erots. Gray ones denote quickness of
temper and desire for novelty. Hazel
belong to shrewd natures, and such as
delight in intercourse with friends.
Clear blue eyes are associated with a
love of change and progress. A mixed
or indeterminate color of eve NAV be
taken as evidence that the individual
is poor judge of shades and hues, if
not quite color-blind. The organic
cause of black eyes is that the sclerotic
membrane or outer covering is most
tensely drawn This may be, and has
been, demonstrated on the eye of a
newly killed OK, which is rendered black
by Tightening this membrane. Black
eyes are universal among the natives of
hot climates blue and gray are found
in cold and temperate regions, where
the blood of various races has mingled
by intermarriage The result of such
mixture is that relaxation of the sys-
tenn which produces the blue eye and
light colored hair. intellectually the
effect is to produce progressive nations;
and, as rule, blue-eyed people are
more disposed to change, progress and
intercourse than those with black eyes.

HUSBANDS, if you wish to preserve
the happy, smiling face you thought so
beautiful at the marriage altar, from
wrinkles and premature age, do not fail
to clean your feet before coming into the
house; put your boets in the proper
place instead of leaving them in the
middle of the floor; hang your coat
away instead of throwing it off on a
chair, and place your hat on the rack
instead of tossing it on the tete ol
table.

Must give Cain and GJervey some
more and old Ford fifty dollars.
Friday, January 24.-Paid Car,
dozo five thousand dollars to day.
He ought to feel good.
Tuesday, January 28.-Settled
bills of Mr.. Stanley, Pagan Bros. and
others. Taylor sent some liquor, for
which I suppose he must receive
pay certificates. Am sick of this
liquor business. Must give Cardoz3
five thousand dollars more as soon as
possible. Ten per cent gets him
every. time. That is better than to
let 1t remain idle in the State Treas
nry. Agreed with Jones that Hur-
ley should have two thousand five
hundred dollars.
Thursday, January 3O.-Neagle
has beaten us all through, and I am
still afraid of him. He is a perfect
nightmare to us. Jones gave Tim
cheok for two thousand five hun
dred dollars to day. l think that is
enough for Tim. He is another
sharper.

They are all damned set of wolves

Saturday, February IL think
Jones could stand little more skin
ming, but have been already peeled.
DON'T want any revenge. Jones
agrees 70 give Neagle ten thousand
dollars more, that is, each of us to
pay him five thousand dollars. |
suppose we will bave to give it to
the voracious wretch-I am sick.
Monday, February 3.-Felt sick
about Neagle all day. Can't get it
off my mind. Dropped in to see
Neagle and asked him to make some
sort of appropriation and relieve us.
He is terrible ogre, and regular
sucker and scare-crow. Hurley
looks daggers at me since, he was
paid 80 much. The President and
Speaker came to see me this evening
and wanted some certificates made
out.

Cardozo.
Thursday, February 20, 1873
Told LeGrand to send for a piano for
Mckinney. He thought it was mu-
sical qualification. Holcombe wants
some money, so does Ransier. Have
already done well by Ransier, but
will take care of his notes.
Friday, February 21,s 1s73.-The
Senators are mad because I helped
Mcintyre to s5,oOOStor his Colleton
Gazette.
, Saturday, February %, 1873
They are striking for more money.
Owens, Nash, Gillard are after me
with a sharp stick. -: :Swails, waits lie
to do something for Dr.. Moore. That
is passing strange. The idea of Pat
terson's brother in-law wanting q
pay certificate is something delight
fully funny.
Monday, February "a, 1879
Owens called and requested me to
draw pay certificates for sundry par>
ties. The President refused to sign

he was fright. Told CardarelIi 1

Charlie Green and Sperry, of the
House, came for money. Sperry
said ne was in distress and had lost
everything he ever had. That is
good, considering he never had any
thing. Promised to help item.
Tuesday, February IS, 1873
Very heavy demands were made on
me this morning by Tim Hurley and
others. If Tim could only get cer~
tifcate tor Legislative expenses it
would throw him on Cardozo. Whit
tcmoro told ne number of friends
were getting up something to sur
prise me. Owens is probably head
in this affair. Ordered a big oyster
supper at which wclo preset, Nash,
Cardozo, Gaillard, Mcintyre, Owens,
Jones, Cerk Of the uousc, and 9th
erS. 1t was jolly affair, but no
presentation.
Wednesday, February 26, 1878 -
This is the day for the ADJOURNMENT
sine die. What a relief. Lave
drawn up nearly all my certificates.
The President of the Senate refuses
10 do anything for Hurley. Saw
Cardozo and he promised to LAY $1O,-
600 of Bcuedicl's certificates. Was
compelled to ward off q good many
Senators. The session to day lasted
till midnight. Drew check for j.
II. White tor 500. The President
# the-Senate was puzzled how to act
so as to preserve peace in the family.
After finishing business had a grand
supper fur nished by Pvllock. Pres
ent-Leutenant Governor, Judge
Wright, Senators Nash, Jcrvey, Cain,
Mcintyre, Lee, Hayne, Clinton,
Owens and others.
Saturday March 20, 1873,-Made
a trade with Hoge, giving him the
Republican Printing Company's bill
for $1,000 and taking $500 for it. 1t

chat with him. lie is a good fellow

reconciliation (Which was effected in
a very'nice way. Jones and 7 called
on Governor Moses and spoke to him
'.about efecting settlement. 1t was
hard day for Sunday, and I trust
God will forgive us for our actions,
as We could not help it.
Monday, January 13, 1s73-After
breakfast went over to Benedict's
and made further arrangements re-
lative to printing affairs. Ordered
him to-make out two checks for our
salaries as President and Treasurer
of the company-$1O,00O to Jones
and $4,000 to myself. (This was
small pay for two years services.)-
Also check for $4,000 for Cardozo.
He did so, and gave each a check for
$4,000. Ipaid $4,000 to Cardozo.
Visited Berry's with Cam and asked
him to let Cain have what lie wanted.
Wednesday, January Is, 1873
Received three boxes of champagne
from Cooper & Taylor; also one bas,
ket. Ordered some cigars, also.-
Nash called early this morning.
Well, we will have to take care Of

for Rausier for five hundred dollars;
Ilolcombe two hundred and fifty
dollars; uollingshcad one hundred

Johnetcn five hundred dollars. This
hus been day OF much excitement
to me.
Thursday, January 16.-Cardozo
gave us check for ole hundred thous
and dollars. l propose to give Car"
l.. Il. -
this. That will be big thing for
him. If VIC had Parker we would
probably have had to pay half of it
and then not get it. Jones and self
will come out clear about thirty thous
and dollars between us, or fifteen
THOUSAND dollars each.
Friday, January II, 1973.-Drew
checks for B. F. Whittemore for five
thousand dollars; S. A. Swails for
two thousand five hundred dollars;
@. Brook banks for one hundred dol
lars; r. II. Gleaves for three hundred

basis from the wolves. l hate Nea-

Monday, Jan. 20, 1873.-Drew
a check tor Corwin for three hun
dred dollars; Mcintyre two hundred.
Had a conversation with Tim Hurley
to day. l thought we had quit him,
but he is still very pressing. Tim
has money enough, and why be should
keep our nose to the grind stone is
very strange indeed. Had a con-
sultation with Bowley, and he prom~
ised to do what we wanted. He told
me he vas willing toalet everything
else 90 by the board, if he did not
