state that the report that Mrs. Bene-

Correct XGu Are.

George Cassidy in the Sentinel
says:
Nothing could be worse for this
country than to have one political
party with controlling HE jority,
either Democratic or Republican,
and nothing can be better than to
have the parties SO evenly divided
that at every Presidential election
it is nip and tuck between them.
There is no excitement in q race
like that OF the yacht America with
the English fleet in 1862, when it
was reported to the Queen, who
asked, (Which is second pr Your
..iaiasty, the American is first and
there is no second" Ii the Repub-
iicans could have matters their own
way all the time, or the Democrats
either. this would be politically the
dullest spot on the gloDe. We
should fall into state Of indiffer-
ence about the elections, and there
would be neither humor nor health
nor profit in them; only humdrum
and drowsiness, possibly paralysis.

to do thing, he was going to succeed some
day. How it all ended we know.
"Mrs. Sharp's first child was born in log
cabin: her third in house worth $4,000
Their two daughters live. but Their only son
died some four years ago, which VS. 4 real
grief to both parents. He left son George
who is the one who was so devoted to his
grandfather during the famous Doodle trial
The elder daughter is still in Rome, is mar
ried to a man named Stephens, and has several
children. The other daughter is Mrs. Selmes;
she has two pretty young daughters One of
them shows considerable literary ability.
"After their life of hard and unremitting
toll was over both Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp took
TO study to repair their lack of early educa-
ton, and as Mr.. Sharp became immersed in
business and age crept upon them, and their
children were grown, Mrs. Sharp took to
painting, simply for recreation, and because
she felt she could do it if she tried. Her
whole house is filled with oil paintings, some
of them quite creditable under all the circum-
stances.
"She is the kindest and simplest person
imaginable, and beyond measure the most
unselfish. She is a member of the Baptist
denomination, though Sharp severed his
church connection years ago, much to her
regret.
"The home in Rome is the family's summer
residence, and whenever Sharp had one of
his attacks of heart trouble, they used to go
home where he used to pick up again at
once. They always kept that home ready for
instant occupancy.
"The purity and refinement of Sharp's
home life was something remarkable in these
degenerate days. The whole house was made
to seem like shrine for the worship of
father and all the inmates, from his wife to
the servants, were his devoted slaves. They
have had the same cook, a colored man, for
years, and the same maid servants and coach
men, and every movement in that domestic
circle revolved about father
Mrs Sharp is about feet in height,
with pleasant blue eyes, wavy gray hair, a
plump, compact build, and with most
gentle motherly expression, which was never
so marked as when she was speaking of her
husband. She has very beautiful jewels and
fine garments. Father gave me this pin last
birthday she would say, and so on, every
particular thing has its particular associa-
ton. Mrs. Sharp has fine cabinet of curl
osities, and it is a romance to hear her tell of
the different objects. Father got this here,
or that there, or somewhere else, all the way
through, and one would listen and wonder if
this were not some new made wife, with the
glamor of her girl love over her yet

the house grows such old flowers as they
loved in their youth, and they both used to
potter about among the sweet williams and
ragged robins, johnny jumpups and holly
hooks, and they used to sit on the back porch

1t was beautiful to see them.
'The bed room is perhaps the most char
acteristic room in the house. 1t is the second
story front and extends the whole width of
the house, the hall being set far back. This
room is thus fully twenty feet square with an
alcove, in which stands the old bedstead-now
cut down-which the impatient hands of the
boy lover carved. Mrs. Sharp loves this old
bedstead and will never part with it nor
relegate it to a garnet in favor of the hand
soonest bedstead ever made, and on it she will
die.
"There was a large open fire in this room
always when the air was chill, and soft easy
chairs stood near it, and a soft old fashioned
lounge, piled high with pillows whose feath-

never use any other pillows. The character

heart seemed to stop beating. At such times,
even in summer, he could not recover except
by means of an intense dry heat, and his

holding his wrists over the heat he gradually
regained his normal condition. Besides this,

The Chinese Language.

The Chinese language, Van Phou Lee said,
was the toughest he knew. He illustrated on
the blackboard the evolution of its 10000
characters out of the $50 radical word pict-
ures A circle with horizontal diameter
represented the sun, and a crescent the moon.
A figure that very closely resembles an
American schoolboy's effort to depict man,
answered the same purpose among the ancient
Chinese. Yam Phou Lee drew ''lop sided'
symbol, as he termed it, and said it repre-
sented a woman. Add broom to the picture
and you had wife. A horizontal line to
represent bolt inserted in the symbol for a
door, told you that something was ''shut"
Then Van Phou Lee drew what everybody
thought was going to be picture of a three
story house with a mansard roof. When the
finishing touches were laid on it looked as if
it had passed through an experience with an
earthquake. This, he said, was the written
form of the longest word in the Chinese Ian
guage The word, as he spoke it, was some
thing appalling. 1t meant hash.-New York

The following recital of that romance, sent
from New York by special correspondent
of this paper, will not be uninteresting at
this time
"a tiny e)g cabin with one room was
Jacob Sharps first home, and this he hewed
and built with his own hands from logs cut
from the virgin forest on his farm on what
is now part of the city of Rome, N. Y He
was then 10 years old, and came from q
stock of sturdy honest farmers who lived not
far from Buffalo. He was so hard and in
defatigable worker that everybody re-
.garded him as likely young chap before
he had reached his 18th year, though he was
considered odd enough to be a genius and
was very silent and fond of being alone and
always tinkering about with tools.
"When he was IS he became acquainted
with the young woman who later became
his wife, and they were married when he
was 10 and she II; but before he asked her to
share his life he had cleared three acres of
this farm and built this cabin, besides plant
ing his first crops.
''The cabin was about twenty feet square
and had large chimney on one side, only
one window and a front and back door, Too
poor to buy furniture for this little home,
Sharp made four wooden chairs a table, a
dresser, rush bottomed rocking chair and a
bedstead with his own hands, That bedstead
holds its position today in the splendid home
in New York, though the posts and tenting
have been removed. The headboard is high
and is carved with q sheaf of wheat and
other agricultural devices, and fruit and
foliage i'll quite high relief out of solid black
walnut and the carving was done with no
other tools than jackknife and gouge.
when this little home was completed as
far as a mans hands could do it, he brought
his young wife home, where she did the rest
She had loom set in lean to- after the
first year, and she spun and wove wool for
the neighboring farmers wives, and did
much plain needle work, while her husband
hired himself out to farmer for s.
month for three years, to clear land, and she
made their own clothes also.
EARLY mornings, and after dark, and
sometimes Sundays, this young husband
worked at his own farm, and planted and
harvested, besides clearing an acre a year at
such odd times
Poverty reigned, and the strictest econ
omy was necessary to enable them to live.
Young as they were they both put their
shoulders bravely to the wheel When their
son was born they were doubly happy, but
they found themselves obliged to work still
harder. Mrs. Sharp took her baby in her
arms and walked a mile and sometimes more
to different farm houses where she spun.
wove or sewed for the farmers wives for
from fifty to seventy-five cents a day, and
walked back at night to meet her husband
as he returned from his work. They entered
their little abode, and he held the baby while
She got supper ready. She Sarned enough
money to buy good COW, and then he for

A college professor in Maine tells how
he convinced a friend who did not be-
heve that beavers could build dams. He
bought baby beaver off hunter one
day and sent it to his skeptical friend.
The beaver became a great pet in the
house, but showed no signs of wanting to
build dams until one Monday morning a
leaky pailful of water was put on the
floor in the back kitchen. The beaver
was there; he was only a baby then,
too, but the moment he saw the water
oozing out of a crack in the pail he
scampered into the yard, brought in a
chip and commenced building his dam.
His owner was called, and watched the
little fellow, very much astonished by
what he saw. He gave orders to have
the pail left there, and the industrious
beaver kept at his work four weeks,
when he had built solid dam all around
the pail. The professors friend believes
now that beavers know thing or two
about dam building. Pittsburg Dis
