Beginning next Sundsy the Esprets

articles are written especially for a syndicate of newspaper?, of which the Ex

The summer casualties that result froai boating and bathing are tame in comparison to those occasioned in tbe winter by coasting.

There is a decided disposition to sneer at the stories of George W. Childs' libera'ity, if not to diabtlieve thera.

At the iirz-e of the passage of the reso lution granting the city printing to the Gazette, the Express was informed by a reliable gentlemen, and a Democrat, that the resolution was in the hand writing of one of the editors of the Gazette. Since the Gazette denies that it was a party to the transaction, the Express will accept its statement as true. Bat it w?s noticeable at the time that the Gazette made no objection to an act that did not increaee its revenues, and at the same time deprived all the other city papers of city natronaee.

The National Ksview is only clothing an old saying in modern language when it asserts that there is no middle ground between the parties that a man, if he have any political convictions at al, oust be either a Republican or a Demo* era*. The dilettanteism of the Mug' vrump is not confiaed to his politics. In religion he is equally apologetic in his views concerning the Almighty, bat also holding io the opinion that "he is not 6o devil as he is black," to quote from "English as she spoke." In literature he finds solace in the con-committal, and his newspaper is one which iterates and reiterates that it is not an organ, while the proprietors pocket the fat perquisites of their "independence." It is refreshing to reflect however, that the time will come, in the next world, if not in this, when they will be hauled UQ and made to define their position for all eternity. For it is reasonable to believp that there can be no Mugwumps in the hereafter, and that they must array themselves either on the right hand or the left. The Mugwump, proper, there, is an etherial creature, that lives iis brief life and shrivel* all up into a crinkled wad.

Said a prominent Brooklyn police official: "I have long contended that a home should be provided for ex-convicts, where they could go when released and rn &o honest living. Such a home could be established on the outskirts of Brooklyn, New York or any other large city. The men, and in fact ths women, could be employed in manufacturing industries, and thus be free from the blackmail levied by tbeir fellow-convicts. "How blackmail?" the reporter asked. "I will tell you. Convicted felons desiring to reform often travel many mileB from the scenes of their crimes. They are unable to ob'ain work unless they suppress the fact that they havebsen in prison. I know many instances in which convicts, having tetil-d in some Western city where they were leading an honest life, havebe»n tracked and exposed by fellow-convicts.

LINCOLN'S DECISION.

A Commtsnlonur of ARticuHaro Who Could Not Spell Sagar. Boston Record. "I was one of the senators," said a venerable Republican statesman the other day, "who favored the re-election of President Lincclu when that W88 a debatable question. I lemember that one of the points they made against Lincoln was that he had appointed 'an ignoramus' commissioner of agriculture. That gentleman's name, you may remember. was Isaac Newton, and I tniok he was from Philadelphia. The gravtesi of tbe charge brought against him was that he could not spe'l. "The opposition had got hold, io some way, of oue of the note-books, in which, among other ludicrous mistakes, was the word 'sugar' spelled 'shooygar.' Armtd

And hen with this note-book a committee of senators wait on President Lincoln, and demanded the removal of Newton.

Whether he was removed or not, they were going to spring the Newtonian spelling on the woild at ths first convenient opportunity.- But they thought it only fair to give the president a chance to remove him first. So up to the Whi House they went. "When they came back I asked the chairman, a distinguished New Eaglapd senator, what had occurred. 'Weli, sir,' said he, 'Lincoln is no better thdn New toa. Would you believe- it, when I showed him that wretched spelling of the word sugar he said: 'Well, I'm not sure but that's right. Sugar spells shoogar—thoggur spells just what it says and what wo all know it. is. l'"'t whether that's right or wrong, aemlemen, is neither here nor there. I didn't appoint Newton, snd therefore I can't remove him. Mrs. Lincoln appointed him. She has the sole power of removal in his case. You may go to see her, if you please, and, if she removes him, re move him it shall b?, but as long as be continues to send her ftesh butter and vegetables, and strawberries out of season, I don't think she will remove him.'"

Good Breeding.

Peru Bepublioan. «*-.»-... That quality called good breeding which formerly was considered a passport into the best society and an essential element in every child's training, is fall ing into di«use." Tho motals and mincers of children are not patterned after the highest type of civilisation. Coarseness, loud taik and absence of polite attention to eld rly people char acterise the boya and girls of today. That deference dne to paTVLts ia obsolete or rapidly falling Into obsolescence. What is the cause of

it? Is it the result of tho promi«uoOs mingling of tb.e good, bad and indifferent in the pablis schools? Ar(f tbe well born children taking on the habits Of the vicious and sinking to a lower plane of mor-ls and manners? If so, we may well inquire what will it profit a child if be gain all ths knowledge of the school? and lose that which should be the chief ornament of youth, a gentle disposition, kind, pore heart and a respectful demeanor.

INDIANA SCIENTISTS.

Annul Meeting at IadltnajioUs—Dr. Brideshdl'i Addttat. The Indiana Academy of Science is in swion at Indianapolis. Although the society is only a year old it includes many of the leading scientific educators of the state. Tbe new members admitted Wednesday were: T. C. Mendenhall, William Ames, H. W. Wiley, T. C. Van Nuys, A. B. Woodford, B. F. Hight, C. R. Bares, M. E. Stevens, W. A. Noves, E. S. Cobb, W. V. Brown, J. H. Means, Joseph Swain, C. H. Bollman, J. N. Rose, F. L. Moras, 1. E. Jessup, B. W. Johnson, W. W. Byers, O. W. Licy, P. H. Kursh.

At Wednesday's session Professor T. C. Mendenhall, of ths Rose Polytechnic Institute, spoke of the value tbe results of the recent geodetic survey will be to more accurate barometric reMings. Now no certainty can be attached to barometric readings, unless they are compared with the son-level depressions. An ele vation of a very few feet will nake a great difference. The survey will obliterate errors in this regard that have been troublesome to barometric conclusions at Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis. Professor Mendenhall then addressed the academy on the advance* ment the science of seismology had made within the past ten or fifteen years. It has gone ahead wi'h a rapidity not known to other sciences. Earthquakes wtre first thought to belong solely to geology, but it soon appeared that physics and astronomy also had an interest in the training of the yong seismology. Among the earliest phenomena that attracted the attention of man were earthquakes, and yet knowledge of them has been acquired in late years so rapidly that Mallet's work, the first devoted to seismology, although comparatively young, is no« useless, but his wonderful eatslogue of earthquakes is invaluable. The profes sor attributed this advancement to the opening of new area3 for the study of the phenomena. Parts of the gl-.be frequented by earthquakes are notiuhabit-d by. Anglo Sixons nor other races who study the tciencea. But eastern coun tries," where earthquakes^ come so often that there are doubts if those parts of the earth are ever at rest, have become seismolog ical laboratories. Japan is continually trembling and there, as one of the result-t of her late-day civilization, seismolog? has become a study of the. native ^scientist. Tne university of that empire has its department for tho young science and a professor of earthquakes at its head. Another cause for ihia advancement has been the general improvement in phvsic.l processes, and the third an improvement in apparatus. Mallet's use of cylindrical pillars gives no accurate resul'8 for detecting the direction or force of the earth's vibrations. Nor does the pendulum, but that instrument known as the horizontal pendulum ia of great Hssistance. The idea of investigation must be fixed as to space, not as to the earth. By the seismograph, which be described at length, a complete record of earth wavrs can be obtained. The fist seismoscope ever placed in this country was at the polytechnic at Terre Haute. There is but one other in tha. United States, and that is at Washing ton. It is the purpose of the geodetic survey to place them in Indiaua and New England. It is not, the professor said, the amount of motion, but the acceleration of tbe earthquake that causes the damage. He called attention to a letter from Captain Dutton in regard to the meager repor from Indiana and Illinois regarding thn great seisaoic dis turbance of Ausust 31. Tbe professor asked that reports of its intscsitj be sent to him, these to be made up from the best possible sources of information.

The Falls of Minnehaha. New Yi rk 8on. Pretty little falls of Minnehaha, immortal in the rhythm of Longfellow's "Hiawatha," have of late years lost much of their natnral beauty by the defiling proximity of beer saloons, poo corn and peanut stands, to say nothing of the enterprising tintype man, whose car, like Juggernaut, takes life and beauty out of al that lies in its path. But the classic spot is to be saved from sacrifice. Mr. Gilfillan, of Minneeota, has in troduced a bill authorizing the cession of two hundred acres to the Fort Snelling Military Reservation to be used as a site for a State Soldiers' Home, and it is the intention, if the bill becomes a law, to select the two hundred acres at the northeast cornrr of the reservation, where the falls are.

The Minnesota legislature will this winter, if the site is secured, make an appropriation for buildings, and, if necessary, for the purchase of additional ground, so as to include all of the beautiful little landscape within the limit** of the home. With the 1 ibor of fhe veterans it ia expected to move off the photographers and saloons and reclaim the snot to something of its aboriginal beauty.

Good Clothes for Chicago. Albany Journal. The most brilliant costume Chicago has seen this winter was that worn by Mrs. Charles J. Barnes at her reception on Tuesday evening. It was a Worth costume of light olive greeti velvet. The titblier was fashioned from an old Spanish altar clotb. The embroidery, upon a mellow ground of creamy white was in bullion and a bouquet ot colors.^ This has been slashed up and fitted in with arrangements of wbitt lace over gold lace, and the whole built up from a deli.-ate foundation of pink. A portion of the altar cloth had been inserted into the bodice and the lace about the top of the bodice was cummirgled in the same manner as that of tbe skirt. The hair was dressed with light blue plumes and diamonds. Diamonds on the neck and arms and in the cars, and a bouquet of La France roses completed the mosaic of color formed by this artistic toilet. j--- -*4* •, rf A Handsome Present.

LAMAR'S MARRIAGE

th» givty of ma lov-A ImAj Who Oaea Blasted Him. WASHINGTON, December 30—Secretary Lamar, it is generally believed, will be married to Mrs. Holt, at Macon, »a., to-day. The story connected wiih tbe secretary and tbe lady is quite an int»r-! esting one. He was born near Eitonton, in Putnam county. She was bom in Bibb' county, about twelve miles from Macon. He was a handsome, manly you eg fel low when he first met Mrs. Holt, and sbe was the belle of Georgia. He was iafatuated with her* charms. She heard: him deliver an eloquent speech in a debating s:ciety while fhe was 'visiting: friends in Eatoctou, snd fell in lovej with his intellect. They were iotro-i dnced to each other by the late W. H. Sparks a prominent man of letters of Georgia. Their acquaistanc* soon ripened into love, and they became engaged. Tradition has it that they wcuid have been married within eix months after their engagement had il not beer, for the interference of a yonug railroad clerk named Holt. Young Holt's parents lived near the parents of the secretary's lady love. Oa a visit home young Holt met her at a Sunday school picnic. He was at that time clerk in the office of the Southwestern railroad. He instantly succumbed to her charms, and at the first opportunity made hot love to her. She repulsed him, informing him that she was engaged to another. "Who is the man?" asked young Holt. "Mr. L. Q. C. Lamar, of the county of

Putnam," she replied, in the precise and formal language of tbe time. What?" exclaimtd young Holt, who hal met the secretary while visiting his cousin, Colonel Pulaski Holt, at Eitonton "are you engaged to that blackfaced, longhaired Lamar? I am shocked at your taste."

The ltdy was offended, but the persistent gallantry of young Holt eventually won her over. She accepted the most devoted attentions from aim, and, as subsequent events proved, learned to love him.

The secretary was informed of young Holt's attentions to his sweetheart, and he became very angry. He wrote her a bitter letter, suggesting tint it would be well for her to marry the pert railroad clerk. Her pride was wouuded, and she replied that she would rather marry a railroad clerk than matq with a wan whose hair was as long as a woman's. The result was the breaking of the engagement.

About a year after young Holt married the lady snd took her to his humble apartments in this city. As ye rs passed he was promoted, fiaally being elected president of the Southwestern railroad aud also of its bauk. He wade money rapidly and invested it carefully. At the beg-nning of the war he wr.s worth nearly $1,000,000. When tha war closed he still had a large property

He joined Senator Joxeph E. Brown in leasing the Western «& Atlantic ra lroad, a line built and still owned by the s'ate. This venture proved wonderfully remunerative. It enriched him as well es the other lessees. Youog Holt served in the state militia during the war, and was commissioned general by Senator Brown, who was at that time governor. Three children were born to him and his wife, two daughters and a son, the latter dy ii about 1873. The older daughter married Mr. W. H. Virgin, a wealthy patent medicine proprietor of this ciiy, and the other married Captain E Park, a well-known land owner and capitalist, also of this city. General Hult died very suddenly a few years sgo, while on a visit to Saratoga.

Although middle-aged when left a widow, Mrs. Holt Was still a beautiful woman. About a year ago, while visiting Washington, she met the secretary, who had not! nj before lest bis wife. The old acquaintance was renewed not only this, but tho love each had felt for the other in youth was also renewed. Last summer the secretary came to Macon and asked Mrs. licit to marry him. She consented and they would have been married last fall had it not been for an uniooked-for ob tacle. The daughters ohjt-cted. It is said ihey had no objection to the secretary, but they did not wish their mother to marry anybody. They did not wish her to change her name, the Holts being noted people in this state.

She yielded the opposition, and told the secretary that she could net marry him. He returned to Washington much disappointed. The secretary's present visit to Macon is due to a letter he received two weeks ago. It was from Mrs. Holt, and informed him that the objt-e lions of the daughters might be removed.

For cleansing and healing foul Bnd indolent uicers, sores and abscesses and removing the bad odsrs arising therefrom, and for slaugbiog, contused and lacerated wounds, Darbys Prophylactic Fluid is unequalled "I have used Darbys Prophylactic Fluid in hospital snd private practice for ten ears and know of nothing better for sloughing, contused and lacerated wounds, foul and indolent ulcers and as a disinfectant."—J. F. Heastis, Professor Mobile Med. College.

The report of tbe dangerous i'lnsss in San Francisco of Justice Woods, of the United States supreme court, is discredited in Washington, as he is said to be improving.
