The latter had an idea that there was only one sensible and manly way to comb the hair, that was to part it on the side?either side. Everything else was dudish and affected in his opinion. Only a woman was privileged to take liberties with old established methods. "Young man," he said as he looked the youth over,* "you look like a fool." There was no discussion and shortly thereafter an old friend of the family came in. "It's startling," he said, by way of pleasant comment, "how much you resemble vour father." "So he's just been telling me," answered the youth. The old gentleman looked hard at his son for a moment. "Well," he conceded at last, "I guess your brain hasn't been affected by your fool notions of hair dressing as yet."? Brooklyn Eagle.

Kiser, in the Kingston, Wis., Spy. % Advised the Court.?Jim Webster, a colored gentleman, was brought up before a western judge for fowl stealing. After the evidence had been given the justice with a perplexed look said: "But I do not understand, Webster, how it was possible for you to steal those fowls when they were roosting right under the owner's window and there were two vicious dogs in the yard." "It wouldn't do yer a bit of good, jedge, for me to 'splain how I cotched dem chickens, for yer wouldn't do it yerself if yer tried it forty times, an' yer might get yer hide full of buckshot.

Judge Cleaveland's office is termed Surrogate in New York, but In Connecticut is called judge of probate. One day a German woman came into court and announced excitedly: "Chudge, my husband has joost died detested. He left me and three young infidels and I want an executioner appointed!" His honor was too staggered to reply immediately. The woman, fearing some mistake, added: "Ain't this the right place? Ain't you the chudge of reprobates?"?New York Times. Sensible to the Last.?A good story is told of a late Dublin doctor famous for his skill and also his great love of money. He had a constant and enriching patient in an old shopkeeper. This old lady was terribly rheumatic and unable to leave her sofa. During the doctor's visits she kept a one pound note in her hand, which duly went into Dr. C.'s pocket. One morning he found her lying dead on the sofa. Sighing deeply, the doctor approached, and, taking her hand in his, he saw the fingers closed on his fee. "Poor thing!" he said as he pocketed it!

" Cream Color'll Do.?A nephew of Col. Lanham, of Texas, tells the following story of a Negro baptizing in Texas. An old Negro preacher did the honors, and the candidate for baptism was a coal-black Negro woman. The preacher led his victim far out into the stream, where she could be thoroughly _ immersed, and at the auspicious moment he cried in a loud voice: "lie stiddy, sister, be stiddy, and you will cum up whitah den snow!"

October 8: The site for the Federal building to be erected in this city, has not yet been selected. Indeed, according to a Washington letter which appeared in The State a few days ago, it is not probable that the lot accepted by the government will be known for a month or longer. The statement is as follows: "According to the new regulations, however, put into effect by Assistant Secretary A. A. Taylor, these reports will not be made public for thirty days after they have been submitted. The department has had so much trouble recently over the question of sites, arising largely from the 'kicks' on the part of disgruntled citizens of towns where sites have been chosen, that a rule was adopted intended to relieve this trouble. When an architect settles upon a lot he makes a report recommending its purchase by the government. A circular is then sent out to the postmaster of the town in question with request that it be posted in his office. This circular announces that the department has arrived at a decision In the matter and that thirty days will be given to all who desire to make complaints, after which time no more protests will receive the attention of the department. And all this time the report Is kept from the public. No one outside of the officials is permitted to know the nature of the architect's decision. Merely the announcement that the department has reached a decision is all the material upon which the kickers have to kick, and they are requested to do all their kicking In the specified time." In regard to the early commencement of work, Mr. Nealy, the treasury agent who was recently in Rock Hill, said in Florence a few days ago that the rule in letting out contracts Is to follow the list as It appears in the appropriations act, and as Rock Hill is low down in the list we may not hope for the commencement of work before the early spring..^...Mrs. John Williams, of the Beth Shlloh neighborhood, and Miss Bessie Williams, of Yorkville, visited at the home of W. W. Miller in Oakland Friday and Saturday... John Alexander Thompson, a native of York county, died in Lancaster last Wednesday, aged 60 years. He married Miss Ellen M. Knox, and of eight children born to them, seven survive him, viz.: W. B., S. A., and J. M. Thompson: Mrs. J. F. Collins and Misses F. L., C. W. and Plummie Thompson. He served through the civil war and was one of the most gallant of Confederate soldiers. He was never known to shirk duty, and during the entire war was never on the sick list. Always at his post of duty yet he was never wounded or captured. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and for the last fourteen years of his life was an elder In the church../S^Prof. H. D. Wolff and Miss Louise Lbwry, of Yorkville, spent Saturday in the city with Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Poag. CHESTER. Lantern, October 7: Mr. A. Rose, passed through the city yesterday on his way from Columbia to his home in Yorkville.r^<Mr. D. E. Boney, of Yorkville, is in the city visiting his daughter, Mrs. S. E. Colvin....Coroner Gladden informs us that he has heard on good authority that a strange phenomenon takes place on Mr. W. E. Wade's farm near Broad river, below Wilksburg, in either hot or cold weather. It seems%that the earth rises and falls and small flint rocks rise entirely off of the ground. Some of the rocks hit Mr. Wade in the face. The temperature may have something to do with the occurence as it only takes place in hot and cold weather..^.A unique marrlnero tnnk nlaee at the eountv home about three miles from town last Tuesday. Rev. John Bass Shelton was to preach to the Inmates, and was also to officiate at the marriage of Mr. G. W. Hodge and Miss Clara Hudson. Unfortunately Mr. Shelton was absent from town on that day and Mr. Hodge was almost broken-hearted as the hour approached and no preacher arrived. When it was learned that Mr. Shelton would not be present, Mr. Hodge appealed to Dr. Johnson, who happened to be present, to get a preacher somewhere. Rev. B. G. Murphy was called in and soon had the couple in the desired condition?namely, married. Mr. Hodge is in his 87th year and Miss Hudson in her 44th year..Mr. Wilson, who lives about 12 miles from here in York county, had a narrow escape from a maddog last Sabbath about 3 o'clock. He was in the road in front of his home when a dog suddenly jumped upon him. Mr. Wilson was unarmed, but managed to keep the dog off with his hands. He held the maddog and called a dog from the house. As soon as the maddog saw the other dog he left Mr. Wilson and jumped on the house dog. Mr. Wilson embraced this opportunity and also a tree and was soon out of reach. His only injury was a small scatch on the arm. It was learned later that the madstone, belonging to Mr. L. D. Childs was applied to the wound on the arm. The stone adherred two hours at the first application, and one hour and a half at the second. After this it refused to stick. The bitten man's name is Mr. John Wilson. LANCASTER. Ledger, October 8: Rev. Chalmers Fraser and Mr. W. J. Cunningham left Monday for York county to attend the fall meeting or uetnel .Presbytery Married, on Sunday last, by Magistrate J. W. Sowell, Mr. Leonard Bird, of Flat Creek, and Miss Lula Holley, a daughter of Mr. Robert Holley. Mr. Bird and bride left Monday for Andalusia Ala., where he has accepted a position as bookkeeper for Ashe, Carson & Co On Friday last, at Hyatt's ginnery, at Van Wyck, Wash Banks, colored, was accidentally killed by a bale of cotton being thrown out from the press upon him. He was told to move out of the way and the hands rolling out the cotton thought he had done so. Dr. Ezzell was summoned, but the Negro died in a few hours. The cotton struck him about the shoulders and crushed him to the ground. He talked some after the accident and did not seem to think he was ba'dly hurt. Some one, it is supposed asleep at the closing time, got locked up in Mr. W. P. Bennett's store Saturday night. He lowered one side of the iron bar at the back door and got one of the doors prized open sufficiently to squeeze himself through and get out. Nothing was missing and the purpose of the party evidently was not robbery*^)^... Cards have been issued to the marriage of Miss Mary Louise Thompson to Mr. John Barron Williams, of Yorkville. The happy event will come off at the home of the bride-elect's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. R. Thompson, at Riverside, at 1.30 p. m., Thursday, October 16th, instant. Rev. W. C. Ewart will officiate. After the ceremony they will take the afternoon train for the groom's at Yorkville Mr. W. Marion Neal, of the Jacksonham section, died at his home at 8 o'clock yesterday morning after an illness of about eight months of dropsy. Mr. Neal was about 57 years of age and leaves, besides a brother and two sisters, his wife and seven children surviving him. The children are: George C., Wm.

Gastonla Gazette, October 7: Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, a shifting engine on the C. & N.-W. struck a wagon belonging to Mr. John Craig, who lives south of town, and demolished the hind wheels. The accident happened at the crossing in front of the freight depot and came near being serious. The four mules attached to the wagon were being driven by a Negro boy, wno was riding one of them, and had barely gotten across the track when the engine struck. Had they become frightened the accident would doubtless have been worse Sixteen dogs, supposed to have been mad, were reported to have been killed-in the South Point section last week, creating something of a sensation, but doing no damage. Some Negroes, who were picking cotton for Mr. W. O. Glover, brought a dog to the field with them, which showed symptoms of hydrophobia. It was disposed of at once, and the next day other dogs in the community acted strangely, and 16 suspicious dogs were killed. So far as could be learned no persons or cattle were attacked On Sunday, September the 28th, Mr. W. s L. Glover, of South Point, had the misfortune to lose his barn and contents by fire, the amount of the damage be- t ing about $150. The fire was probably ' accidentally started by Mr. Glover's c children, who were playing around the c barn.

( Mairlmu nf Slmllr Alwlnllnli n nil " OtlierN About Choowlng a Wife. ^ In choosing a wife, let her be a wo- t man whose lips do not droop at the j. corners. This is the advice of Sheik ( Abdallah, the Persian sage. If a woman's lips droop, her hus- g band's life will be a perpetual mourning g time. Nor yet should they curve too j much upward, for that denotes friv- j olity. c Beware of the under lip that rolls out- j. ward, for that woman has no great g conscience. Select for a wife one whose t lips are straight, not thfn, for then she r is a shrew, but with just the fulness a necessary to perfect symmetry. r The mouth has more to do with mak- t ing or marring the beauty of the face t than any other feature. t Pew things indeed are so charming t as a lovely mouth and few so rarely j seen. There will be fine eyes and beau- ^ tiful hair in profusion, but a perfect mouth is hard to find. y. It is not a feature that engages the attention of unrefined or uncultivated t people, who are attracted by bright g eyes and a brilliant complexion, but to the reader of human nature the mouth s is an interesting study. j. The cupld's bow is the traditional v mouth of beauty, because, for one rea- q son, it gives an arch expression to the \ face. To cultivate a cupid's bow, be ^ careful in closing: tne mourn noi iu iei a the upper lip protrude; that it should $ obviously extend beyond the lower lip c is excessively ugly, but, on the other j hand, it should not recede. It should j a trifle more than touch the upperlips. r A mouth with the upper lip curved, j lower lip straight, full and well defined, r and a depression beneath, shows a high r artistic sense, a love of ease and beau- t ty, a fine moral nature and a certain j coldness of temperament. If the chin is firm and rounded, that bespeaks de- c termination and physical strength. i The mouth of sagacity is large and t always well closed. The line of the lip a is firmly defined and a certain tight- t ness about the jaws, when in repose, t is noticeable. S That woman will be keen, clever in I conversation and analytical. She will u not be easily deceived, and while a good a conversationalist, knows well how to e act upon Talleyrand's maxim that v "Language is given to conceal thought." h If the mouth is long and thin, with } the lines between the lips clear cut li ind firm, the woman is selfish, morbid md dominating. It is the mouth that leslres to rule everything, and its own;r will ride to an end no matter over low many bodies. But where the line is flexible, the chin veak and the corners inclined to droop, :here is selfishness without decision, jgotism without character, melancholy vithout cause. The short upper lip, with a depression inder the nose and the inclination upward at the corners, is the merry nouth. Here are fun and laughter, md the man who marries the owner ivill find a wife with happy traits. She will be appreciative of everything Jone for her; quick to smile, and sympathetic to pain, but never tragic. She ivill have an artistic bent, and if the ine of her lower lip is graceful, her :astes are daintily refined. She may be i trifle hoydenish, but never coarse. If the corners dimple deeply, as they turn upward, the lips are quick In repartee. Love of ridicule will be strong, iut not in a malicious vein. Unusually red lips denote cruelty and apacity. Cleopatra had such lips. A small mouth with lips slightly compressed give an expression of shrewdless and worldly wisdom. They say luite plainly: "You may be able to take me in, but vant to be very careful that you don't yet taken in yourself." Lips that are firm and a trifle grim ire never afraid of the truth. Lips that ire straight and finely cut, and when in epose not unlike the lips of a statue, 50 perfect in their outline, belong to a :old nature. As to a man's mouth?if a man has i runid's bow. have no speaking ac luaintance with him. Did you ever see a man with a small nouth amount to anything? No. Did vou ever see a woman with a broad nouth who was not a genius? No. Did vou ever see a man with arched lips irawn down at the corners who was not dther a cry baby or a flend? No. Did vou ever see a man with a straight . nouth and thin lips who did not cling :o a purpose until it was accomplished? tfo. Did you ever see a man with Hps ;urned inside out who was not an enhusiast? No. Thick-lipped men are generally immlsive; thin-lipped ones, secretive. A ong upper lips means "get there." A ihort upper lip means "let things take heir course."?Exchange. ? HIS MOTHER SAID CHALLENGE. ionic Fact* About a Famon* and Rntlier Recent Virginia Duel. Perhaps few living men, in this sec:Ion at least, are so thoroughly conversant with the now obsolete, but >nce favorite method of settling the lifferences of gentlemen, the duel, in ill its many nice points, especially as t obtained before and after the civil var in the Old Dominion, as is ex- ' fudge W. G. Riley, of Virginia. The udge has himself appeared on the 'field or honor" on more than one oc- ' asion, both as principal and second or some friend, and he is therefore auhorlty in all matters pertaining to the 'duello" as a medium ff>r wiping out ! in insult to one s personal uunui. "The death a few years ago of Capain Page McCarthy in Richmond," , laid he, "forcibly recalls to memory the iigh standard of honor possessed by , he women of the south, and the eager less with which they sought to avenge i personal insult. The McCarthy- . dordicai duel, in which the latter was ( tilled and the former wounded on the ield of honor, is more or less familiar o all Virginians. But the part in the J lad affair which was played by the ( nother of young McCarthy has never >een so generally known to the public. , The affair occurred over a then celeirated Richmond beauty, a Miss Trip- , ett, a leader in the aristocrat circles ( if Richmond, at White Sulphur , Springs, and wherever else the beauty j ind wealth of Virginia happened to as- , lemble. Nearly all the participants in | he affair have now passed away. McCarthy was an exceedingly brilliant mung man of literary attainments. ( 3oth were lawyers, but McCarthy nevr practised, preferring journalism to 1 he profession of law. Mordicai was a ( lighly talented, and moreover, an ex eedingly handsome man. "Both moved in the highest society, md were social leaders. It was gener- ' illy known by their friends that young McCarthy and the beautiful Miss Trlpett were betrothed before the advent if the handsome Hebrew. As soon, J lowever, as Mordicai appeared on the cene it was remarked that the lady 1 reated McCarthy coolly, and it was ' lot long before it was whispered about 1 imong their friends that the engagerient between Page McCarthy and the idle of Virginia's capital had been ] J ?? 41? 1 >roKen on, anu uy me muy. mtv^ai mj ook it greatly to heart, and before long here appeared in a publication in Richmond a couplet in which Miss [Yiplett was alluded to as a coquette nd flirt, though, of course, not giving ler name. Every one at once knew rho was meant, as well as knew who he writer was. McCarthy, needless to ay, was the author. "Mordicai and McCarthy meeting oon after this event, the former rather laughtily inquired of his rival if he ras not the author of the couplet in luestion, and upon McCarthy's refusng to answer, on the ground that Morlicai had no authority to demand an .nswer, the latter knocked McCarthy lown, but before any further damages ould be done, friends of both parties nterposed and restrained the two men. McCarthy was physically his antagolist's inferior, but was full of grit. Both were in the full vigor of young nanhood. Friends of both men aranged that this matter was to be setled by both parties not again speakng to each other. "Needless to say that McCarthy hafed under the insult terribly, and n a short time such was the social osracism visited upon him by the ladies ?5 41r\P klo onrnio infnnnp II1U gentlemen ui uio uv\|uui..?M..?v hat he was sorely humiliated and mor- 1 ifled at the open snubbing he received. Some weeks later McCarthy entered a f tichmond cafe and there, in unmeas- i ired terms he denounced Mordlcai as ? . poltroon and a coward. The latter, i ntering the place, while McCarthy 1 ras still speaking, asked the latter If i ie was not speaking harshly of him, ilordical. Upon McCarthy repeating < lis insulting language, Mordlcai again 1 knocked him down his. eyes being blackened and other injuries being inflicted. Friends again separated them, but the affair had now gone too far to be settled in anyway except on the field of honor. "Upon his arrival at home young McCarthy was questioned as to the cause of his injuries by his mother, a very brave woman, and upon his relating the story of his second encounter with Mordicai, Mrs. McCarthy said to her son: " 'Page, this will never do for the McCarthys. You must fight this man.' "Said he, 'Motj^r, I have retreated in this affair so long that I am afraid no one will carry my challenge to my opponent?no one will act as my second.' " 'If no one else will,' said the mother, 'I will carry it myself. I will be your second." "She sent for two friends of the family, and the challenge to mortal combat was delivered to Mordicai that very nigjit. The old fair ground in the westerifftutskirts of Richmond was selected as the place of meeting, and the time ( was set for daybreak the next morning. "Promptly at the appointed time both parties, with their seconds and the doctors arrived on the field. A quarter of a mile back from the scene of action, behind a chump of trees, in her coach and unattended except by her two Negro servants, sat the intrepid mother of McCarthy. She had come to see her son's honor vindicated, to see the stain upon the McCarthy name wiped out. Her son was apt to fall, to be killed, even. To her an unavenged insult to the family name was worse than death itself. Being away some distance she could not see well, and she had instructed her servants to go forward and hasten to her with the news of the result as soon as shots had been exchanged. "Mordicai, being the challenged party, had selected pistols. As the word to fire was given both men discharged their weapons, but without result. At the second fire, however, Mordicai fell to the ground mortally wounded. McCarthy was also slightly wounded in the hip at the second shot. As soon as the men had fired the colored servant hastened to the side of his mistress, exclaiming: 'Mister Mordicai am dead and Marse Page is shot in de leg.' Hurying home the fearless mother has- * tily summoned two surgeons, and when her wounded son arrived she had every- . thing prepared for his safety and comfort. McCarthy was guarded at his < home by the authorities until he was ' well enough to appear in court. He ( was fined $500, with the alternative of ] six months imprisonment. The fine ? was paid, of course, and Page McCarthy was once again a free man, and j the McCarthy name and honor were avenged. It is true, however, that Mc- ? Carthy ever after seemed weighted c down by a melancholy that was as pronounced as it was immovable, and I people said that he was never again a happy man."?Washington Post. WASHINGTON TO FRENCH EYES. ? Secret Sketch Sent by the Chevalier " de In Lazerne to the French King. j A paper by Edmund Lovell Dana on the Chevalier de la Luzerne, for whom Luzerne county, Pa., was named, was published recently by the Wyoming Historical society. It contains an estimate of the character of Washington which Luzerne intended as a confidential communication to his king. Mr. Dana's son, while in Paris some years ago, ran across the document in the state archives and by the courtesy of the French government copied It, and sent it to his father, who made it public for the first time. Luzerne was the second French minister sent to this country and was much esteemed by Washington. The following letter gave presumably the Chevalier's real impressions of Washington based on a short-ranged study of the subject. "Philadelphia, 25 August, 1783. "This is perhaps, Sire, the proper occasion to give you a sketch of the character of General Washington, such as the frequent occasions that I have had to treat with him permit me to understand it. "This man, whom his country and perhaps posterity, will elevate to the rank of the greatest of heroes, does not appear to me to merit neither so much glory nor so little praise. He rereived from nature a bodily vigor which temperance and exercise have augmented, and the fatigues of war and jffice work have not been able to di- 3 mlnish. jj "He was from birth impetuous and C violent, and the murder of M. de Ju- 5 monville, committed by his orders near- 3 y thirty years ago, proves how little ^ command he had over himself at that 0 time. Reflection and age have moder- 1 ited his passions, and if his primitive 2 character still gets the better of him 2 jometimes, the public is ignorant of C lis storms, and only those who live 5 near him witness them. 2 "Seven years of command have not 3 confirmed the belief that he possesses a 2 jreat genius for war; but he is a good jj ludge of talents, and he willingly lis- 0 :ens to the counsels of men whose ex- 3 lerience is known to him. He is, nev- 2 crtheless, jealous of the glory of execu- jj don, and his most intimate confidants fi lave ceased to be such as soon as he 3 vas led to believe that the public at- J cributed to them whatever was goojl in jj lis own conduct. 6 "He is naturally undecided, and he 3 las been known in critical moments 2 jnable to take a resolution and to have 5 illowed himself to be agitated by the e contradictory advice of those surround- 3 ne him. He loves glory, and, still 2| nore, transient applause and popular 5 .'avor. 3 "Sometimes to secure the latter he jj las sacrificed truth, and it was thus k :hat he endeavored to throw back upon 3 :he French army the blame of the de- ?j ay in the operations which were to jj jring succor to Virginia. e "But these spots were effaced by jf jreat qualities. If he has not rapid in- J fight and promptitude, he has at least 3 l healthy judgment, and he foresees g ,vith sufficient sagacity, and when he | las time for reflection and examination t is rare that he is mistaken. | "His bravery is worthy of remark, be- ? :ause it is calm and such as should beong to a general, although at the be- <fi tinning of the war it exceeded the lir ts of prudence.
