THE WOMAN OF THE TWEN
TIETH CENTURY.
*• I saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit, yet a woman too!
Her honsehc id motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty,
A countenance In which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet,
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature’s daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
I’raise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and
smiles.”
In portraying the woman of the fu
ture, one is apt to take either a pessi
mistic view of her or to picture a per
fect creature. Eithei view of the sub
ject would be incorrect; but, judging
from the advancement which she has
made recently, it is reasonable to infer
that the woman of the 20th century
will be a decided improvement on the
woman of the 19th oentury—physic
ally, mentally, and morally.
Formerly it was not considered ne
cessary for a woman to give much at
tention to her physical development
and she is only beginning to see the ne
cessity of it now; but ere the 20th cen
tury shall have airived we shall indeed
have a grand physical woman. Not a
Venus in beauty of face or symmetry
oi form perhaps, but at least a healthy,
hesriy, happy maiden with roses in her
cheeks, light in her eyes, and a spring
and elasticity in her walk. But what
shall we say of the mental and moral
characteristics cf the coming woman?
What a revelation she would be to some
of the light-headed butterflies of to
day 1 A woman with a purpose in life,
I a plan to execute, a mission to perform,
and having strength, determination,
and bravery sufficient to enable her to
I accomplish her task. Not what is call-
| ed a “strong-minded” woman by any
means, only brave-hearted, and one
who realizes that: “Tobe womanly is
I the greatest charm of woman,” and
I since ehc does realize this great truth
will be content with her sphere in life
I and not try to crowd man cut of bis.
Since woman tempted man to Bin, it
will be her task to lead bin. back to God.
This, we fear, she is not doiDguow, but
I she will do so in that future time when

Should this be done, when the bill

OVER THE TEA CUPS.
Several evenings ago we entered the
| brilliantly illuminated dining room-of
the Lucy Cobb, fully appreciating our
rare privilege of spending an hour or
| two in suoh an intellectual company.
We determined to listen well and derive
as P'uch benefit as possible from the
| conversation of our literary hostess, and
her faithful followers.
Even Minerva, herself, would have
deigned to pause and listen to the wis
dom, and woi derful knowledge with
which her youthful imitators discussed
the most, important subjects of the day.
The Tariff, the subject over which the
brightest and wittiest brains of America
have puzzled for the last few months,
was discussed with great animation.
Sitting near us a violet-eyed little
beauty was expatiating on the many
bcntlits of a Low Tariff, ouposite her
was a dark-eyed girl, quite her match
in beauty, who was defending nobly the
interests of High Tariff.
Quite interested were we to know
[what these youthful politicians conld
nest by knew about these two great
tiffing points of American politics.
The sweet advocate of Low Tariff, be-
Iing asked her reasons for being a Dem-
joc. at was the first speaker.—“First, and
■above all reasons,” began she in her
Isobool girlish fashion, “I am a Demo-
jerat because my father believes in Low
[Tariff, snd that for me is a strong rea
son for its being right.” “Oh! I have
other and much stronger arguments^
|eaid she, perceiving a sarcastic smile on
lecouuteuanoe of her neighbor.. “By
avingaLow Tariff things could be
brought into our coantry so much
cheaper that our merchants could sell
bem to us at low prices, and the nnm-
er of our poor people wonld be touch
tned,for then even the poorest could
|ifford to buy enough to supply their
accessary wants. Then oqk farmers
auld send their children to-Aihool, for
lucation would be less expensive.
Then, too, we could have our Normal

A CHILD’S FAITH.
The sweetest thing on earth is the faith
of s little child. Who of ns has r.ot been
comforted and made bet’er and had our
own faith b'Nhtened up through this in
nocent trust? Did you ever study cheely
the absolute faith a child has in G»d and
the power of the unseen? A little child
taught his prigreis and told of God at ol
age when be' cannot understand clear'd,
but he has faith iu those who teach b m
and t trough that faith is a supreme betuv
Tt.ii faith imparled iu the little heart i-
greater than can ever cune to the mature
heart, and oftimesils strength and peculi
AMliesate nevei realized by those who
have taught it.

His mother was sitiiDg on the piazza of
her country home. He hail been running
around the yard, pickiug flowers as they
wonld fall from the tree. Ha assisted the
apples to tall by occasionally throwing
stick or a stone at the tree. She finally
heard him say:
“Dj away, D.id; do awayl D .n’t bod

And then he threw another stick. That
one failed to bring down an apple. As he
raised his hand and took aim again be
said: “Do away, I siy! Tan’t ’oo wait a
njinuuf”
His mother called him to ht-r and said:
"Baby, to whom were you talking?”
“Dod,” he replied in the most matter of
fact tone.
‘God,” said the shocked mother. “Why,
my child where was he?”
“He was whispering to me.”
“What did he say?”
“Be said ‘Baby! babyl don’t frow stones
’oo will hit the poor little biidies.’ ”
A-d this mother had nothing to 6ay.
Faiih and conscience were taking care of
the little soul and teaching their lesson bet

“How will you get the note to God then?”
“O, Dod will send some dood angel down

He scratched something on his paper,

been told their is dne them from the
federal government. When questioned,
they say that a man claiming to be an
agent of the United States government
has collected from them sums ranging
from 50 cents to $5 for enrolling them
on the government pension list. He
tells them that the government is pre
pared to pay through the United States
marshals pensions of $'200 to $300 to all
ex-slaves and it is necessary to have
their names. Iu this way he has vie
timized hr.jdreds of ignorant negroes

Memphis, Dec. 10.—Two conflicting
stories have reached this city relative
to the mob that was after tha son of
Congressman Money, who killed E. E.

the other that the mob wont to .Wood-

Wood*took is nearer Greenwood than is
Carrollton, and when the mob left Car

on account of Money being released on
