others, comparatively poor. During the
present year this lady with her own
hands, and the assistance of such labor
as she hired by work done for the labor

bales OF cotton. Besides this she has
cultivated nearly an acre in sweet pota-
toes, from the sale of which she has paid

IF Martin Farquhar Tupper can't be
suppressed, we may as we'll give up the
idea OF Centennial celebration. That
Bishops diary almost destroyed faith in
the patriotism of Benjamin Franklin,
but we still had Washington to hold up
as an illustrious example. Now, how
ever. comes Tupper, boiling over in
blank verse, with the story that G. W.
started out with the idea Of founding a
dynasty, and shaped matters with that
end in view, till he concluded that it
would not work. AS evidence of this
the grinder of blank verse delves into
the chronicles OF Hampshire and brings
to light the coat of arms of the Washing
tons Of Wessyngton and shows it to be
the same as that adopted by the Ameri-
can nation. Tupper jumps at once to
the conclusion that this making the
National coat of arms conform to that
of the private escutcheon of the Chief OF
State, simply meant the founding of a
Royal House, ii the people would have
it, and, in his view, he is halt supported
by several leading journals in this coun-
try. By all means, let Tupper be tied
down till after our Centennial.

THE Mark Lane Express for this week,
the fairest authority on the state of the
European grain markets, but never
theless in the interest of the Eng
rlish importers, does not speak very
encouragingly of the immediate de-
mands for gr ain from this side. 1t says:
"The large.imports since the 1st of Sep
tember kept prices down, but we can
not expect the imports to continue while
rates are SO low. The business in Eu-
rope is seasorably dull, and prices are
barely maintained. At Paris and at
several provincial markets flour has
again dropped franc, and wheat one
shilling and sixpence. Belgium and
Holland are about one shilling lower
Vienna is dropping, and Odessa dull
holders maintaining high prices"

THE worst thing that has yet been
said about the present Cabinet is that
two of the members are stockholders in
the Chicago Inter- Ocean. If they do not
rise at once and deny this story they are
not the men the country took them for.
President Grant has not been given to
denying stories circulated with an in
tent to iniure him, but such one as this
would probablyibring him out. The two
Cabinet officers that own stock in pa
per and leave it in the hands Of men
with no more discretion and sense
ofpropriety than those who printed the
foolish canard about Babcock and Bris-
tow should be pointed out. Writing ed
itorials for the New York World is a
mild offense compared with this.

Roman Catholic church has estab-

settlers of the state beng OF that
faith. In the city and county of
Baltimore there are % churches,
besides three monasteries. several
converts, aud other religious es-
adjustments. The priests, nuns
and sisters who are being brought
from abroad to engage in the edu-
cauonal work report at Baltimore,
and are there detailed to various
parts Of the south. As an evidence
Of the energy with which the
church has entered on this work,
it is stated that in addition 10. the
Catholic schools already existing,
new ones are to be immediately ly
opened for colored youths as fol-
lows: Ten in Georgia, fifteen in
Alabama, fifteen in Mississippi, and
twenty-five IN Louisiana. They

THE FESTIVE FLEA,
And Its Favorite Playground.


The average woman hates a flea
with an intensity almost dIabolical
in ITS nature. She will pursue one
OF these little innocents with the
remorsclessness of a iicnd, and il
you ever expect To see beautiful
eXemplitcatlon OF womanly traits,
never look for it when she knows
flea is about. And III proportion

TO love, and IS never enjoying &C.

society. lie likes 10 seek her

reach the achme OF enjoyment un-
Til he can slyly accompany her To
church, and not make his presence
known until she has satisfactorily
settled her hounces Oh the cushion
seat, all ready to be admired and
make note OF now others look. And
then the flea begins his manipuia-
tions, knowing full well he has his
victim at Il disadvantage. Here
there can be no hasiy lingering of
skirts, no ASSUMING of unbccoming
postures while making frantic grabs
at the mischicvous and inaccessible
monster. One moment she feels
hlm scamperlng upward, when she
settles back quickly to catch him
between the back and the rail,
but all in vain--his flag is still there.
a dainty gaiter may run up

but all in vain. And the flea seems
to enjoy it,. Perhaps the flea has a
mate, and then the iady's anguish
is double. At one moment they
are playing tag, Mt another hide

reached, with one bound she Is IN
her own chamber, and there all
restraint Is cast aside. With light
ming haste off comes the barricades
behind which the flea found in
trenchment, and at last she stands
like a gladiator stripped for the fight
and then the fate OF the invader is
sealed. He is pursued with re-
morscless fury and the battle only
ends when the victor shakes alolt

so perish always the flea who dares

passion for farming, his brother
delights in music, still another en-
Joys using tools and solving math-
ematical problems. What tYlIy it
would be to subject these THREE boys
to the samo curriculum OF study,
and expect in this way TO make
the most of them as men. Not

who, understanding the abilities Of
their children, suit the training
