KITTY

Kitty, crueIlest of girls,
Turned away IN prize;
Down her shoulders shook the curls,
In a golden tide.
HaughtiIy she frowned on me-
L ke q mis6r old.
Would ntst give for charity,
One small lock OF gold.
Kitty, If a lovers prayer
Your hard hear deHfed,
Wherefore leave year scissors there,
Nesting at yoEf side
All, I know, nly pouting pet,
Stealing is a sin;
But small pity misers get
When the thieves break in.

which allows the entertainments at

especially if wines are included, is Of.

drinks being lemonade and coffee. The
character of the entertainment should
depend IN a great measure upon the

The Fetal rwenty-Flrst.

The extraordinary interest felt by
the Empress, Eugene in everything
connected with Marie Antoinette is
well known, aud is perhaps only par
slleled by the interest Louis XVI
took in the history OF Charles 1. A
commemorative service was celebra-
ted on Friday, the 2lst of January,
very probably at the instance of the
Empress, in the chapel of the Tuil-
cries.
The number twenty-one was Gu
riously linked with the fate of the
French monarch. On April 81, 1880,
he was married on June 81, in the
same year, a magnificent fete in hon.
or ofhis nuptials took place at Paris,
in the course Of which, by the fall OF
some woodwork, a nun Der of spec
tators were killed. On the 21st OF
January, 1881, there was a famous
fete at the Hotel de Vile to celebrate
the birth of the Dauphin on the 21st
of June, 1893, the fight to Verennes
began, and on the 21st of January
1708, be was put to death, in confor-
nifty with the report of the Commit
tee Of Twenty-one.

Then and Now.

The readers of the morning papers
would be quite indignant if, as they
sip their coffee, their paper failed tc
give them the digest of the news OF
the day and night previous, whether
of the fire next door, the Fenians on
the borders, the work in Congress,
the doings in New Orleans, in Lon,
don, Paris, Alexandria, St. Peters
burg and other quarters of the globe
more or less remote. Steam and
electricity have brought the sends
OF the earth" together, and the peo-
pie sit down of morning to house
hold review. Few stop to reflect on
the wonders of time ard space ami
hilated. There is no time for reflec-
ton. We have the effects, the caus-
es are of no account. Yet, it may
not be amiss to glance at the old
times and the present, Then and
Now. A bit of history will illus
trate.
Hostilities between the United
States and Great Britain, in their
last war, closed automatically with
the treaty of Client, on the oath of
December, 1914. The news of that
treaty did not reach Washinhton till
the 9th of February, 1915. On the
9Th OF January, ult., the battle Of
New Orleans was fought--more than
two weeks after the treaty was sign
ed. The news Of the battle did not
reach the government till the 4th of
February, five days before the treaty
was known. A "quick trip" from
w Arlington to New Orleans took
the news Of the treaty to General
Jackson, in nineteen days Of its re-
ception by the government.
These facts are matters of history.
They read strangely in these days
when the commonplace news of the
old world is read in New Orleans and
in every village in America, in ap-
parant advance of its concurrence.
This shortening of time and distance
lengthens life, amazingly; the man
OF thirty years, to-day, has lived lon
ger than he did of eighty, at the
close of the eighteenth century. And
we live so fast, we are hurried to
keep abreast with the world of whose
movements we are at once appraised
that we cannot stop to think how
much we are favored more than our
fathers. A man having business in
San Francisco, leaves the Atlantic,
transacts his business and is back in
a fortnight. Not long ago it would
have taken him months. He can
still further abridge by using the tel
egraph, and in fact live months in a
few minutes. The world is in hur-
ry; it has no place for the sluggard.
He who stops to think, gets behind.
The wonders wrought by the tele-
graph and steam are observed, an d
expected. They fill place in the
days drama ; we only think about
them when the place is vacant

s@-A Chicago paper says: We
took new repol ter on trial yester-
day. He went out to hunt items,
and after being away all day, return
ned with the following, which he said
was the best he could do: Yester-
day We saw a sight that froze our
muscles with horror. A hackman,
driving down Clark street at rapid
pace, came very near running over
nurse and two children. There
would have been one of the most
heart-rending catastrophes ever re-
corded, had not the nurse with won
derful forethought, left the children
at hons before che went out, and
providentially stepped into drug
store just before the hack passed. L.
Then, too, the hackman, just before
reaching the crossing, thought of
something he had forgotten and turn
ing about drove in the opposite di-
rection. Had it not been for this
wonderful concurrence of favoring
circumstances, doting father, low
ing mother, affectionate brothers and
sisters, would have been plunged in
to the deepest woe and most unu.-
terable funeral expenses. The new
reporter will be retained.

Woman's Rights in England.

The agitation for woman's politi-
cal rights is attracting q good deal
of attention in England, but doesn't
meet the approval of the leading
journals.
The London Times says In few
words, when the women of modern
times ask for "rights" they have rea-
son on their side, but the rights are
wrongly stated--a woman's best right
is the right to a natural protector
husband and that would carry the
rest along with it.
The London Morning Post says -
1t may also be possible to open to
them (women) some more profitable
fields Of industry than they now
have, but nature has defined their
position in society too clearly, and
has given them too important a part
to play in life to allow US to confound
the rights which belong to them with
others which do not without lower
ing them and lessening their infu-
ence.
The London Standard says: We
invite the women to consider the
matter IN their own interest. We
put it to them, as wives anxious for
the fidelity of their husbands, as
spinsters expectant to become wives,
whether such reform as Miss Helen
Taylor advocates political privilege
would be calculated for the good of
the sex.
The London Telegraph says: Are
we to see great-minded, high-souled,
pure-lpped women degraded in some
similar way by shouting in our mar
ket-places and polling-booths the
silly shibbOleths of an electoral mob ?
The London Spectator says; But
nobody attempted Cat recent meet
ing) to show that the mass of women
will at once bring fairly-steady and
disinterested political minds to bear
on the use of the suffrage, or that
they will not add 2 great multitude
to the vendors of votes.

Rev. DR.. Tyng's misunderstanding
"reminiscences.

Rov. DR.. Tying, Of New York,
preached an interesting sermon Sun
day morning last, on the duties, re-
sponsibilities and privileges of the
Christian minister. In concluding
his sermon he thought it wonld not
be out Of place for him to mention
his own efforts and their SUCCESS
He had reached the allotted age of
man, three score years and ten, and
twenty-five of those years had been
spent with his present congregation.
lie considered the seventy years
past as the greatest septennial de-
cade in the history Of man. 1t was
a great thing to have lived in such
an age, and it imposed great respon-
sibilities. After abiding to some Of
the great inventions and marks of
progress during that time, be spoke
Of Christianity. With the exception
Of three organizations, every Bible
and Mission Society had come into
existence during the present century.
DIR. Tying then spoke Of the privileges
which he himself had enjoyed. Du-
ring the twenty-five years of his min
istery he had only been detained from
his work for two Sundays, through
illness. There had been 1,074 con-
firmations, and 900 had renewed
their baptismal pledge. lie had sol
emnized GA marriages, and attended
officially $50 funerals. lie had made
over $4,000 PASTORAL visits, and
preached to more than 100000 peo-
pie. Over $75O,00O had passed
through his hands in the shape OF
contributions, an average OF $4,000
per annum for the first ten years Of
his ministry, and of $4,000 per an
mum for the last fifteen years-"a
sum not PARALLEL in the history of
churches" In conclusion, no feel
ingly alluded to the natural infirmi-
ties of age, and hoped to be able to
pass his old age with the flock he
loved so well.

A WOMAN SPEAKS AGAINST OMAN
SUFFRAGE.-PEoRIA, ILL.,, April 81
Mrs. G. Wheaton, of Kalamazoo,
Mich, lectured here last evening in
opposition to woman suffrage. Her
main arguments were that woman
bad as great a work to do in rearing
soldiers to fight battles as men had
in fighting them. The women who
wished the ballot for renovating pol
itics lacked faith in men. Women
in politics would breed trouble, dis
content and divorces at home
Housework was the great field for
the wants of woman. The speaker
would not trust the ballot with wo-
men, because the abandoned class
would exercise it freer than the 9TH
ers. In many States the rights of
the weaker sex are already better
recognized than those of men,
Where true affection exists, there
can be no desire on the part Of the
wife to hold property otherwise than
in common. The most alarming fea-
ture of the woman suffrsgists is free
lO7eism.

ulation in the following States:

Computing one-sixth of the popu-
lation as the number Of legal voters,
and the average increase in ten years
at thirty-three per cent, the number
Of colored electors now in New
York must be in round numbers,
about 5000 in New Jersey about
$500; in Connecticut 1917; in
Pennsylvania over 1900 in Ohio
5000, and in Indiana 1888.
If we were to apply the came
method of figuring in Kentucky, we
would find an addition Of over ST.
400 to the number of her voters. II
is quite likely, however, that the
next census returns will show that a
very large number Of colored men
have left the "dark and bloody
ground" since 1860, and sought the
protection Of justsr laws and a nsbler
people than their old time, and pres
ent oppressors.
III Delaware, the cclored vote, on
the basis given above, will be 1890
The Democratic majority in 1868 was
1857.
In Maryland there are =, zoo col
ored voters, In 1865 tho Democratic
majority was 81 9l9,
The more sanguine Democrats
claim that their party will eventually
control the colored voters. Perhaps
so. But not until some of the most
obnoxious members of the party pass
away, and oblivion has kindly sprin-
killed. its dust over some pages of
Democratic history. We think q
better day is coming, when the lost
cause will be buried and forgotten,
and the enfranchisement of the col
ored race will prove the enfranchise-
ment of those who have so long
bowed down and worshipped the
hideous old idols Of Democracy

FoRT SUMPTER TO BE REPAIRED
Fort Sumpter remains as it WAS left
at the close of the rebellion, but the
Engineer Department of the army
will soon, unless present plans are
changed, begin the work Of putting
it in order. 1t is proposed to use it
as battery rather than as fort, and
consequently the works will not be
rebuilt in the original dimensions, but
of less height and greater thickness,
so that it may more effectually with
stand any future bombardment.-
Much of the Original material is
available, and the expense of the
repair aud change will not DO great
