was married to the belle of Ten
nessee. ami in less than two
months after his marriage lie sud
deniy resigned the Governorship,
deserted his wife and home and
disappeared. This created a sen

Houston wasl regarded as the
most promising young mao in the
South. The resignation of lliejJ
Governorship, his deseilion of his
bride and Iris abandonment of tbe
path of civilization have always
been a mystery. He never reveal

But the clerk ic charge of the Vir

A Fair Mystery.
More than one citizen of Colum
bus is engaged in trying to solve a
fair mystery. The mystery is
about a lady, who, it is said made
her appearance in Columbus
about six weeks ago. She wore a
heavy veil when she came, and
lirs worn it continually ever
since. No one here baa ever seen
her face. She lives alone in a
house on n certain avenne, not
far south of Twelfth street. Even
her washerwoman, who is full of
curiosity on the subject, has uev
er seen her unveiled. That indi
vidual says that the lady’s linen
is of the finest tfbality and is very
abundant.
Oa pleasant afternoons the lady
can be seen, for u‘ few minutes at

Stick ta tbe llraiorratie Party.
Twenty-two years ago the Smith
was little less than a Wild waste.
Four years of bloody war had told
the story. Ocean waves could
have been liut little more destruc
tive than the army wares which
hsd swept hack ami forth over
its fairest fields ami valleys. De
struct ion, desolation, death mark
ed almost every home throughout
her entire borders.
With hearts yet bleeding, pen
niless and uncertain as lo the fu
ture her sons had lo liegin anew
the battle of life. Hard as this
battle was under then existing
facts, it was yet to lie made harder
through the passions engendered
by war and kept alive by Keptili-
lican politicians, who tiseil it for
the [icrpelualinn of their (tower.
The great mass of the Northern
press was then aligned with the
Republican party. Abuse and
misrepresentation resultant from
passion and ignorance character
ized its action, the sentiment of
the civilized world was arrayed
against ns; wo were advertised as
barbarians, ignorant, lazy, thrift
less, arrogant and unjust to our
fellow man. In Ihe face of all
this we waged with hearts now
grown strong, and with increased
facilities our battles and strug
gles, no longer now for life, but
for our natural position in the
administration of the affairs of the
government, into which we have
lieen, as it were, rrincor|H»raled.
In the face of passion and
slander we have built jm our
waste places and entered well into
the struggle for commercial su
premacy. which we predict will
yet lie ours.
In these struggles we were sus
tained by the Democratic party
of the North, they pleaded, beg
ged and fought for constitutional
gnv< rnment. By their aid we re
gained our |w>litie:il heritage, by
their aid the great barriers of
passion and prejudice were lieatcn
down, by their aid sectionalism
has received its death stall, and
by it the eves ol the world hare

the wondrous growth of twenty
ycars, and the still more wondrous
prodigality with which nature
has dealt with us in the dislribu

Why Ihe Flare Is Hard te Fill.
There is an idea in the minds
of many who ought to know liet
ter that the “country editor”
stands on the lowest platform of
the profession, and that lie who is
employed in any capacity, no mat
ter how humble, on a mctro|M>li-
lan journal is his su|>erior. There
is no greater mistake. An editor
who has held important chairs in
metropolitan offices, and who has
the reputation of having been suc
cessful. remarked: “I do not hes
itate to write the leaders of the
most iirpot tint journals, but I
would tremble to undertake tlic
management of a village newspa
per.” There is no |msilinn so dif
ficult lo fill as that of the country
editor. In cities a man who can
do one department well bothers
himself about no other. Nor need
lie: begets the knack of his spec
ially and continues at it. But the
country editor must be good tn all
departments; lie must lie well read
on all subjects; lie must lie able lo
discern the trend of the public
mind in |Hiliiics. religion and so
cial topics; lie must discuss agri
culture and anarchy aith equal
precision; he must lie fluent on
|eilvniics and politics; he must
write of the President and pump
kins; he must inintl men of high
degree and descend to things of
low estate; in short, he must be
an “ail round man.” It is this
training that makes the country
editor such a splendid manager
lor a melrojKililau daily. There
is no place except in a country
office, where such ail-round train-
{ing can l>e had.
! The position of a country edi-
| tor Is not held in the esteem it
should be. Country pa|iers are
not respected as they ought to be
If a family can afford only one pa
lter, lrt that lie the home |>a|ier,
for it concerns a family more to
know what is lieing tlonc in their
own county than it does tu know
the news of distant places. The
■ ity paper cannot give anil does
not pretend lo give, the local news
that its country readers must
have; but the good country pajier
thics give a very fair epitome of
the world's news.
No other publication can sup
ply the place of a good loeal paper.
If luitli cannot be retained—ifeilli-
er the city journal or the country
uewspa|ier must go, let il l>c the
former; for nothing can supply the
place of the good local newspaper.

Tbe tlirls Who Marry.
“I always read the wedding no
tices in Ihe paptrs,” said a Louis
ville citizen, “and I ain surprised
to observe what a large pro|mrtion
of the brides arc working girls. I
do not use the term ‘working girl’
in its commonly accepted sense,
namely, that of girls who work in
a factory, but I include ail those
who earn their own living, wlietlt
er it he hr school teaching, dress-
making.'working a typewriter or
the numerous other occupations
which arc now open to the femi
nine sex. According to my obser
vation these girls'marry clerks,
young doctors and lawyers, rail
road men and others, many of
wlio-zi subsequently reach tbe
greatest heights in business or
the profession. Many well lo do
young men wbo have eilheir in
herited nr. already accumulated
something of a Cvm»|>etency marry
girls who are accustomed to
work.”
“What conclusion, then, do you
deduct! from your observations?’’
“My conclusion is that the-aver
age young man of the period is a
much more sensible creature Ilian
we give him credit for being. He
has his fun with the society girls
and enjoys himself, but when the-
lime comes to select a wife, lie
chooses her like Mrs. Primrose
did her wedding gown—not for
gloss and fineness of finish, but
for qualities that last. Thus the
society girl gets left. All our ekl
maids were once lenders in society.
Tbe young men thought they were
not equal to the task of support
ing these maidens, or the latter
themselves were to high toned lo
accept any but n millionaire and ■
hence they still prefix ‘Miss’ to
thus names.”—Courier Journal.
