Enterprise.
Johnson City is certainly on a big
"boom." There are now four busi>
ness houses in course Of erection,
all Of them are large . two story
buildings, and will always command a
high rent, OF ready sale. In addition
to these there are several nice dwell
ings going up, and a good prospect
for as many. more in the lear future.
Our town is full OF strangers all
the time, many of whom are here
with q view to locating permanently
There is scarcely a day passes buy
that we hear of some new business
enterprise coming 30 our town. It Is

Johnson City. what her ultimate flu
ture shall be. VIII those who have
property for sale sell it at o reason
able price, and thus encourage strang~
ers and capitalists to locate here, or
will they hold thei- property at such
eXlIorbitant prices as TO crush out
and exterm1nate all capital and en-
terprise that may seek this as q place
of Investment?
Tho business interests of Johnson
City have in years past suffered sori-
ously on account of the unreasonable
prices at which real estate has always
been sold; and it's owners have thus
unwittingly labored against their own
interests as well as those of an intere

The town has now gained an inns
petus-not by the ~liberality of its
citizens, but by the energy Of North
ern capitalists-from which it can and
will, If not retarded by the over
avaricious, grow and prosper until it
will in a few years, be a city not only
in name but in reality.

Chinese Finger Nails.

The Chinese are very inconsistent In
their talk about the dignity of labor.
Once year the Emperor and chief
noblemen at his court go into a field
and pillow up a few burrows, while the
Empress raises cocoanuts of her own to
set good example to their subjects.
At the same time they allow the finger
nails to grow TO an extent that inca
pacitates them for labor Of any descrip-
ton. 1t is considered sign of great
est gentility, and remarkable amount
of time and talent is expended in pol
ishing and sharpening them. When
they have reached few inches in
length, they are inclosed in silver or
gold sheaths, and turned backward to
the elbow for protection. One gentle
man in Shanghai has grown his nails
to the length of eighteen inches. The
women, as is we'll known, have their
feet bound from the time they are born,
and when they are grown the exceed
ingly-Sne ladies have to be helped
around by their maids, so useless have
they becomel L have seen women
whose feet were only three inches and
a half in length.-Shanghdi letter.

PENSIONS.
The Methods of Unprincipled Attorneys

The Methods of Unprincipled Attorneys
Judge Ferris, Second Auditor of the Treas
ury, in his annual report exposes the meth
eds by which the soldiers of the late war and
the Government are being swlndled by I'M
principled attorneys and agezts. He says
not one in ten applications for arrears Of pay
and bounty possess any merit, and not one in
twenty of all these claims is filed upon
suggestion or by voluntary action of claim
ant. The attorney seeks II client and rep
resents to the uniformed, more generally
coored soldiers or their heirs, that they have
not been paid all that Is justly due
them; that some new law or new cOnstruc.
ton of existing law entities them 70 more
bounty or further pay. small fee in ad
vance il required, generally 81 or So, some
times more; in fact, all that can be got with
promise no more will be demanded unless
the claim be allowed. The fee IL paid the ap
plicaton filed and In the end rejected. The
attorney rarely looks after claims; IL does
not pay. He has received his little advance
fee, and il pays better TO hunt up moro vic
tins. Soldiers are swindled, and, after their
claims are rejected, frequently de-
nounce the Government and its Off
GERS, who simply administer the law
IA they find it, Another class OF
worthless claims is constantly increasing,
namely claims for boun les already paid. In
many of these cases denials of former pay
ments are made under oath, when the records
Of this Office, authenticated in the highest
manner known TO law and the courts, show
concluslvely payments were made years ago.
Perjury is sometimes added To forgery, and
the lapse of time since the war increases the
chances OF success to the forgers and per-
turers Should these records be destroyed,
and such calamity is not beyond posi-
bility, the Government certainly would be
defrauded out of millions of money.

Mahone's defeat is one of the most over
whelming known in Virginia politics, and sur

strongholds have all gone against him. The
excitement was unprecedented in Virginia,
and greater than during the uprising against
carpe.-bug government in reconstruction

arms, and such was the explosive condition
OF affairs that the slightest jar would have
caused riots all over the State.
In Danville white men 20 years of age went
70 vote with shotguns on their shoulders.
This state OF affairs was largely due to cam
paign speeches, the whites warning the
negroes that they would be enslaved IL Mahon
was defeated, and the colored orators threat
ening the burning and sacking of houses and
numbering of women and children while the
whites were at the polls to vote. This reused
the people at Danville, and many sent their

Dir: CHARLES G.. BEATTY, of Steuben-

1isposing of his wealth. At first he
prayerfully set apart one-tenth of his
income for the cause of Christianity !;
but when the financial revulsion Of 1887
wrought widespread distress lie resolved
that onefourth should go to religion
md charity. After this, in view of the
fact that, as he says in the written
pledge found since his recent death
The Lord had blessed him pecuniarily
beyond what he had ever expected or
desired" he made covenant never to
allow tho principal of his fortune to ex-
ceed $4,000 and that all above this
should be given away. Accordingly,
5he value of his estate is 500, 900, and
Che aggregate gif!s amounted TO $500,
300.
