( Miss Ecse Elizabeth Cleveland's new j, poer. is entitled "The Dilemma of the j ( Nineteenth Century," and consists of j j forty-one stanzas of ten lines each. It j J is written in Spencerian metre, similar i. to the jingle or Byron's "Don Juan," j although It bears no resemblance to , that production. It would be fairer to ' Miss Cleveland, perhaps, to say that sho , has taken the "Faerie Queene" as her model for an allegory of the present , day. The dilemma, of "course, is the woman question, and the poem begins: Judith ~r>n Stump fell sick, or fell to ailing; That -sv?s as clear as day to any one: And it -was settled Judith's health -was failv . ing? That something vras the matter, something must be done. And so a meeting of the wise physicians, Of either sc-x, was called upon to sit In counsel upon Judith's sad condition, Anu charged to find a speedy curc for it. From far and near they came, and saw, and s s sat! ? ? ----- M -i ...l?^ Oi conquering l speaK not; you suau juu^c ot that. Doctors o? all kinds come at the call v of every school and age, of either sex, who find upon investigation thess facts in Judith's case: Her parents were plain, respectable people who went to church in*pleasant weather. Or when it happened that a rain was failing, On papa's stock, why then it is not queer. They kept the Sabbath day at home in calling On God to rain salvation far and near. The Sunday columns of the New York WeekGospel of Jruth, they read, too, at this time, Receiving ail its wise instruc!ions meekly. And both declared 'twas excellent, 'twas prim';. Thus, by this wise hebdomadal arrangement, r.ii??- oorl oc^finoru xircrv vaiuv iv IUVOW VAWVO iiv v^v?.v*^0vment. In such ail atmosphere Judith was nourished and then seat to a boardingschool, where she learned such things as young ladies should know, and was linally graduated, and "read with nice articulation, her vale tied with ribbons in between." She afterwards emerges as a butterfly of fashion backed by her papa's gold, and "cracked a dczen hearts and broke a couple." However, Judith was not cruel, as she always said "she didn't mean to hurt 'em?' Years roll on, and Judith is 21, and tli9 review 01 ner past me is uone. At this point Miss Cleveland adorns the page with asterisks, and the reader is at onco ushered into a' meeting; of disagreeing doctors. This is their diagnosis: We 2nd tbis wcnan Existing without life, at twenty-one: Possessing all those forces whicu a human Mature can boast. The patient should be Sg "v-- one In robust health. Upon investigation We li:id the nervous centres and the brain A little strained: local ossification Threatens the heart, and yet no trace of 3s to be found. In fact, we are not sure Of cause, and therefore find, as yet, no At this there is much discussion, one doctor saying that the woman is in love; another declares that she needs a husband and family to occupy her time, and another physician prescribes exercise in the open air. The next v. ho sained a hearing was a woman, Of visage resolute and purposo feli, Who now proclaimed, in accents superhuman: "The true cause of this illness I can tell, And will. Our patient is a sufferer From man's injustice; You will please to uotc The cause, 'tis soon explained, and 'tie enough, sir. To make a woman sick, sir, not to veto. She never toid her grief, yet how it cankers! Give her the ballot, sir; Fcr this she hankers." Immense applause follows this advice, nAr?^nr?'An +]-?/ * autiiz; ^Ui-Li-Uoivy.u. HJLV; aunuvx, who has net appeared before, falls asleep and dreams thai she is walking on a ladder stretched across the gulf. S|-;? She finds it impossible to get to the other end of the ladder, and continues: -A- The night dre~ on; Backward I could cot turn trembling and 1 fell, and failing -woke. My dream -was gone! Gone -were the doctors, gone the crowd. All And of the patient naught could I discover. Then follows ten more asterisks and the moral begins: Ah.

As a counter remedy to the prescriptions of "yeasty quacks'" Miss Cleveland boldly announces her creed: 3Iy creed is short and easy of digestion, Provided you possess those organs sound, And eager to discuss the iv-omitr. question, A subject strong and tough, as I have fouad. I do believe a woman is a creature Sent forth of God to run the race of iifa As free of choice as man in every feature And Dhase of this most nob'e strife. The man has brain, and soul, and body; woman The same; and this makes up the human. , The author says very emphatically that a man is just precisely want his food trill make him. For instance, if your palate has been tickled by cabbage: The cabbnsre, then I say, herbivorous sinner. You'll find yourself a cabbagehead pro tem. * Cabbage you'll talk, or, if you live by scribb:ing. You'll think and write just what you have been nibbling-. . In fact, all through Miss Cleveland | ' seems to have great" contempt for the unfortunate creature known as a man, !and proceeds to score him most unmercifully at every chance. Witness the following. After announcing that, if ? you know a man's diet: You can't mistake him; < Of course you understand I moan by diet : Just all that feeds the man in head and Omitting not the stomach; for deny it Who "wiiJ, the liver regulates no meagre part.

So much flirtation, some few printed asininities, KtftPtera. pf?r>tprji m And if you strictly follow out your plan, You'll have that "thing of hair and ncck- J ties" called a man. i Miss Cleveland evidently feels that she has been severe upon * the rnaseu- ] lines, and proceeds to reprove the i "humpy, pretty women oi the period" i in rather a wild manner.

I have read a good deal about the iamage done in late years by chinch bugs, army worms, curculio. borers and Dther insects "too numerous to mention;" but few of the writers seem to Ihink or be conscious of the real reason tor tne increasing nuniDersau juaxiuiLucess of these pests. But we do not have to go far to find the reason, and it is found in the widespread and outrageous destruction of our birds. Think of the snormous number of small birds required to deck ladies' hats nowadays: and of the ruined crops of hundreds^f farmers and fruit growers in the United States, and ask if the latter is not the result of the former. Of course it is; no one will or c^n dispute it. What is to be done? Something; and no time should be lost in doing ik The American Humane Societv is, I think, doing - j??? i a good wort in mis direction, auu i would in time blot out the bird-killing business, especially as an adjunct to the millinery trade of the country; but it cannot work a reform soon enough to satisfy the pressing necessities of the agricultural interests. We must appeal to law to stop this indirect hatching and raising of myriads of insects to destroy the crops of the farmer, fruit grower and market gardener. I do not think a law against catching birds would do much good, for it would not be enforced-; but I think a law prohibiting milliners, both wholesale and retail, from hamP'ng these ghostly ornaments would have the desired efTcct, and i??? witix sued a law we migm, ia uu.'(.% ua,*e our birds as plentiful and useful as they were a few years ago, before this bloody war on them began. But small biras are not the only insect eaters that are being exterminated for frivolous purposes. The prairie chickens are falling by the thousand by the ruthless hand of the market shooter ?that vile blot upon the human race; 1 cruel as a liend; grasping as a miser; j lazy as a sloth; brainless as an idiot,and for harmfulness ranking next to the devil himself. Why allow this low-lived specimen of humanity to ply his dastardly and destructive work under the very nose of the farmer he is injuring? Why not send him to the poorhouse. asylum or penitentiary, where he could be" kept with much less expense to the farmers, who are now supporting him? But here is a point that puzzles me. Is it the shot, the blood, the broken bones, or the feathers, that makes prairie chicken meat such a delicacy? If tame fowl were brought on the table in the condition in which the prairie chicken is usually served, it would be considered entirely unfit to eat; so I don't think the epicurean public would u,.A ,-f nr*irio cnonfirnr UIUV^U ii. 1^/kiUiiv vs*-i h. should be prohibited by law the year round, for at least five years, and longer if the birds were not plentiful enough at the end of that time. I thmk there would be little or no objection to such a law. Every sportsman in the United States would like it, and of course every farmer would commend it; even the market shooter would endorse it if he had brains enough to comprehend its advantages, for now he can hardly earn fifty cents a day, owing to the scarcity of game, while live years of this law would be likely to leave a flock of the birds on every ten-acre lot. Don't say they would injure the crops then; surely no candid person can think that. Erom April 1st to July 15th there is no grain for them to get, so during that time they are waging a war of extermination upon a great many kinds of harmful insects, and when the grain does i rtATvio tliotr c+H] nrpfpr for thfl most of their food, and only pick a little grain to season the insects that, but for tnem, would do more damage on an acre than the birds would do on ten. Then the grain is harvested inside of two weeks after it becomes eatable for them, when they have to fall back on insects again. Now here is a chance for some law maker to cover himself all over with glory. Who will come to the front and save the farmer's crops from the ravages of insects, and the birds from the merciless hunter??/. K. McBroom, in Farm, Stock and Home. Laying the Foundations. An old man. aged eighty, died in a cave in a range of mountains in Pennsylvania last summer. He had subsisted for years by begging, living on broken victuals, and carefully hiding the money given him. Alter his death, i lnrcro imni-mf- .~>f silver was rHsr>r>vprpd buried in the cave, with government bonds and certificates of stock. His son, who was a cripple, he had allowed to die in the county almshouse. An old man who knew him in his youth, said,? "His father taught him to cheat at marbles for pennies. He was trained fn iarn f V. o f t^oro ttroc r>n xrohia in IV WV?1JV T V VUv?V UUVi V M UJ UV v UA UV AM education, in religion, in the affections, in the decencies, in the happiness of life,?in nothing, in short, but money." The heir to one of the great ducal estates of England was disposed, when a boy, to be extravagant and sensual. Eis mother would not allow his tutors to curb him. "It is the effervescence of youth," she said. "It will pass away in time." Last summer the palaces, galleries of famous pictures, and lands renowned in English history, belonging to an old and honorable family, were sold under the hammer to pay his debts, while he, a broken-down gambler and voluptuary, srept out ox siguc 10 jc rauce. If a young mail could but look forward thirty or fifty years, and see himself when the passions which seem so harmless now have done their work upon him! A so-called magician in London has been coining money lately by showing to each visitor who consults him the picture of his own death. One young ad saw himself as a bloated old man, lying of apoplexy; another lay on a ield of battle, shot to the heart; a gay rirl saw a wrinkled, gray figure stretch-" id upon a bed, surrounded by weeping riends. The trick was the result of an nstantaneous photogr::r>h taken aa the -isitor entered, with the addition of sostume and background. But if each boy could in reality so ace old age, but for one moment, there 70uld be little need ei sermons to warn dm from his besetting vice. More than one man has been saved rora final ruin by a single observing :lance at himself in a mirror. Ho was urned from evil courses by seeing what ie had already become. I he lesson rould be even more startling if one ould see what still further indulgence a vice would mako of him.?Youth's 1 Companion. Chestnuts.

Aiyt VAajj uyv/A.* the result in Ohio this fall, but upon the s, action and drift of the sentiment of the p State Convention soon to meet. A recent ? conversation which the President had with u a friend shows the accuracy of his political e judgment. He was referring to the rela v tive strength of the prominent men mentioned for the Republican nomioation. He J did not think Mr. Blaine had gained anything in the States where he was weak last time, and taking the views of the most cofriMAiio T)?>mnr>rntiV managers as author- ^ ity, lie thought he would be easily defeated, c He referred to Senator Sherman as weak e with the active men in the labor movement, i as they regard him as the special champion h of capital. His strength, he thought, was e not as great in his own State as supposed, e This fact has since been demonstrated by & the reported action of a county convention, g where a resolution indorsing him for the j Presidential nomination was tabled three r to one. He did not regard the others men- v tioned as possessing any aggressive strength in New York, New Jersey or Indiana. The gentleman with whom this conver- , sation was had was very much surprised ? when the President intimated that he regarded General Sheridan as the strongest a man the Republicans could nominate and E very clearly indicated that he would feei more anxiety over the campaign with Sher- " idan at the head of the opposing ticket than Blaine, Sherman or Allison. The prominent politicians from the North c and South wiio iiave Deen in irequent consultation with, the President during the t past few weeks notice a marked change in f his manner of treating the Democratic ? Presidential nomination next year. He evidently realizes that not only is his renomination a thing assured, but that between himself and the rank and file of the c. masses of the people there is at present no s one who might be considered a probable ] candidate. It has transpired that the tfriends of Governor Hill have abandoned v any further expectation of an outside move- k ment in his behalf. They have concluded _ that after all their manoeuvring for position ? not to have a single response from any lo- S cality outside of New York and a doubt by a large majority of being able to get th'e support of his own delegation presents a poor showing. Accordingly, they have served notice of their hearty co-operation ? with the friends of the President in giving t] him a unanimous support. g An interesting disclosure has just been ^ made of a systematic effort inaugurated last winter to organize an opposition to the President's renomination. The scheme, A which had its origin among some influen- a tial politicians.in Washington, was carried to the extent of sending out a number of confidential communications to persons presumed to be displeased with the Presi- - dent's higher interpretation of his official duties and responsibilities. After waiting a long time for replies there was a suspf- c cious silence in the expected uprising of ? opposition which struck the plotters with * a disposition to crawl into their holes. The Q amusing part was that the whole scheme 0 was known to members of the administra- * tion and the results were followed up with J[ interest. The gentlemen who were run- ri aing the concern are ready to dispose of ir their political right and interest in this ad- e: ministration and the men who were so 1 backward in coming forward are thanking w iheir stars for preferring crow to convic " ;ion. In every direction the coast is clear ai for Cleveland this time 12 months and be- ^ ;ween this and then the marshaling of the forces will go on. & ti> t'lbOl'TK CAROLINA SEWS. 01 A cornet is to be added to the music of ^ the Marion Methodist Church.
