Not as They Used to Do?"They
don't do business as they used to," observed
the old gent as he wheeled the chair around.
"Twenty years ago a man who failed iu t
business had some honor left." "Yes," re- p
plied the man on his right. "My son was v
in business in Chicago. He failed, and sot- v
H'.. ; tied for twenty-five cents on the dollar, but s
afterwards paid every creditor in full and f
went into business again." "How much i
did he fail for the first time?" "Fifteen 0
thousand dollars, sir." "And the second 8
time?" "The second time?ah?hem, for v
$45,000, I believe." After which the old 8
gent suddenly turned the conversation to t
other channels.?Chicago Times. a
A. young Texas lady of a /violent tem- ?
per, just about to be married, was found c
/ weeping by a friend. r
"Whydoyou weep, Fanny? Yourfuture *
husband is one of the most kind-hearted J
men in the world," asked the friend.
"I know it, but I can't help feeling sorry
y for the poor fellow. I have such a tender c
heart that it makes me cry to think how I 1
will boss him around. The poor man has 1
no idea what he is going to suffer at my ?
hands:" and once more the eyes of the kind- c
hearted woman were filled with brine. ?
I?-"Don't you love the smell of a good e
cigar?" inquired an Austin antipode of
Vanderbilt of Gus De Smith. r
"You bet I do," replied Gus, his face f
brightening with anticipation. t
"Have you got ten cents about your per- g
_ son ?" inquired the first speaker again. i
"Yes, what of of it," asked Gus. t
"Well, you give me ten cents, and that, I
with the money I have, will purchase a c
prime cigar."
"But what wiil I get ?" 11
"Why, you'll get the smell which you n
aay you dote upon so much." t

"Thomas, you have disobeyed your
old grand father."
"No I didn't ma." J
"Yes you did. Have you not been in c

"Yes, ma."
"Didn't I hair him say to you not to go
in swimming?"
"Oh, he didn't tell us that, he only came
out and said: 'Boys I wouldn't go in swimming,'
and I shouldn't think he would, an
old rheumaticky man like him; but he
didn't say nothin' about our goiag in swimming."
Educational Intelligence.?There
was an examination of the graduating class
of the University of Texas.
"If one bushel of wheat costs forty cents
hdw much will ten bushels of wheat cost ?"
asked a visitor."
There was an awkward pause.
"Weil," said the visitor, "I'll ask you another
question, "If you go into a saloon and,
one whisky toddy costs fifteen cents how
~ much will two cost?"
"Yog get two for a quarter!" yelled the
graduating class in chorus.?Texas Si/tings.

For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. 1
RETRENCHMENT FOR THE COUNTIES. 1
Editor of the Enquirer : The Columbia
correspondent in your issue of the 1st,
>retends to be lull of retrenchment, but 1
phen one examines his shears and sees '
phere he begins to cut, it is found to be the
ame old shears that have been ruu on the
armers by our professional men for years
before reconstruction. Then commissioners 1
f roads and bridges were compelled to
erye under the penalty of fifty dollars and 1
vere not allowed so much as a cent for their
ervices. They were required to attend at
he Court House some three or four times 1
i year; and once they concluded that the
ounty ought to give them at least their 1
linners; but they did not get many diniers
before they were stopped from as much
>ay as their dinners, by a law forbidding
iny such privilege a9 taking their dinners
0 be paid for out of the public fund.
A commissioner who did his duty was
bmpelled to lose a month or so every year
n attending to the roads and bridges, and 1
low I see they want to fall back to the old !
ystem of forcing farmers to serve in some
if the county offices without compensation? '
?trenching altogether on the farmer and
ioubling the professional man's fees, in
ivery move or change that is made.
I need mention but one or two of these
nove9 in retrenchment to show how they 1
avor the poor farmer in these so-called re1
mchment schemes. Take the law as to 1
Itate witnesses. The farmer i9 bound over
n a bond for his appearance at court and 1
hen he must pay to jjrove his attendance.
Ie then receives the whole sum of fifty 1
ents per day, which does not pay his board. |
But examine the law on the professional '
nan. The physician, for conducting a post
wrtem examination receives from ten to 1
i
wenty dollars, and as expert witness ten ;
lollars per day for attending Court, and intead
of abolishing needless offices they add
pore. -Look at the salary of the Circuit '
udges; and then another office recently J
reated?that of stenographer, to wait on
he Judge and write in short hand at a big
alary, when the salary of the Judge is suf- 1
icient, or a third more than it ought to be, 1
f you will compare these salaries with the
>ay of commissioners, jurors and State witlesses.
1
Yet, according to the working of thesysem,
retrenchment means to appoint farm>r8
to serve the county as commissioners for '
io pay, and be required to provide their 1
wn dinners when at the Court House on
official business. Now, if this is the way
etrenchment must come, put all the offices |
n the county on the same footing and let '
is retrench out of debt instead of making
lew offices to tax the farmer.
And then the county commissioners are
equired to make a yearly report, pubJoV.

fee for publishing it. Then the county
reasurer is required to make an annual retort
nearly the same as the commissioners' ,
feport, which taxes us twice on nearly the
iame report. This should be regulated bet- ;
er, and with less expense. Examine the |
Snquirer, of 17th of November and see
he amount paid out for printing for the ,
ounty offices* and you will see one reason ,
vhy our taxes are so high. There are too
nany big baskets to fill out of the laboring |
nan's earnings. W. H. Carroll. (
THE THREE C'S* RAILROAD.
Johnson City, Tenn., November 20.?
Sarly last summer I wrote you from Ashe- '
'ille an authentic statement of the plans, '
s far as matured, of the Charleston, Cininnati
and Chicago Railroad Company. I <
rrived here this morning to commence a <
aumey,across the territory that the road '
vill traverse from this point to the Ohio
liver. <
The need of an air line railroad of low <
;rade between Charleston, on the Atlantic, '
nd the Ohio River, has long been apparent *
o business men. The construction of such
, road would have been attempted fifty '
ears ago if the money could have been '
ecured to pay its cost. Capitalists could '
iot see any posibility of dividends from the '
lusiness such a road would do, and gave
, decided negative to all who sought their "
ssistance. The discovery of the vast J
wealth awaiting development in the mounains
of Eastern Kentucky and Western 1
Virginia has given a new direction to capi- 1
al, and made the construction of such a
oad a certainty. i
Ashland, on the Ohio'river, is in the heart 1
f the famous Hanging Rock region, where (
,re more than fifty blast iron furnaces,
lome years ago the Chatteroi Railroad was !
milt from Ashland down the valley to the 1
Jig Sandy River, for fifty-one miles into the !
inlimited splint coal fields. Ten miles south
here are vast deposits of eannel coal,extendDg
to the Virginia line. In the same disrict
are inexhaustible veins of rich specular
nd hematite ores. The Charleston, Cincinlati
and Chicago Company has purchased
he Chatteroi Road and incorporated it into
tssystem. It is now extending that road
nto the region referred to, and will, by the
irst of March, have twenty miles finished
nd in operatien, thus carrying these coals
nd ores to the Hanging Rock furnaces, and
o Cincinnati and other Northern markets.
At the other end of its line it has com- |
leted the stretch between Black's Station,
n the Gharlotte and Atlanta Air Line Road j
nd Shelby, and is laying the rails between j
hat place and Rutherfordton. Work will (
e pushed with all possible rapidity on the
outhern end of the road from Black's Sta- (
ion, via Yorkville, Rock Hill and Lancas- .
er to Camden, South Carolina, the county (
eat of Kershaw, where connection will be
tiade with the old South Carolina Railroad ^
nd by it with Charleston.
Johnson City is a thriving town, incorpoated
by the Legislature in March, 188o. It
tas now a population of 2,500, and is the
eat of considerable trade. The East Ten- .
lessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad passs
through it, and the narrow gauge Cran- r
?erry Road terminates here. The town has ^
number of common schools, seven churchs,
a large tannery, using annually about
250,000 in its business; the most complete
nodern built and fitted foundry and ma- (
hineshop in the South, and several small j(
nj..ni.:nn rrk?.n i 1
iiuuaiiica* aiicic mi; iwu hccm^v jjuptria, i
he Comet and the Enterprise, which contribite
much to the life and enterprise of the
lorough. Present hotel accommodations
re not up to the standard of the town in
ither respects, hut there will soon be a j
hangeforthe better in this respect. The j
itizens are hoping that the "three C's" rail- I
oad will pass through here, but that matter j
las not been decided definitely by the com-;
any. Whether such be the case or not,
hat railroad will give this people cheap coal
nd enable them to manufacture Cranberry
ron into many forms of hardware.?/?. S.
?., in the Manufacturers' Record.
W. B. Wilson, Jr., and the Eartiituake
Bill.?In the House on the 8th intant
while the Bill relating to the re-assess- .
nent of real property in the counties of
Jharleston, Berkeley and Colleton was unler
discussion, Mr. W. B. Wilson, Jr., of
fork, moved to strike out the enacting
lause. The Bill is intended to relieve the
eople of the above counties who suffered
y the earthquake. It provides that the
ssessment on property damaged by the
arthquake shall be reduced from the value
at which it was returned prior to being ar
damaged; and provides also for the refund- er
Ing of a portion of the taxes that have al- su
ready been paid on the property and thus th
reduce in value from the assessment at the pi
time it was given in. tii
Mr. Wilson said he opposed the bill because
it discriminated against other portions ?
of the State, but would support it if its pro- ^
visions were made to include all other coun- ,
ties in the State. Property in many of the
other counties had shrunk in value on account
of floods and other causes, and if it
was fair to give Charleston the benefit of E
such a law it was hut iustiee to erive all sec
tionsof the State the same showing. Mr.
Raysor opposed the motion to strike out, as
also did Mr. S. P Hamilton and others. A
Mr. Wilson finally withdrew his motion in
order to offer an amendment making the
bill apply to all sections alike, and there- fh
after offered such an amendment, which
was defeated. He then renewed his motion in
to strike out the enacting clause, and upon re
the passage of the bill an extended debate 0f
took place. Mr. A. F. O'Brien made a feel- ha
ing speech in opposition to the motion to w<
strike out, and Messrs. Danlzler, Rutland
and Douglas favored the motion, unless the Tl
provisions of the bill were made to apply
alike to all sections. Mr. Moses favored Qf
the motion. Mr. T. E. Miller opposed the cu
motion, and Mr. Pope also made remarks jf.
in opposition. ca
Mr. Ficken said that the Charleston dele- Ni
nation, through delicacy, had not intended ^
to discuss the bill, but at this stage of the in
matter he desired to explain the objects of ^
the bill. He did so in an impressive man- re,
ner, and was followed by Mr. Brawley, who Ni
was in the midst of a forcible argument on Je<
the measure when it was announced that [n
the Senate desired admittance to the House co
for the purpose of going into Joint Assem- u
1 1 ' *' ' - fl !-l n:
Diy ior me election 01 a ouperiuieuueiii ui 01
the Penitentiary and of three members of ^
the Board of Directors of the Penitentiary. r
Mr. Brawley suspended, and the two houses
went into Joint Assembly. When the '<
Joint Assembly dissolved, the House ad- w<
iourned to meet at 10 o'clock, A. M., on "laj
Friday. Bi
The consideration of the bill was resumed '
s,t 11 o'clock on Friday, when the bill came i
up for a second reading, the pending question
being a motion to strike out section 4, j
which provides for a rebate of the taxes on
damaged or destroyed houses proportionate
to the damage sustained. On reaching a t?
vote, the section was stricken out by a vote st:
of 62 to 56, and the bill was then passed and
ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. m'

HOW TO DRESS. m
Stiff materials are less manageable and
graceful than soft ones. on
One dull stuff and one glossy stuff unite It
better than two glossy or two dull ones.
Colors near the face should be soft and mi
indescribable. pi'
A woman to be well dressed and to look
her best must concentrate her efforts on tints 18
few and good. ^
Antique lace will last forever, remend ed
and reclean it as much as you please. Being Ul
yellow instead of snow white it scarely ever sk
3hows dirt. Modern lace, however good or so
costly, soon wears out. ^
The worst extravagance is to invest in f?
"shoddy" materials got up by unprincipled Cc
traders to deceive the eye.
One or two really fine jewels are in far ,
better taste than a quantity of mediocre av
ones.
Experience shows that all dull, rich silks ^
wear greasy, that a good satin outlasts three th
silks, and three cheap satins, and that black | th
velvet lasts longer than colored. ^
A set of good fur is never any loss as it ;h
can be cut, rejoined, dispersed, united, worn '
an an evening dress, or a mantle, at will, q:
without harm. toi
A dress or jacket properly made and prop- ^
crly fitted by a good dressmaker, though 9U
this costs more than one made by a novice, na
will look and hang well to the end, while ^
tne omer win not. pr
It is indispensable in buying dresses to remember
what your wardrobe contains, as
two dresses can often be combined into one on
nowadays it the colors are happily chosen, a <
which is a great economy. Qai
Ladies who study economy will never ye
adopt the extravagant in anything, for such mi
fashions never last long.
Women of taste are content with a few
things?and those good?in lieu of a quan- ak
tity of cheap finery. na
Never buy a bonnet that will not go with na
all your dreases and jackets likely to be re- at
quired while the bonnet last?unless you
can afford to wear one to match each suit, sit
Extravagance in dress means not only
spending too much money on it, but also
the patronizing of foolish fashions devised ofl
simply to waste material. ex
A dark thin stuff is infinitely cheaper
than the cheapest pale material, though its ke
original cost be double. 'be
A purposeless chaos of millinery is not ]
beautiful from an aristic point of view, "e?
and probably mischievous from a sanitary ;ln
one. ^
True skill in making up materials conjists
not only in fitting the dress, but in ti
?iving to every morsel of stuff its due val- cli

BIRDS JTpARADISE. j
Mr. Darwin has said: "Birds appear to j
be the most aestnetic 01 an animais, ex-1 ?
uepting of course, man, and they have near-,
ly the same taste for the beautiful that we *
have. This is shown by our enjoyment of j F(
the singing of the birds, and by our wo- ' ,
men, both civilized and savage, decking |
their heads with borrowed plumes and us- ! ^
ing gems which are hardly more brilliantly !
colored than the naked skin and wattles ofj fOJ
certain birds." With civilized people it is ! ofl
the female who is elaborately ornamented, i
hut with the birds the male wears the ! du
most gorgous plumage, the most elegant j lie
jar-tufts, the most brilliant wattles, the i
most splendid top knots and even the (57
ris of the eyes is sometimes more highly j hai
colored in the male than in the female, j ^
The object of this is, without doubt, to at- j gr<
:ract the female. In other cases the male, I ]if(
tar
leprived of beautiful adornment is other- j p,
wise provided. He is, as a rule, the sweet- j
?st songster, and when he has neither vo. al
powers or attractive plumage, he is pro- m<
rided with formidable weapons with which
:o win his bride (or brides) from his an- j
agonist. Thus the males of gallinaceous
airds are provided with spurs, and some ! cu
jven have single and double sets of spurs So:
ipon their wings, as is the case with the j
palamedea. $1.
Male birds of paradise are, without ques-: fre
;ion, the most highly favored, by way of; j
idornraent, of all. The elongated and gold-! ]
in orange plumes that spring from beneath
he wings of the paradisea apado (and which -mn
s not the most beautiful of the species) when X
vertically erected and made to vibrate, are ^nc
iescribed as forming a sort of halo, in the ei
?entre of which the head "looks like a little joe
imerald sun, with its rays formed by the
;wo plumes." In another most beautiful th<
species the head is bald, and of a rich cobalt
jlue, crossed by several lines of black, velvety
feathers. Many birds of elegant plum- i
\ge, such as egrets and herons, retain their
mptial plumes only during the Summer;;
birds of paradise, the peacock and Angust ^
pheasant do not cast their plumes during
the Winter. Whether it is the result of
their surpassing beauty, or due to other ^
?auses, cannot be said, but birds of paradise (
e great polygaraists, the male having genally
fifteen wives. There was formerly a perstition
that these birds lived solely in
e air, but that has long since been exoded,
in common with the mediteval nom
that a certain species of the goose grew j
>on trees.
