If the Governor doesn't let up on the parole there won't l>e much use for a pay-roll any |longer at the penitentiary. What a big mistake Dr Bigham and W B Avant made to run away, when had they gone to the "pen" they would no doubt have been pardoned or paroled after a few months' imprisonment. If Attorney Felder is "suably solvent," as he claims to be, and Governor Blease is innocent of the charges, as he claims to be, it seems that the Governor has a chance to y recover more in a libel suit than his present office would pay in many a year. The burden of proof rests on Felder, and the letters should speak \ for themselves For a man whose conscience is clear it looks like a "cinch." Effort is being made to work up maudlin sympathy on behalf of Dr Bigham, who, with W B Avant, was convicted of killing Mrs Ruth Crisp Bigham, the young wife of Dr Big ham, at Murrell's Inlet al>out two years agi>. Inasmuch as Bigham and Avant are both fugitives from justice, neither having served a single day of his sentence, there seems to l>e very little ground on which to base a petition for pardon. To those most familiar with the case, V one fact stands out clearly: If Avant * be guilty, so is Bigham; and if Dr Bigham l>e turned loose, in common justice Avant should go free as well. A Card.

(Ella Wheeler Wilcox ha9 written many booksof veise cf more or less merit, but her chief bid for fane is based on the following poem, than which few more appealing bits of verse have appeared in modern literature). Laugh, ard the world laughs with you; Weep, and vou weep alone. For the sad old earth must borrow itsmirth, But has trouble enough of its own. Sing, and the hills will answer; Sigh, it is lost on the ear. The echoes bound to a joyful sound. But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go. They want full measure of all your pleasure, But do not need your Y'oe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all. Th ire are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life's gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die. There is room in the nwls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But*one by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain. ?Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

At least one woman has served in the United States navy. But according to Edgar Sranton Maclay, writing in the Bluejacket, she has the roll to herself. Her real name T ?- ? t>_I? 3 1 : waii .LiOuise auu, iiatmg culisted as a marine, she served throughout the war of 1812 on the famous frigate Constitution. "For nearly three years," she says, "I passed for and performed the duties of a marine, during which time I was in three severe engagements and never absented myself from my post in time of danger. I have, like others, of the ship's crew, freely associated with mv shipmates both at sea and on shore. "And yet, as extraordinary as it may appear, I have not the most distant idea that a single soul on board ever had the slightest suspicion of my sex. I have thoroughly studied the memoirs of Miss Deborah Sampson (who, disguised as a man, served in the Continental arrry during the Revolution without her identity being discovered), and by strict adherence to the precautionary means bv which she was enabled to avoid an exposure of her sex I also was enabled to conceal mine." The Constitution engaged in three of tfte more important single ship actions of the nineteenth century, that with the Guerriere, the Java and the double action with the Cvane and Levant. Speaking of the action with the Guerriere Miss Baker says: "I was all this time in the top plying my faithful musket with the best success whenever the smoke would permit me to see a bluejacket of the enemy. In the heat of the action a fminpshnt: Ktrnrk and snlintered the ^...J 1 butt of my musket. It was noticed by oae of my comrades who stood within a few feet of me, who, patting me on the shoulder, exc aimed: "'Never mind it, George! You have won- laurels sufficient to recommend you to the pretty girls when you return to port/ " Landed Him. She was a woman stunning; Be was a man of chink. , And when she went a-gunnlng Her weapon was a wink, lfore fatal that than ball and t owder, Though the report Is hardly louder.

The Danish classification of rank is a very elaborate one, built up of I offices, orders, birth and titles, | writes J. Brocnner in "Danish Life In Town and Country." There are nine classes, which are divided into as many a3 a dozen subsections, each I of which may agaih comprise a score or two of different titles and I offices, yet there was a complaint in one of the Danish papers that it was anything but complete. Holders of titles have to pay an annual tax ranging from $44.50 in the first class to a miserly $3.33 in ! the ninth. There are about a score of different titles, several of which j are again divided into "real" and ; "others," the "real" being several shades better than the "others." ' These titles are always used in conversation, as, for example, "Will not the chamberlain have a cigar?" 1 or "Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have a cigar?" And it requires a i fairly clear head and a good memory to give even*body his due in a large party, especially as some of them are decorously long, as, for instance, geheimeconferentsraad. Then there are ladies, who generally have "inde" (the English "ess") added to their husbands' title or office. A colonel's wife, for instance, is called oberstinde, and the wife of the chamberlain to the king kammerherreindc, and so forth. But the subtleties of the additional titular address in writing even excel the verbal form. That f>ersons of the first rank are "excelencies" is only natural, but gentlemen of the second class have on documents addressed to them a "high well born" prefixed to their title and name, and those of the third class a "high and well born." I much regret that I cannot explain why the addition of this "and" should somewhat detract from the value of the same words. Gentlemen of the ninth class are addressed as "well honorable and well bred," which is, I think, almost more than they could expect for their $3.33. Tho Revolver Won. Robert Pinkerton once told a story of his father, the founder of the detective agency, which illhstrates the elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted criminal was detained in Pinkerton's Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton left the room and when he returned took the precaution of holding a revolver in front J l oi mm. He saw the criminal standing by the door with a snuffbox he had Eicked up from Pinkerton's desk in is hand. 'This is good snuff/' affably remarked the crook as he took a sniff. 'Tor the eyes or the nose ?" asked Pinkerton, who knaft that the crook had intended to blind him in an effort to escape. "Well," remarked the criminal, I'm sorry to say that the nose gets it this time." An Opportunist. Some facility in trimming sails to the passing breeze was very useful to the newspapers of a hundred years ago. This is how one of the Paris papers announced the arrival and advance of Napoleon after his escape from Elba: "The Corsican brigand has landed at Cannes;" the next day, 'The rash usurper has been received at Grenoble." Then the tone changed: "General BonaSarte has entered Lyons;" a few ays after, "Napoleon is at Fontainebleau," and finally, "His majesty the emperor alighted this evening at his palace of the Tuileries." Mr. C. F. Warwick recalls the incident in "Napoleon and the End of the French Revolution." Friendly Counsel. Harrison S. Morris, the Philadelphia poet, listened at the Franklin inn one evening to the rather offensive boasting of a rich young amateur actor. "By the way, Mr. Morris," the amateur finally said, "the Browning ociety is going to put on 'The Blot on the Escutcheon/ and they want me to take par; in it. Now, you know my style. You've seen me act in Germantown. What part do you think would suit me best?" "The 'blot,' ny boy," said Mr. Morris, with his quick, nervous laugh. "Go in, bv all means, for the 'blot.'"?Washington Post. His Bluff Quickly Called. "I want you to understand," he said, "that I'm the master in this house." "All right," she replied. "Go out and tell the cook that we're going to have company all next week." Then he put on his hat and went sway, making sarcastic remarks about people who were afraid to say ^heir souls were their own.?Chijago Record-Herald.
