This biting air that has dropped down upon us
from northern latitudes is doubtless very bracng,
very conducive to human energy, very wholesome,
very relishable, and so forth-provded that, along
with the other cardinal necessities, one is properly
habited for it. 1t is false economy-downright ex'
&ravagance rather-to be inadequatey clothed for
such weather 1t is cheaper to provide warm ap-
pare than to endeavor to compensate for the lack Of
such protection by the consumption of inOrdinate
quantities of fuel externally and internay-leaving
out of the calculation the loss in health efficiency and
time resulting from gross violation of hygenic

THE NEW AND THE OLD SOUTH.
A Strong Speech Showing the Danger of Plac-
ing the Latter in Power.


ing the Latter in Power.
When the great cheering had once more sub
sided, Mr. Blaine began his speech, which
proved to be one of the most important and far
reaching of any that he has yet delivered. 1t
was a discussion of the Southern question,
which, he said, was intimately allied with the
tariff question To discuss protective tariff in
the city of Terre Haute, which produced $l0,-
00O 900 worth of manufactures annually, would
be an imputation upon the intelligence of the
people. He would not discuss the tariff here
but elsewhere would use Terre Haute as an
illustration. After this felicitous introduction,
Mr.. Blaine proceeded to his speech, as follows:
THE Southern question as for years it has
been termed, is precipitated into this canvass by
the South itself, and toneglect to notice it would
be to overlook one of the most powerful and
dangerous factors in the national contest To
unders tand that question properly, it should be
remembered that there are politically two
Souths, which we may term, respectively, the
new south and the old South The new South
represents that awakened liberal sentiment
which is striving for the industrial development
of that naturally rich section of the Union which
recognizes the necessity of tariff for protection,
which casts the bitter memories of the civil con
fict behind, and which is hopefully struggling in
Virginia, in North Carolina, in Tennessee, and
in other States of the late Contederacy.
This element includes many
who served in the confederate armies.
1t naturally afilates with the Republican party
and it seeks to lead the people away from the
preiudices of the past, TO a contemplation of the
majestic future. which wise and magnanimous
action may bring TO the South, in common with
the North, The old South represents the spirit
OF the rebellion. and cherishes sentiments OF
suen discontent IL is perpetually reaff rinins

various Divorce Laws.
Washington letter.


There Is great variety in the divorce laws
Of the country. In Maine ii is said to be
easier to get a divorce than to get drink.
Tho law reads: Divorces may be decreed
when the judge deems it reasonable and
proper, conducive to domestic harmony and
consistent with the welfare Of society" In
North Carolina the law says "any just cause
at the discretion of the judge" may dissolve
the marriage tie. In Virginia il woman is
discovered after marriage to have borne q
bad character before marriage without the
knowledge of the man who married her, he
may be divorced. In West Virginia
the shoe goes upon the other foot and il a
woman discovers that her husband was q
genuine rake before marriage she may I'M
marry. In Connecticut the law provides
that "such mischief or misbehavior as per-
manently destroys happiness and defeats the
purposes of marriage" shall constitute q
legal ground for divorce. In Alabama
adultery or immortality committed before
marriage as well as after dissolves the mar
riage tie. In Delaware adultery itself is not
in all cases counted sufficient cause for di-
vorce. In Nevada failure to provide the
necessaries of life is sufficient grounds.
Kentucky is said to permit divorce for one Of
IL larger number of causes than any of the
other states.

THE SPEECH OF SILENCE.
[Ella wheeler's "Poems Of Passion. "

[Ella Wheeler's sPoems Of Passion"l
The solemn sea of Silence lies between us;
know thou Invest, and thou lowest me;
And yet wish some white ship would come
sailing
Across the ocean, bearing word FROM thee.
The dead calm awes mo with its awful still
ness;
No anxious doubts or fears disturb my breast,
only ask some little wave Of language
70 stir this vast infnitude of rest.
am oppressed with this great sense Of low
ing,
So much give, so much receive from thee;
Like subtle incense rising from censor,
So floats the fragrance of thy love round
All speech is poor, and written words I'M
meaning
Yet such | ask, blown hther by some wind,
To give relief to this too perfect knowledge
The silence SO impresses on my mind.
How poor the love that needeth word or
message.
To Danish doubt or nourish tenderness;
ask them but to temper loves convictions
The silence all too fully doth express.
Too deep the language which the spirit ut
ters--
Too vast the knowledge which my soul hath
stirred!
Send some white ship across the sea of Silence,
And interrupt it's utterance with a word
