IF THE SOUTH HAD WON
An Observer Who Thinks it “’ould How
Soon Discarded Sinner-y.
Here we are on the border of fluids
States,~with Catlettsburg. Ky.. a mile to:
the west, and Scranton. 0., just over
the Ohio River. We have just coitus
over the mountains and are resting a
few hours between trains in a larger
and finer depot than Richmond’s, al-
though this is only a crossing.
Just at this point, before crossing over
into my native Buckeye State, it is good
to stop and moralize a bit, and the wait
is long enough at least for that. We
have traversed some of the loveliest
country in the Eastern States; not bold,
bald crags and bluffs as in the Rockies,
but hills verdure-crowned to the sum-
mits; tall, rolling slopes teat rise
gently, not confused now with precipi-
tous haste. We have trailed alongside
the New River for sixty miles, until it
debauches into the Great Kauawha, and
marveled at the great boulders, some as
—great giants’ playthings, perhaps.
This all may not all be so wild and
rugged as the B. & 0. Railroad can
show along its line, where the Cheat
River flows, and one can look downward
from the flying train half a mile into
the charming valley, .but it is more
restful, and the readied 1's better bal-
lasted. Not a suspicion of rocking and
rolling; of the train and consequent sea-
sickness here on the C. 80 0.. as on its
sister system over the moun‘ains.
Bu: in the nidst of 1.11 aliis natural
beauty and bounty we have seen only
miserable huts, board shantics, not a
decent town. not a ray of civili; :tion 01’
progress having penetrated these pre-
cincts. It has been more or 1053 so all
the way through Virginia. and notably
West Vi? 111-1.. whose only decent town,
,so far, bccn its capital city. My
wife ate a lady in the depot and
frankly asks how they manage to live
here. "Oh, somehow we get along and
make z living. \Ve buy most every-
thing we eat in Ohio.”
What is the reason there is so much
difference bctvveen these and the north-
ern States? Simply because this is
"Secessia,” and it has been left with
the dregs of the war on it to curse and
dgfile it. Here is found the aftermath
of the late war. Here slavery, of course,
ceased, and the world came to a stand-
still in consequence—at least so far as
this “neck of the woods" is concerned.
It is the Panhandle of the South; but
the whole “skillet” is made of the same
metal.
What if the Confederacy had suc-
ceeded. Iam not'waving the “bloody
shirt,” mind you, but only guessing, as
all good Yankees can and should do.
The whole South (or “South,” as they
call it) would have been better and
brighter—and it is really half the coun-
try, in numbers if not in area. But
whether it would have improved at the
expense of other portions of the Union
is a question. We think not, for slav-
ery would have been “done away with"
by natural and rational causes by this
time, without doubt. It would have
evolved itself, perhaps, into a. better
condition, at least for the ex—slaves and
their progeny. without such sudden
change and rupture. W’hether slavery
was discontinued by war or by natural
causes, it is safe to say that we would
have been by this time sufficiently en-
lightened not to return to it. It is also
safe to say that the great majority of
the voters, both black and white, in the
South, or white voters alone (and they
govern in the South still, in spite of
numbers), would not return to slavery.
Existing conditions seem to suit all
classes now, and there is not sucl a red-
ical difference as one not on the ground
would suppose. The blacks still work
foranl serve the whites, and on such
wages as make independence impracti-
calne, and slavery, except for the senti-
ment of it, almost a welcome alterna:
tive. That nine-tenths of the l...l)or of
the South is performed by blacks is not
statemen"——:-.:eaning menial
a rash
mac-r.
It the South had prevailed, under new
republic had been set up, the dividing
line would perhaps be this panhandle
- of Virginia, omens}. to Canada. and an—
: other division at the Missigsippi River
’ later on, for the fabric would not have
i been strong enoughxiustituted by the
l minority, to have long remained intact.
Aaron Burr's scheme of disruption,
learly in the century, would have be-
? comea reality. .
i The Southern people would not have
I retained slavery long. They were not
wholly wedded to it. Few Southern
people were slaveholders. They werea
handful, like the Irish landlords or the
Mormon polygamists. Many of the
Southern people were opposed to it.
Beside. there were forces at work among
the negroes themselves that would have
helped them along. Slavery would have
been gradually dethroned and a. more
united sentiment between North apd
South would exist today—Correspond-
ence Hartford Courant.
Solomon and the Fool.
One day 'Solomon and a fool were
walking together.
“Solomon,” said the fool, “why is it
you never talk?"
' “Fool,” said Solomon, “that I may
listen to other people’s wisdom.”
And then after a pause:
“But why is it you always talk?"
"That other people. I suppose,” quoth
the fool, “may listen to my wisdom.”
Whereat Solomon held his tongue and
went home thoughtfully—Truth.

more) ER Pension ALLIANCE.
Daughter of Err-Secretary \Vhltney
and a Scion or the linxlse of Puget.
"The elder daughter of Mr. William C.
Whitney. Isiiss Pauline Whitney, is en-
gaged TO marry Almeric Hugh Paget,
who bedongs to the famous English fam-
ily of Pagers, and whose homeis in St.
Paul, 22112111., where he has made a great
deal of money.
Mr. Whitney has always held a fore-
most place in the public eye. His Wife
was a recognized leader in society. She
brought her husband many millions,
whichhe has greatly increased. She died
February, 1893. For many months she
knew that she must die, but by pure
force of will she attended to social func-
tions in order that she might properly
introduce in the fashionable world her
elder daughter,who is now to marry Mr.
Paget.
Miss Pauline Whitney has never de-
voted rnueh time to so. iety. Her moth-
er’s death and her own ill health have
prevented. She is about 29 years old
and has a fine dark face and great charm
of manner. She is one of the most at-
tractive young women whom New York
society has known. She and her father
have been constant companions. She
went to school at Dobbs Ferry when she
was fourteen. She was a very close
student. .
Much ancestral glory surrounds the
family of Paget. The founder of the
Til ~
family was knighted by Henry VIII.,'
who gave him the title of Lord Paget
and the Order of the Garter
ces as Secretary of State.
for servi-
W’HITNEY.
From that time to this the name of
Paget has been a great one. In the mid-
dle of the last century there was no male
heir and the name might have become
extinct had not an act of Parliament per"
mitted a son of Lady Bayleg, who was
heiress to the estates and a Paget by
birth, to assume the name and arms of
his mother‘s family. He was summoned
to the House of Lords as the ninth Lord
Paget.
Those who know the VVhitneys are
sure that the distinction of family or the
family estate, consisting of 60,000 acres,
or the fine country 'seats of Baudesert
and Plas-Newydd had but little influence
with them. They think much more of
the young man’s personality and achieve-
ments.
In the first place he is a remarkably
fine looking man. He is tall, slenderand
active. He has a. black mustache and
the most charmingimanners. Men par-
ticularly admire him.
When he was old enough to under-
stand things he came to the conclusion
that the family estate was not big enough
to go around so large a family and that
a younger son hadn’t much opportunity
in England. Almeria Paget was only 16
when he came to this country.
He went to the far West immediately
and worked on a ranch—worked hard
and honestly, learned things and made
himself liked.
When a young Englishman belonging
to a very celebrated family makes up his
mind to make money he usually doesn’t
know how. Young Paget made up his
mind to lezzrn. He went to St. Paul and
engaged in the real estate business. Now
there we; time when anybody could
make money in real estate in St. Paul.
But the men who kept the money they
made in the boom are so few as to be
greatly distinguished. Mr. Paget was
one of the exceptions.
This proves him to be a man of rare
ability an: jrn‘lgment. He discovered
that his: .ix;,_;;lish connections were of
value. )5! went to London and inter-
estcl cit-2:. -;..,u)ple in the making of in-
vestmen's. 3:10 handled the money so
well an. ..; .Zzze i such large returns for
it that he w:..< made the representative
of a large English company. He is only
30 years old. and his own efforts have
made him a comfortably rich man. He
is an ad-ztxprc l. American of the very best
kind and intends to continue to live in
this coun try. ‘
Her Snsyficlon Aroused.
She got off the Indiana train with a
big bundle that she could hardly man-
age, and as I 111:. l nothing to do I took
pity on her and offered to carry it to the
ferry dock. in which direction she seem-
ed to be going.
She acquiesced, and we wentto the
dock. On arriving she took out her
,purse and handed me a dime, with the
remark that it was not much of a. walk,
but she thought it was worth a dime. I
thanked her, and told her that my ser-
vices would be free. at which she asked
me what I carried her bundle for if not
for pay. ,
“ h, I thought todo you a favor,” I
replied. ‘
“Tain‘t natural, ’tall,” she replied.
“Well, I can’t take your money,” said
She studied a minute and then said:
“I can’tfimake out whether you intend
to pick my pocket or steal my bundle.
Young feller, you’d better stop your
bad-ways or you’ll go theibad place.”
“I’ll do it,” I replied.
“That’s right.” she said, “do it, and
when you come over to Indiana. you jest
inquire for Mrs. Jones, and I’ll give you
a good dinner. If I ever hear of you
getting hung. I’ll tell folks that you had
a good streak in you anyhow. ”—Louis-
