Nov 12, 18S5 IS 6ni Duration of Love in Men and Women. Somebody who didn't spend all bis time sitting around the bouse growling at flies and raising blue chaos whenever dinner wasn't ready to the minute, has placed the opinion on record that with a woman love is an abso'ute reality, while with a mm it is little more than the commonest kind of side show. When you behold a damsel with eyes like those of a damaged mackerel, whose nose is blue at the tip and sharp-pointed from much weeping, shuffling around the house in an old dress that makes a man feel like fleeing to the mountains, you can salt it down for a certainty that she wants to marry a man too worthless to make good fish bait. Some night when least expected she will skip out by the light of the moon to escape with the scalawag, leaving more love in the home from which she steals away than she will ever find in his bosom, and from that time on she is his to command under all circumstances, no matter whether he steals a horse or goes to Congress, and so long as he treats her half white, noth? ing but the discovery that he has got mashed on some other woman can ever change her feelings towards him. A man falls in love the same as a mule goes down with a sinking bridge. Simply because he can't help it, but it seldom does him any permanent injury. The shape of a nose, the sweep of arj eye or the wave of a curl trip3 him up and settles his hash without an instant of warning, and there be is, the bluest kind of captive, until marriage" or some new fascination breaks the charm that binds him. He is pretty sure to love like a burning brush heap while he is about it, but the trouble is, his flame is too aident to be durable. He will swear to a blue-eyed sprite that he loves her for all eternity, and within three months after marriage will go to howling about the cooking, and make her life a purga? tory without a streak of light. If she breaks down and dies of discouragement, as not infrequently happens, he will slide up to some other houri before the daises bloom again, in total forgetfulness that he ever lost a wink of sleep by being in love before.? Chicago Ledger. From the-Mines to the Sea. An agreement has been made between the Louisville and Nashville and the Eichmond and Danville Railway com? panies by which a line will be built from London, Kentucky, to Toccoa, Georgia, through Cumberland Gap, Knoxville, Maryville and Rabun Gap. This is our information, and we have every reason to believe it. The agrecemeut was made nearly two mouths ago, and surveyors are now at work between London and Cumberland Gap, and are pushing this way as rapidly as possible. Londou is a small town on the Knox? ville branch of the Louisville and Nash? ville, and about 40 miles beyond Jellico. It ia about forty-five miles from London to Cumberland Gap, sixty-five miles from there to Knoxville, and about 250 miles to Toccoa. The Louisville and Nashville company will build as far as Knoxville, and the Richmond and Danville people will build to Toccoa. The road from here to Toccoa will penetrate a comparatively unknown sectiou, no less valuable for its agricultural, mineral and timber wealth than that portion of country lying be? tween here and London. The 16 miles in operation between here and Maryville will be utilized as a part of the great trunk line. After leaving Maryville a few miles, it follows the level and fertile valley of the Little Tennessee River almost to the source of that stream, crossing the Ducktown branch of the Western North Carolina road at the mouth of Nantabala River. It will of course pass through the far-famed Ra bun-Gap, and down the great eastern water shed to the valley of the Savannah at Toccoa, there connecting with the Air Line already in operation to Augus? ta. We believe that the dreams of the past half century are about to be re? alized. The proposed lino will be the shortest route from the northwest to the sea coast. Penetrating, as it will, in connection with the iincs already in operation, the exhanslless grain fields of the northwest, and passing through the immense coal fields and timber resources of the Cum? berland ranges, through the iron, cop? per, mica, granite, marble and timber resources of Western North Carolina, to the splendid harbors at Charleston and Tort Royal, it can be nothing less than a paying investment from the start.? Knoxville, Ihm., Chronicle. Children's Teeth. No child should be allowed to have a tooth sufficiently decayed to ache, and no mother should be allowed to remain in ignorance of the means by which this can generally be prevented. Naturally anxious for the best welfare of her child, physicially as well as mentally and morally, well-meant advice, kindly proffered, couched in proper terms,'coming from a competent source, will never be rejected by any sensible mother. If proper advice were given every prospecting mother respecting the care of iierself?especially iu regard to furnish ing abundance of proper nutrient elements, "bone and tooth food," from the very hour of conception?children would be born with the tooth-germs so well nourished during foetal life that they would erupt at the proper time with little disturbance, and be of such fiue structure that-care beyond strich cleanliness and proper diet would be required to keep them perfect. To this end, mothers must be taught how much depends on their own efforts, guided by the instructions of those made competent by a life of research and study. Teach mothers that the teeth are not formed, as so many evidently suppose, during ti c few weeks or months preceding eruption, when the gums are swollen, and the child is cross and peevish but that they dale their existence almost from the very begin ing of foetal life ;'that as early as the sixih or seventh week after conception, the germ-; of the teeth are forming in the dental grove?soft and pulpy, it, is true, till ab'.iut the fourth month, when calficalion begins; the whole tenth (with I lie exception of the root) being thoroughly foliJified and the enamel formed befure it makes its ap? pearance in the ba:>y'.s mouth; though the root continues t'i elongate after the Crown has emerged from ihc gum. As the teeth can only be formed from ! tooth material, and ::s this h required j from the very inception of the germ | formation, li>v.c\\ the mother that she j alone can supply I Iii.- r-s-ential. If she J dors niit tin m>!i ii (designedly or other? wise) in sufficient quantity, in addition to the amount requisite for her own use, it will he abstracted from her own OBseous tissues, and she will suffer correspondingly, not only in hr-r teeth and boue-j, but, uudtr very insufficient regime; even "the brain will become enfeebled from lack of phosphoric acid, and the muscles pale and flabby," and the mother thus famish for lack of the necessary elements of nutrition, even while apparently enjoying the must lux? urious diet. Tea.-h the mother what this tooth making material is, aud where she is to find the necessary elements. Teach her that she must not only have proper food, and sufficient food, but that her system must be kept in proper condition to digest and assimilate this food. Teach her the importance of physical exercise, of fresh air and sunlight and of cleanliness, as indispensable adjuncts to diet. Teach her that these principles must be applied, and these precepts acted on, not only through the nine months of gestation, while she supplies all the elements of nutrition through her blood but also during the whole period of lactation, when her milk is not only the sole magazine of lime-salts for the further development of the teeth and bones, but the only source of nutriment for tho whole body of the rapidly growing child. If, after weaning, she will habituate her child to plain, wholesome food, with scrupulous cleanliness of the teeth, and abuudant exercise for them ; provide it with comfortable, easy dress, and enforce strict obedience to the laws of health, what a splendid race of men und women would' we have iu the next generation! In the words of Dr. Welchens: "Good, substantial food, containing all the elemeuts necessary to build and nourish the various tissues of the body, clean, warm clothing to protect the surface, and regular out door exercise all with temperance aud moderation, will not only raise the child well, but will, in a large majority of cases, raise adenture well calculated to withstand the the changes of life and endure the wear and tear of mastication." Mothers and children would thus attain a higher standard of physical development, for these benefits could not accrue solely to the teeth. "A knosyledge and observance of nature's laws must result in an improvement of the whole being?body, miud and heart." Southern Generals. Most of the visitors to tho House of Representatives notice on the Democratic side of the chamber a little in the rear of the ceuter, a small mau with a very full beard that shows a decided tendency to become white, and when they ask who he is are told that it is General Wheeler, of Alabama. The gentleman attained the highest rank ever conferred upon oue of his age upon this himisphere, for he was com? missioned a Lieutenant General in the Confederate army when he was but twen? ty-eight years of age, and by far the youngest officer of his rauk ever known to either army or navy on the North American continent, and younger than any general officer who has held an equivalent commaud on the continent of Europe in one tine except in the case of one royal prince in the bouse of Haps burg. There were twenty-two Lieutenant Generals in the Confederate army from beginning to end. General Longstreet was the senior wheu the war closed, and General Ewell was next. Of the twenty two there are still living Longstreet, Hamilton, E. Kirby Smith, Wheeler, A. P. Steward, D. H.Hill, and Buckner. Of the five full Generals made late in 1861 none remain but Generals Johnson (J. E.), and Beauregard. The latter was tho first geaeral officer ever nominated and commissioned under the Confederate government, and should have been its Senior General Officer under the ordinary military usages, but the act creating the military establishment of the Confederate States provided that officers from the United States army who might accept Confederate commissions should take rank according to the grade they held in the United States army when their resignations were accepted. This made General Cooper, who was Adjutant Gen? eral of the United States army wheu he resigned, the Senior General Officer of the Confederacy, and placed General Lee (who only became a full colonel about three mouths before his resigna? tion) and General Beauregard (who was a Major of Engineers when be went South) at the bottom of the list. General Beauregard took the ground that he was the first Brigadier General the Confeder? ate Slates ever commissioned, and was holding-that position when at last one of the officers promoted over his head was yet in the United States army, and he should have been the Senior General. And the persistence with which he uua vailingly insisted upon what he believed was his by right induced the first differ? ence of opinion, which soon grew into a breach that was irreconcilable, between him and Mr. Davis. When General Wheeler attained the rank of Lieutenant General he was just the same age as Napoleon Bonaparte was when he took command of the array of Italy and commenced a career that in brilliancy is unequaled in the world's history. " Wheeler, too, is about the height of Napoleon, who was five feet three inches, in stature, and in quickness of movement and the facility with which he chauged his plans in ah emer? gency he is not unlike the great Corsican in mental characteristics. The officers of the United States army will have no more devoted and intelligent friend in the Congressional ranks than the old time comrade in the 1st dragoons, "Point" Wheeler.? Washington Herald. Consolidation of Depots. Greenville, January 26.?The sen? sation of the day in Greenville is the de? cision of the Richmond and Danville Railroad- authorities to consolidate the depots of the Greenville and the Air Line Railroads in this city. The consoli? dation was ordered some time ago by ? General Manager E. B. Thomas, of the Richmoud and Danville System, but it was not made known to the public until to-day, wheu Superintendent Talcot and General Freight Agent Cardwell, of the Columbia and Greenville Road, complet? ed the arraugemeutH for tbe consolida? tion. The Columbia aud Greenville is to be abandoned and the entire business of the two roads will be carried on at the Air Line depot under one freight and ticket agent. The old Columbia and Greenville depot, the first ever built in Greenville, will be merely a flag station, where passengers will be allowed to get on and off, while freight, telegraph and ticket offices will all be at the Air Line depot. The change will naturally force more cotton and other business of the city to to be done on the East side of the river, it is thought, and is, of course, greatly regretted by the people of West Green? ville. The distance from the Columbia and Greenville depot to the Air Line depot is about oue and three-quarter miles, hence West Gieenvillc will suiter great inconvenience. The distance from the Court House, which is the ccilre of the city, to the Air Line depot is a mile and a quarter. The bulk of the freights hauled to Greenville, except fertilizers, come by the Air Line, and hence the increase of distance will not he so gener? ally felt by the city at large as it would be were the freights im-re evenly divided by the two roads. There is fierce opposition to the change I by the West Greenville people and t!.e J talk of petitions and a public mcuiug, | &C, but nothing formal has yet been 1 done. The junction track now connect- j ing the Air Lino and Columbia and i Greenville depots will he used for the ; extension of the Columbia and Green- { ville Road and the trains lor Columbia j and Charleston will start from and arrive j at tho Air Line depot. The consolida? tion will be completed and tho change ? will git info operation in about four werk". The object of the general man? agement is economy. The services "i agent, clerks, a telegraph operator and laborers will be dispensed with, ami tho j saving lo the Richmond and Danville Company will be about $5,000 a year j A like consolidation ui the Air Line and i Spartanburg, Union aud Columbia depots j has been ordered at spartanburg. ! Lincoln's First Dollar. One evening when a few gentlemen, among whom was Mr. Seward, had met in the executive chamber without official business, and were telling of the pas', the President said: "Seward, you never heard, did you, how I earned my first dollar V "No," said Seward. "Well," replied he. "I was about IS years of age, and belonged, as you kuow, to what they call down South the scrubs. But we had succeeded in raising, chiefly by my labor, sufficient product, as 1 thought, to justify mein taking ic down the river to sell. After much persuasiou I had got the consent of my mother to go, and had constructed a flatboat large enough to take the few barrels of things we had gathered down to New Orleans. A steamer was going down the river. We have, as you know, no wharves ou the western streams, and the custom was, if passengers were at any of the landings they were to go out in a boat, the steamer stopping and taking them on board. I was contemplating my new boat and wondering whether 1 could make it stronger or improve it in any part, when two men came down to the shore in car? riages, with trunks, and, looking at the .different boats', singled out mine and asked: 'Who owns this?" I answered modestly : 'I do.' -Will you,' said one of them, 'take us and our trunks out to the steamer ?' 'Certainly,' said I. "I was very glad to have the chance of earning something, and supposed that each of them would give give me a cou? ple of bits. The trunks were put on my boat, the passengers seated themselves on them, and I sculled them out to the steamer. They got on board, and 1 lifted their trunks and put thorn on the deck. The steamer was about to put on steam agaiu when I called out: 'You have forgotten to pay me.' Each of them took from his pocket a silver half dollar and threw it on the bottom of my boat. I could scarcely believe my eyes as I picked up the money. You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important-incident in my life. I could scarcely credit that I, the poor boy, had earned !?1 in less than a day, that by honest work I had earned gl the world seemed wider and fairer before me. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time."?IF. I). Kelly, in New Yor/: Star. A Spnrtanburg Romance, SrARTANBURG, February2.?A strange circumstance was revealed here last week. A Dr. Mitchell, from Washington, about 70 years old, came to our town inquiring the way to the Gowensville neighborhood in the northwestern corner of our county. Ho secured a con? veyance and went", the object of his search being a Mrs. Cook, the wife of a poor man who had a hard and unsuccess? ful struggle in the battle of life. She was the daughter of Dr. mitchell, although he had never seen her, nor even heard of her birth until recently, and she was over forty years of age. His story is this. Out in Tennessee, about the time the Mexican war was breaking out, he mairied a beautiful young lady of good family. For some re.ison or other her parents opposed the match, and they made it so unpleasant for him that he concluded to join a regiment for Mexico, and see if he could not find peace in the army of invision. Before the troops were disbanded he heard of the death of his wife, but he did not hear that an infant was born in her last illness which survived. Knowing nothing of this even he did not return to Tennessee, but all these years have been spent in other places. Some time ago he saw a notice in some paper coming from one who claimed to be his daughter. At first he dismissed the subject as a singular coin? cidence and nothing more. After a time the matter working on his mind, he began a correspondence which led to the discovery of his daughter. He came on here and finding her lot a hard one relieved her wants, and has made ar? rangements to buy her a home, so as to make her comfortable and independent. He has returned to Washington, but said he would come back in a few weeks to look after his daughter's home. After his first marriage he never 'narried again, but has been wandering alone all these years. Truly, this prosaic business age of ours has its romantic episodes.?Uh j)aich to The News and Courier. Value of SpWls of Turpentine. This is one of\e most enviable articles in a family, and when it has onco obtained a foothold in a house, it is really a necessary, and could ill be dispensed with. Its medicinal qualities are very numerous; for burns it is a quick application and gives immediate relief; for blisters on the baud it is of priceless value, searing down the skin and prevent? ing soreness ; for'corns on the toes it is useful, and good for rheumatism and sore throats, and it is the quickest remedy for convulsions or fits. Then it is a sure preventive against moth ; by just dropping a trifle in the bottom of drawers, chests and cupboards, it will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. It will keep ants and bugs from closets and store? rooms by putting a few drops in the corners, and upon the shelves ; it is sure destruction to bed bugs, and will effectually drive them away Irom their hauuts, if thoroughly applied to the joints of the bedstead in the spriug cleaning time, and injures neither furniture nor clothing ; its pungent odor is retained for a long time, and no family ought to be entirely out of a supply at any time of the year.?Cor.

Do Fish Ever Die of Old Age 1 "How does it happen that we never find floating in the water the bodies of fish that died natural deaths?" was asked of a Statcn Island fiskermau and fish student, "All dead fish float, do they not ?" "All dead fish float if the bodies are not interfered with," was the reply. "But fish, so far as I know, never die natural deaths. How long would they live if they were unmolested ? Well, if they had sufficient food, which would be an impossibility if they no longer preyed noon each other, I honestly believe they would live forever, and it was just to prevent this that they were made so rc morselessly cannibalistic. A fish's life i3 a hard and a selfish one. He lives only to eat and to avoid being eaten."?Neto York- Sun. ? In May, 18S-1, Edward M.

THE Ladies of Anderson and surround? ing Counties are respectfully invi? ted to call at my newly arranged Sewing Machine Parlor, and examine the merits of the various leading Machines for which I am sole Agent in this and several other Counties in Upper Carolina. I guarantee one and all polito and careful attention. The justly celebrated New Home is still our favorite. It is simple, strong, swift and sure, doing the widest range of work, and equipped with all the latest im? proved Attachments. The Domestic is certainly a Star of no small magnitude, and is celebrated for its light and noiseless running, and its handsome appearance. The peerless White is KING, and is highly appreciated by all who use them, for lightness, simplicity and handsome finish. The Royal St. John ie certainly the ACCOMMODATING Machine of the day, as you can do beautiful and substan? tial work, by running either way, without getting out of adjustment or breaking stitches. . . These are the LEADERS, but I also sell several other makes of Machines, and all at low figures and on reasonable terms. The Latest Novelty in way of a Sewing Machine Attachment is the P. Byrne Spring Motor. The complete operation of a Sewing Machine with this Motor is so simple and easy that a child, or the most delicate lady can use it. Can be applied to any Sewing Machine, and is loudly prais? ed by all who see its operation, will run fiom 10 to 1,000 stitches per minute, at the will of the operator. I have exclusive sale of ibis Motor for the upper portion of South Carolina. Can be seen in operation at any time at cither of my Sewing Ma? chine Parlors. Needles, Oil and Attachments a specialty.
