DIVORCED the Wrong Woman.

A good story is now being told at the ex-
pense Of a well known Louisville lawyer, says
the Louisville Post. II runs thus: Two wo-
men applied to the lawyer on the same day.
One wanted to be made femme sole the
other wanted a divorce. BY some hocus-
pocus sort of change, the names of the wo-
men were mixed and the woman who wanted
to be empowered 10 act as single woman
was granted "A divorce, and vice versa
1t happI ned that the husband OF the woman
who wanted to be made femme sole was a
drummer and in reading the paper from
Louisville, while he was in Texas he saw
where his wife had been granted divorce
She knew nothing Of the matter until her hus-
band wrote home and wanted to know what
was the matter, and what he had done that
she had gotten a divorce. He said he had
transferred all his property to her and did
not know how to account for her strange &C
tons. Then She consulted her lawyer, and
the apparent mystery was made plain. She
only wanted to he made a femme sole
whereas she had boon divorced.
hunor has it that the husband has returned
from Texas and fully understands the cir
cumstanceS in the case. but is afraid to visit
his own house until he and his wife are re-
married or the judgment of the court is set
aside.

The Neu Tariff at Work.

One Of the few protectionist news
papers in the south is the Birmingham
. Age-Herald II has not been very
great while since the Age-Herald was
irveighiug against tariff reductions, on
the ground that such reductions would
/ injure, or ruin. the coal and iron indus
/ tries of Alabama. Nevertheless. the
/ tariff reform bill was passed, and its
I operations. according 10 the Age-Herald's
own testimony, are in the direction Of
building up the very industries for which
the paper felt so much solicitude.
From an editorial in a recent issue of
the Age-Herald it is learned that coal
from Birmingham has been shipped 10
Cuba and sold under the coal from any
other country" The competition of
West Indian coal was one of the bugbears
that the protectionists brought out to
brighten the tariff reformers out Of put
ting coal on the free list yet we have it
that Birmingham coal is being sold
in Cuba cheaper than the coal Of any
other country.
The shipment of Birmingham coal to
Cuba has been profitable, says the Age
Herald, because Of the shipping rates.
Vessels could not get return cargoes, be-
cause the Mckinley tariff made it I'M
profitable to send Cuban goods TO this
country, hence high freights on the coal
had TO be charged But now that the
Mckinley law has been repealed and a
commerce-emancipat law substituted,
it becomes profitable to bring back car
goes from Cuba, and the rate on coal has
gone down. "Already, says our contemp-
orary, birmingham capitalists have been
quick to see this advantage, and are now
perfecting arrangements to establish
line of steamers between Mobile aud
Cuba. The Southern Railway Company
is interested with them, and will utilize
its leased line, the Birmingham and Mo
bile railroad, which runs through the
heart of the coal fields"
This is a practical illustration Of the
democratic tariff policy in operation.
Opening the doors to Cuban imports also
opens the door to Alabama exports,
widens Alabama's field of trade, makes
more work for her workingmen, leads to
the establishing Of a new American
steamship line, and makes business where
the old law suppressed business.

If the Washington correspondents are
TO be relied upon-and they somehow
have a way of telling pretty straight
stories as a general thing arrest of
Capt. Howgate, the defaulting chief Of
the weather bureau, may lead to some
sensational exposures involving men in
high official life, including two or three
senators, several representatives and
several officers Of the army and navy.
Capt Howgate was an officer in the regu-
lar army, and while in charge of the
weather bureau embezzled something
like $4,000. In 1880 he ran away. But,
according TO the story, he didn't run far.
II is alleged that he stopped within
nipety-six miles of Washington, and that
news Of his whereabouts was offered To
the treasury department and by it re-
fused. Howgate is a relic Of the Hayes
administration.

The Midway Piaisance at Fairs.

The Chicago exposition appears to have
had demOralizing effect upon county
fairs. The Midway Plaisance feature of
it was an extraordinarily attractive one
so attractive, in fact, that in different
parts OF the country the managers of
county fairs are advertising Midway
Plaisance attractions, and it is regrettable
that some of these attractions are not of
a very high moral standard. At the re-
cent county fair in Duchess county, New
York, one of the advertised attractions
was alleged Nautch dancing girls.
Women were not admitted to the exhibit
tion, which fact is good evidence of its
Objectionable character.
1t is noticeable that in the advertised
list of attractions of county fairs in this
and other states are to be found alleged
features of the Midway Plaisance that
was so famous at Chicago, and, in some
instances, the worst features This GER
tainly is not a development in the right
direction Nothing should be exhibited
at county fairs that does not tend TO
benefit or improve the people in some
direction.
County fairs are places where men take
their families, and the tone OF them
should be elevating. When there are side
shows or exhibitions advertised from
which women and children are excluded,
1t is pretty safe TO conclude that there are
men in control Of the fairs who would
willingly lower the standard of the moral
ity of community for the sake Of a few
dollars. Clean side shows and exhibitions
that are not connected with the products
of the farm, garden and household are
well enough at county fairs They help
TO amuse people who see little of the out
side of their farms, and brighten their
lives, but there is no excuse for introduc-
ing at county fairs the worst features
of the Midway Plaisance.

An overloaded Election.

The New York voter who at the ap-
preaching election casts his ballot intel
ligently will have accomplished a re
markable result. For there are so many
questions and candidates to be voted for.
and so much red tape to be observed in
the process of voting, that the ballot as a
whole will present a complex problem de-
handing a high order of intelligence for
its solution.
In New York city, there are to be voted
for in November governor, lieutenant
governor and judge of the court of APP
peals; congressman, members of the
legislature, mayor, a recorder, two
judges of the city court, a president of
the board of aldermen. and members of the
board of aldermen. Besides, there will
be voted upon thirty amendments to the
state constitution, rapid transit scheme
and a proposition to consolidate New
York and Brooklyn.
Taken together, this mass Of public
questions is enough to confuse the aver
age voter Added TO the difficulty Of
separating each issue and express
ing an intelligent opinion upon it,
viii be the trouble of marking that
opinion upon the blanket ballot in such
a manner that the vote will be counted
or the side the voter intends it to be. In
the Maine election the other day an ex-
governor and an ex-judge lost their bal
lots because they failed to mark them
correctly, Notwithstanding the ballots
they marked did not contain one-fourt h

that will be on the New York ballots.
II looks as if it would be necessary for

expedient the percentage of voters who
vote ntelligently upon all the questions
presented would probably be very small

Photographing the Clouds.

The poetry of the skies seem to lnav.
been caught in the latest specimens Of
NJ. Angot's new method of photograph
ing clouds. The blue Of sky, as rule,
acts as strongly on the sensitive plate
as the white Of clouds, and hence a re-
sort to arhfce is necessary to obtain
clear pictures. When the sun is hid by
the clouds, they come out very well in
the photograph, but for the best results
a dilute pyro-developer and few drops
7 Of bromide of potassium solution
should be employed, and the develop
ment should be effected slowly This
method, however, does not answer in
the case Of corrus clouds, which are
composed of snow crystals, and are the
most interesting in a picture. Such
clouds come out well in photographs
taken on the top Of a high mountain,
and Prof. Riggenbach has even sue
ceeded in taking them from low levels
Of the sky, which is polariZzcc1S, VIZ. a
N1col PRISM, OF black glass at an an
gle of 55 degrees in front of the lens
Of the camera. Angot's method, how
ever, is greatly superior to this, and
consists in placing a screen Of colored
glass transmitting only the yellow and
green, and stopping the blue and violet
rays, in front Of the camera. Ortho-
chromatic or isochromatic plates must
be used, as they are very sensitive to
the yellow and green rays from the
clouds. The best screen is formed by
two parallel panes Of glass five or seven
milllmeters apart, and having the
space between filled with an almost
saturated solution of bichromate Of
potash to which a few drops of hydro
chloric Of sulphuric acid have beep
added.

PNEUMATIC TUBES. -
The Success of This Method for
Mails in PhiIadeiphia.

While the experiment of the preu-
lhallc tube as the most mod arn method
Tor the transmission of the mails has
proved success, there is no likelihood
mat 1t will be adopted by the post
once department and put into general
use for long time. Such an innoya-
ton would not only he most expensive
10 the government, but in order to
perfect the system much time and
LABOR must necessarily be consumed in
the surveying Of the routes aud lavirp
of the tubes in the few large cities
where the postal service would warran ut
It's use. About a year ago a comtlny
was organized in Philadelphia, among
whom were several gentlemen who
witnessed the workings Of the Paris
system. A proposition was made bv
them to the postmaster general. in
which they agreed to lay a pneumatic
tube between the Philadelphia pyst-
office and the East~Chestnut street sta
uOn-aDOut half a mile distant-With-
out any expense to the government. in
the hope that in the event the depart
mcnt was satisfied with the success
OF the experiment it would be adopted
and put into general use. The COM
pany agreed to lay the tube and main
tain the expense for one year. The ex-
pertinent has been watched with the
closest interest by the postofficu Off
Gals, and the general opinion is that
it is q success il every particular. En-
couraged by it's practicability, a SIM
liar company was shortly afterward
formed in New York for the purpose
of laying a tube between New York
end Brooklyn. tIuch ;1ifliculty was ex-
perienced in getting the right OF way
over the Brooklyn bridge, but finally
consent was given and the work was
about to be started, when the general
depression in business and financial cir
cles set in and the plan was abandoned.
The Philadelphia company, however.
continued the use of its tube free of
expense to the government. On Feb.
last it's. contract expired, and they
were unwilling to continue the trans
mission Of the mails unless the gov
ernment shared a proportion of the
expense Application was made to the
postmaster general: and it was agreed
to do this and to maintain the tube
until next February. Although no spe-
cific appropria ion has ever been made
by ctrgress for experimenting with
the pneumatic tube, the postmaster
