COL. JOHN T. GRAVES
May Go Oi the Stamp For Bryan
and Watson
HE IS A SOUND MONEY DENOCRAT
Hut Maye Make a Plea For the Southern
Vice-Presidential Candidate*
It iti baid.
The managers of the Watson movement
are not letting it sleep. Last week there
was an outcropping of Georgia orators in
his favor. The next thing is to be a dem
onstration for him at Madison Square
Garden, New York. It appears after all
that the Bryan and Watson club of Nev-
York is not a myth. It seems likely to
demonstrate that it is no postprandial
vagary, but a real, living, potent fact
says the Journal.
There is an able bodied rumor afloat to
the effect that the Bryan and Watson
club of New York and the Bryan and
Watson clubs of Georgia, will co-operate
with similar organizations throughout
the country to organize a demonstration
for Tom Watson in Madison Square Gar
den. It is said by the friends of Mr.
Watson that the democratic masses are
for him and will not follow the lead of
the politicians who put Sewall ou the
ticket with Bryan. They claim that nine
tenths of the democratic party would hail
with enthusiasm the substitution of a
southern man.
Will Furnish Oratory.
Os course the demonstration in New
York, to be a success, must be garnish
ed with oratory, and it is said that as
both Bryan and Bourke Cockran have
disappointed New York audiences by
the strictly argumentative character
of their speeches, a dash of oratory of
the fervid scintillating .type would
electrify the metropolis. In casting
about for a Mian for the emergency,
the thought of the Watson people
naturally turned to John Temple
Graves, who possesses in marked de
gree the power of crystalizing a vol
me of argument into a single coruscat
ing sentence.
Want Graves to Speak.
There is a rumor that Mr Graves
will be asked to go to New York and
make a speech for Watson, and if he
does so he will no doubt make the hit
of his life. While lie is a gold demo
crat and out and but Watson man,
Mr. Graves supports the national
democratic platform on the ground
that it contains issues more vital than
free silver. He thinks the contest of
the masses against entrenched priv
ileges is a more serious matter than
a question of currency, which will be
out of the way in a year or two.
A Prayer For the Queen.
Years ago there was a quaint eld par
son who ruled with a high hand (impos
sible now) in his Only recently
was he taken, at a very advanced age.
He had a kind sympathy with his sover
eign, grown old like himself. In Scot
land the sovereign is prayed for in
church in words chosen at the discretion
of the officiating minister. That ancient
priest was wont to say, every Sunday:
* ‘Lord have mercy on the queen. And
now that she has become an old woman,
make her a new man. ” I may venture
to say that the individual interested in
that very sincere petition thought it an
extremely good one. It was better by
far than when a bewildered youth, who
had wholly forgotten the terms in which
he was to utter tbe national prayers,
after having named the sovereign, stood
a space in awful silence, the congrega
tion all gaping; then in desperation
burst forth, * ‘May she not be a wicked
woman!”
There was a quite different kind of
queen, for whom in certain kirks the
prayers were once omitted. The elders
waited on the ministers, and said that
all the congregation desired that the
unhappy person in question might be
prayed for. And indeed it is inconceiv
able that any one who could pray for
her husband should have had any diffi
culty in praying for any human being
whatever. “Oh, yes,” replied the min
ister; “I’ll pray for the queen, if you
wish it.” Accordingly, on the next
Sunday, the expectant flock listened to
if they did not quite join in the remark
able words: ‘‘Lord, have mercy on the
queen. Pawdon her numerous and high
ly awggravated senna’’ Longman’s
Magazine.
On the Abolition of Organ Grinding.
There is to be a rehearsal with four
fiddles. I know it. It is a long sonata,
and will last, with the necessary repe
titions and goings back—‘‘We’ll take
that passage over again”—for at Least
an hour. What shall I do? Take my
hat and rush out to the noisy street Or
anywhere. How savagely do I send the
organ man flying, but that does me no
good. Alas! I have to put up with my
musicians next door. Sometimes, in
deed, I am congratulated upon my vi
cinity. “These delightful musical peo
ple, and such good music! It must be a
constant entertainment for you. ”
But I have to put up with them.
Therefore it is plain that the abolition
of the organ could be only the most
feeble of alleviations, and that to put
up all round is really the only way.—
Blackwood’s Magazine.
The Opal.
The opal, robbed today of its ancient
splendor, is called an unlucky stone. It
was so valued at one time that Senator
Nominus preferred to renounce his seat
rather than give his opal to Mark An
tony. It was valued at 20,000 ses
terces, nearly half a million of our
money. The opal was said to raise the
spirits, preserve cordial relations and by
discoloration show whether he was in
the presence of friend or foe.

A PIONEER POPULIST.
Seymour F. Norton Has Been a Political
Dissenter For Many Years.
When you read of tho ballot in the
Populist national convention where 331
votes were cast for Seymour F. Norton
to 1,047 for William J. Bryan, possibly
you asked, ‘‘Who is Seymour F. Nor
ton?”
Any Populist would answer that Sey
mour F. Norton was a pioneer in the
cause and when he consented to stand
as the candidate of the ‘‘middle of the
road” men at St. Louis it was not the
first time he had led a forlorn hope. He
was a leader of the greenback movement
before Peter Cooperarose to prominence
in the party. He has always opposed
SEYMOUR F. NORTON.
the two great parties, believing that
they are not at bottom in sympathy with
the people.
Mr. Norton has been indentified with
the Populist party from its inception
and is credited with giving the Popu
lists their creed.
He is a native of Vermont, but has
lived most of his life in Chicago. For a
good many years he published The Sen
tinel, a weekly reform paper, in that
city. The Sentinel is now issued as a
monthly at Joliet, Ills. Mr. Norton edits
it and the Joliet Weekly News. Some
years ago he wrote in the interest of the
greenbackers a book entitled “Ten Men
of Money Island,” which made a great
hit.
Mr. Norton is a picturesque character.
His handsome face and soldierly air
would command admiration and atten
tion in any assemblage. He is tall and
evinces a kindly manner. His mustache
is nearly white, and his bushy hair is
streaked with the gray that comes with
50 years of life. He always wears a
slouch hat.
Athletics In Switzerland.
Physical strength is highly rated in
Switzerland. In several cantons the cus
tom still prevails of holding wrestling
matches. The champions taking part in
these athletic sports belong to the most
diverse ranks in the social scale.
▼iolet Perfume.
Millions of violets, “sweeter than the
lids of Juno’s eyes, ” nestle at Grasse
and Nice under the gray shadow of the
orange groves, yet the 200,000 pounds
of this flower sacrificed every year to
the flower press are not sufficient for
the toilet. The perfumer is glad to fall
back on the intense violet odor of “Cas
sie, sweet to smell,” for, sickly as its
scent is when used alone, it gives the
indispensable note to many bouquets and
is longer available than the violet, the
blossoms of Acacia farnesiana being
successive, while those of its better
known floral ally are quickly over.
There cannot be a greater contrast
than that existing between the lowly
tufts of the Parma violet and the tree
15 feet high, with its stem thick as a
man’s wrist and its branches 6 feet
long. Yet the blossoms have the same
characteristic odor. Cassie, too, the
flower farmer’s latest crop, forms a fit
ting introduction to the violet harvest,
occurring, as the former does, in Novem
ber and December, while the purple
shadow of the latter is not seen under
the olives till the beginning of Febru
ary. Both odors are obtained by the
characteristic enfleurage system—pure,
inodorous lard being placed on sheets of
glass and covered with flower petals.
Forty or fifty of the trays are then piled
on one another, till the lard is charged
with their perfume, the flowers being
changed from 30 to 40 times before the
pomade is considered sufficiently scent
ed.—Chambers’ Journal.
