Despite the fact that women lace,
wear thin shoes, and expose their
health in dozen other ways, the av-
erage Of longevity of the female sex
is Increasing. 1t is doubtless due to
their obstinacy.

The Harrison inauguration was f.
nancial success After paying all ex-
pecses the inaugural committee turn
ed over $4,000 to the commissioners
of The District of Columbia to be used
for charitable purposed. The Macon

ment that no part of this fund is to

The negroes held mass meeting
in Raleigh, n. c., last Friday night,
and organized the North Carolina
Emigration Association the proposed
object of which is to coionize al tie
negroes of that State in Arkansas. 4

to be held in Raleigh, April 22d, to
fully organize a State association.
Such a proceeding has a business all
about it.
Thomas E. Miller, the colored
would-be-congressman from the sew
enth district, has written an opeu let
ter to President Harrison, in which
he denounces AIcLane, Russell, and
the other Independents in this State,
as unworthy of recognition by the
Republican party. and as being only
office seekers. Miller is right. The
so-called Independents of this State
so far have been men who would do
little credit to any party.
A correspondent writing from
Washington says: Harrison will be
a dead man in less than three months
if the horde of greedy Office seekers
do not cease persecuting him. Al
ready his right arm is lamed and his
complexion has the suspicious chalky
white appearance of i'll health. But
the crowd still comes marching on,
fairly falling over each other in their
eagerness to reach the ear of the
president. Such a gang was never
before seen in Washington. It was
thought at the beginning of Mr..
Cleveland's administration that The
pressure for Office was great, but COM
pared with that now going on, it was
as summer zephyr to an untamed
Dakota blizzard. Every man except
5ss 4sss SsSsf sa f73 5pa5755H as aaHEnistFa sra
ton, is here clamoring for vindication
in the shape of an appointment to his
cid place or to better one, and in
addition there are thousands of men
who are after getting their first taste
Of official lie. These last think the
government service needs aliberal in
fusion Of new blood, provided, of
course, that they furnish it. Between
them they are making torment for
Mr. Harrison as great as any that ev-
er existed on this earth, and there is
little chance of q change until every
thing worth scrambing for is given
out. In the meantime Mr.. Harrison's
worst enemy could not wish him
worse punishment than he is daily
undergoing.
