ASBORTTAU'
It is not our intention to sermon
ize. If you attend church Sunday,
as you should, you, no doubt, had
enough of that; but we wish to spea’:
of a few matters that appertain to
the things of this world. You recall
that last week we spoke of “Ball’s
and Kabo Corsets,” “Hair Oint
raents” and “Handkerchiefs.” Well,
you would have been surprised to
see these articles just take wings
and sail out of our front door. If
we hadn’t had a good full stock we
couldn’t have met the demands, but
then it is no trouble to make sales
when you have a Hist quality article
that you are selling at a second rate
price, such things sell themselves, as
the French say, or may be it’s the
Dutch that say that, but no differ
ence.
Now this week we want to speak
of a line of goods much more inter
esting to our charming lady friends,
and for which we boldly claim a
clear ascendancy over our competi
tors in this city.
We refer to Ladies’ and Children’s
Underwear. We have these goods
in the greatest profusion, both in
design and quality—Muslin and
< ambric—and all imported from
that quaint little city of New York.
The city isn't much larger than
Brunswick, but it is the great mar
ket of the world for this sort of
goods.
But to return to the subject, we|
will be delighted to show you these
goods trimmed with Embroideries
and Laces.
4nd then our
Spanish and Van Dyke
Laces are simply ravishing. When
we speak of anything “Spanish” our
soul is at once drowned in a vision
of dark, waving hair and melting An
dalusian eyes. We know you cannot
look upon these goods without some
buck emotions. We want to direct
your attention particularly to the
beautiful designs in Van Dyke Laces
in Black. White and Cream.

I The Primitive Method of Calling Serv
ant* at a Sulphur Springs Hotel.
Think of a grand hotel where the
room numlters run as high as 799 being
without an elevator! It is easier to
elimb Prospect mountain back of the
Colonnade row of cottages than it is to
mount the various stairways to the top
floor Perhaps some time in the near
future there will be further concessions
to the spirit of modem improvement.
The field exists. Hero is a hotel with a
parlor half as large again as the east
room of the White House. It has a
i long dining room, with two rows of
columns. If you stand nt one end and
shout you can’t be beard at the other.
Twelve hundred people can sit down to
the 150 tables without any sense of
crowding. This hotel covers more than
an acre of ground. It doesn’t contain
a bathroom. It has no annunciator.
Some day the guest may be able to
press a buttou and make his existence
known to the office a quarter of a mile
away. At present the method is to
open your door, stick out your head
and “holler.’' To the credit of White
Sulphur it can bo said that two or
three “hollers’’ will usually do.
The servant system is peculiar to
White Sulphur. It works as satisfac
torily as such a system can. Southern
ers like it, for it reminds them of old
times Northerners do not object so
long as the charm of novelty wears.
To every hallway in the big hotel are
assigned a floor man and a couple of
cliambermaids. They are not (H-rt.
They are colored men and women who
learned the ways of faithfulness and
politeness when there was SSOO differ
ence between a house servant and a
field hand in “Virginuy.” Most of
these servants had “ben a-comin' to
ole White, sab, sence befo’ the wall.”
They their little rooms |»irtitioned
off at the ends of the halls or across
the stairway landing, and there they
Live and sleep so as to respond prompt
ly to the calls of guests.
If my young lady, coming up from
the ballroom at fifteen minutes before
midnight, thinks of some message she
wants to give the chambermaid, she
taps with her hand on the door knob
and calls:
"Lucy 1”
A pause. “Lu cyl" This time a lit
tle louder, and another pause. Then
again, “Oh, Lucy!"
From down the hall comes by this
time the sleepy reply:
• ‘ Ya-as’m. 1 'se coinin’. ”
There is a shuffling of feet along the
hallway matting, and then a conversa
tion hi a low tone. The voice of file
belle says a little louder at the close:
* ‘ Remember, Lucy I ”
The voice of the chambermaid re
plies.
“Ya-as’m.”
The door closes. The shuttling sound
i passes back down the hall and dies
away. Fifteen or twenty people in ad
jacent rooms turn over in bed and try
to go to sleep again. Nobody thinks
of kicking. It is only one of the White
Sulphur ways.—Sulphur Springs Cor.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A Lightning Episode.
A colored man, about 40 years of
age, entered police headquarters yes
terday with his head tied up and said
to the sergeant:
“Boss, I want your opinyun. Look
at dis head an’ tell me what you think
of it."
“I think somebody gave you a pretty
good whack with a club,” replied Hlie
officer.
“Was it a club?”
“It was a weapon of some sort.”
“Wasn’t I hit by lightning?”
“Lightning? No."
“Wasn’t Ixit by lightning las’ nite?”
“How could you be, when there was
no thunder storm last night?”
“'Zactly—’zactly. Dat's all.”
“How did you get it?”
“Woke up dis mawnin’ wid de ole
woman standin’ ober de bed. She laid
It on to de lightnin’, but de mo’ I think
de mo’ I didn’t believq it. I’ze suah
now."
“And you”
“Well, I’ze gwine homo to make de
biggest thunder sto’m you eber heard
toll of. An’ if de lightnin’ doan’ strike
mighty clus to my house at least a
dozen times den I won't say a word
when de patrol wagin comes!”—Detroit

John Fiske.
It is a curious fact and one not wide
ly known of John Fiske, the writer, !
that lus real name is not John Fiske at
all, but Edmund Fiske Green. He
was born in Hartford, Conn., forty
eight years ago, the only child of Ed
mund and Mary Fiske Green. While
yet a mere boy his father died, and
three years later' Mrs. Green married
the Hou. Edwin W. Stoughton, United"
States minister to Russia. Up to this
time the lad had been known as Ed
mund Fiske Green, but after this, for
some reason of his own, he dropped his
father's family name, retaining that of j
his mother, Fiske, and adopted in place
of the baptismal “Edmund" the name
of Lis maternal great-grandfather,
“John." and thus he became John
Fiske, a name which he has retained
and honored ever since,—New York
Evening Sun.

HIE EVENING POST: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1890.
A BARBER TRIES TO BE AGREEABLE.
How Hi* Pleasantries Are Taken by aCus-
I turner Who Im Fall of Good Will to Men.
The customer took his seat in the
barber's chair full of good will to the
world in general, which included, of
course, the barber shop he had entered
and the barber who was about to man)
him.
“Hair cut?” asked that worthy, and |
he immediately began digging at the
customer's collar l>one as only a barber
can dig. while apparently adjusting the
towel about his neck.
“Hair getting pretty thin on top,” he
continued as lie snipped his scissors
through the locks.
The man in the chair still retained
his g*M>d will, though one of the most
trying things for the ordinary man to
hear is that be is showing one of the
I first signs of old age —a bald head.
“And no wonder, either,” continued
the wielder of the scissors, “since 1
never saw a head so chock full of
dandruff as your head is. It's awful.”
The man talked to winced. But
perhaps the fact that the shears snipped ■
uncomfortably close to his ear had
I much to do with his wincing as did the
barber's words. That worthy at once
saw another opportunity to make him
self agreeable, for he laughed pleas
antly and said, “Almost clipped a
piece off then, didn’t I?” “But,” he
added, realizing that he was getting off
| a remarkable joke, “it is of such a size
that it can lose quite a large piece with
out any discomfort.”
The customer was conscious that his
good will could not last long. The
i barber, however, had started his con
versation with an object, and reverted
to his original remark: “Yes, all that
dandruff is bound to make you bald
headed in less than no time. I have
just the stull that will cure you of all
{ that and start the growth of your hair
I in its original thickness.”
The customer saw that the barber—
who was but human, after all—had an
I object in making his personal remarks,
so softened down to his former good
humor.
“Ah! what do I see!” exclaimed the
clipper in mock horror; “a gray hair?
Another one, and another one? Oh, it
won’t be long before what’s left, on
your head will be as white as snow.
You had bettor let me sell you a con
coction that will put a stop to that."
The man in the chair didn’t make all
the answer he was prompted to make.
With a great effort he merely said, “I
guess not today.” The mildness of
that answer by no means showed how
much of the great good will he felt to
ward mankind on entering the shop
had been exhausted. «
“Now for a shave!” cheerfully said
the man of no taet, as he readjusted
the towel after having thrust, under
pretence of brushing them away, sev
eral clumps of cut hair down his vic
tim’s back. “And I tell you you need
it, too. I guess you haven't cored to
see yo# best girl lately, have you.'
And ho chuckled gleefully over his sally
of wit.
“But my,” lie went on to-say, un
mindful of the clouds that were gather
ing on the face before him. “What a
condition your skin is in! There's no
excuse for those spots all over your
nose and your forehead, too! How it
has been neglected I I've got just the
thing for all that. One bottle will do,
and if you will come in every day for
the next week 1 11 make applications,
and your skin will be as smooth and as
fair as a baby's. What? No powder?
I Nothing on your hair? Not even brush
it ? Well, I declare,” as the door slam
med on the receding figure, “what a
cross grained cuss it is. I shouldn't
have thought it. ” —New York Evening
Sun.
The Albert medal of the English So
ciety of Arts has been awarded to Dr.
W. 11. Perkin, F. F. S., “for his dis
covery of the method of obtaining col
oring matter from coal tar, a discovery
which led to the establishment of a i
new and important industry, and to the I
utilization of large quantities of a previ |
ously worthless material.”
A pretty story comes from England
about a poor shepherd who was also a
geologist, geographer and an admirer
of Stanley. Stanley’s publisher met
tills man while walking on Beachy
Head, and was charmed with his learn- j
ing. The shepherd offered the publish- ,
era pound—pretty much all his hard
earned savings—and asked if it would
pay for Stanley's book, promising to
send the balance of the money as soon
ias possible. The publisher says the
| shepherd shall receive his money back
| again ami a copy of “Darkest Africa"
with Stanley’s autograph in it.

THE FIREMEN'S MEETING.
A Full Attendance At Defiance
Hall Last Nlßht.
In response to a call from the
foreme i, the Oceanic and Defiance
volunteer fire companies met last
night at Defiance hall.
The meeting was called to order
’ by foreman Campbell, and upon mo
tion, chief Merrifield was made
chairman.
The S3OO which was given to Mr.
Merrifield some days ago, by Mr.
White andJSupt. Haines,was divided
equally between the two companies.
A vote of thanks to these two gentle
men for the liberal donation was
passed unanimously.
Speeches were made by foremen
Joerger and Campbell, and a com
mittee of three members from each
company was appointed to meet ami
| have a conference for the benefit >f
their organizations.
After a rousing speech by Chief
Merrifield, the firemen agreed to
remain together ami to hold them
selves ready nt all times to respond
to any call of duty.
Announcement was made that the
Oceanics would hol<l a meeting in
their hall next Tuesday night, for the
transaction of very important busi
ness. 'l'he meeting then adjourned.
Through negligence we have
omitted to mention Kalo Cor
sets. They never break at the
waist nor rolj up. if they do,
we will cheerfully refund the
money. The steels may break,
the best of steels have their
limits of strength, but Kabo
has no breaking limit; it doesn't
break at all. The Kabo Cor
set is perfect in form also.
