Richard Mansfsld's Nativity.

Richard Mansfield has not always been as
prosperous as he is now, says the Chicago Ne,os-
Record. Like some of the rest of us, he has
known and felt the bitter sweetness OF vicissi-
tude and poverty. One time, some years ago
he was in Boston, victim to poverty The
world had wrought i'll with him. But, great
joyi he meets with his old friend, Ed Barnard
gentleman Of prosperity, and one always
ready to do good turn for q fellow creature
I'm glad to meet you, " cried Mansfield. ~
want to borrow some money Of you"
Barnard was not averse to this suggestion
He liked Mansfield and he believed in him. The
two strolled along together and talked of pros
poets. Barnard was panied to discover that
Mansfield was thoroughly disheartened- as
blue specimen as he had met in many a day
So he assumed cheerful air and tone and
sought to cheer him up. But his kindly Offices
threatened to fail Of their purpose Mansfield
would not be cheered. His dependency seemed
to grow apace.
Come, come, Mansheldn' cried Barnard
banteringly. ''brace up and have some stvle
about you'll What do you mean by acting and
talking like babyi What sort OF man are
you, anyway
VIclssitude had sharpened Mansleld's wit
His answer TO Barnard's rally was as clever a
bonmot as the books record.
What sort of q man am II" says he with a
bitter smile. "rm half Englishmsn and half
starved"

An Expert Hindoo swordsman.

After Napier's battles with the Hindoos op-
posed to the English q famous juggler visited
the camp and performed his feats before the
general, his family and staff Among other
performances, this man cut in two, with a
stroke of his sword. lime or lemon placed on
the hand Of his assistant, says the Ar0onGut
Napier thought there was some collision be-
tween the juggler and his retainer To divide
BY sweep Of the sword so small an object on
q man 8 hand without touching the flesh he be-
heVed to be impossible, SO the general offered
bis own hand for the experiment and stretched
out his right arm The juggler looked very at
tentlVely at the hand and said that he would not
make the experiment.
u thought would find you outl" exclaimed
Napier.
But stop" added the other, 'let me sec
your left hand" The left was submitted, and
the man then said firmly: IF you will hold
your arm steady will perform the feat"
But why the left hand and not the rights"
Because the right hand ia hollow in the CEN
ter, and there is a risk of cutting off the thumb;
the left is hish and the danger will be less :"
Napier was startled.
Il got frightened" he said; ~ saw 1t was an
actual feat OF delicate workmanship, and IL l
had not abused the man as did before my
stan. and challenged him to the trial, honestly
acknowledge l would have retired from the en-
counter. However, put the lime on my hand
and held out my arm steadily. The juggler
balanced himself, and. with a swift stroke, cut
the lime in two pieces. I felt the edge OF the
sword on my hand as II a cold thread had been
drawn across IL. ;"

A LuIl in the Campaign.

Very little is being done in this state now
to bring ont large vote at the November
election. A few Of the congressional candi-
dates are making speeches in their respect
i've districts, but there is no such activity
in the political field as there was during the
state campaign. IL is not to be expected,
OF course, that after such an over wheImiDg
democratic victory the political bugle will
be blown so loud and often as it was when
the opposing parties were claiming the
state but it is evident that the national
campaign ought not to be neglected. AL
though there is no doubt that the democrats
will carry Georgia in November by ma
jority as large as that by which they car
ried it in October, and perhaps larger, they
should strive to bring out every democratic
voter and so completely bury the popuist
and Republican parties that they would be
ashamed to excuse their weakness by cry
Ing fraud.
II is the purpose, no doubt, Of the repub-
lican and populist leaders TO join their
forces if they can. II they succeed in doing
that, and can get their voters TO the polls,
they may make a much better showing in
Sho VI bNO VI tuo COus oS9iO''AA N''9'' AN'ND
than it is now believed they can. There is
good reason for thinking that the national
republican leaders are assisting Mr.. Watson,
and they may be assisting other congress
sional candidates of the populist party.
They are determined to prevent the demo-
Gratis from getting control Of the next House
IL they can. The democrats, therefore,
ought to be up and doing. In every con-
gresslonal district they ought to be holding
meetings and urging upon democrats the
Importance of voting at the national cleo
ton.
The fact that it is believed that every
congressional district. except the Tenth. is
absolutely safe for democracy should not be
accepted as satisfactory. Campaign work
should 60 on just as il there was doubt
about the result of the election. Between
now and Nov. thousands of democrats,
who would not otherwise take the trouble
to vote, can be induced to 90 to the polls by
a little urging.
In Florida, also, the democrats seem to be
resting on their oars They won a oon-
spicuous victory in October. but they
should not forget that the republicans did
not take very active part in that election.
They will take a much greater interest in
the November election, and the democrats
may need all their votes to elect their can-
didates for congress.

Mrs. Manhrick,a Case.

The efforts 70 secure the release Of Mrs
Florence Maybrick are as earnest and per-
sistent now as when she was sentenced 70
imprisonment for life. Those who are exert
ing themselves in her behalf, both in this
country and in Europe, have no personal
acquaintance with her. They are infu-
enced wholly in their course by disinterested
motives. They believe she Is innocent and,
therefore, they are sparing no efforts TO Sc
cure her release.
The charge upon which she was convicted
was the murder OF her husband by admin
istering arsenic to him in bis medicine. He
was an invalid and she was his constant
attendant.
B 1t ia probable that she would have escaped
conviction had it not been alleged that she
was not faithful to her husband. Il was
charged that she wished to get rid Of him
in order to be free to marry her lover. At
the time Of her conviction there was a wide
spread belief that her trial was not an ALSO
lutely fair one. The judge who presided at
her trial was prejudiced against her. 1t was
said, and his charge to the jury helped to
secure her conviction.
Mrs. Maybrick is a native Of this country
and lived for a time at Norfolk. Va, after
her marriage. She had been resident Of
England, however, for a number of years
at the time of the death OF her husband.
One of those who have taken great in
terest in her case is Mr.. Stead, the editor Of
the ReUietO of ReUietOS He says he has the
confession of man named Wilson, who
recently died in South Africa, and who said
that he and woman other than Mrs. May
brick administered the poison from which
Mr.. Maybriok died. Mr.. Stead believes the
story relative TO Wilson's confession to be
true. Tho attention Of Secretary Of State
Foster has been called to 1t. and he has tele-
graphed the American consul at the Cape
Of Good Hope to find out whether or not it
has any foundation. II he discovers it has
he will ask the English government to re-
lease Mrs Maybrick.
In this country no one has worked more
earnestly for the release Of Mrs Maybrick
than Gail Hamilton" who is a member of
ex-Secretary Blaine's family. She has pre-
sented Mrs. Maybrick's case strongly. not
only in the newspapers, but at the state de-
partment. II the unfortunate woman
should succeed in getting her liberty, it
would be due largely to what "Gail Hamil-
ton" has done for her. Efforts like those
made IN behalf OF Mrs. Maybrick are, as a
rule, successful, and it is probable that be-
fore Christmas she will be a free woman.

A new effort to compel postmasters to
work for the Republican party has been
brought to the attention Of the civil service
commission at Washington. The republican
state committee Of Michigan is the offender.
blank book was seat to each postmaster
in the state directing him to furnish cam
vass of the patrons Of his office, with lnfor-
nation as to their former and present poll
tics and as TO the papers they take, together
with recommendations as to what papers
should be sent them, etc." The postmaster
was further informed that he was expected
to consult with prominent republicans of
his locality as to this work, but as far as
possible to keep his labors from becoming
public. II postmasters are to be made re-
publican political tools, and il the civil
service commission cannot prevent it, then
there ought to be some authoritative ruling,
by somebody, as TO whose tools they are.
Wanamaker would seem, by virtue of his
office, to have the first call on them. But it
appears that any and every committeeman
or hustler in the republican service deems it
his right to command the postmasters at his
pleasure. 1t Is an outrage on the poor post
masters, not to mention the outraged spirit
of the civil service laws.

An Obnoxious Official.

Col. Nicholas Smith is an obnoxious
official" He is the American consul at
Three Rivers, Quebec, but his hold upon
that Office is not absolutely secure. Its not
very profitable office, the salary being
only 81, 500 year, but that amount seems
large to man who depends upon it for his
bed and board. Col. Smiths offenss is ono
not likely TO be forgiven. Soon after cholera
appeared in this country he wrote a report
to the state department relative to the saut-
tary condition of Three Rivers. From his
point of view cholera would find congenial
abiding place there In his report he said
the homes Of the people were but little bet
ter than pig pens, and that the average in
habitant had an absolute repugnance to
soap aud water.
When It became known at Three Rivers
what Consul Smith had written to his gov-
eminent about that place and its inhab-
itants, there was a howl Of rage, and
straightway a mob gathered at his resi-
dence and threatened to lynch him. Stones
were thrown at his house and about all of
ha windows were broken. He was told
that If the place wasn't good enough for
AiAN 40 SuB Nv W Sob Oub VI H. n u6lallu
was made for his recall.
Treatment like that affected Consul Smith
deeply. He thought he was only doing his
duty by telling what he believed to be the
truth. And for acting conscientiousIy he
was reviled and stoned.
Consul Smith is a sensitive man. Once he
had the reputatian of being the "handsom-
est man in America" That was when he
married the daughter OF Horace Greeley.
He may not be SO handsome now. Age has
brought badness and wrinkles. and, be-
sides, the colonel is not quite so highly es-
teemed as he was when he was Horace Gree
ley's son-iu-law.
Naturally the people OF Three Rivers
don't like to be told that they are dirty, but
if, as matter of fact, they are dirty the
state department oughenot to heed their de-
mand for Consul Smiths recall. 1t ought
to tell them TO go wash themselves and live
like civilized people. But II they have
been slandered 10 ought to make Consul

THAT Troublesome Macon Egg.

1t seems that the egg that was thrown at
Gen. Weaver in Macon is still causing
trouble. The whole country has heard
about that egg, and most of the newspapers
have had something to say about IL. 1t is
only within a day or two, however, that
Macon has attached much Importance to it.
When all the rest Of the country was about
forgetting 1t Macon paper rescued it from
oblivion and set the whole town talking
about it. The egg is at the front again and
is the moving cause Of a red-hot card, In
which somebody is told that the truth has
been abused in a scandalous manner
1t is alleged that somebody told some one
else that a certain man told Mr.. Tom Watson
that prominent democrat threw the egg
at Weaver, and that was why Mr.. Watson
made sensational statement relative to
Gen. Weaver and the egg. The gentleman
who is made responsible for telling the story
to Mr.. Watson denies, in about as emphatic
language as he is master of that he il the
author of the statement on which Mr..
Watson based his sensational publication.
But somebody mutt have been talking
about the egg. and there now appears to
be a strong desire to find out who it is,
There is an opening for some one to come
forward and tell an interested public all
about the egg episode. II there is any
thing new to be told it ought to be told at
once and the mystery cleared up. If that
egg is kept exposed much longer, it may
cause still greater annoyance. 1t must be
pretty bad egg by this time, and there
ought to be no objection to removing it as
quickly as possible from where it is likely
to be offensive. 1t is doubtful if anybody
is particularly anxious to have Mr.. Watson
or Mr.. Murphey or anybody else take any
action likely TO keep it in the presence Of
the public.

The Deacon Abeille scandal came UP for
another airing in the court at Cannes.
France, yesterday in the shape of a suit
brought by Edward Parker Deacon against
his wife, from whom he seeks legal sepa-
ration. Deacon, il will be remembered
was only recently released from prison,
having been pardoned by President Carnot.
The trial now going on will involve all OF
the Objectionable features Of Deacon's trial
for the killing of Abeille, inasmuch as one
object sought by the plaintiff is to show that
bis wife is not a proper person to have the
custody of their children. Deacon has little
hope Of winning his suit in the Cannes
court. however, and says he will preserve
copies Of the testimony to be used in an
American divorce court IN suit he will
institute in this country in case he loses in
France. The family Of Abeille, the victim
of Deacon's pistol. are doing all in their
power to prejudice the case against him.
