The New South.

At a recent Confederate reunion at Lit
tie Rock, Senator Berry said: with the
same love and devotion with which they
followed the Confederate flag in the past,
the Confederate soldiers would rally round
the stars and stripes today, and defend
them against all foes. We have the grand
est Government in the world, and we
should teach our children to honor it and
remain true to our plighted faith. The ex-
Confederates have no apologies to make
for the past, and are as loyal to the Gov
eminent to-day as those who faced them
on so many battle-tields."
At reunion of Debray's brigade at
Seguin, Texas, the following letter was
read from a member-T. B. Wheeler:
Let us all live and vie with each other in
doing all we can to build up this great
country. Let all the bitter feelings engen-
dered by the war be forever eradicated
from our minds. If mementoes of that
strife must be preserved in feelings of bit
terneSs better let such mementoes be kept
Ey the other side. Let us at all times and
under all circumstances teach the young to
love with devotion this great State of ours,
and to always be loyal to this great Union
of States. With deep, true, abiding love
in the bosoms of our people for their
homes. their State, and the Union, they
will always be contented, prosperous, and
patriotic"

A Woman of Genius.

A woman who is a political power in
he state of Kansas, and has forced
through the House of Representatives
of that state a bill giving women full
right to vote end hold Office, is at Wash
ington. Her name is Mrs. Anne Diggs,
and she has done as much as any
woman in the United States to illustrate
and advance the political power Of
women. During the exciting campaign
in Kansas last fall her speeches against
Senator Ingalls, and in behalf
of the Farmers Alliance had a
powerful effort among the grangers.
When she had succeeded in electing an
alliance house, she set to work to make
it do her will. She became member,
and apparently the most active member,
OF the alliance legislative committee,
which is the monitor and Waterman of
the alliance legislators. The alliance
caucus made her a kind of advisory
committee to the alliance representa-
tives. ''She sits in the lobby" writes
Topeka correspondent, land advises
representatives what to do and when to
do it." She made every alliance legis-
lator vote for bill prepared by her
directing the governor to appoint two
women on every state educational and
charitable board of management COM
posed of five persons. She prevented
the alliance representatives from con-
senting to resubmit the .prohibitory
amendment. Against the will Of some
of them they voted for her suffrage
bill.
Mrs. Diggs must be women of high
powers of persuasion and great firmness
of will to exert such an influence. She
speaks for the women of the Alliance,
and they were terrible as an army with
banners to the Sunflower Republicans
last fall. The girls made their admir-
ers vote the Alliance ticket. The ad
mirer who refused found that his
inexpensive she didn't know him the
next time they met. The married wo-
men were equally Jealous. The women
helped the Alliance win, md Mrs.
Diggs means that the woman suffragists
shall not be neglected. She is in
Washington to report TO the Kansas
Alliance the behavior of Congress, and
10 take charge of the Alliance Senators
and the five Alliance Congressman from
Kansas. Judge PETER is a woman
suffragist, and we presume that the five
Congressman are also. If they aren't,
Mrs. Diggs will soon bring them into
line. She is a remarkably energetic
and plucky politician. She seems to
have genius for politics.-New York

An Overcrowded Profession.

1.-THE reason why there is such rush
of lawyers for every judicial and legal
Office that becomes vacant is plain
enough" said lawyer. 1.-The profession
is overcrowded. Lawyers, like most other
men, prefer the sweets of earning their
living independently, to the obligations of
salaried office. But the temptation to
make try for an office worth anywhere
above 5000 year is strong to a man
who knows the chances are against his
earning that much in his profession. 1t
is the wish to live COMFORTABLY more than
the desire for the hOnors of Office that &C
tuate him. There are over 800 lawyers
in Chicago. Take out the Trumtulls,
KnickerbOckers, Jewetts, Goudys, SWEETS,
Fullers, Bisbees, and few score others,
and how many earn s., 900 a year? How
many earn 5000? How many half of
that sum? There is more and more of
disposition to settle commercial disputes
privately. Big cases are scarcer. And in
criminal law all the rich professional
criminals who fought desperately are
dead. exiled, or in prison. The bar pre-
sents few attractions. Why, know one
young mau who used to sit day after day
in his Office waiting for clients, and at night
drive hanson cab TO live"

A Very Narrow Escape.

A lady living not many miles from Char
lottesville is very much afraid of snakes,
She had always heard that when snake is
going to strike it wraps the tip of its tail
around some object to give itself leverage.
The other evening she retired to her room
without light, the weather being ex-
tremely warm. She had been there but a
moment when her piercing shrieks aroused
he other inmates, who were informed that
q snake was on her bed. In passing her
hand over the bed the snake had wound
the tip Of his tail around her finger pre-
oaratory to striking the death dealing
blow: When light was brought the family
found the Young lady in faint,ng eondi.

While these thoughts fitted rapidly
through my brain the old ragpicker

rOut whole colony of wasps at a single
blow. He was not long in finding stone
and putting it through their paper nest,
and the wasps were not long in finding
him. The first tickled him right over the
left eve, and so absorbed his attention that
he could not tell where the rest struck
him. His legs and arms worked like the
bars of thrashing machine, and he rolled
on the earth like an ant-eater assailed by
bees. When. he thought he had rolled
three miles he felt himself drop several
feet, and then he struck stump and
stopped. For moment he couldn't de-
eide what to do. He couldn't tell whether
it was better to lie still or get up. One
eye was entirely Of no use, but he cautious
ly uncovered the other and viewed his
surroundings. He was pocketed between
an offset wall and a tree, and the wasps
had not been able to follow his trail. He
was not looking for them He felt that
home would be more congenial to him, and
went at once. Bat he carried an eye with
him that no one looked upon with envy.

When They Do Gossip They Are Worse
Than Women.
A well known New York banker, whose
vaults are the depository of millions, fell
into conversation with u reporter about q
peculiar phase of social life. IF you
think the women alone are inclined to
gossip, you should come and sit with me
through banking day. As customers
come in, this one and that one will drop
me word about this or that man, until.
as the day goes by, if should believe all
that hear my faith would be destroyed in
half the community. As fact, a word
may destroy the credit of a great house, or
a shrug of the shoulders undermine
mans whole business fabric The men
who have capital are as rule extremely
guarded and suspicious. Suppose you
have come to capitalists for loan of
large sum of money. He asks time to con.
slider it. Ten minutes after you have gone
| come in. He asks me if know you.
answer, yes He asks if you are trust
worthy Instead of answering shrug my
shoulders and say l prefer not to talk
about you. That will end it. You will
not get loan in that quarter. This gossip
at the piazza is only phase of the current
that runs through all affairs. This shrug
of the shoulder has separated good many
friends" Men are more inclined to gossip
than women are. One can hear more
scandal talked in the male social clubs
than he will hear in any female sewing So
ciety. And, while women gossip about
each other, men retail gossip, trivial and
malicious, far and wide in reference to
both sexes

What Keeps Women Young.

A woman is happy just in proportion
as she is content, writes Edward w. Box,
in the September Ladies' Home Journal.
The sun has way of changing the spots
upon which it shines. Especially is this
true OF our land, where one is up to-day
and down tomorrow, and vice versa. The
wisest woman is she who trusts in to-
morrow, but never looks for it. To sit
down and wish that this might be, that
that would be different, does a woman
no good. 1t does her harm in that it
makes her dissatisfied with herself, un.
pleasant to her friends, and makes her
old before her time. Happiness is not
always increased in proportion to en-
larged success. This may sound like an
old saw, and I think it is, but there is a
world of wisdom in many an old proverb
Just the same. Contentment is Won
derful thing to cultivate. There would
be fewer premature.old women in the
world if it was given more of a trial and
it became a more universal quality in
womanhood.

Here is what Mckinley said in regard
to "Honest Money" in his speech at
Niles.
Ohio has never in the past given her
vote for debased currency, and she will
not do so in the future.
When the country was wild for imitation
in 1875, under pressure of hard times
(and they were hard,) the sober sense of
the people of this State, without regard
to party, stemmed that awful tide. The
people of Ohio had more to do than any
other State or constituency of the Union
in keeping the Nation upon the rock of
honest finance and honest currency.
Thousands Of Democrats helped in that
great struggle. Not through their own
party organization, but by leaving their
party organization and joining with the
party which represented good faith and
honest dealing with the public creditor.
They can take no other course this year
And the people of Ohio will take no back
ward step.
1t may be worth while to know the
per capita OF our circulation at differen'
periods of our history.

Tuesday was great day in Lynchburg.
Major Mckinley had been advertised

people came in in buggies, wagons, car
riages, on foot and on the trains. until
between three and four thousand people
had assembled. A large number of
citizens had gone to the station, and
when the distinguished statesman step
ped from the cars he was greeted with
salvo of cheers. A line was hastily
formed, and keeping step to the ex-
cellent music of the Dorsonville band
the procession marched up the street.
After dinner the crowd wended its way
to the City Park, where the stand had
been prepared for the speakers. Nc
