Three months ago, when 200 of the leading citizens of Gunnison City met in convention on a street corner, there were seven or eight Michigan men among the crowd. When Colonel Parker presented the following resolution, it was a Michigan man who supported it: Resolved, That a committee of~ five be appointed to wait upon Calabash Sam, late of Deadwood, and inform him that after sunrise to-morrow morning this crowd will open fire on him with the in tention of furnishing a corpse for our new graveyard. The committee of five went out to find Samuel and deliver their mc'ssage. He sat on a bench at the door of his shanty, a shotgun across his knees 4t:d a pipe in his month, and he preserved silence while the chairman of the con mittee read the reM,oltiont ; 1 hen ie asked: 'T~hat means me, does it :?' 'She does.' 'They don'c like my style of carving and shooting, eb ?' 'That's what they kick on.' 'Well, I won't go. You haven't got 'nuff men in the whole valley to drive Calabash Sam a rod. Re turn to the convention and report that I'm here for the season.' 'I forgot to menshun,' continued the chairman, in a careless voice, as he leaned on his gun-' I forgot to mensbun that the convensbun bas adjourned. This committee thus finds itself in an embarrass ing situation, and it sees only one way out of it. Onkess you'd agree to pick up and travel, this committee will feel called upon to -to-' 'To begin shooting; you mean ?' 'Exactly, Samuel, exactly. You may have already observed that two of the committee have got the drop on you.' 'I see.' 'Corpses which are riddled with buckshot have a ver-y unpleasant look,' contmnued the chairman, as he rested his chin on the muzzle of his gun. 'Yes, that's so.' 'And it's kinder lonesome, thbis being the first plant in a newv burying ground.' 'Y-e s, it may be.' 'And so, take it all around, the committee kinder indulges in the hope that you'll see fit to carr-y your valuable society back to the Black Hills. You may have ob sarved that three shotguns, each under full cock, are now looking straight at ye. We don't want to bluff, but it's getting nigh supper time.' :Well, after l ookmng the matter all over, I'm convinced that these diggings won't pan out low grade ore, and 1 guess I'll take a walk.' 'Right oti?' 'Yes.' 'Right up this trail ?' 'Yes.' 'Very well. While the comn mittee feels sorry to see you go, anid wishes you all sojrts of' luck, it hasn't time to shake hands. Step foff', now, and for fear you ain't used to walking, we'll keep these guns pinted up the hill until y*ou tnrn the half-mile boulder. Tru!a - . rh !'_-netroit Free Press. THE PUBLIC HIG IW4AS. An Abstract of the Statutes of South Carolina Relating to Roads and Bridges. John S. Verner. Esq.. in Keowec Courier. Amended to apply to Newberry County, by F.

In order to open a new public road they are required to appoint Special Commissioners. whose duty it is to survey the route of the road proposed, to lay out the same, and advertise it for three months, in the settlement through which the intended road is to pass. T he right of appeal lies in the decision of Special Commis sioners, in the same manner and with like authority, as is allowed by law from the acts of Courtv Commissioners. When a road is so laid out it is to be recorded by the County Commissioners and ordered worked as other roads Sections 2 and 3, Chapter 44, Re vised Statutes. In order to discontine any pnht lic high.way the Commissioners must give three months' public notice in the settlement through which the road to be discontinued passes ; Provided, That no objec tion is made, they can thereafter discontinue the road so advertised. But if there is objection, then the road remains a public highway until discontinued by law. See tion 12, Chapter 44, Revised Statutes. By the Act approved December 24, 1879, each township of the several counties of the Slate is made a highway district.

Dr. (arbally, an eminent physi cian and chemist, testifies that the cosmetics which the fashion able belles of the present day are so fond of using and deem so indispensible to their beau ty, are the most deadly ene mies to their vital system. Pa ralysis that fatal and frightful form of infirmity, is said to be the result of the continual use of the paints or waShes used for enamneliung or otherwise artifi cia!!y whitening the skin. Chief among these fearful auxil iaries of the toilet is that white borror, "Laird's Bloom of Youth," w hieb is-so extensively used by thbe ladies o.f society, married and sin gle, for "making up" their com plexions. The salts of lead con tained in this preparationi. which is the means of producing that pear ly white, polished appearance of the skin, on applying it, is thbe ac tive agent of paralysis, and any person who uses it, or any other lotion or powder containing these salts, is tampering with her life. Dr. Carbally turther tells us, seriously, that the peculiar droop of the hands sai castically called the ' kangaroo style," and which was supposed by the community to be a mere freak of fashion, really and truly had its origin in a partial paralysis of the exterior muscle of tbe fore-arm, produced by the use of those outward poisons. Some fashionable belle, no doubt, had suffered in this terrible way for her folly, and all fashionable geese of her acquaintance followed suit by crooking their wrists and droop ing their hands, like so many hens with their wings broken. We learn also that all powders, paints and liquids which impart a polished, scintillating whiteness to the skin, contain metallic poi sons, arid are extremely perilous. The more beautiful the more dan gerous. Although it is thought that the pawnr-broker is an imposition on the public still he will thrive so long as people continue to "put uip" with him. There are lots of English noble men visiting this country at pre sent. Tihe trouble is that such are not regarded asoeligible. The reason you always find a German such an excellent cornet ist is that he was born a Teuton. A New York man' calls his sweetheart Kitty, because she gets her back up so often. A true republic should be a cos tard pie-no upper crust. Stands to reason-A debater a' ho won't sit down.
