Poor John Carlisle.

Much might be written of Carlisle.
Only forty-eight years old, he is a self,
made man in double sense, for he has
remade himself within the last twelve
years. At that time it seemed as if his
life had been lived out and that the coils
of drink would never be loosened from
about him until he rested with Menifee
and Marshall, and the host of other
bright Kentuckians who have graves in
the island where the Circe lives. Frank
fort is about as demoralizing to young
fellows as the Sonora Mountains to the
Arizona Indian, and he had already serv.
cd two terms in the Legislature and was
then, at thirty.six, Lieutenant. Governor.
There were few who did not think that
this would be the end of it. There was
no Cassandra to hear the whisperings of
the gods about him. 1t was "Poor John
Carlisle"
Suddenly he shattered his cups and
placed seal upon desire and became, as
ever since he has remained, devout
churchman and an exemplar Of the
strictest temperance. There vas surprise
in the town when more and more it
came to be seen that the change was
not the freak of a headache, but gravely
made and meant to last lifetime. But
so it was. He shrank from all fanaticism
and was as blithe as ever, but the club
rooms missed his epigrams and his books
grew thumbed with use. The comrade
had become student.-Louisrillc Letter
IN the San Francisco Chronicle.

Consistency.

Consistency is jewel, the world over
and like all other jewels it has its coun-
terfeits and limitations. Here as else,
where, the imitation is so nice that we
often take the counterfeit for the original
virtue.
The man who formerly pursued a par
ticular line of acton, or advocated Ger.
tain policy which he has now abandoned,
is not necessarily inconsistent. John G..
Calhoun exposed himself to the charge
of inconsistencies very grave charge
when brought home to statesman-by
changing his well-known views on ques.
tions of public moment. He turned q
complete somersault on the tariff ques'
ton. Once protectionist, be became a
freo.trader of the straitest of the sect of
Nulli6ers. But he was not on this ac-
count necessarily inconsistent.
At the recent session of the General
Assembly certain members who had ad:
yocated the establishment of the railroad
commission, advocated the bill which
sought to deprive the commission of the
power to fix rates, thereby. IN great
measure, emasculating it. Those men,
bers were promptly charged with incon-
sistency. One of them has met The
charge with the declaration that lie
changed his line of action because it was
right to do SO, and he "would rather be
right than consistent" in the mistaken
sense. He is right.
Important questions often demand leg.
islation in our country, which are so hard
to understand in all their relations, that
what one is disposed to call his conyic.
tion is not undisturbed BY doubt. And
the man who has advocated any measure
or policy should not adhere to it after he
is convinced that it is wrong. merely TO
escape the charge of Inconsistency.
Those who study legislation as statesmen
are bound to do, are likely to change
their views on certain questions-and
they should not be too timid to act ac-
cording to the change when the public
good demands it. And the false pride,
or stubbornness, or wantonnes' which
teaches otherwise should be condemned.
A we'll known living philosopher says,
"The man who can't change his mind is
fool; but the man who won't change
his mind is much greater fool" This
sentiment is correct; no one will con-
vince the public that he is endowed with
all the cardinal virtues, by doggedly ad.
herring to his expressed convictions.
The man who votes for protection while
he believes free.trade to be right, is in
consistent. The man who applauds vir'
tue but practices vice, is inconsistent
The man who approves the right, bul
follows The wrong, is inconsistent. Bu
the man who finds that he has been fol-
lowing the wrong, and at once change!
for the right, is honest and manly

Leaving the County.

We regret to learn that number of
good families have already left or are
preparing to leave the county for Florida
and Texas. We are sincerely sorry to
see this disposition to leave the good old
State; but perhaps it will not be so bad
after all. There is an old and trite say
ing, that "bought experience is the best
lesson" and many have found, when too
late, that moving to the West has proved
to be the most expensive and unsatistac-
tory experience in their lives. The glow
ing pictures drawn of the easy and expe-
ditious roads to fortune in the West gen.
orally hide many almost unsurmountable
obstacles in the way, and seldom show
the trials, priyations and veSations
which have to be encountered before
even the first step upward can be taken.
Scarcely a week passes that we do not
read of the return of families from the
West, broken hearted and disgusted with
their experience. They find more hope
in Coming home to commence ane,c, than
in staying out West" in disappointment
among strangers.
We are not alone in believing that,
with industry, economy, perseverance, and
a stout will to succeed, South Carolina
offers as many, and far pleasanter, roads
to success as any State in the Union
Union Times.

Corsets and Age.
Wby have women persisted fol

Why have women persisted for genera
tions, asks correspondent, in wearing
an instrument Of torture Theoretically
condemned by the wisdom of ages? To
listen to male and female sages one might
suppose that some hundreds of years ago
woman had suddenly been seized with a
desire to emulate the wasp in form, and
had since more or less successfully been,
by the aid of ligatures, endeavoring to
merely cut herself in two.
With all due Difference to the rational
and hygienic in dress, I would suggest
that there is more method in the madness
of the tight-lacing women than this. If
anybody will take the trouble to examine
the corset of fashionable stay.maker,
such as are sold in first rate houses for
the modest sum of IS, the inquirer will
find that, saving, perhaps, a somewhat
exaggerated slender waist, this article Of
dress follows pretty closely the beautifully
rounded form of young woman of from
twenty to twenty-five.
Now it very frequently happens that at
the time when q fashionable girl is ex.
pected to make her debute in society ma
ture has for various reasons denied her
the various items necessary to make up
that indispensable requisite for ball.
room success-a pretty figure. The fash
ionable corset is, therefore, had recourse
to, and with this useful foundation to
build upon an artistic dressmaker can do
wonders to supplement nature.
Later on, when the delicate girl has
developed into the faded matron, with
Aaccid muscles and a decided tendency
to indistinctness of outline, what so USE
full as the well-made corset into which
the somewhat dilapidated figure is run as
into moul2 Torture it may be, but she
has her reward. Do not her friends say
of her, show wonderfully Mrs. Smith
keeps her figure ?"
1t is useless to hope that the present
generation of society women will tear off
their corsets and exhibit themselves to a
wondering world our hope lies in the
future. While Lady Harberton has been
crying in the wilderness, the leading fe.
male lawn-tennis players have devised
themselves dress-pretty, feminine,
graceful and healthy. Those who have
watched the free and graceful movements
of young English girls on the tennis
ground may hope that the time may come
when the best of them will no longer,
like Meredith's delightful little Garcia
Grandson, sigh, "I'm afraid, I'm girl.
I used to keep hoping I wasn't" but will
be content with their own happier lot in
an age when boating, swimming and
tennis will have so beautifed and devel-
oped their figures as to enable them to
laugh at and discard the aid of Messrs.
Worth & Co. To quote once more from
Meredith. "The subsequent immense
distinction between boys and girls is less
one of sex than education. They are
drilled into being hypocrits."

TIE Northeastern League.
The most interesting and important game
in the Northwestern league last week was
prevented by rain, and it was the only one
in any way interfered with, so it would seem
that the weather clerk was scheming to put
OFF the event. We refer TO the game which
under ordinary circumstances would have
been played at Quincy on Saturday after
noon AS we predicted in our Monday
morning summary week ago Quincy won
all OF its four games and Grand Rapids lost
one, thus tying the two teams in games won.
AS it is Quincy is second, from having lost
two games more than Grand Rapids. but had
it gathered in a victory at home on Saturday
it would have been at the forefront for the
first time this season. The matter will be
decided tomorrow, and from the brilliant
record the Quincy team has made, especially
in fielding, we predict that Illinois will
gather the laurels. However, we do not be-
lieve Quincy will hold the advantage, if
gained, as Grand Rapids comes next to play
with the innocents of the northwest, where
as Quincy will meet next the strong mines
of Bay City and Saginaw. By scoring tie
at Minneapolis on Saturday Saginaw allowed
Bay City to slip into undisputed possession
of third place. Peoria has been chopping in
hard timber, and is scarcely as good a fifth
as on Saturday week ago. Milwaukee took
three of the four games played, but is such a
bad sixth that the chances are not favorable
for better position for some time. Muske-
gon is playing a remarkably strong game
nowadays, and is dangerous competitor for
the best teams in the league. Minneapolis
took two of the five games played and tied
another. The team is undergoing constant
metamorphosis Of players, but its strength is
not materially greater now than month
ago. Fort Wayne is conundrum and Terre
Haute another. ST.. Paul made a heroic
struggle in five contests, but it was worsted
in all of them. No team in the league is a
more formidable competitor, and none has
worse luck. The result is tabulated below

National League.

All the National league games scheduled
for last week were played, and every team
took hand in the winning, the weak Detroit
team. taking two, while Cleveland scored but
one victory. Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, New
York and Providence each scored three and
Philadelphia two. The teams occupy exactly
the same relative positions they did week
ago, Boston having a lead of two games over
Providence and the latter three over New
York. The eastern leaders are playing
together now and some remarkable changes
may follow, although we do not look for such
a state of things. Boston seems to be made
of the metal necessary to retain its prestige,
and We rather expect to see the lead in
creased rather than diminished. New York
will probably never get a better position than
it now occupies, and the next three weeks
may see Buffalo or Chicago push the ball
players of the metropolis back a peg or So
Following is the result of all the games

ST1NDPOINTS.

AT the Harvard College alumni dinner,
Professor Newcomb, the astronomer, and
director of the National Observatory, got
down from the sky long enough to say that
proper human sympathy is one of the OBJ
jects to be aimed at in education, but how it
was to be attained he was unable to say. The
honored observer of heavenly bodies is too
little acquainted with sublunary affairs to
know how to get into, promote, or indulge
in human sympathy. But of one thing he
was certain, 1t should be the aim of educa-
ton 'to send into politics scholars trained
in looking at mankind from a scientific
stand-point.n Why not view men from "a
scientific standpoint in other departments
of human activity, as well as politics! By
all means let this learned sa-
want come on with his scholars"
