The Rev. Charles Fl. Parkhurst, D.
D., writes Of 1.-The Young Man on the
Fence" in The Ladies' Home Journal.
He believes that ''when all has been
said that admits Of being said in regard
to . young mans equipment for life and
in regard to what he ought 10 do and
what he ought to eschew, it still remains
q fact that his acquisitions and his
achievements will depend principally on
his way Of looking at life and OH the
spirit with which he takes hold of life.
He can dea! with it at arms length or
he can grip it ut short range. Hc can
treat the world as an article Of virtu
to be elegantly inspected, or he can han
die 1t as q practical commodity to thrust
his hands into. He can approach it with
an eye Of half supercilious interrogation,
or he can come down upon it with q
plump bound that means respect. conf.
deDce and the will to have frank COM
merce with it. There is enough in al
most any young fellow to get q great
deal into life if he has the disposition TO
construe things with q degree Of seri.
BUSINESS. and by seriousness I do not
mean sourness, but practical earnestness
the spirit, namely, that will prevent
his looking npon the world as being lit
tie better than an ill timed joke, awk-
ward enough to make the whole thing
uncomfortable and ludicrous enough to
excuse any sophisticated person from
concerning himself much with it,"

An Indian correspondent tells Of an
incident which came under his official
notice as magistrate Of Hosan, Madras.
A European was hunting black buck on
= hillside. when he obtained a shot with
bis Martini Henri carbine. The result
Of the shot taught him q lesson about
the dangers Of long range bullets.
In q valley I, $50 yards away, beyond
two rather high hills and a little pond.
. native was standing with his head
bowed and hands clasped behind his
back. The bullet broke the wrist Of this
mans hand. In the investigation that
followed the course Of the bullet was
traced accurately.
In firing ut the antelope the bullet
had hit o stone OF the hillside and gone
bounding end over end over the first hill.
At the next hill another place where
the bullet struck vas found. Here the
bullet leaped into the air almost perpen-
dicularly, and when it came down in
the ricefield it hit the mans wrist,
broke the bone, cut n cash in his body,
then dropped to the ground aspent ball.

A waiter from ''de Bowery" drifted
Into town the other day and got a job in
Royal street restaurant. He was dreaa-
ed in a check suit, walked stir kneed,
with his chin out, and yelled ont his or
ders like q Mississippi mate. His first
customer was a gentleman Of delicate
appetite. The waite. struck q prize
fighter attitude, leaned his head slightly
down toward tho guest and said:
"Well?"
The guest looked up in surprise. The
waiter glanced down at him.
"Well, what can we do for yer, sport?''
Regaining his control, the diner said,
"Ah. I'd like something light. waiter"
"Sumtin light? How would O fedder
do yer?"
"a WHAT"
"a fodder. Maybe you might get your
whiskers trou a lamp, or p'r'aps a cup
OF BARRIERS ladder might fit yer mug"
Having delivered himself of these
Pleasantries, the waiter smiled broadly
and tapped his customer lightly on the
chest.

Free Silver Carries Kentucky.

Louisville, KY, May 3O.-Free silver
carried the State of Kentucky to-day
in the Democratic country primaries
by good majorities. The conventions
were called to select delegates to
the Democratic district conventions,
which met at Lexington, June Sd.
Wherever free silver was endorsed
resolutions were adopted declaring
United States Senator Joseph Black
burn to be the Democratic nominee
for re election as United States Sena-
tor. Many counties refused to en-
dorse Carlisle for the Presidency,
and turned down resolutions approx
ing the work of the Democratic ma
tional administration.
Out of sixty-nine counties heard
from, forty-nine, with vote of 1853,
declare for the 16 to / idea, and
thirteen counties, with vote of 1856,
put themselves on record for the gold
standard. There are $40 votes in the
convention.

General Walker and his Republican
Allies.

Washington, d. C, May 29-General
James A. Walker, the Republican
who represents the Ninth District of
Virginia, in the House of Representa-
tives, made a display, and very
discreditable one at that, OF his
partisanship to-day. The contested
election case of Johnston (Republi-
cam against Stokes Democrat, OF
South Carolina, wus reported on from
Elections Committee, No. 3. Repre-
sentative Jenkins Republican,, OF
Wisconsin, made the majority report
in favor of Stokes, the Democrat.
REPRESENTATIVE Overstreet, Of In
diana, made the minority report in
favor of Johnston, the contesting
Republican, in which he was joined
by Walker, of Virginia, and Thomas,
of Michigan. Mr.. Walker transferred
himself to the Republican side of the
house, and began very bitter and
slanderous attack on the election
laws Of South Carolina, in the course
of which he rather reflected on the
Republicanism of some OF the nem-
bers of the Elections Committee.
This brought Representative jenkins
to his feet, who said that he was a
Republican and Union soldier,
when Mr.. Walker was on the other
side: and. that he had been a con
sistent Republican all along. Mr..
Walker. be said, was only recent
convert, and like all new converts,
was over-zealous.
Mr.. jenkins paid high compli:
ment to Representative Jones, OF
Virginia, and the other members Of
Elections Committee, No. 3, for their
fairness and impartiality in all the
cases that had come before the com
mittee. He administered a well de-
served rebuke to Walker for his
assumption of all the Republicanism
that was in the committee.
Mr.. Walkers time being up, he
asked that his undelivered remarks
be allowed to be printed in the
Record. This could only be done by
unanimous consent, and Mr.. KEN, of
Nebraska, the great objector, OBJ
iected, so that Mr.. Walkers attack
on South Carolina will be consigned
to the waste-basket. Later. he had
quite lively spat with jenkins and
other Republicans, in all of which he
came out second best.-Richmond
Dispatch.

General Lee made a happy response.
1t was a great and pleasant surprise
to General Lee and delight to the
people to meet the distinguished
soldier and statesman.
After responding General Lee had
regular reception until the train
pulled out.

can Congressional candidate, if he
wants it, as the majority of the dele

The President vetoed the River
a nd Harbor bill last week and
severely scored Congress for passing
measure which provided for the
expenditure of $75,OOO,OOO In his
opinion the law, if passed, would
necessitate bond issue Of equal
amount to meet the appropriation,
and in this time of business depres-
Sion. and.resultant disappointment in
government revenues, he thinks, eX'
travagant appropriations are out of
the. question. Congress, this week.
disregarding both his reasons and the
lecture which accompanied them,
promptly passed the bill over his
veto by vote of 290 to 60, thirty
nine Democrats voting to override
the Presidential objections and TWEEN
ty-siX Republicans voting to sustain
them. The views of the President
in the matter are correct and ought
to have been respected. The log
rolling scheme ought TO have been
defeated and the insolence of the
President toward them and absolute
disregard of their views on all occa
sions, ought not to have caused them
to forget the duty which they owed
to themselves and their country.

The potato crop of Norfolk county
is said by conservative farmers, who

number. The plants are growing
very luxuriantly, but there is nothing
on the bottom.-Norfolk Ledger.

citizens reform candidate. The re-
formers do not retain single office,
