AS WE GROW OLD.
As we grow old our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant ;* .<
We grope, as though in darkened ways,
Through all that is existent.
Yet far-off days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded,
And faces dead seem strangely near I
To tboso that life has shaded. j
As we grow old our tears are few
For'friends most lately taken ; I
But fall?as fall the summer dew <
From roses lightly shaken? I
When some chance word or idle strain, . |
The cords of memory sweeping,
Unlock the ttood-gates of our pain
For those who taught us weeping.
As we grow old our smiles are rare j
To those who greet us daily,
Or, if some living faces wear
The looks that beam so gaily,
From eyes long closed?and we should smile I
In answer to their wooing, <
'Tis but the past that shines the whilo
Our power to smile renewiug.
As we grow old our dreams at night
Are never of the morrow;
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
Or dark with olden sorrow.
And when we wake the names we say
Are not of any mortals;
Bat of those in some long dead day
Passed through life's sunset portals.

A Dependent Citizen.?The follow?
-ing true story is told of a well-known
m&nber of the bar in Alleghany county,
New York, than whom there never lived a
gentler, kindlier spirit. With his scholarly
attainments and profound knowledge
of legal lore, he possessed the simple, de^^^pendent
nature of a child, and, it may be
added, a child's utter guilelessness and
faith in his kind.
. His wife, fortunately for the worldly
success of the pair, was shrewd and practical
in a marked degree; upon her strong
independence of character Judge C. leaned
heavily, except within the domain of his ;
profession, where, curiously enough, his !
opinions were singularly prompt and in- '
fallible. In the domestic and social cir
cles, however, he deferred to Mrs. C. in
the simplest matters, and so habitual had
this state of things become that it did not '
occur to either of them that there was anything
unusual in it. From donning his
winter flannels to leading a card at the
whist table he never pretended to act \
without "Helen's" sanction and advice.
But one day he showed his condition of 1
mental servitude in a really astonishing *
way. He was suffering from toothache, !
and his wife sent him to the village den- !
tist for relief. Obediently he went, got ;
into the chair, and opened his mouth for 1
the preliminary examination.
"Which tooth is it aches, judge?" in- 1
quired the dentist, poising the forceps.
There was a moment's hesitation ; then 1
the judge sat up from his reclining posi- j
tion, and looking innocently at the dentist, '
said, in all good faith, "Well, now, I don't
know; I'll go home and ask Helen."

"My final answer." ,

"Nothing."
"Then my life will be a lonely one and ]

"Just died?"
"Yes, and left me?" ,
"That fact somewhat alters the case, ,
Henry. I cannot be harsh to any one who
has sustained such a recent bereavement. (
If I could believe that you are sincere?" i
"Sincere ? Oh! Miss Stubbles !"
"You have certainly made an impression ,

down to supper, "do you know why I am

expecting his wife to give it up. But she
didn't. She looked at him somewhat commiseratingiy
as she answered, "I suppose

THE RELATIVE VALUE OF MEAT AS POOD.
Beef? Among all civilized people beef
is regarded as the principal animal food.
By common consent we admit that beef is
more nutritious than any other kind of
flesh. This universal opinion is supported
by the investigations of science. There is
i larger proportion of nutritious material
in beef than in the flesh of the sheep or
flog. Beef is of closer texture, and is fullsrof
red-blood juices. Itisricherin flavor
than the flesh of any other domestic animal,
and a smaller amount of it will satisfy
hunger.
Veul is not nearly so nutritious as beef,
and is much more difficult of digestion.
Some persons are wholly unable to digest
veal, and when they eat of it, it acts as a
(Ko intocHnou ftnH ORUSPS
luicigu UUUJ ill 1/llV^ lUivovtuvw) ??.v
griping and diarrhiea. It is more easy of
digestion when well roasted or broiled
than when boiled. The time required for
the digestion of veal is five hours or more,
while beef is digested in from two-and-a
half to three hours.
Mutton.?This is more easily digested
than beef, though in a healthy man no
marked difference would be observed,
since in the stomach of such a man there
arises no inconvenience from the digestion
of beef. However, mutton will be found
to tax the stomach of the dyspeptic less
than beef does, and mutton broth is both
acceptable and valuable to a person suffering
from dysentery or kindred affections
of the bowels. But mutton is not so nitritious
as beef.
In dressing a mutton the woolly coat
should not be allowed to touch the flesh.
There is quite a perceptible difference in
the flavor of mutton taken from a fattened
wether, which has been for sometime deprived
of all excess in his woolly coat, and
of that taken from a sheep which has a
heavy fleece. The smallest proportion of
both fat and bone to muscle is found in the
leg; consequently this is the most valuable
part of the animal.
Lamb.?-This is not nearly so nutritious
as mutton. The tissue is soft, gelatinous,
and rich in water. It is used principally
on account of its delicacy of flavor, which,
however, is very valuable, depending upon
the breed and nourishment. Lamb should
not be selected for those whose digestive
organs are weak.
Pork, Bacon and Ham.?As a rule, dried
meats are more difficult of digestion than
the same meats in the fresh state. Bacon
and ham are, however, exceptions to this
rule, for when well cured they are digested
with more ease than fresh pork. In
cold weather, nice bacon is especially suited
for furnishing a large amount of heat
by its oxidation in the body. The inhabitants
of cold countries find fatty food
necessary to their existence.
For several reasons the flesh of the hog
must continue to form one cf the most important
sources of our food. This animal
can be fattened more readily and at less
cost than either the ox or sheep. The best
breeds ofj>igs store up in their bodies three
times astouch of the food wnicn tney eat
is the ox does. Then the flesh can be
cured easily and preserved indefinitely.
Again, the animal multiplies rapidly and
reaches maturity speedily.
On the other hand, of all meats ordinarily
eaten, this is most likely to be diseased.
The flesh of the hog, therefore,
should not be eaten unless it has been
thoroughly cook,ed.
Good Roads.?The public roads of the
United States have cost several hundred
million dollars. Many millions are annually
expended in keeping them in repair.
It is safe to say that not one-half of thi?
outlay is applied in an intelligent and systematic
manner. Millions are literally
wasted every year. The country has been
aroused to what are regarded the impositions
and oppressions of monopolies.
Those who are loudest in this complaint
are constantly and quietly permitting
enormous losses by the mismanagement
of roads and by road taxes. One of the
best things which farmers and country
residents could do, would be to hold occasional
public meetings in each town 01
road district, discuss the matter, find out
how much they lose by bad roads and how
they could be improved to the best advantage.
If they could thus be induced
to inquire and think, a great improvement
would not fail to be the result?all ol
flflfich might be done without a change ol
the laws.
Variety of Food.?If we wish to have
our hens healthy and productive we must

good health and at the proper age are in
condition to be productive; but if fed upon
one or two kinds of food delusively, without
having access to range, their condition
under this regimen is not a high
state of health.
Fowls, intelligently as well as naturally,
like a variety of food. Green onion tops,
chopped fine, are good for young or old
fowls; milk in any form is an excellent
food to aid them in shelling out. Cabbage
is a yery desirable green food for winter
use. Potatoes mashed and mixed with
meal are beneficial. Turnips for a change
come not amiss; and, in fact, there is
scarcely a vegetable used upon the table
but may also be used to advantage in the
food of poultry.?[Poultry Monthly.
Extemporized Sea-ijathino .?People
who have no opportunity to enjoy seabathing
will be glad to know that a substitute,
nearly if not quite as strengthening,
is found in an ammonia bath. A gill oi
liquidammoniaina pail of water makes an
invigoratingsolution, the delightful effects
of which can only be compared to a
plunge in the surf. To weak persons
this is recommended as an incomparable
luxury and tonic. It cleanses the
skin and stimulates it wonderfully, and
leaves the flesh as firm and cool as marble.
More than this, the ammonia purifies the
body from all odors of perspiration. Those
in whom the secretion is unpleasant, will
find relief by using a spoonful of the tincture
in a basin of water and washing the
armpits with it every morning.
Fattening Fowls.?One need not be
much of an epicure to be able to distinguish
readily the difference between a
fowl that has been shut up and delicately
fed for a time before killing, and one thai
has been forced to scratch for a living.
Confine fowls intended for the table in a
darkened place, give them plenty of milk
either fresh, thick or sour, with grain and
table scraps, and you will have a delicate
article of food, with no strong "chicken'
flavor about it?[Exchange.
A Cup of Chocolate.?Into a half-pinl
of perfectly boiling water throw an ounce
of chocolate grated or scraped fine. Put ir
the same quantity of sugar. In anothei
dish heat to near the boiling-point a half
Eint of milk, and when the chocolate has
oiled five or ten minutes, remove it froir
the fire, pour in the milk, and serve
These directions, carefully followed, wil
insure a much better result than if th<
milk were boiled with the chocolate. Th(
milk should in no case reach the boiling
point. ^
BST All keepers and feeders of cows
should bear this in mind, that a cow can
not make cud when fed on shorts or mea

feed, either in the manger or in the ani

these substances before feeding, as the mo
tion of the stomach will mix them sufii
ciently to form a cud.
Fire-Places.?The inside of brick fire
places may be improved in appearance bj
using the following application : Mix drj
Spanish brown in sweet milk about th<
same consistency as paint, and apply wit!

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
GOVERNOR F1TZ1IUGJI LEE'S ADVICE TO
THE J'RESIDENT ELECT.
The Most Sensible Advice yet Tendered the
Incoming Administration on thcAU-PerPcrvading
Southern Quest ion?Help the
Negro and Avoid Trouble by Letting the
South Alone.
The Richmond correspondentof the New
York Herald had a long and interesting
I conversation with Governor Fit/.hugh Lee,
of Virginia, a few days ago, in regard to
the South and the Southern policy of Gen.
Harrison. The Herald correspondent rem.>.burl

Harrison the race question had come into
prominence, and that it was being widely
discussed by the Northern people, where,upon
Governor Lee said :
"True, but the discussion of the matter
down here antedates the election. This
question of races has been earnestly canvassed
for years, but more especially during
the last few months. And it's a knotty
point. Its solution will tax the best
minds of the country. It can't be solved
by Federal power or authority, though
many colored people imagine Gen. Harrison
will be able to solve it. We have an
anomolous condition of things. There is
no other country in the world where in two
distinct races?races that can never assimilate,
that can have but a few interests in
common?are made politically equal by
law. If you look abroad?in Europe, for
instance?you will find that similar peoples
only come under one general government.
Germans are governed by Germans,
French by Frenchmen, Spaniards
by Spanish, and even Poles by Poijijklefsp
though under pressure of Russian officials.
Ireland may in some measure be cited as
an exception; but though British laws
may be unjustly enforced, there is not so
wide a difference between the average intelligence
of the two peoples. Imagine
Spain again governed by the Moors, and it
will notseem so strange as absolute domination
of the South by the freed men. To
ta^c of the majority being in control in
this respect is to accept a theory which cannot
be put in practice. Look at the teeming
millions of blacks in India. Are they
not in a majority that is overwhelming?
Yet they are governed by laws made for
them in London, in which they have no
participation. There is no thought of putting
the Asiatics on a par'politically with
the whites. Rut here in this e-reat demon
racy, and it is theonly place in the universe,
the national Constitution declares whites
and blacks are politically on equal terms."
WHERE THE DANGER IS.
"Suppose the colored people should seek
to have this constitution privilege carried
out to the fullest extent, governor, what
would happen ?"
"I think they won't seek to do anything
of the kind if left to themselves. If they
should, however, there must necessarily
be trouble. Personally I am on good
terms with colored people. A short time
ago, on invitation, I rode out to review a
body of colored troops at a military encampment,
and finally I ended by making
them a little speech. For this a deputation
waited on me and declared that the
colored men of the State had determined
to send me here for another term? 4Gwan
ter send you up again,' as they put it?
notwithstanding the State Constitution
makes me ineligible for a second term.
I had pleased them and they were desirous
of showing their appreciation of my
slight service by re electing me?a generous
impulse characteristic of the race, perhaps,
though to do so would be in violation
of the fundamental law of the State.
They never once stopped to consider that."
A PERPLEXING PROBLEM.
"But, Governor," I said, "the colored
man is here to stay. He is a fact. How
(lAvnn nrnnnsft tn treat him ?"
j r't""" ?
"Questions easily asked, not easily answered.
As he is now, laboring and assisting
in the development of States, he is all
right. Leave him alone and he will thrive
proportionally with the rest of us. Upset
him, fill his head with false and pernicious
notions of assimilation and social equality,
and you destroy his usefulness as an integer.

and sweltering in filth in mud cabins.
That wouldn't do.
"They couldn't all live in the Indian
Territory if it were made legal to send
them there. As to sending them Northwell,
try it. You couldn't drive them to
emigrate, so here they are.
"A noted preacher called upon me recently,
and, talking the matter over, he
said : 'Christianize them ; make them better
morally and they will be better citizens,
and the gulf, politically and socially,
separating them from you will be lessened.'
'Possibly,' I said, 'and the sooner
you begin the better.' But, you know it
is easier to talk than to act. I have not
heard that this gentleman made any effort
whatever to put his theory into effect.
Make the freedman a pious man and a
reader, as your laborers are in New York,
and you have made a big step toward
solving the race difficulty. How many
colored men buy and read newspapers
and healthful periodicals? Very few.
They don't rush from their workshops or
labor to the news-stands and secure papers
aud books with which to cultivate their
minds. People who have very imperfect
ideas of the subject talk flippantly of the
compulsory'intercourse of the Caucasian
and African races as if the intelligence of
both were equal."
NEGROES DON'T PAY TAXES.
"Are the colored men not taxpayers?"
"As a rule no. The white population
pays 90 per cent, of all taxation?about
that. No matter for what purpose a tax
is wanted it comes out of the white man's
pocket. Go to the public schools and you
will learn that 80 per cent, of the scholars
are colored?result of race prejudice if you
like, but nevertheless a fact. Scarcely a
dollar of negro money is contributed to
their support. The same applies to reformatory
and penal institutions. Out of
a thousand convicts, say, you find eight
hundred blacks. Charitable institutions,
again, furnish about 90 per cent of all their
benefits to colored people. Now take all
these things fairly into consideration and
then ask yourself the question whether
the white population, in addition to paying
all the bills for the negro's benefit, will
also permit him, because he has the majority
on his side, to secure absolute control
of municipal and,State government.
In Mississippi the same general cflfiditioifc'
prevail that we have here, but with this
particular difference, that there are three
negroes to every white man in the State.
"Now, suppose it were in Gen. Harrison's
power to carry out his promise of
'completing real negro suffrage' and compel
every negro vote cast to be counted for
the liepublican candidates, who would be,
of course, negroes, what would be the result?
Why, the white people would not
only be compelled to pay all taxes, support
all public institutions and provide all
necessary capital for the development and
maintenance of all industries, but they
would have to submit to be governed en
tirely by colored men. mat wouiu De a
great state of affairs, would it not?"
HARRISON'S TROURLESOME PLEDGE.
"How, then," 1 asked "do you suppose
Gen. Harrison can carry out his alleged
pledge to the colored people of the South ?"
"Simply by leaving them alone," was
the general's quick reply. "He cannotdo
anything to hurt us that will not at the
same time hurt you. Northern capital is
here helping us, not perhaps because the
capitalists love us so much as that they
need profitable investments and find them
here. But in helping themselves they
help us, and we are naturally glad to have
them here. The time for animosities has
gone forever. When I tell you that such
men as Morton, Bliss Co., Brown Brothers
Co., the Viyiderbilts, John J. Astor
and others of equal prominence in finance
and trade are investing in Southern enterprises,
you may rest assured that Republicans,
as many of them are, are not
going to sanction any policy or course that
will create disturbances, upset values and
destroy confidence, which any 'dragooning'
would quickly do."
WHERE NEGRO GOVERNMENT FAILED.
First Auditor Marye had drawn up his
chair close to the governor's table, and at
this point said: "It's a singular thing
that if prominent Republicans consider
the colored man so capable of govern- j
ment they do not leave him in control in
Washington. If he is entitled to govern ;
anywhere by force of majority it is in the \
District of Columbia. But the freedinan 1
i i
was summarily deprived of power there.
Lincoln's fatherly policy was swept aside
when it was seen that black buffoonery
took the place of sensible legislation or
oridinances. It became so that whenever
there was a public meeting visitors rushed
to see it as tney would to see Mr. Crowley,
the six-legged calf, the bearded woman or
Barn urn's curiosities. Congress had to
step in and place the District in charge of
a commission, with the result that Washington
is to-day about the only city in all
these United States that has no municipal
government. Now, if colored men couldn't
govern right, under the nose and tuition
of their best friends and advisers, how is
it to be expected they will govern in South
Carolina and Mississippi?"
"Yes," continued the governor, "Washington
has the proud distinction of being
about the only municipality that has no
municipal government. They didn't relish
colored control up there, and so brushed
it aside with little compunction and
few regrets. Here comes in the old saw,
'What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander.'"
"LEAVE I'S ALONE."
"What do you propose, then?" I asked.
"If Gen. Harrison were to send for me
and ask my advice on what he ought to do
for the South, I should say, 'Mr. President,
such and such are present conditions.
They are not altogether of our own creating,
but we have done the best we could
under the circumstances. So far as negro
suffrage is concerned you cannot do anything.
The same Constitution that gives
you certain powers gives us certain rights
which you can't infringe. The States were
careful to safeguard our rights when they
made up that document. All regulations
touching the management and counting of
ballots are admittedly State regulations,
matters properly belonging to State Legislatures,
Uncle Sam's rights at polling places
being respected. If you apply any special
rules to us, the same must apply with equal
force in Maine and Massachusetts, in New
York and Indiana?in fact you can't apply
any law to us that will not apply to them
precisely the same way. The South,
like each of the other sections of the country,
if you must continue to have 'sections,'
has her destiny in her own hands.
She will work out her own salvation. But
she must have the same control over her
affairs as the North, East and West. You
can, however, do us one great favor. Appoint
respectable men to Federal offices.
Keep out the scalawags and rascals who
made Republican rule in other days a byword
and reproach. Put'decent men in
post offices, so that when our wives and
daughters go for their letters they will not
be insulted. Put men in the custom houses
who will honestly protect the revenue and
protect home interests. Give us talent and
purity in the United States courts, which
will adrainster justice and not be mere
carpet-bag politicians. Discountenance the
old Republican policy of irritating the
colored man in order to use him for merely
party services. Leave him to learn
something useful; permit him to share in
the general prosperity by cultivating conditions
that will ensure him profitable
employment. You can thus help the South
to her true aosition as an integral part of
the Union.* We won't ask for anything
better and we think we are entitled to ask
this much at least. But if the negro is
misled and made troublesome, why so
much the worse for him. This is my statement
and I have nothing further to add.'"
" 'Profitable work,' then, you think, is
what the negro needs to help forward his
salvation ?"
"Yes," replied the governor, "that will
. be his safeguard. When our railroads and
mines are fully developed he will find
plenty of work, and he will thus share in
the general prosperty. Wealth made in
manufactures and agricultural industries
finds its way into real estate. Our towns
will grow, and increased population will
demand increased dwellings, and these
will necessitate labor, thus giving labor its
full share, promoting harmony and happiness."

OF BERIEN COUNTY.
Would not lake $1,000 for It?Relieved of
Fifteen Years' Suffering from Dyspepsia.
Alapaha, Ga., June22,1887.?B. B. B. Company,
Atlanta, Ga.?Gentlemen: I had suffered
from that terrible disease, dyspepsia, for
over fifteen years, and during that time tried
everything I could hear of, and spent over
three hundred dollars in doctors' bills, without
receiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I
continued to grow worse. Finally, after I
despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended
B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I
began using it; not, however, expecting to be
benefitted. After using half a bottle I was satisfied
that I was being benefitted, and when
the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a new man.
I would not take $1,000 for the good it has done
me; in fact, the relief I derived from it is priceless.
I firmly believe that I would have died
had I not taken it. Respectfully, etc.,
Thomas Paut.k.

THE Y0RKVILLE ENQUIRER.
Reduction in Price to ClnbN.
$100.00 IN PREMIUMS TO CLUB-MAKERS.
Prospectus for 1889.
TIIE features of THE ENQUIRER, which
have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five
years, will be continued in the future, while
new attractions will be added, it being our determination
to increase and maintain the popularity
of the paper with the masses of tne
people, and especially those of York county.
vVith this idea in view, we shall devote especial
attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES
and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by
York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and
in employing our columns in the
development of these. The completion of an
important line of railroad, traversing the entire
length from east to west of the county, will
add new life and animation all along the line of
its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible
throughout the county. It renders
possible the inauguration of new enterprises
and the better development of the hidden
wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of
which THE ENQUIRER, as in the past, will
ever be a ready and cheerful instrument.
OUR PREMIUM PLAN.
Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the
case that the premiums we have heretofore offered
for the largest clubs are not suited to
the wants of those to whom they are awarded,
we have decided to offer only CASH PREMIUMS
for the five largest clubs as follows:
For the largest club for one year, $35; for the
second largest clubs, ?25; for the third largest
club, ?15; for the fourth largest club, ?10; and
for the fifth largest club, ?5.
COKTDITIONT8,
These cash premiums will be awarded on
the following conditions:
To the persons getting u p clubs of subscribers
to the ENQUIRER, at ?1.75 per annum for
each subscriber, will be awarded the premiums
as stated above.
The time for completing the clubs under the
aboye offer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the
SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1880. Competitors
may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS
AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence
whenever the name is handed in. The
money for each subscriber is expected to be
paid at the time the name is entered upon our
books, and no name will be counted in competition
for a premium and no premium delivered
until the subscription price has been paid.
To pcrsQps who make up clubs of ten or
more names. b'i?fwho may rairid~oblarrr oiiB'br"
the above premiums, we willsend the ENQUIRER
for one yc^r free of charge, and to those
who send a club of twenty or more names, but
who may fail to get a premium, we will forward
the ENQUIRER one year free of charge,
and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspa
Eer or monthly magazine published in the
Ini ted States, the publication to be selected by
the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will
give a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year
for a club of ten, and for all names oyer ten in
such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name.
It is not necessary that the names of a club
should all bo at the same post office. Names
may be taken at any number of places. One
name for two years will be equivalent to two
names for one year each. i
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at
the expense of those sending them.
We will be responsible for the safe transmission
of money only when sent by draft, registered
letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville
post office.
In sending names, write plainly, giving
postoffice, county and State.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration of the time paid for.
A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker,
who will be credited with every name
sent, so that the number sent by any one person
can be ascertained at a moment's notice.
Persons who commence making clubs will
not be permitted, after the names have been
entered on our books, to transfer the names to
another club-maker's list.
The time in which additions may be
made to clubs under this proposition, will expire
on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH,
1881). Therefore, persons who desire the benefit
of club rates, mustsubscribe and pay for the
paper before that date, as after the expiration
of that time it will not be furnished for less
than ?2.00 unless now clubs are formed.
All letters should be addressed to
