CHARLESTON, JAnusry 26.-Since the
meeting Of the Committee on Education
Yesterday there has been considerable aei-
tation Of the school book question. The
Indiana plan" of furnishing school books,
which is urged for this State, is losing
some Of its bright fret promise on inveeti'
CATION.
The promise Of one-fOurth reduction in
the price Of the books to be furnished by
the Indiana company, rs compared with
the prices of books used at present IS sub
iect TO the expense Of marketing through
the school officials of a good per diem, ss
in Indiana. This will, OF course, add TO
the price or the taxes.
Il appears further that the new BOOKS
are not new at all, but some old Caiiiornia
and Minnesota books recovered and re-
christened. The quality Of matter, ma
terial and workmanship are seriously criti-
cised BY those who have seen the samples.
The total ioss sn the books now In tfe
hands of the people If the proposed charge
Is made is vSriously estimated from Sl5O,-
600 to $500. 600.

Two Children Run Away From Home Ia
Get Married.
MIDDLETowN, CoSS., January % -
I've odd elopements have made u stir in
Connecticut recently. Amos J. Swanton,
Of Ansonia, is on his way home from
Kansas with his 10 yesr-old son, who ran
away with l3-year Ida Smith, of the
same village. Tie escspade was ar
ranged by a wealthy aunt Of Ida,
80 the aunt confesses, because, she
says, the little couple were fond
Of each other, and she herself be-
lieves in early marrif ges-"the earlier the
bstter" Even two years ago she pro-
posed to Mr.. Swanton that his s0l Arlie
should marry IDA as soon ss they became
some what more mature, and SSsnton
consented 10 the proposition, but he
thought no more Of it, until IN December
aunt, Arlie and Ida all disappeared from
home at orce. Since then he has hunted
everywhere for. the young couple. The
aunt now says that che concluded that
there was no use OF the little folks waiting
longer; 50 off they went on tbs elopement
trip.
At Wig Hill not long ago the uplo OF
young thiugs agreed TO elope. The girl
arose at hight, slid down rope ladder
from her room to her lover, aud of the
pair trsmped toward New Haven. But
there was light snow on the ground, and
before many hours tbs elopers became
"a sfully tired" and both snesktd back
home. They were forgiven.

A Lima Young Lady who Foretoid His
Riches Years Ago.
CINCINNATI, January 28i-As Calvin 8.
Brice is now National character, stories
regarding bis early life, when he was a
poor briefess lawyer, struggling for an ex-
istence in Lima, Ohio, are in order.
Hence, the following related by gentle
man of Findlay, who was schoolmnte Of
the distinguished politician, is not without
an entertaining value.
At party given at the residence Of
Judge Hughes, in Lima, abou. twelve
years ago, which was attended by Mr.
Brice, a young lady guest amused the
company by telling their fortunes, which
she pretended to do by reading the lines OF
the hand. When it came Mr. Brice's turn
to get glimpse of the future in this way,
the fair exponent Of the science of palmistry
said:
"Mr. Brics, before you are ten years
older you will be q millionaire"
The prediction was accepted in the spirit
in which ii was Rigen-thst Of pleasant
jest-but Mr.. B'ics replied:
Becky, if what you predict comes true
| will get you the hsDdsOmest diamond
ring obiainable.
Laughingly. the lady said: "Bs sure
you do not forget your PROMISE" and the
matter was dismissed without further
thought
Ia less than eight years the Senator was,
indeed, a millionaire. but be did not for
get the young lady who had SO cleverly
predicted his good fortune, and on his
first visit to New York, after being pretty
we'll assured that he had reached the
measure of the prophecy, he brought back
an elegant diamond ring for the fair for
tune teller, which she shows with pride as
she relates the manner in which she be-
came the owner OF the gem. In addition
he gave her au European tour, and she
continues to be the recipient of many
favOrs and attentions from Mr.. Brice aud
his family.

deliver au Grafton upon the Life and

tation of the Legislature. Gov. McKin.
ney and Gen. Jubal A. Early were the
prominent citizens present. Mr.. Card
we'll, Speaker Of the House Of Delegates,

''Noble are the words Of Cicero when he
tells us that, 1T Is the first snd fundamen-
tai law of history that IL should neither
dare TO say anything that is false, nor fear
to say any thing that is true, nor give any
Just suspicious Of favor or disaffsction.
No less high q standard must be invoked
10 considering the life, character aud ser
vices of J,ff.rson Davis, q great man of 0
great epccb, whose name is blended with
the renown Of American arms,
with the civil glories of
the Cabinet and Congress hall la sRn of
the South who became the besd Of Con-
federscy more popular and more extensive
than that for which Jefferson wrote the
Declaration OF Independence; and com.
mander in.chief Of armies greater than
those Of which Washington WAS the gen.
eral. He swayed Sauates and he etooi &C.
cused Of treason in a court Of justice. He
saw victory sweep
ILLUsTRIoUs BATTLBFIELDs
and became q captive. He ruled millions
and was put in chsine. He created ns.
tion, he followed its bier, and he died a
disffauchised chiefan. He corquered
himself and forgsve his enemies, bat he
bent to noLe but Col. He wes in the pub
lie gsz, for nearly half century, and in
the fate which at last overwhelmed the
Southern Confederacy and its President,
official records and private papers fell into
the hands OF his enemies.
But though every hiding place was
opened and reward was for any .one who
would betrsy the secrets OF the captive
chief whose aro'ies were scattered and
whose hands wele chained-though the
sea gave up its dead in the convulsion OF
his c0unt:y-there could he found no
guilty fact, and accusing tongues were
sileBced.
Whatever record lespsd to light, his
name could not be sbamed.
