REPUTATION. We are unslterably opposed

REPUTATION. We are unalteraby opposed
to it. Honor is worth more than anything else
to an individual, and so it is with State. The
State must pay as fast as she can. Should she
repudiate her just debts, vast plumber OF her
citizens, at home and abroad, would be asham-
ed of her. Even some who now advocate re-
pudiation would in few years repent Of it.
I'VE had rather be poor and honest than rich
and dishonest. The noblest end an individual
can have in view is to pay his debts. An honest
man will want to live to accomplish that end.
So we think the greatest pride OF every Virgin
ian should be to pay his portion Of the State
debt. tits not only the correct principle but
policy dictates that the State should not repudl-
ate. -DanuIle Times

What Lace Costs.

lift is no longer worn by men over the
tops of their boots, there are still wedding
orders received at Alencon for $50, 900
worth at a time, and considerable, though
smaller sums are expended at Honiton, in
Deyonshire. For Valeneiennes, made at
Ypres, $50 per metre is paid, but the lace
maker, working twelve hours a day, can
only produce oae-third Of an inch i'll
week. Every piece of Alencon passes
through the hands of twelve workmen.
the best Brussels thread is spun in cells
under ground, because the dry air above
would cause the thread to snap. Upon the
worker. as she sits i'm the dark, is directed
one ray of light, but the thread is SO fine
that her delicate fingers are better guides
than her eyes. Very many lose their sight,
and the high pay the lace workers earn is
nroportionate TO the acknowledged uil-
heal,hiness of tho occupation. The hand
spun thread made at Brussels OF flax OF
Brabant costs before it is yet made mp into
lace $1,000 pound, and the process OF
| manufacture more than doubles the value.
Old lace is more variable in price, and some
of it can be counterfeited by limitations.
OF some varieties, however, the secret is
| lost. as of point d Agentan, which contin-
! ned to be made upon the banks of the Orne
till tile French revolution stopped demand
for time, and gave the peasants other
means Of earning their bread.

Mark Twain at II Hartford Spelling
Match.

Ladies and gentlemen: lave been hon
ored with the office of introducing these
approaching photographed solemnities
with few remarks. The temperance
crusade swept the land some time ago
that is, that vast portion of the land where
it was needed-but it skipped Hartford.
Now comes this new spelling epidemic,
and this time we are stricken So suppose
we needed the atfiiction. [ don't say we
needed it, for | don't see any use in spelling
a word right-and never did. | mean |
don't see any use in having q uniform and
arbitrary way of spelling words. We
might as we'll make all clothes alike and
cook all dishes alike. Sameness is tiresome;
variety is pleasing. l have a correspond
ent whose letters are always refreshment
to me, there is such breezy, unfettered
originality about his photography. He
always spells Kow with q large K. Now
that is just as good as to spell it with a
small one. 1t is better. 1t gives the i'm
agina ton broader field, q wider scope.
1t suggests to the mind grand, vague,
impress sive, new kind of a COW. Superb
effects can be produced by variegated spell
ling. n ow there is blind Tom, the musical
prodigy. He always spells word accord
ing to the sound that is carried to his ear.
And he is an enthusiast ia erthography.
When you give him word he shouts it
outputs all his soul into it. I once heard
him called upon to spell orang outang
before an audience. He said 20, RANG,
ger, ger, Granger, tang, tang, orangger-
tang." Now body can respect an orang-
outang that spells his name in vigorous
way like that. But the feeble dictionary
makes mere kitten of him. In the old
times people spelled just as they pleased.
That was the right itiea. You had two
chances at a stranger then. You knew n
strong man from weak one by his IRON
clad spelling, and his hand d-writing helped
