Congressman Lynch, the representa-
tive of the "shoe- string" district in
Mississippi, who has ousted Chalmers,
is a light, coffee-colored mulatto, with
but few of the marks Of the negro. He
is man of some property, is but "a
years of age, and considering that he
was slave until he was IL, and until he
reached that age could neither read nor
write, has made decided educational
progress. AS writer and speaker he is
represented as considerably above the
congressional average. He has planta-
ton of 10 acres near Natchez, in which
city he learned the art Of photography,

But most of his active life has been

The Age for Matrimony.

Ii the year 1879 be taken as fair test
OF tho matrimonial habits and customs
OF English people, it would appear that
the disproportion in the age between
husbands and wives ia not very great,
and that only in quite exceptional
cases either spouse is old enough to be
the parent of the other. From the sta
tistics of the Registrar General it seems
that they are within few years age of
one another. Thus the number of men
who were themselves between 81 and 30
and who married wives also between 2l
and 80, is about 10000, or very nearly
half OF the total number married during
the year. Moreover, of the II, 800 men
who married in their homage, hardly "A
many as 400 married women of more
than 20; while, even among women, tho
proportion of minors who married old
men is quite insignificant.
Ii rule were III existence prohibiting
all marriages between persons one OF
whom was old enough to be the parent
of the other, it would not, as it seems,
have prevented more than about 1000
persons of each sex from making them
selves happy. Drawing line even at
Is years, and supposing that disparity
In age of this amount were bar to
matrimony, it is found that about 2, 100
men would have been disqualified from
marrying women younger than them
selves, while 101 "middle-aged women
would have been similarly prevented
from bestowing their hands and hearts
upon comparatively juvenile cavaliers.
Turning from the general tables to those
which tell of the widows and widowers, it
will be found that the latter usually
reach tolerably-advanced age before
they venture for the second time into
the hymeneal contract-especially If it
is with widow. From 35 to 55 is the
favorite age for widowcrs to marry
widows; and there are almost the same
number of bridegrooms found among
them at each of the years included i'll
these two decades. Those of the be-
reaved husbands who marry spinsters
are, however, much younger In their
generation, and there are nearly 1000
of them between the ages of 25 and 80,
against only 500 who marry widows.

Talking to Heaven.

A mother living not very far from the
postoffice in this city. tired with watch
ing over sick baby, came down stairs
for few seconds rest. She heard the
voice of her little 4-year-old girl in the
hall by herself, and, curious to know
to whom she was talking, stopped mo-
ment at the half-open door. She saw
that the little thing had pulled chair
up in front of the telephone, and stood
upon it, with the piece pressed against
the side of her head. The earnestnoss
of The child showed that she was in no
playful mood, and this was the conver-
sation the mother heard, while the tears
stood thick in her eyes, the little one
carrying on both sides as if she were re-
peating the answers:
"Hello |"
"Well, who's there ?"
"Is God there?"

"Tell Jesus I want to speak to him.

No answer, and statement and ques-
tion again repeated, finally answered by
a " Yes"
The little one put the ear-piece back
on its hook, clambered down from her
chair, and, with radiant face, went for
mother, who caught her in her arms.

Beautiful Women.

It is not the smiles of pretty face,
The delicat, tint of complexion, the en-
chanting glance of the eye, the beauty
aud symmetry of person. nor the costly
dress or decorations, that compose wom-
ems loveliness. IL is her pleasing de-

sensilility and purity of her thoughts,
her affable aud open disposition, her
sympathy with those i'll adversity, her
comforting aud relieving the afflicted
and distressed, and, above all, the hum
bleness nf her soul, that constitute true
loveliness. Disraeh observes, at is at
the foot of women we lay the laurels
that, without her smile, would never
have been gained; it Is her image that
strings the Tyre OF the poet, that ami
mates the voice III the blaze of eloquent
faction, that guides the brain in the au-
gust tolls OF state councils. Whatever
