One station Agent RevoIted.

A dust-covered report that was unearth-
ed the other day in the office of the pur-
chasing agent of the Northern Pacific
Railroad recalled an incident of the Viii
lard regime that was funny, says the st.
Paul Globe. When Henry Willard came
West he had in his train a man who got
to be known as "the tailor" Why he was
so called is a secret belonging to the
past. Willard left him here He did lit
tie of everything and what he said went"
with most of the officers, because he was
strong with the man at the top. 1t occur
red to the tailor" one day that what
the Northern Pacific lacked more than
anything else was, uniformed station
agents. The one thing that was needed to
make the road a real good thing was a
lovely suit on every tank tender in every
pump station. He proceeded TO execute
his project and put them in uniform He
had queer IDEAS about discipline, probably
acquired on the government controlled
railroads of Germany, and he asked no
questions He acted. He made a contract
for the uniforms, and told the tailor to
send him a couple of men to do the meas
uring and he would have the size, hight
weight and built of every station agent
on the road in four days The men were
supplied him, and he went to the general
superintendent Office and had this tele-
gram sent:
ITO All Agents: Be on the platform in
shirt sleeves and trousers when No. ar
rives.
He vouchsafed no information, but got
on the train with his tailors and took the
measurement of the men while the train
stopped. 1t was rapid work, but emf
nently successful until they arrived at a
little station up in Dakota Then it came
to finish. The tailor and his men
got off the train at this station. and he
asked a lounger: Where is The agent?''
Here she comes.'' answered the fellow
She" was coming. She had an AK and
the tailor understood that there was
something wrong, and he had better move
He got on the car as quickly as he could

The indications are that Georgia's peach
crop will be very large one. Mr.. ]. H.
Hale, one of the largest growers of the
Fort Valley district, thinks that it will
amount TO 1900 car loads. In the Fort
Valley district there are about 675. 600 peach
trees in bearing and in the Marshallvillc
district about 100000. There are many
other localities in the stale where the
peach is grown for market, but the Fort
Valley and Marshallville orchards are th~
leading ones.
The principal peach grown is the Ell,
berta, which ripens early. 1t is large.
beautiful and luscious peach and finds a
ready sale in all the markets of the coun-
try. 1t is on the market before the early
peaches of the Eastern states and, hence,
a good price is obtained for it,
Georgia is rapidly becoming a great fruit
state. Within two or three years she Will
be able 10 supply the world with peaches.
piums, berries and pears. The area tina,
is well adapted to peach growing is very
large, and it is being rapidly planted in
peaches and other fruits.
Inc harvesting of the peach crop win
begin next month and the peach growing
sections will present lively and attractive
scenes until the peach season ends. The
canning of peaches is carried on rigat
along with the shipping of the fruit to
market, and therefore many people are
employed by each owner of a large or
chard. The season is short, of course. but
the workers in the orchards travel long
way in order to get a chance to take adj
vantage of the opportunity which the
peach season offers to make a few dol
lars.
Mr.. Hale is very successful peach
grower, If fair prices are obtained for
the fruit this year his orchards will net
MIN fortune. A peach tree does not las,
many years and the failure of a crop $
not unusual. SIN, the profits are so sreat
in good year that there is big money in
peach growing.

America! dear bro herland!
While yet the shotted guns are mute
Accept a brotherIy salute,
\ hearty grip of England's hand.
Tomorrow, when the sulphurous glow
OF war shall DIN the stars above,
Be sure the star of Eugland's love
Is over you, come veal, come woe
Go forth in hope! Go forth in might!
To all your nobler self be true,
That coming times may see in you
The vanguard of the hosts of light
Though wrathful Justice load and train
Your guns, be every breach they make
A gateway pierced for Mercys sake,
That Peace may enter in and reign.
Then, should the hosts of darkness band
Against you lowering thunderously.
Flash the word Brother DER the sea
And England at your side shall stand
Exulting! For though dark the night
And sinister with scud and rack.
The hour that brings us back to back.
But harbngers the larger light.

No Need TO snx More.

A prolix lawyer was recently arguing
a case in San Francisco, before Judge
Coffey, who dislikes prolixity. When he
reached about the middle of his address
the lawyer interjected the rhetorical
question:
Need I say more?"
Judge Coffey had been impatiently wait
ing for an opening, and perceived his op-
portunity answered quickly, but with the
blandest courtesy:
mo, brother, you need say nothing
more"
Before the lawyer realized the remark,
of the court, and while he was about TO
resume his Grafton. standing with vpen
mouth and outsretched hand, Judge COT
fey decided against him, dismissed the
proceeding and called the next case on
his docket.

Hanna and Henry Demas.
From the New orleans States CDem.

Henry Demas. the notorious negro poll
tician OF Louisiana, has been turned down
by the Senate on his appointment as naval
officer of this port, but nevertheless he
has through Mark Hanna, a strong pull
with the administration, and at the pres
ent time is acting as a labor agent of the
government He has been instrumental in
sending to Fort Jackson several gangs of
worthless negroes, and, according to the
reports which have reached us, the incom-
potency of these laborers has resulted
in delaying the completion of the FORTH
cations which are to serve as a protection
to this city.

The War and the Canal.
From the Boston Globe DENY.

A naval war was required, however. to
show US how far apart we still are in
the absence of canal. But for this the
Oregon would have reached our fleet at
ter journey of only $500 miles and fun
two weeks before the opening of hostili-
ties. 1t may be that the lesson will be
lost in the complacent reflection that airs
well that ends wen. and that we shall
wait to be taught it again when perchance
we are confronted with a nation less
obliging than Spain.

War Revives Canal Talk.

The war will greatly strengthen the hands
guarantee bonds for the building of the
Nicaraguan canal. The long journey the
battleship oregon has had TO make to
reach Key West from San Francisco is
cited as evidence of the imperative need
of the canal. If there were a canal
across Nicaragua the Oregon would have
saved 10000 miles in making her Journey
The need for a canal connecting the At
lantic and Pacific oceans has long been
recognized Congress would have guar
anteed long ago the bonds for the Mica
raguan canal, in all probability, notwth-
standing the fact of the belief that there
is a steal in the canal business some
where, if there were satisfactory evidence
that the canal is practicable. 1t is true
that commissions have reported that the
canal can be built-that is, that it is pos
sible to construct canal across Nicara-
qua which would accommodate the largest
ships, but there are good engineers who
have doubts of the correctness of these
reports Besides, there is a great differ
ence of opinion among engineers as to the
cost of the canal.
Before the building of the canal should
be undertaken ii should be determined be-
yond doubt that the canal is practicable,
and there should be some satisfactory es-
innate of its cost. When these two mat
ters are satisfactorily settled there will
noe be much delay in beginning the work.

One Of the most ridiculous fakes thai
has found its way into the newspapers
lately was published a few days ago, and
was to the effect that the Governor Of
North Carolina had written to the Secre>
tary of War TO the effect that the death
of Ensign Bagley had so frightened the
men of his state that it would not be
possible to fill the states quota of volun-
teers without resOrting to drafting. Time
and again the men of North Carolina
have demonstrated that they are as fear
less and patriotic as any in the world and
there is not a shadow of a doubt but that
they will do so again in the present in
stance. If the story were not so ridicu-
lous it would be a libel upon the Old
North State.

The enorts>f the Georgia Populists to
draw the Prohi3idonists into their camp
will probably prove futile. Prohibition
will not be an issue in the approaching
election. The people of this state are now
pretty well satisfied that the best plan TO
secure real prohibition is to retain the
local option law, and to work under it
against the barrooms. A great ma
jority of the counties of the state are
now dry under the local option law,
and steady gains are being made along
that line. BY persistent and conscientious
efforts, the chances are that every county
except those in which the large cities are
situated will be made dry in the course
of few years; and then the prohibi-
ton Will be real and not a farce, as
would be the case if an attempt We're
made to force prohibition before public
sentiment was ready for it.

Yankees" would make good fertilizer for
Cuban fields, and invites Uncle Sam to
