Under the constitution of 1875 the French is chosen the Senators and deputies in joint session. This method of selection insures the choice of man whom the legislators and whom they believe to be devoted to the principle of the supremacy of the legislature They habitually select a man who has long been a member, and has per- haps served an president, of one or the other of the chambers; who has been active in committee work, and has perhaps held a portfolio in one or more ministries; who not a strenuous or aggressive, and has not made too many personal enemies. This president, under the provisions of the constitution, may exercise certain enumerated powers only in the councils of ministers, and every act of his must be countersigned by a minister. The constitution also provides that ministers are responsible to the chambers for the policy of and individually for their own personal The French constitution vests the appointment of the ministers in the president, and does not require that their appointment be confirmed by the legislature; but by the mode of his and the nature of his the French President is obliged, to lake his ministers from the dominant party or coalition in the Chamber of Deputies, as the King of Great Britain takes his from the dominant party the House of Commons. The list is actually drawn up by party leaders, and the President appoints the men whose names are submitted to him All the powers conferred upon him by the constitution are, in fact, ex- by the ministers. As the familiar French witticism puts King of Britain bat does not govern; the of the United States governs, but does not reign; the President of the French neither reigns nor From French Presidency and the by Smith, in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for Feb- PITT COUNTY ASSOCIATION.

The Woman's Temperance Unions are joining in a request to Miss Alice Roosevelt to eliminate wine from her wedding breakfast If have anything in for Greenville's development you had better trot it out before somebody gels ahead of you. We cannot say what the railroad bill amount to in the way of becoming but it is giving the somewhat of a scare. The has seen a colder winter and a warmer winter but he has not brought back the one that compares with this for change- The thermometer and cotton are both keeping to the freezing point The North Carolina contingent are making the President earn his If February is to continue as bad as it has so far, there is some in it being a short month.

Democrats are Dot doing any kicking about the light that is still going on between Republican in the western part of the State- dispensary as a State is about to be killed by the Legislature of South Carolina. As conducted over there it has been a breeder of much corruption. It is one thing to have laws and another to enforce them. If there was as much persistence in looking after violators of the law as there is after the game law, you would a difference. The man w ho fails to pay his taxes is not considered much of a citizen in this country of ours, and sometime he causes trouble in not expected. Some years ago L. and other were indicted for wrecking the First National Bank of Asheville. They were tried, convicted and sen to several years imprisonment in the penitentiary at Atlanta. peal to a higher court was taken, and the United Suites Circuit Court of Appeals at Richmond to which the case went has reversed the of the lower court dismissed the indictment. The ground upon which this action was based was the fact that two of the grand jurors who found the bill of indictment had faded to pay dis- qualified to serve.

Dixon applied to polio hindquarters to carry a pistol and now armed any who try to execute the threat. SIN NOW, NOT YEARS AGO. an Octogenarian on the and Using of Liquor. What is now a sin and a shame not a sin sixty years ago This at least is the opinion of a gentleman from one of the mountain counties who is in the city. His name is Jacob and he is hale and hearty at Si. interesting to talk with the old gentleman. He said, in part, that he had all his life lived in a section where they made liquor. he said, a little brandy and whiskey for his own use sixty years Some made it in large quantities and sold it, it f of miles, but the great major never made it to be sold; they just stilled a little for their own use and if a neighbor wanted any he sent and got it like h- would any thing else. In those day very men got drunk, though almost every man would lake a drink. They used it like medicine know a few men yet living who take three a day, but no more; they take it just before their meals, but the new gen. can't be depended upon. For the past or years the practice Has been growing worse and when you see a young man who drinks at all he is mighty apt to get too much. I don't think the Almighty ever intended that liquor should be abused as it I don't really think it was a sin to make it and use it as they did sixty years ago. but it a sin and an evil now of large made so because the people have abused it and it is well country is waking up and weeding it out. The people are abusing other things as well as liquor was seldom in my earlier years that you saw a who could not eat anything he wanted to, now you run across people by the and thousands who have diet themselves. This is because they have abused their and it would be a sin for them to eat certain things, for it is detrimental to their health. Away- back before the war the good old Methodist circuit rider expected to be invited to take a toddy before supper and after a long ride he was seldom disappointed, but he don't expect any such thing now and if invited would consider it an insult. Yes, things have changed and they keep on changing. A great many men are getting better, but those who are not are a great deal There is a good deal of truth in what Mr. says and a good deal of sense as Record.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, A GRATEFUL BRIGAND.- Story of Church of Cup Of Cold One of the many churches of bears the ft range name of Church of the Cup of Cold This is its A good hearted but very poor priest, living in a little village not far from the mountains, was star- one day by two or three sol- hers entering his house, carrying with them a bleeding brigand with a broken arm. The priest hastened to bind up the wounded arm, though the captors seemed to care little whether or not their prisoner lived. The injured man. who bore his sufferings without a groan, then Legged for a drink of water, and as he raised himself to receive it, en- by the priest's kind man- he whispered his two were left friendless on the edge of the WOOded hills. When the prisoner had been dragged away the cure went in search of the poor children, found crying and hungry and brought them to his humble home. Then, poor as he was, he sent the boy to school and the girl to n neighboring convent and, by much self denial and in spite of many remarks on his folly, provided for their support. Years passed away, and the were almost grown up when one a magnificent carriage stop- the door of the humble par- A line looking man in form, his breast covered with orations, stepped out. lie explained that he was the wounded brigand, that he had and in one of the many Spanish revolutions had Io be of the winning party, now held a high office and had re- turned to claim his children. And when he had affectionately greeted them he asked permission of the old priest that he might build him a new church in place of the shabby little mountain chapel and call it Church of the Cup of Cold The Mule. No animal is more abused than a mule, yet few have as much good, common sense. When a mule thinks he has enough he quits eating. If he is too hot he will not drink until he has cooled off. When a horse thinks lie has enough he is to be foundered, and the hotter he is the more he wants to drink. Mules run off sometimes, but they seldom do any damage. They soon get tired and stop and never run into ditches or fences. Some horses cannot, but no mule can lie driven into a ditch or on a dangerous bridge at night. A mule will lie awake nights to get a chance to kick a man or a dog, but seldom wastes his strength on a wagon or a buggy. A kicking horse will kick anything and everything. A mule has sense enough keep out of a barbed wire, while a horse will go into it almost every chance he has. When they are sold, a horse has to sell on his individual merit, while ii mule sells because he is a Some mules are better than other-, but all mules are good mules, as all fat cattle are good when it comes to selling Globe.
