The Rise Of De Bloch.

the author of ''The War of the Fu-
ture," great work which has had
a profound influence on public opin-
ION in Europe, removes man of SUI
perior intellect. He was a Polish
Jew and began life at Warsaw as a
peddler and taught himself to read
and write. 1t is interesting to note
that his start in life came from
drawing a ten thousand dollar prize
in a local lottery. He used this
money to procure sound educa-
ton, going to Berlin, where he en-
gagged a Frenchman and an English
man as tutors. He returned to War

A Genial Encounter,
1CoDtiuuCd next week

The cars last visit to France has
filed the French papers with remi-
niscences of his former stay.
One day he drove incognito to the
house of Loubet, then president of
the senate, and while his companion
went in to announce the visit he
amused himself by putting his head
out of the window and looking at
the people who passed.
A whistling street boy approached
and recognized him in spite of the
plainness of his equipage. He stop
ped, took off his cap and said cheer
fully: Good day, sir. How is the
empress?"
The car was naturally surprised,
but he replied, with a smile
"Thanks, young man. The en-
press is quite well and has enjoyed
the trip very much"
The boy seemed glad to hear it,
nodded and went whistling away.

Constant Quillebert was no weakling
There was no lack of vigor in his char
acter. His was a strong mentality, his
vision straight, though his courses
were oblique or tortuous. Neither was
he the passive creature of circum-
stances nor yet mere form nodded by
environment. Such as he was he made
himself by the exercise of volition,
forcing his selective power into each
trait of his character and every phase
of his life. He could without strain of
reason have been a pious churchman,
but preferred to defy priestcraft, and
from choice, not conviction, became a
saucy infdel. Wife and children would
have sobered and Softened his progress
to the grave had he wlled. but dOmes-
tic restraints were as diStasteful as
moral limitations, and hence he scoffed
at matrimony. Nothing was less diff
cult or expensive than to become an
American citizen, entitled to political
rights and honors equally with his
neighbours; but, weighing the induce
mentS on either side of the proposition,
he refrained from swearing fidelity to
the constitutions and laws which pro-
tected him and his accumulations and
remained the subject of foreign po-
tentate. His genius and accomplish
ments would have enabled him to
achieve by approved industry and COM
mendable methods competency, even
wealth, in the generous country where
he dwelt, yet chicanery, commerce in
the failings of his fellow men and free
booting excursions to the horizons of
the law appealed to him more cogently,

His Maiden Speech,

"The papers," says the Kansas
City Journal, care all talking about
the maiden speech just made by
Charley Scott in congress. As a
matter of fact the maiden speech of
Charley Scott was made nine years
ago last June. 1t was in a parlor at
lola, and he got up awkwardly from
a chair, pulling a tidy and half the
books on the parlor table to the
floor, after which he got down on
one knee before a sofa which stood
between the whatnot and the piano
and asked Miss May Bevard Ewing
if she would have him. And the
cordially with which his perora-
ton was received on that occasion
makes even the fattering reception
which was accorded his effort in
congress the other day appear like a
frost"

so eloquent to stir popular wrath in
Louisiana as the word "abolitionist."
Its exposition came from a press and
hastings which were at one upon the
slavery question, and its definition was
confined within the synonymous scope
of 'hypocrite," assassin" INSURED
zionist" "house burner" "negrophile."
Its blight upon the name of man was
as subtle and sure as that Of dishonor
upon the fame of a woman. And the
rancorous and intolerant, the quickest
to respond in fury to the hated word
were the very poor whites inhabiting
the infertile highlands. who never own

sentiments have their extreme expo

would be least damaged by its accom-

law and fact alone, the issue would be

other influences must be brought to
bear upon the contest, and ready to his
hand lay the anti-American prejudice

of Oakfell triumphing over him stung
as an OK lash. The barrenness and I'M

to exertions and inspired tactics which
were revelations Of endurance and in
genuity.

farmer residing one mile from this vii

and 10 month old child as they slept

morning. He used an axe as his weapon.
The mothers condition is critical. Kill
len afterward fled to FELTON,. where he
surrendered himself and was sent to
Jail by Sheriff Reedy.
The members of the family were
awakened at o'clock by screams from
the mothers room, and Cora killen, a
daughter, rushed into the room just as
the father was striking his wife blow
af er blow with an axe OH the face and
head. The daughter sprang at him and
took the weapon. dripping with blood,

political friends. but last night Mr..

the report is without foundation, there

Judge David w. Sloan of this circuit,

combination, has remained a friend of
both men and frequently meets both;
but, despite contrary reports, has made
no attempt to bring the men together.
Friends of Senator Wellington here
say that he has gone back to the Repub-
lican party. Senator Mathew 5. Quay
has been cultivating Wellington of late
and, it is understood. has been asking
his assistance i'll certain measures.
When Wellington was the chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee some years ago he accused Quay
of sending repcaters from Philadelphia
to Baltimore to help German. Quay
called Wellington IAN ass" and until
recently had nothing to do with him.
Now he has need for him. When We'll
