Our local last week about a big Bonanza in ther court houae square created n considerable flutter in Court circles. There is no telling now how we may have to abdicate.

The Anderson Journal is a spright ly, ?well filled newspaper, published by Messrs. Belcher & Earlc, at An derson C. H., for $1.50 a year.

Some smart chap down there kept calling upon the *troup,e to bring out "de lioss." The stump orator of the company got tired of this annoyance and put n quietus on its author by saying, "We have no horse here, but can get along with a jackass. Won't you step upon the ptngc? --<t ? -6- . Or CHEEK? For a man lo say "I can't take that, paper because of its politics,' when his course nil through life shows him to be one of those who ha? fre quently embraced the bugbear of the Fourteenth Amendment. We do not object to men having their opinions, but always thought that the wiser couise is for one to say nothing in I consistent with his own mode of liv ! ing. The opinion has always Obtained in the minds of those famiMur with the Bible (.hat it was a man named Jonah the whale swallowed, but one of the Mack minstrels contradicted that belief on Tuesday night last, who boldly asserted that it was our popu lar and efficient Clerk of the Com t that, tho big fish gulped down, and not Jonah. Upon reflection wo might have thoughi as much, for it is eon cecded on nil sides that George is a deep worker. Troubles never comes singly ; first, imported "silken tresses" arc discov ered to be filled with bugs and things, and now we have this: A three, year old Chicago girl was dangerously?it was lit first feared fatally?poisoned by wearing striped stockings, the col oring matter of the seal-brown stripes being found to contain considerable picric arid (u compound of carbolic and nitric acid), which is soluble in water or perspiration, ami an active poiroti. We have repeatedly served warning through these columns against the use of stripid stockings, and yd the merchants find sale for tlicm.

This is the year for unmarried wo men to propose to gentlemen. They can put n-ide all conventionalities, and bristle right up In the side of a man and say "I love you; will you hayo me?" without violating any special rule of ctiquctt or custom. The year is one which enlarges tho sphere of women ts such an unlimited extent that they nifty safely regard tloin&clves as misters Of the situation. '1 here is no use lor any billing and cooing eitl er on their part to make their wishes known. They can come square out and say whom they want with perfect propriety. Indeed, that is what Leap Year means. Young ladies should not waste their time now in sighs and hints. If they crave husbands, the)- must, be up and doing. Those who allow timidity to master them at ?sueh a frightfully appcrtuuc time as this is to pair themselves off, will find, at the end of the year, that they stood in their own sunshine, and that when they could have done some thing towards u promise of nn in crease in the census of the land, by cultivating their opportunities, like sluggards the.y let them pass by un improved. Let such as these take care that they do not end like 'Tale promises, That die unmarried, ere they can behold bright Plnebtis in his strength, a malady Most incident to maids!" Judge Bond has decided that a man must be married before he can claim the benefits of the homestead exemp tion law. Now you see this ail plays into the hands of single ladies. Any man will marry before he will give up his homestead, and we suggest lo thoso who cannot write love letters, the advisability of procuring u copy of Judge Bond's deeisi n in the mutter, That will be hint enough to the man you want for a husband. And if it turns out to he insuflicio it to move his flinty heart, it will result from the fact that he has no homestead and ncvor ex peels to have one. Let the ladies make good use of our advice. Ivcmcmbcr that all is to be feared where all is lo be lost. From this iimo hence wc will publish marriage notices free of charge.

During his absence clothing valued at $35 was stolen from his room, nnd up on ascertaining ibis fact he demanded reimbursement from tho proprietor' His demand wns refused, and he brought suit to recover, but lost the case. He then appealed to the city court, and on Saturday Judge Brown revoked the former decision, and gave a judgment for S.'5"> and costs in favor of tho p'entiff, holding that the pro prietor was guilty of negligence in having a number of keys fitting the locks on the doors of the same rooms, and thus had not furnished sufficient protection to the effects of his board ers or trucsts.
