THE MOTHER AFTER ALL.
BY MISS C. H. THAYER.
Rose and Elsie Armour were pret
ty, but somewhat commonplace girls
of seventeen and nineteen. They
were fond of fun and society, and as
each had a devoted admirer,, they
found life well worth the living. Ed
ward Somers and Mark Hammond
were quite satisfactory heroes in
their eyes, and two engagements
would have been the probable result
if a certain Mr. Montford had not
appeared upon the scene. He was
many years older than Uie two young
men mentioned, beside being far
more cultivated and well-informed.
Even such ordinary girls as Rose
and Elsie could not help seeing the
superiority of this- delightful stran
ger, and as he paid them a good deal
of attention after the introduction he
requested, their foolish heads were
quite turned. They treated their
former favorites with supercillious
coolness, so that the latter turned
away with indignation expressed
v ry plainly on their faces.
"Is that the great Mogul?" one of
them asked. "He carries his head
as if he considered himself of quite
as much consequence. Who is he,
anyway?" '
"A kind .of intellectual dude, I
should say. An interloper, at the
least. See those girls smirk at eve
rything he says. He must be fear
fully vity."
"What business lias he to come
here and steal our girls from us?"
"Weil, I do not know, but it seems
to me they are only too well pleased
to be etolen."
"That shows just how much we
can rely upon them when they seem
to favor us. They are sweet as doves
until some bigger pi ey is perceived."
"Let us go and dance with the two
prettiest girls in the room, and show
Misses Rose and Elsie that we are
not going to sigh away our hearts on
their account."
This they accordingly did, flirting
afterward with their pretty partners
In the most desperate manner. But
it was all to no purpose, as the of
fending young ladies were so com
pletely taken up with their new
acquaintance they had neither eyes
nor ears for any one else.
The only trouble seemed to be that
his attentions were divided so equal
ly between them, although each was
convinced in her own mind that she
herself was the favored one.
"How many times did he dance
with you?" Rose asked her sister at
at the first opportunity offered.
"Three times of course."
"Why of course? He danced just
as often with me."
"But then he talked to me in such
a flattering way it made me feel quite
superior."
"What kind of a feeling is that?"
"Perhaps you will never know."
Fortunately they were interrupted
here, or they might have quarrelled.
But as soon as they were at home
they allowed their raptures free ex
f pression.
-Oh, mother 1" Rose gushingly
exclaimed, "ve made such a delight
ful acquaintance this evening. So
different from all the other gentle
men." "Different!"' Elsie repeated. "I
should say so."
"In what way does he differ?" their
mother inquired with an amused
smile.
"He knows so much and talks so
beautifully. Oh, he is perfectly
splendid !"
"It must b a pleasure to see this
eighth wonder of the world. Does
he intend to remain here permanent
ly?"
"Yes; and he is going to call, so
you can judge for yourself."
Mrs. Armour laughed a good deal
at their girlish raptures, and then
advised them to go to bed.
She did not confess thtt she had
already met the object of their ad
miration, not considering it neces
sary to do BO.
Consequently they were astonished
to see her receive Irinv Mrne- tie
called as if he were - anything "but a
stranger.
And as the two soon entered into
an animated discussion of subjects
quite beyond their mental capacity,
they did not enjoy the gentlemau's
visit nearly as much as they had
anticipated.
"Why did you make ns think y- u
had never seen Mr. Montford?" they
asked their mother, afterward. ,
"Oh, I wanted to hear your opin
ion ofhnn," she answered laughingly
He soon became a constant visitor,
and the girls were much perplexed
concerning his intentions.
"I wonder which of the two he
prefers." Rose sid one dy to her
sister. "I wish he would hurry np.
and let us know."
"Well," answered Elsie, "I fi id him
looking at me sometimes In a way
that makes me blush like a goose.
So tender, you . know, and, oh, so
Roxboro, North
imploring I"
"It must be natural for Lim then,
to assume that imploring air, for. he
has looked at me in that way very
often."
"Does he press your hand?"
"He wants to, I am sure."
"Wants to ! Why does he not dc
it then? Certainly he has "
"Does he yours?"
"In a degree. But he utters my
name in such a soft, lingering way."
"How can he help it? It is a soft
name."
"Now, Rose, do not say mean,
sarcastic things because Mr. Mont
ford pays me more attention than he
does you." -
"My eyesight is not strong enough
to see anything of that .kind. And
he prefers blonde complexions, I
know."
"What do you call mine?"
"Not fair, certainly. You might
Call it a kind of mongrel complex
ion." "Perhaps that is "witty. But he
likes to talk with me about books,
anyway."
"He talks more to mother than to
you."
"And he often leaves you to have
long arguments with her."
"Yes, I have read that diffident
men pay attention to the mother for
the daughter's sake."
"The daughter meaning you, of
course, in this case. But Mr. Mont-
fords's diffidences will never distress
him greatly "
"Ob, no. But it cannot be mother
who"
"Mother ! How absurdly you talk !
Don't you thick it is grandma?"
"I wish he would speak."
"I thought you considered Ed
Somers the light, of the world. Has
he lost his brilliant char-ns already?"
"And I supposed you fairly doted
on Mark Hammond. Has Mr. Mont
ford extinguished him entirely?"
"Now, see here, Roe, it is too ab
surd to quarrel about a man who evi
dently thinks we will wait, like fe
male Jacobs, for him to speak. Let
us go and practice our duet."
Soon afterward their mother
entered, looking fresh and bright as
a young girl.
"Why, mamma," Elsie exclaimed,
"what rosey cheeks you have brought
home with you." Where have you
been?"
"I have been riding, my dear."
"Riding ! Whom with?"
"With Mr. ifontford, and I had a
delightful drive."
"Did you meet him?"
"Yes, but he was coming here."
"Then, of conrse, he intended to
ask me or Elsie," exclaimed Rose
in an aggrieved way. "Oh mamm
mamma are you not ashamed to steal
my Elsie's, our admirer?"
"Whom do you imagine he intend
ed to invite, my dear little girl?"
"I cannot be certain, of course.
You might have asked him."
"We talked of other things."
"Then I will ask him."
"You would be vey bold especi
ally as I am quite sure he did not
intend to ask either of my young
daughters."
"De you-think he would prefer an
Old lady to a young one?"
"In this case, most certainly."
' Oh, mother, mother, what a vain
Woman you are to think that you can
cut us out."
"Perhaps I am, but you had better
say nothing more about it, and con
tinue your practicing."
" Mrs. Armour was much handsomer
than either of her daughters, and
although nearly forty years old, did
not look much over thirty.
While they were simply pretty
girls, she was unquestionably' a
supurb looking woman, and bub a
few years older than the gentleman
whose attention puzzled Rose so
greatly.
Soon after this be invited them all
to go with him for a little excursion
upon the railroad, and they started
in fine spirits. Bat on the way the
girls went into another car to see
some friends, leaving their mother
with Mr. Montford.
Then an accident occurred, and
the passengers were much shaken
and alarmed. althvngu no one was
seriously injured.
Rose and Elsie tumbled out of the
oar in great bewilderment, while the
former expressed her feelings with
indignant emphasis.
"It is very strange," she said,
"that Mr. Mortford does not come to
see if we are hart. A kind, consid
erate escort, certainly ! One would
think we were of no more con se
quence than two cats."
"He mayTje harthiflaself, Rose."
"Pshaw ! i do4iot believe it."
"Pertiaps mother is. Come quick
and we w 11 try to find her.".
They hastened their steps, and
finally came to a little green spot
away from the crowd, where a tableau
confronted them which caused the
simultaneous raising of two pairs of
eyes and bands in startled 'amaze

ment.
Their mother was lying upon the
grass, her 'head supported by Mr.
Montford, whose face, and low, anx
ious tones betrayed the most absolute-devotion.
Was there ever a more disgusted
young woman than Miss Rose
Armour?
Now the puzzling conundrum was
solved, and in the most preposterous
manner.
With an absurd affectation of dig
nity she showed as plainly as pos
sible her scorn and disapproval.
"Mr. Montford," she said, "I can
support my mother, if she needs assis
tance, and it certainly would look bet
ter under the circumstances."
"She is opening her eyes, thank
Heaven?" he exclaimed, taking no
more notice of Rose than if she had
indeed been a little fussy white cat.
"Are you much hurt Mrs. Armour?"
"Oh, no," she replied, returning
his glance with one tender as his
own. "I feel weak, that Is all."
"I hope and pray that it will prove
so. The passengers all escaped
serious injuries, I am told.''
"Ah, girls I" Mrs. Armour said in
relieved tones, "you are not hurt, I
see."
"Very fortunately, we are not,"
Ruse answered dryly. "How shall
we get home, Mr. Montford?"
"I will go for a carriage; and you
Thust remain here until I return, Mrs.
Armour. You look very pale."
As sooa as he had left, turning to
her mother, Rose inquired in sarcas
tic tones :
"Shall we call that young man
'papa.' or simply 'Willy.' dear? We
would like to "
"You are very pert and insolent,"
Mrs. Armour answered, looking deep
ly hurt. "1 will inform you now that
I have agreed to marry Mr. Montford
without considering it necessary to
ask your advice or approval. I am
old enough to do as I please."
"We never denied that, mother,"
retorted the incorrigible girl.
"I have no fear that Elsie will be
either rude or cilly, and I advise yoaf
Rose, for your own interests, to be
have as much like her as possible."
She looked so stern and severe the
young lady thought it wisest to suc
cumb outwardly, much as she rebell
ed at heart.
""Well, Elsie," she said when they
were alone together, "perhaps now
you will deign to smile upon poor
Mark Hammond."
"Do you intend to encourage sigh
ing Ed Somers once more?"
"He seems to be sighing in another
direction just now. I am afraid, in
reaching for the shadow we have lost
the substances."
"Perhaps we had to much confi
dence in our youthful charms."-
"Yes especially as it proved to be
mother after all.''
Circulating Secession Petitions.
Notwithstanding the qualified
denials which have gone out, there
is ample proof that petitions have
been in circulation in Co'orado ask
ing the Federal government for leave
to that State to secede peacefully
from the Union and unite its for
tuned with Mexico, with which it has
allied in sympathy and interest on
the silver qnestion. There is no
doubt of the fact that, on account of
the denial of the right of the free
coinage of silver, Colorado, Nevada
and other of the Northwestern States
wool I like to secede from the Union,
but they should not be allowed to do
it. We folks down here wanted
peaceble secession, more that thirty
years ago but were not allowed to
have it, nor any other sort. What
was too good for us is too good for
them. Let them stay in the Union,
as we have done, and tough it out.

ABSOLLfTELY FJJRE
GOLD AND SILVER.
Gold is Not Universal Money, as is Popularly
; Supposed.
"It is a little wonder," said a well
known English) traveler, who was in
the Senate galliery yesterday during
the deliyery of Mr. Vtras'- speech;
"that the pu-blic is puzzled as to cur
rency theories when Senators pay so
little regard to-the facts."
Senator Vilas had just declared
that gold was everywhere "money,"'
when Senator Teller said : "No; in
India, for example, it is not availa
ble for money any more than dia
monds are." The Wisconsin Senator
replied : "Always these silver ad
vocates have to ride off to some
country where we are in the dark as
to the facts."
The English visitor said that not
only was gold coin not money in
India and the East, but Le said:
"You could not get a breakfast for a
sovereign in inanyoiiL jjje out of-the-way
towns in British India. And
further, in the Eastern provinces of
Russia the peasantry will not even
take Russian gold coin except at an
actual discount, notwithstanding that
gold coin is quoted at a 40 per cent
premium today over the paper rouble
And if I were asked what coin circa
lated at par over the largest area in
the world, I should sa' the Mexican!
silver dollar. Indeed, I don't know
any country, wuetner civilized or
savage, except part of Africa, where
it is not convertible at its par. In
Ceylon it is current money; in the
entire Malay Peninsula; it is the cur
rency unit of China; any bank and
any bourse in Europe will take it.
Why is it so popular; why has it
superseded throughout all China the
trade dollar of France and tbe Uuited
States? I can give no other reason
than this one that it is legal tender
at its home and the Mexican mints
are open to coin it in unlimited
amounts.
"If I may take Senator Vilas as a
representative of gold mono-metal-lism,
then I think Sir George Ches
ney's recent statement is justified in
your country, al6o that the world is
divided into two schools, the bi
mettallists; into those who under
stand the question and those who
don't." Washington Post, 13th.
The Boys Like His Stylo.
Mr. M. M. Procter, of Boston, who
is in the South as the representative
of some Eastern capitalists, came
down from Asheville yesterday.
"The visit of Vice President Ste
venson to North Carolina," said he,
"has been one round of receptions
and ovations. Mr. Cleveland may
not think the Vice President amounts
to much, but it looks as if the people
had a great deal of admiration for
e gentleman from Illinois. I have
found the same enthusiasm mani
fested toward Stevenson up in our
State. It is true the mugwump-Har-

'Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out."
The downfall' of Representative
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, is sad to
contemplate and should serve as a
warning to others who might be
tempted to follow his example. It
matters not how his suit may termi
nate, whether Miss Pollard recovers
any damages or' not, his hypocrisy
and immorality have been fully ex
posed and should forever disgrace
him in the estimation of all decent
persons. No exposure of her char
acter can excuse his immorality and
disgraceful conduct. Indeed the
lowjff Jie may sink her character is
that much the worse for himt and
rather intensifies than justifies his
guilt.
It is sad indeed to thiuk that so
prominent and brilliant a man could
be such a hypocrite such a "whited
sepulchre." For nearly ten years a
distinguished member of Congress,
a father with grown children, a pro
fessing Christian and aa Elder in the
Presbyterian church, and yet lead
ing a double life, violating his mari
tal vows and so deeply disgracing
himself in his old age !
This case forcibly illustrates the
frailty of human nature and is a
striking illustration of how little a
min's true character is known even
by his intimate friends. The ex
posnre of Col. Breckinidge's gross
immorality is no doub: a startling
surprise to all who knew him. and
brands him as a hoary-headed hypo
crite of the deepest dye, who until a
year ago was regarded as a Christian
gentleman. Chatham Record
Cur Farmers in Good Fix.
The conditi on of farmers in North
Carolina i$ one which gives great
assurance at this time, and should
encourage our people very much. In
the North and particularly North
west, the suffering and destitution
amongst the one-crop farmers is such
as to cause great apprehension. So
great is the depression that many are
writing this office in search of new
t. - . 1 .
uomes in a mua climate wnere a
variety of ferm products may be
grown. I he financial depression has
affected our farmers but little; they
may not, and in many cases have
not much, if any, cash, but they have
plenty to feed man and beast and a
prospect of a good crop before them.
The climatic conditions have never
been better for the furtherance of
all farm operations than we have en
joyed in this State this year; acd
that, too, while the great Northwest
has been swept by the blizzard and
buried in snow. We are sure that
our section must ultimately become
the great garden and diary of the
eastern half of this great country.
Let our farmers see to it that they
grow a Bumciencv oi iooa sums, so
that the problem of "What shall we
eat?" may be solved; then put in all
the cotton and tobacco that can be
well tended, and no more. This is
the only safe course for our people.

No Date Yet Fixed for Reporting the Tariff
Bill-
Washington, March 14. The
Senate committee on finance failed
again today to reach an agreement
as to when the tariff bill should be
reported to the Senate. Some ol the
members expressed the opinion,
however, that it would be finally
acted upon during the first days of
next week. The tim of meeting
was consumed in the discussion of
several features of the bill which
were taken up at random.
It is understood that the debate
on some of these points was very
animated and that considerable
feeling was displayed. The Repub
lican members criticised not only the
rates fixed but construction of parts
of the bill which the Democrats fixed.
Objection was made to publication
of the proceedings of the committee
and resolutions pledging the members
to secresy was adopted.

testifies to this remarkable family
and political harmony. It is on
