Nor the place OF the tallest and c~ostliest build

Nor the place of the best libraries and schools,

Nor the place of the most numerous population.
Where the city stands with the brawnIest breed

Where the city stands that Is beloved by these,

them;
Where no monuments exist to heroes but I'm the
common words and deeds9
Where thrift is In its place, and produce is In it,

Where the men and women think lightly of the

Where the slave ceases, and the master of slaves
ceases;
Where the populace rise at once against thenever

Where fierce men and women pour forth, as the
sea to the whistle of death pours its sweep

Where the city of the faithfulest friends stands;
Where the city of the cleanliest OF the sexes

A good deal of amusement is furnished
this spring by the wife of a certain SEN
ator who always calls her husband Oar
ling" He isn't such a one as the term
would be ordinarily applied to, being big
and burly and not very nice about his
person, but she seems to think it is n
pretty pet name, and uses the term of
endearment ON all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him in private or public,
or whether she speaks of him to others,
she always says ''darling, :" and does it so
frequently that when Darling is re-
ferred to now everybody knows who is
meant.
Darling has such a bad cold," she
said to another senator's wife the other
day, ''that l am going to put him to bed
when he comes home"
Darling yer to the Capitol early this
morning." she remarked to another, ''to
attend one of those horrid committee
meetings. What dreadful things they
arel positively hate them. Why, Oar
ling says if it wasn't for his committee
work he could spend lots of time with
me-"
The other senators have ''caught on, /"
80 TO speak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term-in his
absence of course. One senator came
very near making a blunder the other
day by using it at the wrong time. He
entered the committee room a little late,
and as he took off his coat and gloves,
looked around the table, at which half q
dozen or more senators were seated, and
asked:
"'Where's Darling?"
There was some frantic gestures toward
a bookcase at the other end of the room,
and the late conner blushed deeply and
looked alarmed. Darling was behind
a map rack, where he could not be seen,
andif he overheard the remark he showed
no sign. -Memphis Avalanche.

Well bred people make a great outcry
against the bucolic habit of conveying
food to the mouth with u knife. They
maintain, quite correctly, that the knife
is intended for cutting the food, and the
fork for lifting it to the lips. Then why
is it not rs barbarous to cut with a fork
rs to carry with q knife2 1t has become
the fashion to provide only a fork with
certain dishes, such as pastry and many
kinds of. dessert. On what grounds can
this be defended The custom is, in
truth, a silly afTectation. Apparently it
sprung from an idea that one can eat
more elegantly with a fork alone. If
the food requires no cutting, this may be
so, but whenever there is anything TO be
cut q knife should be provided. The
idea of cutting with q foET Is fully aS
primitive and preposterous as the idea of
carrying with q knife, and the embar-

are being led continually, by persisting

Gen Benjamin Harrison was born ia the

great difficulty in providing him with a suit

At the age Of 81 he was admitted to the bar,
and started in life as a lawyer IN Indianapolis,
his sole capital being 5000 which his father
managed 70 gather up for him. lie made an
immediate success in his profession. and at the
outbreak Of the war was n the enjoyment Of
lucrative practice. Having a young wife and
family to provide for he did not feel as if he
should respond to the first call Of the Govern
ment for troops, but in 1862, when the fortunes
Of the war took q depressing turn, he began
recruiting a regiment. He raised a company,
but would only accept the commission Of Sec
Ond Lieutenant in It. BE was shortly promoted
to First Lieutenant and then TO Captain, and
by regular grades TO the COIoneley Of the 10th
