CHILDREN BEGGARS.

We publish to-day a communica-
ton from Mr.. JNO. T. PULLEN upon
the subject of ''Children Beggars.
Mr.. PULLEN is the most liberal man
in Raleigh and his efforts to help
the poor in personal service and
money are untiring. His going in
and out among them, and carrying
the blessings of Christian cheer and
food and wood, have already brought
him the gratitude of all humane
people, and will give him an eternal
weight in glory.
His words are the faithful words
of a friend; in the interest Of the
deserving poor; and are prompted
by desire to save the girls from
ruin.

DEMOCRACY OF THE RIGHT SORT

The Enquirer, Evening Post, of
Columbus, and the Evening Bee, of
Toledo, Ohio, the Democratic papers
that opposed Governor Campbells
nomination, have all come graceful
ly to his support and announce that
they will give their undivided efforts
in behalf of the ticket. That's the
stuff: They didn't think CAMP
BELL the strongest man and said
SO earnestly. But when the wis
dom of the party expressed itself as
believing him the best and strongest
leader, these editors patriotically
come to his support.

REVENGE DOESN'T BRING HAPPl.
NESS.

A few years ago New York
widow, forty years old with a for
tune of $75, 900, met Mr.. SAM. w.
LEWIS at a seaside resort, and mar
ried him. He had nothing and i'm
mediately after marriage began to
get money from his wife to invest
in Pullman car stock. When she
found that LEWIS had got all her
money and squandered it and never
purchased any stock; and that, now
that her money was gone, was pre-
pairing to desert her, she had all the
rage of woman scorned. Detec-
tives were employed and LEWIS was
chased through New England and
captured. He was tried and con-
victed, and sentenced to imprison.
ment.
The widows revenge was com.
plete, and if revenge brings happi.
ness she would have been happy
woman. But, as the sentence was
pronounced "the tears rained dowr
her care-wOrn cheeks"
Revenge is sweet until it is OBJ
tained, and then it's as bitter al
wormwood and gall. The man de
served all the punishment he got
but the woman finds in her reveng
a sorrow that will 90 with her t,
the grave. The revenge she ha
obtained will not tighten but add t,
the weight she has to carry.

taken other. She hated TARRANCE.
and when she left the room after
most insane reveries, she wept.
It falls out that she discovers
that she loves Mr.. TARRANCE,
and did not know it until she saw
him kiss his wife with such raptu-
rous joy. She is ashamed of it and
feels that she has committed a ter
rible sin. She rushes out in the
street and hastens to church, and
there prays for death. But the
grim monster does not heed the
uttered prayers Of passionate love.
A poor woman with her child comes
into the holy place. JEAN gives her
help, and the light Of gratitude
CLEANS in the woman's eyes and
convinces JEAN that she has some
thing to live for. She goes home,
and determines to unbosom her
self to Mrs. FARRANCE. It is a
terrible ordeal. She hides her face,
and tells her 81 love your husband;"
and expects Mrs. FARRANCE to
hate her and repulse her.
On the contrary, that much-loved
wife (who is ill) directs JEAN to
go and open a drawer and bring her
a little fiat olivewood box. In the
box, which Mrs. FARRANCE kisses,
is yellow photograph, two letters,
and what looked like an artificial
orange flower. The picture is pro-
nounced beautiful, and Mrs. FAR
RANCE ccnfesses it is the picture of
the only man she ever truly loved.
Thus ends the first installment.
The word-painting is beautiful, but
not equal to that in some of the
other stories, and there is more art
in her style. But the story, bright
, as it unquestionably is, cannot
be called either healthy OF
inspiring. 1t gloats on forbidden

girl, her heroine, beside herself fo1
love of another mans wife. Bad a.

$. s.ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN"

The above is the title of Mrs.
AMEL1E RIvEs CHANDLER's new
story, the first installment of which
appeared in the current number Of
the Cosmopolitan. It is beautifully
illustrated by KATE H. GREAToREx
and has a frontispiece which shows
a lovely picture of the fair author.
This is the first product from Mrs.
CHANDLER's pen since her marriage.
The opening chapters do not indi-
cate that the story has the intense
interest or thrilling plot which char
acterized some of her earlier stories
Were it not for the fact that even
the stories Of her young woman
hood, written in staid old Virginia,
were open to the same objec:ion,we
would say that "According to St.
john is decidedly after the French
style. She has always marred the
work of her genius-for she is the
brightest star in the literary firma-
ment of to-day--by her apparent
love Of portraying unlawful scenes,
and her French-like admiration of
illicit love.
This latest story has as its text:
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that man lay down his life
for his friends.-John xv-13.
With this text, from the gospel
of the disciple whom Jesus loved,
she writes a wierd and highly
wrought story in which her heroine
is made to fall in love with the hus-
band of another woman. The plot
Of the story, as developed in the first
installment, is substantially that

The Baltimore Sun says that
Montgomery county has just ex-
perienced one of the pains and
penalties fortolerating badroads,
which ought to help the cause of
improvement both in road sys-
TENS and supervision. This ex-
perience is a verdict in favor of
Mrs. Moulden, against the coun-
ty commissioners for 3d. 500 dam
ages for personal injuries on the
load near Beans postoffice. The
ward and the costs, it is stated,
will make the bill against Mont
gomery county foot up in this
case at least $4,000, which the
taxpayers will have to pay. The
amount thus to be disbursed
would go a long way towards
putting the road causing this eX-
penditure in good condition.
