A Fine Compliment.

lot of show people were sitting around
one evening, swapping experiences, says
the Detroit Free Press.
The finest compliment ever had paid
me, said famous ballad singer, was
by Gen. Grant. You know he was not
very fond of music, and once, when we
happened to be stopping in the same hotel
for a night, and after the performance, /
was asked to sing for him. I did not feel
very much like complying. In fact, 1 re-
fused him at first, because I had heard
that music bored him dreadfully, and he
only agreed to hear me because the COM
mtttee that was entertaining him in
cluded me in the attractions. About mid
night, in the parlor of the hotel I met
the general, and shortly afterwards 1 sat
down to the piano to play my own accom-
paniment to a simple ballad had selected.
The general sat near the piano, and kept
my eye on him so that I could see If he
was going to be tired, and if so / was 60
ing to quit as short as I could reasonably
do. As l sang, however, I became inter-
ested in the melody and forgot the gen.
eral and sang straight through to the end.
Then as the last strain died away, the
general rose suddenly, and as he brushed
his hand across his eyes, he said: Con-
found your music and walked away, 1t
was not quite what expected, but it was
the greatest compliment he could have
paid me, and I told him so, when later he
came and apologized for having spoken
as he did "

Lamar and Cnnklinr-

An entire Sunday edition, says the New
Orleans Picayune might be filed with
stories connected with the late Judge L.
Q. c. Lamar. Mr.. Lamar possessed a re-
marka bic popularity. Unusual excite
ment seemed to act upon his nerves like
an opiate and put him to sleep. This was
strongly exemplified after his remarka-
Ole verbal encounter with the great New
Yorker, Mr.. Conklng. Mr.. Lamar, after
scarifying Conkling for life ana leaving
him with burning yet deferential re-
sentiment, closed as follows:
I apologize to the Senate for this seem
ingly parliamentary language (advan-
eng on the New Yorker and throwing his
index finger full in his face, language
that no man, good man, deserves, and no
Lamar walked to the cloakroom on the
democratic side, lay down on sofa, and
in three minutes was sleeping as calmly
as babe: There was great excitement.
1t was believed Mr. Conkling would not
submit to the language applied TO him,
and that while he probably would not
challenge Lamar, being an athlete, he
would meet him on the streets and as
sault him. The late Senator Zeb Vance,
Hercules in stature, who was devoted
to Mr.. Lamar, without the knowledge Of
that gentleman or of any other human
being, Swallowed Mr.. Lamar for some
days, explaining afterward that II Conk-
ling ever struck Lamar he intended to
beat him to death. Mr.. Vance, however,
did not know what those intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Lamar knew. In al
probability, Mr.. Lamr could have whip
ped them both. He prided himself upon
MS muscle ana mas OFTEN SAID 10 the
writer, 4 believe l am better fitted for

1t was apprehended by some that Conk
ling would challenge Mr.. Lamar. Conk-
ling was known to be an expert with the
short sword. Mr.. Lamar said afterward
to an intimate friend in discussing the
matter: IF Mr.. Conkling had sent me
challenge l should have chosen short
swords"
why. Mr.. Lamar" replied his friend,
"Conkling is an expert with the short
sword"
Il know that" replied the senator, but
I took some lessons with the short sword
myself when'I was in Paris the time that
was sent by the confederacy on a mis-
sion to Russia"

A nobleman was expected at the mansion
and the housckeeper called together the
retainers to tell them how to address the
coming guest.
III his lordship speaks 10 you, you must
always say your grace.
The unsophisticated girl knew Of but
one grace, and that the one said by her
father before dinner. Next morning as
she tripped upstairs, she met the august
visitor.

How Would the People Get the Silver ?
From the New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)

Under free coinage silver will not be
made into money for the benefit of the
government, but for that of the owners
of the metal. When any person owns sill
yer bullion which he wishes coined into
money, he will simply have to carry il to
the mint, where ii will be coined and
handed back to him, after the deduction
for the seigniorage and other charges for
minting. Under such a system the gov
eminent will not purchase silver. as was
done under the Sherman law. and, there
fore, none of the free coinage silver will
90 into the treasury, and, by consequence,
the government will have nothing to do
with the manner of it's distribution. How,
then, is there to be any general and large
diffusion of this money among the people?
Plainly, no law that congress can enact
could require private owners Of dollars
to hand them out to poor people, and from
this II will be seen that the free coinage
of silver can have no direct effect to in
crease the amount of money in circula-
ton so as TO bring it up to the demands
of the popullsts.

The Fair Freiehts Issue.

The Charleston News and Courier COM
mends the step taken by President Purse
Of the Board of Trade in asking the in
terstate commerce commission to come
to Savannah and hear the complaints of
her merchants against the railroads. The
News and Courier thinks that is one of
the ways for the South Atlantic ports TO
get rid of the freight Determinations
against them, 1t takes the position that
the South Atlantic ports have nothing
to hope for from the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association. Commenting
on the association. It says THE asso-
citation has sought refuge behind every
technical barrier that could be devised.
and after three months Of hard campaign
ing, the South Atlantic ports find them
selves more completely than ever at the
mercy Of a close combine which is sappinR
the life out Of them for the benefit Of the
Virginia ports. They have tried to ao-
complish their just purposes by ordinary
means only TO be treated with contempt.
and now they must adopt more effective
measures"
The News and Courier advises that the
legislatures be appealed TO for the pur-
pose Of bringing the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association 10 its senses.
and expresses the opinion that the South
Carolina legislature can be depended upon
TO adopt measures that will regulate the
business Of the association" IN that state.
II is very clear that the South Atlantic
ports will gain nothing by appeals to tho
railroads or the Southern Railway and
| Steamship Association. The dlscrimina.

Harriet p. Spofford. in Harpers Baza1
Though flame and spice and flower
Are fallen and dead,
Yet mantling all the sphere
OF fragrance fed
Some unknown country's airs
Strange sweetness shed,
And tullness of content
Broods overhead.
For far afield the soul
In quiet goes
Where wrapt in azure bloom
The distance CLOVIS,
Where redder droops the leaf
Than any rose,
And softer than the west
The south wind blows.
Down dim depths drops the moon
His golden barque-
And If the mist comes chill
The night comes dark,
The great sky has no star,
The hill no spark,
Yet from the outer vast
What music, bark!

bounty or high tariff blast on McKinlcy's

The First Congressional District.

Are the democrats Of the First
congressional district doing what
they can to get out full
democratic vote at the congressional
election? Are they talking TO their demo-
cratic neishbors and friends who are in
different about voting. and trying to in
duce them TO make up their minds to
vote? II not. why not?
It seems to us that every democrat has
a special duty to perform at this election.
II is 10 make a special effort to get cut a
full democratic vote.
No note Of dissatisfaction with Col
Lester is heard from democrats. Even the
populists admit he makes an excellent con-
gresham. He has worked faithfully ard
increasingly for his district, and for the
promotion of democratic principles. Why
not then re-elect him by majority that
would make him feel that his work is
appreciated?
The populists are active and agrees
sive. They want to defeat Col. Lester, not
because they think their candidate is as
fit man to represent the district as Col.
Lester, but because of their hostility to
the Democratic party. And they will have
the help Of many of the republicans in all
the counties except Chatham, because it
is the policy of the national republican
party to make the most of every oppor-
tunity to defeat the Democratic party In
Chatham county the republicans have so
high an appreciation OF what Col Lester
has done for the district, and of his ability
to render it still further services, that
very few are likely to vote against him.
indeed, the more thoughtful of them may
vote for him.
Shall the populists and their republican
allies have the satisfaction of saying that
they cut down the majority Col. Lester re-
ceived two years ago? They should not
have. and they will not have if the dems-
Gratis of the district do their whole duty
The election is close at hand Now is the
time to do effective work. Let it be under
stood that every democrat in the district
who is likely to remain away from the
polls on election day will be called upon
during the present week. and urged to
cast his ballot for Col Lester If there is
work of that kind the populist candidate
will be beaten "out of sight"
