"THE OLD MAN." GRAND FATHER'S ADVICE. Never Speak In a Disrespectful . Manner of Your Father. Ichabod, my boy, methought I heard you speak of your father this morning as "the old man." You are 18 years of age, are you not ? Just so. That is the age when callow youth has its first attack of biszhead. You imas gine at this moment that you know it all. I observed from the cut of your trousers, the angle of your hat, the flavor of your breath, the style of your toothpick shoes, and the swag ger of your walk, that you are stuck on yourself. This is an error of youth which your uncle can overlook ; but it pains him m I sorely to near you speaic in terms of disrespect of one you should never mention save by the sacred name of "father." He may not be up in your style in the modern art of making a fool of himself, but ten to one he for gets more in a week than you will ever know. He may not enjoy smoking gutter snipes chopped fine and inclosed in del icate tissue paper, but he has borne a good many hard knocks for your sake, and is entitled to all the deference your shallow brain can muster. By and by after you are through knowing it all and begin to learn some thing, you will be ashamed to look in a glass and wonder where the foolkiller kept himself when you were ripe for the sacrifice. And when the "old man" grows tired of the journey and stops to rest, and -you fold li is hands across his bosom and take a last look at a face that has grown beautiful in death, you will feel a sting of regret that you ever spoke of him in so grossly dis respectful manuer ; and when other sprouts of imbecility use the language that so delighted ou in the genimical period of manhood, you will take chasing them with a thick stick and crushing their skulls to see if there is any brain tissue in the inside.

The wide range of the circu lations of American magazines and the manner in whtchthey penetrate the larthest points of the earth found new evidence last week, when a single list of five hundred subset iptious to The Ladies' Home jfournal was received by that magazine from Bulgaria, the list being headed by the name of Her Royal High ness, the Princess Maria Louise. George Kennan, the Siberian traveler, said that he found this magazine in homes on the steppes of Siberia, while Peary met with it in Greenland, It is an inter esting fact th it TJie Ladies Home Journal has subscriptions in fifty-nine of the generally accep ted civilized nations of the earth. Luring the single month of December last, for instance, it received subscriptions from Syria, Japan, Uruguay, Turkey, Congo Free State, Transvaal, Liberia, Natal, Sierra Leone, Zululand, Bavaria, Bahamas, Bur mah, Brazil, Bohemia, Ca nary Islands, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, San Salvador.

The Smith's Possibilities. THE POPULATION OF SPAIN. Time Well Spent. I desire to attest to the merits of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as one of the mqst valuable and market. It broke an exceeding dangerous couh for me in 34 hours, and in gratitude therefor, I desire to inform you that I will never be without it, and you should feel proud of the high esteem in which your Remedies are held by people in general. It is the one remedy among ten thousand. Success to it. O. R. Downey, Editor Democrat, Albion, Ind. For sale by W. W. Griggs & Son. It is one of those things which no man can rightly measure the possibilities of the South. The development of the indus trial resources of this section of the country continues to attract attention, and there seems to be no limit to the predictions of our surcefs by some of the Western! journals who are favorable to us box instance, the Detroit Free Press, in commenting upon the condition which prevail in the Southern country, says that "the industrial conditions in the Uni ted States are in a state of re adjustment, the consequences which are destined to be far reaching. One needs but to contrast the manufacturing de pression which prevails in New England with the awakemng activity of the South to be con vinced that important changes are going on which may trans fer the sceptre of productive en terprise from the banks of-New England's swift flowing streams to the heart of Dixie. Thse roseate hues ot the com ing industrial greatness of the South may perhaps be too high ly painted by the Southern wri ters and speakers, bilt there is everything to encourage the be lief that great progress in man ufacturing is scon to be accom plished south of Mason's and Dixon's line. The new development of the South must bring with it im portant changes which are sure to be felt sooner or later in the industrial and political life of the whole country. Mauufao turing, when carried on profitf oly, brings general prosperity affecting favorable agricultural, mercantile and transportation interests, and greatly increasing the wealth, population and in fluence of the whole section where it exists. If the South becomes a manufacturing cen tre it will also become a politi cal power, acuated Ly different principles from the doctrines which characterize the agricul-. tural people of the ante-bellum South. The changing indus trial conditions are certain to bring new political ideas and new alignment of parties in the South. Then, there is the question of general interest, how will the new manufacturing South affect the prospeeity of iis Northern and Western coniDetitors ? Will Isiew nnglauci Have to give up her extensive cotton industry, on account of the ru nous com petition of lie r Southern rivals? Will the iron and steel mills of the North be seriously affected by the competition of Birmings ham and Atlanta ? Will the newly opened mines of the South, the growing commerce of its ports, the development of its railroad systems and water routes work lasting injury to Northern and Western compete ltors ? The pessimist may shake his had in doubt at the prospect which Southern competition may bring to many branches of Northern industry, but there is far more reason for optimism in the outlook than for pessimism The problems of the future will largely bring their own solu tion. With the increase of manufactured produces which the new South will create, there will be a very consi ierablf in crease in the home m trket. coa sequent upon a larger population with greater wants and greater means for supplying its wants." Certainly the continual devel opment of the South will bring with it important changes, but none that will not be an advan tage to this section. In the "readjustment of the conditions of the United States, ' as our contemporary is pleased to style them, the greater share will fall to the Southern country. This is destiny. AM A . - - . A . 1.
