The joint discusaions between the
opposing candidates for the lsgisls-
tnre terminated last Saturday ct
Crystal Springs with grand tri.
umph for our ticket. All wero con.
tldent that such would be tho case,
but TO one hardly anticipated 1t
would result 10 such a complete an
utilization Of the sors.headed repre-
sentatives. At an early hour the
honest yeomanry and true sover-
eigus began to come into town to
give their presence as an encourage.
ment to our candidates. A lively
cannonsde was kept up during the
morning, and by the time the hour
for speaking arrived 9 large crowd
had assembled. whose enthusiasm
was ut the highest pitch, and whose
determination to conquer in this
fight was pictarsd in every face. 1t
Is needless to 60 into o detailed ac-,
count OF tho speeches. No new is
sues were pressntek by the indspsnd-
ents nor any new points argued,
Bridewell was the first to take the
stand. aud he went through with his
same old railroad speech, talking Of
monopolies, election OF Judges, and
skiing to not BE- held responsible for
the sins OF the republican party.
DIR. Rowan replied to -Bridswell, and
he is said to have surpassed all bis
former efforts ON this occasion. AZ
the CANVAS wakes warmer the dec
tor gets better. and the people see
now their wisdom in selecting him as
one OF their standard. bearers. Nc
Neil then proceeded to scquaint the
people with how badly he had been
treated, how he was swindled, how
good q democrat hs was, how the
mule ought not to have eaton up the
bsllo,-b, Z, etc. He makes no argu-
msnt. but INDUCES iu an eterna
whine ~ t. his imaginary griovian-
css. Guynes in few minutes blis.-
cred Nc. and then dealt with the bal
lance Of the independent crew, and
he did it without gloves. The peo-
plc are proud OF Guynes, and his
bearing through these discussions
has marked him a. q man entirely
worthy of their heartiest support.
At night the democratic club. num>
bering two hundred and nine,y-,hrse,
held AZ enthusiastic meeting aud
short addresses were delivered by
DR. Rowan, Mr.. Ben Former and
Nc. w G. Wilkinson. tho President,
Saturday was field day FOR democ-
racy. The independent candidates
were ~ badly demoralizod that Par-
son Bridewell, we are Informed, has
nc nounced his intention Of laying on
hia onrs the balance Of the campaign.

lanterns, but also paper pocket. hand.
kerchiefs, paper umbrellas, paper water.
proof cloaks, paper walls, paper win.
dows and paper string.
The Japanese obtain it from differ.
ent source from our own. Instead OF
old rags being convert d into clean
paper, they make use of the bark OF the
Broussonetia papytera, stripped, dried,
aud then stepped in water till the outer
green layer comes off 1t is cheap, foul
sheets OF the ordinary quality being
worth about one arthing 1t is paper
that does not tear evenly some kinds
are tough-m re like cloth. When re-
quired for string, it is deity twisted in.
to q strong twine, which in some cases
is made Of part of the paper forming the
wrapper.
When oiled, it is made into water
proof clothing, or stretched on neatly
cons ructed bamboo frame and used as
an umbre la. One kind is manufactured
to assume the appearance OF leather, aud
is made into tobacco pouches, pipe and
fan cases. The conjnrers use kind OF
white tissue paper in the famous butter

The etiquette of visiting inthe cosmo
politan society of London is complex,
and iul of pitfalls. Wea admonished
that visits should always be brief, and
that first visits should be returned at the
latest within three days. Royalty pays
such debts on the same day they arc
contracted. II on wet day we 'an not
command vehicle, we are to withhold
our foot from our friends house; to
enter aroom with mud bespattered shoes
is betise. A decade ago the Countess
OF .--, in her obliging instructions on
etiquette, uttered the dictum that unless
you were person OF consideration it
would be presumption on your part to
set aside a day in each week to receive
visitors but that is all alte ered nowadays,
and in the season almost every lady has
her day at home.
The ramifcations of card leaving are
too numerous to detail, Cards emanat-
ed from the French, but they use them
in less complex fashion than that
which is followed by us. Formerly
visiting cards we're lett by a footman,
who on the arrival of his mistress in
town made his round to the houses on
her visiting list. This custom has been
abandoned, and now all cards must be
left in person. We are told that the
card must be thin, without glaze, and
three and half inches in width by two
and half in depth. A temporary ad-
dress must be written, not printed. A
husband and wife must never have their
names printed on the same card, while,
on the other hand. young lady must
not have one for her special use; she
must be entered below the maternal
name. The iuner significance OF cards
is study to be thoroughly y understood
by the idle busybodies OF society only.
To outsiders or mere transient members
OF gay circles they are blank. Only
the initiated can tel which end to turn
down, when the card ought merely to
be doubled, or ii it be necessary to bend
down more than one corner; also how
many it is proper to leave under given
conditions. But this, as we'll ss all
other matters pertaining to the "vast
and vague" mys cry of cards aud card
leaving, is it not writtenin the book of
eclectic observance? ?-Hn pers Weekly.
