SUCCESS MAKES ENEMIES. .--Tlfey who

So prone to petty jealousy and sordid
envy is pOOrhnman nature, that whoever
becomes istinguished is sure to become
mark for the malicious spite of those
who, not deserving success themselves,
are enviOus of the merited triumph of
the more worthy. Moreover, the oppo-
sition which originates in such despi-
cable motives is sure to be of the most
unscrupulous character hesitating at
no iniquity, decending to the sElabbiest
littleness. Opposition, If it be honest
and manly, is not in itself undesirable.
The competitor In Iifefs struggles, who
is of true mettle, deprecates not oppOsi-

A MARRIED WOMAN KILLS HER FORM
Err LovER.-J. M. Scanland, in a letter
from San Francisco, dated August 9th,
to the COushatta Times, says: -..,
Our city has not been favored with
any noted "sOcial disorder Of public
criminal nature since the murder of Col.
Crittenden by Mrs. Fair more than a
year ago. A similar case of q more ag-
gravated nature occurreda a few days ago
in a village few miles distant. A man
had been cOurting and living rather
unbecOming intimacy, with D young girl
for several years, but with honorable
intentions" or with view to natrimo-
ny, as he then admitted but strange to
say, and something very unusual for a
woman to do, she changed her mind,
gave him the mitten and married another
man q few WmOnthsago, To be ereyenged.
he set his malicious tongue to work and
bOasted publicly of his intimacy, and of
his avowed Intentions of making her his
wife but for her perfdy.
This soon caused q separation between
man and wife, wherefore she waylayed
her former lover and cause of her tPoub-
les, and with her fathers shotgun filed
his head full of buck shot. He fell over
In his wagon mangled corpse and died
without a gTOan, not knowing who shot
him. She was admitted to bail in S2O.-
600, which was almost Immediately Civ
en-. The Press propose as q matter of
economy, that the case be dismissed,
rather than subject the county to te-
dious and expensive trial which is sure
to result in her acquittal, as public
opinion . is so strong in her favor that a
conviction Is almost impossible.

The following top -loftical compliment
is taken from an old manuscript of one
of our citizens, which we copy for the
benefit of some of our fancy young gem
tlemen, who think that the thicker they
pile up the agony, the more they will de-
light the ladies. As for Gd RGuseGnl they
know nothing about it.
"Such is my appreciation of woman
kind, that were to attempt to pay what
conceive to be a just tribute to their
lOyeliness and worth, would be accu-
sed by vulgar men of using the language
of gross flattery. will, therefore, re-
frain from anything like compliment to

man questions the fact that the ladies Of

and beautiful women on this fair earth.

Venus-de- -Medici and other sketches of

here with bOldness enough to undertake
the task-should his delineatiOns be but
half true to nature, with such models
before him, he would form a picture of
lOveliness SO paramount to all, as to defy
compa risOn. But as well might an artist

in spirit of f1attery, / even gainsay the
assertion that woman is literally an
angel, but that man has heart as cold
as an icicle, and a dwarfed and Gallous
soul, who WOuld deny her those attri-

beings called angels. An aimiable and

ROMANCE AT A WATERING PLACE.
A correspondent of the Boston Travel
ller, at Newport, overheard the follow
ing conversation:
"No, Harry, dear, we must part.
think it is awful cruel of pa, but you
know he never encouraged you, He
says you are nice enough, but that a
young man nowadays must be able to
support wife in the style to which she
has been accustomed, and that you
know you could not do, dear. So / must
give you up. That Gus. Evans / fairly
hate, with his little swapping eyes and
his bristly ugly little mOustache-ugh!
but he has a lovely phetOn, which is all
at my service, and q diamond big as q
walnut on his shirt bosom, and pa saws
he has lots of money, and owns real es-
tate and railroad stocks, and | don't
know what else, and he says must be
civil to him and marry him if he asks
me; and / know he win, for the other
night he got right to the point and was
just ready to ask the all important uues-
ton, when pa dropped in to look for his
paper, and that ended it for time"
"But don't you love me 2" the young
manly fellow at her side, asked, with a
twinge and tremOr in his voice "you
know you have given me cause fOH
thinking so, and hoping"
"Why, yes, of course do! How silly
Love yOu! you know I love you, and il
| is really too bad that I can't have my
way, and marry you instead of Gus. Pa
might support us as well as not, but he
won't, and you know I never can exist
without the comforts Ihave always had,
must have my dresses and my dia-
mOnds, my horses and my parties, and
move in the, same circle of society as
do now, and those things You know you
never could give me. No, Harry, dear.

we should part, and you won't try to see
me, much, will you, till after Pm mar
ried Z" -
"Vexed Oh, no! not at you. But let
us go in, and then I'll say goodbye to
yon and my hopes together"
His voice was hard, and strOye to be
cool and une0lcerned, but it trembled q
little, and his face was very white as
they passed me. But her smile was as
sweet and self satisfied, and her eye as
clear, as though she had.not wrecked a
young mans happiness and thrown him
aside for o brainless jumping jack with
money, and as though her life was not
to be avapid, tiTesome Ground of fashion

Parting

We clasp our hands we turn and go
Our footsteps eehoing years between;
We meet again we hardly know
These ghosts of loved ones long unseen.
We clasp oar hands we turn and go,
Far travellers with strange hours and years
The face, the form, the voice we know,
They come not back from time and tears
We clasp our hands in loving trust;
< We send our voices Ger the wave,
No hand can reach IB-from the dust,
No voice can find us-in the grave.

Our State exchanges appear to be well
satisfied with the fusion ticket rs agreed
upon, although some of them would
have much preferred Mr.. Penn at the
head of the same. AS between this gen
tleman and Col. McEnery we can see
but little difference. So far as the p0-
litical position of Col. McEnery is con-
cerned, We are satisfied with it, and we
| not as liberal and extended as any one
| who could have been selected. His early
| nomination by the Democrats and Re-
formers of course placed him in a posi-
ton opposed to the Liberal ticket which
was brought out afterwards, but from

natl movement and his political course
| heretofore; we can't see what better ma
terial than he can be found in the Lib
eral party, which is intended as CO.
| operative party of good purposes, honest
aims and liberal views.
Had the four tickets remained in the
field the fight would have unUueStiOna-
bly, been between Penn and Pinchback
but the fusion of both of these parties
now leaves fair and open contest be-
tween McEnery and Kellogg. Now
leaving the presidential contest out OF
the question, and coming down to mat.
ters that appertain STRICTLY to State in
terests, can any voter, white or cOlOred
urge any reason for refusing to support

the affairs of the State, and Just dealina

the State, both white and cOlored, ask

even the down on the fruit was present
