Sometimes a young lad will strike a
truth in his random talk, says Harper's
Bazaar. Talking to a middle-aged woman
one day, a young fellow said, confidential
ly: You see, Mrs. R, my sisters think
so much of the conventionalities. They
are always telling me that only common
been taught properly don't do this thing
or the other thing. Now, / think, some
times they are mistaken. Lots of nice
girls do things they didn't used to do
They ride bicycles, and they go in par
ties or clubs with their brothers or friends
They can be jolly and good comrades with
a boy but they are nice, too, and just
as we'll behaved as my sisters"
Yes, l think that, too" replied the
lady. "And you don't think it makes the
girls any worse? What about the boys?'
1T makes the girls more friendly and
pleasant than those who stay at home
emphatically. And 1t does something
else. 1t makes us fellows more careful in
what we do or say when girls go every
where as well as we do. Isn't a bicycle
tour, or a camping out, or a tramp in
the country, as good sport, and don't it
make the fellows better behaved when
girls are along? Yes, sir l don't want
to go to places where the girls can't go :
but I do think that the girls ought to
give way, too, in the matter. and try to
go around to all the places and take part
The boys want the girls, and do believe
it would do the girls good, too, and
wouldn't hurt them bit.
And this expression of the opinion of a
well-brought-up young American boy is
something for the mothers of girls to think

We have called attention several times
10 the advantages which Savannah pos
sesses as an exporting point for western
grain Not 13ng ago. IL was stated that
the Centrars grain elevator was being put
in order for the purpose OF making an ex-
pertinent in the shipment Of grain. Has
the purpose 10 make an experiment been
abandoned, II is 10 be hoped not. We
feel sure that If the shipment OF grain
through this port is once begun fl will not
only be continued. but will grow 10 large
proportions.
In Sundays Times-Democrat the state
ment was made that during the month Of
January grain was shipped from New Or
leans to the amount OF 3.505.6l7 bushels
The amount shipped from that port was
more than double the amount shipped
from New York. For seven months end
ing jan 81. the amount shipped was 1885,
40 bushels. The Times-Democrat re-
marks that New Orleans is now shipping
about one-third of the corn that leaves
the country and that the indications are
that the time is not distant when the bulk
Of the grain shipments will be by way Of
that city.
1t is time that Savannah was doing
something to bring grain in this direction
that is intended for export. There is no
good reason why millions Of bushels
should not be handled here every year.
The climate for grain is better here than
at New Orleans. and ocean freights are
lower. All that is needed to give this
port a splendid grain shipping business
is energy and enterprise.
There was great hesitation about begin
ming to ship grain through New Orleans
Many objections were raised. There were
men bold and enterprising enough. how
ever. TO make the experiment. and New
Orleans is now the chief grain exporting
port of the country.
It took quite an effort to make this city
a shipping port for phosphate rock. Now
the shipments of that commodity are large
and are gradually increasing. Let us

At about o'clock in the morning Mr..
jefferson was startled by violent thump-
ing on his door. When he struggled into
consciousness, and realized that he had
left no call at the office, he was natur-
ally indignant. But his sleep was spoiled
for that morning, so he arose, and soon
after appeared before the clerk.
See here he demanded of this indi-
vidual, why was L called at this I'M
earthly hour?'
II don't know, sir" answered the clerk.

The Irishman was accordingly sum-
moned. Said the clerk:
Mike, there was no call for Mr.. Jeffer-
son. Why did you disturb him."
Taking the clerk by the lapel of the
coat, the Hibernian led him to one side,

FROM the Boston Herald.
1t is not generally known that Mr.
Charles Dudley Warner sometimes drops
into poetry for the delectation of his
friends. He has done this to celebrate
seldom allowed his illusions to appear in
print We are strongly inclined, from in
ternal evidence, to suspect that the follow
ing verses, which have just appeared in
the Hartford Courant, are from his grace
full pen:
THE DANCE OF THE BoNNETs.
All up and down the brilliant house
Through circle, box, parquet,,
Sat rows and rows of waiting folk,
Men, danes and damsels gay;
All with their bright expectant looks,
Care-free as if in story books,
Impatient for the play.
At last the lights turned, sudden, low.
The curtain upward went,
Each voice was hushed and garments stir;
With eyes and ears intent
Upon the sparkling, lovely scene
With elfs and fays the brooks between
Each eager face was bent
But one, aghast, could nothing see
Except monstrous plume;
While three red roses high awave-
From Paris skill abloom-
Before another's straining eyes,
With saucy tilt and savage size,
Did loom, and loom, and loom.
And hard by this another sat.
Meek soul but now a-rage,
For two wide-spreading,. fan-like wings
Concealed just half the stage.
Sometimes players head or hand
Or fragment of a dancing band
Would fall within his gauge.
One dame. behind ribbon tower
Felt honest. true amaze
That thoughtful she of tiniest toque
Must thus be spoiled of gaze
She knew not that her light aigrette
To eyes behind would only let
Things pass as through haze.
And so the dance began--to right,
To left-to right again
The flower. the feather, silken bow.
The wing of bright bird slain.
o weird chassei row after row,
The bonnets come, the bonnets go.
Till curtain drops and from the show.
Wend weary eyes and brain.

The straldliug of the silver question is
bad enough. hut the plan to deal with it
suggested by an Arizona republican named
Fitch. and which apparently has the ap-
prevail Of the New York Tribune. is in
fnitely worse. because il is cowardly. The
Fitch plan is 10 eliminate the silver ques-
ton from the presidential campaign by
having the republican national convention
remit II to the people Of the congressional
districts for settlement. with the under
standing that if the republican presiden-
tial candidate should be elected he would
not veto any silver bill that might be sent
TO him by congress.
The plan. however. would not eliminate
the silver question from the campaign.
The question would be prominent in every
congressional CONVENTION, and therefore. in
every congressional district 1t would en-
ter into the presidential campaign just as
much as IF there We're a declaration I'm
respect to it in the national platform.
The right way TO meet the silver ques-
ton is TO meet it squarcly and fairly. Let
the national convention make a declara-
ton IN respect to it in harmony
with the views Of the majority
or the delegates. There is no
doubt that both the democratic and repub-
lican national conventions will declare for
sound money. The populist party how
ever, viii have a declaration in its plat
form in favor Of free silver coinage. and
those who don't like the democratic or re-
publican platform can vote the populist
ticket That is the only thoroughly honest
way out of the difficulty. We have no
doubt that before the campaign is over
the people viii be so well informed on the
silver question that the number of silver
ties will be much less than it is now-in
fact, much less than it was at the last
presidential election.
The course Of the New York Tribune
in respect to the Fitch plan excites no sur
prise. The republican party has been
lodging. the silver issue for years. Much
of the present difficulty with which the
treasury is now contending is due TO the
make-shift silver legislation of that party.
If it had stood squarely for sound money
when the free silver coinage agitation be-
gan that agitation would have disappear
ed from the political horizon long ago.
