"AngeIs UnaNvares."

Julia Ward Howe, in the Independent
a figure by my firesde stayed,
Plain was her garb and yelled her face;
A presence mystical she made,
Nor changed her attitude nor place.
Did l neglect my household ways
For pleasure wrought of pen or book?
She sighed a murmur of dispraise
AT which, methought the rafters shook
My young Delight did often win
My patient limits to outgo;
Thereafter, when l entered in,
That shrouded guest did threatening
show.
The SHOWS of life to chill me fell
Where many a gracious mate lay dead,
And moved my heart to break the spell
BY that ungracious phantom laid.
Now, who art thou that didst not smile
When 1 my maddest jest devised?
Who art thou, stark and grim the while
That men my tune and measure priced?
Without her pilgrim staff she rose,
Her weeds of darkness cast aside;
More dazzling than Olympian SHOWS
The beauty that those weeds did hide.
Most like solemn symphony
That lifts the heart from loWly things,
The voice with which she spoke to me
Did loose Contrition at its springs.
Q Duty! visitor divine!
Take all the wealth my house affords,
But make thy holy methods mine;
Speak to me the SURPRISING words!
Neglected once and undiscerned,
l pour my homage at thy feet.
Till 1 thy sacred law have learned,
Nor joy nor life can be complete.

what the Fever Scare Teaches.

Had the yellow fever on the Gulf coast
made its appearance earlier in the season
it is probable that there would have been
a serious epidemic in all the Gulf cities.
There is no fear now that there will be an
epidemic. The health authorities feel con-
ldent Of their ability TO prevent the fever
from assuming alarming proportions. No
doubt cases of fever viii continue to occur
in New Orleans and other cities until
frost and perhaps for several weeks al
ter the first frost, but they viii not be so
numerous as to cause people to fee from
their homes.
Light and mild as the fever has been il
has done a vast amount Of damage in the
south. The damage TO New Orleans alone
amounts TO millions of dollars. For weeks
her merchants have not been able to do
any business in the territory tributary to
her. In Mobile business houses have been
Closed aud railway trains and steamboat
lines have had little or nothing to do,
This paralysis Of trade, from which Gulf
coast cities have suffered, because Of a
few cases of yellow fever, ought to be a
southern cities II warns them that they
must keep their respective cities clean and
must see to it that all nearby lands
are properly drained. Good drainage
and good sanitary regulations, vigorous
ly enforced, may not prevent the coming
OF yellow fever, but there is no doubt that
they help 20 prevent its coming. A south
ern city that is clean has a good system
o. house drainage, and whose adjacent
lands are well drained stands a much bet
ter chance of escaping visitation of the
fever than one that is dirty and undrained.
one of the reasons why We urge that a
system Of house drainage be provided and
why we have been so persistent in de-
manding the draining of Musgrove swamp
and other swamps near the city is that
these improvements are necessary to the
continued good health of the city. When
we shall have a good house drainage sys-
TEN and the swamps adjacent to the city
shall have been well drained we shall
nave very little reason to be alarmed
about yellow fever. We shall feel that if
a case is brought here the danger that
the fever will spread VIII be very little.
The health authorities of southern cities
will deserve well of those they represent
if they heed the warning which this
years yellow fever conveys, and insist
vigorously upon such drainage as may be
necessary and such sanitary regulations
as appear to be wise The fever this year
will not be an unmixed evil if it arouses
those having the health Of southern cities
in their charge to the necessity for clean
illness and drainage.

wcVIer ana sherman.

During the course of his speech in ac-
acknowledgement Of the compliment paid
him by the demonstration in his behalf
in Havana the other night Capt. Gen.
Weyler made at least one statement which
should impress the John T. Morgans, the
Cabot Lodges, the Ethan Aliens and 9TH
er outraged friends of the Cuban cause
in this country, who are continually
harpiug upon the cruelties and excuses
of Weyler in the conduct of the Cuban
campaign The United States, Gen. Wey-
Ter said, have themselves been in the Gus
tom of ending war with war. Gen. Sher-
man, he declared, while on the march, de-
stroyed all of the resources of the south
that lay in his path and the Washington
government finished the war with war,
and not with a treaty.
IT would seem that many Of the Amerl
can enemies of Weyler had forgotten Sher-
man, the man who coined the expression,
war is hell" and who proved to the
world that war under him at least was
nothing short of hell. They seem to have
forgotten that Sherman devastated that
part Of the south through which he
marched to the extent that "a crow flying
over it would have to carry his rations."
They seem TO nave forgotten the thievery
rapine, arson, butchery and cruelty which
marked the conduct of many of Sherman's
troops on that terrible march to the sea.
The American enemies of Weyler-espec-
tally those living in the north--are moved
TO hysterical denunciations at the burn
ing of Cuban hospital; they forget that
they gloried in the deeds when Sherman
burned city destroyed plantations, de-
wasted homes. and left women and chill
dren starving. They cry out against the
cruel treatment which the "paciicos" Of
Cuba receive> under Weyler with
out recalling that the 'pacificos" of
the south Jared as badly at the hands of
Sherman. AS between the two, there is
not much room for thinking that "Wey-
Ter the Butcher" is a more severe com
mauder than was Sherman the hero"
Under the Weylers and the Shermans
war is helT' always

He Was So SENSITIVE.

A man stood on the rear platform of a
Cedar avenue car with a somewhat sus-
picious-Iooking package in his hand. He
was man of grave appearance, and his
necktie was a white one, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
On the platform beside him stood a
youth who had evidently been INDUCING
too freely in intoxicants. The youth look
ed at the package in the others hand
Then he smiled.
where did you get it flled?' he affabIy
inquired.
"Sirn' said the grave man, as he nerv-
ously shifted his package to the other
hand
Funny thing" said the youth with a
knowing wink at the conductor, that a
man can't take a boil TO get a little old
corn juice without being 'shamed of it. -
What do you mean, sir?' said the grave
man. He tried to push the package in his
side pocket as he spoke.
That's all right" cried the youth;
don't distress yourself on my account
There amt no spoilers in this crowd
Carry your boil like a man. There is no
body here to give you away" And he
aimed pleasant thrust at the ribs of the
grave man.
sir said the latter, with scathing i'm
pressiveness. you will have to refrain
from meddling with the affairs of others
when you get older"
That's an ungrateful return for my in
t'rest in your welfare" said the youth
with mock seriousness. Il was ius' 90
ing to tell you where you could get tn
largest quart in tn city for s-sixty cents. /"
This is my street." said the man with
the package. And he left the car.
"S-some people are so s-sensitive." said
the youth. Il don't b'lieve that was his
street at all"
And the conductor smiled

Heretofore the South Carolina dispen-
sary has given evidence of possessing
about as many lives as a cat is alleged
to have, but the chances are that the
ninth life has about reached its limit. The
board of control, which met few days
ago, found that the business was falling
off rapidly, and that there were a num-
Der of shortages in the county dispen-
saries. Upon the top of this comes the
fact that municipalities are recognizing
the original package stores as legitimate
enterprises, and are licensing, or rather
taxing them. as there is no law under
which they can be licensed. AS to the
temperance feature of the dispensary law,
that is pretty well illustrated in the case
of Charleston. Under the old system of
licensing saloons there were 200 places in
Charleston where drinks were dispensed;
under the disDensary there are said to be
moi less than $50 Places an increase of 25
per cent.

The alleged straw ballots on the mayor
atty contest in Greater New York that is
being taken by the World and the Jour
nal of that city. is interesting, from the
fact that they differ widely as to all the
candidates.
According TO the World, Judge Van
Wyck, the Tammauy candidate, leads all
the other candidates considerably, and
Mr. Low, the candidate of the Citi-
zens' Union, is next in popular strength.
Gen Tracy, the republican candidate, is
third in the contest, and Henry George,
the candidate of the united democrats,
lags considerably in the rear.
The Journals straw vote puts Henry
George a little in the lead, with Judge
Van Wyck a close second. Mr.. Low comes
third and Gen. Tracy fourth.
The fact that there is such a wide
difference between the results reached by
the two papers is a pretty good indication
that there is little or no reliance to be
placed upon the figures of either paper.
The men who are making the canvass
are not, in all proba bility, reliable. If the
account which the New York Sun gives
of one of them is correct, nobody need feel
safe in betting upon the figures of either
paper

In New Jersey last Sunday a tendem
bicycle was smashed by a cart, and the
riders of the wheel narrowly escaped in
jury. The owners of the tandem sued
the owner of the cart for damages. The
justice before whom the case was brought
discharged the defendant on the ground
that the bicycle was being unlawfuuy
used and the law extends no protection TO
law breakers. II appears that under the
New Jersey law it is unlawful to ride
on Sunday, no matter what the vehicle
or conveyance may be, unless the rider is
going TO or from church or to call a physi-
clan.

President Cleveland and Secretary Oluey
Sanguilly would have been saved much
suffering; but some of his fool friends be-
came too impatient and hot-headed, with
the result that their impetuosity came
near costing the imprisoned man his life
The pamphlet published by Sanguilly's
friend aud attorney, Rodriguez, embodies
merited tribute to the sagacity and
faithfulness of Mr.. Cleveland. AS time
passes by and animosities die out, Mr.
Cleveland's whole official life will stand
out as a bright page in American his

In some of the Pacific coast cities the
stock brokers are preparing for a big
business in Klondike shares. In Tacoma
and Seattle it is believed that there will
be a big boom in such shares this winter,
and that "Klondlkes" will be as popular
in this country as "Kaffirs" were in Eng
land in the hey-day of Barnato's success.
Speaking of Barnato, by the way, it trans
preA that he was not so rich a man as he
was popularity credited with being Many
stories were printed to the effect that he
did not know his own wealth." and that
he was worth a hundred million dollars
or more. When his executors the other
day came to calculate the value of the es-
tate left by him, it was discovered that he
was possessed of about 5000, 900 at the time
of his death. 1t is a very easy matter to
over estimate ones riches, especially aft
er the million dollar mark has been pass
ed; and the public usually shoot high when
aiming at what a millionaire is worth.
