The commissioner shall sell the liquor to “permit holders” in the different counties, charg iug them not more than 10 per cent, above the cost, this profit being thecommissioner’s salary.

How be did make the money fly I He gave me a diamond pin, my clerk got a five pound note, and the two witnesses, both sporting men, a “tenner" each. Borneo? the terms he used were decidedly horsy. For instance, he referred af fectionately to his love as a "smart little filly; little bit skittish; wants careful jockeyship, but a demon when she gets j the bit in her mouth, and yet the smart est in the field! - ’ “Look at the rare style she comes to the post!” he joyfully cried, as the lady walked up the room; and “now we're ■ under starter's orders!” as I commenced the ceremony. When 1 asked the lady if she would “take this man,” etc., and she answered in a clear voice‘‘I will,” he remarked, “Takes tne fence like a daisy,” and on putting the same question to him the answer was, “It’s 20 to 1 on I Will.” When all was over and they were hitched into double harness, he flung his arms around her and kissed her im pulsively; then turning to us all as wo stood smiling he sententiously re marked, “Battling good finish." As my jockey friend left the room and en tered the carriage he whispered, "Back my mount for the Chester cup next week.” I did—it won.—A Register in London Tit-Bits. History of an African Boat. A little vessel having a remarkable history has plied for years on Lake Tan ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog ress in that region from slavery toward civilization. The boat, known as the Calutuish, was originally a huge tree trunk, cut down by the axes of the na tives with enormous labor, and then with ax and adz and fire molded into shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex cellent sea vessels, though in their lines they suggest rather a clumsy hippopota mus than a swan. On one of her voyages, after she had served as a trading canoe for two years, she entered the port of Ujiji, where she was bought by an Mswahili slave trader. For three years she plied back and forth across the lake, bringing cargoes of wretched men, women and children to the Ujiji slave market. One day a load of slaves had just been landed, on the shore when Mr. Hore, who had recently come to Ujiji as an agent of the London , . , . j Missionary society, saw the little craft f H-the detection and punishment an(1 that ghe wa8 ju8t about what he needed for exploratory voyages around the lake. c f all parties connected with the 1 andling of liquor, including the railroads, when guilty of a iolating the law. The people of South Carolina fiitem to desire prohibition and ve suppose we must have it. The Legislature will probably lassthebill. We do not believe, 1 owever, that it can be enforced. It is too cumbe:soine and this f ict alone will afford too many loop-holes for its evasion. It i.i decidedly top heavy. COL. W. H. EVANS. Three score years and thirteen constitute a long life that few men attain and still fewer are tney that make such a life wholly of service to the world— "who, true to themselves and true to their neighbors, faith f illy discharge the higher du ties that life imposes upon them. A man of this character is an honor to his country and an ex a nple to the people among whom he moves. Such a man v as Col. Evans, whose death is announced in another column, lie was of the t; pe of the good a id useful man, the “gentleman o.' the old school.” Col. Evans’ public life belongs to Darlinjgton. It is ours to c lerish and we shall not soon f irget his devotion to duty. In e rery office of trust which he held he exhibited the capability a id honesty of his character. Le loved his people and his country;faithfully and efficient- 1\ be served them, and what n ore can be said of any man ? For the past fourteen years his d ities were those that best suit ed him.

Consecrated to the cause of peace she became known in time to every tribe as the harbinger of good will.—Chicago Post. French and German Puliteneu. In England, as the titles of nobility are limited and cannot be usurped by fictitious characters without detection, they confer a degree of consideration upon the possessor far superior to what is observed in foreign countries, where they are abundant to an extreme and where every needy adventurer can as sume them. A German baron, iu de rision, on a race course a few days since observed to a French marquis that the title of marquis was very common in France, “I," added he, “have a marquis in my kitchen.” “And I,” retorted the Frenchman, who felt insulted, “have a German baron in my stable.” This repartee was particularly happy, it being well known that German grooms are as common out of their country as are French cooks. It affords a just lesson, too, against the folly as well as rude ness of all national reflections.—Maga zine Journal. Paving with Rubber Blocks. Some new ideas have lately attracted attention in the matter of (lavements. Among these is the paving of a bridge by a German engineer with india rub ber, the result having been so satisfac tory as to induce ita application on a much larger scale, a point in its favor being that it is more durable than asphalt and not slippery. In London a section of roadway under the gate leading to the departure plat form of the St. Pancras terminus has for some time past been pared with this material, with the effect of deadening the sound made when being (lassed over on wheels, besides the comfortable elas ticity afforded to foot passengers.—New I York Sun. Value of the Shilling In lOOO. We know that in Shakespeare's day, ■ say A. D. 1600, sixpence a day was a fortune for any workingman, say the equivalent of ten pounds per annum. A century earlier, before the access to j America was open to English explorers, one of the Ardens of Warwickshire left an annuity of forty shillings per annum to a younger son, probably the poet's great-granduncle. Then if sixpence a day would now be the equivalent to twenty shillings a week, then forty shil lings per annum would equate to £130 of present values.—Notes and Queries. THE STRANGE FRIENDSHIP OF EM ERSON AND CARLYLE. Their Views Were Almost lllsuietrlrally Opposed—IMrilmllar In Temperament and Tastes—Disliked Kach Otksr us Thinkers, hut loved ss Men. The friends) .pof Goethe and Schiller, of Beaumont and Fletcher, of Irving and Panlding of Socrates and Plato, have often be> n noticed as among the friendships of literary or philosophical minds. But perhaps one of the strangest lit erary friendships was the lifelong inti macy between Emerson and Carlyle. This intimacy was not fostered by per sonal contact, for Emerson and Carlyle met each other only upon two or t.iree occasions. All their lives a wide ocean of space divided them, and a wide ocean of tastes and temperament. It would be hard to find two men who were more totally uulike. Carlyle was fierce, tu multuous, the most terrific scold in all history. Emerson was mild and benig nant as an aft.-rnoon in September. Car lyle frowned like a thunder cloud, and Emerson glowtd like a sunburst. Carlyle seemed to despair of the fn- tnre of the race and believe that the crazy old world was rattling on the down grade to destruction. Emerson was one of the most persistent optimists in all history. The past looked great to him, the present looked grand and the future looked grander. Carlyle’s style was jerky, explosive and smashed to gether like a r illroad wreck. Emerson’s style was com pact, smooth and epigram matic. Carly/e wrote long histories like “Frederick the Great" and the “French Revolution,’’ which read like a long drawn out ser vs of spasms, as if their author's pen was afflicted with the St. Vitus dance. Imerson wrote short, com pact essays, ii which every thought was packed in the mallest possible compass. The views < ’ these two men were al- mezt diametri ally opposed. Carlyle, es pecially in h’l later days, seemed to believe in an i beolnte monarchy. He ad mired the cza of Rossia. HU great his torical heroes were men who had ruled men with a hand of iron. Emerson was a firm champion of republican institu tions. Both Emerson and Carlyle were semi invalids all their lives. But Emerson’s invalidism only served to draw ont the latent sunshine of hU nature. The more he was chastened by disease the sweeter grew hU disposition. Carlyle’s invalid ism made him rage like a caged tiger. All his life long he thundered lurid de nunciations at his own stomach. Emer son wished to be known ns a lover of men; Carlyle tailed the public “mostly fooU.” Yet these two men, so dissimilar in their tastes and temperaments, main tained a lifelong friendship, and in fact Emerson and Edward Irving were about the only men of this generation that Carlyle ever spoke of with respect. “Sartor Resartus,” Carlyle’s first lengthy work and probably his master piece, was first brought out, in book form, in America by Emerson. The first words of warm appreciation that the hook rece ved came from this aide of the Atlantic. In England it was re ceived with gibes and sneers and con tempt. It was and still remains, one of the strangest books that was ever writ ten, but it U full charged with Carlyle’s volcanic and dynamic genius. Emerson was one of the first to appreciate this genins and help to find it a public. All of Carlyle's successive books as they appeared found a warm admirer in Emerson, though he must have violent ly disagreed with many of their senti ments. A perpetual correspondence was kept up between the two men. In thU corre spondence Emerson was at his best, and Carlyle never was more characteristic than in his letters to Emerson. He must have, in his inmost heart, despised the theories and thoughts expressed in Em erson's books, for his whole life was a battle against these theories and thoughts. But in spite of this radical differeuce of ideas there was something about the man he liked. Emerson must have abominat d many of the expressed opinions of Carlyle, and yet he was pow erfully impressed by Carlyle's person ality. They both hated each other as think ers, but loved each other as men. This friend- hip ought to demonstrate that the strongest attachments grow up sometimes bet .eon men of entirely di vergent tende icies of thought. Men seek their opp« sites for frieuds as they seek their op losites for wives. It is easy for one man to like and respect another man without agreeing with him. It is p> ssible, however, that if Emerson and ' Carlyle had been thrown into closer ii timacy they would not have continue! their friendship so long. Carlyle was lot an eusy man to live with, as his ov n wife discovered to her sorrow. He ! ecsme a chronic scold. He found fault with his food. He scold ed if a draft oi air blew too rudely upon his cheek. He was mad if a dog barked, a cat mewed or a hen cackled. He hated all his neighbors inversely as he loved himself. And genins as he was, his style seems to indicate that he loved himself very intensely. Emerson, on the other hand, may be written as one who loved his fellow man. Hamanity had so large a place in his universe that there was no room for self. Not a pleasant man to live with for a term of years was Thomas Carlyle. It is doubtful if the sunny temperament of Emerson conld have maintained its sun niness if brought in c'oustant contact with such a human bear.—S. Wattersun Ford in Yankee Blade. One Thing Thnt Goes to tVnstn. “One secret of the Chicago packers’ great fortunes is simple," said a resident of that city. “They don’t waste any thing. The meat, the entrails, every thing is made nse of but the squeal. They can’t cat. h that, so it is wasted.'' —Cincinnati 1 imes-Star. The Knlniest Do; of the Moon. A celebrated aerouant asserts, after patient investigation, that the ninth day of the moon is the most rainy day of the whole twenty-eight, and 4 o’clock in the afternoon the rainiest hour of the day. —Chambers’ Journal. An A.vlom Disproved. Is the whole dways equal to the sum of all its parts? A German beggar thought it doubtful. “Here I am,” he said as he looked lit himself in a pocket mirror; “here I am wearing the boots of a bank manager, the tronsers of a landed proprietor, a baron's coat and vest and a count’s hat, and in spite of it all I look like a trampl”—Exchange. The Boy Knew Tennyson. A Freshwater boy was once naked if he knew Mr. Tennyeon. “He makes poets for the queen,” said the boy. “What do yon mean?” said the inquirer. "I don't kuow what they means," said the boy, "but p’licemen often sees him walking about a-making of 'em under the stars.”—New York Tribune. ftreet FlDuei.n Whe Tear Paper. The prope nsity to tear paper into little bits is peculiar to Wall street brokers. Visitors in the Stock exchange fre quently comment on the fact that the floor of the large boardroom is thickly strewn with tiny pieces of paper. Each broker carries a small memorandum pad. and as he becomes excited he tears off a page and proceeds to convert it into the largest number of infinitesimal pieces of which his fingers arc capable. Borne uncommonly nervous brokers will destroy two or thpee pads a day in this manner. Mr. Henry Clews is a tireless paper tearer. When he is talking busi- j ness in his office his hands are restlessly reducing paper to snowflakes, which he throws into the air and watches with apparent interest as they scatter over the floor and the furniture. He prob ably tears up more paper and tears it finer than any other man in Wall street Mr. Jay Gould is also somewhat ad dicted to the habit of paper tearing, al though, like his friend Russell Bage. he folds it and twists it and plays with it - for quite awhile before destroying it. John H. Inman tears up a great deal of | paper while talking. General Samuel Thomas not only tears it np, but fre quently puts it in his month and chews it in an absentminded way. Mr. J. Pler- pont Morgan will carefully make rib bons of a sheet of note paper while medi tating upon some financial problem. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, when inter ested in conversation, will make figures, letters and fantastic characters on his pad. When he fills a page with charac ters he will tear it off, crumple it up and throw it away, and then begin on an other page.—New York Times. How a Chinaman Kills a Chicken. One might imagine that the China man who gorges himself with broiled rats and bird's nest sonp would eat any kind of meat prepared in any manner, but snch is not the case. John China man has his religious notions about such things as well as other people. Many of the almond eyed inhabitants of Chicago are not very good Buddhists. Since coming to the city they have be come apostate. But watch the orthodox Chinaman when he goes to the market for his Sunday chicken. He will not take a dead one because the probabili ties are that he fellow who killed it was not a believer in Gautama and may have chopped its head off with a hatchet. His chicken must have it head on and be very much alive. John will go to the coop and stir the feathered prisoners up with a stick. If he finds one that cackles and flutters about in a lively manner he will buy it. He has no use for a dumpish, sickly ap pearing fowl. Having made a selection he takes the chicken home alive, gets out a dirty lit tle image, kneels before it, makes some queer motions with his hands, mumbles a few words, takes from a shelf or drawer a knife with a double edged blade which is extremely sharp, and with much ceremony whacks off the head of the fowl. This done he returns to the image, and kneeling again apolo gizes for having committed such a wick ed deed and proceeds to prepare the chicken for dinner.—Chicago Tribune. Willing to Be of Service. Judge Hutchinson was called upon to marry a young couple. Julius Wolpe, aged twenty-one, and Dora Alberti, a young miss of nineteen, appeared in the county clerk’s office and procured a li cense. After securing the paper the the youug man was embarrassed aud did not know exactly what to do. The couple walked throngh the building arm in arm, and attracted the attention of a lawyer with an eye open for business. “What can I do for you?” he asked. “We want to get narried,” returned the yonng man. The lawyer led the parties before Judge Hutchinson, and without hesita tion the judge started in to tie the knot “Do you take this woman” “Yes sir,’’ broke in the young man. “Don’t be in a hurry," said the judge. “Just wait until I get throngh with the question.” Wolpe was then asked if he would take Dora for better or for worse and forever and forever, etc., and he said he would. Dora made the same promises, and the seremony was over with. “I hope you people will never want a divorce,” spoke np the lawyer as the parties were leaving, "bat if yon do, why here is my card.”—Chicago Times. Fuel on Large Ocean Steamers. Ocean steamers consnme much more fuel than the average person is aware of. Take, for an instance, the vessels of the Orient line, which make regular trips between Australia and Great Britain. The fastest steamer of that line is the Austral, whish makes the voyagt from London to Sydney in thirty-five days. During the “trip ont" she never uses less than 3,650 tons of coal, and on the return voyage often as much as 4,000 tons. She has three coaling stations, and bankers that will hold 2,750 tons without overcrowding. English-Amer- ican "liners” like the Oregon consume 830 tons of coal per day for every day between Liverpool and New York. The Sterling Castle went to China for a load of tea. She brought back a cargo of 2,200 tons of that staple Chinese com modity, but consumed 5,000 tons of coal in making the round trip from Liver pool. Immense stocks of coal are con stantly kept on hand at Bt Vincent, Madeira, Port Said, Singapore and other oriental coaling stations, there often be ing as much as 200,000 tons in store at the last named place.—London Letter. Ordering HI. Own Tomb.tone. A countryman called on a sculptor in Tilsit and ordered a tombstone in the shape of a cross, and gave full instruc tions as to the lettering and the date of the decease and promised to fetch it away himself. He failed, however, to i turn np at the day appointed, and the j sculptor wrote to remind him of his promise. The other day the man turned I up at last, but said that he wanted the date erased. On being asked his reason for the strange request the countryman answered that a gypsy woman had told I him that he would die on the day which he had ordered to be inscribed on the crass; the prophecy had not, however, I come true, and he now wanted to take away the monument, but without the date.—Deutsche Warte. THE PRINCE AT THE PLAY, Finding for the Lawyer. Sometimes the jnry returns a verdict for the lawyer, of which the following is a good instance; Mr. John Jones, a barrister of great influence and ability, was a leading counselor practicing in the Welsh circuit Upon one occasion, after a felicitous speech on behalf of his client i in a criminal case, the jury, as soon as the judge had summed up, without wait- , iug for the officer to take their verdict, , called out, "My lord, we are all for i John Jones, with coetst’’—London Tit- Bits. Women Who Work. It seems that 25 per cent, of the women of England et.ra their own living, but one would sc.ircely believe that there are nearly 85< female blacksmiths in England, whi< a, however, sounds no stranger than t ue statement that women may now be sc >n driving cabs in New York.—Chamltrc’ Journal. ThontM Hardy’s Method*. Thomas Hardy, the novelist, has been telling something abont his home and ' method of work. If he tnraa ont 8,000 words Ln a day he thinks he has done well. He nsuaily begins work between 10 and 11, and writes until luncheon.

Royal Hlghaam Attoade tke Englteh Tb.at.ra. The royal box is booked in the nmal way of business and charged to the Marlborongh house account. The price is not increased from the ordinary library tariff, and the stories told about a nomi nal price or a larger one being paid by royalty only exist in the imsgination of the papers who invent snch tarradiddles. Sometimes it happens that a box can not be got at the particular theater de cided upon. When this is the case it is put nicely to the party who has booked the royal box if they conld see their way to obliging his royal highness, and the resnlt is of coarse invariably in the af firmative. The prince, however, is very reluctant to have this done, and always wishes that the party obliging ahall be as little iuconvenieced as possible—so much so that when told that the box has been conceded he generally remarks: • Why did you disturb anybody on my account? 1 could have come here an other evening. Please see they are thanked in my name.” Iq the rare case of a refusal representation is made to his rcyal highness, and they try for a box at another theater. When he goes to a theater it is his ex pressed desire to be treated exactly the eame as one of the ordinary audience. Little displays of flowers, bouquets, satin programmes, etc., are all very nice, but the prince does not care for them, aud would much rather do with out them. Another thing which annoy* him is that he should he drawn atten tion to by the performance on his arrival of the national anthem or “God Bless the Prince of Wales.” As he said on one occasion, “Why should the amusement of every member of this audience be disturbed for my sake?” This was at the Olympia theater during the run of “Fun on the Bristol." As soon as the reyal box became occu pied everybody was astonished to see the orchestra suddenly stand up in the mid dle of the performance and begin play ing “God Bless the Prince of Wales.” Of course the whole house rose en masse, every eye was directed to the royal box and the applause was deafen ing. The prince immediately left the box and demanded an explanation. Mr. Jarritt arrived and explained that it was only the overzealousness of a too patriotic band conductor. This con cluded the incident, but it was accepted as a precedent, and the same intimated to the managers generally. This is why you often hear people say in a theater toward the close of the performance; “Why, there is the Prince of Wales over there in a box, and they never played ■God Save the Queen.' What a shame!” The prince always waits until the final emtain has descended before rising to leave. This is his invariable rule. So mnch so that he has sat out the entire harlequinade of a Drury lane panto mime. There are three or four theaters only where he ever breaks this rule. They are those houses which have no royal entrance, and here the prince an ticipates the final curtain by two or three minntes, so that his departure will not disturb the carriage traffic of the re mainder of the audience. Immediately the prince is announced to have visited a theater the booking rises, barometerlike, to a good heat. This is in reference to the booking pub lic, but beyond this when his royal highness likes a play he invariably rec ommends it to all his friends. In many other ways the prince is always think ing of the drama. When he secs a bene fit announced for some well known artist who has often ministered to his amusement, or some poor player who has fallen on bad times, he immediately puts his name down for stalls or boxes to a substantial amount.—London Morn ing.
