Washes A WASHER.
he Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
it happened that ''masher" was
on the Nashville and Chattanooga
train recently, and to his right, a
few seats forward, an old farmer sat
with his rosy checked daughter, who
looked as demure and sweet as rogue-
ish maidens can. The masher, who
had already conceived the idea that
the world was his and that feminini-
ty must bow in humble obeisance to
his charms, bethought himself that
he would break the simple maiden's
heart. SO he brought to bear
upon her all the graces of firtat ton
that he possessed. He winked, he
sniggered, he laughed, he leered,
grinned, looked sweet and drew his
handkerchief across his lips. The
little maid, unused to such things,
watched him with artful curiosity.
Finally he made bold to throw a
kiss at her with his finger tips.
This was the straw that broke the
camel back, and almost broke the
dudes. The old man knew about
planting in the new moon, and about
the time when crops should be gath
cred, more than he did the ways of
world. But, i'll slang phraseology,
he was 'on to" the masher. The
old fellow got up and started down
the aisle, and the young fellow, for
gettul that he was with the young
lady, leaned forward to wink at he1.
When the old farmer reached the
dandy he brought his hand down
heavily on his hat, MASKING it all
over his face, grasping him By his
shoulders and shook him as a terrier
would rat. Then he slapped his
face until the young man was tired.
To cap the climax, the old man de-
liberately took him across his knees
and, amid the cries OF the masher
and the laughter and jeerS of the
passengers, he spanked him. When
he had finished the farmer placed
the discounted dude up in his seat,
and placing both hands on his hips,
sarcastically asked, where were
you raised, anyway, young man ?"

UPSHAW.

We read and have pondered with
much interest, the proceedings of
tle recent meeting of the Marietta
Bible Society. What true Chris
tian heart can fail to be touched
with, and encourage by cortribu-
ton, the effort to circulate the BIZ
bic. the dear old book that has so
long stood the test of time and the
cavilings of infdelity, and been the
light OF hearts and homes and Ia
tons p? We heard once of a man
living in Cobb county, who said that
the Bible is not a family book-not
book fit to be read in the pres
ence of boys and girls. Perhaps
there are some few places that were
not intended to be thus read, but in
the main, its glorious, life-giving
truths shine on every page from
Genesis to Revelation, 20 be read
and needed alike by men and wo-
men. Aud we fear that the man
who made that fearful remark
poor man is lost, himself, an1.
stands greatly in need of its redeem
ing truths. Wherever the Bible
has gone, it has carried light into
the darkest places Of sin, converting
wicked meh and women to new
hearts in Christ Jesus, and turning
them from vicious lives and death
beds of despair, to Christ and God
and Heaven" If you love the
Lord Jesus we'll enough, you will
strive to place in the hands. of every
one the Bible, telling them Of your
Redeemer, and that will be to each
letter of love from the hand of
God. EARNEST WILLIE.

CLEANSES THE WHOLE SYS-
TEN.
TEN.

During the last half century there
has been a wonderful development
in what is known as sanitary science.
1t is science that looks to the pre-
vention of diseases in communities
through the medium of cleanliness,
and it commends itself most urgent>
ly to the common sense of the peo-
pie. Meanwhile, it should be borne
in mind that the human system
stands in need of sanitation. and re,
quires even more care than the mu-
nicipal body. 1t is precisely here
that s. s. S. takes up the work
of the sanitary scientists. 1t
cleanses the whole system, puri>
6es the blood, disinfects the chan.
nels through which it flows, and de.
stroys the germs of disease. it is
harmless medicine, and yet a most
powerful one. 1t is natures tonic
remedy.

WE should not judge others too
harshly, and by no means too hasti-
ly. The saying that there is no
harm in telling what We know to be
true, in this respect, may be grossly
abused. What we may recognize as
a fault, may spring from cause of
which we are utterly ignorant; it
may arise from instability of charac
ter, rapid transition Of feeling, or
weakness Of judgment. We know
that the same disease will not show
itself by the same symptoms in diff
ferent constitutions, neither do re-
sembling symptoms always imply a
similar disease. So that the act
which with US would be the result
of one feeling, in another mind may
be the result of very different one.

AN ACCOMPLISHED LIAR FROM mis-.
SISSIPPI.

A Misissippiau, a Georgian, and
a Texan were together yesterday in
the rotunda of an uptown hotel,
says the Memphis Commercial, and
each one was Boosting of the great
ness and excellence of bis own state.
Said the Mississippian: "My state is
the greatest cotton state in the
world" Then up spoke the Geor-
ian: 81 beg to differ with you there
for we raise a great deal of cotton
ours elves; and my state is the great
est watermelon state in the world"
"But," said the Texan, gentleman
l think the honor of being the great
est state belongs to Texas. We
have the greatest variety of crops
and we have the richest soil in the
world. We can raise anything in
Texas except watermelons."
"Ah," said the Georgian with a
triumphant look. "And why can't
you raise watermelons?"
Because said the Texan sadly,
"the vine grows so fast and runs
over the ground so fast that it wears
the little melons out dragging them
along on the ground. There never
was but one watermelon raised in
Texas and the man who raised it put
it on a sled and hired two negroes
with teams of oxen to stay in the
field day and night and pull the mel
on along as fast as the vine grew"
"And what did he do with it,"
asked the Mississippian.
''He cut door in the side of it
and drove all his hogs III it, and
when they ate their way out IN the
fall they were all seal fat"
"Gentlemen," said the Georgian
meekly, "let's take a drink" And
this wound up the tristate contro-
versy.

GIGANTIC SKELETON.

THE Gigantic skeleton of man,
measuring s feet 6 inches in height,
was found near the Jordan River,
just outside Salt Lake City, last
week. The find was made by a
workman who was digging an irrigat-
ing ditch. The skull was uncovered
at depth of eight feet from the
surface of the ground, and the
skeleton was standing bolt upright.
The workmen had to dig down nine
feet in order to exhume it. The
bones were much decayed and
crumbled at the slightest touch.
They were got together with great
care, and the skeleton was found to
measure s feet 6 inches in height;
the skull measured II inches in
diameter, and the feet 10 inches
long. A copper chain, to which
was attached three medallions cover
ed with curious hieroglyphics, was
around the neck of the skeleton,
and near it were found a stone ham
mer, some pieces of pottery, an ar
rowhead, and some copper medals.
Arhaologists believe that the origi-
nal owner Of the skeleton belonged
to the race Of mound builders.

DON'T scold. Mothers don't
scold You can be firm with your
children, you can reprove them for
their faults, you ca:l punish them
when necessary, but don't get into
the habit of perpetually scolding
them. 1t does them no good. They
soon become so accustomed to fault
finding and scolding that they pay
no attention to it. Or which often
happens, they grow hardened and
reckless in consequence off it. Many
naturally good disposition is ruined
by constant scolding, and many a
child is driven to seek evil associates
because there is no peace at home.
Mothers, with their many cares and
perp)exities. often fall into this habit
unconsciously, but it is a sad habit
tor them and their children. Watch
yourselves and don't indulge in this
unfol tunate and often unintentional
manner OF addressing your children.
Watch even the tones of your voice
and above all watch your hearts, for
we have divine authority for saying
that tout of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh. Chris

Free Coinage Defeated.

The House Finance Committee on Satur-
day last submitted an adverse report on the
Senate bill for the free coinage of silver. Mr..
Cleveland's anti-silver letter, doubtless, had
some effect in producing this result The
question is still an open one and will proba-
bly,, in some localities, be an issue in the next
Presidential contest. The first thing, how
ever, for the people to do is to get rid OF the
Mckinley robber tariff. Then, perhaps, the
currency question will adjust itself naturally.
Able and thoughtful men, who can not be
accused of selfish motives, differ widely in
opinion as to the effect of free coinage OF
silver, and from this difference of sentiment
it may reasonably be concluded that one side
is as likely to be in the right as the other,
and that no one can foretell exactly what
might follow if the coinage of silver were
unlimited.
The anti-silver men draw gloomy pictures
of the evils which free coinage would bring,
among which. they say, would be debased
currency, less in purchasing power than
gold. Foreign countries would unload their
silver on US, at the rate OF W cents Tor dol
la-'s worth of gold or its equivalent. In op-
position to this argument the silver men say
that no such result has as yet followed the
freer coinage of silver. Plenty of money in
the country would mean, to the farmer, bet
ter prices and a surplus above his expenses
with which to pay his debts. 1t would en-
courage investments In land and enable many
q farmer who has more land than he can Gull
tivate advantageously to sell part and leave
the rest unencumbered.
1t is unfair to draw parallel between an
unlimited issue of paper money and freer
coinage of silver. Paper has no intrinsic
value. In will not pass current in foreign
countries, but silver has a purchasing power
in every part of the world. We regret that
some compromise, at least, was not effected,
by which the "dollar of our daddies" could
have been made more plentiful among their
dnonoudanto

Death Of Senator Wilson.

Hon. Ephraim X. Wilson, U. s. Senator
from Maryland, died of heart disease, in
Washington, on Tuesday night. His sickness
began on Saturday night with an attack of
Indigestion, after eating some bean soup.
Senator Wilson was in the 10th year of
his age and was first elected to the Senate 10
1884 to succeed Senator Groome and was re-
elected in January, 1890.
In his death our State has suffered severe
loss. Senator Wilson was man of the pur
est character and highest integrity. His abil-
ity as lawyer was unquestioned and as
statesman he took foremost place in the de-
alterations of the Senate. His counsel al
ways had the underlying basis of well-defn-
ed Democtatic principles to support it and
where principle was involved he never wav-
cred.
Judge Wilson was a native of Somerset
county, Md. His father, himself an accom-
plished lawyer and prominent man, died
when the son was mere lad. He attended
the Snow Hill Academy until he was fifteen
years old, when he entered store in Phila-
delphia. He remained there one year. when
Judge Asa Spence, one of the circuit judges,
and who had married his sister, saw that the
boy gave promise of useful career and gen.
erously assumed the expense of his education,
inducing him to return to school. Young
Wilson then went to Washington Academy
in Somerset county, and thence to Jefferson
College, Cannonsburg, Pa, where he gradu-
ated in 1910. He taught school for six years
afterwards, first in Washington Academy
and then in the Snow Hill Academy, study
ing law in the meantime.
In 1S47 he was elected to the House of
Delegates and after serving one term pursu-
ed the practice of law with marked success.
In 1857, his health having become delicate,
he relinquished his practice. In 1872 he was
elected to Congress and distinguished him
self by an able speech on civil rights and es-
pecially in opposition to the proposition for
mixed schools. He declined denomination
and in 1878 was appointed to the vacancy of
Judge in the first circuit, and was elected to
the same position in 1879, without opposi-
ton.
The vacancy caused by the death of Sena-
tor Wilson will be filled by appointment of
Governor Jackson to serve until the next
Legislature meets, which will elect his sue
cessor. Two United States Senators will
therefore be chosen by the Legislature in
1892.
