Eneirc1ea br a AL,re wire..

Il witnessed a really astonishing exhi-
bition of GOODNESS and presence of mind
this afternoon" said New Orleans in
surance man few days ago. according to
the Times democrat Some workmen
were removing an overhead wire on Up
per Prytania street, when one end of it
broke loose and dropped down to the pave
ment. 1t doubled into a sort of loop as II
fell, and, by singular chance, it COM
pletely encircled a young man who was
passing, without, however, touching him
anywhere.
Some people were standing in a near
by doorway, and Immediately yelled Live
wirel' Nine men out of ten would have
lost their heads entirely under such cir
cunstanees, but this young chap was as
calm as a summer morning. The wire was
wriggling all around him like an immense
snake, and threatened every moment to
strike him on the legs, but he made no eff
fort to jump. On the contrary, he stood
perfectly still putting away at cigar he
had been smoking as he came along, and
presently, when he saw an opportunity, he
sauntered quietly out of the open end of
the loop, as unconcerned, to all appear
ances, as man walking out of drawing
room.
Il was on the opposite side of the street
at the time the thing occurred and 1 must
confess ii made my hair bristle on my
head. l ran across and couldn't help re-
marking to the young man that l admired
his pluck. He laughed oh, that's all
on the surface! he said. I'm dripping with
sweat, and am really scared half to
death l would like to round off this
story by saying that the wire was carry
ing enough current to kill an elephant
but the truth is that it was not connected
at the time, and was as harmless as
piece of clothes line. Stin, that was some
thing nobody knew for half an hour, and
insist that it has no bearing on the real
merits of the case"

A DISAPPOINTED COMMITTEEMAN.

very disappointed man is Mr.. Payne,
member of the Republican National Com
mittee from Wisconsin. Mr.. Payne had
been telling his friends, and, in fact, the
whole country, that he intended to inau-
gurate very great reform in the basis
of representation in the approaching Re
publican National Convention. The de-
tails of his plan have been presented to
the public through the newspapers. He
thinks that Republicans of the South have
too much influence in the National Conven-
ton for the number of votes they cast for
the Republican ticket. He therefore pro-
posed that the basis of representation
should be the number of Republican votes
cast in each state at the last presidential
election. If his proposition had been
adopted, there would have been very few
delegates from the Southern states in the
Republican National Convention next year.
1t seems that his proposition was re-
garded with favor by majority of the
members of the committee. 1t is prob
able that the great majority of the Re
publican leaders would like to get rid of
some of the negro delegates Many of these
negro delegates have no particular choice
for President. They are for the candidate
that promises them the most spoils of Of
flee or proffers the greatest amount of
other inducements. OF course all of the
colored delegates are not purchasable,
but so many of them are that they make
the leaders of Republican National Con-
ventions very tired.
Senator Hanna and the President were
against Mr.. Payne's resolution, however,
and because of their opposition he did not
present it. 1t was said by Senator Hanna
that If the resolution were adopted, and
delegates were elected in accordance with
it, the negro vote of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois would be cast for the Democratic
ticket. The mere suggestion that the ne
groes in the Western states where they
are of some Importance from political
standpoint, was enough to set the Presi-
dent against the Payne resolution. If 1t
had been said that it would have caused
the negroes of the South to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket the President would not
have had any objection to It, in all proba-
bility. He and Senator Hanna are good
to the colored voters whenever the colored
vote is wanted.

RAILROAD RATES.

According to our dispatches yesterday
many of the railroads have given notice
of their intention to raise their rates
Their reason for higher rates is that there
has been a very great increase in their
operating expenses. and therefore they
must have more money. II was 70
be expected of course that they would
raise rates. The cost of everything they
buy mas worcestershire cost of many Of
their supplies being fully so per cent
greater than it was year ago.
There will of course be great opposition
to an increase in rates, and railroad com
missions will have a difficult task to de-
eide just how great the increase should
be. and on what freights the increase
should be allowed In this state the Rail
road Commission, when it considered the
request some months ago for lower rates
on cotton, did not think the time was
close at hand when 1t would be called on
to permit general raise in rates.
In considering Inc question of raising
rates the commission ought to investigate
carefully the rise in the prices of all sorts
of railway supplies. In that way it will
clusion as to what raise in the rates should
be permitted. There win not be any dis
position to permit a raise in the rates
greater than would be sufficient to cover
the increase cost of railway supplies.
1t is doubtful If the railroads have made
much more money since the better times
began than they did before. Their gross
earnings have of course been very much
greater, but their expenses have increased
largely. Here in the South it is questiona-
Bile If the railways are prospecting as much
as those in the East and West. The short
cotton crop has cut down the earnings of
the roads in the cotton territory. The in
comes of some of them are not as large
as they were year ago, notwithstanding
the fact that there is increased activity in
business 1t may be that the roads will
feel very soon the better price which cot
con is bringing. 1t is certain that they
have not yet felt it in such degree as
to make them sure that the volume of
their business is having healthy growth.

Drummer for the Penitentiary.

Judge Clark of the North Carolina Su-
preme Court had to open court at Oxford
one winter, says an exchange When he
got TO Henderson he found deep snow on
the ground, and the railroad from that
place TO oxford in those days did not
run in such weather. So the Judge set
out in a buggy, with a driver whose Gus
toners had heretofore been commercial
tourists. He took the judge for a drum
mer, and tried to beguile the tedium by
talking over the hardware line. Not find
ing him exactly we'll posted on that, he
took up the drygoods business. Not doing
much better with that, he successfully
tried him on notions, groceries, liquors
and others. Having exhausted all the
lines" he could think of, he finally asked
You are drummer, are you not?" Yes"
said the judge, 4 am somewhat in that
line" Well what is your line?'' said
the driver. II am a drummer for the state
penitentiary." The driver, saying to him
self half aloud, You are the fist ore in
that line that ever cal me along here" drove
the rest of the way in silence. When the
conveyance drove up 10 the hotter in Ok
ford the landlord ran out to greet his
guest When the driver heard his passen-
ger called Judge" the point dawned on
him, and he dashed round the house, scat
tering cloud of snow with his wheels.

Russell: 1t was curious how many per-
sons disliked Thackeray, a man who, 10
my thinking. endears himself to you on
some part of every page he wrote. One
night / was i'm the Adelphi theater, and
went behind to see an old friend of mine
in the company. He presently said to me-
Did you see who was in the house?" 1
said. do you mean Thackeray?" lie said
Yes DO you know that when he comes
he puts all of us out and we feel we can't
do anything. Now" he continued, with
Dickens II is exactly the reverse. We see
him come in and he puts US an in a good
cue instantly
Buckle attributes the great success Of
Scottish men Of science, etc, TO their pref
erence for priori or deductive argument

Four Dollars Forced Upon Him.

There is a young man in Chicago who
now has a good business and bright pros
poets, who received his start in life by Sc
curing 81 that did not belong to him." said
local hotel physician. according to the
Chicago News. II hardly know under
what to class the incident of obtaining the
money. l will let the story explain his
actions.
This young man arrived in Chicago one
nerve and push. He wanted money to Sc
cure a meal and pay his room rent until
he could secure a position. Believing he
could find some man who would help him
if he told his story in straightforward
manner, he entered a cigar establishment
I'm Dearborn street. He was about to ex-
plain his condition and ask for assistance
until he could get a position, when the
proprietor looked up with fierce scowl.
He turned to his partner and they held
consultation in a whisper for few mo-
ments.
Now, take this 81 and don't bother me
about that bill again. That's all you will
get, and now you can get cut of this place
in a hurry exclaimed the storekeeper. The
young man was pushed toward the door
with the money in his hand, and, try as
he would, the storekeeper would not let
him talk. Once in the street the bewiI-
dered fellow considered the matter in
every detail and decided to keep the
money. This he did, and a month or so
later he again walked into the cigar store
and told his story and returned the
money"

A Bit of Policy.

One of Detroits old and staid citizens
is man who once tried his fortunes in
The far West and among other adventures,
ran for Congress, says the Free Press. In
the most populous county of the district
there were a lot of sturdy farmers who
dressed as cheapiy as was consistent with
protecting their bodies, and who thought
that "store clothes" were the mark of
putocrat.
My opponent" shouted the other fellow
while addressing these yeomen, lis dude.
He comes from the aristocraLic city of De-
troll. lie wears a silk hat, a frock coat,
collar and silk ribbon around his
neck" The doughty voters groaned and
Kissed.
The Detroiter heard and went prepared.
He was dressed as pictured, but looked
like a seedy relic of the last century.
Gentlemen" he said with a look of
virtuous indignation, Il have been repre-
sented to you as a dandy and pluto
crat. Look at me. This bell-shaped tile was
remainder of its luster and is absolutely
bald on top. My great-grandfather bought
it after he helped win the battle of Bun
ker Hill This is a frock coat, but ii was
made before the sewing machine was in
vented; it is linked at the elbows, the collar
is four inches broad and my great grand
father was married in it. My pants were
my fathers and these shoes cost me sixty
five cents. Why do L masquerade in these
ancient garments? Gentlemen, I have no
false pride. l pay my debts, and should
lose this return ticket I'd have to walk
home'
The Detroiter was not elected, but the
vote he had in that rural county surprised
the state.
