Fixing Hauner.

The circuit rider for a mountain district in
West Virginia was stopping for day or two at
the place where he was to preach on Sunday,
and to him a mountaineer came with a buxom
mountain maid and wanted to be married then
and there.
where's your llcense?" asked the minister.
The man was surprised, says the Detroit free
Press.
"Ain't got none he said. 1--WE don't have
TO have no license, do wey We amt a-goin' to
sell liquor"
That was all the license he knew about. The
minister explained to him and he rode away ten
miles 70 the county seat, and later in the day
appeared with the license.
That cost me dollar, mister" he said rue
fully. 'Do you charge anythingY'
You can pay me whatever you please, but
never charge less than a dollar"
We'll, I've only got half dollar, mister, and
won't git the balance till after harvest"
The minister hesitated because he thought
the mountaineer was trying to beat him, and
while he was willing to perform the ceremony
gratis, he did't want to cut prices. All at once
the mountaIneer put in:
I've got it, mister" he exclaimed, showing
the half dollar at him" Here's BALI yer price.
Now you marry Hammer to me, There amt
anybody Twin that l want but Hammer, and
Hammer kinder bankers fer whole passle OF
fellers that is better lookin' than l am but
amt so well off; so il you get her fixed you
needn't worry about me at all Take yer half
dollar an go ahead on Hammer. You can fix
me after harvest, an Iii give t'other half when
the jobs done"
However the minister couldn't see his way
clear that way, and he completed the Job then
and waited until after harvest for his fee,

James 8. Clarkson is regarded in certain
quarters as the coming man In the Repub-
lican party. 1t will be remembered that a
short while ago scheme to star" him on
tour around the world, as preliminary to
making him that party's candidate for the
presidency In 1885, was talked OF and ex-
planned In the papers. Some of the Oldest
and most astute leaders of the party were
named as his hackers. With these facts in
mind, Clarkson's recent attack on Harrison
for naming democrat to succeed Lamar Is
not at all strange; it is In line with Clark
sons policy. He attempts to take high re-
publican ground 10 his criticism, dwelling
on the states rights proclivities of Judge
jackson as being Ia opposition Co the
American" policy of the Republican party,
which he thinks should obtain in this gov
ernment. But Clsrkson is demagogic in
his criticism. His purpose reaches no
further than the advancement Of himself or
his political clique at the expense of the
outgoing chief executive. II he can, by
nothing, decrease the strength Of the Harri-
son following, then Harrison may be
dropped as a possibility for 1896 and Clark
son taken up-that is the milk In the cocoa-
nut. But the very fact that Clsrkson has
adversely criticised the sppointee and the
appointer is an excellent reason why the
nomination of Judge jackson should give
satisfaction 10 conservative republicans and
democrats alike and be confirmed.

The inquiry into the American end" Of
the Panama scandal, which was scheduled
to begin yesterday in Washington, will be
watched with interest by all the world, and
with especial interest by this country. There
are several millions Of francs said to have
been sent TO America, to be accounted for.
A French government accountant, who re-
Gently went over the books of the canal
company, place the amount at a., OO0, 900
francs, and it is alleged that half of the
amount found a resting place in New York
Ex-Secretary Richard w. Thompson, who
had the management of the company's in
terests in this country, has explained where
only small portion of the total amount
went. 1t is said in Paris that his explana-
ton is good enough, as far as it goes, but
does not go far enough There have been
hints OF corruption in high places among gov
eminent officers in this country. but so far
nothing definite upon which TO found such
hints has been made public The investiga-
ton should be most thorough, and if there
has been bribery and fraud in the matter in
this country, the public ought to know 1t.

An interesting story Of the Homestead
strike, Whitelaw Reid7s candidacy for Vice
President and Andrew Carnegie's emphatic
''No" has come to light through a New York
letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
story goes on to say that the republican
managers, realizing that the continuance Of
the strike was playing havoc with the
chance Of republican success, iucubated a
bold scheme for its settlement. 1t was to
refer the difficulties pending TO board of
three as board Of arbitration. The head
of this board was to be Whitelaw Reid.
The hope was that IL would reach
a satisfactory result, and, as a sequence. the
Republican party would reap the benefit of
the adjustment because Of the illustrious
board of arbitration. But MIR. Carnegie
said ''No," aud said it in such forceful Ian
guage that it almost took the breath of the
men engineering the thing. And thus 1t
happens that Mr.. Reid does not love Mr.
Carnegie any more.

The Feminine Heart Trouble.

There is a young man who resides on the Di.
vide and a young lady who lives in Gold Hill.
The young man has been paying attentions to the
young lady, says the Virginia (Nev) Enterprise.
They reached that point in courtship when
loves young dream exchanges presents He
thing TO give him. Thew were going to closely
observe what the other did with the present in
order to estimate each others love. She gave
her present first, and he very carefully wrapped
it in a silk handkerchief and deposited it IN the
ample folds of his coat-tail pocket. Not a
movement passed unobserved. Then in his
very best style he passed over bis present.
What will you do with it, dear?" he asked,
as she stood musingiY by.
II will wait until bustles and panniers are
again in STYLE when l will find uses for it." she
said.
II that young man had deposited his sweet.

vest he would not now feel so lonesome as he
takes his evening walks on the Ophir grade.

An Old Landmark.

The announcement was made in our dis
patches Sunday that the New York hotel,
the stopping place in New York for south
erners for 80 many years. had been sold
and would soon be pulled down. Il has
been the favorite stopping place Of south-
erners when in New Y ork for many years
During the exciting period just prior to the
war it was the New York home Of almost
every southern man Of note, and after the
war the southern people continued to
patronize it. During the war
the great majority Of the guests
were either southern people or those who
sympathized with the south. Hiram Gran
ston who took the house in 1854. and who
gave IL up only when it went into the hands
| Of a receiver about a year ago, sympathized
with the south in the civil struggle, an6
many southern men remember with graft
tude the generous way in which he helped
them when they needed help greatly.
The house was built In 1915, mob for a
hotel, but as a fashionable and private
home. 1t was on the limits OF the built up
portion Of the city. Beyond it there were
few suburban residences. Toward Madi-
son square there was common noticeable
| only for its sand hills. and what is now
Washington square was the pauper burying
| ground.
During the last few years many people
patronized the hotel because of the assocla-
tions connected with it. It's sanitary con-
dition was not thought to be good, and at
times well founded complaints Of the table
were made. The announcement that its
days are numbered, however, will not be
heard without feelings of regret by thou
sands who have spent happy hours within
its hospitable doors.

The Saint and the Sinner.

Mdgdeline S. Briggs in Ladies' Home Journal
Heartworn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toilinR at
Seemed pitiful task for such as she.
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor.
While the bells OF the Sabbath day rang sweet,
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played, and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came
When, 10, on the threshold stone there slept
priestly figure and named her name:
what shrift in this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling, and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray?
Woman why are you toiling here?'
Like one in dream she answered low:
Father, my days are work days all;
know no Sabbath. dare not go
Where beautiful bells ring out and call;
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place?
pray in silence, and try TO think,
For Gods love can listen and give ne grace "
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest;
And a tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work-worn hands to her bosom pressed:
30 saint thrice blessed, mount thou on highr'
He heard the welcoming angels say.
And meekly, gently. she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

England,s sugar Islands.

From the NeiU York Tribune CRep.).
England has not made so marked a success in
governing the sugar islands of the West Indies
as to justify any claim upon Hawaii. Before it
seeks to acquire sugar islands in the Pacific il
ought 20 reveal more capacity than it has yet
shown in governing Jamaica and the Lesser
Antilles Its islands in that quarter are not
prosperous. British policy has nearly emptied
them of their white population, and has done
very little to improve the condition of swarms
Of impoverished blacks.
