
Hon. W. W. Schuyler,a gentleman and jurist
of irreproachable character and strict in

Judge Schuyler as well.

THE ART OF LEAVING.

When Nine. de Stael visited Weimar
with the avowed intention of intellect
ually capturing the literary lions of the
day, Goethe and Schiller, she made
one fatal mistake: she stayed too long.
Goethe wrote to Schiller: "Mme. de
Stael Is bright, entertaining person,
but she ought to know when it is time
to go"
The art of leaving is less understood
by women than by men. The habits of
business, the recognized fact that to a
business man time is money, the throng
and press and exactingness of business
life, all tend to make men who live in
cities the best possible exemplars of
the fine art of leaving quickly and neat
ly. A business mans social call is u.s.
ually a model of good manners in this
respect. When he has said what he
has to say, and listened 10 what there
is to hear, be takes his hat, says ''good-
evening, and is out of your presence
without giving any time or chance for
the too often tedious and embarrassing
commonplaces of mutual invitations
and promises to call again, which seem
to be kind of social formula with
women. In striking contrast with this
neat and skilful method of cutting
short the parting words of an inter
view or call, Is the too common social
practice of visitors, who, commencing
to leave, seem temporarily to abandon
their purposes, and then hnger. as
though it W re kind of compliment
to the visiting party to appear loath to
part company.
Who does not dread the visitor who
starts, then thinks of something else to
say, rises, and then thinks of another
subject of consideration, nearly reaches
the door, and, most probably holding
1t open, is aroused to degree of men
