1t is the favorite theory of political
writers that there was in 1860 distinct
difference between northern and
southern character, arising out of the
fact that the dominant element in the
north has descended from the Puritan,
and in the south was descended from
the Cavalier 1t is now established
that no such difference of origin can
be proven. The Virginian and the
Maryland planters, the New Jersey
Quakers and the Connecticut and Mass
achusetts settlers sprang from the
same class in England The elements
chiefly represented in all the colonies
at the time of their foundation were
the intelligent yeomanry and small
land owners. The aristocracy of which
the south boosted so much was not de-
scended from the younger or the older
sons of Englishmen of rank; it was
made up of the sons and grandsons and
great-grandsons Of those planters who
were the first by their shrewdness and
energy to acquire large landed estates.
The climate had brought about some
changes, and in the south there had
been developed a class of small land
owners, the so-called poor whites, who
had but little improved during the
century previous TO the civil war The

Playing Card Figures.

Few people know the significance of
the figures in playing cards In olden
times hearts represented ''choirmen"
or ecclesiastics, and the early cards of
that suite have a cape which in form
resembled heart. The spade was
originally pikehead typifying the
nobility of the soldiery. The artisans
were represented by a stone tile, now
known as a diamond. Farmers were
represented by trefoil or clover leaf,
now called a club. The four kings
were originally David. Alexander,
Caesar and Charlemagne, representing
birth, fortitude, piety and wisdom.
The knaves were either knights or
servants to knights.-Chicago Times.
