Golden Words.

The habit Of looking on the bright side
is invaluable. Men and women who are
CIV ermore reckoning up what they want
"a Their than what they have counting
the difficulties in the way, instead Of con-
irving means to overcome them-are IL
most certain to live on corn bread, fat
pork and salt fish, and sink to unmarked
graves. The world in sure to smile upon
4 man who seems TO be successful, but let
him 20 about with crestfallen air, and
the very dogs in the street will set upon
him We must all have losses. Late
frost will nip the fruit in the bud, banks
will break. investments will prove WORTH
less. valuable horses will die and chins
vases will break, but all these calamities
do not come together. The wise course
TO pursue, when one plan "a Is, is to form
another; when one prop is knocked from
| under Us, to fill its place with . substi-
tnte, and evermore count what is left
rather than what is taken. When the
| final reckoning is made, If it appears that
we have not lost the consciousness Of our
internal rectitude: il We have kept
charity toward ailmen; il BY the vari-
Gus discipline Of life, We have been freed
from follies and confirmed in virtues,
whatever We have lost, the great balance
sheet will Be In our favor.

A French Solomon 70 His Sen.
Paris Chiavari.l

Women love but once-shun that once.
Women hate in proportion to their
love.
Most women retain their virtue, but
many like to risk it.
Not all women lie, but no woman ever
tells the whole truth.
Hatred is at the bottom Of love, .
death is as the bottom Of life.
One always thinks he is in love when
going up stairs; coming down he is not
so sure Of it.
You cannot impede woman in her
love; you cannot recall the arrow shot
into space.
A woman is fortress which can al
ways be taken by him who knows how
to make the assault.
Mans vanity is irritated by defeat and
consoled with rupture. Womans
vanity acts in an inverse sense.
Ask not woman's heart; she has
but one and may give it. Of all fatal
presents woman's heart is the most
deadly.
Do not love romantic woman. She
will make an ideal Of you which you can
not realize, and which it will grieve you
to destroy.

A Touching Eastern story

The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Graphic tells the following:
A very touching and beautiful story
comes from the East concerning the
Princess Marceline Czartoryaka who re.
Gently died in Gallcia. Her little grand.
son fell very i'll and his life was despaired
of. The dowager in sublime prayer
asked God to take her life in place Of that
Of her grandson. By a sort Of miracle
the child was saved almost Immediately
the Princes was attacked by a malady Of
languor Of which it was impossible to
ascribe any natural cause.
sit is debt owe to heaven" she said
family. A few days later, upon radiant
afternoon, she had herself rolled out in
her easy chair ON the lawn, and gave or
ders to have all the doors and gates of
the garden opened SO that everybody
might enter. When the Villagers heard
of it they at once left their tasks. Old
men and women, yourg men and maidens
and little children pressed about the dy-
ing Princess, who had long been like
| mother to them, for she held the old
fashioned notion that the people are the
family of the sovereign.
Then began a most touching ceremony.
| Ihe children came first. Drawing the
youngest one into her arms, she en-
! braced it, saying, ''Let this kiss fall again
upon you all, my dear friends" Then
she gave each child medallion bearing
the evangelical words Love one anoth-
er."
| After the children came the young
girls and women. To each Of them she
gave little case containing implements
for needle work and chaplet and an
image Of the Blessed Mary. TO the men
she gave an ebony cross, and for each
gift and recipient she had appropriate
| words. When she mad extended her last
present she was so exhausted that her
son and daughter-in.law, who stood by
her, wished to have her wheeled back in
to the house, but she said no. She then
begged the people to recite in loud
voice the Dominica orison. Then. at .
sign from her hand, they all knelt, and
their voices in fervent tones broke out in
the recital Of the Lords prayer.
| As the amen still echoed in the air she
felt death invading her heart, and whis-
pering ..Mareel," the name OF her grand
son, the child was brought, and as he
was being carried to her lips her head
dropped upon her breast, and without .
sigh she rendered her soul to God. So
much for scene that seems taken from
poem an Ideal state Of society that
one can hardly reconcile with the pre-
sent.

which locusts were well mixed. Tho
soup had banished silly prejudice and
sharpened our appetite for the next les
son, and batter cakes quickly disappeared
also. Baked locusts were then tried
(plain 'hoppers, without grease or condi-
ment), and either with or without accom-
paniment, it was pronounced an excellent
dish. The meal was closed with desert

is highly satisfactory to those brave

THE RELATION OF CROPS 70
BALLOTS.

Isn't the Republican party RESPONSE
BILE for the rain.' is a question asked
by the Pttsburg Commercial. We have
no doubt of it: and we shall be lost in
wonder If the recent floods do not result
in the loss of thousands of votes To the
Republican party. Before the crisis, the
Republican orators used to point at the
harvest fields of the country, call attcn-
ton to the high price of wheat and corn,
and say to the farmers. "rhe Republican
party is in power. If you would have
these harvests and high prices continued
you must continue our party in power
Why should not the Democratic orators
now point to the flooded fields and the
little profit the farmer gets for his labor,
and say "The Republican party is in
power. Ifyou would have good times
again, you must put it out" In France
some one asked a citizen in one of the
rural districts: "How will you vote here
at the coming election:' The reply was
"if the grape crop is abundant, we shall
vote for the government; but If the oror
Is failure, we shall vote against it,
There is reason to believe our people are
of the opinion that the grape crop is a
failure, and that they therefore intend to
vote against the dominant party.

WHY ARu-SE HIM ?

The San Is Of the opinion that we have
done Governor Beveridgc injustice In
calling attention to the fact that he has
taken no interest in the Williamson coul.
ty assassinations. "Whv." cxclaims he
san, "should the BULLETIN cry oft
against Governor Bevcridgc for what It
conccivcs to be his lack Of interest In the
preservation Of good order in williamson
county? The General Assembly spent
nearly one-half of last Winter in talking
about the Williamson county outragcs,
but nothing was done. The Governor
was ready to do his duty, but the wise
body of Legislators believed that nothing
ought to be done. Did the BrLLgTIN
abuse them? Not Bit"
The san Is a very short-mcmoricd pa.
per. While the bill to appropriate a sum
of msLey to bc used in the suppression
of lawlessness in Williamson county,
was under discussion, we very earnestly
urged Its passage. and denounced the
failure to enact it. We believe the Gen.
cral Assembly should have taken in hand
the assassins OF Williamson, and have
crushed them out; and our representa-.
tives in this part of the State should have
passed bill that would more effcctually
have armed the Governor with power to
act in matters Of this kind. Their failure
to do so Is not feather in the cap of
either of them.
But, because the General Assembl,
failed TO do its duty in this matter, doe.

State remains actionless. lie says moth

THE MAYOR AND the COUNCIL

The for sometime threatened collision
between Mayor Winter and his Council
has at last occurred and the mayor has
not lost any prestige. lie has succeeded
in putting the Aldermen into very awk.
ward position.
The history Of the affair is about as fol-
lows:
The Mayor removed from Office Police
Constables Whitcamp and Schuster. He
did this by virtue of authority derived
by him from what is known as the May.
or's bill, which provides that the Mayor
of any city in the State may remove from
Office any appointed officer. lie must re-
port any removals, with a statement of his
reasons for making them, to the City
Council: and il two thirds of all the
members elect vote that the reasons
given for removal are not sufficient
the removed officers, by rctaking the
oath of office and filing new bonds, arc
by such vote reinstated.
At the meeting of the Council on Tues
day night, Mayor Winter reported his re-
moval Of whitcamp and Saltwater ron
\ once, and gave as his reasons for the re.
moval the following:
| !. Disobeying orders of Mayor.
2. Talking disrcspectfully of the exec
utive.
3. Complaints OF shooting tagged dogs
1. Going into peoples premises anc
killing dogs.
.. Threatening to shoot<1lrs. Gunshel
while protecting her dog.
9. For tyrannical exercise of theil
official duties as policemen.
By an almost unanimous vote the Coun
Gil decided that these "reasons" were moi
sufficient, and has by the vote declared
that policeman Of Cairo may disobey
the Mayor, talk disrespectiully abou
him, shoot tagged rs well as untagget
dogs, 60 upon the premises Of any cit
zen and kill dogs, threaten to shoot wo
men, and tyranically exercise their power
as Police Constablcs.
We do not believe the member, of th,
Council desire to occupy this position
but that they do occupy it--tliat tho
