STRIKING SAYINGS OF THAT &c
CENTRIC BUT GIFTED MAN,
John RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE.

"Ihe low and base acts 90 which my
adversares have resorted, have not

Estimation
"My dear sir, there is another and
better world and TO IL alone can we
look without certainty Of disappoint-
ment, for conservation, for mercy, for
justice"
SIN spite OF me ! cannot help feeling
something very like contempt for my
poor foolish fellow-mortals and would
often consign them 10 Bonaparte in
this world, and the devil, his master
IN the next, but these are but tempo
rary tits of misanthropy which soon
give way 10 better and juster feelings"
"rhe House Of Representatives was
as odious to me AS the school room
was to truant boy. To be under the
dominion Of such wretches as with
few exceptions) comprise the majority
was intolerably irksome TO my feeling,
and although my present situation Is
far from enviable feel the value of
the exchange"
"What 1 like NJ for, is neither
his courtesy nor his intelligence but
certain warm-heartedness which Is

have expected to take orders, not so
much on account of his quitting

ness for gay life. am not sure that

me joy you need not, give il you can

God, and have assurance Of his par

which the very gates OF hell can not

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

There will be ,OO3 delegates in the
Democratic National Convention, or
l.OOS if tine representatives from the
philippines are seated. In the Re
publican convention there viii be 13Z
delegates.
This difference In number Is due To
Territorial representation. The Demo
cratic convention allows six delegates
each 10 Alaska, Arizona, District Of
Columbia. Hawaii, New Mexico and
Porto Rico. In the Republican con-
vention only Alaska, New Mexico
and Arizona are allowed six delegates.
The others. including the philippines,
have two each. In other respects the
basis Of representation Is the same
every State having two delegates Tor
each electoral vote
The unit i'm the Democratic conNen'
tion Is the State. in the Republican
convention, the Congressional dis
trict. Hence Democratic state con-
vention can instruct all the delegates
from that state To vote for particu'
lar candidate. a Republican state
convention can instruct only the iOul
delegates-at-large, and each Congres
sional district can instruct Us own ~,
delegates n il pleases.-N. \. World

Bio Tobacco Crop.

A correspondent Of the AppomaitoX
buckingham Times is authority for
the statement that Mr.. George Carter
one of the hustling farmers OF That
county. is striving to make this season
81. 900 pounds Of tobacco, and the
aforesaid "George" is in the habit OF
doing whatever he sets his head and
hands to do. Our one hope is that an
over-crop won't make an under-mar-
ket. Make it good whether it be one
or fifty acres.

Character In Walking.

Walking is almost as common as
breathing. eating and sleeping. yet
there are many people who do not
know how to walk Some loiter along
with half-dead. half-alive air. while
others madly rush as If but moment
of time was theirs.
Now, there Is much character in a
walk 1t should embody energy. ambi.
ton and enterprise and at the same
time grace and dignity.
To walk for health certain prepsra.
tions should be made. In cold wealth.
er the clothing should be warm but
not heavy. The clothing should be
loose. for a tight garment restricts
circulation. The skirt should be short
and the shoes should be low.heeled,
wide and thick soled.
Deep breathing goes hand.in.hand
with walking. and 1t is a good habit
TO breathe rhythmically. counting the
while.
