PARASITES OF SPEECH.

Mothers Should Fight Them as Energet'
ically AS They DO Other Pests.
The duty each of US owes to his mother
tongue should constrain him to seek dill
gently after the best ways OF clothing ideas.
If there is better fashion Of speech than
our own we should not bc content unti! 1t
is ours. Slovenly Languages more dlGrace'
fpI than slovenliness of apparel. The great
aud erievous error in home and school edu-
cation is that children are allowed to speak
as they like The house mother who wages
continual war with flies, barricades her
windows against mosquitoes and would 50
into Mysteries at the suggestion OF the red
Bedouin of the sleeping-room, allows her
children to double negatives, contract pro-
vincialisms, and enwrap their daily talk IN
slang as with a garment.
She was wise woman who insisted that
her children should give neat and definite
expression to what they had in their mind
to say. If they began sentence 1t must be
finished.
what you think, you can say" was her
rule. ''rhe sooner you learn to say 1t we'll
the better"
1t goes without saying that as men and
women they were admirable takers. never
taking refuge in "What-you rlay-call-'ems'
and "I-don't-know-what 'You-knows :"
and ''It-seems- to mes"
The pains given to the cultivation OF the
parasitical gibberish we call slang" II
rightly bestowed would make charming
takers of our boys and girls. There is lit
tie wit as euphony in willful mispronuncla-
ton Of words, nor does the substitution o1
cabalistic phrases for ineligible English
add piquancy to sentence or paragraph. II
the truth were known, few slang-venders

their mother tongue to take liberties with

Danger of False Tenderness.

The danger of false tenderness in the
training of children was finely illustrated
at one time in this manner: A person who
was greatly interested in entomology SC
cured, at great pains, fine specimen of an
emperor moth in the larva state. Day by
day he watched the little creature as he
wove about him his cocoon, which IS very
singular in shape, much resembling flask.
Presently the time drew near for it to
emerge from its wrappings, and spread its
large wings Of exceeding beauty. On reach
ing the narrow aperture of the neck OF tie
flask the pity-of the person watching it was
50 awakened, to see the struggle necessary
to get through, that he cut the cords, thus
making the passage easier But alas! His
false tenderness DESTROYED all the bril(ian!.
colors fcc-whhich this specie Of moth is
noted The severe pressure was the very
thing needed to cause the flow Of fluids
which created the marvellous hues. rs
wings were small, dull in color, and the
whole development was imperfect. How
often we see similar result in character,
when parents, thinking 10 help child over
some hard places, rob him Of strength of
purpose and other qualities essential to the
highest attainments in mental and spiritual
life,-Farm and Fireside.

THE FIGHT AGAINST JUTE.
Hon. L. L. Polk Talks About Cotton
Gamblers.

RALEIGH, N. c., August 25.-Colonel
L. L. Polk, president OF the Inter, State
Farmers Association, returned here to-
day from the meeting of that body at
Montgomery. In answer to an inquiry
as to the status of the fight between the
farmers and the jute bagsing trust, the
Colonel said:
''It is approaching crisis. The alll-
ance is encouraged by the friendly action
of the American Cotton Exchanges, by
the constant accession of mills that arc
going into the manufacture of cotton
bagging and by the unanimity and de-
termination of the farmers throughout
the South to fight it out to the bitter
end. The Interstate Association Or
ganization is solldly against the jute
trust, which has an active, shrewd and
Jealous ally in the cotton spectators or
gamblers in futures. They have sold
large quantities of cotton to be delivered
in the early Fall. They are dreadfully
alarmed that cotton is being held by
the farmers, and the price is advancing,
and to-day 1t is singular fact that spot
cotton is selling at higher figures than
their contract prices. These men
must have cotton, or they are hopelessly
wrecked. They have sold, and they
must deliver, hence they are put
ting forth powerful efforts to force cot
ton on the market. II is ludicrous to
read their dispatches, circulars and bo.
gus letters now crowding the columns OF
the daily papers. They magnify the
growing crop and hold up the present
prices, and claim that they must de
cline. They parade the non-action of
the Liverpool Exchange, and positively
assert that it will not recognize cotton
bagging. If the Liverpool Exchange
has so declared, l have failed to see the
official announcement. We do not ex-
pect the co. operation of Liverpool until
it is forced. English capital, English
shipping and English manufacturers
and Liverpool spectators, of course,
are all interested IN perpetuating the
use of jute, but all this commotlon
in cotton circles in America is the work
of gamblers in futures, who have mil
lions at stake, and who are new stand
ing face to face with financial ruin
They do not care how cotton is wrapped,
for the terrible reality stares them in
the face that they must have sufficient
cotton to fill their contracts, and they
must have it quick. So desperate have
the spectators become that they al
ready have agents travelling from farm
to farm in the more Southern States offer
ing to buy cotton and advance the
money. This is struggle, not for tenn
porary triumph over the bagglng trust,
but one for graf principle, and we will
not relinquish the fight"

Good Doctors in a Bad Humor.

According to the New York Herald, a
fierce war has broken ouf between Dr..
Wm. 4. Hammond of Washington aud
DR.. Lewis A. Sayre of New York. at
tributed to a remark said to have been
made by DR.. Sayre with reference to DR..
Hammond'S experiments withthe Brown
Sequard elixir. The Herald quotes
circular said to have been written by
Dr.. Hammond and addressed to DR..
Sayre, in which an attack is made on
the latter for an alleged remark by Dr..
Sayre that DR.. Hammond WAS making
81 900 a week out of the elixir. In the
course of the circular the writer de-
nounces DR.. Sayre as a man ''whosc
name is synonym for all that is false
and unprofessional," and pours out a
torrent of invective that causes the
Herald to doubt whether DR.. Hammond
can really have written it. DR.. Sayre,
being interviewed in regard to it, denied
that he had made the statement attrib-
uted to him, but criticised DR. Hammond
pretty freely. and said that the latter
had better keep quiet, as his methods
were too well known to require COM
meut. Whatever the virtues Of the
Browa-Sequard elixir may be, they do
not seem to produce amlabillty or good
temper. With all their compounding
and prescribing, doctors from the begin
ming of time never seem to have found
a cure for the moral indigestion which
they appear to cause each other. Let
then: look out for IN elixir that will pro-
mote medical goodwill and charity and
make doctors agree without shaking one
another, as other people do their mcdi-
cines before taking them.-Bah. Sun.

The Arizona Kicker Explains.

As several versions of the incident
that occurred in our office Saturday
night are flying around town aad have
probably been telegraphed all over the
world, we deem it but right to give the
particulars as they occurred: We were
seated in the editorial chair, writing q
leader on the European situation, when
rough character known around town
rs ssAlike the Slayer" called in. As we
had never had a word with the man We
suspected no evil AS a matter of fact
we reached for our subscription book,
suppoSing, of course, that he wanted
the best weekly in America for year.
The Slayer then announced that he had
come to Slay us, not because We had ever
done him harm, but because the inau-
ence Of the press was driving out the
good old times and customs. We re-
treated towards the door of our harness
department. He pursued us with a
drawn knife. We then felt it our duty
to draw our gun and let six streaks OF
daylight through his body, and as he
went down We stepped to the door and
sent a boy for the coroner. 1t was a
clear case of self-defense, and the in
quest was mere formality. We elament
the sad occurrence. but no one can
blame us We paid his burial expenses,
and in another column will be found mis-
obituary, writtin in our best vein and
without regard to space. No other Arl-
IONA editor has ever done half as muchy

telegram announcing the hour OF de-

terbury one-half hour in advance, and
the birds arrived one hour ahead of the
telegram, thus beating electricity in
speed. The distance is seyenty-tive
miles, which was covered by the birds in
one hour and six minutes. 1t is an in
tereSting sight to witness the flight of
the birds as they ascend, and, after get

The Beauty Of Kindness.

What a beautiful quality is kindness!
bow it soothes the care worn! How it
cheers US when we are sad and despondentl
It costs very little to administer it, and yet
it carries with it a heaven Of sweetness.
Life at best possesses large share Of bit
terness, and has so much need for kindly
words and kindly sympathy and kindly as
sistance. Many sad heart on every hand
is almost breaking for want OF some loving
one to share its burden. And these aching
hearts do not comprise the few Of earth,
but the many; in reality, they include
ucarly all of mankind. The secret balm OF
healing for all these wounded hearts is
simply that loving kindness which IS the re-
suit Of living for others, each one forgetting
self and sharing the heart-ills Of others.
Obi let Us become dead to self and live for
one another; then we have heaven hers
Bear We one one another's burdens and SO
fulfill the laW.'-Home.

Flooding Virginia with Circulars-The
Ants to Hold Convention.
PETERSBURG, August sG.-Gen. Ma
hone arrived here last night from Nor
folk, accompanied bv ey-CongresSman
Bowen. and United States Marshal Watts,
who remained with him until tonight,
when they left for home. The three had
quite long conference in reference to
matters pertaining to the approaching
Gubernatorial contest and politics in
Virginia generally. Gen. Malone
was called upon to-day by many of
bis friends to congratulate him
upon his. nomination for Governor and
to assure him of their support. The
General appears to be very hopeful of
his election, and in few weeks will be-
gin to stump the State. He has not yet
determined where he will make his
maiden speech of the campaign, but it
will in all probability be made IN South
west Virginia. He has already gone to
work in earnest, and now his four clerks
are busily engaged addressing political
circulars to people in all parts of the
State. He has had $4,000 of these cir
culars printed, which were taken to
his residence in spring wagon. few
days ago from a printing house in this
city.
Ex-Governor Cameron, being asked
to-day as to what part his wing of the
party would take in the political party
this tall, replied that he could not tell
vet, but, speaking for himself, be should
not vote for Malone. He did not think
they would put up any candidate for
Governor, but might have candidates
for the State Senate. Governor Came
ron said they would hold convention
soon to determine on some plan Of ac-
tion, but when and where this conven-
lion would be held had not yet been
fixed upon.
John NJ. Langston was seen to-day,
and an effort was made to get him to
say whether or not his colored sup
porters; which be claims number about
1000 in the State, would support
Malone, but be declined to be inter
viewed. He thinks that the State debt
question will play an important part in
the coming fight, and that it ought to
be fully explained, as there are many
colored people who do not appear TO
understand it, some claiming that the
debt was contracted when they were in
slavery, and consequently they ought
not to be forced to pay any part of it.
