There is actually nothing of in
terest at Washington to break tho
awful monotony of this tIresome
debate on silver. The Democrats
now concede that the Republican
proposition to take a vote on the
two bills proposed without any de-
lay was the correct thing. How
long is it going TO take the DemOc-
racy to understand that what the
Republicans propose is generally
the right thing?

Houston Post is hard put to it for
defence of Kentucky Breckin-
ridge when it says:
"The general impression around
Washington is that the suit
against Breckenridge is a black
mailing scheme, and that
Miss Pollard it an adventures.
She is the young lady who educat-
ed herself with an old mans
money, with the understanding
that she would marry him when
her education was finished, and
then threw him over and left him
to die with a broken heart"
AT the time Breckenridge met
Miss Pollard he was forty-sever
years old and she was seventeen.
He was married man, but visited
the young lady under an assumed
name, and was the cause of her
being sent away from Wesleyan
college. The idea of his having
his heart broken over her refusal
to marry him is too preposterOus.
The old roue has buried two wives
and is now living with his third
while the poor woman, whom as
child of seventeen he seduced and
by whom he has had three child
rem, is cast off as an unholy thing
unfit for the pious hypocrite to as
sOciate with.

No English Prime minister has
had so hard a row to hoe as had
Gladstone in engineering his Irish
Home Rule bill through the COM

been in open revolt nearly all the

unusually domineering and abu-
sive, yet out of it all the g. o. m.
organizes victory. The method Of
his fight no less than its meaning
is a marvel of shrewdness.

WOMEN THEN SMOKED PIPES.
Recollections Of a Virginian Custom
Prevalent in the Old Days.
From the Richmond Dispatch.


Tt was u kindly concession to the infrm-
tiles of old age, and that enforced idle
ness that comes with second childhood,
that the old women of even the better
class of old-time Virginians were found
sitting by the fireside placidly smoking,
and with meditative retrospection recall
ing the sayings and doings of a bygone
generation, which to them was the best
the world had ever seen.
If you win consider what a large part
smoking and eating play in the best of
Dickens writings, and how utterly i'm
possible it would have been for Washing
ton Irving TO paint the staid gravity of
the early Dutch settlers on Manhattan
Island without their pipes, one can see
what pity it is that pipe-smoking is so
fast passing away in the rush and whirl
of our modern life.
You cannot smoke a long-stem pipe in
a hurry. 1t requires calm and leisure and
a good conscience if you would get the
full aroma of the ''new-grOund" tobacco.
Let me give youa touching bit of pathos
that | heard when a boy at Hampden
Sidney College in lecture given by Oil
Yer ?. Baldwin, then editor of the Dis
patch.
1t was the description Of the death of
an old Virginia farmer. The old man,
with flowing white locks, sat in an arm
chair under an apple tree loaded with
blushing fruit. The tree like himself,
was old, for he had planted it with his
own hands, and together they had seen
many summers come and go. The mel
low sunlight of an October afternoon fell
in slanting rays about his head, and
| tinged with deeper red the apples above
him. In one hand he held the long stem
Of his pipe, while above him circled the
wreaths of gray smoke, which fingered
lovingly for moment, and then tioated
away in infinite space.
AT his feet on the greepsward lay his
| dog, deaf and nearly blind with old ge.
Some autumn insect was lazily chipping
and droning in the grass. Tho lengthen-

east. Some one of the household. pass

came at longer and longer intervals from
his pipe, and, at length, ceased alto

fallen asleep. And so he had but it was
the sleep that comes at the end of life.
for his gentle spirit had fioated upward
TO the realms of light as quietly and
peacefully as the wreaths of smoke that
circled above his head"

Traits Inherited From a stepfather.


Touching our note on "Telegony" in
this column last week, we have received
a communication which may interest
Prof. Romanes. 1t is to the effect that in
a certain parish OF Wiltshire particulars
OF which we can furnish him if he desires
it, there is an old woman whose first hus-
band had bright red, thick curly hair, ~
and their only child had exactly the same
kind of hair
The woman became a widow, and mar
ried, secondly, a man with straight. soft,
light brown hair, with not the least shade
of red in it." No two men could have
been more unlike in appearance. OF the
second family, there were four who re-
sembled their father and mother (the
mother had pretty brown hair and eyes
then came boy and girl exactly like the
child Of the first husband, with the self
same curly hair, regular carrots, blue
eyes and similar features"
They are all living now, in or near the
parish in question Perhaps, nay, prob
ably, there were ancestors of the true
parents. near or remote who had red
hair. and, therefore, the case is not quite
a satisfactory one, but Prof Romanes
may think it worth while to look into it
more closely.

The people of the small island Of Okushirf
Japan, have set an example OF mastering the
drink habit that will commend itself to more
pretentious nations. There were only about
260 souls on the island in 1885 and as they
subsisted on the profits of fishing during a
short season Of the year 1t followed that idle
ness and drunkenness dlled out the rest OF
their time. They consumed large quantities.
OF strong drink and so wasted the
money they made in the fishing season that
many Of them suffered for food aud shelte~
during the inclement weather. kealizing To
what stage they had come, some of INC
leaders among them got up covenant OK
agreement by which the drink curse was 10
DC mastered. The signatures of the islanders
were secured TO pledge to abstain and IL
was vigorously lived up to. so that the once
iavorlte sake ana "sochu" canno longer lie
OBTAINED among them. After q trial of ivc
wears the prosperity Of the island has i'm
-nensely increased, its population more THAI

nshing industry increased tenfold

Significance Of ''van" and won"

Significance Of evan" and "von."
1t is a common mistake of Americans to
think that the predicate ivan" before a
Dutch name signifies nobility. In the low
countries-that is, in the kingdoms Of
the Netherlands and of Belgium van"
has no particular meaning Names with
van" are to be read on shops, as WEI. as
on the doors of the most aristOcratic man.
siOns. The humblest persons have it as
well as the most refined. On the other
hand, great number of the very oldest
families are without it, In Germany
won" means noble, and all persons be-
longing to the nobility have ''von" before
their family names, without any excep-
ton. Persons who do not belong to the
nobility cannot put ''von" before their
names, as they have no right to do so, and
would be found out directly if they as
sumed it, and make themselves ridicu-
lous. But in case of man being knighted
for some reason or other he has the right
to put won" before his family name.
For instance, when Alexander humboldt
was knighted he became Alexander Won
Humboldt, and all his descendants, male
and female, take the prefix.

THE TONGUES POTENT INFLUENCE.

1t was just between daylight and dark.
The logs in the fireplace were great
masses of golden heat. The dogs were
stretched at full length in front Of this,
that they might get as much of it as
possible, and spelt out in the burning
wood, reads when 1t IS diyine!''
And the answers came slowly, but GER
tainly:
"The tongue is a divine organ, when ii
speaks words Of hope and cheer and
mercy; it is played upon by the devil,
when it whispers Of gloom, bitterness, and
of eternal suffering"
The tongue is a divine organ, when il
speaks the good word in the good way :; iii
is played upon by the devil, when it says
the good word in the bad way, and makes
an innuendO an accusation.
The tongue is q divine organ when it
speaks words of cleanliness; the devil is
playing upon it when it says words that
you would find impossible to utter in the
shadow of the altar.
The tongue is divine organ when ii
speaks through the mouths of public
men words that will make living easier
and better for all mankind; it is played
upon by the devil when from it there
only comes inanities, silly personalities
and tireSome stupidities, that have moth
ing to do with the welfare Of the nation
speaks words of kindness and of consola-
tion; the devil is playing upon it when
the music is malicious, when one is hurt
by it, and when it is coarse or vulgar.
My friend, 1t requires genius TO speak
kind words. don't mean the genius that
has brought forth books or pictures, OF
much learning, but I mean the genius OF
the heart Any fool, any villain, any
liar, any thief can speak words of malice
but it takes wisdom, thoughtfulness, and
much loving kindness, to speak well.
There is q great art in controlling the
tongue, so that it absolutely and always
is divine organ, sending forth only the
melody of gracious words, or else, when
they are impossible, achieving that
perfect silence which is a necessity in
beautiful music. 1t is yours, this unruly
little member What are you going to do
with it, Make it a divine organ, or let the
devil play upon it! 1t is hard to control
it, but very good way to do is to remem-
Der this little sentence, said so many
hundred years ago, and to take it for your
motto. There are more poetlcal ones.
but if you want an excuse for it, Just say
My motto2 1t is, The tongue is a
divine organ, but the devil often PLAYS
upon it," it's just the same as that
claimed by Bah.
