whose talents have given him dis
tinction in his line may now and
then commit a petty sin, or even
one Of magnitude, against social
laws and the trespass be termed
''eccentricity." But such an one

because of his eccentricity, but, in

LEAFLETS.

CoNTRIBU fEp.
What an endless variety in hu'
man faces! Does it not seem
strange that the union of eyes,
nose, mouth and contour should
present such variety as we find in
human facesi Yet the variety is
not due alone 10 the difference Of
features. The heart and mind has
much to do with the attractlveness,
or the lack of it, in faces. The
homely face, when frightened by
the glow of intellect or the halo
that suffuses il when the heart is
warmed by noble passions, is far
more attractive than the face
which, like that of Tennyson's
Maud, is faulty faultless, icily
regular, splendidly null, dead per.
lection, no more" But, oh! the
throng of varied faces one en-.
counters on the journey of life
Smiling, happy, trustful, sunshiny
faces that somehow touch your
heart-strings making for you a
melody as sweet as the wind.swept
aOlean-peevish, fretful faces that
jar your nerve-strings and give
you a feeling of depression-sinis'
ter, groveling faces that prompt
the mental query, tart thou a COB
lin Observation-Disclosures faces
that recall the much-preached-O1
Pharisee-imbecile faces that sug
gest the Darwinian theory.

A gift should not be estimated
according to its intrinsic value in
dollars and cents, but in proper
ton to the richness of the motive
which prompts it. Once, when an
embassy which Queen Victoria
sent to the King Of Siam was pre-
pairing to return to England, the
King entrusted the head of the
commission with gift for Her
Majesty, the Queen. 1t was en-
closed in gold box which locked
with a gold key and the King en-
joined that great care should he
taken of the gift as it was very
precious. When the box was
opened it was found to contain Il
few hairs taken from the sacred
white elephant. The natives of
Siam worship the white elephant
and a picture Of it forms the ma
tional emblem, and the few hairs
from it's sacred body, in the eyes
of the King, was the most precious
gift he could send to Englaud's
honOred Queen.

Difference to her literary talent.
The failure of her journalistic en-
terprise, through lack of the sup
port she had hoped for, has not
chilled her ardOr in striving for
the goal of literary fame. In the
initial number of her Journal she
says "while good intentions can
exist on air, newspaper cannot"
She confessed candidly that the
Journal had mo other backing
than energy, ambition and faith"
These are three requisites in the
establishment of a paper but they
do not add up the sum total nee
essary to its success. About five
years ago Boston recognized Will
Aliens talent; this city that draws
her mantle of literary importance
and exclusiveness close about her
queenly shoulders and seldom
deigns nod of recognition to any
fame-seeker across the line. The
fact that self.impOrtant Boston re-
ceived with open arms this aspir-
ant to fame, argues the worthiness
of Tennessee's talented daughter.

the abdomen. This lump grew rapidly
and toward the last il was as large as a
tin cup. The child suffered greatly, was
unable to swallow, and finally died through
pain and weakness.
The Risher family of New Castle seems
to be followed by a strange fatality. The
father fell bravely fighting in the late war.
Some years ago the eldest son John was
smothered by SHOWS slide on a western
railroad overwhelming his train. Another
son. William, was killed at Wampum
April 5. 1889. This case has been revived
by the recent arrest of David Newton, who
is in jail in New Castle charged with the
murder.
The last victim of the Inflated family Is
Young Jacob Risher, another son, who, as
brakeman on the Pittsburg & Western. was
run over last Tuesday and so injured that
he died Thursday night.

Republican County Ticket

WILLIAM X. PATTERSON.
For Jury.Csmn

QUAY and Cameron had conference at
Cameron's country place in Lancaster Co.,
last Sunday, and report has it that they
settled upon Gregg and Price as the next
State ticket. Quay told Senator Mylin oi
Lancaster that it looked as though this
would not be good year for Republicans,
and that is fact-made so by bad Repub-
licans-and the only way to improve the
party prospects in this State is for the
coming State Convention to upset
the rotten management of the party
in the State, and also to nominate ticket
that will command the respect of the
party. One at least, of the eleven Repub-
lican members of the last House of Repre-
sentatives, who asserted their manhood
from the beginning Of the session, and re-
fused to vote for the traitor Cameron for
the highest Office on the gift Of the party,
should be placed on the state ticket this

Mr.. Quay's Resignation.

Mr.. Quay tested Republican opinion on
the question Of his resignation Of the Ma
tional Committee craftsmanship, and the
response was not character to dissuade
him..from his apparently only hali-formed
intention to give up that office. He re-
signed yesterday, with Treasurer Dudley,
and the Executive Committee accepted
both designations. Whether that body
had the power it exercised is of little con-
sequence. If it needs confirmation the full
National Committee may be relied on to
give the Executive Committees action its
prompt approval.
1t is necessary that the executive head
Of party should be source of strength to
it and not of weakness, and it is the recog
milton Of this fact that made Mr.. Quay res
ignation necessary and matter of course.
Just when that resignation should take
place was the single point in doubt, and
Mr.. Quay has acted wisely in giving it
effect at once 80 that no pretense can be
made that he is an issue in this years cam
paign. His insistence on thrusting the
question Of his vindication in last years
campaign in the State did him no good
and was most unfortunate for the party.
He was not vindicated. The vote of con-
fidence was not carried. and, having raised
the issue, he had no choice but to abide by
the result. His resignation from the Com
mittee, though not generally expected, is
a logical and natural step after his sur
render of the chairmanship.
Mr.. Quay has done good service to the
party. His executive energy, capacity,
and skill are as undoubted as his success.
The fact that he has no longer the esteem
and confidence of large body of Republi-
cans, and that his continuation at the
head of the organization threatened to
cause the withdrawal of very consider
able vote, are facts that must be accepted
on evidence and make his voluntary resig-
nation a wise and timely act.-Philadel-
