The Tortunes and Fates of Public lienDuring the Past Ten Years.

i;y oxeof the "ketikf.d.

Written for the National Ileviw.Every tlecade brings to the front

a new set of public men, ami re-

tires many of the older ones. Thereis no business in which a man's for-tune is so fickle as in politics. Theman who leads the multitude to-

day may be sent into oblivion by

Brownlow rose to a high positionon a popular tide that had notebbed before he died. Senter suc-ceeded to the executive chair, andafter a stormy canvass was re-ele-

ed by an overwhelming majority;defeating the more radical candidate, GeD. W. B. Stokes. Thoughliving, both of these men havepasseil into comparative obscurity,and are enjoying the retirement ofage. Jno. C. Brown enjoyed aseason of popularity, but thethings which helped to make himpopular then would make his partycurse him now. He funded thestate debt at par, and thought itright to pay it. He is gone frompolitics now, and practices his professions in St. Louis, making prob-ably five times as much per year asthe governor's salary in Tenncssse.James D l'orter succeeded Brown,and it is questionable whether an'governor in Tennessee ever heldthe esteem of the people morewidely. Twice elected by immensemajorities, he disagreed with hisparty during his second term, andthe sentiment of repudiation retiredhim; not, however until he hadbrought still another man intoprominence, destined to becomeknown throughout the nation. Irefer to Judge D. M. Key, whomPorter appointed to the UnitedStates senate. Key was talked ofand written about all over the land,and his brief senatorial career madehim Hayes' postmaster-general- .

He took a federal judgeship, andis comparatively forgetten beyondthe borders of the state. Prior to1878, Judge Marks was scarcelyknown beyond the chancery di-

vision of which he was a capablejudge. The .low-ta- tide wasspreading rapidly over the state,and he jumped on it. It made himgovernor. His brilliant canvassmade him known and admired. Heserved one term, and his adminis-tration was offensive to state creditmen. His retirement was enforcedand he is not anyloDger potential.Governor Hawkins canvassed thestate in 1880, representing honestand wise government policies. Illselection gave him a very peculiarprominence, which he richly en-

joyed for two years. But his de-feat for re election has placed him,for the present, out of the publicnotice.

Horace Maynard too has gone.For many long years he was a pow-erful factor in Tennessee, and alsoin the nation. Almost a quartercentury in congress, once minis-ter, and then in the cabinet, madehim one of the best known charac-ters who ever lived in Tennessee.But he is uo more forever. Fiveyears ago Senator Jackson vas aquiet lawyer in a quiet town, unknown to the outside world, butloved and admired at home. Elected

member of the legislature, therecame a conflict, sharp and bitter,for the United States senators hip.and he happened to be present atthe critical moment. Worthy inevery way of the honor, it fell uponhim. I wo years later he canvassedthe state lor a principle whichcould only find 4,500 supporters inhis party. lo day he is probablythe most powerful man in the statewith the federal administration.Porter, too, has risen by sheer per-sonal worth to prominence again;and from the political obscurity oftwo 3ears ago he has mounted toone of the highest positions in thenation.

Who ever thiaks now of ex-Se- n

tor Jas. E. Baily as a living quan-tity? He is retired. Alas! thatan honest, courageous man like heis should be forced from a publicplace! Four years ago he was anissue; to-da- y he is the subject nlyof memory. He ought to be proudof his retirement.

Poor old Savage! You can'tkill him you can't hurt himyou can't get rid him. Like thepoor, he is always with us. Savageis not treated justly, lie is a gen-erous, frank, courageous man inhis line. He has laid the foundationfor many men to rise to prominenceon since the war. If he were anyone else than John H. Savase, Iwould say he is shelved. But youcan't ever tell when he will "bob apserenely from below." At any rate,he is temporarily retired. Scarcelyless long-live- d and tenacious isCol. Colyar. He is a very differentman from Savage, but equally asirrepressible. A man with a pow-erful intellectual organization, hecan not be "downed." He hasplayed hi'part in many campaigns,and age lends dignity, without taking away his intellectual vigor. Buthe is not the Colyar he used to be.If he goes down in his present fightfor supremacy, he is gone forever.If he triumphs, the end is not yet.

General Bate has fought longand hard for his present position.That is to say, his present positionis the result of a long and hardtight for United States senator.What will become of him? liewill try to go to the senate, but hewill never gratify that ambition.Like b'tvage, Gov. Bate is notappreciated aa he deserves to be.lie is honest,'frank and courageous

Ishara G. Harris has had a longlease on public honor. This factlies in three causes: First, he is ashrewd diseerner of the temper ofthe people and a thorough demagogue; sccocd, he is loyal to hisfriends; third, he knows how toroach the lower passions of thepeople. At the expiration of hisprcftL-u-t term in the senate he willLie retired forever. Tom O'Connorhas gone to his account. Thisstate probably never contained hisequal as a political manipulatorJudge Jno. V. Wright no longer enthuses political meetings with hismagic eloquence. Gen. John MBright in enjoying the quiet of his

splendid farm. John . House canhardly ever overcome his presentretirement. Gen. Whitthorne willfind it, troublesiime to regain hiaformer prestige. Judge L. C. Houkfought fer twenty years for recognition before he met with success,and is now enjoying a wide popu-larity. If he is discreet, he can

if he becomes arrogant, hewi'l fall. Frank Wilsoa rode awhile on a popular wave. lie isnot so prominent now, but beingyoung and active, his future cannotbe fo.etold. John J. Vertices onlyrecently came upon the field of ac-

tion. Young, dignified, intellcctual and ( lover, he would be loved andhonored if he represented a wor-

thier cause. Judge Hughes is get-ting old and unaspiring. EmersonEihcridge, the most eloquent of allthe "old school," has probablymade his last political canvass.Judge Iicid is young and brilliant.He, too, belongs to the present andfuture. Judge R. R. Butler shewslittle age. He belongs to that classof men of whom you cannot predictfar ahead. If he gets down to-da-

he may be up He hasstrong recuperative powers. Col.John AI. Fleming, who came nearbeating Marks for the gubernatori-al nomination in 1S78, is quite aninvalid, and lives in a quiet, poeticrural retreat in East Tennessee.Judge Horace H. Harrison is goodfor .twenty years more of activework, and there is little tellingwhat a man of his ability and highqualities may accomplish. Hon.Wm. M. Randolph, of Memphis,w ho was quite a factor in politics afew years ago, is now active only inhis profession, but the future maycall him forth also. Dr. E. M.Wright is dead. A. A. Freeman isinactive in the state. Gen. Geo.Maaey refuses to take much inter-est in politics. Casey Young willprobably never hold another pohtical office. Gen. Dibrell will beboomed for the doniocratic guber-natorial nomination in 1SS6.

The old are giving way to thenew. The new are growing old,and the next ten years bid lair towork some of the most notablechanges in the political personnelthat have occurred since the war.

A Good Time Coming.Accord to our scientists we have

hardly commenced to subjugate andutilize the forces of nature. Edi-son thinks he can succeed in get-ting electrical energy direct tromthe coal, instead of by the cumber-some and wasteful process now em-ployed. When power can be ob-

tained without the disagreeable ac-

companiments of heat, smoke andsteam, and at so low a cost that itwill be one of the smallest items ofexpense, instead of the largest, theeffect on production can hardly beestimated. Motors instead ofhorses will do our plowing, and thefarmer then will not attach so muchimportance to the quality of lightdraft when he is possessed of asteed whose sinews never tire. Ev-ery house can be supplied with mo-tors to do the washing, run thesewing machine, rock the taby, dothe churning, pump the water, andmake the human muscles play sec-ond fiddle generally. But keepingpower on tap will not be the onlygrand feature of the good timecoming. An inventor has discover-ed a process! The water, we aretold, is resolved into its gases, andby the assistance of a third agentthe wliole unites into one highlycombustible- - gas. A reservoir isplaced near the stove into whichpipes are conducted. The gas isturned off and on, and a3 readilyand more safely than is done in thepresent gasoline stove. Under thisscientific dispensation roast wifewill not be served up with theroast beef. In summer there willbe exactly heat enough to do thecooking. In winter the furnacewill furnish exactly the degree ofheat desired for " health and comfort, and the heat will be uniform.It will be a wholesome heat, as itwill not draw its oxygen from theair in the room. When the eroodwile is cnavled to do her work with- -

eut the assistance of servants thatcannot "sass back" or entertainbeaux in the kitchen, verily shewill consider the millenium is athand. When Master Tommy isnot required to lug coal, pump wa-ter, rock the cradle, or carry outashes, but mount his bicycle, withmotor attachment and take a fortymile jaunt into the country beforebreakfast, he will feel that being aboy isn t as much of a nuisance asit used to be.

Yes, there is a good time comingin more ways than one. Fanningis going to be lifted out of the oldruts of drudgery and it is going tobe regarded as an employment inwhich educated brains will be considered more essential than brutestrength. So, boys, no matter howsmart you may De, or now oig asuccess you think you can make asa lawyer, preacher, doctor or editor,just

The Industrial South,(Richmond,Va.)says: "ine future leaders in tha southare not to be tho pale-face- d philosophersand sentimentalists coming forth fromthe great schools with their heads fullof old books; but they are to be thehardy men of muscle as well as mind,with their heads full of new ideas in in-

dustry, and their hearts high with con-fiden- ca

in the great agaicultural, manu-facturing and commercial capacities be-

fore them." They will be men, too, whowere spurred to exertion by poverty,who will value financial success morethan political distinction.

LOCAL TAXATION FOE EDUCATION.

The Cheapest and Best Eesults are to beHad Alone in this Channel.

Rev. A. I). Ma3'o has performedthe most effective educational laborsat the south and his work has beenso marked as to attract the attentionof the department at Washingtonand his lectures are printed and sentout at government expense. Oneolhis most comprehensive addressestouches upon matters that are nowparamount in Pulaski and he baseshis conclusions upon such impregu-abl- e

grountls that we think it profit-able to transfer a large part to thesecolumns. He reveals a fact thatought to make our cheeks tinglewith shame for the damage we doour children : The average schoollife of children in New England issix years, at the west five, and atthe south three. This statementshould arouse every energy withinus. After discussing the historyand absolute necessity for betterpublic schools at the south, deemingthe first etep to be to awaken proptr-t- y

wner and monied men to the factthat it is to their pecuniary- - interestto aid in making the system perfect,whether they have children or not,he goes on to discuss the very ques-tion that agitates Pulaski

LOCAL TAXATION.The second condition of success

in "building for the children" is tothoroughly arouse and inform thepublic mind on the radical impor-tance of general local taxation forthe support of schools. The aver-age man always finds it difficult totake up one good thing withoutdropping another. Our southernstates, for the next generation, seedevery agency far the support ofschools, individual, corporate, localand state, with all the aid that thenational government can be inducedto give. But it is very importantthat the people should know wherethe real pinch must finally come,and who can justly be held respon-sible for the success or failure oftheir new education. A communitythat buttons up its own pocket andwaits for private beneficence, stateor national aid, to educate its chil-dren, will certainly be disappointedand remain in ignorance. So, whatever may be our individual opinionon the supplementary aids for thepublic school, all thoughtful menmust agree in this, that the burdenmust finally be shouldered by thecommunity whose children aretaught in the schools.

I know the uncertain ground onwhich I tread when I press homethis point of local taxation. One olthe most painful signs of ignoranceand selfishness in public KtTairs isthe prevalence of the notion thattaxation, at best, is disguised des-

potism and the community that getsoff with the least is most to be congratulated. The most fruitful fieldlor the demagogue is a communitydemoralized by this fallacy, for hehas only to raise the cry ot "reduction of taxes" to carry a majority ofdeluded people, who, to save on thetax bid, will put the knite to thethroat of every sacred interest andwillingly drift back to barbarism.The poorest speculation in financialaflairs is to knock out the brains ofa community to save money. TheAmerican idea i3 that taxation is avoluntary assessment of the people,according to their ability, to pay forthings indispensable to the existenceand progress of the community.And wisdom in public fiaance consists in taxing most generous'y forthe most radical public necessity.The state or community that taxesbravely and amply for public education will find itself more and morerelieved from the thousand perils ofpublic dishonesty, public corrup-tion and the hateful charge for crimeand pauperism, and the manifoldcurses that, like a flock of buzzards,hover over an ignorant people.

Whatever may be our theory olpublic finance, it must be evidentthat the one place where local taxation can be most forcibly urged isin behalf of the children. All mengive money freely for what they lovebest; aud surely the school taxshould have in it the most of theheart and mind of the people. Theremay be reasonable doubt concerningthe outcome of expenditure formany objects of public concern, butno competent man for a moment willquestion the wisdom of the mostgenerous investment in that educa-tion which is the development ofpower and the training of everykind of ability that will insure thehighest prosperity for every sort inthe to come; for public moneywisely expended in a good school ismoney loaned to the one creditorwho always payB, who inherits whatwe must leave, to whose chargemust be committed everything forwhich men toil, suffer and fight inthis world. The real treasury ofevery commonwealth, of any city orcounty therein, is the child. Every-thing, at last, depends on our suc-

cess in making him intelligent, in-

dustrious, refined and good. Thecharacter of a town, a county, ageneration hence, is the characterwe pay for by what we give to theupper story of the child to-da- y. Toleave him in mental and moraldarkness, ignorant, snperstitiousbrutal, quarrelsome and shut up tohis own little narrow life, is the surest way on earth to blight the community to which he belongs, boevery dollar wisely expended on thechild is"treasure laid up in neaven.and heaven always pays compoundinterest, while hell was repudiationand bankruptcy from the beginning. Whatever may be left undoneby nation or states, no communitythat understands its own interestwill evade or resist the utmost possible sacrifice for that public education which pays everybody as noother outlay does in this world. Andthe men who should lead in this(rood work should be those whom(rod has blessed with abundantmeans. The only satety for pro3noritv is found where the mass ofthe people is competent to understand the relations cf capital andlabor. Communism is the pit thatvawns below every state whosemasses are sroping through the perilous labyrinth of mental confusionand labor without braina. Of allclasses in our country, the wealthy class can least afford to advocate a narrow and . selfish policy inpublic education.

And, further, we must insist thatjustice and interest alike demandthe most generous and persistentexpenditure for education in thevery lowest strata of society. Thereis little danger that the children ofthe well-to-d- o and superior classwill not cajoy the best opportuni-ties; but the one class no state canafford to neglect is that for whichthe majority cares little, and which,so often, lias no wise regard for it-

self. To cast upon the ignorantmss of either race the responsibili-ty of educating itself is simply todeclare that a state can get on 6afely with such an element perpetuallyincreasing at the bottom of society.It is like the foolish householderwho should turn in disgust, fromthe foul cesspool under his chamberwindow, waiting till it should puri-fy itself, while he lavished histhousands on the adornment of thedrawing room and the luxuries ofhis table. In due time a ghastlydemon would arise from that neg-

lected abyss and stalk through hispalace, smiting the dearest household treasures with disease anddeath, and the glory of maneionwould be changed to a charnelhouse.

And we must realize that themost valuable education we cangive thesa ignorant masses, of everysort, is the most stringent trainingin that intelligent industry, rigideconomy and public spirit whichwill bring out their children uponthe high ground of worthy citizen-ship. It will be good for the south-ern colored man to know that he isnot to remain the perpetual ro-mance of Christendom; less andless, every year, will be bolstered upby charity from abroad, and more,a3 the years go on, will be forced totake his own place and make hisway, in American style, toward thefront. American citizenship can-not always mean prolonged child-hood, or American suffrage the vot-ing of ignorant masses on the mostcomplex problem of governmentnow set upon earth. The bestfriends of our colored people willnow tell them that the highway togenuine "civil rights" is the openfront door of solid American man-hood. The intelligent, industrious,and reliable portion of the freedom,to-da- see more money and arebetter able to face a just taxationthan the people of New England forthe first fifty years of colonial life.The same habit of conscientiouseconomy, intelligent industry andpersistent expenditure on the upperstory of society that brought outthat people, amid the stern sur-roundings of those early years,would land our southern freedmenand the lower masses of the white-race- ,

in half the time, in a positionthat wouid provoke the envy of themajority of mankind for education.Taxation is even more the privilegeof the poor than the duty of therich; for no national wealth canlong endure the strain of a shiftless,childish, dependent lower class, thatswallows up everything thrown intoit a3 the grave shutsout the light of lite.

The states of this Union whereeducation is most glorified, andwhere the people are best satisfiedwith its results, are those in which

large proportion of the schoolfunds are raised by local taxation.Massachusetts has no state schooltax and distributes oaly a hundredand fifty thousand dollars yearlyfrom state funds, while her local as-

sessment last year reached the sumof five millions seven hundredthousand dollars, raised by townsand cities, which assessed them-selves from one to four and a halfmills upon the dollar for schoolsalone. Every northern state, withbut two exceptions, raues the majorpart of its school tax by home assessment: Pennsylvania and Iowa,the whole; New York, Ohio and Ill-inois, four dollars to one. Of thesouthern states the majority endeav-or to support schoola chiefly bystate funds or general taxes, andthe schools in the southern statesare satisfactory just in proportion tothe local consent to taxation. In myjourneying through the south, I amthe perpetual witness to the sharpcontrast between two sorts of communities in the same state and evenneighborhood. One town refusesto assess the local tax and struggleson with an inferior public school,good enough to destroy the privateschools, too poor to satisfy anybodyand the whole educational problemis a muddle from which nobody canfind the way out. Another town, nomore favored in means, assesses acompetent tax, establishes gradedschools for both races, utilizes thebest teachers in the place, and findsitself, in six months, in the most enthusiastic state of satisfactionabout the children. 1 have neverseen little cities, of five thousandpeople, anywhere, in such a state ofharmony and honest pride andhappiness as scores of these towns,from Washington to ban Antonio.

And nowhere does "bread castupon the waters" bring so quick return in kind as in a town whosepeople, by a heroic effort, have united to support the elementary education for every child. I he citiesof Nashville and Atlanta, in tenyears, have gained in reliable population and increase in valuationenough to pay, twice over, all theirexpenditure for schools. The best"boom now in a good southerncounty town is a first rate systemof public achools, crowned by agood academyfor secondary instruction. 1 could give the names otscore of such places where the sud-den increase of supericr populationfrom adjacent districts has raisedthe values of real estate in a way tomake tha school the best financialoperation heard of in a generation

So let all hands turn to andthrough the press and publicspeech, and especially by privateconverse between man and maneverywhere, push the fruitful ideathat "the gods help those that helpthemselves;" that taxation for thechildtni is an investment in all thatgood men and women hold dearestin our dear land; and that the community that gets in ahead with thebest system of education for all, isbound to grow and become, if notin qnantity.in the.higher element ofauahtv. a leader in tna me oi tnenew soutk.

Wealth of the Catholic Church in Mexico.

It is a fact, frankly acknowledged,that the Roman Catholic church inMexico is now surrounded by theruins only of its former greatness.Fifty years ago this opulent insti "

tution owned over three fifths of theCity of Mexico. The income of thearchbishop was greater tLan thatof the Queen of England. In 1S27there were lt0 convents j.nd mon-asteries in Mexico. One-tent- h ofthe products of the country wentto the clergy as tithes. The esti-mated value of church property in1850 was $300,000,000, one third ofthe entire property of the nation.In the City of Mexico there were5,000 houses, valued at $80,000,000,of which the church owned ir.orethan one-half- . Domes rose in everyblock, the cross was lifted upon every bund. The annual income ofthe church in the city of Mexicowas $20,000,000, while that of therepublic was only $18,000,000.

lheclersy in tho city of Pueblaheld mortgages on farms, in thatstate alone, to the amount of $10-000,0- 00.

Between Puebla and Api-zac-

a distance of 30 miles, weie124 churches, and the valley ofPuebla numbered 365 one foreach day in the year. Vast sumswere wrung from the slender purseof the poor; these churches werebuilt by the labor ot the wretchedand ignorant, who served withblind devotion the power thatcursed them, knelt in pitiful faithbefore the blessed cross, whose introduction was the beginaing of theirentailment of misery.

1 hb (jrrand Cathedral stands upon the site of the Aztec Teocali;it covers a space of 426 by 500and its high altar, which is in thecentre of the edifice, is above thespot once occupied by the sacrifi-cial stone. The choir is one massof elaborate carvings; extendingaround it, and leading to the highaltar, probably 200 feet, is a railingof lumbago, manufactured in China,and weighing 2 b tons. It is abrassy-lookin- g metal, composed ofgold, silver and a small alloy ofcopper, but containing so muchgold that an oner has been made toreplace it with pure silver and givemany thousand dollars in addition.The altar itself, placed upon a marble platform, is of wrought andpolished silver, and the whole surmounted by a small temple, inwhich formerly rested the figure ofthe Virgin of Remedios, which wasdressed in three petticoats oneembroidered with pearls, and athird with diamonds, the value ofwhich was over 83,000,000. Thiswas one part of one church in Mex-ico, and that said not to be therichest. I dropped into the sacris-ty one day, and found two or threepadres indulging, in a quiet chatafter mass. They politely volunteered to show me the magnificentset of vestments worked for thecathedral by command of Isabellaof Spain.- - They are of cloth-of- -

gold, incrusted with gems, andwitu passages ol holy, so exquisitely worked in silk that it requiredthe closest inspection for my woman's eye to discover traces ofthe needle. Thes'e gargeous vest-ments are uselessi for practical pur-poses, being so heavy that no manof ordinary dimensions could sus-

tain their immense weight duringmass, or even long enough to pronounce the benediction.

The Cathedral of Puebla is thebest specimen of architecture Ihave seen in Mexico. The materi-al is blue basalt, and the massivebuttresses and lofty towers without,and the noble arches and artisticpillars within, give a dignity andsolidity often lacking. A favoritelegend tells us that, while in pro-cess of building, this cathedralgained mysteriously height duringthe night exactly as much as themasons had accomplished duringthe day. This was said to be thework of two angels who came downfrom heaven and wrought withgolden trowels in their hands, andhence the city acquired the nameof "Puebla de los Angelos" (thecity of the Angels). Here, thegreat altar affords the nnest dis-

play of Mexican marbles in the re-

public, and beneath it is the sepulchre of the bishops. Before therevolution, there suspended fromthe centre ot the vast dome an enormous chandelier a mass of goldand silver weighing tons; one mayimagine its value, from the fact thatthe cost of cleaning it aloneamounted to $4,000. Here thecandelabra were of gold, and soponderous that a strong man couldnot lift them; tha value of the jew-els were of historic notoriety, andan image of the virgin boasted azone of diamonds valued at one million dollars.

The Cathedral of Santa Guadalupe is the most famous in Mexico,and was once the richest and mostvenerated shrine; but the grandold Indian president, Benito Juarez,confiscated most of its gold and silver ornaments, and coined them into money, to carry on his waragainst the church party. Eventhe frame of solid gold which sur-rounds the patron saint was taken,but this was afterward returned.The alter railing, weighing tons, isof solid silver. This alone, of allthe sumptuous church fixtures, wassoared bv the Liberals. n.. fierce.

A Pittsburg writer makes the assertion that in fifty years, or perhaps in half that time, coal will notbe carried from the mines in ouik,but only its actual heat energy willbe transported, and that by wire, aprocess, which, he says, can be accomolished by converting the coalinto heat, the heat into motion andthe motion into electricity; a stor-age battery in Cincinnati wouldtake it np as fast as generated atthe mines, and from this battery itcould be taken and converted backinto motion and heat, or changedinto light.

Cincinnati Merchant Traveler"What is your name, little girl?"asked the Sunday-schoo- l teacher ofa new scholar. "Sheolen Miller,miss, was the answer. "Sheolen rrepeated the teacher, somewhatsurprised; "isn't that ratherqueer name f "Yes, miss; but before the revised version came on itwasn't so queer." Then the teacherfell to thinking of spiritual matters.

Advice to a Young Man.Give the poor man a chance?

My son, the poor man takes about allthe chances without waiting tohave one given him. If 3011 givehim any more chance than he takes,he will soon own everything and runthe Ohio man out of the country.The fact is, we must curtail thepoor man's chances a little. Wemust sit down on him, and holdhim down and give the rich roan achance. The poor man has hadthings his own way long enough.He has crowded the rich man out.But for the poor man, the oldworld would have cast anchor 0,000years ago and be covered withmoss and baruacles to-day- , like aUnited States man-of-wa- r. GeorgePeabody was a boy in a grocery;Edgar Allen Poe was the son ofstrolling players; John Adams wasthe son of a farmer; BenjaminFranklin, the printer, was the sonof a tallow chandler Gilford; thefirst editor of the Quarterly Review,was a common sailor; B n Johnsonwas a bricklayer; the father ofShakspeare couldn't spell andcouldn't write his own nameneither can you; even his illustri-ous son couldn't spell it twicealike; Robert Burns was a child ofpoverty, the eldest of seven chil-dren, the family of a poor bank-rupt; John Milton was the son of apoor scrivener. Andrew Jacksonwas the son of a poor Irishman.Andrew Johnson was a tailor; Gar-field was a boj of all work, toopoor even to have a regular trade;Grant was a tanner, Lincoln a keelboatman and common farm hand,and the Prince of Wales is the saDof a queen. It is his misfortune,not his fault; he can't help it now.But you see, my dear boy, that'sall there is of him; he's just thePrince of Wales, and he's only thatbecause he can t help it Be thankful, my son, that you wern't born aprince: be glad that you didn'tstrike twelve the first time. Ifthere is a patch on your kaee andyour elbows are glossy, there issome hope for you, but never againlet me hear you say that the poorman has no chance. True a poorawyer, a poor doctor, a poor prin

ter, a poor workman f any kindhas no chance; he deserves to havenone, but the poor man manopo--lzes about all the chances there

are. Put L,auan and Jacoo in busi-ness together anywhere, and inabout fourteen years Jacob wi'l natonly own about four-fift- hs of thecattle, but he will have marriedabout one-hal- f his partner's family.Go to, my son, let us give the richman a chance Burdette.

Lived we in a land where sunset soldEmburnish'd ever the blue sky.

Vt here tall white lillies grow embrcidsr dWith thornless ro.es riou in dye.

Fenc'd round about an with a lofty wallfrom tuckering care or sorrows sign

Where golden moons in beauty wax andwano,

And then their silvery light resume,Like to a fair tlow'r whose beauty fading

Konews again its former bloom ;

Whore glittering cascades toss their silveryspray

Crowo'd with. the rainbow's tinted rays,And foather'd songsters, silvory voiced,

Chant their sweet harmonious lays,Where pale brow'd gouius rules aud reigns

supremo,Porfect in all his walks and ways;

Where the sweet voiced nightingale poursforth

Hia note of tuneful melodyUnto the bending rose that blushing lists

Unto his lovelorn rainstrelry;Where glowing youth and beauty bright

renewTheir blooming charms oternally

What tales we'd tell, what songs we'd sing,Beguiling tn Hying Hours wttn sweet ro-

mance!Mow in the shimmering moonlight basking

We'd watch the firetly's myatio dance,Nor casting backward to the land wo'd

knownOne single sad regretful glance?

Keely Surpassed.At one f the fairs of the Massa

chusetts charitable mechanics' association in Boston, the manage-ment forbade any fires in tho build-ing, and, as a consequence, exhibi-tors of portable engines consideredthat they were deprived of opportunities of showing the operation oftheir class of engines. One exhibi-tor showed resources equal to theoccasion, for ho connected tue exhaust pipe of his engine in his exhibit to the boiler ot another or hisengines, removed tne saiety vaive,and connected the fly wheel by belting to the shaft which was kept inmotion by the main engine of theexhibition. This method of driv-ing an engine furnished a supply ofcompressed air in the second boiler,whence used for motive purposes.Soon the manager learned thatthese portable engines were in operation, and assuming that tha regulations concerning fire were necessarily violated, sent a worthy color-ed messenger to report the factsto him. After looking these en-

gines over carefully, he reportedthat they were running the enginesin question with the north-wes- t

wind or something or other. Agroup of laborers were examiningthe engiae, and one or themgave his opinion that cold steamand no fire was the greatest inven-tion yet.

Good Breeding.There would be fewer broken

friendships, fewer unhappy unionsand family quarrels, were it notso much the custom amongst intimate friends and relations to neglect the small courtesies of life, toshow less and less mutual deferenceas they grow more and more familiar. It is the foundation of miseryin marriage, and many a seriousand life-lo- ng estrangement has begun, not trom want 01 anection somuch as-fro- m lack of that delicateappreciation of the feelings of others, which makes a person shrinkfrom saying unpleasant things andfinding fault unless absolutely obliged; and in any case avoid wound-ing the offender's sense of dignityor stirring up within him feelingsot oppositions and animosity, foralthough many persons profess being above taking offense at honestcensure, and even seem to courtcriticism, yet it must be very carefully administered not to be unpalatable. Very kind and generous actions are often so uncouthly per-

formed as to cause the recipientmore pain than- - pleasure, while a reproof or a denial may be ao ewect- -

cned by courtesy as almost to doaway with any sense of mortifica-tion or disappointment. Trne,good breeding is always strongly-incline- d

to form a favorable judg-ment and to givo others credit ofbeing actuated by worthy motives;it does not wish or seem to knowmore about people than thev themselves desire should bo known, but11 is always prepared when necessary to take an interest in the affairs of others, while self is notsuffered to obtrude unduly.

Rates for weights in excess ofone ounce will be correspondinglygreater; that is, two cents for eachadditional ounce or fraction of anounce, it matters not how small.

Drop letters at offices wherethere is no free delivery by carriersremains at one cent; where the freedelivery system by carriers prevailsthe rate will be two cents. News-paper publishers and news agentscan mail publications, printed peri-odically, at the rate of one cent perpound, when sent to regular sub-scribers.

Newspaper publishers can alsosend sample copies of their publica-tions at one cent a pound, but newsagents cannot. Any article or itemin a newspaper or other periodicalmay be marked to attract notice bythe sender, but it must not be bywritten or printed words. Newspa-pers and periodicals go free of post-age to regular subscribers who re-ceive at postoflices in the county ofpublication.

Stamps especially designed forthe newspaper rate, of one cent de-

nomination, are now ready for saleand will be used on the first of July.

A ''Merchant Prince" Skips.Omaua., Neb., June 2). L. S.

Smith, who aspired to be known asthe merchant prince of the prairies,paid his bill at a local hotel yester-day, checked for variously reportedpoints, and left for parts unknown,taking, it is said, $100,000 in cashwith him. Smith came here eightmonths ago from Chicago. Ho bad$75,000, which he invested in thodry goods business, of which howas apparently wholly ignorant.Heat once began running mam-moth excursions into the city fromdistant points, purchasing the com-plete advertising space of daily pa-

pers and performing other likefeats. His prices reduced othermerchants to a point where theywere forced to go slaw. Ho car-peted the streets for pedestriansand gave open air concerts for thopoor. Some time ago it was thoughthe could not go much further with-out help, and his creditors placedmen t watch matters. These menhad decided to close the place tomorrow. At a late iiour last nigutSmith transferred his stock to Colo& Co., a new firm from the cast, thoconsideration being $30,000 and$10,000 in three months. Smith saidlittle about his business, and hetook his manager with him when heleft.

31 1 88 or Sirs.?To the editor of the X. Y. World.

There has arisen considerable discussion between myself and others concerning the propriety of using Miss orMrs. be lore the maiden name of agrace-wido- w who has dropped tha natnsof her divorced husband. A. A. II.

fThe title, "mistress" (abbreviated Mrs.) has no connection withmarriage. It is the rightful title ofany woman who governs a home,and is properly applied by courtesyto all women, married or single.Miss is the diminutive of mistressand is applied properly only to little girls under tea years old. Girlsover that age are Mrs. by courtesy.if not by right. Mr. means master.Mrs. means mistress. As a younggentleman is Mr. by courtesy, if notmaster of a house, a 1 the young lady is Mrs. by courtesy, if not byright. In the present case, the wo-

man, having been the mistress ofa house and being over ten yearsold, cannot shed her title of Mrs.Ed. World.

The agitation over the cultivationof the Le Comte pear does not seemto be confined to South Caroliaaalone. A dispatch from Hinesville.Ga., to one of the papers, says: "Alarge acreage has been planted andtke prospect for a large yield thisseason is promising. Many peoplethink they will be more profitablethan the orange culture in Florida.The pear trees will average twentybushels to the tree when they arefully grown, and the presumption isthat they will nSVer bring less thanone dollar a bushel. Now, when itis remembered that an orchard oftwenty or thirty acres will not re-

quire an outlay of fifty dollars perannum, it is nut difficult to estimatothe profits arising from their culture.They grow in this locality almostentirely without care, and the treescan be hastened very much in theirgrowth, and made to produce morelargely with fertilization and cul-

ture, as a a matter of course." Ifthis industry becomes exteasire itwill necessitate the establishmentof several large canning establish-ments at such central points as At-

lanta, Gainsville.Seneca City.Green-ville- ,

Spartanburg, and Charlotte.Man. Record.
