There has recently rived on these shores
man who is famous in his own land. II is
Joseph NJ Darby, the English trick jumper
and champion leaper of the world. Among
some OF his remarkable features are those OF
jumping over horse hfteen hands high,
standing jump over d chair placed upon
taple, and, most wonderful OF ali, jumping
over ehalr on to man S face and on again
without hurting the man.
Clark Russell, the celebrated writer Of sea
stories and marine fiction, dictates all Of his
lite cary work lying on his sofa in his sitting
room. Il have the plot before me- he said
! and as lay there. 1 close my eyes, and re
| allze intensely the whole scene which I
describe as though il were ilum mated on
canvass by magic lantern. Before any work
| goes to printer it is carefully revised and
sometimes one-fourth rewritten"
The late John Bright took to politics
| through an old schoolmaster at Atworth
school, York shire. This master was great on
elocuuon: II was a fad Of his. and whenever
a pupil with an exceptional voice and pleas
ing manner attracted his attention he de-
voted all OF his energy to drilling him in geS-
tlcuIation. John Bright acquired love for
exclamation In this way, and it ultimately led
MIN 70 the front place in Eng ism politics.

Mary Cowden Clark compiler of the Shake

Italy. In her youth she was a distinguished
amateur actress, and il is recalled that as

Mr.. Cleveland's Backbone.
From the Pittshnrr nisnatch lRenN

From the Ptttsburg Dispatch (Rep).
This triumph of Mr.. Cleveland over some
of the most active and keen elements in his
own party, establishes the value OF a back
bone. The oJher elements of supremacy,
such as management, persuasiveness and
ability ia making deals, were either openly
or be other side or employed ig the under
ground method Of Arthur Pue German in ne
gotiating tie compromises that would come
up when unconditional repeal had been aban-
doned. Mr, CieVeland'S very positive and ag-
gressive spinal column proves to be the dom
mating influence, despite all predictions to
the contrary and all the political arts used
against him

We Have Not Discarded silver.
From the Financial Chronicle Gndl.

TOIu Int FlNanCIdI JuTOnICIb IInu.l.
We have not by repeal discarded silver any
more than France has. France has, accord
ing to-our mint bureaus estimate, $4,000 goo
in legal-tender silver currency, while the
United States has about S519, 900 900. The
same authority estimates Frances stock of
gold at $500 600 900, and the United States
stock, on Oct. l, at Ss57 800, 600. Hence, with
our mints closed to silver, we are situated
with reference &c our metallic reserve, very
much as the French people are; and though
silver has declined materially. and is not
worth anywhere near what ii is mfnted at
with the limit put on coinage, we can take
care Of our silver just as easily as France can.
and that means we shall have no Diff
Guilty whatever in keeping our silver at par
with gold.

For Collector of the Port.

From Charleston News and Courier DEM.
The Guyton Chronicle says: Col j. II.
Estill, Of the MORNING NEWS, has been sug-
gested as a com promise candidate for col
lector OF the port of Savannah" And very
good suggestion it is. We do not think that
Col. Estill would take the Office II it were Of
fered to him, but we DO know that there is no
man IN Savannah who would ill the Office
more acceptably. He thinks there is no place
like Sayannah-thi would be TO the benefit of
savannah; he believes there is no democrat
like Mr., Cleveland-this would be to the ad-
vantage of the Democratic party in Georgia.

There may be truth in the Jackson
vile dispatch. published in tie MORNING
NEW yesterday, to the effect that ar
engagements are being made for the
Mitcheil-Corbett fight to take place in
the Florida metropolis. But the chances
are tnat there is only truth enough in it
to be misleading. There is an athletic
CLUB at Jacksonville, and it may have Of
ferod a purse for the mill. But if il did
u was probably for the purpose of CON
1uslng the public mind with regard to ar
rangements for the fight. There is no
reason to suppose the governor of Florida

A Monument to Barlow.

Ever since the remains Of Col Francis
S. Barlow were brought to Savannah, his
native city, her people have desired to see
a monument erected to his memory.
He fell at Manassas, July 81. 1861, almost
a third of century ago. Many of those
who took part with him in the stirring
times of that period have followed him to
their last resting place. 1t will not be a
great while before all OF those who knew
the gallant soldier, who went to the bat
tie field to illustrate Georgia" will have
passed away. 1t is gratifying to know
that those who still survive
propose to perform a long delayed
duty, namely, the erecting of a fitting
memorial to commemorate his noble life
and many virtues. 1t is duty that all
Georgians will gladly assist in discharg-
ing, for the mention of Col. Bartows
name sends a thrill of patriotic pride
through their hearts.
The surviving members of Col. Bartows
old command, Ibis boys" he called them,
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of this
city, have inaugurated the monument
movement. The matter will be brought
before the corps by its commander Capt.
w. S. Rockwell, at its regular meeting on
Thursday night. 1t is proposed to enlist
in the project, besides the people of Sa-
vannah, the surviving veterans of the
Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh
Georgia regiments which, with the Sec
ond Kentucky battalion, composed the
brigade which Col. Barlow commanded.
Savannah has monuments to others of
her dead soldier heroes, to Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, Count Casimer Pulaski, Sergt.
William Jasper, and the soldiers of the
Confederacy, and it would be exceedingly
appropriate that she should have one to
her most distinguished citizen soldier,
who, few months after he had abandoned
the peaceful pursuits of life and donned
his uniform, died in defense of the princi-
pies ho so firmly believed in, and the
cause he 50 sincerely loved

The young women of Alabama do not
seem to be very anxious to avail them
selves of the opportunity to enter the
state university at Tuscaloosa afforded
by the throwing open of the doors of the
college to both sexes. Last June, after
an agitation extending through several
years, the trustees Of the university
passed a resolution to admit women on an
equal footing with men But although
two months of the current school year
have passed not a woman has applied
for admission. Meantime all of the
female colleges of the state, according to
report, have received an increased at
tendance over previous years The state
university BY the way, is a semi-mili-
tary institution, the discipline Of which
is said to be as severe as that of West
Point. This consideration may account
for the lack of woman applicants.

people.

Last Saturday while party of British
sailors were ashore getting sand near one
of Mello's fortifcations, at Rio de Janeiro,
the powder magazine exploded. killing
four and wounding five Of the sailors.
Whether the explosion was accidental or
not is not apparent. One newspaper dis
patch said the magazine belonged to the
government and had been exploded pur-
posely, the garrison installing the
Britons for a party of insurgents The
official dispatch to Washington, however,
says it was the insurgents magazine At
any rate the incident may serve the pur-
pose of admitting Great Britain into the
quarrel. If it does the Brazilian war may
become an affair of consequence to other
countries Than Brazil.

The Tariff Next.

The Democratic party has redeemed
one of the pledges of its platform-it has
repealed that miserable makeshift," the
purchasing clause of the Sherman silver
law, and the House has done its part to-
wards redeening another, that which re-
lates to the federal election laws.
The attention of the whole country is
now turned towards the tariff The peo-
pie have twice condemned the McKin-
ley iniquity and ordered that a fair and
just tariff be substituted for it. To this
work congress must give its attention as
soon as it convenes in regular session. 1t
is great work, and it will take time
and patience to accomplish it. So
many interests are involved and
so many powerful influences will
be exerted toprevent any changes, where,
in the interests of the people,
changes are imperatively de-
manded, that progress in tariff
legislation must be necessarily slow.
The ways and means committee is now
working on the tariff bill. 1t is not
known whether or not it has yet done
much. The testimony on that point is
conflicting. Senator Vest is quoted as
saying that but little has yet been accom-
plished. On the other hand, Speaker
Crisp was reported in our dispatches
yesterday, in an interview in Chicago, as
saying that the tariff bill will be ready to
be reported to the House when Congress
meets in December.
But whether the tariff bill is reported
to the House i'll December or January, it is
certain to be before the House within the
next three months, and that body will at
once give it its whole attention.
There is great interest among manu-
facturers to know what sort of a tariff
the Democratic party will give the coun-
try. There is no occasion for any of
them to fear that their interests will be
affected iniuriously by any thing the
Democratic party may do. The party is
conservative and so is the administration.
The policy will be to lessen the burdens
of the people, remove inequalities and
put an end to monopolies that are fostered
by protection. These things can and will
be done without harming the great in
0ustrial interests of the country.
The contest over the tariff will doubt
less, be long one. The republican minor
ity is prepared to resist changes. The
Mckinley tariff embodies their tariff
policy and they will leave no means I'M
tried to secure its retention. The demo-
Gratis have the power, however, and they
ill useit to carry out the will of the
people.

Heavy Damage by Hail Over in
Wisconsin.

A special meeting Of the city council
is called for next Tuesday evening,
when the light question will be consid-
cred. A very large proportion of the
residents of the city are in favor of hav-
ing street lights, and are anxious fer
the council to take some steps in the
matter. The contract with the Still
water Gas and Electric Light company
expired two months ago, and since that
time citizens have enjoyed no lights on
the streets. Chances are that if lights
can be secured at more reasonable fig
ure another contract will be made with
the same company.
A number of farmers residing in the
vicinity of Somerset, on the Wisconsin
side of the St. Croix. and in the neig h
borhOod of Mays lake in this county.
were in the city yesterday, aud report a
very heavy hail storm Thursday even
ing. Corn stalks were stripped, and all
garden truck was badly damaged. In
one house forty-two panes of glass were
broken. Fortunately all wheat and oats
had been harvested, and the damage
done was not as great as if the storm
had cume ten days earlier. The ground.
it is said, was covered with several
inches of hail.
