Hampton And Clay.

Gone Of my boyhood recollections,"
said General Wade Hampton to
select coterie of conversationalists at
the Metropolitan, according to the
Chicago Times-Herald, "refers to
Henry Clay. He was frequent visi-
tor at my father house in South Car
olina. Both Clay and my father were
ardent and nothing was more to their
minds than the collection of-~a brace
Of gentlemen, equally addicted to
whist, and then the quarteste would
play for hours. While the name whist
might serve to imply a game where
silence reigned, my father and Clay
didn't play whist that way. They
e1ulted audibly over q success, and
did not hesitate when they we're play.
ing as partners to violently point out
mistakes the other had made and
attributed defeat to the others igno-
rance and utter lack of natural intel
ligence. Indeed, on occasions partic-
ularly trying, they were even known
to apply hard names to one another.
This they did in no slanderous spirit,
but to brighten up and sharpen the
wits Of the other to the Improvement
Of his play. AS they were sitting
down to game as partners one even
ing Clay remarked:
"It's great outrage the way We
talk to each other, and my idea now,
at the outset, is for each of us to put
up 500 to belong to the one who is
first called hard names by the other.
If you assail me the money is mine;
if forget myself you take it,
"My father readily agreed. he felt
in mild, agreeable mood. HeWas
confident he would never again be
prey to the slightest impulse to speak
harshly to his dear friend Clay. And,
besides, it was his recollection that
Clay was the man who ragged and did
the loud talking. So my father cheer
fully placed the 500 on top Of Clay's.
He thought it would be good lesson
to the blue grass orator to lose it.
As they proceeded with Che game
Clay made some excessively thick
headed and ill-advised plays. He led
the wrong cards; .ho trumped the
wrong tricks he did everything IDIOT
ic in whist that he well could. My
fathers blood began to boil. AS he
and Clay lost game after game his
wrath ran higher and higher. Still he
bit his lip and suffered in silence. It
went on for hours, until Clay made
some play Of crowning imbecility
which lost him and my father the
eleventh game. Flesh and blood could
bear no more. My father sternly
pushed the $40 over to Clay.
"Why, said Clay, opening his gray
eyes, why do you do that? You
haven't said a word
"'No,' retorted my father, but I'm
going to tell you, sir, that you are the
most abject idiot, the most boundless
imbecile that ever dealt hand at.
whist. Yes, sir; I repeat it you a,el
the - fool I ever met in my life,

MRS A. VIOLA NEBLETT, GREENv1LLE.
II cannot add any reasons, but only
reiterate the old and fundamental
principles that Governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of
the governed. American women are
amenable to the laws made and execu-
ted by men their consent was not
asked to a single law on the statute
books. I believe that woman should
have the ballot because she is tax
payer. In stock companies she has
vote, but as real estate owner she
has no voice in the expenditure Of
money raised by taxation on her prop
erty." -,
IT believe that woman should have
the ballot because a citizen is entitled
to an expression Of opinion, and wo-
man intelligence-her close approach
to man in the thoughts that stir the
world-prove her capable Of forming
an intelligent opinion on subjects as
abstruse as politics. / believe wo-
man should have the ballot because
by it's denial she is classed with trai-
tors and idiots, with those guilty OF
larceny and Infamous crimes, which
is degradation to every aelf-respect-
ing woman. believe. that women
should have the ballot because the
trend of progress and civilization is to
place woman side by side with man in
the home, in business and on the
intellectual plane, and woman should
be the companion in the great work OF
government, which needs honor, devo-
ton and self-sacri6ce to preserve the
life and prosperity Of the nation. l
believe that woman should have the
ballot because the welfare Of the coun.
try demands that the womanly half of
humanity be educated and instructed
and required to take part in the enact
ment Of laws and in their administra-
tion. This would ennoble and dignity
her."
"I believe that the ballot for wo-
man would open avenues for the e3er-
else of moral qualities to be utilized
for the benefit of the country. Wo-
men would not be dragged down into
the mire of politics, but would lift
men out Of the vortex into which they
have sunken. Not that believe that
women are 80 much better than men,
but that the sexes have civilizing
influence over each other"
''The ballot is the golden key to
every opportunity, and just as it is an
advantage to men it would be to wo-
men.
IT believe that the ballot should be
given woman as q right and exercised
as duty, and its exercise is a respon-
sibility that all should perform in
Republican government American
government and the policy of Ameri-
can institutions demand equal rights
for all.
"The demand for the ballot is not
the expression of discomfort for the
few, but is the widespread throwing
off Of the lethargy of the ages and the
pulsing of the new life and activity
that is to usher in the noontide OF
emancipation from the superstitions
Of the past when the glorious words,
everyone is entitled to the pursuit OF
life, liberty and happiness, are to
ring round the world there is to be no
superior or inferior, and right, not
might, shall be the great governing
principle of the world and all shall
feel the electric thrill of liberty and
cooperation in the worlds work for
the good Of humanity.

W0man's Suffrage Lessons.

The following opinions are worth
reading for more reasons than one,
and the average male politician will
be especially edited, not to say as
founded
"The vital question apparently be-
fore the people Of this country at
present is the tariff. But woman's
enfranchiscment is in verify the ques-
tion now agitates the civilized world,
and reasoning humanity accords it to
her viva voce. But unfortunately it
seems that reasoning humanity is in
the minority. Many men and women
who arc really we'll educated as far as
letters go, and who are under the i'm
preston that they think and reason,
are not sufficiently endowed by nature
to arrive at anything by ratiocination,
but are satisfied to accept things as
they find them. Hence woman's suf-
frage presents itself to them, not as a
thing so clear that it should go with
out saying, but as a problem that re-
quires to be worked out by rule. And
its Importance is as perfect mystery
to them as the cause Of the signals
said to be visible to science in the
planet Mars.
"To deny woman suffrage is to in
suit motherhood. She bears sons who
make laws that renounce her equality
and that imply inferiority for her.
Such presumption is as intolerable as
it is unnatural. 1t is with men sim
ply a question of sex, not Of right,
judgment or capacity. 1t is an intel
lectual ostracism that is disgrace to
manhood and to the Christian era.
"Let me beseech the women Of all
sections and Of all countries who have
not yet declared for it no longer to re-
main silent and inert, but to rally to
the ranks of the marching army of
men and women who are striving to
rid her of the yoke Of servitude, and
who aim to compel recognition for her
at the polls. Delay in answering the
roll-call of this imperative duty is
retrogression. And retrogression is
ignorance. To hesitate to demand
equal rights for themselves is to con-
fer autocracy upon their sons, and to
admit to them and their husbands and
brothers lower plane of being for
themselves, Of racial defect or defor-
nifty"
"a woman may acknowledge that to
vote is matter of Indifference to her,
but to confess that she has the right
to vote is to place herself beyond the
pale of understanding, and to lower
the standing of her gender.

Lively Discussion of the Question Of Low
ering the Level Of the Lakes.
CLEVELAND, Sept. a6.-The Deep Water
ways convention listened to large num-
Der of papers yesterday on matters of in
tercst to the delegates. A number Of reso.
lutions were offered, among them being
one by President William Livingston, of
the Lake Carriers association, calling
upon congress to take immediate steps to
increase the width of the channal of tho
Detroit river at the Lime Kiln crossing to
not less than 800 feet. Another, presented
by Hon. II. W. Seymour, of Sault Ste
Marie, recommended that the entire sub
ject Of lake levels DC referred to the inter-
national commission to be appointed by
the United States and the Dominion OF
Canada.
Near the close Of the days session a
lively discussion was precipitatcd by Cap
tain Drake, Of Buffalo, who referred to
the probable lowering OF the lake level by
the opening OF the drainage canal declar'
ing that the lowering of the water would
mean loss of carrying capacity equal to
twenty tons an inch for all modern lake
vessels. The springing of that subject was
sufficient to arouse loud calls for Engin.

I'VE will show that he arrived at the
church ut s:0o ard not before; that he en-
tered by the door OF the south side; that
he went into the library, took book and

neatly folded it, took out his watch so
that it would not drop out while he was
fixing the gas jets. He then went up to
the ceiling by a ladder and fixed the gas
burners. We will show that when the
gasfitters turned on tic sevcnty-two gas

Mrs. Matilda Durrant, mother OF the
prisoner, took the stand IS the first wit
ness for the defense. She testified that on
the morning Of April 3 her son was
dressed in blue cheviot suit, the blue
trousers of which she identified, and the
garment was introduced In evidence. Mrs.
Durrant stated that her son returned
home that evening shortly after O'Clock

wore no ovcrcoat. She testified that tho
trousers we're made to order by a local
tailor.
When Theodore left home on the morn

ton of both in Denorest's Magazine for
December makes it an ideas Christ

handsome illustrations depict various
phases of Chriitmas pleasures, and
timely article on "The Infant Christ
in Legend and Art" embellished with
numerous and beautiful reproduc-
tions of the Madonnas by modern
painters, gives some curious legends
about the Christ child, and similar
legends about virgin born saviour

paper on the Atlanta Exposition; sto-
ries by Gilbert Parker and Joseph

are Christmas poems, and lots of sug-

entertainments, and every one of the
departments is replete with timely
and valuable information. In addi-

picture Of "Chrysanthemums," "a per-
