A CONSIDERATE DOMESTIC,

A young lady lately and happily married
has literary man for her husband, who
does all Of his work at home 1t is very
good work and pays very well, and as
they are 50 newly welded they are de-
lighted with the opportunities of being al
most constantly together.
Recently they got new servant, a buX-
ON German girl, who proved herself
handy and also seemed to have a deep in
terest in the affairs of the young couple.
OF course she saw the husband around
the house Il great deal, but her mistress
was not prepared for the following:
..OgScuse me. Mrs Blank, but l like to
say to you something
We'll, Renal"
You won't be mad by me- airetty."
Why, what is it you wish to say"
The girl blushed, fumbled her apron,
stammefed and then replied:
Veil, yyu pay me $40 mont
And can't pay any more" said the
mistress, decisively.
Its not dot" responded the girl but

WHEN SHE WIHSES HERSELF A MAN.

There are times when Il girl sincerely
and devoutlv wishes that she were man.
Here are but few instances:
When she realizes that she hasn't the
courage to 90 to sleep without looking
under the bed for a burglar.
When she loses a train. 1t would be
such a comfort to indulge in an assortment
of masculine explosive epithets.
When she goes into her room in the dark
and while fumbling around for matches
sticks her fingers into sixteen different
cold-cream jars.
When she is about to begin to curl her
hair And when she is about to powder
her nose until it resembles IA plaster-of
paris nose.
When she tries to walk upstairs and
finds that she is only mcandering up the
the front of her new tailor-made gown.
When she has to put things that look
like rat traps in her sleeves to make her
sleeves stick out, and when the rat-traps
DIG roseatc sketches on her arms.
When she thinks how she would get up
in a street car and give a poor tired out
woman seat and then run for doctor
when the poor, tirel-out woman tainted

ABSOLUTELY PURE
LONDON PAWNBROKERS.

Believing that, just as riches beget rich
es, so poverty begets poverty, determined
to pay visit to the East End of London
to make inquiry concerning the interest
which the poor have to pay for the tenn
porary loan of few shillings. | went to
the shop of a well-known respectable
pawnbroker in Whitechapel, and asked
him to have the kindness to furnish me
with such information as he possessed re-
specting the habits and pecuniary circum-
stances of the poor. For instance,' |
said, "What is the smallest sum they can
borrow on their belongings: Can they
borrow less than half Il CROWN"
He smiled good-humorcdly at my ignor-
of pledges upon which he had not lent
more than sixpence each
| said: 'What do you charge for the
loan of siXpcnce:'
He replied: The tariff is arranged by
act of Parliament and is Il half-pennv per
month for every two shillings, or less, on
sums under f2; and a halfpcnny per month
for every half a crown above that sum, up
to flo, beyond which sum the loan be
comes matter of private contract
But, | remarked, 'that rate of charge
is 90 per cent. for those who have the
more valuable securities to give and 25 per
cent. for the very poor Is not that un-
reasonably hard on those who most need
assistance:'
Such is the act Of parliament" he ans
wcred
You stated just now" l continued,
that the charge is Il halfpcnny per month
for every two shillings or less. Do you,
then, charge halfpenny for the loan of
sixpence: Why, that is 100 per cent?
He shrugged his shoulders, and again
replied such is the act of parliament"
And if some of the things remain in
pawn less than Il month, what thcn.' |
asked
He said, THE charge is just the same
for week as for month";
Worse and worse" l exclaimed ''for
if poor woman is charged a halfpenny a
week for the loan of SiNpencc, that is at
the rate of j. 2d. year, or over 4G0 per
cent
Yes he said, land some things re-
main i'll pawn only day. | will give you
an instance: During last winter poor
woman one evening brought little boys
pair of boots, upon the security of which
| lent her siXpence; the next morning
early she brought Il coverlct which had
evidently been just taken off bed, for it
was quite warm, and pledged that for six
pence; and with the siXpcncc thus OBJ
tanned, and halfpenny for interest, she
redeemed the little boys boots, so as to let
him go to school. In the evening the little
boys boots were brought back, pledged
again gor sixpence, and with that six
pence and Il halfpenny for interest the
coverlet was redcemcd and this double
daily pawning went on until warm wealth
er rendered the coverlct unnecessary
And did she pay Il halfpenny each
time:' | asked in horror
''Certainly,' he replied; that is what is
arranged in the act of parliament"
Good Hcayensr | exclaimed; why,
siXpence a week interest for the loan of
sixpence is 100 per cent per week. and as
there are y weeks in Il yea, that is -
times 100 per cent. or 5000 per annum' -

HIDDEN THINGS.

There's land near the brink of the river of pain
The land of the might have becn,'
AMI unto its gates comes the beggar and king,
Spotless women and sinful thing,
Hearts that bleed and lips that sing,
As they stand the ioy-stars wane.
There's rongh bridge spanning. the chasm o
doubt
The bridge of the past and gone,
And over the stones pass once in a while,
Feet that know many a weary mile,
Heats that are pure and hearts that are vile,
And the guide lamp of hope burns out.
There's page turned down in the books of years
The page of regretted things,
And over its lines, with Sobbing sigh,
Glance ewes that are wet and eyes that dry,
Ard Jealous hands hide it, they know not why,
I'of lis blotted and blistere,i with tears.
There's blackened urn on a broken shaft
Holding ashes of shattered gods,
And hearts that are bitter and hearts that forget
And memries dead-dreams living yet,
And stray CLEANS from suns forever se-,
Come and weep where of old they laughed
There's court that is held in the temple If love
The court of the hidden pain:
And We that are meek, and we that are proud,
Drop our voice and whisper, lest speaking aloud
our tunes draw hither a curious crowd
Judge US, Thou who art Ruler above.

CHARGES CORRUPTION.

Last Monday night the populists
of Fulton county met at the court
house in Atlanta to select delegates
to their state senatorial convention
for Cobb, Clayton and Fulton. The
delegates were soon selected, but
the selections not being satisfactory
to some present, charges of corrup-
ton were freely made, a dissatisfied
one saying that the movement back
of it was as rotten as future punish
ment, or words to that effect.
Is it true that the populists are
waking up to the facs that party

who compose it.-Conyers Banner.

Reports to the freight agents Of
western railway lines are to the
effect that the western corn crop
this year will be something phe-
nomenal, but that wheat will be a
little off. The manager of the Rock
Island road said day or two ago
at the weather continues favorable,
this years corn crop along our lines
will be more than we can haul for
two years. There has never before
been such showing at this of the
year." He estimates that Kansas
alone will produce 275, 100000
bushels Of corn, which would be
100000 more than the unprece-
denied crop 1888.

AS far as heard from the list OF
the killed and injured among the
Chicago rioters include the names
of Bach, Warzo wski, Burke, Fleisch-
er, Kronberg, Jackman, Schultz,
Smidt, Sezrijanski, Bocknur, Engel-
fen, Zajewski: Jeppeskey, Kusluski,
Kerr, Ode, Singer Schanski, Sulli-
van, Williams and Zurawski. Many
others nave been injured whose
names are not known, but it is fair
to suppose they are similar to those
given. Now, about how many Of
these are native>born Americans
and how many of them are natural
lied citizens J? If that proposed law
for the expectation of unnaturalized
foreigners melting to or engaging
in riotous and lawless acts were in
force how many of these men would
escape its righteous judgment?

President Cleveland received a

informed them that he would ap>
point commission of three mem
bers, Of whom the United States
com missioner OF labor shall be thu
chairman, under tbs chapter 1903
OF the law of 1868, to inquire into
and investigate thoroughly the causes
leading up to the labor disturbances
Of the country. Pullman will be
investigated as well as Debs.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1894-07-19

Pullman by his refusal to arbi-
trate and show kindly sympathy
for his men has not raised himself
in the estimation of the public any
more than Debs has. The strike
should have been confined to Pull
mans shops, and not extended to
railroads which were under contract
to pull Pullman cars. To force
railroads to violate contracts, is
something courts of the country
cannot do, let alone mobs.
