in the Chancery Court at Columbia, Ten

lied themselves into a company for the
purpose of erecting, building and operating
Custom and Merchant Steam Mill, Cotton
Gin and other machinery at or near the de-
pot in Columbia, said mills to be known
and styled the Columbia Depot Mills. The
design of the petitioners is to engage gener-
other grains and to sell meal and flour to
this and other markets. They ask for a
charter of incorporation, with all the pow
ers, privileges and immunities incident and
necessary to promote corporations and to
enable them to take and hold real estate, to
sue and be sued in their corporate name: to
buy and sell wheat, corn, meal, flour and
all other articles pertaining to the mill bu-
siness, and to operate in conjunction with
their said mill a Cotton Gin, or any other
machinery as an adjunct they may desire
the capital stock of said company not to
exceed two hundred thousand dollars. They
ask for a rule day as provided by statute, 10

in their petition set forth.

The news from the deluged South is
frightful indeed. The people are in a
starving condition. There are over one
hundred and fifty thousand persons actu-

Louisiana alone number $4,000. Owing
to the political disturbance in Arkansas,
nothing is being done for the relief of her

says
In consequence of continued rains and
high water, the planting of crops has been
DELAYED at least one month, but with fair
weather in the future, full crop will be
planted. Cotton and corn are now being
planted rapidly. The cotton crop will
probably be 20 per cent. lesa than for
1879, and the corn crop increased about
20 per cent. The wheat crop is about 33
per cent. greater than 1873 with prospects
of a fine yield. The damage by high wa
ter in this section has not been compare
lively great, and the greatest damage has
been the delay in planting.

Playing Poker in Washington.

A we'll known Western Railroad man,
who is now here living III Washington,
and looking after his railroads, is said
to have raised the largest hands at
poker known among gaming capitalists.
He won fifty thousand dollars from
me-" said another Western man who
told the story to correspondent, "but
[ was sick that day and had to let him
take it. He can't beat me when am
feeling WELL"
1t is very easy to corrupt public men
at the poker table, for large percent
should judge, as in the old days of
slavery. Poker has arisen with the
Northwestern domination, and the ease
with which it is learned, the reckless
chances it invites, and the rapid popu-
larity it attains in every circle, make it
an especial game for large Operators
who loiter on the threshold of politics.
Make a public man poor and replace
the money as gift, or permit him to
win and suppose he has wronged you,
and he will try to work off the obliga-
tion with a might which he almost i'm
putes righteous. These great, brawny
operators know such things, and honor
in the chief places is no barrier to their
circumventing. The table, the fine
and rapid woman, worldly talk with
brilliancy IN it's delusiveness, the con-
fdence that follows the wine cup, and
the cool study of man over five cards
when he bets beyond his measure
these are the steps by which hard mer
capture better ones. Bribery is seldom
direct, wounding the feelings or pride
of the recipient. 1t is extended like
the love which precedes ruin. II
says:
:" My friend, admire you. To SEE
you poor with your talents is a reproacl
to our country that you illustrate.
never yet met a man I could get Sc
close to. If you ever feel the wolf to-
close to the door, hope you will NO
wrong your friend by silence"
And IL is done

Women Servants for California.

The following statements are made in
a telegram from San Jose, CAL: "The
Farmers Club has received advices
from North Carolina to the effect that
an immigration from that State to Cali
fornia of young women for household
service can be secured by the formation
of aid societies, to be composed of fam
lilies desiring better help; the society to
advance the passage money, and be re-
sponsible for representations going to
induce the immigration. On the other
hand, the society is to be secured in the
matter of good character and capacity
of all women sent out under the ar
rangement. 1t appears that a strong
disposition exists in the Carolinas,
Missouri and other States, and only
waits a practical business treatment
from parties concerned on this coast
The plan, as mooted in the Farmers
Club, looks to securing faithful and
honest servant girls, and thus bettering
the condition of both hirer and hired
furnishing the former better service
and the latter better wages for equal
labor. This matter is in the hands of
the Emigration Committee, who, if en-
couraged by responsible citizens, may
be able to work out grand scheme"

Starvation vs.. "The Ruling PassiOn.''

An observer among the English fac
tory girls describes their dinner hour
amusingly The crowds had assem-
bled outside of a certain cheap cook
shop in the.half hour allowed for din
ner. Among the girls was one ragged,
scantily clothed child of about fourteen.
She stood for long time wistfully be-
fore the cook shop window. All the
others had gone, and this forlorn OBJ
ject still stood there rattling few half
pence in her hand. Finally, with a
longing look at the luscious display, she
paused for last sniff at the open door,
and then dashed off down the street.
The observer followed, thinking that
she was seeking cheaper cook shop,
and pitying her, But she stopped at a
store where second hand fnery was for
sale, entered, and in few moments re-
turned with somewhat faded but still
gorgeous bunch of artificial flowers,
consisting OF q rose full blown, poppy
or two and fair sprinkling of wheat
With glow of triumph on her wizened
face, she cast an eager glance to the
right and left, and spying close at hand
the secluded gateway of timber yard,
darted across the road, and crouching
in a corner, was soon busy with her bat
tered old hat on her knees retrimming

Funeral Dead Beats.

OF all the Objectionable social char
acters to be found in all cities, deliver
us from the funeral dead-beat. The
term may seem little harsh, but is
deserved. Notice the funeral of
some prominent person. There the
clan is present in full force. They go
early and look solemn, and crowd into
the parlor, taking prominent positions,
and obliging the friends of the family
to sit in the hall or stand up. They
view the remains of the one most dear
to many in the room, and convention
ally remark: "How natural or,
"What beautiful corpse" During
the sermon they affect to be deep y
moved, and bury their faces in their
handkerchiefs. AT the conclusion OF
the ceremony they crowd forward and
manage to fill the carrirges in waiting,
to the exclusion of genuine mourners
and friends of the family, anxious to
attend the remains to the grave, there
to pay the last tribute of respect to
mourned friend. Once on the way, they
show the real object in attending the
funeral, to obtain a pleasant drive
through the suburbs without any ex
pense to themselves.
They chat and talk, gaily discus
Mrs. Grundy's last bonnet, casual.
mention the new pastor, and curdls thu
blood of their hearers by announclns
in melodramic whisper that "th
Browns have sold their piano" or tina
"the Smiths are eating in the kitch
en-" Through all the journey they tall
of everything or anything foreign t.
the mission they are on. Once at tn
cemetery they again look solemn, an
allow their chins to drop on thei
breast, and offer their cold, unfeelin
and distasteful consolation to th
grief-stricken family. And then th
brisk drive back to the city is so plea
ant, and it is so nice to be driven up
our own door with flourish it make
the neighbors talk. In many cases I'll
funeral dead-beat has not even a casu
acquaintance with the deceased or tt
bereaved family. Their mock soler
nifty and disagreeable forwardne
serve only to disgust the intelligel
people present, and only serve to pla
upon them the ban that will serve t

Often and often we think we have
found another keynote when we
haven't. Most people are noted in
such obscure tones that it don't pay to
hunt them out. The best way is to let
Old Time ring the changes for 'em !;
he'll find 'em all between christening
and knell Z; they are sure to respond
sooner or later. AS for us, we can't
most always tell but we have one de
.facto case in hand. From our window
a workman can be seen and heard who
has of late succumbed to the power of
music, and we have discovered that the
sound to which his soul goes out
in ecstacy is the steam whistle call
to quit work. When that tone steals
out upon the quiet air with the dulcet
sweetness peculiar to forty iackass
power, this poor workman straightens
up, throws back his shoulders, fops his
ears on the sides of his head like pair
of old rubber overshoes against door
step, gives a yawn and a howl that
show him pierced to his very core by
the cheerful sound, and then speedily
goeth to his victuals. This is no fic-
ton, and can be witnessed any day by
those persons disposed to doubt that
every individual man and beast have
their especial Keynote.
