-s"Can you tell me, sir, how to find the Sher-

- My hand is not a'lemon nor my lips dear
meat as the young lady said to her escort the
other night when they parted at the door,
Why did she speak thusly?
Newspaper advertising is apermanent ad-
dition to the reputation of the goods adver-
tised, because it is permanent influence
always at work in their interest.
Grace Greenwood says men expect women
to be like Caesars wife "above reproach;" )" but
they generally take care to be as much like
Caesar themselves, as possible-terribly un-
faithful.
= 1t is now pretty certain that the South
will hold the balance of power in the next
Presidential election. The New York Herald
of mere partisan sel6shness, will learn, sooner
or later, that if they fail to give good govern
ments to the Southern States to the people will
commit the work others who promise to
become more faithful stewards of the general
welfare.
We are reminded by the st. Louis Globe
that the next Inauguration day, March 4, 1877, !,
falls on Sunday, so that the presiding officer Of
the Senate pro tenn. will be President of the
United States from Sunday midnight till
Monday at the hour that the President elect is
sworn in. This has occurred twice before,
Monroe beginning his second term Monday,
March 5, 1921, and Zachary Taylor his term
on Monday, March 5, 1S49.
A Whitehall groceryman marks the prices
of provisions on the covers OF his barrels and
casks. He had new clerk the other day who
mixed things. He got the cover of the sugar
barrel, which was labelled "9 cents a tb." upon
the lard barrel, and straightway began to sell
lard at nine cents The sudden decline in the
price attracted all the people in town, and the
clerk thought he was doing big thing, until
the proprietor returned, paid him off and told
him to emigrate to Troy, where smart people
were in demand.
A strong and sensible writer says good
sharp thing, and true one too, for boys who
use tobacco: "It has utterly ruined thousands
of boys. 1t tends to soften the bones, and it
greatly Injuries the brain, the spinal marrow,
and the whole nervous fluid. A boy who
smokes early and frequently, or in any way
uses large quantities of tobacco, is never known
to make man Of much energy, and generally
lacks muscular and physical as we'll as mental

anything in the world, to shun tobacco as a
beautiful poison"
= The cotton plant has new enemy. Its
appearance and ravages are thus described in
the Natchez Democrat Courier of the 2lst
instant: owe are informed by a gentleman
residing three miles from the city that new
enemy to the cotton plant has made its ap-
pearance on his place, being small black
snail. These may be seen in countless numbers
all over the fields, and as soon as the first two
leaves of the cotton make their appearance
above ground, these pests "go for them" and
eat them, totally destroying the stand. About
half of the crop was up and have thus been
destroyed, making it necessary to replant.
These snails work some on the young corn also,
but will not damage it much"
=. The Union Times is authority for the
statement that Gov. Moses, a short time ago,
notified county treasurer that he would be
removed The alarmed official hastened to
Columbia, and was informed by Moses that he
was doing nothing for the party, and some one
must be put in his place who would be an
efficient worker. The next day, acting on
hint which had been given him, the condemned
official went to bank and paid note of Moses
for $500 which he found there. This he show
ed to the Governor, who, changing his tune,
said instantly to the treasurer, "Go home and
attend to your duties; there's no necessity for
removing you."
