A eRnAT CHANGE IN THE SOUTH.

An old man said to me to day
"Do you know that it is the rares
thing to find good cook 10 the
Southern family. Before the wal
the Southern people had the bes
cooking in the world--now we have
the poorest" This is the reason
10 the slave days every Southern
lady was an accomplished housewife
She selected a servant who was to be
the cook and trained her herself. -
She supervised, instructed and ad.
vised until the cook had become per-
feet and was installed as cook for
life. In training the cook mothers
trained their daughters. If the
slightest thing went wrong in the
kitchen either mother or daughter
could at once detect aud correct it.
Hence we had cooking that was ia.
nous the world over. Why, in
those days If | had been called on to
supply one article by which alone
the South could demonstrate a SUI
periority, should have selected the
old Southern waffle. | think it was
of rather 6uer perfection than our
craftsmanship. The waffle is now
only a memory. 1t persisted at APP
pomattox.
"Since the war Southern women
are no longer cooks. Having to deal
with casual servants, there is no
longer any temptation to train a
servant as cook. The moment she
becomes proficient she'is apt to leave
you Hence, our housewives have
lost their ambition. They pick up
whatever servants come hsndiest and
take their chances. There is really
all the more reason than ever they
should understand cooking. The
schools, too, and against US. They
teach music, French, German, paint
ing and dancing, and have no time
for the useful arts"

A GEORGIA ENocH ARDEN

Eleven years ago Mr.. Candy, of
Taylor county, Ca, led Miss Gurus
tona, fair lady of the same county,
to Hymen's altar, and there they
pIighted their vows for each other.
Being of restless disposition, and
to better his fortune, Mr.. Candy de
cided to cast his lot in the far West.
After reasoning with the wife of his
bosom on the many advantages of
change of base, they parted, he 60
ing West and she choosing the board
of her parents. Time winged it's
way onward. Five years passed,
and no tidings came from the truant
husband. A young man by the
name of Crook met Mrs. Candy and
fell a victim to her charms, it being
reported that Mr.. Candy had gone
where the woodbiue twineth. Liz
cense was obtained, and Mr.. Crook
and Mrs. Candy were made one.
Ten years and little longer, but no
thought of Mr.. Candy was INDUCED
by the happy pair, and that his soul
bad made peace with his Maker.
One day last week Mr.. Candy step
ped before the footlights of Mr..
Crooks domicile to claim the wife of
bis bosom. To this Mr.. Crook has
INJURED, and now comes the tug of
war. That night a scene was en-
acted, where two husbands could be
seen sitting on the front piazza
smoking the pipe of peace, yet both
claiming the same woman as their
lawful wife.

A STRANGE FREAK.

Mr.. Reubin Ball, a man near so
years of age, residing over in tho
neighborhoOd of Warrior Creek
Church, in Laurens county, S. c.,
had a severe attack of sickness not
long since, of several weeks dura>
ton, but finally recovered. Az
might be naturally supposed from bis
advanced age, he was and had been
quite gray for several years. About
the time the late sickness took place,
however, his hair began to turn
slightly darker, continuing so during
his confinement; and now, we are
informed, it is as black as il ever
was at any time during his younger
days.

A comical scene occurred on beard
sleeping car that left Chatsano6ea
the other night. Among the pasasbsl
gers was a plain, staid old Georgia
'schoolmarm," who was going West.
She bad secured lower berth, but
when about to retire discovered that
a gentleman was to occupy the shelf
above her. She made "holy kick"
against this arrangement, and fatty
declared that a Company that had
no more regard for single lady's
feeling was unworthy of the patron
age of respectable people. The con-
ductor, after considerable trouble,
got the lessee of the shelf to take a
lower berth 10 the next section. -
The gentle damsel retired without
disrobing, and later 10 the night got
up to get a drink of water. Before
leaving her berth she pinned piece
of paper to the curtain, in order that
she might make sure of it on her
return. Her movements we're OBJ
served by the gentleman whom she
had caused to remove, and he, being
a wag, bethought him that now was
his chnnce to get even. Hastily res
moving the paper he pinned it to
the curtain of an Atlanta drummer
and then awaited developments. -
In little while the lady made her
way to where the paper was affixed
and got into bed. A moment later
a succession of piercing screams is
sued from the berth, followed by the
lady and the now awakened
drummer, who hoped out after her
to see "what the devil the racket
was about" The scene that ensued
beggars description. 1t took the
conductor and the porter an hour to
pacify the enraged female, and even
lhen she refused to be modified until
she was given a stateroom for her
sole use for the remainder of the
night.

THE Republican party claims to
be the party of "retrenchment and
great moral ideas" If 'retrench
ment' means to pay out more money
each year than it did the preceding
to Federal officials, then it is par
ty of 'retrenchment;' and if to rob
the Treasury whenever a chance
presents itself makes it party Of
morality, then it is the party oil
great moral ideas This year the
salaries paid to federal officials will,
it is said, exceed the amount paid
out last year by at least { 5000, 600.
If this ia the kind of retrenchment
the American people are to get we
think it is about time different
kind of retrenchment was being iu-
augurated by them. And the star
route steals and other Treasury pee
ulations of this party will show
how much claim it has to the great
moral idea part Of the question.

A YANKEE CAPTAIN oUTWIPTED
Bangor (Me.) Wing.

Capt. Farrow, of Islesboro, tells
good story of himself, which occurred
few years ago while he was trading
at Key West. 1t was a case where
a Northern Yankee was outwitted by
Southerner. The Captain was
trading in small vessel, and had
been up the coast to Tampa Bay,
where he purchased twenty dozen
chickens, paying 81 per dozen
The chickens ran all the way in size
from a few days old to fullcgrown
ones. At Key West hotel land-
lord came alongside and asked the
Captain how be sold bis Chickens
The Captain replied: "If you pick
them out shall charge you Sc per
dozen if you let me pick them you
can have them SO per Dozen" "Ail
right" said the hotel man, "you pick
them out" The Captain selected
several dozen of the smallest, when
the man said: $50 ahead, l want
more" The Captain was now among
bis largest fowls, and wished the
man would stop, but he still said,
"Go o." The Captain saw the
point at last. The man kept him
selecting until he purchased the en-
tire lot at loss of $40 to the owuer.
After this the Captain sold his chick

LAWYERS BUT NO LAW,

Jones, of Texas, in Congressional Debate.
There is less law, really, among a
body of lawyers than among any set
of men on earth. Look at it, if you
please. What is the old adage, the
old rule =? | will not repeat the Latin
aphorjsm, because | am not a Latin
scholar. But will give you the
English of it, and it is this ''Where
the law is uncertain, there is no law"
Take your 1873 lawyers in the House,
and they will debate in high and
low debate, and get furious, and after
all, after a debate of two and-a hall
days, you cannot find two of them
who agree about any single PROPOSE
ton of law, to save your lives. See
how they are changing here. Why,
gentlemen, 10 all candor and fair
ness, | would not give the institu'
tious of an honest rustic's heart in
pursuing one attempting to attain the
truth, for all the fine spun arguments
of all the lawyers in the universe.
