HIS PROVINCE.

A lady and small boy were travelling in an open buggy. A heavy rain storm having come up. they were forced to take shelter in a house by the wayside, Shortly aAer they entered the house, Judge Bo~lsy aashsd up. dasmouased and ran into the room. He was we'll known to the family who lived in the house and the boy noticing the welcome with which he was received. asked:

 For time he sat tn silsnce, eating . biscait which his mother had produced from a leather bag, but lsng con tinued silence was not his province. He may not have doubted its golden qualities bu. he much preferred the silvery jingle of speech. "Your horse will get wet, won't he "Yes."

LIM NINGS.

Mississippians are sometimes philo- sophical. A Vicksburg man chopped of one of his small toes. When some one expressed sympathy, he said: "Oh, this ain't nsthin'. You ought to have seed my father before the war. He chopped of his big toe"
 It has been discovered that New Or leans is not the centre of American civil ization. The we'll organized system oi robbery which the hotels, boarding houses and lunch counters of that city maintained during the exposition was quite enough to give any one sn 1nssvo.- able impression of the place. Instead oi being benefited, New Orleans was in- jured by the exposition.
 It is rather strange that the present ad- minissration takes delight in making so many objectionable appointments. Theie arc many honorable and capable demo- crats in the country. from among whom it would be an easy matter to select un. objectionable officers. The president showed more pigheadedness than sagacity in his refusal to recall Kelly It was obstinacy that held up America in an unfavorable light. The Italians and the Austrians must think that repre- sentative men are scarce in this country.
 The American nation has celebrated another birthday and the young orator, who, it was advertised, possessed sill very tongue, has returned to his place be- fore the justice of the peace. The Fourth of July is godsend to the siivery tongued orator. Old men of established reputa- ton do not attempt to rob him of his honor. Old men are nearly always gen. ese:s. They knc~ that the silvery tongued orator has his fortune to make. In law case, involving the ownership oa a steer, the old lawyers browbeat the sil- very tongued orator. To watch them then one would suppose they never in- tended that he should have a chance, but when the Fourth of July comes, they turn humanely to their young rival and allow him to read the Declaration of Indepen- dence. If 1t were net for this young man, our national anniversary would become commonplace. The sky-rocket merchant and the ice cream man would claim the day. There would be no enthusiasm, no eaoquence. When the young man be- comes old, he will gladly relinquish his claim. He will do it without regret. The alvezy tongued orator never becomes seally great He hasn't time to throw sway among books. He must turn loose hs dlvsry uttezance&
