THE OLD FIRE-PLACE.
Br JOSEPHINE POLLARD.
What a charm there WAS io the old fire-place
With its roddy and cheerful light,
The broad hearth stone, and the ample space
And the andirons clean and bright I
There the kettles hung
And the crane was swung
Right over the blazing heap j
And within the glow,
Oo the settle low,
The traveller falls asleep.
Grandfather nods bj the chimney wide,
Grandmother sits on the other side,
The huge logs sparkle, and hiss and snap,
To please the baby in mamma's lap ;
While the older children upon the floor
The regions of fairyland explore,
*And visions of wondrous beauty trace
Ia the depths of the open fire-place.
The background lies in a soft eclipse,
Where lovers and sweethearts meet,
To tell the story with glowing lips
That lovers must oft repeat ;?
And the kettle sings
A9 it slowly swings.
And more widely the glow extends
With expanding charms,
Like embracing arms,
As the curtain of nighrdescends.
Upon the air the noise is^orne
Of roasting apples and popping corn,
With which is blended the children's mirth
As they nudge each other around the
hearth.
The love-lit circle dispels the gloom
From every nook of the living-room,
And our homes are shorn of their sweetest
grace
Missing the old-time fire-place.

Dots About San Francisco.
The people of San Francisco are
very cosmopolitan. The. many and
different styles of dressing are among
its many striking and noticeable feat?
ures. Market street is the principal
thoroughfare of the Golden City, a
stroll down which will keep one's eyes
on the gaze in looking at the cariosities
both in the various styles of dressing
and the many different kinds of people
you meet. Perhaps this lady bas on
all the finery that can be imported from
Europe ; perhaps that one only has on
ordiuary every-day 'dads 1 So it is
with the men ; some of them have
very little style and less clothes, but as
a mle the people of San Francisco
'dress to kill '
The Palace Hotel, situated on the
corner o? Market and New Montgomery
streets, is the largest in the world, lt
has fifteen hundred rooms, each of
which bas a bay window to it. The
courtyard of the Palace Hotel is mod?
eled, I guess, after those we read about
in the old country.' From New Mont?
gomery street a four horse wagon can
be driven into and around it, and then
have -all the room you want to turn
around in.
The cable street cars are among the
wonders of the world. I aro forced
to admit that the first time I saw them
? felt and thought, very much like the
poor Chinaman who, when he first saw
a cable street car, exclaimed : *No
horsy, no muly. no steamy! What
mak' um go like belly/
A Chinese funeral is a curiosity of
curiosities. The manner in which the
deceased is taken to the city of the dead
is Tattier laughable than solemn. A
gong-wagon takes the lead. Then
comes a wagoo from which little bits of
scraps of paper, upon which are written
Chinese characters or hieroglyphics, are
thrown out, which are supposed to keep
the devil out of the pathway of the de
parted. Last of the solemn procession
comes a wagon which contains a roast
pig so arranged as to stand on tts life?
less feet, and the tail of which bas a
long piece of red ribbon tied to it. The
wagon'also contains plenty of well-pre?
pared provisions which are placed upon
the grave of the dead, and which is
supposed to keep the spirit of the de?
ceased Chinamau alive until it reaches
China.
Just after a funeral the tramps of
San Francisco used to go to the grave
of the late deceased und eat up all the
'grub' from the poor Chinese spirit ;
but the Chinese have found this out,
and now watch the graves of their dead
for days.
The Davis Brothers, of San- Fran?
cisco, do an immense business. They
have three large houses, one on Market
street, one on Kearney street, and an?
other (the wholesale house) on Sutter
street. They are not only tuen of the
finest business qualities, but elegant
and courtly gentlemen.
Business is fe^fully dull and thous?
ands of men are nojr out of employ?
ment in San Francisco, and still emi?
grants are pouriug by thousands into
the State.
There are three thousand lawyers in
"Frisco." Some of them do have a
hard time. There is just as much chance
for a young lawyer to get a practice
there as there is for him to climb to
Heaven on a sun-beam.
Cape Horn, in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains in California, is a grand and
thrilling sight. I traveled two days in
the State of Nevada. It is a God-for?
saken country. Some of it is a country
"where no man lives and little dogs
bark at strangers." I was over two
days crossing the Rocky Mountains.
They are completely covered with snow.
It took four large engiues to pull four
coaches up their heights.
I spent an afternoon in Denver, Col?
orado The Tabor Theatre is the finest
in the United States. I braced my way
iuto the theatre free of charge.
There is no Sunday in San Francisco.
Theatres, saloous, and a good many
stores keep open on Sunday. It is a
day for a general frolic. The fastest
women In the world can be found in
San Francisco. Fpr fastness their re?
cord is ahead of that of Maud S.
D. B. A.
A French widow took on dreadfully
at the funeral of her husband. 'Why,
madame.' said her maid, *you bated him
so while living I do not see why you
should be so demonstrative now that he
is dead.' 'Why, Lizette. I don't hate
him half so much now as I did.'
Don't judge a man by the clothes ne
wears: God made ono and the tailor
the other. Don't judge him by his
family, for Cain belonged to a good
family. Don't judge a man by his
failure in life, for many a man fails be?
cause he is too honest to succeed.
Don't judjnre a man by thc house ho
Jives in, for the lizard and the rat often I
inhabit thc grander structure. When !
a man dies, they who survive him ask !

What Our Editors Say.
A Good Sign.
Columbia Register.
It ts a good sign to read in oar ex?
changes of mammoth porkers being
slaughtered in every section of the State
from Pickens to Horry. .
It would seem from all accounts that
our people are more in earnest than
ever iu supplying themselves with their
own meat. There is nothiog on earth
to prevent this. In a country where
the hog will grow himself in the woods,
without a morsel from human hand, it
is uonrensc to talk about its being
cheaper to buy -than to raise meet.
Surely, with so many cheap crops for
animal food to be raised in this State
for little or nothing, it is absurd to
claim that we cannot raise as good and
as cheap meat as anybody. Then, as
fo our bread crops, let it not be forgot?
ten that in 1882 we raised 28,000.000
bushels of corn, oats and wheat,
against less than 18,000,000 of the
same grains in 1880.
Is it worth while to give up so splen?
did a beginning in the right direction ?
Bread and meat is actual money ; so
much advance on band wherewith to
make another crop. It does not follow
tbe fluctuations created by speculators
wheo it. is raised for consumption on
?be farm. With a good grain crop,
ind pea and sweet potato crops, the
planter need ask no man for cheaper
meat than he may have at his own
?oor.
We warn our planting friends against
being led again into the all cotton idea
t>y high prices for the staple. Plenty of
bread and meat raised at home actually
Deans more cotton raised at the saute
:ime on a reduced cotton area.
We rejoice with our planting friends
?very time we read that somebody bas
filled a big hog or a fat beef, even
:hongh we should never smell a sausage
)f it. Stick, to it, friends, stick to it,
?nd beat 1882, if you possibly can.
3ne strong pull for another big food
jrop will save ns all. .Unfortunately
uhe years 1883 and 1884 were most un?
propitious grain years. Notwithstand?
ing (his, there is more food in the
State than there was io 1880 or 1881.
If the merchants in the State were
wise, they would offer a premium of a
thousand dollars to the farmer in the
State wno made the biggest and best
srop of' bread and meat in proportion to
bis means. General trade will never
zet fully on its feet by cotton alone,
md many of our merchants now begin
to see and realize it. When we get our
manufacturing enterprises in full opera?
tion this will become more evident than
ever.
Let our farmers and planters, then,
take courage and do their best to beat
1882 in food production. There's mil?
lions in it.
Carrying Deadly Weapons.
Lexington Dispatch.
The law against carrying concealed
deadly wenpoos, sustained by the ut?
terances of the press und the pulpit,
seem to have little effect in abating
the dangerous and inexcusable prac?
tice in this country. With many the
pocket pistol ia deemed as necessary
as the pocketknife. Those who carry
pistais say, in defense of the practice,
that ajjistol is necessary for self-de?
fense. It would be' difficult to find
any one who habitually carries a pis?
tol who would admit that he bad any
intention of using it unless attacked.
It is a~fact well worth noticing, bow
sver, that in fatal personal difficulties
those injured or killed are armed,
[o the accounts of homicides and as?
saults with deadly weapons daily re?
ported in the press it would be difficult
to find an instance where an unarmed
man was banned. Of course those
who are shot accidentally, or attacked
by ruffians made crazy by whiskey,
are excluded from this statement An
unarmed man need have no fear that he
will be shot if he should happen to get
iuto a quarrel. A great majority of the
personal difficulties which are attended
with fatal results would amount to little
or nothing if it were not for this prac?
tice of carrying concealed d*adly wea?
pons. How to put an end to the pistol
carrying practice is a problem that is
not easily solved. The laws are strin?
gent enough. The difficulty is to get
the law enforced. We fear that courts
and juries de not do their duty as
conscientiously as they should, and
public sentiment is the only power that
can compel them to do so. It seems,
therefore that it is requisite that public
sentiment be educated against the prac?
tice which ought to be made odious.
If the women would use their influence
against it they could accomplish much.
They ought to discountenance it in
every possible way, not only because it
is wrong, bot because it is the source
of much sorrow and suffering to them.
They are not participants io the bloody
encounters, but those dear to them as
their own lives are the victims of such
encounters. Let the women of the
land take a firm stand against the
pistol pocket evil, and-they will do
more lo abolish it than the law bas
done.
Camden Journal.
At the last session of the Legislature
the law in regard to the offering of re?
wards for the arrest of criminals was
so changed that it docs not now require
proof to convict before the reward is
paid. Heretofore the clause requiring
proof to convict the prisoner before the
reward was paid certainly prevented
many escaped criminals from being ar?
rested who otherwise might have been
captured. Hut few persons cared to
take the risk of arresting *a criminal
when it was known that they would
also have, to appear as prosecutor, with
proof to convict him. before the reward
would be paid. Wc believe that the
raw as it now stands is a good one.
