PRICE? A HARD MATTER TO EQUIVALENT FOR PLS Prom our Regular Lurrasponjlenl.. Washington, dM u e4,1880. Seldom have bride and groom spent their wedding day more quietly than Aid Mr. and’ Mvs. Cleveland. The marriage was the chief topic of cou- yersation throughout the city; the at tendants at tho White House were B usily completing the preparations; te Marine ‘baud was mheaTfeing, knots of people were clustering around the 1 Executive Mansion; and every one was pleasantly excited* Hut the contracting parties seemed less con cerned than jJhose about them. The President spent most of the day in his noonina his p>ail and attending to routine business, w iieinrv •renoo was made to the coaxing event by the few friends who were allowed to see him during the day, he would chuckle good naturedly, but there was nothiuglu his demeanor to indicate that he was the man whose approach ing marriage was interesting six mil- I ions of people. After inspecting the loml decorations, the bride pusseu the day in her room with her mother and the President’s sisters, and show ed no more nervousness than the oc casion would seem to justify, . The wedding was very quiet. A Crowd had collected in the White House grounds, but the people re spected the President’s wishes that tne marriage should be private, and tio noisy demonstrations were indulg ed in, and nothing but the merry chimes of bells and firing of cannon showed that the event was anything more thbn a mere private wedding. The President wore a smoothly fitting dress suit of black broad doth, with white lawn tie. The bride’s dress was of Ivory satin. During the ceremony Mr. Qlfivelfmd looked self-possessed <hd supremely contented. After tin- guests had ottered the gre bride ie greetings to the whe-WaS; unlike Niobe, all _ _ Tea. and congriltttlwted tiie Presi- ilcnt, they moved into tlibdining room where an elaborate co|ittU°n wa>- served. The President arid Mrs. Cleveland soon withdrew, hqwever, and reappeared in travelling costume. Amid a shower of rice and old slices ♦ hey drove away to take the train for Deer Park, a little summer resort in *Marylaiid, where they will spend about a week. *'During the day messages of cou- gratulation were received from Queen Victoria, President Grevy of France, Emperor William of Germany, King Leopold of Pelgium, President Diaz of Mexico, Emperor Dam Pedro of Brazil, and a number qf other crown ed heads of Europe and Presidents of Central and South American Re publics. P'Tlre -members of the Diplomatic Corps in this city, although they had received no formal notice of the wed ding, yet felt that from their official relations with the President they should take some notice of his mar- Vlagt*. Accordingly a meeting was held Wednesday in the house of Mr. Kogneiras,‘'the Portuguese" Minister, ana it was d^cidqd'that Mr. Preston, the Ministef-from Hayti, -should call upon'Secretary Bayard and through him pfe^ept to the President the con gratulations and good Wishes of the Whole body of diplomats. ‘ There was no feeling of surpt'iee manifested among the Diplomatic Corps at not -having received invitations to the ceremony because the recent deaths in ♦the -family of the bride was consid ered sufficient reason that the wed ding should be strictly private. Then tbe President'has no rigorously ex cluded from the preparations for the event any official act, that the foreign representatives tyefe not at all aston ished at the omission. The floral decorations in the parlors and dining room of the White House were very beautiful and artistic, and it was a graceful got of M r - Ulcvelaud to order that the Bowers used should be distributed ainoug the Uuspitals of tbe District. The bridal presents were many and rich, but they were not extravagaLt iu number or value. The gift of the ’“resident to the bride was a beautful # amond necklace, in which sheseem- vd to take much delight. The pres ents from the Cabinet officers and tefttc. r Wiv.S were mostly articles of •jewelry, though there were several handsome gifts of silverware.

No de ductions are mime for large shipments One thousand crates will cost #1,500. They will probably be 5,000 crates ship'ped from this place this year. This will pay the express company #7,500. Peaches pay well, however, at 60 cents per crate net, but the ex press companies ought to make thi ngs better for us. They pan afford to do it. We think it would pay them to encourage the planting by making rates lower* The stand of cotton is very good in this section and the crop is generally ingood oondition.

Tribble of our city, which settles the question of the probability of the presentation of bis name to tbe convention for nomi nation to congress from this district, and we have the liberty to use it, we give it below os information to our readers. Sumtek. C. H., S. C. May, 26, 1886. J. L. Tribble, Esq., Anderson, 8. C. —My Dear 8ir: I have your favor ol the 18th inst., addressed to me at Ab beville. In replying to sundry letters of like import received within the past two months, I have expressed myself as being content with tbe offi cial position which 1 now hold. These communications,however, have been addressed to individuals. I now feef called upon to define my position clearly to the public. ‘ It is well known to my friends that 1 have never sought or desired politi cal office of any kind. A Public office is a public trust, and one who holdf- such, to some extent at least, surren ders his right to choose. Regarding it, further, as a thing neither to bt sought nor declined. I have only to say if the people of this congressional district, after the retirement of my neighbor and friend, Colonel Aiken, demand my servic s as his sue cessor, I do not feel at liberty to decline to serve them, always heal ing in mind tbe distrust that I have of my own fitness for the position, contentment with my present office and knowledge of the fact that, there are others desiring the office In ques tion who are well qualified for all its requirements.

Bamberg, Juno 5.—Jfckmie excite-, ment prevailed iri tho neighborhood of Hunter’s Chapel over the cowhidint of Mr. John Stuuley by Messrs. W. T. Connelly and A, U-Ott. It seems that Studley had been circulating false and damaging reports coucerning Connel ly’s sister. In order to obtain full satis faction for the oflbuce Messrs.Counelly and Ott purchased a #2.50 whalebone whip, waited upon Mr- Studley and administered about thirty lashes, wearing the whip completely out. It is said that Studley has become recon ciled to his fate since calling upon a trial justice and being advised that In case a lawsuit was entered against Messrs. Connelly and Ott other pun ishment would probably be inflicted for circulating reports equally false and damaging concerning other per sons. • Death of a Usefal Citilzen. Bumter, June 5.—Mr. W. H. Cut- tlno, Clerk of the Court for J5mm**rt^ ,s P atc “ County, died after an illagsiT’of three weeks at his jresuieiiee in town, at 4 o’clock tlm morning. Mr. Cuttiim was one of our m°»t popular and in fluential citizens, and his death is deeply deplored by all classes ol citizens. Besides filling various other offices of trust, he was chair man of the Democracy in this county during the compaign of 1884. He was for many year a consistent and work ing member of the Baptist church, and was one of the pillars of that de- nonination in this section of the State. He was also a great temperance work er. having at one time held th<- office of Grand Worthy Chief Templer of the State. Eighteen Thousand Dollar* Price for Bfr». Morsaqla It low Va*e—-How the Cost 1 tilled—Profits of Dealers. The dispersal of the* great collections made by tbe late Mrs. Morgan, and com prising pictures, silverware, porcelain, bric-a-brac, etchings, books and Oriental oddities, is the talk of all the studios at at present, and exhibits the phases of a nine days wonder. People ask if Jules Breton’s “Communicants” was really worth over H4.000, and if the little peach- bw vase had an actual value of #18,000. fell, they must have possessed those Values to their buyers, I suppose, or they woitUl not have lje«n bought. ® , orty thou- saud dollars’ worth of enjoyment to a rich man is no more than worth to a poor man; indeed, ( 'question ft it be often os much, and it Is a hard fnatter.to fix a financial equivalent for pleasure—especi ally the higher pleasures that are con* |epped by poetry, music and art. \ SEEMS A RECKLESS USE OF CASfC Much has been said and some things have been written about the actual crimi nality of paying #18,000 for the little peach blow vase In Mrs. Morgan’s collec tion. It does seem a reckless use of cash to put in the valne of a first-class city house and lot into a little piece of Chinese pottery. People are prone to observe at such times, “What a shameful waste of money,' when so many people are in rags and suffering from hunger.” That is true, hut if the buyers of these high-priced dain ties forbore their purchase, do the philan thropists imagine for a moment that the money they did not spend in that way wonld be given to the ragged and the hungry» Not a bit of tt. The rich are usually stl*»gy and selfish. There are not ■'dozen rich men in this big city of Brook lyn who are otherwise. The more they get the more Lhey want. The more is con ceded to their tastee and appetites the more they demand. r Even if they did bestow their charities on the poor it would not- abolish poverty. The conditions that admit of excessive riches and excessive want are to blame, and not the facts of wealth and poverty. If you wish to know why #18,000 can be spent for a little bottle whose maker got about #5 for it and thought himself well paid, inquire of John Swinton and Henry George. If anything so precious is bought at such a price it would seem just to place it in a public museum where 1,800,000 peo ple could obtain from it a cent's worth of enjoyment each, and thereby Justify Its cost. To many people a painting is a thing of as definite a value as a ton of coal or a tub of butter. I confess that I never saw a picture that I thought was worth over #10,000. and, if the matter was thoroughly canvassed, I think it would appear that not half a dozen pictures were ever painted for more than that %um. Whatever they have brought more thau this has accrued to the benefit of speculators and dealer*. If I had #44,000 that I was willing to give for an example of Jules Breton I would spend less than #1,000 of that money in a trip to France, and, going to M. Breton, would hand him #20,000 and say, "Paint for me the master work of your life,” which I haven't a doubt M. Breton would try to do. Then I would put #23,000 in the bunk, or buy other pictures with it. PROFITS OF THE PICTURE DEALERS. A story was related the other evening by a gentleman who is iu a position to know whereof he speaks. He w as in Paris at the opening of the Salon, and in wander ing through the vast gallery he encoun tered Mr. S., a well-known New York dealer, looking critically at a picture called “The Helping Hand.” He said: “You ought to buy that, S." The dealer answered, “Perhaps I will." Before the exhibition closed Mr. S. did buy it, and paid #1,500 for it. He brought it to New York and, sold it immediately to Mr. George I. Seney for #18,000. When Mr. Seney heard what the picture had cost originally he waxed wroth and asked Mr. S.’s representative if that wasn’t a pretty stiff price he had paid for a #1,500 picture. The representative sent a message to Mr. S., and received this answer: “Give Mr. Seney our check for #13,000, and tell him that hereafter the price of the picture will be *25,000:” Mr. Seney kept the work, and it brought about #0,000 at the sale of his collection. A speculative American saw a picture in a shop in Paris that he liked pretty well and asked the price. It was #150. He went to his hotel to sleep on it, ami in the morning returned to the shop to see If be could beat the proprietor down to #100. A man never disputes a thurga uf 80 cents a pound for oleomargarine, but he seems to think it a dnty that he owes to society never to pay more than half price for a picture, if he can avoid it. To bis surprise and regret, somebody had liought the picture while he was thinking about IL On returning to New York he visited the well-known shop of Mr. A. and, behold! there was the picture. “What do you ask for that?" he inquired. The dealer said In a confidential tone: “We can afford to make that pretty low for you, Mr. B., and we’ll sell it to you for #1,500." And a profit of 900 per cent, is not deemed extravagant by many of the dealers.—“Ok M. S." In Brooklyn Eagle. An Elephant's Death by Oonsomptloa.

I never have more than one novel on baud at a time, though I may now and and then write a sketch of travels by way of a change. I have, of course, a general idea of what I am going to write before I begin a navel, but I do not analyze a plan and think it up In chapters before hand. AU I have at the beginning is the general idea. I invent chapters and incidents as I go along. Thus, each morning consists of new inventions, and the work is pleas ant and does not grow stale. When I first )>egan to write I had great trouble os to the plot, and I worried over my inoidento and conversations. I could not make the people talk. I afterwards found that the reason why I could not do this was be cause I had nothing to say myself. If a man has ideas and experiences he finds his conversations coming easUy, in the Ulustration of them. If he has noth ing to say he finds the talk as flat as that of two people who are thrown together with not an interest In common. I have little trouble with my conversations now, and the plot is a bugbear no longer. As to my incidents I feared for some time my fictitious ones wonld not be as natural as those which had actually existed. This fear was allayed by a friend of mine who took my “Wedding Journey” and marked with a pencil the incidents which he con sidered real and those h e thought I had invented. He mixed up truth and inven tion to a wonderful extent."—'“Carp’s In terview in Cleveland Leader. NO. 17, FREIGHT WITH COACH A* TACH ED— MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS. 1-cave Columbia 7 00 A. M.
