can sing, and, if her prospects may be
guaged by the enthusiastic reception
accorded her numbers at Zuccardi's
morning concert the other day, her
future is bright. unfortunately for
her, she sang in Steinway Hall Ports

OF location, but no good qualities

of the worst in acoustic properties in
London. There were a number of
good names on the programme, and

A Good Edgefield Anccdote.

The recent agitation of the public road
question reminds me of an anecdote that
mail carrier, who rode between Angus
ia and Longmires in Edgefeld county,
used to delight in telling to show the
average condition of the routes he tray-
elled. He said on one occasion he was
riding along at the rate ofa mile an hour,
his horse sinking to his knees at every
step, when looking some distance ahead
of him he saw small black object NOV
ing about the middle of the road which
hs at first supposed to be bird. AS he
drcw nearer he saw that it was q black
hat and when he got within reach he
lifted it and saw mans head Just far
enough above the mud for him to breathe.
The mail courier asked him what was
the matter; he replied that he had struck
a very soft place in the road and had i'm.
mediately sunk so rapidly that he was
unable to extricate himself. The cou-i-
er said, "well, my friend, you are Ger.
tainly in a very bad fx." The stranger
replied, "well, If you think I am in an
unpleasant position, what do you think
of my mule? am on n mule"
This happened about Red Hill in Sem
ator Buffers county and this occurrence,
which is vouched for, will convince
anyone that the Senator is in earnest in
his efforts to improve the condition Of
the public highways Columbia Cores.

sheets or layers of paper or straw board,

What l Like TO See.

like to see persons come to church
after the services have begun it shows
they hayo learned the proverb, Better
late than never"
| like to see the congregation turn
around and look at those coming in late :;
it shows they are interested in their per.
sonal appearance.
like to see person sit down in the
end of the seat and compel all others to
crowd past him; it shows that he has
sta(y)bility. a turtle on log will
move over and let his brother turtle up
beside him. do not like to see that,
for it shows that the turtle has never
been to church.
ike 10 see II person accept the usher's
offer to show him to seat, aud then
drop into the first one he comes to, and
let the usher glide on up the aisle alone
like an engine whose train has come
nncoupled; 1t shows that person realizes
that n "friend in need is friend indeed"
like to see young people gigglo and
laugh III church, it shows they arc funny
and mischievous-so arc monkeys.
like to see boys whisper during ser.
vices it sets one to wondering who
their parents are.
like to see people write their names
in the hymn books; it shows that they
know how to write, which is moro than
you would expect of such people.
like to see people ransacking the
iour corners of their purses in search Of
copper to throw into the missionary
collection; it shows that they practice
economy as well as beneyolence.
like to see people sit bolt upright
during prayer; it reminds one of that
stiff necked people, Of old, who were
more upright than pious.
like to see people go to sleep in
church. A church with sound slerpers
IS likely to be an immovable church
But II it does not blow over it ought to
be "blowed up"-by its preacher.
like to see crowded audience with
all the windows closed up tight; it shows
that the janitor is determined not to
waste the sweetness of that service on
the desert mir.
like to see men put on their over
coats aud rubber shoes while singing,
Praise God from whom all blessings
iiow;" it shows that they appreciate
what blessings coats and shoes are.
like to see people look as though
they were at funeral when tho minister
announces that subscription paper will
bo passed it shows how hard 1t 10 to
part with their most dearly beloved
triends-.fivs cent pieces.
like to see people absorbed in far of
contemplation, and fail to observe the
collection basket; it shows that they are
thinking of the poor heather who do
not take up collections.
like to see people let their dogs fol-
low them into church, and then look as
IT they did not know whom in the world
they belonged to it shows that those
people are not dogmatic in their views.
like to see preacher close his ser.
mon with the seventeenthly ut farthcst;

popular thing to preach about is-about

At the Wrong House.

The late Alexander II. Stephens bad
keen sense of the ridiculous, and used
to relate anecdotes from his own oxperi
ence to amuse his friends. One which
he was very fond of telling occurred du-
ring his service in Congress before the
war, when Senator Edward Everett and
NJ. de Sartiges, the French minister, re-.
sided in adjacent houses on G street.
one evening, rs the guests invited by Nj.
de sartiges to dinner party arrived, Mr..
Stephens came with them in evening
dress. The polite Frenchman, not hay.
ing invited the well.known representative
from Georgia, asked him if he wished to
converse with him on any subject.
mo, thank you," replied Mr.. Ste.
pnens, who went on chatting with the
other guests.
N; de Sartiges went to his dining.room,
told his butler not to announce dinner
until that little gentleman in t., parlor
had gone, and returned th. After
waiting quarter of an hour, with tho
full knowledge that his good cheer was
being spoiled, he again approached Mr..
Stephens, saying:
"Meestear Steven, would you like to
see me about something?"
mo, sir F.! No, sirI" was the PROMPT
reply, and, as the disconsolate host
walked away with gesture of despair,
Mr.. Stephens said to gentleman with
whom he was conversing:
what does that impertinent little
Frenchman mean by thinking that 1
want to talk with him ?'
That" was the reply, "is our host,
you know, end perhaps be invited you
to have q little chat before dinner"
"Our host !" exclaimed Mr.. Stephens:
why came here to dine with Senator
Everett, Of Massachusetts !"
The joke was too good to be kept quiet
and after DIr. Stephens had left the
guests at the French legation Joined in
the roar; he created another hearty
laugh in Mr.. Everett's drawing-room
next door, where the guests for another
dinner had been waiting for his arrival.
He had gotten into the wrong house.

He Got Thar.

Going down the great Jackson route
from Grenada, Mississippi, a regular old
homespun native of the State entered
the sleeping car and paid for berth.
He had never been inside of a car of the
kind, and everything astonished him.
When the porter came to make up the
beds saw that the native was greatly
perplexed, but as he made no direct an.
poal it wasn't my duty to post him. He
was the first one to make preparations
for bed. He glanced anxiously around,
pulled off one boot, and then took a rest
for five minutes. When the other boot
came off he had solved the problem,
Pushing his boots under the berth he
started for the rear platform, and nothing
was heard from him for about ten min.
utes. Then he put his bead into the
door and called out:
"All 'uns in thar, look out, for I'm
coming!"
And come he did. He had disrobed
while standing on the platform, made a
bundle of coat, vest and pants, and as he
shot into bed after run up tho aisle he
girgled out:
