= The following gem of purest ray serene
in the way of obituary rhetoric comes from the
dark, unfathomed caves of the Lexington Cdu-
casian: "Her Alice Brannin, Lena Jacobs and
Emma Ward; and her Bette Vance, whose
sister angels, pining at her absence, recently
foated down on jewelled pinions and bore her
back to her native skies; have all been known
from the great river to the sea- as spr,e-emlnent-
" lovely types of radiant young sirlhood.'

HINTS TO TRAvELERs.-"Fat Contributor"
gives the following excellent rules to be OBJ
served by railroad passengers:
Always attend to checking yourself If you
feel like swearing at the baggage master, check
yourself If you havn't trunk full of clean
clothes to check, you at least should be ade-
quate to check shirt. i,
When You vacate your seat for moment
leave plug hat in the seat. Some one will
come along and sit down on it, thereby pre-
venting your hat from being stolen.
Passengers cannot lay over for another train
without making arrangements with the con.
ductor. If man has been on q "train" for
week or 80, no conductor should allow him to
lay over for another on any account
Ladies without escort in travelling should be
very particular with whom they become &C"
quainted. They needn't be so particular with
those with whom they are unacquainted.
Keep your head and arms inside the car win-
dows, if you would keep your head and Garry
arms" a
Never talk on politics, it encourages some
"nimshl" to take vote of the passengers.
No gentleman will occupy more than one
seat at time, unless he be twins.
A gentleman should not spit tobacco juice IN
the cars where there are ladies: He can let
drive out of the car window while the train is
at station, if the platform is crowded.
Always show your ticket whenever the con-
ductor asks for it. If you get out of humor
about it, don't show it. .e =
Never smoke in car where there are ladies'
Get the conductor to turn the ladies out before
lighting your cigar. -.
Never use piofane language in the car. Go
out on the platform. Profanity is never thrown
away on a brakeman.
# you cannot sleep yourself, do not disturb
the "sleepers."
Lookout for pickpockets Pickpockets are
never in the car, you know, as you have to look
ont for them.
Provide yourself with sleeping berths before
starting. No careful man will start on jour-
ney without good supply of sleeping berths.
IN. B. Those put up in fiat bottles are the best,
as they are easily carried in the pocket.
Always be at the railroad station in good
time to take the train. Better be all hour too
early than minute too late, unless you are on
your wayto be hanged.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1872-10-24

Never allow six hours to pass without
sleeping, or at least closing the eyes, if but for
ten minutes ait time. The muscles of the
eve fatigued by the movements and the play
Of the physiognomy under the influence of
laughter, astonishment, anger, etc, require oc-
casional repose or they will retain their con-
traction and cause wrinkles.

the same one the second time"

THE DRESS OF CIVILIZED WoMEN-F do
declare that think it would be better to die
and get ont oil torment at once than to have to
rise every morning for some forty or fifty years
and box ones body up in sort of compressed
armor, hang weights TO ones hips and more
weights upon the head, which last are support
ed by the roots Of the hair put ones feet into
shoes q number too small, and not in the night
shape, and with heels like stills; and then set
about doing the whole duty of woman with a
cheerful face and spry air, for from fifteen to
seventeen mortal hours out of the twenty-four?
That there are so many women who are not
frightened into a decline at such prospect,
and that they bravely undertake to do it-nay,
more, that they even dream that under such
disadvantages they can work side by side with
unshackled man, and they do not die IN trying
to do it, certainly says much for their courage,
but very little for their common sense
A mans dress to great extent is fashioned
for comfort. He has contrivances for suspend
ing the weight of his clothes from his shoulder.
If the east wind blows he can turn up his coat
collar, button himself up snugly, slouch his
hat over his eyes, thrust his hands into his
pockets and brave the weather. But imagine
a woman removing her hat or bonnet from the
angle at which fashion says she must wear it
on account of the weather, or turning any OF
her fixtures" up to protect her neck and
throat, or buttoning up anything that was un-
buttoned before, or sticking her hands into her
pockets! She would be taken for an improper
character out on mild spree, or for an escaped
inmate of q lunatic asylum, should she endeav-
or in any impromptu arrangement OF her ma
biliments to save her health-Science of Health.

CORRESPONDENCE.
NarrOw-Gauge Railroad.

Mr. EDITOR As our railroad meeting to be
held at Grafton's on September 9th, at O'clock,
z. NJ, is at hand, allow me the use of your col
umns to stimulate those interested in the road
to attend The attention paid this road has
never been surpassed by n people in this com
munity. We have from careful estimates over
100000 capital stock subscribed, and we think
it time to organize and get ready for business.
The new uses for the road which have sprung
up along the line of the road, within twelve
months, aside from the agricultural interest, are
of great importance. We will cnumerate a few.
The iron ore of Mr.. Mast, OF Long Green, which
has lately been purchased by an iron company
of Canton, Baltimore, and cartcd at heavy cX
pcnsc over the Hartford turnpike; the ore of
Messrs. Tyson and Renshaw; chrome banks and
other interests of like manner and magnitude.
1t may be well TO give here some of the Stats
tics of the arrow-gaugc railroads OF the United
States, TO show they are not an experiment, but
fact of value worth considering There are
now Is Of them projected, amounting to 1886
miles, of which 9lS are under contract and com
plctcd. The Denver and Rio Grandc has $50
miles in successful oneration at present, the ca
pacity of which is much greater i'll proportion
of operation and expense to DrOad-gaugc rail-
roads. The Portland and Oxford railroad is be-
ing changed from five foot six inche to IL 3
foot gauge, to make it more effective.
Paul Bros. say, in communication have be-
fore me, that by the progress of invention we
reduce the per cent. of operating cost, as well
that is about equal to onehalf or more, as
instance the iron rail is reduced from 70 lbs to
the yard to 30, which at the price of SS5 per ton
for iron, would amount to So, 900 per mile. This
saving of first cost extends to every item Ga
struction, too numerous to mention here; and
when we consider the shifts resorted to to OBJ
tain capital, who could hesitate in the road we
ought to build. When we consider how large
ly not only the development of resources, the
building up of industries, the stimulus to trade
nd Inns nd ,rt and
happiness are dependent on railroads, we feel
that to cheaper their cost and place them in the
reach of every community would be the proudcst
acVof civilization. l thought so, at least, when
trudging home from market in the cold storm,
with my hard-earned money in my ragged peck
ct, scarcely enough to keep one in existence,
while trying to compete with the railroad sys-
TEN of the country. W. G.,

AcCIDENTs.-On Monday of last week Ma
jor Abr. Rutledge and Mr. William Roberts
were travelling along the road near the
Rocks of Deer Creek, in carriage drawn by
a pair of spirited colts, which the Major was
driving. When near Fishel's Pavilion one
of the clips supporting the pole broke, the
carriage whirled around, upset, throwing
both gentlemen out, and the horses becom-
ing unmanagcable broke loose from the We
hicle and ran as far as the Forge, where they
were stopped. The occupants of the car
riagc were both considerably bruised, but cs
capped without broken bones.
On Thursday evening of last week, a car
riage containing two ladies and young man.
was upset near Mr.. John Moores', on the
road from Bel Air to Thomas Run, by the
loss of one of the bolts supporting the shafts.
With the exception of the fright and painful
bruises, no injury was received by the ladies
or their escort
On Saturday evening last, Mr.. Oliver
Richardson was riding home from the fair
at st. Mary's Church, Clermont Mills, when
his horse, a fractions young animal, ran away
and falling threw Mr.. Richardson off The
rider escaped without hurt, but one of the

BEET HARD TO BEAT.-Much emulation
is excited every year, at this season, among
our farmer friends, as to who can raise the
largest vegetables; and stories are rife about
mammoth pumpkins, huge potatoes, &c.
The first challenge, in the vegetable line, this
year, comes from Mr.. James Alexander, of
Marshalrs District. He has left at our Of
flee beet which we think will be hard to
beat. 1t weighs seven pounds and measure
10 inches around the middle. If any one has
raised beet that can beat the aboYc-namcd
beet, we would like to see it.

The AMATEUR CONCERT at the Court
House on Friday night of last week, in con-
nection with the fair for Emmanuel Church,
was perfect success, and gave more general
satisfaction, we believe, than any one ever
before given in the town. The large au-
dience present testified their appreciation
of the musical treat by greeting the fair
singers with tempests Of applause and
showers of bouquets. A general wish
was expressed that the ladies would give
another such concert, and if they will do so
we can safely promise them much larger
audience, and material aid for the good OBJ
ject to which their efforts are devoted
