Chronic Borrowers, If you are buying a house iu a neigh? borhood unknown to you, you will natur i ally ask all kinds of questions. Yon will want to know if the drainage is good, if the air is pure, if there has ever been any malaria, how far it is to the depot and postolB.ee, but ten to one you don't inquire if there are any borrowers in the neighborhood. Now-a chronic borrower is a deadly nuisance in a community. A woman who is always "just out" of saleratus will stir up more trouble in a neighbor? hood than a mad dog and a flock of fif? teen bens and a rooster. She will run in on you at any and all hours, and want to borrow just a little sugar, or spice, till she can send to the grocer's. She really did not know she was anywhere near out till she went about her cooking, and then she found she hadn't a dust of ougar in the house and not a soul around anywhere that she could send out after any. And she will tell you that she does so bate to trouble you; for if there is anything on eartb ebe dislikes to do it is to borrow?and she never does it when she can help it; but now her pie crust is all on the plates, and she was obliged to, because she could not spare the time to run to the grocer's. And she will sit down in your kitchen and stop half an hour, and talk about everybody in town ; and, meanwhile, she will take an account of everything her eyes fall on, and Bbe will see behind your stove the cobwebs that yon forgot to brush down this morning ; and she will notice the old boots that your husband left on the woodbox to dry, and she will see that your lamp chimneys have not been washed, and that your dishes are in tbe sink, and that you had ham for breakfast by the Bpatter of grease on the stove ; and when she goes into some other neighbor's house on a borrowing expedition she will give a report of what she saw in your kitchen, and swear the neighbor over to eternal secrecy regarding it; and the consequence will be that in a week it will be all over town that your folks live on ham and that you are the most untidy housekeeper on the footstool. When tbe borrower returns what she borrows, it is always in a little smaller measure, if indeed, she returns it all. And you may congratulate yourself if you get half what belongs to you. A regular borrower wiH borrow every? thing, from a piece of salt fish lor break? fast, down to your boy, if you have one. The book borrower is even a greater nuisance than the woman who borrows household supplies. She never hesitates to ask for tbe choicest or costliest books in your house. And she seems to think that she confers a favor on yon by so asking. And if you are fool enough to lend, - the possibility is that yon will have to go after the books in question, and will find on doing so that she has lent them to a friend of hers, who wanted to read them, and she will tell you that she knew you would be willing?you are so good natured. In tbe coarse of our life we have been aBked to lend everything in the book line that ever-we owned, except our Bible, and somehow nobody ever seemed to care abont borrowing that, and in nine cases out of ten, when we have complied our literature has come back to us in a shape that fitted it only for kindling?if, indeed, we were lucky enough to ever set eyes on it. So we say to all our friends, if it be possible to avoid it, never have a bor? rower for a neighbor.r-iVino YorJt'Weifc ly._' Provided Well for Her Pets. Nashville, Tenn., July 21.?The moat extraordinary will ever made was probated here yesterday. Mrs. Mary Ann Sonaub, an aged German lady who lived in Nashville for sixty years, died at her home in the northern suburbs of the city, where she had lived for nearly half a .century. She bad no kin in the world of whom any one knows, and had sur? rounded herself by a number of dogs and cats. She had accumulated a handsome property valued at $6,000, and this she leaves.in trust for two of her favorite dogs, The animals are of the commonest breed. She provides that a sufficient sum shall be reserved from her personalty to maintain these dogs in comfort as long as they live, and especially orders one bed and clothing for their? occupacy. A young lady who she adopted some years ago is made secondary beneficiary upon the condition that she will live in tbe house and care for these dogs for a peri? od of eight years. If at the end of this term her task has been dutifully perform? ed she shall come into possession of the entire property. ? One of the sad things connected with the hard times in Persia is the fact that many men with from fifteen to twen? ty wives have had to reduce tbe number to three or four. ? Mr. ThoB, C. Lee, proprietor of the Lee Hotel, Arkadelphia, Ark., Bays that Swift's Specific has so strengthened his wife for her labors as hostess that he can recommend and emphasize tbe assertion that as a tonic for ladies and children S. S. S. has no equal. ? A milk white horse that was ridden by Gen. Grant during the war is now owned by D. B. Flint, of Boston, tfhe animal is twenty nine years old and is frequently used by Mr. Flint. ? Mr. B. F. Whatley is a prominent merchant of Ruston, La. He says that he has sold Swift's Specific to many persons, and knows of some wonderful cases of blood diseases, and has never' heard of a failure to cure. Several cases of contagious blood poison were cured after all tbe doctors and all other reme? dies had failed. ? California Bent 3,500,000 pounds of honey to Europe last year. ? I am of the opinion S. S. S. should stand at the head of the list of blood I remedies. I arrived at the conclusion from the testimony of scores of persons who have told me of tbe good results from its use. I have been selling S. S. S. for years, and it has won a large sale. C. A. Griffith, Mayflower, Ark. ? Secrets are like the measles?they take easy aud spread easy. ? Mercury and Potash mixtures dry up ths> secretions of tbe body, cause mer? curial rheumatism and dyspepsia, and finally run the Bystem down to such a condition that other diseases are induced. Swift's Specific builds up the patient from tho first dose, and gives life and vigor to the whole butnau frame. Key, James Boyce, D. D. Rev. James Boyce, D. D., of Due West, died at the home of Dr. Lester Hunter, his son-in-law, hear Charlotte, ft. C, Tuesday morning at the venerable age of about eighty-two years. He had been in failing health for some months but his last illness was brief. Dr. Boyce was a great man. For nearly sixty years he had been a min? ister of the A. R. Presbyterian Church and ranked among the best. He was a man of profound learning, but his ser? mons Were always plain, impressive and practical. He always stood by the doc? trines of his church and defended them with power aod effect. He was not a man of compromises but bis position on all questions of faith pnd practice was always known. He was an able and elegant writer and did as much service with his pen as in the pulpit. He was a "tower of strength" and a leader among men. Competition Races. According to their spokesman at Chickering Hall, the colored people are suffering practically from the discrimi? nation in New York. He-says that, under all circumstances, they do their best to put on the appear? ance of prosperity, but that, In fact, they are steadily falling behind in the compe? tition with the white race. "Fashion is doing away with the colored coachman, the colored barber has disappeared from New York, the Englishman wears the waiter's apron in the hotel dining rooms, the Irishman has seized the whitewash brush, and the almond-eyed Mongolian peeps over the washtub where once the darky's face was seen." This is undoubtedly true. In the days when Dickens and Thackeray visited the United States they were Btruck by the novelty of encountering everywhere negro servants. In all hotels and res? taurants the waiters were colored men, and the few coachmen employed by pri? vate families were of that race. Now the negro waiter is the exception, and negro coachmen are no longer com mon. The colored whitewasher survives almost wholly in the imagination of negro minstrelsy, and the colored barber is becoming rapidly an historic function? ary ia New York. Their places have been taken by Irishmen, Englishmen, Swiss, Qermans, and Italians, while the Chinamen have secured what is a sub? stantial monopoly of the laundry busi? ness, few as they are in numbers actually and comparatively to the negroes. But the change cannot have been brought about by capricious fashion, as the colored preacher at Chickering Hall supposes. It must mean that the negro has been beaten in the competition with the white man ; that he does not do so good work. Under slavery he was pro? tected from competition with others not his re.ee, but ander freedom he must take his chances with the rest; and the rest have become very many in this coun? try since the days when he held a substantial monopoly of the employment spoken of. The colored people must devote themselves with redoubled efforts to their own improvement if tbev wonld keep up in the contest. In the old slave days some of the moBt admirable servants possible were colored, and possibly, for a time, those who main? tained their prestige in the North were relics, direct of that bygone time. Now that those old traditions have worn out, the negro of to .day must start afresh and equip himself with the learning and qual? ities which are required of others if he wants to Bucceed. Skill and trustworthi? ness are the two indespensable qualifica? tions for occupation of all sorts, and those must be attained and cultivated in the first degree if he would stand the competition that is constantly being made keener and brought to a higher standard of required excellence.?New York Sun. ?'Negroes or Colored People." Somebody, presumably a negro, or colored person sends us an inquiry want? ing to know "which is our name?negroes or colored people ?" and hopes we will answer the question.' As the inquirer seems in earnest we will say that Web? st"* the recognized authority on deSni this part of the world, says that a negro is "a black man; one of the race of black or dark persons who inhabit the greater part of Africa," having "crisp or curly hair, flat noses, high cheek bones and thick, protruding lips." Does the inquirer recognize the picture? Webster also gives another definition, viz '.'"Nigger, a negro." By common consent, however, the latter term 'nigger' is usually applied to bad negroes?those who hanker about henroosts at uncertain hours of the night, and have great love for white folks' chicken. But railery aside, the colored people, or negroes, have no reason to be sensitive or feel indignant when they are called negroes. This is their proper designation. They belong to the negro race. The term negro is not disrespectful. A colored man may be a half breed?half negro and half Indian, or Spaniard or Mexcan.--Laurens ville Herald. Born that Way. Two or three days ago Station House Keeper John Joiner was Bitting out in front of the guard house when an old negro man and a little negro child came by. The child's thin black legs were bent after the fashion of pot hooks, and nine people out of ten that bsw the child would stop to stare at its bow legs. "That your child, uncle?" asked the station house keeper. "Yesser LeaB' hit oughter to be." '< ; "Mighty bow-legged." "Yesser," admitted the old man, "hit does look sorter dat way, boss." "Natural deformity ?" "No, sab," quickly, "he was jest born dat way ."?Atlanta Constitution. An Arkansas Shaker. "Wall, old feller, what's the matter ?" "Only a little augur, stranger, but I thought would shake myself out or my hide." "I've had 'em myself, friend; I tuk Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic and I never have a shake.;' Good advice to the friend who was shaking is implied in the friends' reply. No case of malaria has ever been found which baffled its curative powers, and one physician has used it successfully in the treatment of typhoid fever. Buy it of your druggist. ?

Washington, July 28.?Henry Ken? nedy, of Newberry, S. C, who wn^a delegate to the Chicogo Convention and a strong Harrison man, has been here for several weeks endeavoring to effect a settlement of the contest for the jSewber ry post office, where Charles Whitmire, colored, was appointed in May la?t. The white patrons of the office threatened to boycott Wanamaker's business house ! if a white man was not made postmaster, j Whitmire'u commission was thereupon I withheld. Kennedy says: "I am disgusted with the wny things are being managed, and so are tbe ma? jority of my people. I am going to speak my mind when I get home, and tell the colored folks that they need no longer look to the Republican party for their salvation. We are only to be given the crumbs, except in a few individual cases, and white Democrats who promise to become Republicans are to be given tbe fat places. There is absolutely no use in our fighting any longer to krep up a Republican organization. The colored people are already looking on the pro? posed national election law unfavorably. It will be a delusion and a snare for us. It simply means that we are to be aban? doned in our local struggles as we have ^?en since 1876. What we want is a recognition of our full political rights in State affairs as well as national. In fact, this is worth infinitely more to us. If the Republican party wants the colored voters to continue to give it their sup? port, it will have to be a great deal more liberal with us in its policy than it has been. The colored people are no longer frightened by tbe bugaboo of the re es? tablishment of the system of slavery, which kept them for a long a time scared out of their wits. They know full well, even the most ignorant of them, that their freedom is secured for all lime, and now their only political concern is for their rights of citizenship. If the Re? publican party only means to secure such legislation as will protect them in their support of its own domination, it will be better for them to be let alone. There can be nothing more foolish than the supposition that the colored people will vote for Congressmen and in other ways keep up the animosity existing between them and the Southern whites when they receive no encouragement in their efforts to elect State officers. I am in favor of my people making speedy terms with tbe white people of the South, for in such a course there lies the whole solution of the race problem." Blasphemy in Georgia. Savannah, July 24.?Tnis afternoon Sheriff Smith, of Liberty County, with a posse of fifteen well-armed and determin? ed men, began an effort to put a stop to tbe scandalous proceedings that have dis? graced that section for some time and relieve the peaceable citizens of the fear they now entertain of violent proceedings on the part of the followers of Edward James, tbe negro pseudo Christ. Yester? day a number of the leaders of the new sect were arrested, making fifteen in all that have been taken into custody. If to-day's movement does not succeed a vigilance committee will be organized at once and hemp brought into requisition to rid tbe county of the nuisance. The coroner's jury in the case of An? drew Roberts, the baby who was offered as a sacrifice yesterday, returned a verdict finding Laura Roberts, the child's aunt, guilty of murder. The woman was out of her mind at one time, but recovered and was apparently perfectly sound till James began his meeting. At tbe meeting on Sunday afternoon I the wife of Chas. Baker was badly injar I ed. She is a large woman and was in the crowd near James, who was preaching. Stopping suddenly he pointed to her and exclaimed: "She has devils in her, pound them out, pound them cut," A dozen men seized her, threw her on a rough table and began to beat her with clubs. Her jaw was broken and her body badly bruised before the evil demons were persuaded to leave her. On Monday James saw devils moving in Eugene Richards, a sober and indus? trious, colored man, who had gone to the meeting from curiosity. He resisted when the diBoiples ?et on him, and he was beaten almost into insensibility. He received Berious internal injuries and will probably die. The county is becoming more and more excited, and tbe whites are dreading that James will influence his followers to attack them. If the sheriff's force does not succeed in dispersing the mob, the consequences, it is feared, will be disas? trous. Driving ont the Mormons, Ch::cago, July 27.?A special dispatch from Nashville, Tenn, says: "Two hun? dred people in the 23d district of Wilson County have banded for tbe purpose of driving Mormon elders and converts from that county. This action has been taken on acconnt of the conduct of the Mor? mons on a recent occasion. While the Rev. John Barnett, a Baptist preacher, was holding services in Wetmore's school house he was interrupted by some of the Mormon converts present, who asked him several questions and then became in? sulting in their language. Members of the congregation made a move to resent this whereupon tbe Mormons jumped out of the window and dared them to come out and fight. Two justices of the peace subsequently prepared a big dinner, and invited the community at large to come and hear Barnett preach, and to give him protec? tion. Every one expected that a fight would take place, but the Mormons stayed away. The preacher called on the congregation to know how many would help to drive the Mormons out .of the county. In response to his invitation all the men in the congregation, about two hundred, gave him their handa prom? ising to drive the Mormons out by what? ever means that would be necessary. The mormons have been forbidden to travel on tbe roads, and notified to leave the county or stop holding meetings. Tries to Escape in a Barrel. Jackson, Mich, July 20?David W Palmer, Bent to prison for life for the murder of his wife, has been an exem? plary prisoner and was given more than usual liberties. This morning he was filling a largo cask with scraps when an idea struck him. He put a false head in tbe cask about midway of its length, and then placed citizens' clothes, a hammer and a chisel in tbe barrel and got in him? self. Another head was put to the cask by Palmer's fellow convict3 and the cask was taken to the freight office. As it was being loaded in a car the freight handlers heard a wild appeal for pity, which they could not at first understand. Finally one of tho men opened the cask and drew the prisoner out more dead than alivo. Palmer was turned over to the authorities. He declares he would rather stay in prison for life than under? go again such torture as he experienced during the three hours he epent in the cask. ? The hip knapsack, which transfers the soldier's burden from the shoulders to the hips, has so favorably impressed the authorities of the war department that they have ordered the manufacture of two thousand of them for use in the army. It is said that tbe invention was suggested by the bustle. If this be so, no one can say that the latter had -not a mission to perform. But it is to be observed by the war department that dress reformers insist on the transfer of weights from the hips to tho Bhoulders. ? The New York Journal has shown up tbe misery of a crowd of men and women in that city who make knee breeches at sixty cents a dozen,and work sixteen hours a day. It is not safe to force people to work for starvation wages. Sooner or later tho devil in turn will get on top, and they will give their employ? ers trouble. The oppression of the poor causes discontent, bad work,drunkennesp, desperation and bloodshed. ?

His iittle son was stand? ing near, and as his father took the pack? ages from the box he laid them upon the arm of the boy. A young friend and playmate of the merchaht's son was standing by look? ing on. As parcel after parcel was laid upon the arm of the boy, his friend began to fear his load was becoming too heavy, and said: "Johnny, don't you think you've got as much as you can bear ?" "Never mind," answered Johnny, in a happy tone; "father knows how much I can carry." Brave, trustful little fellow I He did not grow reelle? or impatient under the burden. There was no danger, he felt, his father would lay too heavy a load on him. His father knew his strength, or rather the weakness of that little arm, abd Would not overtask it.
