You will doubtless spend a pleasant evening if you attend the Baptist supper next Thursday night. Mrs. W. G. Hyde gave birth to an infant ou Friday which lived only twenty minutes. Browoeville does not seem to be pleased at the idea of the free delivery postal system which has ! beeu promised by Col. Oats, because it will abol- I ish the Lively office, and to this there is almost | universal opposition. Nothing invests a town , with so much importance as a postoffice.

The new weekly paper caited the Browneville Investigator made its first appoarance yesterday. It is ably edited, neatly printed, and full of in teresting matter. It will be devoted mainly to the interest of the laboring classes, and to these appeals strongly for its support. It will be pub lished every Saturday by J. A. Shaw & Co. at the low price of fl per annum. There is Still Life. The long, hot summer has taken its departure, though it died slowly and hard, but the ten weeks drouth continues despite several ineffec tual attempts at rain. Still, while vegetation has greatly suffered, and the dust has had a long reign, the water-courses have not dried up, nor the wells become so exhausted as in some former seasons. After all our Browneville friends have not suffered as other similar communities have done, but seem to be advancing slowly but surely in true pro gress. Most of the merchants are apparently doing a thrifty business, and here and there new houses are springing up, showing that develop ment in the suburbs has not yet reached its lim its. In mental and moral, as well us in material, progress, the watchword is “Upward and on ward.’’ A better town, a better class of citizens, a higher degree of intellectual and moral culture, which was the desire of the past, has gradually grown to fruition, and the citizens all are justly proud of this advance all along the line. There is still room for improvement in all these impor tant respects, but no doubt the future is full of Robert W. MacDouell, has been received at this office. It is published in the Spanish language, and is the organ of the mission of the M. E. Church, South, at that place, which is in charge of Rev. Robert W. MacDonell. Rev. Mr Mac* Donell is a son of Rev. Geo. G. N. MacDonell, of St. Luke church of thiscity, and a brother of A. H. MacDonell, Esq., of Savannah, whose mar riage to Miss Lillian B. Russell, of Augusta, was chronicled in our issue of Friday. He is a Geor gia boy, who gave up home, friends and the al lurements of life in his native state to be a volun tary exile among a semi-barbaric people, in order that they might have the benefits of the ever lasting gospel. He has denied himself the rich, earthly fruits of this life that he might help to scatter the leaves that grow for the healing of the nations. As we stated, the paper is published in Span ish, as it is spoken in Mexico, and so far as we can see the editorials, miscellany and locals are ( well written, well chosen and bright. Wo have | only glanced over the paper in a cursory way, be- j iiig pressed for time, but Rev. Robert W. Mac- | Donell’s name being attached as editor is a suffi cient guarantee that the paper is a good one. HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSE. J. W. English, G. M. & G. R. R.; W W. McMil- i lan, Oswichee; S.

Still further did lie carry his puritanical observance. Unnumbered times have I known him to receiveiinpor- lant letters so late on Saturday night that he would not brealf his fixed resolution never to use his eyes, which were very delicate, by artificial light; he would carry the letters in his pocket till Monday morning, then rise with the sun and read them. “In the winter of ’(11 ’02, while Jack sons forces were at Winchester, he sent a brigade to destroy the canal leading to Washington. The expedition proved a failure, and he attributed it in some meas ure to the fact that Sunday had been need lessly trespassed upon. So when a second expedition was planned he determined there should bo no Sunday breaking con nected with it that he could prevent. The advance wiin to he made early on Monday morning. On Saturday he ordered my husband (Col. Preston, at that time on his stair), to sec that the necessary powder was in readiness. The quartermaster could not find a sufficient quantity in Winches ter on Saturday, but during Sunday it. was procured. On Sunday evening the fact in some way got to Jackson’s ears.

Albany Special. There is a little circle of very intimate friends of the president, Secretary Man ning and Colonel Lamoat, who were great ly amused at the strife among the Wash-, ington correspondents a fortnight ago to I account for Mrs. Cleveland’s refusal to ac- j company her husband to Richmond. Among all the guesses not one was correct. ' The fact is that Mrs. Cleveland will remain i under her mother’s cure all the winter,and 1 she is under that care to-day. It was not deemed advisable for her to make the long journey over not the best railroad in the i country, and then hack again on tiie same day at the time of the Richmond trip. A trip to New York, with a chance to rest over night in the city, would not, lie con sidered unwise, because of the smoothness of the railroad riding, and t he president’s wife can make the journey during the win ter. Rut it is understood that in the main she is to remain quietly at home during the winter. There has only been a neces sity for the least solicitude about her during the past three months, and this will not be sustained, it is thought, longer than the 1 middle of April.

I The Chinese are the most interesting , people in New York, because, although | there are -1000 of them and they have been I washing our linen at the highest market ! rates for ten years, we know nothing about them. We don’t know how they live,what they eat, whut amusi ments they have or what they think. Wt know they are Chi nese uud that I ley work night and day like sailors, do good washing and never get into the police courts. Nothing more, j I know a little more, because I have intcr- | ebted myself in them for years, yet few others do. Jiut 1 was astonished the other I day to find that they are ,,mle as much at \ sea. with regard to ms. A Chinaman’s wife | is the authority for this statement. She in an Irishwoman, one of tiie hundred ! Irishwomen who have of late become the I wives, either actual or left handed, that these homeless men have shown a fancy I for uniting witii. And, by the way, China- j men make good husbands. Few women ' who have to slave at manual labor can lever hope to he better treated than are 1 those who marry Chinamen. Those singu- ! lar creatures make plenty of money, spend j nothing on them .elves, aud so idolize any j woman who will condescend to mate with 1 them that they find nothing too good for : them—dresses, furniture, money and love- I like treatment are fairly h apod upon I these women. A woman who would mar- | ry a Chinamen is certain to come from ; such a elOLs that the change i: 1 her condi tion makes her a queen in the eyes of her I former companions. Consequently, Chi- ! namen’s wives mul iply in number. Mrs. Biddy Cjoong iavIteit me to sit down ! in an upholstered chair in her front room I in Mott, street. Some say she ured to be a ' scrubwoman in tiie city hall. Some say she was not as good as that.

They think the statue ingines arc some kind of illviltry, and you couldn’t get a Chinaman near wan of them for love or money. They think the women have the upper hand of llie min and can do anything they please, ami that the laws in this country are for tiie min and not for the women. And, share, that’s why they all thry for toget n woman so as no trouble can come to them.

Mm 1 ni Iter Skies. Home years it makes very little differ ence what Htars are in tho sky in Novem ber, or whether there are any stars at all. This year, however, the month bids fair to belie its old reputation of “No sun, no moon. No stars, no anything; November.’’ Fow two days, at, least, the sun has been shining like October, the new moon lins made the early evening brilliant, and the stars have twinkled as brightly as if it were December. The sun doesn’t shine as much in No vember 11s in most other months, no mat ter bow clear the skies may be. Tiie sun does not get up now until 6:30, and sets be fore 5 o’clock in the afternoon. On the 30th he rises at 7:0-1 and sets at 1:34, making a day just nine hours long. The moon was new last Wednesday, but had nn chance to show herself until Sun day night, when her crescent was beyond the slender stage. The first quarter comes to-morrow about noon. Khe will he full at 1 o’clock of the 11th, will pass the third quarter in the afternoon of the 18t.h, and become new again on the 25th, Thanks giving Day. The first half of the month, therefore, will have pretty light evenings, even though the clouds should return, hut the latter half may have some very dark nights. The planets are not a show to any great extent, unless, indeed, one rises very early in the morning. Mars has grown small. Jupiter is too near the sun for convenient observation. Venus is on the sun’s wrong side. As for the rest, they are practically invisible, anyhow, except through a tel escope. Tiie fixed stars will do their best to make up for the absence of the planets. The summer constellations are now clean out of sight, and the eastern sky is flashing with the torchlights, so to say, of the com ing procession. Already the Pleiades are seen soon after sunset, and red Aldeharan is ubove the horizon at 7 o’clock. Later in the evening appears great Orion, with his attendant satellifes, Castor and Pollux and Procyon. Vega is in the northwest, and Capelin in the northeast. The Milky Way is swinging down below the zenith. In the zodiac Taurus is now of course the most prominent sign, hut Gemini, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius and Cuprieornus are all visible. .Soon great Sirius will appearand rule the night when the moon is gone.

Me was the son of a worthy Chicagoan, , and he had just returned from college. • The father was a brusque, matter oFfact i man, who had no liking for anything du- ' dish, and he noticed with sorrow that hit* son returned with bangs and various other insignia of dudedom. The old gentleman surveyed him erilieally when he appeared in the office, and then blurted out: | “Young man, you look like a fool.” Just at that moment, and before the , ■ young man had time to make a fitting re ply, a friend walked in : ‘‘ Why, hello George, have you rcturn- i ed?” he asked. “ Dear me, how much you I resemble your father.” j “ So ho has just been telling me,” replied i - the youth.
