OPINIONS ABOUT WOMEN.

A woman is the most inconsistent
compound of obstinacy and self-sac-
rifce that l am acquainted with
Richter.
The most brutal man cannot live
in constant association with strong
female influence, and not be greatly
controlled by it'll. Beecher Stowe.
A beautiful and chaste woman is
the perfect workmanship of God, the
true glory of angels, the rare miracle
of earth, and the sole wonder of the
world. -Hermes.
A virtuous mind in fair body is,
indeed, fine picture in a good
light, and therefore it is no wonder
that it makes the beautiful sex all
over charms.-Addison.
Sing of the nature of women, and
then the song shall surely be full of
variety, old crochets, and most
sweet closes. 1t shall be humorous,
grave, fantastic, amorous,melancholy,
sprightly, one in all aud all in one
Marston.
If you are in doubt as to the pro-
priety of pursuing some especial
course, waste no time, but decide at
once not to pursue; the mere fact
that you have doubts about it
proves its inexpediency. Some wo-
men always fools) decide in the af
firmative.-Helen Mathers.
A woman must be a fool indeed
who can really believe that her
person is that of grace, her smile
the smile of Venus, her beauty
surprising that of Helen, and her
understanding that of Sappho. She
knows better; she knows that her
wit is small and petty beside that of |
a man; her wisdom nothing but to
learn a little of what men have said;
her very beauty, of which so much
is said, but a flower of few years,
whereas the beauty of manhood lasts
all a life. Therefore, when all is
said and done, the incense burned,
the mock prayers said, the hymn of
fiattery sung, and the idol bedecked
with flowers and gems, she loves to
step down from the altar, slip away
from the worshipers and run to
place in the meadows, where waits a
swain who will say, "Sweet girl, l
love thee, with all thy faults. Wv.
Besant.

When Handel, the celebrated German

Handel. who was iussy little man,

The Irish ba-s singer appeared IN his

The FIRST Paper Makers.

The wasps were actual paper makers
long before man knew how, and by very
much the same process by which man
manufactures it now. In fact, all the
while that people in The olden times were
using wood and stone and brass. the bark
of trees. and the skins OF animals, this
little insect was making a fair better ma
terial.
The wnod fibers used by the wasps are
anout a tenth of an iHch lpng and fincr
than hair. They gather them int"
bundle, adding 10 them as they move
from place to place. You will fnd 1t
very unlike the wood gnawe'l by other
insects. They bruise these ibers into a
SORT of lint, before using them, with their
mandibes or jaws. preierring old aud
dieel wood. After this brusing process
they use sort ii glue. which they eject
from their mouths, Ia iasleu them to-
gether, then they knead it into sort OF
paste, like papier mache, making ii into
a ball Which aiterward they trample into
Il leaf as thin as tissue paper with their
feet. The first thing a wasp does after
the paper is ready is to line the roof of
her house with it, u,ing fifteen or sixI' en-
LAYERS. or sheets, one above the 9th r.
making wall of nearly Iwo inches III
thickness. These layers are left with
spaces between, appearing, aS yop look
at the nest, H. if made of so many little
shells. After the ceiling is finished, the
wasp begins To build the rest of the nest,
which is composed of IN immense num-
Der Of paper cells, and when done look
like a honeycomb, only perhaps more
light and elegant, if this were possible.-
You may think these cells are for honey,
but they are not, for the wasps never
ma il, bul are solely prepared for rear
Ing their young.

District Club Contention.


WHEREAS. II is deemed to the best inter-
ests of The party and that it will better
serve the majority of the clubs to hold Con
sres>ional Conventions, instead of State
Cunvenipn of clubs. and with a view "t
making the organization of clubs more eff
lent hy the organization of Congressional
District Association of Clubs It's therefore
,rdered that a Convention of Democratic
'lubs ofeach Congressional district be held
m
Wednesday. The frst day Of June. 1892,
It the following places: For the First Con
,re-sional district, at Weston; for the Sec
md Congressional district, nj Charles Town.
for the Third Congressional district A.
c. arleston. and for the Forth Congres>ion-
4 district at Ravenswood; for the purpose oi
organizing District Associations of Demo-
cratic Clubs and transtcting such other buSi-
iuess ~ NAV come before the Convention.
In such Conventions local clubs will be emit
lied to the following representation A q
clubs wi h a membership Of one hundred or
ess will be entitled to five delegates; with
more than one hundred and less than lw"
hundred. seven delegates, and with two hun
he'd or more, nine delegates.
The ohi.,t of calling laid Conventions to
meet at the same time and place as the Con

portunily of attending 10th Conventions,
thereby saving both time and expense. The
'ounty Committees and those heretofore
appointed to organize clubs, and all Dem
,crats who believe in such an organization
If the party a. will make it inyincible in
the c'ming campaign are requested TO as
list in the work of organizing clubs in

The Armfes Of The South.

Gen. Dabney II. Maury, in card in
Washington paper, conIrailcIs state
ment made by a correspondent OF that
paper that The whole Confederate force
enrolled during the war greatly exceed
ed 100000 men, and that the Virginia
corps of cadets who were in the battle of
Newmarket numbered 800 The cadets
who marched to help General Breckin-
ridge Gen Nlaury saws, numbered 100.
Of these forty eight were killed and
wounded in The charge which captured
Siegel's cannon and decided the victory.
A Virginia regiment charged with the
cadets, all of Siegrls guns were taken,
and he retreated from the field. As the
armies confronted each other in open field
our little force under Breckinridge could
see that the Germans ou fanked them on
both hanks. Breckinridse was a great
commander and noble genlleman-as,
after his victory he saw those boys lying
dead and dying he wept. For, brave as
any man ever ivei, his heart was tender
as a woman's. The other statement of
the correspondent about numbers OF the
Confederate armies is. Gen. Maury says,
As inaccurate as his estimate Of the cadets.
