South Carolina in Congrems, A Washington correspondent of the Greenville News says: During the debate on the Porte Rican tariff bill, among those who made speeches were Representatives Stokes and Talbert, and Wilson, of South Car olina. All of the South Carolina dele gation were opposed to the passage of the bill. Both Senators McLaurin and Tillman are opposed to it and will use their Influence against its passage in the senate. The sentiment is strong against its passage in the senate, and therV-is.no prospect that it may not be considered during the present session, or if it. is that a free trade substitute may be - passed by that body. Thc minority in the senate, it is said, wil resort to all parl iamentar'y means t< defeat the p)assage of i,he message. E8Ar theiho indYoui Have Always Bough luosI0t Love-ly Thing on Ea.rthi.

The birds knew it, and twittcrcd and ciceped, and tuned their voices up and down the scale, to be ready for their part in the chorus. In the small, sun-burnt cottage, half-way up the mountain, a little curly-headed child stirred and cheeped, too. She had gone to bed in the early twilight, and now she was tired of sleep and ready for the new day. "Mammy," said the little moun tain maid, "kin I git up?" 'Yes, child, git up, and wel come,'' answered the mother. "I reckon I must be stirring too." With nimble fingers the child fastened the fewv scanty garments belonging to her and ran out on bare, browvn feet to wash at the little stream belowv the spring. The intense cold of the wvater made her cheeks glowv and her breath come qutickly. "Now,"~' she said to herself, "'I :will gather the eggs for mamnmy and spris her I won' t go fora "basket ; I kin just git 'em in my dlress."

WH EW EMBROIDEF JR STORE AN[ The little face was white with terror, and at first nto sould would coimle to her lips. Then she said faintly : All right ; I've tiiought of a way to keep still." The man and his wife quickly roofed the slight building, making as little noise as possible, and then, climbing out on the chestnut limb that overhung it, Jess' father let down a rope and drew her up, like Jeremiah out of his dutngeon, by the arm-pits. The snakes were promptly killed and the child sat white and Iretb ling on her ihother's ,ap in the cabin's door. "You're a fust-rate soldyer, Jess that's what you be," said her father, proudly. "Iow ever (lid you manage to keep still?" "I jest shet my eyes," said the child, "'and madle out that G;od was holding my feet.'' "llobiding your feet !"' exclaimed' the miani, somuewvhat startled. Jess noddedl. "T1hey'rie teaching me sonme Bible verses at the chapel S'cbbathI School,' ' she said, " andl one of them says, '1l Icwill not sulfier t hy foot to be muoved.'

GOODS, NEW )WDS AT ovol sensation of writing "Mrs." oro her name. An old man told a friend that he vanted to marry before he died, if mly to have some one to close his yos. "Perhaps," suggested the riend, "you will got some one who vill open them." It is not natural or a young girl to wish to marry in old man. A father said to his laughter: "Now, when it is time 'or you to marry, I won't allow you to throw yourself away on one of the frivolous young fellows I see around. [ shall select for you a staid, sensi. ble, middle-aged man--what do you say to one about 50 years of age?" " Well, father," replied the girl, "if it's just the same to you I should prefer two at 25." Perhaps the best advice one could give a young man in this matter is to say: "Wait, until you cannot wait any longer." Wait, that is to say, until sho-that not impossible she comes with smiles so sweet and man ners so gracious that you cannot wait any longer, then marry and you may bo happy ever after. As to the age at which women should marry, I am afraid I will burn my fingers with that question. All I shall say is that if some women are not worth looking at after 30 years of age there are quito as many not worth speak ing to before it. Let a man please himself, but let him not marry either a child or an old woman. NEWVBPAP'E iloltROWING some of the Dangers Attendant Upon This Pernlitus labMt. [Kansas City Journal.) Here is the latest story of the marn who is to stingy to take his home paper: "A man who was too economi cal to take this paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like. warty sumamet squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran in. to thai., breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The old cowv took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield, and killed herself eating green corn, Hearing the racket, the wife ran out, upset a 4 gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens drown. !'ing the whole flock. In the hurry, she dropped a $7 set,of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled milk and into the parlor, ruining a brand new $20 carpet.
