We are lad to tee so able and so
.Ragaciona -a mitd as.- that pushing
the Charlotte Observer coming to
our re-Iiof in thw opinion that Major
Outano was not playing the part of
the paliiic.il- trickster ; the course
he pursued at t he closing of the late
campaign. When the knowing
ocgb pop up their heads and tell us
how we are deceived in everybody,
we wonder if there are none true.
We are humiliated also by our lack
of sagacity. But when our judge
ment is strengthened by the con
currence of those -with more sagac
ity and less suspicious incredulity
than the wise acres; that would
pjace tbemseiyee on equal footing
-with distinguished characters by
pulling those characters -domi on; a
levei with tnYniselves, we are glad
to err on the side of credulity some-.1
timess, rather than inyite, others to
suspect us by teaching them that
no one is sincere. No confidence
eems to be half the stock in trade
with many of our modern politic
ians and the vilest construction
possible to be put upon the actions
of others seems a sufficient pallia
tive for a conscience self condemned.
In the days when; the igood old
puritaiis were jealous for. tbi abne
gation of self and the rigidenforce
, ment of all the outward observance
-of moral and spiritual law there
was intolerance of all instrumental
ymusio in the' Church" serVbea The
innovation came against much
? pressure and irreconcilable opposi
r lion. In one instance the" pastor

Tioli n -as an ticcomp'anrment : tfr the

A
Some newspaper man is credited
with thft saying that Gcv. Rueseirs
staff will 0e made up of men wear
ing girdles of 44 ; inches, each. Is
tha administration to be noted for
girth rather than brains ?
Speaking of the various Presi
dents after Washington the New
York Mail and Express in a recent
article gives a Jo& of interesting in
formation: 'Joan Adams and his
eon, John Quinsy Acquis, ware Har.
vard men. J.evsoQ and Monroe
were graduated of filiam and
Mary, while-Aiaiiio.i hailed, from
Princeton ; JaokBJti had little educa
tion of aiiy-sor-, and Van Buren,
his seccessor, only a good &cademio
education. Willi ni Henry Ilarrieon
gradual ad . at HampdennSidney .Col
lege. Tyler at Willian.and Mary,
and Poik ac the Uuiyersity of North
Oarolma. Taylor had only the
merest rudiments of an education,
and Fillmore, his successor, had an
academic education only. Fraukiin
Pierce was a graduate of Bowdoin,
and Buchanan of Dickinson. Lin
coin and Johnson were both v self
educated, neither hvog had even
bigh sohool edncajtion.; Grant was
4 7est Pointer ; HayB an alumnus
of Kenyon, GarfieU of Williams and
LAcinnr-oi- Union. From Washing
ton to McKinley, therefore, includ
ing Washington and Grant, fifteen
of the twenty-five may be called
college-bred men. While President
Cleveland is i not ccllege manA Mrs
Olevaland is a college woman, being
a graduate of Wells College, at Au
rora, in this State, class of '84. His
righUhand man in the cabinet, Dan
Lamont, secretary of war, is a grad
uate of Union, as is also Secretary
Morton, of the Depariment of Agri
culture. Olney is a Harvard man
Carlisle and Herbert are not' college
men. Postmaster General Wilson is
not only a college.b ed man, but has
been President of West Virginia
University.' .
Loose clothes and bldwny cushions
bring only a negative sort of com
fort to the woman who is suffering
vfith some disease or derangement
of the organs distinctly feminine.
;Some clothes, and -ome positions
make tbe pain and the discomfort

"female complaints" may, be a very
slight thing indeed.: It" mayv be
that in the beginning some small
hygenio iheasnres would stop the
trouble. Certainly at this time, a
little bit of the right medicine would
fetop it,' W hen'.t he trouble becomes
worse, ,it is harder to cure, but still
