YOUTHFUL LOVERS ELoPE.-The sensa-
ton of the hour in social circles at Ottowa is
the elopement of son of the Hon. John
CARING, Postmaster-G General, with Eva
Pattee, daughter of a wealthy lumberman,
who is member of the well-known firm oil
Perley & Pattee. Young CARING was only
IS years of age, and Miss Eva was mere
child. They had been constantly in each
others company for nearly year past,
and were frequently seen together on the
street, at social assemblies, in the theatres,
at church, and in other public places
They called themselves engaged, and ask
ed permission of their parents to marry.
This was forbidden by the parents Gil ac-
count of their extreme youth. It was
thought that in the course of time the juve-
nile attachment would wear away, but in
his their parents were mistaken, for ON
Saturday neither of the youthful lovers
could be found. 1t has since been discover
ed that they left the city on Friday night
for Boston, where married sister CT Miss
Pattee resides. The parents of both of the
runaways are greatly excited over the af-
fair, out so far as can be ascertained they
have taken no steps to follow the couple.
Efforts have been made to keep the matter
quiet.

GOVERNOR VANCE GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE

[Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution
* y heard Zeb Vance telling how he
captured the votes of back woods settle
ment in North Carolina when he first rar
for Congress. He said he had never beer
in that settlement and didn't know the
bows, He didn't know their politics, mol
their habits, nor their religion. But he
sent them word he would be there to see
them on a certain day, and so he rode over
the mountain and got there and found
about sixty of the sovereign at cross-road
grocery, and he got down and hltched his
horse and began to make their acquaintance
and crack his jokes around, and thought he
was getting along pretty well with them,
but he noticed an old man with shaggy
eyebrows and big brass spectacles sitting on
chunk and marking in the sand with a
stick. The old man didn't seem to pay any
attention to Vance, and after while Vance
concluded that the old man was the bell
wether of the flock and that it was necessa-
nv to capture him, so he sided up close to
him and the old man got up and shook
himself and leaned forward on his stick and
said solemnly. "This is Mr.. Vance, be-
lieye." eyes, sir" said Vance. "And
you have come over here to sec the boys
about their votes, believe" eyes, sir, -
said Vance, ''that is my business"
swell, sir,'' said the old man, ''afore
you proceed with that business l would
like to Ak you few questions"
"Certainly, sir, certainly" said Vance.
'What church mout you belong to-"
said the old man.
That was a neutrality-suspicious. didn't
belong to any church. He knew that relig-
ion and meeting was big thing in the
backwoods, and controlled their politics,
but he didn't know what their religion was,
for North Carolina was powerfully spotted
and had nest of Episcopalians in one
place, and Presbyterians in another, and
Baptists here and Methodists over yonder,
and they never mixed, but were all one
way in settlement and so he was in di-
lemma.
But he squared himself for the response
bility, and says he:
swell, now, my friend, will tell you
about that, for it's fair question. Ofcourse
it is. Well, you see my grandfather came
from Scotland, and you know that over in
Scotland everybody is Presbyterian"
Here he paused to note the effect, but saw
no sign of sympathy with his grandpa.
"But my grandmother came from Eng
land, and over there everybody belongs to
the Episcopal church." Here he paused
again and the old man marked another
mark in the sand and spit his tobacco
away off.
'But my father was born in this country
in a Methodist settlement, and so he grew
up Methodist" Still no sign Of approval
from the cd man, and so Vance took his
last shot and said: 'But my good old
mother was a Baptist, and it's my opinion
that man has got to go under the water
to get to heaven"
The old man walked up and taking him
by the hand said, "Well you are all right
Mr.. Vance," and then turning to the crowd
said, ''boys he'll do, you may vote for him,
/ thought he looked like a Baptist" And
the old man slowly drew flask from his
coat-tail and handed it to Vance to seal his
faith.

THE BENEFITS % OF PRoTEcTIoN.-T
employees OF the Zinc Works at Bethlehem,
Pa, and of the Parryville Iron Works in
the same State were recently informed that
a reduction of fifteen cents per day had been
made in their wages. Yet this happened in
the Commonwealth which, by special re-
quest, furnished wealthy manufacturer,
Mr.. Jones, as the chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, and which boasts
so loudly of the benefits that protection con-
fers on the workingman. But the mechanics
and laborers of the United States are, as a
rule, intelligent men, and a practical illus
tration of the benefits of a high tariff, such
as is quoted above, will speedily open their
eyes to the hypocrisy of the Republican
party when it urges them to vote for pro
lection as their only means of material
salvation.-NorfoH Landmark.

THE COACHMAN TO HIS LOVE.

How beautiful the maid is, as
At the stable door she stands!
Just twenty-five years old next GRASS
And rising sixteen hands;
Her chestnut hair is banged across
Square as a hunters tail,
And her step is like Derby 'oss
A-comin' back to scale.
O Eyeleen! your madd'ning kiss
Within my memory lags
When DER the halter-chains 1 hiss
Or litter down the nags.
And when the mental fork Iply,
Or milk the mash of bran,
Your form is present to my eye
am happy man!
Fair maiden, can it be, indeed.
To win you may hope?
You to the halter may lead,
Or, at the worst, elope?
o bliss o rapture! how the thought
Illumes the harness room
That I from coachman may be brought
Up to the rank OF groom!
But ever at my anxious heart
A haunting care will prey;
How saddle be the lovers part
If dawns no bride day
Or If the maid my suit should scorn-
Her heart should 'ossify,
And should leave me all forlorn,
How wretched then were [!
But. Eveleen, tits time to bolt,
Here comes your father cross,
With the rev Oliver of the Colt,
The pistol of the boss;
Farewell, farewell, for must fly,
do not love scene,
He weighs fourteen stun more than l.
Adieu. my Eveleen!
