Bearing of the High English?Indifferent and Sometimes Insolent to Others. The high English almost always possess complete ease of manner, but almost never complete elegance, and both pecul iarities are attributable to their rank. As a rule, they are remarkable for repose or ? bearing. There is little pushing when the aristocrats are by themselves, though plenty of it among those who wish to associate with them. To the aristocrats their rights are conceded without a con test. This naturally makes them calm, assured, serene. But it also makes them indifferent, and sometimes insolent, toward the rest of the world. If they are well bred, so much the better; but if not, they stand quite as secure. The pedestal is just as high, no matter what figure is placed on it. A duke a be a boor or a clown, a duchess may be illiterate or drunken or immoral, and there have been instances of all this within the last twenty years, but thep are dukes and duchesses all the same. Their precedence is not disturbed, then* notice is still an honor, their society is courted, their alliance is sought, if not by all, yet by so many that they never discover the deficiency. I once heard a count ess account for the mannerof one of the court ladie?, which was indeed exceptionally soft and charm ing: "I suppose," She said, "it proceeds from her being always with a superior, always obliged to defer to another." This is the key to the feeling of the aristocracy. They have no need, they think, to defer, with equals or inferiors, They can gratify their moods or their whims, be amiable, or disagreeable, or indifferent, as they please. Toward those above them they are deferential in the extreme; servile it seems to an American, and certrinly obsequious. With those whom they like they can be affable as any people in the world, and their affability is the more agreeable because what is not common is always more highly prized. Like everybody else, they can be civil enough when it is their interest to be so. But when none of these reasons exists?interest, or preference, or necessity?they are often cold, super cilious and arrogant to a degree unknown in what is called good company else where.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Peculiaritlot of Japanese Art. In its integrity the art of Japan is hon est wholesome, characterized by a child like fondness for color and oddity of form, decorative in the highest degree, yet without strain or affectation. A Japanese artist knows little about per spective, but he knows foreground na ture so well that even his convention alized objects arc not too far removed from their model for recognition. His vines have spring and coil; his flowers have bloom and freshness; his fish and birds and quadrupeds have motion; his clouds fly and his rivers roll. Technical facility, together with power of adap tation, selection and conventionalization are possessed by him in a remarkable de gree; indeed, no European artist or dec orators have the readiness of invention and application that these Orientals have. The Japanese who paints for a few pence a day will dash upon a fan or umbrella a bit of color, a hint of land scape maybe, or a swinging bough of cherry blossoms, and the work will occupy him two minutes. When he has finished he has painted something that fits his object better than the minute and labored work of a Fronch idealis or English follower of patterns. This facility is in large measure hereditary; for tae half civilized people, as our school geographies used to call the.u, were civilized in the arts when Europeans north of the Alps had not got into the habit of wearing shirts.? Brooklyn Eagle. Deaths Among Kich and Poor. For twenty-three years I have been watching the peculiarities of my busi ness, and I can say this: The rich are more liable to die in winter, during some cold snaps, and the poor in summer, when the excessive heats are prevalent. I don't know how to account for it ex cept that, perhaps, the rich suffer most because of exposure to the cold after coining from their warm houses, and the poor lie in the very hot weather because of the exhaustion resulting from the necessity of following their arduous oc cupations when other people can rest in the shade.?J. Kelly, Undertaker. A Bastian Cure tor Catarrh. A writer in The Russkaia Meditz says that he has had great success in the cure of over 800 cases of acute and chronic catarrh, or cold in the head, by the use of iocold water. The legs from the knee downward are washed with it in the morning and at night and rubbed vigorously with a coarse towel. It is neceosaiy to do this for two days only, and many patients are said to have been cured in one day.?Chicago Tribune. Careless Mothers in London. In a recent inquest in London a physi cian testified that the practice to which young mothers are addicted of lying over their infante at night, caused the death of about 500 children a year in London alone.?Chicago Herald.

The Bad Plight of the Kailroads from Washouts and Lost Trestles. ?QTthe Colombia and Greenville Road the situation Is worse. The down tram yesterday ran to Dyson's, the usoal meeting place, and came back, while the up tram failed to reach Alston, a distance of about forty miles separating the two. The down train was stopped by the washing away of the Saluda River trestle and the rnoviug of the bridge between Dyson's and Chapel's. The up train was halted the other side of the Broad River because it was lound that the Thousand Foot trestle there had several of its benches washed away, and was therefore, unsafe. No transfer of passenger or mails could be made. The people who started to Columbia or other Doiuts below Dyson's had to come back or go around by the Greenwood and Augusta road if they could. Those who started up the road also had to go back where they came from. ?The Broadway trestle on the Blue Ridge branch, half way between Belton and Anderson, went down on Wednes day before the up passenger train got to it." Passengers had, therefore, to return to Belton and the only way to reach Walhalla or Anderson was to come here and take chances for catching a train to Seneca and there take the worse chance of catching a freight on the Blue Ridge road. No transfer arrangements could be made as boats are scarce on Broad way. About 100 feet of the trestle was down aud-six of its benches were washed out. Auderson is worse oil'than Green ville, for mails and passengers from Augusta can get here, while Anderson has" no connections anywhere. It is hoped that the Columbia and Greeu v?le and branches will be ruuning trains some way by Saturday, but it is said to be vain to expect mails from the low country before then. Spartanburg is cut oil* too, not only on the Air Line but on the Spartanburg, Union and Columbia, the trestle at Sheltou, between Spartanburg and Union, bein<r down. Where the trains on that road are cannot be learned. It is further reported that a trestle on the Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg road betweeu Spartanburg and Laurens is down. The long and short of it is that every railroad in upper Caroliua has a gap In it somewhere, and that we ueed not look for regular schedules or mails for a week at least. Nothing can be learned here of any damage in tins County, but very few or no people from the country were in j town on yesterday, and information [ could not be had from points out side of I the range of the telephone. It was cloudy and raining until after midnigt this morning, bnt the rainfall was not so violent as to cause fears of more damage.?Greenville News, May 21. JEWISH CHRISTIANS. The Israelites of the New Covenant who Confess that Jesus is the Messiah. Under the leadership of a preacher named Rabinowitz, a Jewish" Christian movement has been in progress for some time in Bessarabia, which is de veloping toward an organic form. These Christians have adopted a 1'Symbol ol the Congregation of the Isrealites of the New Covenant," from which, as printed in The Independent, we extract the following significant passages: "2. I believe with an unwavering faith that our Father in Heaven, in ac cordance with His promise given to our father, our prophets and our King David, the son of Jessie, has awakened tor Iereal a Redeemer?namely, Jesus, who was born of Mary the virgin, m the city of Bethlehem, of Judea, who su?ered, was crucified, died, and was buried for our salvation; who arose again from the dead and lives, and behold He is sitting at the right. hand of our Father in Heaven, and will come from there to. judge the circuit of the earth, the living and the dead, and He is king over the House of Jacob forever, and His king dom knows no end. "3. I believe with an unwavering faith that, according to the determina tion of God to pass judgement, and His foreknowledge, our fathers were strick en with hardness of heart, that they blasphemously resisted their Messiah, the Lord Jesus, in order to arouse the other nations of the earth to .all the greater zeal, and to reconcile them all through their faith in Christ, according to the words of Ills evangelist, in order that the earth should be full of the knowledge of the Lord, aud that the Lord should be king over the whole earth. ?v-l. I believe with an unwavering faith that only through faith in Jesus, the Messiah, any man can be justified, without the works of the law, and that there is one (Jod, who, through faith, justifies the circumcised Jew and the uncircumciscd Gentiles, and that there is no difference, between Jews aud Greeks, servants and freemen, men and women; they are all one in Christ." Arsenic Cookies for Her Husband. Neillsville, Wis., May 18.? Farmer Henry Wright died suddenly a few days ago. The symptoms were those of arsenical poisoning. Now his wife admits that she poisoned him. Daniel Allen, a wealthy farmer living j near the Wrights, whose wife is an inva lid, Mrs. Wright alleges, seduced her aud told her to poison her husband aud he would poison his wife, and aller a suitable time they would be married. Some time ago Allen went to Milwaukee, Mrs. Wright says, and procured the arsenic. About two weeks before the husband died she made some cookies, in two of which she put the arsenic, and her husband ate them. In five minutes he was taken very sick and vomited the cookies up. He asked his wife to make him a dose of peppermint to settle his stomach. Allen was present and told her she had given him too large a dose and she ought to put a little in the pep permint. She refused. She alleges that Allen then gave her husband little doses, which in time killed him. Allen was arrested. He denies the story. Don't fail to read our serial story. It is very interesting and will repay a perusal. MASQUERADE COSTUMES FOR HIRE. I As Uncanny Scene In a Loft?Habit* and MmHi?People Who Hire Costumes. It was a. strange sight which the re e>rter encountered the other day in a rge loft, up .three flights of stairs, in j one of our tall business structures. Be fore the eye became accustomed to the semi-darkness which prevailed in the wide space it looked as if hundreds of people had committed suicide by hang ing there. Long racks ran from one wall to the other, and suspended from ?tout pegs hung what appeared as limp human figures. The windows on both front and rear of the loft were open, and, as the chill air coursed through the large room, the limp figures swayed to and fro with a mysterious noise which sounded like j suppressed whispers from another world. The aged lady who had conducted the scribe up-stairs had left him alone mo mentarily to fetch a match for the pur pose of lighting the gas, and in the un certain light of the room the swaying shapes looked indeed like dangling corpses. ?Occasionally there would be a faint glitter among the silent crowd as^if some gold or silver ornament had been struck by a ray of light, and then all would be indistinct again. Or some ghastly face, with large, lifeless eyes would be turned to the light which came I sparsely through the small openings in [ the closed blinds, revealing the most hideous features imaginable. The old lady came slowly up-stairs, coughing fitfully as she ascended, and after she had lighted the gas jets the scene changed as if by magic. Then the limp figures were seen to be so many bright costumes of all ages and all im aginable styles. There was the bright armor of a knight of old hanging peace fully next to that of a Turk. Scores of habits of Italians and Spanish capitanos were mixed with the quaint costumes of Chinese and Japanese grandees, and in numerable habiliments of the historic Pulcinella, Scaramuccia, Arlechino, Brig hella, Tartaglia, Dr. Graziano and the Venetian merchant were seen suspended from the pegs. Below each costume were the boots, shoes, slippers, Bandals or j other "ohassure" pertaining to the char [ acter, and on top of the peg were the turbans, felt hats, helmets or other head gear appropriate to the outfit, while each costume had attached to it a mask. There were frightfully distorted features, bearded masks, idiotic faces, half-masks, masks of paper, wax tarlatan, silk and almost any conceivable texture. There were the costumes of clowns of all sizts in plain material, and the velvet and satin costumes of Spanish grandees, rich!/ ornamented with gold and silver passementerie?and there was a collec tion of all kinds of arms?the ancient halberd, the mediasval arquebuse and the elegant rapier of the renaissance. The great majority forming the middle and poorer classes makes up the best paying custom for the C03tumer, who has a sliding scale of prices for his "characters." A queen of the night or a countess of the middle ages is the preference of Bridget, of the basement i kitchen. She would not present any other character at the masquerade ball, and she willingly pays from $3 to $5 for I the use of the costume. Salesladies of a j romantic turn of mind and blameless anatomy swear by the betwitching cos tume of the mediasval page with a wonderful wig of "impertinent" blonde hair. Shop girls who have spent some of their few leisure hours in devouring dime novels affect the gypsy maids and shepherdesses, which can be had at from 50 cents to $1 per night. The sterner sex manifests the most paradoxical preferences. One would think, for instance, that a barber would delight in representing the lather-pro ducing Figaro, as Mozart and Rossini have 60 wonderfully depicted, but with him it must be a full-fledged knight in armor bright, and. the Ingers olli an "winged word" at the helmet. Pale faced clerks, who go home in batches after dark because they are afraid of sand-baggers, ma'ie excellent Italian banditti, with formidable sugar-loaf hats and lean calves, and the hard-worked journeyman must make a count in silk attire, at least, should the robes of royalty in the costumer's stock have given out.? Chicago Herald. Cure for JPilcs. Piles are frequently preceeded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affec tion of the kidneys or neighboring or gans.

The Charlotte bouud passenger train on the Richmond and Danville road crossed the Yadkm river bridge yester day at noon. The train had scarcely disappeard in the distance when the bridge went down. The passenger coaches were crowded, and when the train reached Salisbury and the passen gers heard that the bridge had fallen be hind them, they felt like they had been sentenced to be hanged but had a re spite. It was a narrow escape.?Char lotte Observer. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

The Peculiarly Xtnpreulre Burial Cere monies of Xexloo?At a " Fan da." You see two or three kinds of f unerals hero. -The firsfc-olass is grand, and is all conducted from first to last with many carriages. The second-class is the kind I attempted to see by the street car route. The third-class is the kind I now en countered?the funeral of the poor. The coffins of these are red or blue, as a rule, and have many figures or marks; much like the signs and figures found on the cases containing mummies. The wood of these coffins is very thin and light. For wood is costly, and the poor here are so pitifully poor. I followed this mixed and 6tolid pro cession through the great high gate and on up a watered avenue of splendid eu calyptus trees for fully half a mile. The little barelegged Indian who bore Iiis neighbor on his back never once at tempted to rest or break his "dog-trot" till he set the coffin down on end at a row of graves. Here, where the trees are small and the ground is not in very good order, I saw at least 100 graves. The men?no women were immediately among the mourners?ran along, looked down into the graves, seemed to select one to please them, came back, ordered the little bare legged Indian to pack up, and in less than a rninute, busy as a lot of ants, they let down the red coffin into the neat white grave. And they then hastily covered it over; while a priest came from a little chapel close by, book and candle in hand, sprinkling some dust, saying a few words softly, and then back to his hermitage; while the barefooted men and the little barelegged Indian?in fact they were all Indians, all barefooted, and the poorest of the poor?went back down the avonue of tombs, flowers and splen did trees ?lowly and silently. It was then that the impressive part of the ceremony took place. A little crowd of women had come hovering in the distance after these men. They now came closer and hovered around the grave. They cried some and moaned and mooned, all the time placing flowers on the grave. And when they had done there was one more billow of red in the cemetery of Dolores. I knew not why, but this little group of weeping women all the time kept re minding me of Mary and her friends when they came to the tomb of our savior. They had brought their flowers in an extra little blue coffin, watch they carried back to the city with them. A little stick was set up at the head, with a small piece of pewter or zinc about the size of your palm, with the name and date and age. That was all?a little 2 cent tombstone. And there are miles and miles of these here. You can see by the holes in them that some of them have been tacked up many times by tender hands after the former sticks have rotted down. Over some of the graves of the poor here you see little houses covered with long cypress moss. These little houses are nearly always full of flowers. On onc>?fu.ve I saw a pair of little baby shoes. And this moved me greatly. Not entirely because of the pathos of it, but partly because it is a little like the feeling of the Indians of the western states for their dead, where they place all the property of the departed on the grave. Once outside the somber shadows of the graveyard, the party of men and women united and entered a restaurant or ' fando," at the roadside by the en trance to the cemetery. I, too, was very hungry, and passed in-with the others. They had their own provisions, however, and while I ate a broiled chioken, fried eggs, and peppers, and drank three little pitchers of pulque, I watched them at their simple meal at the other end of the little table; two other red and figured coffins on men's backs passing the door meantime, we one and all uncovered and bowed our heads, as is the Mexican custom. One of the women hod a great heap of tortiUas, or corn cakes, which she warmed up one by one and seasoned with grease and pepper and salt at the char coal fire burning at a little red grate in the corner of the adobe shed wluch I have named a restaurant. It is labeled outside "Fonda," but I have always found it best in my travels to leave out all un familiar names, and so I never use local words or names if I can avoid it. An other of the women had onions and a great heap of the smallest of fishes, much smaller than "whitebait" of the Thames. Another woman with her sharp finger nails tore up some onions and spread them over the cakes, along with a few small fishes. Another of the women had some sort of weeds for salad. I think it may have been radish tops. Finally, when the tortillas, or thin com cakes, were all warmed and smeared over and rolled up into rolls like a croquette, then all began to eat and to drink. They drank plenty of pulque from little brown pitchers, and they ate their poor repast, these half-naked and most kindly people up here on the ashes of Dolores, offering me always whatever they had before they tasted it themselves, and in a few minutes, I am glad to record, the funeral was behind them. They "let the dead bury the dead," and all soon were as merry as crickets.?Joaquin Miller's Mexico Letter. Instead or Flowers at Funerals. An effort is being made in Stockholm to introduce the custom of sending in stead of flowers to a funeral a card on which is inscribed a receipt for a contri bution to some benevolent institution. Such cards, for the amount of 5 crowns each, can be had at the bookstores for the benefit of a proposed children's hospital. ?Foreign Letter. Japan's Population and Area.

WlKKSBOBO, S. C, May 22.? Information has just been received here of a willful and deliberate murder which was committed at Dawkin's, a small station on the Spartanburg Railroad, in this County, on last Thursday. Eli Free, a white man, was stabbed through the heart by Jim Johnson, colored. The victim died in a few minutes and in the excitement of the moment the murderer was premitted to escape. The deed was without any provoca tion at the time. Free was talkinig with a lew friends, and had*intimation that the negro was about to make an attack on him. The murder is the out come of a former difficulty. In an alter cation last November Johnson was shot by Free and severely wounded. For this the latter was indicted, tried and acquitted here at the last term of Court. The murderer is still at large. He is a mulatto, ginger cake color, about five feet ten inches tall, weighs about -one hundred and sixty pounds, walks rather stiff and slowly, lias a few whiskers on the side of his face and a small lump or mark on the right eye, speaks rather deliberately, and seems to have a slight impediment in his voice.?Columbia Register. GORDON AND BACON. Joint Discussions to be Abandoned Be cause of Excited Public Feeling. Atlanta, Ga., May 21.?The strong personal tone that has been given to the joint discussions between Gen. Gor don' and Major Racon, the rival candi dates for the Governorship, in their tour through the Stale, has aroused partisan feeling everywhere as it has not been aroused for a Ion?; time. Every com munity is divided into factions on tch question whether Major Bacon did right iu quitting the army in 1803. So great is the tension on public feeling that Patrick Walsh, on behalf of Major Bacon, and E. P. Horwcll, for Gen. Gordon, have decided that the jofnt discussions shall cease with the engage ment for to-morrow. It is remarked that the propositon to abandon the prearranged programme came from Major Bacon's friends. Xow that each of the candidates can make separate dales for speaking, free from the pres ence of his adversary, it is feared that the personal references of each to the other will grow more pointed.
