The Philadelphia Item makes the somewhat
startling announcement that it has seen a prl
vate letter written by a well known Demo
cratic leader at Washington and containing
the statement that President Cleveland's long
delayed "letter of acceptance" will decline
the nomination -tendered him. at St. Louis.
It is farther said in this private letter that
the President has been much astonnded at
the protection feeling developed in the
Democratic party since the Mills bill was
passed and he fears a disruption in the pnAy
ranks of such magnitude that another set
back of twentyv-five years will ensue It the
free trsde issue is stack to. The Item also
says that it aent a dispatch to Colonel Daniel
Lamont,asking whether there was "any foun
dation for the report that President Cleve
land will decline the Democratic nomination
in his long delayed letter." To this dispatch
there was no reply whatever.
This is very interesting if true. Probably,
however, it is not true. It is not likely that
the President haa any idea of eWiridcing him
self for the sake of his party. H he has it is
new to him. Bat there is good reason to be
lieve that Demooratlo harmony is increasing.
Henry George, for instance, is very mnch dia
pleased because Mr. Cleveland has "in the
official lead of bis ght men who are against
him upon the issue on which he must either
win or lose." He Hat's: As an indication of
the temperature at tbv Democratic headquar
ter. I am informed by Donn Piatt, editor
of Belford'a Magaalne, that he called there a
few days ago with Mr. .Robert Bel ford, pub
lisher of the magazine. They met there Col
onel Tracy, one of the confidential men in
charge of an important department. Colonel
Piatt said to Colonel Tracy: "From informa
tion received from that agents of Belford,
Clarke & Co., who have been instructed to
Inquire into and report on the condition of
the country politically, I have learned that
we have at the present lost Conneotiout and
New Jersey beyond doubt, and that wa will
lose New York unless something is done."
Colonel Tracy replied, "It is of no use; we
need not try to blind ourselves to the fact
that we cannot stand xtp against the cry of
free trsde."
Colonel Tracy evidently has good eyesight.
But it isn't probable that he expects to see
President Cleveland withdraw so that a pro
tectionist can be nominated.

The American Aiohitect says that while
building has diminished in New York and
some other large cities it is still aa vigorous
aa ever in cities of thirty thousand or less in
habitants.
London has a smaller number of inhabi
tants to the house than any other of the
great European cities; and the population of
London being immensely - greater than that
of any other city, the area whloh it covers
is still greater in proportion. Vienna has
the largest number of persons to the house
having five times as many as London.
The reshipment ot cotton to this country
from Liverpool is one of the effects of the
successful manipulation of cotton for August
i delivery by powerful New York, speculators,
which has resulted In advancing the price of
the raw material to the highest point of the
year. Xne six nnnarea Dates or cetton sent
over here in . the steamer City of New
York was a part of the first extensive ship
ment returned to this oountry in many years.
Several thonsand bales are said to be on their
j way baok from England, and a larger quanti

here beoause these shipments are profitable
to foreigners at the disproportionately high

- The French system of railroad profit shar
ing was explained recently to the Senate
commission on labor and ; education, ' by
George May Powell, president of tha arbitra
tion oounoil. A modification of the French
system was adopted January 1, 1887, on the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan
railroad and on January 1, 1888, the road re
ported that the experiment had been finan
cially successful and that not a life of a pas
senger or employe had been lost.nor had any
serious aooident . occurred during the year.
Mr. Powell said there was "greater peace and
prosperity for railroad stockholders and em
ployes, and safety for passengers and freight
in transit, through wisely managed profit
sharing than without it." "
The Wendish nationality in Prussia and
Saxony is reported to be rapidly declining in

the lack of a sufficient number of Wendfch

been decided to disoonti'due the instruction!

The prohibitionists have reason to be an
noyed by the language used by Dr. Brooks,
their candidate for the vice presidency, at
Decatur, Illinois. The language has been
variously quoted, and with regard to one of
the forms reported Dr. Brooks has been per
suaded to say that' it is "a wilful and in
famous lie." The Chicago Inter-Ocean has
taken pains to sectrre a report of the exact
words which Dr. Brooks used, .according to
the sworn statement of three gentlemen who
were present - at the Deoacur meeting, and
the following is the language: "I have lived
in the South and owned slaves there. I sym
pathized with the South and prayed for the
success of the Confederate cause, .but my
prayers were not answered. I have been a
Democrat, bnt, thank God, I have never been
a Bepublican. I will never have that sin to
answer for." Dr. Brooks has not denied that
he need this form of words, though -he has
denied that he expressed the same sentiments
in another form.
Many women will be surprised to learn
that they have no right to take letters from
the possession of their husbands without
their knowledge and consent. But a Georgia
judge tells them that "they have not. A
Georgia woman suspected that her husband
was secretly corresponding with another wo
man. She quietly undertook to get hold of
some of the ardent missives and succeeded.
Thereupon she brought a suit for divorce and
proposed to use them to establish her case.
The husband, however, applied to the court
for an order restoring the documents to his
possession. In opposition to this it was ar
gued that husband and wife are one and
hence that a wife cannot legally steal from
her husband. The weakness of this argu
ment was that while the husband and wife
were one by the old common law that one
was invariably the husband. But this legal fic
tion of their being one has vanished since he

Some Oood Stories that Hsur Have Been
Told Before.
' From Chambers' Journal.1
None of ths professions seems mora de
voted to ready, wit than that of the law; and
judging from the following story this devot
ion is of- no recent origin. It is related that
on one occasion sir .Nicholas Bacon was
about to pass judgment upon a man who had
been guilty of robbery, at that time punish
able by death; but the culprit pleaded for
mercy on the ground that he-was related, to
the iudge. "How is that!" he was asked.
"My lord," was the reply, "your name is
Baoon, and mine is Hog, and hog and bacon
hare always been considered akin." 'That
is true," answered Sir Nicholas, "but as
hog Is not baoon Until it has hung, un
til you are hanged you are no relation of
mine."
Still more to the point is an anecdote told
lregarding two opposing barristers. The
awyer for the defense was so severe upon
the preseoutor that the latter rose and
asked: "Does the learned counsel think
a fool?" The retort was prompt.. "My
friend wishes to know if I consider him
a fool, and in reply to his question l can
tnly say that I am not prepared to deny
There are many Instances of passages of
arms between bench and bar, bnt this one
may be new to most of our readers. At the
close of a lengthened wrangle between a
judge and a prominent counsel, the former
said:, "Well, sir, if you do not know haw
to conduct yourself as a gentleman, I am
sure I can't teach you." To whioh the bar
rister mildly replied: "That is so, my lord."
parliamentary elections usually attord a
good field for tha exercise of wit. While a
noble lord was conducting his canvass, he
met a bully f who declared fiercely that he
would "sooner vote for the devil than for
him." "I've not the slight doubt of it, my
friend," said the candidate, quietly; but in
the event of your friend not coming forward,
may I count on your vote!" Here is another
of the same kind. At an .open political
meeting a man cried: "Hurrah for Jackson 1"
to which a bystander retorted: "Hurrah for
a jackass!" "All right, my man," exclaimed
the first speaker; "you can hurrah for your
favorite candidate, and I'll do the same for
mine."
An enviable quickness of repartee was
shown by a Frenoh actor when the head of a
goose was thrown upon the stage. Advanc
ing to the footlights, he said: "Gentlemen,
if anyone among you has lost his head I shall
be glad to restore it at the conclusion of the
niece." ' Beservedlv severe also waa tha
reply of Descartes to a nobleman, who. see-1
lug uc xie enjoyes (as pleasures ox tue same,
remarcea: "1 see, sir, that piulosopnen. can
sometimes indulge in goodoheer. ' ' Why not!"
asked Descartes. "Do you , really imagine
that Providence intended the good things
of this earth only for the foolish and- ignor
ant!" Of wit bordering on the malicious there
are many examples, and some of the repar
tees are tully deserved, while others are only
calculated to civspain. Among the latter is
one told at the expense of an elderly French
widow who had fallen in love with a voune
nobleman, whom, she was never tired of
praising to her frieds as "handsome aaoneof
Dumas' three musketeers." "Yes." said a
lady who heard her, and who was possibly
jealous, "he is the musketeer, and you are
twenty years after."
Much more merited than the above, prob
ably, was the answer given by Foots to a dis
sipated Duke who asked him In what new
character he should go to. a masquerade.
"Go sober!" ' A-"man about town" said to a
young lady: "No I'm not exactly engaged,
but l have the refusal of two or three girls."
He undoubtedly deserved the crushing re
joinder: "I suppose you mean you have
asked them and they have said 'No.'"
The Lord Provost of a certain well known
eity in the north had a daughter married to a
gentleman of the name of Bsird; and speak
ing of names to several friends, he happened
to remark: "My grandmother was a Hus
band and my mother a Man," these having
been the maiden names of the ladies.
Why, in that case," said the celebrated
Dr. Gregory, who was present, "we may
the less wonder at your daughter getting a
Baird."
Turning Lv3m expressed repartee we find
that there can be no less wit in the man
ner in which writers subscribe themselves.
For instance, we have it upon record, that,
when Glengarry claimed the ohiefcainship of
the Macdonald clan the generally acknowl
edged ohief wrote to him as follows:

During the last half of ths eighteenth cen
tury the governments of the day frequently
kept themselves in power by bribing and
corrupting Members of Parliament; and this
wss the case during the debates on the India
bill, when the opposition, led by Fox, found
its majorities steadily decreasing. . This, it
was known, was the work of the Secretary
of the Treasury, John Robinson, who used
both placea and money to carry out the min
isterial -policy; - One evening Sheridan,
speaking of the decrease, said: "This is not
to be wondered at Mr. Speaker,' when a mem
ber is employed to corrupt everybody to ob
tain votes." "Who is it! Name him, or
withdraw!" rose fiercely from all parts of
the House. Sheridan saw that he was in a
predioament, but he wss equal to the emer
gency. "Sir," he said, "it would be an un
pleasant and an invidious thing to name the
person, and therefore I shall not do it. But
don't suppose, sir, that- I refrain because
there is any difficulty in naming him I could
do that, sir, as soon aa you could, say Jack

JAPANESE BRIDE AND CiROO.TI.
Customs Which Differ Very 11 ueh from
Western Ones.
ITokto Letter in St. Loois Globe-Domocratl
Quite as interesting sa the scenery were
the movements of a bride and groom in the
same oar with us. We afterward learned
that he was a Nagoya youth who had gone to
Kiota and prospered in business, snd had
just been down to Nagoya to marry the
young girl ohosen by his parents and a go be
tween friend of the family. He was a raw,
callow youth in appearance, and spreading
his rug on the cushions, lay down at half
length and obliged the bride to sit bolt up
right in a small space.
'When he did sit up it was he who leaned
against the bride's shoulder, instead of rest
ing her head on his shoulder in true wedding
journey style. For the whole dsy that we
traveled together it was his oomfort and not
her'a that was considered. The groom hur
ried on board the steamer and into the next
train of oars, and helping himself to the onlv
remaining chair or seat, looked around onri
ously to see where she was going to sit. The
Dnae smnea sweetly ail the time ana did not
seem to think it at all out of the way for her
to do a cushion or footstool, or baggage por
ter for her lord.
She wore a dark striped silk kimono and
an ecrue obi, brocaded with pine needles in
black and gold. The Japanese reverse our
customs in traveling and wear their best
clothes when off on a journey, in-order, they
say, that their station may be known and
proper attention paid them. The bride's at
tention was much occupied with her new
gold ring, the wedding ring being a foreign
fashion that tbsy have taken up with enthu
siasm. The gold band on the finger is fast
replacing the shaved eyebrows and blackened
teeth "that used to distinguish the married
women, but they adhere to the change in
hair dressing and after marriage red is no
longer worn. The gray red crape petticoats
the red folds in the neck of the kimono and
the bits of red crape tied in the hair disap
pear on the wedding day, and the Japanese
have the bitter but sadly true maxim:
"Love files with the red petticoat." Any de
monstration of affection between a married
couple is not only considered bad form, but
most disgusting by the Japanese, and kisses
are unknown, except for babies. Men, or
rather lubberly schoolboys, and great, hulk
ing young soldiers are often seen in the street
holding hands, or with their arms around
each other's necks, bnt there are no senti
mental tableaux to be seen between maidens
and youths in the ideal lovers' lanes with
which this picturesque oountry is seamed.
VIRGINIA'S 0IS9IAL SWAMP.
X Remarkable Lake Lying; Almost on
the top or a Hill.
IFrom the Exohange.1
Ponder on this marvelous fact, says a cor
respondent: The lake of the. Dismal SwamP
in Virginia, three miles by two and a half
in extent and from seven to fifteen feet in
depth, is situated on the aide and- almost on
he top of a hill, and yet it creates by overflow
tall round it for about 1,000 square miles one
of 'the deneet and darkest morasses . on the
surface of the earth.
In 1763 3eorge Washington surveyed ths
Dismal Swamp, and discovered that the west
ern side was much higher than the eastern,
and that rivers ran out of the swamp, and
not into it. He then wrote that the swamp
wss "neither a plain nor hollow, but a hill
side." A member of the National Geologi
cal Survey recently entered -' the Dismal
Swamp, proceeding westward from the Dis
Swamp Canal toward the lake, and found
that the rise of the land was five and a half
feet in seven miles.
We met this gentleman, Mr Atkinson,
within the bounds of the swamp and on
hearing his statenent asked him, "Could
the lake be lowered and the swamp drained
with such an ineline!"
"Certalnly," he said. "It is very deoid
ed watershed. Bnt opening from the lake to
the tide, on the Elizabeth Biver on ona side
and the Pasquotank on the other, would have
a fall ot o-iu teet in a distance .of less
than fifteen miles.
