The Guards Return Thanks.
At a recent meeting of the Dar
lington Guards the fo lowing wa*
uauimously adopted:
We are conscious ot our inability
to return commensurate thank* lor
the invaluable assistance socoui-
teonsly and efficiently extended to
us by the ladle* who carried the
Fair for the benefit of oar corps to
such complete success, but tna*
much as we cannot remain silent in
oar gratitad-*, we > eg that our f*ir
helpers will accept oar only offer
ing—the sincere thanks of every
member ot the Darlington Guards.
And be it resolved, therefore,
1st. That in tendering oor thanks
for the generosity, the taste, the
willing assistance, the kindly sym
pathy aud eneigy which made our
entertainment such a pcriect tuc-
oess—we recognise with feelings ot
peculiar pride and pleasure the
graceful courtesies so freely be
stowed, and oar gratitude i* dou
bled in oar high appreciation of
these and of the cordial spirit which
pervaded these many act* of
thoughtful kindness.
2nd. That we will always have
the most pleasant recollections of
this oooasion, and we beg that in
this connection we may be allowed,
with respectful deference, to ex
press the hope that the Darlington
Gnards may alwsya have sooh al
lies ; and that in this renewal of
our pledges we will spare no effort
to be worth* of and to merit, a*
soldiers should, that whieh is al
ways min’s highest inspiration, nis
noblest help.
3td That a printed copy of these
Resolutions be sent to every lady
who rendered ns such assistance,
and that they be published in Thk
Darlington News.
In ooneluding these Resolution*
it gives us great pleasure to state
that the sum realised will mete
tbnn liquidate our entire indented
ue*», and that we are on •* more
pleasantly and forcibly reminded
that the Darlington Gnards cannot
get along wit boat the ladies, and
were sneha thing possible, we
would not if we eonld.

Commencement Exercises at the

fR*l*rt««i for thc^br*.] __
On the evening of the 24th nit,
a very large aud appreciative an
dieuce a*aembled to witneaa and
enjoy an exhibition given bv the
pupils of the flartsville Academy,
under the management of Mr. Ram
uei M. Clarkson. The night waa
a 1 that any one omld wish for on
such an occasion, clear and pleas
ant The stage waa moat tastily
decorated with evergreen, showing
the magic touch of the lady sa|>er-
viaors. At the appointed time for

The exercises of the evrnii g were
opened with prayer by our resident
Baptist minister, Rev. E. J. Forres

few chosen remark*, begged the
audience not to criticise bis “little
band” too severely, as tbe. had
had only a f«.w days tor prepara
tion. This request enabled all
present to enlarge, their ’‘mantie id
charity,” for all who might fall be
low their t tandard of proficiency ;
but the first appearance on the
stage dispelled all fear of failure,
and rendered apologies of any k n I
unnecessary. Tbe programme con
eisted of charades, tableaux, dia
logues, aud recitations Tbe • xhi
bition last' d fully two hours, and
the entire assembly expressed
themselves as being most delight-
folly e tertained, aud hoped tor s
repetition of the entertainment in
tbe near tutare. Mr. Clarkson has
been in oar oommauity for only a
short time and, of coarse, deserves
oommendstion for the success at
tained in tbe care and training of
his pupils. He reached s point far
beyond tbe most sangnine expec

A representative American thinker
•tely aaitl to me, that, contrasting the
wont jou of Anglo-Saxon inStitutiotu in
Bngli.iMl with those in America, the moat
impoitant raault, in hia opinion, with
which we may credit ourselves on thi*
cuniioeut is tltc facility of individual
movement from the bottom to Ute top of
the social scale. Thk k a brood, patent
fact, which underlies and krgwiy causes
that iiopeful energy which permeates
even the lower strata of society in
America, and forma a striking contrast
to the social inertia and consequent men
tal inactivity of the lower classes of Eng
land.
I think, however, that we are bound
to qualify our satisfaction on thk point
by the equally manifest fact that the
facility of descent from the top to the
bottom of the same social scale k In-
W $ « Al 1 h

v< ei e
finitely greater in America than in Eng
land. Taking our society as a whole,
tliere k comparatively little
tion of force aud culture -along family
line*. The weakening influences of
wealth and high social position on the
young have no adequate corrective. The
ruling names in llie society or politics of
one generation M-ldoin repeat themselves
in the next. Each generation has to hew
its beet close out of rough material taken
from beneath. Now, success in life
which fails to transmit as an Inheritance
force or culture or superiority of some
kind has failed in that point which
makes mccess moat of all desirable. So
ciety itself ie an immense loser where
tbe results of success end with the indi
vidual. It k a national calamity when
the grand advantages given by wealth
for attaining personal excellence are
thrown away.—George R. Parkin in The
Century.
Tha SweU of Parts.
The swell in Park does not need a ti
tle, though Ids blood must not be too re
cently mixed up with trade. He must,
aliove all otlier things, possess an agreea
ble and taking manner, sharpened by
wit and cleverness. The French laugh
■t the solemnity and stupidity of Eng
lishmen of high social pretentions, and
flail to understand bow any man can suc
ceed in society or in club life whose main
object seems to be to render himself m
disagreeable as possible to the people
whom he meets. The popularity of the
Parisian river depends almost entirely
upon his jollity of wi^my and brilliancy
talk. He invariably has some pursuit
rides skill-
some of tbe
well done.
His life is one that would Ull an
Anglo-Saxon. He breakfasts atim foe
afternoon, dines at 8 and sups at 2 in the
morning. The one pursuit in life which
engages all of hk energies k the chase for
the favor of the woman who happens to
have Paris by the ears for the moment,
and he invariably runs several establish
ments, devoting a portion of hk time
with punctilious politeness to hk wife
and children. He plays becique apd
baccarat with a nerve that would make
a Mississippi gambler blurb, and looks
$0 years old before he has passed hk 8S(h
year.—Blakely Hall's Letter.
la a Human Hair Market
Tliere k a human hair market at Mqa
Ians, in tite department of the Lower
Pyrenees. It is little known, except per
haps iu Paris, where it has a high repu
tation. Tito market is held every other
Friday. Hundreds of trafficking hair
dreason throng to tho Uttlo pluto from
far and noor to buy up the lutir of tho
ytaing pensunt rtrk. The >1< ulem u a:. lor

The Tmlllem Manx Cat
These tuiilpsa cats, by tho way, merit a
paragraph by ihemsdves. Tho listener
k not nwuro whether they raise a special
breed of these creatures in Vermont, but
would not bo surprised if they did. Ver
mont has a way of improving upon what
ever animals she imports from ahmai^
and getting up superior breeds of every
thing, from human beings down through
Morgan horses, Holstein cattle, merino
sheep and shepherd dogs to (no doubt)
tailless cats. The tailless cat La supposed
to have originated in the Isle of Man, but
if The Listener k not mistaken, he has
also heard them called Cornish cats. Tbe
two individuals just referred to are in
color something between a tortoise shell
and a maltose. One has a sort of rudi
mentary stump tail, liko a rabbit's, and
the other has not so much as the vestige
of a tail. Both have a marked resem
blance in tho hinder parts to the rabbit,
and when they run it k with a series of
bounds like a rabbit One would say
that tite Manx cat and the rabbit were at
least distantly related. They arc queer
birds, take them altogether —Boston
