prominent Insurance man and many years
ago one of the most widely-known pilots on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, during a
chat with Cincinnati Enquirer reporter

THE correct root from which his assumed

Sellers was a steamboat commander on the
Mississippi and prepared articles for the
New Orleans Delta. Capt. Sellers was writ
ing "reminiscences of life on the father of
waters. The strange and sudden changes
in the Mississippi river channels are pro-
verbal, but Capt Sellers stories so exag-
gerated these conditions that general COM
ment and criticism was excited on all sides.

Under Pilot Bart Bowen. He was a mere
STRIPPING, and, being a cub pilot was not
considered experienced enough to associate
with the old water dogs.
But when the letters of Sellers appeared
in The Delta Clemens was among the first
to constitute himself critic. and over an
anonymous signature he wrote articles on
Sellers literary aspirations and his limited

ticies were published in the New Orleans
Picayune, and they were so funny and made
old Sellers SO ridiculous that he, being a
pompous fellow, became as mad as a June
bug in a lighted room.
He determined to find out the author of
the letters in the Picayune. So generally
were Clemens articles read that the secret
could not be kept. When he found out that

writer. his proud spirit was shaken with
grief and shame. Sellers stories were all

once again in well-known cafes is a pecu-
liar mark of Paris life.
The patrons Of the theaters have met in
the same way. hurrahed and eaten, paid
and rolled away in cabs. Those who have
stayed and those who come are noceurs,
and from I am till am. ii Is the noce,
the fete. While families may participate.
Ii Is not family life. This particularly Is
true Of all the new and splendid brasseries
and taverns. where the first days of Sep
sember find the oysters come again into
their kingdom with the world returning
back to Paris. In these taverns the silver
soup pot boils the hard-shell crabs (ecre-
visse) all the year round. except the month

most seems as IL the onion soup, the oys-
tiers and the coral-red ecrevisses, the hard
boiled eggs en- salade and the ham and sau-
sages and stout meat jelies of the taverns
(as distinct from restaurants) build up a
special type of femininity: never under
twenty-four years old and never over
thirty: always tall. fine, plump. with a
great face like full-blown rose; gracious,
careless. easy. habituated. solid. healthy.
With fine teeth and hair; as honest-looking
as an honest woman.

The falling in of old cafes to bloom again
as brasseries-besr restaurants-continues.
The last to go was the old Cafe Richie. To-
day IL is a brasserie. The Grand Cafe DE
meath the Jockey Club will be transformed
this fall into a brasserie. Almost the only
old-style cafe of great size and great i'm
portance now existing on the Boulevard
between the Opera and the Varieties is the
old Cafe de La Paix, beneath the Grand
Hotel And ii was sold last month to the
hotel. Its old proprietor retires. Its turn
to lower it's prices and draw beer will sure
ly come. This transformation of the old
style cafe into the new-style brasserie is
looked upor by old Parisians as a curse and
marks the fact that Paris has become as

From the Richmond Times.
We repeat, ii is not ignorance of what
We have thai keeps northern capital away
from the south. 1t is kept away by two
causes-cne the prevalent idea that We are
a people given to violent methods instead
of the peaceful ways of the law, and the
other the idea that We think the easiest
way to pay a debt is the best. The idea
that We are a people who prefer settling
personal differences with the pistol rather
than by the process OF the courts Is one
that has gone broadcast over the land, and
IL there is anything On earth that the cap
italst abhors il is a state of society in
which that notion prevails.
The other idea of our preference for the
easiest method as the best method of pay
ing debts is just as fatal TO us as the first
great deal has transpired I'm our
history within the past twenty-five years
which has cultivated this idea as one
OF the most atural Of products. 1t is not
Necessary to so over that, as its effiores-
clamor for free silver and cheap money.
The capitalist shuns the land where that is
the political philosophy as he shuns a
plaSue-striclSen district. Ii appears TO us
the height of idiotic folly to go around the
south preaching free silver and cheap
money, and then step over Mason and
Dixon's line and ask capitalists TO bring
their sound dollars into that same land,
where they will be compelled to exchange
them for rotten dollars.
