the sad story of an Easter Bonnet.

A Roxboro family was nearly bro
ken up by q new Easter bonnet. The
feminine head of the family on Tuesday
evening purchased a new headgear OF
gorgeous hues, trimmed with pansies,
apple blossoms and sweet little forget
menots. To surprise her husband, who
had retired when she returned hsane.
she placed the bonnet carefully on the
sideboard to gladden. his eyes when he
came down in the morning.
When he did come down stairs, the
husband caught the savory odors of fried
ham and the aroma of coffee. But he
had lost a collar button and his temper,
and he brought into the dining room a
rumpled and collarless shirt and q terri
BILE scowl.
Never suspecting, the head of the house
held the flower garden up to his gaze,
saying, There, Jim, don't you think
that's perfectly stunningY'
Jim's reply turned her sweetness into
bitterest gall, for he said, Mo, I don't,
nor do | think much of you or any wom-
IN thatll take a mans money and spend
it for such trashr"
Upon the table was a dish containing
a half dozen eggs ready for frying, but
they never reached the pan. By way of
accent to her sundry remarks she hurled
the eggs one after another with unerring
aim. and Jin:'s face soon looked like a va
riegated sunfower streaked with crimson.
Jim pushed his wife aside, crumpled the
bonnet in his hands. wiped the gore and
broken eggs from his face and then
kicked the stunning thing about the
floor.
AS a result Magistrate Roney's court
records show that James Bresline, on
complaint of his wife Jane. was held in
$500 bail &c answer the charge of assault
and battery at court.-Philadelphia Rec

The Use of the Telephone.

A caution emanates from a French
medical school respecting the use of the
telephone. For ears that are not posi-.
lively sound and healthy the telephone
is regarded as being positively injurious,
and even In a comparatively robust or.
gan its continuous use may be followed
by a formidable list Of physical disturb
ances, any one of which may become
chronic. A sparing use Of the instru.
ment is therefore advised by those whose
ears are sound, and m absolute Austen
ton from it in those whose organs are
weak or imperfect.-Cincinn Enquirer

~smember how we searched the spring.
But found no source-so clear the sky
Within its earth bound depths did lie.
Give to thy JOY Its wings,
Unto thy heart its song, nor try
With q~uestionings
The throbbing throat that sings,
For in thy clear and steadfast eyes
Thine own self wonder deepest lies,
Nor any words that lips teach
Are sweeter than their wonder speech;

So-ask me why,

The speech delivered at Detroit by
Senator Anthony Higgins of Delaware is
manly and eloquent presentation of the
greatest question of the day. 1t is Dem
ocratic doctrine that this Republican
senator eaunciates when he sets forth
the principles of national growth, but it
is more than that; it is Republican doc
trine; it is American doctrine.
Read in connection with such equally
manly and patriotic declarations as the
recent remarks of Senator Morgan, q
Democrat and southerner, it seems as
If the next division of political parties
in this country We're almost sure to be on
lines like these: On the one side the par
ty of vigorous, aggressive, progressive
Americanism; on the other the party OF
obstruction, Of foreign sympathies and
alien ideas
A campaign of education i'll this re-
spect is now going on. The distinction
is becoming more and more sharply in
dicated between those who are ashamed
or unwilling to be Americans and those
who are not unwilling or ashamed

Last of the Druids.

We regret to announce the death of
the high priest of the sun at the ripe age
of 02 To the eye of faith he was tie
last of the Druids. The profane knew
him only as DR.. William Price of Liam
trissant, in Glamorganshire, and charac-
terized him as "a most eccentric man.
1t must be admitted that they We're not
altogether without excuse for this opin-
ion. He attempted to initiate the pontif-
ical raiment of his predecessors in the
priesthood, wearing a whole foXskin on
his head, light green coat with trousers
to match and a scarlet waistcOat.
AS a reproduction of Druidic costume
the profane may perhaps be again ex-
cused for thinking this a little uncon-
vincing. Even high priests of the sun
are not without human weaknesses, and
DR.. Price signalized this truth at the age
of 81 by marrying his housekeeper, a
girl of 10. One must allow that this step
is a touch of prose in such a character,
but he redeemed it shortly afterward by
attempting to burn the body of his dead
child on a funeral pyre which he erected
In a neighboring field. The Druid could
hardly take account Of the constable

Bottle Blowing by MACHINERY.

AT the present time the eyes of the
bottle making world are turned toward
New Jersey Their glance centcrs upon
Woodbury., for in that quite village the
destiny Of the bottle blower may be said
to be on trial. The Ashley bottle max
ing machine has been set in operation to
see if it cannot do the work of human
hands and lungs and do it better and
more economically. The machine was
described before the British association
in 1889, when it was stated that bottles
had been made by the machine, quite
complete, which had successfully been
subjected to an internal pressure of 800
pounds to the square inch. The career
of the machine in England, we believe,
has been most unfortunate, but this does
not at all diminish the interest which its
introduction into America has excited.
The advantages to be gained by the
use of such machine are much too solid
to permit small obstacles to hinder its
success. The trial run at Woodbury.
has been fairly successful. The auto
matte principle has not been developed
to the full extent in these machines, but
it has been carried 80 far that one man
and three bOys-none of them necessarily
skilled glassblowers-can operate two
machines, each of which is capable of
turning out two bottles a minute. Pro

sohnnlrirls Carried Away.

The trip of Vice President Stevenson
N Washington was enlivened by what
came near being wholesale abduction
If schoolgirls from Connorsville, Pa
When the train stopped at that point, a
dozen schoolgirls, ranging from 19 to 16
Years old, climbed aboard the train, and
ttbeprettiest one asked for Mr.. Stevenson.
She was primed with speech, but the
vice president elect had gone to the rear
of the train to address the crowd. While
tbey waited the girls entertained Mrs.
Stevenson and the rest of the party and
were very happy when the train began
to move. The party were assured the
train was only moving to switch and
would be run back.
But the moving was all straight ahead,
and to the great glee of the squad OF
schoolgirlsan the surprise of the Steven
sons the train got up speed and went fly
ing away. When it was concluded that
the train intended to make its next stop
on schedule time, the signal was given to
stop but before it could be brought to a
standstill it was three miles out of town.
The children were set down and started
on their pilgrimage back to school about
the most elated band in the state.-Chi-

The New Figure In rrenoh rol,tIc,.

The deputies went home after Cavair-
macs speech convinced that a new man
had arisen, and that II. Carnot had found
Mt last dangerous rival for his chair.
1t is much too soon to decide vet whether
this anticipation will be realized, Lrt it
Is by no means IN impossible one That
M. Carnot's reputation has been Shining
down an inclined plane has for some
time past been evident to every OH
server. No one accuses him either of
peculation or corruption, though the ac-
qulttal does not everywhere extend to
every member of his household. but n
bitter feeling is abroad that he must
have known more or less what tainted
instruments he was using, and that he
has been inexplicably wanting in the
resolution to probe the affair to the bot
tom and prosecute the guilty.
AS often happens, even the tainted are
in favor of severity, and before NJ. Ca
vaignac's speech men were talking of dis
solution in order to secure a full inquiry
from new house, and asking whether
M. Brisson, the chairman of the Panama
parliamentary committee, would not
make an excellent president. The aus
terity of NJ, Brisson, however, rather
daunts his friends, as he is as yet un-
known to the general population, his
commission having been, so to speak,
smothered by the legal inquiries and
nearly baffled by its want of power to
put interrogations and compel witnesses
to attend. NJ. Cavaignac's name, like
M. Carnots name, is, however. known
to every man in France, and since Sedan
his fathers candidature against Louis
Napoleon has been counted to him for
credit.-LondOn Spectator.

Coincidence In Death.

1t is singular fact that three noted
men have died within few weeks OF
each other, whose names are insepaRbly
connected with one of the most exciting
episodes in congress, when John Young
Brown was censured for having given
free rein to his tongue in defining what
he conceived to be Butlerism. General
Butler, in characteristic speech, de-
manded that Brown be punished. Mr.,
Lamar opposed the motion in quite as
vigorous a speech, and Mr.. Blaine, who
was then the speaker, was called upon
to administer the censure, which he dld
in such low tone thA nobody could
hear him, out of consideration for the
feelings of the disgraced member'-Bos-

and these very plutocrats, like
Sampson of old, are deeply buried
in financial ruin. Many of them
have met the fate of Charles Eos
ter, the secretary of the treasury
under Harrison, and those who
have not are engaged in rough
and-tumble scramble to save them
selves Grom disaster, clutching the
| gold-bugs and the yellow metal
which they hope to save. 1t is
vain to say that silver has been al
lowed to remain as one of the sup
ports of our monetary system by
those who point to the Bland dollar
and the Sherman act. 1t was the
first fatal step of 1878 of the mo.
nomeuallists that brought disaster,
and we can only re.establish our
financial prosperity by demanding
and enacting a measure for the free
coinage Of the white metal. The
condition to which the policy of the
gold-bugs has brought us is wildly
illustrated by statement in the
KANSAS AGITArOR. The writer said
that there are thousands of tenant
residents in New York City, and
that in comparatively new state
probably referring to Kansas, the
tenant farmers have increased from
13 per cent. to 33 per cent. in ten
years In some states, adds this
writer. one-half the farmers are ten,
ants. The condition of the mining
regions of this country, loaded with
mineral wealth, is too well known
to require comment. Thousands
who are willing to work stand idle
over a crust containing millions OF
mineral wealth, while being at the
same time threatened with starva
ton, with wheat, of which their
bread is made, at a lower price than
was ever before offered by the poor
ly-paid farmers.
The call of the people of this
country is universal, and clamors
for a new declaration of indepen-
dence. They propose to change
from a government by the plutocrats
to one by the so-called common peo-
ple, and It is further intended that
this revolution shall be effeced
with wadding made from the Aus
tralian ballot rather than from a bull
let made from metal which may bet
ter be employed IN peaceful indus
trties than in the destruction OF
human life.
Wishing you all the happiest
fourth of July you ever experience
ed in all your lives, / am,
