H. CONNER, At depot, Rich Square, N. C. The Art.of Converging. (By Rev. T. R Gregory.) The ''American" is in receipt of the following com mu uication: "1 am a young woman of twen ty three. I have a high school education and my mind is fairly bright, but I am often shamed almost to death by my inability to appear well in conversation. 1 do not know that I am especial ly deficient in language, but some how I always break down when I am out in company and try to talk. v ' "Can you explain tome the na ture of my difficulty and give me some idea of the way to over come it? You will earn my deep est gratitude by throwing out to me a few helpful suggestions." With pleasure we will offer such suggestions as we may happen to have, hoping that some of them may be of service to the young woman who has so touch ingly aj pealed to us. - To be able to converse well is a great accomplishment, but it is an accomplishment that one hap to work for. Putting aside the "geniuses," who are so rare that they constitute only the excep tion to the rule, it may be said that the ability to converse comes only as the crown of much labor and self-discipline. In the first place, in order to be a good, that is, an interest ing, conversationalist, one must be well informed. Whatever the subject happens to be, one must know the facts in the case. The subject may be the war in the Far East or the latest neighbor hood dance, the "Darwinian the ory" or the newest fad in neck ties or headgear; but whatever it is one ftTust be acquainted with the facts of the case in order to be able to talk upon the subject so as to make people listen, and listen with interest. With - your fact well in hand, with your idea clearly outlined in ; your mind, the language will take care of itself. It is easy to fcalk-i-if you -hare "something to talk, about. As quietly as the vapor in the cloud condenses it self into the raindrops will your ideas clothe themselves in appro priate words if you only have the ideas. Get ideas, then from men and women and children, from books, from - the dumb creation, from the great Nature around you reflect upon what you have learn ed until you make it a part and parcel of your very being and it will be no more trouble for you to talk, and to talk well, than it is for a bird to fly. The conversation that lags, that, habits, that "hems and haws," is but a burlesque on the real thing, and such burlesque is inevitable where those who are trying to talk are poorly inform- ed." The young woman says in her letter that she has a "fairlv bright mind," that she has re ceived a "high school education" and that she is not "especially deficient in language," but that, nevertheless, she "breaks down when she is out in company and tries to talk, It is possible that it is in that word "company" that the secret of her difficulty lies. In compa ny the young - woman becomes embarrassed, excited in a word, loses her head, and, on that ac count, finds herself unable to con verse. Let the young woman always try to remain sell-possessed. New York American. . Sentiment, Not Business. standing by home enterprise is commendable. It is sometimes,- with a show of reason, made the test of true and loyal citizenship. Some people actu ally parallel this duty with the declaration of "holy writ," that "a man who fails to provide for his household has denied the faith, and is no better than a heathen."' We give notice, in good time, that we have abun dant sympathy for those who stand by home and all home in terests, and yet, like another subject worth thinking of, it ad mits of more than one viewpoint; or, m other words, there is more than one way of reaching the pame conclusion. "Business is business," is often classed as the hard, icey utter ance of the selfish business man, whose heart is set upen personal gain. And yet, when you come to consider it calmly, honestly and practically the adherence to this principle is' ths true touch stone of all material advance ment and real success. That sen timent is one thing and business quite another, has been so abud dantly demonstrated as to need no argument at all. People who pay the price are entitled to the best their money will buy, whether it be a stick broom or a steam engine. No man has a right to expect people to buy what he makes, simply because his factory is local, except what he offers, is as good as the best. And when that point is reached, sentiment disappears. This is, after all, the only pol icy which will bring to our local enterprises the highest possible perfection. If sentiment takes the place of business, where is the incentive to strive for the best the world affords? No sensible man patronizes a young doctor, simply becausehis name-is William Jones, nd was brought up in his. township. No man who appreciates the best in terest of his child can afford to entrust his aducation to an infs rior teacher or school, simply from sentiment, or locatiori. So if a man would make a book or a shoe, let him make them as good as those manufactured in Boston. If he would make cloth let him aim to duplicate the best that's made in Lowell. Sentiment is a noble impulse, and has its place, but it's not business, and ought not to be so regarded. Raleigh Times. A Southoi n Man. According to the Post, there is serious agitation in Washington for the nomination of a Southern man for President on the Demo cratic ticket this year. And why not a Southern man? Wherefore this trepidation in the face of a fancied furore of the Northern fanatics? What; for example, is the mat ter with: Hon. John Warwick Daniel, Senator in Congress from the sovereign State of Virjrinia, or Hon. Andrew Jackson Mon tague, Governor of the same State, or, Hon. Charles Brantley Aycock, Governor of North Carolina, and as able a governor as there is in the country, or : Hon. John Sharpe Williams, scholar and statesman, and lead er of the minority in the House, or - V'-; v--V.;';1 Hon. Joseph Weld on Bailey, able lawyer, former minority lead er, ana at present senator m Congress from Texas. Either of these men would make a strong candid ite and a worthy candidate. Either one of them would make a sound and conservative President of the United States. Why should the South hesitate to put some one of them forward? Norfolk Vir ginian-Pilot. " Tunnel Under the Capitol. The District government today granted the formal permit to the Philadelphia, Washington & "Bal timore railroad, as the Pennsyl- vania road is known here, to coh struct the twin tunnel under the United States capitol building and the adjacent blocks and streets. " The permit had been held up for several weeks because of a difference between Major BiddleJ the engineer commissioner, and tne railroad engineers in regard to the motive power to be used to propel cars in the tunnel. -Ma jor Biddle insisted that electrici ty should be used, and the rail road men wanted to. be allowed to use steam. . Electricity was finally agreed on.:. The tunnel will be 3,000 feet long, beginning at the intersec tion of Alassacnusetvs avenue and First street, Northeast, go ine under Capitol Hill to New Jersey avenue and D. street Southeast. The total cost of the work will be approximately $300,000. There will be two branch tun nels connecting with yards and tracks of the Pennsylvania road in South Washington. New York Times.

When the winter winds blow about old Washington and Es sex Streets, Boston, and the blasts of the crystal seasons cause thinly clad people to draw their garments closely about them, there comes to my memo ry a tale of a past generation, that rises in my soul like a star. It is a simple tale, but it inter prets a great heart and a lofty genius, and all life as well, for all human thoughts follow sugges tion; that word is the history of all that has helped to make a bet ter and a higher world. Let me tell you the story as it came to me, and you will not wonder that it has haunted me, though the mightv leader that gave rise to it has lonr slept in secluded grave among the mor ses of Milton Hills. It happened more than a half century ago this little incident, this great parable of life. There had been snowy days; frosts had covered the windows of beautiful Harrison Avenue, and erlittered rom the arms of the great trees there. The place is now China town. There were toy-shops around ssex Street then; Theodore Par ker lived there; he sleeps now in beautiful Florence. There came out of a square brick house that faced the then prosperous square a tall, lonely man; the world was on his heart, and his heart was full of love and pity.. It was early evening and this man went out into the night He was looking for something something to ease his heart. He heard the North Chimes rin out in the Jclear, crystal ai from the steeple on Copp's Hill: was New Year's eve; people were hurrying hither and thither, with arms full of licrht, fift.R- anil 0 , minus ran oi nappy anticipationg here were waiting hearts everjf-j wnere, He came to a glittering giftTJhe silver.-voice rang out. The store, and something caused him to pause. A girl, in her mothsnahe!"leep forest, or as a place Rob Roy shawl, stood there look ing into the windows, beside a bundle of saving, which had been offered for sale .for Christmas trees. - A clerk came out of the store hastily, and said to the girl: You have -no right to be standing here; go home." ; ' She turned partly around, re- uctantly, and her face wrinkled and her lip trembled. : 'No right" the words were more bitter than the north wind. The clerk went back to his work, the girl stepped into a dark corner, out of the way of the hurrying procession of buy ers, drew her shawl around her, and looked into the gay windows and wished for the things that ! others were to share, but which she could not expect to have. But she could dream that she had them; she had the right to dream Something made her start A hand touched her arm. As she turned,' a voice suid, "Here." It was a voice of silver; it was a bell She had never heard such a voice before. It repeated, "Here," and added, "You have a right to wish." v ''.---': : A form towered above her, with such a face! It was the face of a Roman, and never walked a nobler soul before, or has walked since, such a kindly, grand Rom an, itiriay be, in Boston streets! I can see it in my mind's eye now for I have met that man, that rod among men. llere, .- tne Deu voice rang again, and the man put into the wistful .hild's hand a dollar ia silver, "lou have a riaht to wish and to live." lie turned, and, his head above the crowd, vanished into the night. The girl folded her face in her mother's shawl, aud cried with a heaving: heart. Could such things be in this selfish world? The man went on, perhaps to find some other child as hopeless and- forlorn, wishing that he might touch her on the arm and ring the bell of his divine voice. It was his habit to do such things, to make a wistful child's heart lapp.v in this way, and to disappear in the crowd like a wa ve in the sea. The child would never know who touched l.er on the arm, and he could tell his in valid wife the story of his even ing's adventures for a winter tale, when he returned to his j horne an(i to his fire among the walls of books. Rut the wistful girl in the Rob Roy shawl remembered that glo rious face. She still felt that hand on her arm, and could hear in fancy his voice like a bell. She carried home with her that touch on the arm: it was a firm hand that had touched her, a strong- hand, a warm hand Should she ever see that face a?ain? She dreamed of the man at ghts. What a" divine light there must have been in his soul; he wanted no return, no money, no honor, no praise, not even love of any recollection. That child had a happy New Year, and she talked with her mother constantly of the man. "His head was like a tower,"- she said, "and when he spoke it was like the ringing of a silver bell. He said, 4 You have a right to wish.' I sometimes think that he was Christ." "He was like him in what he did," said tne wondering mother One summer evening the little girl wandered away from the treeless alley where she lived to ward the Common. A crowd of excited men were hurrying to ward Tremont Temple. They were talking wildly, and the girl was drawn after them, and she I learned that a great orator was to speak there on some question of reform, and that they were to seize him and drag him into the street and maltreat him They rushed into the temple, and the girl followed them with the crowd. The temple filled, the people shouting, and some of them hissing. It was a place of tumult. A tall man arose ana lifted his hand. The sea became calm. .'All men have a right to wish and to live." :, Then everything became still. The child gazed upon that up- int-eu nanu, anu exciaiuibu: "On,. " that ts the man who touched. vrrie on the arm on New Tear's." fV' tern plVwas'a8 , silent as a night of graves. The crowd passed un der the spell of the orator. When he had ended his speech, they passed out into the street. Nearly all, but a company of young men who had come there pledged to assault the orator. They lingered to fulfill their reso lutions. They began to assault the speaker with abusive lan guage v-:;.;:. .-- He stood there. The little girl waited. His features did not change. He came down from the pulpit with a look of beneficience which seemed to the child god like. He stretched out his hand I am describing an actual scene- he said to the young men "Back!" They became silent and moved a little down the aisle towards the door. "Back!" They yielded a little more, inch by inch. "Back!" It was a trumpet tone. The overawed young men broke be fore it and went out into the street. Nothing could withstand the moral and soul-force of that arm. ' He turned to the little girl with a pleasant face. She cried out: "It was you that touched me On the arm." "When?" "In the night." ' I remember we all have right to live." . The girl went home and told her mother all, and said 'Mother, I will live." "Of course you will." "But I will live. He said I might." "Who?" "The angel of that NV.v Year's eve." "And I will send you to school." She did, and that girl came to live in thousands of lives She returned from the lecture field to Boston on a cheerless day. One of Boston's orators her greatest was to lie in state on that day, under the Shaw guard. It was in that hall that the ora tor had delivered his first oration She went th re in the pouring rain. .

Irishmen who had been immigrants, colored men, the poor and the helpless, street wanderers, wayfarers, peo ple without domesticity. The rain fell as if the heavens came down was there ever such a rain? Faneuil Hall Square was a pond, and the streets were riv ers. And the people's tears fell like rain. They had lost a friend who sought neither riches nor 4ionor, nor any public office, but only their good. The hand that went about the streets of Boston touching help less children on the arm on win ter eves now lies in a simple grave in the suburbs.
