uijc ‘Xonstitntioiuilist. AUGUSTA, O-A.: Friday Morning, December 17, 1875. mi l—il ' Platonic Philosophy. [From the Home Journal.] Believe in Platonics! Well, no, not exactly You see it’s right hard to define ’ Between the strong real and “purely ideal ’’ A clear but intangible line. ’ The t heory is pretty and very convenient * The distinction is so very “thin’ - That it's sometimes quite vexing, as well as perplexing, To settle just which it has been. You swore in Platonics. Perchance you werehonest— ,t silenced allscruple3 the same - home days you discover the “friend” is a over. The difference is just in the name. it’s alluringly bated for those who are mated With not over-dear husbands or wives, But sometimes, ere it’s over, this love under and over Makes shipwreck of one or more lives. It is best to eschew what we’ll certainly rue, or if we make love, to call it love-mak ing; To play with edge tools is the pastirol of fools, Ottenest ending in tears, and heart-break iug. Mignonette. Theatrical Dead Beats. [Memphis Ledger.] But few people have any idea of the means taken by some men to gain ad mission to the theatre free of charge, nor have they any idea of the different classes of men who make these efforts to enjoy something formothing. One man purchases a ticket, goes in antT sees half the play, then goes out and gives his check to another man, who walks in and enjoys the remainder of the performance. The first man then rushes up to the door-keeper and as sumes an air of great excitement as he searches his pockets for the lost cheek ; says he has lost it, but the door-keeper must of course remember him, as he had made it a point to speak to the door keeper as he went out. Another chap walks up when there is a rush at the door, and when the door-keeper is very busy taking checks, hands him an old check used several nights previously, and walks in, but the door-keeper stops him and says : “Hold on, sir, this check is not used by us to-night; we have different checks for every night;” and the unbashed dead-beat laughs or says something unintelligibly as he sneaks down stairs. Still another, more cheeky than the rest, boldly walks up and saja to the door-keeper : “Sir, I have lost mv check while I went over to the saloon to get a drink, and he attempts to walk in, but is stopped. He becomes indig nant, and says: “Do you think, sir, that I would tell a lie for a dollar?” “I have nothing to do with that, sir,” replies the bland door-keeper, “ but if you were in, I gave you a check when you went out, and if you have lost it, it is your loss; you must purchase another ticket.” The man becomes still more indignant, talks about the manage ment and threatens never to patronize the theatre again, as he walks majesti cally down stairs. These things are done often by persons whom you would not suspect of such conduct, but their high-toned morals teaches them that it is not wrong to dead-beat a theatre if they can. All kinds of confidence dodges are practiced in order to secure admission. Men pretend to represent newspapers, to be editors of country journals and members of the staff of papers in other cities. They even carry note books, which they take out when refused ad mission, as if to note down the insult rid indignantly appeal to their widely circulated and influential journals, and they threaten to crush the theatre in their next issue in consequence of being refused admission as dead-heads. The legitimate journalist, if in another city, of course, purchMgs his ticket like any other well-behawaCHristian or infidel. President Grant and the Anti-Cath olic Order.— John T. Foster, editor of th<- Newark, (N. J.,) Evening Courier, it as addressed a letter to ex-Speaker lilaine, iu which he says: ‘'Eighteen months ago! told you that you evuld have New Jersey in 1876. I wish now to emphasize that statement. All our people are for you, and we can carry the State beyond peradrenture. Our danger is that the West will de mand the nomination. This can also be averted, of course, by a union of New England, the Middle States, and stray votes from the South. A potent factor in our next convention will be the secret anti-Catholic order. Grant is a member, and it has a good deal of strength in Congress. I think you dught. to go jn. It can be arranged so ’hat you can be initiated anywhere by one person. The order is spreading widely. My obligations do not permit me to* say more than this, except that Grant, no doubt, relies upon it to pro mote his aims. With wisdom at Wash ington, and with the States we have j carried, we can surely hold the coun try. But to hold it for a hap-hazard candidate is hardly worth the candle. For one of a vast multitude I want to hold it for you.” H r Cat. —“Emeline Arnold, did you strike your husband with a poker?” asked the court of a square shouldered woman without any bustle on. “And what did he do ?” she squeaked. “The poker question takes the preference, Mrs. Arnold. Did you play poker on his head?” “You don’t know what I have to stand from him !”■ “Answer my question, Mrs. Arnold.” If you knew that man as I do, judge ! I had thirty-six dollars iu cash when we were married, five years ago, and he has run through every dollar of it!” “The —poker—the poker !” “Well, I did hit him,” she replied, finding herself corn ered at last, “but what did he do—an swer me that !” “I can’t do it.” “Well, sir, he kicked a cat that has been in our family for three years !” “Is Mr. Arnold here ?” asked the court, looking over the audience. Mr. Arnold, with his head bound up, had been waiting to swear against his wife, but suddenly overtaken with remorse he rushed out floors as the court called. “Mrs. Ar nold, you may go home,” said his hon or, “and if you feel it your duty to strike your husband with a poker oc casionally, I suppose I can't help it.”— Detroit Free Press. --—i • How Uncle Daniel Started His Church. —After “Uncle Drew” had sub scribed $200,000 toward founding anew Methodist College, lie remarked to a friend one day*' “Well, sir, I didn’t know where the money was coming from. I was worried over it, and so made it a subject of prayer. After fasting and praying over the matter for one day, I went down on Wall street, and* in less than twenty-four hours, I skinned those fellows out of $200,000! ” — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The big hog of this or any other season passed along the street Mon day evening en route to the slaughter pen. He weighed 740 pounds, aad looked as big as he weighed. He was raised by Mr. Samuel Anderson, on Beaver creek, in this county, and was sold bv him to Giles Y. Buford & Cos., of our town. He was a monster, and attracted mQje than an average share of attention from street-passers and shopkeepers generally.— Glasgow {Kg.) f imes, Decembei' 2, take SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR ior all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Sefe MALARIOUS fevers, bowel DYSPEPSIA, MENTAL DEPRESSION, RESTLESSNESS, JAUN SIcK HEADACHE, CON STIPATION, COLIC and BILIOUSNESS.

The cost of picking by this system is only about one mill per pound ou the cloth produced, and the picker house is safer from lire than the card ru mi. 4SrThere is also a great saving of room and power over the old system. These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fail River, Manchester Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc. The following are a iew among many testimonials whicn we have received: AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga.

COGIN, Superintendent. o OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I Langley, S. 0., April 14, 1873. \ The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.: Gentlemen. I nave been running your system of Compound Opener Lapper * and Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for mote th >r two years navt at the G< tton Mill oi u:e Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, vve have not weighed a pound of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire. Yours, Ac., M. F.
