'"'.'X'. T .i .pbe jKngllrf LaasruJe. ; English men' of letters ara perpetually scolding and nagging at one another for Speaking a!ndf writjfng bad English,- or for TOnounctnglt'errohe6iisly, and the fault Hakes as do the writrs'ancl" speakers Whom they profesa to correct. And then step in, forsooth, the ' Americans, clatl 'from top' to toe in the Bhining armor of toelf onMence, and they airily ,tell us 'that wo know' not how to speak or pro Wunceour own language, and that to Snend our ways ,we should take lessons of Bostonites or the Dutch-Irish-Eng-'lish and altogether cosmopolitan people f New-York. We may needs wince a little ' under these strictures, for our withers are not by any means unwrung, "and to the ear of a foreigner who has ;made only a literary study of English if is certain that our pronunciation, or Tather our many and discordant methods "of pronunciation, must appear very il logical and very ludicrous. It is not alone clergymen who drawl the church service and mumble their sermons; it is not alone school children "who are taught to read in monotonous sing-song; it is not alone young ladies who, through affectation, lisp or mince their words, but it is the great body of English people aye, of educated Eng lish people who habitually stammer be fore they can find the right word, who rarely pronounce tneir nnai consonants, who slur and shuffle their syllables into one another, who almost invariably put 'the wrong emphasis on the chief mem hers of a phrase, and who, if they do not absolutely chew and swallow the ends of 'their vocables, as the modern Greeks do, "utter thorn in such a disjointed, and slip nhod fashion as to make therd more than half unintelligible to tke foreign ear. This is why it may be quite feasible for a Frenchman to live seventeen years in England without being able to under stand English. London Telegraph. A Marina Hero. Among the inmates of the National Soldiers' home at Togus, Me., is Richard Rowley, who was captain of the guns on the Kearsarge when she sunk the Ala bama off the harbor of Cherbourg, France, and performed an act of "Bravery which probably saved his ship and her crew. The battle had raged for over' an hour and a half, when a 100 pound rifle shell from the Alabama struck the gun which Rowley was sighting and fell on the deck, with the fuse still burning. In an instant Rowley picked it up and threw it into the sea, where it exploded just as it touched the water. The sailor's beard and mustache were burned off by the fuse, but ho stepped back to his gun and Bent a shot into the sinking Alabama. Capt Winslow at once gave the order to man the rigging and give three cheers for Quartermaster Rowley. The latter was greatly lionized after his return to this country. Congress voted him a gold medal; he received other valuable gifts, and President Lincoln personally thanked him. For several days before his inter view with the president, Rowley had ac cepted, frequent invitations to drink champagne, and probably showed the effects. As he arose to go Mr. Lincoln gave him a hundred dollars, saying: "Now don't drink too much liquor; drink just a little, but not too much. I know you old sailors all like a little grog, but be careful and not drink too much." There la a Difference There was a jolly little group about a table in a down town cafe last night 'shaking dice for the lemonade. The man who threw the lowest number had to pay for the lemonade and tell a story. All at the table had been "stuck" but one gentleman who is noted for his keenness of repartee. The gentlemen who had been "stuck" told nothing but anecdotes and antique tales. Not a new story had been recited; and they were all chest nuts. "When the gentleman noted for rep artee had been "stuck" there was ap plause, a call for drinks and a demand for a "new story. "I can tell a story," said the gentleman, as he ordered the proper thing, "bat IT1 ask you a conun drum: "Go ahead," he was told. "Well," he went on, "what is the differ ence between a turkey and a man?" This odd conundrum floored the crowd. The questioner was appealed to for jan answer. "The difference between a' turkey and a man," he explained, as he rose to leave, "is that a turkey lent stuffed with chestnuts until it's dead." The crowd, comprehended. Cincinnati Commercial. Chinese Progress. It is not easy to determine whether we should rejoice at Chinese progress or regret it, for the waking up of the vast , Mongolian masses means the precipita tion of an overplus upon the Aryan world that we do not yet know how to deal with. However, it is certain that China will soon be practically a modern state. The conservative element is ef fectually overcome and railway con struction has been entered on as a nation al policy. Peking is at once to be joined to Tien Tsin by a road passing through the most populous districts of the em pire. The radicals or reformers are at last entirely triumphant, and China will adopt every jneans for development. It will be impossible to exist on the same planet under a system . of mutual ex clusion. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Significance. -"How is business?"' was the cheerful inquiry made1 by one traveling man of another. : "First rate. How is it with you?" "Oh, I don't find fault." "That sounds veil anyhow. It means, I suppose, that you are doing well." "No, it means, simply, that I am good natured." New York News. N Miss BXlnnle A polls' Opinion. "The subject of a national flower is being discussed a great deal now, Misa fclinnie," remarked a visitor at Minne apolis to a maiden pf that city. ' What flo you think about: it?" --'"Well,"- replied Miss Minnie, "I think papa's Fancy Winter Wheat Flour rather takea the biscuit-." New York Sun. PROMPTNESS. Tirst a cold, then a cough, then t consumption, then deatlu "I took JrV0yc tier's Knglish Ue'med v for Con- - 7ivmption the moment I began to . , -cfl2ti,.ftir(l J believe it saved my life ; ' ;W-Uer N. Wallah, Washington.' Nothing Loose There. " At a side ,t.ra,ck. and water ,-tank between Greensboro and .Salisbury, the hour being about. o'clock at night, a rural boarded th ;tifiinind took his seat directly in front of hie. When the train started the conduc tor came for his fare and as he bad no ticket the official asked : "Why didn't you get a ticket at Blankville?" "Hadn't time." "Why didn't you get on there?1' "Hadn't time." "How far are you going ?" "As far as this fifty cents will take me." . "You ain't loose in the head, are you?" "Not if the court knows herself I The people of Blankville rode me on a rail and gave me ten minutes in which to'leave the town, I got out in five. That shows a level iiead, doesn't it ? I want fifty cents worth of more distance as fast I can get it." Detroit Free Press. A SAL STORV. The child coughed. The mother ran. No remedy was near. Before morning the poor little sufferer was dead. Moral: Always keep Dr. Ack er's English Remedy at hand. For sale by Dr. W. M. Fowlkes & Co. Tha Anson Comity Alliance Will Not Uuse Jute Bagging. At a recent meeting of the Anson County Farmers' Alliance a resolu tion was introduced, and passed without a dissenting voice, that no member of the Alliance would, un der any circumstances, use a pound of jute bagging, and that if possible to produce it members of the Alli ance would use cotton bagging. The trade committee of the Alliance has been notified 'by each sub-Alliance in the county of. the amount of bagging they will need and steps are being taken to have the cotton bagging here by the time it is needed. Wadesboro Intelligencer. "Oh! do tell me what you men have at your clubs," asked Miss Smarker, gushingly. "Well," said Jones, carelessly, "we have bowling, and pool, and billiards." "I don't know much about bowling or pool,'1 broke in Miss Smarker, "but bil liards is that dear, delightful game where they have kissing, isn't it?" ADVICK TO MOTHERS. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant t-o the taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind colic, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diar rhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twentv-five cents a bottle. ' ' The Patterson Cotton Mill Com pany, of Cester, Pa., have arranged to move their plant South and lo cate it at Rock Hill, S. C. In their decision to move the owners say that they find it necessary to keep up in the race of competition to get nearer the cotton fields. Charlotte Heraocrat. .. A Sound Legal Opinion. FA Bainbridge, Munday Esq., County Attorney, Clay Co., Texas, says : "Have used hdectric iSitters with most happy results. My brother also was very low with Malarial Fever and Jaundice, but was. cured by timely use of this medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters saved his life." Mr. T). I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: 'He positively believes he would have died, had it not been for Electric Bitters. This great remedy will ward off, as well as cure all malarial diseases, and for all kidney, liver and stomach disorders stands unequalled. Price 50c and $1 at Dr. W. M. Fowlkes & Co.'s drug store.

I Sixty Mules and Horses Burned. Richmond, Va., August 1. About 12:30 this morning, a storm "broke over the city, during which the city railway stables, located just without the city limits, in the west end, weie struck by lightning. The buildings took fire. The flames spread rapidly, and before aid arrived, the entire structure was consumed, and "sixty mules and horses were burned up. Seven street cars were lso destroy ed.
