"The Confederate, veteran bas played out in this country." Those wit tb words ued Sunday, at the Tabrnacl Baptist church door, by George L. Tonnoffski, chief clerk in the office of the Clerk of Court Dan lonng. Tonnoffski Ik at heart a Republican though for the furtherance of fusion plans he masquerades as h Populist.- But as for that matter he has, I am told, belong ed to all the parties at one time or an other. The words above emoted were used In a conversation with Mr. Gid Morris, a reputable gentleman and strong Demo c. at of the city. Tonnoffski was trying to defend U. o. Kay, superintendent of the county home, for discharging an old ton federate veterau because he would not coupent to vote the fusion ticket.

The man who imagines that the art of conversation consists in asking ques tions spoils conversation, as much as the man who never asks any. People of this description will interrupt a speaker as frequently as they do in the French chamber, and run anxiously from sub ject to subject with their interrogatories, like a cackling hen that is going to lay an egg. Horace Walpole, when exiled at Houghton, bemoans the existence of such a pest in the person of an aunt Writing to his friend Sir Horace Mann, he says: "I have an aunt here, a family piece of goods, an old remnant of in quisitive hospitality and economy. She wore me so down by day and night with interrogations that I dreamed all night she was at my ear with a who's. why's, when's and what's till at last in my very sleep I cried out, 'For heaven's sake, madam, ask me no more questions.' " . , ' Dr. Johnson's dislike of being ques tioned is well known, and he gives the classic refutation of the habit in his own inimitable style: "Sir, questioning is not the mode of conversation among gentlemen. It is assuming a superiority. and it is particularly wrong to question a man concerning himself. "-Cham bers' Journal . , r Hanrcr MadneM. ' The sufferings of pellagra are those well known in times of famine. The effects sometimes do not entirely disap pear. - A woman of my acquaintance near Monza, who had the pellagra some years before, was considered cured.' She was the wife of a prosperous shopkeeper when I knew her. The only remaining trace of her malady was that from time to time she stopped - in conversation, a ook of anguish came into her eyes, and she would say in her dialect: "II pan 'e bon, e il vin re bon ma il pan l'e bon 1" Bread is good, and wine is .good. but bread is good! The horror of that EaJJerinjr from starvation had never left her.

Gladstone: as a chemist. k Incident In -the Grand Old Man's Ca reer In the Commons. If Mr. Gladstone seldom indulged in sarcasm." it was not because he lacked the gift for he possessed it in a high degree but because he forbore to use it To hurt an opponent's feelings gave him sain and when he did it uninten tionally he would sometimes cross the floor of the house, and, sitting for a few moments by the side of the man whom he had just demolished, say something to assuage the wound. One of his most persistent, but never ill natured, critics was the late Sir John , Pope Hennessy, who told me the following story to il lustrate this generous trait in Mr. Glad stone's character, r ;." : . ' Q Sir John prided himself on his knowl edge of chemistry, and in one of the debates on the commercial treaty with France he made a speech exposing, as he believed, a serious chemical blunder in the treaty. Mr. Gladstone.iollowed, "and soon turned me inside out in the most amusing, manner, " said Hennessy in relating the sory, "proving, as if he had been a chemist by profession, that t was I who had blundered egregious- ly." : . Having thus disposed of his critic, Mr. Gladstone Went and .sat by him for a moment "I hope you don't feel hurt. Mr. Hennessy," he said. "Your epeech was ingenious, and it may console you to know that the emperor of the French made precisely the same objection that you have made. The fact is, both you and he know a good deal about chem- stry, but not enough to keep you from going astray." Canon McColl in Fort nightly Review.

Russell Denies Responsibility. Raleigh Sept. 5. Most of the talk here today 'was about that strange most strange order, of the war department Saturday, keeping the second regiment on duty mid musteringoutthefirst. The governor was heartily denounced as the cause of the astounding change. He de clares that he is not responsible, and that be had made n request as to either of the Tfgimeut.- AH day yesterday and again today the remark was make that the w ar department had done "another fool piece of business.'! , . , ; . : t There are some frank-spoken Republi cans on earth, and one of these says: "Yon must first of all disabuse yourself of any iden that there Is anything but politics in this whole business. What does the, war department care for merit? What does it care if the first rariraent is equipped for service in Cuba aud. wants to go tnere, while the second bas never been equipped and has no light-weight clothing at all? t you -must bring your self to believe that thegovernment thinks there is "pie" in a regiment's staying in service, go it first musters out the first, then the second and then the third."
