Thu Ariel ouartette. on Wednesds

The Ariel Quartette, on Wednesday
evening, furnished some Of the most
delightful vocal music ever heard in
GreeRville. Very unfortunately the
night was cold and windy, and the at
tendance not nearly 60 large as the
admirable attraction deserved. The
Quartette came to Grecnville almost
unheralded, modestly declining to ad-
vertise themselves by Haunting posters
or fulsome newspaper notices. Once
heard, however, their hearers will
neet! no outside inducement to make
them wish for o repetition Of the
plem ,ure. The four ladies composing
the Quartette are very fair to look
upon and their stage manner and ap-
peari .nce is distinguished by q mod
esty ,.nd graceful dignity which cap
tured their audience at sight. With
the fin st bell-like notes of wonderfully
blentis d harmony the approval Of the
audi erlce grew into enthusiasm, and
each number was welcomed with ap-
plau 90 both loud and long continued.
Each singer Is an artist in her register.
The soprano of Miss Carpenter is
pow erful, sweet, and clear as crystal
Miss Hclt possesses mezzo voice ol
very unusual compass and her method
Is p, ,rfect. Perhaps the most remark.
able voice Is that Of Miss Foster. III

The example of bomb thrower Val
liant has not deferred bis followers
from walking in his bloody footsteps.
On February 18th Que of these enemies
of mankind deliberately threw bomb
into a crowded cafe In the city Of Paris,
killing and wounding about score Of
defenseless and unsuspectipg people.
Such cases as this call for prompter
and harsher measures than legal
trial and execution, where the con.
demned goes to death crowned with
the glorification and envy Of bis dis
cased and drunken imitators. It is
with a very strong fellow feeling that
we read of the desire of the Parislans
to lynch the author of this last out
rage. 1t is probable that such swift
aud ignomlnlous fate would be more
effectual Encouragement TO anarchy
and the braln-sick army of cranks than
any pompous procedure of law with
its attendant notorlety and dangerous
posing of the criminal as the apostle
and martyr Of bis detestable cause.

The village of Beauregard was again
visited, on the night of the 18th, by q
most destructive cyclone, seriously in
juring many persons, and doing great
damage TO property. Severe storms
are reported at the same time from
various points in East and South Mis-.
sissippi, being the effects of the great
storm which has ragged throughout
the North with destructive violence
unsurpassed since the famous blizzard
of 1883. The Delta, happily, has es-
capped with nothing worse than snap
of disagreeable weather, with a little
ice, aud small snow on Wednesday,
which melted as 1t touched the earth.

GLADSTONE.

Rumors are rife concerning the ap-
proachipg resignation Of Premier G lad
stone. These reports are not yet con-
firmed by any official utterances, but
the extreme age and undeniably in
creasing infirmity of the premier make
their truth probable. II Is case preg-
nant with moral reflections on the
shortness of even the most extended
human life and sphere of influence.
No man of modern times has for 40
long period figured In the destinies OF
q nation and influenced human thought
as has Me- Gladstone. IL is hard to lay
down the well-worn honors which
crown that venerable head, and to fill
with the dust of the grave the ears
which have so long listened to the
worlds applause. 1t is probable that
the career Of the grand old man Is
near lis close; but he has won name
in history which will live long after
his tomb has crumbled away.
1t seems hard that such q life should
end without the triumph of the cause
for which Its most arduous work was
done. But the defeat Of the Home
Rule Bill was simply inevitable. Utter.
ly inconsistent with imperialism and
bitterly opposed by the resistless
weight of English sentiment, II was
detective statesmanship to undertake
Its enactment. But oil that human
effort could do to make the dream oil
Ireland and the tactics of Parnell re.
ality has been done. Mr.. Gladstone
plunged into the struggle TO attain the
success of this measure with the ardor
of youth and sustained 1t at the cost
of the vitality of age. If he retires be
leaves bis favoritc work incomplete
and the cause of Ireland as far from
Its goal as when be championed 1t first
But although the great question ol
irish homo rule will not be won
in Gladstone's day, his life has been
rich In the production Of English his
tory. His victories have been princi-
pally those of peace, but no less re-
nowned than many won with fire and
blood aud cannon on the battlefield
Contemporary thought never writes
history. 1t is TO coming generations
that the place of Gladstone in the
worlds galaxy Of ilustrious names
must be left, but it needs no prescience
10 foresee that IL will be among the
highest. If life and fame are worth the
living and tho winning, this must be
his consolation in laying down the
sceptre. In the vague vastness thu /.
lies so close before him his enlary et
spirit may smile at the paltry gle ,rie
while the frail body Is insensih'le t.
praise or blame, his dust unpro.oket
by the voice Of honor, and lis ear
unsoo.hed by 1attery.

An INVITATION.


oklahoma has the worst blizzard
ever known, and settlers are suffering
norribly.'-Dispatch of Feb. 18th in
Vieksburg Post.
This is the same old story. IL serves
the settlers right. Why didn't they
come to the Yazoo Delta? Every
body has some conception of North
western blizzard, though happily our
knowledge of the reality is of the very
faintest. Sometimes, when tho bliz-
yards of the Northwest are extraordi-
narily outrageous, as in the present
instance, we get hint of them here.
The storm which caused the unhappy
Oklahomaitcs 10 "suffcr horribly" msds
our peach trees change their minds
about blooming, and nipped The straw
berry blossoms that had come out too
previously. On the morning of the
18th there was skim of ice on the
puddles, and the ground wss 50 nearly
frozen that one could almost walk on
1t without getting his shoes muddy.
Men buttoned up their overcoats, and
remembered to put their gloves on.
The thermometer went down to 80
degrees, from temperature of 55 on
Sunday. Spring vegs:ation was start
ing, and all the early flowers and
leaves were struck with panic. Only
the violets were hardy enough to con
tinue blooming. 1t was hard Oh the
little chickens, too, and the old hens
had a good deal of work to do to keep
them warm.
Such, o ye who are suffering hor-
rlbly" In Oklahoma, was our "bliz-
zard." Suppose, instead Of that mad
rush into the bare desert, you had
come TO this peaceful land of plenty
Instead of croucbing, starved and
frozen in your dugouts, and sending
out lamentations to the world over
the results of your own folly, you
might have been In the possession Of
comfortable homes In land where nc
man can freeze or starve; where
Nature Is so kind that human suffer,
ing is unknown, except from the mos
fragrant and wilful causes, and where
food and fuel are so much a matter o,
course that their preciousness is never
realized. II the Oklahoma sufferer,
live through their blizzard let then
mount their prairie schooners ant
come down to spend the next winter
with us, where the cyclones cease from
troubling aud the billiards are at rest

A resource Of Southern wealth and
business activity that is little known
is the industry Of gold mining. 1t is
no new discovery. The existence of
the precious metal In the Carohnss
and Georgia-possibly throughout the
extent of the Appalachian range-was
known long before the famous gold
fever Of 40 turned the attention Of
the world to the Pacific slope, and the
subsequent. discoveries in Australia
carried q flood OF emigrsnts to that
far-off land. The pursuit of gold
mining had been carried on successful
ly in North Carolina for years before
this time, but the discovery of the far
richer fields of California caused those
of the East to be temporarily forgot
ten aud neglected while the mountains
and rivers Of the West were yielding
their marvellous harvest. In recent
years The less productive, but still
highly satisfactory miues of the South.
eastern region, have again attracted
attention, and are being developed
with great success, promising a great
increase in the production as improved
methods are brought into use aud new
discoveries made. No effort has been
made as yet to draw general attention
to this new, or rather resumed, indus.
try Of the South, but it is one which
in view of the present eagerness of the
world for gold, is destined at no dis
tant time to become Que of the most
prominent factors in the prosperity
and Importance OF the country.

her Of his taking off. Finally all the papers arrived, and tho couple repaired ono day with their friends and witnesses to the offico of the legal functionary in whose hands their happiness reposed.
 Tho legal functionary. of course, had witnesses on his side. Tho Germans never transact any business exeept in the presence of witnesses If you qusl- rel with tho Tuard on q railway train, ho immediately summons another guard, not to settle the dispato, but to witness it. They put their two solemn heads to- gether, shake them at each other and at you, make eopious notes of the facts and finally tako themselves off. This bridal couple and friends woro silently surveyed by the band of witnesses. Then the brilo was placed i'll ono chair and the bridegroom ill another at 8 TO- spectful distance. Tho papers were pro- duced Tho bride told all about herself, and the bridegroom told all about him self, and the friends and witnesses told all about both of them. The mother of the bride assured tho assembled com
 
 defrauding her Of her daughter. The company began to breathe more freely. The bridegroom heaved sigh of relief. Tho tired bride moved in her chair wearily But the legal functionary was not going to let them off so easily. He shook his head over tho papers, pursed up his lips and then turned on the whole crowd and asked them fiercely for their passports Of course no ono had such thing about him, so tho faded bridegroom had to rush off i'll a drosky to secure as many as were necessary.
 Meantime a German couple appeared Their papers, of course, were all right Tho German bridegroom took possession of the American bridegroom's $ vacant chair. and tho American bride, who, by this time, was almost i'll tears, yielded her seat to the German bride By the time they had been safely launched upon the sea of married life the passports had been found, and he Americans again took the chairs and were finally made man and wife, to the satisfaction of the legal funetionary, themselves and their friends.
 That wasn't all, of course. They had to rush off, after the legal funetionary s fee had been paid, to do honor to the ordinary conventionalities, array them selves in festal robes and be married again by a minister who spoke the Eng fish tongue, shake hands with their 800 friends and catch the first train for Egypt.

Whom he reached his house, some fresh red popcorn root was procured, and with the milky juice which exudes fom it a stripe was made around his leg just be- low the knee.

itoI Used by Him.
 Ii the wing of tho capitol devoted to the needs of the senate two of the hand somest rooms are set aside for the use of the president and tho vice president of the United States. The president s room is naturally put to very little use, while the vice presidents is rarely un- occupied
 This room is to be found at the end of the senate lobby. It is q large, square room, with succeed ceiling and tinted walls, furnished with all ecru tinted carpet, several large chairs, two tables, an office desk and large sofa.
 The fireplace--a hugo, old fashioned affair for tho burning of wood-with its handsome brass fender and accompany ing shovel, tongs and poker, is shut in by q glass fire screen. The retiring vice president is permitted to take with him as souvenirs the brass fro tools.
 There is another bit of floor furniture in the room i'll the shape of a small safe, which is used as repository for the electoral votes as tho sealed packages como from tho various states after each presidential election Here they must stay until wanted for counting by the house of representatives. During this time the safe is continually watched by two officers detailed from tho capitol police force, and the combination on which the lock is set is known only to the vice president
 Among the wall adornments is a painting of George Washington by Rembrandt Peale. There is legend to the effect that when sitting for this DOT trait in 1796 Washington stuffed cotton into his cheeks in lieu of the false teeth he so greatly needed
 Most of the relics of former vice presi- dents have been relegated to little anteroom now used for toilet purposes Among them is the mirror 3 E feet long by E wide bought by the senate for the use of John Adams. Both frame and glass are of very poor material, but 1t cost when purchased $40 and was the subject of serious controversy ill the senate.
