Some men seem to be born tohav their plans upset. Judge Brown, of Michigan, had just planned a win ter's sojourn for himself and wife in Cuba, when along came the an nouncement that he had - been ap pointed to the U. S. Supreme Court bench. As he was afraid he might hurt somebody's feelings if he de clined, and as he couldn't carry the Supreme Court bench with him he had to forego his Cuban trip.

The Savannah News publishes a re port made to itfr City Council on the cost of constructing the Hering system of house drainage for that city, which, in view of the fact that the city of Wil mington is now negotiating with Mr. Hering for a similar system, is of great interest here. The entire cost of drain ing the city of Savannah by the Her ring system is estimated at $200,000, of which $133,000 is to be paid by the city and $71,000 by assessment on lot owners. Under the plan the city is laid off into eight sections. The estimated number of house connections in the eight sec tions, allowing two to every thirty feet, will be about 6,074. The report continues: According to the estimates made by Mr. Curtis, the average cost for each 30 foot Jot owner in putting down the flushed system, as designed by Mr. Hering. will be about $12. When it is remembered that a year or so ago the lot owner was charged $14 for a permit alone it will be seen how great a differ ence will exist when he is given a flush ed sewer, which the city will keep clean without further expense to himself, and upon the cleanliness and safety of which he can rely without doubt, and all this for not only less than the cost of a permit, but for very much less than his average cost of cleaning the present toul, choked and unflushed pipes; and it would 6eem that lot owners should joyfully welcome the change. The present average cost of sewer connection exceeds $50, often running up into hundreds of dollars, and yet the work done at such enormous ex pense is known to be as unsanitary as it is expensive. To put down 4,000 more house connections in the present way would cost the lot owners alone over $200,000 at least, and very probably ex ceeding $300,000 and all would he of ir regular grade and without flushes. And, in addition to this, the city would have to make necessary changes in and addi tions to the existing system of storm water sewers, probably costing $250,000 to $500,000 more. So that is clear that to provide a complete system of flushed house drains for the people of this en tire city will searcely take one-third the sum requisite for the extension of the irregular and dangerous system now in use.

Star TOBACCO TAX REBATE. To Go Into. Effect January 1st, 1891 Sow Claims Can be Collected. The act of Congress of December 15, 1890, allowing a rebate upon all manu factured tobacco held in stock January 1, :1891,4s of great importance to deal ers in tobacco. Commissioner Jno. W. Mason has is sued a circular in regard to the matter, in which he says: 1. Blank claims will be sent to all In ternal Revenue Collectors, and distrib uted immediately to all probable claim ants, who should make early application for them. 2. The rebate equals 2 cents per pound, and as no claim or less amount than $5 will be valid, all dealers and manufac turers whose stock of unbroken stamp ed packages is less than 250 pounds will be excluded. 3. Goods in transit January 1st will be inventoried at the first opportunity, and the rebate will be made to the person who was the actual owner , on January 1st, if he is a manufacturer or dealer. 4. All claims must be filed with Col lectors on or before March 2d, 1891. 5. The serial numbers of the number ed stamps must be given in all cases. 6. Inventories should be taken on January 1st, in presence of two witness es, who must make oath oq, the same. The blank forms will contain full in structions. 7. Stamps bought at the 8 cent rate and unused will be exchanged, or re deemed at the Treasury Department. 8. Manufacturers may have payment of their claims in stamps if desired. 9. The inventory must include noth ing but goods that were on hand at the beginning of Jan. 1, and if goods are added to stock during the day, the wit nesses must see that they are excluded from the inventory. ; Such goods, if they had been in . tran sit, may be embraced in a separate blank prepared for that purpose. 10. Commission merchants may make separate inventories for each owner of goods in their stock and present the claims for and in the names of the sev eral owners. 11. The term "original and unbroken factory packages" is held to mean packages, so that a package of smoking tobacco containing one ounce, if it bears a stamp, is to be regarded as an original factory package. A NEW MAGAZINE-A WOMAN'S PLUCK. The Phonogram is, the name of a handsome magazine that has just been issued as the official organ of the Pho nograph companies of the United States, and is, therefore, devoted to all interests connected with the recording of sound, the reproduction and preservation of speech, the telephone, type-writer and the progress of electricity. - That it has begun under splendid aus pices is indicated by original papers among its happily diversified contents, from the pens of Thomas A. Edison, the great wizard himself, Julia Hawthorne, the well-known author, and the versatile Col. R. G. Ingersoll, who, by the way, writes a sad lament because we did not have a phonograph in the Garden of Eden to listen to the voice of the ser pent, and for the same reason we can not hear Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, and the voice of- Balaam's ass. The magazine is edited and pub lished by V. H. McRae, Pulitzer Build ing, New York. The subscription price is $1.00 a year, and single copies ten cents. Aside from the general interest which the public may feel in the subjects above referred to, it is worthy of note that V. H. McRae is the name of a lady one of the group of the world's workers who are demontrating by their success the capacity of woman to undertake the grave affairs of life not entirely con nected with mere domestic economy. A brief sketch of the business career of this young lady will serve to illustrate what may be accomplished by sheer pluck under adverse circumstances. Miss McRae is the daughter of the late Col. D. K. McRae, of Wilmington, one of the most distinguished public men of North Carolina. Like her grandfather, he was on one occasion a candidate for Governor of his State, and before the war h was the Consul Gen eral of the Unfted States to France. During the war he was first Colonel of the Fifth N. C. Infantry, and later, the representative of the Confederate Gov ernment to London. As was the case with most Southerners, the end of the struggle found his fortune gone and a family dependent upon him for support. Under these circumstances.Miss Virginia as soon as she became old enough, having received an admirable education.joined a sister in New York and learned the art of typewritint. In a little while she or ganized a bureau of her own and for several years much of the legal work of the prominent lawyers passed through the hands of her assistants. As a result of this success, she wa. enabled to pur chase a handsome brown-stone residence in Brooklyn. With the developmenfof the phono graph she saw a new field for the exer cise of her industry, and entering it, has become one of its most active workers. Realizing that the introduction of the useful little instrument would be follow ed by a general interest in all matters pertaining to electricity, the telephone and type-writer, and that in time it would take the place of the secretary and pri vate stenographer, she has begun the publication of the Phonogram, as a re presentative organ of all the enterprises involved. Such pluck, and ambition is worthy of praise and encouragement. It is an example of woman's ability to achieve success and should stimulate every member of her sex who may be inclined to fold her hands despairingly and" fall hopeless by the wayside.
