It was drizzling hard. I was speechless from r. heavy cold. Wo were all three worn out with the absurd and fatiguing travesty of a quarantine on the frontier. Twenty Tmkish porter* made a wild rush for our bags the in Etaut the train stopped and forght over them like howling beasts. A tall man with a cast in his eye handed me a card on which my own name was legibly written, and said ho was the dragoman scut by the hotel to take ns in charge. A little man, with a nervous and excited manner, handed mo a card on which also my name was legibly written and said he was the dragoman scut by the hotel to take us iu charge. It was a case for the judgment of Solomon, and I lacked not only the wisdom to decide, but the voice in which to utter my decision There was nothing for it but to let the claimants fig lit it out, which they pro ceeded to do with fervor, rolling over the station floor and pounding each oth er vigorously. The tall man, being much the better combatant, speedily routed his rival, dragged him ignominiously from tho carriage when ho attempied to scale it and carried us off in triumph. But tho race is not always to tho swift, nor the battle to tho strong. The little drago man was game enough not to know when he was beaten. He followed us in auother carriage, and made good his case evid utly with the hotel landlord, for we found him placid and smiling in the corridor next morning waiting his orders for the day. I never ventured to ask how this change came about, lest indiscreet inquiries should bring a second drago man upon my devoted head. So Deme trius remained our guide, philosopher and friend for tho three weeks we spent in Cuustantiuople. Ho was not a bad little man, on the whole; was extremely patient about car rying wraps and was honestly anxious we should suffer no annoyance iu tho streets. But his knowledge upon any subject was of tho haziest description. Ho had a perfect talent for getting us to places at the wrong time—but that may have been partly our fault—and if there was anything ini westing to tell be assuredly never told it. On the other hand, ho considered that, to our occi dental ignorance, the simplest architec tural devices needed an explanation. He would say: “This is a well,” “That is a doorway,” “These are columns sup porting the roof,” with all tho benevo lent simplicity of Harry and Lucy’s father eulighteuing those very intelli gent and ignorant little people. Tho only severe trial that Demetrius suffered in our service was t ho occasion al attendance of the two kuvasses from the American embassy, whose protection was afforded us twice or thrice, through the courtesy of tho embassador. These magnificent creatures threw our poor little dragoman so completely into the to us; the other, » Circassian, wfte pride was t< mpered by affability, eat who was good enough to hold with at the strictly necessary ir tercourMi 1 bear it sa:d now and then by censorioM critics that American women are the most arrogant of their sex, affecting • superiority that is based upon no juatl* finble claim.

Theology. A writer in The Church Standard say* that a guide iu the Holy Land made the following historical explanation to some Americans by whom be was employed: “King Saul, you know, was called Panl after his conversion, and you canalwayi tell a churchman, for be never fails M speak of him os St. Paul ” This recall! tbe old story of a stupid candidate for orders in Oxford who had been repeated ly plucked in his divinity “exam. “ It was at lust decided to ask him one easy question and let him go through if he answered it correctly. The question se lected was, “What was the formtv name of St. Paul, the great apostle the gentiles?” As the examiners hoped, the young man answered “Saul," whioh was correct. But just as they were breathing a sigh of relief over his suc cess the young fellow, proud of bii achievement and anxious to show how much more he knew, turned back aftec he bad opoued the door and added, “He was the son of Kish. “ The Chief Langnag*. It is estimated that the chief luhr gauges of the worid are epoken by the following numbers of people: Chines^ by over 400,000,000; Hiudoostunee, over 100,000,000; English, about 100,* 000,000; Russian, 72,000,000 ;GennaR, over 00,000,000; Spanish, 48,000,004; French, 40,000,000; Japanese, over 40,- 000,000; Italian, over 80,000,000;Turk ish, over 25,000,000.

In Sweden women vote for •A elective officers except representatives: also indirectly for members of tbe upper house. In Ireland the women vote ftp tho harbor hoards and poor law guard ians, and in Belfast for municipal «H- cers. In Russia women householdess vote for all elective officers and ou HI local matters.

VC vr ■f EVERYBODY I TRADING I AT I THE I COMPANY * STORE! The fact that we were selling clothing cheaper than other merchants could buy, was printed in The Ledger last week, and as a result our store was besieged with buyers all day last Saturday. Probably never before in the history of Gaffney was trade so brisk as with us last Saturday. It seemed as if every woman in town and country was out shopping and all buying their goods from us. Nor was it confined to the women alone. They brought with them their husbands, their children, their brothers and sisters. By 9 o’clock we had to call in extra help; by 12 o’clock additional help was needed, and in the afternoon the tired clerks ceased asking the people what they wanted and repaired to the Clothing and Bargain counters and wrapped up goods as the customers crowded pell mell around them. In the evening the lawyers, the doctors, the operatives, the brick layers and the carpenters all joined the throng of buyers. The crowd seemed more like a circus than an opening day. It was reported that several clerks fainted during the day and others threatened to resign, but this has not been confirmed. We have private advices that if the rush that we are having daily continues many clerks in other stores will lose their job. • . secre t °f ** a N ' s « we just everlastingly get there with both feet in buying our goods, as we have a man in New York who does noth ing but hunt bargains for us. Then follow the smiling crowd and save golden dollars is the advice of your humble servant. Manager Store Gaffne/ Manufacturing Coi
