MIR. Dukes Explanation.


1t was at a big August meeting in Wake
county, n. c., ana there were acres Of darkies
present. The Crossing Of the Red Sea" was
the subject of the discourse, and the Rev.
Dukes, IA 'mancipated minister, was treating
it in the most frigid manner. He had just
closed by saying, Moses and the chii'un Of
Israel crossed O3er the Red sea on the ice, but
when Faro and his lumberin' big chariots
come long dey broke frue the ice and dey WAS
ali crowded" when a young man from town
arose and said:
''Brer Dukes, will you low me to ak yeu a
question:
''SartainlV; what is it?'
swell, Brer Dukes, rs bin studdin' geogra-
ply, an geography teaches me dat de Red sea
am in de tropics. What / want TO AK is dis ::
Whar dat ice cum from whar Moses crossed
Ober On2"
Brer Dukes cleared his throat, mopped his
brow, hesitated a moment, and replied:
well, Use glad you AK dat question. 1t
gives me an opportunity to 'splaln. My dear
young brer, you mustn't think cause you
war store close an bin to school dat YOU know
everything. Dis thing I'm preachin' bout
took place long time ago, fore dere was any
biographies an fore dere was any tropics"

The Letter Was Sent.
From the Nea0 YORK Ledger.

from lNc " 6tO fOfh LeCtGcf.
A young lady was engaged to a wealthy
young manufacturer. The day was set for the
marriage; the guests were invited. But few
days before the day appointed for the we'd
ding the prospective bride learned that the
firm to which her betrothed belonged was in
solvent. She Immediately wrote him a letter
breaking the engagement and bidding HIM
farewell. 1t was sent of in the greatest haste.
as there was no more than time to stop the
preparations for the wedding. Two hours
after it had been posted she learned that the
rumor OF the firms insolvency was false. Ac-
cOmpRnled by her parents she FASTENED to the
post Office to demand the return of her letter.
The postmaster politely declined to give it
up. The young lady insisted, but the post
master remained firm, The parents began to
argue the case. 1t was useless. They became
excited; their daughter became hysterIcai,
and there was scene. But appeals, en-
treaties, tears, wringing of hands and threats
of fainting were all in vain; the polite post
master had but one answer. The rule admit
ted of no exception, and the letter was
already, IN the eyes of the law, the property
of the young man. 1t was sent, and saved
him from the great misfortune OF marrying
mercenary wife. More than one tale has
been written founded on the incident of let
ter being lost or Intercepted. Perhaps il
would be well, by way of variety, for some
rising author TO found his next story upon
letter that was delivered against the sober
second thought Of the writer.

A Serious Charge.

1t is charged with such positlveness
that a minority OF the Democrats of the
Florida constitutional convention have
entered into an agreement with the Re
publicans with the view Of securing the
adoption OF certain articles repugnant to
a majority OF the Democrats that the
charge appears TO be very generally be-
leyed. If any such agreement has been
made it is 10 be regretted. II any con
siderable number Of Democrats should
act with the Republicans on any particu.
lar article, through conviction, no fault
could be found with them, even though
they succeeded in defeating the majority
OF their own party friends, but grave CON
sequences are likely 90 follow any bargain
II IL should be charged, for instance,
that some Of the most important articles
in the instrument submitted by the con-
yention 10 the people were the result 81
an ARRANGEMENT By which the Republi-
cans succeeded in getting certain adyan-
tages the people might reject the work OF
the convention. II the idea should get
abroad that the bargain was in the inter-
est OF certain ambitious persons, it would
be very difficult 10 make the people be-.
lieye that they ought 10 adopt the new
constitution.
II is a source of regret that anything
has occurred to mar the harmony of the
convention. All along it has appeared 70
be controlled by high aims and purposes
and this charge OF bargaining will be "A
sort Of a blow 10 the confidence which the
people have rep0sed IN it. n is 20 be
hoped that an inquiry will show that there
is no real foundation for the charge.

THE New York Heraid has apparently
suddenly become aware of the fact that
there ia a very strong sentiment against
the compulsory silver coinage act
throughout the country. In double
loaded article, which evidently was writ
ten under great excitement, It declares
that "unless the banefui effects produced
by that silver bill are arrested before next
winter the country will fnd itself stalk
Ing toward bankruptcy. Something must
be done, and that quickly" Nothing that
the Eerdld could have said would have
conveyed 50 wildly 10 the average mind
the danger OF the situation as that figure
ofthe country stalking with rapid strides
toward bankruptcy" But while the
HerGd is trying TO arouse public senti.
ment on this important matter Congress
man Warner is in Washington boasting
that the silver act will not De repealed or
modified.

From the Washington Post
Mr.. r. W. Glider, editor of the Century,
was at dinner next to a charming girl, whom
with somewhat decided ideas, which she
spent good deal of energy in carrying out.
what are YOU doing now?' he asked inter-
estedly of his bright neighbor.
Nothing, really nothing in particular just
now" was the reply; except, perhaps, some
verses have been writing"
"Oh, my dear child; don't do that" cried
theieditOr, in a tone of Mortified regret. ''Why,
DO you know, you are really wasting your
time? People can't get 25c. for 5000 verses
to-day"
Cant they?"-with sad surprise. 81 can,
though she continued, "t0r l received S24
for some l wrote last MONTH"
"My goOdnessw exclaimed Mr.. Glider in
mild amazement. "who paid you that?'
"Why, you didr' cried the merry girl.

There are very contrary views expressed as
to the drinking of ice water IN hot weather,
but the better opinion is that ice water may
be taken very freely, provided it is taken very
little at time. In this wayit eXerts a direct
cooling power, and supplies the material for
keeping up Precipitation. 1t is free persplra-
ton that enables a man u live IN high tenn
peratures; and when one finds the skin dry
IN very hot weather, he is in danger, very
great danger. Doubtless the drinking Of
large draught Of ice water while very warm
is dangerous. 1t sometimes brings a man
down like a shot. But the free drinking OF
cold water, little at a time, is not only safe,
but pleasant and heneficial.

A servant girl was given a deserved
whipping at Lebanon, Pa, day or two
ago. A farmers wife went to the town to
do some trading, and was gone the greater
part of the afternoon. When she returned
she found the household work untouched
and the servant girl locked in her room.
The farmers wife demanded an explana-
ton, and the servant said that she had been
forced to lock herself in her room to avoid
the amoroLs attentions of the farmer.
This story, of course, aroused the anger of
the wife against her husband, and she
went to the field where he was at work to
get an explanation. The farmer denied
the charge and, going TO the house,
whipped the girl with rawhide until she
confessed that she had cOncOcted the story
against him in order to shield her
own shortcomings. She had gone to her
room Immediately after her mistress had
gone to town, and had fallen asleep, and
had not wakened until her mistress re-
turn. The farmer easily proved that be
had not beeu out of the field during his
wife's absence.

but, as far as known, he has not been

for new sermons, it is possible that he
wouldn't refuse to serve il requested. II

he made a pretty thorough inspection Of
the seamy side Of New York.

II Is not certain that the Democrats will
have majority in both branches Of Congress
during Mr.. Cleveland's term of Office. The
question IL decided against them for the pres
ent Congress. for though they have majority
OF ~ IN the House, the defeat of Morrison by
Logan IN Illinois places them in minority of
IN the Senate. This is announcement for the
administration, for IL can neither enact nor
repeal laws, or obtain the confirmation of Its
appointments without the consent Of its oppo
nents. This will be the situation, with no
hope Of change, through The first two years
OF the Domocratic administration.

The stories about Gladstone's ill-health
are said to have very little foundation.

York Tribune says that Mr.. Gladstone,
like other men, is sometimes i'll, or rather
mas sometimes less energy than at others.
lie has felt the burden of affairs, and
talked of laying it down. In some con-
tingencies he might have retired, but not
in such circumstances as the present. If
anything is certain 1t is that he will fight
the coming campaign. Release from Of
flee gives him the rest he needed such
little rest as he Is capable Of taking. His
letter to Midlothian is, as one may cay,
apropos of nothing. There was no occa-
sion for Mr.. Gladstone TO address his con-
stituents unless he had something to say
to them and the whole country. He made
the occasion. His letter is a notification
TO all whom itmay concern that he means
to keep the command. He Is going TO see
his party through the next election.
