AMERICAN MosLRMs.

Ore of the singular religious facts
of recent days is the conversion of
an American Christian to the faith of
the Mohammedans The gentleman,
Mr. Webb, was once an American
consul to a Mobammedan country
and he is the second American consul
to become converted to the other
faith: Moreover, Mr. Webb's con
version is so complete that he pro
poses to form a Mosleln brotherhood
in this country, and this he believes
he can do the more readily because
of the tendency toward societies for
ethical culture, non sectariaD socie-
ties, and other organizations which
seek religious truth. The South is SO
Christian and conservative that we
cannot expect much Mohammedan-
ism here. 1t may prevail 10 d limit
ed extent in large cities of the New
England and Middle States but the
Southerners will merely look on
calmly at any growth of a new creed
in this country.

ABBREVIATED SKIRTS.

ApropOs of the dress reform move
ment as promulgated by the National
Council of Women recently held in
New York, the question arises: Are
women about to throw off the yoke
of fashion, discard English styles
and Partisan modes, and at last be-
come thoroughly and primitively
American? The costume recon-
mended by the committee would seem
to affirm this, viz: a gown or tunic
reaching to the knee to be supple
mented by leggipgs. In place Of
leggings, We would suggest moccasips
(of dearskin) as being more III keep
ing with the aboriginal character of
such a costume. A wampum belt
might not be out of place, though a
tomahawk carried jauntily as one
would carry a tennis racquet might
look a trifie like rushing the fashion
at first.
In this strictly unitarian age when
grace and beauty are threatened to
be offered up on the affairs OF so called
feminine independence" and "com-
mon sense" the dress of .'lovely
woman" as the embodiement of so
much that is graceful and beautiful
and artistic appears fitting sacri-
fee to the growing popular mania
for reform. Those flowing draperies
which the painter loved to fold about
his ideal, and which rustled through
the poets song, are declared by these
modern iconoclasts to be the
emblems of social condition which
is happily passing away. Their ten
dency, it is affirmed. was to encour-
age dependence in woman, hamper
her efforts mentally as well as
physically, and make her a slave to
her passion for admiration. To
foster love for the beautiful, and
to inspire sentiment of chivalry in
the masculine breast are deemed I'M
worthy the dignity of our fin de steele
female whose highest ambition, that
of looking and acting as. much like a
man as possible, must needs be faci1-
itated by revolution in her attire
The trend of the times is toward
the greater freedom and development

Walking to the Fair.

Mr.. George Brown, a resident OF
Cedar Keys, Fla, is tramping from
st. Augustine 10 Chicago. He passed
through Atlanta Saturday and was
in good condition. Mir. Brown is
walking on a wager for some gentle
men, one ofthe conditions being that
he is to give an account of himself in
the newspapers of all the towns along
the route. He left st. Augustine
March 3, and under the terms of the
wager must reach Chicago by April
30. The distance is 500 miles, and
when he left Atlanta Mr.. Brown was
considerably ahead of his schedule.
He is confident ofwinning the wager,
of which he is to receive one hall, with
ease.

SENATOR SHERMAN's latest utter
ance on the silver question contains
the following: 1.-The real remedy OF
the silver problem is to put into our
silver dollar enough silver at-market
value to be equal to gold dollar,
and to maintain all forms of money,
whether coin or notes of equal or in
terchaneable value" We shall be
very glad when everybody can agree
on this financial question. AS a
matter of fact, we like silver more
than we do the silver question.

also abbreviate her skirts? Heaven
forbid In no business pursuit that

to wear a skirt shorter than walk

our mind, when short skirts are a
prime necessity, are those of the

discussion of their prerogative to

been granted them would hardly at
this late day enlist public interest,
or call fortl. the sympathies of a

The Festival of Easter.
From the Moravian.)


Among the Christian festivals none
holds a higher place than Easter.
The JOY of Christmas may be more
loudly expressed, and be realized
more fully by young and old; but the
joy of Easter, the triumphant joy of
the Christian heart because of the
Saviour's complete victory over sin,
death and Satan. is deep and holy.
Looking back over the centuries to
the first yesterday, we see the cause
of this joy: Christ is risen from the
dead. Looking at the sorrowful ex-
periences of the present, we see new
reasons for keeping the feast: Them
which sleep in Jesus will God bring
with Him. Looking into the future,
We find hope and encouragement for
our souls in this festival: ct is a
faithful saying: IF we be dead with
Him, We also shall live with Him."
Let US, therefore, keep the feast.
Even if our joy be dimmed by sor-
rows heavy cloud, and tie heart
cannot threw off all it's weight of
care and. grief, let us nevertheless re-
joice with JOY unspeakable and full of
glory in our risen Lord and Saviour.

Rev. SAM JONES believes in plain
talk, and therefore calls a gross mis-
statement "a great big lie" This
was said regarding an item that he
and a brother minister were carry
ing guns for each other, by which it
was not evidently meant that they
were rying each others burdens.
THERE are over twelve candidates
for Public Printer who gets a salary
of $4,000 year and has to give a
100000 bond. 1t is believed that
nearly all the candidates are more
DESTROYS of getting the salary than
giving the bond. North Carolina
has a candidate, but The SENTINEL
has not endorsed him because we
never endorse anybody before We
know him.

1.-THE Dance OF the Roses" a Spanish

~ for Miss Kate Davis, and "South
ern Dreams" the latest poem written
by Mrs Breuer, mas also passed
through Mrs. Seigiried's hands, and
is now in the possession of the pub
Usher.
When / 5 years old her first poetry
appeared in the Youths Companion.
This was followed by short stories
and serials in both poetry and prose.
For several years her sacred verses
were published regularly in the Con
gregationalist, and at the age of 10
the book, May Bells" a love story,
was warmly received by the public.
She is so much a blonde that her
hair is almost white. 1t is luxuriant,
naturally curly, and falls in beauti-
full soft waves low on her neck, where
it is gathered into a loose, fluffy
knot. Her ewes are large, deep blue
in color, and when she speaks her
sentences seem to modulate uDcon-
sciously into both time and rhyme.
The exquisite Christmas card signed
Dorothy B. and seen in the hands
OF sa~many of our little ones, even at
this late date, was written while
rocking her baby nephew to sleep.
The school children have fitted the
words to the tune of ''All around the
chimney top, monkey chase the
weasel" and as they skip to and
from school they sing it at the top
of their sweet voices. These are the
words as they fell from the lips of a
very tiny miss:
See the little fircffies,
With 'hair lanterns bright.
