North Carolina will furnish Senator
in the next Congress who will prove a
worthy rival to PETER for the prize
for demagogic and blatherskite eloquence.
His name is Marian Butler, and he has
just given his constituents a taste of his
quality in a speech in which he said
"The man who puts party above princi-
pie is the best tool the gold bugs have
and the devil never had better servant
than the gold bug. Every bond this
government owes England or any other
country or individual is payable in gold
or silver at the option of the government
and it says so on the face of the bond.
Yet Cleveland is going to England to get
gold when he could pay bonds in silver.
He does not pay them in silver because
he is hireling of the gold bugs /

The continued refusal of the French
authorities to give Ambassador Eustis
any information about the trial and con-
viction of ex-Consul Waller is inexplica-
BILE except upon the theory that any
truthful information on the subject
would be discreditable and would confirm
Mr.. Waller's allegation, that his trial was
farce and his conviction agreed upon
beforehand. If France had a good case
it would hasten to expose it and thereby
put an end to any interference on our
part, for the moment it is shown that
Waller had fair trial all right of our
government to interfere ceases.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF LIBERTY.

Mr.. EDTToR:-I am SO glad that you
have opened a column for boys and
girls. They ought to take advantage
of it and write a great deal. I am a
schoolboy eleven years old, and live in
Mecklenburg county. Charlotte, the
county seat, is a big town and I would
like to live there but for n thing
that is the political bitterness The
people of this county declared their in
dependence at Charlotte over a hun
dred years ago, but now that has all
passed. The birthplace of liberty did
not give a United States Senator, Sen
ator Butler and Mr.. Walter Henry
even freedom Of speech when they
attempted to make speeches in Char
Iotte some time ago. OF course they
spoke, but they were insu}ted and in
terrupted. I hope no boy who reads
your paper will ever be guilty of such
conduct. JAMES B. SLOAN.

HER COMPOSITION.

A little girl in Boston wrote a COM
position IN boys. Here it ia:
1.-The boy is not an animal, yet they
can be heard to a considerable dis
lance. When a boy hollers he opens
his big mouth like frogs, but girls hold
their tongue until they are spoke to,
and then they answer respectable and
tell just how it was. A boy thinks
himself clever because he can wade
where it is deep, but God made the
dry land for every living thing, and
rested on the seventh day. When the
boy grows up he is called a husband,
and then he stops wading and stays
out nights, but the grew up girl is a
widow and keeps house."

HINTS ON MENDING.

There is a ''just how" even in sew
ing on a shoe button. Uuse stout linen
thread, and although you double il
knot only one end of the thread to
avoid a clumsy knot, which might
hurt the foot; take three stitches to
each button, fasten with an ex9ra
stitch in the lining of the shoe, and go
on to the next button without cutting
the thread.
The double knees and heels of the
hOeier Of today are a boon to mothers,
but they will not altogether do away
with the necessity of darning. You
can, however, save a great deal of la
Dor of this kind by teaching your fam
lily to lay aside socks and boss as soon
as the tlniesJ hole begins to show itself
then, after the wash, if you will run

A GENUINE LOVE STORY.

This story was originally told by
Spurgeon: A young clergyman and
his bride were invited guests at a large
party given by a wealthy parishioner.
In all the freshness and elegance of the
bridal wardrobe the young wife shOne

her comeliness and vivacity and rich
attire; and when during the evening,
her young husband drew her aside and
whispered to her that che was the
and that his heart was bursting with
pride and love for her, she thought
herself the happiest wife in the world.
Ten years later the same husband
and wife we're guests at the same
house, where there gathered a similar
gay company. The wife of ten years
ago wore the same dress she had worn
on the previous occasion; and of
course, it had been altered and remade,

over his heart.
Looking up, she caught his earnest
