awfully good that chalk wonld make a

had tantrum, and Molly was terrifcally
proper They were together in the play
room, and their mother overheard the
following dialogue;
"Tilly, you're bad p

"Oh, Tilly you say all those naughty,
wicked words on purpose. I'm going to
pray for you.
''You needn't"
"But shall, right now"
"Ii You do. I'll holler so God can't hear
you"
III you can holler louder than l can
pray, Tilly, all right, but l don't think
you can.
Thereupon Molly began to pray fer.
vently and vigorously, and Tilly to bang
on the table with tennis racquet and
shout at the top of her voice. It went
something like this
Molly-"Ol God Tilly is in tan

Tilly-"Bang, wow-wow-wo bang,

This was all carried on at the top of
their voices until both were compelled to
stop for breath.

marked Tilly.

freaks was brought TO the manor to look
at her. He agreed to pay Elizabeth
salary which in a week would buy the
Iyska family more blue cotton gowns and
wooden shoes and bread and honey than
they could use up in year Frau Lyska
said IAN right. Elizabeth was imme-
diately put on exhibition, and within two
weeks was famous throughout the two
German empires.
Elizabeth is handsome. She has long

clean-cut features aud white teeth. Her
figure is shapely, though somewhat i'm
mature She has very fetching smile,
which has made her the object of all
sorts of attention from light headed
young men, Three students of law, an
elderly man who pretended to be a Frei-
herr, and any number of yonng trades
men have written her love letters. Ten
of her correspondents were willing to
wait for her to grow up" If she were
not already willing TO love them. Eliza
beth, however, is too childish still to be
even amused by this one sided cor
respondence. She is contented TO play
with her dolls, and paper puzzles, and
picture books while not on exhibition for
the benefit of the rest of the Lysla fam
lily. She is altogether happy and salts
fed with her new life on the stage. Her
appetite, strength and height are increas

strength In time her manager thinks
she will be the champion strong woman

Elizabeth Lyska is the most famous
child in the German empire. All Vienna
called upon her few weeks ago when
she was at the Austrian capital and now
all Berlin Is calling upon her.
Professors, and officers, and doctors,
and privy councillors, and other German
big wigs are received by her daily. Even
the great Virchow passed several hours
with her, chatted with her Familiarity,
and eventually wrote an elaborate de-
scription and biography Of her which he
will read soon before the Anthropological
Society Of Berlin.
Elizabeth is getting all this attention
not because she is pretty or clever. but
because she is big According to Vir-
chow, she is the biggest girl Of her years
whom Europeans of modern times have
seen. Though but II years old, she is 6
feet inches tall, and weighs about 300
pounds
Elizabeth was born on the Manor
Wiessolyj in the valley of the Danube.
Her parents were poor peasants not
taller nor broader than other peasants.
She was the youngest Of five children,
none of whom, save herself. is re-
markably large. Four hours after her
birth she weighed ten pounds. She grew
as other children grow till she was 4
years old Then she began to be little
giantess. In her fifth year she gained ten
inches in heighth. She outgrew her blue
cotton gowns and wooden shoes so rap
idly that Papa Lyska, who was trying to
support Mamma Lyska and four other
other little Lyskas on something over
800 year, was put to his wits ends tc
get money enough to keep her decently
clothed.
From her ffth to her ninth birthday
she grew only an inch or two. Between
her ninth and tenth birthdays she gained
foot; between her tenth and eleventh
foot and four inches. She could pitet
hay, cut grain, plough and dig potatoes
with any man ON the manor. Her hanc
was as large as three ordinary feminine
hands, and her arm was capable of ter
rible blow. With an open. handed cuff
over the ear she once knocked younf
man, who teased her, senseless to tn,
ground.
Her appetite became enormous. Fol
breakfast she took several cups Of coffee
seven or eight thick slices of black bread
almost pint of honey, and half dozeI
of pieces Of the fruit in season. For din
ner she often ate pound and half Of
two pounds Of pork. I've or six potatoes
and other vegetables in corresponding
large quantities.

ABoUT two hundred colored men met
in Frankfort, Ky, and after several ex-
cellent speeches from the leading colored
men Of the city, passed resolutions
Here are two OF the resolutions, and the
others are like unto these
We declare, and history shows, that
freedom to the colored man was one of
the accidental results, and not one of the
original objects of the war for the Union,
and that the Union army was made up
equally Of Democratic and Republica
soldiers and officers. IL is also true that
the right to vote was given the colored
man so far as the Republican party was
concerned as party MEANS and to
keep that party in power, and with no
intention TO confer upon HIM actual po-
litical equality, and upon the claim that
the Democratic party was hostile TO them
the Republicans secured the absolute
obedience of the colored voters up to the
Presidential election in 1884. But that
election and the administration Of Mr.
Cleveland proved that the colored man 8
political rights are as safe under Demo
cratic as Republican rule Had forty
per cent Of the colored voters in the
states Of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and New
York voted the Democratic ticket at
the last Presidential election, Mr.
Cleveland would be President to day
And how has the colored man been bene
fited by the changer Mr.. Harrison has
failed and refused to extend to the col
ored voters fair recognition Of their
party services; he has not only failed TO
make new appointments, but has dis
charged the entire colored force Of EN-
ployes in and about the Executive Man
sion, many Of whom had been employed
there under several administrations
president Cleveland appointed more
colored men TO office than Presidents
Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Arthur com
bined We therefore further declare
there is now no reason why the colored
voter shall not cast his vote as a free
man, for the candidate he prefers,
whether he be Democrat or Republican.
The course OF the administration Of Gen
eral Harrison in regard TO the appoint.
ment of colored men 10 offices proves
that that the Republican party re-
CARDS the colored voters as mere 'hewers
Of wood and drawers Of water and
not capable Of filing, OF not entitled to
fill, any office or place of honor, trust or
profit. We declare that the colored voters
have, by nearly twenty years of absolute
obedience, fully paid all debts of graft
tude they may have owed the Republican
party and ought no longer to remain
political slaves to that party but ought
as we intend, TO assert their freedom al
the polls as well as elsewhere. We call
upon our brethren in this and all tn,
states to show by their votes in tn,
future. that they are in fact as free a.
the constitution and the laws entitl'
them to be.

Mr. CARLISLE must be credited with an
exceedingly neat Characterization of the
Republican party's plan Of restoring our
foreign commerce by subsidies to steam
ships, when he speaks Of 1.-THE absurdity
of taxing imports TO keep them out. and
paying the carrier a bounty TO bring them
in The point has often been made be-
fore, but seldom with such clearness and
epigrammatic force.-Louisville Courier
Journal
No other speaker or writer possesses a
force and perspicuity equal to Mr.. Car
isle He thinks clearly and expresses
his thoughts clearly as natural conse-
quence. His speeches are full Of logical
consistency and fair statement. He
never misrepresents the views of
an opponent but makes the
fairest aud the most judiciously
accurate statement which can be made
and then states his own proposition. Mr..
Carlisle does no. know the tricks of
political demagogue and would not use
them If he did know them. He takes the
broad ground that protective tariff and
subsidies are unconstitutional and he
never sWerves from that premise to en-
quire whether this or that business is
making money. He considers that
the industries must run themselves
and that the Government must run itself
and that they must be separate and dis.
tinct. There is no more reason why
the industries should be run, supported,
or supervised by the Government, than
there is for church to be run. supported
or supervised by the Government. It is
the business Of the Government to lay
and collect taxes for the support Of the
Government and 1t is the business of the
Industries to take care CT themselves.

Lincoin's Melancholy.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The jokes of Abraham Lincoln, not
less than his height, his angularity, his
patience, persistence and self restraint,
are part of the personality he impressed
upon his own generation and the one to
follow With the humorous trait in his
nature we'll developed we can scarcely
think Of him other than as one who took
an optimistic view Of life and humanity,
and preserved through the utmost dan
gers and the sharpest doubts an abiding
faith in the future But the recent reve.
latiens of associates and biographers
have shattered all such popular ideas of
the great emancipator. We now know
that his mind in manhood was prone TO
melancholy; his dry humor was the cloak
for his true thoughts and feelings, an
emanation Of the surface only Behind
the jest, care, doubt and despair fought
against courage, resolution and persever-
auce

allow prisoners to testify in their own

been advanced the Irish members have
contended for its extension to Ireland.

shall not have the benefit Of law which
the people Of Ireland need worse than the

The rarln invites the Trust.

Georgetown Journal.
A trust that extends to all countries
and combines all persons engaged in the
production of particular commodity is
independent Of, and superior to, all tariff
laws. A trust that is confined to a
single country is protected and upheld in
its unfair exactions to the amount of the
tariff on the article that it produces. 1t
seems foolish to levy tariff that invites
and allows the manufacturer to get ex-
horbitant prices for his products and
then punish HIM for charging such
prices. The way TO kill the power of the
home trust is to lower the tariff, and
that is what the Lenoceaiic party is
pledged to do.
