THE EVENING GALL. M.X No. 196 Social Salad pleasantly reported for THE EVENING FALL. Curious to know how the great gods are prized By common mortals, creatures made of clay, Mercury, as a traveler disguised, Entered a sculptor’s studio one day, Where all the gods above and under ground, For sale, as busts or statues, could be found. “How much for Jupiter? ’ quoth Mercury. “One dollar, sir; a gem from foot to head;” “And Juno there, she is for sale I see; “How much?’’ “Two dollars, sir,” the sculptor said. Amused, the smiling god at length espies An image of himself among the lot; “Ah, ten times more will he demand (he thought) For me, the mighty Herald cf the skies I ’’ "How much for Mercury? Can I prevail On you to part with him? Is he for eale?” ‘Oh,” answered him the sculptor, with a grin. .'lf you will buy the pair, I’ll throw him in.” * * * When it is generally known that baldness is said to be tire inevitable result of tbe present fashion of wear' ing pompadour hair, fashion’s edict that the pompadour shall go, and tbe universally admired part return, will be hailed with delight by all the fair sex. Subjected to the incessant use of tongs, and the scalp overheated by the roll which is in nearly every instance nscessary to give the required puff, the hair dies a natural death, and bald, ness is the result. Men do not, as a general thing, like the pompadour- They have decided views as to what is becoming and what is not. Unani mously, they declare that the pompa dour is not. They voice the sentiment that the hair be so arranged as to show tbe contour of the head ta tbe best advantage. From across the water come rumors of wigs worn by smart Parisians, the result of falling hair But their reign is not likely to be a long one, as in spite of some advan tages they are very hot things to wear, and always the hair “au nature!” is vastly more becoming than anything false. » » » old fashioned cut flowers, we learn, have had their day. There are still conservative admirers who desire that their flowers shall be worn, but to be strictly up to date, one must send tbe complete plant, not stem, branch and blossom. It may be a tiny violet nest ling in a bed of leaves, or a huge japo* nica or szalia—but it must be entire and growing, filled with life. And there is lots of sense in this ottering, too. Give a box of cut flowers, and at tbe best, they can only last a day or two, and with their passing away, may pass the thoughts of the giver. But the living plant remains and forces upon the mind many times a day thoughts of tbe faithful friend. » # # A charming affair wag the reception given Thursday afternoon at the resi dence of Mrs James A. Clark, a com pliment to the Social Circle. Tbe Clark home is distinguished for its elegance and hospitality, and Thurs day’s reception was another evidence of the charm of that hospitality.

A DESERVED PUNISHMENT J Dan Franklin, Colored, Was Severely Beaten Last Night Since last Thursday night two ne groes in this city have been a severe thrashing by a parly of un known men. The first one was Henry Harris, a full account of which was published in the Call yesterday afternoon. Last night about 11 o’clock Dm Franklin had a buggy trace almost worn out on hie worthless hide. The negro was taken from his home by a party of unknown men and ca r ried to the woods north of the city, and after being flogged almost to death was warned to leave town within twen ty-four hours. He gladly agreed to leave, in fact, expressed a regret that he had not left twenty-four hours earlier. He has not been seen today and it is thought he left during the early hours of tbe morning. Franklin is one of the meanest scoundrels that has ever lived in a de cent community, and lias been warned several times to cease making remarks about white women. As his past offenses went unpunished, he became bolder, and the remark i he made about white women in general, and Mrs. Cranford in particular, are too horrible to think of, much lees to publish in a paper. The vile-moutb scoundrel is about 55 years of age, ginger cake color, with grey mustache, and stoop shouldered, and if he ever shows his rotten carcass in a decent community, he should be treated to just such a beating as was given him fast night. Nowhere in the country is the nes gro treated better than in Griffin so long as he knows his place and keeps it, but they must learn, through bitter ■ experience, if needs b?, that the mime i and chastity of women must never be ; sullied by them ♦ Spain’s Greatest Need- Mr. R. P,Olivia,of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head On using Electric Bitters, America’s greatest Blood and Nerve Remedy, all pains soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what this country needs.

Humbled a Cowboy. “There is at least one cowboy in Arizona whose head is three sizes smaller than it was a month ago,” said the Chicago drummer as he brushed the alkali du ß t off his coat collar, re lates the Chronicle cf that city. “At Toombstone I fell in with a young man from New llavdi, who was [ rowl ing over the country in search of a goad thing, but not caring much whether he found it or not. One afternoon he stood with bis back to the street reading the posters on a bill board He bad on a silk hat, and presently a cowboy emerged from a store on the opposite side of the square. One glance at that hat, brought out a gun, end there was a pop' pop! pop! till six bullets had been fired. “The tendeifoot never turned, nor let on that he had beard the shooting. In ten seconds (he gun was reloaded, and there was a fusilade There were a hundred people looking on, shouting and laughing, but the tenderfoot kept his bacK to tlie street until tbe twelfth shot had been fired. 1 hen he turned When Traveling.

The remains were yet smoking when he picked them up, crossed the square and hold ing the handful of old hat out to tbe cowboy he humbly said : “ ‘lf you have a couple of months to spare 1 might be willing to teach you how io handle a gun I” "‘But hadn’t the cowboy’s bullets! hit the hat?' was asked. “Every blessed one of them,” replied tbe drummer, “but no one knew it ex cept the tenderfoot, and he destroyed all evidence by his own shooting. The crowd took it that the cowboy missed, and raised a laugh on him, and when he straddled his cayuse and loped down the street he looked as homesick as a dog a thousand miles from home. ’ si Ah Excellent Combination, j The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste'and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently-yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per- j manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable qualify and sub stance. and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In the process of manufacturing lips are’, used, as they are pleasant to tin taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Shut Co. only.
