Gen. Roberts, of the Washington
Herald, has this story to say of the fe-
male population of the south:
"From where the tide washes the Po-
tomac and Chesapeake beach; from tho
pure streams that flow from icc-c0ld
Kentucky springs in the blue grass land;
from the banks of far-off southern rivers,
where the ever-moaning pines sung her
lullaby there comes TO the nations capi-
tai type of American girl of whom my
poor pencil is not worthy Not very
well educated, perhaps. for she grew up
just as her birthland was healing from
the sears of savage war. she seems TO
know-by instinct. perhaps all that
makes the sex adorable and worthy of
love and honor. She does not read
much, for she has not been able to get
the books. She knows nothing of the
renaissance in art, and mayhap has
never heard of Ruskin. but when she
has overcome her shyness she can talk
intelligently and sometimes with per-
ception that astonishes, and listen APP
preciatively. She could not give you
any of the rules of dress that modern
art has laid down, but her costumes are
chosen with born good taste that is
never at fault.
The southern girl shines brightest at
home. She has not forgotten the old
time respect that children should have
for their mothers who gave them life
and the graceful affection in which she
holds the gray-haired women who kept
a brave heart amid the horrors of war
and. in the sickening days of poverty
and privation that followed in its train,
and, though she had all this to bear,
has taught her young daughters lessons
of self-respect, of courage in misfor-
tune, that can never be cffaced. Those
of true, modest womanhood she did not
need to be taught, for they were inher-
ent. When the southern girl walks on
the avenue she is as distinctly recognize
able as though, she was marked From
Georgia. or placarded an Alabamian. ;
Her step is easy, for it was learned from
Dame Nature herself. and the slender
feet might belong to the daintiest ankle
that ever cleaned in the shadows of the
orange walk at Seville. You never knew
before how lovely costume of simple
white could be, and yet you say to your
self that the costliest device of the cum
ningest milliner in the Rue de Bac could
not be more effective in demolishing the
masculine heart. Every woman who
sees her knows that that hat was the
work of the wearer's slender fingers, but
how becoming it is, lighted by the soft
est, sweetest brown eyes and as you
look, your thoughts are miles away from
the crowded avenue and its ever-chang-
ing scenes. You are young again and
the romance of the far south comes
back, and you smell the orange trees as
they were in bloom so many years ago,
and with Owen Meredith you uncon-
sciously say:
"Oh,that We were eternally young! :"

From the Inter-0cean.
Poets think there is very little 10 q
name-an opinion that is not shared
by all business men. many of whom
are inclined to associate much Of their
success with the popularity or
enphony of the firms name. Where
this is the case it is not an uncommon
thing to see the name retained long
after the withdrawal or decease OF one
of the partners. An example to this
kind is the firm Of Storm, Hill a. Co.,
located on Madison aud Franklin
streets Early 10 the year an elderly
| spinster who does the soliciting for
one of the w. G. NJ. charities called
at the store and asked to see Mr..

The next visit was made the last
of the month, about half-past ten
o'clock in the morning, when the
tardiest merchant is supposed to be
at his desk.
I'D like to see Mr.. Storm. please =
said the lady, bowing q familiar sort
of good morning to the grim cashier.
"He's not 10"
"Not down yet, eb?n and without
waiting for an answer she went OF,
to return the next day.

"May wait for himY"
"CeriaiDly."
And she seated herself in a chair
near the steam coil ADD began to read

knowledge of her mistake her inn

some twelveminutes she went back TO
the interlocutor and asked:

The four Louisiana Democrats who
voted against the consideration of the
Morrison bill because it reduced the
tariff on sugar ten per cent, along
with other reductions on every article
necessary to life and comfort, may yet
have cause to regret.thcir desertion of
this Democratic principle. The failure
OF the Democratic majority to redeem
that pledge may result in the defeat
of enough Democrats to give the
House to the control of the Repub-
leans without the aid of the treacher-
Gus Democrats; then the Republicans
will remove the tariff on sugar, and
the Louisiana Democrats will realize
that the Democratic uniform reduc-
ton all around would have been
even healthier for their sugar indus
tries.
