1t 10 almost an affliction To be
deaf; anyhow, it is a little en-
barrassing at times. A certain
city editor went cut to report a
party, the other evening, where
the home was blessed with q
new baby. Accompanied b
his best girl, he met the hostess
at the door, and after the usual
salutation, asked after the ba-
by's health. The lady, who was
quite deaf and was suffering
from tile grip, though he was
asking about her cold, and told
him, though she usually had
one every fall, this was the
worst one she ever had; 1t kept
her awake nights o good deal at
first, and confined her to her
bed. Then, noticing that the
scribe was getting pale and
nervous, she said she could tell
by his looks that he was going
to have one just like hers, and
asked him to 20 and sit down

We would not, for q moment,
doubt woman's ability to fill
most any position in life, but
man is the glory of God, and
woman is the glory of man.
OF late years there seems to
be a tendency among the wom-
en- to assume the prerogatives
of man, and all who have at
tempted such a course have, to
a very large extent, brought
themselves under criticism,
even by the most refined Of Their
own sex.
Woman is not adapted to the
work that belongs to man,
neither is man adapted to tbs
work that belongs to woman,
Some women are now seeking
notoriety by dabbling in politics
but so far they have proven
positively, that they cannot
thrive in that field. Some have
assumed the prerogatives Of
preachers, but have failed Il
impress the world that they
were in their right sphere.
As physicians they may prove
a blessing to their own sex.
Their frailty units them fel
many positions in life that 9th.
srwiss might be filed by them.
They make better housekeep
ers than men as they are better
adapted to that sphere. We
hope to see the day when all
Of them will put forth greater
efforts to enlivsn the home
circle and leave the work that
properly belongs to man, for
man to do.
Some eminent man, q few
years ago when the country
was going wild over women
preachers, asked this question
"If woman takes mans place
what are you going to do with
the mani" That question might
very wisely be propoundsd now
Very few women are able K

HAWAII,S REQUEST.

Tkat tho United states
viii Consent to Annexation.
WASHINGTON, Jan 30.--The topic
Of discussion here nowis the request
of Hawaii TO be annexed to the Unit
cd States. Secretary Foster and
Minister Mott Smith, Of Hawaii, held
a consultation Saturday, after which
the Secretary went Immediately to
confer with President Harrison.
While, of course, no statement Of
the policy to be pursued by the Unit
ed. States in the matter will be made,
at least not until after the arrival Of
the commissioners Of Hawaii, who
are to present request for annexa-
ton to the United States, it may be
said that tho visit Of the Hawaiin
commissioners will hardly be success
full if the purport thereof has beer
correctly stated. Aside from the in
novation upon the policy Of the gov
ernment since its organization, which
annexation would be, the interests .
other countries in the Sandwich
Isles, are too large to permit on tn
part Of the government of these ma
i tions an acqniescence in such annex
alton. It would involve a conse
quence that the United States woul,
not care, and which its long settle'
policy forbids it to assume.

An Article that Is Productive of
No Good.
The Nashville American has
given vent to some very un-
wholesome remarks upon the
death Of Ben. Butler, Of Mass.
We did not approve Of Mr.. But
ler's i'll treatment of some of our
loyal southern citizens, and
there are many other traits in
his life that we did not admire.
But Mr.. Butler has gone to be
judged by . judge from which
there can be no appeal, and as
he il in the hands Of Him who
knows our uprising and our
down settling, it is time for Us to
let him 20, for we cannot change
the decree for better or worse.
Such an article is calculated
to engendsr i'll will, not only to
ward the writer, but toward the
South.
We would not publish such
an article in our columns fol-
any consideration. It. is no
ours to say where Mr.. Butler il
new. We dc not know, neithe
does the Nashville American
The American, we think, j
making fine progress toward tn
same region it has consigns,
Mr.. Butler.
There was q mighty chasr
between the rich man an
Lazarus-one that was neve
crossed. There has been a grea
chasm between the North an
the South since 1861 and at time
it has been almost bridged, bu
some scatter-brain always come
in at an inspportune time an
knocks out q prop which n
quiresIyesrs to rebuild.
Mr.. Butler, and Jay Gould, &
whom much has been said, al
in the hands of Him whe nsys
makes a mistake, and all thu
we can say or write will nc
affect their condition in th
least.
What time we have allotte
to US can be spent with create
advantage in trying to benef
the living.
Mr.. Butler had his time o.
earth. He has now passed froI
the arena of lifs-he is not her
to defend himself from sue
attacks, just or unjust, and
looks cowardly in any one, an
it is certainly unkind, to spssl
of the dead in such terms q
