A Horse Story

The Arab barbarian in our opinion, has
the greatest contempt for the way in which
Christians, as they call Europeans, treat and
train horses, says Harper's Young People

the horsedealers of the desert. What we
do in a single day in distance you take five or
six days to accomplish. Grand marches you
Christians make with your horses AS far as
from my nose to my earl"
a very amusing story is told of a learned
man, Abou-Obeida who was contemporary
of MamOun, the son of the famous Haroun-al-
Raschid. Like other ArahianS, he had writ
ten numerous volumes upon the qualities,
cOlOrs, and virtues of the horse. One day, at
the court of Mamoun, the Grand Vizier asked
a celebrated Arab poet who was present how
many books he had written upon the horse
"Only one. " replied the poet.
Then the Vizier put the same question to
AbOu-Obeida. ~
Fifty" was the answer

the poet.
The poet rose from his seat, took the ami

he placed his hand on it to indicate it's posi-

poetical illusions and the sayings and pro.
verbs or the Arabs referring to it.

him. Take the horse; he is yours

What NextP

The Hollins committee has abandoned
its reorganization scheme What next2
Three reorganization schemes in the Cen
trail railroad was concerned have been
abandoned, namely, the Olcott, the Spey-
er and the Hollins Hollins and his
friends took hold of the Central with an
announcement of great things they were
going to do. According to the idea they
gave out they thought the Central was
solvent and no reorganization was neces-
sary. They soon concluded the property
was not solvent, and provided re-organ-
ization scheme which, it has been stated
a majority of the security holders accept
ed. Now they have given up the scheme
because of the opposition they have en-
countered from the Richmond Terminal
and the holders of bonds of two roads
they did not take into their scheme.
VIII the road be recognized, or will it
be sold out to the highest bidder without
any reorganization plano If sold without
any plan the amount of the junior securi-
ty holders will get will not be enough to
pay one car fare to Thunderbolt And
yet the Central paid dividends at the rate
of per cent. per annum when it was
turned over to the Richmond and Dan
vile little more than two years ago.

little girl with the auburn rfnEiets had ut
tered a little shrek o. delight when she
found for the FIRST time in her life she tipped
the scales at over a hundred pounds The
youthful matron IN black who had said an
along that 10 was only her mourning that
made her look thinner. was triumphant when
her avoirdupOis was registered at III. A for
the fair creature with thetballoon sleeves and
inclpient crinoline, she declared THAT she had
never before weighed within eight pounds
as much
When the latest young lady got aboard she
said with amiable resignation:
Put on the fifty pound weight III need
So the iron disc representing City pounds
was put on. and the register was sid
along by the girl with the auburn

drop.

giggled the unfeeling creature in the balloon
The latest young lady began to look
alarmed.
1t isn't So" she exclaimed indig-
nantly. Il don't weigh an ounce over 17s

But the girl with auburn ringlets had al

1t promptly registered POP pounds.
The latest young lady looked as though she
did not know whether to burst into tears or to
slap off the bonnet Of the girl with the auburn
ringlets and stamp on it.
1t Is cheat and a horrid fraud!' she de-
clared. Then she raised her parasol with an
emphasis that nearly broke one of the ribs,
and marched away.
just at that moment a colored waiter passed
by with basketful of napkins. The youthful
matron in black stopped him.
Is this weighing scale correct?" she said.

his head, he added: "Dey is heavyweight

His first Official act-and the only one
he performed, so far as is luown-was to
write his resignation, which was proper
ly and promptly accepted. Mr.. Pierce
claims that he was allowed thirty days
to reach his post. He consumed thirty
two days in getting there, and is now
kicking because pay for those two days
at the rate of S16 a day, was deducted
from his salary. Pierce's appointment
was probably made for the purpose of af-

The Mayor and the Police.

The mayor, judging from his annual re-
port, is not proud of the police force. He
says some things about it which are not
at all complimentary. He thinks it is
lacking in important particulars, and that
its officers are responsible for the condi-
ton af affairs.
The city pays 500, 900 year for police
service, and it is entitled to a good and
efficient force. Is it not the duty of the
council to take notice of that part of the
mayors report referring to the police and
make a thorough investigation of the
charges therein contained, with the view
of bringing out clearly the actual con-
dition of the force and of assisting
upon such reforms as may
be regarded as imperatively necessary2
Surely the council has the power to correct
whatever shortcomings there may be in
the force. The mayor says the commit
tee on police has no power to correct
them, but it has authority to make rec
concentrations that are intended to in
crease the efficiency of the force. Let
the committee make its recommendations
and that will bring the whole, matter be
fore the council. The council can hardly
afford to allow the criticism of
the mayor to pass unnoticed

She Never Came Back.

She was coy young woman, says the Chi
cago Herald, and she looked decidedly pretty
in her new summer costume when Guard
White beheld her sitting on one of the divans
in the art gallery yesterday afternoon. He
gave her several of his most killing looks and
she responded with the sweetest OF smiles
and the heart of the young man in blue beat
so hard that the kettledrums in the Turkish
village were not to be compared for sound. AS
he gazed into the young woman s limpid eyes
the order of Col. Rice, that all members of
the Columbian guard must desist from fiirt-
ing, was forgotten As he walked proudly TO
and fro, each turn brought him nearer to the
smiling beauty and each time his manly
bosom was thrilled by the smile she gave him
This sort Of thing went on for several min
utes, when she arose, and, as she swept into
the vestibule, she cast him sidelong glance
which plainly said. Follow me-' The guard
did so. BY the side OF one of the columns
stood his charmer, and she extended dainty
hand which sank out OF view in his white
glove. After few minutes conversation the

Last February Representative Tarsn-
ney of Missouri, discussing in the House
the abuses in the pension office, made this
remarkable declaration; 81 speak not in
Jest but in sober truth, and from the re-
cord, when l declare to this House and to
thecountry that pensions have been grant
ed fo~ loss of hair-on account of bald
ness. Think of the diminishing effect
upon mans capacity to earn a support
by manuel labor that must result from
the disability of baldness?" Of course
the republicans denied that there was on
the rolls any pensioner whose sole disa-
bility consisted of badness commissioner
Raum was especially vigorous in his de-
NAL But Tarsney's statement has been
verified The pensioners name is Allen
G. Peck. While serving with Com
pany H, First Rhode Island Light Artill-
cry he had fever and his hair fell out. He
applied fC- a pension, and it was granted
at the rate of "a per month, and to carry
1864 back pension, The medical exami-
ner who examined Peck reported against
the claim, but it was allowed over his
negative report, and it was this examiner
who reported the case to Mr.. Tarsney. 1t
would be interesting to know if there are
old soldiers on the rolls drawing pensions
for freckles, or for loss of teeth. These
are at least as bad as being baldheaded or
having corn on the great toe.

A Charlestonian who recently paid a
visit to Savannah has written a column
letter to the News and Courier, con
trasting Savannah's pluck and progrc IS
with Charleston's lack Of progress. Our
hotels, asphalt-paved streets. splendid
system of electric railways, unrivalled
shipping facilities, and the absence of
ito rent cards on the doors of our bust
ness houses. struck him forcibly. after
long familiarity with Charleston affairs.
And his comparison of Tybee with Sulli-
vans Island could not be improved upon
by a native Savannahian Saws he:
"Those of US who have never been out
side the city or state can hardly realize
how far behind the times we are; it is
sickening to visit Savannah and see the
life and hustle in business and then wit
ness the sleepy look that pervades the
average Charlestonian" In that exclarl-
alton, "those of US who have never been
outside the city, etc" the cause of
Charleston's apathy is suggested. The
average Charlestonian is saturated with
the belief that that town" is the only city,
and that everything must go town s"
way. Charlestonians are advised as an
incentive to progress, to go out and see
how far ahead of them the world has ad-
Yanced. Let them come to Savannah, as
the News and Courier's correspondent
did, and receive an object lesson showing
what energy and hberality can accom-
plish.

The Charleston News and Courier has
compiled a record of the cotton manufac-
turing industries in South Carolina which
shows that the state has spindles and
looms to manufacture at least one-third
of its cotton crop. 1t is estimated that
at present the amount of capital in
cotton mills in the state is $4,000 600,
with another S1,0OO,OOO worth of mills in
sight The showing is very encouraging
indeed. 1t proves that the mills are COM
ing to the cotton, and that the day is not
far distant when the south will supply
large part of the world with its cotton
cloths. What is needed now is for the
southern states to exert themselves to in
duce the investment of capital in man
ufacturing enterprises.
