TH6BRIIE OFDEAT- I to a rich and popular county rississippi was once a stretch woodland so dense that the su even during the brightest day summer, never penetrated i leafy canopy, except where a ca riage way had been cat throng -its centre, the hills now on eithe side forming a deep ravin( through which ran a small broc or bayou of water being only fe.. inches deep in places and tw or tl,ree feet wide. , O)er this straggling stream ~>rude bridge of logs and planks w: turownl. A t all times the air around vas damp and suggestive of tU cbills of death while.at night tI darkness could .almost be felt.

Many a dark deed bad be *committed at the bottom~ of ti gloom13y ravine on thbis very brid1 until-at last it ca.me tO be callI 'At last there was a cessation borrors. No murder had been committ4 .for Dearly a year, and the belat4 travelers began to breathe mo: freely if the twilight fell befo the bridge was crossed. About six miles apart with i fatal bridge between, dwelt to ~amilies of planters, bound t~ gether'by such ties as simnil pIrits and grown-up childre of both sexes, on either side, w a!Lays cement. The young people had alwa: iept up a constant intercour 'th each other but, on account he terrible reputation of thbebridj at night, the visits had been two or three days duration at the traveling backward and fo w,ards had been done in the da~ time. At last George and Mattie, t edest son and daughter dete mined to pay their friends a vis intending to return before nigh all l; and _accordingly they mai an early start in a light baroucl driving a gentle but very f~ *trotting horse. The day at the house of the friend was spent as all days mu . be where youth and light hear .nmbine to chase timne away ai in this instant they did it so m( effectually that night was darken- in i.- the earth before the young or< pe.ple thought of returning home. 1y, Pu:tiug aside all solieit ation :o Sh rt-rauin over night, they prepared th< to del art. ch Relying on the trotting quali ties of their horse, they hoped to mi reach home before their mother ov should grow uneasy at their str absence off It was nearly nine o'clock before . they finally got off ; but, once I th started, they rolled easily and ne; swiftly along until the brow oft mt the hill overlooking the ravine lor was reached. Here the horse suddenly stop- on ped still, no amount of encourage. sb merit would induce him to go m< down the hill. sh George alighted and bidding gh Mattie hold the reins to prevent bri their falling about the horse's ke heels, took him by the bit and by an dint of patting and coaxing started ! a I him down the hill, trembling and shivering with mortal fear. ne As soon as her brother left her to side, Mattie slid down from her seat, and crouched down upon the pri floor of the carriage, holding on th to the dash board too frightened to to speak. pa The horse was slowly led to the bottom of the hill ; but as he th neared the bridge his terror in. ho creased, and with a snort and a cai bound he shook off George's re- do straining hand, and in a moment gr had thundered over the bridge, fel and was tearing up the other side ha of the hill, still snorting with the most extreme fear. mt At the first plunge of the mad dened animal, Mattie was jerked all out of the carriage, and went over the bridge into the brambles wi and bushes ; and, although George for groped around in the darkness, ow n and called her name repeatedly, po not a sign of Mattie rewarded his me ? search ; and alt bough suffering the d;rect apprebenions be felt that lie bri Ls world be con,peiled to leave her there and hurry home for asrist- tbh h ance. an 'r Tce thought of leaving his sister str in sucb a place for a time even ,ll k was almost too painful to be en- an' a tertained ; and be began feeling De 'o along in the dead leaves be- -_ side the bridge, with a last hope a of finding her before he left the Sspot to procure help. W bile thus employed, lying flat LI t on ther. bridge, he touched some e thing that felt like a hand, but The e larger and heavier than his sister's would be. e He instinctively drew back, and y casting his eyes up the hill to- Co 8, wards home, saw the welcome on y light cast from pine torches and tic , heard the familiar voices of his tri h faithful nregroes, and knew that ti" n they were searchinig for him. of g To0 call them to hasten onward go was the work of a moment ; and id nwith glad shouts and merry laugh- t e ter, as was the wont of happy de enegres ndrany little excite- t dment, four or five of tbem, under ri the lead of the plantation driver, or f crowded around him inquiring, by 'Where is Miss Mattie ?' of d In a few moments George ex- w" d plained to them what had hap- sh -e pened, suppressing the fact that pr e he had felt a strange coid hand Ae under the bridge. vi e Had he told them in spite of all an ' their "devotion to him and their an Syoung mistress they would have dr r turned and fled away as fast as fe~ r. their legs would carry them. ati 11 Then began a rapid and vigilant co search, and poor Mattie was soon a brought to light, tumb'ed all in a ke se heap close beside the bridge, at of Partly under her, and partly a e under the bridge was another ob- pe f ject upon which tbe red glare of sh d the torches fell with terrible dis- th -tinctness. e -A man in the full bloom of early km manhood, lay mute and cold, the WI e crushed skull showing too wellvi -that the murderers were at their ce it dread work again. t- Some of the negores started to re: e flee at the sight of the ghastly I me object; but the voice of their P~ st master, aided by their driver, re- hr called them.m ir Hasty preparations were made to an st take Mattie away from the hateful ad ts|Ispot.; and the still insensible girlp id j w.s en frared in charge of two th ,o, who carried her alternately C their arms. The men were a Jered to take borse immediate- d and ride into the town of a irley, to arouse the sheriff of. C county to come and take I srge of the man. h =eorge and three negroes re- t ined and kept solemn watch t er the body of the young! s anger until the arrival of the a cers of the law. a kn inquest was held ; and then d unfortunate victim was buried i ir the scene of his last struggle, d king the sixth grave on that t ely hillside. a fattie was not hurt, but had t ly fainted through fright, when ) found herself flung uncere- d Iniously into the bushes, and, as ' was happily ignorant of her ti nstly companion under the lc dge, it was deemed best to t< p the matter a secret from her, p a she was immediately sent on *i ng visit to New Orleans. t the opportune arrival of the t, roes on the scene was owing r the fears of a younger sister. t he had bribed them with the b mise of coffee and hot cakes in n morning, to go with torches s meet and escort her brother t 3t the fatal bridge. t 'hey had reached the foot of a hill, when the frightened ti rse, dragging the shattered S -riage after him, came dashing M wn upon them, creating the t: 'atest consternation, for they t t some dreadful accident must ti -e happened.

He gathers as he s s along the railroad a rapid r: a of the state of cultivation of c, adjoining lands, and takes a e ~ided note of the condition of l railrcad upon which he is t ng. When he reaches a townr ity his attention is attracted Li its public buildings, its system ti water-works, the manner in .I ich the streets are kept, and in j rt all those characteristics of aa sperous and advanced people. a is natural, he wants to get a w of the surrounding country, a to this end he takes his horse t] Ibuggy and starts.-out for a b e. He has gone but a few h vmiles when his attention.is t1 racted, and by what? It is the a ~dition of the wagon roads d ing to the city. If they are ; t in proper condition, he feels , nce that he is in the midst of a rosperous and highly civilized y -De. If they are not as theyt uld be, no matter how elegant a features of the city he has Lbehind him might be, he ws at once that the people areg niing in one of the most con cing evidences of culiure and nd now, Mr. Editor, I have c ~ched my subject, would that ould do it justice. It is the b>he wagon roads of South Caro , their present condition and )de of keeping them in repair, , lastly, the many and great antages of a good system of blic country roads. If, as I say, a condition of the roads of a t ountry or a section of country is a mark of its civilization then in- Ii eed, in this respect at least, we v re uncivilized. The roads of South a arolina are certainly miserable. j a have been in thirteen counties w itely and one is no better than ui be other so far as natural advan- it ige goes. Of course in those tl -ctions where the soil is sandy s< nd the lands are level the roads al 'ill not wash as badly, or bog as cc ceply as in the bill and clay dis- w -icts. It is almost a shame to w rive decent vehicles over most of ai )e roads in the State, for they le re soon not fit to be seen. And ti nen how much of their usefulness a] taken away by their poor con. tLi ition. How often do we see a agon, with. four good mules at. c ebed, struggling along with a ei ad of three or four bales of cot- in )n, when they ought_ to easily: p all from six to eight.' Now, why i this? It is simply because if b, 2e farmer has to haul his cotton ti n miles, and nine miles of the p ad is good and in the other mile 01 ere are deep bogs and ruts, he ti as to put on his wagon only so tc ueh as his team can pull over tt ich difficulties. Thus, owing to n at one mile being in bad order, ei e nine miles are of little or no p rail. But enough of the condi 0 on of tLe public country roads of cc outh Carolina, for every man, S oman and child who has ever i avelled them can attest to their 0 rrible and unnecessary condi- e: on. nn Now, as to the present manner to I working these roads. As the p Lw now stands, the roads are ti ,orked about three times during tI year, and then only one day at tl time. This, in the first place, p: oes not give the roads half the ti me necessary to put them in 01 ]eir proper condition, and in the it ext place the work done on w om is simply child's play and 01 wful foolishness. A supeivisor pi appointed by the county com- vi issloncrs to superintend the rt ork on certain lines of roads. n his supervisor summons those able to road duty to meet at cer- mo Lin points on certain days to tl ork their respective sections. ti ow, if any one don't care to go w imself he has the privilege of d: inding in his place some 13 or S I year old boy or 65 year old w anW. Well, w e will suppoee all ei ho are liable have met at the 8S ppointed place at the appointed ai me either in person or by sub- s<( itute. Now, let some practical, pi mnsible man go with them as a ft itness only, and what will he It e? A lot of old men and boys, fc >me with hoes worn to the eye, pi thers with axes that would r< :arcely cut .Northern pine, ano- o: ser with some family relic of a B ade or shovel, while others car- u1 j nothing. And now the roll is $: fled, and soon the careless, law- rt mpelled crowd, begin their use- of ss, yes, foolish march for- the os- of nsible purpose of fixing the 01 ads. As they go merrily along Si ey pay no attention to the d< ~ousands of rocks that are scat w ~red all over the road, enough to sl It to pieces even a Brewster's n< ake. Presently they come to a it ud hole whose bottom a wheelm ould seek two feet in finding, fc ad what do they do? -Why they Si irow in a few huge stones for the ei Befit of those suffering from ai sadache, a few little pine tops on tI ese, and,- like the generality of it nners, spread a fair coating (of m irt) over the whole, march on, ai laving the unwary traveller to ci -rench the axles off his buggy, L e the unhappy farmer to start in ci ith his well loaded wagon only m > find himself obliged to throw p1 f a part of bis load, get help or g t quietly over this slough of de- h pond and meditate on man's ain- Er enuity. A little farther on tk-ose ti arti workers encounter a for -ti iidable looking stump rignt in ai be middle of the road, but 01 cv ourse they can't take the trouble 6i o dig it up or in any way remove v , so it is 'left alone in its glory,' d n be a continual annoyance and ti anger to the travelling public. 'I elarge stone is seen imbedlded on o e side of the road just where a heel woul ~k it; but that's u 11 right, th rs must have I be gift of nnctnynal vision and te roid these Scyllas along the,pub- k c dirt roads. And so the super- t isor and his crowd go carelessly t long dropping a slim brush here v )d a shovel of dirt there, and a hen they have finished their v eless work the roads are often i: a worse condition than before t 1ey were touched. The holes a nicely covered over with brush I ]d dirt after the first rain be- d >me almost impassable, and s bere a little judicious work v ould have prevented it the roads r -e washed into deep gulleys and i ft to grow worse. So much for n ie manner in which the roads t -e worked at present, and I feel t iat I have not exaggerated. I And now what is the remedy ? I t tn only offer a few,~what I consid. f -,practical suggestions. Accord- f g to the laws of the State, all 3rsons liable to poll tax are also t ,ble to road duty. (There may-! c 3 some few exceptions.) Now a ie receipts of the State from the 1 :I> . tax amounts to about $120,- f )0 per year. This gives as in c ie same number of people liable i road duty. Let the Legisla, t ire pass an act levying an an- I aal tax of one dollar ($1) per . tpita .on all persons liable to s :11 tax, and we would have $120.- i )0 each year to expend upon our t >untry. roads throughout the t ,ate. Let the act provide tbat a ie tax is for the specific purpose i improving the roads, and that 'a ich county be- entitled to as: t uch of this total amount as its a ,xpayers have paid for this pur- t )se. Now, of course some coun- r es would be entitled to more of 1; tis amount than others, owing to [ te excess in number of tax- t yers. But, even if all the coun es received equal amounts, each s e would get about $3,500 for the t oprovement of its road&.' Some t ill dogbtless object to this tax f one dollar, and yet not disap- ) rove the present mode of pro- C ding for the improvment of c >ads. Well, let's look at this a atter fur a moment. t As before stated, the law de- a ands three (3) day's work on e c road{ during the year. Now e ere is no one whose time is not t orth as much as fifty cents a f y at least, so this is giving the .ate one dollar and fifty cents e orth of our time, which is gen. ally worth a great deal more. ythat - if' the people would look ,this matter from a common- d nse point of view, they wculd t efer to pay the tax of one dollar c r the year's work on the roads, r would not do to tar property. t r there are thousands who pay a 11 tax and would be liable to t >ad tax who do not pay a penny ~ 3 property, for they have none. t esides this the tax would be too t iequal. There is in this State v 38,000,000 of taxable property, a al .and personal. This at a tax 'one mill, would bring a revenue i '$138,000 for the improvements t 'roads. But then a man worth c 0,000 would have to pay fifty' t >llars, while one worth $1,000 , ould only pay one dollar. This n LOWS that to tax property would b >t do,so the best thing the authore o Les can do will ~be to tax each a an the small sum of one dollar b r this good and wise purpose. b ippose now that ~uch a law is 1 acted, (as I hope there will be) i, id each county has its share-of c Le tax for the improvement of a s roads, in what way is the j', oney to be properly disbursed so i Sto be of most benefit to that b >unty ? I would suggest this: t et the people of each county refully select their county com issioners, such men as are 'actical, and who will have the neral good of the people at eart. Now let the county com-d isioners let the contracts for le improvement of the roads in ie diere't sections of the county >such n,en as they feel perfectly 2nfidenjt will conscientiously ful r I their agreements. Not to men ho will skim over the roads, ~ >ing little or no good, but prac cal and common-sense men. 'hese of course can hire their ~ w help and supervise the work. ~ Now, a word as to the muin tiam of the work on roads. When iben a large mud hole or sink is icnnered ay between two< ills, let proper drains be laid an ,e holes filled, not ,with a fe1 rush and stones, but made soli 7itb a bottom that will stanc id, if necessary, bridged ove 7itb two-inch planks. If a stum found in the road, let it b aken up and entirely removec nd the bole properly fillec Vhen washes are found, let tb rains be dug or banks thrown n o as to change the course of th ater. But any man with cou ion eense and the proper faci ies, could easily see what wa eeded and accordingly remed be present numerous obstacles t > easy travel in any kind of - icle. And now let us briefly n( ice the advantages to be derive rom a good system of public an rivate roads. The greatest ac antages would be derived and fel y the farmers and people get rally who live in the countr nd who depend largely for thei ving on the amount they receiv r their farm products. Instea f being compelled to sacrifice hi is cotton and other produce b aking them to small village ?here the markets are dull an w, he could now take his wago vith loads he would not hav ave thought of attempting t aul before, and go to the nearef own or city and get full value fc I he had to bring and bqy wb e needed at much lower pricei 'his alone would save him te lines his tax. Again, he wool ave a great deal in the wear an ear of his stock, wagon and hai ess. Why a horse- or -mule wi ast twice as long when they ar .lling over good roads as ove ad ones. Then consider what a Godsen ich a state of affairs would be t he towns and cities, for wher hey had had one man and hi imily to trade there, they wool ave a dozen or more. The streel f every inland town would b onstantly thronged with peopi nd their wagons from all parts c be country, come there to se nd buy. The spirit of an unknow nergy would be infused in very one, and the smile of cor entment would beam on th tces of all. And now lastly, but not leas omes the great advantage c ood roads to social amenity. It ead of the bright and intelliger ourng minds which before wer >oomed to rust and decay ami be pine thickets and sand hills ur State, we would see thei ~ingle with their fellows, and b bat natural friction of mini gainst mind, rapidly become fil ed to act nobly their parts in Lb -eat drama of life, and to tak be places of those whose hold o be world and its gifts is groini teak. And as these too pas wa~y they would leave 'footLprinl Sthe sands of time'-the eternw istimonials to the greatness ( uns high type of civilization. Tb hurches, too, would no longer In be rosort of those good peopl !ho were so fortunate as to liv ear, but mnethinks on every Sal ath in all the churches througi it all the State, the people, ye I the people, would join in lou allelujahe of praise for the gres easing of good roads. Let th egislature, so prompt to engag political affairs, take prope .gnizance of the great importanc this matter, and by providing )r the people these great bles igs, bring upon themselves th earty 'Well-donie' of all gooc ~ue and sensible citizens.

Like a two-edged sword in the hands of the dressmaker, come tack. e ings which no longer confined to in nocent white dresses, appear in wools, e silks, and all that is akin thereto. Imagine now for a moment the forcefulness of this new ekment in the a making of costumes, and you will see what a weapon is launched against goods of every description. Worn places can be passed off as new, be cause covered up by tucks; a plain expanse, often as much to be dreaded d as an awkward pause, can be furrowed over by tucks either narrow or wide, t run - length wise, crosswise, or any other wise, and from a small cluster up to a regiment. Every day now, too, gives proof that braid and cord e are coming to the front as trimmings. d The former put on in rows and finished usually by a bullet-shaped crochet-or metal button ; the latter in fanciful traceries, twirlings and. whirl d ings that on the fronts of dresses are n connected by 'frogs' which have leap e ed into a sudden life. Of course the material must be plain to show off the trimmings, and tuckings likewise are r manifestly inappropriate to aught but solid surfaces. One who wants to know about n SEMI-DRESS OUTFITS d can do no better than follow the d crowd to Talmage's on a Sunday. For - as we all know, brother T. preaches Il not to the mighty but to a crowd of e the semi-poor. People whd if they r have nice things work in some way for them. Perhaps this was the rea d son that Talmage so furiously de. o nouoced the buying of lottery tickets, e since it is not the rich who usually s invest in this way, but the poor d who want to get rich. As a ,s proof of the efficacy of his eloquence, e we find some of the people whom he e preaches against doing a better busi. >f ness than ever; now especially that it Generals Beauregard and Early an n. perintend all the details of the month o lv and semi-annual drawings of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, to e insure perfect fairness. They say, moreover, that the 'Black Crook' t, never found such audiences as after i Talmage warned his congregation not . to go there. Our special business, t however is not with the sheep of his e flock, but with their clothing, so]I d return to those serviceable outfits >f needed by eve.ry one. First comes ai flannel, which in view of the popular y demand, has been dyed not only in d standard brown, blue, green, etc., but t- in 'greenery,' 'yallery,' and the new e terra cotta, which threatens us as a e popular rage. It is a very brownish ni red, or a very reddish brown color, g and is seen in ribbons, hats, feathers, s gloves, and I know not what. There a are several shades running from pale hi to dark. Cheviot cloth is likewise in f great demand for stylish, inexpensive e costumes, and here you can choose e among checks, showing indistinct co e minglings of the recent browne, reds, e yellows. greens, etc., or stripes in similar combinations. If you are -stout, choose the latter, or, if thin, s select among the'"former, -but for dl either, you need a good complexion, t Uncertain shades are always disas e trous to uncertain complexions, and e unless your face shows the red and r white, (natural), rely on some decided e color for your costume. STRUCK BY HATS. Anybody might be struok by hats, e for they are striking enough. It seems as if milliners could not pile on ostrich feathers sufficient to satisify their hearts. and the result is feathers. Plumes overtopping plumes, e till they form small mountains, or 0 trailing plumes that droop from either e side of the hat till they well-uigh touch the shoulders. Then how pi. a' quant three nodding ostrich tips peer ing impudently above the- brow on one side, and adding significance tc a each look of coquetry. A climax of teffectiveness is reached by contrasts of color, as when red feathers adorn a black hat ; black feathers are put or lred hats, etc., although red hate -trimmed lavishly with red ostrich plumage are very stylish. Not only genuine red, hut the garnet terra cotta L8 and other varieties. These red hata y and hats with red or any other colored feat areworn indepe;dently o the costume, which often is in violent contrast. FANS. There are fans of feathers and. feathery fans. Provided you have - feathers, Fashion opens her portals and you enter, even though you may have secretly in the kitchen or poul try yard, despoiled your own-chickens or guinea hens of their coatings. Arrange them in some pretty way and behold you have a fan. Mary Anderson's favorite stage ian was a set of white ostrich plumes confined without regularity and tied with rib bon. Sometimes we see painted feathers, but here they lie flat and are uniform in color. Painting indeed is greatly liked ; birds, figures, or land. scapes on black, white or pale satin or moire surfaces. Very large fans have followed very large white ties, nobody knows where, and medium sizes pre. aLR vail. -LUCY CARTER. WHY IT PAYS TO ADVER TISE. A reporter dropped into one of our large retail establishments and held a conversation with the proprietor. 'You have a great rush,' remarked the reporter. 'Yes,' replied the proprietor, 'a big rush-partly because of the season, but mostly on account of advertising.' 'How can you tell whether a'ver tising' pays, and what papers are good mediums ?' 'I can tell whether advertising pays: by stopping my advertisements. I've tried it. Trade drops not at once, but the tide of purchasers flows some other way. The cash receipts tell the story. 'Is there any difference in the sharpness of buyers-I mean do they haggle much over prices?' 'Oh, no; we sell at one price, and. all the best stores in Boston do the same. They will sometimes say they can buy such and such an article cheaper elsewhere. When they men tion the place we send and see if it is true, and if so we mark our stock down.' 'Well, I should have a big pile of money the first year, but I should lose a bigger pile the next two years. You must keep the boiler heated if you want steam. If you bank your fires too long it takes time to start up. Advertising is the steam which keepa business moving ; I've studied the matter.'-Boston Journal. MARRIED FOR LOVE-The man who has married for love is a happy fellow. He is generally cheerful, and - always thinking about the dear ones at home. Be prefers to live out of town for the sake of the children. He is rarely at late business, .rEses early, gardens a little, eats a hearty breakfast, and goes to the necessary labor with a light heart and a clean conscience. He often brings home pleasant sur prises for his wife and cbildren. You may recognize him in trains loaded with parcels, which he good naturedly carries with perfect unconeern of what others think-a new bonnet, music, books, a cloak for his wife; while ini another parcel the wh'eIIs:of a cart, a jack-in-the-box, a doll onr skipping rope, intrude through the paper and suggest the nursery. He is brave and kind, though he makes no noise in the - world. - The humanizing influence of that darling red-cheeked little fellow who calls him father brings a glow and rapture of the purest pleasure earth holds ; for the man who has never felt a tiny baud clasp his will always lack something-he will be less ha man, less blessed than others. This is the noble, the honest, the only. form .of life, that imparts real contentment and joy, that will make a dethbed glorious, and love see peace thiroiugh its tears. It is so purely unsel fish so tenderly true ; it satisfies the highest instincts, it stimulates men to the best deeds they' are capable of. [Yonkers Statesmani.
