While considering the suffrage question, the Constitutional Con veition was troato(I Friday night and Saturday to a continuous stream of nogro oloquonce. Tho C report of the committo was first, attacked by Tom Miller, of Beau- f fort, andl ho spoke one hour and i forty minutes to i large ufldience, 1 C h) sItiplort of tho suiffrage of the color d race aild warning the con vont ion not. to discriminato against thei. Ito was given a courteous an(I patient hearimg, apparently gaiiung the int crost of the venivou tion. Jamos Wigg, another color ed (legate, was likowiso accorded at polito and attentive auldience, I w I hilo ho told his tale of woe and iittered )rophetic warnings. 'I'Iis ended the sp1king for Fri eday ight. and thl (obato wats post poiel to Saturday, when W. J. Whip)or rosimId it, advocating fair treatilOnt. for the colored citi zens. He spoke two hours bitterly attacking the fourth section of the sufirage plan, which contains pro posed (ualifications for voters. He clainmd to ho the first, man to ex pose the corruipt. issuo and traffic in Stato bonds in 1870 and charged that the whito democratic press ha( been subsidized by the rob b'rs into silence, saying that. he roforred to the Charleston News, theun owned by Riordan and Daw son. He asserted that the talk of ngro rule was absurd anci that the convention had hoen called not to provent negro omi nation, but to insure negro servitude and degredation. Whipper received the closest and moset courteons attention and1( wais followed by RobeOrt Smalls, thet nogro ex-colnresman from the black dlistrict. He boasted a good deal about race and prophosied that thev would command the re spect of the country and that the North would come to their aid. Hie claimed that an education al qualification would give tile whiteus a majority and the negroes would - be content with thuat, but the re form movement would bo dead for ever. The negroes have had their say * andl the convention p)atiently lis toned to their comnplaints, hut the decision will be against them and whuite rule will hia perpetuafted anid uinraftodi in to thet conistitutioni. Thc nuext United States Senate will b)e co'nstituted as follows: Republicans, 42 ; Democrats, 39; Populists, 6. T1his gives the Pop ulists the balance of power. How * the, Senate will stand on the finuan cial qulest ion has not yet beena as certained ; but it is believed that a mnaj ority of the members are for he free coinage of silvor. --o e The August report of the statis tician of the D)opartment of Agri culture shows a reduction in the condition of cotton (during tile month of July from 82.8 to 77.9 or 41.4 points. ThIs is the lowest average ever reported, being half a point lower than the average for August, 1898. The reason for low conidition generally given by cor respondents is excessive moisture, though in South Carolina drought seems to be a principal cause of in .iury. There is much complaint of grass and not a little rust, the blight, worms and insect are en. muies of the plant. The young man 's nam- Is Churchill; his title is the Duke of Marlborough. The wedding invi tations read to the effect that Mrs. William Kissam Vanderbilt's dau hter' will wed tile Duke of Ma borough. There is no room to doubt- tat it is the title the ~oung womatn is' going to marry. r.OChurchill in't in the consid raonat all, according to the woulin of the Invitations.---Sa vannah News. - 4It is predicted and believed that the Constitutional Convention will finmsh its work, and adjourn with. mn the next four weeks, just in I time to give room for the general Nsuembly. Fool hill isjust where the undu. I ating lowlands of boyhood rises I lharply up to the highlands of nanhood. It is olimbed only by >ig boys, and the big boy is an in titution in this world. He, is in. leed, a series of personalities in 6 no extraordinary combination. i "he only certain thing about him f s his uncertanty. Like a spit- c levil he is ioaded, and will go off a vith a spark, but just which way e io will go is an unknown and un- j :nowable thing. But the chances j ,ro that he will ge zigzag, and I vhich over way ho goes, you can M ,race himn by the sparks. 1: When you notice the boy feeling a ,f his upper lip, and a suspicion r >f something slightly darker than a he skin appears, you may begin L hen to look sharp. The boy has a omo to the foot of fool hill, and i will begin very soon to climb. s, 'ho great problem is to get him p ver the hill in good repair. That y one, you have blessed the world f, ith a ian. h Big boys are nearly certain to n ave the big head. This is no bad p ign. It is an unawakened sense tj f power, without the wisdom of o isciplino. Our boy entering the r ool age is a caution. His voice is a: ow fine and splitting, now coarse a, nd grating. He begins a sentence h1 oarso and ends fine, or fine and 81 nds coarse. He is rank and sets [igging to the world. All his udgments are pronounced and f, inal. There is nothing he cannot I lecide itstantor. He knows in- t tantly and by intuition who is the } west lawyer in the whole country, b f lie is a reading boy, or the best b loctor. Ho can tell you who will i )o the next governor or anything j le politicians are so anxious h e know. le is authority on prize b ights or cards or anything else he e mnows nothing about. And when d ie pronounicos on aaything he has , poken. The governor is "Dick" e oniebody, and the supreme judge i .4 "Tom." And, by the way, he >fton difters with these and other lignitarios. He sings in unearth ly strains, with tendencies to the pathetic and the savago all in a breath. With the big boy there is noth ing medium. He uses adjectivos freely and always in the superla tive. He sees things in strong colors, for he is in the flood of passion. Fight! Yes fight any thing and on the shortest notice. He ought to fight to prove him self, he feels. A bout this time his mind undergoos some radical changs. le wonders at the dull nesH and contrariness of his par onts. It, is a constant worry to him that he can't manage his father without a wvorld of trouble, and he wondlers what is the matter with the "old man" any how. Uhurches anid Sunday schools are too dull for him and the preacheor is just nowhere. He can give him any niumbar of pointers on theology and preaching. Rlushing on and into everything liko mad, he stops short and be wails the coldness of this unfriend ly wvorld. Now he has more "dear friends'' than lie can shake a stick at. now he feels that ho has not a friendl in the wvorld. Hie wvants sy'mpathy, while he tries the pa ionlce of eorybody wvho has any.. thong to (10 with him. Such is the boy in the fool age. The great (question is wvhat to do with him. He is climbing "fool hill" now and the road is bad. Father, mother and friends are all anxious and often vexodl. Hiomes are deprived of all their poace by this groat dlouble action marplot. But the question will not down. What shall we (10 with him? If he is turned loose now, lie will be like a wild engine on the track smashing things. If lie is not handled wvise ly there will b~e a catastrophe. The ever recurring question is: WVhat shall be done with the big boy climbing fool hill? The im pulse often is to let the fool go. Blut that will not do. lie .is now like a green apple--sour, pucker ish and unwholesome ; but like the alpple, if we can save him, he will ripen into something good. We must save him. Saints and angels help us to save this human ship) in the storm, freighted with father's mother's, sister's, brother's love and with the infinite wealh of an immortal nature I We must save him for himself, his loved ones and is country. The chances for saving him will depend mainly on what has been (lone for him before he struck fool hill. If, from infaney, he has has been taught to revere sacred things, if has been taught subjec tion to authority, if his mind h as been stored with scripture texts, with noble poems and recollections of the p~ure, the sweet, the good, you have in him the saving ele ments. We must never forget that in the final analysis, every person saves or loses himself, no matter what influences help or hinder. A well taught boy may climb this lubious hill without a bobble, but if the new life gains the temnporary lead, the chances are that the en luring good elemen~ts will reassert hemelves and become paramount. Reneue the transcendent import,. mee of ballasting this ship betimes, >efore the storm sets in. Noble ambitions early planted aind care- t ully nurtured are of ;great impor- 1 ance.

NEw YoRK, Oct. 22.--Invitations ;o the wedding of Miss Vanderbilt Lud the Duke of Marlborough are )ut. The mails today are carry ng them in all directions. There ire 4,000 issued. They are unusu %lly large and read: Mrs. William Kissain Vanderbilt Requests the honour of your presence at the marriage of her datighter, Conanclo, to The Diuke of Marlborough, on Wednesday, November fl, at twelve o'clock, at Sint Thomas' Church, Fifthx Aventw. Two cards accompany each in vitation. One is for the ceromeny at the church and the other for the breakfast and recep~tion at Mrs. Vanderbilt's house, Madison avenue and seventy-second street. The only things very English about the invitations are their un usually large size, and the fact that the word "honour" is spelled with a "u." Only about 300 out of the 4,000 invitations include a cardl for the reception arnd wed ding breakfast at the seventy-sec onid streaet house.-Philadelphia Press. Rocking Olaitra for Indigesion. A not unpleasant remedy for in digestion is suggested by a medi cal authority. He declares .that by resorting to a slow and regular rocking motion after meals gastro intostinal peristaltis (the worm like motion of the intestine when aiding the digestion of their con tents) is stimulated, and persons whose digestive functions are hab itually sluggish thereby experience marked relief. H-e especially re commends this measure in cases where there is any want of tone of the stomach. The rocking chair should be so constructed as to be set in the nmotion) without much effort, and the inclination of the axis should be sufficient to place the patient in aln almost horizon tal position. Mrs. Christian WVestcott, a soci ety woman of Hartford, Conn., was brought up before the Police Court the .other. day on the oharge of as saulting her daughter Bessie, a seventeen-year-old girl who had besm keeping company with a younig man who was persona non grata to hor mother. Among oth er things Beasie alleged that her mother had bitten her, which alle gation Mrs. Westcott disproved by confessing that she had false teeth, which she exhibited to the Court.
