bought in Richmond or Norfolk. Their
yard will be thoroughly fitted up for the

consumers of the trouble and expense of
getting their coal as they have heretofore
done. You give your order for what sen:

his own against great odds and while others
have gone down even with more favored
circumstances surrounding them our friend
of the Gazette has gone steadily forward

pie Of his town and county. Esteemtng it
pleasure always to hampion their cause
he has rot wearied i'll we'll doing and has
labored perhaps when there appeared to
be little encouragement for so doing. The
Gazette has been of great service to its town
and county and the honest and chivalrous
sons of old Warren ought to come up to its
support with appreciative hearts and gen
erous hands. They owe it nothing less

me French woman,s WRITINGS.

The ome of France are almost uni
versally misunderstood and misjudged,
because Of the writings of such novelists
as Dumas fas and Feydeau. The French
woman is not a whit the inferior of the
English or American woman. The mid
die class woman in the United States is
better educated than the average woman
of the same class in France. On the
other hand the French woman is more
active; she shares her husbands labors
and often, indeed, takes more than her
share. Often her labors begin in the
early morning, to end only at midnight,
or later still. The French woman of the
lower middle class does not hold it be-
meath her dignity to perform the hum
blest household duties, while at the same
time she is lively, pleasant and always
willing to talk. She is as faithful to her
husband as any American or English
woman il the world. and it is the merest
delusion TO suppose that family life in
France is undermined. Mrs. Frank

Masters of Sword and Pen.

Gen. Sheridan handled the pen as
deity as the sword. When his autobi-
ography was concluded it was submitted
to q distinguished literary critic. When
asked for his opinion of the style, the lat
ter replied that he became so absorbed in
reading about Sheridan's fights that he
forgot all about the style of the nara
tive. 1t is a notable fact that great sol
diers are usually successful when they
lay aside the sword for the pen. Caesar
and Xenephon described their own cam
paigns better han any historian who
ever attempted the task. N~apoleon's let
tiers will stand as models of style for all
time. Cardinal Newman considers We'll
lington's dispatches the best specimens
of compact English in existence. Gen.
Grants book has now universal praise
for its directness and simple purity of
style. Won Moltke, too, though ~''silent
in seven languages, F" is a most vigorous
and eloquent writer, as his letters from
the Orient testify.-Once a Week.

Tho Wonderful Human Brain.

According to the novel computation of
a renowned histologist, who has been cal
culating the aggregate cell forces of the
human brain, the cerebral mass is COM
posed of at least 800, 900, 600 of nerve
cells, each an independent body, organ
ism and microscopic brain, SO far as con-
Germs its vital functions, but subordinate
to q higher purpose in relation to the
function Of the organ; each living n sep
arate life individually, though socially
subject toHa higher law of function. The
lifetime Of a nerve cell he estimates TO be
about sixty days, so that 5000, 600 die
every day, about 200, 900 every hour,
and nearly $500 every minute, to be
succeeded by an equal number of their
progeny; while once in every sixty days
a man has q new brain.-Berlin Gazette.

UNJUSTIFIED.

The Sun this morning attempts to give
a mild paraphrase of Judge Carey insult
to Governor Moonlight. The best time to
remedy a deliberate insult, not only to the
man but the Office he holds, is before you
shoot off your mouth. What does the
outside world think of the political ethics
of Wyoming when a congressman, who
prides himself on having been endorsed
by both parties, holding the commission,
boasting of the great consideration he has
had from a Democratic congress, without
the shadow of %provocation, calling the
governor of the territory "a Kansas

GIVE US LESS CAN'T

The quee7est feature of the campaign so
far, from a newspaper standpoint, is the
milk and water appeals made by the Eddy
street organ to the people to support
Judge Joseph Carey. The method which
it pursues is something like the following:
Good, kind, gentle Mr.. Voter please
do vote for Judge Joseph Carey. He is
a truly good man such as is too seldom
vouchsafed to the vulgar people of the
roaring West. Indeed he is truly good.
He is better than any man We know; he
is even better than ourself. He doesn't
own a newspaper; he has never owned a
newspaper and he wouldn't own a news
paper if he could. There is nothing in it
for us to support him. We do it out of
the pure goodness OF our heart and the
wicked people who say that we must
Jump if somebody pulls the string will
fully misstate the facts and will receive
their punishment Ia the hereafter. 1t is
pleasant TO support him. In fact we
don't know Of anything which could give
the same amount Of unalloyed Joy as to
support Judge Carey. Now good, kind,
gentle Mr.. and Mrs. Voter please favor
us this once and vote for Judge Carey
and you don't know how happy you will
make us feel.
And SO it proceeds dd Museum. Avaunt
with such Pecksnifian can't If you
want to support Judge Carey support
him like a man but the patient public has
had a surfeit of such milksop appeals fol
sympathy.

Russians Horses and Boots.

In Moscow, a. well as everywhere in
Russia, the horses are very fine and very
fast. They have the build of race horses,
with their slim legs and far reaching
necks. Even some Of the droskies have
full blooded horses, and their drivers are
able to obtain a iLncy price for their use.
Horses and boots are the two things that
Russians seem to pride themselves upon.
They may not have any stockings-and
few Of the lower classes wear them at all
but boots they must have and will
have. Boots with high morocco tops,
and worn with the pantaloons tucked
into the tops, SO that every inch shows;
and then, like the Mexican with his
spurs, they are dressed. = Henry NJ.
Wright in Detroit Free Press.
