1t seems almost incredible that in
this land of plenty and prosperity
any considerable number of people
should suffer for the actual necessa-
ries Of life, but reliable advices from
p~t.islt county, Virginia, show that
such widespread want exist there
that, unless relieved by prompt
action, there is danger Of starvation.
This state Of affairs has been brought
about by the almost entire failure Of
the crops for two successive seasons.

five thousand persons in the county
are without even bread, and what is
worse, have no means of getting it.

The Next Congress Democratic.

A Washington dispatch says that
a thorough canvass for the purpose of
ascertaining, if posoible, what the
political complexion Of the next
House would probably be, has been
made by leading Democrats. Two Of
the members have made the canvass
within few days, and as the result
of their inquiries have figured out a
Democratic majority of ten in the
next House. They reach this con-
clusion by counting on sure gains, as
follows: In Connecticut, South Caro-.
lima, Illinois, West Virginia, Miss,
issippi and California, one each; Tex
as and Pennsylvania, five each; Ind.
lana and Ohio, three each; New York
two and Missouri four. They expect
to make other gains in such States as
Massachusetts, Maine and New
Hampshire, but these do not enter
into the figures on which they base a
probable majority of ten. The only
State in which they expect loss is
Nevada, and they think the chances
are that they will lose the one Rep.
resentative there. The results as
reached by these gentlemen, with
the figures as given above, have been
sent to the various State Executive
Committees in the South.

How TranOhHomen Are Loved.

The Provencal women are the state
Hest, most queen-like specimens of their
sex that have ever seen. Tall, we'll
formed. strong, with piercing black eyes
and bronaed faces, they charm the eye
and attack the heart of the lover of the
beautiful. There is ever, too, smile
upon their lips, reflection of the suns
rays from their pretty faces, rs they
chatter in their rich old Provencal dia-
lect.
In any other county, than France
these faces would photograph them
selves upon the hearts of men, and
rouse q passion which only its return
could soothe. Men would love, live,
fight or die for the women of Provence
at least Englishmen would-but such
things are unknown in France. | do
not say unknown here only, but unknown
in France, The Paris exquisite may af-
feet taste in women as he does taste
in horses. He may even spend his
time and money in their pursuit; but as
nation, and with but very rare excep-
tons, the love of woman as woman does
not exist in France.
To the Frenchman the woman is ev-
erything except his hearts loves. She
is his business partner; in fact the man
aging partner of the business while he
lives in his cafe. In the country she is
his laboring man, his purse-keeper, his
adviser, otter his master. To the pro-
fessional man she is the mother of his
children, the bringer of n certain dot TO
the family store In politics she is the
center around which men congregate.
In religion the deputy and representa-
tive OF all mankind at church. But in
the heart of Frenchman she has no
place and no home.
When | say generally Of France, I
say particularly of this place, and all
country places-marriages are made as
business partnerships are made, with q
due regard to business arrangements on
all sides, and without any reference
whatsoever to any impulses of the heart.
Only q few days ago one of our hand
soonest young fellows gave up one of
our prettiest girls, whose parents are
rich, because the sum of hard cash TO
be handed over to him on the day of
marriage was not equal to his demands.
He will now, of course, look for another
wife as he would look for another farm,
with sole regard TO its incomebringing
prospects.
