tiOns and then reproach them
for not embracing honorable
professions. We long forbade
them to possess land. and we
complain that they chiefly &C.
cupy themselves in trade. We
shut them out from all the paths
of am bition. and then we despise
them for taking refuge in avarice.
But were they always a mere
money changing, money getting,
mOney-hording race? Nobody
knows better than my honorable
friend that there is nothing in
their national character which
units them for the highest du-
ties of citizens. He knows that
in the infancy of civilization
when our island was as savage
as New Guinea, when letters
and arts were still unknown to
Athens, when scarcely matched
hut stood on what was after
ward the site of Rome, this con-
demned people had their fenced
cities and cedar palaces, their
splendid temple, their fleets of
merchant ships, their schools of
sacred learning, their great
statesmen and soldiers, their
natural philosophers, their his
torians and their poets. What
nation ever commended more
manfully against overwhelming
odds for it's independence and
religion? What nation ever in
it's last agonies gave such signal
proofs Of what may be accom-
plished by brave despair? \
Let US do justice to them. Let
US open to them the door of the
House of Commons. Let US
open to them every career in
ability and energy can be
Till we have done
this, let US not presume to say
that there is no genius among
the countrymen of Isaiah, no
herOism among the descendants

them from damage and destrucs

thinos very much of his attention
when he lived here, in fact he was
the originator and founder Of the
parks in Union City, and it is, Of
course, very natural that he should
notice a dereiicticn OF duty on our
part when he returns to the city.
Mr.. Perkins sometime ageaS9ade
to US what we thought a veasr val
liable suggestion with reference to
the parks, and that was that a
commission be appointed by agree
ment between the n, c. & st. L.
Ry. and the city council, whose
duty it will be to see that the parks
are kept in proper shape, to be
supplied with appropriations for
that purpose made jointly from
these two sources. Mr.. Perkins
is gentleman of progressive and
liberal spirit and we hope to see
=
these suggestions adopted. A lack
Of interest in these things shows
decline and decay in business as
we'll as public improvement, but

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Z
| Those who desire q parcels post
are pleased to see that this innoya-
ltion is being advocated more and
more by the press of both parties.
although the Democratic papers
are more in favor OF it than are
the Republican. After the subject
| is much discussed and the public
| Iossiizos tho b benefits Of such a sys-
tenn the determined opposition Of
the express companies will be ov
ercome. The greatest ally of the
companies in their fight against a
parcels post is Senator Platt, Re,
publican from New York, who is
president of the United States
Express Company.
The practicability of parcels
post is demonstrated by the fact of
its existence IN Germany, England
and other countries of Europe for
many years. The case of Germany
is the most instructive. Here any
package weighing not more than
fifty kilos (more than 100 pounds)
can be sent by post, to any part Of
the Empire. The cost of transport
tation is far less than ordinary ex
press charges in this country. The
goods are transported and deliy-
cred more quickly. In even the
smaller cities post wagon goes
around each day to collect the
packages without extra charge.
AS the post Offices are better dis
tributed than the express Offices,
the sending of packages by post is
more convenient. In Germany it
is possible to order goods from the
city and have the money for them
as we'll as the transportation
charges collected by the postman
on delivery.
Those who live in the country
are especially benefited by the
parcels post. Many industries can
exist in the country merely be-
cause the parcels post enables them
to send their goods to the cities
promptly and at slight cost. Eggs,
butter and poultry are some of the
objects which are sent to the Ger
man cities in this manner. In
return the country people can or
der anything they desire from the
city. Ia fact the parcels post in
Germany is the cause of an exten-
sive internal trade between small
industries all over the Empire.
Those in this country, who for
selfish reasons oppose q parcels
post, argue that it would cost the
government great deal and also
that the postofice should not enter
the domain of private enterprise.

PLEASANT HILL.
1t has been said that mans
character is like a bank note, blot
does not change its value; and a
woman's character is like postage
stamp, a small blot destroys its
whole value. Of all the despicable
things on earth the most to- be
dreaded is the tatt1er. The good
and the bad alike are the victims Of
their lying tongues. They come
with their howery deceit, with melt
ed sugar on their tongues, leaving
the impression that they are your
friend only to gain your full conf
dence and draw fromyour unguard-
ed conversation hint or rumor
that they can use as foundation
on which to build their air castles
of falsehoods. They are posted on
all the loose gossip of the neighbour
hood and do not hesitate to repeat
it at each opportunity. We have
seen some otherwise intelligent
people who are very poisonous
along this line. They do not seem
to realize the fact that they are
lowering themselves in the estima-
ton of the better class of people byl
INDUCING in this shocking, low
down calling, and they do not only
encourage gossip but will tattle 4
little themselves in a confidential
way, and often try to blot some fair
name. The world would be much
better and wiser if all would so live
as to exert a good influence over
their associates, and if we would
only trust in Gods word for sniff
cheney of his grace he would enable
us to overcome every obstacle in our
way on our march to victory.
We have heard that the way to
become hero was to make a hero
out of some one else. Now we
have been doing that all our life.
We measured up the other night
