enterprise enough, but two women In New

Lot get freight enough TO come home Thirty
years ago the heaviest real estate operators
were women. Eleven in number were constant
visitors at the Real Estate Exchange. There
are but two OF these operators now In business;
both OF them maiden ladies. Miss st. John Is

peared at the real estate sales, when block OF
houses were up, with certified check OF $780,

her right in the eye and tell her, ooh, yes, you
remember now, it must have been in the cake
last year. She can't deny this, and you can
look triumphant. But remember, my son, IL
you siart thing of this kind you wall nave TO
keep it up. 4ho
Ii you pick up any pretty article on the
fancy tables ask the price of the same, and
when you are told, drop it from your nerveiess
fingers, and as it falls upon the 11oor exclalm
in tones of amaZement, "Well am" and
leave the audience to imagine what you are.
This never fails to please the young lady who
has charge of that table. She will mention
YOU to her friends.
Should you meet the pastor during the even
ing. say to him, if he asks whether you are
having good time, ooh. yes, feel like the
man who went down to Jericho and''-here
look very archly at the young ladies behind
the embroidery table. and proceed-"fell
among thieves"
Affect pleasant but natural and und is
:. guised horror of the tides, and designate the
worsted work as "stuff." Wonder what the
lambrequins are for, and laugh, short, explo-
sve, sardonic laugh, when the ladies tell you
If some girl has sent watefcoor OF on PAM mt
road for river, and wonder why. people are
driving along the top of the water in wagon.
Also try to spell out the name of hotel on the
elm tree in the foreground, affecting to mis-
take it for an old-fashioned swinging country
inn sign
If possible, coax the prettiest girl away from
the refreshment table and keep her promenad-
ing the room all the evening with you, while
tired old woman does her work. Talk great
deal to all the girls at all the tables, and spend
lust as little as you talk much. Your CONVEX
sation is considered vastly more valuable at a
church fair than your money.
By closely observing these rules, my son, and
carrying out the line of conduct they vaguely
suggest you will not be much annoyed by the
begging committees, for they will soon learn
20 Know you, and you will be set down as a
young man about town, and young man who
knows what's what.
You will also be set down as an ass; an emp,
ty-headed, conceited, stingy, shallow-bralned
ass.
If you want to pay the price, my son, sail in;
the article is yours.

THE AFGHAN WAR.
Serious Fighting Near Cabul.
FAILURE OF A COMBINED MOVE
MENT AGAINST THE AFGHANS.

LONDON. Dec PA Cabul despatch says
that ON Wednesday General Macpherson occu-
pied Sarkh Kotal just in time to prevent q
junction of the Kokistans with a force from
from Ghuznee. The Kokistans, who occupied
a position near Kotal, were attacked and dis
lodged, leaving six standards. The British
loss is stated at few men slightly wounded.
General Baker was to move by way of Chara-
slab to take them in the rear, while General
Massey with force was to join Macpherson by
way of the Chardeh valley for combined
movement, with the object of driving the
enemy south on Bakers command. The move
ment miscarried, the cavalry arriving at the
junction too early, and encountered Mahmoud
JAMS force, numbering ten thousand Afghan
Sepoys and tribe men. Massy's cavalry made
brilliant charge but without apparent effect
on the vast body of the enemy. The country
is most difficult, being cut up by numerous wa
ter courses. Four guns in retiring were upset,
spiked and abandoned, but were subsequently,
recovered The enemy now occupy the heights
and two or three thousand of them are armed
with Snider rifles.
They lost heavily by the cavalry charge and
artillery fire, but never moved. The British
loss is believed to be eighteen killed, including
two lieutenants and twenty-five wounded, in
Guiding one colonel. Macpherson is now at
lacking the enemy. Guides have arrived from
Luttabund, and Baker is coming from Madam.
Official accounts Of the engagement between
Gen. MaSsy's command and the force under
Mahomed Jams show that Gen. Ma ssy, while
attempting to intercept the enemy, W2s at
tackled by great numbers His cavalry, be fore
abandoning the field, overturned the guns and
made repeated charges. The guns were not
recovered until the arrival of Gen. Me-
Pherson's forces. Hen. Roberts reports that
the combination of the tribes against the Brit
ish is considerable.
