 WHEN woman will she will, and when she wont she wont, and that's an end on it., was aptly illustrated ill the case of Mrs. Amison, Very wealthy lady, who is confined in jail at Cleveland, Ohio, for refusing to di- vulge secret, and she gives no evi- dence of lowing down to the laws decree. T will live and die in jail before l do says the modern Sphinx. 
 TIE need of the world is not men, but MAN. Manhood that cannot be bought or sold, compromised or forgot ten under the pressure of gam or glory, pain or poverty is the choicest and grandest jewel in the world. The mere public suiter can never possess it. The men who studiously and con- tinually ignore the moral sides of every public question have very doubtful claims to it. Human poli- cies rest on the sand; moral principles are the pillars of the eternal throne.- R. 5. D. in Marianna Index.
 TIE female mayor of Argonia, Kan sas, has made the men of the town, who elected her for d joke, feel that they had caught tartar. She has put a stop to their poker games, billiard playing, and other funny business" after 9 pm. There has not been cowboy jamboree, nor real old-time jollilication with shooting-iron chorus, since she took her seat. Everybody is in bed by 9:30, and the sports are skip ping the town. The joke that caused her election will not be repeated if the jokers survive her term of office.
 NUCH comment has been caused by the way the republican club sat down on the colored man at the banquet to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Lincoln last week in New York. Although the club was repre- sented by nearly three hundred mem- bers and a large number of invited guests, not a cOlored man was present to represent the race whose emancipa- tion caused the death of him whom they met to eulogize.' It is the vote they want-not his society.

 THE Paris Express says the agri- cultural wheel is a good institution and the condition of it's members has been improved, but the people of Logan county have had about enough of the political wheel, inasmuch as no one has been benefited by the organi- zation except the officers who were elected on the reform ticket. Away with the political wheel and office seeking demagogues, and let the farm CTS run the agricultural wheel in a way that will advance the agricultural interests" If the wheel officers of Logan county have managed the affairs of that county badly the thing to do is to turn them out. The wheel which has no higher conception of its mission than the giving of office to few hungry politicians is bad lnStltu- tion.-Arkansas Democrat.
 THERE was a certain minister in West Tennessee-the suburb of Chel- sea-uho closed his rented window blinds to prevent his children looking out at the Mardi Gras procession, as it passed through the streets. This caps the climax. The amount of sin that an innocent child would commit by looking out of window at street parade is fearful to contemplate. The writer of this item has noted the winding up of children so raised for the past thirty years, and all those who have not been hung have been sent to the State prison. Considering the en- and refinement of this age, it is astonishing that such men are permitted to live and tantalize the community in which their ugly car casses exist.
