The WEATHER yesterday was de-
cidedly winterish, northwest gale pre-
vailing, which rendered it extremely
unpleasant out of doors. The day was
remarkably quiet, there being but few
people on the streets. The churches
had fair congregations in the morning,
but there was noticeable falling off in
the attendance at night.

The RACE TRACK.-A telegram from
Washington to the New York Herald
says: It is reported that the principal
stockholders of the Virginia Jockey
Club held meeting Saturday night,
and that Messrs. Mcintyre and Egan
sold their shares to Messrs. Hill and
Kirk. The latter two will continue
the meeting at st. Asaph after Decem-
Der /. 1t is also rumored that George
Engeman and J. B. Collins will take
an interest in the concern. Stephen
Stillwell and ex Speaker Flynn, of New
Jersey, are named as the future secre-
tary and starter respectively. The
names of the judges and other officials
could not be ascertained. In order to
learn if there world be compromise
between the st. Asaph association and
the Old Dominion Jockey Club after
December l, when the former becomes
an "outlawed" association, called on
Secretary G.. r. Tompkins, of the Old
Dominion Jockey Club. That gentle
man declined to state his opinion, but
he told me that if q compromise was
sought for it would have to come from
the other party. Gall l can tell you, y
Mr.. Tompkins remarked, lis that If
the st. Asaph meeting continues after
December l the Old Dominion Jockey
Club will raise its purses to the same
amount as that of the other track"
A telegram from Washington to the
New York SIN says: To cool-thinking,
clear-headed observers the policy OF
racing here in December, January, and
February, and thus becoming outlawed
IS suicidal, as both the Jockey Club
and the Western Turf Congress have
placed bar upon the sport of racing
out of season. No horses with any
pretensions to class or turfmen of any
prominence will patronize the game,
while no rider of any note will mar his
future by jumping the Jockey Clut
and the Western Turf Congress. The
betting, too, is bound to fall of, and
the heavy spectators will to man
dodge Washington and 60 to San Fran,
cisco or New Orleans until the spring
rolls around.

THE SECTIONS.

The government cannot be so ad-
mlulstered as that its policies would
be equally favorable to the people
OF all the sections. In many re-
spects the interests of the people of
the various sections are different.
In some particulars they are actual
ly antagonistic. That being true,
legislation which would be best for
the North would often be worst for
the South. Policies which would
deserve to meet With favor in the
West would be likely to stir up bit>
ter antagonism in the East. The
country is too immense in size and
too conflicting in hopes and inter-
ests tor it ever to be possible so to
govern it as to satisfy all the classes
oil the people in all the sections.
This want Of homogeneity has exist
ed ever since the government was
founded; and what may have been
simply a want of sameness, in the
beginning, has now developed into
open and yearly increasing antago>
nism in which a common purpose
and a common interest are impossi-
bic. In this condition of things, it
is impossible but that some section
or sections of the country will al.
ways be burdened and oppressed by
legislation demanded by the selfish
and antagonistic necessities of the
other and ruling sections. That is
Just the case now, and it will con.
tinue to be the case, under varying
conditions, so long as the govern.
ment, as now constituted, Lasts

The Memphis Commercial, in
commenting upon an editorial which
recently appeared in the Baltimore
Sun, says: "The South has wan
tonly thrown away millions of dol
lars by their foolish policy of selling
her raw material and buying man
utactured products, There is no
other staple-producing section in
the world which practices this suicl-
dial policy. Once it was claimed
that the manufacture of cotton goods
was an exclusive New England in
dustry on account of the existence
of water power in the manufactur-
ing Northeast, which rendered it
possible for Massachusetts and New
Hampshire manufacturers to pro>
duce their goods cheaper than could
be done in the South, even with dis
lance against them. That is no
longer true, however. Manufactur,
ers on the very shores of the Merri-
mac have abandoned water power
and have adopted steam on account
of its greater cheapness. There is
no obstacle in the manufacture
of cotton goods in the South, except
ting the lack of enterprise and thrift
in The Southern people. A better
spirit is abroad, though, now, and
there is reason to hope that our
section will not continue at tho
worlds mercy on account of the
neglect of resources and opportuni'
ty."

EYES,.

The long, almond-shaped eye with
thick eyellds covering nearly half of
the pupil, when taken in connection
with the full brow, is indicative of
genius, and is often found in artists,
literary and scientific men, says the
New York Weekly. 1t is the eye
OF talent or impressibility. The
large, open, transparent eye, of
whatever color, is indicative of ele-
gance, of taste, of refinement, of wit,
of intelligence. Weakly marked
eyebrows indicate feeble constitu-
ton and tendency to melancholia,
Deep sunken eyes are selfish, while
eyes in which the whole iris shows
indicate erraticism, if not lunacy.
Bound eyes are indicative of inno-
cence; strongly protuberant eyes
are Indicative of weakness of both
mind and body. Eyes small and
close together typify cunning, while
those far apart and open indicate
frankness. The normal distance be-
tween the eyes is the width of one
eye; distance greater or less than
this intensifes the character sup>
posed to be symbolized. Sharp an
gle, turning down at the corners of
the eye are seen in persons of acute
judgment and penetration. WeIl-
open, steady eyes belong to the SIN
cere wide, staring eyes belong to
the impertinent. Grey eyes are
supposed to be the strongest, blue
the weakest, while large eyes are
most subject to the defect known as
nearsightedness.

Rome Tribune: DR.. H. V. Mil>
Ter has not lost his love of a GOOD
anecdote. ''Do you know Phil
Cook 2" said he after a momentary
pause in the conversation. OF
course everybody who has been
about the capitol knows Gen. Cook,
and I assented. "They tell this
story about Evans and Cook" said
the doctor. "On the eve of an en-
gagement, fraught with great dam
ger, Evans and Gordon met at the
door of a deserted cabin and Evans
suggested that they step into the
hut and have a word OF prayer.
Gordon assented and the went in.
A few moments later as they went
out of the door they met Gen. Cook,
told him what they had been doing
and asked if he would join them.
No. said he, tapping his canteen
significantly, Il have Just had some"

There is rich retired merchant
living in one of the suburbs of Bos-
ton who has reared, and educated
quite large family of boys and girls
without even naming them or allow
ing anyone else TO do so. He claims
that person has a perfect right to
choose his or her own name, and he
has vigorously insisted upon this
idea being carried on to the full
letter. All his children have borne
pet names until old enough to select
one for themselves.

INCREASE OF GOLD,

At the time of the passage o. the
Sherman law it was estimated that
the annual product of silver in the
United States was about "a, 100000
ounces. At the price which pre-
vailed when the purchasing clause
was repealed, this metal was worth
something less than s50,000,000.
The decline in the Price :since the
repeal has had the effect ::of closing
many mines in the West. and the
falling off in the product Of silver is
expected to be large. But it has
also had another effect, which was
not expected. The energy which
was devoted to the mining of silver
is not lost but has turned to the
production of gold, and 1t is now
confidently predicted that the out
put of that metal for the year will
show an increase of SIS, 100000 or
$4,000, 900, raising the total to S45,-
100000 or s50,00O,OOO and possibly
making good the loss of silver, so
the total product of both metals may
be as large as heretofore. Macon

COLLEGES NOT NECESSARY TO Sue
CESS.

A college is by no means necessa-
ry to success in life. Many of those
who have attained the highest posi-
ton and welded the greatest power
never saw the inside of college halls.
But this does not argue against
the value of a college education,
even though it be not always neces-
sary. 1t only shows that the best
training is that which fits one for
the work he has to do in life, and
the institution of learning serves
their purpose best when they best
serve mankind. 1t is, of first inn
portance that college should keep
in touch with the lite of the world.

The congested population of the
large cities north like New York,
Chicago and others are responsible
for the great misery that exists
among the vast numbers of the poor.
Thousands of untenanted acres of
land invite them to homes and COM
petent support elsewhere, but they
prefer the doubtful chances of maxi
ing a living in the overcrowded
cities.
