Could Not Find Maria

They were standing at the corner Of
Liberty street and Broadway and seemed
thoroughly lost IN the roar OF the trafic
and the busting crowd on the sidewalk

evident that this was their first visit to
the metropolis, and equally evident that
they were a newly welded pafr on their
honeymoon trip.
4 gentleman who had all the earmarks
OF a w an street broker also stood on the
corner, stopping for some reason not ap-

Some hours later the broker Jumped from
a cable car at Wall street to return to the
exchange, and saw him whilom country

studying the guide book with bullying eyes

when Maimie Married.

James Whitcomb Riley.
When Mamie married-Charley Brown!
JOY took possession of the town;
The young folks swarmed in happy
throngs-
They rang the bells, they caroled songs,
They carpeted the steps that led
Into the church where they were wed;
And up and down the altar stair
They scattered roses everywhere
When in her orange blossom crown,
Queen Mamie married Charley Brown.
So beautiful she was, it seemed
Men, looking on her, dreamed they
dreamed,
And he, the holy man who took
Her hand in his, so thrilled and shook
The gargoyles round the ceilings rim
Looked down and leered and grinned at
him
Until he half forgot his part
of sanctity and felt his heart
Beat woodward through his sacred gown
When Mamie married Charley Brown.
The bridesmaids kissed her left and right
Fond mothers Rugged her with delight
Young men of twenty-seYen were seen
To blush like lads of seventeen
The while they held her hand to quote
Such sentiments as poets wrote.
Yea. all the heads that homage bends
Were bowed to her-but, oh, my friends,
NV hopes went up-my heart went down.
When Mamie married Charley Brown.

How she Floor Him.

Mr.. Hall Game, whose recent statements
regarding the inferority of woman at
tracted some attention, has called down
upon his unlucky head a spirited reioinder
from John Strange Winter, (Mrs Stan
nard), says the Westminster Budget. In
the commencement of her literary career
Mrs. Stannard says in the Young Woman,
her father died. leaving the family with
out penny. She lived far from London
and had no friends to help her in the lit
erary world. Yet, before / was 30 my
name was known all over the English
speaking world. l have married, brought
children into the world ruled my house,
sold a million and half of books, kept
up an enormous circle of friends, helped
several charities and many strugglers
both in kind and in influence, have kept
my house better than most women, and
have a husband and children who worship
me and are never really happy unless in
my actual presence.
"On the other hand" Mrs. Stannard pro-
ceeds, you have Mr.. Hall Game, who is
a small, fragile man. who canot work in
London, who, by his own showing, is
thoroughly exhausted by the effort of
writing a single book bundle of nerves
and fancies. He began his literary career
with an enormous advantage over me. He
has wife to mind his house and to boil
ster him up when his nerves get too much
for him. l fail to see where his immense
superiority over me comes in

The State Senate and the Military.
Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-Sun Oem.).

If the members of the state Senate read
the Georgia newspapers, daily and week
ly, they know that the people of this state
do not approve the parsimonious manner
in which the lower House proposes to treat
the military. Cutting off the appropria-
tions is not only parsimonious, but it is
very discreditable proceeding. The Sen
ate has an opportunity to save not only
the Legislature, but the state from this
stigma, and should not hesitate to use its
power to do so. 1t may amend the House
appropriation bill by adding a reasonable
and proper allowance for the military and
then stand by its guns. In that fight they
will have the approval and support of a
great majority of the people.

The Party's Opportunity.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem

The democrats in the Fifty-third con-
gress, in its extra and regular sessions, by
their discords and impracticable notions,
and interminable speech-making to no pur-
pose, did a vast deal toward turning the
tide of popular prejudice against the
Democratic party. They have now an OPP
portunity to redeem the party by wise, use
full and prompt legislation to reform the
currency and give the country a rest on
the tariff. 1t is to be hoped that some
thing good and serviceable will be yet
heard from the big democratic majority
before il shall cease to exist.

There is no political string tied to The
charity that Mr.. Nathan Straus dis
penscs in New York. He was recently the
victim of a combination of circumsta nces
that prevented him from being the mayor
of the city and probably gave a great
oackset to any political ambition he may
entertain. Nevertheless, his disappoint-
ment has had no effect upon his work for
the benefit of the poor On Monday last
he opened again his depot for the sale
of coal in small lots to poor people at
practically wholesale prices.

What Kolb Has Learned.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch Rep.).

Capt. .Kolb has lived long enough to dis
cover that, while he posed as a diSnified
martyr to the corrupt political systems
of Ala bama, he was an object of much
general sympathy, but when he turned
revolutionist the people dropped him as
no longer worthy of any degree of conf
dence. The lessons dealt out from time
to time to the individuals who attempt to
run things their own way have been
rather impressive of late, and in the long
run they are calculated to exert quite
wholesome influence.

the workers that the latter propose to
have their innings now.

Congressman Harter of Ohio regards
the democratic defeat as one of those
blessings that come in disguise. The dis
guise, by the way, is remarkable for its
completeness. Mr.. Harter, however, has
seen through it and recognizes the purport
Of the blessing to be to squeeze out of the
Democratic party those tiresome and
demagogic leaders who have been trying
to commit the party to all sorts of fool
schemes. The mercenaries in New York,
and the cranks in the west. Mr.. Harter

ship Tammany and make a ffty-cent dol

A Good Suggestion.

There is one clause in the inaugural mes
sage of Gov Evans of South Carolina
that we heartily commend 1t is that in
which he says that the greatest proper
ton of the time of the general assembly
is taken up in chartering all manner of
wild cat schemes and country villages
and school districts. He thinks there
should be a general law under which all
such charters could be obtained, and he is
right. The legislature costs the state a
good deal of money each day it is in ses-
sion, and it is the hight of folly that it's
time should be wasted in legislating in
respect to matters that could be covered by
a general law just as well as not.
In fact, general law would be very ad-
vantageous in other ways than saving
money to the state. County commissioners
and town councils could do under a general
law many things the Legislature is required
to DO, and they could do them more salts
factorily than the legislature does them.
because they are in a position to know
what ought to be done.
We have for years tried to get the legis-
lature of this state to pass just such gen.
eral laws as are favored by the South Car
olina governor, but the legislature per-
sists in sticking to the old way of doing
things for the reason apparently that it
is afraid if it yields the privilege of legis-
lating in respect to local affairs it will not
have enough to do to justify it in remain
ing in session the full time allowed by
law. 1t is regretable that there is no re-
former in our legislature who has the in
clination to make thorough study of
this question, and propose measures that
would relieve the legislature of the trihing
time. If such reform as suggested were
adopted the legislature would not cost the
state more than half what it does.

A peculiar instance of careless law
building has come to light in Kansas.
The constitution provides that the gov
ernor shall be inaugurated on the second
Monday in January and that the legisla-
ture shall be convened on the second Tues
day in January. 1t is manifestly the inten-
ton that the governor shall be inugurated
the day preceding that upon which the
legislature is convened. But it trans
pires that the second Tuesday in Janu-
airy next will precede the second Mon
day by one week, instead of following it.
The result will be that Lewelling, the
populist governor. will hold over for one
week longer than the constitution con-
templates that he should; and in the
meantime he may fill the appointive offices
with populists. This possibility is giv-
ing the republicans of Kansas some u!i-
easiness.

The sensation in art and society circles
seven or eight years ago was a wonderful
peachblow vase that was sold at auc-
ton in New York for $4,000. For year
thereafter peachblow was the fashiona-
BILE color, and peachblow ceramics were
the fad. 1t was understood that the or
ignal, high-priced vase was purchased for
Mr.. w. T. Walter, the Baltimore collector
who died last week. But if it was pur-
chased for Mr.. Walter, it is not now in his
collection. Diligent search has failed to
ind it, and art experts can discover no
trace Of it, either in Mr.. Walters collec-
ton or any other. Since the whereabouts
OF the piece has come into question no.
BODY can be found who has laid eyes upon
since the day it was sold, and it is
by no means certain that Mr.. Walter was
the purchaser. Its disappearance is a
mystery. 1t cannot be imagined why any

the Senate must adopt some rule for limit

1t appears that a New York man has
taken a mean advantage of a friend and
subscriber of ours who lives up on the
line of the Charleston and Savannah rail-
way. A day or two after the Quantico
train robbery our friend and subscriber
wrote out and we published a long de-
scription of a plan to beat would-be
train robbers with jets of scalding steam.
The general idea was not new. 1t had been
suggested before, but nobody else in
probably ten or twelve years had gone to
the trouble to figure out and publish just
where every steam cock should be located
for the purpose of best cooking the pros
pective robbers before they could get
away. Our friend and subscriber did all
of this; and now a measly New Yorker
has gone to work and patented the whole
scheme, including the rubber joints be-
tween cars. This. however. is the usual
fate of genius that gives itself away
through the newspapers.

Those democratic senators and repre-

ously embarrass congress in its efforts
to do good work during the short ses-

on the part of some of these hobby-riders
to force their wooden steeds over every
thing else, in anticipation of the COM
ing of the time when the democrats will
not control congress. The meeting of the
democratic senatorial caucus on Tuesday
was little more than hobby horse show.
