New York, April ia dispatch TO
The Tribune from Washington says:
The policy of the administration IN
reference to Cuba is not likely TO be
criticised, as was that of its predeces-
sor, on the score of indifference to the
rights of American citizens. Secretary
Sherman, unlike Mr.. Olney, will see 10
it that imprisonments of suspects en-
titled to the protection of the United
| States for an indefinite period or time
| Is no longer INDUCED in by Spanish ON
Gals in Cuba. He will even go further
and make it plain to the Spanish au-
thorities that they cannot in the CLOS
ing decade of the nineteenth century
be permitted to carry on war upon prih-
ciples utterly at variance with mooerh
civilization. In short, notice mas peeh

Shun the SneakS.
(Orange Observer.)

One of the saddest things we ever
have to realize is that great part OF
this worlds population is made up of
dishonest people. We do not refer to
those people whose dishonesty takes
the form of stealing your money, your
watch or other personal property, but
to those miserable Uriah Heaps whose
treachery consists in relieving you of
your peace of mind by a pretence OF
friendship in your presence and a cor
responding amount of enmlty when
out Of your sight. There are few places
so favored as to escape the contamlna-
ton of these miserable hypocrites,
these society wolves in sleeps cloth
ing, and it is a matter Of deep regret
that some of their victims are created
so unsuspecting as to never discover
their guile and deceit. 1t is not al
ways possible to love our nelghbors as
ourself, at the same time we needn't
make our neighbor miserable by an
elaborate display of friendship when
with him and then pronounce him a
william to some interested friend who
will tell him the true state Of our re-
gard. Kindness and courtesy can be
dealt out in liberal quantities; but we
have no need to ever soil our con-
science with pretended friendship and
deceit for the sake Of policy.

An Airy Sketch of Southern Belle.

The Southern girl is type peculiar
to the soil. She resembles no other
young lady iii the country. In thought,
manners and methods she has a dis
tinct personality, and could be picked
out with ease in a multitude. As a rule
she is slender and strong. She is
reasonably we'll modelled, tendency
to tigh, lacing among the traditions
Of her people having had its natural
effect to some exten, upon her figure.
She is generally good-looking and very
often handsome. Her nervous person
ality is of value in this direction, for
her eyes are brigh. and her percep-
tions quick. She is, as rule, high
spirited and somewhat selfwilled.
She is harder to control than the
Northern girl, and when she makes up
her mind to get married and the old
people object she usually carries out
the program if it takes saddle horse
to accomplish it. None the less, how
ever, she is usually shrewd in deter
mining her choice, ana does not uSu-
ally make mistakes. She dresses we'll.
Her style is rather pronounced. She
speaks in high keyed voice and talks
rapidly. She speaks Of her escort in
variably as "her man." and of the
gentlemen in general as "the men,"
She is never visible in public without
one ofthese useful and convenient ar
ticles beside her. Her conversation is
directed mainly at the topics of the
day and badinage of light and dry
character. Her age is from eighteen
to twenty-five years She never passes
the latter age. An OK team could not
make her. The Southern girls par
ticular speciality is dancing. She can
dance every dance under the sun, in
cluding all the tipups, kicks and run
ming races which have been invented
by the dancing master since dancing
was taken from the polite arts and

Let Us Stop to Think.
(OutlOOk.)

Let US stop to think of the good bye
kiss. Better miss a car than leave a
heart-ache.
Let US stop to think OF the children.
We, too, were children once and loved
TO be remembered.
Let US stop TO think Of the aged.
For US, too the evening shadows will
close at length and We shall, perchance
be left at desolate hearthstones. We
will need to be remembered then.
Let US stop to think Of the stranger.
We, too, have been alone and needed
the touch Of the kindly hand upon our
lives, and many life has gone out in
the blackness Of darkness for the lack
of such a touch as any one Of US nigh,
have given.
Let US stop and think Of God and
the future. At best the time is short
and the end is near. And when il
shall come, blessed will be he to whom
the entrance upon another life will be
but the realization of dear and familiar
dreams, the consummation Of a life
time Of longings. Let US stop to think
If there be any virtue. II there be
any praise, let US stop to think upon
these things.

1t would be an impossibili,y To quote

from them briefly and at random with

much an lnteger as a painting or a

not here choose and reject amid 50

PROCLAMATION.
This is in no sense a crl,ique of Pro-
lessor Stockard's poems. Analysis and
synthesis have no place where criticism
is lost in admira,ion-in delight. 1t
is but tribute to his worth and work

Bravely Battling.
(Orange Obseryer.) J

How we love the noble minded
large-hearted boys who are striving
bravely, manfully, to regain the mas
terry over the indexible conditions of
life, which adverse circumstances have
woven around them. Those broad
spirited boys who look beyond them
selves and out over all the wide world,
with desire, born Of God, to live for
good and useful purposes. Those lib
eral-minded, whole souled boys, who
look beyond the narrow confines of ig-
norance and selfishness, and beyond
the narrow teachings of youthful days
and years; and dare open their lips to
receive the inspirations Of knowledge
that come of thought. To noble,
striving boys all over our land. If
you wish to meet success remember it
is gained only by those who are brave
enough to form opinions of their own
and contend for them, and labor for
them, and hope for the realization Of
their desires born of the study Of their
faith in their own intentions.

Our hardest toll is plasure's chase;
