Eulalla Takes to Johnny Cake. [From the Chicago Times.] Among the tastes which the Princess Eulalla has acquired since her arrival in America is a strong one for corn bread. This is what Col. J. C. Murphy says, and he is the corn man of the Department of Agriculture.. "Some days ago in Washington, when looking over the bill of fare of the dinner given the Infanta, I noticed the corn bread was not mentioned," he said yesterday after registering his n ame at the .Grand Pacific. "I asked the proprietor of the Arlington the reason for this, and he said sweet corn was not in season and there was no need to-have corn bread on. the.- bill of fare because the Princess insisted on its being served at every meal. When the Infanta first got to the hotel in Washington all kinds of bread were placed on the table and the royal guests picked out some corn muffins as the most toothsome of the lot. She is fond of having them toasted, too, which is rather unusual with us. The day of her arrival the Princess in dining at the Palmer House asked the waiter right away for corn muffins."

One of the Means Employed is by Holing on to the Freehold Voter Against his Will. [Greenville News.] We find 'in The Newberry Herald and News a detailed statement of how a dispensary has been secured for the citizens of that town by the county board of control. We submit an out line of the facts as a matter of informa tion for other boards of control and for the instruction of the general pub lic. Il the. first place, there was never a petition for a dispensary, as the haV requires. R. C. Maybin took around a paper asking for appointment as dispen ser and secured 93 signatures to it. The clerk of the board of control se cured from the town clerk an alleged list of freehold voters of the town, showing 141 names. Of the 93 names on Mr. May bin's pe tition 22 do not appear on the official list of freeh,ld voters. Therefore Mr. Maybin had 71 names of freehold voters according to the official list-exactly a majority. - It was shown, however, that of these 71 L. W. C. Blalock has been a citizen of Richmond, Va., since last February and Jas. L. Cannon has been dead more than two months. Yet these two are counted as freehold voters of the town of Newberry for the purpose of estab lishing a liquor dispensary. 2 from 141' leaves 139. 2 from 71 leaves 69 which is not quite half of 139. Furthermore, the board received the following from persons whose names are on Mr. Maybin's petition: To the Board of Control for Newberry Coun ty-Gentlemen: You will find our names on one or both of the applications for the ap pointment of a Dispenser for Newberry. We placed our'nanes there under a misapprehen sion, and we respectfuily ask that they be erased, as we are not willing to be regarded as signers when you come to pass upon the ap plications. WM. P. HOUSEAL. C. C. MCWHIRTER. Tuos. E. EPr,NG. R. C. WILLIAms. J. S. RUSSELL.. June 9, 1893. This was disregarded. The names of these five men were counted for the dis pensary. Furthermore, evidence was offered that there are several freehold voters of the town ivhose names do not appea' on the official list so that even counting the dead man and the Richmond man, the list did not have a majority. This also was disregarded. To secure a dispensary, therefore, we find the following propositions are to be held That when a citizen signs a public document under a misapprehension or misrepresentation he is not to be al lowed to withdraw his name. A man may stop payment bf a check if he finds he has been deceived or may cancel his name on a note if he has been fraudu lently secured and is not in the hands of an innocent third party, but on a dispenser's petition it must stand for ever. No power can remove it, not even an act of the l-egislature or death. When a man has once been a free hold voter for dispensary purposies, -he is always one. He may sell his prop erty, or move away or die. He remains a freehold-voter of the- town where it is deemed expedient.in the interest of reform and pure morals and the eleva tion of the people-to -establish a State liquor shope. Now is the're any sense or propriety in this, to say riothing of the matter of legality? Where is the .use of trying to force a liquor shop otn a community obviously opposed to it? There was a great, mournful and stimnula'ting howl from the Refawm organs somte time ago over alleged advice fro-n anti Tillmaan newspapers to violate the proposed dis pensary law. Yet here is a Rlefawm board of control violating certainly the spirit and probably the letter of the very law it is supposed to be putting iito operation. The-e can be no ques tion that the dispensary law was in tended to leave the question of dispen sary or no dispensary to be submitted directly to the freehold voters of each town and city, such voters being sup posed to represent fairly the intelli gence, morality and taxable values of such communities. It has been found, however, that the people are not so anxious for whiskey as they were thought to be. Therefore the law is evaded and* this sharp practice of. doubtful legality and of morality not at all doubtful is resorted to. The peo pie have been induced to sign one thing and are counted as having signed another. If our information is correct the con dition of affairs in Newberry is nearly approached by that in Greenville. A number of men who thought they were signing.a paper to make Mr. Hill dis penser in case there was a dispensary find themselves counted as signing an application for a dispensary, which they oppose; and when thsey ask to have their names erased they are told it can not be done. They have voted. We think that question is to be tested in the courts. 'Whether it is or not, we ask the people not yet trapped if they propose to sanction, uphold and sustain a law which it i, proposed .to establish on a basis of practical fraud. Trusts and Combinations Are unpopular. But there is one form of trust against which no one has any thing to-say. That is the trust which the public reposes in Hood's Sarsapa rilla, and the best of it is the trust is fully justified *by the merits of the medicine. For, remember, HOOD'S Sarsaparilla CURES. HooD's PILLs are purely vegeta-ble, and do not purge, pain or gripe. Sold by all druggists.o HE IS OUT OF POLITICS. I Representative Shell i, Generally Non- A Committal Except on that One Point. (Greenville News, -5th.] Lnst night a reporter of The News called on Congressman G. W. Shell at the residence of W. D. Metts, o Whit- r ner street. Capt. Shell is in fine health I and seenis to have little care or trouble t judging from his personal appearance. The reporter opened up on politics as a i ma.tter of course. The Captain smiled t leasantly, but reaunrked: "You remember, I announced in January that I w:ts out of politics. I ( want to re-affirm what I then said, I t im out of politics. It is strange that P this can not be understood." ' There was somethilig of a pathetie a tone to his voice as he said: ( "I wanted to retire from public life I quietly, carrying with me the kind r feeling and good will of my fellow S citizens;I wanted to retire gracefully t and peacefully. But iL seems that I c am not understood, so I say to you to- E night, I am no longer in politics and I t wish this understood." The .reporter asked him if he had a seen the two contradictory statenicnt' I published, in the Columbia Journal, r intervieWs with two Tillmanites, one ( affirming that he was a true blue Till- t manite and the other that he was a r traitor and would be bounced out of the reform party. He replied that he had not seen the articles and in con C sequence could not express any opinion in regard to them. "What about the bitter attack of the Register?" asked the reporter. He smiled pleasantly, thought a no ment and replied: "Well, to tell the truth, I am not advised as to the motives of the Regis ter in making a gratuitous attack on me." Ilesitating a moment, Captain Shell raised his hand and with quick utter ance, said: "I am to-day as much vedded to the reform movement as I was in 1888 when I was elected president of the I Farmer's association. No man can deny,tbis. When I had the manage ment of the reform movement I con sidered it in a strong and healthy con dition. To those who have charge of the movement I wish great success. It does seem strange that my loyalty to a party which I had. considerable partin building up should be doubted at this late day. But these doubis can exist 2 only in the minds of those who are -mbittered byjeaiuy. I have- tr.ad to do my duty in Congress, fairly and conscientiously, and. now I am out of tolities." Captain Shell: seems to feel relit ved by theidea of being out of the political arena and he will evidently enjoy observing the making and bi'eaking of slates and the tussle for place and power. Captain Shell was given a drive over the city in about the handsomest landau in town by prominent citizens who have been well kDown as sup-i porters of his, and many of them gath ered around him in the streets or called upon him. 31CCH ADO AE3OUT NoTHIING.

His presence did not stir up any visible-excitement as he came i to take in the commencement and hear some few remarks from Ex-Senatori Donaldson.

CLEVELAND'S VERSION? ,New and Enlarged Account of the Victo torla Hotel Damn. [New York Herald, 13th.] Mr. Cleveland's own story of the imous little dinner party at the Victo ia Hotel, at which Mr. Sheehan's nose 7as tweaked, so to speak, is quite in eresting. This is the way it is repeated by an atimate friend of the President, and is he first time it has been made public a its details. Mr. Whitney had urged upo: Mr. 'leveland the importance of meeting he surly leaders of the Democratic or 'anization with a "view to harmony. 'he then ex-president was unwilling t first. He insisted that the fight at ,hicago had settled the question of ersonalities, and there was no more eason why he should go to New York ad make overtures to Mr. Hill's friends ban that he should go to the followers f any defeated candidate in any other state. If they were Democrats it was heir business to support the ticket. Finally, however, Mr. Whitney's rguments prevailed, and Mr. Cleve ind started from Buzzard's Bay to aeet the sullen leaders. When Mr. 3leveland met Mr. Whitney prior to he dinner he looked at him with a cu ious smile. READY TO HEAR THE RIOT ACT. "Well, Whitney, have you got your inner ready?" "Yes; everything is ready." "Who will be there to-night?" "Murphy,Sheehan, Croker,"and Mr. Vhitney named the invited guests. There was a moment of silence, and hen Mr. Whitney laughed. "I saw Sheehan at the Hoffman louse to-day," he said," and he says e intends to read the riot act to you o-night." "I have heard that he intends to do omething of that sort," said Mr. Cleve and quietly, "and I have come to New cork so that he may have a good op iortunity." When the dinner was ended that ight Mr. Sheehan turned to Mr. Cleve 3nd and said there was a matter of usiness to be discussed. Mr. Cleve ind expressed his willingness to hear nything that might be said. Mr. heehan told him that the gentlemen hen present were the leaders and rep esentatives of the Democratic organi ation in the State of New York, and hat they wanted to come to a definite [nderstanding with. him. He could tot be elected unless they supported rim and they did not intend to take ,ny chances this time. MR. SHEEHAN'S DEMAND. "Well, what do you gentlemen vant?" asked Mr. Cleveland. "We want pledges from you," said &r. Sheehan. "We want to know vhat you are going to do if you are lected. We want you to give us pro nises that will satisfy us that the or ~anization will be properly recognized f you become President again." Mr. Cleveland doubled, up his huge irst and smote the table. "Gentlemen," he said, speaking slow y and with almost painful distinctness. 'I will not go into the White. House >ledged to you or to any one else. I vill make no secret promises. Il be tamned if I will." Again the big fist whacked the able. "What are you going to do, then?"' niquired Mr. Sheehan cynically. MR. CLEvELAND'S DEFrANCE. "PIl tell you what I'm going 'to do," aid Mr. Cleveland as he rose to his set, "I intend to address a letter to the iublic, in which I shall withdraw from he ticket. I wii' write that letter be ore I sleep to-night, and give it to the tssociated Press. I intend to explain ny situation and report what you have aid to me here. I will tell the voters f the country that I cannot give any ecret pledges, and that unless I do you vill not support the Democratic ticket, rhich means the loss of the State of few York and defeat. I will tell the oters that I do not want to stand in he way of a Democratic victory. That Swhat I shall do. Then, gentlemen, -on can pick out a candidate to suit 'ou, and if he is the proper man and he candidate of the party 'I will vote >r him." There was a pause. "But PIl 'tell you one thing, Mr. theehan," said Mr. Cleveland, as he urned to. the now breathless Lieuten ut Governor. "In my opinion public adignation will show you and your or 'anization out of sight before the end f a week. Mr. Croker leaped to his feet. "This must stop, Mr. Sheehan," he iid. "I agree' with Mr. Cleveland. He annot make any pledges, and it is not ight to ask for them." So the dinner party separated. "I tell you what it is," said the ex 'resident, as he related the story, those fellows got hold of Mr. Whitney nid rattled him. He was actually rat ed. They scared him." STHERE ANOTHER FIGHT IN SIGHT? A gentleman who saw the President few weeks ago says Mr. Cleveland ow thbinks it was a great mistake not >have allowed the anti-Tammany lemnocrats to nominate an independent chet. He is confident that such a eket would have been victorious, and ouid have resulted in a political con ition in the State less embarrassing ian that which now confronts him. "I am satisfied," said my informant, that the next local election will result 1 Republican success. And it seems >me about the best thing that can appen." "Is that Mr. Cleveland's idea, too,?". "I won't say that. In fact, I don't know." WHITNEY WON'T TALK. [New York Sun, 14th.] Mr. Whitney was out of town last night. Mr. Croker, as he has always done, refused to talk regarding what oc curred at the dinner, and would neither confirm nor deny the Herald story. t "Anybody who expects me to talk about that dinner will have to wait a long time," said he. "It was a private dinner, and I shall say nothing about it. I cannot prevent others from talk ing of what occurred, but I can refrain i from saying anything about it my self. t Overwork and Underwork. [Youth's Companion.] Every one has heard of the danger of r overwork, yet few understand just a where the danger lies. A man can hard- b ly overwork himself if he takes care of h himself in other respects-secures a a normal amount of sleep, breathes pure 11 air, takes exercise and-eals food moder- t ately. 0 The main trouble is that the man e who is overworking is violating funda- t: mental conditions of health. He burns 1I bis candle at both ends. - .1 With due care, a man of good here- ( dity is capable of safely doing an al- y most incredible amount of solid work. 1 Mr. Gladstone at eighty-three, with no t show of weariness, carries the weight i of the British Empire. The celebrated John Wesley did more work than al- s most any other man of the last century; I but he observed the laws of health, and r still active, reached his eighty-eighth v year. I Much of the ,o-called overwork is ! the overwork of worry, care, anxiety, 0 and haste; These make' the severest draft on the vitality of the system. We seldam hear of a Quaker's dying of overwork, and yet they are a very industrious people. The pupil who has prematurely broken down in his studies a might have gone on under even heavier t loads if there had been' nothing to fret e him in his home surroundings, and t competition, examinations and scholar- t ship markings had no place in our b school system. The fact is, work, and a plenty of it, is healthy in a high de- 13 gree. - And this leads us to say that a lack P of work, with brain or hand, is highly d injurious. Underwork may be as harm- V ful as overwork to the brain if not to 13 the body. Nations living in conditions a in which the means of livelihood comc V almost without effort, are in every way s feeble. Close confinement in prison S tends to idiocy. Further, where the mental faculties are not called into action, the moral I also lie dormant, and 'the lower prq- r pensities become all-controlling. In all i ages the corruptions of the higher . classes are due to this fact. Few worse U things can befall one than to have U nothing to do. i t southern states31agazine for June. dj The article of most timely interest in 1 the June number of The Southern i States magazine is a criteal paper on "Jefferson Davis and His Cause," by e James R.

Happiness is an endowment and not n acquisition- It depends more upon mperament and disposition than upon avironment. It is a state or condi on of the mind, and not a commodity > be bought or sold in the market. A eggar may be happier in his rags than king in his purple. Poverty is no fore incompatible with happiness than ,ealth, and the inquiry how to be hap y though poor, implies a want of Un erstanding of the conditions upon hich happiness depends. Dives was ot happy because he was a million ire, nor Lazarus wretched because he ras apauper. Thereisquallif the )ul of man that issuperior-to circum ances and that defies calamity and isfortune. The man who is unhappy when he poor would be unhappy if he were ich, and he who is happy in a palace 1 Paris would be happy in a dugout a the frontier of Dakota. There are as uany unhappy rich men as there are nhappy poor men. Every heart knows s own bitterness and its own joy. Not diat wealth and what it brings is not esirable-books, travel, leisure, comn >rt, the best-food and raiment, agreea le companionship-but all these do ot necessarily bring happiness and iay co-exist with the deepest wretch dness, while adversity and penury, Kile and privation are not incompati le with.the lofticst exultation of the mul. More true joy MarceUus exiled feels Than Cuesaar with a Senate at his heels. Joxtr J. I NGALTLS. An Inve,,tment that Wim Pay.

The rapid increase of our urban pop ulatior as compared with the rural,~ as shown by the late census, has been much commented upon. The increase, of the past ten years in towns of 1,000 and over has been a little over 47 per cent., while the rural population has increased only a Irifle over 12 per cent. or only slightly more than one-fburth the rate of the f-:aer. The raie of the rural increpse is less than one-half that of thp mazntry in general. This has commonly been spoken-of asa relative disparity, meaning only that the towns are increasing more rapidly than the country, but the fact is that in a very large part of the con try there has been an absolute decrease of the population. We are famiiar with the faet that in certain parts of New England there has been such a decrease, and we have attributed it to the development of manufacturing, and the poverty of the soil. The - peo ple are said to have gone into the shop3 and'mlls or to~the Wst. .But what'.. is true of-New England, is trueofvery large sections ofcountry,' where the conditions are quite different. New York is one of the richist agricultural States in the Union, yet in thecount1es - north of the Harlem the decrease has been almost nine per cent. In some of the new parts of the country thi de crease is almost as large. 'In the south eastern counties of Minnesota, and for five hundred miles in an air-line down the Mississippi, with but one short break, on one or the other side of the river, the same remarkable fact ap pears. A writer in the Popular Science Monthly shows that in a district em bracing parts of Minnesota, Iowa,M1s souri, Illinois, and Wisconsin, having an area of over 80,000 square miles, the population is lessthan it-was in 18 In 138 counties out of 141 theie has been a loss, and in the other three a bare gain. In large parts of Iowa and Illinois this same retrogression is seen. The salbe is_tru of parts of Mssssi1pi;' Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana,and some other States., t is to be noted that this deeressile not dependent upon.thesoiloela It is as marked in some of -the richet lands as in sterile New-England. intM .regions of balmy winds as In the chilly winds of the Atlanjic coast. One re markable fact is thal. Penunsylvania Iff almost the onlyone.of theolder States whIch has madea;gin inti eri" loss; but even in thiStite it.will found in some localities there aso been any Increase; the .gain largely in.mining districts, and .nth parts lately opened up by tltensio of the lumbering interests. It is not easy to explain, these changes, but some facts are cear First, It must be remembered thatthe territory opened up to settlement 3n the decade under consideration :Is enormously large. The "settled ares,9 that is,-where the populationlsatleast two to the square mile, hias increased within the time named, 377,715.square miles; nearly as much as France and Germany combined. Such an -exten sion of occupied territory is far 6eyond the increase In the population; and , hence some parts must suffer. The gain to the States west of the Missouri, to the northern parts of Michign Wisconsin, and Minnesota, in southern Florida and in Texas and the Dakotas has been at the expense of the farming 4listricts in the older settlements. With the partial exhaustion of the land by improvident farming, and the opening up of other lan'ds supposed to be richier and the comparaively little difference made by distance from market, there is a continual movement, and this will continue until the lands are all taken up, and the raew suffers, like the old, from exhaustion, or the old becomes better by improved farming. .The introduction of machinery and - the cheapness of transportation cor bine adversity to the country. Eivep with the great disparity existing there is not a paying market for the products of the farm. It is possible for cities to grow indefinitely, as it at one 'Srne was not, for .food supply can now be brought from Minnesota and the Red River to the sea coast as cheap sea generation ago it was hauled two hun dred miles in a connestoga wagon; and the concentration of manufacturing 1n large establishmints is correlative to the eseof foo supply. We may expect the pres,ent order to continue for'a long time to come. The farms cannot-support all who belong to them, and hence the surplus mustseek the denser population-for mechanical or professional employment until the - equilibrium shall be brought about, and the country be able to furnish as good opportunities for the enterprising and ambitious as the town, 'until the sparsely settled lands will be' fill4d up and farm products will command a re munerative market.
