The Southern Young Man.
Cor. Detroi, Free Press.

One who has visited the principal cit
les and towns of Alabama. Georgia, South
and North Carolina must have a fair idea
of what the young men are doing. Ac-
cording to some northern writers, they
spend their time in drinking, card play
ing, horse racing, and loahng.
Let me say however, that in Atlanta,
Augusta, Macon, Charleston, Savannah,
Montgomery, etc, tie number of young
men in stores, shops, and law Offices, is
fully equal to the number in any north
ern city you can name, taking population
into account.
In four weeks trip in the south did
not see one young man drunk. / did
not see 4 game Of cards or horse race.
| did not hear a dispute. found young
men everywhere. | talked with hun
dreds, and in every instance | found
them Studying law or medicine, keeping
books, behind counter, out in the fields
with their coats off. They not only work
but they are ambitious.
The young men of the south are not
only doing fully as well as the young
men of the north, hut in many cases they
are doing better. found scores Of them
making money hand over hand, by their
own unaided efforts, and scores with
bright prospects ahead. He who asserts
that they shirk labor wrongs them. He
who asserts that they drink or gamble
more than the same number Of young
men in the north, is reckless OF facts.
There may be black sheep among them,
but taken as a whole they are genteel,
courteous, hard working, and an xious to
secure places Of high standing.

A Sad AFFAIR.
Arkansaw Traveller.

A very sad hanging occurred recently
in the southern part of Arkansaw.
A negro, who had committed murder
was sentenced to be hung on certain
dav.
People for miles around were enthusi-
astic over the approaching festivities,
and when the day arrived the little town
where the hanging was TO take place was
crowded.
amusing teething babies came, and tossed
the little sufferers in the neighbnrhood
of the gallows. Young men who wanted
to gain the affection of Young ladies, and
old grand mothers for whom the world
is growing stale and tiresome, travelled
miles to witness the imposing ceremo.
MES.
While the crowd stood around the Jail,
in anticipation of the coming program
of mirth, several devilish young fellows
secured horse and wagon, borrowed a
coffin, and placing the death box, and a
negro hired for the occasion in a wagon.
they drove around the Jail and then out
through the country. Several men with
guns also sat in the wagon, and altogeth-
er the outfit had rather a tragic appear
ance.
"Yonder they CO." yelled some one,
and Immediately the crowd began to fol.
low the wagon. Old men hobbled along
and tired mothers lugged their babies,
soothing them with the promise that the
fun would soon begin.

When Widows are Mos. Dangerous.

The second year is that in which the
widow is really happy. The sombre
depths of her mourning cast aside, she

Jewel case. Even with very becoming

blank to a woman ifshe cannot wear her

what new delight are they not worn

Always dangerous. they are then more so

An Electric Lamp story.

An old couple went to the crystal pal

candescent lights, asked the price, found
it moderate, the Swan lamp only costing
IS each. Their means were limited, but
the advantages seemed great, and they
resolved TO risk it, and invested in three
or four Of the Swan lamps.
"Of course you know all about the en-.
gines and the different systems of pro-
ducing electricity said the intelligent
clerk who handed them the Swan circu-
lars.
"Jist like these felers, my DEAR said

A Warning to Statesmen.
yev York World.

/. Probably the most disgusted young
gentleman in New York is one connect:
ed with large dry-goods store. This is
why:
III. Some time ago the wife of a promi-
neEt politician-an estimab!e lady, and
naturally a great stickler for fashion, es-
pecially as she began life at hotel, but
not as guest-made up her mind to
purchase a camel's hair shawl OF the lrst
water.
III. Accordingly she prepared for
shopping campaign and invited a young
gentleman who knew the ropes to ac-
company her.
". This young gentleman went to
friend in the shawl line and said unto
him I'm going to bring Mrs = here to-
morrow TO buy a camel's hair. She won't
think il Is a good one unless it costs her
good deal of money. You understand
V. The salesman said he did, and
went TO the head of the firm and said
There's lady coming here to buy a
camel's hair shawl tomorrow, and |
think | can sell her one at a high
| price, because she is a parvenue and
/ won't appreciate it otherwise. How
much of margin can ! work on, because
| | want TO make something for myself?'
"Well," said the boss" it's a 5000 shawl I;
anything you can get above $500 you can
have"
VI. Next day when Mrs. - called, the
salellan showed her the shawl what
is the price, The lady's companion
wirked at the salesman and noiselessly

and lie replied huskily: Seven hun

We'll | will speak TO nay husband about
it," You internal IDIOT" hissed her es
cort 10 the salesman as they went out,
"you didn't ask her enough -
VII When the lady went home and
told her husband, he said. "My deSr,

for at IS. I guess you had better go
there. "Well, | will to morrow, only |

VII. Next day the lady called at the
other store and encountered a salesman
of a more Nspoleonic charcter. This
shawl at $780," he said. "is about the

thizing salesman drew her out for few
moments, aud then reflected that they
had one shawl left that they were going
to send up TO Mrs. Vanderbilt, and that
perhaps it bad not yet left the store. So
he dispatched trusty messenger TO set
it.
IN. The trusty messenger sped down
stairs and over to the rival es ablishment
and got the shawl. and the salesman
asked the lady 81 900 for il. and she took
it at once, saying the pattern looked
very much like the one she had seen the
day before. brt any one could see it was
a much superior article And the sales

Bird. That observed ,b. sabbath.

A correspondent of the Selma, (Ala.)
Times has come to the conclusion that
one pair of birds at least observed the
Sabbath day and kept it holy. He SAYS:
"A pair of mocking birds were very
busy Saturday building nest on the
swinging bough of an oak tree that grows
very near my room window. At dusk
Saturday the nest was about finished.
Sunday | sat by the window reading
most OF the day, and could plainly see the
nest and its builders. During the whole
day not one stroke of work did they do
on it. They hopped and flew about,
chirped and sang, but no work for them.
They were keeping the Sabbath. Mon
day morning, bright and early, looked
out, and then they We're flying to and fro,
carrying straws, sticks and bits of cotton
as busy as bees. Strange, wasn't itPn

Photograpbing the II 900 virgins.

AT Cologne, John l.. Stoddard and his
photographer, Mr.. Black, visited the
church containing, among other relies.
the bones Of / 600 virgins. Mr. Stoddard
was determined to have photographs
made Of the sanity skulls anu bones, and
secured the sscris'an's permission by a
goodly fee. Unfortunately, however, as
the church was dimly lighted, long ex-
posure of the Photographic plate was
necessary, and the sacristan's agony OF
mind lest some superior should enter and
discover his lax conduct, together with
his frantic efforts to show the relics to a
number of English tourists without plac-
ing himself or the travellers between the
camera and the virgins ghastly relics,
fairly convulsed both lecturer and photo
grapher.

a True Test.
Nyes Boomerang

AYES boomerang.
A writer on the ethics of coursshiu
says:
"You want to know whether or not he
is dead gone on You? Ask him to button
your glove. II he do it readily you NAV
as well look elsewhere; but if he goes "a
work with fingers all thumbs, and tug
and strain; if he tear out a button-hole
or two; especially If he scratch your
wrist once or twice, then you may be
sure that you've got him, and may pull
him in at your leisure"
This is eminently true. If il be done
in an abandoned style, you can bet there
is no hope; but if he trembles so that his
teeth almost fall out, ycu can prognost.-
cate that the day is not far distant when
he will walk out the front door of his
own home and take a chew of tobacco at
the front gate, while she turns the cat
out, locks the front door, and buttons her
own glove all at the same time.
These timid men are easy TO catch that
way, but they are about as docile after
they are shared as Numidion lion.

Tue Pretty Daisy's Drawbacks.
Hnrtford Cnnranl.


The favorite flower in Boston Just now
is what yonng ladies call the daisy, but
which ismore familiar to farmers and 9TH
ers who have lived in the country as'white
weed. One meets it everywhere. Ladies
pluck it and wear it in punches about
their persons or trim their hats and
dresses with it, and nearly every house
among people Of aesthetic tastes has it
as plenty in the fields with you as with
us. 1t is really very handsome flow
er, but it is vary common, and TO far
mers there is no weed so pestiferous. Ifit
gets into geld it will spread as nothing
else spreads, and it refuses TO be uproot-
ed. The plow will not balf the time kill
il out. Cattle will not eat it; it destroys
the succulent grasses it is the despair
of the agriculturist. There might be a
market for it for ornamental purposes
were it not for its inexhaustibe plenty.
We raise enough about Boston alone to
support a continent. There is no road
side without it and it will not down in
the fields. People have begun to take
it up for q house plant to flower in win.

with in this way.

How He Was Cured.

Says the Spring field Republican Years
ago there was psuper at tie almshouse
who was always on the point of commit
ting suicide much to the annoyance OF
all the people who had anything to do
with him, Finally the city physician in
vitsd him to ride to town one day. and
on the way the pauper remarked: "Doc-
tor, please give me few cents to buy
some arsenic, want to make an end Of
myself" TheE the doctor replied.
That's the reason why asked you TO
take a ride. | shall take You down to
my Office and put couple Of drops of n
certain acid on your tongue. 1t will kill
you in less than half a minute, and
shall tell the people that you died in a
ct. Then the city will bury you in good
shape" The pauper waited to hear no
more, but jumped from the wagon and
"bolted' for the woods His lips were
sealed forever after on the subject of sui
eide.

seemed very fair. II is believed that
the upset was caused by relative Of
Conrad, who Is said to be so strong in
her faith as TO believe marriage contracts
with heretics TO be extremely sinful. On
the morning Of the day fixed for the
wedding, it is thought that she exacted
promise from Conrad that he would
go TO the end Of the earth rather than
marry Miss Fischer. 1t is supposed that
he has taken refuge wit. some friends
at Railway, and that he will not be able
TO keep the alleged promise TO his rela.
tive. The greatest possible sympathy
has been manifested toward Miss Fis-
cher, and it is hoped for her sake that
matters may be arranged without the
aid of law court.

An Editors Discovery,
Cincinnati Saturday Night.


A country editor is reported to have
visited this city recently. who. for com.
forts sake, purchased pair of second.
hand boots, as good as new, which fitted
him to perfection. He determined upon
tracing The boots to their original owner
with view to getting a duplicate last
upon which thehceforth he proposed to
have his boots built. With the inLelli.
gent persistence peculiar to editors he
soon discovered all about them. They
had once belonged to himself, but had
been bartered by his wife to peddle,
for ten cent motto, God bless our
home" and had finally found their way
to Cincinnati. Any man but an editor
would have been mad at such discovery,
but he was not lie got drunk and did
not get his paper out that week, and that
was all there was of It.
