A Hard Provision.?Oue of the
Boston theater managers was down on
the seashore last summer, and while
wandering about the hotel piazza ran
across a friend who touched him for a
pass. The manager searched in his
inside pocket, and then shook his head.
"I'd give you one willingly, but I
didn't bring my cards. I don't see
how I cau do it without the pass."
The deadhead looked blank. Suddenly
the manager spoke:
"I'll tell you what I can do. Instead
of usiug a card, I'll just write Tass
bearer' on your shirt front, and that
will get you in all right. Will that do?"
The man assented,and the pass was
written. That evening the deadbeat
showed up at the theater, and the mau
at the gate nodded when he looked at
the shining bosom.
"All right ; that's good."
The deadhead passed through the
gate and started into the theatre. He
had only taken a few steps when the
gatekeeper called him back. The man
looked surprised.
"What's the matter now ? Isn't it
all right ?"
The gatekeeper nodded. "Yes ; but
you must surrender the pass."
MGF When Amos Kendall was postmaster-general,
he sent to the postmaster
in a little town in Alabama the
following: "You will please inform
the department how far the Tombigbee
runs up. ' To which the postmaster
replied : "I have the honor to inform
the department that the Totnbigbee
don't run up at all. It runs down."
A few days after the postmaster received
a letter from headquarters, informing
him that his appointment as
postmaster of the town had been revoked,
and that another man, named,
was appointed his successor. To which
he replied : "The receipts of this office
during the past year have been $2.25,
and the expenses $7.43. Will you
please inform me whether my successor
will pay me the balance?"

tell a good story on the chief justice
of the United States, says the New
York Advertiser.
Twenty years ago Chief Justice Fuller
was practising before Judge McArtbur
in Chicago. In his speech before
the judge he pleaded his client's
ignorance of the law in extenuation of
an offense he had committed. The
judge said : "Every man is presumed
to know the law, Mr. Fuller."
"I am aware of that, your honor,"
responded Mr. Fuller. "Every shoemaker,
tailor, mechanic and illiterate
laborer is presumed to know the law.
Yes, every man is presumed to know
it, except the judges of the supreme
court, and we have a court of appeals
to correct their mistakes."
86T" A son of Erin was coming down
town on the evening of Decoration
Day, feeling very much exhilarated.
He sat iu the street car exclaiming at
short intervals and in various keys,
"H'rah Fr oul' Irelan'." He said it
when the conductor asked him for his
fare, and he said it when some one
asked him to move along and make
room ; he said it when be got off the
car, and to the first man he shouted,
"H'rah f'r oul' Irelan'." The man
didn't sympathize with his mood, and
answered, surlily, "Hurrah for b?11."
The Irishman faced about aud laid a
detaiuing arm on the other man's
shoulder. "Tha's jus' w'at I's 'bout t'

would spare your feelings, for it cau
never, never be. I esteem you highly,
and will be a sister to "
"I have four sisters already," he replied
bitterly, "four grown sisters, and
life is a hideous burden. But, oh Clara,

cannot be my wife, will you not give
me a mother's protecting love? I am

he had gained over the female
heart. "Look," said he, "there's a
handsome present I had from my last
inamorta," at the same time handing
round a beautiful cigar case. All admired
the article, which had an endorsement
of its quality stamped upon
it. "Very nice gift," remarked one ol
the company. "I perceive your lady
love even had your name put on the
case." "Well, that's queer," answered
the boaster, "I never noticed it."
"Look again," rejoined the candid
one; "the case is distinctly marked

t8T It was a Chicago lawyer who, in
his capacity as justice of the peace,
was called upon to marry a couple in
haste. Absent mindedly he began
with the groom: "You do solemnly

all the duties devolving upon you as
husband of this woman, during youi
term of office, and until yoursuccessoi
shall be cboseD and qualified in your

and began again after the manner appropriate
to the occasion.
Lack of Precedent.?A professoi
who used to teach the grandfathers ol
the present generation of students
objected to the word "wound" as if it
was spelled "wooud" and his students
used to hunt for chances to make him

Cor. xv, 2<>? Commentary I*rei>n.re<l
by the Rev. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright. 1S99. by D. M. Stearns.]
11. '"But Mary stood without at tho
i sennleher weeninir. and as she wept she
, stooped down and looked into the sepul1
cher." The women who remained near
; the cross watched until they saw where
His body was laid, then went away and
bought sweet spices that after the Sabbath
was pust they might anoint His body
(Mark xv, 47; xvi, 1). It would seem
that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb
first on that eventful morning and saw
i the stone rolled away, and ran to tell
Peter and John that His body had been
removed. They both ran >o the tomb,
John arriving first, and saw the linen
clothes lying, perhaps as when His body
had been in them, but the napkin from
His head w? s wrapped together in a place
by itself, and then they believed that He
was risen, for us yet they knew not the
Scripture that Ho must rise again from
the dead. They then returned home, but
Mary remained.
12. "And seeth two angels in white,
sitting, the one at the head, and the other
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain." There is no contradiction or discrepancy
between this and the other accounts.
Some saw one angel within and
one without, but that only shows that
angels move about. They were always
ministering unto Him, and they are
always ministering unto us; we may be
as sure of it as if we saw them (Heb. i,
14; Ps. xxxiv, 7; Ex. xxiii, 20).
13. "And they say unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou?" Her answer shows
1 ' * * * a.1.1 ?1.1 ? Ja.W1
mac sue was blllllivlllg Uiiijr U1 a uuiu
Christ, the body in which He had lived,
not the living Christ whom she had
known. We need not wonder, for is it
not very common to 6ee those who have
lost friends clinging to the place where
the body lies instead of looking up to the
happy place where our friends really are
if they have died in Christ? While death
is in no sense a resurrection, yet we know
that absent from the body means present
with the Lord; that to dio is gain and
to depart and be with Christ is very far
better (II Cor. v, 8; Phil, i, 21, 23).
14. "And when she had thus said she
turned herself back and saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that it was Jesus." So
in chapter xxi, 4, the dispiples knew not
that it was Jesus; also in Luke xxiv,
16, the eyes of the two who walked to Emmaus
were liolden that they should not
know Him. Nothing blinds our eyes liko
unbelief apd occupation with ourselves
and our affairs. It is possible to be occupied
with God as was Enoch and Elijah
and Elisha and John the Baptist and
Paul. If filled with the Spirit, wo will
6ee Jesus only and be increasingly occupied
with Him and learn to recognize His
hand in all the events of life.
15. "Jesus saith unto her: Woman, why
weepest thou? Whom seckest thou?"
She did not recognize His voice, and her
cry was as to the angels for the body of
her dead Saviour. Jie ortcn asas us,
"Why arc yc troubled, and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?" (Luke
xxiv, 38.) Or as to Hagar, "What aileth
thee?" (Gen. xxi, 17.) He would have us
without troubled thoughts or fears, for all
His thoughts to us are thoughts of peuco
and not of evil (Jer. xxix, 11).
10. "Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turned herself and saith unto Him, Rabboni,
which is to say, Master." Just one
word from each, but it is enough; heart
meets heart and there is joy. How full
Mary's heart must have been! What a
tumult of emotion! She thought Him
dead, but He is alive and talking to her.
Her eyes behold Him. Yes, it is her
Lord and Master. She had craved His
dead body. It was all she looked for, but
here He is Himself, the same Jesus.
Some day all the dead in Christ shall as
really and literally appear in their resurrection
bodies. What tears shall then be
wiped away!
17. "Jesus saith unto her, Touch Me
not; for I am not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My brethren and say
unto them, I uscend unto My Father and
your Father, and to My God and your
u;c lnv in JTncnnh'c

tomb He had Himself been, I have no
doubt, with the Father, but now in His
resurrection body He was on His way to
His Father as the risen one, our great II igh
Priest. As such Mary was forbidden to
touch Him until He hud ascended. A little
later the other women met Him, held Him
by the feet and worshiped II im. So that between
the time of these two meetings with
Mary and the other women He must have
ascended and returned (Math, xxviii, 9).
IS. ' Mary Magdalene came and told
the disciples that she had seen the Lord,
1 and that He had spoken these things unto
her." These words seemed to them as
i idle tali's, and they believed them not
I (Luke xxiv, 11). Jesus afterward upbraided
them with their unbelief and
, hardness of heart because they believed
' not (Mark xvi, 14). What an honor Ho
conferred upon Mary Magdalene that she
should be the first to see Him mid to ro1
ceivc 11 is first resurrection message!
F Lydia was, as far as we know, the first
' convert in Kuropc under Paul's teaching.
, Let us who are believers, whether men or
j women, be obedient to His command,
, "Go and tell" (lsu. vi, 9; Mark xvi, 7).
19. "Then the same day at evening
j came Jesus and stood in the midst, and
I saith unto them, Peace be unto you." It
was the lirst day of the week, the disciples
were gathered together, and the doors
i were shut for fear; they must therefore
have been securely fastened. Hut without
' being admitted Jesus is suddenly in their
midst. This was nrobublv the fifth aD
' pearance that day. After the two already
mentioned He appeared to Peter and to
i the two who walked to Ernmaus. He api
peared also on five or seven other occa
sions. A week later Ho appeared to tho
. disciples again, Thomas being present,
. with the same greeting, "Peace bo unto
. you" (verse 20).
20. "And when He had so said, He
shewed unto them His hands and His
6ide. Then were the disciples glad when
they saw the Lord." The marks of nails
. and spear in His hand and side are the
p reminders of His great love, and say unto
us among other things: If I so loved
1 you, can I withhold aught from you that
' is good or necessary for you? Can you
; not fully and constantly trust one who so
i loved you and will love you to the end?
) Again He said, "Peace bo unto you; as
, my Father hath sent Me so send I you
(verse 21). Compare chapter xvii, 18.
, Let us not fall to lay to heart the teaching
of I Cor. xv, that if Christ is not
' risen then preaching and faith and bapI
tism and all else are wholly in vain, and
all are perished.

Standing of tho State* With Kcspect to

New York Sun.;. r.T.fl ~ I ^
The total postal receipts of the Uni- u
ted States for this year?a record p
breuker?are estimated ut ?100,000,- V
000. Last year they were ?S7,640,000, a
New York contributing the largest u
item of the total??15,000.000?and b
Alaska the smallest, ?15,000. h
New York collects in postal revenues
more money in a year than does
any other state. Illinois coming second
; but iu the number of postoffices Sl
New York is largely exceeded by
Pennsylvania, which has 5,100 to 3,700
in New York ; and Ohio, with 3,400, is V
not very far behind. There is publish- E
ed in Washington a table showing the o
average amount contributed by each tl
inhabitant of each state to the postal il
revenues. This constitutes a pretty h
fair gauge of the intellectual develop- S
ment and activity in each state. At ti
the head of the list is Massachusetts g
with an average last year of ?2.30 per u
inhabitant. Next follows New York p
with ?2.27, then the District of Colum- w
bia with ?2.16, Colorado with ?1.93 E
and Connecticut with ?1.80. Thirty- sl
third in respect to tne nuraoer 01 post- p
offices, Colorado is fourth among the S
states in respect to the average amount ei
of collections for postage. They ft
amounted to $926,000 last year, and tl
will certainly exceed $1,000,000 this IV
year. It is observable that all the Pa- It
cific states appear to pay for a large n
amount of correspondence. Califor- k
nia, 21st in the number of postoffices, o
is sixth among the states and territo- ti
ries in the per capita collection. Ne- K
vada, 47th among the states in the si
number of postoffices, is eighth in the w
number of collections, the seventh tl
state on the list being Vermont, c<
The postal collections in Illinois b
amount approximately to $1.50 per w
capita a year, and the other states with b
the same amount of collections per a
capita are Rhode Island, Montana, ri
New Hampshire, Maine and North tl
Dakota, the New England and North- si
western States having in this particu- if
lar many points of resemhlance. Penn- ir
sylvania collects about $1.30 per capita, w
New Jersey $1.25 and Wyoming, Mich- t<
igan, Maryland, Minnesota and Ohio h
have about the same amount. Mis- b
souri, Iowa, Oregon, Idaho and Kan- tl
sas, four agricultural states, contribute t<
an average of between $1.02 and $1.14 w
to the postal revenues for each inhab- ?<:
itant. With a present population of b
probably 75,000,000, the contribution V
of $1 of postal revenue would repre- ft
sent a total of $75,000,000, or $12,000,- o
000 less than was taken in last year, ft
The present average is about $1.36 per h
capita. Two states widely separated t<
and differing from each other offer in b
all essential particulars of business, c<
Utah and Wisconsin, collect identical- b
ly the same amount per capita in postal V
revenue in a year. Utah has 331 post ci
offices; Wisconsin has nearly 1,900; p
but the per capita collections of the r<
two states are the same, 97 cents per ti
year per inhabitant. Nebraska and tl
Florida have the same collection per si
capita ; as have South Dakota and the nIndian
Territory. Delaware collects Ij
85 ceuts per capita from its 172 post- le
offices, Indiana has 2,200 postoffices, w
and collects 78 cents. Virginia, b
fourth among the states in the number b
of postoffices (it has 3,360,) collects d
68 cents, Oklahoma 65, West Virginia t<
64, Louisiana 65, Texas 57, Tennessee w
55, Georgia 53, and Kentucky 49. d
Kentucky stands very low in its coo- tl
tribution to the postal revenues, col- E
lecting in a year about the same p
amount as the state of Kansas and less tl
than half as much per capita. Ken- K
tucky has 2,200 postoffices, 2,000 more h
than Massachusetts ; but for every dol- b
lar of postal revenue collected in Ken- G
tucky, Massachusetts collects $5. Next t<
below Kentucky is Alaska with only g
38 postoffices, but an average revenue d
per inhabitaut of 43cents a year. Af- si
ter Alaska is North Carolina, then Ar- a
kansas, then Alabama with an average c!
of 35 cents, then Mississippi with an w
average of 31 cents, though it has 1,800
postoffices, and finally the fifty-first i
and last on the list of states and ter- ?
ritories, South Carolina, with an aver- jt
age collection of only 25 cents per iu- \i

CHESTER?The Lantern, May 30:
stated on Friday that Mr. H. B.

f keeping a nuisance in violation of
je dispensary law, to wit, "a beer privege."
A preliminary hearing was
ad before Magistrate Williams on
aturday and the case was sent up for
rial in a higher court. Mr. Howie
ave bond. Walker Carroll, his clerk,
as discharged. This "privilege" was
robably operated in about.the same
'ay that many others in the state are.
Jvidence was presented, however, to
bow that the requirements of the disensary
law were not complied with,
aturday afternoon, Judge Gage grantrl
an injunction restraining Mr. Howie
om reopening a beer business pending
le case against him. Mr. J. Y.
liller, of Gastonia, who is closely reited
to some of our people, will be
larried June 14th, to Miss Bettie Jenins,
daughter of Mr. W. W. Jenkins,
f Yorkville. Saturday night, beveen
9 and 10 o'clock, Mr. H. B.
[owie went to Mr. Joseph A. Walker's
called him out. and. after a few
ords, drew a pistol and shot twice,
le first shot striking near the outer
orner of the left eye, shaving the
row. The skin was scarcely cut; hut
ras burnt with powder. The other
ullet entered the outside of the left
rm just below the point of the elbow,
inged downward, passing between
3e two bones, and lodged under the
tin near the wrist. It was as flat as
'it had been hammered out. Accordig
to the statements of persons who
'ere present, Mr. Howie came in and
)ld Mr. Walker that he wished to see
im. Mr. Walker told him he was
usy ; but would speak to him right
iere. Mr. Howie said he preferred
) see him outside. Mr. Walker then
'alked out with bim to the pavement. ,
Ir. Howie then asked him why be
ought that bottle of beer? Mr.
/alker answered that it was simply
>r the purpose of making a legal ttst
f bis right to sell beer ; that he asked
>r bim at bis place of business when
e got the beer, with the intention of
filing bim what his purpose was in
uying it; but as he was not there he
ould not tell him. Mr. Howie then
egan abusing and cursing him. Mr.
talker told him that there was no
all for such language, that under the
resent circumstances he would not
jsent anything he could say, and such
ilk would do his case no good. With
tat he turned as if to go into his
.ore, and he saw the pistol flash allost
in his eye. Another shot quickr
followed. This, coming from the
ift and rear, with the elbow bent,
'ould probably have gone through the
ody, had it uot been turned by the
one. Mr. Walker stepped up on the
oor sill, then turned facing Mr. Howie
)ld him be could shoot again it ne
isbed, and denounced him as a low
own cowardly villain, to attack in
lat way a defenceless man. Mr.
lowie stood for a moment with bis
istol in bis hand and then went across
ie square, through the New York
Jacket, and to the jail, where he gave
imself up. He is still in jail. We
am that he has retained Messrs.
rlenu & McFaddeu and Paul Hemphill
) defeud him. Naturally there is a
ood deal of deep indignation at the
eed ; but it is quiet. As we under:aud
it, Mr. Howie has forfeited his
ppearauce bond, as it contains a peace
lause, naming especially Mr. Walker,
bo swore out the warrant.

book-keeper for both stores.
Mr. J. A. Page is transferred to the
Banking company, and Mr. Craton
Sevier is wrapping clerk in charge of
the railway cash system in the dry
goods store. Mr. J. F. Thomas is
manager of both stores. The new
management is certainly turning things
around. They will give special attention
to their retail trade ; but will not
handle fresh meats, preferring to leave
that to the regular meat markets.
