Women Travelling Alone.

1t is very happy thought that we
women can travel alone from one end
of our broad land to the other; we may
fluid it more pleasant to have company,
but when compelled to go without any
one we find it can be done with perfect
safety. 1t is well to familiarize ones
self to short trips from home, and thus
become more self-reliant and fearless
when the time comes to start out on q
more heightened journey. To feel per-
fectly at home when surrounded by
strangers on a crowded steamboat or
railway train, we must have had some
experience of the same kind. You will
usually meet with pleasant officials,
who will render you any service that
you need; or if you find them gruff and
surly, do not let it disturb you in the
least. 1t is always much more agree
able, and puts one more completely at
ease, to be treated with civility; but
when you reflect upon the number of
questions these persons have offered to
them, can you wonder at little i'm
patience?
Be sue to be in time to meet the
conveyance by which you are to travel,
and to see that your tickets are correct
and your baggage checked, and your
checks secured in a safe place. Have
with you more money than you will
need, but have the greater part of it
in some secure place. Dress as
plainly as possible, in quiet colors, with
little jewelry or ornaments of any kind.
If you are going on long journey. see
that all your needs, as far as possible, are
provided for before hand, so that you
may not be obliged to ask strangers to
help you; and when obliged to change
cars, go with the crowd and do not lag
behind. And do not allow any one to
look after your luggage but yourself.
Go in an omnibus where there are
others, but never in hack alone.
Should there be any doubt as to the
cars you are to take, or the way YOU
are to go, ask an official or a laborer
who is likely to know. Do not get con-
fused or lose your presence OF mind,
no matter what emergency you may
find yourself placed in, and You will be
sure to come out all right. 1t is best
to maintain reticent manner when
travelling alone; when asked question,
answer civilly but briefly. In this way
you will find that you can go abroad as
safely as you can about your own town,
and take great deal of enjoyment that
otherwise you would be deprived Of
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Henry Wheeler, Of Hickory Flat,

prises his neighbors. He has lived on
his own land FOR fifty-two years without
moving. This surprises his neighbors,
too. He has 122 grandchildren. This
also surprises his neighbors; but what
surprises them most and knocks them
endwise whirling through the air is that

reforms, power to make even party
machinery and political domination
work for the good of the country, an
all-embracing patriotism. an absence of
sectional feeling and an inhexible de-
termination 20 do right, are the qualities
that we need in a President; and while
these qualifications make up the beau
ideal of Chief Magistrate, they are at
the same time qualities which may be
found in some mon and, therefore, they
are not mere abntractions. We could
name half q d0zen men in the Demo
cratic party, an7 enc of whom, we think.
would answer Tho requirements with q
close approximat' on at least to the ideal
standard. But we shall not name one
of them, because we do not propose to
institute q "bo0m" in any direction.
We shall content ourselves with urging
those who are t. be charged with the
duty of making the selection, to take
care that in following out the principle
of availability. they do not lose sight of
the qualifications without which our
success in the election would be q vic
tory of doubtful value. We have not
only to agree upon candidate, but we
have to elect President who would be
a blessing to the country. We can do
this if we try, and try in the right way.
But II the result is to be determined by
a scramble for the nomination, or by an
exclusive regard for the power of this
or that individual to carry this or that
State, we must remember that the
whole power Of the present administra-
ton will be put forth against us, and
that unless we have something more to
say of our candidate than his available
ity as politician. we shall inevitably
be beaten Washington Exchange.
