Peter Cooper proposes to estab-
lish a free institute for girls at Lime
stone Springs, near Spartansburg,
South Carolins. 1t used to be 9
fashionable watering place, and the
property consists of 500 acres OF
land, upon which are q brick hotel
24O feet long and four stories high,
q church that viii seat 500 persons,
and ten other buildings. He has
bought the whole, to make it per-
manent home for the free education
of as many girls over IA years OF
age as it can accommodate. Peter
Cooper is the reckless old dotard
who tried to ruin this country in
1876, by running as the Greenbsck
candidate for President. Instead OF
boarding ALI his wealth, he spends q
million dollars at a time for Other
peoples benefit, and is evidently nc
| linancier.

The ChIVaIry Had 90 No Ht.
Mississippi has had to thank her
colored Senator for representing
the interests and rights of her peO-
pie. The legislature adopted reso1
lutions, by an overwhelming ma
iorify, instructing her Senators and
requesting her Representatives "to
vote for the act remOnetizing silver ,
aud to use their efforts to secure its
passage" Senator Lamar refused
to obey the instructions, voted
against the Matthew'S resolution,
and made q speech against remone-
tiz4tion. His colleague, Senator
Bruce, who is q colored man, sup
ports reconciliation, and voted for
the Matthew'S resolutions. These
facts gave the Democratic legisla-
ture of Mississippi great trouble.
The colored republican had faith
fully represented the expressed
wishes of his State; the white
democrat had defiantly disregarded
them. Great excitement prevailed
for time. A motion was made to
thank Mr.. Bruce. The Jackson
(Miss.) Times, democratic, says of
this dilemma: ..
"The Senate and House were
both exercised over the subject of
thanking Senator Bruce for his vote
in support Of Stanley Matthews
silver bill. The friends Of Mi.
Bruce seem to think that he is en-
titled to the thanks OF his constiLu-
ents for his vote on this important
subject. After considerable discus
sion the resolution was amended so
as to read: ave indorse the action
of Senator Bruce in supporting
Stanley Matthews silver resolution
In the United States Senate" Sem
ator Lamar's friends were q little
nervous on this question, a. they
thought the object was to reflect on
that distinguished gentleman"

School Lunches in Paris.

Daily, we have seen the children pass
our house on their way to school. AT
night the same return, each one bearing
a basket, which was not the case in the
morning. This article is too long
for mere lunch, and, as their books are

children are not dismissed till night and
are not allowed to take anything eatable
with them in the morning. After few
minutes, you will see them marched into

Whereupon, raising the lid, she dis
closed, first, a napkin in ring, then q
knife and fork, after which roll af bread,
slices of cold chicken, slender tall tin
pail, lastly, which accounted for the
length of tie basket-a bottle of winel
