THE SECRET OF DANCING. AN exchange
cautions young men who can't dance the
fancy dances, not to 60 to ball with a
Young lady who can, and adds the follow.
ing: If we ever have any children we shall
teach them to dance fancy dances, to the
neglect of their catechism. Not that they
will enjoy the hopping around, first on one
foot, then on the other, then on both; but
they will have good chance to hug other
folks wives and sweethearts! This is the
secret of dancing. No one would object
! but if fellow were to sit by the side OF
his,own wife even, in arballroom, and hug
her half as hard-well, wouldn't there be
remarks Guess not We speak ironical.
ly.) Talk about pic-nics, sparkling by
moonlight, sitting on the stoop Sunday
evening, stealing a kiss every time star
shoots. Chats the incest game, sleighrid
ing by the side of rcsy-cheeked girl, OF
eating happiness with golden spoon-all
these sink into insigni6cance when fancy
dancing comes on. But when fellow
don't know how, and takes to a party a
girl that does,- another fellow doing the
sweet bugging of that angelic creature
that he paid for, it's too awful! Just to
sit and see another's arm where yours
should be-and, well don't take girl to
fancy dancing party unless you know the
ropes.

FARM PRoDucrs.-In looking over the
Charleston Mercury our attention was at
tracted by an article giving an account of
farm products in and around Charleston.
Previous to the war small farms were cul-
tivated, but to no very considerable ex-
tent and chiefly for home consumption.
Since the war, however, the number of
farms and the number ofpersons engaged
in raising vegetables have greatly increas-
ed so that there is somewhat lucrative
trade carried on in this branch of business
between Charleston and the northern cities.
Some idea of it can be formed from the
fact that, on last Saturday, the New York
and Baltimore steamers took out total OF
4,577 packages, or barrels and boxes, the
value of which the Mercury estimates at
the snug little sum of s27, ,462 for one ship
ment, or s54, 1924 per week for garden pro
ducts shipped to New York and Baltimore
Irish potatoes, green peas, beans, Gu
culnbers, squashes, tomatoes, etc. We are
five to seven weeks. in advance of the
North, which, during that time, gives our
farmers q monopoly, and consequently,
highly remunerative prices. With j1dioi-
Gus management garden products cannot
fail to pay we'll. The Mercury informs US
that there are. about one hundred and fifty
small farms scattered around the main land
and islands in sight Of Charleston.

THE DRuNKARD's CURE.-Some months
AGO a gentleman took rooms at the Uni
ted States Hotel, and advertised that he
had discovered specific for the curs OF
drunkenness. He would not divulge the
secrot.of what compounds he used, but
furnished medicine at so much per bottle
He did not have :.as many applicants tor
cure as lie had expected. considering the
extent of the disease in fact the more
malignant cases did not seem anxious tor
relief They rather appeared to ENJOY
I:their malady. A few, however, placed
themselves under treatment, and some
were cared-whethe by taking the med
icine or by not taking any strong drinks,
we: are not prepared to say. One OF the
cured ones was in our office yesterday,
Land he informed US that he had faith in
| the medicine, that he had rigidly carried
out the directions of ths doctor, and now
he had not the least taste for intoxicating
drinks, whereas one year ago he was an
inebriate, and could not get along with
less than a-pint to o quart, of whisky per
kday. He informed us that he had, at
some trouble and expense, procured the
recipe for the preparation OF the medicine,
! which shc authorized us TO publish tor the
benefit of suffering humanity. 1t is as
follows: - =-.-.---- - -
Sulpbate of iron, FIVE grains pepper
mint water, eleven drachms apirlt nut
meg, onedrachm; twice a day.
[ This preparation acts as tonic and
|Istimulant, and so partially supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and pre-,
vents, that absolute physical and moral
prostration that follows sudden break
ling off from the use of stimulating drink
lit is to be taken in quantities equal to an
ordinary dram as often as the desire fol
"a dram returns. Any druggist can pre-
pare the prescription.-Louisu'lle Courier;

"A very heavy fog once visited the
State Of Massachusetts, which probably
surpassed the London fogs. Asyoung man
was sent out into field to nail on few
courses of shingles upon barn, the roof
of which was nearly finished. At about
dinner tine, continues the farmer, who is
responsible for the story, the fellow came
up, and says he, "That's an alarming long
barn of yours"
"Not very long, "said L..
"Well," says he, Give been to work all
this forenoon, and have not:got one course
laid yet"
"If that's the case," says I: "you're .
lazy fellow. S :
$50 after dinner I went out to see what
he had been about, and I'll be thundered if
he had not. .shingled. more. than a hundred
feet right out into the fog"
: What is the difference between edi-
tors and matrimonial experience? In the
former the devil cries for "copy." In the
latter the "copy cries likes the devil
fare you near-sighted, Miss ?" said
an impudent fellow to a young lady who
did not choose to notice him. eyes, at
this distance j can hardly tell whether you
are a pig or puppy"
At collection lately made at char
ity fair, young lady offered the plate to
rich man who was noted for his stingi-
ness. aI have nothing" was his curt an
swer.. '@Then take something, sir" she
replied; "you know I am begging for the
poor"
An old lady once said that her idea
ofa great man was "man who was keer-
full of his clothes, didn't drink spirits, kin
read the Bible without spelling the words,
and kin eat cold dinner on wash day to
save the wimmin folks the trouble OF cook
ing"
An Irishman being asked at the dinner
table whether he would take some apple
pie, said:
Is it houlsome Z? -
To be sure it is; why do you ask that
question?
Because, l once had an uncle that was
killed with apple plexy, and sure thought
it something of the same dish.
Josh Billing says-"When mans
dog deserts him on account of his poverty
he can't get any lower in the world-not
by land"

given at dinner in Chattanooga
