If there is any earthly pleasure that is not mixed with pain, I don't, know it. The young people had just as well et reconciled to it in advance and prepare for it. I don't mean pain of body alto gether, but disappointment and pain of heart. I was thinking about this when I fav in the papers that one of our grandchildren had fnbn tliH urize at a baby showJ at the Rome fair. I knew that the mother of that boy was proud, and I could see her calm and ditrniiied satisfaction as she mea ndered around her home and looked upon her boy ; and I could almost hear her, thoughts as she said to herself : 'Why, of course he took the prize how could he help it ? the lit tle darling ! There were some mighty sweet babies amomt those twenty five some splen did babies but I knew all the time that if those judges had' good sense my boy wouM take the premium, and it would have been the same thing if there had been a thousand babies ;' and she carried herself around with a queenly dignity that was highly becoming to maternal pride. ' "' ' . i But by and by the reaction came. She heard that one dis appointed mother said : 'Well, those judges didn't kuow a thing about babies. - They are all' business men and hardly know their om children when they meet them on the street. The judges ought to have been women mothers, who can tell the difference between one baby and another.' And another mother said : 'Well, for the life of me, I couldn't see what there was in that little monkey' faced child. '- There was a dozen ba bies I would have selected be fore I would have ever noticed him.' And what was worst of all she got an anonymous letter that said:' 'If some of the judges hadn't been akin to you, your child wouldn't have stood a ghost of a chance,' and a good deal more of aggravating stuff. Well, there was no limit to her indignation. She said : 'It is just outrageous. I wish I had never sent my boy to that fair. I didn't want to do it no how; but the nurse wanted to go. I never had him entered, but the nurse . was walking around, and they saw they djd not have but twenty-four and Wanted one more. I never thought about a prize, but the Judges took the little darling in their arms and he was so happy and crowed at them and pulled their beards and laughed so loud that they fell in love with him; but I'm going to send that money.back I won't keep a dollar of V Wellj there is something in what one of those disappointed mothers said. " Women -are the best judges of children .-especially of babies. If a man holds out his arms to a little childj and it goes to him and laughs and claws his whiskers, be. feels flattered. He thinks he must have a kind, attractive face, and the child is smart enough to , know it. . I never did like a child that wouldn't come to me. It is a reflection on my physi . ognomy ; and so I reckon that was the secret of our little pos terity getting the premium. But the joke of it is, that the next day a prize was offered to the ugliest baby, and the one who like to hive got the prize on the first day for being the prettiest, was dressed up in old clothes an! presented with a dirty face and tangled hair, and took the premium without any trouble. So there was a good deal in the clothes in the way they are nxed up. Iwen Ho.well wrote to me and congratulated me and Mrs. Arp about the pre mium, and said he knew the stock on both sides and wasn't surprised at all. Well, I be lieve there is something in' stock in bl'ood as much in human folks as in horses or cows or dogs. My father was splendid stock. He worked hard when he was a boy, and hired out and laid stone walls, and shipped as a sailor to Sa vannah and got shipwrecked, and then went to teaching school and had to study hard at n'ut to keep ahead of his scholars. Yes, he was good owe. my- wiie s stoca was pretty good, too, considering that her ancestors were Irish and went to Congress : but still 4 1 1 i . . , -. - iuey naa gooa Diooa ana were game to the backbone. I have known for forty years that Mrs Arp came from game and blooded stock ; my goodness, what a soldier she would have made! And then there Is the other Bide of that prize baby's ancestors. The Sparks stock came all the way down fiom the man who wrote the life of Washington, and the Lintons went to school with 4 me and beat all the boys : at town ball, and bull pen, and cat ; and so I know they were good stock. But . the main question is what will that baby boy be about twenty years from now? I do hopehe will never find out that he took a prize, for it may affect him like takingi the first honor sometimes affects a col lege boy. 'Well,' said; I to Mrs. Arp, 'these infantile, exploits don't amount to much J If there had been any fair when I was a child maybe I would have car ried off t blue ribbon, and I am sura you would ; but what is better, I waited twenty years later and then took a prize as is a prize, and you came! out sec ond best yourself. I think you did most as werra'sjl did. I looked towards hev for some approval ; but she just remark ed that the fire was getting low and I had better go after a hod of coal. . , ' These fairs are a good sign. They are taking the'South all over, from Virginia to Texas, The Rome Fair was a big success every way. 4 My folks weut over there and, stayed a whole week, and are I not dene talking about it yet. ; Mrs. , Arp saw all her old friends and they made her happy; and she saw the races which are her delight, for she used to be as much at home on a horse as on the ground, and j a good deal happier. By the time she was in her teens she was riding to the plantation, twelve miles and back again . in a day; and she looked just like a little Indian maiden, with her long black Pocahontas hair falling down to her slender; waist. A good lady rider on -ia graceful horse is a queenly signt, any how, and I reckon that is the way she caught me But her haiir is not so long j now, her waist so slender, and she don t ride auy to speak of.; She took three of the children with her to Rome aid left me and two toya alone all alone for a whole week. We got along pretty well in the day time, but at night! .the house seemed. liKe it was! haunted, the clock ticked loud and solemn. The window spsh rattled like Jhere were ghosts about. We couldn't: find any thing when we wanted it, not even the matches, and I had to sew up a clean shipt that was split in the bosomj But we cleaned up the yard and painted the well house and builla woodshed and began to dig a pit for the flowers.

When people are ' prosperous thev have fairs. It has been so in all ages. The South is look ing up. She has at last got something to show and is proud. I am goihgV to Missis sippi and Arkansas; to attend some fairs, and General Gordon and Gtady and some other notables are going! to Texas, and from there theyi are goiug to St. Louis and Indianapolis to see to to it that ? there is no frauds in tne presidential elec tion.

A writer in the Washington Post gives an account of a recent interview of a most remarkable character with Edison, the in ventor. In this interview Edi son is made to describe a new machine which he calls the nu tricator. This machine, the writer says, has accomplished the problem of combining the natnfal elements so as to man ufacture wholesome food. Edi son is made to say in this in terview : "In ten years my machines will bemsed to provide the ta bles of the civilized world. Meat will be no longer killed and vegetables no longer grown, except by savages, for my methods will be so much cheap er." Mr. Edison then exnibited samples of food which he said lie had made from dirt in his cellar and from water taken from the water pipes in the house. The writer says : "He led me down a pair of stairs into a light basement room, where a swarthy looking man was busy about a big ma chine, an iroa vessel holding about a barrel, attached to something that looked like a hydraulic ram. The shelves were lined with chemicals and there was a small battery in the corner, from which one wire went to the vat. A kerosene lamp burned undea a sort of re tort. That and: four crooked pipes, with handles, were all that was visible. "How is it now ?" said Edison "About 53," repuea tne man. That was all. We returned to the room above. "I shall sim plif y that machine one half," he remarked. "let with that can turn out at least five tons of food of various kinds every day I have already made eighteen kinds of food. I will tell you something if you will not say a word till I say 'go ahead.' All food comes, of course, primari ly, from the earth. The plants and fruits we eat comes from the moist gTound; and the ani mals we eat live on the plants, or on other animals which the plants have kept alive. So all food comes trom the elements j stored in the earth, air and wa-1 ter. You eat a grain of wheat, for instance. The wheat is mainly composed of a few gases and salts: that last year were lying dormant in the earth, the air and the water. "It occurred to me that this process might be hastened ; that instead of waiting a year fot nature to collect ; those ele ments into an organic seed I could collect them in an hour, or perhaps a few minutes, and arrive at the same result by organically. I first find out what a particular kind of food is made of. There are six ty five simple substances in na ture ; that is, substances which we call simple elements, be cause we have not yet succeed ed in proving them to be com pound. I am afraid your read ers will not generally .under stand what I am going to say. If you use it, be careful to take it down verbatim. "There are sixtv-five elements Carbon Is the king of thes. It is the great organizer. It is never absent from any plant or animal organism. It is at the base of almost everything. It is the key to my discovery, for it possesses the peculiar capaci ty to form molecules from its own atoms. The diamond is pure carbon, so are graphite ! and charcoal nearly pure car bon, though they are so differ ent. Sugar and starch belong to the hydrocarbons, and I can not understand why their man- facture of eaith and water hasn't been hit on before. I form all my meat compounds by exposing three elements in a red hot state to nitrogen gas, though I use different flavors, which I get from the earth, too. I have had to bring from West chester County some argil laceous soil not found here. "I can make a wine, and have made it, withNew Jersey earth and water that no man can tell from Chateau Yquem. I find that these elements com bine at the lowest temperature that have the same atomicity that is, the same bonds by which iney unite witn pne anotner pr with conpound molecules. The great invention has not "been chemistry has received too mueh attention to the exclusion of synthetic chemistry ; men have been more devoted ; to learning than to doing. ".Lavois ier was just on the. edge of it and missed. Sir Humphrey uavy, Liiebig ana i araay were all in sight of it and suddenly turned, aside. They succeeded in making urea out of the ele ments and several other ignor- ganic substances, but they stopped at that. They over looked the simplicity of this thing. - - "I. think that after some yeari New Yorkers, for instance, win no longer eat meat or veg etables, j , "They will not send to the tropica for fruits or to Europe for wines, because the head of every .family, by turning a crank (or, perhaps without turning a crank, if a clock ap paratus is attached), can pro duce more delicious fruits and wines at a tenth of the cost. "The extraordinary analogy homologous groups of organic compounds and certain small groups of the elements, as chlorine, bromine and iodine, have been remarked by many chemists. Not only isolated triads, but all the elements, may be brought into such homologous series expressed by the general formula of AxNb. However, this is beyond the average reader and will hardly be intelligible. "No change of food is con templated. Every man can have food in the kind of which he is accustomed, or which he prefers. It will be cabbages and oranges that have never felt the wind and rain, and pork and partridges that have never been alive. Wre merely take a short cut, and snatch the food from the earth without giving it the trouble of grow ing. It will lack fiber, which is the only perceptible difference. "The equivalent value of an element is now measured by number of atoms of a mona- tomic or equivalent with which it will combine. It is known, for instance, that chloride com bines with one atom of hydro gen, oxygen with four, and so on. I have struck some eston ishiag examples of allatraphistn that is, the production of en tirely dissimilar compounds from nearly similar elements. Nature is full of supriaes. For instance I make bananas and chocolate out of the very same ingredients and the methods of combining differs only a trifle. AFTER THE FIGHT. THOUGHTS THA T (JO ME. AF TER THE COXTEST.

The co itest was made on that issue and the verdict was as might have been expected in favor of the pres ent system.

We say of course it will, becau&e the orators of that party have so often nroclaimea tneir in tention of dying so. The of ficers connectea witn tne sys tem will not influence them at all, everybody knows (?) Once upon a time, there was a little boy, and a little girl, who was his sister. Their de votion to each other waa won derful, each .sharing the joys and sorrows of the other. Like all other children thev asked many questions, and when they were alone, were' always wondering why things were so. They wondered at the beauti ful clear sky that smiled down upon them. They wondered where the gentle rivers went, on whose backs they gamboled. Indeed they lived as it were, in wondei-laud. As they came home in the twilight they would talk to each, little star, as It peeped timidly out to see if all was ready for its coming. They wondered if all things would be sorry if they were to dia. "Surely they would," they said, for the buds are the chil dren of flowers : the waves are the children of the sea ; the lit tle rills that flow on with their merry ripple, are the children of the rivers, and tb little twinkling stars are the chil dren of the blue sky. Now If we, the children of uia were tw die, surely all these other chil dren would miss us." Among all the stars, one brighter than the others was a favorite of the two little children. At night they would stand at the win dow, and watch it as it shone down on the old church and they would pay, "God bles- the .star," and then would bid It good-night. By and by there rame a time when the boy tood at the window alone, for his little sister was lying on her death-bed. He would turn to the pale, patient face and togeth er they would say, "'od bless the ttar." One nii.. i.e looked out at if weeping, for it was shedding its pure light down on a newly made grave. Then he dreamed that on the rays that came to him through his star, he saw angels d cending from the open star, and bearing his little sister up to the world of light. He wanted to follow, but the angel 6aid, "Not yet," and he woke to find the star shining. After this, he would think of. the star as his future home where he would meet his sister. Soon a little babe was born to gladden the heart of the sorrow ciiiid, but it, too, left this- world for one of purer light. Then the etars opened again, and the angels descended as before, and he heard the voice of his sister's angel pay, Is it my brother," and they aid, "not he, but another bro ther," ai'd he cried, "Here I am sister, take me." Then awak ening he taw the stars shining. hen the boy grew to man hood, he was sitting over his books one day, and a messenger came saying, "lour mother is no more. I come to bring her blessing on her darling boy." Again that night the star open ed, and he saw the company of angels coming ' to bear the mother to her two children.
