It is said that the women of Spar
ia wore scanty garments. Their
dressmakers were probably not
so honest as ours.
Since the unlucky Morrill, letter,
Mr.. Blaine has instructed his com
mittees TO read all the death col
umns every day.
Even the bold, defiant mustache
of John Peter St. John bushes un-
der its dye at Mr.. Blaine's pusilla-
nimity in dodging a great moral
question.
"Ah, isn't she a duck?' cried an
admirer, as the doctors daughter
passed. ''No Doubt" replied a
mean wretch, "her father is a
quack."
The South Carolina bank that
gave a depositor, inadvertently, a
bag with 81, 900 in gold instead of a
bag with $50 in silver, appears to
be one of the few banks that are
ready to correct mistakes.
Complaint is made in San Fran
cisco that wealthy, refined and re-
spectacle women firt with 9he
street-car conductors. The wealthy,
refined and respectable women of
San Francisco appear to know who
gets the street-car profits.
Mr.. Blaine is so confused by his
campaign duties that he has entire
ly forgotten to send to Secretary
Chandler letter of ,congratulation
upon the recovery of one pair of the
distinguished Secretary's breeches
from the wreck of the Tallapoosa.
Cleveland, Blaine and Butler have
all talked to the farmers recently,
yet neither candidate has ventured
to hint to the honest yeomanry that
watermelons grown with citrons
and pumpkins will never build up
a great and powerful:government.
In Chinese newspaper the COL
umns begin at the bottom instead
of at the top. 1t islpleasant to notice
the bland smile of a Celestial pub
Usher when he signs a contract to
put patent medicine advertise
ment at the top of the column
Lowell Citizen.
When Mr.. Blaine's friends drop
in on him to mention that the news
papers are charging him with dodg-
ing the prohibition question, he art
fully turns the conversation by call
ing their attention to. the latest in
telligence in regard to the Goldfish
famine in Labrador.
The charge that Mrs. Lockwood
INDUCES in great quantities of ice
cream may Injure her with some vo-
ters, but the explanation that accu-
sation originated in some of her ice
cream indiscretions while she was
young will soothe the majority of
doubters. After lapse of so many
years nobody ought to take notice
Of such things.

A pretty little bonnet worn at
New York wedding last week was
made thus: The brim was bound
With brown velvet, rich and

| time With Lula.
We like Laps. McCord; we do in
deed. But we don't like the way
he's forced to run the Pulaski CIT-
IzEN. A gentleman of his genius
ought to be permitted (by the
fates y to utter his own genuine
sentiments unrestrained. 'Tis sad

This is a silly "you're another
repetition of what we said concern
ing Mr.. Merrill. He is employed to
write just as he does by Col. Cherry,
and we do not believe that he be-
lieves in what he writes. There is
no power behind the driver of this
pencil. He is monarch of all he
surveys in this office, and he writes
solely for the purpose of bettering
the condition of this people and
building up our state, and not at
the behest of a man who is shaping
politics to suit his financial invest
ments. We cannot blame Mr.. Mer-
rill for an honest effort to make a
living, and we can even consent to
leave Col. Cherry with his con
science to settle his culpability in
prostituting the best interests of q
whole state and people to the up
building of his private interests, but
we cannot look upon the spectacle
of a brave and generous people fol
lowing meekly the paths marked
out for his pecuniary advancement,
without feelings of consuming NOR
tifcation. Verify, Col. Cherry hath
the wool pulled over the eyes of the
people, and Col. Merrill is his chief
wool-puller, and the later Colonel
knows that the former Colonel is
doing it all, not for democracy,
(God save the namefrom such un-
holy association but his own indi-
vidual pecuniary benefit, and the
former Colonel must dispise the
things he is made to do. Col Cher
ry is con the road" and he has
bade the state to "stand and deliv-
err" and the democratic party is
holding its hands up while he goes
through its pockets.

In the neighborhood of Harmony
church, Limestone county, this
state, there is found the remains of
old Fort Hampton, which was oc-
cupied by U. S. soldiers as early as
1911. Near by is also a burying
place occupied by some of Gen.
Andrew Jackson's soldiers, who
died on their return from the
Creek War. And in the same com
munby are found living a grand
daughter of Mr.. John G. Calhoun
and frst-cousin of AIR. Jefferson
Davis. The earthworks of the old
fort are clearly seen, but the graves
of soldiers are not distinct now.
These historic places date from a
period eight years before Alabama
became a state.-Decatur News.

there can come naught but happi-

The Effect of Georgia Railroad
Laws.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
A dispatch from New York says: ::
''The Brunswick and Western road
was purchased at foreclosure sale
by strong parties here and in
Frankfort-on-the-Main, with the in
tention and agreement to extend it
westward; but upon careful investi-
CATION in the railroad laws of Geor-
gia and its effect upon railroad prop
erty they abandoned the scheme
dnd have been endeavoring for many
months to make some other dispos-
al of the property or arrange for its
being operated in connection with
other roads,
This is only another instance of
the injury that the railroad laws of
several southern states are doing.
How can capitalists be expected to
invest millions of dollars in property
over which they have little or no
control? The south is, too poor to be
driving away capital, and, instead
of doing that, she ought to be offer
ing all possible inducements TO mon
eyed men who are inclined to aid in
developing her resources.

Last week was one of horrors.
A sleeping-car full of circus EN-
ployes were roasted alive on the
Rocky mountains, near Golden; a
transfer steamboat was capsized in
the Ohio, opposite Evansville, and
two cyclones, one in Dakota, the
other in the Ohio Valley, carried
death and destruction to hundreds
of people.

Fashions Freaks.

Large patterned brocades are to be
much worn during the fall. -
Cuffs and collars embroidered in
Turkey-red are coming in vogue for
morning wear.
Tucks are alternated with lace or
embroidered flOunces and continue up
to the waist of skirts.
Chalk-white Valenciennes is the latest
lace craze for trimming black silk dresses
and black parasols.
Velveteen and poplin combine well for
severely simple walking suits, but admit
no shirring or puffings.
Coffee color and many other shades of
brown, are to be worn very much this
fall in tailor-made and other street
dresses. .t..- .s
Dyed sealskin and beaver trim many
of the imported winter sacques and
mantles. Monkey-skin will be very
much worn.
Bangs are. seldom seen now, the hair
being brushed straight back from the
catchers" over each temple.
The old style English walking hat in
pale brown and gray shades is coming
in fashion and will be worn in the street
during the coming season.
Turbans made of marabout feathers
ARE coming in style again. They will be
worn down on the forehead and not on
the back of the head as formerly.
Bagv vests are still much worn. especial.
| ly on all dresses made of soft clingine
material. On the new imported dresses
the vests are invariably made of velvet
of acontrasting color to the rest of the
dress.
At Saratoga velvet parasols are more
used than those made of silk. satin. or
any other material. They are untrimmed
save for a founce of lace of the same
color as the parasol, which IS sewed
around the edge.

little girls bring her their broken toys
and the boys come for aid when the
lessons are hard By and by marvel
GUS thing happens. She is spoken of
everywhere as 1.-THE interesting Miss
Parker" or 1.-The agreeable Miss DON
nell or "the captivating Miss Mark. !"
She has grown interesting, agreeable,
and captivating, and each quality is far
more valuable to a woman than the
possession of mere beauty without other
winning personal characteristics.
The power to converse well is a very
great charm. You think anybody can
talk? How mistaken you are! Any
body can chatter. Anybody can ex-
change idle gossip. Anybody can
recapitulate the troubles of the kitchen,
the cost of the last new dress, and the
probable doings of the neighbors. But
to talk wisely, wittily, instructively,
freshly, is an immense accomplishment.
1t implies exertion, observation, study
of books and of people, and respectfully
of impressions. No young girl can hope
to shine in conversation as her mother
does, but every girl can begin to acquire
that graceful art which viii draw intelli-
gent men and women to her side and
enable her to retain them, because they
are pleasantly entertained.-[P hilddel-

You were frightened. SO was I.
So you strolled along the terrace,
Saw the summer moon pour
All its radiance on the waters
As they rippled on the shores;
Till at length you gathered courags,
When you saw that none were nigh
Did you draw her close and tell her
That you loved her? So did l.
Well, needn't ask you further,

The women VINO Bur SHOES.

An old shoe clerk says: "a woman
buying shoes will not be reasoned with.
Americans, like the French, have always
had reputation for short feet-not
small feet mind you, but short feet with
full ankle, broad toes and arching instep.
Naturally enough they have been desir-
Gus OF maintaining this reputation, and
they still cling to the belief that small
shoes make small feet look smaller.
Whether the shoes are for herself, her
grown daughter, any of their children,
or even the babe in arms, she insists
that they must fit in length and width.
The result is her own feet are deformed
with bunions, protruding joints and such
swelling from distorted toes and ingrow-
ing nails as make her existence-in
a walking boot-a perfect penance. Poor
baby, who grows and crows by the day,
has Il shoe the exact length of his little
foot. But the foot not only works down
but grows down also; there is no room
for the frightening toes, so the joints
are pushed up and there is lateral ex-
pansion instead of n pushing down.
The consequence is the foot becomes
broad, the toes are cramped, the heel
fattened, ankle thickened, and the
natural beauty OF that organ lost. This
is all the, fault of the mother, who will
not buy the child's shoe long enough. :"
