The Extravagance Of this Coast.

We asked shrewd business man
what he thought was the cause of
hard times here and everywhere
through the country. His answer,
in effect, was as follows: "Our
people do not know the first prin-
ciples in economy. We are the
most extravagant people on the face
of the earth. In San Francisco,
there are some hundreds of people
fed by charity. In the same city I,
there is food enough thrown away
daily, from the hotels, to feed these
people better than the royal families
are fed in Germany. Here, on the
Comstock, are hundreds Of young
men working for 81 per day. They
will not see that they are peculiarly
blessed; they will not say to them
selves: Il can live nicely on 81 80
per day, and if I save 81 80 a day,
in q year shall have $3.50, with
which 1 can buy quarter section Of
land, q team, seed, and years food,
and in five years be independent in
nv own home Not at all. They
will at least have one suit Of clothes
better than q wealthy New England
man weafs every day; once or twice
a week they will 60 to a theatre; they
will not think of smoking less than
two.bit cigars, and the result is they
are at the emo of December just
where they were on the first day OF
January, preceding, except that they
are a year older. And this is char
acteristic of us all. Mingled with
this extravaganza is false pride,
which causes men and women to try
to keep up an appearance before the
world which their incomes do not
justify. This is probably the cause
of more heartaches than any other
one thing in the United States, and
it is persisted in year after year when
it is apparent that it is like dying
ones whiskers, it deceives no one
but the person practicing it. We
shall do better after we have suffered
enough. No doubt the Chinese were
fast livers when they were few in
number, and the recources of their
country were ample. What we see
of them is but the 5000 years OF
want-a thrift which is hereditary.
In less degree the same thing was
apparent in all old nations. A
wealthy family in Europe lives
cheaper than many poor man in
America- A genuine New England
bred family can take the money ex-

her ready for service. Steam We
gotten up, journals and boxing
cleaned and nicely oiled, and tho
machine set in motion. Away she
went like a charm, putting like Q
quarter horse. The gentleman en-
gagged in cleaning her up was called
away for q short time, he leaving
her running in order to smooth her
up. During the work a young gen.
tleman had been standing around
taking items and admiring the SYM
metry of the donkey. To be left
alone with the rapidly revolving
wheels and Kissing steam was too
great a temptation, he wanted to see
if he could turn the steam off and
start her again. He looked around
the machine, turned the steam cocks
as natural as an old engineer, and
then took hold of the lever which is
used for turning on or shutting of
steam. He gave slight pull and
away went the machinery at double
speed almost. This frightened him
so bad that he forgot which way to
move the lever. In his excitement
he opened the valve to it's fullest
capacity and again speed was moro
than doubled. The Aywhssl began
to fairly sing, and the whole engine
.showsd IN inclination to laase tcsxs,
frma and ascend upward. This
state of things was more than. the
young engineer could stand and
away h'went up the slip and out Of
sight. As the speed Of the engine
kept increasing, the more active it
became upon its pins until it struck
a regular dance movement, and hop
ped about over the dock until To
smoke-stack severed connection and
fell to one side. BY this time the
machine was jumping foot from the
dock and travelling. around like .
thing of life. and only by = more
chance it failed to jump clear off the
dock into the river. To conclude
the performance, it made . monster
leap, and in falling turned over ON
its side, the machine still going q
tightening speed. The engineer ON
board the City Of Salem hearing the
noise came out upon the dock and
after it had kicked over, ran up and
shut off the steam. The affair WAS
again put right side up after it had
cooled of, and yesterday was being
overhauled again. It now stands
about 40 feet from where it did ON
Monday morning, but the person
who turned on the steam 10 consid-
erably further away than that

The rifle clubs of South Carolina have
found a new occupation. Hamburg mas
sacres and Ellenton riots being no longer
necessary since the overthrow of republi-
canism, they seem to be chiefly devoting
themselves to parades in honor of their
leader, Gen. NJ. c. Butler, diversified by
an occasional attack upon United States
revenue officers. In Union county, which
is sometimes called loyal Union," be-
cause of the particular efficiency oJ its
White League organizations, a party of
representatives of the government, duly
accredited and commissioned, succeeded,
after much difficulty, in arresting man
whom they prove to have been guilty OF
violating the laws. While proceeding with
him TO the Jail of the county seat, how
ever, they were set upon by IA company of
some two hundred Sons of Carolina, who
compelled them to release their prisoner
and give up the evidence of his guilt. 1t
will now be in order for Wade Hampton
to assure the country that the officers were
attempting to commit an outrage upon an
