The Fair and the Railroads.


 The railroads are making money out of the Worlds fair there is no doubt of that. Only a few such trains as one that went to Chicago recently from the Att lantic seaboard would pay them hand some dividends against the next quarter. This train was made up of tourists from the vicinity of New York and Boston, and the number of passengers it carried was nearly 10000. There were 120 cars, and they travelled in 10 sections of 12 rars each.
 But the disagreeable part of it was that the passengers on the mammoth train were mostly of the class that at once deserves the best of everything earth affords and least often gets it. working people. They were too poor to pay more than the mere passenger fare and could not indulge in the luxury of sleeping car. That meant sitting up two nights upon the train. When they reached the fair, too many of them were in the condition graphically described in the American language as played out" They could not see the fair at their best. This is a thousand pities, for the mechan- Ics and artisans of a country are exactly the ones to whom such expositions do the most good in the way of improve ment to nations industry. Through these working people, if at all, must come the elaboration of new and finer ideas in the industrial arts.
 In view of the money they make. also by way of showing q patriotic willing 1 ness to help the fair and their country, the railway companies ought to combine and make excursion rates cover as much 1 comfort as possible to those. who avail i themselves of them. They ought to have 1 lone so from the start. In emigrant trains of the west certain sleeping ac- commodations are provided that are not at all bad. If even these were made to accompany the excursion ticket to the fair, it would bring comfort to hundreds of thousands of the best people in Amer ica. It would give thousands courage to visit the great show who are other wise daunted by the hardships of the journey. In that way it would really pay the VHll'diFe9' A tluIN ShAiSuteAeu policy is that which furnishes the most to people for their money.
 A sensitive person never feels his pov- erty so much as when he goes to buy a railway ticket and has not money enough to take q sleeping car. From the ticket seller to the black porter. all seem to frown upon him from lofty heights of affiuence and to openly despise him for poor trash.

MT. GIadstone'< Speech Before the Mid
 lothian Liberal Committee.
 EDINBUEGH, Sept 2S--Mr. Gladstone de livered long address to the Midlothian Liberal committee. and great interest was manifested Tn it. He was enthusiastically received He declared that the present par lamentary institutions were too weak for their purpose and did not meet the de mands of the country. There was a legis- lative famine during the last session, and there was demand for the removal of the defects The Irish question had stood in the way of other necessary legislation, but the fault lay with the house of lords, which body he prOcecded to denounce. The plea by the lords that the Irish question had not been fully discussed in the S2 days allotted il was ridiculous in the face of the fact that the lords disposed of il in four days.
 In regard to the manner of facing the sit uatiun, Mir. Gladstone said that there could not be procured a cut and dried solu- tion of the dilemma He counScled neither violence nor Vehemeuce. All that was necessary was a quiet determination to cling to the hope that better Counsels would prevail and induce the house oi lords to grant tu Irrlaud some just satis- faction of her aspirations

OUR cOUNTRY'S FLOWER

A flower for the land that spreads From mighty sea to sea! Ot all that lift their blooming heads Oh. say. which shall it be? The golden rod. the Mayflowcr fair. Or mountain laurel wild. Somo garden blossom rich and rRre> Or only Natures child2 Oh, flower. full of joyous life And tint of furnished gold. With memories of childhood rife And beauties manifold. That oft our hearts with sweet ness thrills, And love no change can break. Like Wordsworths golden dadodils That danced beside the lake. Thine be the blossom that we choose Our native land tu claim, Resplcndcnt with her autumn hues And with her sunlight flame; With dainty flowers fine and fair, That children love to pull, Yet curved like palms that victors bear In shcavcs so firm and full Tis well her blooming badge should be Some plant by Nature sown, That springs untcnded strong and free, And makes each soil its own, On roadside bank, by cottage door. Amid tho gathered corn in fields where bright Septembcr's store Of uylng seeds Is borne. And earliest on sunny slope.
 Reside tho iron track. We sec thy waving clusters ope To flash tho sunshine back. There, face 10 face with labor's roar, While engines thunder past, Thy richest bloom smiles evermore Amid the smoky blast Then symbol of OUT country's dover. Of spirit free and bold, Bloom on, thou hardy autumn flower With all thy cleaning gold, Like emblems of her growing might Far spreading OCT her soil, Tho victor's palm, the child's delight, The treasure won by toll. Like Frances lily, England's rose,
 And Scotland s thistle true, Where'er the starry banner shows
 The red and white and blue, Wide OCT thy teeming sun kissed sod. From mighty sea to sea Be famed and loved thy golden rod.

 age of the orchards was largely increased Fortunes, as money was there and then counted, were being made by apple raisers. and year by year the crop was greater in quantity and finer in quality. Peaches. which had before this time been one of the standbys, were being abandon ed as the peach orchards passed beyond the limit of full bearing age, and the trees were uprooted to make way for the victorious apple.
 Here and there throughout the region were long, low sheds. under which men worked from early spring until near the end of the harvest making barrels for the crop, and where coopers' choruses more genuine than that in the opera "Bocaccio" were to be.heard every day. The apple buyer was factor, and a most important one, in every commu- nifty, and his trips of investigation among the orchards at various periods of the season were subjects of animated discussion at the informal and incl dental evening meetings of the farmers at the stores and poStoffice.
 In September and October the harvest ing of the apples went forward, and the weeks given up thereto made up a period of strenuous exertion, which is another way of repeating my farmer friends as servation that apple picking is the ''driv, ingest time in the hull year.
 The winelike air of midautumn invig- orated every worker, and no doubt the influence of the ever present fresh, wholesome fruit contributed to this. Added to these incentives were the con- sciousness on the part of the farmer that the work must be finished before the coming of the heavy frosts if crops were to be secured in good condition and what was considered big wages on the part of the laborer
 To be good apple picker man had to know just how to put up long ladders quickly and securely. He had to know just how. and where to place his ladder so that he could clear tree without
