"Well, grandma," said a little boy, resting his elbow, on the old lady's arm chair, "what have you been doing here at the window all day by your self?" "All I could," answered dear grand ma. "I have read a little and prayed a great deal, and then looked out at the people. There is a little girl that I have learned to watch lor ; she has a wealth of sunny brown hair ; her eyes have the same sunny look in them, and I wonder every day what makes her look so bright. Ah, here she comes now." "Who, that girl with the brown apron on?" cried the boy. "Why, I know that girl : that's Susie Moore, and and she has an awful hard time, grand ma. "Has she, indeed?" said grandma. "Then wouldn't you like to know where she gets all that brightness from ?' "I'll ask her," said Arthur promptly, and, to grandma's surprise, he raised the window, and called, "Susie, Susie, come up here a minute, grandma wants to sec you." The little girl seemed surprised but she turned at once and came in. Arthur met her at the door, and said : "Susie, grandma would like to know what makes you so bright ail the time." "Why, I have to," said Susie ; "you see papa's been sick a long time, and mamma is tired out with nursing, and baby's cross with her teeth, and if I didn't be bright, who would be?" And grandma put her arm around the little girl, and said : "You could not have a better reason for shining. Keep on shining, dear little sunbeam."

O, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1894. THE PRIDE OP HIS STATE. Hon. Jno. S. Henderson of North Carolina, Chairman of The Post Office And Post Beads. Colored American, Washington, D. V. That this is the Augustan age in American history is no better proven than in a remark in the hearing of the writer recently by an intelligent color ed .North Carolinian, that, "Judge Henderson is the mast popular man in his Congressional district, and, al though a democrat, the colored people of that state like him, respect him and will vote for him." Coming from a colored republican, these words contain more than ordinary meaning. They mean that the colored people are ad vancing, that they are looking forward, that they are not fighting "the war over again." The old idea, that dem ocrats and southern white men are the inveterate enemy of colored people, is rapidly passing into history. To such men as Hon. J. S. Henderson of the seventh Congressional district of North Carolina and many others of his ilk, is due this beneficent and much deserved change of sentiment. Born near Salis bury, the home of .the late and honor ed Jos. C. Price, Mr. Henderson has more than an ordinary knowledge of the colored people ; and representing as he does, the highest type of the white people of that state, it is no surprise that the colored people should love and respect him. He represents the whole people of that state and not a part of them. Broad gauged and far seeing, he has won for himself a high place in the councils of his party and the .admi ration and respect of the members of all parties in the lower house. He is chairman of the Committee of Post Office and Post Roads, one of the most important committees in the House. His selection by the Speaker for this important chairmanship,, was made from the fact of his knowledge of postal affairs. Mr. Henderson has served eight years in the House of Representatives, and during that time has made a special study of our Postal Service. On this one branch of public service, he is rightly regarded as au thority. Mr Henderson is truly a rep resentative of the people, his conduct in this and previous Congresses proves this fact. One does not have to secure patent leather slippers, a swallow-tail coat and plug hat to see Mr. Hender son. He believes in American simplic ity and in the masses, and is always ready to see the people, be they black or white. There is scarcely a citizen from North Carolina but who calls on Mr. Henderson. He is good natured and pleasant and although busy at all times with the exacting duties of his committee, he finds time to listen to friends. He is a rock ribbed democrat and believes in the principles of his party. He is a tariff reformer of the old school and one of Mr. Cleveland's able and zealous supporters. He favors free coinage and when that question was before the House he did splendid work lor the white metal, the money of the people. Mr. Henderson is a friend of tbe colored people and it would be a very hard matter to induce the colored people of his district to vote against him. All the fusions known to man, possi ble or imaginary, in North Carolina this fall, will not prevent Mr. Hender son from polling a large number of col ored votes. The state cannot afford to retire such a man. It is the pride of all states, north Jand south, to point to the fact that they have in Congress a man especially adapted for Congression al work. Judge Henderson fills the bill. He stands squarely on the Nation Democratic platform as announced in the National Convention. This fact should satisfy any good citizen who de sires good government. Hon. John S. Henderson was born forty-eight years ago near Salisbury, N. C. He prepared for college at Dr. Alexander Wilson's school at Melville, that State, and entered the university of North Carolina in January 1862. In November, 1894, he left to enter the Confederate army as a private in Com EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. pany B. Tenth Regiment North Caro lina State troops. After the wax he studied law under Judge Nathaniel Boyden and in 18M he enterd Judge Pearson's law school at Richmond Hill. N. C. He obtained a license to prac tice in 1866 and in 1867 was apjiointed Register of Deeds for Rowan county. In 1871 he wan elected a delegate to the proposed Constitutional Conven tion, was a member of the State Consti tutional Convention in 187y and was elected to the State House of Represent atives in 1876 and to the State Senate in 1878. In 1881 he was elected as one of the three commissioners by the Gen eral Assembly to codify the statute laws of the State. In June 1884 he was elected Justice of the Inferior Court of Rowan county and was elec ted to the 49th, 50th, 51st and 52nd, and re-elected to the 53rd Congress, and if hard work and faithfulness to duty counts for anything in this dis trict, he will be elected to the 54th Congress. Hunger. Youth's Companion. Normal hunger is the natural demand of the system for necessary food. It has been aptly likened to the demand for fuel which a steam boiler makes in order that it may produce power in the shape of steam. But hunger is not infrequently the symptom of a disordered state of the stomach. Adults often suffer in this way. Sen sations of hunger come on at short intervals during the day, often at times when it is impossible to gratify them. When the iroper time for eating ar rives, the person is unable to eat for lnck of appetite. Sedentary habits, close confinement, lack of exercise or of out-of-door air are likely to produce this form of indiges tion. In adults the symptom is usually recognized as a form of dyspepsia, and a physician is consulted. In childhood a constant craving for food is too often looked upon as a nat ural accompaniment of the growing age. Children affected in this way commonly complain of an inability to eat at the regular meal-time, but be tween meals they become very hungry. Too often, in such cases, they are allow ed to satisfy themselves with cakes, candies, or other available sweetmeats. Such articles, which properly may be eaten at suitable times, serve them only to destroy the appetite for the next meal. It is not to be denied that j'oung children should be fed oftener than adults. Four meals a day may be given with propriety to children, as well as to the sick and aged ; but they should be given with regularity and with proper attention to the character of the food. A wholesome, substantial luncheon put up at home is better than the food which a child is likely to buy with money given to him for the purpose. The feeding of children at all hours is radically improper, since it directly favors digestive disturbances ; and a child improperly fed rarely grows into a large and well-formed adult. Some babies are always ravenously hungry, and yet are thin and poorly nourished. They should not be fed oftener than healthy babies The di gestive tract is weak, and needs intervals of repose in order to perform its func tions properly. Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two lottIes Dr. King's New Discovery completely cur ed hev and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Iv-rgers, Florida St. Sun Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching consumption, tried without result everything else tnen bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, ol which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and C'jld. Free trial bottles at E. T.

Mo., sends the following perculiar query to the editor of "Notes for the Curiou-," and asks for an answer to it : "If it were possible to drill a hale of a foot or more in diameter entirely through the earth and then to tart a ball weighing 100 iound or more to falling through the same, at what point would it stop?" Answer: Weight in the ense that "W. J. M." refers to it, is the measure of attraction ol gravitation ; or, in other words, it Is the measure of force with which a lody is attracted by the earth. This attractive force decreases loth ways from the surface of the earth both outward into space or downward towards the glole's sxpposed molten centre. In partial explanation of this assertion, I will say that any given size bulk of iron, or any other mineral or material whatever, will weigh less on the top of a high mountain than it will at sea level. In order to be exact in this matter I will say that a mass of 1,000 pounds weight will lose exactly two pounds letween tidewater and the top of a mountain four miles high. This, it is plain to le seen, is lecause the force of the earth's attraction is much less on the mountain top than it is at sea level. Therefore, if a ball be started on the journey outlined in the query sent in by our Richmond friend, its weight would decrease to a certain extent with ever' yard of its flight (or fall), until finally, upon reaching the centre of the earth, it would have no appreciable weight, the attraction at that point acting equally in every direction. This being true, it is plain that the phenom enon of what we know as "weight" would be entirely wanting, and the ball would be held in suspension as though immovably transfixed by numerous magnetic or invisible points. Newspaper and Friends. Clinton Enterprise. A newspajier, il it has any brains, conscience and muscle back of it, must continually decide between doing its duty and injuring its pocket. In any position but that of an editor, the pub lic is able to separate the individual homo from the collective citizen. But if the editor does not please them it's his pocket they aim at. Thus it is that newspapers learn who their friends are. .The man who reads a newspaoer and admires it all the year around, yet gives his business support to some oth er concern, whose principles he aetests, is not a friend ot the former paper. Admiration alone will not run a news paper. -Sooner or later such admirers will find that the object of their affec tions has become wedded toother ways that they do not admire in other words, a newspaper is complied, in order to live, to seek the friendship ol those who are not so platonic in their love, but unite in their practical es teem with sentiment that hinds mutu al admiration in other Professions. There are too many men who expect an editor to slave in defense of their pet notions and hebbies, advocate their views against the strongest opposition and coolly withhold the business si2 port by which alone a small newspaper can live. Talk about a paper having a public duty to jterform, and an editor having to labor for his principles. Is cheap when others stand back and while ex tending a lukewarm neutrality with one hand, are filling their pockets with the other hand as a result of the edi tor's Ialor for his principles which they admire but do not support.

And Labor need not deceive itself that armies will not fight it when it lecoines ; lawless. j But Labor's battle is not Jiojh1css. J No worthy battle is. It has the ballot. It may send its representatives to legis- j latures. If it knows what it desires., i there is no reason why it cannot have ! it. Lalor has leen deceived by dema- j gogues in legislatures and out. Some j have urged it to lawlessness, others! have promised it legislation which has not been effected. But there is no reason why it will always le deceived. Labor may gain much, too, by i peace ful methods. The TyiMigraphical l'n ion of Raleigh, for example, does hot strike, nor does it use undue means to prevent other good printers from work ing. Its members get good wages, but they are not extortioners. And more over, the organization is helpful to cm- nlnvpr na well ns errm oven m that ! it keeps the city well supplied with printers, and keeps out undesirable men. There is a lesson here for all or ganized labor a lesson in lawlessness and moderation. Bits of ' "Wisdom. Selected. A voting girl once heard a bit of i wisdom from the lips cf a very a gey I wo- j man a woman who had rounded the ! full term of .M) years, and, with eyes j still bright and clear, looked out ujsm j the in-rolling waters of eternity. The ! girl was impressed by the emphasis j with which the venerable dame said to j her : "Bessie, never in-let n having the last word. The determination to have the final word leads to more quarrels and more j bitterness of feeling at home than al- j most anything else in domeic life. The fact is, that one may so !!ow her opjionent the plea-ure of thi. eoetM concluding thrust, and yet placidly re tain her own opinion, and in the homely colloquial parlance of the up country, where one finds strong-willed leople living together in great j-ace. with the most pronounced diversity of characteristics, "do as fdie's mind to." Another bit of wisdom may le con densed into a pithy sentence : A void ex planations. In some families noth'ng is taken for granted. Every action, every decision, every new departure, every acceptance or rejection of an in vitation, must !e endlessly talked and fussed over, explained and re-ex plained. In that way lie all sorts of stumbling blocks. As a rule, leyond your parents er your husband, there is hoIkkIv who has the right to demand of you expla nations at each step of your onward path. Don't give them. Establish a reputation of keeping your own coun sel. It will serve you well in many a crisis, and be no end of comfort. i k I u II ! tl c : !-.-,. rvl I hi Jf ; - i rr rt-. r..MM ... .
