She Kept the Children Quiet,

A lady who was very particular about the
habits and morals of her children, engaged a
nurse who came to her highly recommended,
says the Detroit Free Press. The girl proved a
perfect success. The children, who were noisy
little ones, bscame quiet and obedient, and their
mother marveled at the Change
One day she noticed them tip-toeing about the
house, and, calling the eldest one to her, she
asked her why they walked in that manner.
Nellie told US to, so we won't make any
noise"

Trap doors?" said the mother, curious to
know, what did Nellie meanY
The child. being commanded by her mother,
reluctantly told.
''She said there was lots and lots of trap doors
that she made them herself an If we run an

dungeon, an nobody wouldn't never find us
again. "

to sleep at night?"

bears that are under the bed and will come OUT
an eat us all up if we don't go to Sleep"
That will do" said the mother as she went
out to dismiss the imaginative Nellie. She is
now trying to teach the children enough natural
history to prove that bears do not live under
beds, also that trapdoors were only naughty
make-believes designed by the cunning Nellie.

The Charleston May Have to Fight.
1t is not improbable that the cruiser
Charleston may have chance to try her
strength with the renowned Chilean iron
| clad Esmeralda. 1t is thought that the
Esmeralda is at the Mexican port of Aca-
pulco waiting for the steamer Itata. If the
Charleston does not overtake the Itata be-
fore the latter can place herself under the
protection of the Esmeralda it will be diff.
cult for her to avoid a battle with the
formidable insurgent iron-clad. 1t is the
impression in Washington that the Charles
| toms orders are to retake the Itata under
any circumstances if she can be found.
The Charleston and the Esmeralda are
pretty evenly matched. The guns of the
former are of a newer pattern, but they are
not as heavy as those of the latter. The
Charleston is the larger, but the difference
| in the size of the two vessels is not so great
as to give the Charleston much advantage.
1t has all along been stated that Secretary
Blaine opposed sending the Charleston in
pursuit of the Itata. He maintained that
all the vigilance required of this govern
ment was exercised in the effort to prevent
the Itata from leaving the port of San
Diego. He doesn't want to have any COM
plications with Chile, or any other one Of
the South American republics, because he
is afraid that his efforts in behalf of reci-
procity would be checked. The South
American republics are very Jealous of any
interference by this country In their quar-
rels. They are willing that this country
shall prevent any European power from in
lettering in their affairs, but at the same
time they want it distinctly understood that
this country shall keep its hands off when
they get into trouble with each other, or are
disturbed by contending factions.
From Secretary Blaine's point of view,
therefore. it might be better for this country
if the Charleston should fail to overtake the
Itata. And If she should overtake the Itata
and the latter at the time should be under
the protection of the Esmeralda it is not
improbable that the Esrneralda would re-
linquish her without battle, for the insur-
gent captain would fully understand that the
loss of his ship would be a very heavy blow
to the cause of the insurgents. Indeed the
insurgents place almost as much dependence
upon the Esmeralda as they do upon their
armies, and if she should defeat the Charles
ton the insurgents would be the losers, be-
cause they would incur the active enmity OF
this country. News Of the Charleston is
awaited with great Interest.

Occasionally the intelligent compositor
manages to work off very logical and
philosophical thought that he didn't actually
think. This was demonstrated in the printed
report of the Presidents speech in a
Colorado town, in which Mr.. Harrison said I:
81 have been intensely interested in what 1
have seen." Yet when it appeared in print
the President was accredited with saying
Il have been intensely interested in what
have been," which was probably the more
correct of the two in reality. Still it was
not what the President said. And the
newspapers have to give a man credit for
what he says rather than what they feel
sure that he thinks.

Signor Pascale Corte, the Italian consul
at New Orleans, has done a great deal of
useless talking since the lynching in that
city. He appears 10 be a well-meaning man.
but there can be no question that he is too
anxious TO hear the sound Of his own voice
and TO see his name in print.
He is going to Italy. having been sum-
moned there by the Italian government. It
is not exactly clear whether the Italian gov
ernment is displeased with his course in
New Orleans. or whether it desires him to
furnish in person information of what took
place on March IA, and since. relative TO the
parish prison lynching. He says that ne is
wanted for the latter purpose, but IL is
suspected that he will not be sent back to
New Orleans, because Of his indiscreet re-
marks concerning the officials of that city
and the grand jury which Investigated the
| lynching.
And now, according to his story pub
lished in our dispatches yesterday. he claims
that he saved the lives of Mayor Shakes
peare and of the two men who led the
crowd of citizens who did the lynching. He
says that the Italian residents were so
wrought up by the lynching that they
wanted to go right off and kill the men
named.
Signor Corte must have been influenced
a great deal in his course by the conviction
that Mayor Shakespeare and Messrs Parker
son and Wicliffe were not in quite as much
danger as were his countrymen. If any of
them had made a demonstration against
the lives of either of these men they would,
-. Ill 0E.k~s Al
those who were shot to death in the parish
prison. The citizens of New Orleans on
March IA, and for several days thereafter,
were not in a mood to trife with assassins.
If any Italians had attempted either
secretly or openly to take the life of the
mayor, or those who were conspicuous in
the lynching, the Italian colony in New
Orleans would not now be quite as numer-
GUS as it is.
If. therefore, Corsul Corte did save the
lives OF the mayor and the leaders of the
lynching, as he says he did, he acted very
wisely, and his countrymen in New Orleans
owe him a debt of gratitude which they
can never repay. 1t would not be surpris-
ing, however, if he rather overdraws the
picture when he represents that the temper
of his countrymen was such that they were
bent upon spilling somebody's blood. No
doubt be believes that he avertsd tragedy,
but it is pretty safe to say that his country
men were not quite 30 eager to draw upon
themselves the vengeance of the citizens as
be thought they were. In fact. after the
| lynching there was noticeable a much less
aggressive spirit among those of the Italian
residents who were suspected of being too
ready to commit dark deeds than there had
| been.
Consul Corte will not be greatly regretted
in New Orleans. not because he is not in the
main very amiable gentleman, but rather
because his judgment does not appear to be
sound and his tongue wags altogether too
freely for a man holding so responsible a
position.

GeorgIa's New Bishop.

Rev. DR.. Thomas f. Gailor, vice chancel-
lor Of the University of the South, will be
the next Episcopal bishop Of Georgia If he
will accept the position. He is very young
man for so important an office, but there is
no doubt about his ability to fill it nor of his
fitness for it. He has q splendid reputation
as pulpit orator and is a thorough theolo-
gian. Inhis work at the University of the
South he has been emineutly successful, and
those who have graduated from that insti-
tuition since his connection with it speak Of
him in terms of the highest praise. And he
deserves the Endorsement they give him. for
he is an earnest and conscientious worker in
his chosen field.
1t has been asserted that he is inclined to
ritualism. 1t may be that he has a tendency
toward the ornate and decorative in church
service. but that he is thoroughly loyal to
the church there is no doubt. And being
mau of sound Judgment he would hardly
permit any ritualistic disposition that
might be harmlessly INDUCED in as a rector
to crop out in his work as a bishop in
way that would invite criticism.
1t is by no means certain that he will ac-
cept the bishoprlc. He has more than once
refused to leave his present position to
accept tempting offers. He feels that he
is-greater perhaps than in any other place
within the church's gift, but i, he does
accept Georgia will have bishop who will
do a great deal toward building up the
Episcopal denomination within her borders.
