Dinrer time came, and so did Uncle
Luke. Ellen had nice dinner ready,
and her pretty face was covered with
smiles when she welcomed the honest old
man to the hospitalities Of her board
Uncle Luke seated himsel at the table.
His accustomed smile had disappeared,
and he looked rather stern.

merchant inserted his fork in the breast of

"After dinner, | will"
"Somehow in spite Of the extraordinary
preparations Ellen had made for the re
ception Of her uncle, the dinner did not
pass OFF very pleasantly. There was a
reserve on the part Of all the party, which
threw cold water on the whole affair
But it was finished at last to the relief OF
all.
"Now, uncle, come into the parlor, and
Ellen shall play you tun1 or two on her
piano." said Fred, leading the way.
"On her what !" exclaimed the old man
with start Of surprise.

ES McCracken has two reasons for
not going to the theatre; when there is
poor acting he don't want to go, and
when there is good acting, the house is so
crowded that the only part of his person
that can get glimpse of the stage is bis
nose---the very part that can't tell Hamlet
from bass viol. His reasons are good.

THE conduct Of some politicians who

tuous strain, as "a vile dreg, the root of all

CoUNTERPErT.--The Charleston Courier
learns that two or three counterfeit $40 bills
Of the Planters and Mechanics Bank have
been presented for payment at that institu-
ton recently. II Is an old counterfeit,
which first made its appearance In 1874, OF
the genuine bills, having an agricultural vig-
nette, few of Which are now in circulation.
The engraving, however, is very light and
bad, aud the paper very thin. The engray.
ing of the genuine bills Is admirable, and
the paper good. The counterfeit therefore
can be easily detected. The new issue of
ten dollar bills Of the Planters and Mschan-
les Bank has for its vignette large spread
eagle. One Of the counterfeits alluded to.

EDrroRs.-An elitor cannot step, with

expresses bis opinion fearlessly and frank
~, he Is arrogant and prosurnptuous. If
he states facts without giving anv com
ments, he dares not avow his sentiments.
If he conscientiously refuses to advt cate
claims of an individual to Office, he is ac-
cused of personal hostility. IL jackan-

tronze man who is no better jupge of

One man grumbles because the adver-
tisements engross too much room an
other complains that the paper is too large,
he can't find time to read it. Another
class finds fault because the paper is too
small. They don't get the worth of their
money I; and we believe non-paying sub
scrlbers. One wants the type so small
that microscope would be indispensable
in every family. Another threatens to
discontinue the paper unless the letters are
half an inch long. An old lady actually
offered an additional price for paper
that should be printed with such type as
are used for handbils. In fact, every sub
scriber has plan of his own for conduct

was recreation, wlren compared With that

dred and seventy two duels sixty-eight
of the combatants were killed and ninety
six wounded; in eight both combatants
fell, and in eighteen the survivors were
hanged. These statistics will enable gen.
