one thing more than another that is
sapping the very foundations Of society.
it is the absence of proper parental
authority, lack of discipline, an un.
wise aud hurtful indulgence of children.
Boys and girls of tender years are now
petted and spoiled, and brought out
into society at an age when they should
not be emancipated from their pinafor,s
and from their bread and butter. Young
malapcrts, of either sex, will stare you
out Of countenance or answer you with

some Excitement.

The city of Columbia yesterday was a
little excited about a romantic marriage
that occurred two weeks sgo within its pre-
cincts. One of the county officials, whose
age is about thirty, was married to beau
tiful and accomplished young lady of if-
teen. The ceremony was performed in the
city park By magistrate, and in the pres
ence of one witness, two weeks ago. Yes
terday brother Of the bride mar
ried, and the wedding that took
place two weeks ago was first made public.
The news quickly spread, and the parties
being of the very best families, caused no
little excitement Credulity was put to its
utmost test and romance had found its he
roes. ~
The gentleman who won the fair young
lady deserves wife beautiful and gentle
as she is, and the bride, 10 c0nferring hap
piness, could have selected no worthier sub
ject than is her husband.

DEATH OF THE GHIoaeo GIANT

III, 4
| Mr.. Lars Toliefson, the NorW egian giant
died on Tuesday afternoon, at No 249
East Division street, after an illness ot
three days. The deceased was remarka.
bic for his stature, and was probably tine
tallest man on record of The present dav.
He was seven feet and nine inches in
height and weighed 375 lbs. He was born
In Hoilingsdale, Norway, in 1884, and emil
grated to America some three years ago
settling in this city, and engaging in The
saloon business at No. SO milwaukee,
avenue. y Being of such an extravaganza
altitude, he received many TEMPTING
offers from Specializing showmen to
travel and exhibit himself Mr., Bar
mum, with his accustomed enterprise
attempted to effect an engagement with him
upon the most liberal terms, but in vain
MIR. Tollefson was as singular in his disposj-
ton as In stature, and he repeatedly refused
al such generous inducements. He had
constitutional aversion to anything like max
ing parade of himself before the curions
public, and chose rather to serve out LAGER
beer at Tlominal price than pocket hand
some weekly stipend. . -
During his residence in this CITY he had
become a noted and remarkable celebrity.
His appearance upon the streets ALWAYS at
Irscted a host of gaZers, and few there
were who passed him but learned the indi-
Tidual.

WHAT A BOY KNOWS ABOUT

4
Girls aIe the most unaccountabiest things
| IN the world-except women. Like The
wicked flea, when you have them they amt
there. / can cipher clean over TO improper
| fractions, I'd the teacher saysI do it first
rate; but can't cipher out girl, proper or
improper, and you can't either. The only
rule IN arithmetic that hits their case is the
doub,e rule Of two. They are IS fGll Of old
NicE as their skin can hold, and they would
die if they couldn't torment somebody.
When they try 10 be mean they are as mean
as pusley, though they sin't as mean as
they let on, except sometimes, and then
they are good deal meaner. The only
way TO get along with a. girl when she
comes at you with her nonsense, Is TO give
her tit for tat, aEId that viii funmux her,
and when you get a girl fummuxsd she is
as nice IS new pin. E girl can sow more
wild oats in day than d boy can soy IN a
year, but girls get their Wild oats sowed after
while, which boys nevCsr do, znd then they
settle down as calm and placid as q mud
puddle. n f.-.- - ....-,.....'.,-.-.--..- !.
{ But ike girls frst-rate, and / guess the
boys all do. I don't care how Iaany tricks
they play on me--and they don't care either.
The hoitytoityest girls in the world can't
always boil over like . glass of soda By
and BY they viii get iuto the traces with
somebody they like, aud pull as steady as
any old stage horse. That is the beauty Of
them. So let them wave, say; they will
pay for it some day, sewing on buttons and
trying TO make decent man Of the feher
they have spiiced on to, and ten chances to
one If they don't get the worst of it.
