PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT li'WBEPR.I S. C. A Word t. Boy+. [Miss Willard, in Union Signal.] I have miade up my mind to speak to you about a little matter, for I believe you want t) do what is fair. Now, when the girls study just the same books you do, and often go far ahead of you at school; when so many of them study stenography, telegraphing, and other kinds of businles, become teach ers, doctors, missionaries, etc., as they are doing more and more each year, what right have you to sit about, as lazy as a cat, and let these girls work and tug till they are tired out, for your comfort, and to do things which you should attend to yourselves? Don't they like to run and play as well as you do? I)on't they need the exercise and fun that you grt in the great. splendid outdoors, just as much? Are you not physically stronger, and better able to bear the heat of the kitchen, and the breathed-over and over air of in-the house, than they? Ought you not, then. in your big, hearty, good-natured fash ion, to "give-themi a lift," every time, when the work presses on tlien, and to take care of your own room, if they do of theirs? It seems to Ine this is just "a fair divide." Let me tell you about three splendid boys I knew once on a time. Their fath er died, and their dear mother was left to bring them up and to earn the mon ey with which to do it. So these young fellows set in to help her. By taking a few boarders, doing the work herself, and practi nlg strict economy, this bles'se< woman kept out of debt, and gave each of her sons a thorough college education. But if they hadn't worked like beavers to help her, she never could have done it. Her oldest boy only four-teen-treated his mother as if she were the girl lie loved best. He took the heavy jobs of housework off her hands, put on his big apron and went to work with a will; washed the potatoes, pounded the clothes, ground the cotie, waited on table did anything and everything that he could coax her to let him do, and the two younger ones f>llowed his example right along. Those boys never wasted their moth er's noney on tobacco, beer, or cards. They kept at work, and found any amount of pleasure in it. They were happy, jolly boys, too, full of fun, and everybody not only liked, but respected and admired them. All the girls in towni praised them, and I dlon't know any better fortumne for a boy th.an to be praised by good girls, nor anything that boys like better. They all married noble and true wvomen, and to-day one of those boys is presi~dent of a college, goes to Europe every year almost, and is in demand for every good word and work; another lives in one of the most ~-elegant bynses in Evanston, and is my "bel~dfed physician,"' while a third is a well-to-do wholesale grocer in Pueblo, Colorado, and a member of the city council. I tell you, boys who are good to their moth'er and to their sisters in the house always grow up to be nice men. Now, I'm not blaming you boys, nor any - body else. I know that any number of you are good and generous as you haven't been taught to think about these things. iCaise Your Own Bacon. (Abbeville Medium.] Meat is about as necessary to sup port life as bread. This is particularly the case with farm laberers. It is strange then that so little attention is gziven to raising a meat sup~ply by our farmers. They do not seem to give the matter a thought, but still.depend upon foreign markets. Consequently they are at the mercy of speculators. They can make no accurate calculations as to what may be necessary for their annual support. The amount may be more or less as "corners" are made in the pork markets. The way to remedy this evil is for a united eff'ort to be made by the farmers to stock our country with good hogs. The full denmnd could not be met in one or two years but in a very short time there could be a revolution in the nmeat qjuestion. If one0 good hog to each family could be raised this year the peo ple would be relieved qjuite percep)tibly. In twvo years the change for the better would be more marked. The supply raised here would diminish the demand for foreign meat ando conisequently the price of all bacon would be reduced. Good bacon can be p)roduced here for sevenl cents per' pound. We have now to pay ter' cents per pound1( for western bacon. Here would be a save of $30) on each. $100), or $:;00 on each $1000. The money thus saved couLldI be devoted to improving our farms. Besides our people would always be sure of the kind of ba con on their tables. This in itself should be an inducemnlt to try the experiment of hog raisinzg at home. WXe dloubt if there was bacon enough raisedl in the county last year to feed thle pop)ulationi for one week. F'or a farming people this is an inexcusable state of atihirs. It is unreasonable and against commnoni sense. The systeml should not he allowed to continue a day longer. Thousanids upon t housands of dollars arc sent to the northwvest every vear. which might just as well be kept at hiomie and circulated amzonig our own people. No peop)le can sustain them selves if they persist ini suhl folly. We submiit to the connuon sense of every mani iln this section thlat our views are correct. It won't dob to disregard them because we are classed amnong *.newspa p)er farmers."' The q4uestioni is a serious and an inmportant one. Now is the time for a chiani'e of plani. Even the pors farmer ca raise 0110 or two good hogs. Let t he experimenOlt be triedi. During the past year $t93,000) has been realized from cabbages shipped from Wvth~e County. Va., in carload lots alone. In addition it is estimated that the railroads realized about $24,000 from the freight on1 these cabbages. This is a handsome sum to go to one county for an "infant industr.v." Concernag marrnage. [New York Hereld.] The protest of the Hebrews of Colum bia, S. C., against the marriage of young people without their parents' consent strikes at a grave social wrong. It seems that a baptist clergymen re cently united a thirteen-year-old He brew girl to a Christian without her parents' approval. The Hebrews re sent and denounce this. Nothing does more to vitiate the sae redness of marriage than to contract it in a heedless manner. There is no one act within the power of man or woman which so deeply affects personal happi ness and the peace of society. And un less we surround marriage with its proper safeguards and dignity, dealing with it as a holy ordinance or a sacra nient,.it is a burden and apt to degener ate into crime. We are taught that whenever a young man sees a ribbon rustling in the wind, or a young lady summons a smile to some lad's pelac-h down cheeks, it neans marriage. This foolish phil osophy w%e learn from popular novelists aud often from popular clergymen. What volumes of nonsense are. talked and writen about true love and the holy affections; stern fathers holding their daughters for money; managing mothers selling their childrin for gold; pure affections ignored for gain! Par ents have a voice in what concerns their children-health, education, com fort, amusements, opportunities, future; they live, strive, slave, work; die for their children; but in marriage-the most important-we are taught that the affections are holy and parental in terference is tyranny. For a young girl to run away with some clerk, or the young man to carry a maiden from the home where she is the centre of a king dom of love, devotion, reverence, to strugle with poverty, is to become the social hero of the hour. And the world applauds, saying with Emerson that all the world loves a lover. When woman was secluded, held in the restraint which prevails in eastern countries; when even in civilized Eng land she was only something better than the hound, something dearer than the horse; when her womanhood was an indifferent social incident and her honor could be torn form her and worn without reproach as a plume; we can understand the rebellion against domestic government which marks the old comedies. But it should be remem bered that these old comedies picture old days. Persons whom our sainted grandfathers would laud as a successful gallant would now be thrown into a horse pond, and the darling of Con greve's drawing rooms would be kicked out of a modern club. Woman is now under no restraint-hardly the retraint of public opinion. She sees the world as it is. Her parents are not jailers, but friends, wvise, experienced friends, and in nothing so sure to be wise as in what concerns her marriage. The South Carolina Hebrews are right. Hasty, ill-considered marriages, especially in spite of the father's and mother's will, are always selfish, gen erally criminal, and never come to a good end. No happiness that the most perfect marriage under such circum stances could bring would ever do away with the memory of the wound the parents' heart was made to suffer the wound of ingratitude. There may have been happy runaway marriages, and it is not well to be implikable in dealing with mere acts of folly. But experience justices our accepting it as a rule that when a man proposes to elope with a girl he is a scoundrel and the consent can only be deemed the con sent of a fool. The Pension Commnisione not Limited by the Appropriation of S50,000. [Special to the News and Courier.] COLUMBIA, April 1.-An interest ing questioni has just ariseni in regard to the pension appropriation, and it shows that the pension bill is not alto gether waterproof. The attorney general was in the city yesterday, and the pension board sub mitted to himn the question whether, after the appropriation of $50,000 is ex austed, the pension board should con tinue to receive and pass on pension ap pliations. The attorney general's opinion was that the board should continue to pass pon the pension applications, approv ing and rejecting as they are doing ow, and render their decision to the co0ptroller general. Now the questioni shich arises is whether after the ap ropriation is exhausted the comiptroll r general shall continue to issue his arrants for pension money? The ap ropriation for pensions is not niade in he Pension Act, and this Act does not nstruct the comptroller general to draw is warrant for only $50,000. The at orney general has not rendered a de isioni uipon this point. Where is the Difference? [Froni the Cincinnati- Timecs-Star.] The Standard oil trust ties up oil; the ugar trust ties up sugar; the whiskey rust ties up whiskey; the .coal trust tes up coal; the copper trust ties up opper; the electrical trust ties up elec ric lights; the telegraph trust ties up) ispatches ;the linseed oil trust ties up inseed oil; the lead trust ties up lead; he envelope trust ties up envelopes; he tile trust ties up tiles; the steel trust ies up steel rails: the screw trust ties p wooden screws; thle railroad trust ies up competition; the brotherhood ties p engines and the knights tie up la br. Where is the difference in morals r law between all these trusts? Is it he difference between might and right? he people will answer this question Oei (day. They are only studying it ow. A bout eighteen years ago a pig strayed from the drove to which it belonged, and fell into a p'it, on a spot where the City of ('alumiet now stands. In rooting aout it uncovered a mass of native opper, and showed to the wvorld the oation of the greatest copper mine it as ever;known. As the result of that ig's rooting, humanity is now over 3Z500,00 richer in the use of the cop per there discovered; and the stockhold ers, who, aided by the pig, have helped the world to this great wealth, have re cedabunts:9.son00 omfor their trouble.

Children on a Battle-Fild. A wvriter, formerly a Confederate sol dier, tells in the Wide Awake a pa thetic story of two children lost on a battle field, in a sudden assault of Northern upon So,uthern troop)s along a road where the children were pass ing. They were found, after the battle, "ini an old field, whose long-neglected furrows were covered with a thick growth of yellow sedge, all wvet with melted snow and shining in the soft red rays of tile setting sun. The chil dren were in one of the moist, tangled fence-corners. Their little blue home spun frocks--for they both wore dress es-were all torn and draggled. Their chubby faces were brier-seratched and dirty. Their hare heads were matted with dry leaves and straw. But I reck on every man of us thought thl' Godl's blue sky never looked down upon a prettier picture than they made lying there, fast asleep and clasped closely in each other's arms. "The sergeant stop)ped withl a low chuckle of satisfaction. 'The little-un is asleep for sure!' he said, as he lifted him gently and turnled. The next nmo ment he staggered under his lig h t bur der and almost fell. A hoarse groan burst from his lips. The little head with its tangled mauss of curls rolled heavily to one side; the little arms hung inertly down; the sergeant's hands, where they supported the tiny nleck, were all dabled in blood. "The stray shot had done its cruel work well. It had p)lowed across the small, white throat, anld the baby's head was almost severed from the little body.al "Ten minutes before we wereal ready to toss up for the privilege of car rying those little chaps home. But;now every man of us hulig back, dumb, and i unnerved. And the sergeant and Tom turned slowly and tramped away a thogah aln saost a h lironghan the eadn shaowthe iay that waiting and theidead Woete followed ilently, with uncovered heads. "More than once that night our >ickets were chalienged from the other ide, and anxious inquiries made for he little ones. When the answer went >ack across the hush and the silence of light, we could feel, though we could iot see, the look that swept over the aces of our foes. And that look made is all akin." There's Danger in the Telephone. Chicago Tribune, Dayton, 0., Special.] Gilbert Burrows, treasurer of the ;rand operahouse in this city, and ormerly of Havlin's theatre, Cincin lati, was the victim to-day of an elec :rical shock over a telephone wire that early proved fatal. He was about to Lnswer a ring from the instrument and ook hold of the 'phone, when, with a harp cry of pain he staggered back yard, and, despite his struggles, he ould not let go of the 'phone and was eld within its electrical embrace until 2s cries brought assistance and the phone attachment was broken from its tstening. Burrows fell to the floor in im insensible condition as the result of 'eaction from the nervous shock. He s still under the care of physicians and s prostrated. He remrnebers that when ie approached the instrument a bluish ;low of flame appeared about the metal n the telephone. Investigation by the uperintendent of telephones showed hat the telephone wire was crossed vith the large incandescent light wires vhich are constantly charged. Rank Which Did Not Count. [From the St. James Gazette.] Of tuft hunting, in the modern sense )f the word, there was none. The no )leman had special places in chapel. ut this made no difference. We were dil boys together in a genuine and ionest English way. When we came )aek at the beginning of one half there ippeared at my dame's a smart boy Iressed in light blue jWket, faced with elvet, white trousers and waistcoat, vith a turned-down collar and frills. I potted himt and at on e put the ques ion: "What's your name?" and "who's our father?" He replied, "I am Charles 4tuart Vance, Viscount Seaham, and ny father is the marquis of Londonder -y." Upon receipt of this information i ticked him three times- once for Vance >nce for Seahani and once for London lerry. It is said that the flIrst work Gover 1or David B.

As they operate directly on the stomach and bowels, they indirectly affect every other organ of the body. When the stomach is out of order, the head is affected, digestion fails, the blood be comes impoverished, and you fall an easy victim to any prevalent disease. Miss M. E. Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, Pa., puts the whole truth in a nutshell, when she says : " I use no other medicine than Ayer's Pills. They are all that any one needs, and just splendid to save money in doctors' hills." Here is an instance of A Physician who lost his medicine chest, but, having at hand a bottle of Ayer's Pills, found himself fully equipped.-J. Arrison, M. D., of San Jose, Cal., writes: " Some three years ago, by the merest accident, I was forced, so to speak, to prescrib~e Ayer's Cathartic Pills for several sick men among a party of engi neers in the Sierra Nevada mountains, my medicine chest having been lost in crossing a mountain torrent. I was surprised and delighted at the action of the Pills, so much so, indeed, that I was led to a further trial of them, as well as of your Cherry Pectoral and Sarsapa rilla. I have nothing but praise to offer in their favor." John W. Brown, M. D., of Oceana, W. Va., writes: " I prescribe Ayer's Pills In my practice, and1 find them excellent. I urge their general use in families." T. E. Hastings, M.
