PERHAPS there is no possession in life
like that of sister-a sort of second
self, to whom one may say ones say,
confident that it will be as secure as if
unsaid; from whom one may hear home
ly truths, with the certainty that they are
dictated by no petty spite or jealousy !;
from whom one may receive compli-
ments, assured that they are't the sincere
expression of opinion, and not the
thoughtless adulation of those who ex-
pect to be repaid in the same coin, with
interest. A person destitute of sisters is
almost as much alone in the world as the
Wandering Jew; Ter father and mother
may be models of their kind, but they
are not her contemporaries, so to speak
not of her generation; she has not
played doll with them. She may adopt
a cousin or a friend to fiji the vacant
niche, but no friendship or cousinly feel
ing is ample enough. Our cousins and
friends are apt to talk us over with each
other; they are not always charitable to
our little faults; our short. .comings are
not pieced out by any skill of theirs we
are at the mercy of their moods and
lenses, and our idiosyncrasies are at the
mercy of their sense of humor; but a
sister is bulwark between us and 'sthe
arrows of outrageous fortune" She
makes our troubles her own; whatever
hurts us wounds her she abets and ell
courages us |; extenuates our faults, pub
fishes our virtues. In every family of
sisters there is one brighter than the rest
who gilds the ignoranoes and lack of
brilliancy OF the others; one prettier
than the rest, for whose sake the others
receive attention one stronger than the
rest, upon whom they lean, and thus they
bolster and shield each other. The sis
terless girl never tastes the flavor of sis
teri J talks latter the ball." or over the
work table. In affairs of the toilette she
has few to aid her, and often presents
the appearance of dowdiness for lack of
little genuine advice. A sister desires
nothing SO much as that one should look
ones best; friend is sometimes better
pleased when one appears at ones worst.
Moreover, sistere are rarely jealous
praise of one reflects upon the other
blame of one is only backhanded insult
to the other, since they hold everything
in common. Rue does not care to be
fiattered at the expense of Lilly. The
beauty would like to share her loyeiiness
with the plainest; does not enjoy shining
unless har sister strikes sparks, whom it
is no pleasure to rival in any respect. To
be sure, there is an exceptional sister
who is more ike ohangeling than any,
thing else, who betrays condolences, es-
tranges lovers, demands the lions share
of everything but work, aud shirks care:
but she is more rare, thank Heaven, than
four-leaved clover, aud we are more
likely to find her in novels than in real
life.-Harper's Bazar.

A LUDICROUS BLUNDER.

The Duke of Wellington was once
sorely puzzled. He ereceived letter from
lady to whom he was under social obli-
cations, requesting the gift of pair of
his Waterloo breeeheS. He read the
letter with amazement. What could the
lady be thinking of? What use could
she possibly have for his old breechesl
Was she collecting museum of curiosi-
ties, and wished this memento of a great
battlel He consulted some of his friends
as to her mental sanity, but they could
recall no evidence of eccentricity in her
previous life. They were as much puz-
zled as he at the oddness of her request.
The duke, however instructed his ma
jor-domo to look up his old clothes, and
see if anything remained from the Water
loo campaign. But as nothing could be
found, he sent note to the lady, with
regrets that the breeahes had been de-
stroyed, but begging her to ask any other
favor within his power to grant. Her
perplexity equalled his own, for she had
intended to ask for Waterloo teeches, a
new kind of ornamental tree which the
duke had introduced on his estate.

A Strange Dream.

A young lady up North had lover
whom she agreed to marry, but she
subsequently refused to do SO. He
came South and died. Her dream
she thus described: "She stood at
night upon an eminence overlooking
rushing, icy stream. Dark clouds
obscured the moon, and the air was
damp and chilly. Soon she decried
in the semi-darkness a boat, with a
single occupant, floating with terrific
rapidity toward an immense cataract.
The mans face she could not see !;
but he was gcsticulating wildly, as if
imploring snccor from the fate that
impcnded him. On, on went the boat ;
faster and faster grew its speed !;
wilder and more despairingly still
were the gestures of the unhappy
man until just as the frail bark was
about to go over the brink Of the
awful cataract into the sccthing wa
tcrs below, the occupant turned, and
she recognized the face Of her lover,
while n voice rang out from the
clouds: 'AnotlIer soul lost, lost-and
charged to you J." The young lady
became crazy, shot her father and
then shot herself. This is true, and
Of recent occurrence. The lady was
Miss IIovey, and the lover Eugene
Reanes, both Of Lyons, N. Y. Was
there ever story more tragical.

The Neuro.

OF the social life of the Southern
negroes, the New Orleans Picuyunc
says: "There is not more social
race under the heavens than negroes.
They have much more social enjoy,
mcnt than the white people do. They
naturally elaborate social enjoyment
out Of all kinds Of gatherings-even
funerals, baptisms. and religious meet
ings, as we'll as balls, picnics, railroad
excursions, parties, politics, etc.
They do not desire to minglc socially
with the white people, They are as
partial to their color as crows and
blackbirds are. They don't even
want white preachers 10 preach to
thcm-even Radical preacher, only
in exceptional cases."

]. II. RunkIe.

No doubt many of our readers re
member-on j. III. Runkle, ore of the
great lights Of radicalism when tha,
patty held high carnival in this State.
He was elected Solicitor in the Fifth
Circuit and lived in Columbia, where
lie committed suicide iii 1877 by
shooting himself. Not long since a
person visited his town soliciting
subscribers to book purporting 10
give the lives and villianous nets of a
number of Western desperadoes, and
among the list Of its heroes is the
name Of ~. Il. RunkIe, who killed
himself in Columbia, 5. c., in 1917"
And Of such was the Radical p"r,y
composed in South Union
Times.

Opposition to a Third Term.

The growing opposition to third
term is developing much strength,
with the Republicans in all sections
of the North, and Grants pros,
poets are corrcspondingly waning.
Sherman has expressed willing.
ness TO accept the nomination if
Ohio goes for him with unanimity
In fact lie may be considered as real
~ cn the anxious bench. Blaine is
still prominent, but it appears to us
that Washburne has the inside track
with prospects Q: winning. The New
York Tribune, the King Radical pa.
per OF the North is strong against
Grant, and charges him with the dis.
lntcgration Of the Republican party
in the South, and thinks he would
smash the whole machine if he were
allowed to run it for another term.
The New York Herald and the Sun
each express strong opposition to him
in nearly every issue of these papers.
1t now seems pretty certain that
Grant will be defeated.

John Sherman.

This gentleman has undertaken 10
account for the opposition of the Chi
cago Tribune to his candidacy by
showing that it is because OF his refusal
to allow Mr.. Mcdll, the editor Of the
Tribune, to bullioze him into chang
ing his financial policy in the winter
of 1878. Mr.. MediIl proves from
Sherman's records and the files OF the
Tribune that at the very time named
the two were in entire accord both op-
posing the repeal of the resumption
and both flooring the reconciliation
of silver, as one of them, the Tribune
does yet. This seems to dispose of
Sherman, but what could The Tribune
expect Of the man who solemly as
succd the country of the good charac-
ter Of the scoundrels in the Louisiana
Returning Board?

Too Long a Campaign.

Senator M. G. Butler to citizen OF
Chester in which he expresses grave
apprehensions as to the propricty OF
the action Of the State Executive
Committee in calling the State Con
vcntion to nominate q State ticket as

Butler thinks that campaign OF five
months will give the sore heads, or
independent element. ample time 10
work up an organized opposition to
the regular ticket. The people will
become wearied and lose enthusiasm
in so long a campaign. Besides these
disadvantages long campaign will

thinks that the campaign should not
be longer than six weeks or two
months.-Chcstcr Reporter.

A Dying ism.

Female suffrage, the only "ism"
left to New England, appears for
some reason or another to be pretty
we'll abandoned even in that section.
The subject came up few days ago
in two of The most advanced and
Puritanical Of the New England
States, when it's advocates received
such an overwhelming defeat thatit is
not very probably they will renew the
assault in a very short time. In
Rhode Island it was proposed to
amend the State constitution so as to
allow women to vote on questions
atfecticng the schools but it was
beaten two to one. In the Massa-
chusetts House Of Representatives a
general female suffrage bill was re-
jected by vote of one hundred and
:hirty-seven to sixty. Nine years
ago in the same body the vote on o
similar proposition was q tic. This
looks rather blue for the so-callcd
friends Of ''progress bu. the real
reasons for the defeat of the measures
are to be found in the fact that the
chief parties in intcrest-thc women
themselvcs-have no desire to be adj
mitted TO the inestimable privileges
Of the ballot box. When they make
up their minds in Massachusetts or
any other State that they want to
vote, and demand it, it is safe to say
that the privileges will not he long
withheld from them.-N. Y. Hcruld.

A Brave Girl.

The Covington Star says that q.
certain young lady not a thousand
miles from that place utilized her
leap-yea: privileges and "poppcd the
question" to her sweetheart few
weeks ago and was accepted provided
the old folks were willing. They OBJ
jected however, when the girl with
commendable gallantry, stole the
young man away, eloped with him 10
the residence of the village parson
hard by, where they were ''spliced''
in the holy bonds of wedlock in the
neatest possible manner. Now girls,
here is an example in leap year privi-
ieges which is at lest worthy of con-
sideratiou. Next.

A Man His Own Grandfather.

The New York Truth says man
was recently sentenced to ten years
imprisonment for having two children
by his daughter. His relationship to
those children and their mother will
probably not interest him much the
next ten years, but the Uerau ii might
vary its monotonous block puzzle in
vestigation by minute inquiry into
this relationship. For instance, he
is the father Of the children, but be-
ing also their mothers father, he is
their grandfather and rs their father
is their grandfather, it follows that
their mothe: is their grandmother,
who is consequently the mother Of
either their father or mother, and
hence must be her fathers mother if
she is not her own. AS it is impossi-
bic for 4 woman to be her own moth
cr, it follows that she is the mother
of her father, who being her son is
her fathers grandson, and he being
her father he thus becomes his own
grandfather. But as lie is the grand
father OF his daughters children, and
also his own grandfather, they are
his great.great grandchildren. To
be the great-great grandfather Of his
own children, the son of his daughter,
and his own grandson is a distinction
for which ten years in the pcnitentia-
ry is cheap purchase.

Support Democratic Nominees.

In entering upon this the most i'm
'portant political campaign We have
ever had ia this State every Democrat
should regard the success of the Dem
ocratic party paramount to every 9th
or consideration. or course every
one will have his preference as TO who
shall be our standard bearer, but in
nrging the claims of certain men for
office there is no necessity for abusing
.others whose claims may be urged just
as honestly by other good Democrats.
1t is not right for any Democrat to
insist upon the nomination Of his par
ticular choice for any Office and refuse
to support any other who may he
nominated. Our zeal for one candi
date should not cause us 10 detract
from the merits of others. Let all
nominations be made fairly and
squarely by majority Of the people,
and when fairly nominated let the
whole people rally to the support of
the nominees. Any one who insists
upon the nomination Of his particular
favorite and threatens to s'licl1 out of
the traces" unless his particular fa-
vorite is nominated, is not true
Democrat at heart, but disorganizer.
Such person is traitor in disguise
and should not be trusted. Such a
course leads to independent candi-
dates, and all Independents in q crisis
like this should be treated rs Radi-
calls, for they are in reality no better
than Radicals if from any cause they
oppose or countenance any opposition
to the regular nominees OF the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is more important
to tue welfare Of the State that the
regular Democratic nominees should
be elected, even though some of them
may not be shining lights of the party,
than that any Independents should
be elected, no matter how superior
may he their talents. s.-SpartanJurq
