A few years ago Gladstone, Bis march, and Blaine were the lights in three great nations. To day Blaine is dead, Bismarck retired, and Glad stone in the afterglow of his most glorious career. Three great men, the veritaWe kings of their time, are all passed from the scenes which they have done no-little to create. And as it appears now there is no one to take their places. The Uni ted States needs a great man now, a Moses to lead it from the toils of doubt and cfiange, if it ever has been in neea 01 one. ungianu, wnue not in immediate need as a nation, will sadly miss Oladstone as a mediator between the throne and the sublet ; and Germany has not yet replaced the Iron Chancellor, despite the per sonal ambition of the young Empe ror to assume at once that and his own proper position. There have been but few. genera tions of men in which some man did not rise high above his fellows in public life ; but we have reason to think that the present in the United States will be one of the few excep tions. Whither shall we look for our great man a greater, indeed, than Blaine? Cleveland is either very great or very rash to have taken the steps of his second administration ; and he has yet to manifest abiding greatness. There is no man in his cabinet, or under his appointment. McKinley is the idol of certain class es. but they are too limited to estab lish his claim to greatness ; Reed is a partisan leader of undoubted ability, but he makes no higher pretensions ; Sherman is a man of experience, but that is all that can be said of him ; and Harrison has been too easily for gotten. Voorhees, Hoar, Gorman, Gray, Crisp, Wilson, and a score of ness, but none of them stand out prominent individually ereat. The fact is, all our men in public life fall far short of the standard of ereatness set by a recent historical biographer. K is a day of the medi ocre. Men are narrowed and stinted to stand - becomingly on platforms, the man above his party is ostracised, the independent is a despised "mug wump," originality is treachery. We do not think that such a state of af fairs necessarily presages evil. Plat forms are good enough, if they are not ambiguous, and those who stand on them keep their pledges. A lead er may mislead, but a platform can be studied by the people, and if it is based on wromg principles, the peo ple will have only themselves to blame ; a leader is usually idolized, but a plattorm is regarded as a tem porary instrument, designed tor a specific purpose, and, useless after its purpose has been accomplished. We need a leader now because of pecu- conditions. In an ideal State a lead er would be impossible, and even now, integrity, decision of character and determination will supply our need.

After saying that a town which has good churches in excellent repair and builds new and better ones whenever these are needed, presents a fine re cord for itself to all travelers, the Baltimore American adds : "Articles in magazines and news papers declare that the church inter ests of many of the New England towns are becoming desperate. Rev. William B. Hale, in giving an analy sis of one of these towns, says the eight denominations have 2,300 ad herents, and that there are 4,500 per sons who have no affiliations of any sort with any religious body. He continues : 'There were last Sunday in the fifteen churches of the town less than 1 ,200 people ; that is, for every three persons wno went to church there were seventeen who did not go. Most of the religious societies are in debt, ever church is of wood, and several of the organiza tions have neither a church nor a hope of having one.' " The Boston Herald admits the r truth of these statements. That pa per says : 'Mr. Hale's paper is a faithful statement of the decadence of reli gion and the present makeshifts to secure its maintenance in a great many respectable country towns." We suppose that as to this matter Virginia presents a marked contrast to New England. We do not sup pose that the churches in the State (whether you speak ol the edifices or of the people) were ever before in so good a condition as now. Rich mond Dispatch. Specimen Case. S. H.

Gladstone and the Queens The London Chronicle is making much ado over the circumstance that Queen Victoria in accepting the res-' ignation of Mr. Gladstone made no expression of regret, or sorrow, or gratitude in parting with him. There is nothing very remarkable about this, and the English people general ly, it is safe to say, do not care a penny whether Her Majesty has any personal sympathy toward Mr. Glad stone or not. It is well known that she never liked him. He is a plain-spoken man, who is as averse to flattery for himself as he is to extending adula tion to others. He. was never at home in the atmosphere of royalty, and the Queen was never much at ease in so democratic a presence as his. It will be remembered, furtner- more, that Victoria has taken similar eaves of Mr. Gladstone on several occasions before, and in no instance did she indicate regret at his depar ture. i ne unronicie says thai she ac cepted Lord Salisbury's resignation with "much regret," but at the same time admits that the phrase was an extraordinary one and in the Queen's reign unprecedented. How it hap pened to be used thus exceptionally we may never know, but as there had been no precedents for it in the past, it is safe to conclude that it was not to be made a precedent for the future. The whole business is of a perfunc tory character. The resignation was put up record in the court circular, and it was "generously accepted." It is doubtful if the Queen herself wrote anything more than her signature. The limits ot ' royalty in the declara tion of political opinions, as in the performance of political acts, are very closely drawn. Her Majesty was no more called upon to write Mr. Glad stone a letter ol regret than she would be to define the politics of the government in her speech to Parlia ment. "Graciously accepted" is good enough, anyhow. It is no doubt all the Queen intended to say, and quite as much as Mr. Gladstone would want her to say. If she had said more he would simply know that she was saying what she didn't really mean. Washington Post Why do you endure the agony of dys pepsia? Simmons Liver Regulator will always cure you.. A Coin'a Return. It is not often that a marked coin once put into circulation is returned to the person who marked it. Mr. George Troup, superintendent of Forest Lawn cemetery, before he left Scotland, had his name stamped upon a coin of the issue of George II It was done in fun, and at that time he never dreamed that that coin would ever be returned to him. The coin was put into circulation, and short time afterward Mr. Troup came to this country. More than 30 years passed by, and he thought nothing more about the circumstance. One day a friend of his at lodge said to him, "I have a coin with your name upon it." "I asked him to let me see the coin," said Mr. Troup, "and when looked at it I found it was the iden tical piece that I had marked so long ago. 1 wrote to tne man wno was present when the coin was marked in Scotland, and he recalled the circum stance, and I got the coin from my Buffalo friend, and now I would, not take a good sum of money for it. Where the coin had been during the 30 years no one knows, but it is strange coincidence that it should have turned up to me in Buffalo, the horns I had adopted." Buffalo Ex press. The Madera Way.

At two o'clock last night Mrs. Pink owell, whose home is on corner of Graham, and Eleventh streets, was awakened by cries which seemed to be the voice of an infant and on the back porch of the house. She aroused Mr. Powell and they investi gated. ' On the back porch near their win dow they found a basket which was full of clothing, and which, upon ex amination, was found to contain an infant girl. The child was cold, though it had been very snugly wrapped in the basket. The infant was taken to the fire and examined. It was a healthy looking child with arge, honest, blue eyes and dark nan-, it seemed to be particularly bright. , None of the child's clothing a. was good except it's knit hood, which was composed of eleganlj material and contained every color oflthe rainbow. In the basket with the child was found thefbllowing note, which was cleverly disguised, the writer being far more intelligent than she would appear. The writing was done with a led pencil, and was in a delicate - feminine hand : Dear Kind Friend: As God oveth and taketh care of you, so do I ask in the name of Jesus, who will one day say to you, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these little ones ye nave done it unto Me," to take this precious little one which I am not able to sustain. It is not my pleasure, oh no! to part with her. But I . am forced through poverty, the great enemy of man kind, to give her into hands that I know are able, to care for it. Oh, let your kind, generous heart respond td this act ot mercy and charity, and may God's richest bles sings attend you. If I can ever be able to reward you I will most as suredly do so. The time may come when I will be able to take her ; and if that time comes I will see you and reward you. But in case she has twined herself around you, I would not pain your heart by causing a separation, but let you claim her, only leaving a mother s blessing. Please be kind enough to register baby's name "Pauline Constance No. 4" in the court house registry that I may find her when I am more fortu nate. And may the great King of Heaven richly reward you. Please, oh please ! take her to your loving heart and kindly treat her. Don t fear any ill consequences from this. And aeain, may God bless ! you and tender your heart towards her, and its mother's tears and pray- j ers be a safeguard to you. Its Mother. Birthday, January 10th. There were many callers at the Powell residence this morning, all drawn there through curiosity to see the cast-of little waif. Mrs. Ed. Crump, of North C. street, spoke for the child and it was given her to raise. Efforts will be made by the police to reveal the mystery and lo cate the wicked mother. Babies are evidently in demand in Charlotte, for already four offers to adopt the child have been received. Charlotte Observer.

There was a young Irish gentleman named Gal lagher from the north on board, who had arranged to stop over at Mr. S. McStafford's for a few day's hunt. He had never been south before, be ing a business man and therefore kept close at wark. He nevertheless had his native fire and grit. When the train stopped the young stranger alighted from th car, his baggage was taken off, and every thing was ready for the engineer to pull out for Charlotte, when a loud mouthed negro shouted : "Let'er go Gallagher!" Before the echo of the words had died away, the young stranger point ed his fish squarely cn the negro's open mouth, and stopped his racket.

We have the word of Alfred Ten nyson for it that in the spring the young man's fancies lightly turn to thoughts, of love. It is singular that the great laureate omitted to mention the fact that it is in the spring that a considerable portion of the human race turn to taking Hood's Sarsapar illa. Probably nothing but the diffi culty of finding a good rhyme for that invaluable remedy deterred him. Certain it is that the old-time domes tic remedies are generally discarded in . favor of the standard Dlood puri fier, Hood's Sarsaparilla, which has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite Spring Medicine. - It purifies the blood and gives nerve, mental, bod ily, and digestive strength.
