Little Mabel Miller, five years of age,
living on Houston ayenne, near "Nine

but her mother's father is a French
man, M. Sovine. German, is the lan

and, although' Mabel has never heard
anything else, she is able to speak
English quite as fluently. . ;
Illness in the family she invariably
predicts, and there has not as yet been
an instance where , she was in error.
When asked how it is she can tell when
a member of the household is about to
be ill she invariably says; "I sees em
in the bed." As a rule her prophecies
are without solicitation, as she usually

We account it fortunate that the

make us tired. We are in a position. to

WASHiseTOK, Nov. 11. Senator Ma
rion Butler, of Noith Carolina, in an
interview to-day, expressed the opinion
that it was not possible for a gold Sena
tor to be elected in this state to"succced
Senator Pntchard. The ; Populists in
the ' Legislature hold the balance ot
power, and they will declare in their
caucus, says the Senator, for. some ruaq
who is not only a straight, silver man,
but who is also for an income tax, and
who is opposed to the National Banking
system. " The Senator saidhe believed,
the Populists would Jtand solidly for
such a map aud if there are not
enough silver men in the. Legislature to
come to their assistance to elect such a
man, then the Legislature will be dead
locked and no one will be elected.
