The editor of the Providence Jour nal ungallantly s&ya of Mies Cleve land's book that "the ultimate judg ment upon it moat inevitably be that there ie little in it worth the saying and still lees thetis said well." Mean while Miss Cleveland and (he pub lishers will make a pot of money. The clerk of the house of rep re . : eentatives says that from the present indications there will be fewer con tested election cases before the next j Congress than there have been before any Congress for forty years. There will not be more than four, and prob ably not more than three. Featherly - was making an eve ning call and the revised edition was being discussed. "In the new Bible that pa brought home," said Bobby, joining the con versation, "sister is four years young er than she was in the old one. Ia that what is meant by the revised edition?" A GOOD MOTHER.-"One good mother," eays George Herbert, "is worth a hundred schoolmasters. In ' the home she is loadstone to all hearts and loadstar to all eyes." Imitation of her is constant-imitation which Bacon likens to aj'globe of precepts.' It is instruction, it is teaching without worda/olten exemplifying more than -teague can teach. In the face of bad example the best precepts are of but* little avail. The example is followed, - not the precepts. Indeed, precept at variance with practice is worse than useless, inasmuch as it only serves to teach that most cowardly of vices hypocrisy. Kev. Sam Jones charged the Meth odists of Nashville with selling liquor. An investigation proved that he waa mistaken. The Birmingham Advo cate hints that an investigation in Bir mingham would prove that Mr. Jones is not mistaken were he to apply this charge to the Birmingham Method ists. .When Mr. Jones sh ota oft' his rifle anywhere in the bushes he is sure to hit something or somebody somewhere. By the way did the Rev. Sam Jones make a similar charge against any denomination in Atlanta when he was here ? If not, why not ? Could Atlanta, on investigation, prove him to be mistaken as readily ae Nashville has done ? We hope so, but, really, who does know positively ? Atlanta Journal. THE LAUGHING PLANT.-It is call ed the. laughing plant becauee ite seeds produce effects like those mad? by laughing gas. The flowers are of a b'^^ht y filo w, and the seed pods nre soft ?nl woolly, while the eeede resemble ern?ft black beans, and only _?r three grow ic a pod. In China, lance, sing and laugh most boisterously, cut the most fantastic capers, and be in a very ridiculous condition for about an hour. When the excitement ceases the exhausted exhibitor of these at tica falls asleep, and when he awakes he has not the slightest remembrance of his doings. Noah's Ark and (He Great East ern Conpared. Will yon please tell me which wes the larger-the Great Eastern cr Noah's ark ? If the Great Eastera was longer, wider and higher, would not the ark hold more inside ? F. J. MEECH. The exact size ot Noah's ark hs s not been determined definitely, but, according to Sir Isaac Newton's cal dilations, based on his estimates of j the length of a cubit in feet and inchon, the historical barge must have been 525.62 feet long, 85.94 wide, and 51.56 deep. The measured toa* nage of the ark was 18,232. The Great Eastern was 680 feet long, 83 feet wide, and 53 feet deep, and she measured 28,093 tons. Although the Great Eastern was not so well pro portioned as the ark she probably - had doable the carrying capacity if | . . her coal and machinery were left out voi her, because she was made of iron, and the ark was a woe The Weeta of a Mother. It may be only a Barlow knife withe s rusty blade and a broken point, or it may be a peg top half split down in the middle, or only half a dozen battered spools on a Knotted string. But there it lies, whatever if is, stowed carefully away in the tar-off corner of the bureau drawer, under a yellow pile of little linen and stockings, patched and darned at the heel and at the knee. Bot all the gems of Golconda cannot buy them; no, nor the gold of the wide world size their preciousness. For they are the holy of the holies. It is not often that she goes to that drawer, not often she looks upon the treasures there. Bntoncein a while, sometimes, the time when a kn eek comes to the heart, that comes to mothers' hearts alone, like the fam ished and thirsty she goes tc the nest of her jewels. Slowly, with soft hands the little linens are laid aside, and slowly with trembling hand?, the knife, the top, or the string of dingy spools are drawn forth. Ab, how gently they are pressed to the heart and lips 1 What words are they say ing, what sad, sweet songs are they singing? Kissed and cried on, and cried on and kissed. Then yearning ly, reluctantly, olingingly back they go to their nest io the far-off corner, and the yellowing little linens are pot back one by one. All alone, jeal oua that mortal eyes should see her worship at th? shrine, the drawer is closed, and she who knelt before it comes to earth once more.-Pittsburg Chronicle. The Treasury Reserve. Treasury officials, leferring to the published (Statements that the treas ury gold balance has been increased at the expense of the legal tender fund held for the redemption of na tional bank notes, say that all state ments o? this oort are untrue, and ??hat the following is the .fact: The present administration o? the treas ury has set apart the legal tender fund as a trust upon which under no circumstances encroachments will be made, and there certainly have as yet been none made. ?Under former Administrations the legal tender re serve has not been treated as a spe cial fund and encroachments have often been made upon it. Secretary Man ning, however, will not permit any deviation from the policy that the re serve is to be held.as a sacred ftrndr The construction given to the treasury statements which form the foundation of this charge ie erroneous. The bair ance, which it is claimed contains near ly $20,000,000 gold taken from ?the legal tender fund, in reality contains instead some $20.000,000 of silver? which is reckoned against the liabili ties of the Government which are clearly payable in silver and which aggregate not lesB than $30,000,000. This fund of $20,000,000 silver is 1 $25,000,000 less than it was at times under the- last Administration. Tak ing this iteni-iat?^c?mmier^ it will be seen that the $100,000,000 gold fund has been kept preserved in tact. Treasurer Jordan is of opinion, that the plan for the preservation of;J the gold fund will prove effectual J and he expects to see a continued in-ij crease of that fund. He does not fear compulsory silver payments, and is of opinion that the redemption and retirement of $11,000,000 of silver certificates has been beneficial. Revealing Some Family Secrets. "Oh, dear I ob, dear !" said Julia Hayes with a 6?gh, as she gazed at her nineteen year old daughter, An nie, a pretty, slender girl, at the Tombs yesterday. "That girl will drive me into the mad house. Her head is gone on the cops." "Cops, cops," queried the justice I innocently, "what's that?"' "Police, sir; or peelers as my daughter calls them. When she fin ishes her supper she says: 'I'm going out to see if my mash is on post.' Oh, dear I she is a dreadful girl." "Yon haven't told meanythiug yet which! consider improper iu your daughter's conduct," remarked Jue tice O'Reilly. " What I" exclaimed Mrs. Hayes, "you call that nothing ? Do you no tice the small waist she has? I'll tell you how she gets it. She ties the ends of her corset strings to the bed post or the knob of the door, and draws herself away until she can scarcely broathe. If i remonstrate with her she gives me all kinds of j talk." layes, as she turnet questioner. "Make yourself a small waist by pulling yourself away from the bed post, where you have your corset strings tied; and judge, eometimes she has father to pull the end of her corset Btriugs for her.. How would I know if I didn't learn it from you?" "Anuie! Oh, you"-. But MrB Hayes stopped. She could get no further, so enraged was she, and pies ently she burst into tears. 'Answer your daughter's question," commanded the justice. "No, no, no," she finally said "it's all a lie. I never did such t thing." "Father," said the girl, beckoning for an elderly man to come forward, ' I want you to testify in my behalf." "Don't you dare to say a word," said his wife, stamping her foot. "Henry, go home." The old man looked bewildered. "You can all go home," said Jus tice O'Pweiliy in a despairing tone, tearing up the summons.-JVuv Yo-rk World. "Wimmiu" iu Slavery and Free dom. A > kansaw Traveller. "Lemme tell yer, Mars Bill," said an old negro, addressing a man to whom he fprmerlyjirftlonped, "wimjmti ain't like da. uster'be." "Not, eh?" "No, sah, dey ain't. W'y, eah, I had four wives at er time fo' de wah; good wimmin, to." "You did ?" "Yas, sah, I did. W'y, dem wim min, sab, knowd how ter treat er pus son.

O, da allue had it, right dar ready fur me ; but, sah,' it's er shame de way my present wife acts." "Shame, is it?" "Yas, sah, er weeping' shaine.

Cook all day fur de white folks, an' den at night come borne wid only some pertaters an' meat an' er few aigs. O, da ain't like da uster be, sah." "I think there is but little doubt that we shall have a penny tostage for letters," said Postmaster-General Vilas on Tuesday morning. "I shall recommend it in my report to Con gress, and the people want to see a further reduction in letter postage. There is no reason why thia depart ment should be any more nearly self sustaining than the other depart ments, and if penny postage should create a deficit of a lew millions a year for a while I guess the treasury is rich enough to stand it." Everybody's Air-Brake. [ri V?~??l ^ " Yee, sah," said Uncle Zach, "I'se watched it forty years an' its as I sez: De fust of May an' Ohristmas day of !e ?ame year allers comes on de same eek diy." Further conversation proved Uncle Zach a most incredulous person. Chauciog to mention Dr. Carver's feat of breaking glass balls with a rifle, he said : " I heerd 'bout dat shooting' and knowed right oft' it wasn't squar' ; dat was a Yankee trick, boes' sho's you born." "What was the trick ?" "Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass balls, an' likewise onto de b?l lete ; so when de bullet fly outende gun, it an' de ball jes drawed ter gedder, which, in course, brokes de "glass-date de trick !" Later, Uncle Zach observed a rope running along the side of the car. "Boss, what's dat Hue fur?" - "To apply the air-brake in case of accident." Then we" had further to explain how the force of the brake was obtained, to which Uncle Zach responded : ''"?Look ? here boss, you sholy don't 'sp'ect me to b'leeve dat foolishness ? Why, de biggest ' harricane whatever blowed couldn't stop dis train, run nin' forty mile a hour. An' you think I gwine to b'leeve a little pipe full of wind under de kyars can do it? No, sah ree ?" There are a great many Uncle Zicb.8 who judge everything simply by appearances. ^ft^-aw-iffake does not seem to be"a"'very powemli thing, [ but power and efficiency are not necessarily equivalent to bigness aud pretense. Phillip Beers, E?q., who resides at the Quited States Hotel, New York city, and ?B engsged in raising sub scriptions for the New York World Barthold' pedestal fund, was once upbraided by a distinguished relative who was a physician, for commending in such enthusiastic terms, a remedy that cured him of bright's disease eight years ago. He said : "Sir, has the medical profeeeion with all its power and experience of thousands of years, anything that can cure this terrible disorder?" No, no, that is true, there is no mistake about it but that Warner's safe cure ?8 really a wonderfully effective preparation. That remedy ia an "air brake" that every man can apply and this fact explains why it hos saved so many hundreds of thousands of lives. Copyrighted. Used by permission of American Rural Home.

It was discorered crossing the old Greenville stage road, about ten mileB above thia place, by a party of four or five per sons, who had quite a chase and a regular skirmish to capture it, and only succeeded by pelting it lo death, with stones and sticks. It died game, having whipped two dogs after an ex citing chase of a mile.-Laurcnsvilie Herald. The Story of a Robust Boy, Willie White, a boy of seven years, has been afflicted with scrofula ever eince he was three months old. His scalp was last year almost a mass of sores. One of his eyes was perma nently injured, and his jaw running in huge sores. In September last he commenced to take Swift's Specific uuder my direction. To-day he ie a fat, equabby, robust boy. His jaw is well and his head is covered with a fiue coat of hair. There is a little dryness about the scalp. This is the only sign of the terrible disease left. His mother desires me to thank the proprietors of Swift's Specific very heartily, and says she is so grateful that worJd canuot express it. 'J^gtoL k_a j^myjydjuV-ett*^ c! W. PARKER, M.
