For the SENTINEL
"MAGNOLIA GUARDS -

Twas in the year Of sixty-onc
Oar school boys donned the grey,
And held themselves in readiness
When called to march away.
Magnolia Guards" a fitting name.
They would their State protect.
Nor waver when danger appeared.
Nor duty dare neglect.
Each young heart eager, longed togo
To prove soldier brave;
Each soul burned with a deep desire
His country's name to save.
At last their hearts were satisfied.
Virginia made the call,
And Duncan's school house closed its door
Farewells were said by all.

On old Sarepta's hills
May blossoms made the meadows sweet,
And softly sang the rills.
A sadness reigned within our hearts.

Not all OF these, Sarepta's pride,
Would tread her hills again.
Some mothers son she kissed that day
And held close to her breast
Would give his life to save his State.
Beneath her sod would rest
Some sister left in silent tears
Would hear the news one day.
"He fell among the bravest ones,
He gave his life away"
Some sweetheart dear some wife will long,
But long in vain for one
At evening when she sits alone
Beside the old hearths:one.
But they were brave. we dared not plead.
We could not bid them stay
When life and honor were at stake
True souls must lead the way.
The sweet magnolias bloomed and died.
As they had bloomcd before:
May blossoms came three times again
Ere ceased the cannon's roar.
The cause was lost but brave the men
Who wore the Southern grey,

For each cold brow Of clay.
From out her ranks Magnolia Guards
Had seen her comrades fall,
Till now were left to wander home
Few who had heard the call.
'Tis thirty years and more since then.
And many more have gone
To join their comrades up above,
Where lite's an endless dawn.
And to the few. the scattered few,
Whose locks are white with age.

Senator Jones Admits That There Can

Senator Jones Admits That There Can BE
but One Standard OF Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard Of value,
any more than it can maintain more
than one standard of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard Of length. If there
be two or more standards Of different
value, the standard Of lower value will
in practice become the only standard.
II one goes into the market, the law
being that a yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feet In length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 1000 or ., 240
pounds, he will receive tons of 1000
pounds each. If he buy potatoes by the,
bushel, the law being that bushel
shall contain either two peoks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, If the law be

bullion value equal to its face value,
or silver coin, with a bullion value Of
only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the SELL
ers of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars Of the lesser
value.
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time BIZ
metallic standard. and the attempt to
create a double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences Of injustice with reference
to past contracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report Of the silver commission Of 1875
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is variance between the le-
gal and market relations Of the metals
the standard would be practically based
on one metal, and it the cheaper and
more available one. The financial his
tory Of the United States and of France
furnish conclusive evidence Of the accu-
racy Of the senator's view On this point.

Can't Export Laws.

No civilized country can confne its
citizens within its own territory or
prohibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment Of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howsoev-
er great country may be, and however
absolute may be tho power of its gov
ernment, its laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect. No government, there
fore, can prescribe the. standard by
which its currency shall be valued in
any other country, or compel the citi-
zens of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value OF
that currency in the markets Of the

my meaning as well as does the
quaint old-time word. To be '4tidy,'
Webster tells us, is to be arranged in
good order; neat; kept in proper and
becoming neatness.'' Nowadays girls
are neat to certain extent and in a
certain way. They bathe freely and
wear clean clothes; but are they tidyP
Frequently they are not. Their hair
is often loose and prone to tumble down,
their gloves are sometimes ripped at
the finger tips, and one or two buttons
are lacking from their boo.s. The
stock collar is often fastened on with
an ordinary white pin that is very OBJ
yious, and the veil has occasionally a
hole over the nose or chin. Our girl is
charming; but is she as careful as she
should be?
The other day I was making morn
ing call at friends house, and there
met another caller, woman who made
most agreeable impression upon me.
She was not elaborately dressed, but
her black tailormade gown fitted her
well, and there was not a spot or a
speck of dust on it. Y knew that it
had been brushed carefully before she
left her room. Her linen collar and
a
cuffs we're snowy white, and did not
twist or shift from their proper places.
Her gloves did not wrinkle, and but
toned smoothly over the wrists; her
shoes we're like the rest Of her attire
dainty; and her bonnet rested firmly
and straight on soft brown hair that,
while wavy and fluffy, was neatly
dressed, and 90 securely pinned that l
fancy a high wind would not have
caused it to come down. A thin veil
covered fresh complexion and bright
face. The tout ensemble gave one the
idea of daintiness and delicate finish.
In speaking of this woman afterwards
to man who knows her, said:
sThere is something about her APP
pesrance that charms one. What is
the secret2"
81 will tell you," be said. "She is a
well-groomed woman. There are never
any rough or loose ends about her. "
"You mean that she is tidy" 1 said
to him.
'You call it tidy l say we'll
groomed.' We both mean the same
thing.n
However one may express it-in
sporting terms or with the old fash
ioned worlds the condition not well
worth striving for? Nothing is SO de-
structiye to illusion, so detrimental to
the fascination of beauty or personal
charm as the lack Of this quality.

GLOVES FOR SUMNER.

Gloves are among the most import
ant items Of woman's attire. That
is acknowledged by everyone. They
are costly, because there must be SO
many of them to keep my lady's hands
neatly covered; and they are tiresome
because the work of putting on new
pair Of gloves is not the easiest thing
in the world when one is hot, or in q
hurry, or tired, or ready to 60 out, or
anxious to see whether the new gants
harmonize with the tailor made dress.
To one who has never deeply consid-
cred the question (if such one could
possibly be a woman), there is doubt
whether skin tight glove, or one
loose enough to show the little wrink-
les in the back affected by men. is the
better. Let it be said that the decis-
ion should depend upon the shape of
the hand. Some hands look more
stylish in tight glove than a loose one,
and vice versa. Every woman must
be law unto herself in this matter,
but she may assure herself that there
is no iron bound rule of fashion or
taste to compel her to 60 TO an extreme
either way.
The color Of gloyesp Is that prob.
lem? One would hardly think SO. since .
the tone OF the whole costume is usu-
ally supposed. To, make the decree for
the shade Of gloves. But there are
nice questions affecting the color Of
gloves that cannot be settled by q
glance at the gown and hat, and these
questions the arbiters Of fashion suffer
much in trying to answer satisfactorily
It has been darkly rnmored that the
dainty white glove was to be tabooded.
Nothing Of the kind; white gloves will
be worn a great deal this year. Naught
completes the diaphanous summer
toilet SO we'll as white gloves really
white, of course. Nothing spoils a
summer costume so quickly and SO ef-
fectually as dingyiglove. But then it
is so easy to cIeanwhite gloves, and they
,ook SO we'll when they are cleaned,
that there is no excuse for the woman
who puts on dirty glove. There il
the dead white glove, the cream and
ivory glove. All these are beautiful,
and all are cleaned without difficulty.
For street wear gloves Of pronounced
colors are de rigueur. A bright light
tan shade is popular, and for calling
one may wear pearl-gray. One of the
novelties Is the sewing Of seams in
| bright culors on black or light gloves.
