PERSONAL.

Pedro Perea of Bernalillio, newly elect
ed congressional delegate from New Next
co. is of ancient and pure Spanish lineage,
being able to trace his family back to
the time, $50 years ago, when his fore
fathers first set foot on the soil of the new
world. He is a Republican and of course
rich.
I'm the course of his speech at the Miles
banquet in New York Gov Wolcott of
Massachusetts, recalled the fact that the
general was born at Westminster, Mass,
and had reversed the order which prevails
in Great Britain, where an honored ca
reer sometimes finds its close In West

Ralph Disraeh, who died the other day,
had been frequently referred to as Lord
Beaconsfield's only brother AS a matter
of fact, however, the statesman had an
other brother, James Dsraeli who lived
for many years the life Of almost a her

where he died two days before Christmas

Some folks always stamp their letters
upside down for luck" said a postoffice
inspector in a reminiscent mood. accord
ing to the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
land others put the stamp on the back,
which makes the cancellation clerk forget
his religion. 1 remember We caught a
fellow once through the peculiar way he
stamped a ANter. He was wanted for
frivoling with the Jaws of Uncle Sam, but
had skipped out ard couldn't be located.
In looking over some of his correspond
ence had noticed that he always put the
stamp crosswise; so as to leave small
triangle of the envelope at the upper
right-hand corner Why he did 1t don't
know, but the stamp was always in that
one particular spot, and gummed down
with mathems tical accuracy One day l
was in a certain Georgia town, and while
loating near the cancellation table at the
postoffice noticed several letters stamped
as l have described. just on chance I
took memoranda of the address and post
mark, which was Chattanooga, and hap
pening 60 be in that place on the follow
ing week collared my man as he was in
quiring for his mail. The letters I noticed
turned out to have been addressed to his
wife. When ! told him how 1 got my
pointer he was mad as blazes, and l guess
he stamps his letters straight now-if he
is out yet"

A BAD BREAK.

Some one of the editors or agents of the
Associated Press in Atlanta, or Washing
ton, or New York, who handle the dis
patches from the South, must have eaten
so much Thanksgiving dinner that he lost
his grip on his mental faculties. A very
which the ladies of Savannah provided for
the soldiers of the Seventh Corps on
Thanksgiving day was sent to the Asso-
ciated Press at Washington. 1t appeared
all right in the South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Georgia
papers. but in the papers of all the other
states, as far as we have seen, wholly
different item was published. This latter
item made it appear that the dinner was
provided by the ladies of Charleston. The
ladies of that city are noted for their hos
pitality, and there is no doubt that If the
Seventh Corps had been encamped there
on Thanksgiving day they would have
done all they could TO make the day an
enjoyable one for the soldiers The Sew
enth Corps, however, was at Savannah
on Thanksgiving day, and the Sa-
vannah ladies made the Thanksgiving
of the soldiers a memorable one. The
mistake would not be publicly noticed,
except that the Savannah people would
not like the home folks of the soldiers
to think that the Seventh Corps is en-
camped near an inhosptable city.

MUNICIPAL ExrRAvAGANcr.

Gen. Tracy. an eminent citizen Of
Greater New York, claims that with So
100000 he could give that city an entirely
satisfactory government. The budget calls
for $96,Ooo,00O and it makes no provision for
school houses, which are greatly needed.
We have no doubt that he could do what
he says he could. The government Of
about all OF the cities and towns of the
country are conducted in the most extra
VACANT manner. 1t is difficult TO get gen
uine business men to assist in administer
ing municipal affairs. And even when
business men are put in control of cities
il is seldom that they display their busi-

lie. They are more than apt 70 use their

WOMAN's GOOD FRIEND, THE
HEADACHE.

A writer in the Baltimore Sun panegy
rzes the headache as woman's good and
constant friend; the palliation, the ex-
PLANTATION the moral poultice to many
social wound" What would we do with
out it?" asks the SUMS writer, a woman.
And, really, when one comes to look at
it from the standpoint of utility, it Is
not difficult to see that the headache is a
faithful and hard-worked friend, whose
good Offices could not readily be dispensed
with. and whose place could not easily be
filed
1t is possible under certain circumstances
to go behind the election returns, or to
question the conclusions of court OF
Justice, but there is no going behind or
nouncement is final; 1t shuts off debate;
it moves the previous question and in
stantly indefinitely postpones the consider
alton of It. 1t is the impenetrable stone
wall behind which the sex may secure
rest and privacy. 1t lis the ready-made
defender against bores and book agents,
and stuffy functions, and tiresome friends.
Does the woman wish an excuse for not
offending the session of the church sew
ing circle the other night? Why, it was
the headache which kept her at home
Does she wish to go off alone with the
newest novel to revel in the utter lowell
ness and constancy of the heroine, the
pulchritude and manliness of the hero and
the unspeakable villainy of the villain?
The headache will secure the desired iso-
lation. Does she wish that Percy Bignose
who talks of himself always and never
knows when to go home. were at the bot
tom of the sea. instead of in the parlSr
waiting for her? The headache pea will
dispose of Percy.
| And then It occurs in the lifetime of
every woman who lives long enough that
! crowsfeet begin to come in the corners
of the eyes. Close feminine friends are
1 the first to remark the fact. Here is where
the headache by way of explanation comes
in very, very handily. Sometimes per-
| sons are cross. and say things which
wound heir friends, ana which they speed

people irritable; and no well-balanced per

send the new hat home in time TO be worn
to church, the parson or his wife asks
the next day, What was the natter
"Oh, just one of my miserable headaches"
And then in place of reproach one gets
sweet sympathy, and lot of advice.
Suppose the headache were eliminated
as many women have wished it were,
what could be made 20 take its place as
a buffer between womankind and those
daily incidents which she would avoid?
One could not excuse herself with the
statement, Il nave a pain" It would
never do to plead toothache, since that
would imply faulty teeth. Appendicitis is
rather arstocratic. but that could not DO,
adopted for general use. "A bad cold
is altogether too common. Consumption
Is not to be thought of; neither is yellow
fever, nor the jaundice, nor scarlet fever.
In short the whole catalogue may be run
through, and at the end il will be found

DROP EACTInNAIIsNf


Not a great while ago there was consid-
cradle kicking in what was then the min
GRITTY in local politics (he Liberal Club,
when the majority 0he Citizens Club
turned things bottom-side up at Atlanta
The secret junta of the latter, five mem
bers strong, met in a certain law office
and decided what laws should be passed
and what repealed in order to keep the
faction in power; and that action was
roundly and properly denounced by all
fair-minded persons. The junta, however,
cared nothing about such denunciations,
and went on about its business of fixing
its faction in Office. With the aid OF "sen-
atorial courtesy" it succeeded in getting
all of its proposed legislation through.
1t must be said that some Of the things
that were done by the then dominent fac
ton were pretty nearly right. In this
category may be named the passage of the
new city election law. 1t is a little cum
bersome, but in the main IL is a good law.
With some alterations it would serve ad-
mirably for securing fair elections More
time is needed between the closing of the
DCCAAG
election. Then, too. there are some good
points about the city commissions laws,
especially that one creating a commission
to look after the city's parks and trees
With alterations, possibly all of the COM
mission laws could be made acceptable to
the people. We do not think that it was
the wish of the people, when the present
1,o.s -
that there should be radical changes In
the commission laws, and that all local
legislation secured under the regime of the
Citizens Club should be repealed; yet to
wipe out all that the Citizens Club did
seems TO be the policy of the Liberal Club
junta.
A bill was introduced into the legisla-
ture yesterday to repeal the law under
which this city now holds its elections.
That means going back to the old ballot
box stuffing system which was in vogue
up to few years ago, under which every
body was required to vote at the court
house. The people of this city do not wish
to take a step backward, as this would
certainly be. They have no desire to re-
didate could be counted in or counted out
just as a few politicians might please.
If the gentlemen who represent this
county in the legislature look to the best
interests of their fellow citizens. they will
put aside all factional prejudice and re-
tain what Is good in the laws enacted
through the influence of the former dele
cation, rejecting only those features which
are not good. The commissions laws can
be purged of their Objectionable features.
and the city elections law can be made bet
ter with some few amendments; and that
is the sort of work that the people look
to their representative to do. fractional
fighting, for the advantage of politicians
or political cliques, is becoming very tire
some to the people of Savannah.

Nothing New for Her.

The somewhat elderly matron who was
travelling alone became weary of the mo-
notony and opened conversation with a
woman considerably younger, says the
Chicago Tribune.
How much further are you going?''
she asked.
About fifty miles" replied the other.
Land sakesi l wish / was as near the
end of my journel as that I've got 300
miles to go yet"
'Indeed?"
Yes. I've been visiting my Oldest
daughter. She's married and got child
rem of her own. Are you married."
20, yes"
You haven't been as long as have,
though. Week after next I'm going to
celebrate my silver wedding. You won t
do that for a long time yet, IN warrant. =
20, yes. I have already celebrated it. .
"What?''
Yes. Three of them
''Er-what? How long have you been
married?'
Three years.
"And you've had three silver wedding
anniversaries? I guess you don't under
stand
20, yes, do. It's you who don't under

bands name is Could
After which by common consent, they

Port Expenses.
From the Charleston News and Courier
(Dem.).

Some over cautious persons in Savannah
are trying to have "spark-arrester' ordi-
nance adopted which will operate against
the free movement Of business along the
wharves in that city. II is said that
other annoyances hive been invented which
will have a like effect. The Morning News
says:
What is wanted is that the port ex-
penses shall be kept down to the lowest
possible point consistent with safety. New
Orleans, Mobile, Norfolk, Charleston and
other Southern ports are continually TAX
ing steps 70 make port expenses less bur-
densome TO the craft which visit them for
cargoes, and Savannah cannot afford TO
proceed in any other than the same direc-
ton
'Spark-arresters" are very good in their
place. but they ought to be used with
some regard to the public interests. Az
unnecessary and restrictive charges upon
the commerce Of the ports should be re-
moved. and the ports that can do business
cheapest Will do the most business.

The Army Mule.

He's peaceful, accomplishing, and unxar-
like in his ways;
He has strong dislike for war and all its
grand arrays;
He's a placid. unassuming, and he boasts
no pedigree,
For through his veins there flows no blood
of royal ancestry;
His ears betray his lowly birth. but stiII
he's not fool;

He works just like clock except that he
is never fast;
He moves as If he felt quite sure each
step will be his last
He soldiers to a great extent but never

And all the tortures man inf1icts can never
make him run.
He's stoical a pupil of the very hardest
school:
The independent, iron-clad, unfinching
army mule.
Some privileges he asserts; he has right
to walk:
And mankind knows enough about his
privilege 10 balk:
He has right to kick. but seldom brings
II into play:
The thought of such exertlon fills his
heart with dire dismay.
He has a right to eat: in fact, this is his
golden rule:

sided army mule.
When we have laid aside our arms: when

Mime. AIboni Disconcerts P1otters.


In Famous Singers of To-day and Yes,
terday'' Henry C. Lahee relates some di-
verting anecdotes of many famous vo-
calists. Here is one: "Once upon a time,
when Nine. Alboni was at Trieste, she
was informed of the existence of a plot
to hiss her off the stage. Having ascer-
tanned the names of her detractors and
where they were to be found she donned
male attire, in which her short hair and
robust figure helped to complete her dis
guise, and went to the cafe at which the
conspirators met. Here she found them
in fun consultation, and, taking seat at
a table, she listened to their conversa-
ton for a time. After a while she ad-
dressed the leader, saying: hear that
you intend to play a trick upon some one.
I am very fond of a little practical joke
myself, and should be glad If you would
allow me to join you on this occasion
" With pleasure, was the reply; we
intend to-hiss an opera singer off the
stage this evening
" Indeed, and of what is she guilty?'
" oh, nothing except that, being an
Italian, she has sung in Munich and
Vienna to German audiences, and we
think she ought to receive some castiga-
ton for her unpatriotic conduct

of the air sung by Rosina, the noise will

" 1 shall be very glad to do So, replied
the singer, and put the whistle in her
pocket.
In the evening the house was packed
every seat was occupied, and the audi
ence warmly appreciated the opening num-
bers of the opera. In due course Nine.
Alboni appeared, and at the point al
which she was about to address her

signal.

Spain wasn't robbed Of her colonies,

her debt, in 1881. She has twice repudi-
ated and she is seeking a pretext for
third act of mere weakness and dishon-
