(CONTI NU KU KKOM F1RBT PACK. | Veotion assembled a direct -primary for all tbo elective offices of the State. This was true, genuine Democracy. The people were satisfied with It, and the first evidence of the denial of the right of a majority of the people to control came in the spring of thin year when a number of gentlemen?able, honorable and intluential upon both sides?came together and under a writ ten contract agreed that in the selec tion of delegi tesito this constitutional convention, as far as practicable, the two factions in each county should have equal representation. Perhaps it is known to every member in this convention that I was opposed to this act, which was tantamount to tho repudiation of all the people had fought for and accomplished since 1890. I have never been able to understand many things connected with this agree ment. I could understand why Mr. Bar a well and Mr. Hemphlll, tho load ers of a hopeless minority in the State, should agree to an equal division of the power of this convention, but I re spectfully but humbly submit that it t?as80th my comprehension why the eader, Senator Tlllman, of one of the greatest movements ever known in South Carolina, if not in the whole South, could have agreed, without qualms of conscience, to a proposition of politics so reckless, so violativo of <>very principle of Democracy, of which ha stood pre-eminently the champion, the trusted champion of the people in this State. It may be that he figured the illit ?racy of the Reform movement to bo Jr>,000 j the voting streugth of tho Con servatives to be 40,000, and the num bers of the Reformers at 55,000 loss the 15.000 Illiterates who would be cut off?which would mako the two sides 40,000 and 40,000. If that was the case then that explains the idea of an equal division. I olaimed at that time by letter, and subsequent events conlli med it, that if that contract was carried out it would mean the political destruction, by dis franchisement, of tho poor and unedu cated white man of South Carolina. After a few months, when It had been j thoroughly discussed in every county and township and neighborhood in tho tr " with a few exceptions, this equ 'on idea was repudiated hy tho ? vs in the selection of dele gates? n., ly repudiated but over whelmingly su, for we find 110 Reform ers and fifty <\^nBjaryativeH andjiepub licans In the convention'. M TILLMANS ANSWEE TO IRBY THE G11EA.T SPEECH OF HIS LIFE. He Reviews (ho History of Republi can Rule In South Carolina und Shows the Necessity for White Supremacy. In reply to Senator Irby's attack upon the report of the suffrage com mittee, Senator Tiilman made the greatest effort of his public career. Lo took up tho lirst pdrt of his speech with an exhaustive review of Radical corruption and prolligacy. and used this data of fraud and corruption as a justification of the suppression policy towards tho negro over since. His exposition of tho committee's plan of suffrage was a strong argument, and in substance was as follows : Now, Mr. President, I have already alluded to the fact that it was through tho negroes. In tho oxorciso of their right of suffrage that all this villainy, corruption, misrule and robbery came about, and I eaunot find words in which to paint it. No man on this floor ever dared to leave his lirebide without dread that whon he returned ho would find some harm to his family and he dared not to go forth without being armed. It is this negro govornmont which furnished tho ballot that wo are deal ing with. The negro put his little pieoe of paper in tbe box and gave tho commissions to those white scoundrels who were their loaders and who de bauched them, and this must be our justification and our vindication and our excuse to tbe world that we are met ij^ invention openly, boldly, with out afly'protense to secrecy, to announce ?^fcnat it is our purpose, as far as wo may without coming In contllct with the United States Constitution, to put such safeguards around the ballot in future as to restrict the sulTrage and circum scribe it that this infamy can never come about again. The negroes wore the tools, I acknowledge, tools and participators, tho willing tools, the poor, ignorant cotton tielu hands, who never saw anything except a pistol, ? (and we had to uso them) blindly fol lowed like sheep wherever their white and black leaders told them to go; voted unanimously every time for the "Republican ticket and these result.-, were achieved solely and wholly by reason of the ballot being in hands of such cattle. Is the danger gone V No. How did wo recover our liberty '* Uy fraud and violence. We tried to over come 30,000 majority by honest me thods, which was a mathematical im possibility. A.fter we had borne tho Indignities for eight years lifo became worthless and undor tbe leadership and inspiration of Mart Gary, because he planned and brought about the straightout movement of '7(3 in spite of the low country, fighting on this floor against those who were desirous of, putting Chamberlain forward as a compromise candidate. Under his leadership and through his magnifi cent courago wo won. Edgetiold alone gave us tho oxcuso to claim we had a legal right by her majority. Grant's bayonets were hero to prop Chamber lain in his chair, and we were in sus pense from the meoting of the General Assembly until Hayes's title had been settled by tho doctoral commission in .ularoh. Tho wholo Stato swore to have'?te liberties or die. How did wo bring if about V Every whito man sank his personal feelings and his ambition. The white pcoplo of tho State came together as one. Wo had to resort to more fraud and violenco in 1880. Then the registration law and eight box system was evolved from the superior Intolllgonco of the white man to con trol this muddy surging stream of ignorance and to toll it to go back. Since then wo have carried our elec tions without resort to any illegal me thods, simply because the whites wore * united. H we were to remain united It would still be desirablo thut we should guard against the possibility of this Hood that Is now damming up, or like the serpont that Is asleep only to be warmed into life again, whenever some sore white rascals, native or foreign, come here and mobil izo I bom. Therefore tho only thing we can do as patriots and as statesmen is to take from thorn overy ballot that wc can under tho laws of this national govern V' ment. I read a moment ago from tho report of the committee that, good gov ernment can only rest on intelligence and good morals. I will go further and say, that good government and ropubllcs rests on virtue, patriotism and Intelligenco. The chief amongst tho three is intelli gence. It has been said and it must appear apparent, even if we restrict the suffrage in wo propose, that with 40,000 Conservatives and r>0,000 Refor mers and 15,000 white men disfran-1 ohised that the nogroes arc still here ' In sufficient numbers to control us. ' Are we to besotted, so forgetful and bolivioiiB of the record, which I'have just read to 'you; have nur memories j gnwn so callous that we as a white ? ?we, kinsmen, brothers, common in- | heritors of the glorious past auu the ? freedom transmitted to us by our foro j father*; have we got to the point I where we can not unite as brothers, i throwing out of sight tho petty bicker ings and animosities that wo bavo been brought to in the past five year*, and without regard to personal ambi tion or partisan advantage of anybody take it for granted as white men we can provide to that extent that wo will not nave to appeal to thete people again in sumoient numbers to bring them forward as arbiters of our fate v Can we not rise up to the necessities of the occasion and put into this con stitution such a clause in reference to the suffrage as will guarantee, as far the law can guarantee to future gen erations, that they shall have the blessing of Anglo-Saxon civilization and liberty in this State ? How pitia ble, puerile, how ineffably, unuttera bly contemptible appoar the personal ambitions and petty spites of mon who obstruct this grand and glorious pur pose! 1 am sorry that 1 feel constrain ed briefly to touoh upon this matter now, and I shall be as brief as possible, and I feel almost willing to stop now and leave mint to rod any word in an swer to what was said this morning, and leave it to the patriotism anu .'?> j dorn of this body to move forward anc not hesitate. We were told something, about perfect equality of tho white mon, that the poor tenant, who has nothing but his wife and children, who labors for his daily bread from year's end, gatheriug no property, is equal to the highest man In tho State. I grant it. It has been my cardinal doctrine as a publio man that all white men, as far as the enjoyment of the privileges of government and the emoluments of oilier is conceinod, should ho equal in this State aud that a majority alone should goyern. but that Uoctrlno can not be brought In here as the reason why wo must stop, pause and faltor in our purpose to secure to our posterity ?ood government, unless you carry it urther and if you aro going to bring in universal brotherhood as au argu ment here, then are not the blacks us much entitlod to that consideration as any body? On this question of suf frage it is said that some men will be jeopardized in thoir votes. If there were any way under high heaven by which we could do moro than we have done, in God's name I would glory in the man, bow down and worship him if he would show us. What do they oiler us? A continuation of tho existing conditions and perpetration of fraud, or fraudulent methods and tho sword of Damocles susponds over our heads by a single hair, and swings and swings and swings, and all that is ne cessary to bring about chaos is for a sumoient number of white men ac tuated by hato and ambition and from unpatriotic motives to climb up and cut loose, mobilize and register them, give thorn a voto and a fair count un der^ tho manhood suffrage. Ho went on tb tay, after elaborating thia point: Allusion has been made to the fact that soveralSgentlemen met in this city to see If there could bo any terms of amity, any treaty-of peace between the warring factions in the State and the word ingrate and traitor have been bandied in connection with my name as a participant. What was the condition ? Tho minority faction had opposed almost to a man the calling of this convention, demagogues of a cer tain stripe had used tho newspapers of the State, threatening to terrify the poor whites with the possible and pro bable loss of their ballot if tho conven tion was called. Spartanburg whieh had never suffered from negro domina tion, and whieh can never suffer iu its local affuirs from negro domination, voted overwhelming against the con vention When tho light seemed almost lost and those of us who had struggled for ton years or more, iu season and out of season, whenover au opportunity offered to urge on tho people tho wis dom and necessity for calling a con vention and taking care of our pos terity by limiting tho suffrage, when we felt that the tight was desperate, in October a mooting was called at Ridgeway. The Governor aud myself and the Chairman of tho Democratic executive committee, who has lot bis tongue run so loosely, were invited and promised to go there to discuss it. Whon^tho day camo tho Govornor wis there and spoke true as steel. 1 was i here and talked from the shoulder as I always talk. Where was the chair man of the Democratic party? Mr. Irby: Will tho gentleman allow me ? I do not remember. It has been so long ago, but I did expect to speak there. 1 accepted tho invitation of Mr. Johnson. It was my intection to go, but something occurred at home, cither sickness or something like that kept me from going. 1 would like to ask him one question. Didn't 1 come here, stay anU llgnt as hurd as any man possibly could to carry this conven tion. Mr. Tillman: You did, but you after wards charged that when the battle was on Evans ran out of tho State, whereas Evans was at his post and you at home sick, so you say. Mr. Irby : 1 did l.ot say I was siok. It comes with ill grace from him ul'ter all that has happened In the past that he should charge mo for ono moment with shirking any responsibility or running from unything. I did say that when tho fight' was fiercest, that Gov ernor Evans lied the State and could not be found by telegram or letter, and I assort it for the reason that I asked by telegram, or probably in person, of the brother ol tho Govornor, why it was that he did notcomeand help me in his own election and in this des perate struggle in calling tho conven tion. He-could not tell me whore tho intended Govornor was and on tho night of tho election at 2 o'clock, aftor tho tight had boon won, bofoio the tho smoko of tho battle had cleared away, our young Governor camo into my room and 1 reproached him and asked him why it was that he had loft me in such an extremity and hie1 not come to my assistance, he said: " Well, I have been off to seo my girl." (Laugh tor.) "And I was afraid that you would commit me to somo pledge that I could not carry out." Now, sir, I say that w hon I was hero facing all the dangers of defeat and tho odium of dofcat that he had little to do und bo might have spared the time to como here and help carry un his own election as well as carrying tho convention. Mr. Tlllman: With that 1 have nothing to do. I only mentiou this in cidentally as I mysolf had been accused of certain things and the geutleman should romember that those who Uvo in glass houses should not throw stones, and Inasmuch as he has seen proper to twit me with that It comes with ill grace for me to even insinuate suoh things against him. I take this occasion to let you and tho State of South Carolina know that the appar ent quarrel between tho gontloman and myself Is all of his own make and that I am In no wise responsible. When the Barnwell-Hemphill-Evans Tillman conference was held I wont Into it reluctantly because it brought me into contact with a man, tho editor of Tho News and Courier, who has been most implaoablo and Infamous in his abuse of me in the newspaper, and with Harn well, the recalcitrant loader, a hot Haskellite, who said on this floor " Ben Tlllman shall never be Governor of South Carolina." But as I saw at that time the tension between the factions was such that I every prospect was that we would j havo the Conservatives mobilizing the nogroes in an effort to control I this convention to keep us as they I claimed from doing wrong to their property, their rights and their liber ties, I sunk my personal feeling and went to that conference. We had it in tho Governor's office. It began at 8 o'clock. We talked. Wo jarred and wrangled until 2, and 1 .Leave it to the member* of that ex nfereoee on this i.x?r, that alter having talked over the question as to how wecouldcim together and come to agreement, if I did not m.v, " t ient 1 ie i). do anything | and wu had just as well retlie." There i are meu on thU ll?or who ? ??? present: and they will bear me on'. If not, let them rfse now and deny it. I dictated the terms on which we agi et d. and tho basic principle was that no white man should be disfranchised except for crime, because that was the guiding star which actuated my entire pur pose and action. T would suffer the loss of both of my arms before I would do anything knowingly to jeopardize those rights and not reueoin my pledge to those men. Suppose we had not had any conferenoe, noono knows what might nave happened. HIM, ARP WANTS NO W A It. Knows When lie Has Had Enough? The People are Mo Different lVoiu Old Times. AU is peace and harmony about Atlanta now. but I haven't forgotten when Sherman was throwing his un feeling shollu over the city. Such a panic, Huub a stampede, suoh helpless terror among women and ohlldren I never witnessed. I had gotten my wife and little children away, but I i.u'.' to stay, and theacei.j was as aw ful ab tho picture of death on a pale horse. Everybody and everything that could muve was* moving. Shells are not so terribly destructive, but as Big John said that day, they aro tho "most porlly/.iug thing" in tho world. 1 mot him on Decatur street, making tracks toward Stone mountain, carrying his three bundrod pounds of llesh?most of It In front. Big beads of perspiration were on his forehead and ho was car rying his wig In ono hand and an old carpet bag In tho other. " Whore now, mv friend ?" said I. " Anywhere In this direction," said he, with a dis tressing smile. " I am bound to keep ahead of 'em, tho infornal devils. They don't travel fast, thank the Lord." " Where is your cart and steer V" said L " Sold 'era- sold 'em to a tree nigger for two hundred dol lars Confederate monoy. about enough to keep mo in vlttlon and whiskey for a week." '* And thou what?" said [. " Jino tho conscript camp at Decatur," said ho. and ho mopped the sweat off his head and face with his big ban dana handkorohief. Another shell sang through tho air and Dig John moved on with alacrity, never even said good by. but hallooed back, " Pray for mo Bill." Tho next week 1 got him a placo in the orulnunce de Birtment at Macon under General owell Cobb and left him sittiug on a box full of guns. Ho placed two boxes ! close together for a bed and said he should sleep on his arms. Tho shells kept coming on making their parabolas and singing and Blz zing in tho circumambient air. I hud sorter gotten used to shells In old Vir ginia and so ventured to walk down naif a mile on Walton street to see what had become of an old uncle and his family who lived there. His four boys were all in the war, but my uncle and aunt and their only daughter lived there. 1 found them huddled up^ in tho basement, for a shell had al ready torn part of tho roof away and they had moved?moved lower down, and were waiting, waiting, ho said, to see what tho Lord or tho devil would do. They escaped unharmed. Gne of their absent boys was killed and an other was trimmed up, but that was I the common lot. But now everybody 1 is happy except some?everybody ex cept tho very rieh and tho very poor. That is why old Augur didn't want to do either. Just the expression of the people you moot?meet on tho trains or at tho depots or tho fair grounds or on tho stroets or in the churches. How much more pleasant it is than a few months ago. How happy are tho ?'?<> men and children. How cordial the greetings betwoen tho North and tho South?the blue and tho gray. The fact is, when our Northern brethren come down hero and eat our barbe cued meat and receive our hospitality and look at our beautiful women ttiey are nearly ready to apologize for everything they have dono to us or said about us. I've been waiting for thorn to apologize for twenty-five years, but they say they can't do it consistently until they begin to pen sion our soldiers and our widows and orphans. 1 believe they will paws a pension law for our soldiers about the timo they are all dead, for it is a fact that unpensioned soldiers do dio. " Timo outs down all, Both great and small, Except a pensioned soldior." An insurance man told me that a man who was drawing a pension could got his life insured for half price. It is curious how short sigiited aro tho wisest and the greatest men. Cal houn and Davis and Stephens and Henry Clay and John Kaudolph all said that no races of people could ever live togother in peace unless one was in Subjection and under the elvil do minion of the other. That has proved a mistake. We aro living together now on terras of civil equality and get ting along fairly well. Giddings and Phillips and all the abolition leaders said that just as soon as a war broke out tho negroes would rise up and kill and burn and destroy all over tho South. They did nothing of the kind. Nathaniel Hawthorne said : " I am for the war, but I don't understand what wo aro fighting about or what good results can come from it. I re jolco that the old union is smashed. We never wore one people and never will bo. If we pummel tho South over so hard they will love us none tho better." But tho union is not smashed. It is stronger than ever and Dana says the nation will .have, to look to the South for its preservation?preservation from anarchy and Isms that seem to breed and fester and flourish in tho North. And Chauncey Dupew says the South is fuller than ever of the old spirit? tho old Hag and tho old desiro for an appropriation. Yes, confound him, I like Chauncey, but why didn't ho men tion that the North got !);") per cent, of all the appropriations, all the money that is spent on the irmy and navy and public printing and supplies of I every kind, while uil wu got is a little custom house und postotlleo hero and thero and for thoso wo htivo to tako a Northern architect and build it with Nortborn stone or brick and till it with Northern furniture. Confound 'em, dogon. They throw a sop to us onco 'n a while, just like throwing a bouo to a dog. Novor mind. If they do get up a war with some foreign country they will want us to do the lighting and we expect to havo it to do, hut they will have to apologize and heal up tho old soro tlrst. Now mark my prediction. If a war does become imminent be tween this country ami any one of tho groat powers, some fellow from Massa chusetts or Tom Iteed irom Maine will introduce a bill to give pomden-t and back pay to tho Southern soldiers. Up to dato thore has boen paid $2,000, 000,000 in pension*, since tho war and the Grand Army is howling for more and Mr. Clevoland and Carlisle liavo to keop issuing bonds to keep up with it. But lot the ptocosalon proceed. Mr. Lochron says ho thinks that some of the pensioners will begin to dio oh* next year. Some of thorn are moving down to Georgia and buying land and building towns in the piny woods. That's all right, Wo woloomo any Northern man who comes here to stay. They are most always good citizens. The mean ones don't come. They had rather stay npet'hore* and abuse us. A man told me trrat about half of the G. A. R.'s who cam ? to the Louovllle en campment the othor day were foreign ers, who didn't speak English and came with one ohirt and $2 and didn't change either fill they got bpok home. But we are ha/monlzlng at last and we wit at everybody from ?p tbere to come down to oar dhow. There are a good iiinnH, *igr>8 of coming peace aud good will between the seotions. A North ern Democrat sent my wife u photo graph of jloooln ad he whs awt?y back iu the fifties ?Lincoln In the wood-, Lincoln the rail epiittor?and nays ho j bait had it tblrty-three years'. It id a remarkable picture?the uio*t earne. t I and serious and the ugliest white man I ever saw on a cardboard. It id strangely attractive, and you never get tired looking at it. No wonder he captivated the common people. Mr. Kuhleman writes that he wauts us to be reconciled to old Abe. Well, wo are. The South admired him and re veres bis memory. Ho was the best public man tbo North had. He was honest, sincere and big hearted. But from all the Shermans may the good Lord deliver us. And now I think I feel better. General Palmer made mo mad in his Grand Army speech at Louievillo. He is a brag and demagogue and I'm bound to got even with him and his .sort. BiL.1, Am*. HOW QUARRELS BEGIN. Didn't know we'd ever been parted, huh ! Well, reekon wo don t iook much Hko it now. But wo wu/M never theless, reg'lar out an' out' parted mo an' Mandy. That were more'n ten years ago, though, when we wuzn'tso nettled in the head us we air now, aud there weren't nono o' thoso ehattorln' llttlo heart-holders to bind us together. It wus the second year of our mar riage, an* I've sometimes thought soncy that there must a'bon somothin' in tho air that season, a kinder epidemic o' partin', an' wo ketehed it. Why, l mind more'n a dozen Bloh partiu's down at the Fork's 'oout that timo. There was Jim I'ooblos loft bin wife and wont clare out to Californy, an'? Kate Carter an' her man busted up before they'd been married six months, an' there was lots of others that I don't think of jest now. Weil, everybody was tnlkin' 'bout these Illings an' our minds, like too rest, wir/, just plumb full of 'em, toll it got so every timo we'd have a little spat?OZ man an' wife often will, you know?we'd just more'n threaten each other with lo?vin.' Woll, don't you know things like that grows on you : they did on us, an' after while wo WUZ both jest lookin' arouu' to lind some thin' to be erritated by, an' that's tho easiest thing to lind in the world. Bat o' course, man like, I had to make a fool o' myself first. Seems like I've jest got a ?iiiack fur doin' that sort o' thing. You see, when 1 married Mandy. I ! korried her otT from a lot. o' other ! fellers that jest wanted her 'bout ez bad ez I did ; fur she wir/, counted naehully the handsomest girl t hat ever set foot in the Forks. Now the feller that give mo the very hat dost chase for Mandy weren't nobody but my own chum, Uill Meeks?you've heerd tell of Bill Meeka, I know: everybody 'beut here knows him. Well. Bill an' ine wuz great pardners. an' we must a' ben right smart similar, for it 'ucared like Mandy couldn't no ways oho >se between us. Furt' near fallin' out about it, too, Bill an'me, but we didn't. Finally Mandy she got her mind made up. an' when 1 popped the third or fourth time, 1 reckon, sho said, "Well, Bill's nice an' you're nice, but you're the one I love, John." So wo wus married an' went to house keeping an' Bill, 'cause wo wu/, pard ners, an' he'd alters laid around where I wu/. anyhow, wuz alters at our house. 1 liked him, an' Mandy liked him, an' 1 never thought notion' of it, toll this i here partiu' bee got into my bonnet. Thon 1 jest got mortally certain that Bill wore makin' eyes at my wife an she at him, an' the Devil got into mo. When Bill ud come I'd git up an' go out. Now you know of I'd ben really jealous 1 wouldn't 'a' doue that, but I jest tried to persuade mysoif that I wu/. deceived in Mandy till 1 got to believin' it fur sure. But Bill, good, ole, easy, blind Bill, he never seed nothin', an' jest kop on a-comin'. 1 know Mandy had to stan' lots them days, fur 1 wu/. constantly snappin' at her an' a-throwin' up Bill in her face. An' 1 ust to tell her that If sho wanted BUI Meeks she ought to married him m the first place. I reckon I plumb aggervated that woman ontell she got tosayin' that she'd do like Kitty Carter done by her man, an' then I said I gue....vd I'd follor Jim Peebles1 example. An' so things went on, us a-fussin'an' a spattin' like two fools, toll 1 put the eapsheaf on by orderin' Mandy to furbid Bill to the house. I didn't have backbone enough to do it myself. An' she said sho wouldn't; he didn't como there to seo her, ho was a friend o' mine, an' allers' had ben. "Ho ain't no friend 0* mine," says I. " He's a interloper an'a deceiver !" " Ho is your friend," she cried, "and he's been good an' gentle an'at tentive just tlio same ez a brother, an' if vom had any sense you'd know that I-I?" Sho broke down an' went to cryiu' an' that made me maddor'n ever, fur I thought sho wus cryin' on Bill's ac count. So I says jest ez stern ez 1 could : "Well, of you're a llvin' in my house an' a-eatin' otT o' my table and think moro o' Bill'n you do o' mo I reckon It's time fur us to quit. Yo' kin go to your folks an' I'll go to mine an I'm sorry 1 ever loft 'em fur you." I feel like kiekin' myself fur a brute every time I think about them words o' mine. But spunk?that little woman had moro spunk'n a Ohio volunteer. Sho jest got up quiet like an' wont to packin' some tilings to lake along with her. I couldn't set there an' watch hor, fur scmethin' kep' eomin1 up in my throat that it hurt rno to swaller down, so I wont out an' put up the chickens. When I come back she was goin' out the fropt door and she took the key jest like sho allus did ez if she were eomin' back again. She looked back at me a longin', lingcriu'. lovin' look, with her eyos full o' tears?a look that I never shell furgit?a' then with the little bundle under hor arm went on ?down the street. An' I went an' foil down by the little hair trunk that ust to he hers an' kissed it an' kissed it an' pulled ray hair an' cursed tho day that I saw her, fur I wuz still a-foolin' mysoif a-tryin' to think that 1 wuz wronged. I shut up tho house und wont homo to my father's. They asked ine to sup* per, but I couldn't eut no supper that night. I told 'em all uhout it, hut not a word did they say ag'in Mandy, an 1 bless 'em to-day fur it. Father wu/. gruff an' he said I wu/. a a fool ; hut mother, bless her, she knowed how to teeh a feller, an' she wipod her dear old eyes, an' said : ''woll John, you'll never git another'n liko Mandy." Weil, you know that jest made me worse, an1 I went to bod?woll, you needn't bo slttin' there grinnln' liko a blamed idjit, cause the smoke's blowed into my e/es an' makos o'm water now | ?yes, I did. I wont to bod an' cried myself to sleep like a child. When I got up noxt mornin' I told fathor that I'd holp him with the chores, but, bloss my soul, I couldn't do a thing fur'runnin' down into the back yard an' Icanin' on the fence, lookin' over the roofs towurds Mundy's house. After ono trio down there, joat ez. I was eomin' back to tho houso, I soon father huggin' mother in thu kltohen, an' then bo stepped out an' hollorod of I couldn't do no bottor'n I wuz I'd better go back to my wifo. I reokon it must e' brought back their young married days. So 1 slips out o' tho back gate, a thinkin' I'd walk past my own little house, an think o' Mandy, an' mobbo go past her folkeos' house an'got a glimpse o' her, fur heavens, man, I wuz soul hungry for my wife. Highort of all in Leavening Power.?Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY MIBE 1 wuz gottin' near the house when I locked up true chimbly, an', oh the Bite ! There wo/, smoke eomin' from it! I staggeied up to the fence an' grabbed a pal In' ? 1 bad to hold myself up, and thou Mandy?my Mandy? oamo to the dour, un' when she saw .b)io put her aproti to her eyes. I don't knew how 1 got in, whether I opened the gate or dumb the fence; but I do know that in h minute 1 wuz down on my knees at that little wo man's feot aud sayin'; 'Furgivo me, Mandy ; furgivo mo, an' take mo back.' i novor kuowed a little woman wus no strong.

There are boys' looms whore love und good seine und artistic taste have gone hand in hand, and achicv e I a result that has seemed to the htppy occupants the one thing to be desired in the way of a room. A fair-sized upurtmcnt, with a smaller one opening out of it, is the, beau ideal of u boy's particular re have in his college days. Here he can work his own sweet will with'n reasonable bounds, and invite a croiiy or two to enjoy his particular section of the family roof, and it was such an arrangement as this that the youthful owner at first sight pronounced " lit for a king." It had been done slowly and with much consideration, while the fif teen-year-old boy was still at school, und it greeted him like a finished picture at his home-coming. There was no lavish expenditure, yet the arrangement called for a reasonable amount of money, and this is often forth-coming in cases where no ap proach to anything like success has been achieved. The rooms wore not so sunshiny us could bo desired, but they were the only ones available for the pur pose, and the best was made of them in every way. When quite ready for occupancy they really looked sunshiny. The sleeping-room was rather small, and the door between was re moved, while, instead of a potiere, a deep valance of coarse ecru linen, embroidered in outline stitch with poppies and daffodils, was hung across the upper part of the opening. treat, uud more This hannonizied with the wood work, a light golden shade of brown, and with all the other belongings. The walls were in golden-tinted cream, with a frieze or sealing-wax red, and this seemed to fill the rooms with warmth and brightness at once. Both were done alike, and the frieze was finished with gill moulding on either side. Then tht floors were taken in hand, and care fully stained to match the wood work. A beautiful .Japanese rug was then laid down ill the centre of eaeli room, and fastened with rings to brass-headed nails in the floor, which made if an easy matter to take them up and shako them when the room was swept, and yet kept them in place Cor ordinary use. The two rugs wore exactly alike, differing only in size, the ground work being of u rich red with a cen tral enclosure of cream-color, on which were figures in pink and hint outlined with darker red and black. The bedroom had a read enamell ed iron bedstead, a fac-similo in color of the frieze and the bed-cov erings were of creamy white, re lieved by a down comfortable of Turkey-red across the foot. The chest of drawers and the dressing table and chairs were enamelled in cream pioked out with red, and the broad convenient wash-stand showed the same coloring. There wore a few pictures in thh room?a line engraving of the Sis tine Madonna, a colored photograpl of the mother whose labor of love it had been to lit up the rooms for he) boy, and anot her of the boy himself at the age of long curls and tin) knickerbockers.
