AN IMPORTANT oUEaTIoN.

What Is the most interesting age
in womanf" was q question recently
discussed by An artist. an author, and
q society woman. The artist said that
he did not like 10 paint the portraits OF
those between the ages of Is and 40
ye rs. Before IS the face has an ex-
pectancy which charms. Ii is looking
forward with joyous freshness and
hope, and is full OF pushing promise.
At ~ years the character Is formed
and the lines Of the countenance are
strong for the painters study: bat in
intervening years the face has lost IL
expectancy, Is apt TO be Indifferent and
has no part calar interest.
The author differed from the artist
He liked To study women between the
ages OF 20 aud 40. They had then the
experience OF the world and the JOY.
BUSINESS OF youth. In those years they
were brightest and most interesting
The suciety woman thought IL was i'm.
possible 70 make general answ, rs q
the question. rs individual women
differ IN regard 10 the most attractive
age. Some are most charming at u
years, while Others have passed theft
prime III 80 The best answer woult
be that women are Always beautiful to

MAJ PETITE .sIsINTERPRETED.

N'~'"' q 80 IJTis' q '%hhs va 'Nf)s
There seems TO bca great deal OF unnec-
essary comment and deliberate misinter-
probation Of what Mai. Petit said to an
APPEAL reporter as 70 the relations between
the whites and the blacks. Maj. Petit
simply recognized condition that might
be II Republican ,marplots Of both colors
should persist in the course OF secur-
ing Republican domination in Shelby
county by stimulating race prejudice.
Mai. Petit deprecated such a course and
distinctly intimated that the responsible
whites and the better class of negroes re-
GREETED such persistence, and what Maj.
Petit said was wholly in the interest
OF peace-not the peace OF intimida-
ton, but the peace that will certain
ly ensue should there be maintained that
sympathetic relation between the races
which has existed and which should con-
tinue to exist. The effort OF certain Re-
publicans to distort his words from their
meaning is very much like that Of the man
who declared the Bible said that "there is
no Cod" and justified his assertion by
pointing TO the passage. "the fool hath
said in his heart there is no God" The
negroes should remember that what Mai.
Petit said Of the necessity OF white domi.
nation in the South, was but the echo of
the expressions OF Senator Stewart, OF Ne
vada, Justice Mcclure. Of Arkansas, and
Judge Russell, Of North Carolina. Mai.
Petit meant neither unkindness nor in
timidation. Rather was II a plea, by
showing the tendency OF their race,
under the had advice of selfish guides, TO
turn toward those who have their best in
tcrests at hcart-thc Democrats OF the
South who own the property Of the South,
and who furnish the employment by
which the negroes live. Maj. Petit had
nothing in mind other than this. lie
spoke in an ofhand way, frankly, hon
cstly and without suspicion that men who
have money to make by keeping the ne
grocs masscd against tho whites would
perycrt his meaning. The hope Of the
negro lies rather in following the lead Of
such men as Maj. retti than that OF those
who would turn tho hands OF the clock
backward in order that the time when
vultures preycd upon the South may come
again.
