12 NYE ON THE NEW YEAR. It Isn't Well to Bo Too Much of a “Jolly Dog.” William Relates a Very Pathetic Box Office Scone. The Landlord Who Kan a Hotel at Hur ley, and Something About That Place. (Copyright by Associated Press.) The new year brings with it many hopes mid fears, joy and regret—hopes mid fears for the future, joy mid regret for the past. A great French philosopher suys that lifter forty we should be very grateful if we tire not absolutely and coh- TKKETS • 0 i ■ ■Uh V I J IwA / \x«4 /Z / "NO SEATS, 1 SAY!” stantly unhappy. This ought, to buoy up those who are only unhappy every four years or every alternate four years. 1 like to sit down on the first day of every year for a few moments and think over the good I have done. It does not take long. 1 can mostly attend to it is’fore breakfast. Then 1 I’lin attend to my regrets for duties unperformed during the rest of of the day. But 1 am a poor regret ter ami soon tire of this. The glad new year should be more wise ly used. We should not only regret just enough to chastise ourselves, and then with a firm and rigid upper lip proceed to do better. Some people do not allow their sorrows to heal but keep them open, torn and bleeding, just, ns weak and cow ardly soldiers sometimes create and man tain ghastly sores in order to avoid a coming battle. Wo niURt cheerfully go forth to meet our duty with each return ing year, and the home Is the best place to investigate a man's efforts. There are a good many “jolly dogs” in this world; but, as < Irejflien Buys: “Did you oversee the wife dog? She sleeps in a see the children of a curs of the dog? be jolly dog may be as binnrilkjD regrotter. Let us overdo tine Gog business wilh siva.ii and exliaußt ourselves, sji_ llpil at hifiio we may be more civil . Fartion me for moralizing on the glad now year, but thflife ought to be one day in each year when we put our past out on the line and look it over and pound it with a broom to knock out the harvest of selfishness and unkitiduess. Enough of the glad new year! I.ast evening there was a pathetic scene nt the box otliee in Paris where we spoke for the benefit of a thrifty church society under the auspices of the ladies committee. As usual in such cases the seats were sold the day before. Paris generally is regarded as the wickedest and most immoral city in the world, but Paris, Illinois, should not be confused with Paris, Prance. We came at noon and registered at the Hotel Bristol, on the Place A'endolmw-t pronounced Plass Vendome —and in the .•veiling we began after prayer meeting, it being Wednesday evening. At !• o’- clock a tired man, with tall, heavy boots mid the sad air of one who had been thir ty years trying to prove that agriculture was one of the most delightful occupa tions known to humanity, asked the man at the box otliee window for a good seat.. ” 1 f you had been here yesterday,” said the ticket seller, “you could huve bought, a seat, but not to day.” “Sir?” said the man. “Seats all sold yesterday,” was the gentle reply. “1 didn't hear what you said." answer ed the old gentleman, unrolling his ear and placing a hand with a red mitten on it behind the ear. "No seats, 1 say!" was the hurried an swer in n loud tone. "Not even in the orehister?” “No!” “Whassay?” “No!" “Well, that's all all over me., Comc fourteen miles over a road that‘s froze tighter than the top on a new bile, and can't hear nothin over eight foot to save my life, and got to buy standin, room. Louisiana ami the girls has got (.he latt on me this time." Much has been printed throiigliout the I United States regarding the eomljtioß ol I society at Hurley, Wis. Probably some I of it is true, it is said that the people ! there are mostly miners who h ive beet. ! imported from abroad under contract:, i Some of them were caught in Polauo alive, and others wore snared in Russia. They talk their own language, drink al- i eohol when depressed mentally and chew; tobacco in the English language. Several times the world has been star- ; tied by the news that a large stockade : had been established in a forest a few miles from Hurley, and that young girls were being kidnapped from Chicago to be locked up in these stockades to lead wicked lives or to be cruelly slain and buried at midnight in the asparagus bed j adjoining the prison. It was a sad tale and aroused much sympathy, but later information shows that those girls were kidnaped from Boiler avenue, and that they also hung on the flank of the Union army during the war. They have thofe fore arrived at the age of discretion. IT they did not care to be kidnaped they could have gone right away from there. We mot a retired landlord from Hurley on the train to Alpena the other day. He was a handsome young fellow of Irish birth and was dressed in purple and line linen. He also wore a high silk hat, with a broad band on it. and his golden hair seemed to have caught the glpuitf of a dying day in October. He was just tiie kind of man to make a low. dirty, drunken, imported murderer mad, he looked os cool and clean and sweet. He had been at Hurley running a hotel He had woru a white vest one day last summer to market, also a tall hat. He did not get his marketing, but. he got a wealth of tobacco juice on his white vest, and his hat was found on the roof of the opera house after ten days had sped on winged wings. Hurley has seven or eight opera houses which are open every day in the year. The audiences are entirely men folks, and opera glasses are not called for. The Sabbath is set aside as a day for recover ing from the Saturday night debauch, but the recovery also requires Monday. jag has n world-wide reputation and speaks for itvelf. Social matinees are held In the morn ing to accommodate the miner* who work at night and cannot see society ex cept in the daytime. Men wear their hats and smoke Cable tobacco—l. e., to bacco that one can smoke in Wisconsin and smell in Europe. Wearing their hats nt these theatrical performances is a cheap imitation of the custom among ill mannered Indies, but the tobacco hab it they have picked up out of tht-i • ,v heads. The opera fa in the line of comic opera, and consists of varied specialties, and is played by artists who wear thin property clothes on the street, and their tights whim on the stage show bow high their bbOt legs come when they are dressed for tho street. The girl who sings about the picture that was turned, toward the wall lias an Aeloean nose, tHrough which she sings a sud lay. She stands on the outside of her feet n« she warbles, and there are traces of sadness on her face, also traces of iron ore around her waist. Possibly soiile ope has loved her—some man under the influence of drink. I mean—and with his iron covered arm has clasped her ore and ore, only to be repulsed by those thoughtless word.-, “Oh, go and chase yourself!” And so he has gone away, leaving her there alone to face all those people, and sing and try to bo guy. Girls ought to Is' more careful what they say to mon who are intoxicated. I once knew a young lady who told a man to avaunt under thone circum stances. and now, although she is happy and wealthy, she is an old maid. How mil<-li better it is to have some one you enn call your own, no matter how worthless and low, than to be an old maid! Hurley is gay and lively with its for i-ign tongues hoard here and there, the merry music of the orchestra of the near est theatre, and the dull thud that strikes one’s ear as he is richly repaid for wearing eyeglasses ou the street, or wiping his nose with a handkerchief. I can imagine a sweet voiced onjenew girl elocutionist reading one of Brown ing’s poems to those great, strong, manly fellows who wear whiskers wherever they ha upon to spring up, and who drink to Mixcess. We did not play Hurley. I would not mind playing the Siberian tallow candle circuit, but Hurley does not appreciate real art. Opposite to us one day in a Pullman there was a pair of newly wedded people. I was reading, but the story was too massive for me, treating of fin de cycles nnd one thing or another, and of living for a purpose, and of getting a firm grasp on the tail Os the age in which we live, and so forth, and thus I sort of listened to the bright, and childlike talk of the two sweet things cuddled up there to gether, with her little gray gloved baud now and then gliding through his whiskers, in such away as to make time feed he was one great solid mass of whis krs, whereas he only had a little “aiders,” which looked like ear muffs that had worked forward. “And so wo go to New Orleanls,Ambrose she asked as she opened her new trav elling bag and took u new cake of soup to smell of. “Yes." said Ambrose, scowling at the toe'. of his new boot, which was hurting him, I judge, “we take the Q. and C. from Cincinnati, or we take the luxuri ous Illinois Central which has such cun ning little depots all along its line, and we will spend a week in New Orleans. “And what is New Orleans like, Am brose?” she asked in a sity way, nestling her head under his arm, jvilh her nosu in his cigar pocket. i “New Orleans is an Joi d city of the south,” he said, “with ereoleg and croco- >f 11, THE NWLY WEDDED PAIR. diles ill it, and a shell road, so called be cause the two armies shelled each other along that road in the war. “New Orleans," be said, looking has tily at hi# cuff, "is also a great sugar market for the plantations along tho river." “Oh. how sweet!” she said. “We will go out to plantation where they are making sugar, and wo will make wax sugar. ■ Did you ever eat any of that, Ambrose?" "No. What is it?" ‘Why you just twke the hot sugar, you know, and pour it on the suow. It is real good.” She will make a good wife to him, 1 am sure, and will order things from the mar ket. She will order her croquettes by the set ami live for weeks on purple cold slaw because it matchs the tablecloth. But Ambrose will not care —that is, for throe or four weeks—and then he will have the colic some night, ami she will T.'ilk to him about his heart and how to keep it ever true to her, when it is not his heart that is hurting him at all. and she will put a beautiful pale blue night shirt on him to roll on the floor in till the doctor comes, and the doctor will, after he has heard the history of the case, take her aside and tell her if she really does love Ambrose -she had better get goods that will match his interior decorations instead of the tablecloth, and he will re cover. and by and by they will acciden tally know something.

The Governor to Decapitate Of fending Treasurers, And Says the Laws Will Certain ly Be Enforced. A Plan to Prevent Anyone from Becom ing a Dispenser. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 5. —(Special.)— There is a storm brewing in this state as the result of the dispensary law which is to go into effect next July. Matters are in a turmoil and it looks as if the - dogs of war will be let slip. f Governor Tillman has just returned . from Clemson College, and on learning of the action of some of the county treus _ urers in furnishing receipts to barkeep ers, stating that the money was for liq uor licenses, he expressed himself very freely and pointedly in regard to the matter. The fact is that in some half dozen counties the county treasurers have given licenses for the year ana specified in their receipts that the money was paid for the privilege of selling liq uor "for the year 1803.” This of course, appears to be a point in favor of the barkeepers, as the time specified for the law to go into effect is the first of next J uly. The Governor said that tills was in direct violation of the instructions tel egraphed each treasurer by the Attor ney General. ‘You may be sure,” said he, “that 1 am going to look into this violation of instruetious, and as soon as I find out which treasurers have diso beyed orders I will relieve them of their duties and appoint, despite primaries or anything else, men who are capabh of taking instructions.” When the Governor was asked about the future of the law and the opposition it was likely to incur in the courts, he replied: “Yon may say for me that the bill will go into effect on July 1, next, as certain as it is an act, and it will be enforced too.” • "Even if the courts should intervene! “Yes, despite the courts or anything else.” The Governor said that possibly some of tlie treasurers might not have received the instructions, and that he would give each one a hearing before he chopped his head off. Said he: “Nobody is, or can boa part of the gov ernment who will not hold up the laws, as interposed to him by the proper au thorities.” In Berkely county the law seems to be utterly . repudiated. The county treas uere htus advertised to the effect that he will issue permits to take out licenses in incorporated towns, and will also issue licence to retail liquor in the county. The county commissioners have advertis ed that they will issue bonds for licences to retail liquor in the county. The sentiment in Spartanburg county is that tho application of any person to be a dispenser will not be indorsed, and the law requires that such application cannot be considered unless a majority of I lie free-holders sign it. The same appears to be the situation in Kershaw county. The Abbeville Press and vises the Governor, in the city councils licensing the batw* 1 to law, to employ constables, are not sufficient to try then call for federal aid. iTml The Register the cities as netion of laws of South GurJffi" defiance to the The) Registe/todaxJ’Hna.
