A General Uprising Hid Been Expected On the Isthmus and the President Mirelj Informed HlmseJIot Prospec Practically tbe entire session of toe eeuate Tuesday was devotnd tot speech hy Mr. Lodtfe ou tb situatiou on the Isthmus of Pan inn, says a Wasbiutftuii Dispatch lie discussed the abstract question pf thu ritiht of the President to re itogoize the ludpfudbaco ol a new usti'ju sud couoludi'd that sucb p'erogatire pertaiiiH rczlusivel to the cilice of the Chief hxcntive II - also ooutended that there bad len ceueral expectatiou of an uprising 111 Pauauja in caer of the failure of the Hay llerrftii treaty, and declared that ibe Presiiant could not have do:irf less than inform himself of tbe urosDSJl. Mr. L die argued tbai uur lutervuitiOD in Panama bad beeD only u tbe interest ol peace aud contended that the Presideut had not cone a step beyond wbal the proprieties calbd for. . Mr. Lodge made reply to those who contend that preventing the secession of tbe Soulberu State 10 the civil war debars this coun try from iocoguiziug any nation which baa come into existuce though secession, at has Panama Us deemed this argument un worthy. Keall7 uuder present circumstaucee tbeie could now be no loraiition 01 a new natiou ex cept by secestiion. The right ot secession is the right of rvolu liou.audhas uotbiLg to do with liXW. Many instances in which recng uitiou had been purely executive ttere cited and tbo Senator assert dd that Presideut Taylor had pre pared to recogniz-) th independence ol Hungary before a government had been established. In reply to .1 question by Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lodge said bad voted for the re solution, declariug that tbe people of Cuba "are, and of right, ouiht to be free and independent," tot he said that as there was then no (OTeronnut 'd Cuba his vote then had not been inconsistent with hit prekeut attitude. His contention was that the recoguitiou of a gov ernment is a purely executive 1 unction. Mr. Lodge read from a speech made by Mr. Morgau in the Fifty seventh Congress protesting against the ratification ot the treaty with Colombia. Mr. Morgan construed Mr. Lodge's action to be au infer ence tnat be (Mr. Morgan) had altered his views concerning the rights of Panama to the proceeds of the sale of the Panama Canal concession. Explaining that be had not changed in any particular his views on the matter, Mr. Mor gan said he supposed the speech had been brought into debate tor the purpose of reproaching him. He then asked Mr. Lodge: "la the absence of any agreement with condemned felons in France, con stituting the Panama Canal Com pany, would be be willing now to take this $40,000,000 to be paid by tbe United States and give it to the republie of Panama?" Mr. Lodge answered that he would not he willing toso divert money which he believed to belong to the Pana ma Caoal Company. Mr. Lodge declared the qnestion involved, to be an Americ-uu ques tion aud one m whish the whole American people nre deeply inter ested. Tbe qoestion is neither partisan or sectional, and the Sen ator thought all should unite in sustaining, the course tbat bad been pursued, for he could not see the wisdom of the course of some of tbe Democrats in this instance. As a Republican he would like no better issue in the pending presi dential campaigu than the Pana ma oanal and as an American be would regret a division on this im portant question. In this connec tion Mr. Lodge referred to las' night' Damooratic banrjnet in Nsw York. Quoting Mr. Ojuey's reference to '"the needless war in Cuba," Mr. Lodge said he believed the adjective had been well chosen, because if Mr. -Cleveland's admin istration had taken the proper oonrae with referepce to Cnba we might have beu saved that war. Mr. Lodge said that-Mr. Cleve land's nomination would afford him great pleasure, for Mr. Cleve 'laud's admimtratiou bad never been discussed. "Say whaj, yoo like of the silver issue," he declared "it was a better issue than what had gone before." Mr. Gorman introduced tioo requested would be in ths lius of Mr. 1 dge a sperob. He asked for im medial coorder'atiou of lbs resolution, 'jus Mr. Allison ob jected aud the consideration ol the resolution was pi stojutd. Look to Cuba Tor Cotton.

Origin ol Commonplace Phrases. ijcpreesions tDat ws use nowa days metaphorically were used in heir real sense in bygone days For iustauce, wo speake about beating a retreat." foretting perhaps tbat ths phrases comes from tbe fact tbat 1 1 war time heu a retreat was ordered the rum) wer Im4'.9ii in a particu- ar njunner, j'nt as today it is souudt d ou the bugl'j. Tbu again cue speaks "f going i ff "bag feud baggage." II w many kuow what the "baggage" was? Tbe general idea is tbat it was part of tbe solder's kit. In point of fact the "bag" was originally the solider's haversack; the "baggaga" was his wife. The familiar phrase "to give the eld shoulder" originated in France, wnere tne custom to serve with cold shoulders of mut ton instead of hot neat a gues who had outstayed his welcome "A feather in cis cap" comes from Hungary, it being formerly the custom for the Hungarians to-pu a leather in their caps tor every Turk they killed. The w rJ "dead bead" is, acc rdiug to srme auth orities, one of great antiquity. It is said tbat a deadhead was 111 Pompeii au individual who gained admission to an entertainment tree ot charge by means ot a pass of a small ivory in tbe torm death's head. a reso lution asking the Presideut tb sup ply the Senate with information n to the various instances of in tervention 00 the part of tbe Uaitod StaUa 00 the Istbmoa of Panama," tajiog that tbi iuferna Her Makeshift Rivets. The following srq iel to a naval launch in England v. as not com fuuuicated to the press; Some years ego a ship which was to be christened by an illustrious per son8ge got behind in construction. The personage was sure to be ready in time aud could not be pat off, hut not so the ship. As a last re sort some portions of the super structure were partly u,ade fast with leaden rivets in place of steel ones, the launch took place, and the situation was saved. When the vessel came to be completed for sea no one remembered' about the rivets, aud after a coat or two of paint they looked for all the work like the real article and be haved like it until tbe ship got into a heavy sea, and the process known to Mr. Kipling as "finding herself" began. It was thta dis covered that a 'defoct 10 machin ery" of other euphonism necessi tated a hurried return to a dock yard, where matters were hastily pat right. Loudon lruth. IT'S COLD DP NORTH.

We have before now bad occasion to call attention to the Japanese custom of employing tbe blind as masseurs as one' worthy of imita tion in this country, and we are pleased to notice tbat an institute for massage by tbe blind in bug land is iu process cf orgamzatiou at the present moment uuder tbe patronage of the Duke of Cam bidge. It is ajfaot that blind peo pie beoome particularly skillful in tbe performance of massage, part ly, no doubt, on account of tb well-kuown circumstance that the loss of oue sense usually leads to special cultivation of .ths senses tbat remaiu. And, as massage is an art tbe successful performance of which depeuds iu'a high degree upon delicacy of touch aud mis- pulative ability, it is oue which the blind are pre-eminently suited to perform. Tbe advantages which may be ex pected from the orgauizitioti Men tioned are manifolds Iu ths first place, the afflicted individual who has lost the power of vision will be enabled to earn a livelihood and will be provided with a regular occupation and object for existence without which any degree of happiness is seldom to be found, and, secondly, tbe community as a whole will benefit by the employ ment in nsfal labor of those whose se powers would otherwise run to waste.

Iu other parts of tbe United States much-is uow being written and said about tbe prosperity of tbe South, says the Charlotte Chronicle. It ia notable that while things have been for some time rather blue iu Wall street circles tbe South and West have been getting along rather better than ever. With a ten-million bate cotton crop now bringing six huudred million dollars intsead of three hundred million as it did only a few year ago something of tbe more comfortable feeling of the South in mouey may be under stood, but this betterment iu price of the staple is now. Ihe quality of it uow manufactured iu the South contributes immensely to home prosperity. The wages are paid ai.d distributed at home and among our own people instead of at a distance from us aud amoag strangers. The more we patronize home in dustries the more we will pros per.

She was so very plain of face that ber expression of trust fulness, as though appealing to yoo to find some other qualities in her than mere "looks," ahone oat with a perfect radiance that en nobled her face and drew friends to ber, because she had no Other beauty. Bet Miss Bremer took pleasure in ber well kept bands, of woich she used to sav, "even hands have their moments of harm." An Odd Spanish Custom. An odd custom in Madrid is the manner of indicating the sleeping rooms of a bouse by a spray of palm leaves attached to the rail' ing of the balcouy. You will ee palm leaves hanging to tbe bal- couiesof nearly all the residence in towo, those of tbe poor as wel1 is tbe rich. A sheet of white pa per tied to tbe irou railing means that tbe room is for rent; a palm leaf means tbat it is tbe sleeping chamber of a pious Catholic who brought it home from church on tbe last Palm Sauday and placed it there to keep away evil spirits, diseases and misfortunes. It re mains there the entire year until the next anniversary, when a new. palm, fresh from the blessing of tut priest, ii substituted. THB BANK OF LUMBERTON, LUMBERTON, N. C.
