The : and radical branches of the union- j evidently disposed to embrace the tory ministry as little as possible until they are ready to formulate their 4lans for remedial legislation in Ireland , I 'In ' fact pledges to this ollect have already passed between Lord Hartington and jlr.

As TO the relative culpability Garland and J Harris Honors , m the Pan , Electric business , it is pretty nearly u 'stiuidoll' . " The conception of most of 'the rascality connected with the scheme vas cloublless Iho work of Rogers , who lias been shown lo have a remarkably ready and prolific ingenuity in this direc tion , but H i evident that Garland was a jiuost willing party to it. The rccrlmina- jtions of these two Individuals are inter- ) sting us addilional exposures of the lack of principle of both , and will not change or improve the public opinion of cither. Tin : movement of the workingmen of ew York for independent political nc- , 'tion is crystali/.lng. At a largo meeting Jliold Friday evening overtures were made , , to Henry George , the well known social ist writer , to accept the candidacy for the mayoralty. In a communication Mr. < > corge implied a lack of faith in so-called labor movements , and as a prerequisite to acceptance asked that ho should bo pledged thirty thousand votes. So un usual a demand had a rather dampening cflbct , but committees were appointed to "fool the pulso" of the labor element , and there will bo further action next week , lloanwhilo , possibly n less exacting can- r tlldato than George may bo found. THE executive order issued a few weeks jigo advising public ollicials not to mix too actively and prominently in politics , has prorod eflectivo thus far only to a Tory limited'extent. Almost before the ink had dried the order was violated by the federal democratic ) ofllelals in llhodo Island , and nt the recent democratic con vention of Michigan there wore prcsont a do/en or more representatives of the adminislration who are drawing pay tor their services from the public treasury , all prominent in managing the work and shaping the sentiment of the convention. i , 'The postmaster * of Chicairo and Springfield - field , and tin employe of the former office - fico , arc invmben of the Illinois Homo crntio state committee , the Chicago post- jjnastor nlso representing IHInoU in the aiational democratic committee. Tim < 'hica o Herald pertinently remarks that " 'Iho president's order means something or it means nothing. " The extent to nvhich It is disregarded leaves no doubt a to what i.s thn gouo\U opinion of dem ocrats respecting it. A Forgotten ItcHponslhlllty. Mr Tilden's great benefaction has re ceived the comment nnd the generous praise which such a gift for public uses so purely meriK The Tilden trust with its rich endowment of live millions , was the means adopted by a man of wealth to distribute the bulk of his fortune among the people from whom it w.ts originally derived. Such acts of beneli- cence do much to allay the growing feel ing of antagonism between the poor und the possessors of large fortunes. In oilier countries miiniliccnt bequests for the benefit of the public are common. In our own. Instances like that which will forever innnortali/.o Mr. Tildcn's name are for from frequent. The struggle for wealth , nnd not for what it can accomplish In the humaniz ing and amelioration of cocicty , is becom ing a typical American evil. Our million- ait es are posses-ed with the idea of build ing up great establishments and leaving their children to maintain the family name with the added importance of in creased family wealth. There is little of that feeling of the responsibility which attaches to wealth that Is found abroad , and which shows itself in for eign countries in the founding of hospitals , the endowment of museums , the construction of colleges and tlio maintenance of great charitable institutions. The American inonoy kings who have erected such monuments "more lasting'tliaii bronco" arc few and far be tween. There are biilliant exceptions , such as Stephen Girard , George 1'eabody , William Corcoran , John C. Green nnd John .Jacob and William Astor. But when computed with the laigo number of possessors of Immense fortunes'in this country the number is trilling and incon siderable. Every city should be made through its monuments of local liberality the pan theon of its wealthy clli/.ons. The men whose life-long struggle for wealth has been crowned with success largely through the growth of the communities in which they live , .should bo glad to re turn a nortion of their aoeit initiations to foster intelligence , alleviate distress and increase the futiiio prosperity of their city. Such benefactions outlast the Hoot ing gossip of their former possessions and carry the name of the benefactor in peaceful remembrance down to a grate- lul posterity. Uoiid Election. The special election on Tuesday will give our citizens and tax payers an op portunity of deciding whether paving shall bo continued through districts al ready defined by thn council and in whicli the property owners are anxiously awaiting street improvements. The proposition to bo submitted calls for sanction from the people for § 30,000 additional paving bonds. This amount will permit the city to order paving to the extent of some iftoO.OOO , a portion at least of which can bo done this fall. The paving already laid in Omaha covers the principal part of tlio business portion and several thoroughfares lead ing to the country roads outside the city limits. That which ought to bo done next and for which there is an immediate demand , comprises the residence portion nearer the center of the city with a few blocks to complete streets now partially paved. Omaha has started well in her public improvements. She iias reaped the bene fit of her enterprise and foresight. The rapid rise of real estate has been no where more steady than along the streets which all'ord adjacent lots the bene fits of water , gas , sewers , good grades and a solidly paved and clean street. Every dollar which wo have expended in public improve ments has come back to us twice over in enhanced values. The fact that Omalui is to-day attracting so much attention from eastern capitalists is largely due to her persistent work to inako tlio city at tractive , healthy ami convenient for busi ness and residence purposes. The same arguments that were advanced for paving two years ago hold good for a contiuu- ft oe ol paving operations to-day. We cannot aflbrd to stand still. To lie on our oars in tlio race for improvement is to drift helplessly to thu rear. Under our ex-collent paving law the cost of paving is distributed over a number of years , wliich makes the annual tax on property owners comparatively small. Paving pays largo returns on the invest ment. In addition it ensures employ ment for woikingmon , and with employ ment and the distribution of wages as sists local trade. Oollrga Kxtrnvnganae. However wide may bo the variance in the views of collegiatos , and of those per sons interested in the policy and conduct of American colleges , respecting the ques tions of elective studies and of physical training and development , whicli have been within the past few years matters of earnest discussion , there is practical unanimity of opinion regarding tlio nowoc and by no moans less important question of college extravagance which 1ms re cently forced itself upon attention. It must not bo assumed that uocnuse this matter is just now being freely talked about by college presidents and in the press that it Is a now ovll of prcsont-day development. On the contrary , it has always existed to a greater or less extent In the older and larger colleges of this country. A generation ago , when be fore the war the sous of southern plant ers wore enrolled in considerable num bers at Harvard and Ytdo and IVincoton , many of the.so youthful representatives of the aristocracy of the south were quite as extravagant in their out lays , anil as reckless in their habits , as have boon Iho least prudent and cir cumspect among the students at these colleges - legos at any subsequent period. It was the pride of these sons of sires who owned great plantations and an army of slaves to miiUn princely show of their wealth , and in most cases they had al most unlimited parental indulgcncii in the practice of extravagance. Very much the saino spirit controlled then that undoubtedly actuates llio young mon in thn colleges of to-day who liavo abundant wealth behind thorn and thoughtless or injudicious parents to draw upon the youthful ilcMro to assort linanciul superiority united with iv natural love of display. Most college men of thirty yeans ago will recall examples of reckless - less extravagance in their personal oxpori cnco which the most heedless outlays that are now attracting attention do not greatly overtop , in thlj respect the college - lego life and experience of to-day is bimply repealing hiMory , with the difference - enco that tlio fault has boeu from the aristocracy of tlio soutii to that of the north. But the fart that this evil has the authority of arc and long toleration does not diminish its influence for harmer or lessen the necessity for Its eradication. Its tendencies are bad in many direc tions. It repels young men of moderate means from entering college. It subjects those who have the courage to face it to nm ing humiliations. It Introduces the ciste of wealth into the colleges , the places of all others where such a distinc tion should not bo allowed. It is detri mental to discipline and to the princi ple of equality which these in titu- lions should maintain. It is demoralizing to the habits and destructive of the morals of those who yield to it. Xo pi oof hoi olid the simple statement of the tact that a college .student has expended ten or twelve thousand dollars a year is nec essary to demonstrate that much the greater purl of this sum was wasted in wild living , gambling , and to pay for vices , yet there are many whoso extrava gances and reckless habits eat up these slims annually. There is nothing sur prising in tlio reports which occasionally Iind their way into the news papers of tlio deplorable conduct of stu dents when parents freely and nnques- tioningly supply their sons vvilh the means to gratify their passions and their follies. It Is a nice question whether the ro- spon ibilily for college extravagance rests primarily and chiefly with the oIH- cials pf the colleges or with the thought- lessor injudicious parents of the students , but doubtless llie vvight of opinion will place it with the former , as having the belter opportunity of personal observa tion of the conduct of those under their charge , us well us an o.xacl knowledge of their reqiiiiements. Probably it would bo just to divide the responsibility , since no ordinarily intelligent and jiHicious parent could bo misled into believing that the necessities , or even the leason- able luxuries , of a son at college require any such expenditure us many students make. But clearly it is the duty and pol icy of the colleges , in their own defense , to correct this evil , which appears to hnvo been growing steadily from year to year until it has developed into alarming pro portions. Captain Xoino Outdone. Jules Verne's famous submarine boat , the Nautilus , with its no less famous owner and pilot , Cautain Nemo , was one of the best and boldest of that author's flights into tlio realms of h'ction. Its trip of twenty thousand leagues under the sea has bcon read by more than twice twenty thousand readers who have fol lowed with interest the fascinating and apparently improbable details of the voyage of a vessel which made its journey as easily and as readily miles under the surface of the waters as the steam monsters of the deep do on the bosom of the ocean. Jules Verne's fanciful creation has been duplicated in many of its featuroa by a New York engineer , who on Tues day gave a practical exhibition of his new .submarine boat on the Hudson. Prof. Tuck's boat , the 1'cnccmnLcr , marks an epoch in naval construction. The vessel , built of steel and looking more like an immense turtle than any thing else , is designed to make long voyages under the water and to attack and destroy the largest vessels by the use of toipedoos projected from its hull. The motive power is derived from the action of chem icals in which caustic soda seems to bo the principal element , and compressed air is used to furnish its occupants with a vitalized atmosphere , in the trial made in New York harbor , the Pwemukcr % vas propelled rapidly up the river for a few hundred yards when it dove like a lish tea a depth of forty feet. Wlien it reappeared it was nearly a mile distant from the point whore it started. Reporters who made the voy age within the vessel note that it obeyed perfectly its rudders , rose , dove and turnedat will without apparent ofl'ort ; thut the motion of t ie innchinery was scarcely perceptible , and that there was an cntiro absence of smoke , heat or odors during the working of the engines. The vessel , like Captain Nemo's Nauti lus , is lighted with electric lamps , pro vided with gauges registering its depth from the surface , and Titled up with min iature accommodations for its occupants which rival in comfort those on the best of the men of war. Captain Nemo was obliged to seek the upper air before leaving his vessel , but Professor Tuck is working on a device by which ho claims the occupants of the 1'cttcemttkcr will bo enabled to leave it at a depth of forty foot and return to it in safety. Jules Verne's imaginative genius will now have to bestir itself in another di rection. Yankee invention has reali/.ed the conquest under the sea. It will next , perhaps , solve the problem of a trip to the moon. A. Very Knotty i'roblcni. The perplexing question of convict Jauorwill hayo commanding importance this year in the elections of two states. The gonmvl assembly of Illinois at its last session adopted a resolution sub- milting to the popular vote the question of the continued letting of convict labor , to bo passed upon at the coming Novem ber okvilion. In Michigan the people will vote upon the ratification of a con- alitutional amendment relating to this subject. Every etl'ort will undoubtedly bo made to bring the question to the at- Umtion of voters , particularly among the working classes , and it is not doubt ful that the result will bo overwhelm- in-rly against convict labor , as was the case when a similar question was voted on in New York. It is to be noted that lliu platforms of both the political parties , where they refer to this subject til all , take positive grounds In opposition to all employment of convict labor which places it in competition with free labor. It Is to bo furthermore noted that opposition to the labor of con victs , as now very generally om- plojcd , is not confined to Iho ranks of free labor. A mooting of manufacturers from several states assembled in Chicago Thursday and a ( looted an organization , with thu object of instituting "a thorough investigation of Iho subject of contract labor for the purpose of discovering and securing Iho adoption of a method of cm- ploying prison population least bur- densoniu mid oppressive to thu free labor and manufacturing interests of the coun try , " The chairman of this meeting is quoted a saying "that the employment of convict labor was as serious a menace to Iho manufacturer as to the laborer. " There can bo no doubt as to the ulti mate fate of this question when capital and labor the manufacturers nnd work men arc united iitsontimcnt regarding it. Thut menus t at convict labor must go , probably by gAtlff-il steps after Iho trial of unions expedient * , bill all lead ing to the inevltnlile'5temr of Ha total abandonment in all direction * in which it can oiler the slightest competition to free labor. Tiio iinmemitfrcontcst Is against the contract system , in slates where that plan is in vogue , and among those vvl.o believe that convicts .should have some employment the substitutes pro posed arc the state account and the piece- price plans. In tlio very comprehensive report made on this subject at the last session of the Congre > s of Chairitios and Coirection , lo which extended reference was made at the time in these column * , tlu" o several plans were discussed from a practical point of v low. The contract system was nnqiialniedly condemned as being unjust in nil directions to the state , to tlio prisoners , and to free labor and those who employed it. The htatc account plan , while it would bo a great advance , was deenie.d impracticable by reason of the large outlay that would bo required in machinery , tools and other appliances and facilities. The piece- price plan was commended as entirely feasible , specially advantageous to tlio state , more just to prisoners , and capa ble of being regulated s0 that while con victs lound .sullieient employment tor their own physical and moral welfare their labor would not seriously com pete with flee labor. These three plans seem to cover the whole ground of practicable expedients for dealing with this very knotty problem. At all events the experienced men who have given a lifetime of study and per sonal investigation to tlio subject sug gested none other , and seemed to bo unanimously convinced that one of these i.s the only plan that can be made suc cessful. it is probable that this plan will have its period of trial , more or less general , but the greater piobability is that no sys tem of employing convict labor in the mechanical industries will bo perm an- cully tolerated , and Unit in time , in nearly all of the states , the majority ot convicts will be maintained in idleness , or given only such casual work as is outside the lines of skilled labor. The demand that this shall bo done is certain to glow with the increase in the supply of labor , and it will not be set aside by the arguments , however obviously wise and just , that such a policy would be in judicious , that it would Increase taxa tion , destroy the best means of discipline in prisons , add to the difli- cullies in ni.ningmg penal in stitutions , and < lo an injury ( to society and an injustice to prisoners by depriving them ol'1 the'1 opportunity to equip themselves for becoming honest and solf-Mipporting citi/.ens when again at liberty. In the prNons of New York , where there tire no unfulfilled contracts , the convicts are kept in idleness ex-ccpt as they arc employed in domestic work , but there is no popular complaint because the Dcnitcntiaiics have become an addi tional charge upon the state. Nor is there likely to be. 1,1' it } io admitted that the plans to which wo jio-ve referred com- pri = o all the practicable expedients for utili/ing prison labor.anU that but one of them is leally worthy 'of'lu pUon , then it is apparent that th'6rc is no way ot cm- ploying this labor so that it shall not in some degree compete with free labor. That being the case , the agitation of this question will not stop until it has reached the end in the general abolition of- all prison labor in connection with the me chanical trades. And this resiJt | may not be very remote , oithur. KANI : , the Orange grand master who is coming to America to "refute the Na tional league slanders" and to denounce that orgaiii/.nlion us an "immoral , athe istic conspiracy , " cannot bo assured of a very hearty' and general welcome. In deed , to bo frank , it is very likely ho will find his pathway hero bestrewn with serious obstacles ami perhaps even be set vvilh some clangor. Air. Kane may have wondeiful ability , but it is quite safe to predict that ho will be unable to convince any considerable number of people on this continent , oven among those whoso religions views would un der most circumstances load them to sympathize with the Orangemen , that Mr. Parnoll nnd his associate leadens in the cause of Ireland nave any such aims as > Kane is said to ascribe to thorn , or that the league is a conspiracy. There in an unquenchable faith hero that Mr. Gladstone would not bo n party to any scheme for tlio personal aggrandizement of Irish leadens , or approve a band of conspirators , and nothing Mr. Kane may say will diminish this faith. Ho would better have remained at home and kept his turbulent order In an oidcrly condi tion. TIM : disposition of President Cleveland to disregard precedent Is shown in every case where ho is not constrained to respect - spect it by statutory law. The designa tion of the adjutant general of the army to bo acting secretary of war is the "most recent instance of this The oll'ect is to clothe n subordinate olllcor with authority over the ollicial acts of the general of the army , and tin * happuns while the la1 tor is at his post of duty , and-therefore ! likely at any time to be siiljji'cted to the cx'cr- else of this authority. , < lt is hardly prob able that tliu prosidcntfjiud any other object or motive in this matter except to again demonstrate that ho doesn't care anything about wilt ! : tie ) custom has been.

JOHN SHERMAN AT HOME , A Visit to tlio Busy Mannfnotnring Towns of Northern Ohio. THE CITY OF MANSFIELD An Interview With Ohio's DlMltf KUlilKMl Senator The Political Utillnok Wlnit Ho Mn i to Sny About Vim AVyoItN Appeal. M VNirni.n : , ( ) . August 20. [ CoriT-'tiondcuoc ] As a diversion from my visit to Cleveland , in attendance upon tlio reunion of tlio Society of the United States Mlllury Teli'gruph corps , I have made u tour of the manufacturing towns of northern Ohio , including Akron , Canton , Musslllon and tMamlleld. Akron is the most prosperous and enterprising industrial city of its popuiaMon in Amerie.v. U ilh a population of less than thlity thousand , it uan boast of the larg est oatmeal mill in the world , the large-t match factory in America , and one of the greatest agricultural implement con cerns in thn weit , Besides these there are scores of btnull faotorios , employing from twenty to two hundicd hands each. 'the magnitude of those industrial estab lishments can bo best illustrated when 1 .say that the ollk'o building of the big oat meal factory is as largo and as costly a structure as the Omaha postolllci' . It is built of eut stone and elegantly fur nished. The factory kings of Akron.aml for that matter , of all the towns I viMted , live in magnificent styln. Their icsi- dcnces will rival those of thu merchant princes of the largest cities in the coun try. Everywhere the hum of industry is heard , and the gloom of tlu > late oppres sion has given way to encouraging pros perity. Omaha could well afford to emulate the example sot by these Ohio factory towns in fostering manufactures. At Canton a bonus ol a large tract of land and $100.000 cash has just been raised by her wealthy cituons as an inducement to the Duebor \V titoh company to locate its works there These works will all'ord employment to over one thousand mechanics , which in- Mires an addition of from 3,000 to . " > 0 K ) to the population of O.uiton within the next year. This corner of Ohio was onre thn homo of .some of the most prominent and suc cessful business nii'ii of Omaha. Among the e who are remembered at Akron are C. F. Goodman. AV. J. Hroateh. W. F. liechel and C. A. Baldwin. At Canton the Ilerford hou-e tcmindod one of the llorlord family , who played a prominent part in the early settlement of Onmlm and Nebraska , llnre , William \V. Wal lace was raised and Senator Mnndorson received his lirst prominence in public life , Sam Burns , N A Kuhn and F. A. Schneider also hail from Canton ; Mrs. Schneider still owns a two-hundred acre farm in this vicinity , which is a small fortune in itself. The Konnt/.i'N , iMnCormirks and Hers are also well-known in this part of Ohio. JUanv imiuiries were made coiieernin' ' : all these liuckoyes now in Omaha , which tr.ivo me gient plc.isiirc to answer , bv as- Miring their friends that tliev were all m a condition to keep the wolf liom the door. is one of the romantic sites in the Seioto valley. In many respects it resembles Hie towns in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys , with its high plateau , allbrding a biiperb view ol the surrounding coun try. The piincipal biibiness btreots tire rather sleep , but being payed nnd pro vided with broad stone sidewalks , the heavy grade is not tiresome On the square at the .summit , which forms the terminus of the main business thorough fare , stands a handsome and Mibstantial eourl house. From this 8qiuuoon a very slight slope , runs a grand avenue , whii-ii which in many respects is not interior to the famous Euclid lucnucof Cleveland. For more than two miles this avenue , lined with a double row of trees , is a con tinuous succession ol beautiful modern residences. No fences mar the beauty pf the grounas , which form a varied landscape of lawn , foun tain , llower beds , shrubbery and shade trees. No two houses are alike , anil tne architectuic embodies the most modern designs. Interspersed among the resi dences are half a do/.en grand church edijice.s , with their steeples and .spires. which would do credit to a city of 200,00 ! ) people. They were nearly all built or roJ'uilt wjtliin jlio ijt live jrcans , as won * most ot tin- palatial homes iimtauorn ilio street. The homo of JOHN Slir.KHAN occupies the crest of the hill , nt-ar tlio farther end of this beautiful avenue. It is a massive square brick building , standing about two hundred feet back from the line of the street , in a forest of grand piiie.s , and llankcd by graperies and fruit trees. Tlio cntiro grounds cover bovontc.on ucies , niul are neces sarily fenced. Desiring to jny my re spects to the distinguished MaU'Miian I rang the door bell , which was an swered by a servant , who took m.v curd and soon returned with an invitation to step into the library. The senator whom I had met when ho was si'crotary of the treasury , and since his return to the senate- greeted mo very cordially. John Sherman is one of the best preserved men I ha.ve ever met. He docs not look a dny older than ho did ton years ago. Morn than six font tall , he is still straight as an arrow , and while his grilled hair and board denote age , his walk and talk indicate extiaordinury vitality. - " "You are out of your hiUtude , " said the .senator. "Not lit all , 'J replied I ; "Ohio used to bo myold stamping ground. I lived in Cleveland many yeais , and was in your district at Sandusky when you were run ning for congress in 1858 " "rhat was my third campaign in that district. I was elected four times to con gress always by a round majority. The last lime by over fUOO. ) Now the dis trict is deinoer-itie " "What is the outlook la Ohio i" 1 asked. "Wo : ro sure to carry Ohio , " said ho. "Although tlui democrats have put a Knight of Labor at the head of their ticket , the great mass of workingmen know that wo have always been their friends. Tlio Germans , who are more independent than any clnss of voters , are not pleased with the course of tlio domoi-rats during thu past two yeans " "N'lnit about the national outlook ? " I Inquired. "It is a little too early to make positive ' predictions , " said he' . "J legard the prospccl.s for republican success as fair. New York will bo the rivorAf , STATI : , and whoever the candidate is ho must have not only Iho conlideneo of the great moiicycd Interests but of the industrial uhisso's us well1 By the way , I notiro that you are to have a very lively campaign in Nebraska this tall , f sco that VAX WVUK 1ms undo an appeal tor a popular voto.

"I cannot possibly come , " snld IIP ; "the session lins been very late , and 1 n-it to recuperate here so us to be i to enter the campaign in Indiana. Sen ator Harrison is lighting for ro-olcctio i , and Indiana is a very close state. I am very soiry I cannot go to Kcbra-ki. i ours is n great and growing state , an I I should like to take a trip out there to , ! tne change that has taken place in thu last four or live years. " Stepping out of the house Into his orchard , Senator Sherman said : "Th s is the highest point in Ohio. It Is 1l ; 0 feet above the sea level , and is the dlviclu of the rivers that empty into Lake Kn.i . on the north and the Ohio on Iho south. " The view fioni this spot was charming and romantic. H presented a tianorum i of town , factories , xalloy and river unex celled by any other \lovv. except that of the Ohio valley , in tlio vicinity of Cincin nati. 1C. Itosuvv.vmi. MANGLEnS OF MEXICANS , Capt. Whack llnlloy'fi Itculinont of Horoi'H. Atlanta Constitution : Mr. 1C. 1 $ . Hook , of the Augusta Chronicle , walked hur riedly around the southwest cornorof the kimball House , yesterday morning , nnd found himself In the fraternal embrace of a Constitution reporter. "Where have you been r" inquired the reporter. "To Augusta ; I spent yesterday thorp. " "Did you see that famous military chieftain. Capt. Whack Bailey ? " "I did. " "Was ho welly" "Ho was , although his strength has re cently been ureally taxed by a buinVii- some correspondence. You'd be aston ished tn see the number of letters each mail brings. They tire ehiully from Geor gia , but many are from oilier stales , 1 hey all relate to the regiment ho is rais ing for service against the Mexicans. Some are intended as jokes , but most of them are in deadly earnest. Sinc > the Constitution published tiiat he was pre paring to invade Mexico , I should Bay that ho has received at least a thousand letters from men who aie anxious to join him. " "What is the tone of the letters ? " "Decidedly volcanic. You can smell powder and blood every time the post man stops at Captain Bailey's headquar ters. A funny thing about many of iheso letters is that the writers not only wish logo to Mexico , but they wish to go 113 olhcers. Captain Bailey's will bo a novel regiment , if he commissions every man that desires lobe an olliecr in it. ( Jno younji fellow , who Iiv e.s at Sparta , wrote that if Captain Bailey would make him a lieutenant , he woulcf enlist twenty men in twenty minutes , and leave for Am gusta by the first train. " "Any applications for quarlermastor's place ? " "Uushels of 'em. Why , a glance over the slacks of letters would make jou believe - lievo that writers that did not desire to bo ollicci.s desired to bo oimrlcrinastcni. " 1 asked Captain Bailey what he was golii"1 to do for privates. "Oh , " ho replied , "I shall send to some foreign country and hire one. " "How many companies will Captain Hailoy have in his regiment * " " \ \ ell , judging by the piesent state of attains , 1 should say about 1,000. You sue , besides the Augusta companies , there's the Atlanta contingent , the South Caio- lina contingent , the Tennessee coutin- Kent , the Ala " "It seems to be a regiment of con tingents. " "Yes , contingent upon the display of proper backbone ) by Secretary Bayard. " Tlio reporter wont oil'and wept. Ten minutes later ho was rudely dis turbed by a man who , like Mr. Hook , had. just returned from Augusta , "Whv these tears ? " inquired the man. "Well , " began the rciiorl'ir , "filr. Hook , ot the " "Say , " said the man , with continued , riidone.ss , "you ought to tto down to August and see Captain Whack Bailoy. IIo'Il cure you of inelancnoly. He's orgaiii/ing the biggis regiment oyer heard ot to wnip thi ) Mexicans. It's to be named the 1st Georgia Volunteers , c. t. m. o. b. " "What docs the hieiogiyphio tall mean ? " "It means 'Go to Mexico or bust. ' " "Look hero " said the " , reporter , "m certain quarters in Georgia there aio people ple who pretend that they do not know who Captain Whack Uallev is Can you describe him bliographic a ly ? " "Captain Whack Hailev ? Why , bless me , Captain Whack Bailey is why , he's Captain Whack Bailey. Turn him and bis rcgimem l < > i > o in Mexico , and they'll ' wliaok ths lito out of tlio greasers in a single day.1 ' * Levity aside , Captain Whack I > aile.y was a gallant soldier on the soutii side during the war between the stales. It Iho United States should gather sullicicnt courage to li lit Mexico , lie and his regiment will do valiant service. Hints on The reader Coleridge has divided into four uhiheod. lie hays : 'The lirst clasn of readeis may bo compared to an hour glass , their reading being as the sand , it runs in and out and loaves not a vestige behind. A second class resembles a sponge , which imbibes everything and returns it in nearly the same state. A third is like a jellybag , which allows all that is iniro to pass and retains only the refuse anil dregs. The fourth class may bo compared to the slave of Golconda , - who. casting aside all that is worthless , preserves only the pure gems. " It Is to bo feared that in the present day the greatest number of readers belong to Iho lifslof tho.so classes , The amount read is something almost fabulous , but the re sults are comparatively trillmit. Volume after volume is lionised ; pamphlets and papers are mentally consumed , but thu stores of knowledge are not perceptibly increased. This charge lies onjy against those who read secular works ; it applies to too great an extent to those who read the scriptures and other treatises upon things divine. Lord Bacon once said that "reading makes a full man. " Ho could not have meant the kind of reading that IH now lee prevalent. Tlio omnivorous leaders , the readers who skim through lingo afler page , the butlerlly readers , wlto tastu .some llowors of literature hero and there , but never Kettle down to a resolute - elute extraction of the sweets , are found at the year's end. afler nil their reading , not more "lull" intellectually , but otten mori ) foolish than before , Why is this ? Because m these express days thu read ing has been ilono as quickly as possible , and because what is read one hour la burled beneath a heap of multifarious matter the next hour. But if a man read upon a prudent plan , If lie digest what he mentally receives , his reading will be come a delightful bourco of yory o.\l < m j fiivti informaliiin and sound wisdom , Heading should bo in moderation. Ilia possible to devour whole libraries and yet learn nothing. It is .said ( hat Miss Marti- nciiu ofttm lend in one hour no moro than a single page of a good book , An emi nent divine and author is said to have had bill tin Co books thoBiblo.Josopheus' woikfl and Crudon's Concordance , A celebrated French author buing lauhgcd at becau.se of tlio fimallncgs of his library. replied. "Ah , when I wanted a hook I made it.1' On the other hand , Mine , do Stael-Holstein is faid to have devoured UOO novo'n ' before slio was fifteen vcars of ago , and to have road tliose GOO in three months an average of six each day. Louis XVI. , while imprisoned for u period of live months and sown days , read 157 volumes , or one book a day. " bueh liter ary gluttony could have left little good result. Too much reading is as iujuiioui to the mind us too much locdjug is to I us body ,
