AnecdOte or Disraeli's Wife.

A story is told of Lady Beacon
fields devotion to her lord and his
ambition, which if true is q touching
commentary on the usefulness OF
womanly affection. On one occasion
when Disracli was Chancellor of the
Exchequer, his wife accompanied
him to the Parliament House. 1t
was Budget" night--the most mo-
mentous of all sessions TO the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, for he had
to unfold his financial plans for the
ensuing year to critical and not too
easily satisfied House. Disraeli, rs
he took his place in the carriage,
was wholly wrapped up in his sub
ject and his figures: it was a crisis
in his career; If he failed this night,
he might as well take Wolscy's ad-
vice to Cromwell, "Fling away am
bition." His wife entered the car
riage also, softly, 80 as not to disturb
the thinker. In getting in, however,
her finger was caught by the door,
which, shutting upon it, jammed it
terribly and held it so fast that she
could not withdraw it. She uttered
no cry, made no movement: her
pain and agony must have been in
tense. There was the finger crushed
between the panels: to speak or to
endeavor to withdraw it, would dis
turb her lord-would drive the fig
ures and arguments from his head
So there stayed the finger, every
moment more painful, until they
reached the House; nor did Disrael
hear a word of it till long after tho
famous debate Of that night had be-
come history. All that evening the
faithful wife sat in the gallery, that
her husbands quick-glancing eye
might not miss her from it: sh'
bore the pain like martyr and lik'
woman who loves.
No wonder that by her husband
act she has become Viscountes
Beaconsfeld, she is bonored in En-
glands proudest castles, and ha
, taken her place in the hereditar,
: society as naturally and as easily a
=, if she had been "to the manne
born.--From "Ow Monthly Gossip,

From the Holly Springs Reporter
J. W. G. Watson.

In last week reporter, lnalllulnS
to a notice in the Canton Nail, re-
garding the position of Hon. j. w.
C. Watson, we stated that when Mr..
w. left for Virginia three weeks
before, "he was not in favor of sup
porting the Republicans"
The Jackson Clarion, August 10th,
contained the following;
"By an oversight, several names
which were authorized to be signed
to the Conservative Address, were
omitted--among the rest, Hon. j.
w. G. Watson, Of Holly Springs" "
Mr.. Watson, like a true son of
Mississippi, and sagacious states
man, comprehendst the situation, and
endorses what is now popularly de-
scribed as the "Dent movement
His name was, by an oversight
omitted from the list designers to the
Conservative Address"
(The conservative Address" al
luded to, is the Address of the l35
Representative men," datet Jackson,
August 5th, urging the People OF
Mississippi to "co-opperate with the
Republicans in the approaching
election.')
The Canton Mda, August 14th
thus replies to our article of the day
before
"The Holly Springs Reporter in,
forms us that we are mistaken as tc
the position which Hon. J. w. G
Watson takes. Since Mr.. Watson'i
name is authorized to be
signed to the address to the people
Of Mississippi, we can pronounce
the Reporter mistaken. Mr.. Watson
! takes grounds in favor of standing
. by the Moderate Republicans, or hi
name would not be signed to the ad

In order to place Mr.. Watson

Social Life In China.

In China, man and wife never
walk together arm-in-arm in public,
nor even side by side, but the wife
always follows her lord at respect
able distance, as the women do
among the American Indians. AT
social parties the sexes sit at differ
ent tables, occupy separate rooms,
and visit only among themselves.
Strangers of opposite sexes are never
introduced, nor do the women ever
speak to the men, unless relatives or
very intimate associates Of the fami-
ly. There is no such thing as social
life, in our sense of the word, among
Chinese. And all their social and
domestic theories and practices are
based on the idea of woman's infe-
riority and imsignificance. She is
regarded only as a servant and un-
derling, and in no sense fit to be a
campanion and equal of man. She
feels her inferiority, and in the main
submits cheerfully to her fate. The
idea of "woman's rights" has never
entered her mind. So thoroughly
is this feeling of inferiority ingram
ed in her nature that, in the only
book ever produced in China by &
female author, the proposition il
gravely stated and elaborately ar
gued and illustrated, that "womar
was made for the same purpose tina
tiles are-for men to tread upon
They are astonished to see the free
dom and equality allowed between
the sexes among Europeans, anc
argue strenuously against it, and
when vanquished in the argumen
they reply with their usual stub
borness and pertinacity, "May b
good for Mclean man; for Chin
man no good" Since the comm!
Of European ladies into China, som
of their women have begun to en-
tertaiY some little idea of thei
rights, and it has now become a pro
verb among the men that ''the mos
: dangerous things that can be i'm
ported into China are foreign VIC
men and foreign gunpowder." 4e
on the whole, the weaker sex az
; rather kindly treated, and, in gem
raj are not much abused.

NELLY's TEMPTATION AND PRAYER.
Little Nelly was five years old. Her
mother had taken great pains to in
still into her mind principles of right
and truth.
One day she stood at the door of
the dining-room, looking with great
earnestness at basket Of hne
peaches which was on the table.
Nelly knew she should not torch
them without leave, but the tempta'
ton was strong. Soon her mother,
who was watching her from another
room, saw her bow her head
and cover her face with her little
hands.
"What ails you, Nelly?' she
said.
The child started, not knowing
she was watched.
80, mother" she exclaimed, al
wanted 50 much to take one of the
peaches; but first | thought would
ask God if he had any objections"
Dear little Nelly, what path of
integrity and honor will be yours
through life, if, in all your conduct,
you seek to know your Heavenly
Fathers will; do no action upon
which you cannot seek his blessing.
