Shrewd Old Man. | The Brooklyn Eagle tells of this 1 conversation: 1 \ "You're an old married man. What J do you do when your wife begins to ' scold?" - * "Encourage her. I talk back?discreetly, of course. 1 say tantalizing 1 things. 1 make foolish excuses. I 6 stammer and get husky." "But doesn't that make her a good ? deal madder?"'" 18 "Of course it does. That's the in-1 c > lenuon. 1 want uer iu gci ?u mau that she won't have any voice left to 1 ask me for money." "Ge, I wonder if I'll ever get as 1 hardened as that!" 8 - J A Ileal Cure-Ail. s a It is the cheapest of all remedies, j It is not patented or controlled by the trusts. ^ It is guaranteed not to disturb the c ' y digestion.

Knight is an exceptionally capable z man and deserves that or any other ? good place that any one can give f him. He has been with me nine t years and I will hardly know how to f get along without liim. but his hold I ? on his present office depends on my f life and as my health is poor 1 will \ 5 not stand in the way of his getting1 this life job if it is offered him. t I have joined with the balance of i the delegation in endorsing .Mr. C. 1 J. Lyon, of Abbeville, for the mar- : shal's place. That is all there is to t this '"cock and bull story" about it a ; ' being a "family affair." Candid Acknowledgment. a Candor compels me to acknowledge this: That but for my impaired health and the esteem in which 1 am held by my fellow senators, I could . not have done what I did; and in- ^ stead of South Carolinians caviling and carping they ought to be glad c I , they have a man in Washington who cati win the friendship and respect of his colleagues of both political par? ties and wield an influence, notwith- ^ > standing his health is gone. Candor also compels me to acknowledge that I do not believe there is any other man in the senate who could -have done this thing under the | circumstances: and I am bold enougi to say I am proud of the job, for it gives us a good Democratic judge in the Western district who will be held i for life, and it gives us the prospect >" ? of three new public buildings in this State?one at Greenwood, one at Rock Hill and one at Ajkeu. f Byrnes is tickled to death every time he talks about it and wonders r how the lynx-eyed Republicans in j the house allowed it to go through in \ ^ that shape.

Fourth brigade. Canadian expeditionary force, which was thrown overboard in midocean from he Royal Edward on October 12 last, ivas picked up at Anglesley Valley, Vorth Wales, or. January 21. It was sent by the finder to a friend )f the lieutenant, to whom it was iddressed, at Drayton. It was 101 ia-ys drifting in the ocean.?New fork Sun. lawlessness at Sea. By stopping all commerce with Sermany, Great Britain and France ire as lawless as Germany, although lot so blood-guilty. They will respect the lives of passengers and ;rews and they will not destroy ships. Their object is to prohibit all trade :o and from Germany and in carrying lut that policy the commercial rights if neutrals will be ignored or vioated. Like the German submarine parol of British coasts, this amounts :o a blockade without assuming the -esponsibilities of a blockade. It is lot effective and it is not continuous, [f the allies, on pleas of necessity ind reprisal, may hold up neutral ommerce in waters adjacent to heir territory, they need be under 10 restraint in any one of the seven seas. Such an assumption bears ,too plose resemblance to the British orders in council and the decrees issued by the French emperor during :he Napoleonic wars in 1806'7 to be popular in this country. It was the >utrageous enforcement of the no:orious paper blockades of that period which was one of the causes of he war of 1S1 2 between the United States and Great Britain. The British orders in council prolibited trade between the United States and any port in Europe from .vhich British were excluded. Napoleon's final decree declared t all ships good prize that should touch it or set sail for or from Great Bri- , ain or any of its colonies. In this high-handed manner Amercan ships were practically outlawed ;ven in our own waters. Referring o the situation then existing, Jeffer;on said that "England had become ; t den of pirates and France a den >f theives." ( At that time it was the Napoleonic policy to embroil Great Britain with he United States, for the British lavy was as troublesome to him then is at present to Kaiser Wilhelm. Vre the rulers of Great Britain quite rirtrmonio Cll^OCCfir ilire .\apuieuu 3 VJCI un?ii.v ouvvv .. is the military autocrat of Europe las no such object in view now? With international law practically viped out by the belligerents, the inly landmarks visible are those that existed before nations attempted very ; ;eriously to make laws for them;elves. All of these, especially such ts remain from Napoleonic times, inlicate clearly that Europe is making he same mistakes today that it did i century ago. If Great Britain had blockaded Jermany at the beginning of the var, it probably would have forced he great sea fight which it professes o much desire. If not, it would iave given Germany no opportunity tnd no excuse for declaring a war 1 one. It would have bottled up its Ldversary as we bottled up tne uonederacv in 1861-65. The explanahat this was not done because of eaj* of submarines is neither crediileWr creditable. Great Britain has i iad the enemy's submarines at its * ery doors ever since. When all warring nations prefer ( o operate in defiance of law, placng the blame upon each other, it is lighly important that neutrals should liake their own attitude so plain ; hat it cannot he misunderstood, ind. having done so, to maintain it vith all the firmness of which they ire capable.?New York World. Attacked and Took Prisoner. ( A certain captain having been orlered on foreign service, gave a fareveil dinner to his regiment. Addressing the men before they ? ommenced to eat, he said: "Now, lads, treat this dinner as I ou would an enemy." After dinner he discovered Private i ?nhinsnn stowine bottles of cham- 1 >agne away in a bag. Highly incens-j' >d, the captain asked him what he neant by such conduct. 1 "Why, sir." said Robinson, "I'm >nly obeying orders." ( "Obeying orders?" roared the capain. "What do you mean?" "Yes. sir," was the answer. ""You old us to treat the dinner like an! nemv, and you know. sir. when you I neet an enemy, those we don't kill' re take prisoners."?Exchange.
