Gladstone as a Boy.

William Ewart Gladstone, at the
age of IL, was the best looking boy
who ever entered Eton, and the
brightest fellow who ever left it.
He was always glad to claim men,
bership with one of the old families
of commerce, and to the last de-
clined alIhonors and titles offered
him by the queen, prefcrring to
remain cone of the people,"
His mother traced her ancestry
to the royalty of the fourteenth
century. She was woman of
very great accomplishments, and
exacted obedience from her six
children. Gladstone's earlier life
was passed under the direct care of
wise and watchful mother. Her
boys were required to perform
some manual labor, and to take
much physical exercise, and were
instructed in wood-sawing and
carving.
a mans treatment of his wife is
reflection Of his mothers memory.
In Gladstone's beautiful study,
called the "Temple of Peace" /"
were three desks-one for political
and business correspondence, one
for literary work and one for Mrs.
Gladstone, who was most dis
Greet, as we'll as able, woman, and
had not only the gift of silver
tongued speech, but of golden
silence when occasion required.

AN EMBARRASSED STUDENT,

MIR. Spurgcon used to tell a good
story about one of his divinity stu

to test the powers of the young
men for speaking, to give them, as
they were about to ascend the
pulpit, text to discourse about on
their own plan and in their own
words. This, Of course, was not
before an audience, but simply
among themselves for practice. On
the occasion referred to, he gave to

Ho Denles tho Social or PolItical Equality
OF tho Black Kace with tho Whito.
Wedgoiield, Jan. IL.

Charlotte, N. c., Jan. 1G.--Sonator
Morgan, Of Alabama, has replied to
the resolution recently passed by tho
Democratic executive committee of
Mecklenburg County, thanking him
for his speech against Senator Pritch-
ards resolution in the United States
Senate, declaring the proposed
amendment to the North Caro-.
lima Constitution unconstitutional
Senator Morgan writes in part as fol-
lows:
"The veneration in which we all
true Americans hold tho "birthplace
OF American independence and the
honor that belongs to the race of men
who first declared our independence,
impress me with the most sincere
gratitude far your approval Of my
effort to restore to them tho great
heritage bequeathed TO them by their
fathers.
"It is not becoming in the decend-
ants of such men to voluntarily sub
NIT their political destiny to the
condition of equality with the ne
gro race, and there is no legal
compulsion that requires of them
such dangerous and depraving humil-
iation.
"The people of the United States, at
the polls, will again declare your lib
erty and your equality with your own
ancestors, and will relieve you of the
insulting stigma that you are only the
political or social equals of the negro
race.

Independence would have never been
made if your fathers had supposed
that it would be 30 perverted and
abused as to reduce their posterity to
political or social equality with the

mont OF the Result

frankfort, Ky, Jan. 15.-Things
political are at fever heat in this
State now. The hearing of the
evidence in the contested election
cases began this morning. The
committee consists of one republican
and ten democrats, most of the dom
ocrats being Gobelites. The commit
tee to Investigate the Lieutenant
Governors consists of nine demo
Gratis and two republicans.
What is going to happen when the
final result is declared, are fruitful of
the most extravagant speculation, if
the adherents Of the contestees, the
Republican lncumbents Of the State
offices, carry out the line of proceed.
ure they are now threatening by re-
fusing to vacate even in case the leg
islature decides in favor Of the dom
ocratic contestants of some of the
men high in the councils of the
State are to be credited, this is what
they propose to do. X. j. Hamp-
ton, secretary of the republican State
central committee, said today that
the talk Of holding an anti -Goebel
State convention, was purely an in
ventlon but he predicted that several
thousand anti Goebel mon from all
parts of the State would be here to
protest by their presence against un-
seating Taylor and Marshal and to
sustain them if the legislature votes
to turn them out. He denied that
any of those now here are soldiers in
citizens clothes as charged by the
Goebel Democrats. James Andrew
Scott, one of the attorneys for the
contestants in minor State contests,
said tonight:
The importation of soldiers and
things here for the purpose of in
timidating the Legislature will not
work. They are bluffing and no
trouble will occur. AS for thoir
threats that they will hold on in
spite of the decision by the legisla
ture they may do this for few days,
but the courts would recognize the
regular State government and if Mr..
Taylor done 80 then give in, he will
subject himself to prosecution and
all the penalties of usurpation which
I have no idea he will want to en-.
counter"
Most Of the Democratic leaders
coincide.
