A Fe?Ht of Ilfuson and a Flow of Soul?C'nptaiuM Present M<>?lals. Editor Press and Banner:? On Tuesday night of last week a large number of the friends and admirers of the Hon. Isaac McCalla paid bim an ovation at bis beautiful country borne on tbe Savannah. It was about S-3U o'clock when the procession came to a halt In front of tbe house and called for the Senator. In that hearty, happy style characteristic of tbe man, Mr. McCalla responded to the demand of his lrlends, substantially as follows: "Fellow Friends:?My heart cordially responds to your pleasure. It Is a proud moment lor me, that I can come back to you iroin tbe greatest National Democratic Convention in the history ol this Republic, and confirm the press reports ot victory lor pure Democarcy. The Hues of battle, as you well know, were clearly drawn before the delegations met iu the gigantic coliseum of that mighty city. It was gold, or corporate wealth, on the one side, and silver, or the people, on the other I side. The tight was stubborn and unrelent Ing, but free silver swept the flelu like a tlUal I wuve. You need have no fear of the Judgment of j of the Convention In the selection 01 the man who has the standard of Democracy in his J heart audh and, and who Is so sure to Win the victory as that you are here to-nlgbt. His record is clean, his reputation ror indomitable courage is national, his principles are tbeoe of the lathers ol Democracy, his Intellectual Btrength is unsurpassed by any statesman on the Continent, and his suoline eloquence can't oe equalled. His great speech had much to do with his getting the nomination, but the ' real secret that gave him the high honor of rtrst place on the National ticket, 1b to be fouuu in the fact of his spotless character, his high conception of patriotism, and his matchless ability and courage to defend the cause of the people. Wllllamn J. Bryan will i not disappoint you as a candidate, he will not uifttiypuiub juu nucn uc uauuics uie uigucot executive orticer of this Nation; lor he is of the people, and when elected will be a people's President. . His running mate from Maine, Mr. Sewall, , has all the qualifications required for second \ place. It Is true he conies from the fur East, , but the light of the people's cause Is growing even there, aud you need not be surprised to see Maine in the silver column next Novem* , ber. , The ticket Is a strong one and a good one, < and I would not t>e true to you, my friends, If I failed on this occasion to congratulate you j upon the success you have attained In resiorlug Democracy to Its early place in the hearts and affections of the people of this Country. . The struggle you so gallantly made In South ( Carolina lor an administration to represent the wishes of the people was crowned with the most signal victory In 1890. You have had but one short time to.llve to see your ( cause sweep across this entire Nation, capture the machinery of the National Democratic Convention, and put your standard bearers already In a stone's throw of Washington. Behind thecloudBof the spoiler the aun of prosperity is shining, the embattled walls of , the tjhy locks are crumbling to the ground, otw) mhnn t Hzi Mnuom hop olo/>l Inn huu hoan H (X. clared, William J. Bryan will be tb6 PreBld- ( eat of a free people, whose freedom 1b not a mockery. In conclusion, let me thank yon for this compllnment you have paid me. If L appreciate anv thing more tnan another, It is that all I am I owe It to you, and If at any time I have failed to merit your approval, my friends, the fault was of the head but not of 1 the heart.' At the close of the Senators address the crowed was asked to take seats on the Dalcony. A number ol 'pleasantries were In- . iulged in during the evening, the Senator leading in most of tbem. A very amusing little incident oocured that, perhaps, it would not be amiss to relate In this connection. Mr. McCalla drew from his pocket four Bryan buttons, and calling to Mr. W. C. Shaw asked If he would not be kind enough to present them to the four ugliest persons In the crowd. After a very close inspection of all the laces present Mr. Sbaw's decision was announced, but for sweet charity's sake the unhappy fellows will not be exposed. In delivering bis decision Mr. Shaw said, that there might be some objection offered to the style in which he would present the prizes to the fortunate winners, but that he did not think any one present would take exceptions to bis Judgment In the matter. au Diauaiato ictvau iinu uccu u; the delightful boytess, Mrs. MoCalla, and was enjoyed lo the very brim by every one present. Too much cannot be said or tbe nice way in which Mrs. McCalla provided this elegant supper, and the graceful inauner In whicti it was served. The Senator treated his friends to eloquence ind festivity, but his good wile did better, she :ave tbera meal and drink and seut them ofl' rejoicing. C. T. B. LouuUeHvllle S. C., July 20th 189C.

Donald and Marguerite came home com kindergarten, swinging hands nd singing shrilly the son* of "The 'V? rinirrpl in Iho hnllnor anil At ___ uwl?? uco All IUC r fi ack porch they stopped short. Right i front of them was a big pan filled dth great green sbiny pods. "Look at their thick stems! and what re tbey anyhow ?" Donald asked. "Peppers," said mamma; "moun? ain bell peppers," and with a sharp nife she cut out a little circle around he f-tem, and thei> proceeded to dig way the small, yellowish-white seeds. * am going to stuff them with chopped . v abbage, and then sew on these little ids and put them in a jar of strong 3 'inegar." , ii "I think they're real pretty !" ex- * claimed Marguerite, putting her wee & nqulsitive nose a little nearer the \ >an. "See ! there's one with a bright 'Ptl ^trPAk in it "That's riper than the others," said namma. "They're fire-red when luite ripened." "Are they! Oh, give us one?panh ii u9!" cnimed tbe children, while Marguerite added, "We'll keep them ill they get red, then, with the lid on ihem, they'll be the cunningeat, tawn- :) ,y jars, and we can keep our strings of ihorn-apple beads in them P' k "My ! my!" laughed mamma, "I juess not! You children mustn't even ,ouch these peppers!" . . "Why?" Donald asked, dolefully. "Oh, they'll make you smart, and -"but just then Peggy came to tell ".Jfl namraa that the minister had oome ^ or an afternoon call. V-,.When the ehildren were alone'they JS ooked at the pan of peppers and then' * it each other. '^SB "What did mamma mean by 'making is smart," said Donald. "I guess she meant learning things sasy," said Marguerite, wisely. "I ' leard Ethel Green say that Jimmy vas real smart at rlffentick." ' i iQhoM ? ? % KJUV \J IU1U& mama-a want us to oe imart," said Donald, in injured tones. "Well"?and Marguerite's little jrown face, with its black eyes and red jheeks, glowed with a sudden adven;urou8 spirit?"well, anyhow, I'm gong to see what those peppers taste j ike! Let's each take one or the seeds -such teenty-tawnty things can't do my harm!" Two pairs of fat little hands rumnaged among the peppers until'they ound one with the lidoff, and a seed vas selected. But the seed got no farther than the wo red mouths?and then, oh. then, iow they bit and stung and burned. ike fire! Then the peppery hands ubbed lips and chin, and that made natters worse! . >:$j$ "Oh ! oh ! oh ! it's hot!' howled Donild, dismally. ? "Boo! hoo ! hoo ! its burny!" sobbed Marguerite. * At the sound of the wails mamma lame running out?and Peggy, and tven the minister and his wife; and sverybody talked, and one person adrised one thing, and another said omething else, and Rover got up from lis rug and barked loudly; so you can magine the confusion. Pr?n?ntlv eggy brought a big piece of ice from he refrigerator, aud Donald sucked >ne end of it and Marguerite the other, md that cooled the pain somewhat, hough the tears still rolled down their iheeks, and their lips were red aud iwollen. , And after a little, when vaseline and :old cream had made them still more . iomfortable, Marguerite said, in a ? juivering little voice, "You^-you said t would make us smart.'" "Well, it did, didn't it?" said namma, and then everybody, even the wo little pepper victims, laughed. / -l5i An Interesting Problem. There was once a wise king who was iwfully curious. He was possessed of i desire to know everything, and was jontinually asking questions. Indeed,, lis thirst for knowledge carried him to far that he wanted to know the age >f every person he met. But. being a sing, he was exceedingly polite, and .vould resort to strategy to gain his mds. One day there came to the court a jray-haired professor, who amused the ting greatly. He told the monarch i number of things that he never mew before, and tbe King was aeighted. But finally it came to the point when the ruler wanted to know ;he age of the professor, so he thought if a mathematical problem. "Ahem!" said the king. "I have in interesting sum for you : it is a trial in mental aritbemetic. Think of the number of the month of your birth." Now the professor was sixty years )ld, and had been born two days before [Jhristmas, so he thought of 12, De- . jember being the twelfth month. ? "Yes," feaid the professor. "Multiply by 2," continued the king. IIV'm M "Add 5." "Yes," answered the professor, do,ng so. * * \f A nr mnlf inlti fltof Kf? f\A " XI VTT UiUlbl|^l T VUMV WT "Yes." "Add your age." "Yes." "Subtract 305." "Yes." "Add 115." "Yes." "And now," said the king, "might [ ask what the result is ?" "Twelve hundred and sixty," repled the professor, wonderingly. "Thank you," was the king's response. "So you were born in Dejember, sixty years ago, eh ?" "How in the world did you know," 3ried the professor. "Why," retorted the king, "from /our answer?1260. The mouth of your birth was the twelfth, and the last two figures give your age. "Ha, ba, ha!" laughed the professor. 'Capital idea. "I'll try it on the next person I meet. It's such a polite way jf finding people's ages.V He who has health has hope, aud he who has hope has everything. It it only the man is faithful to Gfod who is a true friend to himself. To bring out the very best that God> lias put iu us, the motive mnst be love. Like rain upou the thirsty earth is ;he Holy Spirit's power in a longing lieart. Look out lor the man who makes a jpecialty of poiuti ng out faults in other folks. How often we must needs go down through the valley to reach the peaks oeyond. How soon the soul starves when it begins to look at everything through ? money. The man who makes a profession lhat he does not live compels himself " to live a lie. We ought to do that which ]b good, and that which is good ought to be done well. All God's children have two footmen goodness and mercy, following on be hiud tbem.
