The Highest Development.

Make the marriage right and the Off
spring will tend to be right. Perhaps
it may be true that we need new
ideal of the marriage relation. The
old one in which the woman promises
to obey the man is per;shing visibly
before our modern eyes. Often she
ought not to do SO, for the man may
be a fool or brute. And the theory
adopted by many il mated couples
that rasrriago is discipline is too
cynical to be either true or attractive.
The theory of easy divorce and fire.
quent change as remedy for ordina-
ry disaglce,nents has also serious dis
advantages, and is no sound remedy.
It is only poor refuge from imme-
diate suffering. But a new and per
haps useful attitude may be gained by
looking upon matrimony, as it IS, In
truth, the only complete condition OF
humanity.
In no other relation can man or
woman reach their highest develop
ment. No character is full till COM
prises its opposite. The very divergen-
cies at which each party frets are the
lacking necessities OF its own nature.
Each would be partial and narrow
without the other, and the new motto
we may propose for lnatrimony is the
new word, development Marriage IS
development. If not quite happy, 1t
is still generously educational. If love
dies out from it, yet charity. wisdom,
tact and liberality of mind may re-
main in #. Blind love may indeed
remain and leave the happy lovers
without its best effects, since even love
may remain narrow and selfish. But
the man who has learned to compre-
hend the feminine nature with its
delicate, sprightly, graceful qualities
in his own, and the woman who has
adopted something Of masculine inde-
pendence, liberality and courage into
her constitution, will be far better
than the sole endowment nature would
have given either to be alone.-Cor.

WI. Perry for Governo.
Sumter W4fohman

We have been informed from sou rces
considered reliable that the above gem
tleman will resign his Office as Con-
gresham from this State, will give.up
his law practice in Greenville, and re-
tire to his farm in the County Of
Greenville, only to come out more
prominently before the people as their
candidate for Governor. This candi-
dacy on the part OF Mr.. Perry is to be
distinctively and pronouncedly as that
of the Farmers Alliance Of this State.
Mr.. Perry's resignation of the high
Office he now holds, might strike those
who do not know the motive of his
resignation, as not only a cause for
wonder and surprise, but as we'll
cause for conjecture and speculation.
We are in a position to explain. and
in doing so, we can't deem that we are
violating any confidence. M. Perry,
after consultation with those in au.
thority with the Alliance people, has
cast his mantle upon the shoulders OF
Mr.. Ball., of his own County, ard
hopes, through his retirement to his
farm, to supply what the farmers have
wanted-a leader, who, like Cincinna-
tus, can quit the plowshares for the
rein of government.

A Biz British War Shin.

The new British war ship, Royal
Sovereign, work upon which has be-
gun at Portsmouth dockyard, will, it
IS said, be the largest war ship in the
world. The vessel is to be completed
for sea, with all guns and stores on
board, by 1893. The Royal Sovereign
is one of the four arnored battle ships
of Il, 900 tons burden which are to be
built under the special programme.
She is to carry four sixty-seven ton
guns of thirteen and one-half inch
caliber, arranged in two barbettes and
supported by a powerful battery of six
inch and quick firing guns.
The Royal Sovereign Will be $50 feet
in length, Is feet in beam, and 273
feet in draught, with a displacement
of IA, $50 tons. She will far exceed in
weigh at any ship hitherto built for the
British navy. At the water line she
will be protected by an armor belt
eight and one-half feet broad, extend
ing over two-thirds OF her length, and
having maximum thickness of
eighteen inches. The armor on the
barbettes will be seventeen inches
thick, while the protection OF the guns
and their crews in the auxiliary arma-
ment as well as the ammunition sup
ply has been devised to meet the de.
velopn1ent in high explosives and
quick firing guns. The ships engines
will have maximum power OF $4,000
horses under forced draught and 9,000
under natural draught- Tie speed
with closed stokeholes is estimated at
seventeen knots an hour; with open
stokeholes at sixteen k;.ots an hour.
The coal supply OF the Royal Sover
eien will be 800 tons. enabling her &c
cruise 5000 miles al the rate cf ter
knots an hour.-Dc:roit Free Press.

Electoral Reform in vIr siia.

Notwithstanding the large Democratic
majority, the Democratic leaders in Vir-
ginia intend to have the Legislature
change the election laws Senator John
W. Daniel wilhelm the city this week
said to me that he favored the Australian
system, with certain notifications, but
be declined to say what the mod:ica-
tions were. Governor Lee says a change
in the present laws is doubtless needed
bu, he is not prepared to say whether he
will recommend the Australian system ut
not. He is rather inclined to think
that the Australian plan, with. u
few changes. might answer. Several
local managers express themselves in f.
vor of the South Carolina plan.

How She Was Fooled.

I have never said anything disre-
spectful of woman, and l am not
going to break over the rule now; but
I heard story on a Chicago woman
in high standing which I think is too
good to keep. She had been to St.
Paul with a party of both sexes. At
the conclusion of their visit they
boarded a sleeper, and, as they We're
somewhat weary, they retired early.
In less than a half hour there was
some sort Of accident the result Of
which was the train remained all
night in almost the exact spot where
the party boarded the sleeper. On the
following morning the woman Of
whom I spoke at first met her COM
panions, and, as is generally the case
with passengers who are acquainted
on sleeper, the question, How did
you sleep2" was passed around. The
heroine of my story said she had
passed miserable night. Well, one
may pass a miserable night without
being on sleeper. But the woman
was not content with the statement,
for she added: II never could sleep
on the cars. The noise and continuous
rattle and humping of the train make
me nervous. And on this road, espe-
cially, which is 80 rough and full Of
curves, you know
Well, they had the laugh on her
when the situation was explained, and
she begged the party to say nothing
about It in Chicago, as her husband
was such a tease. The party kept
their word. They didn't say anything
about it in Chicago, but one of them
told it In ST. Paul.-Intcrview in Chi
