Sought to-win her for his brido; And the basso Loved the lass so, Day and night for her he sighed. The demeanor Of the tenor To the basso frigid grew ; And the basso, AB he was so Mashed, of coarse, grew frightened, too. Anna smiled on Both, which piled on To their mutual hatred fuel ; So to win her, Bass and tenor Swore they'd fight a vocal duel. Shrieked the tenor Like a Vennor Cyclone howling o'er the plain, Sang so high To outvie The bass, he split his bead in twain.

Morehead, President of the National Cotton Planters' Association, has ac cepted the position of Commissioner General of the North and South American Exposition, which opens here November 10th. The following well known business men have been appointed Special Commissioners un -der the Comminsiouer-General, who to day took charge of the work out side the city: Col. R. 0. Wood, terri tory North of Alabama to Louisville, with headquarters at Louisville; Gen. Wm. Owen, territory of Southern Ohio, with headquarters at Cincinnati; J. P. Stagg, territory of Georgia and the Carolinas, with headquarters at Atlanta; B. T. Walsh, territory of Arkansas and Texas. All the Com missioners leay? to-night for their re spective stations. The work of pre paration has gone forward smoothly under the present management, and it is believed the coming Exposition will eclipse the late one in interest. The President Appoints His Broth er-in-Law Bacon. The secretary of the treasury has appointed N. B. Bacon to be superin tendent of the custom house at Toledo, 0. Mr. Bacon is a broth?r-in-law of President Cleveland. Tho Post say? Bacon is a repnblican Ho was one of several applicants for the place and wae strongly endorsed, bot it is stated that all the other candidates agreed he would be the best man for the place if he would accept it two years ago. Representative Hurd re commended him on account of his capability for the position to which he has been appointed, despite the fact that<he was of opposite politics? When his name was brought, some months ego, to the attention of the president, thelatter positively refused to appoint him, and not till he was convinced that Bacon was the best man for the place did he consent to the appointment. Troy, N. Y., ie shaken to its founda tions by a social scandal. The par ties to it were a temperate man, who taught a large Bible class of ladies, and a woman who had professed sanc tification for several years. Whiskey is not to blame for everything un canny. An elastic step, buoyant spirits, and clear complexion, are among the j many desirable results of pore blood. The possessor of healthy blood has his faculties at command and enjoys a clear and quick perception which is impossible when the blood is heavy and sluggish with impurities. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier and vitalizer known. Regulators in Fairfield? The explanation affords canse for congratulation, that the " Regulators" are dealing summarily, if illegally, with the question of prostitution and such degrading crimes as shamelessly prevail. We hope it will go on until every part of the State is "regulated." Two glaring ills entered society on the emancipation of the negro. Ooo relaxed that severe restraint of high public opinion, that doomed forever : the white man who openly lived in adultery with a colored woman. The other removed the punishment that followed the female slave, either by her owner or the law, for the like of fenae. The result was absolute ostra cism to the white man and almost certain punishment to the female slave. Now a different state of things exist. The colored race are free to live where and how they please. A loose state of morals and dislike of honest labor induce idleness, and idle ness produces crime. All over the South the complaint is for competent female help. In Augusta the house keepers resorted to help had direct from Europe. The success was not certain, because of the unpleasant proximity of the colored women who in a large degree had set up on their own account, thus degrading the posi tion of the servant. The observations of a Northerner recently were thus : " I see little houses on the outskirts of all your Southern towns, in the doors of which sit young negro wo men most of the day. How do they live? Yet your delicate ladies are obliged to go through the drudgery and toil of housekeeping with so much idle muscle sitting around." Who can deny that the average ser vant is more than a fraud, when com pared to the old time negroes, fast passing away. These genteel, well trained ex-slaves are tidy, respecta ble and thrifty, but each year the roll grows less and less. Few fami lies are favored with their help. They arc growing old, cr are in their little homes. Bot the hard feature is that the ladies, delicate wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, are driven with* out any hope of relief to do their own work, or worse, to be tormented with utterly inefficient help, who not only jtrxtMMtOthinfli bot are too big-headed tcibe taught^^n^RsT?!~f .ac cent good labor ? Could the secret recesses of " the little houses on the outskirts" tell the tale it would call eloquently for the "Regulators," if only to relieve the tired hands and heads i-f the faithful women. It is hard that the innocent should in this case suffer most -Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Scheme for a ferait Menor?a!, In the October number of the Brooklyn Magazine will be published an article by ex-Gov. Alonzo B. Cor nell, Chairman of the Executive Com mittee of the Grant Monument Asso ciation, touching the proposed me morial. Mr. Cornell believes that the deeds of Gen. Grant will be best commemorated by combining with a monumental structure some institu tion in architectural harmony. The idea of Mr. Cornell is expressed as follows : " A majestic column of ap propriate design and commanding proportions, containing a memorial chapel, within which should be de posited the mortal remains of ths illustrious dead. This section of the structure would naturally bear the principal portion of elaborate decora tions in stone carving and thus be made the chief object of the whole design." A great national library and a museum ol relics and mementoes of the war are included in the scheme. Something Every Fanner Should Keep. Eveiy farmer should keep a can of the following mixture : Kerosene two quarts ; linseed oil, one gill ; rosin, one ounce. Melt the rosin in ibo linseed oil, and add to the kero sene. Coat all steel or iron tools, wherever bright, with thio when th?y are to lie idle if for only a few days. It will not take half a minute or half a teaspoonful of the mixture to ,coat a plough wheu one has finished using it, and it prevents all rust and saved half a day s time in deaning it when it is again needed, besides saving the team many thousands of pounds ex tra pulling. Coat the iron work of tho mowers and reaper? with it when they are put away for the winter. A little rust is only a little thing, b-i it makes much difference in the aggre gate. t In a street car filled with ladies a ninety-pound dude sat wedged in one corner. A fat woman, handsomely dressed and with a little dog in her arms got on. The dude struggled to his feet and touching hie hat politely remarked facetiously: " Madam will you take this seat." Th,o fat lady looked at the crevice he had left and thanked him pleas antly. " You are very kind, air," rue said, " I think it will just fit the dog." And it did.-Chicago Tribune. The idea now is to smash the elates made at Colombia, destroy the lino of ; promotion, and allow the people to select an entirely new Btaff of ser vants.- Greenville News, , The Narrow Gauges. . The Aagueta correspondent of Ksws and Courier haa the follow to Bay on the subject of Nar; Gauge Railroads, and the Newbe and Augusta Railroad : It is pretty certain that the nari gaage railroad from Angosta to Ni berry will be built and that Auge will contribute its part. When subscription list for the Angosta, G ion and Sandersville Railroad i started, the project was something uew and untried that many peo were afraid to ventare into it. E; in this early stage of that road, he ever it has proved that it is a succt and those who had little faith in it the beginning have changed th Opinion, and are inclined to thi that it is the beet thing that has bc done for Augusta in many a long di It has paid running expenses ei since the completion of the first t miles. The president of the ro compotes that it will bring from t to fifteen thousand bales of cotton Angosta this season, the larger pi of which previously went elsewhe: The track will be laid to Gibson October 1, and to Sandersville by t first of next January, jg The road h done alarge excursion business duri; the past few months, in fact it had monopoly of that business. If the road to Newberry is built will form a continuous line with tl Augusta, Gibson and Sandersvill and the same rolling stock will prob bly be used on both. - President \ M. Mitchell, of the Augusta, Gibsc and Sandersville, says he will n move a peg in tbs Newberry ente; prise, until the money to build it subscribed, and he is satisfied that will be. Augusta, he thinke, wi subscribe fi om forty to sixty thouaan dollars, and it will do so the moi readily for the reasons I have state -the evident succ?s* of the narro gauge already built and the sm cost of its construction. Besides, tb contemplated road will run throug a section that Augusta has alway looked upon as a sort of suburb of it own. The relations between thc tow and E Igefield County are of th closest. Edgefield people, almos without exception, trade in August* and look to it for their supplies. Th val buna cuivi-y \n TEBSSSS tain City id composed almost all< gether of former citizens of thc staunch county, and it would be th worst sort of policy to su (fdr it to b cut elf from us by a road runnin from its centre to any other point an not coming here. The projectors c the-road, therefore, feel reason dbl; certain that they will receive mora and substantial support fiom th merchants of Augusta, and that whe the proper time comes the money wil not be wanting to complete it. It ca; probably be built and equipped fo five thousand dollars a mile, perhnp less; and as there is no doubt that i will do a good business, those wh< put money in it will be helping them selves individually as well as bene fiting the community. None of thi bonds of the Augusta, Gibson ant Sandersville Railroad have been sole at a cent less than par, and the officer, of the road do not intend to take lesi for any of those that they have ci hand. The bonds of the Newberrj road, if it should be decided to issui any after the road is graded, will cer tainly be worth as much. The Sandersville Railroad. The Narrow G e is* constant]] showing its g /i . a as a feeder tc the commerce ol Augusta, and nevei I more so than in its receipts of cotton from along its completed line. A double daily service, freight and pas senger, is now being operated forty one miles out, and when it is remem bered that four-fifths of the trade and products, now pouring into Augusta, for (he past twenty years went else where, we can calculate the nd van* tages derived by opening this new avenue to our merchants. Not a single bale of coi ton brought over this road has yet been transferred to another line. All of it stops here. On August 25 only two bales were re ceived, and yesterday the roceipts were 26, and in ten days thi* road will be averaging 150 daily, four- fifths of which will be new receipts for Au gusta. j President Mitchell is, in the mean time pushing the rails into new terri tory, and in lee? than a week will add another six miles to the end of the line. When the present business season ends, Augusta will have real ized that what she wants is trade, and that narrow gauge roads only will supply the want. When Vestryman Green bowed his head to read the responses of the Lit any last Sunday he was very drowsy indeed, and he had repeated "Lord have mercy upon us miserable sin ners" but three times when be iel] fast asleep. His wife nudged him with her parasol without success. When the minister preached, "And now, seventeenthly, my beloved breth ren," Vestryman Greene awoke, and being unconscious of the lapse of time responded in a sonorous and fervent voice : j " Lord have mercy upon us misera ble sinners."-N. Y. Times. " Christians Tbai Have Straddled tbe Fence Elad Better Keep Out of tbe Way." This morning Mr. Roberts, of Ce dartown, preached to about fifteen hundred people. At tho call for peni tents very few responded, and the Rev. Sam Jones seemed to get vexed. He said : " There seems to be a snag somewhere that this meeting is hang on to-day. You little weak-kneed Christians ain't doing your duty. If you'll come and put your carcasses on this altar and let some of these respectable sinners pray for yon, you'll get better. I don't propose to let this meeting die on my hands ; I nevei did do such a thing, and 1 never intend to. I'll chop its head off and say I killed it before it shall die on my hands. I'm going to stir things up here by to-morrow, and Christians that have straddled the fence had better keep out of the way, for I'm going to shell the woods, and it's likely you'll get hit. If I oan't make you people go to praying, I can throw you into fits. I am powerful good on fits-I am. I nevur lost a case yet. I glory in a row, and you can just lookout for it. The ' gospel volunteers' can prepare to move out of the trenches." The crowd laughed, but Sam said it was no joke with him. " There'll come a time when God will laugh at your calamity, and mock when your fear cometh." Sam Jones. It begins to look ns if a career of uninterrupted pio.iperity had turned the h. ad of that eminent Southern re vivalist Rev. Sam Jones. He de mands $200 a week for his services, and puts on the airs of a dramatic " star." In a recent sermon, accord ing to the Louisville Post, he begins in this way : " If you fool people don't stop mak ing so much noise in the church I'll go right away and won't spfiak a word to you to-night." ~~, The Post adds, very properly : k " What a key those words are to a man's character. WL .t a vain vul garian he must be I And yet there are truly good people who will insist upon paying him $200 a week, and swear by him."

HAWTHORNE ON SAM JONES - Dr. Hawthorne, our able Baptist preacher, has been up to the tent meeting at Carterville and came away much pleased with Sam Jones He said, among other things, of Jones, there never was a case of charity that came up before him but what he always contributed to his utmost* capacity. It is astonishing to any one to see the sacks of flour and sides of moat that he gives to the poor in his community. Upon inquiring of Dr. Hawthorne what he thought of the criticism that invaded the country about Sum Jones' preaching, he said that " ppople will talk, you know. I believe Sam Jones' heart is in ih-* work, and tho mau that assnils him might juet as well assail the Apostle Paul. He is one o? the greatest meir" of the age, and he reaches a certain clasB of men that no other divine has ever reached before." Sam Joues al $200 a Week. A prominent revival manager of Louisville, Ky., being asked why that part of the world did not have Rev. Sam Jones, repiied: " His terms are too high. You can't touch him for less than $200 a week, and we can't afford, to pay him that much." Where upon a writer in the Louisville P(>s? adds : What Bort of an age is this we ar? living in when an evangelist must be i paid $200 a week and engaged like any ordinary dranutic retraction to preach the Gospel ? Harrison, the Boy preacher, ^eta $150 a week . Moody about $200 ; Varley whatever he can work the town for, and Whit tie anything the people may caro to give him. \ Real Racket. A minister of the Gospel in one of tho counties in Middle Tennessee, bordering on the Cumberland Range, thought that he would try one of the Rov. Sam Jones' dodges on his con gregation, and see how it would woik. He had seen the Rev. Sam use it with. wonderful effdct, and he could see no good reason why it Bhould not prove equally as effective with him, and he was badly in need of a mucilage of some eort to make bis hoarers stick until he could reach the " lastly." On the occasion referred to he ascend ed the platform as usual, and, after the preliminary services, he slowly removed his glasses, and glancing over his audience, romarked solemnly that he was going to deal in some plain, unvarnished Gospel truths to day, and would try, the Lord being willing and helping, to expose the hy pocrisy of professing Christians, and if there were any person or persons present who did not want to hear it, they had an opportunity right then and there to " rack out." To his ut ter surprise and consternation, the congregation rose as one man and " racked."-Nashville American. Long-Distance Telephony. At the annual convention of the National Telephone Exchange Aseo, ciation. held last week, Mr. A. S. Hibbard of Wisconsin submitted a paper on long-distance telephony. " Tho limit of distance in practical and profitable working," he Bays, "is about 100 miles, although a considera ble business is done over 150 to 200 miles of wire " Among the long lines in daily use are one from Milwaukee to Oshkosh, 110 miles ; one from De troit to Saginaw, 100 inile?, and one from Buffalo to Rochester, 85 miles. But how does the Bell Company al low business to be done over these wires without breaking its contract with the Western Union ? That con tract provided not only that the Bell Company should pay the Western Union 20 per cent.- of all its rentalt and royalties-the sum paid last year being $382,008- but also that tele phone Hires connecting district or ex change systems should not be used " for the transmission of general busi ness messages or newB for sale or pub lication in competition with the busi ness of the Western Union Telegraph Company." The Bell Company agreed not to "license the use of its tele phones or patents" for such purposes. Restricted by such provisions as these, the growth of long dietance telephony will be slow.-New York Times. Hot Have ?rinks. Orange Phosphate the Latest Pick-up ?What Iloston Drinks for lt? Brains.

Editors Newberry Heraldct News : I see from jour last issue of the Herald and News, that the two committees agreed that the best route for the Narrow Gauge is direct from New berry, C. H. to Toeety cr=ek on the Edge ?eJ d fide thence to Butler church. I am of the opinion that a portion of ' the Edgefield and Newberry Commit tees are working more for self-interest ! than for the good of the community. The first land owner alter you cross the river at Tosety creek, will sub scribe one thousand dollars, and I doubt if you get two thousand more iii the seven miles out to Buller church. As I have talked to sever al of the parties on this route, eome are opposed to its coming through their lands ; heard one man say he wcull not have it to come through his place for a thousand dollars. Now I will give you the difference between this route and the one, two and a half miles above, known as the Mill creek route, crossing at or near the Abney old milla on the Saluda, and if the route were to cross at this point a new lactory would immediately spring up. Messrs. McCaughrin, Culbreath and Abney would put their shoulders to the wheel, and give the road a start with not less than ten thousand dollars as it would pass through their lands touching W. W. Coleman's, A. P. Coleman's, passing through the es tate of P. J. Coleman, lands of W. E. Clary, T. G. and H. II. Ellie, J. C. Strother, A. J. Coleman, Gnfir. h, Samples, Satcher, Hardy, Crouch, and at leant a half dozen Carsons to Rich ardnonville, all moneyed men. By ibis route can be raised at least tweniy or twenty-five thousand dollars to Ricbardeonville, a distance of only thirteen miles from the Saluda river, and with the exception of a few gaps it is all a fine heavy, long leaf pint; country sufficient to feed the road with lumber for years to come. There are two good steam mills already in operation in leas than a half mile ol the proposed line, besides the noted jay bird Hill which is a mountain of rock that would answer for all t h> material the bridges on the route would need. Now the other ruuti two and a half miles or three belo .v would not be able to get one-fourth ol tbe subscription aa the one just men tioned, and not a long leaf pine could be found on the route and no jay bird Hills.
