"Here, Hattie" said Mrs. Brown, IS
she was going out one afternoon, II am
going to the store. and you must amuse
little brother until come back. You
may have your playthings on the piazzi,
but be sure that he does not go down
the steps. | won't stay very long"
Hattie was faithful little sister, and
had often taken care Of her little broth
er. As he was three years old. his
mamma felt that she could leave home
for few minutes with perfect safety.
She was away. however. longer than
she expected. When she returned she
found Hattie sitting on the steps, crying
as If her heart would break.
20 mamma! mamma! Arthur is lost!
! have looked for him everywhere, and
can not find him."
II told you to keep him on the piazza"
said mamma.
Il did keep him there, but he would
not play with the blocks, and went in
to get the tin soldiers for him. lie came
into the hall with me. and shut the
door: but he opened 1t, for when came
out the door was open and he was gone.
l ran down the street and called him,
and nobody has seen him;" and Hattie
sobbed again.
Mrs. Brown asked some Of her neigh
bors to help her in the search for
Arthur. and in . short time the boys
and girls were running in all direc-
tons. The police were notified. and
dispatches were sent to all the stations.
but nothing had been seen or heard of
him.
Mrs Brown returned At the end OF IN
hour. hoping that Arthur might have
found his way back in the meantime.
She began to cry, too. when Hattie
said: 'Oh mamma, we shall never see
him again."
Mrs. Brown went upstairs, and sit
ting on the bed said half alond:
my Arthur. my poor little baby!"
| "What you want mamma dear?" said
voice close beside her; and therS on
the bed, just awaking from nap, vas
| the lost child.
He felt sleepy, and when he camo in
with Hattie he had climbed upstairs.
Throwing himself on the bed, he
dropped asleep as soon as his head
touched the pillow, and no one thought
of looking in the house for HMM. A.

monial adventures Of Mr.. Scpti-
mus Sowerby = ay. and with perfect
truth. too: for though / have altered
names and places, he is q very real per-
sonage, alive to-day, as is the other per-
son concerned in the story.
Septimus Sowerby had been too busy
all his life to think OF such trumpery as
the love-making that gradually slides
into courtship. and then, at greatly
accelerated rate OF speed, into matri-
mony.
But at forty-fve, it began to dawn
upon him that he did not feel quite SO
young as formerly. that he was growing
tired Of the chops and steaks, or the
lonely JOY Of dining at a restaurant and
that his chambers looked cold and
dreary when he returned to them to
spend long evening among his books.
Books. How he loved them. What in
finitelv better company they were than
the choicest conversation he ever heard
abroad! And yet, whether because he
had been so arid reader, AMI devoured
all the cream of the worlds greatest
writer's long and long ago. even his
books began to weary him, and he found
long-forgotten memories Of his child
hoods home stealing between him and

Sometimes in spirit he wandered all
about those pleasant places; paused at
the tree upon whose bough he had
swung, and SO broken it, bringing down

nodded perpetually. and even thought
that he rolled down on the other side,

who. alas! had long ago gone over to
the majority.
These curious warnings and spirit
ycarnings affected him uncomfortably.
He must be out Of health; either liver
or brain be wrong; and he decided one
early June morning that he would try
what change of air and scene would do
for him.
The bank would get on without him:
nevertheless he caused futter among
the clerks when it was announced that
he was going to take a holiday.
Some one ventured to ask his desti-
nation. But he said that he did not
know. At the railway station. how
ever. he apparently made up his mind,
for he booked to remote little village
in Somersetshire, and on arriving there

STEWARDS silver bill proposes to reduce
the number of grains in the gold dollar
from 1873 to 2o.S and leave the number OF
grains in the silver dollar the same as at
present-4I2H grains. What the object Of
this clause in the bill is we are unable to
understand unless Stewart is in favor Of put
ting discount on the white metal. If it
is to take the same amount Of silver to buy
2o.S grains of gold as it does to now buy
1873 grains it certainly looks as though
permanent discount would be placed on sill
yer. 1t is not gold that the people Of this
Coast care about tampering with. The num-
Der of grains in the gold dollar suits well
enough as 1t is. What we want is free
coinage of silvey. II this cannot be obtained
give us the next thing TO it in the shape Of
certificates issued on bullion deposits.

THERE is no use in denying that the House
Coinage Committee is composed of anti-silver
men for the most part. To be sure Bartine
is member of this committee, and there are
two or three more men on the committee
who are in favor of free coinage, but the
majority is against silver Nothing more
could be expected after Reed was elected
Speaker. His smoothe tricks do not fool
anybody and simply make him less thought
of by the people on this Coast. 1t is sad to
relate, but we do not take the view held by
q great many that the outlook is very bright
for silver. How can it bee The President

THE Silvey State comes bravely to the
aid Of the Eureka Sentinel, anil declares
that Congressman Bartine did vote for Reed
for Speaker of the House. This would nat
urally lead the readers Of the above named
papers to infer that Mr.. Bartine was heartily
in accord with the plan to make Reed Speak
er. Such was not the case, however. Mr..
Bartine voted in caucus on the first ballot
for Mr.. Cannon, pronounced free-c coinage
man. 1t was evident, after the first ballot,
that the Reed men were too numerous in the
caucus, and that nobody else could win.
Mr.. Bartine, however. did not fall down and
vote for Reed on any caucus ballot, either
first OF last. When it came to confirming
the caucus nomination, and there was no
possible way to defeat Reed, Bartine, with
other silver men accepted the defeat as grace
fully as possible. But does this show that
he assisted Mr.. Reed to the Speakers Chair7
Not at all. 1t was an utter impossibility to
defeat Reed, and because of this state Of
things the Sentinel censures Eartine for not
leaving his party and voting for Carlisle, the
Democratic candidate for the Speakership.
Further, in regard to the 4SentinePs article,
it came with very bad grace for Mr.. Cassidy
to dub our Congressman ninny. Mr.. Bar
tine defeated Mr.. Cassidy at the last election
in a square, open contest. and the latter
should take his medicine like man and not
let it choke him as though he were mouse.
Mr.. Bartine was successful, Mr.. Cassidy was
retired without pension. If Mr.. Cassidy
thinks Bartine ninny, he cannot think
much of himself for being defeated by said
alleged ninny. The democratic papers are
too anxious to make it appear that the re-
publican Representative from Nevada is an
enemy to silver. They will have to advance
some stronger proof than that SO far put
forward, and in the meantime il Mr.. Cassidy
will spell his name with lower case "i'
occasionally it would seem more becoming.

Millions of Money.

A dispatch to the Courier Journal
from Montgomery, Ala, Gays: Gen
eral Manager Gather. of the Alliance
Exchange in this city, is proceeding in
a painstaking and methodical way to
advance the farmers money on their
cotton in Alabama. One thing is
certain, he is iu dead earnest about
this matter and is displaying extraor-
dinary energy, shrewdness and sagac-
ity in an undertaking of such gigantic
proportions. He has the money to ad-
vance to the farmers $50 per bale on
100000 bales, and all he asks is that
the farmers hold their cotton for his
agents.
In this weeks issue of the Alliance
Herald, which appeared on the streets
yesterday, is published an important
notice addressed to "Alliance ware
housemen," and to every individual
Allianceman throughout Alabama,
signed by John B. Harris, manager of
the cotton department of the Ex-
change. Mr.. Harris states that he is
daily receiving more letters than he
can answer from farmers desiring ad-
vances on cotton and adds: 81 wish to
say to all at the same time that when
you have cotton to sell get it in lots of
100 to 1000 bales, and while yo1I are
bulking it place it where there is
railroad station agent to write to his
General Freight Agent and get the
through freight rate on the cotton from
that particular station to Liverpool
and when you have this rate write or
wire me and then I can tell you how
much l can pay you on middling
basis. l will pay for the cotton
through the nearest bank
Everybody here outside of the ALI
ance is wondering where the money
came from.

South Carolina Split.

COLUMBIA, Oct. 1.-THE conven-
tion OF Democrats opposed to the elec-
tion of B. r. Tillman as Governor Of
South Carolina met in the State capi-
tol last Thursday. w. D. johnson,
of Marion, took the chair and w. w.
Harllee, of Florence, was elected pres
ident and w. II. Lyles and Kerrison
secretaries. The following ticket was
nominated: For Governor, A. G.
Haskell, of Richland; Lieutenant Gov
ernor, w. D. johnson, Of Marion;
Secretary of State, Edward Harper, of
Williamsburg; Attorney General, Jo-
seph w. Barnwell, Charleston; Comp
troller General, Edward Bacon, of
Spartanburg; State Treasurer, w. A.
Ancrum, of Kershaw; Adjutant and
Inspector General, r. N. Richbourg,
of Richland; Superintendent Of Edu-
cation, E. b. Ragsdale, of Fairfield.
An address to the people was adopt
ed, giving the reasons for the action
taken, affirming allegiance to the prin-
ciples of the Democracy and charging
that the Tillmanites had arrayed class
against class and that their control of
the party was secured by secret eau
cusses of an oathbound society The
right to vote, says the address, is not
only a power but trust and when
the vote is cast it is an assertion on the
part of a voter that he believes the
man for whom he votes competent and
fit to fill the Office. 1t is vain to say
that the actions of political party
exempts the voter from responsibility.
His vote affects not only his own right
but the safety and happiness of thou
sands who are dependent on their votes
for the character of the Government
under which they live. The ignorant
and reckless may cast their votes flip
psntly, but he who claims intelligence
enough to know the right aud duties of
citizen is responsible to his country
and his God. -fssaT
The sentiment ofthe body was unan-
imous and a committee of seven was
appointed to cooperate with the can
didates for Governor aud Lieutenant
Governor in conducting the campaign.
No allusion was made 10 the negro
vote.
