FAIR AND HoNEsT.-The candor
and fairness with which Hon. M. G..
George treated all questions in his
speech on Saturday in this city, re.
ceived the highest encomiun.s of the
many Democrats present on the oc.
casion. And we venture the asser.
ton that the handsome manner in
which he referred to Gov. Wbiteaker
has not counterpart in the political
history of the State. He said that
so far as the charge OF bribery against
Mr. Whiteaker was concerned. he
knew nothing +; the charge was made
by prominent Democrats; he (George)
personally had no knowledge of any
such transaction. Mr.. George is win

French Marriages.


FIGURES" d" said the late Sir Robert
Peel; "you can prove any thing by fig
ures." NJ. Legrand, accordingly, has
no difficulty in proving that marriage in
France is not altogether as it should be /;
had it been so his work, lie Marriage et
les Meurs en- France, would never have
been written. Things can not be quite
right when the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences " offers prize for
the best essay on Matrimony, and how
TO improve the conditions, moral, social
and legal, under which it is entered on. -
Ten years ago M. Legrand got this
prize, and he kept his essay until now,
publishing it in much enlarged form,
and bringing his statistics, ETC., up to
the present date. 1t is, therefore, quasi
official; for the Academy of Moral and
Political Sciences stands on q different
footing from our Social Science Con-
gress. Some of his figures are startling,
and we have not our own Registrar
Generals tables at hand whereby TO
check them; but of course they have
been checked by those who " crowned q"
his essay.
The fact which makes thoughtful
Frenchmen anxious is that, while the
marriage rate is not lower, nay, is even
slightly higher than it was, the birth
rate is alarmingly low, and gets lower,
instead of rising. There were actually
more births at the beginning of the
century, with population OF only 27,-
600, 200, than there were in 1860. Be-
tween 1900 and 1915 the number of chill
dren per marriage averaged 424. 1t
sank gradually till 1860, averaging only
sos for the years between 1855 and
1860; between 1860 and 1865 it rose to
3.O8. Tantalizing, as, indeed, such ia.
bles generally are, this particular table
ends with 1865, and we are left to NJ.
Legrand's assertion that the decrease is
still a sad fact, and to another table
which shows that the birth for every
hundred inhabitants have averaged dur
ing the last forty years 2,62. Theworst
year was 1871, when, owing to the war,
the average sank to 2.26. In 1872 it
rose to its highest, 267. In 1877 it was
2.55, the same as in 1850.
OF marriages the French average for
the last ten years Is Ss for every hun
dred inhabitants. II was go In 1870, Y
in 1871, 93 Qts highest) in 1872, when
the war and its results were well-nigh
over. As with us, the matrimonial
barometer Is, from year TO year, a deli
cate test Of the national prosperity or
depression. There is no complaint,
however, Of the small number of mar
riages; it has risen since 1900, between
which year and 1850 the average was
not quite 10. Nor does France in this
respect stand badly as compared with
other countries. There are actually
more marriages per cent. in France
than in England, M, Legrand's table
(undated) gives as follows; In Hun
gary, 1.08 marriages for every 100 in
habtants; in Russia, 100; Germany,
97i Austria, 90; France, ss England,
SO; Holland, SO; Italy, 79; Scotland,
rs Greece, 6s; Roumsnia, So; Ireland,
AZ. So that there are twice as many
marriages in France, for the population,
rs in Ireland, which we used TO look on
as the most marrying country in Eu-
rope,-LoadOR Echo

Religion is Practical.

SOME people there are who make
their life dreariness and a barrenness
by speculating when they ought to
work, by neglecting or refusing to lead
Christian lives because there are un-
fathomable mysteries in being, and in
finite opinions concerning the unknown
things of eternity. "What thou know
est not now thou shalt know hereafter"
is not a oonsoing promise to them.
They are schOolboys who will not learn
letters because libraries appal their inn
aginations laborers who stand idle be-
cause their work, whether a bridge or
house, is certain to perish; husband
men who sow no seed because they can
not understand the processes of growth;
children who will not walk until the
motions Of the planets are explained to
them. The analogies are slenderly
drawn; but in real religious idleness
or sinfulness the analogies are far more
slender.
Religion is a matter of life. 1t is in
tensely practical The speculation
(called thinking) that men build around
it is usually no part of religion. Take
it all down, and the everlasting moral
law, and the need of everlasting love,
will still remain; and every notion of
the soul or hand will have its two poles
of right and wrong and its central sun
of loving light and warmth. And, as
in things called practical and every day
matters, in matters Of religion also it is
folly to waste energy and loss of time
in speculation. Any laborer has infinite
insoluble (by him at leasD mysteries in
his hands. If he pause until he UNDER
stand these things, he will never know
them. So, whoever insists that there
shall be no mysteries in the things of
God, and no strife of tongues still
laundering round the world, when he
begins to love and serve God, this man
will be sinner until the day of iudg-
ment.
just such practical needs as those
which prompt men to SOW the seed,
urge men to be righteous in life and
perfect in love. The next meal must
be provided by the laborer; the next
minute will demand Christian grace.
Living well is a stream OF an inner
fountain whose waters must be sweet
ened by divine influences. And there
is the same practical argument for re-
ligion as for the commOnest practical
work. IL IS experimental; and in each
realm the experience of others ought to
guide us. That the seed will multiply
itself when cast into the earth is pure
ly experimental fact That the soul
seeking Christ's power finds new and
sweeter fountains in its own life-this
is also thing of experience. The good
men and women around us are, like the
harvests of our neighbors, practical
motive to Christian living.-M Y. Mett-
Odist.

Profits Of Cotton Raising.

ADVANTAGEOUS as II would be for the
South TO diversity Its agriculture by
making grain, grass and roots impor-
tant accessories 10 their leading staple,
it must be difficult TO impress the inn
portance of the fact upon planters as
long as the immediate profits Of cotton
growing continue to be what they are
claimed 10 be. A South Carolina planter
states that the whole cost of planting
and cultivating an acre of cotton and
ginning the product and delivering II on
a railroad is about Sll. The average
yield per acre in the South is l9l pounds,
so that the cost Of raising it is about
81 cents. Last season the planters in
that State sold their crops at an average
of IL Id cents, making profit Of IL
cents a pound, which. computed on an
estimated crop of 5000, 900 bales, of 450
pounds each, gives an aggregate profit
of Sl24, 600, 600. 1t is hard TO persuade
Southern farmers 10 reduce their plant
ings of staple that yields such large
profits as this, and always sells for cash,
aud turn share Of their attention to
crops whose profits are smaller; and il
is not surprising, therefore, TO learn that
planters, encouraged by The good prices
of the last season, are preparing 10 raise
larger crop than ever before. In
South Carolina they are making ar
rangements 10 plant half as mu h more
ground than they did la.t year, and the
same may be sad Of he rich Lower

The Recent Remarkable Tornado.

As further details OF the storm Of Sum
day night reach us, it takes character as
one of the most remarkable, as well as
one of the most destructive, on record.
COllating, as far as possible, the various
imperfect accounts that have come to
hand, the waterspout action-or what
ever other designation may be given it
appears to have begun on White
River, about $3.50 o'clock. At that
time a high southwest wind was blow
ing, having sprung up an hour or two
previously, and the formation of water
spouts appears to have occurred stimuli.
taneously over an area extending about
fifty miles in an easterly and westerly
direction. Throughout this extent sew
eral water-spouts rushed up the northern
tributaries of White River in north
easterly direction, sweeping over Taney,
Stone and Barry Counties, and, gather
ing fury in their course, wrought their
greatest destruction at the dividing
ridge between the waters of White and
Usage Rivers, On this ridge the towns
of Springfield and Marshfeld are situ-
ated. The former city was barely missed
by the water-spout which swept up the
James River, but the latter was not so
fortunate. The Marshfield disaster is
said TO have occurred about six O'Clock,
while at FIVE O'Clock the town of Lick
ing, in Texas County, some fifty miles
east of Marshiield, was destroyed by an
other waterspout. 1t is probable both
these towns were destroyed about the
same time, the reported difference
being due TO inaccurate observation.
North of the dividing ridge we hear
nothing of water-spouts until we reach
Burnettsville, in Morgan County, which
was destroyed at $3.50 o'clock,
precisely the same time at which the
storm was doing its destructive work at
Licking and Marshfeld. Through Cole
and Galloway Counties water-spout
passed at $3.50 O'Clock, and ex-
aotly the same hour water-spout action
is reported on the southern slope of
White River Valley, in Arkansas and
the Cherokee Nation. Fayetteville,
Ark, was partially destroyed ut
$3.50 O'Clock, the city being situated
some sixty miles southwest of the
origin of disturbance. 1t thus APP
pears that water-spouts we're form
ing for period of about three
hours, though the grand burst occurred
at the beginning. That which followed
the course Of the James River did mort
damage than all the rest combined. By
it alone over one hundred persons were
killed or fatally injured, and property
20 the value of 100000 destroyed. The
total number killed in the various visit
ations win probably exceed one hundred
and fifty. The water-spOut belt, if we
may use the term, was in the middle OF
n gale over three hundred miles wide,
blowing furiously toward the northeast,
and which did considerable damage out
side the district of special violence,
