The Charleston Mescs and Courier shows
on favor to the suggestion that the dem
ocratic candidate for vice president be
taken from the south. 1t thinks that
sectional considerations ought not to
govern the selection-that "no candidate
should be chosen, or discarded, because
he lives in the north instead of the south,
or in the south instead of the north" and
it adds
Putting it in very plain English, what
the southern democracy need and desire
is such evidence of reunion and such rec
ognition of the equality of the states, and
of their citizens, as are TO be found in
legislation which looks to the equal ben
eft of the whole country, in executive
conduct which makes no geographical
distinctions, and in Judiciary who will
attempt to exercise no powers in the
south that they would not exercise in the
north The southern people, outside of
politics-the people who. at last, deter
mine the success or failure of parties do
not care a fig for public offices, and look
with contempt, mingled with disgust,
upon the everlasting chatter about cdndi-
dates and places. There is not southern
democrat living who can, nj this time,
increase the strength of the democratic
party in the south by being the nominee
for vice president. The democratic can
didates are voted for solidly in the south F;
because the white people believe that
their material interests as well ms their
political convictions require it. When
ever. they shall cease to hold this opinion,
it will be futile to expect 10 consolidate
them by giving one OF their number a
nomination on the national ticket As
long as their interests and convictions do
tie them to the democracy, the bait of q
nomination is superfluous and unneces-
sary."

An Ancient Red-Haired Darling,

Elsewhere will be found the story of
a diamond pin found in the heart of an
oak in Maine. But still more curious
story of the same kind comes from Eng
land. An oak near Bethel was recently
cut down and sawn into planks. In one
of these was found hollow peg CON
tanning lock of bright red hair 1t
seems that two hundred and fifty years
ago, somewhere in the year 1900, some
lover had enclosed a loveknOt, and bor-
ing hole in the tree, deposited it there
in. The sap covered the token, and
there it lay concealed for two centuries
and half. as is shown by the rings in
the oak. What wonders have occurred
in England and the world, since this
lover hid away this lock of his red-haired
darling. In modern times it is the fash
ion, when the corner stone of some in
stitutiOn is laid, to place underneath
coins, memoranda, newspapers, and
other objects which it is supposed will
interest future generations when the
edifce is demolished But pretty rO-
nance might have been written'on this
lock of bright red hair, had the lover
only left the date in the same hole with
the -Demeres's Monthly.

WHAT SHE WANTS TO KNOW.
She Wants to Know How to Make Both
Ends Meet on SIG per Week.

Among the young women who ask
important and sometimes perplexing
questions of the Philadelphia Times is
one who wants 30 know what kind of
young man she should marry. Her par
tieular anxiety is to know whether it is
safe for girl without money to marry
q man without trade 1t is rather I'M
usual for a girl in love to look so far
ahead as this, or to take such a practi-
cal view of life Few Of them ever look
beyond how they will look at the we'd
ding, or whether it would not be better
to have the services at home, in church,
or whether, as a matter of romance, she
ought not to run away.
The trouble with the young woman
in the present case is that she isengaged
to a nice young man who never learned
trade. He thought it was much nicer
to take a clerkship, where he gets $40 a
week and where the work does not soil
his clothes. The young woman has been
studying this question with rather more
philosophy and good judgment than
the sex is usually credited with. She
fears that clerkships as general thing
do not pay well,s do not afford much OPP
portunfty for advancement, and are OF
less certain tenure than almost anything
else. She finds that the young men who
early learn trades-good, honest, useful
trades-seem to have more ambition,
are sturdier and better directed.
The yonng woman has clearly reached
a sensible conclusion. The subject
about which she inquiries is not alto
gether new. 1t has been discussed in
these columns before. 1t is always in
teresting, however Girls eannotbe adj
vised that it would be misfortune al
ways to marry a clerk, but it must be
apparent that the better dependence is
upon o man who has the discipline and
the advantage which the thorough
knowledge OF useful trade gives. II
is rare indeed that the skilled workman
is out of employ, and unusual skill ant
ability find ready recognition in every
department of labor 1t is the misfor.
tune of too many of the girls of this time
that they prefer young men whose work
is such that they can always wear good
clothes.

BLAINEs' HISTORY

Prom the Work.

From the "Ork.
WASHINGTON, July 2S Thomas II. Sher.
man, formerly ex-Secretary Blaine's clerk,
reports that the latter's forthcoming book
is nearly completed. Advance extracts Of
the work were published in the New York
Herald. The work is entitled Twenty
Years in Congress- and will be given to
the public next October. From the ex.
tracts published it can be said that Mr..
Blaine's adversaries will get little comfort,
for they are written as dispassionately as
any historian writes, and much more en-
tertainingly than most OF the guild. Mr..
Blaine does not wish his work 10 be con.
sidered one OF "Reminiscences but rather as
q history Of TWO important decades, from
1861 to 1881, or from Lincoln to Garfield.
A propos OF the friendship between
Blaine and Garfield Mr. Sherman, men,
toned above, In addition to telling what
he knew OF Baine's literary work, re-
lates the following incident: "General Gar

and called her Harriet He went TO Mr..

shot and not finding the Secretary Of

among them the purchase OF a portrait by
Miss Ransom for the State Department.
When Garfield was shot be called after
Mrs. Blaine among his early requests. She
remained near him until the body guard
drew in the lines. Mrs. Blaine, among
other things, wanted some coffee given 10
the President to settle his eyery-fninting
stomach, but it was refused for day or
two, and meantime nothing would stay on
his stomach. Finally the coffee was pro-
cured and Immediately Garfield felt easier.
