H65- In the Legislative proceedings of Tues
day the 9Th, we find that Mr.. Peaks introduced
bill "to authorize the town of Union to raise
money for certain purposes" What those GER
tain purposes are the report does not say, and
as wsassye never hsasApf4 4asy.nove being madc
among the citizens of the town to apply to the
Legislature for authority to raise money" we
can suppose it is q secret move of some benevo-
lent individuals to tax the people to raise money
for the purchase or support Of the Union Times"
If that is the true "inwardness' Of the bill, tho
people Of tho town can rest easy, for we assure
them we will not sell for money raised from them
in that way, nor will accept one dollar
so raised, for the support of the paper. We
thank the patriotic gentlemen who interested
themselves in behalf Of the paper, but we could
have saved them little trouble if they had
called on US and our friends before applying to
lthe Legislature for authority to raise money to
buy property Of and for private individuals, par
tio0lariy snch property as may be removed out
OF the town and County when tho owners find
another location that will be more advantageous
to them.
When we advocated the taxing of the people
to build the Spartanburg and Asheville railroad
we were assured by those who appeared to have
the management Of the whole matter that
solemn agreement had been entered into with the
4. owners Of the Spartanburg and Uaion Railroad
to be ratified by bond, as soon as the people
voted the subscription-that only pro rata char
ges would be made on freight along the line of
the latter road but we now learn that no such
agreement, was ever made, much less consumma-
ted and the people of Union are charged three
times as much as Spartanburg for freight over
that line. With that experience before us we
shall hereafter be careful how we advocate the
taxing of the.people for the building up of pub
lie Institutions run mainly for She benefit of
private individuals. We must know oil about
them, first, at any rate.

Albany News A young farmer Of Lee, Mr..
j. I. Whitsett, has twenty acres in wheat, his
"brag CROP A north Georgia man alleges it
will make twenty bushels to the acre, on an av-
erage, which will give him four hundred and
forty bushels. Carried to the mill and ground,
this will give him about eighty barrels Of -four.
Allowing for the reaction to come in the present
high price of flour, we will say it is worth ten
dollars per barrel. This will give him eight hun
dred dollars OH twenty two acres, which is o
mite better than if cotton ruled on that land.
This needs no anagraph we need say nothing
else. 1t is q right good index finger and you

The New York Express pitbily observed that
the difference between the friends of Tilden and
Hendricks in the United States and the friends
of Governor Nichols is very properly settled by
saying that Governor Tilden and his friend
preferreda commission to the consequences which
might follow Republican resistance to right,
while the people Of Louisiana undertook to face
the consequences, and were successful. The
result teaches a lesson the fruits of which come
too late for present use.

BE stieT's Spoons The True and
Original story.

A correspondent of the CinciE-
natl Commercial tells the original
story of Buffers Spoons" interest
in which has been revived by the
Generals recent correspondence
with "My dear Pitkin" and "My
dear Mr.. MacVeagh." 1t is as fol-
lows
"When General Butler thought
himself sufficiently secure in New
Orleans, he sent for his wife to join
him. In looking over the city for
a dwelling her eyes rested upon a
five residence on the corner Of st.
Charles and Julia streets, owned by
physician in the Confederate army,
and occupied by his family, consis-
ting of his wife, her invalid mother
and three or four small children.
There were plenty of vacant houses
in the city, but they were not so
convenient; besides, when they
were vacated everything that could
be removed had been carried away.
Butler wanted a thoroughly fur
nished house, so he ordered the lady
to vacate, permitting her to take
only the wardrobe of the family.
Company II of the goth Massachu-
Setts regiment was Buffers body
guard, and from this company a
squad was detailed to guard the
premises until the arrival of Mrs.
Butler. One of the men, not hav-
ing the fear Of God or General But
Ter before his eyes, but on the con-
traFy having before him the exam
piles Of those in authority, concluded
to follow them by appropriating to
himself some silver spoons. 1t was
soon discovered, and the man was
court-martialed and sent to the
Tortugas for a short term, but on
application to General Butler was
pardoned."

be beautiful than there is why a
meal sack should be beautiful, or
wheelbarrow, or coal cart. So it
seems to us that there may oe, and
that there are certain items of fur
niture which we may legitimately
excuse from the duty of pictur-
esqueness. If our carpets are less
beautiful than rugs upon bare
floors, if furnaces are less interest
ing than open fires, if the old-fash.
ionsd wash-bowl and pitcher are
more picturesque than the plum
bers' substitute, what of it? In
which direction shall we make our
sacrifices ? Toward comfort and
convenience, or towaed the pictur-
esqueness of ruder times and small
er means? We advocate comfort
and convenience, and leave others
to do as they choose. The modern
advocacy OF beauty, in connection
with all articles of furniture and
household convenience, reminds
one of the child who insists on
making play of eyerything-who
cannot take a mouthful OF food, or
do an act of service, without making
it in some way source Of amuse-
ment.
To come to the practical point, "a
home may be interesting without
being more than moderately beauti-
full, and may be more than moder-
ately beautiful without being inter
esting at all. If we rely entirely
upon furniture for the interest Of a
house if we make furniture pictur-
esque at the price of comfort and
convenience, our homes may be
made interesting in a moderate way,
provided we follow out our indi-
vidual ideas, and do not fall back
upon the conventionalisms of the
manufacturers. But the most in
teresting things in a house should
never be its furniture. Given con-
venient furniture, that shall be pic
turesque when convenient, the
question whether a home shall be
greatly interesting relates mainly to
other things-to books, pictures,
objects of art, bric-a-brac, and treas
ures Of various sorts, in fact or in
association. We can point to homes
whose furniture attracts no atten-
ton whatever, but which are alb
sorbingly interesting through the
artistic products of its members.
The more the culture and taste of
cultured and tasteful people are ex-
pressed in their homes, through va
rious modes and forms of art, the
more interesting those homes will
be and the more a guest is com
ptlled to forget furniture, except as
it answers to the highest harmonies
of the house, the better. The best
things of an interesting home are
never bought of a furniture dealer,
though the most beautiful may be.
