as remarkable for the different
views expressed, by their writer's,
as for the number and variety Of
the letters written AS a rule
the letters written by men are
equally divided in sentiment, be-
tween the plaintiff aud defendant,
while those written by women are
uniformly in sympathy with the wo-
man. That a woman is enabled, by
reason of the intuitive faculty of
her sex to see more deeply and
clearly than man, in matters where
in her own sex are involved there
can be no doubt. We are, there
fore, inclined to take the feminine
view, of this unfortunate affair,
which is expressed by one of their
number in the following bitter and
scathing terms:

SPEAKER CRISP.

In summing up the cause and
effect of Speaker Charles f. Crisp's
refusal to accept the Senatorial ap-
pointment rendered him by Gov.
Northern, of Georgia, a recent
writer, very appropriately says:
Speaker Crisp's decision to decline
the Secatorship is clearly in the in
terest of his party and the public
service. The personal sacrifice in
volved is very likely only temporary
while the avoidance of a reorgani-
zation of the House at this time is
of the highest Importance. Mr..
Crisp is nearer to being a leader OF
his party in the House than anybo-
dy else, and could not be spared at
present. No such emergency is
likely to arise in the near future,
as no party is likely to have ma
iority of 100, with a wild and ire
sponsible element all the while
threatening to make trouble,
Whatever else next falls election
may result in, they will certainly
cut down goodly proportion of the
fungus growths that have been or
namenting the congressional dung
hill for the past two sessions, Their
present propensity to mischief is
doubtless due to the consciousness
that it is their last chance, as the
place that now know them shall
speedily know them no more.

Said Jeweler Holderman, yesterday,
You can now purchase solid silverware
made up into forks, spoons, ETC., which
will weigh much more than the silver
money you pay for it. In other words,
you can buy silver with less silver than is
contained in your purchase notwithstand-
ing the fact that a certain amount of
labor has been put upon it to shape 1t into
forks, spoons, etc. Silverware was never
cheaper than It is to-day. Why, the prices
are so far down that it is almost folly to
buy plated ware, rs you can purchase the
sterling article for the same price In
Eastern houses all fiat ware is being sold
by the ounce. II you ask the prices of forks
or spoons the dealer does not name the
figure per dozen, but tells you that the
ware is so much per ounce. We are now
selling spoons which formerly sold for S12
a dozen for just one-half that price. Plates
and platers which are made of the best
grades of white metals must now compete
with solid silver goods, for their prices
are nearly the same. The fact of person
using solid silver upon his tablets now no
criterion of his circumstances, for it is
almost as cheap as any other"
