Distinguished Drunkards. If Providence hospital, Washington, could talk, it might tell tales that would shock many a listener. At the wuie time the Btory would call forth his ut- ' most sympathy. Tho strain of political ' life and its fierce ups and downs play hapjo with nerve and brain tissue. Dis tinguished men in political life too often take refuge in drink. They are so numerous in both political camps, in fact, that by a sort of unwrit ten understanding partisan papers are silent on thi3 grave subject. Persons in ! glass houses dare not throw stones. A United States senator made a pitiful exhibition of himself in public not long since, The explanation of it was that suggested by our heading. But this was only a surface indication of a mournful current that has been flowing through the capital city from the days of Webster down. When the craving tit comes on, the distinguished men who cannot withstand it often are taken to Providence hospital. There they are kept till the maddening appetite leaves them for the time Then they return to their oflicial duties. What the devoted wives of some of these men endure can never be told. They watch their husbands with the utmost care. Beautiful, richly dressed women there are whose gayest seeming moments are sometimes passed in an agony of sus pense. When love's unerring eye detects symptoms of the approaching aberration, tho care is redoubled. There is a brilliant, charming woman in Washington society whose face wears a set, stern look, strangely at variance with her gay surroundings. Strangers see the look in her portraits and wonder at it. Her husband, high in office, is subject to terrible attacksof dipsomania. It is Baid when its premonitions appear she goes with him in the carriage and watches hi in till she sees him seated in his chair f or the day. When his hours are over, slie meets him with tho carriage again, and drives with him to Provi dence hospital, w I lose kindly shelter keeps him safe till the morrow. Once more she comes for him and sees him safe in his seat, only to return in the evening. So she guards him till the attack is over. It is said that only thus has melancholy exposure been avoided more than once. No wonder her face wears tho stern, repressed look. A RIack Stale. Mr. Philip A. Bruce has written rather a remarkable book, entitled "The Planta tion Negro as a Freeman." lie takes the ground that the white and black races will never mingle. On the contrary, they are drifting apart. lie says a firmly established antipathy between the two exists, which will deepen as time goes on. Moreover, tho negro as a freeman, left to himself without the civilizing in fluences of servitude, will relapse into barbarism. By the middle of another century this country will present a race of pure black Africans, exhibiting, for good or for bad, all the traits of their savage ancestors. The colored imputa tion is meantime increasing. Will the former slave states then in time be over run with a horde of barbaric ebony liued Americo-Afrieans? This is the problem Mr. Bruce thinks tho south will be called on to solve. In addition to this souio curious race statistics have been published from Mis sissippi They are not reassuring to the whites of that state. In the ten years from 1870 to 1880 the white race had increased at tho rate of 25.27 per cent., the negro at the rate of 40.84 per cent. In 1880 tho negro popu lation was 171,820 greater than the white. At the same rate of increase the majority of the negroes in 1890 will be 350,921 in a total population of some thing over a million and a half. Tho aw ful illiteracy of this majority is something terrible to contemplate. Over 50 per cent, of the voters in Mississippi are unable to read and write. In 188011 per cent, of the whites could not read or write, and 75 ercent. of tho blacks were in this same condition. Tho black popu lation of Mississippi is increasing so largely in consequence of immigration from elsewhere in the south. The finger of destiny seems to joint to Mississippi as a black state. The visit of the English woman, Ame lia B. Edwards, LL. 1)., to this country is an event of interest. Dr. Edwards re ceived the degree of L, II. D. from Co lumbia college, New York city, and that of LL. D. from Smith college. She is ono of tho most learned Egyptologists living. Beginning fife as a novelist, 6he occupied her leisure time in the study of Egyptian antiquities, to which she was attached. For many years she has continued these studies. She will come in October and lecture. Her work opens at the Peabody institute in Baltimore. She discusses the influence of ancient Egypt on our modern art. The British association of newspaper writers lias long had a grievance. The fact that it had no tail to its distinguished kite in tho sliape of atitlo or row of let ters lias rankled in its breast. At the last annual meeting the organization sol em dy resolved that hereafter those be longing thereto should add M. I. J. to their names. M. I. J. means member of the Institute of Journalists. Now hap piness reigns. But M. I. J. has not a musical sound. Tho United States is the greatest pro ducer of gold, 6ilver, lead and copper In the world.

Thought H Was a l'tnUUer. A well known lawyer started for his north side home about dusk one evening last week. He thought he needed exer cise, so he concluded to walk over. He had with him a ladies' work basket, fixed upon a high standard, and this ho was carrying home to his wife. He struck Dearborn avenue and liastened north at a rapid gate. lie was looking straight ahead, and after he had gone a few blocks he noticed a stylishly dressed lady alight from a handsome equipage and run hurriedly up the steps of a house. lie thought he noticed her drop something, and when he reached the sidewalk in front of the house where the carriage had stood he looked down and discovered a fat purse. Picking it up he tripped up the steps and rang tho door bell, the lady having been admitted lie fore he came up. His ring was answered In a moment by a neat maid, whom he asked If the lady of the house was in. ; The lady evidently heard tho question, as she stepped at once to the door. lie was about to return the pocket! ook she had dropped, when she noticed the bas ket in his hand and blurted out: "No, we don't want anything." Then she slammed the door in hi3 face. lie wanted to explain, but it wounded his pride to be taken for a peddler, and lie tucked the pocketbook in his pocket and proceeded on his way home. " On his way down tow n in the morning the gentleman stopped again at the lady's house to return the jocketlMKk. I lis wife had not been satisfied with the work basket ho had brought home u ith him, and he carried it along to exchange for another. It happened that when he rang the bell ot the house, the number of which he had carefully noted the day l iore, the lady herself was in the ball. She "hastened to the door and when she saw the man and the basket again hho jetu lantly exclaimed, "I told you lat night, sir, that we wanted nothing." and lor the second time she slammed the door in his countenance. This made him hot. When he reached his office he put the pocketbook in a sealed envelop and tucked it away in his safe I r a whole week afterward the lady advertised in all of the papers for her h..-t wealth. At last the law yer addressed her a note, asking her to call at his office. When she came ho eat her down, explained all the circumstances to her, and then hand ed over her pocketlook. It contained $331. Now it is a safe l t that when :i man who looks like a camasser rings her door lell she will search h r pockets before she turns him away. t 'hieago Herald.

"Like the alcaldo of Las.' c .:uo el alcalde do Lagos, is an expression cur rent throughout a large part of Mexico to denoto any trying or ludicrous coi tion that a man is placed in localise IkHi his hands are full. The story runs: Once went an alcalde of L iiS s to church. And in his right hand In- car ried his staff of office, and as lie entered tho church he lifted otF and held in his left hand bis bat. Then lie sought to put tho holy water Uon his f on head: but this he could not do, for lth his hands were fulL Then i:i a while a lwld resolve entered his heart, and he plunged his head into the font. Before the plaza that is in the midst of the town of Lagos was set in order, as it now is, there was in the middle of it a deep and w ide hole. And tlii., Ik. le caused tho town council (ayuntaniionto) much concern, for they perceived that it was a dangerous place, into wyich the unwary might fall in tho dark and le killed or maimed. !So a meeting of the council was called, and it was decided that tho hole should bo filled. And to get earth to fdl it a hole was dug lie-side it. And, behold, when it was full there was a new hole, as deep and as wid as that which was tilled! Then in the same way did they 6Ct about filling the new hole, and again was the same icsult. only now tho hole no longer w as in the middle of the plaza, but over at the. side of it in the street that goes out tow ard the north. And again they filled it. and so continued, until at last the bole w as far out in the northern suburb of the town. And there they sulfcred the hole to remain, for thero it did no harm.

After theenjoyment of a Turkish liath, and when reclinin g on one of the couches in the cooling room, a few days since, 1 asked the attendant, who bad given un a more than usually good rubbing, what his name was. He replied, "Jim." "Isn't thero but ono Jim in the pi ace.' ''There couldn't be, sir" said he. "Cut suppose a new man with tliat name should be employed? Don't such a thing happen oc casionally?" "Yes; but we wold d baptize him and give him another name. A new fellow came on yesterday w ho said his name was James. We grabbed him, took him over to the big plunge and com menced swinging him back and forward for a good souse. He cried out, 'Don't throw me, for I can't swim.' When he came up out of tho hole bo had made in the water and was relieved to find that he could touch bottom with his head c lear of the surface, he was saluted with, 'Your name is John,' and his name is John here. The next John will nave to go through the same process and be baptized some thing else." Brooklyn Eagle. The Power of Diuiier. A distinguished lawyer came out of his private office a few days ago and brusquely told a reporter that he did not care to discuss the private affairs of h'u clients. Ho said it was none of the pub lic's business, and then he bounced back Into his private office and slammed the door. It was important that the reporter should get the news, and so, on the strength of past experiences, ho called at the lawyer's home that night. The lawyer had just finished his dinner, and he came into his parlor, his face beam ing with geniality and a prime cigar in his mouth. He shook the reporter's hand, and then talked to him for half an hour, and gave him more information than ho had any use for.

AudiToR's Dkpart.mkxt ) Raleigh, June 28, 1889. ' To pensioners and applicants tor pensions under the Pension act, and to others whom it may concern: The following information is published for the benefit of all concerned: 1. The new pension act does not go into effect before next year (1890), except so far as re lates to determining the charac ter and classification of those who are to receive its benefits. (See 1st proviso, 19th section, of the new act, copies of which will be furnished upon application to this department.) Pensions will be paid this year from the appro priation ($30,000) provided bv the old act of 1S85, as amended by the laws of 1887, and accor ding to the requirements of that act as so amended. This sum is required to be paid pro rata and is likely to be very small, owing to the large increase in the pen sion roll since the passage of the new pension act. 2. Pensioners whose names are already upon the pension roll will not be required to file new applications, at least until the new pension act goes fully into effect, and most probably nd then. Further information on this point will be furnished at the proper time. 3. Blank applications under the old law have been furnished to each county whenever infor mation has been received that the old supply previously furnished has been exhausted and a request presented to this department for a renewal of the same. As the blanks under the old law will not be available after next Mondav, July 1st, the distribution of such blanks will terminate with that date. 4. Register of Deeds will be fully informed as the time when their duties as prescribed by the new act will be furnished them for distribution, together with such blanks, etc., in conformitv therewith as may be necessary to fully meet the requirements of the law. 5. The opportunity for the presentation of new applications under the old law terminates with the first Monday in July of the present year. After that .late it will be necessary to get up other forpis of application, particularlv in the case of widows, and all the old blanks will be dispensed with and new ones substituted. In addition, the department will be engaged in making inquiry into the nature and extent of the wounds received by old soldiers, now pensioners, where not spe cifically stated in their original applications), in order to accom plish the classification required by section 1 of the new pension act. Inquiry will also have to be made in the cases of nearly 3,000 widows who are already re ceiving a pension: the last Legis lature having determined in the new pension act that only such widows shall be retained or en tered on the pension roll as are "indigent," i. e., such as are in actually destitute circumstances. As applicants will have until the first Monday in July, 1S90, in which to present their applica tions and have them acted on, a suspension in the matter of the filing of new applications is re commended until such time as this department is prepared to furnish new blanks and to meet all the requirements of the new law When prepared for new ap plications due and ample notice will be given in the columns of the various newspapers through out the State.

It is probably too soon to form a correct judgment as to the pol icy Mr. Harrison means to ca"rry out in his appointments to the federal offices in the South, or, indeed,- to tell with certainty whether he has any definite pol icy; but it is quite plain from the relatively small number of appointments made that either he has abandoned the theory ascribed to him in the outset viz , that he' Would try to buildup the Republican party in that section by giving appointments only to such Republicans as would com mand popular respeet r else that he has been sadly misled in' the advice he has; taken, or has sadly erred in his own judgment of his appointees.
