FEM L SUFFRAGE.

sunny South.
The advocates Of female suffrage
are doubtless honest in their belief
that the admission of women to the
polls would insure to their farther
elevation. We cannot so think, on the
contrary, we are decidedly of the
opinion that with the compromise Of
modesty that this would involve the
larger part Of their power. would pass
away. 1t is net from any thought Of
their inferiorEy that civilized men
wish to spare their women particlpa.
tion in the rougher scenes of life.
They instinctively dread seeing those
whom they have learned to vcnerate
for their gentleness subjected to the
hardening Influence that surround the
ballot. Despite all that may be urged
to the contrary, it is true that the
woman who goes on the platform or
the hustings loses much of that which
forms her greatest attraction. We
may become accustomed to such things
in the far future. But according to
the present style Of thinking the VIC.
men who ventures on the political
arena degrades rather than dignifes
herself. 1t is even more sure that the
extension to them of the duty of SUI.
ferage will make politics more pure.
As a rule, those who might exert a
purifying influence will not take part
in the rough scenes. Those who would
enter upon it will not especially aim
at doing good, and would not be fitted
to DO so. did they so aim. Times with
out number has it has shown that
when women under some great excite
ment become actors in a public tumult,
they are more wildly unreasonable and
more unfeeling than men. A mob Of
which females are the leaders is the
most cruel of mobs. Our politics are
dirty enough beyond question. We
need to have them subjected to some
cleansing influences. But we protest
against having the experiment made
of trying to purify them by exposing
our mothers, sisters, daughters to the
dangers OF contamination.

The Old and New South.

The New York Herald assists Hen.
ry Wattcrson out of an alleged dilem.
ma as follows:
"Mr. Henry Watterson, the Ken
lucky thoroughbred, wants to know
what the difference is between the
Old South and the New South.
That is a very easy conundrum to
guess. The Old South had a notion
that the Yankees love- Of gold and his
willingness to work for it were the
characteristics of a rather vulgar
mind. .
THE New South has suddenly found
a lot of coal and iron on its estates,
become excited, peeled off its swallow
tailed coat, rolled up its sleeves and
taken a great big oath that it will
make more money than the Yankee
yer dreamed Of or know the reason
why.
"And great Scott 1t will do it, too
if we are not careful"

"IN DE OLD TIM Els"

Raymond Gazette.
The circuit clerk has been making a
circuit of the county registering tho
voters at the various precincts. A
few colOred men applied for registra-
ton. Some succeeded in standing
the educational test while Others
failed.
1t was amusing to see some make
the effort to read and understand the
Constitution and rather disappointed
at the failure.
At Dry Grove, a self-important fell
low approached with the inquiry

"Well, Dick, a you write your

Yes, sab"
"Do you understand the constitu-
ton ?"
YES, sab"
"Well please read the lines printed
over the top Of the registration
book"
After making a manful effort, and
not succeeding to the satisfaction of
the clerk, he was informed that he
must qualify himself with an educa-
ton before he was entitled to regis
ter.
Evidently the colorcd brother had
not offered TO vote since the new con
stitution was framed.
1t was a great disappointment tC
him, and looking at the clerk and
around at the people standing about,
he said

SHOOK HIS NERVE.
A JUDGE SHAVED by THE CONVICT lie
SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRIs-
ONMENT.

Chicago Dispatch.
The story Of that French monarch,
Louis Quatorze, | think 1t was, hay-
ing heard that a certain barber had
declared that he would like 10 cut his
throat, promptly sent for the man to
shave him, finds a parallel in the case
of Judge Daniel j. Murphy, who
passed through town on Sunday on
his way to his home in San Fran
cisco.
In 1891, Mr.. Murphy was prosecu-
ting attorney-and he was a good one,
too. Two years later he was elected
to the bench. While he was on the
bench Judge Murphy paid "A visit to
the warden of Folsome p~ehitentiary,
with whom he had some important
business interests. When the bust
ness had been disposed Of the warden
invited his friend, the judge, to stop
and take dinner with him.
''Oh, but your wife will be there,
and I'm not shaved"
''That's nothing" replied the war
den, "just step into the barber shop"
Judge Murphy accordingly Invested
himself of hat, coat and collar and
laid him back in the barber chair,
where ne was waited upon by a coal
black colored nan of gigantic stat
ure. Hardly had his face been lath-
cred when the barber exclaimed:
"You dom pear to recoleck me,
Judge"
Murphy looked him all over.
NO" | can't say | do.
"l'm Tom Hanson, the mar you
sent up foah life when you was prose-
kutin' %'turney," said the darkey,
stropping away on his razor within a
foot or two of the judges throat.
"Doan' you member me, boss ?"
Then Murphy looked more closely
at the man, and as he did so a cold
sweat broke out upon his forehead,
for he recognized in him a man whom
lie had helped to send to Folsome on
a life sentence. The crime Of the ne
gro had been the murder of his sweet
heart under the most revolving Cir
cumstanCes.
"All this" said Judge Murphy, in
relating his experience to Il group of
brcathless listeners, passed through
my mind like a flash. | remembered
every detail of the crime, the fellows
desperate resistance to the officers,
and | realized that my life at that
moment hung on the merest thread.
Something must have inspired me to
glance toward the door, and as | did
so caught the grey eye of the war
den glancing along the barrel of a re-
vOlyer. He had apparently caught
on to the situation, and stood ready to
riddle the negro with bullets at the
slightest hostile movement on his
part.
Then my nerve came back"
GIVE me a good shave, Tom |
managed to say with an appearance
of unconccrn. Give me a good shave,
and I'll try and procure a communal
ton of yonr sentence. You're in
luck. If you hadn't spoken | should
not have known YOU"
"Tcn minutes later / stood in the
wardcn's room shaking like a leaf.
He poured me out d glass of whisky.
Drink that he said. You look
like a man who needs it,"

A STUDY OF TIN e.
Good Words.

Good Words.
Napoleon, who knew the value of
time, remarked that it was the quart
er hours that won battles. The value
OF minutes has been often recognized,
and any person watching a railway
clerk handing out tickets and change
during the last few minutes must
have been struck with how much could
be done IN those short portions of
time.
At the appointed hour the train
starts and by and by is carrying pas
sengers at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. In a second you are carried
.tWenty-ninc yards. In onc-twcnty-
ninth of a second you pass over one
yard. Now one yard is quite an apprc-
cable distance, but one-twenty-nintll
of a second isa period which cannot be
appreciated,
Yet it is when we come to planetary
and stellar motions that the notion of
the Infinite divisibility of time dawns
upon us in a new light. It would seem
That no portion Of time, however mi.
c%roscopic, is unavailable. Nature can
perform prodigies, not certainly in less
than no time, but in portions of it so
minute as to be altogether inconceiva-
bic. The earth revolves on its axis in
twenty-four hours. At the equator It's
circumference is Is, 900 miles. Hence.
IN that part of the earth a person is
being carried eastward at the rate of
509 yard per second, That il, he is
moving over il yard, whose length is
conceivable, in the period of one-0ye-
understanding part of a second.
OF which we have no conception at
all.
But more, the orbital motion of the
earth around the sun causes the form
e.. to perform a revolution Of nearly
Wo,oO0,W miles in a year, or some
what less than 10000 miles an hour,
wnich IL more than 1000 miles a
minute Here, then, our second carries
vs. the long distance Of about nineteen
miles. The mighty ball thus flies abou,
