THE OPPOSITION manifested by some
OF the Northern republican press to the
incongruous idea OF parade of the ex
Confederates in that city, in Confeder-
ate uniform and with their old flag
fSing, next summer, should be sufficient
to nip it in the bud. The Confederate
flag is loved and respected in the South,
bn. not in the North, and love and re-
spect should only be manifested where
they are properly appreciated. not
where contemned. The Confederate
flag and uniform should only be exhib
tied on what was once Confederate soil
Gash is emotional, and may be INDUCED

TIE Superintendent of the Free
Labor Bureau for immigration on Ellis
Island, New York harbor, says: "The
Office is crowded with professional men
and scholars who do not know how to
work with their hands. We are short
on tailors, butchers and farmers" So
seems that in Europe, as in this coun-
try, education is not ss conducive to
prosperity as its advocates would have
it appear. Industry, thrift and
Common sense are not acquired at free
schools, aud the man without those
qualities will never succeed, though he
may know all the free schools can
teach.

HORSE SETS A Town GOLD MAD.-A
horse in Flatbusb, L. l., is responsible
for half the town being gold mad. The
horse the other day picked up in its
shoe a gold guinea, coined in the mint
of George II. in 1859. Tradition has it
that large quantities fgold were buried
il FIatbush before the revolution, and
many times the gold fever has been re-
vived, and people have dug over acres
in the search for this buried treasure.
Yesterday being a holiday, Flat.
bushers and many Brooklynites cele-
brated it by shovelipg dirt near where
the horse picked up the coin. They
worked and sweated and swore until
several ii y lots looked like newly
plowed fields, but not even a copper
penny appeared. Finally the people
who own the land had to call on the
police to save the new streets and lots

No MORE FAvoRs TO THE VATICAN.
Premier Crispi. in the Italian Chamber
of Deputies, yesterday said in reply to
interpretations regarding the law OF
guarantees to the Vatican that any
modification of the law would endan-
ger internal discord and cause feeling
of doubt to prevail abroad regarding
the policy of Italy toward the papacy.
Commenting on the resurgence of Cath
olic clericalism in several parts of the
world, the premier said it ought to in
spire a feeling Of apprehension as to
human progress. Nevertheless, he be-
lieved that special laws we're needless
to defend the rights of the State against
the abuse of the clergy.

IT'S now proposed that Judge COT
OF West Virginia shall be the republi-
can candidate for Vice President.
Judge Golf is as rank and sectional q
republican as any Northern member OF

hardly probable that the republican
party of the North will select for pos
s,ble Presidency man from Safe that
was once Virginia territory, and that
is now called Southern State.

The PRESIDENTS name was Kissed
at democratic assemblage in Mime

the Governor OF South Carolina and

Apresidential Possibility.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 29.-An effort
is being made to have the date of the
democratic State convention changed
from December IL to December 5, the
date of David B. Hills lecture here.
The home friends of Governor Mat
thews have an impression that New
York democrats are looking upon the
Governor not only as presidential
possibility but as probability, and it
is expected the visit of the New York
Senator will bring additional encour-
agemeut.

Mr.. ALEXANDER HUNTER.-A
Washington paper says: ''In the Gen
eral Land Office they have mighty
Nimrod, whose name is, appropriately,
Maj. Alexander Hunter. If he followed
his inclination he would make happy
bunting ground out of the entire extent
of public lands. His work, however
lies in the division of land claims and
contests, and he learns there that
the government has become too limited
a real estate owner to provide more
than ground enough for its Indians
and its white settlers to quarrel on.
Maj. Hunter, therefore, leaves the
public lands to the boomers, but on
the private lands of his friends and ac-
quaintauces he is a familiar figure in
v lcation time. Down in North Caro-
lima and along the Virginia shores
he shoots and snares and fishes, and is
seldom unsuccessful. With what his
gun and his rod bring down and up be
fills game bags and fish baskets, while
with what his sportsmanlike medita-
tons bring out from thought he fills
interesting pages on the magazines.
"Oulingn and many other periodicals,
which treat of outdoor pleasures, have
frequent contributions from his pen.
Mai Hunter is one of the most uni
versally liked clerks in his department
and numbers as many warm friends as
ever Virginia gentleman need care to
claim. The misfortune of deafness
hardly seems to interfere at al with
bis duties or his pleasures. He uses an
autophone at times, but his skill in
Zip reading" is so proficient that, with
out the aid of mechanical contrivances,
ne car join in or,linary conversation;
while he can follow lectures and public
speakers with as much ease and enjoy
ment as those who have their hearing
and probably with less ANNOYANCE.

this conversation be succinctly stated at

There could be no doubt as to the condi-

house now was. Compton feared he would
use profanity.
THE reason is this, SIR he roared. ''The
reason is that after five years Of your
trifing I wish to know what is your in

Compton at least had no reason for an

trick, for he held the. cards.

All that the head Of the house then said
is not sanctioned by the usage of good So

might in time acquire the instincts Of a

toward the gate, 'is as valueless to me as

SOCIAL INCIDENTS.

The moon was doing its best to make the
night as brilliant as the day. and it was
succeeding fairly well. Mr.. Lester Comp
ton had been aware for some time that 1t
would be we'll for him to delay his depar-
ture no longer; nevertheless. he vas re-
luctant to go. The thought of saying good
night seemed at that moment a most un-
welcome one, and moreover he fancied that
his reluctance was shared by another.
There was a shadow under the porch. an
oasis in the desert of moonlight, and they
were comfortably ensconced in that oasis.
A number Of things had been said, some
bearing on the moonlight and some only
concerning the inhabitants Of the oasis.
None of these things. it is true. was In

icence OF good faith. Compton could not
discover from his point of observation any
other inhabited oasis in the neighborhood,
and the streets appeared to have been given
up wholly to the moonlight and the fleet
ing zephyrs of the evening. Windows that
had previously shown bright one by one
gave UP their brilliance.

The four steps that he took toward the
gate were not meant as preliminary to

of physical fitness. His progress ended
there.

must tell me that you are sorry you said
I am a hirt."
Compton slowly retraced the four steps.
