Our friend Ball, OF the GreenTllle
ssNews," wants to hear US dilate on
McLaurin's part in the "Forty
movement. We have no doubt but
thata compliance with his wishes
would be very pleasing to him, but
we think. as did Judge Aldrich, now
deceased, when before him stood
lawyer who was very persistent IN
trying to impress the court with his
position, and when His Honor polite
ly intimated there was no necessity
for the lawyer to proceed, the lawyer
pleaded "Your Honor was just
dilating" and before he finished his
sentence the Judge, very much pro-
voked, said ayou dilate too damn
much, sit down, sir" Now, if we
undertake to dilate as the "News"
would have as, we might meet from
our readers the fate of the persistent
lawyer and be told that we "dilate
too damn mach"
That must have been disappoint-
ing spectacle in the national House

his boast to ssdo IcLaurin up" f,r

the speech which has become famous
throughout the Union.
Wilson, it is said, is grooming him
self to succeed Ben Tillman in the
Senate and after the delivery of Nc
Laurin's speech, his friends did avast
amount Of boasting as to how he
would crush ,ncLaurin and his
':tariff heresies," but when the oppor-
tunity was afforded him he failed to
specify, and well he did. Wilson is
fine speaker and very much OF a
scholar, but when he tackles the
"silver tongued orator of the Pee
Dee" he Will realize the meaning OF

Human Ignorance.

The conductor Of a train running be-,

quoted as telling story which illustrates

ticket receiver to see If he could pass hei

bought ticket at Charleston. She said she
had. Where is its' asked the receiver.

A blockade Venture.

During the blockade Of Buenos Ayres a
clipper bark laden with -four was fitted
out at Boston with the express purpose OF
running in. The late Augustus Hemcn-
way was her supercargo. After q tedious
voyage she arrived off Buenos Ayres and
found his blockade too close to run in,
and was compelled to cruise of and on,
waiting for a change in her favor. While
thus lazily reconnoitering she spoke ves-

to try Valparaiso. The captain hesitated.
He said his vessel was not adapted to dou-

young ,Hemenway assumed the entire re-

had favorable slant round the Horn and
reached Valparaiso In safety, where her
cargo was sold at high prices. The Chile
ans were so grateful for the timely relief
that they loaded the bark as deep as she
could safely swim with copper ore, and all
concerned in the venture made fortune.
Later, Mr. Hemenway opened trade with
Valparaiso in copper, wool, nitrate, etc.,

General Meade had been untiring In hi

General Grants senior by seven years, wa
older than any OF the corps commanders
and was naturally of an excitable tempera

to which he was subjected he not infre

by many Of the people, and perhaps by tn
authorities in Washington. Mr.. Dana, tn.
assistant secretary of war, who was still
with the army, was present at the inter
view, and he and General Grant tried tc
console Meade by assurances that the story
would not be credited and that they would
give broad contradiction to it, Mr. Dana
at once sent "a dispatch to the secretary oi
war, alluding to the rumor and saying
"This is entirely untrue. He has no,
shown any weakness of the sort since NOV
ing from Culpeper, nor once intimated
doubt as to the successful issue Of the cam

The secretary replied the next day, Jun,

even approximately, how much is extorted
from the people by the agents Of the differ

amount considerably, perhaps enormously,
greater than ever finds its way TO the ma.
tional treasury. Since the war with Japan,
China has become borrower from foreign
capitalists, and this fact has led to some.

resources. This has proved to be work
OF great difficulty, for accounts are never
audited, and only imperfect reports of the
sums raised annually are printed in the
Peking Gazette. For the purpose Of rev.
enue, as, indeed, for other purposes,
China is an agglomeration of many quasi
Independent provincial governments. No
part of the national income Is collected di
rectly by the imperial government. All
the collectors of the revenue are the agent
of the provincial governors, and response

pear to belong to the provincial authorities

always some extraordinary or contingent
demands left unsatisfied or carried forward
to the next year-demands for famine re.

and risings in remote provinces, and lastly
there Is the admiralty board, whose wants
are never satisfied Those provinces
which have any surplus respond more OF

mands. The poorer provinces neglect them
altogether. In this way all the revenue Is
absorbed from year to year. There never
Is any reduction In taxation. Whatever
change Is made is always In the opposite
direction. The general relations between
the imperial and local authorities as to the
division of taxation may be summed up
by saying that the Peking authorities are
continually trying to extract rs much as
possible, while the local authorities are
continually trying to part with rs little as

Like everything else that comes very
close to human sympathies, the art dates
far back into the past. Even in its modern

time Of his visit to England. Following
illustrious Vandyke, all the early English
painters tried their hands at it. 1t Is but

And midnight. for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies OF June,
And here the glowing, glorious king

With stars Of midnight glittering
About the diadem.

A thousand fairy throngs

THE "FAST" YOUNG MAN.
The Duty Of Fathers to Portray Him In
His True Light.


In The Ladies' Home Journal Edward W.
Box writes of the "fast" man and the du-
ties of fathers to their daughters in placing
him where he belongs and warning them
against him. Mr.. Box believes that II it
is said of man that she has seen tho
world"-in other words, is "fast''-there
is instantly singular glamour about him
In the eyes of young girls-girls as good
and pure as were ever created. There Is
scent of danger about such a man, and
there are girls for whom danger, even of
this sort, has a singular fascination. 1.-The
girls know that these men are bad. But
SO long as they respect me and treat mo
as q lady, where's the harmg says the
young woman when she is called to ac-
count for her company.
"As matter of fact, the exact things
which man does to earn the reputation
of being fast are neither known nor
dreamed Of by the girls for whom such q
reputation has this glamour. The trouble
lies in the fact that our girls are brought
up under a system which hcsitates to call
q spade by its right name. We arc afraid
Of offending or of shocking certain fancied
sensibilities, whereas, In reality, we mako
the greater mistake Of making diamonds
out of spades and giving our girls wrong
idea of actual things. . 1t Is all very
well to be tender in our regard for the
feelings of our girls, but there is a limit, "a
point at which discretion becomes a crime.
And that point has been reached when
girls are allowed to know and associate
with such men all unconscious of the dan.
ger. When every mother or father, or per
son with whom the duty may rest, classes
the fast man where he belongs and por.
trays him i'm his true light, 1t will he bet
ter for our girls. 1t is high time that some
of them should know that the man who
leads anything but pure life buys, in ev.
cry instance, that experience at distinct
sacrifice to himself and at tremendous
cost to the girl who marrics him.
