And yet while these are the weighty matters that wil! command the attention of the legislators, little is heard with reference to them while the papers are full of the aspirations of this and that fellow for this ana that office. Charity and Children speaks out words of wisdom and of-admonition in the followipg editorial which we gladly EG: duce. “What is the chef business oi a legislature? to elect a senator? Qne would suppose so from what the papers are saying. And from now until that question is decided | ail other matters will be side- tracked. A five thousand dollar jobis to be disposed of to some stateswan. JLivet the moral and material interests of North Caro- lina wait until that stupendous affair is settled.

Skinners Great Scheme. _—-- “This is what I thiek will hap- pen in 1900, unless the gold standard brings prosperity, that bids fair to be permanent,” said Congressman Harry Skinner, of North Carolina, at the Ebbitt. _ “The Popuiists will hold their national convention early, sooner _ than any of the other parties; as Z ‘early, perhaps, as the 22d -of February. They will proceed to ‘nominate, with practical unani-| tmity, W. J. Bryan for President and Marion Butler for Vice-Presi- ent, and the leading ‘plank in he a a will be an unequivo- thé ratio of 16 to 1, -of the other govern- ) world. 7 if the for free silver) | Democrats who supported Bryan ‘|thig time were sincere, bow cat they avoid giving him their as- [sistance four years from now ?| .|They will simply have to take him up, and. I doubi not they will | do 86 cheerfally. oe i “I recognize fully that condi- tions may be.so changed in 1900 that the leading issue of the cam- paigo jast ended may not come to the front. It would be neither pairiotic ner wise in Democrats or Pepalists to endeaver to thwart the incoming President in any of his. polices that tend so bring: back prosperity. In fact, they owe itto the country to lend a helping hand and to co-operate in every measure that makes for improvement. Aud I am #atistied that if President McKivley’s administraticn is pmarked by a restoration of prosperity, that he will be re-nominated and re- elected.”— Washiuzton Post. PELL Tae — kT The Legislatuie cf Penns; lya- nia Las appoiBted a commitiee to investigate (he subject of convict labor and to report as to the best way to employ that labor without injary to legitimate industry. The State of North Carolina comes nearer doing this now than any State we know of, and her example has been foliowed by two or three other Southe.n States. North Carclina works the bulk of ber convicts on farms leased by the State, some she hires to ralroad companies which employ them jn grading, ete, ou new roads, and under the law) sume counties employ short term convicts in grading the county roads. The number kept withi«a the penitentiary is comparatively small, mostiy women aud men who are not physically able to perform heavy manual labor. Working them on State farms does interfere, perhaps, with the larmivg industry in the neigh- borhogd of the farms, but nut euoigh to be of watertal imper- cance, for the amount of stulf they put upou the market does nut affect prices ; but tho way to eui— ploy convicts to get permanent, benefit from their labor is to put: them to road building, not ip little squady here and there, but, in pumbers suffisiont to be ew- ployed economically aud systeui- atically. A thousand conyicts so employed continuously weuld in a few years give roads that would benefit in numerous Ways, add immensely to the value of prop- erty, aud thus increase the States revenue from taxes.— Wilmington Siar, = as The report of t!e Secretary of the Lncerior, submitted to Con- gress Monday, shows that the United States have paid out in pensious and in the cost of dis- bursing them, in the last thirty- one years, the sum of $2,034,817,- 769. There are now 970,678 pen- gsiopers; @ greater pamber than ever be*ore. Verily,“rebellion”is expensive business.

One day a rich but ill natured man who made sad havoe of the French language called upon Jules Janin, the famous French critio, and began a tirade upon some tri execrable French, replied to hia visit “What do vou nican, M. Janin?”’ demaniiei the man angrily. ‘I don’i uoderstand you.

It has a crimson velvet cap with erimine border and is lined with white silk. Its gross weight is 39 ounces 5 pen- nyweights troy. The lower part of the band above the ermine border consists of a row of 129 pearls and the upper part of the band of a row ‘of 112 pearls, between which, in | the front of the crown, is a large sapphire, partly drilled, purchased for the crown by his. majesty King George IV. At-the back is a sapphire of smaller sizo and 6 other sap- phires, 3 on each side, between which are 8 emeralds. Above and below the 7 sapphires are 14 dia- monds and around the 8 emeralds 128 diamonds. Between the emer- alds and sapphires are 16 trefoil or. naments, containing 160 diamonds. Above the band are § sapphires, surmounted by 8 diamonds, between ‘which are 8 festoons consisting of 148 diamonds. Inthe front of the crown and in the center of a dia- mond Maltese cross is the famous ruby said to have been given Hd- ward, prince of Wales, the Black Prinee, by Don Pedro, king of Cas-_ tile, after the battle of Najara, atear | Victoria, A. D. 1867. This ruby was worn in the helmet of Henry V at the battle of Agincourt, A. D. 1415. It is pierced quite through, after the eastern custom, the upper part of the pier cing being filled up by a small ruby. Around this ruby, to form the cross, are 75 brilliant diamonds. Three other Maltese crossés, form- ing the two sides and back of the crown, have emerald centers, and contain, respectively, 182, 124 and 136 brilliant diamonds. Between the \four Maltese crosses are four orna- ments in the form of Freneh.flower- de-luce, with four rubies..in their centers and surrounded by rose diamonds, containing respectively 84, 86, 86 and 87 rose diamonds. From the Kaltese crosses issue four imperial urches, composed of oak |’ leaves and acorns, the leaves con- taining 728 rose, table and bril liant diamonds, 32 pearls forming the acorns, set in cups containing 5-4 rose diamonds and a table diamond ~The total number of diamonds in the arches and acorns is 108 bril. liant, 116 table and 559 rose dia- monds. I’rom the upper part of the arches are suspended four large pendant poar shaped pearls, with rose diamond cups containing 12 | rose diamonds and stems contain- ing 24 very small rose diamonds. Above the arch stands the mound, containing in the lower hemisphere 304 brilliants and .in the upper 244 brilliants, the zone and arc being compos sed of 33 rose diamonds. The cross on the summit hes a rose cut sapphire in the center, eurrounded: by 4 large brilliants and 108 smaller ones. The value of this beautiful ornament has been estimated by Barbot, the French jeweler, at the stun of $500,000, which, however, is probably very far below its real value. —St. Louis Globe- Democrat Wholesome, Anyway. Archdeacon Sinclair, in his ‘‘Lead- ers of Thought,” ete., tells a good story of an Eton head master, known as Flogging Keate. Finding one inorning a row of boys in his study, he began, as usual, to flog them. They were too terrified at the awful little man to remonstrate till he had gone half way down the row, when one plucked up courage to falter out, ‘Please, sir, we're not up for pun- ishment — we're a_ confirmation class!” ‘‘Neyer mind,’’ said Dr. Keate. ‘I must be fair all around, antl it will do you good,’’ So he fin- ished them o/f. Clams’ Eggs. The clam’s eggs are carried by the mother on her gills. When there are fish in the water with them, the mother clams discharge the eggs, which soon hatch, but if there are no fish they carry the eggs. until ‘they decay. The reason of this strange behavior is this: When the eggs are set free in the water, they soon hatch, and the little ones swim about until they find some fish to which to attach themselves. They live for a time on the mucus of the fish and then drop off, sink to the bottom and. form burrows for them- selves. This curious semiparasitic | life is no doubt a reversion, to the habit of some ancient ancestor.— Margaret W. Leighton in scan Science Monthly.
