It Is perhaps a little loo early to laugh Mc 1 Laurin, of South Carolina to scorn. I The caricatures thatr picture him as beaten < and desparlng may be as premature as they 1 are present ly popular. From another point of view the South Carolina senator has played his cards with cousu- | mate skill aud Is yet to tie reckoned with In i the real crisis of the game. I I do not admire .Senator McLuuriu. < Neither bis personality nor ins record appeal to my respect, and 1 do aduiire the rugged old t populist lion who rules the Palmetto state. I Hut neither likes nor dislikes anould blind i ttie public commentator to lacls as they exist, ' iiud tne man who writer for accuracy rather thau partisan compliance will see that Tillman's colleague Is In a much heller position than he was a week ago. To my mind he has accomplished all thai be set out to do, and has done It most effectively, advertising his official station at the same time. Senator McLaurln has projected clearly, definitely and with dramatic effect upon the public opinion of South Carolina the Issues wblcb are Inevitably bound to divide the southern democracy. No combination of circumstances could have concentrated the South Carolina mind so Intensely upon these questions as the stirring events of the past lorlnlghl. The Issue is raised, clear and startiiug. It is Ihere to stay, to rankle, to revolve, to grow, uolll It Is settled al the ballot box. This in as it should be. That is the mean lug of the ballot?the mission of popular gov ' eminent. Now whether by good fortnne or by shrewd manipulation McLaurln has accomplished I his without losing hiR position, and In so doing he has emerged (rum the shadows of un- f ceitalnty that enveloped him and emerged . Into the dignity and repute or an accredited J leader of a very Interesting and vitally Important movement. Il would perhaps have been disastrous and J certainly unfortunate tor the junior senator 1 10 have put the lortunes of nis propaganda r In crisis at this time?so soon after its stale- f meul and with only a brief and hurried cam- 9 r?uiirn of <1 iroiikrlfiii to imuress his views udoii ' the people. Delay is of golden value to him. Time is tbe fuctor of atlvantage. The sixteen months between these issues and ballot. box may change the political complexion of South Carolina. Tbere Is no discounting the force and Importance ol AlcLaurrn's political views, nor ibe dlgolty ana Influence of tbe interests which support him. He is distinctly the leaderof an Increasing, Intelligent and rebolutely growing sentiment in the state. It must not be forgotten that South Carolina leads all tbe southern states In tbe proportionate advancement it has made in manufactures uudjiu agricultural developemenl. The "Hotspur of secession," the Harry Percy ol tbe Union," has become the industrial Massachusetts of tbe south. There is no southern state in which the new order of economic and of commercial policy finds a stronger and more practical endorsement than among the manufacturers and produc irs of the Slate of John C. Calhoun. The same drill oi interest that is loosening the loyalty of the east to the Baal of Protection, ib stirring among tbe industrial forces ol tbe south a rebelliou against tbe policies of negation aud sentiment that bave weakened the Democratic party. The age 1b commercial. The dollar Is dominant, and the trade winds are getting ready tojbiow the balots 1q a storm towards political organization which stands Tor the real material developement of these gulf and southeastern states. It may be delayed, and the battle of the practical and the prejudicai may be fierce, but it is sure to come, and out of It there will be, in some shape, a new birth of politics in all Ibis war-wasted, and Impoverished, but marvelously resourceful southern country. In this view of the case McLnurin, of South Carolina, bns at least done well, iu precipitating this conflict within the ranks of the Deui ocrallc party, instead of Joining foroes with the organization where name and history have so long been aniogonistic to southern i minds. It is better that the flrst buttle I should be fought Inside the party lines. It may be that the result, whatever it Is, will be < accepted, aud the party of the people will fall tnto line behind the new and progressive j Ideas of a totally changed and altered era. If so, all will be well. But if not, then we shall see?what only the "nigger in the woodpile" has kept us from seeing long ago?two distinct political parties . iu the south, watching aud restraining each other, appealing to an intelligent suff'erage for support on reasonanle lines, and developing the independent thought of the young south in an opeu forum of divided opln i ion. i There are greater misfortune which could befall IhiB section. The Ideas for which Mcraurln are militant and enduring. Whether they Involve the I wisest and soundest policies of the south, time will determine. But thai they represent, the Intelligent and determined conviction* of a vast number ol citizens and voters of the south cannot be ' gainsaid. That these men will cleave to these ' opinions Is not to be doubted. < Whst these men want Is not to Join liepub- < llcan parly to secure the adoption ol their ' views, hut to reasonably and honeRtiy per- ' suade the Democratic party to open its eyes ' to the chauged conditions of the time, and to ' plant Itself upou principles and policies that i conserve the material luterests of the people. ' The negro Is practically disfranchised In ' nearly every soutbern state, The shadow ol i blsek supremacy no longer Intimidates free | thought In Dixie. j If Democracy falls lu line with the spirit of | these larger times it will continue to win. j II not, some other party will win t he suffrages j of these southern stales because It will desdve j their Bupport. This is the logic of I be* situation. No scurry politician, without integrity, and merely scheming for personal advantage, will tie needed to lead this progressive move uient. For strong men of high rermle are ' plentiful and capable in ttie ranks of those who follow it. With a year and a half to wait, with abundance of ammunition, h commercial spirit, progressive era and h state thrllllDg with re m.uicf? and the ambition lor development, behind him, McLaurin tnay be pictured two years from u<?w in different colors from the cartoons that serve the hour at, this time. And ho SouthlCarollna mny lead a new secession. May the best man and the best policy win. Now is the time to buy your French Jars. We have them at the very lowest prices. Also have extra top.

My sole purpose In returning the resign tlou was to ask you gentlemen to consldi calmly aud thought fully the consequent to the people of what I judged to be a bast act and what you admit lo ba ?e been a has! act, and I must confess thai I am somewhi surprised at the tone of your answer to ra request. 1 consider the course which I took in th mutter to be for the hem Interests of the pe pie o( South Carolina and I am responsible I them alone lor mv action, and furthermore still believe thxt my course ha* met the a; proval of a tnaj-trlty of the citizens of th Stale, nor do 1 consider them "unthinklr cltlzeus," but.men who know and recognls as tully as any peop>e on earth the rights, di lies and responsibilities of citizenship and d not need the services of any one to tell tfcei their duty.

With due respect for your opinion, I t.bln [ have as high a conception of the office < tenator and its powers as you or any oth< ;ltlzeD of this State, and you must bav inowu that the brief Interview to which yo refer meant that would simply meet the r< iponslbillty and perforin my duty under tb jondl'.lons.

There are no precedents on this subject, b< lause In the one hundred aud twenty-flv fears of our national life with more than tw lundred resignations from the senate, no set nor has hitherto been willing to occupy tb lespicable attitude now assumed by Senato UnLaurln and forced on me. I am certain of one thing : that the execi ive of a State has no authority to decline eslgnatlon that bas been tendered and I as ouallv certain that bud your excellency coc ined your action within legal bouDds tha ,-our appointees would be seated lu the sec ite when that body meets in December an* lold their seats until the legislature shoul ict In January.

It seems to be a part of the real simplicity of the Italian Latin to put on a < quite useless look of mystery on all ooca- i 6lons, and to assume the air of a oonspir,1 ator when buying a cabbage, and more than one great foreign writer has fallen 1 Into the error of believing the Italian ; p. character to be profoundly complicated. ; ly One is npt to forget that it needs maoh ; deeper duplicity to maintain an appear- : ance of frankness under trying circumlt stances than to make a mystery of one's i marketing and a profound secret of one's J. cookery. There are fow things which the >r poor Italian more dislikes than to oe id watched when he is buying and preparing his food, though he will ask any one to share it with him when It is ready, but he < r- is almost as prone to hide everything else that goes on inside his house unless he has i y fair warning of a visit and full time to ;y prepare himself for it. i 4t This is perhaps not entirely a race peoul- i y iarity, but rather a survival of mediaeval < is life as it was all over Europe. There are ; pretty clear indications in our own litera j ture that the ladies and gentlemen of two ' P- or three hundred years ago did not like to i 16 be caught unprepared by inquisitive visit- i ors. The silks and satins in which they u- are portrayed would not have lasted a life- 1 10 time, as they did, if they had been worn ; every day. As for the cleanliness of those i r- times, the less said about it the better. i y In Rome there was a long period during ] whloh not a single aqueduct was in work- i it ing order, and it was a trade to clear a sup- 1 c- ply of water out of the Tiber from a por- i tion of the yellow mud by letting It settle ; is in reservoirs, and to sell it in the streets ' for all household purposes. Who washed i ,, in those days? It is safer to ask the ques *<nn nnro fKinn 4* wnnlii hnvft hoon then. U "VI. o Probably those persons washed who were )t the fortunate owners of a house well or a it rainwater cistern, and those who had 3i neither did not. Perhaps that was very 'k much the Bame all over Europe, It Is certainly to the credit of Trastevere that it is n not a dirty place today by Italian stand? ards.?Marion Crawford in Century. D MARY ANDERSON'S WARDROBE. k '' When She Had bat One Stage Co* tame e For Five Five Act PUjri. u Three months elapsed between Mary e Anderson's first appearance on the stage and her second performance, "a heart 0 breaking interval," writes1 Mrs. De Nad varro In The Ladles' Home Journal. Manager Macauley of Louisville then offered her his theater again for a week, and she presented the ohlef roles In five plays? "Fazio," "The Hunchback," "Evadne," "The Lady of Lyons" and "Romeo and Juliet." Of her first week's engagement she writes: "At the end of the week I was .I- ? t *1 n ID UUUL IU tilU lliliun^ax iui wo sum ui vi, the house having been large enough only to cover the running expenses. All I had Q gained by a week of hard work was a sad heart and a very sore throat. Besides, oreditors became unpleasantly importu* nate, for my 6canty wardrobe was not yet n paid for. This consisted of a white 6atln !- dress, simply made, whioh did service for |s all the parts. It sparkled in silver trimming for Juliet, was oovered with pink i. roses for Julia, became gay in green and i* gold for Gvadne and cloudy with white e lace for Pauline. The unfortunate gown o owed its many changes to the nimble and t- willing fingers of my mother, who spent ^ muoh time each day in its metamorphoses. r. "A train of velveteen, a white muslin i- dress and a modern black silk gown, which, like Mrs. Toodles, we thought 'would be so useful,' but whioh had to be * discarded after its first appearance, com* pleted my wardrobe?surely a meager one for five plays of five aots eaoh, requiring ' a at-, lpaat, 12 eowns. We had built ud i ir flnanoial as well aa artlstlo hopes for that ' week and were disappointed in both. But a It proved more successful than was at first I a thought, for shortly after, Bon De Bar, 1 'i one of the greatest Falstaffs of his time, 1 i- engaged me for six nights at his St. Louis < d theater. At tbe end of that time I found d myself in his debt for tbe sum of $000, but ' r the houses had steadily Improved, and tht ' J press was filled with long artiolea enthu- < ? siastlo about the present and full of pre- < diotions about the future." I ? 1 The 8wiu Bands. I l- Tbe Swiss bands marched to the muslo 1 1 of fife and drum or of their own voices, 1 g the notation of one of their marching ^ t songs being still preserved. The forest 1 oantons also Bent a horn with their com* < panies, wbioh Instruments were known ' by nioknames. Bull of Url, Cow of Unter- ' walden, and the like. Their Bound was 1 - long a note of terror to the men of Aus3 trla and Burgundy, and made a grand rallying cry for the Swiss in aotlon. But - apart from this, these horns appear to be 1 the origin of the bugle horns which still 1 an Dear on the appointments of our light 1 Infantry, and have displaced the drum as the distinctive instrument of the foot solt dl?r. Kaoh company of course had a flag e of its own, which on maroh or in actiop was posted in the center under a gi&rd of halberds. Whenoe the main body some? times was called by the name of tt/B panner (banner.) The Swiss Were distinguished by the small size og their flags; the landsknechts, on theoontrary, to acl oentuate the difference between themselves and their hated rivals, carried enormous ensigns, and made great play with them. _ Other nations chose a happy mean between u the two.

The recent Antarctic expedition waa a commercial one, and commercially it waa a failure, beoause we did not find tbe right whale, so valuable for its whalebone. Tbe Antarctio was fitted out for tbe hunt of that particular kind of whale; neverthe/ less I have no doubt that the commercial result of the expedition would have been much better had we worked under more favorable auspices. I do not by any means consider the faot of our not having met with the right whale in those seas as conclusive proof of their nonexistence in the bay at Viotoria Land. The Antarctic found the right whale at Campbell island in the winter time; the boats fastened to five of them, of which, however, only one was caught. Now. to me It does not seem improbable that these whales go south to the bay of Victoria Land, where Ross saw them, in the summer, and return north in the winter. It would seem incredible that a man of Sir James Ross' standing, supported as be was by able scientists and experienced whalers, should have made a grave error when he said that this valuable whale was . ? m % i_ i 1 I. DO D0 louna id largo uuiuutira iu iuun gouthorn latitudes. The difference in the appearanoe of the blue whale, as we found it there, and the right whale, in the method of spoating, is bo striking that even the most casual observer could not easily be deceived. Very possibly, had we penetrated farther into the large open bay discovered by Rota In the vicinity of the volcano peaks Erebus and Terror, we, too, would have found the right whale in great numbers. We saw very, many blue whales, but had not the appliances to take them. As I remarked at the international geographical congress, we found few seals. They increased, however, in number as we worked eastward, and seemed afraid Of the land. All of the seals that we met on the shore showed muoh uneasiness, and speedily made for the water, a fact which strengthened my belief in the existence of % large enemy of the seal on the continent. I do not donbt that the se^ls con gregate together in larger numDers as some placos on the bay. I consider the guano beds whloh we discovered of great commercial lmportanoe, and they ought to be well worth the attention of enterprising business men. The specimen whloh I brought baok with me contains a large peroentage of ammonia. Furthermore, from the analysis of the specimen of rook which I brought back with me, the possible find probable presence of valuable minerals on the continent is proved, although the lava and the volcanio aspect of the coast line do not speak favorably for the presence of heavy metals Dear the surfaoe.?C. E. Borchgrevlnk In Century. How the Chinese Count Tims. The Chinese sundial embodied the usual prlnolple, but was crude Indeed. A rod or needle set upright reflected a shadow on a flat surface as the sun moved. On this were characters indicating the hours of the day. The Chinese also used a water dock called the clepsydra. It was a disk of copper or other material, with an irtfomolu omn.ll AnnrhnrA. from which the I water triokled, drop by drop. The olepsy3ra of Canton is thus desorlbed by a travaler: "It Is a vase of copper. Itissltuated In a pavilion ballt on a double aroh that srosses a street leading from the great south gate of the city to the palace of the treasurer of the province. Like that which sxlsted, and perhaps exists still in the Peking observatory, it is composed of four oopper vases, whence water runs from one bo another by little tubes fixed at the base. The vase that rests on the floor has on its wooden oover a kind of handle, crossed by a rule mounted on a float and covered with characters representing the hours. When the water has run out?that is, in the morning or evening?it is poured again into the uppermost vase. There is a little brick staircase by whioh the attendant ascends. "In the temples there are attendants whose business it is to hang up a placard, with a white ground, on whioh is indioatad the hour. They striko the hours of the Say on a drum, and at night they beat a gong. The attondaDts who thus look after the flight of time occupy the intervals between in making sticks of Incense, on which are marked the hours. These are sticks so arranged as to burn a certain length of time for every hour, and these ire used by peasants and others. The itick is lighted when the gong sounds, ind in this way the private individual can keep very tolerable account of the hoars us they pass."?New York Ledger. , Painting the I?lly. Painting the lily has become a literal foot, not merely the poet's notion of the wildest exaggeration. An army officer's wife, writing from an out of the way western town, tells of a young woman out there, "quite the most refined person here she is, too, who related to me, with muoh pride, an Idea of her own which she bad jarried out for a recent silver wedding. I cut some of our annunciation lilies,' she explained, 'and pasted silver paper In strips on the outside of the flowers. They were very much admired.' " This western artist (?) is equaled and jutdone by a Berlin society woman who set out her dinner board lately with exquisite flowers, on which mottoes and quotations were painted In gold, silver and various colors. On a deep purple hearts)ase was a greeting in cream color on Its mrface, and other flowers had been equally ( liaflgured, at great expense of misguided skill and moDey.
