PRINCE, Trustee. Nov. 13, 1000, 19 3 , THURSDAY MORIS JUVENILE ATTENDANT' CAVALIER?. A Mighty Useful Being for tbo Fashiona? ble Harried Woman. Among the products of modern so? ciety there is none more remarkable than the juvenile attendant cavalier. A dozen rich, and highly respectable New York matrons, now provide them? selves eaoh with, what she is pleased to call "a useful boy," and, to do her justice, it must be acknowledge that she compels the young man to earn his qualifications. Mrs. Grundy has accepted him, and the husband needs him noi Indeed, he is rather regard? ed by that Individual in the light of an understudy^ as he relieyes jnon sieur 01 many of the social uiities which would otherwise interfere with his own engagements, whether 01 business or of pleasure, There was a time when a married lady of personal attractions would scarcely have ven? tured to. go about anywnere with a good looking young man who was noi er husband. Nowadays we look for the harmless, necessary "tame cat." The fashiona? ble matron takes much pride in the appearance of her cavalier, and to qualify for the position he must in a measure be ornamental as well as use? ful Furthermore, he must In no wise be awkward. He must he able to put a cloak around madam's shoulders as well as her maid, and to adjust her Opera hood without ruffling her hair. It being part of his duties, too, to at? tend to ner fans, bouquets, opera glasses, programmes, dogs and all such impedimenta, it is necessary that he should not indulge in the old fash? ioned occupation of wool gathering, while on no account must ne permit himself to cherish the usual mascu? line aversion to "shopping," for when he is not dispatched alone to execute my lady's orders, which may range, from a box at the opera to a box 01 pearl powder, he is required to be in at tendance when she makes the round of dry goods emporiums. To the onlooker the value of his resence on these occasions appears raited, for it seems that he does noth? ing but balance himself on the edge of chairs, adjust his tie in every avail? able mirror, and occasionally make mildly facetious and frequently im? pertinent comments on the goods. At the restaurants he secures luncheon, and being well drilled in madam's likes and dislikes he thus saves her the trouble of choosing her own fare, and the infliction of getting what she de? tests. He is useful, too, in finding the car? riage after the theatre or afternoon partyt and added to all these service? able if not exactly intellectual quali? ties are the advantages that he can be snubbed at will; that he never dare grumble like husbands; and that he never bores with the wearisome atten? tion of older men. To what end do these perfumed dandyettes run errands and act as footmen if not to play at being gay Lotharios? Their reward is that they get taken everywhere, and everybody has to treat them with some degree of civility. Then there are in the train of a pretty, or at least, of a popular woman, a distinction which all youths envy. They live on the metaphorical milk and honey of the land, they bask in luxury, and revel in all the best entertainments, pick up "good tips," and eventually, if they are smart, secure a rich bride. ?New York Letter. Recreation on the Deep. A large brick was heated to a red heat in the galley fire and a piece of asbes? tos packing was wrapped around it as quickly as possible. The brick with fts covering was incased in a piece of pork that was tossed overboard, along with several other morsels which the sharks were made ready to devour, and it had no sooner touched the water than it was swallowed. It took a few minutes for the heat to come through its covering of asbestos and pork, and during those few minutes the shark swam among his compan? ions and attracted no special atten? tion. But very soon his movements showed the pain he was feeling; he darted violently about, sprang out of the water, dived, rose again and was evidently suffering intensely. This continued for nerhaps half an hour, and ended with the creature turning on his back and dying in the most hor? rible .contortions. The other sharks showed their tender feelings by at? tacking him before he was fairly dead; they had no compunctions about eat? ing him, or at any rate displayed none, for he was devoured before our eyes, to the great delight of the sail? ors.?Thomas W. Knox. A Flacky Little FeUow. A little boy, only 8 years old, the son of a laborer named Malbarxy, liv? ing at Francesdnest, was sent by his mother to fetch a loaf from the baker's on the opposite side of the railway. On his return, when passing a level crossing near the Farretlmes station, he saw a train approaching, and in his hurry stumbled and fell. He never? theless had the presence of mind to fall into the space between the rails and the sleepers. Unhappily, the clearing iron caught his blouse and dragged him along till the train stop? ped at the station; the wheels had meanwhile passed over one of his arms and cut it nearly off. When he wa3 set free, looking at his mangled arm, he said: "Pray do not tell moth? er." and he asked the bystanders to fetch his loaf. It was found necessary to cut off the arm, and though the chloroform did not make him insensi? ble, he bore the operation with the ut? most courage, and only asked once or twice if the surgeons would soon have done. His arm soon healed, and the little fellow returned to school as gay and as cheerful aa his companions.? Montreal Star. Cinnamon is the bark of a tree, and is grown most largely in Java and Ceylon.

New York Herald. That the Herald always keeps in touch with the people is shown by the loads of letters?from all parts of the country aod on every conceivable subject?vybich dai? ly come to this office. One of these ietters, just received, runs in the following strain? I am a country boy. I came from a farm in New Hampshire to New York with the hopes of making a name aud a fortune. Either the fame or the fortune would satisfy me, but I prefer both if they are within reach. Will you kindly tell me how I can carve out for myself a successful career? The result of our experience and obser? vation are entirely at your service, young man. Suppose we begin our conversation by denning terms. What do you mean by "a successful career?" If, as you say, you are ambitious to be? come a millionaire two or three times over your chance is one in a thousand. Possibly you may be that one. It de? pends on your natural gifts and your op? portunities. But how about the other nine hundred and ninety nine? Are their lives to be a failure because they can't acquire an immense bulk of capi? tal? In other words is a surplus of cash tbe prime factor in the problem of happi? ness, and is a citizen's usefulness to be measured by bis bank account solely ? You may also get the fame you wish. It depends on your education, on the quantity and quality of your brains, and on your native genius. With these, everything is possible; without them, you will everlastingly hunger for the un? attainable, and in tbe end draw the cov? erlid of a wasted life over your head and die a disappointed man. The number of those who achieve such greatness that the public build monu? ments to their memory is very few, but if your name happens to be in that list, tbe Herald will gladly subscribe for the purpose. Don't make any mistakes in this mat? ter. If yon want to get out of life all there is in it?for you?there is a way to do it. Real happiness consists of health, self respect, the good will of the community ' and a sufficient income to gratify your reasonable wants. Everything else is trivial and not worth bothering about, The man Who has steady work, fair wages, a cosy home, enough to eat, a thick overcoat, and the consciousness of | personal integrity, is a mightily favored fellow, in possession of more than three quarters of the best things which this world affords. Now, you can have all this if you make certain rules the basis of your con duct. 1. Don't aim too high, but aim straight. Emerson's advice to "hitch your wagon to a star" is tbe merest buncombe of rhetoric. You will produce larger prac? tical results if you hitch your wagon to a well fed mule. Longfellow's poem, "Excelsior," is another bit of exquisite trash. Of course, it ia beautiful, "and all like that, you know," hut it is not adapted to a rough and tumble fight with circumstances. The young man in that poem shoulders a flag and startB for?well, for nowhere, so far as we can discover. He ia one of | tbe climbers?an explorer of the celestial Alps. When he gets to the top of a hill he turns back and screams out "Excel? sior." What for can't say. This is a free country, however, and be can do as he pleases. Up he trudges until be gets to the snow capped summit of the ascent. Unreasonable boy ! he seems to be just as dissatisfied as ever. Evidently he wants tbe earth. In spite of a chronic bronchitis and in constant danger of J pneumonia, he waves bis bunting, yells "Excelsior!" once more and strikes out for an attitude where the mercury freezes in (he bulb. He may be going yet, for augbt we know. He has undertaken a tough job. though, and his flag by (his time must be in tatters. You want to get rid of a good deal of this "excelsior" folderol. It is a mighty poor investment of talent. Stay down below, and let the glaciers and mountain peaks take care of themselves. Second?Ho your work well, no matter what it is. Study your business. Make yourself master of it by putting your bead and heart into it. If it is bookkeeping, then keeps books in such a fashion that the Angel Gabriel will want to lend you his crown as a token of approval. If you are a mechanic, or artisan, or farmer, be proud of yourself, and the rest of the world will soon come to be proud of you. Nothing is needed bo much in this gene? ration as a man with skilled fingers. You may bave a long pull, but the clock will strike an unexpected hour, and the op? portunity, which comes to everybody in turn, but which most people miss, will present itself. Study the bulldog, and when you get your teeth into a big thing, let them Btay there. Third?Save money. The coward runs in debt, the brave man has a $5 surplus in his pocket. The world may laugh at you because you can't have a four-in hand necktie. All light, let it laugh, you are your own world, and the people who sneer are simply outside barbarians. I When they see that $f bill growing big? ger they will all want to shake hands with you and ?end you to Congress. Keep well within your income and you will save yourself from skulking round the corner like a licked dog when the dun is on your trace. The handiest thing on tbe planet is the penny laid up for a rainy day. Now, young, sir, get rid of the nonsense ' that you area genius, settle down to tbe conclusion that you are just an average [ North American boy, and then start in. Keep yourself alert, look after your di? gestive apparatus, dont smoke cigarettes, i get to bed early, be square toed ia all your dealings, and we will wager a cook? ie that at 60 you will have to look back i ward for those who began the race when you did. Are you ready? Then go? Home Without a Mother. The room's in disorder, The cat's on the table, The flower stand upset and the mischief to pay, And Johnny is screaming, As loud as he's able, For nothing goes right when mamma's away. What a scene of discomfort and confu? sion home would be if mamma did not return. If your wife is slowly breaking down, from a combination of domestic cares and female disorders, make it your first business to restore her to health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is without a peer as a remedy for feeble and debili? tated women, aod is the only medicine for the class of maladies known as female diseases which is sold under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers that it will give satisfaction, or the money will be refunded. It is a positive cure for the most corapdeated cases of womb trou? bles. ? The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Hoffman and his brother, the Rev. Dr. E. A.

A Report that Interested Democrats and Farmers' Alliance Men, Hon. E. B. Wade, Secretary of the Tennessee State Democratic Executive Committee, and holding a similar posi? tion in the Farmers' Alliance of that, State, who was a delegate to the Ocala Florida, convention of the Farmers' Al? liance, in an interview yesterday at Nashville, Tenn., said that he has been grossly and unjustly misrepresented in the dispatches from California in regard to an alleged resolution binding every member of the Alliance to subscribe to the platform of the order and support no man for office who does not subscribe to these principles. He says no such reso? lution was offered by himself or any other delegate to the conventiou. The report has created great iuterest among, the Democrats and Alliance men of this and adjoining States. Mr. Wade said: "So far as ray indi? vidual views are concerned they amount to little, but I have been placed before the country in a false attitude, and the press generally have selected me as a target. I deemed it due myeelf to say that my views have undergone no change relative to the demands of the Alliance. I am not in favor of the sub-treasury bill or the government ownership of railroad and telegraph lines, nor any other de? mand that places the organization in the attitude of subscribing to a policy of centralization and government paternal? ism. "Speaking for the order, I want to say that it is non-partisan. Our first declar? ation is to labor for the education of the agricultural classes in the science of eco? nomical government in a strictly non partisan spirit, and to bring about a more perfect union of said classes We bind no member to vote for men or measures, but leave each individual to act as his conscience dictates on all political ques? tions and politics. "The Tennessee delegation at the Oca la meeting, which was composed of Gov? ernor-elect Buchanan, J. H. McDowell, W. C. Lightfoot and myself, endeavored by all honorable means to have the na? tional organization adopt a broad, liberal, conservative policy, so that we could go before the country with the motto in? scribed on our banner, 'Equal Rights to All and Special Favors to None.' We were all unalterably opposed to any third party movement, and agreed among our? selves that if this issue was forced we would retire from the body. However, no attempt was made looking to this end. Whatever action was taken by thesocall ed reform press after the adjournment of the National Alliance cute no figure as far as the great mass of the order is concern? ed, and I apprehend that no member will consider for a moment that the action in the members of the press will be binding in the remotest degree on other individ? ual actions on public questions. "While the language attributed to Governor-elect Buchanan in denouncing as liars, poltroons, etc., certain persons for giving out news of the convention's pro? ceedings does not affect me, I desire to say that he used no such language and that the report of his speech is about as far from what occurred as anything could be."?Baltimore Sun. Kaolin Better than Gold. Columbia, December 14.?A gentle? man who registered at the Grand Central Hotel to-night has knowledge of a dis? covery whichwhen fully developed will make the kaolin beds of this State infin? itely more valuable than the phosphate deposits. He asked the representative of the News and Courier if be knew Mr. P. A. Emanuel of the Aiken Bar, which being answered, be went on to relate the following facts: It is known that a fortune not to be reckoned by millions awaits the discover? er of a cheap process for the manufacture of aluminum. About a year ago Mr. Emanuel applied himself to this prob lern, and it is believed that he has arriv? ed at its correct solution. The material which be used is the kaolin of Aiken County, the basis with which he worked sulphuric acid. On making the discove? ry Mr. Emanuel went to Washington and submitted his process i to the scientists there, and now has his diecovery secure from attack by the proper letters patent and caveats. Not very long ago aluminum, was sold at about ?26,000 a ton, but by a procees which was considered final the price was reduced at Pittsburg to two dollars and a half a pound or about $5,000 a ton. The startling announcement is made now that by the ingenuity of Mr. A man? ne! aluminum can be freed from kaolin at a cost of about two dollars and a half a ton, being a price two thousand limes less than by the Pittsburg process As there is now more demand in the world ; for aluminum for mechanical purposes than there is for gold, the . immensity of the field and fortune for the discoverer j will be apparent. It is said that half a million dollars has already been offered for a location near Aiken for a plant to develop the alumi? num industry. The narrator of these facts said that he had seen a lot of the clay after one of the preliminary processes in which the metal had already materialized. He also said that Mr. Emanuel bad discovered a ma? terial which will greatly decrease the cost of manufacturing phosphate fertili? zers. A caveat has been filed for this discovery, but the scheme i3 retained for the present, as the publication of it might embarrass the discoverer. It is understood that the facts herein have been given to a Georgia industrial paper. If the facts be as stated, and there is no reason to doubt them, as the gentleman who stated them is a man of education and responsibility, there are more millions at less cost under ground in Aiken County than there were on the Island of Monte Christo.?Special to Ike News and Courier.

Sketch of a Successful Colored Man of Newberry County, Nothing gives us more pleasure thau to present to the readers of the Herald an electro of Deacon Lewis Ducket, of the Flint Hill Baptist-Church, of New-1, berry Couuty, also to give a sketch of the life of one of tbe most successful colored men in South Carolina, ud of whom every colored Baptist in the State can bo justly proud. He was boru on the banks of Reedy River, in Laurens County, during the year 1824. His parents were Jerry and Harriet Fuller, both of whom died when he was quite young, hence hv remembers but little of them. Shortly after their death he was sold to a planter by the name of Ducket, in Newberry County, with whom he remained until freedom. From him he took the name of Ducket. When the war closed it found him with an invalid wife whom he was com? pelled to lift about as a child, for she had lost the use of her limbs several years before, seveo children and a five dollar gold piece. With this amount, undaunt? ed by the difficulties that stared him in the lace, he began life. Refusing to enter politics, he chose farmiDg as most congenial to him. He rented the place formerly owned by his master, giving one- third of the crop for rent four yeare. He saved the first year $400, second year $500, and the third and fourth yearR ?600 each. With the money saved he purchased several head of stock and rented the whole place, paying for the same $2,000 in cash each year op to 1878. From the profits of his farming he has purchased three places, paying for the first $8,500, for the second $2,500 and for the third $1,200 cash. On saleday in last July tbo place on which he now lives was offered for sale. His bid was $21,444. An examination of the title revealed that the place could not be sold because all tbe heirs were not of age, so he is still forced to rent. At present be runs twenty-four plows, cultivating nine hundred acres. His average crop for each year is 200 bales of cotton and about 2,000 bushels of corn. He hsB not purchased a peck of corn or a pound of meat for his own use since the war. His wife died during the year 1877. He then married Miss Nancy Hill, of Laurens County. By her he has had four children. Brother Ducket joined the church dur? ing tbe war, and was baptized by Rev. William Mayfield When freedom came he assisted in organizing the Flint Hill Baptist Church." Rev. W. Boyd was chosen as the first pastor. Under the pastorate of Rev. Alfred Reeder, Benjamin Byrd and himself were chosen and ordained deacons. This position he has filled acceptably to the church for more than 21 years He is a member of the Board of Managers of the State Con? vention, having filled this position ever since its organization. What man has done, mau can do. To our young men beginning life we commend tbe life of Deacon Ducket as worthy of imitation.?Baptist Herald. Weighs Nearly Half a Ton, Indiana now lays claim to the heaviest man in the world in the person of John Hanson Craig, 6f Danville, Hendricks County. Mr. Craig was born in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1855. While quite small his parents moved to Kentucky, where they lived until John was about 13 years old. At birth he weighed eleven pounds. When 11 months old his weight was seventy-seven pounds. From this time on bis gain in flesh was phenomenal. I At the age of 2 years his weight was 206 pounds. During 1858 his parents took him to New York city and entered him as a contestant in tbe baby show inaugurated by P. T. Barn urn, and he was awarded a cash prize of $1,000 as .tbe largest and heaviest child on exhibition. At the age of 5 years his weight had in? creased to 302 pounds. During tbe next six years his weight increased to 405 pounds. The following eight years his weight increased 196 pounds, causing him to tip the beam at 601 pounds. At tbe age of 25 his weight was 725; at 27 it had increased to 758 pounds. During the next year he gained thirty-four pounds, making bis weight at 28 792. From that lime on his weight has been gradually increasing until he now tips the scales at 907 pounds. Mr. Craig has never been ill a day in his life, is a very delicate eater, is not addicted to the use of intoxicants and does not use tobacco in any form. He stands six feet five inches in his stocking feet and measures eight feet four inches at the hips. It requires forty one yards of cloth to make him a full suit?coat, vest and pantaloons?and it takes three pounds of yarn to make him a pair ot stockings. He laughingly says the cows\ always smile when they see him going to ] a shoo shop* to leave his measure for a pair of boots', as it will take a whole side to make him a pair. He wears No. 12 boots. The father of Mr. Craig was a very small man, weighing from 115 to 120 pounds; his mother was a small woman, not weighing over 110 or 115 pounds.

"Talking of hazing," said- a univer? sity club man the other evening, "I'm here with some emphasis and accent to say it is not always a success. I was with a t arty of students once who, having sei'.their academic hearts on hazing a rough and uncouth specimen from Vermont, repaired to his room about 11 o'clock one night to "perform these rites. There were seven of the invaders, including myself, and we si? lently collected in the corridor outside the freshman's door. In order to he impressive in our entrance at a given signal we hurled ourselves against the portal and burst it in. "I recall a feeling of pride as the door went in at the success of this first step, but nothing distinctly afterward. In the dim, religious light which sifted through the curtains* from the swinging moon we beheld a long, sparse and meager being who flew out of bed and fell upon us. He was silent as a bulldog, but quick and ferocious as a cat. I never saw such a creature. I got a blow which I vividly remember comparing on the spot to a flail, a comparison, by the way^which I do not now alter or regret. The whole affair did not last ten minutes, and its close found myself and the other hazers battered and bruised and out in the hall. RAISING THE HORSE. "The Vermonter did not even at* I tempt to close the door after us, such was his contempt for our prowess. He went over to a washstand while wo consulted in the hall. "We did not go back in his room. We could, of course, but we saw it would consume a great deal of time and the hour was i late. So we gave it up. "'Say, you Vermont raanP Isaidas we were about to leave, 'I trust you are not mean enough to report this to the faculty?' " 'Hot at all,' he said with a-cheery Iaugh. 'I like it.. Come again any time you please. Your attentions are very gratifying to my pride.'" "Where I was," said the listener, "we had a little fun one night?per? fectly bloodless, however?which in its results always rose an insolvable. mystery to the profound head of the. institution. The professor had an old,' fat, sluggish horse, which abode in a small pasture or paddock close to the ; college. One night a party of us re? paired thither and proceeded by meaDs of rails laid square, just as children build cob houses, all decked over or floored with some two inch planks ' which lay convenient, to build a plat? form. We raised it at first perhaps eighteen inches from the ground. Then we built a second close beside j the first and made it three feet high. "The horse was led up on the first and from there to the second. Then, taking off the plank floor, we added about four .rails to each ot the four sides and carried the first platform to about eighteen inches higher than the one on which the horse stood. This was planked over and the old horse invited to climb ou it, 'which he did in a docile, oppositionless way very win-" ning to our youDg hearts. Well, we continued this alteration business, leading the old war horse from one pedestal to the other until he was twelve feet iu the air, perched on an eminence of rails and planks. "This suited the most fastidious of the party, and we tore away the rail f, and plank construction the horse had no further use for and piled it care? fully back in its several parts just where we got it. The old horse, who i seemed to realize his position stroll about any, but made the it, lying down and going to The professors were much astoun in the morning and never were able to 'figure it out.
