The hit of Christians casualties is
quite up to the average.
It is now that time of the waning
year when the Christmas reveler begins
to frame his New Year resolutions.
The proper way to check slander is
to despise it. Attempt to overtake and
refate it and it will outrun you.
The object of education is to make
men anil women know what they know
and also to know bow much they do
not know.
CHRISTMAS DURING TEE WAR.
The Christmas of 18U1 in tho south
was not so much different from those
thst proceeded, bnt the Christmas of
18J2 found the Confederate money ut a
heavy discount. Wood was 511 per
cord and turkeys 811 each, bnt even
at those prices many were still able to
enjoy them, and there were still some
toys to give the little folks. Then
camo the bitter year of 1833, with the
fall of Vicksburg and tlio defeat at
Gettysburg. With Bud faces, harmon
izing well with their dresses of coarse
black stuff, tho women of tho south
devoted themselves to picking lint ami
spinning and weaving for husbands,
fathers, brothers and sweethearts in j
the field. Christmas cheer—such as
conld bo obtained- cost n fabulous
sum, for one bright golden dollar was
then worth 828 in Confederate money.
Sugar was from $-7 to 310 per pound,
turkeys $.70 apiece and flour $3-1 per
barrel.
“Christmas, 1801 the last Christmas
of war times—dawned, and what
gloomy festival it was for the people
of the south,” says a southern lady.
‘Of manufactured prod acts we had
practically none. Our hairpins were
made of loug, black thorns, with a ball
of sealing wax on ouo cud. We had
made into dresses every scrap of avail
able material, and now our gowns con
sisted of window curtains, ‘homespuns'
and papor muslin or colored cambric
that had once done duty ns a liniu

Why is this?
The public awaits w ith almost breath
less interest the political fumes which
are expected to emauate from that
Ncwnan possum supper.
The New York minister who refused
to accept $o0 from Tammany in aid of
the poor knows more abont politics
than he docs about religion.
Jeriit Simpson says all he can do in
congress is to draw his pay. The
country would he satisfied if Jerry
made no effort to do more.
CunisTUAs 1897 has come and is go
ing. His must be a sour heart that can
view these sweet old customs with any
other feeling than that of genial appro-
bation.
Cotton receipts continue to lead
those of last year in all the principal
markets, and in the total. Receipts
of farm products from the West in tho
cotton growing states also exceed those
of last year.
With the close of the year tho South
finds itself doing pretty wull. Its iron
industries are all busy making ship
ments of their produot abroad. Its
cotton factories are running profitably,
while those of New England complain
of tbe competition. Capital and immi
gration both continue to come iuto this
section. Tho only thing that troubles
tbe South is the very low price of cot
ton.

BANK WRECKING.

tains the following:
Tho latnst hank wrecker pardoned
bv the president is William E. llarr of
Missouri, who embezzled 820,000 from
a St. Louis bank, and was sentenced
to five years in the peniteutiary. An
application was mnde to President
Cleveland for his pardon. Mr. Cleve
land took all Ihe papers in the ease,
went, through them carefully, and re
fused to interfere with the sentonco.
And not only that, but be wrote on the
back of tho papers a scathing denunci
ation of hank wreckers generally, and
of Barr particularly. President Mc
Kinley’s endorsement ou.the papers

Away back among the towering
mountains of East Tennessee the stu
dent of custims may still find material
for research. Those hardy people are
a nation unto themselves. The most
unique Christmas festivities are enjoy
ed by those honest creatures of nature;
principal among the many are the kiss
ing games, which still cling to the soil.
To witness ouo of these characteristic
plays is worth a visit to that land of the
sky. Time turns backward in its flight
and we recall a scene of 72. The huge
mountain yule log was ablaze in one
end of tho log chinked cabin. A lot
of big limbed, powerful young men
and apple-cheeked, buxom girls com
posed the company. Once assembled a
young man is selected as master of cer
emonies and the ball begins.
lie takes his station in the center of
the room, while tho rest pair off and
parade urottud him. Suddenly one
young woman will throw up her hands
and say:
“I am a pinin’. ”
The master of ceromonjcs takes it up,
and the following dialogue aud inter
locution takes place:
“Miss Arabella Jane Anthorpe says
she’s a-piuiu’. What is Miss Arabella
Jane Anthorpe a-pinin' fur?"
“I’m a-piniu’ fur a sweet kiss."
“Miss Arabella Jane Anthorpe says
Bite's a-pinin’ fur a Bweet kiss. Who
is Miss Aralialla Jane Anthorpe a-pin
iu’ far a sweet kiss from?"
“I’m B-piniu' for a sweet kiss from
Hugh Waddle" (blushes, convulsive
gigics and confusion on the part of
Miss Arabella Jane Anthorpe at this
forced confession.) Hugh Waddle
walks up muufully and relieves the
fair Arahalla's “pinin' ’’ by a smack
which sounds like a three-year-old
steer drawing his ho„f out of ihe mud
Then a young man will betaken with
a sudden aud unaccountable “pinin’,”
which, after tho usual exchanges of
questions and volunteered information,
reveals the name of the maiden who
causos the “gnawin’” and "pinin’.”
She coyly retreats outdoors, only to be
chased, overtaken, captured aud forci
bly compelled to relieve her captor's
distress.
At one of theso entertainments,
which it was the writer’s fortune to
attend, there wits a remarkably beauti
ful young wornau who had been marri
ed ah -ut a mouth. Her husbaud was
present, a huge, beetle-browed black
oyed mountaineer, with a fist like a
ham. The boy’s fought shy of the
bride, for fear of incurring the anger
of the hulking spouse The gamo went
on for some time, when symptoms of
irritation developed in the giaut. Start
ing to the middle of the room, he Baid:
"My wife'B ez pooty, 'n uz uieo,
sweet ez any gyttrl hyur. You uus lias
kuowu her all her life. This game hez
beonu-goin’ ou half an hour an' nobody
has pined fur her oncet. Ef some one
doesn’t pine fur hur pooty soon thar
will he trouble.”
She was the bolle of the hall after
that. Everybody pined for her.
EDUCATED JOURNALISTS.
A successful young woman journalist
was lately telling how she got her edu
cation iu newspaper writing. “In the
textbook of rhetoric at school," said
she, “we were taught that every piece
of writing should have first au intro
dnetion, then a body, then a conclu
sion. Full of this idea I began writing
for newspapers. Tho first thing the
editor did was to strike ont my intro
dnetion. The next thing he did was to
strike out the conclusion. He left on
ly the body and cut that down till not
much was left of it. Now I find that
the rhetoric I learned at school did tne
more harm than good.”
In the opinion of The Tisies-Recor
i>eu the experience of the young lady
is that of all college educated individ
ual!) who undertake journalism. The
on finance to a brilliaut piece of war
correspondence, describing a great bat
tie iu scientific military terms. Hi
finds his mistake when he enters actual
journalistic life, and discovers that uf
ter two years of chasing fires and police
court items lie has scarcely as yet
touched the outer fringe of real journal
ism. He has far less confidence iu his
ability to write au able editorial thau
ho had before he had done a line of
newspaper work. i
Tho first thing a person entering
cither journalism or literature is oblig
ed to do is to unload most of tho rub
bish of grammar aud rhetoric he learn
ed at school. If with the practical eye
of the trained writer he afterward looks
through the textbook of rhetoric or lit
erature he finds it a volume of non
sense mostly. The textbooks of gram
mar and rhetoric contain page after
page defining things that do not need a
definition, making tho pupil stuff his
head with lumbering rules that are
much better left off.
The way to write is to writo. Plutige
into the middle of what you have to
soy. Study carefully the words you
use. See that they express exactly
your meaning; no more and no less.
If you can give s humorous, pathetic,
picturesque turn to your thoughts, so
much the better. Make your language
os striking as possible without offeml-
ingjthc moral or icsthetio senso. Bnt
no rules of rhetoric—in heaven's name,
no rulct, of rhetorie! You will uncon
sciously work out for yourself your
own rules, and those arc tho only ones
that suit your case.

THE RU3KIN MILLAIS AFFAIR
On Thursday there died in England
a woman who had been the wife of two
of the most distinguished men of her
time, aud who in consequence of these
marriages had much of the romantio
in her career. Lady Millais, widow of
Sir John Millais, President of the Roy
al Academy, is the woman in question.
She died from cancer of the throat, the
nine diseaso which caused the death of
her husband on Atig. 13, 1890.
Millais was tho great English painter
of his day, and it was on account of
his art that led to his meeting and love
for the beautiful woman whom he af
terward married. Ettphemia Chalmers,
Lady Millais, was a daughter of George

was dangerous to her; that she risked
her life by nursing him. She, on her
part, could not hear to stab tho dying

So she utterly disobeyed the sur

“ It is now eight years ngo since I took
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,”
writes Mrs. Clara A. McIntyre, Box 171,
Ashland, Middlesex Co., Mass. “I took a
very bad cough, also night sweats, and was
almost in my grave, as we thought, with
consumption, when a friend of mine who
had died with consumption came to tne in
a dream and told tne to take I)r. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and, thank the
Lord, I did so. By the time I had taken
half of the first bottle 1 felt much better,
I kept on till I had tak«*n two *»r ^hre'* hot
tics, that was all 1 needed. I got well and
strong again.”
“I feel it my dutv to inform you of the
great good I have derived from using Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery,” writes
William Miller, of 651 Mulberry Street.
Reading, Pa. For the last nine years I
have been very poor in health ; suffered
with a running sore leg. I tried many kinds
of different medicines and doctors, but
without relief, until I was told to use yom
medicine which was recommended to me
by a fanner at the market. I went and
bought a bottle and had relief the second
day. 1 used that bottle and two others
besides and can say that I am entirely
cured, and now 1 can do a good day’s work
with the next man. I think Dr. Pierce’s
medicine is an invaluable remedy and one
which no household should be without.”
‘‘To repeat what I said to John T. Las
key, Esq.,” druggist, of Albion, N. Y., ‘I
would sav Dr. Pierce’s medicines have
been used in my family with the best rr
suits, the ‘Golden Medical Discovery
blood remedy, and the ‘ Favorite Prescrip
tion ’ for the numerous troubles peculiar to
females. I have recommended these raed
ieines to many of my numerous friends, and
the result has been, in every instance, like
a charm. I talk with many and recommend
the medicines on every occasion. I think
