SUNSHINE AND SHADOWS. lights and Domestic Ethics, ———_. MATRONLY mother- hog, with « litter of a dozen white and spotted beauties, doing light housekeeping in a not re- m mote alley and apparently enjoying all the luxuries of modern civilization, with no hiut of the prevailing depression in agriculture, was one of the first Bights to greet Tux Star reporter's eye as he voyaged through the bywaysof thecity. Fas- tidious folks like Senator Chandler, whose re- cent letter on the condition of his own alley will become an English classic, may think it out of place to pasture hogs on our asphalt pavement, and surely it is poor picking. But | here the swine lay aside their uncouth and val- gar habits, cease to acquire sustenance by the sweat of their brows, and retiring to the pri- Yacy of an alley, live as becomes gentlemen on the unearned increment. It would grieve them to be molested, and truly ‘twould be capital punishment to drive them out of town. ‘The alleys in the best residence part of the city were found by Tae Sran’s tourist to be in ral as neat and clean as the streets them- and only in isolated cases, where an- cient buildings in somewhat dilapidated condi- tion still remain among the elegant productions | of recent years, are there grounds for com- jaint. But the alleys that are used for homes by the humble classes present quite another view. In some of them there is filth and squalor alore. Large families live in little shells of | houses often having but one room. in which all | of the varied duties of domestic life are per- formed.

In the distance isa fish monger whose inimitable heraldry echoes down the narrow corridors of time, fertilizing whole fields of oratory with its redundant richness. Some mongers, it is said, have such sharp and rasping voices that they scale their fish with them, thus adding to the value received, and drive through the alleys for that purpose. The architecture of the | homes is very simple and, in some respects, at this is more than offset by the tal surroundings of boxes and ash which barnyard fowls sing th ry. | From an upper window near that in which the | bed room draperies are being rejuvenated in the sunlight an aged woman exhorted the artist in accents profane and meaningful to move on, The days of the years of her pilgrimage were very many, even as those of her father Jacob, but she nad x had her picture taken anc | withdrew to the privacy of her chamber rather than appear in print It is not quite on tl Henry George nor yet on the Bellamy pl: that these humble dwellers domesticate in the byways of the capital.

Under affliction such as this new confidence in fellow beings is not un- usually awakened and the burden of the be- reaved is lightened by an imparting of their woes. So the reporter was invited in and lis- tened to a plain, unvarnished tale. A child of innocent years had been stricken down and | was lying on a cot where but a few hours be- fore the golden thread of life had broken. Not- | withstanding the environments of the place there was within evidence of a desire for re- finement, however distant might be the actual | ossession. ‘bough the parents had never jelved in the mysteries of learning thechil- | dren were in the schools and had not tasted in | vain the biessings now free to all.

West alley or Le Droit court, between 6th and 7th and Sand T streets, is also an interesting by Barefoot alley, between 10th and 11th and U and V streets, is noted not so much for decolette clothes as for those that are high in the instep.

These boulevards vary in width from ten to forty feet, cross alleys be- tween two others in the same block, making many inner courts, where all the festivities of life are seen in their original luster. Here, as has been hinted, first see the light many future regents of the republic who cannot trace their pedigree back to altars or orange blossoms, Hardly more fortunate in this respect are they than many born under the curse of slavery. Not worse perhaps is the physical condition of these people than that of thousands im any of our great commercial cities, but their proxim- ity here to all that is beautiful and inspiring makes their state seem the worse by contrast. Where there lack of emulation there is little hope. If this huddled population would spread itself out into the suburbs, now made available by increased transit facilities, and secure little homes of their own, not only would the appearance of the city be improved and the mortuary rate reduced, but the spirit and character of the people would be greatly elevated. The best citizens are those who sometimes live ‘with the sky above their heads and the grass beneath their feet.” Cobble-stone | alleys redolent with offensive odors arte con- | ducive rather to vice than to virtue and more | suggestive of mobs than morals, Yet, as a rule, the denizens of these places are happy | from their standpoint of happiness and at | peace with all the world.

An Interesting Comparison Made With Some Old City Post Office Accounts. In overhauling some old papers at the city post office a few days ago Mr. Seymour W. Tul- lock, the cashier, came across some of the old postal accounts, among them one for the quar- ter ending March 31, 1854, when Mr. J. G. Ber- ret was postmaster. ‘he account for the cor- responding quarter of this year has just been rendered and the two show some very interest- ing comparisons, Thus the postal revenues from January 1 to March 31, 1590, amounted to €119,885.03; postal revenues from January 1 to March 31, 1854, #10,- 935,34, showing an increase for 1890 of 996 per cent, Sale of stamps, &c., January 1 to March 81, 1890, $118,073.80; from January 1 to March 31, 1854, $3,833.02; Increase, 2,980 per cent; unpaid postage collected Jan- uary 1 to March $1, 1854, $4,125.79; pos- tage due stamps sold January 1 to March 31, 1990, €452; decrease unpaid postage, $3,- 673.79. Postage on drop letters January 1 to March 31, 1890, $21,742.14; from January 1 to March 31, 1854, $154.71; increase, 13,953 per cent. Paid for advertising letters, January 1 to March 31, 1890, €87.20; January 1 to March 81, 1854, $59.61; increase, $27.59. Number of free let- ters mailed January 1 to March 31, 1854. 708,071. Clerk hire, January 1 to March 31, 1890, 847, 300.30; January 1 to March 31, 1854, $7,496.50; increase, 531 percent. Miscellaneous expenses, January 1 to March 31, 1890, $3,132.15; January 1 to March 31, 1854, $918.75; increase, $2,213.40, 241 per cent. Postmaster’s salary, January 1 to March 31, 1890, $1,250; January 1 to March 81, 1854, #500; increase, $750, 150 per cent. In bis letter to the tmaster bs hor the find of these old documents inclosing the above figures Mr. Tullock says: ‘‘From this it will be seen that while the postal revenue has increased 996 per cent, sales of stamps 2,980 per cent, postage on drop letters 13,953 per cent, the clerk hire has increased only 531 per cent, the postmaster’s salary 150 per cent and the miscellaneous expenses 241 per cent. “The unpaid postage shows a very marked decrease, owing to matter now being required to be mostly prepaid, except from foreign coun- tries. The advertised list shows but little in- crease, notwithstanding the enormons increase in matter received and the increase of floating population. “In 1854 the clerk hire consumed 68 per cent of the postal revenue; for the last quarter only 39 per cent, and this notwithstanding the de- crease in the rates of postage and the enormous increase of free matter consequent upon the extension of goverument postal business which i required to be handled by this office while adding nothing to its revenues, “The ratio of postmaster’s salary to revenue in 1854 was 45¢ per cent, at present hardly 1 percent. Were the same ratio of clerk hire now in force the amount available for that pur- pose would have been about $81,500 for the inst quarter, instead of @47,350, and the post- master's salary would be about $21,500 per annum, instead of €5,000, as at present, “In the account before me the postmaster reserved # commission varying from 50 per cent to 15 per cent upon the revenues of the office, and from this commission retsined a compensation limited to $500 for the quarter, ud from the balance paid his clerks and office expenses. He also received a commission of 1 per cent upon each free letter. Fanatics With a Woman Leader.

I only wanted to know whether we were going to be called back before we got there?” Then the train went on hurriedly, with now and then a glass clinking in the soft, sweet air of May and the poker chip dropping melodi- ously into the Cre to relieve the monotonous whirr of the wheels, MORE OF THE SAME SORT. It was s glorious moment And it wasn’t costing anybody a cent—except the railroad people and the fellows who were dropping chips. But nobody cared for that, for what were they there for? And so we rustled along through the Old Dominion, with a joke for Bull Run, a cheer for Culpeper, a peal of applause for Orange Court House, an appetite for the Charlottesville dinner, an anthem of praise for Lynchburg and rush for dinner at Danville, which fell an easy prey to the ruthless invaders, After supper everybody went to bed—that is from eix to ten hours after.

It was the voice of @ married man. “Matilda,” it wailed, “Matilda!” But no answer came, for every Matilda had been left at home and only men were of the Matilda,” it called again; ‘oh, Matilda, throw me out the night key; I want tocome in.” ‘Then the porter came and I heard only a warn- ing “Sh. d a few whispers, which shortly died away into the silence of the night, THE SANDS OF TIME, When morning came we were in Columbia, 8.C., or in that neighborhood, and it was dis- covered that there had been arise in South Carolina real estate.

Just out of Augusta at 10:30 a reception com- mittee, composed of the manly beauty, brains and boodle of the city, met the visitors, and its members, after the formali were treated to a song by the choir of the excursion, the names of whose members will not,tor the sake of their families, be mentioned here. After the committee had heard the music it extended a vote of thanks to the choir with the assurance that as Augusta's guest it would not be called upon to do anything but rest its voice and enjoy itself and let others do likewise. Have you ever been in Augusta? jo! ‘Then go in. To quote from a large and elegant poet who has sawed wood in his day; “Resplondent on her throne of green, Augusta sits, the fairest queen In ali the southland; far and wide, Her arws outstretched to meet the tide Of coming greatness, which shall fow Uuceasing as her forces grow In all that makes Auyusta great And magnifies the Empire stato. How proud she wears her golden crown, Her regal robe acotton gown, Her vower, the water whence she gains ‘The title under which she reigus, ‘Queen; t morrow she An Empress aud ® Queen will be." This poem may sound like a real estate advertisement, but I know the author did not geta cent ora town lot for it, though he got about a quarter section of real estate in his hair and clothes, while driving around the wide and wonderfully shaded streets of the subject of the lines. PLAIN HISTORY. Now for some plain history. Augusta was founded by a gentleman from England named Oglethorpe in 1735, and from having only one shirt to its back at that time, it now has 45,000, with cotton mills enough going in its limits to turn out sufficient mate- rial to make 750,000 a week, allowing three yards to the shirt, This may be a little “up’ards,” but not much. The town is at the head of steam navigation on the Savannah river, 231 miles from Savan- nab, and has » line of steamboats, which are used principally to maintain the interstate commerce regulations on the railroads. What Augustans hanker for and what they should have by all means isa dental operation on the river by Uncle Sam at a cost of $500,000 to remove the 1 nd give commerce an un- trammeled and triumphant course to the sea, Congressman Allen of Tupelo, Miss., and Congressman Cummings of New York, who were with the party, pledged themselves in sev- eral speeches over food and drink to secure this amount for Augusta if they had to get it out of the Treasury with a jimmy, or words to that effect. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. Inthe matter of growth and development Augusta is sister to the “boom towns” of the south, and town lots can be found for sale clean back into the tall timber, but they are not for sale near the town, where land s year ago, which was bought for $100 per acre, is now worth €1,00C, and some lots are sold at prices — to $2,500 per acre. Nor are these “fever” figures. They are actual value, now, and will be under actual value a hence. Augusta has had « newspaj the Chronicle, for 105 years, and Col. Pat Walsh has been its editor and proprietor since the beginning. It is nowa daily paper and Col. Walsh is a haughty Irish peer with a bank full of boodle, @ skull full of brains and a suit of clothes full of beauty. In this connection it may be wise to add that the colonel is paying for this per- sonal reflection at the usual rates for obituary Poqese ter mn because it will kill him when ‘URBAN BEAUTY.

In the evening Invitations were extended by Mrs. Branch toa Japanese fele champetre, and the fortunates went ‘dressed in their best suits of clothes” and they saw a vision of the night with all the younger fair of Augusta there, The lanterns swung from tree and shrub and baluster; on the garden wall were twinklin; lamps in blue and gold and purple ma! orange and crimson and violet; the soft south- ern breeze swayed the boughs of the willows which dropped their trailing branches to the murmuring fountain in the center of the grounds; out in the blue sky the moon in silver splendor hung to shed her glory down; the voluptuous music of the waltz in tempting 8 arose, and over the polished floor of the southern pine platform the beauty of Augus , the chivalry of Georgia and the glory and gallantry of the north moved in a melli- fluous melody of motion so entrancingly— Ah, there! That's enough of that! But the girls were very, very pretty, and if one’s pen catches the infection of beauty what else can it do but revel in the incom- parable luxury? Noxt day we wrestled with the grandest glory of Georgia, the pride of her past, the pleasure of her present, the power of her future—a bar- becue, It was given at “the locks,” the point where the water power of the city is let into a canal, seven miles long, from the Savannah, and it was beyond all power of pen or pencil, wit or wisdom to describe. Suffice it to say that from morn until dewy eve, the preparation, the poco aboens and the destruction continued and then a hush fell upon the festivities and the first touch of sad- ness was felt, for, from the locks, the next movement was to be toward farewell. And why protract it? We went back to town in a gondola pulled by a mule, whose speed was greatly accelerated by the singing of the ex- cursion choir, which the reception committee had requested to be turned loose for the pur- pose, Of course the poor mule rushed madly away at the first strains of the music, and hav- ing previously been hitched in front of the gondola by a long unyielding rope, the logical result is plainly evident, This canal, by the way, is another pride ot Augusta, It is seven miles long, cost a million or two, pays ten or twelve per cent on the in- vestment and furnishes ten thousand horse power at a rate so far below steam power as to put competition out of the question. The barbecue was so attractive that Col. ‘Taylor was obliged to hold the train an hour anda half for us, but we got itand got it in such a hurry that the sorrowful part of saying good bye was happily avoided, and the visitors moved out of town with cheers at every street crossing and a tiger on every corner, Once more on board every man set about devising ways and means of telling exactly what he thought of Augusta, of Georgia and of their people, without being accused of effusive enthusiasm and subsidized gush, but nobody could do it. The air was full of pleasant mem- ories and delightful thoughts with scarcely a shadow anywhere, and The night came down with a blessing And a tenderly whispered prayer, All love and kiud wishes expressinic For Augusta, the xood and the fair. Late in the night I heard a bloated republi- can talking to Col. Taylor and Ed Barrett. “Well, by gum,” he said, “I’ve seen one southern outrage anyhow, and a bad one, too,” “Rate,” they exclaimed, simultaneously, But I have, though,” he said, quite seriously, “When? How?” inquired Barrett, anxious “Right there in Augusta,” said the republi- can, “It’s that new government building—a handsomer one I never saw—and it was built within the appropriation, I understand,” “Yes, quite true,” responded Barrett, “And there's the outrage. Why didn't you blamed southerners make it cost $100,000 or so extra and divide the surplus among your suffer- workmen, contractors, &c., &c.. &c.” Then he grinned and Barrett and ‘aylor got up and bumped his head on the car seat, It had rained Saturday and the ghost of Thursday's dust was effectually laid, so that the homeward trip was even pleasanter than the reverse, notwithstanding the train was late and we missed connections at Charlotte and our coaches had to be attached to a vegetable train, Henry Villard was next to us, though in his private car, and if Henry could stand it we could, and did. At Lynchborg, after a supper was @ culinary symphony, we became a special, and flying along at 40 miles an hour a meeting was called and resolutions of thanks to Mr. Barrett, Col. Taylor, the Richmond and Danville railroad and Fred Handy were passed #0 unanimously that they had to make speeches in response, and the choir sang “Listen to My ‘Tale of Woe” in E flat minor. ‘At 2:40 Monday morning the train stopped in Washington and the excursion ended.
