A Light wood Knot of North Carolina.?The following bit of wit upon the part of a North Carolina girl comes to us from the Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, the fashionable Virginia summer resort and watering place: Among the regular habitues is Colonel B , a well-preserved, handsome old beau of uncertain age. His society record is brilliant and though he has raised many hopes, yet season after season has ended and the Colonel has yielded his liberty to none. His special strength is pride of family, boasting as he does, in season and out of season, not only the bluest South Carolina blood, but the most direct Huguenot descent. During the past summer there appeared flitting about the broad piazza and through the loug drawing-room a bright dashing girl from the "Land of the Sky." The Colonel, as usual, began the scheme of monopoly, and the ambitious young belle seemed noth- J ing loth to accord to him the coveted position as chief of staff. It began to be whis J Al_ ? AL ? A/vl ITTft fl VAO 1 1 T? in pereu ttuoui ninii me wwuw mu itouj earnest for once in his life. Those who knew him best watched him closest, and were sure he was on the eve of a victory. His gait was more martial, his manner more lofty than ever before, and the poor ances-1 tral Huguenots were dragged to the front without mercy. Unfortunately a bit of eaves-dropping in the dim star-lighted seclusion of what the Colonel thought to be a deserted corner of the piazza told the story of such woful discomfiture that he fled the place within twenty-four hours afterward. He had evidently proposed in his most pompous and condescending manner, and had heard with amazement a quiet negative from the young lady's lips. "But 1 think?I am sure," said the Colonel, hardly able to control his indignant pride, "you do not understand, you do not appreciate, Miss, the honor that has been conferred upon you, that you so lightly decline. I am a Huguenot of South Carolina!" "Ah, Colonel, it is you who forget," said Miss , with her most roguish smile. "You do not appreciate the honor to which you aspire. I am a Lightwood Knot of North Carolina !"?Harper's Magazine. 4 ? ? Well Posted in Politics.?A pretty girl of Clifton was talking politics to her best young man the other night and he was rather surprised. "Why, Lucy," he said, "do you read the papers for political news?" ^Oh! yes, and I just dote on it. I'm getting to be thoroughly posted." "Who's going to be tne Democratic nominee for President, do you think?" "I couldn't say positively, but I can say Z- that if Ohio is bound to be represented on the ticket, theDgiaeeniiy needn't^ think theycan cajyy-tEeStateby giving Cleveland theiftwt^lace." ^ "Why not?" "Because' Cincinnati should have it, of course, for it is so much larger and wealthier and more influential than Cleveland. I begin to think this Cleveland boom is a Standard Oil scheme, because that is their headquarters." The young man looked at the girl in ! amazement, and said something about Solomon in all his glory not being arrayed like one of these.?Merchant Traveler. pair of embroidered, fancy looking suspenders hung in front of a Michigan Avenue store yesterday, and a young man stopped to examine them.

But you have won, and that's an end of it. Let it be a lesson to you in future."?Boston Transcript. 8?~One of Ohio's Governor's, on coming into office, paid a visit to the State Prison, and ordered that every man there be permitted to come up and talk to him. The result was a pertect storm of petitions for pardon?every man pleading innocence. One old and grizzled "tough" stood apart and added nothing to the clamor. The Governor called him up: . "What are you in for?" "Stealing." "Well, were you guilty?" "Yes; it's the way I make my living." The Governor went back to his office and pardoned the man. When remonstrated with, his only excuse was: "Well, I was afraid the thief might contaminate those other fellows." fiST* We hope that those who read the following will profit by it: Recently a man was out hunting, and to get shelter from an approaching storm he crept into a hollow log. After the storm abated he attempted to crawl out, but found that the log had swelled so that it was impossible to make his exit. He endeavored to compress himself as much as possible, but without success. He thought of all the mean things he had ever done, until finally, his mind reverted to the fact that instead of subscribing and paying for his county paper, he was in the habit of borrowing it from his neighbor. ? - * '? i 1: 1 men ne ieir so smuu ui;u nt; snjipcu vui m the log without any trouble.

Logan's letter accepting the Republican nomination for the Vice-Presidency has been given to the public. He accepts the nomination with a grateful heart and a deep sense of its responsibilities, and says that if he is elected he shall endeavor to discharge the duties of the office to the best of his ability. He discusses the tariff question at as great length as does Mr. Blaine in his letter of acceptance, and is equally pronounced in favor of a protective tariff. He says: "Protection should extend to every article of American production which goes to build up the general prosperity of our people. The National Convention, in view of the special dangers menacing the wool interests of the United States, deemed it wise to adopt a separate resolution on the subject of its proper protection. This industry is a very large and important one. The necessary legislation to sustain this industry upon a prospermio Kooia ohnniri ho ovtpnflpfi Xn nne real UUO UOOiO onvum vv VAWMV.X/V.. izes more fully than myself the great delicacy and difficulty of adjusting a tariff so nicely and equitably as to protect every home industry, sustain every class of American labor, promote to the highest point our great agricultuaal interests, and at the same time to give to .one and all the advantages pertaining to foreign productions not in competition with our own, thus not only building up our foreign commerce, but taking measures to carry it in our own bottoms. Difficult as this work appears, and really is, it is susceptible of accomplishment by patient and intelligent labor, and to no hands can it be committed with as great assurance of success as to those of the Republican party." Our monetary system is next discussed, and to the Republican party, he says, all honor is due for the system, which he contends has never been equalled .by this or any other nation. On the subject of inter-State commerce, he says: "There is much desired in the way of equitable rates and facilities of transportation, that commerce may flow freely between the States themselves, diversity of industries and employments be promoted in all sections of our country, and that the great granaries and manufacturing establishments of the interior may be enabled to send their products to the seaboard for shipment to foreign countries, relieved of vexatious restrictions and discriminations in matters of I which it may emphatically be said, 'time is money,' and also of unjust charges upon articles destined to meet close competition from the products of other parts of the world." As to our foreign commerce, he favors peaceful, orderly and conservative methods for extending it to limits commensurate with our vast resources, and especially would he encourage the extension of our commerce with the republics of Spanish America. He devotes to "equal rights of citizenship" much space, and from this branch of I Hi?a Knhiect we codv his views pretty much entire, as a matter of interest to our readers, his effort in this direction being the latest, and we hope the last feeble attempt at waving the bloody shirt. He says: "With the culmination of another cycle of advanced thought, the American Republic suddenly assumed the full character of a government of a whole people, and four million human creatures emerged from the condition of bondsmen to the full status of freemen, theoretically invested witn the same civil and political rights possesed by their former masters. The subsequent legislation which guaranteed by every legal title the citizenship and full equality before the law in all respects of this previously disfranchised people, amply covers the requirements and secures to them, so far as legislation can, the privilege of American.citizenship. But the disagreeable fact of the case is, that while, theoretically, we are in the enjoyment of a government of the whole people, practically we are almost as far from it as we were in ante-bellum days of the Republic. There are but a few leading and indisputable facts which cover the whole statement of the case. In many of the Southern States the colored population is in a large excess of the white. The colored people are Republicans, as are also a considerable portion of the white people. The remaining portion of the latter are Democrats. In the face of this incontestible truth these States invariably return Democratic majorities. In other States of the South the colored people although not a majority, form a very considerable body of the population, and with the white Republicans are numerically in excess of the Democrats, yet precisely the same political result obtains?the Democratic party invariably carrying the elections. It is not even thought advisable to allow an occasional or unimportant election to be carried by the Republicans as a 'blind' or as a stroke of finesse. "Careful and impartial investigation has shown these results to follow the systematic exercise of physical intimidation and violence, conjoined with the most shameful devices ever practiced in the name of free elections. So confirmed has this result be? ,,rrt orn Krniiofht. tf? fjVf'fi with WIIIC 111UV U1V U1WB the extraordinary political fact that the Democratic party of the South relies almost entirely upon the methods stated for its success in national elections. "The unlawful perversion of the popular franchise, which I desire to state dispassionately, and in amannercomporting with the proper dignity of the occasion, is one of deep gravity to the American people?in a double sense. "First. It is in violation, open, direct and flagrant, of the primary principle upon which our Government is supposed to rest, viz.: that the control of the Government is participated in by all legally qualified citizens, in accordance with the plan of popular government, that majorities must rule in the decision of questions. "Second. It is in violation of the rights and interests of the States wherein are particularly centered the great wealth and industries of the nation, and which pay an overwhelming portion of the national taxes. The immense aggregation of interests embraced within, and the enormously greater population of these other States of the Union are subject every tour years to the dangers of a wholly fraudulent show of numerical strength. Under this system minorities actually attempt to direct the course of national affairs, and though up to this time success has not yet attended their efforts to elect a President, yet success has been so perilously imminent as to encourage a repetition of the effort at each quadrennial election, and to subject the interests of an overwhelming majority of our people, North and South, to all the hazards of illegal subversion." To achieve the ideal perfection of a popular government, he favors liberal educational facilities for the masses, and lie says the proposition applies itself with full force to the colored people of the South. He favors the encouragement of foreign immigration under proper restrictions, and as to civil service, he advocates "tho high-1 est standard of excellence in the adminis-1 tration of the civil service," and will lend i | his best efforts to the accomplishment of the ! I greatest attainable perfection in this branch-'! j of our service. On the subject ol polygamy ne^says: ! The Republican party came into exfstence j in a crusade against the Democratic institu- ! tions of slavery and polygamy. The first! of these has been buried beneath the embers of civil war. The party should con-' tinue its efforts until the remaining iniquii ty shall disappear from our civilization uni der the force of faithfully executed laws." He concludes by advocating the enforce1 ment of the eight-hour labor law, favoring ; the increasing of the navy, and protecting the control ofthe public lands from all other ; uses than free homes for all desiring to pos sess them. A Washington View.?A Washington i letter says: The trouble with Cleveland's i record is that from a Republican standpoint i it is better to keep it dark rather than to ; have it printed beside Blaine's. If Mr.; Bayard had been nominated a million pamphlets charging him with disloyalty would | nave been sent out within a week. The matter was already prepared. If some oth- i i er candidate had been nominated similar i publications would have been made. Judge Field would have been charged with being the friend of all monopolies and (strange as j ! it would appear) the Republican party, which is notoriously monopolistic in its tendencies and connection, would have urged an anti-monopoly war against him. The nomination of Cleveland turns the camSaign considerably. It is the plan of the rational Democratic Committee to not only open the fight, but to press it on the Republican party on the "recorcT" question. As the Republican campaign committee will not circulate Cleveland's record the Democratic committee will, and with it the soiled record of Mr. Blaine. The headquarters of the Congressional Democratic Committee, of which Senator Gorman, of Maryland, is chairman and Representative Post, of Pennsylvania, secretary, will be formally opened this week, and the music will begin in earnest. ?t . unit niT ^ l> TBLiW VAVL' A ULAJl/Ii Ul ?ilV ili> 11 ivitm The political situation in the Empire State is thus sketched by a New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Times: The political situation in theStateof New York is a curious study. I have been spending a week in an effort to solve its mysteries. If no real benefit from the inquiry has been gained, several interesting conditions have manifested themselves which are worthy of statement. Both parties start out with the assumption that this State is the real battle-ground of what is likely to be a political revolution. Accepting this to be right, the attitude of the people of New York is of great significance. It may be well enough for party managers to assume that this Presidential battle is to be fought upon the same old lines and with the same, forces as have been marshalled upon either side for the past twelve years. It is not true. New conditions are now to be met, and new plans are to be made and followed. Whichever party displays the better generalship and has the luck in gathering the driftwood will carry this State. Now it is anybody's victory, and the real work of the conflict is yet to be done. New York naturally belongs to Mr. Cleveland, and he will carry it unless the city shall be so manipulated that a good part of his party vote there will be diverted from him. It is not by any means certain that even this could defeat him. The fact that Governor Cleveland was elected by such a vast majority two yearsagodoesnotin itself signify much, so far as the present contest is concerned. It does mean a great deal by way of illustrating how completely county lines are obliterated, now as well as then. The nomination of Mr. Blaine did not and will not restore the old-time party fealty. A thorough canvass of that feature of the struggle leaves the impression that it did not do much more in that direction than the nomination of any other candidate than President Arthur would have done, while in enmo inr?nHfiPB it, has helned the nartv less than the selection of any other candidate before the June Convention. Cleveland is stronger in Western New York than his party. Blaine is not. One of the largestbusiness men of that section of this State and a staunch friend of the Plumed Knight said to me, rather sorrowfully: THE REPUBLICANS NOT UNITED. "There is no use of disguising the fact that we cannot rely upon our Republicans to give a united support to the ticket. The controversies we have had within and without our party lines have, in a great measure, destroyed party discipline. It is now no potent argument to exhort a man to stand by the candidates because they are the nominees of the party. You have got to find a better reason than that, and hence no man can estimate the number of men who, without any noise, will go and vote their convictions regardless of party obligations. This will be a great year for the vest-pocket tickets and no one can tell which way they will count." "Is Cleveland strong?" "Yes. Stronger than his party. He has made an excellent Governor, and the people feel kind and safe in his hands. He is a dangerous candidate for us." These are literally the sober words of one of the strongest supporters Mr. Blaine has in the western half of New York State. I encountered many such expressions, and they were nearly all coupled with the statement that while Mr. Blaine was a popular candidate he could not expect to holu his party vote, but that they hoped to make up for any loss by accessions from the disaffected Democrats. This claim is worthy of consideration, for it is true that there are a good many Democratic kickers outside of this great city. You find them in a good many towns among the professional politicians, for Mr. Cleveland has not been a politic official. He does not seem to have considered his own future at all in any and all of his official acts. Result, trouble. Will this disaffection follow him to and find expression at the polls, is the important ques? -j-t re :t. tion. some say nay, ouiersyuu. n nuucs, then this may send Mr. Blaine to New York city with about the usual Republican vote ; it's the only thing that will. Outside of the city the opposition to the Maine statesman is a quiet one ; to Mr. Cleveland it is noisy, and capable of being handled, for a country Democrat rarely fails to vote, and to vote the straight ticket. For all these reasons it would seem that from the rural districts the Democratic candidate stands a better chance to reach Harlem River with more than his party vote than Mr. Blaine does. STALWART DISCONTENT. There is one element of weakness in the Republican ranks that seems to me to have been overlooked. It may be a very mischievous one. I found it cropping out in Buffalo, Utica, Rochester and Albany, not to mention a big spot right here in New York city. Stalwart discontent?there is considerable of it. It is dangerous because it cannot be measured. There may be little and there may be much. This, the extent and directneas of the trade to be made hereafter will determine. If something is not done to quiet the freemasonry that exists the machine will spend its force upon the local Legislature candidates and the Presidential nominee will be quietly knifed. The election of a Senator next winter to succeed Mr. Lapham is of far more importance to them than a President who don't deal and keep his word. Curious, isn't it? This feeling is one of resentment, perhaps, but here it is, and when you come to couple it with the outspoken, organized independent opposition to the Republican candidate, it is easy to see how many fences there are to be climbed and how many boulders are to be shunned before the grand old party ever gets its troops into good fighting position.' Some of the Blaine organs have already bogun to sound the alarm and to call for a reorganization of the State committee, which is in the hands of the old stalwart crowd. THE TAMMANY ELEMENT. This much for the State outside this city. The drift of the current here becomes more * +UJO. / l.nnHnnnn,]:. important 011 (tccuuiit ui tins tunuut wuuition of the two parties in the country districts, where it is not easy for those handling the ballot-boxes to change the returns to suit the party necessities. The Republicans expect to secure New York by the Democratic divD'^nshere. It is about their only hope, unless there is a radical change between now and the election day. The Independent movement may not be increasing. I doubt if it is; but it is growing more confident and tenacious. It is getting in better shape for service, and will exert quite as much moral effect outside the State as it has direct political power in it. The Republican newspapers that have bolted Blaine are, of course, having much to do with keeping up and increasing the discontent not only here but through the .State, where their influence is stronger than in the metropolis. There is a good deal of idlo chat here about what John Kelly will and will not do in this crisis. A close canvass of those who ought to know develops a radical change in the temper of Tammany. The feeling of disgust which followed their defeat at Chicago has well nigh worn away and an ambition for national success is succeeding it. It is the judgment of many careful men that John Kelly could not prevent Governor Cleveland, from carrying New York if he should try, and the general understanding is that he will not try. Ono of his close friends stated his position to me in these words: "Mr. Kelly is a Democrat and will stand I by the ticket, lie naturally feels hurt at the result at Chicago, but that is wearing! off and as he is looking for local honors he will warm up and do his duty by the party. J He"would like to be mayor, I believe ; ami' if he is treated fairly about the nominations I in the city he will have no cause to grum-! ble. It now depends upon the party mana- J gers to keep Kelly in the party or drive him out. He is waiting to see what they will do." There is a movement now on foot to have a square understanding with the chief of Tammany upon this subject and it won't be long before it is had. While all these difficulties are in the balances there is a chance of speculation. But it is a small one. The indications outside of the city are too good for much nonsense to be tolerated here among the Democracy. Concerning Mrs. Hendricks.?-Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks occupy a very prominent position in society here, and indeed, in every place they go. They entertain admirably, but not elaborately. They have no children. Their only boy died when but three years old, in 1851. Mrs. Hendricks is a fine-looking lady, about fifty years old, rather small of stature, with dark hair and eyes. She wears an eye-glass, which gives her something of a distingue appearance, and she dresses richly, but plainly. She is a brilliant conversationalist and a lady of rare tact. For many years she has devoted much attention to charitable matters, and for four years was one of the board of trustees appointed by the Republican Governor of the State Institution tor the Reformation of Girls. While president of the board a legislative investigation of the institution was held and developed the fact that its affairs had been managed much more economically and effectively than when under control of men. When Mr. Hendricks was Governor of the State, she visited, with him, the various penal and reformatory institutions, and was notsatisfied with a casual inspectionof them, but inquired into their affairs closely. She is valuable to him in various other ways, for she has an extended knowledge of political affairs and an, excellent judgment regarding them. All of his carefully prepared speeches bear the impress of her work. They are a charming couple, thoroughly congenial and almost equally talented.?Indianapolis Letter in Chicago Herald. What a Well-Known Tariff Reformer Says About It.?Mr. J. S. Moore, whose advocacy of tariff reform is well known to our readers, to-day made the following comments upon the tariff resolutions adopted by the convention : "I am perfectly satisfied with the expression of the tariff plank in the Democratic platform. I only hope and trust that when ! the time for action comes; the party, I mean the whole Democratic party, will live up to it. The Democratic platform solemnly promises tariff reform. This is all I want, and I see no reason why that reform should not be made fairly and squarely in the interest of manufacturers as well as consumers. My undying enimity is to those pet tariff swindles and robberies which have been foisted upon the people, taxing the millions in favor of a few pampered monopolies.

J y1 _ \ t t poison; c In the blood is apt to show itself in the Spring, * and nature should by all means be assisted in throwing it off. Swift's Specific does this efi'ectively. It is a purely vegetable, non-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all the poison i or taint out through the pores of the skin. Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Tenn., ( writes, under date of March 10, 1884: "I had chills < and fever, followed by rheumatism, for three 1 years, so that I was notable to attend to my business; had tried almost every kind of medicine, and found no relief. A friend recommended ; Swift's Snecific. I tried one bottloand my health began to Improve. I continued until I had taken six bottles, and it has set me on my feet, as sound and well as ever. I recommend it to all similarly afflicted." I Letters from twenty-three (23) of the leading retail druggists of Atlanta, say, under date March 24, 1884: "We sell more of Swift's Specific than j any other one remedy, and three to ten times as | much as any other blood medicine.
