Philadelphia Eeeoid. "While hero," said the Irar. eleriu the Transvaal, "I saw how the Boers come courting. The girl was the daughter of ray employer. The youug man dashed up to the house on horseback, wearing new clothes with an ostrich feather in his hat. He made his flno horse prance and caper before the house era he descended. Then he gave the lines to one of the Hotteutots standing near, and walked up aud down in front of the windows of the house, well knowing that the eyes of his sweetheart were peeping through the blinds at him. Then he strutted iuto the house and first shook hands with 'Tante' the mother, and said 'Gutten tug' (good day). The same he did with 'Ojoi,' tiie father, and then at Ia3t spoke to the girl and her sisters and brothers. 'Oom said ouly 'Sitze' (take a seat), and then there was complete silence which lasted until the bowl of coffee was brought in. Then each in turn spoke a few words. Oom asked how everything was at the 'huis' (home), and then we heard all about the health of each one in the family, how the cattle and the crops wuie doing. All the time we were drinking coffee. At last the suitor rose and handed his choseu bride the 'Lichergoot' confectionary), while she, blushing and laughing, accept ed. This was the critical mo- unf.ut, for if she hud refused the gift that would have ended the courtship. Now there was gayer talk, until all but the two left the room, for it was the right of the suitor to re main in the front room with her of his choice. But so that be should not stay 'too long Tante, according to custom, stepped up to the wax candle, and made a mara on it witn a needle, saying that the visit might last until the candle burnt thus far. This was the command that the most love lorn swain dare not disregard 1 SHREWD FAEIER. Iu one of the towns of Upper Michigan is the president of a railroad that is several removes from a trunk line, says the Detroit Free Press. As a horse trader he is one of the same type as David Harum, and thinks it perfectly "Christian" to get the better of the other fellow. Not long ago he sold roadster to a fa-mor near the place, receiving $175. One day the last week the farmer drop ped into the president's office and casually inquired whether or not that official really thought the horse worth the money paid for it. , - Not trying to rue a bargain, are you, oi r replied the pres ident. "That borse is worth 1500 to a man who drives as much as you do. If I needed one at all you couldn't have bought him at any figure." "Wouldn't $500 be a little sleep for him ?" "Not a bit of it. He 8 got a better pedigree than many a :20 horse; he can keep a fine gait all day and he's as gentle as a kitten. There isn't a bet ter horse in the State for road work, and don't you touch less than $500 for him." "Well, I won't." Then the farmer winked at a couple of men who had been listening and laid a paper be fore the president. ''How did this happen, i I stammered the president. "Them men o yours that ware hauiin ties across my place left the fence down, the hossgot on the track, and a freight train done the rest." "But vour claim for 845U is ridiculous. We'll contest it. But when Si grinned from ear to ear and when the two men laughed uproariously, the presidont blushiugly announced that he would have the miner adjusted in accord. in;o vifch he c. CENTRAL - HOTEL, J.

She was known to many of oar citi zens, having peddled strawber ries, greens and mule and sucb like tor many years. On the night of Oct. 27 she died. It was thought by many that she was in destitute circumstances. Since her death her household effects bring to light the aston ishing fact that the supposed pauper had simply stowed away in a tin coffee pot rusty with age $2,500 in gold. We learn in connection with this discovery that shortly af ter the civil war, she exchanged a bMiMef greenback!, foT gold; to this she has steadily added the proceeds arriving from her industry and frugality. . This demonstrates the wis dom of the old adage, "that migbtv tree from little acorn grew" the discovery of that amount of money probably is as much of a surprise to the be reaved family ot the deceased, as it will likely prove to the public at large who will noi soon for get the picture that this plod ding old woman presented on her daily rounds of t he city. No doubt, the sun has becu bid be hind the dark clouds many a blight day. Her paili was not strewn with flowers and lilies. to Talo United Work.

The person who stops to lis ten to every idle rumor, bit of trossin or slanderous taie. win lose half the valuable time ot life. It is far better to go right on and pay no attention what ever to the idle people. In most cases they are not believed by people whose good opinion is worth seeking, and the gos sip is a'deadiweight for anyone to carry. A correct life does more to rorcslanderers ot em ployment than lawsuits or shot srma. for if the character is not above reproach, tne train may be more damaging than falsehood. The busybody is a moral fiction, for the body busy no time to engage in works that brings such small returns. The most heartily ae snisnd nerson on earth is the chronic disturber of human happiness, whether in home, church or state, and so repre hensible is the calling that no one will own it; and its v most persistent followers will deny it with a vehemence worjthji'of a better cause, and condetn) it in all others. Hence' the prqpriety of ignoring all idle tales intend ed to create strife and destroy happiness and comfort. To Pmch oa ttis "End of lhe World' Qreensbsro Record.

Became Insane on tbe Snbject of Re ligion. Stateeville Landmark. Our Taylorsville correspond ent mentioned, in tbe last issue of the Landmark, that two daughters ol Mr. Sion Watts, who were employed in tbe Moore Cotton Mill, near Tay lorsville, had become demented and had to be taken home. The Landmark learns that these younr girls became insane on thesubj -et of religion. Tbey ha ) been aMetul'ng a meeting condnc'el bv a sanctirlcation profiler and had become so rought up on the subject that they decided they could pass through tire without damage- even as Shadrach, Meshach nnd Abeueneno in days ot old. I bey therefore divested themselves ol their clothing and saturated their bodies, the room and the furniture with kerosine, and were about to apply tbe match ana try tne actual experiment when they were discovered and prevented from endangering their lives. At last accounts one oi the girls was slightly improved but application has been made to send the ether to the State Hos pital. It is a pitiable case.

Then it was a Democratic paper, an advocate of Tammanv. a believ er in tbe patriotism of the South, and, otherwise, a specimen ot the better and higher journalism. Now, it is a bittej and unreason able foe ot things Democratic, a systematic seducer of the South era people, and a flagrant in stance ot newspaper recklessness ad rancor. The following extract from a San editorial of the 7th instant, famishes all necessary illustra tion : " "In "States of the otd Southern Confederacy where the animosi ties of the civil war still domi- nt political sentiment, the elections, of coarse, will express Jhese only, and in the city ot New York, anomalous usually because of its political pervenity and disregard of its own inter ests, the election may mean nothing deserving of reasonable consideration." It is difficult to believe that the Sun speaks from honest con viction in this -reference to the Southern States. No intelligent newspaper or person who is at the same time truthful could possibly entertain and announce a sentiment so preposterous. What the Sun says of the New York Democracy is intelligible enough. There is no bitterness like that which subsists between quondam partners who have quarreled. But why tbe Sun should take this tone toward the Southern States, we confess we cannot understand. Even tbe notorious violence ol the proselyte fails to cover the csstv IS years past, the Sun has so abundantly and so eloquently paid tribute to the loyalty and the Americanism of the South, ws are lost in amazement at its impudence now. I he south, however, needs no defense against the New York bun. the south, whatever else may be said or thought of it, is outspoken and straightforward. it takes refuge in no concealments or hypocrisies. What tbe South wants and intends, the South frankly proclaims. Right or wrong, the South is always can did. manly, and steadfast. The New York Sun. which has been fch every side which in Republi can to-day or Democratic to morrow, according to its sordid interest or its vain caprics the Sun is in no position to throw a stone at any reputable or decent thing. The Sun arraigns tbe South much as the cur-dog bayo the moon. i TiSHllGTOI LETTER. CorreapoiMUnaa of The Diapaleh. Washington. D. C, Nov. 13.

Saliibary Sun, 8th. As a result of advertising in matrimonial paper, probably The Matrimonial Times, and the subsequent exchange of photos and letters, a Rowan lady is to go to Minnesota to marry a izen of that State whom she has never seen Some time ago Mr. M. L. Thorn, of Buena Vista, Minn., advertised for a wife. Mrs, Goodnight, formerly Mis El- mira Blackwelder, of Watsmi- ville, this county, answered the advertisement. Soon photos were exchanged and correap m dence was kept up until recently, when Mr. ihorn sett Mrs.Uood night enough money to pay lure tor herselt and mother from sal lsbury to the railroad point nearest Buena Vista. A friend of the bride-to be was in the' city to-day arranging for the transportation of the two ladies, who expect to leave next Tuesday.

It means robust t McKinley that be depose King Hanna before the Presidential campaign opens. That will not be an easy job, as Hanna has as much justification in claiming his dearly paid for victory in Ohio as a personal vindication as Mr. McKinley has in claiming it as an rndorsemest of imper- msm oy tbe country. Imperialism run mad may be looked for in future acts of the administration, as Mr. Mc- K'nley nnd nil his cabinet have succeeded in persuading them selves into believing that the State elections were an endorse ment of imperialism by the peo ple, notwithstanding tbe anti inii'erialist victories in Nebraska, and in Maryland. The result in Ohio was not an endorsement of anything except the power of money corruptly spent. Owing to the large number of Maryland democrats engaged in business in Washington there has been unusual rejoicing at the National capital on account ot the return of that State to the democratic fold, from which it would never have strayed had there not been a bitter family row in the democratic camp. Maryland democrats tre very positive in saying that they can keep the Ste in line now that the partv is again united. Now that there is no cam paign to influence it is admitted hv members of the administra tion that the movement to cap ture Aguinaldo and his army wnicn it was officially an nounced the dnv before election could not possibly fail, has met with delays which it is feared will give Aguinaldo time enough to get away. Gen. Joe Wheeler has written that he will take his seat in tbe House during tbe coming session of Congress, but as hr has not left Manila vet, so far as known ! in Washington, and it will take between six and eight weeks for him to make the trip, he cannot he at tne opening of Congress. Constitutional experts any that should Oen. Wheeler appear in the House to take 'he oath his status would be entirely differ ent to that occupied by him when. .objection was rais-d to his .resuming bis seat in the House while holding the com mission ot a major general of volunteers, on-the ground that his acceptance of a commission in the army vacated his seat in the Houe. an objection which was sustained bv the committee of which Speaker to be Hendei. son was chairman, and whi-h would have heeen sustained by the House had not the personal popularity of Gen. Wheeler been so great that the house declined to consider the report on the plea that there was not time enough, owing to the nearness ol the end of the session. W hen Gen, Wheeler's present commit sion brigadier general of volun teers was given him he was nit a member of the House, al though he had been elected as such. Consequently no ohi-r tion win be made to hi bei sworn in as a member whenever he presents himsell, ' bat . the moment he takes tbe oath n a member of the House he will cease to be a brigadier grnenl. Secretary Gage says hi thinks the State elections were an or der to the republicans in Cong ress to pat the single go'd stendard into a law. Demo crats only hope that he will be able to convince the republican leaders in Congress to think the same way. GEJER1L ITEIS.
