was Grace's private comment, that Mrs.

"Oh, Grace" said l, when Is so kind to
us-when this very day she is going to let

Indeed, at that moment it was hanging
about our shoulders.
"You mean she has other people to be
kind to U.S." answered Grace. dryly. Miss
Sally cooks things for us, and the Doctor
goes to the woods after yellow jasmine, and
Tempe is going to shampoo my hair, for
which she will get fifty cents. Oh, am not
denying she is kind; but the kindness is
rather by proxy, don't you Think"
Temples knock on the door saved me the
necessity OF any reply. Tempe was Mrs.
Ravenels maid. ("Why do they keep a
maid if they are so poor?" said Grace.)
She was a relic of the past, having been
a slave on the Asbury plantation. She was
black, but she was not comely; still she was
gods. and of a sweetly cheerful disposition.
Nothing could mai Temples good humor.
Mistress OF herself though China fall, " she
had been known to smash Il tray full of
dishes, merely s%oliloquizing above the

Tempe liked nothing better thar to dis

the high hand that they had carried for

GrWNNl, in the opinion Of Chicago
importer, has the inside track "a re-
CARDS the Mexican trade, and the rca-
sons he gives are as follows: "The Ger
man manufacturers are the only ones
who make any attempt to cater TO the
peculiar wants Of the MeNicans. Eng
lnnd and the United States send down
their regular wares which are mauulac-
tured for use in the home countries, and
the result is very limited sale, They
do not seem to think that the customs.
manners, climate, and dress Of the McNi-
cans are entirely different from those of
their countries. The German uanurac-
turers, especially those OF Hamburg,
make especial Efforts to meet the de-
mauds OF the Mexican trade. They send
agents to study the wants Of the people
there, and they manufacture certain
lines Of goods for no other market. The
result is that vast and profitable trade
has been built up and the commercial
confidence Of the two countries In each
other greatly strengthened"

sir SOMETIMES appears says the
Cincinnati Times-Stlr, "that Southern
Republicans are too easily discouraged.
Perseverance is a great thing In poll
ties. To get into the habit of furesee-
ing defeat, and therefore letting cleo
tions go practically by default, can have
but one result-the permanent continu-
anoe Of Democratic rule. II is rather
surprising that such man as lIoratlo
Bisbeo, Jr,, eX-Congressman from the
Second District Of Florida, should per-
nit himself to become so despondent
and weak-kneed as to declare that
"about the only thing the Republican
party can hope for In the South is
in the Border States, such as Virginia,
West Virginia and Tennessee" Why,
Mr.. Bsbee's own State was carried
by the Republicans in 1872 and in 1876,
and General Garfield five years ago re-
ceiyed lj.s2 per cent. OF the vote. and
Mr. Blaine last year received 1903 per
cent. Of the total vote OF 50,0Gl. Mr.
Cleyeland's majority was only 3,57l
Mr.. Bisbee and others Of his way Of
thinking ought to pluck up courage and
show bold front. The condition and
prospects Of Republcanism down Soutl
are by no means hopeless. The opinion
in favor of protection steadily advance
into the stronghold Of free trade. 1t per
meaies the border States and will il
time inevitably undermine the ancien
and out-of-date fabric of free trad
Democracy in the Gulf States.n
