Mrs. Stocking is a daughter of the

firm of sLeet & Stocking, which, in
the early days of the Grant admins

of-the New York custom house, AS
a young lady she was one of the fore
most members of Washington society
and both before and after her mar
riage enjoyed everything that wealth
and position could bring. :
Mrs. Stocking, after the death of
her husband, went to Europe, where
she has been for many years, return
ing after the death of her father
Her husband had reverses in bushes
affairs before his death, and her IA

The longest suit of hair in the
world is perhaps that which grows
on the head of Miss Asenath Phil
pott of Gainesville, Texas, hers
trailing on the ground when she
stands nearly four feet, and measur-
ing in all ten feet and seven inches.
Miss Philpott is slight delicate
woman approaching middle age, and
regards her magnificent tresses as
rather nuisance, complaining that
their weight actually drains her
strength. The present growth is of
the past seven years, as in 1884 her
head was shaved during spell of
brain fever. 1t is necessary to her
health to cut large quantities of hair
every few months, and this she has
a regular sale for from some large
wig MANDATORY in the East, which
pays her we'll for it, as its fineness
and silky gloss is exceptional, being
of a much admired red gold tint. e

Mr. Ingalls,, while superintend-
ing the packing of some boxes in
Washington, to convey some of
his property back to Kansas,
was accosted by sprightly wo-
man, who observed: 81 suppose,
senator, these are collins and
they contain the remains of the
deceased" ''No,'' replied the
senator, with an emphatic nod,
as h s shoulders went back and
his head went up. ''No, madam,
you use the wrong word. These
boxes do not contain the re-
mains of the deceased. They
contain the effects of the deceased.
The deceased-ssand here he drew
himself up straighter and straight

arm in a gesture of strength
"the deceased is perpendicular
and not horizontal, and he will
probably remain in an erect
position for years to come"

Mr.. Cleveland left the White
House the problem for Congress to
s)lve, if true to its duty, was to re-
duce tariff taxes to such an extent
as to relieve the people from an I'M
necessary burden-to stop the ac-
emulation Of surplus revenue in a
manner to confer the the greatest
possible benefit upon the people.
Congress has not only not solved the
problem in this way, but has actu-
ally added greatly to the peoples
burdens. The opportunity present
ed by an excess of revenue to reduce
tariff taxes III the interest Of the
people was abused to increase tariff
taxes in the interest of protected
manufacturing capitalists. The ac-
cumulated surplus was squandered
upon the favorites of the republican
party, and the future revenue was
mortgaged by permanent appropria-
tions Oh an extravagant scale for
pensions, subsidits and other like
gratuities

The overshadowing curse of Amer

hands on every bushel of wheat,
every sack of at, every sack of
-four, and every ton of coal, and not
q man, woman or child IN America
but feels the touch Of this money+d
,depotism. His scepter is made out
of the iron track of railroadirg and
the wire of telegraphy. He propos-
es to have everything for his own
advantage and the peoples robbery
He stands in the railroad depot and
puts into his pocket each year $780,
100000 beyond the reasonable
charge for his services. He cons
trolls nominations and elections, city
elections, state elections.
. The monopolist's last effort will
be to start monOpolistic newspapers,
if he cannot subsidise those existing,
making a desperate effort to crush
out the peoples last and best friend.

General Beauregard's recent
book on "The Battle of Manas-
sas" takes the position that the
credit of concentrating the con
federate forces belonged to him
and that General Joe Johnston
did not know much about the
fight. Northern reviewers say
that-Beauregard was about to
be defeated when Johnston's
troops arrived from the Shenan-
doah valley and changed the
fortunes of the day.

RALEIGH, March 1S.-The Legisla-
ture has left political thought at the
State Capital in a chaotic state of
uncertainty as TO the near future out
come. The Alliance people are clay
ing low and keeping dark''-in other
words, reticent; as if they too are un-
certain what the harvest may be-
The haste some of the old political
warehouses are making to get on to
the farmers racket in other States, is
beginning to suggest to some herea-
bouts the question "why stand we
here all the day idle ?' or ''why stand
upon the order of outgoing; why not
go at once?"
Republicans are simply dazed and
dumb-founded, stunned, standing
stock-still.

A NEEDED TYPE OF STATES
MAN.

- Ii
= General Palmer, the new United
States Ssuator from Illinois, be-
longs to q class of statesmen
that has been little seen or felt
during the last score OF years.
He is of heroic mould; he has
frequently sacrificed his conviee
tions. His rather more en-
phatic than elegant expression
to one of the Farmers Alliance
Representatives, who held his
election to the Senate in their
hands-"don't mean to go to hell
by way of the Senate, Mr.. Cock
rell, summed up his political
character SO clearly. that none
itcan misunderstood him.
General Palmer twice resigned
a seat in the Senate, Of illinois be-
cnuse he could not follow the
commands of his party, In 1852
he was elected as a Democrat
ic Senator, but in 1854 he. de-
nounced the repeal Of the Missouri
Comprise and the Kansas policy.
AS he could not follow his party,
he resigned his Senatorship and
went before his people asan anti
slavery Democrat and wasagain
elected in 1855. In 1856 he de
cided to severiaH affliation with
the Democrats and he presided
over the first Republican Conven-
ton in that State AS he had
been elected to the Senate as a
professed Democrat, and could no
longer act with the party, he
again resigned his Senatorship.
In 1868 he was nominated by the
Republicans and elected Govern
oc of his State, and in 1872 he
took issue with General Grant
because of his despotic abuse of
the military in politics and sup
ported Greeley for President.

sive tariff taxes by the Republi-
cans has made him act with the
Democrats, and he has several
times led them in Illinois ais a
nominated candidate for Govern
or or Senator.
General Palmer is. statesman
of conviction and heroic in his
fidelity to his honest Judgment.
He is, indeed, much needed type
of statesman, and his election to
the Senate means much more
than a party victory; it means
a victory for manliness in states
manship and heroic integrity in
public trust. nsfa eu~ .
