How n Texas Young Woman Left the
Fever-Infected South.
Shotgun quarantine did not prove a
barrier to one Texas young woman who
wanted to get to her home in the Lone
Star state from the fever district. This
young woman had been visiting the
Nashville exposition in company with
gentleman friend and a chaperon. On
their return home the train was stopped
before it reached the Texas state line,
and all the passengers who had come
from where yellow jack was raging were
compelled to go back. Among these
was the heroine of this story and her
companions. The little party repaired
to the hotel and spent the day in dis
cussing what to do. They had about
made up their minds to return to Nash
vile, but in the course of the discussion
the gentleman bantered his fair lady
love about her bravery. Whether the
young woman had proposed to fight her
way through the guarantees to reach
Texas in balloon does not appear, but
at any rate she was leased by the man
upon some wild proposition made, and
the result was that a bet of 500 was
placed that she could not get through
the quarantine lines. The young wom-
an covered the money, and forthwith
placed roll of bills in her pocket and
disappeared from the hotel.

OUR ISLAND POSSESSIONS.
The People are Little Aware of Their
Number and Extent.

indianapolis Journal
Discussions regarding the annexation of
Hawaii has started an inquiry as to how
many islands the United States already
owns 1t is probable the question could
only be answered definitely by the United
States coast survey office at Washington,
and the complete information may not ex-
list even there. The length of the coast
line of the United States, according to the
coast survey, is Sis miles, embracing 2349
miles on the Atlantic 1856 on the Gulf of
Mexico and 1910 on the Pacific. This is
the length of our coast line, without in
Guiding lndentations of the land, which
would increase it considerably.
1t is obvious that so long a coast line
must embrace large number Of islands
within the legal and jurisdictional control
of the United States. A partial list names
$50, but this omits many islands In the
Great Lakes and many more in Alaskan
waters. These include the Alexander Is
lands, the Kadiak, the Aleutian, the Pri-
bylof and others. They dot the ocean for
great distance in all directions, the island
of Attou, the farthest of the Aleutian
group, being as far west of Seattle as Port
land, Me-, is east of Seattle. Probably no
exact enumeration of these islands and
sets has been made, but Mr.. Bush, in an
article in the current number of the Gre
view of Reviews, says: "There are eleven
thousand islands along the coast included
in this Alaskan area, and with the numer-
GUS inlets they give a coast line eleven
thousand miles longer than the coast line
Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf-of the United
States, or greater than the circumference
of the earth" Many of these are very
small. Of the entire area Of Alaska, 570,
600 square miles, 81 200 square miles are
islands. This is nearly the area of Indi
ana. OF tie groups above named the
Aleutian Islands lie in both hemispheres
and extend from longitude 1853 degrees to
ISIS degrees west.
Accepting the above estimate of eleven
thousand for all the Alaskan islands as APP
proximately correct, the total number
owned by the United States must be at
least II 800. Besides these we exercise
sort of iurisdictional control over little
island in the West Indi es-Navassa. There
are other islands in that quarter which
seem to be gravitating strongly toward the
United States which are far more desira-
ble-Cuba; for instance.

An Amazing Proposition.

Richmond Times.
We are amazed to see that there is a
proposition before the constitutional con-
vention of Louisiana to incorporate a
clause into the State constitution virtually
expunging Sunday from any consideration
or protection or recognition in the laws of
Louisiana.
We do not believe that this proposition
will be adopted, but that it is receiving
serious consideration is evidenced by the
fact that it is made the basis of lead
ing editorial in the New Orleans Plea
yune.
There is no telling what constitutional
convention may do. 1t is an autocratic
body and is responsible to no man. The
recognition by law of one day in seven as
day specially set apart for rest and relig-
ious meditation is the greatest, perhaps, of
all Christian agencies, and to expunge
such recognition from the constitution Of
2 State were 10 deal the church a most
serious blow.
But the constitutional reformers of
Louisiana may do this thing, if they see
proper and the people may not say them
nay.

In Havana Harbor.

Not sound was heard inihe tropic night,
Not cry, not word ofwarning;
Around the sea spread calm and bright
And above the clear stars burning.
Perfumed of the palm and of blossoms fair
The breeze off shore came sweeping,
While the Maine swung free at her moor
irgs there
And her. gallant crew aysIeeping.
All! sweet is the hour when in sleep are
wove
The visions that fondly bind us
To the dear old home and the land we love,
And the friends we left behind us.
All! true is the heart in a Sailors breast,
Ger the wild seas boldly faring,
"The bravest are ever the tenderest,
And the loving are the daring
But now through the still and restful gloom
Bursts forth that awful lightning;
With the portents dire of the day of doom,
Earth, sky and ocean Frightening;
And the shuddering air recois as when
A mountain flames in thunder,
And the stately ship and its valiant men
Are plunged the deep waves under.
Theirs not to hear the charging cheer
As the foe rolled back before them,
Theirs not to welcome victory near
With Old Glory streaming DER them;
But never the praise of the sage and brave,
Or the tribute of mourning beauty,
Can better this legend above their grave
They died at the post of duty.
Half-mast the colors. Columbia's eyes
Grow wet with a tender glory,
And opening the pages that heroes prize
The book of her deathless story;
$50, here shall these names, gold-lettered
stand,
A record of plain devotion,
In line with the crew of the Cumberland
And the men of the Constitution.

ALL THINGS REAuTIFuL.

HE hath made everything beautiful IN
His time" -Eccles. 3:1l
In flig7ee the sunbeam weaves
A golden setting for the leaves.
And interlaces opal mist
With pearls of dew and amethyst;
A splash of azure, tints of green,
With glittering rays and flashing sheeni
Thus, all around, above, below,
The works of God in beauty glowl
When winter comes with hoarse refrain,
Smell frost and snow on hill and plain;
Each flake unfolds jeweled wing,
A pinion drops Ger everything;
Reclining like saint at rest,
A robe of white upon her breast;
Earth feels the chill, but in the snow,
In emblem pure, Gods works we knowl
The oceans waves roll on sublime
From topmost crest to deepest mine,
When pearls, and stars, and living gem,
Adorn its mighty diadem;
With coral groves and temples grand,
The work of an Almighty hand;
Vast cities, where no foot has trod,
Their architect and builder God!
Devoutly seen, the soul can trace
In natures round the gifts Of grace;
In breded light and mingled dyes,
In fowery meads and starry skies,
Where matchless skill and beauties shine
To prove their Maker all divinel
o Lord, illume our eyes to see
That all this glory comes from Theel

railroad office at Algiers and asked for
n job as brakeman on the Southern Pa
cific road.
The railroad people bluffed him off,
and after awhile he wandered out into
the yards and came up with. the strag-
Cling railroad boys loafng about the
corner The would-be brakeman soon
formed the acquaintance of the crew
who were running, and the evening was
spent in company With the boys about
the barrooms. The result of his good
nature and his conviviality among them
was that one of the brakeman finally
consented that he should go out on his
train next morning if he would show up
little before time of leaving. This the
new hand did, leaving early next morn
ing on a local train which stopped at La
fayette. This was as far as the train
crew went. There the two parted, and
those that tell the story say that the
fair-faced railroader hung around La
fayette day or two and finally made
friends with some brakemen who ran
into Texas and made his way as far as
Houston, from where he evidently
reached home.
The gentleman and chaperon. who
we've to remain in New Orleans to
await information of the plucky young
woman, after about ten days, returned
to Nashville, from where they made
their way to st. Louis and thence into
Texas, back to their home. 1t appears,
however, that the young woman reached
home first, and at once telegraphed to
New Orleans her safe arrival, for the
brakeman was no other than the plucky
young woman.
The story of the adventurous young
woman was made known when the
brakeman with whom she had travelled
out of New Orleans received sweet
scented little note, written in female
hand, thanking him for the kindness he
had shown your brakeman friend" as
she signed it.
Now the railroad boys in Algers are
telling stories Of how she set up drinks
and made herself popular with the
crowd. 1t is said that she would walk
into barroom and order drinks for all
hands around; that she never drank her
self, however, but always took cigar.
She wore a broad black hat md her
face and neck were red, evidently
painted that color especially for the
purpose of hiding her fair features

A Democrat on Kentucky's Force Bill.
Louisville "CourierJournal" Dem.)

~ DeHlUCIdl VII heHluCkJ TUlCc Dill
Louisville "CourierJournal" Dem.)
The Goebel election bill is a simple
machine for turning over all elections in
Kentucky to centralized depotism at
Frankfort, consisting of three commission
ers, to be elected by this Legislature, and
having absolute power to determine who
shall hold office and who shall not during
their four years term of incumbency.
This is not only usurpation Of power, it is
revolution in its broadest sense. 1t is not
merely Force bill, it is radical despot-
ism. 1t DISTINGUISHES every voter in the
State whom the triumvirate at Frankfort,
or their satraps in the counties, see fit, or
find it needful, to disfranchise. At one
fell swoop it abolishes free elections in
Kentucky. If any man doubts this, there
is the bill before his eyes. If be dispute
it, he proclaims himself equally conspir-
ator and falsifer. Nothing worse than
this-more shameless, bare-faced and ab-
solute-has ever been suggested in all the
annals of reconstruction, radicalism or
msrule, in any age or any country. If
the people of Kentucky submit to it, then
they are race of slaves, and will merit all
the woes and ruin it brings them, includ-
ing the heralding of their name as slaves,
and the proud name of the old Common
wealth as by-word to the ends Of the
EARTH

THE OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS.
Alb Unprecedented Volume Of Bust
ness Predicted.
VERY FEW DECREASES IN PRICES.
Sugar the Most lmportant-CereaI Pro-
ducts Higher-AIso Some Varieties
of Provisions, Iron and Cotton
Spring Trade Good.

Bradstreet's Trade Review of last week
said:
Nearly all signs point to an unprece-
dented volume of business being done or
arranging for at the present time. The
aggressiveness of prices, record breaking
bank clearings, and continued large ex-
ports, particularly lower priced cereals,
very heavy volume of business in iron and
steel, and kindred lines and generally sat
isfactory reports as to the volume Of trade
at leading dstrbutive centres are among
the visible features of trade development.
Nearly all of the country's cereal pro-
ducts are higher in prices this week, as
also some varieties Of provisions, Bessemer
pig iron, copper, raw cotton and tin.
The further advance in pig iron this
week would seem to indicate that the i'm
mense current production is as yet without
visible effect on values. The price Of cop
per showed an advance of near one cent
per pound during February, while che
consumptive demand and statistical posi-
ton are such as to lead to confidence at
least in the maintenance of present prices,
if not of a further advance.
