Quite an intelligent convention of delegates met at St. Louis recently to further the interests of the free coinage of silver. Several eloquent and instructive addresses were de- liyered, in which the speakers criu- eized the action of Congress severely for demonctizing silver in 1873, and attributed to this cause much of the subsequent distress which the coun- try has experienced. Resolutions were passed to urge the importance of the free coinage silver upon the next session of Congress.

After Being Treated by Eminent

 The following is an extract taken from letter received from MT. |. A. Sizemure, of Piedmont, S. C., and written under date of November |, 1sSS:
 Il am now twenty eight years old and from the time l was seven years old until 1885, l suffered with se- we're case of scrofuIa. During that time I took every known remedy. but to no purpose.

THE NEW CONGRESS.

l
 Maine, Speaker by strictly party vote. The Democrats voted for Hon. Jno. C. Carlisle for Speaker. With the versatile and enterpris- ing Morton, banker and hotel keeper, as President of the Senate, and the pronounced protectionist Reed as Speaker of tue House, and a majority of both branches of Congress to insure Republican unity and eff ciency, the country stands ready to watch the outcome of their proceed ings. There are several things which the Republican party want to accom- plish. They want a federal election law, with direct reference to the con trol of Southern elections they want q federal educational bill, somewhat after the Blair pattern, lifting into prominence the paternal relations of the government; they want to adjust the tariff without reducing the pro- tective features thereof; they want more liberal pension laws, and to pass a bill in favor of subsidies to steamship companies, in order to dispose of the surplus. But it is ex- tremely doubtful whether any of these proposed measuses will be passed by this Congress.
 The people of several of the States have recently proclaimed their oppo- sition to such legislation, and 1t IS evident that q popular reaction against the narrow and selfish princi- pies of the so-called Republican par ty is setting in, which will make itself felt in the movements in that direction. Besides, there is more or less disaffection in the rank and file of the party, which, with the cooper ation of the united Democracy, will defeat such obnoxious laws.
 What the country needs now first l of all is some substantial measures of tariff reform, and if the 51st Con- gress fails to respond to the popular demand, the people will see to it that the next Congress shall grant the needed relief. This is govern ment of the people, by the people and for the people, and the voice of the people will sooner or later be pO- tential in settling these important questions. Next in order after the disposition of the financial question the full remonetization of silver will be pressed to satisfactory solution.
 The Republican party is essentially a sectional party, and hence it's prin- ciples are necessarily short-lived. Its continued existence since the war was kept up by flaming the flames of sectional discOrd and animosity. Time and better acquaintance will heal the animosties and prcjudices engcndcrcd by the late war, and no party can long prevail whose very eX- istence depends on sectional preju- dice We do not look for much from this Congress-its work will be mere surface work, utterly failing to pene- trate to the root of our troubles. The people demand thorough over hauling of our financial system, and the free coinage of silver. They are opposed to further pension legisla- tion, and demand the strict enforce mcnt of existing pension laws, with out fear, favor or affection, and un- less the fell spirit of plutocracy and ccntralization has already taken pos session of the government and peO' pie, these principles of justice and equality will soon prevail in eur glo- rious Republic of free and indepen- dent States.

SET ONE.

She was a rustic and gay coquet,
And he was 4 youngster just from town;
Together they stood by the tennis net
As the summer sun was sinking down,
She in a fimsy, snowy gown
Dotted with patterns of violet
While he In 4 blazer-gold and brown
Explained the points of vantage set.
She was knowing and fair coquet,
And missed the ball with shameless face;
With the faintest blush her ripe lips met
And love" was called with charming grace
TIL the youth forgot to "cut" and place."
And played close up to the tempting net;
And one could tell twas simple case
The moment the youth had called her pet. u
Tic was youth with tender flame
And she was pretty and bright coQuet;
And who in the world should bear the blame
And who in the world should fume and fret?
There was never aword of play" and 'let,n
And each of them held an equal claim
While she AYERS he won the set;
He frankly admits she won game.

Some New Pictures.

OF the very few works recently placed on
exhibition. Mr.. d. B. Walkley's three water
colors are no doubt the most interesting and
worthy of note. 1t seems as if there is no limit
to the improvement shown in Mr.. Walkley's
pictures of this character; every succeeding
work is better than the last. This is as it
should be, and there is no doubt that if the
artist continues to do as good work in the flu.
ture as is shown in the two Holland pieces and
the CHARTERS creek sketch his fame wall spread
far beyond the precincts of Pittsburg.
1.-THE Fisher Maiden" salon picture, by
Salanson, a French artist, is the latest addition
suming production, uniting with its interesting
composition the desirable quality of harmoni-
Gus and pleasing color
The Woodland Pool" a new artists etch-
ing, is the latest candidate for popular favor
in works of this class. 1t is an unusually good
turesque little hooks occasionally met with in
the woods, in which the quiet stream passes for
a moment in q shady pool before pursuing its
way TO the lar ger streams. In it, as pictured
by Mr.. Moran, q number of cows have halted
for the moment to quench their thirst and cool
limbs fevered by the heat of the day The
trees and foliage surrounding the pool, not
withstanding little haIness and regularity in
outline are, as whole, well drawn. The etch-
ing itself is one of the very best of recent
works.
Mr.. George Hetzel has once more settled

Clair school, No. building, Miss Blanche I.
McGinnis has been elected additional teacher
Miss Daisy Pagan and miss Mary Thomas were
elected substitutes.
THE problem vf having the pupils who are
preparing for High School not SO overworked
is a question that has been agitating the minds
of the school principals and their assistants for
many long day. All concede the necessity of
some change to make the work of these pupils
less arduous. The question that is agitating
them is how it can best be done. An idea as to
the best method formulated yesterd av
that seemed to be well received 1t is
to do away with the preliminary
examination in December, and instead to have
the pupils enter the preliminary course one
year earlier than they now are doing. or IN step
IL 10 begin preparation, to continue all year
for this preliminary High School examination
which shall take place in June. If successful
they can then prepare for the final examina-
tion, having . whole year for the four hard
studies, instead ofsix months preparation as at
present.

I often think what pity it is that wom-
ans sphere in life is principally to please
and look pretty. Some of us can't DO both,
YOU know-and some of us can do neither.
Sometimes very plain girl can make peo-
pie believe she is pretty just because she is
so clever and pleases them so much; but
when plain girl can't do this, what is there
LETT for her TO do but to call in the assistance
o. art to nullify those defects which nature
has given her-or to supply those which she
has not given her?
Why will we girls destroy ourselves for
ever just for a little momentary heighten-
ing of the charm of nature by art?
l am afraid l will have to give it up-un-
less L acknowledge that eve girls are fools
which l, OF course, emphatically refu Sc to
do.
