than drop to the discount on Mexican

more silver in it than our silver dollar,

day, | stand by what said then and
could in further discussion of the

The delegates were very slow in
getting to order and twas 6 o'clock
when Gen. Johnson Hagood took
charge of the caucus. 1t was soon
developed that the caucus was cx-
ceedingly deliberative. About the
first resolution introduced, so far
as could be heard on the outside,
was one by Editor Williams, who
proposed that the executive COM
mittee be empowered to name a
candidate for Governor two weeks
in advance of The election. His
resolution did not favor anything
other than the nomination of a
Governor. The resolution was
voted down on division, and Mr..

ROBBING IN EDITOR.

ROBBING IN EC}TOlS.
"Listen, my children" said a
venerable man, "and I will tell you
a story, beautiful and true. Once
upon O. time there was bad bold
robber, who had his haunt in the
wilds of a mountain. At the foot
of the mountain, in the valley, was
a village. It was not very large,
yet in it a newspaper was printed.
The robber looked upon the editor
of the newspaper as being the
chief man of the village, and
thought he must be very rich. So
one dark night he came Gown
from his den in the mountain and
stole into the dwelling of the editor
and then into the room where he
slept. The editor, being a good
man, slept as soundly as
a child. The robber searched all
the place, but could not find the
caskets of gold and diamonds he
had supposed to be stored up in
the room. He then put his hand
in all the pockets Of the editor, but
found no money il any of them.
The robber then stood for & time
as in stupor. He was like one
awakened from q dream. He lis
tened for some moments to the
deep, regular breathing Of the
sleeping editor, and as he stood go
be began to feel sad. The heart of
the bold, bad man was touched.
Quietly he took from his purse
$4.75, placed the money in the
pantaloons pocket Of the editor,
and softly stole from the house. In
the morning when the editor got
up and put on his pantaloons there
was a jingle as of money. A look
of astonishment came into the face
of the editor. He put his hand
into his pocket and drew out The
money. When be saw this great
wealth the knees of the editor
smote together; he turned pale,
tainted, and fell to the floor, and
There lay as one dead.
did they catch the robber,
grandfather"
"No, my darlings, they didn't
want to catch him. But when the
editor came out of his faint. and
his eyes again saw all the money
lying about the room where it had
fallen, he was sorely perplexed.
At last he felt sure it had been
quietly placed in his pocket in The
night by great and rich nejghbor,
who owned a lanyard and was run
ming for the legislature. So 9or
days and days he printed in his
paper whole columns of praise of
the rich neighbor, who was elected
to the Office, and ever after the two
men were the greatest friends.
Thus, my dears, do good actions
always meet their reward"
