White Supremacy.

The Constitutional convention held
in South Carolina last week was very
exciting. The new constitution will
provide that any person aggrieved shall
have remedy by direct appeal to the
courts, leaving to the Legislature to pro-
vide the manner of holding and con-
Quoting elections. Gov. Evans in re-
gard to the same says:
81 am satisfied it will be q great mistake
to put the two mill school tax in the consti
tuition. The time will come when the ma
tional government will seek to interfere in
the school question as well as the suffrage,
as the two are necessarily inseparable. And
no one can tell to what expedient 1T will be
necessary to resort in this event. The peo
pie should be allowed to govern themselves
in this particular.
81 believe there is a possibility of obtain
ing suffrage for women in municipal school
and property elections, but see no reason
if that is done, why they should not be given
full and free suffrage equal to men,"
In regard to the suffrage question Mr..
Talbert, vice president of the conven-
ton, said:
"White supremacy must be ensured by all
means. This is white mans government
white mans country and white men should
rule it. Before the tread of the white man
the wild Indian, the cunning Asiatic and the
ferocious African alike must recede.
God Almighty never intended that the
black bird or the crow should ever soar VI
to the mountain top where the white eagle
alone builds her nest and rears her brood"

Peary Returns.

The relief steamer, Kite, sent to the
aid of Lieut.. Peary aud his companions
who spent the past year in the vicinity
of Greenland in Arctic explorations has
returned. The work of the expedition
is believed to be unimportant. The
Kite reached Peary's headquarters Au-
gust and started to return Sept mbe1
1. They spent the intervening time in
the interests of the Greenland scien-
tifc expedition. Messrs. Dibits CHI,
Salisbury, Dyche, LeBoutillier and
Walsh, who were on board, surveyed
many miles of unknown coasts. They
also discovered two large meteorites
which they brought home, and an
other weighing 40 tons, which it was
impossible to take away. They also
found it impossible to bring home
Peary's house.
Many specimens Of deer, walrus and
northern animals and birds, flowers
and lichens were secured, but the cap
lures were not as extensive as had been
expected, owing to the time for eXplor-
ing being cut short in the hurry to re-
turn.

Russian Justice.

General Van Wahl, chief constable Of
the police of st. Petersburg, when he
was governor at Kiev, received a visit
one day from a poor woman, widow of
police agent who had fallen victim
to duty. For long time she had solic-
tied the pension which was due her.
The head of the police to whom she had
addressed her demand paid no attention
to her plea.
In her distress the widow went to
the governor and told him her story.
"Ah, yes, We'll see what can be
DONE" said General Wahl. "Sit down
there and write what tell you, point
ing to a writing table.
The widow took a seat and wrote
from the governors dictation long
supplication. Now address it, he
said "and wait for me in the next
ROOM"
A few minutes later the woman was
recalled, and the general gave into her
hands sealed letter. saying the while
to her, '"Take this letter to the head
constable, take care not to open it, and
come back to me as soon as you have a
reply"
A week afterward the woman appear
ed at the palace again. Her pension had
been granted, and she thanked the gov
ernor with joy.
''It is useless to thank me. I am moth
ing in the affair."" said he, and imme-
diately gave the following order:
1.-The head of the police at Kiev is
dismissed from his post and sent into
exile; the reason, because he granted a
demand after receiving sum of money
for so doing"
General Wahl had, unknown to the
woman, slipped into her letter a bank
note for 20 rubles, which accounted
for her supplication being granted

somewhat as follows:

He looked like mailman, with his
glaring eyes and unkempt hair.
"There is no glory in being killed by
a lunatic," thought the governor.
But he tried one more appeal.
"I am sorry for you" he said, IF
your mind is disordered. Here is $40
bill. Take it and go. Follow the coun-
try roads and get out Of the state and
try to lead better life. -
"Thanks!' sneered the robber.
Then, firmly grasping his knife, he
walked to the governors chair.
'Time f1ies,' he growled. Fix that
pardon, and fix it ID quick, and hand
me that $100w
His look was that of wild beast, and
a white froth stood on his lips.

tered.
"All right was the hasty reply.
"Here's the money, and now I'll fix the
pardon"

took out printed form partially filled
out.

tomorrow, he explained, land l had
several pardons filed out by my secre-
tary, with the great seal affixed, and all
that have to do is to put in your name
and sign my own.
In moment the blanks were filled,
and Red Rube had the precious docu-
ment in his pocket.
"Much obliged, governor" said he,
with a smile, "but you won't play any
tricks, will you?'
"Not if / can help it, was the answer
"I don't want you caught. l am the
last man in the world to make this bust
ness public. -
81 thought So" replied Rube. ''That
suits me- If you offer no reward, can
get away, and if they ever find out who
1 am when 1 get out west this pardon
will protect me. Walk to the door with
me, governor.
The other followed without word to
the back door of the hall.
"Goodby, old man, whispered Rube
"No tricks, you know
81 shall say nothing and offer no re-
ward,'' said the master of the mansion.
Red Rube disappeared in the darkness,
softly chuckling as he went.
''Pardoned by the governori' he kept
repeating to himself.
The governor locked the door and re-
turned to the library. All night long he
walked the floor, and it was not until
morning that he sought his bed after
a short talk with the servant who had
given up the key.
Fortunately for him, Red Rube was
never heard of again. If he had been
captured, the developments might have
been very sensational. Wallace P.

"Why, Tom, have you not been treat
ed kindly here?"
"Oh, yes, the treatment is all right,
but then I'm afraid of my health"
"How is that?''

Threats of Science.

Wonderful things are going to be
done by the development of synthetic
chemistry between now and the year
5000 if Professor Berthelot the French
savant, is to be believed. The food and
drink producing animals and vegetables
will not then be encouraged to exist for
human life, but food and drink will be
manufactured direct and to order by
man himself and served in highly con-
centrated tablets, vest pocket size.
A person may then carry about him
two or three table d'hote dinners COM
plete, from Blue Point oysters or Little
Neck CLANS to crackers, cheese and cof-
fee, tobacco and with all his wine and
cognac included This change will be
brought about, it is said, by the re-
markable progress being made in COM
pounding food and drink from their
constituent elements-oarbon, hydro
gen. oxygen and nitrogen. 1t has ad-
vanced so far already that the prepara-
tion of beefsteak from its elements is
assured, and nicotine, the essential prin-
ciple of tobacco, has been produced from
coal tar.
Life indeed would not be worth the
living should the professor have his
way. The ready made tablets of food
and drink would be horribly alike to
the eye, the taste and the understand
ing; eating and drinking would be pure
ly mechanical; good fellowship and wit
and imagination would depart and ex-
istence would be utterly material and
dull. Boston Globe.

Orchids For Cut Flowers.

So many beautiful flowers drop their
petals soon after cutting that they are
out Of favor with purchasers The ef-
forts of florists are generally in the di-
rection of introducing such flowers as
will hold their own for some time after
cutting 1t is possibly one of the lead
ing advantages of the carnation that it
lasts so long on the parlor table, and
this is found to be true with many spe-
cies of orchids which are coming into
favor for cutting purposes, quite as
much on account of this persistence as
on account of their rarity and sweetness.
In this closely related family the cypri-
pedium is found particularly valuable.
There arc not only persistence, sweetness
and curious features in the forms and
colors of the flowers but they also have
the long stems which enable the Ameri-
can florists to use them without the
necessity of lavishly stemming them.

JUDAISM AND HYGIENE.
Tho Mosaic Law Has Given the Hebrew
Race Vigor and Hardihood.

The Mosaic Law Has Given the Hebrew
Race Vigor and Hardihood.
1t is indeed not little singular that
Christianity, in taking from Judaism
it's highest spiritual conception, should
SO have slighted the wonderful body of
hygienic science which the Mosaic law
embodies. The explanation, however,
probably is that Christianity undertook
to deal with the matters supernatural,
while Judaism, whether ancient or mod
ern, is concerned only with mundane af-
fairs AS Lucien Wolf admits, Judaism
is really sort of positivism. Its aim
is the attainment of happiness in this
world, whereas Christianity is chiefly
concerned about happiness in the world
to come. But precisely because Judaism
agrees with Herbert Spencer, in relegat-
ing supernatural speculation to the
realm of the unknowable, the intensity
of its worldly philosophy is the greater.
The wisdom and energy of the Jews,
in fact, have been conferred for years
upon the enforcement and protection
of all their natural forces. And thus it
is that they anticipated the ripper results
of sanitary science, while still the hang
ing gardens of Babylon were worlds
wonder, and while, from the temple of
Belus, Chaldean priests charted the
heavens and calculated the occultations
of the stars This Mosaic law, so de-
spised of the gentiles, has given to tho
Hebrew race that vigor and hardihood
which have brought it safely again and
again through prosecutions that must
have rooted out weaker people, and to-
day, when the foremost savants of the
nineteenth century are painfully search
ing out the genesis of disease and labo-
riously devising remedies, the immuni-
ty of the Jews in the midst of pestilence
once more indicates the reason of their
survival and emphasizes the triumph Of
their sanitary system.
No other race has been willing to ac-
cept such a discipline, and no other race,
therefore, exhibits similar vitality and
exemption from epidemic diseases, Mod
ern teachers of hygiene insist always
upon the observance of system in these
matters, and they have reason, for the
Hebrew race is a pregnant example of
the power of hygienic and dietary laws,
applied with unremitting vigor from
generation to generation. Minneapolis

JAPANESE HAIRDRESSlNG.
The Sweet Little Woman Has Peculiar
Ideas About Cleanliness.


The Japanese toilet is robbed of one
of it's finishing touches by the fact that
no Japanese woman, gentle or simple,

ported on an artists easel, which serves
her for looking glass, ever thinks OF

But it is easy to sleep with your hair

base to hold the ornamental hairpins.
The true Japanese woman, whether
she is rich or poor, uses paper pocket

hanging sleeves, with her tiny kiseru
(pipe) and silk tobacco pouch, and an
other pouch containing a tiny comb,
mirror and pigment for coloring the

LINCOLN AND MCCLELLAN.
The Latter Was Kept In Command Be-

Ahe AhLttr " dS kAcpO III SOuihdnu Dc-
cause of Public Feeling.
Just before the battle Of Chancellors-
vile visited the Army of the Potomac,
its headquarters being then at Fal-
mouth, in President Lincoln's company.
We were detained en- route by storm
and spent one night on board the steam
er anchored in the Potomac. In the
course of conversation that evening the
president was communicative and in
confidential mood and discussed the mil
itary situation with much freedom.
Speaking of Mcclellan he said, II kept
Mcclellan in command after l had ex-
pected that he would win victories SIM
ply because l knew that his dismissal
would provoke popular indignation and
shake the faith of the people in the final
success of the war"
Very soon after the battle of Chancel-
lorsville and before the battle of Gettys-
burg was fought the old rumor of Nc
Clellan's recall again got upon its legs,
to the great CONSERVATION of many Of
Lincoln's friends i'll Washington. This
report was more than usually vigorous
and plausible. Hooker's failure at Chan
cellorsville and the blow which his
military prestige had suffered in conse-
quence gave public opinion decidedly
sharp flip. One evening, while this
rumor was gaining strength, I CHANGED
to be in the family sitting room at the
White House, where the president, Mrs.
Lincoln and several callers were assem-
bled, when an indiscreet young lady di-
rectly attacked Lincoln with the extraor-
dinary question:
'Mr President, is Mcclellan going
to be recalled to the command of the
Army of the Potomac?"
The president good naturedly parried
this home thrust but gave no satisfacto-
ry answer. Afterward joining in the
conversation, 1 intimated to the presi-
dent that as he had not settled the mat
ter there probably might be some
ground for the general suspicion that
Mcclellan would be recalled Lincoln,
who sat near me, put on very severe
look, and turning said in an undertone,
And you too?" 1 instantly recalled
our conversation on the steamer and
apologized for my lack of faith. He then
added, II see you remember the talk
we had on the Carrie Martin. Noah
