Love and Marriage.

At the far end Of Naples lies the
church OF Santa Maria Anunciata,
which once a year, on the day OF Our
Lady, wakes into n brief life and ex-
element. In a silent row before a
high altar kneels thirty girls all in
black garments, with folded hands
and eyes fixed on the picture OF the
Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh
boring founding asylum, and nee a
year all those who have reached the
age OF Is are brought here to the
by any honest man whose papers are
in order and whose character is good.
At the door leading to the sacristy
leans a gray-haired priest, the head OF
the asylum. By and by a man makes
his way from the back of the church
and hands him a little packet OF
papers These the priest reads care
fully, and being evidently satisfied he
gives back the papers and leads the
applicant toward the row OF girls.
All eyes are fixed more steadfastly
than ever on the altar, all their hands
are clasped tighter together, their
faces turn a shade paler, their hearts
beat quicker as the young man walks
slowly along the row. At last he
stops. His choice is made. He
stretches out his hand with a little
smile. The girl rises, puts her hand
into that OF the stranger, and together
they disappear into the sacristy. The
ice being thus broken other suitors
come forward.-Catholic Union.

Kansas Philosophy.

Expecting trouble is worse than hav-
ing had it.
If you don't look after the main
chance it will not look after you.
Some men meyer ride in a hack ex-
cept at a funeral or an election.
The average man don't know what
he wants, and wouldn't know how to
get it If he did.
Whether her power is for good or
bad, a woman seems to have more OF
it than q man.
Trust to luck very much and you
will soon find it the only thing in town
that will give you credit.
Give a man crumbs OF comfort, and
ne will remember while picking them
up that you keep the loaf in your own
hands.
You can form a very good estimate
of how a man treats his wife by the
way she acts when she has the misfor
tune to lose a sum OF money.
The fact that other women are smil.
ing at her husband never worries a
woman half as much as the knowledge
away down in her heart that he is
willing to be smiled at.
If you know anything mean about 9
man either tell it or keep that I-could
If-I-would look out OF your face
There are too many people III tn
world too good to tell that a MAI
stole a pin who will put look on theiI
faces that will convict him OF having
| stolen a horse.-Atchison Globe.

New York Press: The senate is now
secure. The law as to the ballots
thrown out in Duchess county is as
clear as it's violation was outrageous,
and, as to Senator Sherwood's seat,
should the technicality raised against
him be adjudged to have a legal foun-
dalton, the election would undoubt-
eddy result in Republican success.
The senate is saved, and that means
that the state of New York is saved;
that one of the most desperate of po-
litical crimes has been baked in it's
object, and that David B. Hill stands
before the country stripped of what
ever disguise he possessed, of principle
and political honesty, and held up to
the nation as an example OF what is
most despicable and dangerous in the
political life of the nation.

FRIENDLY TO
The British Chancellor in Favor Of the White
Metal.

A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs thus: THE expression of
G~oschen, England's chancellor of the
exchequer, is in favor of the enlarged
use OF silver by the Bank of England,
causes great satisfaction at the treas
ury department. 1t is regarded as the
direct result OF the efforts which Secre-
tary Foster has been making through
Seligman and other American bankers
to secure a candid consideration of
the silver question by European gov
ernments. Communications received
at the treasury department Indicate a
strong feeling in France in favor of the
enlarged use OF silver, which will prob
ably receive fresh stimulus from the
declaration of Goschen."

PROTECTION IN AUSTRALIA.
The Great Southern Republic Takes a Cue
From Us.

Dibbs, the premier OF the colony OF
Henry Parkes, has declared himself a
protectionist in the address to his
constituents, or manifesto, which he
has Just issued. 1t is prefaced by the
statement that additional revenue
must be raised for the colony, and it
adverts to the scheme OF taxing the
unimproved value of land, which is
probably equivalent to Henry Georges
land tax scheme, but the premier says
that while this may be practicable
immediate resort must be had to the
customs for the great bulk OF the nee
essary
Thus far such a tariff might be tar
i'll for revenue only, but let us follow
him a little further. They 1.-THE minis
try), says Mr.. Dibbs, speaking for
them, hold to the policy OF protection.
They are OF opinion that import du-
ties are the most justitiablei if they are
such as will result in the establishing
of new industries and in largely in
creased employment for the people OF
New South Wales, and upon that
policy the ministry Will act. At the
same time the duties they propose
will be as moderate in character as is
consistent with their declared policy
and with financial requirements. 1t
is their intention to propose remis-
sion OF duties irritating in their Incl
dence out OF proportion to the benefit
derived from them.
With New South Wales one fatty
over to protection, and Lord Sails
bury advocating, though somewhat
covertly, the abandonment OF En-
glands present policy, the American
free trader must begin to feel lone
some. Even the literature OF the Cob
den club and the speeches OF Grover
Cleveland will not be able to do away
with the impression which such i'm
portant detections must produce

The Rain-Making Experiments.

A letter from a citizen OF Texas who
witnessed the recent Dyrenforth rain
making experiments inthat state pro-
nounces them the most veritable hum
bugs and absurd waste OF public
money of which it is possible to con-
ceive. He says that the trial party
were shrewd enough not to begin op-
erations before the season when, from
time immemorial, rain has come down
plenty and often in that region. In
his belief, too, unwarranted claims
and representations were sent out as
to the results OF the experiments
