REPENTANCE.

OF MISS DAISY, AGED siAIEiN.
I've been awful naughty! Oh, terribly bad;
Ny conscience reproaches me! Oh, am sad!
But then auntie keeps such an eye on poor me
That can't have the least bit OF fun. And Ned
Lee
Is the handsomest fellow, by far, in our set:
The beau every one Of the girls want to get.
And besides bi ing elegant looking, you know,
He's awfully nice and his horses can go
At two forty gait, believe twas he said,
So really don't see why shouldn't like Ned.
And when he invited me out for a drive
l was Just the happiest maiden alive,
So Just didn't ask her and let her say no.
But said was going to see Kate LeClair,
And wished, if convenient, he'd call for me there
lie did. We enjoyed a most elegant ride!
His horses flew onward so swiftly CRIED
As the wind whistled by. And the lap was
bound
That it wouldn't stay up. he just reached
around
And Selling the corner he held it In place
And now / can see-how this blush burns my
face,
That he so had his arm round my waist all the
while.
But never observed it. Next time I'll
See he doesn'G do that Well, we drove until dark.
never enjoyed a more elegant lark.
Then had TO commit a most terrible sin,
| fbbed to my auntie, and said had been
With Kate. Never mentioned Ned Lee. And
fear
That somebody saw u.s. and auntie will hear
OF the ride. Oh, I'm sure I've done awfully
wrongi
Locked up in gloomy dark room l belong.
And really Pm fully sorry. But then
somehow do hope he'll invite me again.

TIE Grand Rapid, tMieh.l pemoer.

THE Grand Rapids (Mich.) Democrat hal
very clear apprehension of and concisely
states the character of the opposition to the
Democratic party at the South to be
mainly made up of the "former ad.
herents of the party which shows itseli
in two forms, Greenbackism and Repu-
diation-both, or either of which, are accept
able to the Republicans 80 long as they mill
tate against the Democrats and in favor oil
the Republicans. 1t also manifests itself in
private grievances, disappointed ambition,
hunger for Office and opposition to the pay
ments Of debts" These" the Democrat con-
tinues, care the synonyms of the liberalism
which the party in power hopes to
make use of in order to wrest the South
from the control of the Democracy. The
cultivation of all there, coupled with that
funkeyism exhibited toward the monopolies
of the country, is the chief reliance of the
Republican party to retain power and place"

Personal MENTION.

"The whites Of the South" says Mr.. Mel
son in a recent article, will do with their
rich country what their race has done with
every land in the world in which it has
| lived"
John \. Kickham, one of the men wounded
| by powder explosion in the Great Sierra
| hosting works, in Mono county, California,
was carried on a stretcher by FIVE men dis
| lance of eleven miles, to Lundy, where a
competent physician resided The journey
lasted from daylight until dark, and involved
an ascent and descent over mountain anges
over twelve thousand feet high.
Judge Cox, of Minnesota, is on trial before
the senate of that State for crimes and mis-
dems ano-s The charges against him are
drunkenness and lewdness. There are no
less than nineteen articles of impeachment
charging him with specific acts His defense
is that drunkenness and lewdness are not
indictab'e offenses, and are therefore neither
''crimes nor misdemesnors" within the mean
ing Of the Law rendering him amenable to
impeachment
Charles w. Spur, of Boston, invented
fifteen wears ago what he calls papered
veneering, aud finds now market for his
goods all over the United States and in
Europe South America and Australia. The
veneering is cut from haIved or quartered
logs, twelve feet long, bolted fast to a revolv-
ing iron table, and, the table and wood
revolve, the latter strikes a huge knife,
which shave off the veneeripg from 100 TO
1-175 of an inch thick.
Daniel Hale Haskell, who was one of the
founders of the express and banking house OF
Adams q Co., San Francisco, and at one time
had an income of $4,000 year, died in the
almshouse in that city ten days ago. In the
failure of the bank his private fortune was
swallowed up. He was a broken-hearted
man and his courage disappeared with his
wealth. In the course of years he became a
drunkard and a street beggar, and finally he
was arrested for mendicancy. Half an hour
after he was taken to the almshouse he died.
Lord Houghton, when only Mr.. Mouckton
Mines, and young poet. was the chief pa
iron in London of the Hungarian refugees
of 1913. In the last volume of the memoirs
of Francis Pulsky, the writer says that "with
true English humor," Mr.. Mines used to in
vite to his breakfasts people of the most op-
posite opinions, such as Louis Blanc and
Guizot. Whether it was from desire for
brotherhood grim sense of fun that Mr..
Mines provided these encounters is not quite
clear.
Mr.. A. J. Ellis, F. r. s., has privately cir

views on English spelling reform 1t is

dress TO the Pathological Society, and ex-
presses his disapproyal of proposals either
for new letters or for partial corrections" of
the received photography. What he sug
gests is "syndrom," or concurrent alphabet,
which shall be phonetic in principle, but re-
stricted TO the present letters, and to be used
for educational purposes only. Experiments
made years ago have shown that children

THE presence of the military at the

THE presence of the military at the scene
of the recent riots near Plymouth, North
Carolina, had the effect of compelling the
observance of the peace. The Raleigh Oh
se-rer thinks the rioters belong to the swamps,
where quite a number of hands are ordi-
narily engaged in getting out shingles and
slaves. Life in the swamp has its character
istics, one of them being to make the swamp
hand very Independent, Indifferent to author
ity and reckless of consequences. If these
men belong to that class, and escape to the
swamps which comprise so large portion
of Washington county, in which Plymouth
is situated, their arrest will prove exceed
ingly difficult We all remember the case
of the swamp Angels" who infested Robe
son county ten years ago. But what can be
done to capture them will be done by the
State and county authorities.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

The meeting to-niglt Jill have powerful
effect upon the elect IN Tomorrow. If the
attendance is snail and the meeting
wanting in murders and enthusiasm, it will
demoralize the friends of the Citizens ticket
and inspire the opposition with the expecta-
ton of success. But if il shall prove to
be grand, imposing demonstration-the
spontaneous outpouring OF citizens of all
classes and conditions-confdence will be
inspired on the one side and dependency on
the other. The leading substantial citizens
of Memphis-the men who own the property,
pay the taxes and are vitality interested in
the welfare of the city-should not only
attend the meeting tonight, but they should
give the entire day tomorrow to the cleo
tion. Boss Shaw, with all his minions, will
be at the polls tomorrow shouting for the
two negro candidates, and he can only he
defeated by the votes of good men. That
few persons like this colered "boss"
have hitherto SO largely controlled
the political affairs of the city,
is owing solely TO the indifference of
the people to elections. This indif-
ference seems to be of steady growth, and
if unchecked will lead to the surrender to
the bosses of the entire control of the city
government. Such surrender would be
disaster to those who have brought it upon
themselves by continued neglect of the right
of suffrage. The honest citizens and tax
payers of Memphis have the power to elect
the best men tomorrow, and it is hoped they
will arercise n

FERNS and improvements, and are entitled to
the confidence and esteem OF all classes OF
their citizens. If "boss" like Ed Shaw is per-
United to inaugurate canvass, which results
in virtual Republication of the labors ei
Porter, Overton and Burke, then are the
times sadly out of joint; ingratitude will
become the inheritance OF servants who faith
fully perform their duty, and there will be
no incentive for honest endeavor in public
stations. 1t will be sad day for Memphi,
if the people tomorrow, by their votes, con-
denim the men who have been trusted and

THE business of theater inspection in Sar
Francisco was taken in charge by the grand
jury. That body went around to the various
places of amusement, paid their respects to
the managers, suggested Improvements and
alterations, and took their leave. In cases
where the managers demurred they were
informed that unless they agreed to go about
the work at once steps would be taken to
close their places forthwith. OF course they
promised, as those of Memphis would do if
the grand jury of Shelby county would make
a similar order after as careful examination
of our places of amusement 1t is impossi-
bic to be too careful of the lives of the peo-
pie. The fire at the Ring theater, Vienna,
and of the Brooklyn theater, three years
ago, prove that

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

! A powerful lobby is expected in Washing
| ton after the recess to push the Nicaragua
canal scheme through. 1t is rumored that
| General Grant has turned from the Nicara-
qua canal, and now favors the Eads ship
| railway scheme, and that the step is only the
| beginning of others which will lead to the
consolidation of the two plans.
The state treasurer of Pennsylvania makes
| good exhibit of the finances in his annual
report. The receipts from taxation of cor
porations shows an increase of $345 900, and
without any taxation of real estate he has
paid off 81 $50, 900 of floating Indebtedness
He estimates that for the current year the
receipts will exceed expenditures by
81 900 900.
Postmaster-GeneralJ James gives as a de-
felt to the postoffice department the sum of
s., SOC, 600. England, with about the same
revenue, has a net receipt from her postoffice
the sum of S15,O0O,O00. How is this
discrepancy to be explained? james says
the difference arises solely from frauds in the
department. A brave commentary on mon
archy and Republication. 1t should be
stopped.

as "the best club in London" The United
States House of Representatives may not be a
good club but it is the greatest claim agency
in the world. The principal business OF its
members is TO present claims and watch over
them until they are paid. Up TO the date of
adjournment for the holidays about twenty
FIVE hundred bills had been offered in the
House. OF these all but few were schemes
for extracting money FRONT the treasury.
They are claims of innumerable varieties.
Many Of them are ''for the relief of individ-
uals who are constituents of the members
presenting them. In nine cases out OF every
ten the claims of this description are frauds
pure and simple.

The Boston Herald beautifully says: ''The

careful observer on the ground, is the or
ganization of the House of Representatives

Guiteau case will shortly introduce a new
feature. So-called "cranks," numbering be-
tween forty and fifty, have been arrested
since Guiteau shot the President, most OF
whom have been sent to the Elizabeth insane
asylum on physicians certificates. The ply

took the stand and Scoville resumed the
cross ex animation. Witness had not, in Civ
ing his opinion on the direct examination
that the prisoner was sane, taken into ac-
count the evidence OF the prisoner himself,
but taking that element into consideration,
his opinion would be still the same, that the
prisoner is sane and was sane on the ID of
July.
Witness was asked if he was familiar with
the case of Lieutenant Sanborn, who was
killed by DR.. Wright, at Norfolk, Virginia,
and replied: Eyes, sir; 1 was sent by the
President to make an examination and give
an opinion on the case"
"How much did you get for it?" shouted
Guiteau. "Your idea, Doctor, that man
can't be insane unless his brain is diseased is
rather frivolous. You don't agree with the
Savior. You ought to study up spiritology,
then you would catch some new ideas"
Witness did not believe in what is termed
by some writers emotional insanity" or
"moral insanity" "Kleptomania" he con-
sidered simply thieving, 'dipsomania"
drunkenness, and "pysomania" incendiarism.
These designations were simply convenient
terms, which had been invented to cover GER
tain crimes. Insanity" said the witness"
lis never transmitted any more than cancer"
The examination progressed with tedious
detail in the effort to extract something favora-
bic. The counsel for the defense made an attack
upon the witness again and again, and each
time was met with evasive or qualified re-
plies. Finally Scoville, with some impa-
thence, inquired, "Can you tell me, Doctor,
how many direct replies you have given me
this morning." To which the witness replied,
81 don't know that l have given you any. l
propose to answer precisely in my own way,
Mr.. Scoville; am under oath, and propose
to give all the information bearing upon the
case in my possession, but | don't care to
drag my personalities into it any more than
possible"
The prisoner in the meanwhile had OBJ
served marked decorum, at intervals gazing
out of the window, but most of the time he
appeared to be busily engaged in writing his
autograph upon cards which were handed
up to him from the audience by the attend
ants.
ScoviIIe desired TO put in evidence GER
tain tabulated statements from the annual
reports of the witness. From these it APP
peared that Of twenty-foGr cases of homicide
by insane people seven were by persons act
ing under an insane delusion of divine au-
thority for their acts.
At the request of the district attorney, the
witness described briefly these cases, and
added that in each case it was one of marked
insanity, independent of the homicidal act.

Advice to Young Men.

tn ~
My son, enjoy yourself. Have q good
time; pleasure is eminently right and
proper, but a good time isn't secured by
a headache that lasts all the next day.
The simplest pleasures are the most last
ing. After you have spent two years in
Europe you will come back and sit down
by your own fireside and think of a pic
mic you went down to ut the Cascade one
afternoon in June. that cost you sixty
five cents. The ''good tines that you
daren't take your wife to, my son, that
you would lie about rather than have
your sister know about them, the "good-
ness of them never comes back to re-
fresh you and gladden. your hearts as
does the memory of that sixty-five cent
picnic, when you chartered nonsense
with the girl you loved, and laughed
Just as the leaves rustled, because you
couldn't help it. The good time' that
wakes in the morning and wonders
where it was and who saw it and where
all its money is gone; the good time
that tails itself off with q headache,
there's precious little fun in that. And
it only takes a very little bitterness of
that kind to poison the memories of
your past. 1t doesn't take many such
good times, my boy, to mingle tears with
your bread and gall with your drink.
The sting is the smallest part of the bee,
but when you pick him up by it, though
the rest of the bee were as long as an
omnibus horse, yet would the sting out
weigh all the good, sweet, harmless,
honey-laden portion of the bee, and you
would think about it often and longer.
