A Pretty Incident.

"A newsboy took the Sixth
Avenue elevated railroad cars at
Park Place, New York, at noon on
Thanksgiving day, and sliding
into one of the cars seats fell
asleep. At Grand Street two
young woman got on and took
seats opposite to the lad. His feet
were bare and his hat had fallen
off. Presently one young girl
leaned over and placed her muff
under the little fellows dirty
cheek. An old gentleman smiled
at the act, and, without saying
anything, held out a quarter with
a nod toward the boy. The girl
hesitated moment and then
reached for it. The next man
as silently offered dime, a wo-
man across the aisle held out
some pennies, and before she
knew it, the girl, with flaming
cheeks, had taken money from
every passenger in that end of the
car. She quietly slipped the
amount into the sleeping lads
pocket, removed her muff gently
from under his head without
rousing him, and got off at
Twenty-third Street, including all
the passengers in a pretty little
inclination of tho head that seemed

Economy Among the F farmers

Colonel Duncan, the Manager
of the Alliance Exchange, reports
much saving to the farmer this
year by their good luck in securing
an efficient cotton tie at greatly
reduced prices. These ties are
made out of the sound pieces cut
from ties that have been already
used. They are strongly Joined
and hold the bale as firmly as the
new tie. The saving is fifteen
cents per bundle and will aggregate
nearly 100000 saved to the cot
ton growers in the South. A
saving has also been achieved
through the use of bags, very
much like the burlaps, but of a
coarser texture. These bags are
the outer coverings to the sugar,
sacks which came with shipments
from the West Indies, and when
cut open two of them make just
the proper size pieces for one bale
of cotton. They are much less
liable to tearing than the gunny
.bagging and make much neater
looking bale. Colonel Duncan
says that they cost a cent and a
half Rss per yard than the gunny,
owing to the fact solely that they
have been used. The saving to.
the South in5this item would be
about 500 .OO9 if the supply Of
bales were sufficient TO coyerthe:
whele crop. In our State Aaio one,
SONS UU00 would Sc saved. This
covering is extensively used over
the South.

We are inclined to fear that
Judge simonton's decision send
ing Constable Swan to jail without
recourse to bail a false step which
will rebound against the railroads.
His Honor, in our opinion, clearly
demonstrated that the States
officer had committed an unwar-
ranted trespass, but the severe SEN
tence he saw fit to impose for the
offence as contempt of court was
rather far-fetched and will be at
tributed TO a spirit of revenge.

Every boy should cultivate the
faculty of observation. If he does
SO designedly it will not be long
before he will do so uncon-
sciously. 1t is better to learn a
thing by observation than by
experience, especially if it is
something to our detriment. I
would prefer to know which is
the toadstool and which is the
mushroom by observation rather
than by experiment, for the latter
might cost me my life. There is
hardly a vocation in which
observation is not absolutely
essential. It adds to the pro-
fciency of the chemist, the
naturalist, the mining expert and
the frontiersman. Observation
quickens experiment. 1t leads to
inference, to deduction, to class
ifcation, and thus theories are
formulated and sciences establis-
he'd.
An observing boy will become
an observing man, and as boy and
man he will have advantages over
those who have not GUILTY. ated the
faculty.
A child may know more than q
philosopher about matters that
may not have come under the
observation of the philosopher.

/ Already the Goyernoris talking of
retaliation through Legislative &C
tioa against the railroads, andit
should not be forgotten that it is a
game at which the State Admins

Federal Courts with the power of
the nation behind them.
The spectacle which now creates
a silly giggle at the State constable
incarcerated in a cell, without the
alternative of bail, with common
criminals, may later on be used to
incense and still further solidify
the element arrayed against this
city and which has it in its power
to still further legislate against
this city's interests. Those who
are shortsighted enough to laugh
now might have occasion to mourn
later.
