What is the greatest stand ever
made for civilization? The inkstand.
= Economical fathers of grown-up
daughters are growing over the fact that
there are ffty-three Sunday nights this
year. And it is leap year, too.
1t may not appear of any particular
personal interest to any of us, but it is
fact that there will be total eclipse Of
the sun on the 11th of August, 1899.
"No, sir" said weary looking man
on street car to an individual by his
side. ri wouldn't marry the best wo-
man alive. I've been dry goods clerk
too long for that"
The difference between the sexes
may be stated thus: ga man gives forty
cents for a twenty-five cent thing he
wants, and q woman gives twenty-five
cents for forty cent thing she does not
want"
= An Alabama editor, in putting a
grocery store kept by woman, says,
"'Her tomatoes are as red as her own
cheeks; her indigo as blue as her own
eyes; and her pepper as hot as her own
temper"
. Benjamin Franklin introduced
broom corn into this country. While
examining an imported corn whisk he
found single seed, which he planted in
his garden. From that seed the corn
was propagated.
: An old preacher, who had several
calls to take parish, asked his servant
where he should 60, and the servant said,
eco where there is most sin, sir" The
preacher concluded that was good advice,
and went where there was the most
money.
- A man and wife at Eatonton, Ga,
were remarked after two years of matri-
mony. The first ceremony having been
in some way informal, and the inheri-
tance of large amount of property de-
pending upon the validity Of their mari
tai relations, they called their friends to-
gether and had brilliant wedding, and
went off on honeymoon tour.
One day you will be pleased with
friend, and the next day disappointed
in him. 1t will be so to the end and
5ou must make up your mind to it and
not quarrel, unless for very grave causes.
Your friend; you have found out is not
perfect. Nor are you; and you cannot
expect to get much more than you give.
You must look for weakness, and vanity
in human nature; it is unfortunate if
you are too sharp in seeing them.
Ex-Commodore V. NJ. Randolph,
formerly of the United States Navy, died
at the home of his son at Blount Springs,
Alabama, on the 2Sth of last January,
at the age of senty-nine years. He was
commodore in the United States Navy,
but upon breaking out of the civil war
he resigned the commission and entered
the Confederate service. His advanced
age untitled him for active duty, but he
was for time placed in command at
Mobile.

of the characters gives definition in
arithmetic that will be quite acceptable
to our young lady readers. Edgar is
speaking to Pleasance:
"Now I kiss you three times on
one cheek, and four times on your
mouth. How many did that make alto

: Seven" whispered the girl, Olsen
gaging herself to breathe more freely.

NOT LOST /!

The look of sympathy, the gentle word,
Spoken so low that only angels heard;
The secret art of pure self-sacri6ce,
Unseen by men, but marked by angels eyes
These are not lost.
Tho sacred music of tender strain,
Wrung from poets heart by grief and pain,
And chanted timidly, with doubt and fear,
To busy crowds, who scarcely pause to hear
These are not lost.
The silent tears that fall at dead of night
Over soiled robes, that once were pure and
white;
The prayers that raise like incense from the
soul,
Longing for Christ to make it clean and
These are not lost.
The happy dreams that gladdened all our
youth,
When dreams had less of self and more of
truth, - .s,aG
The childhood's faith; so tranquil and SO
sweet,
Which sat, like Mary, at the Masters feet
These are not lost.
The kindly plans devised for others good,
30 seldom guessed, so little understood;
The quiet, staadfast love that stroye to win
Some wanderer from the ways Of sin
These are not lost. :.
Not lost, 0 Lord for in thy city bright
Our eyes shall see the past by clearer Light,
And things long hidden from our gaze below
Thou wilt reveal and We shall surely know
These are not lost.

:" ton yesterday In this city," Again,
"Quiet good order and confidence pre-
walled, rather in despite of the presence
"of the troops than because of it." Yet
because they failed to put enough bogus
tickets In the ballot boxes to effect their
purpose Of defeating the will Of the people,
the Petersburg Democracy, profting BY
the example of the Norfolk Democrats In
Goodies case, must needs call upon their
accommodating Returning Board or .
Democratic House Of Representatives for
help. If both of these fail the Inder says:
"There are yet other remedies which may
I" in last resort be adopted" which,
being interpreted, evidently means that
Congressman-elect Jorgensen must be dis
posed of by some convenient assassin. II
either means this or 1t means nothing, for
when the devices of stufing the ballot
boxes and the intimidation exercised by
employers over the colored voters in their
employment alike fail, our knowledge of
Southern Democratic tactics In the past
forces US to the inevitable conclusion that
murder is the "other remedy, which
may in last resort be adopted" Unfor-
tunately for the peace of the country, the
war ended without having properly dis
posed of the characters who compose the
leaders of the Democracy in the Fourth
district of Virginia. Tilden is not yet
President; the time, therefore, for "letting
loose the dogs of war" upon loyal citizens
has not come. 1t will be time enough for
display of Democratic vengeance when
that period shall arrive.

in most revclting manner with q razor
placed by his side for that purpose. and
the building was then set on fire. To es-
cape burning the poor man was compelled to
mutilate himself in the manner intimated.
This act was performed by chivslric Mis-
sissippians at the instance Of gallant %
Lcuisianians. This identical means was
resorted to in Macon county. Georgia, in
1870, as one of the methods Of building up
the nucleus of the "solid South" Such
are the men who belong to Tilden's con-
spiracy to rule the nation at the sacrifice of
thousands of loyal lives. The few white
Republicans left in the parish attempted
to put ticket in the field this year, but
were waited upon by prominent Demo
Gratis and informed that no Republican
ticket would be permitted. The super
visor of registration, whose fairness and
integrity Is indorsed by the entire
Democratic press of the State, was
run of, and the election held in
violation of all the forms of law. AT
that election, so far as heard FROM
not one Republican vote was allowed to be
cast Upon the pretext of breaking up
traffic in cotton, hundreds of White Line
cavalry, calling themselves Regulators,
proceeded to burn down stores, visited the
colored people in their dwellings and
cabins, and hesitated not at murder, with
the most fiendish accessories, in order to
strike lasting terror to this entire popula-
lation of Republican non-combatants. The
fearful array of victims of these bloody
raids, with the names of perpetrators, have
already appeared in the Republican press
of Louisiana. After the Lamsr-Gordon
victory in Mississippi in 1875 the parish of
East Baton Rouge promptly put in its
claims for the championship as the best
"nigger-killing" community, and right
well the "bull- -dozers," as they call them
selves, strove for pre-eminence. One hun
dred men and women were killed outright
in this county, and about two hundred were
brutally whipped with cowhides and their
bodies defaced by hot wax. On the day of
the assembling of the Democratic conyeu-
ton it was openly boasted that the last
petbagger had been driven from the
county. The last representative of North
ern civilization who was forced to leave
was Major Hustled, gallant soldier aud
cultivated gentleman. A few weeks later
five negroes were found hanglngto to as many
gate posts, and although they were subse-
quently buried under official supervision,
no record was made of the fearful tragedy.
These are bat few of the despicable
means resorted to by the "unterrifed" TO
add the Pelican State to the ''solid South"
and thus render it possible for it to be car
ried for 'Tilden and reform" Happily for
the country, the::villains were foiled in other
portions of the State, and Louisiana will
cast her vote for candidates who will see to
it that life is not held 80 cheap in that State
in the future.

stituted vehicle through which all kinds
of billingsgate is hurled at his devoted
head. Filthy adjectives flow through its
columns like slop from foul sewer. 1t Is
creditable to Mr.. Rsmsdell that he has

THE Southern Democratic press fairly
howls with disappointed rage over the po-
litical situation. For example, the Rich
mond WAig cries out in bitter anguish: -
"Grant, in sending troops to Florida to cap
ture the returns, commenced the revolution.
Where will it enda Won't he 'let US have
pesceP"
The Whig. it should be remembered,
claims to be Conservative organ, and yet
it has the boldness to give publicity to the
assertion that the election leturns in Florida
are to be captured This is precisely the
kind of Misrepresentation of facts required
to " fire the Southern heart" in prepara-
ton for another rebellion. 1t recalls the
Southern Democratic charge, made in 1860,
that Hannibal Hamlin, Republican candi-
date for Vice President, was negro.

The alleged prostitution in the South
of the telegraph to party purposes is
matter that will attract much attention,
and if the act Of the operators is not at
once promptly disayowed by the managers
of the Western Union Company and the
guilty parties summarily dismissed, the
company will find noticeable diminution
in its revenues. A large proportion Of the
business sent over the wires is of conf
dental and private character, and often of
the most delicate nature, involving the
business or domestic relations of the
parties. The public will naturally, and
Justly, reason that if confidence is betrayed
on political matters, business or personal
secrets are no longer safe. The principle
abandoned nothing remains but the whim
or caprice Of the operators. A knowledge
that no secret entrusted to the wires was
safe would diminish the business Of the
telegraph fully one half Mr.. Orion must
look to these charges.

THE spectacle of both parties quietly
submitting to the result Of close election
the election of either Hayes by one Or Til
den by two msjority-would be grand
and unexampled illustration of the solidity
of Republican institutions. The only
trouble now to be apprehended that would
prevent the fullrealization of this spectacle
is the refusal of the South to submit to an
honest count in the so-cslled doubtful
States The result of such refusal would
Mexicanize the country, and, for time,
renew the horrors of civil strife This can
be ayerted, however, and probably will be,
by the wise, consistent and determined
policy of the Administration regarding
Southern affairs

DAME RUMoR was never before so busy
in Washington as she is just now. The
natural suspense arising from doubts re-
garding the result of the election gives her
a magnificent and unprecedeutedly prolific
field of operations. First we hear that
Oregon, next Vermont, and then Wiscon-
sin will cast their respective electoral votes
for the Democracy. But the truth is, the
result hinges on the count in South Caro-
lima, Louisiana and Florida. If the count
in those States is honestly returned, Ruth
