COLONEL CoTHRAS's SrEEcH.-Col
Cothran made an earnest and effective
speech at the Fair grounds on Friday
last, in which he called upon the citi
zens of the County to rally to the polls
on the 3rd November, and give General
MCGOWAN o strong support. He alluded
to the prevailing apathy among oul
people resulting from defeat in past elec.
tions, and illustrated the necessity OF
one more earncst<eGort by the example
of Robert Bruce, who had drawn inspi-
ration from the success of the spider,
and crowned long series of revarses by
the glorious triumph of Bannockburn.
He called upon every true Southerner
to make one more effort to redeem q
country which, in every sense of the
word, was,ours, by electing, as its cho-
sen representative, a man who was born
in our midst was "bone of our bone,''
and who, in interest and feeling, and in
the, associations of lifetime, was en-
phatically one of us. He called upon
the women of the country to do their
duty'in the premises, to permit no lag
gard to remain at home: but, if need be,
to drive them to the polls. .'sea II.

Republican Meeting on Monday.

AsRepublican: meeting was held in

dressed by Judges Thos. J. Maekey and
S. L. Hoge, and Lieut.. Gov. Gleayes, III
support Of the regular nominees of; the
Convention. The speeches were COM
paratively moderate in tone and were
listened to by citizens of both parties.
Judge Maekey alluded to his visit here
many years ago, and paid q warm tribute
to the memory, of Marshall, Abney and
Selleck, who were his comrades in the
Mexican war; said that his position now
as member of the Republican party
involved no loss of self-respect, and in
the course of an earnest defense of its
principles, claimed for it three impor-
tant changes in the organic law of the
State: The establishment of the house
hold exemptions; the abolition of impris-
onment for debt, and the extension OF
the educational appropriation made a
labored defence of Mr.. Chamberlain's
connection with the Scott administra'
tion-asscrted the right of Northern men
to hold Office here as right which had
been won on q hundred battle fields
admitted the trnth of the charges of NAL
administration which had been made
against the Republican party of thu
State, and made in its behalf earnes
pledges of reform. The Judge is ar
able, and, at times, an eloquent speaker
but one dose of Republcanism, even il
"mild form" is enough for us, and We
did not stay to hear the speeches O

An Offer Worth Having.

The Chicago Times tells THE story of
the wooing Of two musical celebrities
husband and wife, whose disparity in,
size and appearance was SO noticeble {:
Carl Rosa and Parepa, antipodal as
they were i'll complexion, stature and
avOirdnpois, were supremely harmon
ious and .excelle emily adapted to associat-
ed enterprise. He hadnever undertaken
management until after his marriage,
and he is indebted to her, it is said, for
the inspiration. He is so modest and re-
tiring little fellow that many persons
have wondered how he could summon
courage to propose TO woman so much
larger than himself.
The manner OF his proposal is thus re-
lated. The musical twain were Ell route
to Hartford by rail seated side BY side !;
Rosa seeming to be unusually depressed.
PareLa, close observer and always,
sympathetic noticing his melancholy,
inquired the cause. He answered:
81 have been unlucky in this country.
For some reason or other | have not been
able to keep my friends in America.
With the best Of feeling and intentions,
appear to lose as rapidly as make
them. think ! have not to-day single

RUBBER OvERSuOEs FOR UORsES
Rubber overshoes for horses are a recent
invention, which promises to be boon to
the equine Inhabitants of paved cities. The
shoe is made aud lined in precisely simi-
ar manner to the articles of apparel worn
by the human race, and. in fact, presents
no points OF difference save in its shape
and It's manufacture of the best quality of
lndla-rubber. 1t is designed as a substit-
ute for the iron shoe, and. as a means of
preventing the many maladies to which
horses feet are subject. Horses suffering
with cracked or contracted hoof. and sim
liar painful hurts, it is said. are quicklv
cured by the substitution of the rubber
covering tor the unyelding metal shoe.
The elasticity of the former allows the
hooi to remain in its natural shape, while
protected from abrasion against pave
ments by the heavy rubber sole beneath.
The device IS easily removed from or put
on the hooi, and hence, while standing in
the stall or turned out to pasture. the
horse may BE- left Darefooted. In winter
time the covering serves as a protection
against Illness due to common practice OF
minsin@ salt with the ice aud snow in CITY
streets, while the roushcnci surface of the
rubber beneath serves to give the animal Il
toothoid in slippery weather. As compar-
ed with iron shoes, The cost of the rubber
ones Is about one-third more, and their
weight is some 70 per cent less. while they
are very durable. Sixteen sizes are manu-
factured, 50 that accurate fits may be OBJ
tanned.

Working for a Living.

'Ruinedi"
Ralph Iarston made the exclamation in
half incredulous and wholly surprised
tone; and no wonder! for Sidney Coster
had the day before been the richest of all
that wealthy circle of which they were the
representatives.
Yes, ruined.''
But do not understand it, Coster,"
said Harston.
Il suppose not"
Il do not-I cannot realize it," persist

Coster, declining with wave of his hand
the proftered cigar, ''No, must give up

were but the same number of cents, or be-
longed to some one else.
And he lost Il"

rupted Sidney. as his friend glanced in
quiringly at him.
And you, Sidney, what will you

is there to do!''
Work. Sidney Coster at work! He
the daintiest and most wealthy aristocrat
of US all, at work. Why the idea is pre-
posterous and absurd.'
The sneering laugh which followed
these words nettled his listener and reused
all the manhood within him.
And why shouldn't l work-Or you
either, for that matter? God intended
that all his creatures should earn their
bread. and because we have always lived
and grown in the sun of pleasure, and eat
Ell the bread Of idleness, is it any reason
why We always should. Out upon such
ideas, say! and away with this false
pride, that will permit gentleman to swim
die, lie, gamble, and steal, and not lower
himself; but aliases him to the dust If he
dares to honestly earn his living. It's al
wrong, and will not be bound by it!''
He showed by his earnest look that he
meant it, every word. HarstOn was
aghsst at such leveling ideas, and said
'Just as you please. of course, Coster.
| You are your own master. But, of course,
fyou choose to put yourself down In the
