"Sit'' and s.Set. y

Some one who believes in teaching
by example, has concocted lesson in
the use of two little words which have
been source of modification and
trouble to many well-meaning persons
A man, or woman either, can set a
hen, although they calno5 sit her;
neither can they set ON her, although
the hen might sit on them by the hour
if they would allow it.
A man cannot set on the wash bench,
but he could set the basin on it, and
neither the basin or the grammarians
would object.
He could sit on the dogs tail if The
dog were willing. or he might set his
foot on it, But if he should set on the
aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the
grammarians as well ms the dog would
howl, metaphOr;caliy at least
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and then sit down, and be assail-
ed neither by the dog nor by the gram
marianS.

This is true, and being so, no southern

party is the only thing that has stood
between the South and its haters in

things Jones is represented as saying
1.-THE South will go solid for Cleve-
land without the exception of single
State-frst, because he is democrat,
and, second, because he is something
better than a democrat---a man true to
his convictions, and who will try to do
right toward every section of this
whole nation
He is such a man as should receive
the cordial support, of every voter who
desires the welfare of his country, and
more especially of every Southern man,
Not to do so is to vote against the In.
terests and liberties of the people OF
all portions Of our common country.

FIGURES ABOUT u. S.

PENNSYLVANIA has 100000 acres OF
anthracite.
The average size of an American farm
is G1O acres.
The population Of Nebraska has in
creased 1874 per cent. during the last ten
years.
THERE are nearly n round million OF
freight cars in use on American railroads,
which have $1,000 passenger cars IN
service.
WITHIN three years the United States
has bought from the Indians about
thirty millions of acres. Yet there re-
main five times that area, so that the IN
dian is not shut in nor likely to become
so in Il hurry.
An unusual amount of inventive tai
cnt is now being used to prevent the oc'
currencc of fires. The spur in this line
is caused by the statement OF hre losses
in the United States and Canada during
1891, which aggregated Sl35, 100000, m
increase of 20 per cent. over 1890.
