The Primo Factor Of a WOmanly
 Character.

"What are the prime factors of a womanly characteri 1. Imagina- tion-to enable her to put herself instantly in another's place. 2. Sympathy, which constrains her to make the other happy. This con- stitutestte art and tho fact of be- ing agreeable, which is first duty of a woman. 3. Intellectual activity, SO much swifter than mans to be almost different in kind and to be called by another name-instinct. 4. Some subtle moral superiority which gives her a special taste for and power over humanity, invol- wing a special distaste for week. ness in material things. From this it follows that woman IS the natural umpire of society, the ideal ofma Her purity should, there. fore, be not only spotless, but commanding. She ought not only to be highminded, bot to exact highmindedness. It is not enough Ia that he sbe not degraded by socie- ty. She ought to exalt society," Gail Hamilton in Philadelphia

\ KISS BY MOONLIGHT.

rom time immcmorial no one will pre- tend 10 deny the fact that kisses have been held in high repute by both eoxes- whDthet active or passive. It has been decided that LEG AL KISS implies ACTION on both parties; but when lady simply consents b be kissed without action on her lips, 1t con stitutes only a PASSIVE kiss--a sweet de- privcd of it's nectar.

ral Whitehad, of my company. We were ordered to lie down-and it is amazing how fiat even @ two hundred-pounder can make him self under such circumstances, and yet how mountainous he imagines himself to be.
 Soon we hear the notes ofa cav airy bugle. How merily it sings! how defiant its tones! how mar. tial the strains as the gentle South winds brings its cadence to our ears! It is no stranger to ns, for it's strains we have heard before, and we know their meaning. It is Custer's trumpeter rallying his dashing squadrons to the head long charge. We fall back to the foot of the hill to receive it. A Georgia brigade reinforces us. On, on they come, as though on pleasur bent. The sharp clang of sabers is heard as they fly from the scabbards. A moment more they flash in the sunlight magnlfi' gently. The enemy ascends the summit of the hill and dash on us. We pour in a deadly and appalling yolley and thirty brave fellows fall from their saddles. The con- flict is short, sharp, and decisive, and tho gallant Custer and his sqadron fall back before over whelming numbers as gaily and gallantly as they came, But the lines are closing around us, and the Confectionery was in it's death troes. Four hours later and the bloody conflict of Sailors Creek closes the last chapter in it's mel ancholy history.
 Nearly all of Ewell's corps was captured. On, the anguish of the hour! We saw surrendered eigh- teen battle. flags which bore upon their tattered folds the historic names of Manassas, Cold Harber, the Wilderness, and Spottsylvania Court House, Wait! Every cloud has it's silver lining. The next morning after a refreshing slnm Der on the sweetest of all beds the bare ground-we arc again marshalled in line. Down that line came General Custer. By his yellow hair and boyish face he IS known to all of us. Near the cen ter of the line he turns to his band and orders them to play "Dixie.' AS the marvellous strains of the Confederate war-song floated in liquid sweaeness around us and over us, we break into tumuit' uous cheering. General Custer waves his hat. and thousand gal lant soldiers in blue dash their caps in the air.
 Such was General Custer in the presence of q conquered ioe' Here might the artist have fouhd his inspiration for "Custer's Last Rally" and the Southern poet who wrote
 "The nations of the earth shall know That love- not hate, along can glow
 In soldicr-hearts by valor tried
 On many field, and this our pride,
 When heroes of the Blue and Gray
 Shall each to each due homage pay,
 And scorn with all their martail souls

 Who summed the conflict they had bred
 And live but to malign tho dead" A Confederate Soldier ia SontA- erm Bir Omdc.

THE NEED.
For Representation of this State at
 the New Orleans Exposition

LITTLE RocK, July 7th, 1885. Editor Arkansas Gazette.
 At the Southern exposition at Louisville, in 1883, Arkansas took first premium for the best general display by any State, and at the same exposition we were first in timbers, first in minerals, first in cotton, grains and grasses, and first in taxidermy. At the Cotton Centennial and Worlds Industrial Exposition, New Orleans, where all the great nations of the world met in friendly competition, Ark. ansas yas first on all that was en- tered for premiums, namely, fruit and cotton.
 To-day Arkansas stands before the world as the most wOndeful of all the States in natural resources and climatic advantages. But we cannot afford to stop here. The first two steps arc taken and the next is within easy reach. The re. opening of the worlds exposition at New Orleans where we already have a fine collection of timber, minerals and agricultural products will enable us through promised as- sistance outside to attend the great American exposition in London in 1886, where Arkansas can show her great natural advantages to the people ofthe old world and SC. cure for our undeveloped sections a thrifty and industrious immigra- ton so necessary to our improve ment and general prosperity. Through our very efficient acting U. s. Commissioner, Gen. McRae, arrangements were made with the management of the New Orleans exposition granting permission to all the States wishing to make an exhibit at London to remove their exhibits from New Orleans in March, 1886 if consigned to the American exposition in London. While little expense to the State the timber, mineral and agricul' tural exhibit can be made better than last year and with little trouble or expenses the jar fruits can be made equal to last year, which places us beyond all successful competition, and with a good, active agent to cooperate harmo- uiously with the State horticultural society, the show of green fruits can be made the best in the world. With an unexpended balance of the exposition fund still on hand sufficient to make a better show at New. Orleans than ehibited by us last year. The people are anxious and unanimous in the opinion that Arkansas should again come to the front. Immediate action IS necessary. Earnestness on the part of the authorities must be made manifest and the people of tho State are ready and willing to respond to all reasonable demands upon them for assistance in again making the Arkansas exhibit first best in all the natural resources. For many courtesies, and material assistance rendered me during the past two years that l have been engaged in exposition work. 1avail myself Of this opportunity of pub licly thanking my friends through out the State, and to the press, who are ever ready and willing to assist in all things tending to build up our country and benefit thei r fellow man, I wish them tho sue. cess and happiness in life tliey so richly merit.

Considerable excitement was caused on
Change Saturday morning by the posting
of 100000 bushels of wheat, which Chief
Inspector Reelkey had found in Canton
Elevator No. 3, out Of condition, or, as
the notice said, weevil'y and warm It
has been some years since any wheat has
been posted in Baltimore city, and it is
unfortunate that it should have happened
Just at this time, when business is 80 dull
that it takes very little to depress the mar
ket. The immediate result Of the posting
was decline in November options of a.
bout 2 CTS. per bushe, and an Increase of
three uarters of cent in the difference
between November and December. Some
of the posted grain has been stored in ele-
vator No. 3 since September, 1888. The
rule of the Canton Elevator Company, a.
greed to 10y the Corn and Flour Exchange,
is that all posted grain mus, be removed
within five days. The wheat is owned by
various parties, and no one will sustain
any heavy loss by the heating which led
to the posting.

views in the Monumental city should be

When the Senate meets there will be a
list of between five and six hundred post
masters appointed during the recess sub
mitted for confirmation. In addition it is
estimated that during the session Of Con-
gress the terms of at least six hundred
postmasters will expire, so that the nomi-
nations of over one thousand postmasters
will come before the Senate during the
next session. There are 1885 presidential
postmasters in THIS country, and at the
rate that has been observed during the
past six months all the presidential post
masters will be changed in two years

On last January the fourth-class
postoffice at Holdredge, Nebraska, was
placed on the list of presidential offices
Although nine months have elapsed since
that occurrence, not single application for
the position of postmaster at that place
has yet been received at the Postoffice De-
partment, nor has any recommendation
been made looking toward appointment.
Consequently the postmaster, although he
is holding a fourth class commission, is
receiving the compensation of a presiden-
tial postmaster. This state of affairs is
said to be without precedent in the his
tory of the department.

The Maryland Republicans and the
CoIored Voter

We commented lnst week on the fact
that the Republican party of Maryland.
when in complete control of the State
from 1864 to 1866, had failed utterly to
make any provision for the education of
the cotared Popu alton of he State and
had left the mater to be taken up by the
Democratic State government Na'with-
standing the reck css extravaganza with
which the treasury OF the state was de-
pleted cf its last dollar and a haavy debt
saddled upon the people, it did not once
occur to the white Republicans of tie
State to make any appropriation fnr the
education Of the colored youth.
The following resolution unanimous y
adopted by the Republican State conven-
ton, which met in Baltimore city, June
9th, 1866. goes to show the attitude which
the Republican party Of the Safe then
held to the co'ored population and ex-
plains fully its action in making no pro
vision for their education:
"Resolrsd That we are pledged to the main
tenance of the present Constitution of Mary
land whick expressly and emphs,ically prohi
bits both rebej suffrage and negro suffrage. and
we are equally determined TO uphold the Reg
istry Law, which distranchises rebels and ex-
ciu1es negroes from poting and have no desire
or intention of resembling abolishing either
the Constitution or the Registry Law"
We ask our coloIed friends to take
look at this and then ask themselves how
much cheek it requires on the part of the
Mary!a republicans of to day, an the
so-called republicans of Charles county,
to be now claming'the support OF the colo
red voters, as a matter Of right, due to
grateful remembrance Of the past fiyors OF
the Republican party Of Maryland. Col
ored men are you going TO be deceived
any longer by the false pretenses of these
deceitful white politicians! Compare he
above vile resolution, which expresses the
true sentiments Of the Republicans of this
State for the colored man, before he be-
came voter, with the resolution adopted
by the late Democratic county convention,
to be found elsewhere in this paper, and
say which ticket is really EMIT ed to your
support!

The returns from the election in Ohio
thus far attainable indicate the election of
Forakar, Republican, for Governor by a
plurality above 10000; but there seems to
be doubt about the political complexion
of the Legislature. 1t is said that the re-
suit in Hamilton county will determine
the question as to which party will have
the Legislature on joint ballot and the re-
turns in that county are so mixed and
close that the official count will be neces-
sary to decide. The probabilities in Ham
ilton county are favorable to the Demo
Gratis. If the Democrats should have the
Legislature on joint ballot Mr.. John Sher-
man would be retired from the U. S. Senate.

Cardinal John McCloskey, the only
American prelate holding that title and
the head of the Catholic Church here, died
in New York on Friday last after linger-
ing illness. Cardinal McCloskey was a
man distinguished alike for deep learning
and christian piety and his death will be
universally incurred by all irrespective of
creeds. His funeral took place yesterday,
the sermon being preached by Archbishop
Gibbons, of Baltimore. His sickness and
death has called forth kind expressions
from every quarter. Although the head
of the Catholic Church in this country,
Protestant of all sects have spoken of him
in terms Of homer, and one representative
convention of Baptists offered a special
prayer on his behalf as he lay on his
death-bed.
