"Were vou with the army ?" inquir ed a commercial traveler, who had tilted his chair against a tree just outside the hotel. "Of course," replied the first speaker, spreading his feet apart aud swaying backward and forward. "That's what made it exciting." "I didn't see you mentioned in any of the reports," remarked the person who is always making an effort to humble somebody's pride. "Oh, I've been mentioned in a lot of them," was the genial reply. "People who know anything about such matters admit that some of the best work of the campaigu was done by me. One of the best things I did was to take two Spanish officers and seven privates." "All by yourself?" "Certainly. I didn't have a bit of assistance. The next day I went out and took a lot of cavalrymen." "How many ?" inquired the skeptic, whose face showed traces of mingled surprise and suspicion. "Oh, I didn't stop to count 'em." "Didn't you get wounded ?" asked ho man who was leanine against the tree. "Once or twice I got a little scratch, such as a man is always liable to when he is knocking around in that way. The next thing I did after I got through with the cavalrymen was to take a lot of commissary wagons belonging to the Spanish, and I followed that up by taking a castle on the morning of the next day and a fort in the afternoon." "Mister," said the disagreeable man, slowly and with indignation, "here in Washington we see some of the finest specimens of almost anything you can call to mind; but I wish to state, and I may remark incidentally that I come from Texas and fully realize the' responsibility I assume, that you are the biggest liar who ever walked on Pennsylvania avenue." The good natured raconteur looked very angry for a moment, but the expression of his face gradually mellowed into one of gentle reproach. He merely answered : "I ain't nothing of the kind. I'm a photographer."'?Washington Star. An Unexpected Answer.?During the progress of the trial of the case of Widow Matthews against the Elevator Company in the circuit court recently, Colonel Sluyback, counsel for tne defendant, conceived the idea that one Murphy, a witness for the plaintiff, was a suitor for the hand of the widow, and on the eve of leading her to the altar. Getting Murphy on the stand, the lawyer endeavored to bring this fact before the jury, and this was the upshot of the examination : "Mr. Murphy, are you any relation to the plantiff?" "No, sir, I am not." "Don't you expect to be?" "Such a thing might happen." "Now, are you not going to marry her ?" "I'm afraid not." "You are afraid you won't, eh ? Well, now don't you expect to marry her ?" "If my wife should die, and the widow remain single till then, such a thing might happen." The jurors and spectators burst into a roar of laughter, and Murphy chuckled at the cunning manner in which he had drawn the lawyer on. The colonel had nothing more to say on the matrimonial question. Spontaneous Eloquence.?Not unfrequently the Irish peasant utters a saying which amounts to genuine spontaneous eloqueuce. When Charles Gavan Duffy, defeated iu his struggles to make Ireland independent, was about to sail for Australia, a number of Irishmen gathered about him to say good-by. One of them brought an old prayer-book, on a blank page of which he asked Duffy to write his name. One of his companions, who was provided with a more presentable, volume, said: "It's a shame, Tom, to offer such a book to Mr. Duffy for his signature." "Arrah," retorted Tom, "why should not I offer it to him ? Isn't it like himself, tattered and torn in the service of God and the people?" An old man was on his knees at the roadside, breaking stones. The minister who was considered not overdevout addressed him. "Ah, John, I T .-tniiM krnolr tVin cfnnu hpfirt nf my hearers as easily as you break those stones!" "Ye should try my plan, sir," said John. "Gang to your knees!" JST "What is your husband's politics ?" asked the new neighbor. "Jim," said the lady addressed. "Jim, he's an anti." "Anti what ?" "Xo, not antiwhat ; jist a anti. He's agin any*! iL.i 1 1 imng boat uappeus iu uc. JfiT Misstress?Bridget, where are the oyester crackers that I ordered ? "Faith, mum, an' I broke ivery wan av thim, and divil av an oishter could I find in one, an' I sint thim straight back." IST Bertha's mother saw fit to punish her for some little naughtiness. After a minute the child sobbed out, "Well, mamma, that hurt; you whipped me right where there weren't any bones." IfiT "Why are you trying to get your feet wet, Robbie?" "Well, mamma bought me some cough Byrup, and I can't use it all up unless I take more cold." gUisceUancous ^carting. THE PURCHASE OP WIVES. There are many countries in which, if a man wishes to be legally married, he has to go out and buy a wife, though the market price of the article varies considerably. In Uganda you can get what you require for two or three bullocks, or even for six good sewing needles, or perhaps a box of percussion caps; while inferior wives can be picked out in exchange for a V flP J. A ~ a coat, and, 11 one is inainereui, tu health and beauty, for a pair of shoes. In the Caroline Islands wives are cheap. A father will let you marry his daughter if you give him a little fruit or a small present of fish ; while in Samoa matrimony runs you into pigs and canoes; among the Fijians, into whales' teeth and muskets. In Tartary it is best to marry beneath you (you can do it on a few pounds of butter,) because a man who had lordly notions of a marriage with one of the upper ten must be an owner of horses. The aboriginese of Australia manage their marriages on a most equitable principle. If A wishes to marry B's sister, he allows him to marry his own ; or, if B happens to be a widower, then his daughter will do just us well. One of the most objectionable forms of gaining a wife is to work for her, a habit practiced among many uncivilized nations, its only advantage being that a man can get a wite on credit, though his father-in-law takes good care that he serves his tr j. Among some races you have to do your work before you get your wife, as Jacob had to serve for Leah and for Rachel. Marriage by exchange and purchase is not customary among uncivilized nations only. In Central America and Peru a man has to work for his bride. In China a present is given by the father of the bridegroom, the amount of which is agreed upon by both families. The Japanese make use of a similar custom, though, in their case, the giving of presents is the most important part of the entire marriage ceremony, for after these have been delivered and formally accepted neither of the contracting parties is able to go back. Wife purchase appears to have been the basis of Indo-European marriage before the separation of the peoples took place. Manu mentions the Asura form of marriage as one of purchase, and according to Aristotle ancient Greeks were in the habit of buying their brides, for in the Homeric age a maiden was called by a name which signified "one who brings her parents many oxen." The old Scandinavians believed that even the gods had paid a price for their wives, and iu Germany the expression "to purchase a wife" was in vogue until the end of the middle ? '"PL.** IwLnKifnnfo Trolon/1 ? IIO UlU iuuauikauia ui and Wales were accustomed to buy their wives with gold and silver or land. In Servia, at the beginning of our century, girls had reached such a price that Black George reduced their value to one ducat. Among many savage nations the equivalents of a wife are varied and grotesque. Poor Bashkirs purchase theirs with cartloads of wood or hay; the Indian Kisans, with two baskets of rice and a ruppe; a tribe in California with a string of dcntahum shell; and among the Padams, a rude people of India, the suitor shows his intentions by gift3 of field mice and squirrels. USES OF CATS. There are many curious facts about cats that are not known to the general public, especially as to the use to which the animal is put. For instance, the Chinese utilize cats as clocks. They say that the pupils of their eyes grow steadily narrower until 12 noon, when they are like fine hair lines, gradually dilating after that hour. By this way a Chinaman finds out the time when a clock is not handy. Cats have a commercial importance in certain lines of trade. Marine insurance does not cover damages done to the cargo by the depredations of rats, but if the proprietor of the merchandise injured can prove that the ship was not furnished with a cat he can recover compensation from the vessel owner. A ship that is found under certain circumstances without a living creature on board is considered a derelict, and property rights in her are forfeited. It has frequently oc/Mirrorl nftpr thfi nrpw hud been lost or the ship otherwise abandoned, that a live canary, domestic fowl, or more often a cat, being discovered on board, has saved the vessel from being condemned. For this reason a shipowner seldom sends a ship to sea without a cat. Cats were first domesticated by the ancient Egyptians. On a tomb erected about 1300 B. C., puss first appears as a domesticated creature, being shown seated beneath a chair. Cats were worshipped in Egypt, and behind a temple at Beni Hassan great pits have been found containing multitudes of cat mummies. When a cat died a natural death in au Egyptian house the occupants went into mourning and shaved off their eyebrows. A few years ago there was a discovery made of a great cave in Egypt which wais filled with thousands of mummified cats. These were dug out, exported to England and were sold at the rate of four pounds a ton for manure. Some of them, however, were carefully unwrapped and dissected for scientific purposes, and were found to be similar to the cat of today. New Kind of War.?General Joe Wheeler, in a recent talk with a correspondent at Washington said that he thought he knew a great deal of war from his four years' of fighting for the Confederacy; but the four weeks at Santiago revealed new things to him. "During the civil war," he said, "we fought at close range, and there was tremendous noise and smoke. In this war the raDge of fire was 800 yards or more; there was very little noise, and the use of smokeless powder disposed of the smoke of battle. It seemed 9trange to me, when the fightiDg first began, not being able to see any smoke, hearing none of the ordinary noise, and seeing the men fall about me. I saw probably the first man struck in the fight. He was near me, and I went to him just as he had fallen, and could see no mark where he had been struck, though he was in the last agony of death and died in a few minutes. 1 heard no noise. I had seen nothing and could not even see the wound on him, and yet he was there dying. We undid his belt, and there was just the least hole where the ball had gone right through his body. The range of fire was so great with the modern guns that distance seemed to make little difference in the matter of danger. There is no such thing as seeking safety in the rear of the line of fire. When we got up to within 500 yards, practically the whole army was exposed to the fire, those in the rear being in danger, as well as those forward." SIXTEENTH CENTURY DRESS. Extravagance in dress reached its zenith in the sixteenth century, the Tudor period in England. This was the period of silken hose. Doubtlets were slashed, that is to say, fine and costly pieces of cloth were let into them. Shoes were of velvet or satin, with elaborate ornaments upon them. Hats were made of beaver, and were very costly, or of velvet, into which costly jewels or rare feathers were inserted. Hall, the chronicler, gives a detailed account of the dress of Henry VIII. He wore a coat of velvet, embroidered with gold or damask. The sleeves were cut and lined with cloth of cold. The garments were tied to o * gether with great buttons of diamonds, rubies and orient pearls. Shirts were plaited and embroidered with gold, silver or silk. Over all he would wear a cloak of rich and varied fur. The dress of ladies was almost as rich and extravagant. In the early part of the century the steeple headdress that projected almost a yard above the head was worn. Besides this, rich stomachers were worn, and dresses in endless variety of valuable stuff. Much jewelry was also worn. The reason for this display and extravagance is to be found in the fact that the nobility after the Wars of the Roses was an upstart nobility, atoning for its novelty by its splendor. The Tudors were also eager to benefit the commercial classes by bringing a variety of trade to them. Henry VIII. moreover was endowed with a great love for personal adornment. He gave a great impetus to extravagant habits by the splendor with which he met Francis I. on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Renaissance also, with its Italian origin, had spread to England, and revived the taste for the ornate and the beautiful. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

LANCASTER?Review, August 24: A Negro boy named Ed Blackmon was brought to town Friday and lodged in jail charged with attempted rape on a daughter of Mr. Frank Philips, of Longsville. He effected an entrance into the room where the girl was asleep ; but his presence was discovered before he had time to put his vile hands upon her. Editor Clark always looks clean and fresh ; but we thought that he looked cleaner and fresher than usual; and our impression was confirmed when we saw the following in his Saturday's journal: "The editor of The Enterprise spent several days receitly surf bathing at Tybee, on the seacoast below Savannah, Ga." Enterprise, August 24: Mr. Samuel Crimminger's dwelling, situated in the Pleasant Hill section, was destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock last Saturday morning. Most of his household effects were destroyed. The building was the old Floyd residence, and at the time of the fire belonged to Mr. Robert Floyd, of Kershaw. The origin of the fire is unknown. If there was any insurance on the property we are unadvised of it. Ledger, August 24 : A washout occurred on the O. R. & C. railroad between this place and Rock Hill last Friday night. It was a fill about 30 feet long. Passengers, baggage and mail bad to be transferred at the point of the washout for a day or so, causing all trains to be late; but they are now running on schedule time.

CHEROKEE?Gaflhey Ledger, August 25: Andy Forteubery, a wellknown blacksmith of this city, and David DeStaffino, a well-known character, engaged in a difficulty, Monday. Andy is a somewhat larger man than David, and in order to make things more equal, David pulled bis little gun and plugged Andy in the arm. The wound is not serious, and Andy will, in all probability, be able to resume his work in a short time. Friday evening David DeStaffino and George Wilson got into a difficulty, during the course of which David, following the example of his Biblical namesake, proceeded to slay his antagonist with a stone. Wilson was painfully but not seriously hurt. James Wiley and Ben Holmes engaged in a difficulty Saturday night, in which the latter was pretty severely hurt by being hit with a rock. Wiley was arrested and piacea in me guaranouse to uwuit tue result of Holmes' injury. Sometime in June a Negro man named Morris killed another Negro man named Camp in this county, since which time Morris has been at large until Saturday, when he was arrested and lodged in jail by Mr. William Phillips. The September term of court for Cherokee county convenes next Monday week, Judge Gage, of Chester, presiding. Judge Gage is a new judge, having been elected by the last general assembly. This term of court gives promises of being a very interesting one. There will be one case of murder besides a number of minor criminal cases. Friday afternoon a Negro by the name of John Jefferies, who had been separated from his wife, went to see her at the home of Isiah Corry, who lives on land belonging to the Gaffney Land and Improvement company, and endeavored to persuade her to return to him. His persuasive powers were not adequate, so be determined to use force. Pulling out a pistol he began to shoot at his wife. He managed to hit her one time, inflicting a flesh wound in the arm. In his wildness, however, he shot three of Isiah's children. They were nine years, four years and nine months old, respectively. Only flesh wounds were inflicted on each of them. Jefferies, believing, no doubt, that he bad killed the woman and children, went to a branch about a fourth of a mile distant, put the point of the r>iotn1 korrol in kia month and nnf, a I ball through his head. He succeeded iu killing himself; hut fortunately did no serious damage to any one else. GASTON?Gastonia Gazette, August 25: Messrs. Edgar and Robert Love are sufficiently recovered from typhoid fever to be able to ride out. Tbey have been up town a time or two during the past week, and were congratulated by many friends upon their returning health. Little Nell, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wiley, died last Friday after a lingering illness, aged about 17 months. Rev. Messrs. Shields and Clark conducted a brief service at the home, and the little body was taken to Burlington, Saturday evening, for burial, at the old home of the parents. This sorely bereaved father and mother have the sympathies of many friends. A pocket knife that has served well its day and generation is in the possession of Mr. T. J. Womble, of South Point. It is a 4-blade pearl handle knife, and was given to his mother by Mr. Womble's brother, just before .his death, and he died 63 years ago when a young man. How loug the knife had been in use before that, is not known. It has been in the family ever since. All the blades show the effect of long usage, being worn almost as keen as needles. Captain R. C. G. Love is now footloose and fancy-free in business matters. When congratulated on having a chance to take a deserved holiday and asked what next, he answered, as merrily as a schoolboy, "Run for the legislature, I reckon." He sold bis entire stock in the old mill, amounting to $80,300, to Messrs. John Love and George Gray. The deal was made and the owners took charge last Tuesday. The "Old Mill," as it is now popularly called, the first venture Gastonia made in mill-building, is one of the most prosperous in the south. It was started in 1888?10 years ago this fall?and has since then paid its stock-1 holders in dividends $1.40 for every dollar they had in it?an average of 14 per cent, a year straight through for 10 years. Master Frank Costner took a violent header from his wheel Tuesday night in which his arm was broken. It was about the time the Narrow Gauge passenger came up to the station. He and some other boys were spinning along Main street in front of the old Central hotel. An old dipper handle caught in the rear wheel, smashed it, and threw the rider violently upon the hard street. Jim Killian was so close behind that he ran over Frank's disabled bicycle, but was not thrown by it. Suffering very great pain, Frank was carried to Dr. Adams' office, where the doctor found one of the small bones of the forearm to be broken just above the wrist. He set it promptly, and the next morn ing Frank was up bright and early feeling much better, but still paying gentle attentions to bis arm. Rock Hill Items.?Governor Ellerbe ha? appointed E. Ross Tompkins, of Rock Hill, second lieutenant of one of the four companies of the second regiment mustered in service. His assignment has not been published. Mrs. Gillespie, the venerable mother of Mr. R. T. Gillespie, arose last Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, and after doing so fell and received injuries to one of her hips from which she is suffering very much. She is 83 years of HKe* V. Brown McFadden still holds his own as a brag farmer. His corn this year is a joy to behold and every acre of his cotton is a premium crop. Brown ought to be a happy man.
