The tissue-paper ballot of South Carolina is
not so big or so red as bloody shirt, but if
South Carolina will fling it in the face of the
North, she may find that it will have just as
powerful an effect on the Northern temper.
The discovery of gold bearing quartz in
Wynaad, a small district of British India.
opens new field of adventure to enterpusing
miners. The climate is not inviting in that
quarter. but if gold can be had in large guam
tity every mining people is soon likely to be
represented at the diggings. .
The removal of the wholesale department
of one of the largest of the drygoods houses
to It's uptown store, which is to take place by
the first of the new year, may mark an i'm
portant change IN the localities of trade. The
same step has already been taken by another
leading house in the same line of business,
and each viii now have its retail and whole
sale departments under one roof.
The Tax Commissioners deny that they have
increased the valuations Of real estate in this
city, or that they propose to take any such
action except in cases where it is clear that
erroneous estimates have been made. Ger
tainly there is little in the condition of bust
ness generally, or in the present aspect of the
real estate market, TO justify such a course,
and valuations will doubtless remain as they
are for good while to come.
The London. Times thinks that Mr. Evarts's
remarks respecting the need of unanmity
in the Halifax Award are very weak.n
This Is the same newspaper which said of
the Halifax Commission less than a year
and a half ago that ION every point that
"comes before it for decision, the unanimous
"eonsent of oil its members is, by the terms
of the treaty, necessary before an authOnta-
tive verdict can be given"
The small reduction Of 81, $4,000 which is
to be effected in the outlay of the French
Government for the next fiscal year viii be
some relief to q nation which yields annually
5000, 900 in taxes, or about $218, 900
more than this country has TO pay. The
proposed retrenchment is not, however, TO
affect the army, which is the greatest burden.
That expensive institution is allowed an in
crease of S1,547O00, making its total cost
$99,7lS,oO0. This is paying dearly for mill
tary efficiency, but the French people seem
determined 70 have q great army, whatever
may be the expense.

DEAR EYELASHES.
BY SHERWOOD BONNER.


When Lefty Adams was IS years old,
she fell in love, as her mother and
grandmother before her had done. BY
the time she was 10, she had married
her sweetheart, and he had whisked her
as far away from her home and friends
as if he'hal been II prince on flying
horse.
Lefty had lived all her life in little
inland Massachusetts town; but Adrian
Kinball, her husband, was q young
Southern gentleman, who had home II
thousand miles from New England, on
an island off the Louisiana shore.
1t was early spring when Lefty first
saw her new home. From the SHOWS
and wild winds of the North, she came
into Il magical land of sunshine, and
sweet odors, and singing-brds. Around
the little brown house on the Northern
hill where she had played and dreamed
rs child and maiden, only the hardest
flowers would grow, though within
doors she had coaXed few delicate
plants into life. There was an oleander
in bottle, that needed rs much watch
ing as a sick baby; and in the warm cor
ners few pale gerauiums nodded at each
otherlike sleepy grandmothers. But here,
on this Hat sand island, where the sun
poured its hot rays all the twelvemonth
round, the .oleanders shot up into great
trees, and everywhere was seen the
glory of their pink and white blossoms,
while gcraniums clustered in the gar
denS thick rs llockS of resting red-birds.
Orange and lemon trees grew for the
planting, and even bananas waved their
heavy leaves in the breeze. But best of
all was the sea, tossing and sparkling
against the hard white beach, where ev-
cry evening the people drove or walked
TO watch the suns glorious setting, or
the gentle rising of the moon.
Now the people who have always liv-
ed on islands in southern seas, who
have plucked oranges and bananas at
will from their parent stem, and gath
cred roses ON Christmas Day, do not
halt appreciate these delights. But the
little lady from the North-Letty Adams
Kimball, Is she signed her>clf-brought
To them such hearty, childlike en-
;husiasm, that Adrian fell in love with
her over again, and decided that his
wife was a thousand times nicer than
hi ,wcethclr, had been; which Wa a
very satisfactory and delightful state o;

dream. 20 find out the true meaning and

TOWNSEND HARRIS, eX-Minister to
Japan, who died recently at New York,
once passed a night with cannibal
chief in the chiefs own hut, wherein
household art took the form of skulls
arranged neatly on posts and fastened
up bracketwise against the walls. In the
drowsy talk before the two passed away
into slumber, the chief gave his guest
some valuable "points" in regard to
where the best cuts were to be found in
carving the human body, and some
advice as to what he should ask to be
helped to in the case of his taking part
in cannibal banquet. "And all that
good advice was absolutely wasted, .
Mr.Harris used to say with well feigned
melancholy, when he had finished the
story: "Inever had a chance TO use iti''

Animated BarOmeters.

The Sacramento (Cal.) Bee atfirms
that while the barometers of the instru-
ment-makers have repeatedly failed in
that city this winter, Sacramento has
two natural barometers which are al
WAYS reliable. One of these is a catfish
which Henry Kainberger keeps in q
water-trough at his house. No matter
how clear the weather may be, and be-
fore the barometers have indicated a
change, this fish, always, before storm,
makes it point to swim about with his
head below the water and his tail above,
which latter he keeps Hopping until rain
commences to fall, when he goes out OF
sight until the weather changes. The
other is a couple of frogs under the floor
of the police office, which have never
yet been seen by any of the officers, but
who presago u storm several hours in
advance of the barometrical indications
by series of peculiarly discordant
croaks, and no matter how clear and
bright the night, the police officers
make it point to prepare, in the mat
ter of clothing, before going on their
beats, for storm, if the frogs are croak-
ing when the night-watch goes on duty.
And they have never yet been disappoint-
ed by the warning notes of the am
phibious animals.

The Whistler.

Frogs have their time to croak and owls to
boot, -
The patient nutist hath his time to toOt;
The fiddler fiddlcth when his work Is done,
But thou, o bore, hast no set timc-ah, none,
To whistle.
We know when Bangs will play his horn OF
brass,
And Dinglcby his flagcolct, alas!
We know when comes the dulcet flsh-horn's
tone, Nt ..
But, hangit, thou hath all times for thine own,
whistler!
When old pianos have worn out an air,
And voices crude have worn it very bare,
Thy puckcred mouth doth still emit the strain
But all Oui prayers that thou shouldst cease
are vain, ,
Long after honest folks have gone to bed,
Wearied, with toiling for their daily bread,
Then thou, o lazy, long cared, midnight bird,
Mid many imprecations still art heard
Whistling
I call thee bird-onc of the shrill voiced sort;
For Ills quite plain that music's not thy forte
Thou shouldst be fcathcred as the vulturcs
You get the feathers, I'll produce the tar,
whistler!

as Lefty turned her perplexed face from
him to the child.
"What was your mother thinking OF
to let you do such a crazy thingP" said
she, sharply. -,
"Mamma didn't know; but she said
she would give her eyes for one hundred
dollars-and there was nothing more to
eat,n Here Victor, who had not looked
for such reception, broke into loud sobs'
in which he was joined by Marie.
"There, there, little ones, don't cry"
said Lefty, the tears starting to her
own ewes. "Venus, bring plates for
the children. You shall take breakfast
with me, and then / will go with you to
see your mother"
Mrs. Lorelli had just begun to wonder
where the children were when she
heard their voices. They rushed in
talking both at once, and very fast
Behind them was a gracious vision; =
beaming, pitiful face, wreathed in gold
on hair; light young figure that cross
ed the room and held out her hand to
the wondering woman, who, looking
into the gentle eyes, read there SO sweet
an assurance of sympathy and help
that she could only weep, and kiss the
tender hand. .,.. o..e.f,.. 81.
The evil days were indeed at an end
for the Lorelli family. Lefty discovered
that Mrs. Lorelli ha avery pure French
accent, and that her wn was very bad
so she enrolled hersel as her pupil, and
was soon joined by as many as the
French lady could teach. She found,
too, use for the heaps of undercloth-
ing that had been thought indispensable
to her rousseau, and We're following,
unused, in her trunks. 1t was very
nice to give away, and Lefty could 40
this so sweetly that the most sensitive
pride could not take offense. Further
more, Lefty give a portion of her atten-
ton to Marie, and made her the neat
est little maid in all the town. Victor
was sent to school. He became a prod
igy at his books, though he was always
a dreamer, absent-minded and credu-
lous. .... F. l..-s.r '.. ,.u.'..
But the greatest good, after all, was
IT, Lefty. Her ministrations did not end
with the Lorelli family. She was like
the man in the Eastern story, whose
eyes were anointed, and he opened
them upon the treasure of the genii.
A world was revealed to Lefty, rich in
precious opportunities for doing good.
Lefty has a treasure-box. Even in
her girlhood it held a precious collec-
tion-white stones to mark happy days,
pressed flowers given by loved hands,
her grandmother's wedding-ring, her
canary birds feathers. AS the years
crept by, dearer treasures were added;
a. baby's curl, bit of christening
robe, IL husbands love-letter. But to-
day, among them all, there is none she
looks at more tenderly than little jew
el-box that holds a parcel wrapped in
silver paper, and bears on its outside
the label "Dear Eyelashes. "-Youihs

The express train from the east. due
