The ball given by a number of young
gentlemen of the city at the Rondel la

occasion were Miss Annie llii! ol
Greenville. Miss Mabel Fleming, and
Miss Marie Converse of Spartan burg,
Miss Carrie Hill of GrooiivlUo, Miss
Nora Fowler of Spartunburg, and
Misses Gibbes, Mars, Louise Fleming
and Maggie Finley of (ireeuwood.
The. visiting gentlemen were Messrs.

Mart Floyd, of Spartanburg, Will
Sirrlue, of Greenville, Marens Spear
man, of Newberry, Walter Green, of

Clias. L. Davis will be the attraction
at tho Opera House. Thursday Fob.
1st., in his play, "Alvin Joslin," which
ho has plaved from the AM ntlc to the
Pacific ocean. By his endeavors,
perseverance and strict application to
business, he has won for himself fame
and fortune. His management of tho
Alvin Joslin Comedy Company stands
as one of the land murks of success in
the theatrical flrmumont. lie wrote
his own play, designod his .own print
ing and directs Iiis own rehearsals, and
is the only ease on record in the theat
rical business that a star has accom
plished all this with success, a^ actors
usually make bad managers, and vice
versa. The play will bo mounted with
Mr. Davis' usual carefulness to detail
that has always been a feature with
him. Tho sconory having been painted
and his Pittsburg house under his per
sonal direction, and the Brooklyn
bridge, by moonlight Is said to be a
marvel of tho scenic painter's art. In
speaking of Alvin Joslin. the Boston
Post of a recent date says: "Mr. Chns.
L, Davis and his original creation. 'Al
vin Joslin.' has a strong hold on then! ro
goers. That tho play has stood the
test of time and caprice of the public
is not to be wondered at. Evor since
its conception it i as been a brilliant
success. It affords Mr, Davis an op
portunity to do a very clover and uni
que bit Of character acting. As a fun
creator in this particular line Mr.
Davis lias no equal. Tho play is put
on in an idahorate manner, every do
tail being carefully looked after. The
supporting company is the strongest
Mr. Davis lias ever put together."

It is Plutarch who says that "An ac
tion of small note, a short saying or jest
will distinguish a person's roal character
nioro than tho greatest sieges or the
most important battles," and Lavater,
til.' father of physiognomy, declares that
no man can set a glass upon a table
without betraying to a certain extent
his individuality. True, no doubt, but
ono must have tho keen vision, tho well
trained eye, in order to interpret these
mystic signs. Tho indications Of char
acter us exhibited iu the walk of a per
son, however, uro patent to every be
holder and may bo deciphered by the
most untutored, the least astute.

they pass to their varied avocations.
Tako, for example, tho man just ap
proaching. His chin is elevated to an
angle of 20 degrees, a suit important
frown corrugates Iiis brow, a complacent
smile plays about his mouth, he struts
rather thun walks. Need I point hiin
out as a man of boundless conceit, of
monumental brass, of colossal gall? His
amiability is imperturbable, for one who
is absolutely sell* satisfied is apt to tako
an indulgent view of the world at large.
His faith in himself is limitless. No
traitorous feeling of self distrust will
over cause his failure. Ho will under
tako without tho slightest misgiving
What A man of ten times his ability would
hesitate to attempt. His success in lifo

ing Unit if traced to its roots it would bo
found to spring from defects rather than
merits.
The dress of tho woman comic.g just
behind him is arranged with mathemat
ical exactness. Tho placing of each pin
has been a matter of special care. Her
lips are compressed, her hands clasped
primly before her, her steps are taken
with painful accuracy; there i3 not a
hail bread th's difference in the length of
theui. If you follow her to her homo,
you will And that tlio same scrupulous
ness prevails in the disposition of every
thing about her. Tho furniture is ar
ranged with rectangular exactness,
there is not a pin out of place in her
bureau drawers, and tho jars upon her
pantry shelves are marshaled like sol
diers on parade. She will accomplish
no great work in life, however. She is a
precisionist and spends her time labori
ously doing nothing. And. also, tako
Oars of this woman. She is absolutely
Uncompromising, and all about her must

Hut don't?you who arc in search of a
wife?fall into the opposite on or of chous
ing as tt life companion the girl with tlio
fl'OUSy head, the Skirt Of whoso dress
dips iu points, whose gait, is careless,
who swings her arms as sho walks. She
is generous, warm hearted, good natur
ed, possessed of noble traits, but con
fusion, with all its hideous train of evils,
follows in her wake. Ono foresees for
heran untidy, chaotic household, irreg
ular, ill arranged meals and uncleanly,
badly governed children. If her husband
happens to ho a strong, an exceptionally
strong man, ho will simply bo supremely
wretched and uncomfortable. If not,
his ambition will bo paralyzed, bis dis
position spoiled; he will esonpo tho phys
ical discomforts of bis situation byovery
moans in bis power and perhaps drown
tho recollection of them in drink.
Tho man with the shuffling, uncertain
gait, whoso steps seem to be directed by
no guiding power within, is weakmitid
ed. Thoro is nothing which more surely
betrays feebleness of intellect than tho
walk. And ho of the awkward gait, tho
restless manner, the furtive glance, is
tho morbidly self conscious man, who
cannot for a moment divest himself of
tho sense of boiug obsorved; who lives,
so to speak, under a glass case. And ho
of tho soft, cautious tread, who gives you
tho impression of creeping upon some
object us a cat creeps up upon a bird, is
foliuo in bis nature. He is not to bo
trusted; ho is treacherous; every faculty
of his mind is poised for a spring.
Lot nio commend to your confidence
tho man just coining into view?tho mau

straight forward directness, as if toward
some given point, Ho is "stable ill all

the attainment of Which bo advances
with unswerving Steadfastness, never
turning to tho right or the left, never
allowing himself to bo drawn into by
paths, no matter how alluring. His vic

limitless. Nor is it, to bo wondered at
that Iho characteristics of men and wom

About a quarter of a century later,
James H. Peck, a federal district judge
in Missouri, was impeached for oppress
ive treatment of an attorney. Tho easo
was of no importance. Tho judgo was
acquitted.
Thirty years afterward, at tho begin
ning of tho war of tho rebellion, Judgt
West H. J luniphreys of tho federal dis
trict court of Tennessee joined tho Con
federacy and accepted judicial offico un
dor it, without taking tho troublo to

was impeached mainly in order to vacato
the Office and convicted on June 20,1?G'2.

history of tho memorable trial, which
lasted for nearly three months and in
which tho holtest of political passions
wore enlisted. Thirty-six votes were
needed to convict. No voto was over
taken except on the threo strongest ar
ticles?tho second, third and eleventh?
and on each of theso the senate stood 515
for conviction to 11) for acquittal, im
peachment, failing by a single vote. Ono
of tho counsel who defended President
Johnson was the Hon. William M. Kvarts
of Now Voik.
The sovonth und last federal impeach
ment was that of William W. Belknap,
Grant's secretary of war. He was charged
in ISi? with corruption in office, and tho
house voted unanimously to impeach
him. Ho resigned hastily a few hours
before the passage ot tho impeaohment
resolution, and Iiis resignation wus
promptly accepted by Grant. Tho trial
proceeded nevertheless, Belkuap's de
fense was a denial of jurisdiction, based
Otl tho circumstance that when tho im
peachment resolution passed tho house
ho had ceased to be a civil officer of tho
Uuiled States. The impeachment pro
ceedings tailed by tho lack of a two
thirds majority in the senate for convic
tion.
ft will bo observed that in only two
cases have impeachment proceedings
Against a civil officer of the United
States been prosecuted successfully bt

sentatives. Ono of these was for tho re
moval of a drunken and profane judge,
whoso presence upon tho bench was a
public scandal. Tho other was a purely
formal proceeding to vacato the ollico of
a judgo actually engaged in open rebel
lion against tho government, but tech
nically still an incumbent of his offico
under tho government. Of the fivo un
successful impeachment proceedings on
record, two failed for want of noris
dietion. Of the whole seven cases, four
concerned judicial officers. Only oneo
