THE 0D SOUTH.
There may be a new South, but some of
the old southerners haven't heard of it.
General Pierce M. B. Young is one of them,
At a confederate reunion at Greenville,
South Carolina, the other day, he said among
other things:
People may make you believe that there is
a nsw South, but suoh is not the ease. There
may be s new ship, but the old osptain is on
the quarter deck and the old pilot at the
helm. Yon may talk about your new South,
but who is now the governor of the Old Do
minion bnt the splendid f its Hugh lee!
Who is the governor of South Carolina bnt
the chivalrous and patriotio Richardson!
Who is the governor of Georgia bnt the gal
lant, the devoted Gordon And who is gov
ernor of Missouri bnt the brave Marmaduke!
All of them are the comrades of the old
South. In commerce, too, we find, ths ez-
confderates at the head, Green, Alexander
and Logan being railroad magnates, and in
every other commercial industry we find vet
eran In the lead. In the Senate, among
others, we we find the gallant and magnit
oent Hampton, the chivalrous, glorious and
ezoellent Butler. In the House we have fify-
seven "rebel soldiers" of the 1S7 Demo
crats. la -the Senate, of ths thirty-five
Democrats twenty-two are "rebel soldiers,"
and confederate soldiers are now at ths helm
in State affairs and managing the aCairs for
the glory and perpetuity of the Union. . See
what we accomplish by tne united help or
only three northern states. We have elected
the n rat Democratic president la a quarter ol
century.
There are some other indication that ths
new South ha not yet been fully recognized.
One of these indications crops ont in Flor
ida, where Senator J. D. Cole, the Republi
can leader in Jefferson county, was ordered
to leave the oounty at onoe and atsy away
until after election, as he wonld not .be . per'
mitted to take any active part in local poll
tic. As the order was given by a large par
ty of armed men he obeyed It, and ths Dem
ocratio organ of the county, eaysr "The talk
of organizing the Republican party in this
county is a wild ohlmera. It eannot be
dons in ths face ef a compact, harmonious
Democracy," and further says thai "under all
the circumstances it is doubtful whether
Maior Cole oould be elected senator from
this cistriot, or oould take his seat if sleeted,
and therefore it is possibls thst he hat aban
doned all effort at organizing ths parir."
As long as these things continue there
will be reason why the Bepublioan party
should be returned to power. There are
many signs thst ths progrsss of ths nsw
South is not to be greatly helped under Dem.
ooratio rule.
. BDIISRIAL HOTBS.
The English Court of Appeals has decided
that relatives of a deadperson hays no right
to place flowers or other tokens on ths grave
exoept with the permission of ths cemetery
authorities.
The lying about the crops this year is worse
and more perplexing than usual. When they
are harvested we shsll know about them.
Until then the speculators will rain them -one
day and exaggerate them the next.
The people of Sabine pariah, Louisiana, ara
comfortable. They have paid off all the
mortgages on their farms. Ths last one
lifted a fortnight or so sgo. Sabine pariah is
a "white" parish snd its farmers have had
the sense to raise their own food supplies,
growing cotton only as a surplus crop,
A gentleman and lady now staying at a

A recent patent case whioh has come be
fore Congress calls attention to the aggravat
ing and dilatory procedure In our patent of
fice. Last September s Virginian applied to
ths office tot a patent on a cigarette machine,
bntit was June before ths patent was issued
him. In the meantime he had his invention
patented in several foreign countries, his for
eign patents ante-dating his American pat

vide that when a foreign patent antedates an
American patent ths latter shall expire at ths

would ba Issued simultaneously at home and
abroad, naturally seeks for a modification in
his case. And he ought to hare it.

make twelve speeches in all, bnt it is not his
purpose to make any long one. I doubt if
he talks over half an hoar at any time during

two reasons for this. One is thst he finds
his old throat trouble coming back to him

A report on the inquiry into the connec

have been obtained by the committee of 4,334
cases of deceased lives, aged 25 and upward,
In which the habits of the person in regard
to alcohol were recorded in five classes total
abstainers, habitually temperate, . careless
drinkers, free drinkers and decidedly intem
perate. The ages of death in each class show
an average ss follows: Total abstainers 51.22
years, habitually temperate oz.id, careless
drinkers 59.67, free drinkers 57.59, decidedly
intemperate 52.03. This makes the lowest
average duration of life that of the teetotaler
and. the highest thst of the moderate drinker,
his average being nearly eleven years longer.
The habltnal drunkard averages about a year
longer than the total abstainer. Another
table prepared by the oommittee,from which
all deaths nnder 30 were ezoluded, showed
the following durations of life: Total ab

careless drinkers 61.52, free drinkers 53.87,
decided intemperate 53.42, Omitting lives
under 40 years, the average age of death was:

From Traak LesUe's.1
The professor was happy at last. Aftsr
years of thonght, experiment and bitter dis
appointment he believed that he had finally
succeeded in perfecting his invention. He
had corns so very near success score of
times only to fail; bnt now he felt assured
that everything was complete and ths final
test was to be made.
This idea of the professor's was a curious
one, and hs had labored patiently over it for
years in secret, his faith In ultimate triumph
serving to carry him through his many dis
mal failures. The devioe, as I have said,
was a curious one. It was a contrivance
whioh, when placed in the hat of a man and
worn on his head, would indicate truthfully
that person's thoughts. It was a simple, in
offensive-looking article, closely resembling
a sheet of white paper, and so very innocent
was its appearance that it oould be plased in
the hat of even the most wary without crea
tine any suspioion. But this must necessari
ly bs done with caution, and when extracted
by tne lniuatea oniy oouia do read tne nier-
oglyphios on ths white sheet ths thoughts
of the wearer of. the hat. .
What advantage the realization of his Idea
would be to mankind in general the .professor
had not stopped to inquire. He had been
too much absorbed for that; bnt he was not
the kind of a man who would utilize his
newly acquired power to a neighbor's disad
vantags. He was too refined to bs indeli
eately inquisitive, and too indifferent to his
neighbors to sars much about them In any
way. is invention must Ba a success first.
snd afterward he might possibly stop to con
sider how it might benefit the human race.
XT U (Lti ... 11
finished, and he felt that he was about to be
successful, he was in a fever to experiment
on someone and yet he was loath to un
earth anyone's secrets.
The first person who occurred to him as a
convenient subject for experiment was
Adele, his nephew's daushter, who danced
and sang abont the honse from morning t'U
night like a veritable fairy. The professor's
spirits rose as he thonght of her and almost
instantly sank again. It would be so easy to
secrete the paper in her large garden hat.
where it lay on the table is the hall; but the
professor had qualms of conscience. Would
it be quite fair or honorable to read the in
nermost thoughts of a youne srirl just bloom
ing Into womanhood! - The professor had old
fashioned ideas of honor and delioacy where
women were concerned, and he decided that
it wonld not be right. Then there was thst
adorable woman Bertha, Adele's mother and
his nephew's wife, who had been driven from
her husband's side by his cruelty and brutal
ity (who looked searoely older than her tall
sixteen-year-old daughter), and had for five
years taken charge of the professor's house.
He would like well enough to know her se
cret thoughts on many subjects, himself In
cluded; but she was a woman, and he oould
not honorably pry into a woman's thoughts.
Clearly the professor was in a dilemma.
He must experiment upon some man, that
was certain; duc wnomi And when the man
was found there would be mere or less diffi
culty in secreting the paper in his hst snd in
getting it again - The prof essor had rived
tooTanch to himself, devotsd;, tot hUf'stndies
and experiments, and had gone so little into
society, that he was not learned in the arfof
mall talk and little subterfuges, neither had
he any acquaintance with the art known as
sleight-of-hand, a little knowledge of which
would have been of great advantage to him
just at present.
A man coming to the house to call and
plenty came, for although the professor' had
few visitors, Bertha had manv admirers ia
spite of her being neither a flirt nor a widqw
would of course leave his hat in the halL
It would be an easy thing for the professor
to pass through the hall and slip the paper in
the hat unobserved; but the difficulty would
be in getting it again, for the man would
naturally wear his hat home. The professor
feared it would be too long to wait until he
should call again; the impressions might be
blurred or worn off, for he was uncertain
how long they would remain; or the man
might disoover the paper and throw it away.
At the idea of such recklessness the profes
sor actually shuddered; but the shudder only
strengthened his resolve. The experiment
mast be made, and made it should be on the
very next man who called at the house.
The "very next man" proved to be an
old friend and classmate of the professor's,
one whom he had not seen for a long
time, but to whom he was deeply attached.
An opportunity offering, the paper was
slipped into his hat. The professor then
suggested a walk around the garden, as the
evening was warm, and his guest readily
absented. But once out "in the garden the
professor's nervousness and exoitement were
so great that conversation languished, and
oonsoious that he was not acting like him
self, he soon proposed that they should re
turn to the house. To this proposition his
guest responded with alacrity, and on en
tering the hall they both laid their hats on
the table. At that moment Bertha ap
peared, and the professor's friend turned to
her with relief, leaving the prafessor to re
turn to his study, where he sat listening at
the door, feeling as guilty as any thief.
The distant sound of their voices soon con
vinced him that it would be safe to ven
ture forth and take the paper from its hid
ing place, which he accordingly did, trem
bling with joy and expectation. Once more
in his study, he closed and locked the door,
and seating himself at the table he drew-the
shaded lamp toward him, and confident and
eager proceeded to decipher - the hieroglyph
ics on the white sheet. Yes! Me was right!
His invention was s success, but even at the
moment of triumph his face was clouded.
What did he read! A few thoughts con
cerning the learned subject they had been
disonBsing as they left the house for the gar
den, and then "What the deuce is the mat
ter with the man! He must be losing his
mind, for he grows queerer every time I see
him. Can it be that too much learning is
making him mad! Pshaw! In spite of his
learned reputation the man's whole brain
conld be packed in a nutshell. He has never
accomplished anything in the scientific
world and he never will. A plodder and as
dull as plodders always are. A certain
amount of intelligence, but learned in the
strict sense of the term pshaw!" And
more in the same strain.
The invention was a success; the professor
was convinced of that; but success had
brought a large amount of nnhappiness with
it. Here was his friend, the friend of h?s
youth and manhood, and one whom he ex
pected to be the friend of his old age, think
ing such thoughts as these of him and
speaking them too perhsps. It was a hard
blow, for under his commonplace aspect the
processor nad a warm heart, and he was loy
al and sincere to the core in spite of his ha
bitual seeming indifference. He is not old
either. Take off the near-sighted spectacles,
and trim the hair and beard, and he would
be a handsome man, and a young one too.
lie next experimented on a flippant young
man who had oii'y called at the house a few
times, and wai startled at the levity and
blackness of his Noughts. There was men
tion of horse n Ssa and betting, diamonds
and ballet girls, debts and cards all foreign
subjects to the professor, whose youth had
been one of hard study and self denial; and
even in his later years he had studied books
more than men and women so muclj more
had he studied books that his follow mortals
were almost entirely unknown- to him; snd
this man, this butterfly, this giddy, frivo
lous creature, was a terror.
Shortly afterward he heard the doctors
voice in the hail for an instant, and on look
ing, ont he saw that the hat was gone. He
closed his door carefully and sat down and
waited. A few minutes later both Bertha
and the doctor were in the hall together, and
then they went away again and he heard
their voioea on the piazza. He opened his
door stealthily and looked out into the hall.
The hat was there! He listened attentively,
then crept forward softly and seized It,
Ones more in hie study he closed and looked
the door, as he had done so many times. He
hastily crossed the large room, lighted only
by a student lamp, taking the paper from
the hat as he did so. The hat rolled un
heeded to the floor at his feet as he seated
himself snd leaned forward to read the pa
per. And this is what he read:
"Bertha! mr beloved, mv own I That accursed
husband of yours! To win you and cast roa aside!
Brute that he is! Oh, Bertha, my love! what is the
tie that hinds you to him! A frail link that could
easily be snappep asunder by your soft, white fin
ger. He scorns you and I Oh, heavens! Oae
smile from you. one touch of yeur hand, is more to
me than Ufa itself. My God 1 The thought of pos
sessing you makes my brain reel and ray body
tremble! You must give him up break entirely
with that cur who has driven you from him. Oh,
my love, come to me
The professor could read no more. Quiv
ering with rage he started up with a cry of
passion and anger.
"Curse him!" he muttered, grinding his
teeth. "To make love to Bertha under my
very eyes! A married woman; how dare he
love her! How dare he think of 'possessing'
her! 'A frail link to be snapped asunder!
The vile wretch, the serpent! But I have
found him out, thanks to my invention, and
he never darkens my doors again. Bertha to
be the prey of suoh a man as this! His very
presence in the house pollutes her!"
His foot touched something. It was the
hat, and he kicked it furiously all around the
room. As he reached again the circle of
light shed by the lamp, the hat, though by
this time badly battered, presented a some
what familiar appearance. He picked It np.
and examined it. The hat was his own and
he had been reading his own thought. He
remembered wearing it as he walked up and
down the hall, but how he had made the
mistake of plaoing the paper in his own hat
he could not explain.
'How long he eat asleep he never knew, but
he was roused by hearing footsteps on the
piazza just outside of his window, and ths
doctor's voice said: -
"And now that ne is dead, Bertha, my
love, you win let me tea you now muoh
love you! You will promise to be my wife,
darling!"
And Bertha s sweet voice answered, "Yea.

From the Spectator.
Christmas Island, a great rock in the Indi
an Ocean, which we have annexed during the
last ten days, cannot very well be reckoned
as a new jewel set in the crown of England,
be its strategio uses never so important.
The island consists largely of coral, covering
a volcanic core; but long exposure to winds
and waves baa so honevoombed it all over f
that locomotion is almost impossible. This,
however, will not deter the intending settler
half so muoh ss the fact that the rock
swarms with huge land crabs of a "bluish
yellow oolor, with large claws and outetart-
ing ejea most offensive to look at." Mr.
Rider Haggard has described the horrible
spectacle presented by these crabs in "Allan
Qaartermain." An even more gruesome ac
count of these appalling creatures met with
in another island is -to be fonnd in "The
Cruise of the Falcon," by Mr. Knight. He
tells us how, attracted by the smell of the
fish he and his companions were cooking, the
great staring eyed yellow crabs came slowly
trooping down in thousands upon his en
campment, and how, when pieces of meat
were thrown to' them, they ate them silently
and persistently, using their claws like forks,
but staring all the time with hideous protru-'
ding eyes straight out at the strangers who
had invaded their home. Unless Mr.
Knight's description does these yellow land
crabs a cruel injustice Christmas Island de
mands a body of Knight errants who shall at
once free England from the disgrace of own
ing such a nest of monsters.
A Hindoo TO adding-.
From the St. James Gazette.
A correspondent of "The Scotsman," wri
ting from Bombay, describes a Hindoo wed
ding at which he was present as being inter
esting not only as a ceremong, bnt as a spec
tacle. "The branohes of the trees in ths
garden were outlined with little lamps, and
a large pond in front of the honse was fcnnir
round very high up with flags between the
wreaths of which lamps were suspended.
From the -balcony of the house I saw ths
bridegroom arrive on a led horse, accompa
nied by many friends. He was dressed in
cloth of gold and wore a splendid hat, and
his richly caparisoned horse had wreaths of
yellow flowers placed at short distances
across its back' and hanging down to the
ground.. He dismonted at the entrance,
where his little bride met him and threw rioe
over her own and hia head as a symbol thst
she would oare for the wants of the house
hold. They went together into the house.
where the wedding guests were assembled,
and sat down on two red cushions facing
each other. A white cloth was held up in
front of his face, and she covered her face
with her sari, whilst a cord of yellow and
white worsted was then put round their '
necks, joining them together. A large piece
of muslin was then put round his neck and
held up close to her, and under this they
joined hands.- On leaving the house a bou
quet, on which attar of roses had been
poured, was presented to every guest, and
wreatns or nowers were nung round our
necks by our hosts." A cot ot red paint
seems to have been one of the "Dropertiea"
necessary at the wedding, and the veneration
in which the red paint was held was exem
plified by a fact narrated by the correspon
dent. When telegraph posts were first set
np in some remote parts of India the gentle
Hindoo was wont to cut the same down for -firewood.
A young engineer, who had
studied the aboriginal oharacter, painted the
posts red, whereupon the natives worshipped
the posts and ceased to carry them away as
burnt offerings.
