The Louisville CourierJournal tells of a
ffty-three thousand acres in Mexico, half
of which is planted in coffee and the re-
mainder devoted to raising cattle. He en-
ploys about 250 men, who receive so cents a
day and board themselves. In transmitting
money for their payment the gentleman
sends New York exchange and has it con-
verted into Mexican dollars at the rate Of
three for one, so that 81 of American money
pays six days wages. That is the kind of a
wage system the Bryanites would have in
this country

heroine: A Poor Man.

In her novel, Jerome: Poor Man,
Miss Mary E. wilkins has made a much
greater success than in any of her former
sustained works of fiction. 1t has a unity
lacking in Pembroke" and an air of truth
fitness to nature not found in 'Madelon."
The scene, as in all her stories, short or
long. is laid in a small New England VIII
lage, and some of the people she depicts
have the same intensity of nature which
distinguishes all her characters-some OF
them. not ALL The hero, Jerome, is Of stern
make, but his sweetheart. Lucina, is of the
gentlest mold, and her father is a large
hearted generous man, with none of the
flintiness possessed by some of his neigh
bors In two or three other personages
amiable qualities prevail, and altogether the
community is more agreeable than the
writer is wont to permit. Every character
presented, even those who figure in a minor
way, stands out vividly. She portrays them
with but few touches, but with the hand OF
an artist who knows how to produce an
effect desired with absolute precision. Je-
rome's mother is a nervous invalid. the like
of whom is known TO every one-irritable,
fretful, reseatful toward the world, yet full
of eager interest in the affairs of her i'm
tied circle and dominant in her family. Je-
romes father. who scarcely appears in the
story, is rather shadowy, but II is plain
TO be seen that he is a man without
force enough of character TO stand w UNI
der the awful pressure OF poverty. This

proximate investment of 100000 In the

On the first of this month a law went into
effect in New York prohibiting the sale of
railroad ticket at a less price than the
card rate of the railroad issuing it. The
obvious intent of the law is to do away
with the "scalping' business. but it will be
impossible of enforcement and would prob
ably be held unconstitutional if tested. The
legal owner of a railroad ticket has right
to sell it for what he pleases. the same as

the farmers have. No matter what the
spectators have made the farmers are not

Resolved That as a body of teachers we

The use of alcohol and tobacco by teach

wearing of pants in the boot tops is not
very good form, but there is no moral prin-
ciple involved in parting the hair in the
middle. The Morgan County Institute seems

Thr Army Mule.


A gayly-bound volume, entitled THE
Army Mule" comes from the Bowen
Merrill Company, Indianapolis, which
house, by the way, is widely extending it's
book publishing business. The volume,
which is made up of a number of humorous
war sketches, is by Capt. Henry A. Castle,
formerly owner and editor of the-St. Paul
Dispatch and now general auditor of the
Postoffice Department. No one save
man who had served as a volunteer SOL
der and endured the varied experiences of
the civil war could have written these
sketches. Service in the army was not all
made up of hardships; it had at least
its mitigations in the way the native
American has of seeing the humor in seri-
Gus things-of relieving his nervous tension
by Joking on the eve of battle and in the
civil war were young men for the most
part, and though their purpose was serious
enough. their spirits were not cast down
and they found amusement in their sur
rOundings. This youthful spirit of leVity
is very well reproduced in the essay on the
army mule, which opens the volume, and
in the sketches following on the other
equally well-known institutions, THE SUIT
Ter" The Shelter Tent, and Dress Pa
rade." "Tf the mule could talk" the author
says, what new aspects would be given to
war memories; what side CLEANS would be
thrown on historic events what showers
and floods of reinforcement would be added
to the gurgling, vastly stream of patriotic
"reminiscences. He had his opinions the
conduct of the war, and on the character
of the warriors, also the transfers; but
those opinions remain unrecorded and, to
the sutler he says: although war without
a sutler would have been a barren ideality
worse than politics without the negro, or
the free coiner, or the PrOhibitioniSt not
taxed. yet even with him there was a not
infrequent flaw in its felicities The fact
may even at this late day be duly verified
by numerous surviving old soldiers, that

industriously, heroically in the work of the
