RUsrLE, BoYs, RUsTLE.-In few
days the grand ball will take place
at Armory Hall, for the benefit OF
the Episcopal Church, and the diff
ferent Commute 81 must bestir them
selves so that every arrangement
will be perfected for the pleasure
and convenience Of our guests.
Those having tickets to dispose OF,
should miss no opportunity in plac.
ing them where they will do the
most good. The cause is good one,
'one in which every resident of this
place should consider personal and
constitute himself committee of
one to further its interests. The
pastor of the church has done all
that any man could do, and has,
through his own exertions and the
liberality Of our citizens, erected q
beautiful and substantial church,
but 1t must be finished and the con-
tractors paid. To do this, one more
call will be made and 10 contribu-
ting, all will get the worth Of their
money in merriment and fun. An
other thing, this is leap year and
who knows but some Of the girls
may propose.

WEATHER.-At last the sunshine is
again smiling upon us and all nature
seems happier for it. The dogs are
stretching themselves in the sun; the
ROSTERS mount the fences and crow a
lusty welcome, while any number of
fellows have left the stoveside and
lean against the posts on the side
walk and say it is fine day, warm
and pleasant, but so muddy under
foot that they dare not travel further
than from one side of the block to
the other. If this warm weather con-
tinues it will not be long before the
roads will be in condition to permit
the transportation of quartz. Several
of the mills in this place have been
forced to cease operations on that
account alone, so we bid the warm
sunlight cheerful welcome.

WELL DREssED.-A woman Is
called the perfection of Gods handi,
work, but the old saying "thst beauty
unadorned is the most adorned"
has in the light of modern fashions
been proved a fallacy. 1t is neces-
sary that she should dress herself to
conform with its arbitrary dictates.
This often costs more money than
people not blessed with wealth can
afford, and the all important ques-
ton is where materials rich In ap-
pearances and substantial in texture
and quality can be purchased ~ rea-
sonable figures. The Edipus that
has solved this mystery is Weinberg
Il Co., at whose hne establishment
No. 90, South @ street, dry goods of
every style and quality can be pur-
chased at the most reasonable rates
and full satisfaction guaranteed in
every particular.

Boa Constructors ON SHIPBoARD
The Messenger du Midi" states
that a merchant vessel arrived at
Marseilles lately, laden with sugar,
from Batavia. While in the act of
unloading the workmen suddenly
left their task, and rushing up to
the deck, gasped out inarticulate
words. Among the hampers they
had found three immense boa con-
strictors. These reptiles seemed to
wake from a state of lethargy, and
advanced toward the terrified men,
who nad only just time to hoist
themselves on deck and close the
matches. The captain was, Of course,
obliged to suspend the operation of
unloading and to look for some
means of getting rid of these dan
gerous passengers. Two pigeons
were poisoned with strychnine and
dropped into the hold. They were
devoured at once, but only two of
the serpents died. The third rep
tile has not been seen again, and it
is with the greatest trouble that the
captain can get men to assist him
in unloading the ship.

on us yesterday. He informs us his
contract at the Bacon mill will be

He UNDERsTooD.-The first speak
er was sharp, that is to say he was
keen, shrewd; he was what some
people denominate hoodlum, but
we consider him far above the aver.
age. We think he will, with ordinary
care, little study and larger sphere
in which to operate, become first
class lawyer or star politician. His
companion was some years younger
and appeared quite verdant, some
what of rustic. Our city boy had
been explaining some knotty ques-

He WAS SAD.-Yes, he was sad,
anyone who looked into his face
saw the weary, tired look in his eyes,
the almost hopeless expression that
seemed settled there, could see at a
glance he was in trouble or that
some great wrong had been done
him, for he seemed wrapped In mel
ancholy; avoided his fellcwmen and
found peace alone in solitary self
communion. At that moment a
man ran against him, 80 ooh,
whoop, great g-uns!" he cried, "I'll
shoot the top Of your blasted head
of, what do you mesn?" "Another
fellow pushed me-, cried the fright
ened man. "Pushed be hanged,

he moved down the street slowly
and carefully avoiding all passing
objects, and using great efforts to
shrink himself, SO his clothes would
not fit him so uncomfortably.
