" We tiro just a nice party now,'' Huid one young lady, looking ?p from hur lapful of shaded silks: " I hope nobody elso will coiuo !" " Except to fill vucanoiob as wo drop off," > aid a geutloinun. as be laid aside bin letters. " You will eeo two vacant chairs at the tablo to-morrow." "Very well)" was tbo reply. "It you must go, we will spread ourselves and keep the tablo full. If wo can't have Mrs. 1'iruco and you, wo don?t want anyone." Tbo next morning tbo home-bound truvollers left ou tbo oarly stago, and, at tbo last moment, anotbor guost de cided to accompany tbom. The party remaining went out, some to rumble in the pino woods, some to the concert in the casino. Keturu Injj toward dinnor tlmo, they found that u tologruin bad boon rocoived ft oiu Miss Millcont Paul, bespeuklng a loom. There was a shout of delight On reading tho telegram. Mllllcont 1'anl was known to sumo of tho party, und two of t hem bad boon ber sehool mntoH at a fashionable sominary three years beforcf. ?'Millcont will bo tho rosoleaf on our cup of happiness," said ono : "uud bow fortunate that thoro is room foi* her at our tablo." Tbo dlnuor bell rang, and tho merry group betook thomsolvcsto tho dining room. Two chairs were ttirnod down nt the tublo. "Who has como V" tho guests In quired Of Ono another. As they took thoir scats, a man and his wife entered, in a hesitating man ner, ivud wore given tho chairs. Swllt glances were diroctod nt them, and Bide looks exchnngod. They were evidently plain, hand-working people, entirely unaccustomod to traveling, and to ly;?el lire*. " In. an iustunt the orjglearparty became a clique. They hardly concealod their disliko of these now-comore, who bad brought among them a personality that jarred on all their sonso of what was stylish, con ventional and ugrecublo. Tho two strangers ato hoartlly, helped them selves to what they wanted, finished thoir moal, aud left tho table, boforc tbo rost of tbo company had rcachod their nuts uud raisins. "Did youcvor?" " 1 call it au out rage, forcing such pooplo on us." "Tho ploughman had hotter stay at homo and plough." "His'hundt: took away my appotlto." "I hope they arc not going to stay over night." The oltonding couple spent tho after noon walking about to see tho viows, and then sat out in tho piazza till sup per tlmo. Aftor supper, tho criticism recommenced. "They'ro going to stay. Thoir trunk has gone up to No. 14." "What will Millcont Paul say? She will have to sit next to tbom. She'll freeze them with ono glance when sho sees that hand reaching In front of 'nor for tho butter." "Oh, como now !" said tho brother of tho last speaker I "you know they needed the buttor, and you should have passed It, scolng tho waiter was not on hand." " Hush ! I'm too provoked for any thing. Wo wero such a nico party till those folks pushed in. And when MUlcent is coming, too ! It just spoils tho table." Next day, while tho newcomers wero out, Millcont Paul arrived amid tho wolcomlng oxclamations of her friends. Sho was a tall, slondorgirl, with an anlmuted countenance, fash ionably dressed, carrying gold eye glasses, and holding her head aloft in a way peculiarly bor own. Sho had plenty to say, said it well, and was at oaco tbo contro of*everything. At dinner time sho took too vacant seat, and was just receiving her pinto ^ of sodp, when tho much-criticised couple came in. The guests wore all curiously watchful, but Miss Paul seomed to notlco nothing. She was Jflving a vivid description of her ournoy. Suddently she paused an in tant. " I bog your pardon!" sho said, Kleasantly, as her ombarrussed noigh or attempted, rather awkwardly, to reach the salt, und, placing it con veniently noar, sho resumed hor de scription. "May I trouble you for tho popper?" ehe asked him a little later; "not -black, I profor white. Thank you." And sho spoke in oxactly tho sumo tono as when sho asked handsome young Mr. Waring, across tho tablo, if ho know when the mail wont out. He admired her none the less for it. "Sho hue a broader outlook than the rest of us," he thought to hlmsolf. A trip to tho Notch was planned for tho noxt day, to go In tlm morning and return at night. Thoro were enough to fill two mountain wugons. No, not quite enough. Thoso who counted found thoro would bo room for ? tWO more. ' "Don't mention it, or Mr. Wilbur and his wifo may offer to go," said ono lady, with u touch of irritation in hor voice. " Oh 1 wo can't have them." said ono of tho girls who had bcou Miss rani's schoolmate, "can wo Milicont?" " Why not?" asked Miss Paul. Oh ! why, because?you know? no doubt thoy are oxcoliont people, but how they would look along with us I" "My dear Hotty," said Miss Paul, "why bo narrow? Why voluntarily llvo in a groove? I have found tho most interesting people in the most un expected places. Don't turn your back ? upon your fellow-creaturos." Mr. Waring stopped into tho hall whore tho Wiiburs stood diffidently ^ examining the last yoar's register. " Would you like to tako tho trip / to vho Notch, to-ruori ow, with tho rost ' of tho party ?" he oskod, cordially. " We would llko It very much," said the man. "Very much indood!" echoed hla wife. "Tho oxpense la three dollars for each seat." "That's all right," said tho man. "And now which of us will have to ?U next them ?" murmured tho girls In tho parlor. But whon the teams woro roady tho noxt morning, it was Miss Paul who gracofully and unconcornodly oltmbod over tho whooland sat by tho Wilburs. It was not that sho proferrod tbo neat, oxcopt as she folt instinctively that they wero at a little disadvant age with the othors, and it was, per haps, one secret of hor porfeot boarlng in social circ.es that her private rule of polltenoss was tho littlo'old-fashion ed couplet: ?Poutnese h lodo und to nay Tho kindest thing In the kindest way." Tho party was a morry ono : they sang songs-and waved tho hotel colors )vo a'tong, oaoh wagon drawn by four splondid while horses. They stopped at the lake to enjoy boating /and U> >?oar the. echo. While thoy floated on the water, Mhs Pun), sang j.ivo or th?-oo Venot iau bout songs, to, "f*learned t.ho.e of our durk-t-y. d high and clear against the cloudless ? It v. Tncro were other i trtio* out, u tally ho coachfuh and soveraf. teams coming from different directions; but noontimo found them all either dining at the nearest hotel or lunching in the woods close by. A party of Southerners, driving up iu a surrey, espied Milicent Paul, and bailed her enthusiastically. She brought them to her own party under the trees, and said, as she presented them: " Tboso travelers aro from Georgia. We met in Washington, last winter, and became friends." Mr. Wilbur experienced a slight mental shock. Ills father had lost lx>th legs In the war, and ho himself had novor 'thought of a Southerner excopt as a foe at hoart. Yot hero woro those people bowing to him with the rest, In cordial, pleasant fashion. Language had not beeu given to Mr. Wilbur for the purpose of concealing bis thought. He looked earnestly at the stranger nearest him. " I never oxpeotod to meet a South ern muu." ho said, in blunt tones; " toy father was inado a crlpplo in tho war." " And mine lost his life," replied the Southern man, gently. "But it is all over now. You ana I have one country." . "So wo have?so wo have !" said Mr. Wilbur, and the two shook hands silontly. This sceno cscapod the notice of tho rest of the company, who had at onco onguged in lively conver sation : but to both men it was one of tboso llttlo strokes that help to ohisel character. "Oh, what a beautiful, beautiful day among the mountains this has boon IV said Milicent Paul, when they were homoward bound. "I hope you havo enjoyod It, too Mrs. Wilbur." " I have, vory much. I shull novor forget It," said tho qulot llttlo woman, her fuco glowing. Tho Wilburs loft, tho *?oxt day. Miss I !aul shook hands with thorn whon thoy wont, and roost of tho others did tho same. Thoy wont away happy und satisfied. Thoy said to oach other It had had been a good holiday. It was a llttlo awkward at first among strangers, but It hod all ended pleasantly, und thoy hud soon so much. " Aro you going to correspond with them, Milicent?" asked her old school mete, toaslngly. "Hotty, dear," said Mtlloont, "you really must opou your oyos wider, and sec the world you live In ; you will find it w ill repay you. Tho Wilburs aro only passing acquaintances, like many others; we may never moot them again. But in conversing, I found out two or three llttlo things which may interest you. When Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur woro marriod, ten years ogo, his mother hud just died, and thoro woro brothers and slaters, besides tho crippled father, to bo carod for. Mrs. Wit our and hor husband put their shoulders choorfully to the wheol, and worked together. It was farm life and farm work. Tho fathor died, u your ago, and the brothers and sisters now take care of theuiselvos. So this year, whon buying and cauning woro ovor. the Wilburs deoldcd to tako a llttlo holiday, andsoo tho mountains. Neither of thorn ovor saw a mountain before. It has been tho groat event of their lives. 1 cannot toll you how glad I am that thoy wont with us yostorday. " So am I," said Hotty. "Another llttlo thing came out, too. I found out whore thoy Uvo. Thoy told mo it wus closo by too Shoro Lino railroud, a mile from the smallest Rhode Island station, a small, red farm house, with two apple troos and a garden In front. 'With a box border!" I exclaimed, 'two rows of piuks. tho bluest larkspurs In tho world, and tho reddest popples ?" Yes, that was it, she said. Why, girls, I always look at that house and gardon when I travel by that road, aud have often wondorod who livod thoro. Now I know !" "Girls!" said Hotty, after Milicent loft tho room to get the pillow covor she had promised to show them, " I feel like a grub! Shull I ovor boa butterfly ? And do you wonder that exorybody loves Milicont Paul ?" - tmM * A GOOD MAN GONE. A Prominent Farmer of York County i'nsses Away, Voikviile Enquirer. Mr. Robort T. Biggins, a woll known and prominent oitizen of York County, died at his homo at Blalrsvlllo recently. Mr. Biggins wus born on tho 14th day of duly, 1847. His educational oppor tunities wore confined to the common schools of the neighborhood ; but boing an industrious young man of bright iutelloct, ho acquirod u knowlodgo of men and things, which, in afterlife, gavo him a Ifigh standing among his followmon in whatovor calling. Upon tho call for tho young men of 1(> years of ago, Mr. Biggins wont to tho war. Hostilities woro nearly at a closo at tho timo, howover, and ho was novor engaged in a regular battle. Returning homo ho wont to work on a farm, and on November 10, 18(58, ho was married to Miss B. N. Warllck, of Blalrsvlllo. Becoming a member shortly after tho incoption of tho organization, Mr. Biggins was connected with all tho more important operations of the kuklux in this section during tho ox istonce of tho klans. Shortly after martial law was doolurod, ho wus ar rested by the military authorltlos and incarcerated in jail on various gravo charges, Including conspiracy and mur dor. Iiis imprisonment commonced in tho lattor purt of 1871, and for a llttlo more than throo. years ho was trans ferred first to ono jail aud thon anothor. A portion of tho timo ho was in Char lotto, thon In Columbia, and finally In York. During his imprisonment, the military authorities used all the arts In their power to-sooure from him a confession that would implicate his companions. Thoy threatened, per secuted, and ovon offered him his liborty, for tho desired information, but ho told nothing. During the last two years of his imprisonment, ho and his companion, Mr. IC. B. Sapocb, had tho keys of tho jail, and the only bar rier to liborty was tholr porsonal hon or. But thoy stood tho raokot to tho end. In June 1874, Mr. Biggins was transferred to Albany, N. YT, penlton tiary. Ho romainod thoro until Chrlst mus of tho samo year, whon, through tho continued ofTorts of friends at homo, ho wns granted a pardon and allowed to roturn to his family. Several yoars ago, Mr. Biggins was oleoted to tho ofhco of county commis sioner. At that timo, under the law, the duty of suppressing tho Illegal salo of intoxicating liquor outside the in corporated towns, foil on tho county comiuilsiuners. Truo to his duty, Mr. Biggins started a erusado against the liquor doalors. Ho aroused tho bitter ness of those doalors and their frionds against him aud when he offered for re-election, ho.was dofeated by a small minority. Two yoars ago tho State legislature elected him as a raombor of the hoard of penitentiary directors. Ho has all along taken a doep and con scientious Interest in his work, and Is entltlod to much of tho credit for tho elllclent run..nor In which that Institu tion has been managod during the prosont administration. Becoming a mombor of tho Alllanoo at Its first organization In this county, ho soon began to tako a leading place In tho councils of the order, and at its lost annual meeting was dented presi dent of the county oiganizatlou. Ho was also a loading Farmors' Movomont man in this county, and in polities was a sincere and conscientious Reformer, who had the ontiro confidence of all with whom he camo in contact. It Is universally admitted that in politics bin motives /have always been pure, THE ONE-nousE POLITICIAN. There's mnny changes in this earth, While some arc dyiugsoine have birth, And some take new position; Home thm wear ort and some decay. There's one thing here aud here to stay. The one-horse politician While modest men with Judgment clear Don't claim to give one-half they hear The proper exposition; With wisdom in abundant store He known it all and something more? The one-horse politician. He knows what motives prompt each deed, And knows tust what the people noed . To better their condition ; The sick, the troubled and the poor. He knows exactly how to cure, That onc-horso politician. He knows just where dishonor lies, Knows who are weak and who arc wise, Aud who above suspicion; His party lenders and their nrew Can do no wrong, they're always true, sayu the one-horse politician. He knows the government bv heart, Knows all its wants in ev'ry part, And ev'ry man's condition ; Ho otdy wantsa half a view To read the tariff bill clear through, That one-horse politician. The income tax without a doubt He knows just bow to cipher out And put in right notation ; Just how the silver hill should go, In half a second ho can show, That one-horse politician. And whether Uncle Sam should own The railroad, telegraph and 'phone He knows by intuition; He knows just how this land of ours Should treat with all the foreign powers? That one-horse politician. His own affairs are badly mixed,! A mortgage deed is firmly fixed, On all of his posser sions; Yet ho can toll us how to guide Our nation's finance, with much pride, That one-horse politician. His voice iB loud, his lungs are strong, Hin mouth is wide, his tongue is long, Vibrating, with ambition; Small is the calibre he'll score, And yet we have no greater bore Than the one horse politician. THE NOBLE ART OF LYING. A Woman Thinks it a Necessity In So ciety?A Man Who Was Grieved by the Habit?A Feeling Tribute to Ldars. i " Everybody should know how to lie well," said a woman. "Ono oannot llvo in the world with any degree of Seace and comfort without lying a good oal, and ono ought to bo able to do it well. Every ono knows that a good liar must have a good momory. Other things, too, are neoessary. A small vocabulary for ono; tho fower words the better. Whon you are lying, stick to facts, If I may put It that way, and loave out detail. Novor volunteer a lie. An unnecessary Ho Is as dangor ou8 as tho truth. Don't toll improb able Hob. To tell an improbablo llo Is morely plucky; It Isn't art. Always bo whole-soled about your lios. Don't bo niggardly and spoil a good llo by patch iug it up with half truth. Au artistic liar will omploy tho truth as a sort of background, but ho won't mix it in a weak - minded way calculated to destroy all real effect." In Cambridge, Ind., llvod a well known old gentleman by the name of Josiah Nixon, who in early boyhood had acquired tho habit of gross exag geration. Tho habit had grown upon him so that he bellovod ovorythlqg ho said was tho truth, no matter how great tho exaggeration. After he had reached tho ripe ago of throe-score and ten somo of tho deacons in the church thought It was too much liko lying to pass unnotleod, and It was de cided after a groat doal of considera tion, that tho old gontloman be ohurched. One ovoning while seated in front of his door, tolling a small clrclo of neighbors about tho way the pioneers had to live tho gato opened and tho delegation of deacons filed In. ? " Yos," the old gontloman was say ing, "we had hard times then. I lived two years on grass and hiokory bark on Sunduys. Wo uso to call Sun days 1 bark days ' on that account, and that's tho only way wo oould toll when Sunday came. Boars! I soo 1,200 great big varmints onct around our camp, and I killed? % "Undo Josiah," broke in ono of the deacons, " wo have coine to seo you about this habit of yours. You have tho unploasaut bablt of forgetting tho truth whon talking, and wo have come to remonstrate with you." "I know it, deacon," ropllod tho old man, as ho looked around. " I know it, and I want to toll you that I have grioved over that fallin' of mine 500,000 times a day for tho past 200 years." Tho .Memphis Commercial has boon moved to pay editorial trlbuto to liars. Wo do not know whether it Is moved by that follow fooling which makes us wondorous kind, or wrothor ho Is actu ated by pure magnanimity. Our con temporary writes as ono having full knowledge of tho subject, but whether It writes from the standpoint of an ex port, or has boeu movod by admiration for tho talent of somo liar by whom it has boon viotimi/.ed. wo can only con jeoture, and we loave our roadors to do tho same. The Commercial says : Who sots the great enterprise, afloat ? Who Is tho o?''glnntor of vast invest ments and ti.o instigator of magnifi cent projeots ? The liar. Who Is it that floats the bonds, vis counts tho paper and manuoovors Uiq Indltial stops of corporations and con solidations? Who is it that has settled tho wild lands of the West and made Uncle Sam no longer a free holder ? Tho liar. . . "Who is it that originates "booms" and distribr' capital from the un wary tote e ? . Who is it . oat, makes wild-cat mines suocossful and sots a prize upon hu man ingenuity V Who is it that gives tho impetus to polities and the trend to polltioal econ omy 0 The liar. The truth is, the liar has as many guises as Proteus. Anon he wishes to make your fortuno, and again ho wants to borrow a dollar. But no is ill ways pleasant, affable and ngrooable, wheth er engaged in tho soliciting of millions in world stirring plans, or In attempt ing to secure a free lunch. The truth ful man will affront you with rude can dor and hold up your faults brutally to your notice. Hit tho liar?he will do nothing of tho t t. Ho will make you comfortable and'liappy. Ho will put you at poaco with tho world and with destiny. Whether he is In comraorco, In poli tics, or in tho show business, whether ho Is offering you a position or asking a favor, let him be respected in the future, aud let his merits be rocog ninod. _ _ _ Constipation and siok-hoadaoho posl tlvoly cured by Jupaneso Liver Pel lots ;,50 pills 25 etm.

The eyes of tho civilizod world oro now resting upon tho new Czar of Bus sla, Nicholas II, and millions aro anx iously awaiting uny indication that might tond to show what his future policy will bo relative to important matters of state. Tho question of how tho Hebrews will bo treated during tho new reign is a most interesting one, and one that especially interests thlscOUntry. Since tho reign of the doooosed Emporor be gan, in 1881, the immigration from Russia and Poland to tho United States havo numbored not loss than 500,000 souls. A greater portion of those peo ple woro not voluntary Immigrants, but woro'Jowish refugees driven from their nativo country by tho oruol policy of tho Czar. Thoy woro either %o bo con fined to a special district or submit to exilo. An exchange makes tho following interest in,"; remarks on this important Russian question: " Tho American people havo never donlod the rites of hospitality to fugi tives from oppression and persecution who havo asked to sit at thoir hearth. Nor uro thoy disposed to turn bock worthy and industrious immigrants from any soction of Europo who may sook to hotter thotr condition in this country In proforonco to settlement In Australia, Africa or South Amorioa. But thoy havo nothing but detestation for a ruthless policy in Russia that has flung upon these shores multitudes of oxiloB, many of whom are unfitted to begin in lifo anow in a strango land undor harsh and untoward conditions.

FINANCES. Jonah Held Up as An Example to Preachers on ThtsJjIue.* The Ram's Horn, which is a novelty in religious journalism, has the follow ing observations on ministerial finan ces In the course of an article on " Tho Prophet Jonah:" "A romai'kably notlcoablo thing about Jonah is that whon ho boarded the ship for TarshiBh, he paid the faro himself. He didn't try to get a pass on account of his povorty, or expect, a re duction bee a iso he was a preoehor, but pulled out his wallet and laid down the cash, and went to his state-room with out any lotting down in his solf-re speot. If ho had any such thing as a ministerial vhine, he left it behind him when he traveled. He did not go go the capi iiu .with a long face and complain that God had boon taking such poor ca o of him that unless ho cold travel aV nominal ratos ho couldn't f;o on that si Ip, but ho paid the fare n full, and he paid it out of .uouey ho found in Mb own pocket. "Unlike Jonah, thero are some preachers who are not as anxious ab they should be to render an honest equivalent for what they got, and then there are otl era who hurt the cause of God by always boing in a bogging atti tude for tho c.huch. Jobus Christ was poor but he never begged. God always put it into the heart of somebody to minister to him according to his need, and he is still taking care of his ser vants who nre faithful. A law was handed down to Moses from heaven that the fa it if ul ox who trod out tho grain should not be muzzled, and this ought to bo c vldonce enough that God means that tho prouchor who is any account shal always havo enough to eat. The ox didn't hu>ve to moan and groan for sttnw enough to keep him. alllvo, but had a God-glvon right to help him sol to corn whenever ho wanted it.

In keeping sweet potatoes through tho wintor months, or from harvest till harvest time again, a fow essen tials of success must bo borno lu mind. 1. The potatoes must bo fully matured when dug. 2. They must bo dug bo foro frost, if practical or as soon there after as possslblo, or at any rate before tho oi'own of the potato becomes frost bitten. A potato that Is cold bitten cannot and will not keep. 3. They must bo kopt cloar of frost, rain and moisturo rlsiug from below. 4. They should bo covorod lightly until thoy havo gouo through their sweat, and are thoroughly dry, putting on more cover as the weather grows colder, until by the timo sevoro weather sots I In there should bo sufficient dry dirt I above and around thorn to elTootually exclude all frost. One fact to which wo wish to call special attention is that inoro potatoes are lost annually through wrapping them up) In their wintoricoat too early and keeping them too warm than are lost by undue exposure to cold. In handling thoin use boxes, novor baskets. Sort out all that are cut, broken, bruised or abraded for Im mediate use. They may bo fed to bogs, cows and even horses. They may be kept in bank. It Is advisablo not to bank exceeding fifty bushels in any single pilo. They may bo collared in bulk or in barrels, boxes, bins or hogsheads, tbo interstices filled with dry sand or any dry fine dust, the cellars to be jry and airy and clear of frost. In tho absenco of sand or dry lino dirt, chaff, cut hay or straw, cotton sood, motes from tbo gin, or even leaves will answer. In cellar ing them, tho smaller tho piles, tho easier they can bo looked through and any rotton ones taken out. In banking it is host to disturb the bank as little us possible. After pota toes are once dry, after going through their sweat, if any of them rot it us ually a dry rot, aud does not spread to any great extent. A moderate amount of dampness does not hurt them, but water standing around them either in tho Held, while growing, or after thoy are banked away, causes them to sour \ hen they speedily rot. ?Sheriff Gains and Chief Constable Fant raided the placo of business of Mr. .lohn O'Donnell In Anderson last week, and captured betwoensoven hun dred and a thousand gallons of whis key.

According' to n Chinese authority, Korea, like the world of the anolents, has its " sown wonders." Briefly stated, thoy are as follows: First. A hot rulnoral spring near Kin Shantao, the healing properties of which atv oolieved by the peoplo to be miruoulou8. No matter what disease may afflict the patient, a dip in tho water proves efficacious.' The second wonder is two springs, situated ata considerable distance from each other ; in fact, tboy have breadth of tho entiro peninsula between thorn. Thoy havo two pecularitloB?when one is full tho other is always empty ; aud, notwithstanding tho faet that thoy aro connected by a subterranean passage, one is bitter and the other puio and sweet. Tho third wondoris a cold wavocavo ?a cavern from which a wintry wind perpetually blows. The forco of tho wind from tho cave is such that a strong man cannot stand before it. A forostthat cannot be eradicated is the fourth wonder. No mutter what injury is done to the roots of the trees, which arc largo pines, tboy will sprout up again directly, like tho phcornx from nur ashes. Tho fifth is the most wonderful of all. It Is tho famous " flouting stone." It stands, or Hconis to stund, in front of tho palaoo erected in its houor. It is an irrogular cubo of great bulk. It appears to bo resting on tho ground, frco from supports on all sides; but, strange to say, two men at opposite ends of a rope may pass It under the stono without eneouuteriug any oh staclo whatever. Tlu> sixth wondor is a "hotstone." which, from remote ugos, has lain glowing with boat ou tho top of a high bill. Tho seventh and last Korean wonder Is a drop of tho sweat of Buddha. For thirty pacosaround the temple in which it is enshriued not a blado of grass v. ill ! grow. There aro no trees or flowers Inside the sacred square. Evon the animals decline to profuno u spot so holy, A YOUNG GIRL^ FORTUNE, AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals bo strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood.
