No, you aido't ask him, but you couldn't have been any clearer about it than you were when you looked into his eyes in your most rjeseecnirig way and told him how anxious you were to bear the great violinist; now sweet you thought violets, and haw you did wish tor a pound of chocolate. He didn t want to get any of these, he hadn't the money to-spend for them; he doesn't get a very large salary, he is trying to keep himself out of debt, and yet because he is generous and can t resist a pretty girl, you have forced him into a dishonest posi tion. That's it, in plain English. When the end of the week comes and he is ten dollars short in his money, a little bit on his board bill must wait, his laundress can not be attended to, and the money that should go home must be apol ogized for. This is the first step toward not doine his duty, and you have made him take it. The American man is generous, and when he has the morjey be will invite you. himself without your suggesting to him what you like, or what you think he ought to do. Besides the harm you do him, you are making yourself vulgar he has a perfect right to go away and say that he doesn't want to visit it your house any more, because you hint and hint until he has to take you to some place of amusement or make you presents and that for his part he cannot afford it. Continue as you are doing and alter while you will get the repu tation among men of being a very undesirable girl to know, and certainly no man who has heard of your reputation to "get things out of men will want to ask yot to be his wife.

A Bflnneot Hunter TakM EzccpUoai to Lonffrellow' Rom.Bile Paem. Albany Argus. Then they buried Minnehaha ; In the snow a grave they made her, In the forest deep and darksome, Underneath the moaning hemlocks ; Clothed her in her richest garments ; Wrapped her in her robes of ermine, Covered her with snow-ute ermine, Thus they buried Minnehaha. And there are those residing in Minneapolis to-day who assert that the grave of Minnehaha, or " Laughing Waters' was made within a few feet of the famous Minnehaha tails. But a few days since, by the courtesy of a news paper man, I was given a free ride from the city to the falls, the dis tance being five and one-tenth miles over the motor line. If you cannot secure a " pass " your round trip will cost you twenty cents. The trip is a good one and takes you through a beautiful portion of tfte city, consuming about half an hour. Arriving there, a two min utes' walk brings you to the brink of the falls, easily seen from the little cottage depot. You descend a flight of stone steps and staud facing the falls about midway j from top to bottom. ! Here a grand view may be ob tained from a wooden platform built out from the cliff by an en terprising photographer, who, in the summer season, " takes the picter" of many a blushing bride and red-faced" groom, using the falls as a background. Going do w.i still lower, you aroon a level with the creek below, which rushes through a tortuous rocky gully to the open country miles away. You may cross the stream, if you choose, on a rustic bridge to the opposite shore, and here for many rods you will see the names of people residing in about every State in the Union carved in the soft white and red limestone walls, Eieres of which may be crushed etween the fingers as easily as a lump of flour. If you like you may walk behind the water as it comes over the edge, as there is a safe rocky path the entire distance, many feet wide, made by nature. The water falls about sixty feet. The falls are in the shape of a horseshoe, with the ends as a bank of the falls on either side of the 3tream below. ! Years . ago it must have been a wild and romantic spot, but today it is "cleared up " so that but few trees line the bank. At present one looking at the gram neias above cannot help thinking that had Minnehaha lived until now her lover, Hiawatha, could have supplied her with an abundance of food and thus save her from death by starvation, and more especially when by walking but a few feet he would have encountered a first class country grocery store with an awning-covered restaurant at tached. The day that I visited the place a newly-wedded couple were also there, and tbe groom held in his hand Longfellow's poems contain ing the written story of Mmne hahn, Hiawatha and old Nokomis. Seating themselves on a stone he read the tale to her, occasionally stopping to "express his senti ments " on the same, every word of which she drank in with open mouth. In the midst of " school's in" an old settler with grizzled beard and shaggy hair, and dressed in a suit of 'coon skin, with hat and shoes to match, came up and became an attentive listener. As the reading continued the hump in his back (tronTage) be came more "humpified," and at the conclusion of the story he "spread his sentiments" by first asking: "Who writ that?" " Longfellow, sir." " Well, he don't know a darned thing 'bout it, and the gal didn't starve to de'th, nuther. I've been 'round here nigh onto fifty year, and my grandfather shot bears in this county before me, and I allow to now all 'bout it. You see, this Hiawatha went a-huntin and foun' the gal with the Dakota Injuns. He stayed there all summer, and finally in the fall the two on 'em loped. Just as thev come to these 'ere falls her Injun dad and brother cum up to em and was just going to nab em both .when they run to the edge and lumped over the falls, and both j was kilt dead. Now, 1 don't know who this 'ere Longfellow mought be, but. by gosh 1 he don't know what he writ when he said that." After delivering himself the hump on his back gradually soft ened down and the old settler went on over to the grocery store to see if "Cy Johnson had found his yaller cow, what was lost along a week ago," and the groom, look ing after his retreating figure, sim ply said, " Well,! by thunder T- his bride remarking, "I should say as much." It's just possible that the exact fate; of Mmnehaha, Hiawatha and Nokomis will never be fully known, but the falls are here just the, same. Send us your job printing. THE lirSIC HE LIKED. ! Touth'a Companion. ! " I always thought I was fond of music," said Farmer Green, " but since I visited Matilda in Boston I've had j my; doubts about it. I hadn't been there a day before Matilda she said to me, ' Now, father, we are going to have a mu sical, and I do hope you'll enjoy it 1' " Of course 1 shall,' says L You know how fond I am of the famous old Scotch songs you used to sing, and how I'm always ready to jine in when anybody strikes up 'Coronation.'" "'WelL, this will be the best music you ever listened to,' says Matilda, and my mouth watered to hear it. . " The night of the concert you ought ha' seen the folks pour in, all silks and satins and flowers. Matilda wore, well, I don't right! know what but I think it was s arid lace. ; Pretty soon we all got quieted down, and then a German, with long hair and a great bushy beard, sat down at the piano and began to play. My, how he did bang them keys ! There was thunder down in the bass and tinklin' cymbals up in the treble. " ihe lady that sat side of me whispered when there was a min ute's stop, I Do you distinguish the different motives ?' "'My.no!' says I. 'I don't see what anvbodv's motive could be for workin' so hard to make a noise J " Then she smiled behind her fan, but I didn't know what at, whether 'twas the music or me. " When the piece stopped every body hummed and whispered to each other how lovely twas, and a good many told the German how much obliged they were. 1 didn t say a word. " Then a tall woman, all fixed up with silks and furbelows, sang a piece that almost-made my haii stand on end, it went so high, and had so manv ups and downs in it. She was master smart ; anybody could see that, but somehow 1 didn't fancy that kind of singin It made me uneasy. When she was climbin' up to her high notes 1 wondered ii she would ever get there; and when she dropped down again 1 wanted to say Now you've got through it safe once, don t try it again I ' Well, pretty soon Matilda came round to me and whispered, ' k ather, how do you like it 1 " 'I don t care much for it says I. 'Its a little too much lik frosted cake when you want plain bread . " She laughed, and in a minute I heard her sayin to one of the performers, 'My father's a little old-fashioned, you see, and would you mind I "What do you suppose hap pened then ? Wny, that woman that sung the thrills and warbles stood by, and without any piano play in' at all, sung ' Ye Banks and Braes and ' J ohn Anderson.' How sue Knew wnat i liked l never could tell, but she sang the songs I've loved since I was a boy, and when she got through the tears were streamin down my cheeks, " '.Bless you, my dear I says I and I went up to her and shook both her hands. And it seemed to me she liked the songs herself, for when she looked at me her eyes were wet, too. " I had a beautiful time, but suppose it s no use thinkin 1 ap preciate real music. ' en An OrtaTinnI Ctonlua. A well - dressed man leaning against a lamp-post and apparently sleeping the sleep of the jus created a great deal of interest on lower Broadway recently. He saton a box which he seemed to have been carrying, and being suddenly overcome with drowsiness placed it on the curbstone, and sitting down "upon it tell asleep He was not tar from old Trinity cunrcn, and although the roar o Broadway was around him the sleeiera in the churchyard could hardly have been less oblivious to what was going on about them. To those who succeeded in get ting close enough to the man his gentle, restful snore dispelled the tear that he might be dead. The side of his face was exposed ana betrayed no sign of mtoxica tion. It was the judgment every, one that he was sober, in good health and simply taking a quiet snooze. When the crowd became so dense as to threaten blockade, the supposed sleepei suddenly jumped to his feet mounted his box, and flourishing a couple of bottles over his head exclaimed: " Now, gents, seein' that you are an nere, i rise to a question privilege, ana aiier tnanKin you for this most cordial reception 1 1 a--,., wnicn assure you will long re - ' il a 1 m main upon tne taoiets ot my memory, l wish to call your atten tion to my world-renowned corn and bunion eradicator," and so or, in the usual stvle. mi . i , , . xne ia-Kir naa nit upon a new and easy way to attract a crowd and once the fakir has his crowd he will attend to the rest. VANCE 0N HEQKO EHIttRATIOX. HI Bpeeen am This Bnbleet Laat Thandar In tbe Senrnto. Mr. Yance proceeded to address the Senate on Mr. Butler's bill to provide for the emigration of the colored people from the united States. He oegan by quoting the scriptural saying that the sins of he father shall, be visited on the children. It was, he said, but an other way of saying that the mis- akes and crimes of one generation remain to plague another genera tion. He sketched the introduc tion of slavery into this country and its destruction as the result of he civil war, and the establish ment of the reconstructed govern ments in the South; " but," said he, -' Lo t the negro again bobs up serenely," (laughter), "and for his sake to-day -we are threatened not only with political agitation, disss- itpuB in lisen, out wim a servue war, whose weapons shall be the midnight toich and the assassin's dagger, and whose victims shall be sleeping women and children. Mr. Vance went on to criticise Mr. Ingalls' speech, which he char acterized as a piece of oratory, concealing its paucity of ideas. It reminded him forcibly of an as- ronomer's description of the re markable tenuity of the tail of a recent comet. Its length was de scribed as a hundred million miles as it stretched athwart the skies, and its breadth as fifty thousand miles, and yet the solid matter which it contained could be trans ported in a one-horse car. He (Yance) had Listened and listened with great entertainment to that speech ; he had searched and searched and he had wondered where the remedy was for the evil that was depicted in such colors. He wanted to see the solid matter of the illumination. Suddenly, he said, before the light expired and he Senate was left in darkness, the solution was announced as . m . m justice." However sententorious that might be. it was about as defi nite as the twinkling that remained under the closed eyelids after the withdrawal of light. Justice, as the Senator from Kansas had ex plained it, was that the South should quietly and without effort submit to negro rule wherever the negroes were in the maiority. The Senator had graciously promised that if the remedy still proved a failure he would do what ? He would counsel with the South! What blessed and comforting words. He regretted that he could not support the bill of the Senator from South Carolina It did not reach the case, was not practicable and would result in no substantial relief. Under its pro visions but few negroes would go from this country, and those few would probably be the best. He could not say that he had any de sire to attempt in any way such a great unhistoncal : task as the re moval of the whole people, amount ing to probably seyen millions, from their native land. There was ample room for them in the North and the Northwestern States ; and it was entirely practicable to in duce them to settle in those States. If, said he, the negro is a good thing, let us divide him out (laugh ter.) He admitted that such a plan would be the death of many politicians, but it would give peace to the country and ho could betr the absence of politicians (laughter.) In conclusion he said (addressing himself to lngallsj: If you- cannot help either the black or white, common decency requires that you should hold your place. Too Mack Complaint. There has already been too much said about hard times, as it has had a tendency to demoralize the public. There has been more said about hard times in the last four months than during the four dark veara when every able-bodied man was in the army fighting the enemy, and our mothers and wives and daughters were home wearing homespun dresses and homemade shoes, drinking potato and rye coffee sweetened with sorghum molasses, and boiling water out of the Atlantic to get salt for their bread. F. W. Gregory, in Roa noke News.- Monday afternoon a young white woman from the neighborhood of Maiden or between Maiden and Lincolnton came to one of the negro settlements of town with a child in her arras about nine or ten months old. After much beg ging she succeeded the next day in persuading a colored woman to take the child, whose father is said to be a negro, off her iiands, and started off for Hickory, leav ing the child behind. The name of the woman we are informed is Small. Newton Enterprise. Ah Illinois family lost their house by fire, and walked to the nearest neighbor's, a distance of half a mile, in their night clothes, the thermometer registering 20 degrees below zero. The entire family were badly frozen. WHO WANTED A HEOKESS FOR A WIFE, Nw York World. PiJk.TrsacouTH. Neb.. Jan. 31 Henry James Lambert is the name of the young Englishman who has written to Atlanta for the purpose of securing a full-blooded negress for a bride. Several weeks ao Mr. Lambert' 8 eye fell upon the following advertisement, which appeared In an Eastern paper : "To any respectable white man furnishing proper credentials as to character who will marry my daughter I will present on his wedding day with $1,500. I am an honest colored man, and by in dustry nave accumulated a for tune. Address "G. W." Lock box, 1,004, Atlanta, Ga." On reading the advertisement Mr. Lambert immediately wrote to the above addres, 'making a prop osition oi marriage, witn tne stip ulation that the monetary part of the contract should be fulfilled and requesting as an evidence of good faith that the transportation to Atlanta should be sent him. To avoid being doped he has written to the authorities at At lanta asking them to make proper inquiries as to the advertisement and the probability of the offer being made good. ' Mr. Lambert is 28 years of age and was born in Burwash, Eng land. He has resided in America five years and has made this city his home for the past seven months. He has no occupation, but he re ceives monty remittances from Europe, and on the death of an uncle he will inherit a considera ble fortune. Of good education and a fair degree of culture, he attracted no little attention in this city, only to the peculiar ideas he advances as to the best means of solving the present race prob lem. Mr. Lambert advocates the in termarriage of the Caucasian and negro races, and holds that by this means the negro race will in the course of a few generations become extinct, the fruit of the first intermarriage being mulattoes the second quadroons, the third octoroons, and so on until all trace of the African in future gen erations Is obliterated. It is in full accordance with this view that he has made the proposition above referred to. Are Ntonea Alive? A few weeks ago the St. Louis Republic gave the results of some startling experiments by Mr. Ma son Kinne, of California, in which that gentleman had claimed to having discovered sex in the min eral atoms. From the following it will be seen that E. D. Walker, the scientest and writer anticipa ted the Pacific slope philosopher by about two years. Ihe extract given below is from an article by Mr. Walker written in 1887 : "We generally think of minerals as dead lumps of inactive matter. But they may be truthfully said to be live creatures of vital pul sations and separated into indi viduals as distinct as the pines in a forest or tigers in a jungle. The disposition of crystals are as di veise as those ot animals. They throb with unseen currents of en ergy. They grow in size as long as they have opportunity. They can be killed, too, though not as easily as an oak or a dog. A strong electric current discharged through a crystal will decompose it very rapidly if it be of soft structure, causing the particles to gradually integrate in the reverse order to it growth, until the poor thing lies a dead, shapeless ruin It is true the crystal's life id un like that of higher creatures But the difference between vege table and animal life is no greater than that between mineral and vegetable life. Linnaeus, the great Sweedish naturalist, defined the three great kingdoms by say ing : 'Stones grow, plants grow and feel, and animals grow aud feel and move." While Walker explains nothing of sex in stones, it is plain that his ideas respecting them were identical with the wonderfu truths Mr. Kinne thinks he has demonstrated in his microscopica researches! OrlrlnortheOrlppe. jThe grip, has been traced by the London Times with reasonable certainty to eastern Asia and the floods followed by famine and malaria which occurred in the Hoang Ho or Yellow river 0 China two years ago. Similar outbreaks of influenza have originated in the same region from the same cause, or at least the disease has spread west through Siberia inst after overflows of Chinese rivers which produced famine and fevers. Ihe great streams of the' Uelestial empire support a teeming population, and when the mcd deposits destroy the rice crops and breed malaria the people die by hundreds thousands and epidemic makes its career of conquest westwara jusi as the ancient Scythians did. AMAH THE HVJt CURE. Pall Mall Casette. Hidden oraang the mountains of Carinthia lies the little wooden roofed village of Yelder or Bledu, in the irresponsibla language of its xiavonio mnaoitauis. xi stands on the shores of a small ake of deep blue water. By the lake hotels and villas congregate. These are one and all brilliant and festive dwellings. To this romantic little shrine sun worshipers come during the summer to offer sacrifices, while a arge number of pleasure seekers ock in from Trieste from all parts of Germany, Poland and the north of Italy. What I lost in the 'society of the amiable and be wealthy 1 never knew, for they lived down on the lakeside the "anhut colony, while 1 remained in the village high above he lake. The "air huts" are little wooden dwellings for the sun cure pa- lents, consisting of one large room, wmch has three walls in stead of four. The flat roof of the bath house has been enclosed by a tall fence, so that only the sky is visible from the inclosure. Here, with heads carefnlly shaded rom the hot rays, each in a wooden compartment, the patients frizzle about an hour or an hour and a hajf. The process is soothing, strange as it may appear. The sun god rewards his devotees. Now . and then a voice calls above the divisions for a glass of water, now and then a sigh over the heat escapes a worshiper; otherwise the place is quite and sleepy and reposeful. Reading or mental exertion of any kind is forbidden, and indeed severely punished by headache or exhaus tion. Uninspired must be the drowsy observations that mingle now and then with the humming of the flies, and no one attempts to break this rigid law. Even the execrations wrung from the suf- erers by the persistent attacks of hese insects ought to be ot the mildest character possible,- con sidering the provocation. Much had to be endured from the active colony that had established them selves at the sun bath. During the last ten or twenty minutes the faithful are wrapped up in blankets like mummies; a tepid bath and a rubbing follows, and then the long suffering one is released, but only to repeat the process in the afternoon. Though the opposite actions of the cool air in the morning and of the , sun at midday, great things to the ad vantage of the patient are said to occcur. Dr. lukle traces a large number of illnesses, nervous and other, to the want of vigorous skin action and the consequent strain on the other part of the body to do the work which the lazy skin is neglecting to do. Census Hen Strike Rnaz. H. T. Lyle, special agent of the United States Census Depart ment, with his assistants, number ing five men, have been sent out from AYashmgton by the Census Department lor the purpose oi ascertaining the amount of the State's recorded indebtedness They will have headquarters Baleigh till the work is done. in It is not all smooth sailing, for Mr. Lyle there, as will be seen from the following trom the News and Observer : It was rumored yesterday that the census men had struck a snag when they went into the office of the clerk of the court over which Mr. Charles D. Up church presides. Mr. Upchurch was interviewed yesterday and stated that he declined to allow the census canvassers to have access to his records, and had also de clined to give them any assistance His reason for this was that tne work which was well paid for ought to be given to Wake county men and not to agents sent out by the Federal government from Washington City. Miss Mamie B. Williams a pret ty girl of nineteen daughter of a prominent Richmond family, is at Lexington, Ky., waiting for her lover to come and be married. When she was sixteen she fell in love with James H. Allen and although her parents strongly objected to him, he proposed and was accepted. Two years ago All en went to New Orleans. The lovers kept up a correspondence and when Mis3 Williams became of age they agreed to meet here and marrv. January the 14th was the date fixed upon and the girl arrived on time. Allen has not appeared nor has he sent any explanation. One of the white teachers who was sent to Beaufort by the "American Missionary Society," supported principally by the Con gregational church at the North to teach the colored people, received a note a day or so ago from a ne gro youth asking the pleasure of escorting her to church. She re plied that she was not sent to as sociate with the colored race but to educate them. KESATOB IKOALaVM SPEECH. New York Herald. Senator In gall's Bpeech yester day was what perhaps he intend ed it to be, a rather brilliant dis play of verbal fireworks. It abounded in epigrammatic state ments. No doubt it tickled the audience which listened to him. But readirer calmly the reoort of it we cannot see that he contribu- 7 ed anything to the solution of the problem which he began by de claring insoluble. The Caucasian race is master- ul, dominant and jealous of the purity of its blood. It has- the brains and the courage to rule, and it will not tolerate the rule nor ad mit the mixture of other races. The negro race is mild,' submis sive, clannish, gregarious, gather ing by itself in localities, refusing o become a part ot the general community. This was Mr. Ingall's statement of the two elements of the problem. It differs in nothing except, perhaps, in conciseness and positiveness of statement. rom that made a hundred times by Southern speakers. What thenl The hearer and readers of Mr, Ingall's have a right to ask him, What, O Kansas statesman, Senator, one of the awgivers of the Union, have you to oner as a solution of the prob- em you have stated 1 .Nothing. Nothing at all. 'A threat that wrong done will bear dreadful fruit. That we all know. A dark hint that the negro will presently revenge himself. But the negro shows no signs of be coming to that extent a Caucasian. Into the very States where negroes olaim that they have but lately suffered wrongs and deprivation of rights into those very States- Arkansas and Louisaua negroes are now emigrating from other States. The contested electiou books of evidence have much tes timony from negroes that they were prevented from voting, driven trom their homes, even in some cases their cattle aSad horses destroyed. But not a scintilla of evidence, sorfar as we have discov ered, that these colored people are leading or mean to leave the re gions where they have thus been dealt with. JN or the least testimony from them or from their white neighbors that where the negroes are eight, ten or twelve to one of the whites, they have lifted up t& hand to defend themselves against the attacks of insignificant minor itT- . 'Try' justice, Mr. Ingalls cms out to the white ' South. But the white South will reply to him, "Justice was tried , it was ' tried for. years, with United States troops to see that it was done and United States marshals to super intend it. And justice brought us the rascaliest misgovernment in history, under the manipulation of your own party." What can Mr. Ingalls say to such a reply? .Nothing, except to repeat his warning that injustice will breed revenge : that wrong comes back to the wrongdoer. That is true, and every Southern whi e should remember it. But threats are not statesmanship ; a jeremiad is not practical politics. From a law giver men have a right to expect remedies, not denunciation. Ver bal fireworks may amuse a Wash ington audience stalo with late suppers and longing for some new excitement. But they are un worthy of so great an occasion oi so momentous a question, and we , will add, of so thoughtful and able a man. One thing we note in Mr. Ingall's speech, and ask our colored tellow citizens to note it also. The Sen ator did not commit himself to the Sherman-Chandler programme. He did not advocate federal elec tion laws. He did not offer to help tho poor colored brother out of the difficulties which he so carefully exaggerated. Ile did not sugar over the words of con tempt which he had for the black race with any coating ot promised h ilp. That is the significant thing in his speech. Be Sure If you have made up your mind to boy flood'i SanaparilU do not be Induced to take any other. A Boston lady, whose example U worthy Imitation, tells her experience belowi " In one store where I went to bay Hood's SarsaparllU the clerk tried to Induce me buy their own instead of Hood'i ; he told me tbelr's would last longer; that I might take It on tea To Get days' trial; that If I did not like it 1 need not' pay anything, etc But be could not prevail on me to change. I told him I had taken Hood's SanaparUla, knew what it was, was satisfied with it, and did not want any other When I began taking Hood's SaraaparilU I was feeling real miserable with dyi pepsls, and so weak that at times I could hardly Hood's stand. I looked like a person In eonirnnff Uon. Hood's SarsaparilU did me so much good that I wonder at myself sometime, and my friends frequently speak of It." Kb. Ella. a. Govt, 81 Terrace Street, Boston.
