“And what is the happy land?”
asked the Sunday-school superinten
dent.
The small boys on the front seat
kicked each other surreptiously and
viciousls, but nobody spoke until
little George said, with a tone mid
way between a snuff and a gurgle,
“He- aveen.,’
“Ah, that’s it; that’s it!’ said the
supeVitendent. “Little George knew
it. Itis heaven. And we all want to
go there. And now, children, can
you tell me what kind ot little boys
go there?”
George was emboldened oy prais •.
His head was dizzy with sucres-,
“Dead uns” he bawled as he rose in

The word “Margarett” signifies in
Greek a pearl, and in French a daisy,
says the Pitt-burg Dispatch. The
simplest of flov era and the most
recherche of gems bear one and the
same name. As've tread down the
“woe, modest, crimson-tipped” flow
eret which brightens and beautifies
our lawns, we may remembei that
Burns, with a poet's instinct, calls it
a “gem.” A daisy chain and a string
of peails have much in common.
Both are simple and yet elegant.
This union of simplicity and elegance,
when they - nieet in a female charac
ter, has a wonderful charm; and it is
remarkable that almost all the ladies
Margarett of history have been
women whom contemporaries and
posterity have alike delighted to
honor.
Under the new charter ot Dah
lonega whiskey sellers running the
blocdade anywhere within the cor
poration can be arrested and fined
by the mayor. Then so much of
this liquor selling here on Sunday
and most every other day will stop
to a great extent. Occasionally a
fellow will be put into the mayor’s
mill hopper where a few revolutions
will be given him. Then he will be
caught in Judge Estes’ who will give
him a few turns when he will shoo
out into Judge Newman’s mill, and
by tbe time this official discharges
the po< r crimual he won’t want to
hear liquor talked of any more than
the fellow who has just taken a
course in the Keeley Institute.—

The Monument to Robert FuHou.
The world at large, and even many
of those who are interested in the
history of mechanical engineering,
do not know that the body of the
great engineer, Robert Fulton, lies ui
Trinity churchyard in New York city,
being interred in the Livingston fam
ily vault. There is no mark or in
scription to indicate its resting place.
In veiw of the epoch-making charac
ter of the work of Fulton, and of his
eminence as an engineer, and of his
indomitable perseverance m the de
velopment of steam navigation in the
face «*f the greatest obstacles, it has
been deemed desirable that his tomb
should be marked by a suitable mon
ument. The Council of the Amer
ican Society of Mechaical Engineers
had the matter brought to its atten
tion at the Washington meeting last
may. The idea was warmly welcom
ed, and a committee was appointed
to investigate the proper method of
accomplishing the suitable marking of
the grave. The committee, has found
its efforts heartily met both by the
Tirnity corporation and by members
of the Fulton Family. The society
lias been assured that a suitable place
will be provided in Trinity church
j !y artt f or 8uc h a monument as may be
erec t ed , and that the remains of
Fulton will be removed to such a
place when the monument is ready.
!The Society possesses a number of
e raoriab-s>f Robert Fulton, includ
mg furniture, his portrait by Ins own
hand, drawings, autograph letters,
and other personal relics. Indeed,
it may be said that the Society is
Fulton’s literary heir. In veiw of
this face Hie action of the society is
most dignified and filtiug. A sub
scription is now being raised by it
and there is little question that suf
ficent funds will be obtained to erect
a most admirable memorial to mark
the place where lies the body of one
of the earliest and greatest of Ainer
ican engineers.
it is poetic justice that Fulton
should c mtxnie to rest in the spot
where he was interred. At the front
of the quaint old burying ground run
the cable cars, at the rear the electric
ca.sand the elevated road, and at
the foot of Rector Street, the other
two of the fastest vessels
on tbe bay make their landings.
Almost across tbe street is one of the
tallest buildings which has ever been
erected, and Wall Street commences
directly in front of the burying
ground. What more fitting spot
could be obtained for the resting
place of one whose activities contri
buted in sc large a degree to tbe
progress which is so much m evi

historic ol l church?
Story of a Slave.

by the chains of disea .e is the worst

that she could not turn over in bed alone.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our own Coirc -pondont:
lion J. D. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, who received the democrat
ic nomination for Speaker, after one
of the longest caucuses ever held,
got the vote of every democratic
member of the house to-day. He
was not. of course elected; the re
publicans having the most votes,
elected Representative Henderson
Speaker, and adopted the old Reed
rules, but Mr. Richardson will be
the demooiatic floor-leader for the
House during the bfe of the Fifty
sixth Congress. There may be more
showy and brilliant men on the dem
ocratic side of the House, but that l.o
wilj make a shrewd and safe leader
is conceded by all. Ills shrewdness
would have been shown by the man
ner in which he conducted his can -
paign for the nomination of Speaker,
had it not been well established long
ago. He received no wanner con
gratulations on his success than those
extended by his three rivals for the
honor.
Leaving Roberts and his polygamy
entirely out of the question, ihe po
sition taken by the democrats in the
first scrap of the cession, which oc
curred when objection was raised to
the swearing in of Roberts, that the
House had no right to go behind
the official returns and deny a man
a seat, when lie presents proper cre
dentials, v was right, buD-ighc can’s
win when a majority is etermined
to do the other thing.
Mr. McKinley’s long message,—
one of the longest ever sent to Con
gress— was not sent in to day, ow
ing to the early adjournment of
both Senate and House us a mark
of respect to the late Vice>President
Hobart. It w>!l go in to morrow,
and then the real business of the
session will begin The democrats
were never more egresaive mood,
and “hot times” are ahead for the
republican majonty in both Senate
and House.
The attention of Senators is being
called to the fact that Gov. Store
had no constitution'll right to ap
point Mr. Qnry to the Senate, after
the legislature adjourned, without
electing bis f* succes or. The State
Constitution of Pennsylvania ex
press! y provides that vacancies in
the U. S. Senate shall only be lilted ;
by the legislature. A number of in- !
fluential Pennsylvanians are 111 j
Washington, working against the j
seating of Quay on personal grounds,
against both precedent and the law.
One of those is ex-Representative|
Bowden, who said on the subject:
“The question should not be made a
pa,rtisian one, but each .Senator, re
!
gardless of his politics or his person- j
al friendship for Mr. Quay, should
vote as a conscientious, impartial and (
upright judge, and decided it accord-1
ing to its merits and the dictates of i
his own conscience, under Ins official
oath. If this he done, there can be
no question of the result. Gov. j
Stone’s unlawful, appointment lias i
not a single merit to support it.”
That our pension laws are in need j
of revision, everybody knows, but I
when they will get it, or whether
the revision will make them better ! I
or worse, is a horse of another color, j
The Secretary and Assistant Secre
tary of the Interior, and the Commis
sioner and Assistant Commissioner
No. 14.
of Pensions, have testified before a
sub committee, of the Senate' Com
mittee on Pensions, that a revision -
of the laws should be made, and
recommended that it be done by a
iion-partiuian commission. A Na
tional Commission that is really non
par! isan, would be a rarity, indeed,
although there are many so-called.
Representative Smith, of Ivy., who
was recently acting Chairman of the
Kentucky Democratic State Com
mittee, thinks the legal contest in
that stale, depends upon the view
the court of Appeals takes of tissue
ballots. He thinks those ballots
were illegal, and knows that they
were used extensively in the repub
bean border counties, to make sure
1
fliat the “floaters'’ voted as they
were paid to vo'e. He says if the
tissue ballots are thrown out as il
legal, Goebel wid have a plurality of
from 2,000 to 10,00(1. Mi. Smith
says lie doesn’t boliev. there will be
any trouble in the Sttte, no matter
what the final decision may be.
Mr. McKinley is in somewhat dis
agreeable prcdieiinenf, by reason of
Ins desire to push bis friend, and
old-family physician, Gen. Leonaid
Wood, ahead in the regular army,
lie told Gen. Wood, some months
ago, that be intended making him a
Brigadier General in. the regular
army, and it leaked out. There
was a flood of protest from the
Mends of the due officers—many of.
them in/Iiieionil republicans •—who
objected to hiving them jumped by
a staff surgeon, with the rank of
Captain. Mr. McKinley then tried
to satisfy Gen Wood with something
else, but he wouldn’t have it that
way, preferring to stand p it on tlio
original promise. This was the
principal reason for Gen. Wood be
ing ordered to Washington at this
time, arid not the withdrawal of
troops from lus district in Cuba, as
announced.
Just before' r<aching Rockhill,
S. C., the Southern’s train Tom
Charlotte crosses the Catawba river
over a trestle fitly feet above tbe

of bundles, supposed to he North

and stepned off. lie thought he wa«
