For the Democrat Senator Quay has by unan imous consent been selected as the republican Jonah, and there exists the best of reas ons for believing that he will be asked to retire, not only from the chairmanship of the republican National com mittee, but to resign his membership. It would have been done before now, but that the question of what to do with .1. S. Clarkson has not been decided. Clarkson is vice-chairman of the commit tee and has always been an humble too of Quay's, and there is a feeling among infill ential republicans against his being made chairman of the committee, as he would naturally expect, when Quay retires. As soon as a sat isfactory solution of that difficulty ia reached Mr. Quay will receive what the boys call the "grand bounce." Quay is now in Florida, and Clarkson is also down South somewhere. They both thought it a good time for disappearing for a while. Mr. Harrison is having a terrible time over the Force bill. Mr. Blaine whose pre dictions about the tariff bill have materialized so soon, and a few other prominent republicans are trying to persuadehim to let the Force bill alone in his message to Congress, which he is now preparing, and the radical clement in his party which embraces nine-tenths of its recognized lend is. are urg ing him to insist upon the immediate passage by the Senate of the bill. Mr. Har rison is very badly frighten ed at the iornndo of popular disapprobation that struck his admin stiation and par ty on election day, and would most willingly take Mr. Blaine's advice, but for the fact that he had committed himself in favor of the Force bill last summer. Senator Blackburn has made public a scene which took place in a Senate com mittee room last summer where he was the only demo crat present, and where Mr. Blaine stated in the plain est language that if the Mc Kinley bill, which was then before the Senate committee, was passed it would ruin the republican party and pre vent its electing the Presi dent in lb02. lie became so excited during his denuncia tion of the measure that he smashed a new silk hat which was lying before him on a table. Mr. Blaine has not changed his mind. It will be many a day be fore the democrats get through enthusing over the re.'cnt election. Every train brings in prominent demo crats, aiidj every arrival means a Iresu jubilee. 1 lu local democrats nreel a sa lute of 52 guns Friday night, a 1 1 hoimh Col. Ernst in cha rge of public buildings and grounds, did Ins hest to pre vent it by refusing to give them a. permit to fire them in the same place that the re (Uihiicans were granted a sirnihar permit two years ago. but. that didn't prevent it nothing could. Thegnns were fired, and close enough to the White House for Mr. Harrison to enjoy the music. Under this administration Federal employes are slaves. An estimable lady clerk in the Washington City Post Office is now under suspen sion, because she repeated a jovial remark of a fellow clerk to Dick Quay, a son of the Senator. Dick presented an order for the Senator's mail at the general delivery window and the lady went back in the office and inquir ed where the Senators mail was. "Oh he's dead, and his mail's gone tothedead letter office," said one of the clerks laughingly. The lady walk ed back to the window and thoughtlessly repeated the remarks to Dick, who, by by t he way she did not know. He went to t he Post Office department and reported the lady as having insulted him and his father, and an order was issued to the City Post Master for her immediate suspension. Mr. Wanamaker has not made a popular official, but now that reports of the pend ing failure of his big Phila delphia firm are circulated a great deal of sympathy is expressed for him, and it is hoped that the claims of his friends he is not here that the rumor was originated by Jay Gould for the purpose of injuring Mr. Wanamaker's credit, because of his M'tsis tency in behalf of a postal telegr iph system, to whic h Mr. Gould is opposed, may prove to be true. It is not often that the leaders of a political party have to complain because they aie given too much by the voters of the country, but that'll about the condi tion of the democratic lead ers. 1 hey fully appreciate the emphatic endorsement of the principles of the party given by the people, but they would have anticipated far less trouble had their major ity been about a hundred .it . less in the next House it is now so large that it actually causes anxiety. The feeling that the short session of Congress will, in its anxiety to pass political legislation, neglect to pass all of the regular appropria tion bills, and thus make an extra session of the Fifty seeond Congress, in the spring, necessary to provide for the needs of the Govern ment, has pi eci pita ted the campaign for thespeakership and the other officers of the next House.

It is always better for a man to be several years the senoir of his wife. And I'll tell you why. The average girl who marries God bless her stays at home, and makes a home a blissful abid ing place for her husband and her children. The man goes out into the world and has the responsibility of car ing for those who are at home; and yet, time does not seem to set its seal on him as it does on a woman. The cares of life ruffle her, and too often make her look, as we say, "old before her time." Now even when this does not happen, she does proportion ately grow old in appearance sooner than a man, and for that reason she wants to take the benefit of the doubt and let him have the added years to start with. Then, too, you should de sire to kep your heart and mind young; to be his intel lectual companion, and this is much easier when your husband is old enough to be "the guide, philosopher and friend." The love of a wo man to her husband always has a little of the maternal in it that is right and ten der but she does not wish to be mistaken for his moth er. Bo wise and marry a man older than yourself; one who has seen life m its many phases and who can guide you over the rocky place; one who has learned that it is not wise to obey impulse, but that any important du ty should be well thought over.

They sat together on the warm sparkling sand, the mother and child. The tiny golden head nestled against the protecting breast; the I a t . 1 wan mee was ut oy the eve ning sun; the eyes were clos ed, and n smile parted the bloodless lips. The maiden slept. ihe mother watched be side her sleeping child, and she scarce more than a child herself murmured a mother's prayer, 'Lord Je sus, save my little girl.' A gain and again she repeated i5, 'Save my little girl.' That was all. O, God! why are the poor born to be so unhappy? Softly she drew the thread bare tarlton shawl around the tender frame. Gentle as was the motion it roused the sleeper. The great blue eyes opened. 'Did I wake ye, Jeannie?' "No, np, mither, ye dinna wake me, I woke my anesel. I had a bonnie dream, mither.' 'Ay, dearie, what was it? The mother looked down anxiously. 'Afore I went to sleep, I was watchin' the ships wi' their white sails flittin' owre the water, an' I wondered whar they were a' gaun. Hooked, an' looked, an' looked, an' thn I thought I wasin a wee boa tie, wi' white sails, too, mither. They said it; was gaun to heav'n. The sky was black owre my heid, an' great waves tossed my boa tie to an' fro. But far away the sun was glintin' on the wa ter, a i.' there were steps of gowd gaun up, up, up. They said it was the way to hea- v n. Is t no, mither; Are ye lisCnin'? The mother's face was turn ed away. 'Aye, aye Jeannie, I'm list' nin' to ye. 'I sailed a lang, lang time. I was tired; but I came near er the steps. I was a'most there, mither. They said:Gae Jeannie, and ye' 11 no be tir ed ony mair.' I was gaun, but they said again: ,No the noo, Jeannie, the next time.' Then I awoke. Wasn't no a bonnie dream, mither?' 'My wee lamb,' was all the mother could say. She press ed the frail form to her. The golden head sank back drow sily. 'The next time.' The sun set in crimson glo ry over the sands a. id sea; heavy purple night clouds o vershadowed the earth. Ere the glory faded the little ami den was fa r away on her jour ney up the golden steps. Still the mother watched and prayed, 'Lord Jesus save my little girl.' God help those who awake from sleep. A frtH? and easy expectoration is produced by a few doses of nr. j. h.

Always sM'ak the truth. Never speak evil ofany one Keep good company, or none. Live up to your engage ments. Be just before you are gen erous. Never play at any game of chance. Drink no kinds of intoxica ting liquors. (iood character is above all things else. keep your own secrets, if you have any. iever borrow, n you can possibly help it. L'o not marry until von are able to support a wife. Keep yourself innocent, if you would be happy. When yon speak to a per son. look him in the face. Make no haste to be rich, if you would prosper. Ever live (mi.ifortnnes ex- cepte) within your income. Save when you are young, to spend when you are old. Avoid temptation, through fear you may not withstand it. Never run into debt unless you see a way to get out a gain. Small and steady gains give competency, with a trail quil mind. Good company and good conversation are the sinews of virtue. Your character cannot be essentially injured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you, let your life be so that none will believe him. When you retire to bed, think over what you have been doiug during the day. Never be idle; if your hand can't be employed usefully, attend to the cultivation of your mind. Read over the above max ims carefully and thought fully, at least once every week. The II Itfliost in the World. The new Masonic building now being erected in Chicago will bo an architectural marvel. It is to have a fron tage of one hundred and sev enty feet, a depth of one hun- hred and fourteen feet, will be twenty stories high and the roof will be nearly three hundred feet from the level of the street. There are to be eighteen elevators, arranged in a sem icircle, having a total carry ing capacity of forty thous and passengers daily. The entrance is to be forty two feet high by twenty eight wide, and the rotunda, with an area of three thousand sev en hunredd square feet, will be open to the roof, where vis itors will find a pavillion gar den from which they can get a birds-eye view of all creation. GuYEHNOn FOWLE "Since the indej.endenr,e of the American colonies was se cured there has been no jteri od of our List c ry as a State in which Divine Providence has blessed us with more a bundant returns for labor or indicated more clearly His purpose to preserve our civil and political liberties. Now. therefore, that public acknowledgement of ourgrat itude to Almighty God for His great goodness to us as a State and people may be made, I, Daniel (J. Fowle, Governor of North Carolina, do hereby appoint Thnrsday the 27th day of November, 1890, as a day of public thanksgiving and praise, and I earnestly recommend that the people of the State assein ble on that day, at their usu al places of worship, and re turn thanks for the great prosperity which has been vouchsafed to us and for the immeasurable blessingswhich we enjoy. And that every heart may be gladdened, let us remember the widow and the orphan, the disabled sol dier; the poor and the afflict ed whom He hath made der pendent upon our care, and contribute liberally of our means to the institutions which have been organized in our midst for their maintain ance. Let lis Sliake Hands All Round. These political campaigns all over the country are very jolly affairs. They are al most as blissful as a modern uameofbase ball in which one man gets his eye put out, another retires with a broken thumb and the third is all broken up and has to be car ried to the nearest smithy to have his ribs hammered into hape. We get a. good deal of heal thy exercise in such times as these. There are hot words and curses four feet long be fore election, but when the election is over we wipe out the court plaster and shake hands all round. The people who live under the effete and tottering monarchies of Eu rope don't know what happi ness means until they come to this country and watch one of our local scrimmages. We are the best natured peo ple on the footstool, and if wo have a peculiar way of en joying ourselves, whose busi ness is it? The great Ameri can Eagle echoes, Whose ? New York Herald. Col.
