FnoIisbmen coming to New York have
an amusing idea that they cannot be dis

observers that the greater number otSeng
lishmen do not lose their distinctive char

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.



Backward and forward the rocker goes,
Waiting the baby to sweet repose:
Close by the cradle the mother crOons
Lullaby, rock-a-bye nursery tunes;
Dreamily singing she patiently tries
Sleep TO bring to the baby's eyes.
Minute by minute the evening fits,
Still in the chair she droWsily sits:
Soothing and rubbing the aching gums,
Longing for slumber that never comes;
Rocking the baby that fretfully lies,
Filling the room with its nervous cries.
Weary with watching the mother sings,
Wooing the god with the leaien wings;
Softer and softer the ditty grows,
Now the little ones eyelids close;
Sinking at last into dI eamland deep
Mother and baby are fast asleep.

A Statesman's Wife.

Not long ago, when speaking of his
wife, Prince Bismarck is reported to
have said, "She it is who has made
me what l am" There have been
English statesmen who could say
quite as much. Burke was sustained
amid the anxiety and agitation of
public life by domestic felicity.
every care vanishes," he said,
"the moment l enter my own roof !"
His description of his wife is too long
to quote. but we must give an epitome
of it. OF her beauty he said it did
not arise from features, from COM
plexion OF from shape; "she has all
three in a high degree, but it is not by
these that she touches the heart; it is
all that sweetness of temper, benevo-
lence, innocence and sensibility which
a face can express, that forms her
beauty. Her eyes have mild light,
but they awe you when she pleases;
they command, like a good man out
of office, not by authority, but by vir.
tue. Her, stature is not tall; she is
not made to be the admiration of
everybody, but the happiness of one.
She has all the firmness that does not
exclude delicacy; she has all the soft
ness that does not imply weakness.
Her voice is low, soft music, not
formed to rule i'll public assemblies,
but to charm those who can distin-
guish a company from crowd; it has
this advantage-you must come close
to her to hear it"

Republicans think proper to work it
in is not yet determined. I believe
the decree has gone forth that the law
must be passed, but nothing can be
safely predicted about the matter un-
til the proposed bill has been reported
to the House and published to the
country. The passage of such \ law
would be unpopular everywhere and
would cost the Republican party q
good many districts at the North but
their hope is that they would gain
about 35 districts in the South and
thereby capture the next Congress. l
think the effect would be to solidify
the Southern people as one man and
to 80 arouse them, that not even cor
rupt system of returning board tactics
would accomplish the desired re
decided opinion, either way.
THE TARIFF AND THE INTERNAL REV
ENUE.
"W hat about the Tariff and the In
ternal Revenue?" I asked
"There will be a revision of the
tariff at this session, but it will be on
Republican-fines. There will prob
ably be slight reduction on sugar
and rice, these being exclusively
Southern products and the only pro-
ducts of the South protected by the
tariff. 1t is doubtful whether there
will be any repeal of the tobacco tax.
Mr.. Mckinley himself speaks very
doubtfully on this point. IF the to-
bacco tax is repealed, 1 do not expect
it. A separate bill for that purpose
won't easily pass if reported to. the
House but it is doubtful whether such
a clause will be left in the Tariff bill
when the latter passes. If the bill is
framed on the lines of the Senate bill
of the 5Oth Congress it will be q
wretched abortion.

Can scirrhus Cancer be Cured2

Swift's Specific has cured thousands
of cases of Skin Cancer, and there
have been many cases of Scirrhus
Cancer reported cured by it. We do
say that S. S. S. is worth a trial in
any case of cancer. We appeal a
statement from Miss Green, of Talla-
poosa, Ga:
In 1884 had small lump in my
left breast, which proved to be a can
Ger. The first remedy l tried was to
have it burned off. This did not cure
it, for shortly afterwards it broke out
again in a much worse form. I then
consulted our druggist, who advised
me to try Swift's Specific (S. S. So
and after taking about one dozen bot
ties, was completely cured. and my
general health was greatly improved.
This has been over six years ago, and
my cancer has never appeared since,
nor has it troubled me in any way. l

CAUGHT AT LAST.
AGang of Chatham County Counterfeiters
Fall Into Trap.
+ From the Chatham. Record.l

all 1nC0 Irap.
From the Chatham, Record.7
A gang of counterfeiters in this
county has been broken up and the
principal ones arrested. It was ac-
complished by the shrewdness of
government detective, who in disguise
found out all the secrets of the coun-
terfeiters.
About month ago a shabbily
dressed person got off the train at
Richmond, in this county, and after
inquiring the way for Harper's Cross
Roads (about 5 miles distant) he went
in that direction. He was next heard
of between that place and the Moore
county line, and was said to be having
"good time" with some of the young
men in that neighborhood, hunting.
frolicking and drinking with them.
He was said to pe in love with young
woman there, and was very attentive
to her, and finally through her was let
into the secrets of the counterfeiters.
He was shown a lot of tools and
moulds at one place, and some spuri-
Gus metal at another place.
After this he suddenly disappeared,
and could hardly be recongnized as
the genteel, fashionably dressed man
who got off the train at Richmond
again last week. But it was the same
individual, and this time he was not
alone, for he was accompanied by 9TH
er officers. They proceeded to the
neighborhood, where the detective had
been, and arrested three citizens,
Bryant Phillips, Allen Phillips and
George Burroughs, and carried them
before United States Commissioner
John W. Calder, at Harper's K Roads.
Brayton Philips asked for postpone
ment of the trial until next day (last
friday, so that he could 60 to Garth
age and employ a lawyer.
Accordingly he was released on a
bail bond of $500, and has not been
seen or heard of since. After a pre-
liminary trial Allen Phillips was
bound over in a bond of $500, and
George Burroughs was carried TO Jail
at Greensboro for trial at the next
term of the Federal Court.
1t is not thought that Allen Philips
is really guilty, but that he was an
innocent victim of the others. Oh
course the arrests have created quite
a sensation in that section of the coun'
try.
