Women and Parliament.

There seems to be still chance for those few members of our sex who oovet the right to sit in parliament It ap- pears that, in the views of some who are qualified to- form an opinion on such matters, the supply of parliamentary candidates is decreasing. and the decline is likely to become still more serious as those who are eligible for such service come to realize more and moro the in- adequacy of tho reward which tho life of an M. P. " offers, as compared with the trouble and expense necessary to se. cure election. But if the supply of male candidates fail there will be noth- Ing for it but to fall back upon the "enaneipators" of our sex, who may thus be provided with an opportunity of rushing in where the male creature re- fuses any longer to tread. --Lady's Pic toHial

 of the Author.
 Speaking Of Longfellow, ill her vol ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs Jane J Fields says:
 His kinC ness and love of humor caF- ried him through many tedious intes ruption lie generously overlooked tta fact of the subteffuges to which men and women fesorted in order to get an interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible. Speaking one day of the persons who came to see him at Nahant. he said: One man, a perfect stranger, came with an omnibus full of ladies. He descend ed introduced himself then, returning to the omnibus, took cut all the ladies, one two, three, four and five, with little girl, end brought them ill. 1 en- tertained them to the best of my ability, and they staid an hour. They had scarce Iy eono when forlorn woman i'll black came up to ne on the piazza and asked for dipper of water. Certainly, y l replied, and went to fetch her glass. When 1 brought it, she said: "There is another woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty. will carry this to her. Y" But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza ''Oh, what have doner' she said. "If I had 8 floor cloth, I would wipe it up ; "Oh, no matter about the water, ," l said, If you have not hurt yourself " Then 1 went and brought more water for them both and sent them on their way re- freshed and rejoicing.
 eIt would Dc both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the cu- rious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is a passage among Mr. Fields notes, how ever, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow's s last visit to Eng land which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival tho queen sent a grace ful message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honors, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English bod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the Voices of the Night J

Views of Mr.. Depew-Likely to be
Adopted During McKinleys Term.
London, June 25.-The Echo this af-
ternoon publishes an interview with
Chauncey NJ. Depew, during which he
is quoted as expressing the belief that
the arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain will
be law before the end of President Nc
Kinley's term of office. Regarding the
anti-British feeling in the United States
Mr., Depew remarked in this interview:
Americans have deep distrust of
the methods of the British government
in regard to British land grabbers. I
admit that when they grab they give
the people better government; but
Americans feel that they will not be
content with grabbing the land of the
old world, and are going to try to grab
the new world. Anything of that kind
done in our hemisphere we want to do
ourselves. This suspicion on the for
eign policy is the reason for the failure
of the arbitration treaty, though Irish
opinion may have helped, for America
has deep sympathy for Ireland and
home rule, as it seems to be the natural
development of the federal idea A
permanent tribunal of Great Britain
and America must come President
Mckinley and the most thoughtful
Americans are in favor of it,

at that place yesterday and confined in
Jail, was hanged by a mob there at
$3.50 this morning. The negro had been
guarded by one hundred men since yes

this place had been sent, but owing to
the absence of Governor McLaurin,
and the fact that it was impossible to

start for the scene until this morning.
