led GaD0y between ttDO soldiers.
Greatness underlying an uninviting
exterior is often called out by circum-
stances. President Lincoln would not
have been the ''great emancipator" had
he not been born in the nick of time.
General Grant would not have become
prominent as = soldier had the civil war
occurred before or after he was of fit age
to lead tho Union armies, and Jakey
Slack-well, Jakey would not have de-
veloped his ability as strategist had it
not been for his friend, Mark Malone,
and the negro jail at Chattanooga.
Jakey was as incompetent to sit down
and think out plan for his friends ess
cape as he was to demonstrate a propo-
sition of Euclid. He could neither add
columns of two figures nor spell words
of one syllable: indeed he could neither
read, write nor cipher, the want of an
ability to read or write being a great
disadvantage to hum in his present re-
sponsible position. But the desire to
help his friend out of q bad FIX having
got into his brain, from the nature of
the case it simmered there, and then
boiled little. and simmered and boiled
again. Like most people Of genius.
Jakey was unconscious of his own pow
ers, but there was one person in whom,
next to Mark. he had great confidence:
that was his sister Souri,. Then came
the thought that if Souri, were only
there ''she mought do heap" This
led Jakey up to the problem how to get
her there. The problem was too diff
cult for his young brain to solve. so he
got no further until circumstances came
to his aid, or may he not have had the
germs of reason within him to 60 fur
ther without being definitely conscious
of them?
When he left Mark he went out into
the jailyard and began to stroll about
with his hands in his pockets To a
casual observer he was simply boy
with no playmates, who did not know
what to do with himself. If any one had
been near him he would have seen his
little eyes continually watching for some
means of communication with the out
side world. Occasionally he would
wander near the fence, first casting a
sly glance at the Jail. There were
cracks between the boards, and Jakey
was looking out for good wide crack
to spy through. At last he found
place to suit him and hoyered about it
listening for footstep, and occasionally
getting . quick glance through the
opening by putting his eye to it. But
Jikey knew well thatH caught at this he
would ;bs-called into tho jail and forced
to stay there. 20 he preferred, to rely on
his sense Of bearing rather than on his
SENSE Of sight. .>'-,-'s rs ss

and he was not soon rewarded. A man
went by. but he was too far; then an
other man. but Jakey studied his face
and let him go without stopping him.

A special dispatch to the Boston
Journal gives these figures regarding
the yield of maple sugar in Vermont
and New Hampshire for the past
season and the bounty paid thereon:
The work of inspecting and testing
maple sugar offered for bounty this sea-
son by licensed producers in the district
of New Hampshire closed this week at
the Government laboratory at Mont
pelier. The returns include Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont. The number
of samples tested has been II 262. This
represents 4,759,762 pounds of sugar.
OF this amount 4,043 $50 pounds gets a
bounty of IA cents pei pound, and 49,
002 pounds went below so and will re-
ceve no bounty.
The total amount of the bounty paid
to sugar producers is $72,467 "a, an
amount OF almost double that of last
year. The number OF licensed producers
this season was 5000 against 2750 in
80. Ofthe $72 1914 paid for bounty
this year in the district of New Hamp-
shire, more than 100000 goes to Yer
mont sugar makers.
II is estimated that the 5000 or more
licensed sugar makers i'll the state
produced about 100000 pounds this
year, making the total sugar yield for
the season nearly 100000 pounds

RAILROAD NOTES.

The four lines of elevated railroad
system, with the suburban added,
carry more than 20O,O0O,O00 people
year (215, 100000 in 1892, a
daily average of almost 100000
For this vast traffic more than
1000 cars and 800 locomotives are
required. The earnings of the ele-
waited system last year amounted to
a small fraction less than $11 ,000,-
900. The profits from the operation
were $5,000000 and the interest
charges and dividends paid were
$3,500,000. The total length Of the
road and its branches, exclusive of
the suburban, is less than thirty
miles and a halt, and in proportion
to its size the Manhattan Elevated
carries more people than any other
railroad, with the lowest ratio of
accidents to the business handled, of
any transportation company in ex-
istence.- New York Sun.

BARNUM,S COLUMBUS.

One of the most interesting
features of Barnums circus, which
will exhibit here July 25, will be the
historical presentation columbus
and the Discovery of America" In
this 1900 characters are represented
with 300 of the most expert dancers
from the leading theatres Of Europe.
The life of Columbus is illustrated
from the period beginning with his
residence in Portugal to the successful
termination OF his voyage Of discov-
cry, with all the principal events in
Spanish history during that time.
The Spanish sovereigns Ferdinand
and Isabella, with their brilliant
court, are reproduced with real
tournaments on foot and on horse
back, combats, festivals, and tri-
umphal professions. The seige of
the ancient cities of Baza and Grana-
va clIN IL Will llIS Ddl lINS
between the Spaniards and Moors.
The life of the Moorish kings are
accurately shown, with the feasts,
revelries, dances, ietes, and other
amusements, in the famed palace of
the Alhambra. The dress and
weapons of the soldiers, grandees,
mobiles, warriors and cavaliers, are
all historically correct. The scenery,
costing $4,000, shows the walls,
turrets, drawbridges, palaces, gates,
battlements and monuments of the
old cities of Spain, while the costumes
of the dancers, ladies Of the court,
the mobiles, priests, friars and mill
tary, are of the most brilliant char
acter and cost $250,000. Ancient
armour, weapons. cross bows, ar
quebuses, cannon, emblems, tri-
umphal cars, chariots and other OBJ
jects cost $4,000, and the whole of
the magnificent affair is of surpass-
ing worth, wealth and elegance.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Senator Edmund's Views.

~ have no legislation to propose
beyond the repeal Of the Sherman
law and the return to the monetary
laws which existed before 1878. |
have no doubt that the operation of
the Sherman law has helped to
bring about the present crisis.
There is also a great truth of history
illustrated by it, that great pros
perity comes in waves. When the
wave comes times are good, money
is easy, the government is in good
hands, and everybody is prosperous
in a degree. But there is crest of
the wave soon formed, there is
wild speculation, overproduction
and extravaganza. At last the crest
of the wave will break and carry de-
-structon with it.
"When we passed the Sherman
act we were between the devil and
the deep sea; something had to be
done. A crisis was impending. |

ing to take my share of the respon-
sibility, although | was not person
ally in favor of it. A canvass show
ed us that if we did not pass the act
the silver men would pass free sill
bill. About three-fourths OF the dem
ocrats and one-fourth of the repub-
leans would have voted for free
coinage bill. Ivoted for the Sher-
man law to prevent financial crisis
or free silver bill. The Senator'S
from New York, New England, New
Jersey and Maryland voted for the
bill for the same reason. urged in
the caucuses that the operation o.
the act be limited to FIVE and then to
ten years, but the amendment was
not accepted.
IL believe now if we had let the
crash come, the country today
even with the thermometer at 900 in
the shade, would have been more
comfortable. The crash would
have come and we should have re-
covered. y Interview with Ex.Sen

Result of the Credit system.
The crisis through which we are
passing, much as it is to be deplored
for the suffering it inficts on few
individuals, is legitimate result O
the abuse of credit, and is a severe
but wholesome process of re-estab
fishing a healthy state OF affairs. If
in the course of it, inflated values ar,
