SO VERY PLAIN. “If only she were not so very plain,” sigh ed Mrs. Morton, as she discussed her daugh ter’s future with her friend. “A plain girl uow-a-days lias no chance at all.” And poor Lizzie Morton had learned to consider her want of beauty almost in the light of a misdemeanor. “ A woman has no right to be ugly,” her father would say; and her mother would glance at her own reflection in the glass and murmur : “ Very odd that Lizzie takes after neither her father nor me.” ►So it is easy to imagine that Lizzie had looked forward to her first ball with mingled feelings. “ It is very little matter, after all, what you wear, my dear,” her mother had said. “ With your complexion anything will suit equally well.” And )et, when Lizzie was dressed and came down the broad staircase in her white dress, with its trimmings of carnations, and her crimson cape over her shoulders, she was by no means altogether unlovely. Her eyes had a soft, mild expression, and flic little hesitancy and shyness made her lower the heavily fringed lids which many a beauty might have envied. These heavy eyelids had been a trouble to her all her life. Ilcr brothers had ridiculed her for her sleepy look, anil she had been ac customed to hear sharp contrasts drawn be tween her mother’s wide open, large gray eyes and her own heavy look. So she followed her father in much trepida tion to the carriage, and her heart beat high as, after their short drive, they reached Bran don Ilall, with its blaze of light and waiting servants and general appearance of festivity. Mr. and Mrg. Brandon were cordially greet ed by their friend, Sir Harry Wells; and, being among the earliest arrivals, and upon a footing of the closest intimacy, Lizzie was claimed by the younger members of the fam ily and carried off to see the decorations in the supper room. She had time to recover some sclf-posscs sion before the guests filled the ball room and dancing began. Sir Harry’s second son came up and claim ed her for the first waltz—he could scarcely do less—but, that ordeal over, she was left to sit quietly by her mothcr’3 side. She had been sitting still for a long time, when suddenly her car caught a few words— something about “taking compassion”—and she was startled a moment after at hearing a O few rapid words of introduction and finding a gentleman standing beside her, soliciting the pleasure of a dance. “ Poor little girl! how shy she is thought Lord Pelham to himself, as she gave a faint response and rose from her seat. ” Well, one must do a good-natured tiling once in a while.” The good-natured thing did not prove very u npleasant. Lord Pelham'3 well-bred courtesy placed Lizzie at her ease, and, much to her own sur prise, she found herself chatting to him all about her home, her scarcely discarded school days and this very ball. “ I suppose,” said Lord Pelham, “ you were very much excited about your first ball ? I remember when my sisters came out what a fuss there was ! It is a good many years ago (by Jove, they wouldn't thank me for saying that though), and every one thought they’d take the town by storm. You can’t guess, Miss Morton,” lie said, warming to his subject—“ 3*oll can’t guess how pretty they looked. I can sec them now, dear girls! How proud I was of them both! I really don’t know which was the prettier,” he ad ded, reflectively. Lizzie sighed. *• Why,” continued Lord Pelham, as if once startled in his recollections he found it diffi cult to stop, ‘‘l remember almost quarreling with uiy cousin because Lily tcould dance the first waltz with him ! 1 low absurd it seems !” “ Are they married ?” asked Lizzie, tim idly. “Married ? Well—no,” said Lord Pelham, reflectively, “and, come to thi k of it, it's odd too, that they haven't married, such pret ty girls as they were.” “ I thought,” said Lizzie, impulsively, “that pretty girls always married—at least—l ” “ You—what?” asked Lord Pelham, rather amused at her aroused tone; then as she shrank back into her shyness he continued, laughing: “ Well, I thought, too, once that pretty girls always married—hut they don’t, you sec! Why, half the old maids were prett\’ girls once!” “ I wish I were a pretty girl!” said Lizzie, in a sudden burst of confidence, but so naively that no one could have suspected any desire for unmeaning compliment. Her simplicity amused Lord Pelham vastly. He glanced at her little unconscious face, and after a second’s hesitation asked, in a man ner that put her quite at ease : “ Would you mind tolling me why? Are pretty girls such enviable things?” “ I think they arc,” said Lizzie ; “ I'm so JEFFERSON. JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY". JULY 15, 1881. tired of being told how pla ; n I am, ever}’ one seems to think I can help it; and I can’t, you know.” “No!” said Lord Pelham, “ I suppose not; you weren’t consulted about it, were you ? Well, never mind, Miss Morton, I’ll tell you something to comfort you. I’ve got a plain sister, and I love her better than both the others put together,” and he looked so kindly at her, even with a little amused smile on his lips, that Lizzie’s reserve melted quite away. “ Is she married ?” she asked, in a hopeful tone. “Married! Yes, indeed, married the very first season she came out, and such a plain little body you did. never see ?” “How did she manage it?” asked Lizzie, in a tone of amazement. Lord Pelham fairly laughed—he couldn’t help it. This girl, this plain little girl, amused him vastly. “ Oh,” he said, at last, “ I suppose some body was wise enough to know that beauty is only skin deep, and my sister Janie had an angel’s soul.” Lizzie sighed again ; then, with a renewed outburst of confidence, she said : “ I don’t think beauty is only skin-deep. I think it’s heart-deep. I would give all I have to be pretty.” And as she spoke, such a wistful, child like look grew in her face that her companion was touched. “ I wouldn’t think about it if I were you,” be said, after a pause. “ Try and put it out of your head. There arc plenty of things be side beauty you can have. Don’t you sing, or play ?” “ I sing a little,” said Lizzie. “ But please don’t tell any one. I am so afraid Lady Wells will ask me.” “ I won’t betray you,” said Lord Pelham, more and more amused. This naive little girl was something new in bis world. There was something about her, too, which reminded him of his favorite sis ter. lie felt that Janie would have liked her. lie took her back to her mother, feeling very much as if she were a little child con fided to his care. “ Poor little girl,” he was thinking to him self. “Is she so very plain ?’’ He had really scarcely noticed her, had asked her simply out of “compassion for her loneliness,” with no interest in her person ally whatever. She had amused him, though. He smiled again as he recalled her naivcttc. After an interval his thoughts recurred to her. “ By Jove !” he thought, “ I’ll take her for some refreshment.” And very much to her amazement, and her mother’s surprise, she was escorted on his lordship’s ann to the refreshment-room. All her shyness was gone, as far as Lord Pelham was concerned. -She chatted away freely, not for a moment imaginging in her simple little heart that he was critically con sidering whether she realty was so very plain. “ I suppose she is,” was his mental reflec tion—“ I suppose she is—and yet I don’t know. I wish she’d look at me. She may have cj’cs under those lids.” But Lizzie was not yet sufficiently at home with him to look at him. She answered his questions freely, and was easily led on to give graphic descriptions of her home life ; of the brothers who teased her, and the sister, a year or two younger, who was longing to come out, and who was such a regular beauty. “So fair, you know,” said Lizzie, with a touching reflection upon her own dull and freckled skin, “ and with such lovely large blue open eyes.” “ By Jove !” thought Lord Pelham, “ I wish slic’d look at me. I’d like to see what her own eyes are like.” But this wish at least was vain. Not even her gratitude—and shy Lizzie was overpower ed with gratitude for all his attention —could give her courage to look up at him. He remained near her, chatting, till the carriages were announced, and even lingered to place her cape round her shoulders, and bid quite a cordial good-night to her parents ; but, after all, his curiosity was not satisfied. “ And so Lizzie did dance 1” said her cider brother next day, as the ball was eagerly discussed. “ Dance !” said her father, in high good humor—“l should think so! Danced with Lord relham, above all!” “ Yes ;” said Mrs. Morton, reflectively, “ it was very good-natured of him. I heard him say something about compassion ; he was sorry to see her so lonely.” Lizzie herself was so convinced that this was the case that she was not the least annoyed, only when she went upstairs she staid a moment longer than usual before her glass, raising her heavy lids, looked herself straight in the face. “ He’s very good natured,” she thought “ I wish I were not so very plain.” Lord Pelham’s curiosity about those eyes was singular. He found himself speculating more unreasonably on the subject, and wondering what color would suit her face. Almost any color, he was forced to admit, would do. The dull, sallow skin, the ill j formed nose and wide mouth, no eyes could FOR THE PEOPLE. “By Jove 1 what a pretty gril!” he thought, as his eye wandered past to a rosebud of a girl—“ the beauty,” evidently, of poor Lizzie's talc—and next to her sat his shy friend herself, the downcast lids more drooping than ever, the dull complexion more leaden beside the bright blue eyes and pink and white of the pretty si6tcj\ Still, Lord Pelham’s glance rested on the plain face of his earlier acquaintance. The service seemed wonderfully short, and when the congregation left the chancel he found himself side by side with Mrs. Morton. “ Going our way ?” she asked, in the porch ; and so naturally enough, lie accompanied them homeward, even walking through tlicir park up to the very door. “ Mr. Morton's in the conservatory, if you care to join him,” Mrs. Morton ventured to say, her motherly heart all in a flutter; for here, she decided, was a chance for pretty Rose. And Lord Pelham did care, it appeared, and had a chat with the master of the house, found sundry points of interest in common, and even stayed for the family dinner. “ Horribly unaristocratic he must think us!” feared Mrs. Morton, as she explained that the early dinner enabled the servants to go to church. Little Lord Pelham cared nothing for her chatter; he was wholly occupied with the plain face opposite to him. In vain pretty Rose bridled and blushed ; in vain she peeped up at him with her most bewitching air. He was onty conscious of one fact about her, which was, that she snubbed her elder sister. So did every one else, it appeared to him ; for when Lizzie ventured the remark—which she rarely did—it was generally met with : “ Oh, I dare say you think so I” The neighborhood began to talk very soon after this eventful Sunday in the Mortons’ life. Lord Pelham remained at his friend's —Sir Ilarry Wells’—and came so often to the Lodge, evinced such an interest in all Mr. Morton’s improvements—actually invited the bo} T s to his manor for the September shoot ing—that he seemed almost like one of the family. One day in the early winter, when the hedges were sparkling with hoarfrost, and the roads were beginning to harden, Lord Pelham took his familiar way to the Lodge. lie was thinking, as he walked along, of many things about his intimacy there, and his thoughts involuntarily turned to Lizzie, lie went back in his mind to their first meet ing. “ I declare,” he said to himself, “ she never gives me a chance to see what those eyes are like. And liow they do snub her at home, to be sure ! Well, poor little thing ! she's worth a hundred times more than that pretty doll Rose will ever be !’’ He was walking briskly along, when his attention was arrested by a little figure which, turning a corner some distance before him, was hurrying, almost running, toward him. “ Why, by Jove !” exclaimed he, quickening his steps, “ it's Lizzie. What can be the matter ?” wholly redeem them, and probably the fringed eyelids were a compensation. Well, well, what did it matter? He sup posed they should not meet again. Why should they ? He did not intend remaining in the neighborhood, and, had he intended it, he had no excuse for calling. But they did meet. Somehow, on Sunday morning, a sudden and most unwonted im pulse seized Lord Pelham to attend service in the village church. lie went in late, a little embarrassed, if the truth must be told, at his own action. He sat very quietly in the corner of the pew to which the old verger conducted him, and onty felt at home when the droning choir began the Psalms. Then he looked about, and soon caught sight of Mrs. Morton’s hand some face. And as they met, Lizzie, with pale, frighten ed face, clung to his arm. “ Oh, Lord Pelham !” she cried, breathless ly, “ I'm so frightened ! Those horrid men ! I ran as hard as I could. They actually spoke to me. There they come !” As she spoke a band of tramps turned the same corner, evidently in high enjoyment of her terror. “ They begged,” explained Lizzie, “ and I was so frightened. I never was spoken to in the street before. I never go alone—only Dame Brown is sick in the village, and wanted to sec me. Lord Pelham was very indignant. He at first thought he would expostulate with the coming tramps; but feeling how undesirable it would be on her account, he contented himself with placing her little trembling hand on his arm, and casting fierce looks at them as he passed. “ Never mind, Lizzie!” he said, when, having turned the corner, thej F were out of sight. “ Yon don’t feel frightened now' —do you ?” And he stood still and took both the little shaking hands in his. “ Oh, no !” said Lizzie, looking straight up into his face, and then at last he saw the eyes, the deep violet eyes, swimming in tears, with their child like look of trust and dependence. “ I know 3*oll will take care of me.” “ Lizzie J” said his lordship, impulsively— “ Lizzie, I want you to let me always take care of you. Be my wife, Lizzie—my dear little wife.” “ Oh !’’ said Lizzie, drawing her hands away suddenly. “ You can't mean it, lam so very plain !” However, he convinced her that he did mean it, and the world has long forgotten that Lady Pelham was ever considered “ so plain.” “ She has such lovely eyes, you know,” Airs. Grundy says. The rest of her face is of no importance whatever! Fair Play Out West. They give a man a chance out West. In Deadwood, Custer, or any of those new We 9 tern towns, the spirit of fair play crops to the surface even in judicial proceedings. In March last, a Michigan man who keeps an eating house at Gunnison, was over-particu lar about taking a counterfeit half-dollar, and in the row which resulted he was consider ably battered, lie therefore called upon the Justice of the Peace and stated his case and asked for a warrant. “ I guess I wouldn’t make a fuss over it.” replied the ollicial. “ But lie meant to kill me.” “ Yes, I presume so, but lie’ll leave town and that will end it.” “But lie’s a dangerous man.” “ Yes, the}’ say so ; but no one is afraid of him.” “Judge, do you know what lie said about you when I said I’d have him arrested ?” “ No.” “ Well, he said you were a blamed grass hopper cater!” “ Yes, but lie didn’t mean it.” “ And lie called you a reptile.” “ Well, he was mad, I suppose.” “Yes, and lie was mad when lie said 3-011 didn't know enough to write 3-0111- own name, and therefore couldn’t issue a warrant!” “ Did lie say that ?” “ He did.” “ Then I’ll issue on him like a ten ton ava lanche on a yaller mule! The man who sneezes at 013' lamin’ must havo a contempt for the judiciary.” The warrant was issued, the party arrested and tried, and the verdict of the court was ; “ Gunnison Williams, the verdict of this court is that you arc guilty, and the sentence is a fine of dollars in cash. This court can’t get over the fact that you vilified its mental calibre. It is also aware of the fact that you haven't a red to pay your fine with. Now, then, if 3-011 wiy meet this court back of this building on the level it will eith er git away with 3*oll in six and a-half min utes or remit the fine. I want to prove to the citizens of*Gunnison that in electing me to the judiciary UlC3* have cast their votes for a man who can spit on his hands in six dif ferent languages and git away with a hog-pen full of roughs without having an ear scratch ed. Prisoner at the bar, have you anything to spy ?” The prisoner had. lie said he’d rather go to jail, and to jail lie went. How to Keep Cool. As warm weather approaches, we devise all sorts of plans to keep cool, and by very earnestness defeat our purpose. To be cool, one must be tranquil—and avoid unnecessary exertion. The prudent housekeeper will make her morning fire suffice to do the chief part of the cooking for the day. Cold boiled meats, cold vegetables, cold desserts for din ner, when that meal comes in the middle of the day, arc in order. Potatoes made into salad are not to be scorned by any lover of that vegetable. If a cup of hot tea or coffee is desired, it can be made on an oil stove, and such food as is prepared warm can be warmed over. But custom renders cold food as palatable as, and during hot weather even more palatable than hot food is in cold weather. A little persistence on the part of the house mother will prove this the case, and the experiment is certainly worth trying. Farmers’ wives who stew over the stove in mid-summer noons have a harder time of it than farmers do in the fields, and there is no necessity for this. Iced tea and cotfee and milk arc as delicious as hot tea and coffee when one’s palate is accustomed to them. The hardest part of the work should be done in the morning, if possible, and if you can lie down for awhile in the heated part of the day, so much the better. Plenty of sleep, with frequent baths, will enable almost any one to bear the warm weather philosophically. “ How things do grow this weather,” said the deacon to Brother Amos. “ Yes, they do,” replied the brother. “ Last night 1 heard you say you caught forty fish, and this morning I heard you tell Mr. Smith it was one hundred and fifty.” —Rochester Herald. “The Germans are a frugal people,” sa}'s an American writer, after visiting the Berlin opera house. ”As soon a9 the opera was over, the man in front took wads of cotton from his pocket and stopped up his ears to save the music he had paid fur.” S TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM. ) SI.OO for Six Mouths.

At Genoa there has just died a dog which during the Crimean war was present in one of the battles and made three Russian sol diers prisoners. He attained a wonderful longevity, but of late years was a mere wreck, though cared for in a Government hospital. Tourists have such an admiration for the lovely Alpine flower (edelweiss), and carry away so much of it, that a law has been pass ed by the canton of Lucerne forbidding the sale or oxport of the plant, and permitting tourists to gather only the full blown flowers. Jonas Ileywood murdered a man at Mo nongahela, l*a , and fled. 11 is disguise was so perfect that he could not be recognized from the printed description of him sent to the police throughout the country; but two words in that document, “ He stutters,” wero fatal to his chance of permanent escape. Detectives kept their ears open for a stutterer, arrested several innocent ones, and finally caught Ileywood. Bull fighting in Mexico, as described by various newspaper correspondents now in that country, is full}- as spiritless and safe as the exhibition of the sport given in this city last summer. The bulls arc tormented a while by men who arc provided with handy places of retreat, and finally stabbed to death, without being given half a chance to defend themselves. There is no fighting, in fact, but simply a wanton butcher)’. # A spirited and fastidious Ottawa girl de clined to be married, though the guests were assembled and the bridegroom waiting, be cause the t'.ain of her dress did not hang properly. Expostulation was in vain. Sho said that she had put a great amount of thought and money into the garment, and it would be a lifelong sorrow to her if sho woro it when conscious that it was not a success. The wedding was postponed a week. Graft lounged into a Chicago bar room and called for a pint of whisky, which was given to him in a bottle, under the supposition that he meant to carry it away. He pourod the liquor back into the measure, and drank it without pausing to take breath. A startled bystander commented on the size ,of tho drink. Graft said the only hindrance to drinking a quart more was that lie lacked the money to pay for it. That difficulty was overcome, and the quart was gulped down, but with an instantly fatal result.

An English correspondent writes from Naples: “It is not long since that much excitement was created by the death of a friar who was supposed to know by divine communication the winning figures of the lot tery. To extort them from him every species of cruelty was practiced, till at last lie died in a hospital. Another similar case is now being investigated. A man called Pompiere boasted that lie was ‘assisted’ in a knowledge of the winning numbers. Of this he persua ded a number of persons, who resolved on making him reveal them. In March, 1879, they invited him to dinner in the country, and from that time he has disappeared. Search for him was uselessly made by the family, and now the authorities have taken the mat ter up.” There was a row in the California Dental Convention about a tooth which Dr. Younger had put in and Dr. Lundborg had pulled out. The trouble began when Dr. Younger read to the Convention a paper on transplanting teeth. lie asserted that he had performed the operation many times, and always with success. Dr. Lundborg followed in an ad dress condemning the practice, claiming that there was danger of transferring diseases with the tooth, and finally declaring that most of the attempts had proved failures. In proof of the latter point, he said that he had found it necessary to pull a tooth out of a woman’s mouth which Dr. Youngor had placed there. The altercation which ensued was remarkable chiefly for the vigor of the swearing, and the meeting closed in disorder. Franklin Oliver bought 3,300 acres of forest in Illinois fifty years ago, built a log house in the centre of the tract, and has lived there ever since. He became noted for eccentricities, and it is of him that the story is told about two Methodist ministers, who, having no money to pay for the lodging and breakfast which he had given them, were compelled to preach a sermon apiece to him as the sole congregation. Oliver resolved never to allow a bit of h’sland to be cultivated, declaring that he would leave it at his death just as he had found it; bnt five years ago, at the age of 90, he suddenly changed hia purpose and habits. From being a woman hater, he turned to loving the sex with the ardor of youth.. He wooed several girls and women at a time, and won their promises to marry him by Riving them pieces of his land. In that way he has rid himself of a great part of his now extremely .valuable propert}', and his heirs, in order to save the remainder, havo had him judicially declared incapable of managing his business.
