she gained years ago in Europe, and she is
by no means the greatest singer, or even
one OF, the greatest singers ever heard in
the United States. Perhaps she knows
this, or is beginning to discover it, and
that is why she sings so few pieces, and
confines herself to old ballads, which are
liked in this country for their sentiments,
but which are beneath the talent of truly
great singers. She is clever as iinancier,
and so long rs she can make a couple of
thousand dollars night by singing two Il

that the good old father of the commune
had observed with CONSERVATION that the
consumption of beer increased to great
extent during the forty days of the fast, the
peasants indemnifying themselves for the
abstinence from flesh by extraordinary in
diligence in beer. The pastor replied that
he thought moderate enjoyment of
beer was quite lawful. The President OF
the Commune, however, was not satisfied.
a few days later he again went to his
prlnccly reverence and solcmnly asked him
whether he could not make an inquiry in
Rome as TO the legality of the wholesale
drinking of Baicrisch' during Lent. The
clergyman gladly assented. IL received a
Notification from the highest authorities"
he says, that no judgment could be given
on the beer question until the beer had
been seen and tasted,' A small barrel of
the very best Bavarian was sent from the
village to the Eternal City 1t was proba-
ply the very first Bavarian beer which
crossed THE threshold of the Apostle. "
The decision came back from Rome without
delay. The wine drinking authorities in
the Vatican ruled that as much of this sin
gular liquid might be drank during Lent as
man could bring himself to drink. Not
only so, but it was even added that it might
be regarded as a sort of penance, when Il
man drank large quantity of so bitter and
haanseous a concoction,-[ Correspondence

The Curse of Scotland

There are several reasons. all of which have
become famous, for which it is claimed the
nine of diamonds is denominated the Course
OF Scotland"
One reason is because the nine Of diamonds
is the arms of a leaning member who voted for
the introduction of the malt tax into Scotland.
A second because this card is considered fortu-
nate in the game of "cornette," which was in
troduced into Scotland by Mary of Lorraine,
and caused heavy losses, if not absolute ruin,
to many Of the Scotch mol iity. A third, be-
cause the card resembles the cross of st. An,
drew, the patron saint of Scotland" cross
passing into "curse."
In the game of "Pope Joan" the nine of dia.
monds is "pope," and as such odious to anti.
Papal Scotland, and the nine lozenges with
which the saltier is charged in the armorial
bearings of the Earl of Stair are so arranged
as to resemble the nine of diamonds, which
was called the cnrse of Scotland from the prom
inent part taken by that earl in promoting the
union which was most unpopular in Scotland
A reason given in Crosses Dictionary of the
| Vulgar Tongue" says that diamonds imply
| royalty, being ornaments to the imperial crown,
and every ninth king of Scotland has been oh
| served for many ages to be tyrant and a curse
| to that country"
called the curse of Scotland in allusion to the
arms of Colonel Packer (Gules cross lozengy),
who guarded Charles J. on the scaffold, and
was hated for his seventies in Scotland, after
wards; and for similar reason connected with
| the Earl of Stair. Another authority explains
| as corruption of the Gross of Scotland, the
pips being arranged somewhat in the form of a
| St. Andrews cross. In the Oracle or Re
| solver of Questions ITO, the reason given is
| that the crown of Scotland had but nine dia-
monds in it, and they were never able to get
more. Still another is that in the game OF
| Pope Juan the nine of diamonds is the pope, OF
whom the Scotch have an especial horror.
The common explanation. that it is the card
| on which the Butcher Duke wrote sanguin-
airy order, is disproved by DIR. Houstoun.'
''This final allusion to the Butcher Duke
| of Cumberland is to story of his having
| written very sanguinary order after Cullo-
| den, on the back of nine of diamonds. But
the nine of diamonds is represented in the fore
| ground of print in which the Pretender is
seen driving a herd of papal bulls across the
| Tweed, and this print bears date Oct q, 1745.
| Culloden was fought April 16, 1916"

Concerning Plaisted.

"There is no more reason" says the Ad-
vertiser, ''to attribute to Governor Plaisted
purpose to falsify the returns than there
is to attribute a similar purpose to Colonel
ROBBIE" There is much more reason. Col
onel Robbie has never talsified returns nor
commended their Justification. Governor
Plasted, if he did not instigate, encouraged
the Justification and forgery of election re-
turns by the Fusion Council of 1879, and
defended the action of that Council after
wards With him were the Fusionists, al
most to man. The men Or the political
organization that will defend crime so bold
as the theft of State Legislature are capa-
BILE of any offence against the elective fran
chise and are unworthy TO be entrusted with
power. The men capable Of that crime are
capable of repeating it, and twill permit no
conscientious scruples to interfere with
success" The men who will resort to the
Fusonist practices of 1879 will resort to sail
the devices of a Toombs court shyster."
We are astounded to find the Advertiser
defending them and giving them a certifi-
cate of good character.
The Advertiser calls attention to the fact
that the Republicans have sent Governor
Plaisted TO Congress and bestowed other hon
ors upon him. They have, and in wayo graf
itude he betrayed them as later he betrayed
the straight Greenbackers who made him
Governor, as he viii betray the Democracy
if he finds profit in treachery. The idea OF
holding up Harris Plaisted as reformer IS
absurd. He has always been persistent
beggar for office, and the State has repeat
edly been flooded with letters from him soil
citing support. He left the Republicans be-
cause they would not nominate him for
Governor. He joined the Fusionists because
they would. He is a professional office
seeker-a member of that class for which
the Advertiser processes adherence.

THEY have new and important issue in
the Tennessee campaign. The Dyersburg
Gazette having in an unguarded moment de-
clared that John R. Beasley, Greenback can
didate for Governor, denies the existence of
a God and the Immortality of the soul, Mr..
Beasley strikes back in a letter which will
make him very precious to voters who think
it crime for one man to hold more property
than another. Mr.. Beasley says he does not
deny that there is God, but the doctrine
of the immortality of the soul was inven ted
by Plato 'for the purpose of reconciling the
poor to the burdens placed upon them by
the rich;' wherefore he hates the said doc
trine. 1t is wonder that the Greenbackers
have never thought of inserting this catch
ing idea in their platforms. Beasley is a
genius.

DURING the last decade the number OF
the farms in the United States was exactly
doubled, fact that conspicuouslv shows
the amazing progress of agriculture under
the powerful stimulus of the vast and profit
able home market created by domestic man
ufactures, under the impulse given to those
interests by railroads, national banks, a
sound currency, and wholesome protec-
tive tariff. 1t is gratifying to know that the
number of farms in the south has increased
very handsomely since the civil war under
the influence of good crops, free labor and
general prosperity.

THERE is some talk in political circles at
Washington of reconvening the Interna-

European nations, and to get another inter-

so easy. Nor is there much ground for hope
that the deliberations of such conference
would be any more fruitful in practical re-
suits than upon previous occasions. Per-
haps we had better let Europe take the in
itiative in this matter next time.
