The people who can best bo relied upon
to reduce the general average of capital
introdueed by immigrants are the Slavon
ians and Polanders. A great many of
them have to lie helped with small sums
to get them away to places in the West
when they wish to settle. The Holland
ers, on the other hand, frugal, industri
ous and clean, come pretty well provid
ed with money, as a rule, and are, apart
from c msiilerations of jiersonul beauty,
among the pleasantest to look at. One
of the most curious distinctive.peculiari

strange sort of helmet, made of brass,

the wearer, filagree work or exquisitely
chased—a thin sheet of metal, closely

Claims to Friendship,
Perhaps one reason that we complain
so bitterly of the fickleness of friends
lies in the fact that wo confound ac
quaintanceship with friendship. It is a
strong attribute of tho mind to hope
that which it wishes; aud in no partic
ular is it shown more strongly than in
estimating by anticipation the friendly
feelings toward us of those to whom wo
may happen to known. This great
error will usually be found to increase
in the sumo ratio os tho particular per
son whose friendly feeling wo wiuh to
challenge is more or less in a higher
grade of society than ourselves, and
whose means, interest or power is great
er than our own. We are, in sueli eases,
apt to lay claims to acts of friendship
from tie s> with whom wo could only at
lies) l east an acquaintance. Rut the
error goes much farther even than this ;
for wo frequently make the request, not
in reference to our own position, hilt to
the -pi>\vr of those from whom we so
licit or expect a friendly part. Wo for
get that we have no earthly claim upon
them ; no reason to expect tho slightest
sacrifice of their time, interest or even
amusement. We think only of our own
wishes. What is the consequence? ft
will be fouud in the loss of the acquaint
ance e>f someone whoso notice was nat
tering ; one who felt toward us as much
friendly feeling as we had any right to
expect, and who would have been dis
posed to award to us as much courtesy
and attention, or, one occasion, as
much service, as we had any grounds
for anticipating. From our own folty,
his visits now grow few and far between,
and, from a well-grounded suspicion ot
a repetition of similar arrogant requests,
they gradually cease altogether. \V<
have chilled what friendly feeling did
exist toward us by our own folly.
The Mind Survives the Roily,
I scarcely know how it is, but tlio
deaths of children seem to mo always
loss premature than those of older per-
Boiis. Not that they are in fact so, but
ft is because they themselves have little
or no relation to time or maturity.
Life seems a race which they have yet
to run entirely. They have imulo no
progress toward the goal. They are born
—nothing further. But it seems hard
when a man has toiled high up tho steep
hill of knowledge, that ho should bo
cast, like Sisyphus, downward in a mo
ment. That ho who has worn the day
and wasted the night in gathering tho
gold of science, should be—with all the
wealth of learning, all its accumulations
—made bankrupt at onee. Wlmt be
comes of all the riches of the soul, tlio
piles and pyramids of precious thoughts
which men heap together? Where are
Slink espearo’s imagination. Bacon’s
learning, Galileo's dream? Where is the
sweet fancy of Sidney, the airy spirit of
Fletcher, and Milton’s thought severe ?
Mel hinks such tilings should not die and
dissipate, when a hair cun live for cen
turies and a brick of Egypt will last three
thousand years! lam content to be
lieve that the heart of man survives—
somewhere or other—his clay .•—Barry

It room Corn.
Broom corn was introduced into this
country bv Dr. Franklin. He saw jt
seed on a broom, planted it, and the
seeds from this single plant were the
beginning of broom corn as an American
agricultural product. The credit of the
hroom-making industry is due to the
Shakers, who, raising the plants in their
gardens, manufactured the brooms and
sold them for 50 cents, or more, upioce.
Immediately after the war, so great was
the profit from its cultivation, that it
was soon overdone, and the many who
had rushed into the business were soon
discouraged and abandoned it Now it
is cultivated in all parts of the oountrv.

gummy: "Finally, my ownest own,

your delects than for your moral anili

England’s Volunteer Service.
A military writer in the United Serv
ice ilaiexzine, in criticising the volun
teer service of England, conveys some
interesting information concerning that
branch of England’s power which is not
generally known. The organization of
the volunteer forces was tD result of a
fear of French invasion in 1859, when
the relations between the two Powers
were strained to that point that war
seemed inevitable. It w-as in November
of tiiat the Government gave
its consent for the formation of a volun
teer army, and in a few days nearly a
hundred thousand men were under arms,
and were speedily drilled.’ Since that
time the force has grown rapidly, fu a
year it swelled to 177,Of)!) men, and now
there are 200,000 well-drilled men in the
volunteer ranks, who, by regular taigi-t
service, have become experienced and
skillful marksmen. According to the
writer to whom we have referred, the
Government supplies each battalion with
an Adjutant, Sergeat Major, Drill In
spector, Musketry lusjiector, anil Arm
orer, all of whom are regnlarn. They
are inspected yearly by regular officers,
anil upon certificates each battalion re
ceives jss for ever man who is up in
drill, and ten shillings for each extra
efficient, the test being his marksman
ship. All the other expenses are met by
the volunteers themselves. They pay
for their uniforms and for their ammuni
tion, except the conventional sixty
rounds of ball cartridge for target prac
tice, as well as for all their incidental
expenses. Probably $1,000,000 will
cover the entire expense of tho Govern
ment for its home army of 200,000 men,
which answers to the levies mode by
conscription on the continent ami OHOohj
them in soldiership, because they have
the advantage of drill and a certain
amount of Government inspection under
the supervision of regular officers. They
have never yet been called into active
service, and probably never will, except
in case of invasion, which is a very dis
tant contingency, when they would be
utilized as a home guard behind the
ranks of the regular army. The writer
in question does not place a very high
estimate upon their efficiency, for the
reason that their discipline is not kept
up, and they are crude and raw, but the
same objection might have been urged
against our own volunteers at the out
break of the War of the llelielliou. It
does not take very long to mold men into
shape and tench them to fight who are
Jiatriotic and in earnest. It was not very
ong before our volunteers went into
battle with all the steadiness of regulars.
There is no reason to suppose that Eng
lish courage is inferior to our -own.—

Tlie Morals of Art.
The artists who supplied tho loading
illustrated London journals with what
purported tj bn faithful representations
of tho interior of Blade’s school of art
have greatly fluttered the matrons of
Miii/fair and /tclaravia. With a painful
accuracy of detail, the “studies from the
nude” have been delineated, and the
contiguity of the students, male and fe
male, is only too apparent. “To the
pure nil tilings are pure.” I grant the
platitude, and to the true art-student
real talent (coupled with ambition) looks
only for the ideal iu what to an outsider
may appear crudely material. But
among the earnest disciples of art may
bo found numbers of dilettante dabblers,
who, at the ago when parental solicitude
is most necessary, on the pica that they
oan wield a pencil, arc permitted, at tho
age of 15 or 10, to mix with youths and
men of uncertain rank, and discuss (lot
us presume artistically) tho anatomical
proportions of a nude statue or a scuntilv
draued model. It doubtless sounds
highly classical to talk of tho “antique,”
but to pure men and women tho idea of
chits of children studying from uudraped
statues is simply repellent, It is a fact
that about a year ago a proposal was set
on foot hy certain female students that
nude models (female) should ho supplied
to tho art classes. An animated discus
sion ou the subject ensued, and many
Indies left. Certain/orf v.tprils, how
ever, emigrated to Paris, where they
study from the nude to their heart's
desire. Ju the meanwhile, Parliament,
which is so solicitous for the welfare and
morality of the rising generation, should
enact n law regulating the admission of
aspirants into schools of art, totally dis
allowing the “mixed” classes.— Lowion

Mitigating Circumstances.
Uncle Mose was up before the Galves
ton Recorder yesterday for giving his
sou, Abe Linkum, an unmerciful beat
ing. As Old Mose is notorious for be
ing a quiet, kind-hearted man, tho Re
corder was anxious to know what the
provocation was, and he put that ques
tion direct.
“ De troof am jest as I am guine ter

“Ican't imagine,” replied tho -Re

“Well, salt, he says: ‘Daddy, I don’t

A Slrango Tradition.
The Seminole Indians have a singular
tradition regarding the white man’s ori
gin and superiority. They say when the
Great Spirit made tlm earth lie also
created throe men, all of whom were
fair-complexioned. lie thou led them to
a small lake aud bade them jump in.
One immediately obeyed the command
and came out purer aud fairer than be
fore ; the second hesitated awhile, by
which time tho water became muddled,
and, when he came up, he was copper
colored ; the third did not leap until tlio
water became black with mud, and he
came out with his own color. After this
the Great Spirit laid liefore them three
sealed packages, and gave the black
man his first choice, so that he might
have a chance to amend his former mis
fortune. He closely examined each pack
age, and, having felt their weight, chose
the heaviest in preference to the rest,
believing it to lie the best and most val
uable. The copper-colored mail chose
the next heaviest, leaving the white man
the lightest. When the packages were
opened, the first contained spades, hoes
and other implements of labor, and the
second unfolded fishing-tackle, and
hunting and warlike weapons; the third
gave the white man pens, ink and paper
—the means of mental improvement, the
social ink of humanity, the foundation
of the white man’s superiority.

After Emile Zola.
Camille was a sernb girl at Willard's.
She loved Pierre, a young Republican
who blacked the boots of the guests.
Pierre did not know this. Often she
stood at the head of the back stairs and
watched him scraping the mud from the
shoes and humming softly to himself the
song that he had learned when a boy.
There was no hydrant in the little hall
way where Pierre had his office, and
often when the rash of travelers was
great, Pierre would have hard work to
furnish enough saliva to properly moisten
the blacking. At these times, when he
had gone to lxirrow a eliew of tobacco
from Ned Harris, the night clerk, Camille
would run quickly down stairs and spit
in the blacking-box. “It will save
Pierre's lungs,” she would say to her
self, “and perhaps some day he will
know of my love. ” Then she would gc
back to her scrubbing again. Always
she thought of Pierre. Like Heloise,
her love brought misfortune. One day
she was at worn in the fourth story of
the hotel cleaning a window-sill. Un
consciously she kept scrubbing away at
the same place. Lizette, the boas
chambermaid, came along. She did not
like Camille, because the latter had
once charged her with wearing striped
stockings after they had gone out of
fashion.
•“What are you doing?” said Lizette.
“I am scrubbing,” answered Camille.
“I should remark,” said Lizette, with
a brutish laugh.
“See! you have worn the paint off that
window-sill. What will Mr. Cooke
say when I tell him of this?” Then she
passed.
A big tear slowly rolled down Camille’s
no—, “ii On.'i nave ter pay ror iminflhg
that wiuilow-sill,” she said sadly, “and
it will take half my salary. Pierre is
too proud to marry a penniless girl. Oh,
how I suffer!”
Hlie was sadly silent all day, and
seemed in a bewildered state, even de
clining to look at a fashion magazine
which Filina, a second-floor chamber
maid, who loved Camille dearly, had
found in one of tho boarder’s rooms.
The next morning Camille was at the
head of tho back stairs looking at Pierre
as ho cleaned the boots. Presently,
Lizette came into the hall-way where he
was seated and liegau talking to him.
Camille leaned eagerly over tho banis
ters to catch their words, but could heal
nothing but a confused murmur. I’res
sontly, I’ierro became demonstrative and
attempted to kiss Lizette. Hhe strug
gled coyly for a little while, lmt at last
became passive. .Inst ns his lips were
about to touch hers something came
swiftly through tho air aud felled them
to tho floor.
Camille had fallen ovor the banisters.
She was mashed.
Under the Snow.
The remarkable case of Elizabeth
Woodcock, who was buried under the
snow, is especially striking. In tho
winter of 1709 she was returning on
horseback from Cambridge, ling., to her
home in a neighboring village, and, hav
ing dismounted for a few minutes, the
hoise ran away from her. At 7 o’clock
on a winter evening she snt down under
a thicket, cold, tired aud disheartened.
Hnow came on; she was too weak to rise,
and the consequence was that by morn
ing tlie snow hail heaped around her to
u height of two feet above her head as
she sat. .She had strength enough to
thrust a twig, witli her handkerchief at
the top of it, through the snow, to serve
as a signal, and to admit a little day
light. Torpor supervened, and she knew
little nioro of what passed around her.
Night succeeded day, and day again
broke, but there she remained, motiou
loss and foodless. Not senseless, how-
ever, for she could hear cliuroli bells and
village sounds—nay, evon the voices and
conversation of some of her neighbors.
Four wliolo days she thus remained, one
single pinch of snuff being her only sub
stitute for food during this time, aud
even this she found had lost its pungen
cy. Ou the fifth day a thaw commenced,
and then she suffered greatly, but still
without means to extricate herself. It
was not until the eighth day that tlio
handkerchief was espied hy a villager,
who, with many others, had long been
seeking for her. Stooping down, he
said :
“ Aro you there, Elizabeth Wood
cock ?’’ '
She had strength enough to reply,
faintly:
“ Dear John Stittlo, I know your
voice. For God’s sake, help mo out.”
She died übout half a year afterward,
through niismauagement of frost-bitten
toes; but it was fully admitted that no
one, unless eased in snow, could have
lived out those eight days aud nights in
such a place without food.
A Diamond Sold for Ten Rents,
In 1811 Godfrey Luther and his son
were engaged fn gold niiniiigon Wilson’s
branch, in what is now Wilson’s district
of this county. Their appliances were
of the rudest kind, consisting of sluice
and ritle boxes and the traditional mill
er’s pan. On one occasion, Col. John
E. ltodwiue, thou a lad of about Id, was
sent by liis father to Mr. Luther’s works
to see him about some business matter.
While there tlio elder Luther and an
other gentleman walked off some little
distance, and he continued in conver
sation with the young man, who was
“ panning out ’ some earth and show
ing ltodwiue tho gold. In one pan ho
noticed a:i exceedingly lieautifnl pebble,
and called Mr. Ivetlwine’s intention to it
and while they were admiring it the
other gentlemen returned, and they also
noticed its beauty. The gentleman,
without any idea of its value, remarked
to the boy, “I’ll give you a dime for it.”
“All right,” said he, aud accepted it
gladly. Rome time afterward the gentle
man was in Gainesville and showed the
stone (to Dr. Daniel. That gentleman
behoved it to boa diamond, blit finally
paid the gentleman S3O for it and took
the risk. He sent it London, there
being at that time no diamond cutters in
the United States, where experts pro
nounced it a diamond of the first water,
and he received for it S3OO. It was
afterward rumored that it sold for a
much larger sum than this, but nothing
is known positively of its history be
yond its sale in Loudon. —Gainesville

who hail promised to marry her. Some
time afterward he called and found tier
washing clothes in the garden, near
well. They hail been chatting a while,
when suddenly the girl, ns if bv acci
dent, dropped a cloth into the well, and
exhibited great grief over the loss of it.
Her companion volunteered to lean over
in the well and fish the garment out, but
while he was so engaged the girl caught
him by the legs and threw him in. In
reply to his cries, she told him if he
would promise to marry her she would
poll Kim out. He promised, but no
tooner was he out titan he brought suit
against her for trying to murder him.
Then at last ha withdraw it and married
her. He came to the conclusion that
he hod met his match.

The New York Timet has a pleasant
satire about the Ufa of street car drivers
who work seventeen Lours a day and
then complain that they have only seven
left in which to eat, sleep and play with
their babies. The trouble- with the
streetecar driver is, it says, that he does
notr live in a distant Stats and is not
picturesque romantic like a sailor.
U he were "’he would get sympathy
enough. They ought to he driving ears
in South Carolina. Continues the
Timet: I
“We could then disclaim eloquently
concerning \he separation of families
caused by th hellish system which for
bids the t'ath r to see his children except
when they ire asleep. We could de
nounce the oarbarism which compels
men to work : or seventeen hours daily,
exposed to ran and snow, and frozen by
the bitter col of mid?winter nights. We
should find t }sy to induce religious
bodies to pa i resolutions condemning
the wickedui ;3 of the Charleston car
companies, Jiicli forbid their slaves to
attend any religious services on Sun
day or any oilier, day. It wonld be in
vain for the übariestoiiians to reply that
their car driwrs are not slaves, and that
they arc freak) leave the service of the
companies flit starve to death at any
moment. W’t should reply that' such
was the f choice given to the
slaves of VirJUia, who could at anytime
run away and hide themselves in the
Dismal Swamp.'where they could either
starve or permit themselves to be shot
by slave-hunters. No shallow sophistries
as to the right- of car companies to buy
lalair at the. lowest market rates could
irm.i-u- w/eiSt Wo would form our
“Anti-car Company" societies, and
eloquent professional orators would go
about the country stirring up the people
to a proper state of indignation against
the oppressors of tho Charleston car
drivers. But Low can we feel any indig
nation concerning the treatment of a
class of men who live among us and
suffer under (Mr very eyes? Clearly the
thing is impossible, aud the sooner our
car drivers recognize their great mistake
in not being South Carolinians or Louis
ianians the better. ”
There is lots of philosophy as well as
wit in this view which the Timet takes
of the situation. Men are prone to look
at tho evils which are at a distance
through a telescope. But when they
inspect those under their feet thoy turn
the instrument the other end to, making
the objects near them appear small and
insignificant ildeed.
The Thifi Divides Ihe Pork,
Tho Louisvjlle Courier-Journal, in
giving some reminiscences of an old blind
negro man iu that city, makes him relate
the following qf one of his former mas
ters : “ He waia sneakin' man, though,”
to;bmied Eli, jis his enthusiasm began
to carry him aifay. “Ho war de most

Kvils Among Yeung Men.
Of all the evils prevalent nmottg*k>nug
men, we know of uone more blighting iu
its moral effects than to speak lightly of
tho virtues of a woman. Nor is there
nuytliing in which youug men are so
thoroughly mistaken as to tho low esti
mate they form as to tho integrity of
women. Not of their own mothers
and sisters, but of others, who, they for
get, are somebody else’s mothers aud
sisters.
Asa rule, no person who surrenders to
this baser habit is to be trusted with an
enterprise requiring iutegrity of charac
ter. Plain words should bo spoken on
this subject, for the evil is a genera! one
aud deep rooted. If young men are
some times thrown into the society of
thoughtless and depraved women, they
have no more right to measure all other
women by w hat they see of these than
they have to estimate the character ot
honest and respectable citizens by the
developments of crime in our police
courts. Let young men remember that
tlieir chief happiness in life depends
upon utter faith iu wouieu. No worldly
wisdom, no misanthropic philosophy, nc
generalization can weaken truth. It
stands like the record of itself—for it is
nothing less hum this—and should put
an everlasting seal upon the lips that are
wont to speak slightly of women,—

VVhal Is a Cold I
In the first place, we must be para
doxical, and’ affirm tlmt it is not a cold
nt all. It is rather a heat, if I might
so express myself—that is, it is a form
of fever, but, of course, of a very mild
type, when it is uncomplicated by other
diseases. It is certainly, in the ma
jority of instances, due to the effects of
cold playing upon some portion of the
body, and reacting upon the mucous
membrane through the intervention of
tlie nervous apparatus. What is called
a cold, then, is in reality a fever; aud
though, in the majority of instances, it
is of such a trivial nature as to necessi
tate few precautions being taken during
its attack, yet in some cases it rune a
most acute course, and may be followed
by great prostration. Even when the
premonitory symptoms of a oold ore de
veloping themselves—when, for exam
ple, what a medical man calls a rigor,
or, os it is popularly designated, a shiv
ering is felt, when we would naturally
suppose that the animal temperature is
below par, It is at that very moment
higher than the normal; thus Bhowing the
onset of fever.— Chambers’ Journal.

Yvltb that distressing malady, the pile*, and after
many ineffectual trials of the remedies in common
use, I commenced a short time ago to use your File
Ointment. I experienced immediate relief. From
the relief experienced tn my case, as well as from
the reputation so rapidly acquired hy your Ointment
in this vicinity, I have no hesitation in expressing
the opinion that it is the most efficient remedy for
piles ever invented. O. a. BULL,

This is to certify that I used Pryor’s Ointment
na case of severe born, and that in a very few
Jays it was entirely relieved of all inflammation,
tnd healed rapidly. After the first application of
the Ointment, the patient suffered no pain what
ever. R. J. MORGAN, LaGrauge, Ga.
By the advice of Mr. Wynn, I used your Pile
Ointment on a servant girl who had been suffer
ing for eight years with a most aggravated case of
piles. She improved from the very first day’s use
of your Ointment, and before using the box she
was entirely recovered. G. W. FOSTER,

Stories of Andrew Jackson.
When Jackson was President, Jimmy
O'Neill, the Irish doorkeeper of the
Whits House, was a marked character.
He had his foibles, which often offended
the fastidiousness of the President’s
nephew and Secretary, Maj. Donolson,
who caused his dismissal on an average
of about once a week. But on appeal
to the higher court the verdict was al
ways reversed by the good nature of the
good old General. Once, however, Jim
my was guilty of some flagrant
offense, and, being summoned before
the President himself, was thus
addressed: “Jimmy, I have borne
with you for years in spite of all com
plaints ; bat this goes beyond my pow
ers of endurance.” “And do you be
lieve the story ? ” asked Jimmy. “Cer
tainly,” answered ‘.he General : “I hare
just heard it from two Senators.”
“Faith,” retorted Jimmy, “if I be
lieved all that twenty Senators say
about you, it’s little I’d think you was
fit to be President,” “ Pshaw, Jimmy,”
concluded the General, *‘ clear out, and
go back to your duty, but be more care
ful hereafter.” Jimmv not only ra
tioned his place to the close of Jaclsson’s
Presidential term, but accompanied bim
back to the Hermitage, and was with
him to the day of his death.
Gen. Jackson had very little love or
taste for poetry, his favonte author be
ing Dr. Isaac Watts, from whose
“ Psalms and Hymns ” he used to make
his selections for the inscriptions in the
ladies’ albums which were once so fash
ionable, when they were sent him with
a request for his autograph.
It is said that while President he never
drank any ardent spirits. This was cor
roborated by his negro servant, who said
that “Massa Jackson no drink ram, bnt
den he drink his ooffee strong enough
to kill de debbii "—Cincinnati QtuetU.
Ton should never give advioe. H the
person to whom yon offer it is wise, he
doesn't need it; it he isn’t he won’t
