Some years ago the Duke of Yelling
ton was sitting at his library table when
the door opened, and without any an
nouncement in stalked a figure of singu-
larly m omen.
"Who are you" asked the duke in his
short and dry manner, looking up with
out the slightest change Of countenance
upon the intruder.
Il am Apollyon. | am sent here to

write me word-Ill be ready for you"
The duke then went on with his CORE
spondence. The maniac, appalled, prob
ably by the stern, immovable old gen.
tleman, backed out of the room, and in
half an hour was in an asylum.-Lon-

All great successes, | fancy, must be
surprises to the men who make them, for
the discomfort of the artist with his
painting, of the poet with his verse, of
the playwright with his play, is the pen
atty exacted by the ideal for which men
strive, and which all the more surely
eludes the greatest, whose imagination
is the most far reaching. When a man
is satisfied with what he has done he has
reached his limit: from that point he
goes down hill, imperceptibly it may be
at first, but none the less surely.-Mary

The Partisan Fashion Journals.

LA Mode de Paris" and "Album
des Nodes" so well-known as the pub
locations giving the choicest Paris styles
one month in advance of all other
journals, appear to be growing just a
little too popular. The demand for
them is growing so rapidly that the
publishers, A. Mcdowell & Co., West
l4th Street, New York, have found it
difficult to keep up with the increas-
ing demand each month. They claim
that the American ladies are now buy
ing their journals to such an extent
that most Of the newsdealers are en-
tirely out of them by the fifth of the
month. AS all the plates are made in
Paris by the best artists, the publishers
claim that it requires considerable time
to catch up with such an increased
demand. We agree with our lady
friends that these are superior fashion
journals. We suggest to hem to be-
come regular subscribers, thus making
sure of receiving their journal each
month, and securing that valuable
book, "Dre.sn,aking Simpliied," that
is given as a premium to each sub
| .criber paying $3.50 in advance for
either "La Mode de Paris" or Album
des Modes" for one year. You may
place the order through your news
agent, or send direct to the publishers.

SAM JONES TELLS 4 STORY.
He Pays his Respects to Senator Colqultt
and Congressman Livingston.

ATLANTA, GA, May 2l.-The Rev.
Sam Jones pays his respects to Senator
Colquitt and Congressman Le"nidas
F. Livingston. He says:
II see Brothers Livingston and Co =
quit have been in Georgia regulating
polite. and saving the Democratic
party by working for Hill or some
Western man.
"The country at large is still for
Cleveland, and each day have no can
didate, and that old Grover has no
competitor except some Western man,
and said competitor only exists in the
brain ofthose who are for Hill and who
are for anybody to beat Cleveland.
Leonidas inquiring who Sam Jones is
reminds me of the fellow who rode up
to a gate in the country and asked of a
man
"'Have you seen anything ofa dog
going down the road, with a tail an
inch or an inch and half or two in
ches long"
"And he answered, Yes, he went
down the road about an hour or an
hour and a half or two hours ago, and
he has had time to get mile or mile
and half or two miles,"

TGreenYilfe News.l

When the Peoples party holds its re-
union of the blue and the grey at
Omaha we wonder if any thinking
will be done. The platform of that
party proposes to increase enormously
the pension payments to Federal vete-
rams. The old Confederate who came
out of The war beaten, despoiled and
ruined has struggled onward gradu-
ally, bearing many ~ burdens.
One of the heaviest has been his share
of the pensions paid the soldiers of the
other side. Much Of this he has paid
like man without grumbling as part
of the penalty of defeat, tribute levied
by the conquerors on the conquered.
Now, however, he may begin to think
that the tribute is becoming more than
is right. Nobody has helped him. No
public treasury has been opened to
him. He has scufhed along, sometimes
on one leg, sometimes with one arm,
and done the best he could. Even in
his own section he is becoming out of
date. He is told that younger and
shiftier men must come to the front
and that war service does not count
any more by comparison with service
to new political gods aRd in packing
and manipulating conventions and pro-
claiming new doctrines of politics
without knowing anything about them.
Remembering all these things, we
| wonder whether the Confederate sur
vivor ct the Omaha reunion will not
look upon his Federal brother of the
Peoples party to whom the wealth OF
! the country has been bountifully
poured out and wonder if he is not
already paying full share of tribute,
if he is not being sufficiently drained
for all practical purposes?
The Peoples party has many poets
One Of them should paraphrase for the
reunion during the convention fami'
liar verse and make it read like this
"Under the platform Is due
! Pending election day,
| Oceans Of Doodle to blue
| Oceans Of votes from the gray"
1t could be rendered, with fine effect
following that stirring gem of poesy
"Good bye, my party, good bye"

The crutches told the tale of many a
battle, so far as their owners were con-
cerned.
The old Confederate battle flags were
carried along side by side with the
stars and stripes, each telling, in terms
more eloquent than words can tell, the
story OF those years of strife. But on
that day they in harmony fioated Oh
the zephyrs or dropped by their staffs.
"Dixie," in melody, called forth many
rounds C cheers. This, next to the
funeral cortege Of Ex-President Davis,
was the largest and most entirely
Southern assembly and parade we have
had in this city for years.
THE OVERLOOKING RIVER.
I went down to ihe foot of Canal
street the other day and found the
water just coming over the top OF the
levee. The river is as high now, almost,
as it was in the flood Of $50. The water
is still using and from the outlook
there will be some serious damage with
in the next few days. The levee gave
way about twelve miles above the city
the other day. There was a small de-
cline-about quarter of foot there
from, but the river is as high now as
before: the crexasse is about 200 feet
wide, and ten to twelve feet deep, and
flowing through at five to six miles per
hour. From this you may have an idea
of what the river is cow.
BISHOP KEENER'S GOLDEN WEDDING.
This evening ATTENDED the reception
given in honor of Bishop John c..
Keener's golden wedding. Jno. G..
Keener is senior bishop of the Southern
Methodist Church. There was a con-
tinuous flow of people, the bishop and
his estimable wife shaking hands with
the visitors as they came. Every now
and then there was a pause as some
one would stop to make presentation
speech with the present. There were
many very valuable presents, besides
sums of gold coin. The visitors passed
from parlor to dining room where they
were served with refreshments. This is
possibly the second time in the history
OF Southern Methodism that bishop
celebrated his golden wedding. The
bishop and wife appear in perfect
health, and may be spared many years
yet. I write this paragraph because
many Of your readers are personally
acquainted with the Bishop.

A Memory Of 1875.
rGreenyille News.

a friend has sent US clipping from
the old Marlboro's Planter giving de-
scription of the Inauguration of Gov
ernor Hampton in 1876. 1t will be re-
membered that the ceremony was in
the open air on a vacant lot in Main
street, Columbia, the radicals then
being in possession of the State House.
Some extracts from the story may be
interesting just now, not only to the
general public, but to the Columbia
Register, which constantly exhibits its
ignorance of the political history OF the
State.
The account says:
"After the lapse Of few minutes,
which seemed ages, Governor Hampton
and Lieutenant Governor Simpson ap-
peared escorted by Messrs. Sheppard,
Orr and Hamilton and followed by the
members of the Senate and House OF
Representatives.
It is a curious coincidence that the
two men chosen to lead the conserva-
tive forces to victory this year are the
same two who were chosen fourteen
years ago to escort the first governor
the white people had chosen in twelve
years. Hamilton, the third member OF
the committee, was the black represen-
tative from Beaufort who had gone einto
the Wallace house and broken the quo
rum of the Maczey house.
Judge Maebey, an ex-republican
swore in the governor and lieutenant
governor, as Judge Cooke had sworn in
the members of the House and the Sen
ate. Those two were then the only
judges in the State who recognized the
election Of Hampton.
In his inaugural the governor said:
I'VE owe much of our late success to
those colored voters who were brave
enough to rise above the prejudice Of
race, and honest enough to throw OF
the shackles of party in their determl'
nation to save the State. To those who
misled by their fears, their ignorance OF
evil counsellors, turned deaf ear te
our appeals, we should not be vindict'
i've but magnaaimous."
That was the feelingin the latter part
of1s76 and in 1877 and 1878 and even
later. Nothing was too good for col
| ored Democrat in those days. Every
body was anxious to help and reward
him. All of u, who were here remen'
ber it.
And the strongest point Governor
Tillman and the Columbia Register car
find against James L. Crr-the only
points that he voted for Justice Will
lard, whose decision and influence re
| moved the troops from the State House
and made colored Democrat jury
commissioner Of Anderson.

For tho Campaign.

The present political campaign prom
ises to be the most exciting in the his
tory of the State. It is necessary to a
proper understanding of the issues in
volved that the people shall be fully in
formed of the progress of the discussion
from day to day. Adopting the words
of Capt. Tillman, in his speech at
Ridgeway in the campaign OF 1890, we
say to the Democratic voters OF South
Carolina: "You need good newspapers,
honest newspapers, because 1 say Ito
you that We are too ignorant in this
State; we read too little, and that is the
cause Of the trouble in the party to-day"
Holding steadfastly to its own con-
victions of right and wrong, The News
and Courier gives both sides of the con-
troversy, confident that the State can
rely upon the wisdom, moderation and
patriotism of her sons. Full and accu-
rate reports of the mass meetings held
in the several counties will be pub
lished in The News and Courier with
out prejudice to any of the speakers
and with the utmost impartiality.
The News and Courier is a Demo
cratic newspaper, first, last and all the
time. 1t has invariably sought to ad-
vance the best interests Of the farmers
of South Carolina and of the country.
It is one of the three Democratic morn
ing newspapers in the State that are
uncompromising in their allegiance to
the Democracy. 1t ought to be read
by ev y Democrat in the State. For
the purpose of placing the paper within
the reach of all who want the news and

paign within the party, The News and

OCT. COKE.

OctaviOus Coke received the dis
tlnguished honor Of being nominat-
ed to the Office OF Secretary of State
by acclamation. The convention
entertained no other thought or pur-
pose. it came as the spontaneous ex-
preston Of every man in the conven-
tion. 1t could not have been other
wise, for his trumpet voice has so
often sounded in the cause Of his
party and his country. that it's re-
verberations ring unweakened in
potency in the ears Of those he has
long led or urged to victory. When
the lamented Saunders passed away,
it was eminently proper that the dis
tinguished gentleu an who then oc-
cupied the executive chair should
call to fill the vacancy one he bad
known long and well, the wisdom of
whose counsel he had .proiued by,
the value of whose services he recog-
nized, the lullness Of whose acquire
mencs he had learned to value. AS
secretary Of State Capt. Coke-as he
is best and most widely known
through his military career IN the
late war-proved at once his ability
to ably fill the office made so dis
tinguished by his predecessor. There
could have been no que stlou as to
the propriety Of his retention in the
office he has so briefly filled, To his
honor, and to the homer OF those
entrusted with the power and duty
OF nomination, not voice was raised
IN the convention or out of it to lm-
pede his triumphal record as the
choice of the convention by accla-
