soon as the boy attains a marriageable
age his lather and mother cast about
to find brill a wife.” The mother looks
arouuu carefully in all the harems of

ly and solely devoted to Turkish ladies
in the hou-eliolds of her friends.
When she finds a daiastd that she
thinks would make a nice, high-toned

with lull particulars, to the boy’i
father. It he likes the description,

the parties meet' there is a series of

While chatting with the proprietor

the other day he said: “I have just
dropped on to one or.two of the latest

small incomes. A dressmaker, whom
my wife went to see to-day, told her
tliat'she had a great variety of dresses
for the summer season which she
would hire, out on reasonable terms,

Now, ain’t that an idea! You see,
Miss De Smith can go to Long Branch
with seven evening dresses, and after
a week secures another fourteen, and
can Ulooin out in an entirely new set
for the following week. All these cos
tumes are made ii)>oii a sliding scale
basis, with big seams and Wide flounces,
which facilitate their being changed to
lit many sizes. You see that with four
sets of dresses the costumer can
change them from one watering place
to another, and thus serve four people
simultaneously, giving each a constant
succession of new toilets. For about
|25 a week the girls can have tlie use
of a wardrobe that couldn’t be du

Clay Allison, the cowman, who has

When about ewenty-oue years of
age he married the daughter of a pros
perous former of North Georgia, who
proved to be a most estimable little
lady, and did much to restrain her
husband’B reckless disposition.
Iu 1868 Steve arrived iu Snmter
county, Ala., and lived for a good
mauy months in almost hidden seclu
sion with an uncle, an ex-probate
judge of r»nmter. It was reported,
and circumstaucial -evidence was
strong against him, that lie was flee
ing from justice in Georgia—flint be
iiadJtUied a man I11 his native section,
and was hiding to escape the clutches
of the law.
. “1 shall uever forget the first time
that I saw him,” said the reporter's-
informant. "It was just about three
mouths after he arrived at his uncle’s,
and having been confined, ifor secrecy,
he was as fair and delicate looking as
a girl. Jle was just about twenty-
three years old, aud was dressed in
wliat 1 thought at tlie time was the
prettiest suit of clothes I had ever
seen—a homemade check, handsomely
worked and bound with silk braid.
He was a handsome, tidy young fel
low, and bis’ delicate features, fair
face and neat attire contrasted strik
ingly with the tawny, coarsely dressed
ex-soldiers of tlie dark day.*, of the
war. After he had remained with ids
uncle several mouths, his wife joined
him, and they Jived in Sumter, appa
rently happily until her death, which
occurred in a short time after her ar
rival. Her remains were interred iu
the burial ground of the Baptistphurch
o r that place.-
About a year after tlie death of hi-
wife Renfroe became marked in his at
tentions to a daughter of Dr. Sledge,
a highly respectable citizen of that
couuty, and cabling her affection, mar
ried her. They lived together five
or six yetrs, nt the end of which time
she died and was buried in the Metho
dist churchyard. A year or two af
terward* Renfroe bad her reinaius re
moved aud placed beside those of his
first wite, iu the Primitive Baptist
cemetery, and erected a handsome
marble monument to the memory of
the two.
Afterwards Renfroe married a Miss
Stone, of Liviugston, and lived with
her until after he was first charged
with embezzlement, after which she
left him, and is now living in Merid
ian, Miss.
Kenfroe was always looked on as a
leader in all kuklux or other desper
ate or daring undertakings, and there
is no doubt as to his having had a
great amount of reckless courage and
being a quick man ou tlie trigger.

Mr. Gladstone. has never been, my
ideal statesman. From the beginning
of hostilities i 11 America in 1861, to the
end of them iu 1865, L could not biiug
iiiyself to trust tlie judgments of Mr.
Davis. The Mississlpian’s great ex
perience iu public affairs, has accom
plishments almost excessive; his integ
rity and fidelity, his pure and perfect
faith in hiniselt, made no impression
ipou my uiuid. I think now, going
back and retracing the grounds,, that
this distrust did at times do hiui in
justice. All in all, lie did as well
might have been done, and it was just
uue of. tlie mercies of God that we dhj
not succeed. Mr. Gladstone appears to
me to be, repeating, historically, tlie
role of Mr. Davis.
As to who would right the wrongs
of Ireland, i believe no more in the ef
ficacy either of the-Home Rule Bill,
than 1 believe that secession would
prove a panacea for the grievances
complained of by the Southern States
of the Union, or secure the rights of
the South i.« the Territories. As far
tlie principle is concerned Mr.
Gladstone has the right pig by the ear.
But as practical measures, his bills are
full of impossibilities. They will uot
give order and |*eace to Ireland, but
raise up a state of confusion wich will
reaiQEe but little, if any improvement
«|*on the present situation. The Home
Buie Bill may pass its second reading,
it is idle to speculate about that, be-
•ause you will learn the result in
Commons before this letter can reach
•you. But, If it does, its passage will
record nothing more important tjian an
unexampled i>er$onal triumph to Mr.
Gladstone, unless' it be taken as a
milestone upon the high road of civ
ilization recording the progress of'the
journey of Democracy, in which latter
character it can only be considered as
little less than amazing. * H. W.

He had a simple fly-screen under
his arm, and he turned aside and
entered a little shop in Lafayette street,
cast.

flic cobbler, as he looked up.

Exactly, and I don’t propose
to hinder you. 1 am taking orders

I doan’ vliant some.”
That is to say, you propose to
sit in this shop all summer aDd encour

/on know how much time a man
loses in four months in striking at
flies?”
“L (loan’ figure upon him.”
“Of course you don’t but I have.
You will lo-e just two days In every
month. 'That’s eight days thrown
away, and not a fly killed. Now,
then—”
“I don’t vhaiit some fly-screens.”
“That is, you think vou don’t.
How many cubic feet of air do you
think comes through that door in four
months?”
“Maype six.”
“Mabe millions! How much
dust do yon suppose accompanies that
air?”
“I vtms very busy.”
“Exactly, but more than two bush
els of dust enter this shop by way of
that door, and you inhale at least half
of it. How many microbes accompany
the dust?”
“Dis shop vhris under mortage you
see.”
“That’s all right, but for ten hours a
day you inhale 100cholera microbes

“Urn! maybe I moof awhay to Chi

“Suppose you do. A fly-screen door
is portable property. There are flies
ami dust and microbes in Chicago as
well as 1 >et rpii. Do you want to die of

“If I die it vhas all right. If I live
I haf to work all der time. I vhas a

"Certainly yon are, but the ques

"You don’t! If you don’t Want a

The shoemaker jumped and locked
the door as soon as the man was out.
For a moment they glared at each

the fly-screen man said:

Curiosities of Digestion.
New York Mercury.
The once celebrated Arbuthnot in
sisted tiiat the human stomach is
kitchen, while Dr. Beaumont, in his
experiments on $t. Martin, whose
stomach was seen plainly fora long
time during hours o. digestion through
an orifice made by a guushot wound,
showed that tlie organ was a sort ot
dining-room. Two recent experi
menters have made the stomach
study, aud now the questiou arises
What fluid really agrees with it?
Signor Ogata, of Italy, experimented
on a dog, and reached a fair. conclu
sion as to the effects of certain bever
ages on human beings generally. He
took advantage of a stomachal fistula
which afterward healed. He found
that water, tea and coffee, in moder
ate quantities, have no effect ou diges-
tiou, aud hence tlie common idea not
to drink water during a meal is falla
cious. Beer, wiue and brandy retard
the action of tlie gastric juice until ab
sorption takes place. Sugar makes
digestion difficult, while salt helps it.
A surprise is in reserve. Dr. Ghelt-
sofi*, according to that high medical
authority, the London Lancet, lately
experimented on the effects of the best
known bitter extracts, and found that
the “pure bitters” usually prescribed
for dyspeptics or persons suffering
from other and. less serious digestive
ailments, instead of stimulating, ac
tually depress the stomach and injure
digestion. They do not aid, but re
tard, the flow of the gastric juice. In
large doses, that indispensable agent
of. digestion is actually diminished,
while small doses bring, as the doctor
says, “a slight and transitory in
crease” of the juice. Some 01 the bit
ter extracts iuerease the secretion of
bile, while others have no effect; but
in nearly all cases tlie result is either
unsatisfactory or injurious. This is
bail iiews for’aged ladies who take to
their morning bitters as elixirs of life,
and for venerable gentlemen wno de
light to have tiieir cocktails dashed
with bitter extracts as a prouioier of
longevity and as an assistant eye-
"jetjier. “Bring me my boots and my
!tters” wit. cease to be a matutinal
order, if Dr. Cheltsoff be extensively
read. Men do not need bitters to keep
healthy any more tliau women. Ex
ercise in the opeu air, cessation 1 from
work when miud or body grow tin*
least weary, regular hours, plain,
mixed diet, a good conscience and
pleasant company, will prolong a life
which will be worth the living. If
not, then indigestion, downright dys
pepsia, insomnia and death.

Black the Heels of Four Boots.
A book has just been issued by Mr.
William A. Mowry, that contains the
following story:
“Oueday, when I was in a college
I heard a young lady say, ‘I don
think much of college fellows.’
“To my querry as to the grounds of
so singular an opinion, she replied:
“ ‘They do not black the heels of
their boots.”
“When I protested that that charge
could not be true of them all, she re
sponded :
‘Oh, no, I suppose not; battheex-
ception proves the rule. I have no
ticed that most of them only black the
frout part of their boots; ami they like
reversible collar^ and cuflS>.* ”
What does it indicate when the heels
« f boots are uot blacked? The boy is
1 ot tfiorongh. He only does what he
i 4 forced to do. If he thought he would
1 .ass muster among people if he.did
j:Ot black his boots at all, they would
never be blackened.
Boys laugh at girls and say they pay
too much attention to clothes. How
io the boys like to see their sisters with
.-oiled collars, buttons off their boots, a
raffle banging on their dress? It Is the
•tvidence of a true gentleman or a lady
when the clothing worn is in order aud
mi table to the occasion.
Dress and the way it is worn is au
indication of character. If. tlie heels
»f the boots are blacked, you may be
wreity sure that the boy or man is thor-
>ugh in whatever he undertakes. He
earns his lessons, not because be must,
•>ut be *anse he desires toleani. When
le is sent to clean up the garden he

POLICEMAN'S VIEWS.
Mrs. M. M. Prince, living at 38
West Fair St. Atlanta Ga., lias been
troubled for several months with an
ugly form of catarrh, attended with a
copious and offensive discharge from
both nostrils.
Her system became so affected and
reduced that she was confined fo bed at
my house for some time, aud received
the attention of three physicians, and
used a dozen bottles of an extensively
advertised blood remedy all without the
least beuefit.
She finally commenced the use of B.

once, aud when ten bottles had been
used, she was eutirely cured of ail
symptoms of catarrh.
It gave her au appetite, and increas
ed her strength rapidly, and 1 cheer

PALL H. HAYNE.
“The Late Beiuorwr of Loved’
Tlie Charleston Xeies and Courier of
the 9th iust. saj’s:
Paul Hayne could not conic home to
die; bnthe can, at least.be brought
here, to his home, to sleep for aye in
the land which through him is conse
crate.
There is unutterable pathos in wliat
Paul Hayne wrote of South Carolina,
and ot Charleston, and It is not too
much to imagiue that, even in his
latest moments lie told himself, as the
sunset faded and the twilight was gone,
that the exile, the wearied sojourner,
would :uid must be called b ick home.
Paul Hay lie’s dust must mingle with
the dust of tlals State of his love and
his desire, h e can claim him jiow,
even if Charleston did seciu cold'to
him iu tlie days that are gone.
As a companion piece to this we re
produce an editorial ‘which' appeared
in the Chronicle on November 1,1885
Concluding iiis valuable, attractive
and beautiful sketches of Charleston
as It was before the war, Paul Hayne
says:
“Oil, Queen! Oh, JIadre imperials,
“when the sunset has faded, and the
“twilight gone, and the night descend-
“ed, wilt thou not call the wearied
“exile home?
PHe wo*dd fain sleep-within the
“sound of thy waters, under, the
“shadow of thy immemorial oaks, near
“the sacred dust of his fathers!”
In spite of bis long residence among
the Gimrgia pines, in an ideal spot,
consecrated by love, sacrifice, intel
lect and not a little happiness that
comes to the magician who has been
true to his art and dear to tlie Muse,
Mr. Hayne seems to have ahome-sick-
ness which lias outlasted torture tiud
time. He must feel that Georgia ad
mires and ioves him, and we know
that he reciprocates the kindness of
our State and people. . But, none the
less, his loyalty to the imperial moth
er, South Carolina, has proved strong
er than aught else, and, in oup pas
sionate, longing, outcry, he makes a
voice of the wind that becomes music
as It sweeps over tlie haunting city
and broods upon the illimitable main
It has always been a favorite imag<
of ours that the man who was bom by
the si» resembled the pal 111 tree, which,
a true native of the coast, never thrives
so well as when its very roots are laved
bjr tlie ocean. Transplanted inland, it
will live and fructify, but leans forever
toward its billowy birth-place.
And so, the singer of Charleston,
who, by some stress or providence, has
long lingered on a Georgia hfil,. made
memorable and sacred by his presence,
turns his adoring glance* to the ancient
sanctuary, where his youthful genius
was cherished, and where too, gazing
iijwii the loug wash of waters, he could,
in imagination liehohl, ns the English
bard did, the Queeu of Love emerge
from her foamy nest and hear "old
Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
