THE OVERSEER IN THE SENATE.
The speech of Tillman, the Populist
senator from South Carolina, in the
senate measures accurately the depths
to which that state has fallen. That
such a man could have risen through
the governorship tc a seat in the SEN
ate shows decadence in public morals
and decency such as no other state
OF the nation has yet afforded. There
are men as corrupt as he there, men
as INSCRIPTIONS, perhaps, but they at
least veneer their vice with the de-
meanor and language of gentlemen.
This fellow brings to the senate the
unsavory record he made in his state,
a character tattooed with dishonesty;
and adds to this the manners of the
plantation overseer in the days Of
slavery
To notice him for any other purpose
than to comment on the degradation Of
a state once prolific in statesmen and
gentlemen would be concession
to indecency. South Carolina has
fallen fast and far when she
sends a Tillman and an Irby
to sit in the chairs of the distinguished
line of able, honest, clean and gentle
manly men, beginning with Charles
Ptnckney and ending with Wade Hamp-
ton. AS one contemplates the long
list of honorable, educated, intelligent
gentlemen who have been senators
from that state and then turns to gaze
on this fellow, low, coarse, ignorant
and brutal, senseless Of the dignity Of
Ills oIIlce, and to listen to his billings
gate, one can only feel that South Car
ollna's punishment for her transgres-
sion in 1860 is merciless in its severity.
1t was the ordinance of secession that
made a Tillman in the senate possible:
and sensing this, the proud but hui
inflated state may well cry out: NV
punishment is greater than I can bear.
Poor Carolina!

Dickens's Dummy Books.

"'Gad's Hill was a merry house"
writes Stephen Fiske in fondly recall
ing incidents of his visits to Charles
Dickens, in an article telling of the
personal side of the novelist in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Chickens was
a wellspring of mirth, and his humor
infected the whole party. Often,
when I came down from London, he
would walk out and lean against the
doorpost, while I was at the gate, and
we would shout with laughter over the
fun that We had had and were going to
have. When everything else failed
the library was an unending amuse-
ment. The room was lined with books
from floor to ceiling, even the backs
Of the doors being bookcases;
but the books on the doors and along
the floor were bogus. Dummy backs
had been lettered with titles and
pasted on the glass, and the titles had
been selected by such wits as Dickens,

Smith and Mark Lemon. of Punch

Largest Word in Any Language.

There is one word in human speech

fusion of tongues at Babel's tower. 1t

created in any such hasty fashion as
that. 1t has been in process of build

At the time of the Babel incident
there was no German language, and
German is the only tongue known
among men in which such q word
could ever have been constructed.
German was, no doubt, developed by
a wise Providence as a special vehicle
for such words as this.
Not only that, but when the Ian

How Died.

A correspondent writing to a South
African contemporary supplies what
he states is the true story of the death
of the great Matabele Chief. Loben-
gula. It is a pathetic story. The cor
respondent relates: "Lobengula, suf-
fering from smallpox, worn out by his
long flight, disappointed in his hopes
of peace and altogether broken down
by the loss of his country, his power
and possessions, came to halt at last
among the mountains north of the
Shangani River.
"Here he begged his witch doctor
to give him poison with which to end
his life, but the man refused. The
despairing chief went up the hill to
the foot OF the crag which tops it, and,
sitting there, he gazed for a long time
at the sun as it slowly sank toward the
west. Then, descending, he again de-
manded poison of his doctor, and in
sisted till finally it was given to him.
Once more ascending the slope, he
seated himself against the krantz, took
the poison and gazed at the setting
sun, stolidly awaiting the death which
presently put an end to his sufferings
and his blood-stained life.
"There is something pathetic and
grand in the picture. It is the last
scene of the great epic, the conquest
of Mstabeieland. Hisfollowers found
him seated there in death, and, piling
stones and rocks around him, they
left him. Whether he was placed in
his royal chair, fanked by guns and
covered over with his blankets and
other possessions as described in the
South African Review, I know not.
All this may be true, and also that a
strong palisade of tree trunks was
planted around this spot, but I give
the story as I heard it, and believe
that, as it emanates from MI. Dawson,
it is the correct one. "-Westminster

As he turns the sod with the harvest's God
For his helper, guide and friend.
