ADDISON. BY w. j. Courthope. New York: Har.
per & Brothers; Indianapolis; Merrill, Meigs & Co.
This is No. "a of the English Men of Letters
series, edited by Mr. John Morley. AS a
biography and critical estimate of the character
and work of Joseph Addison, of course. it is one
of the most important of the entire list, Mr..
Morley has placed the work in competent hands
Mr.. Courthope is himself man of letters, and
he writes of the great master con amore The
style is charming and the biography from first
to last is successful attempt to give us
picture of the author of the Spectator precisely
he was in relation to the times in which he
lived. The first chapter, 'The State Of
English Society and Letters After
the Restoration is an admirable
setting for the portrait which develops so skill
fully and naturally under Mr.. Courthope's treat
ment Addisons fame rests upon THE Specta-
tor" and while giving to Richard Steele all the
credit he deserves, Mr. Courthope claims for
Addison the full credit for the creation and
maintenance of what is now regarded as the
chief classic of English literature. 'The work
of Addison" says Mr.. Courthope consisted in
building up public opinion which, in spite of
its durable soldity, seems, like the great Gothic
cathedrals, to absorb into itself the individuality
of the architect" A whole chapter of this vol
ume is devoted to Addison's quarrel with Pope,
another to "Cate," and throughout the treat.
ment is so ample as to make the treatise in all
respects a satisfactory life Of the creator of
Roger de Coverley.

The rain fall during the last few showery
days has been considerable on the hills
south of Bassin, and all through the centre
of the island reaching to the western shore.
AS the past three months have been rather
drier than usual, this improvement in the
weather is very welcome. The general
appearance of the weather just now is
unsettled, and seems to promise more rain,
which is just what is wanted now to force
the canes forward.

Thursday evening in honour of the 15Oth
anniversary of the union of st. CrolX with
Denmark went off very pleasantly and she
~cessfully. The company left about three
o'clock, just at which time a heavy shower
of rain fell, accompanied with thunder and
lightning. Although the rain spoiled the
walk or the drive home, especially the
former, the ladies will no doubt overlook

say fluid, advantage to future prospects.

The Governor said, when the new School
Ordinance was adopted, it was the inten-
ton to carry it into effect as soon as posi-
BILE. To that end the Government made
the necessary efforts. The School Board
recommended that a certain number OF
certain school. books should be procured
at once; he 1.-THE GovernOr) had then con-
fprred with the Budget Committee who
gave the assurance that it would recon-
mend to the Council the adoption of q
grant for that purpose; therefore the
Government had already bought the books
in expectation Of such grant.-In order to
carry out the School Ordinance it was
furthermore cOnsidele ed advisable that
some of the teachers then employed should
be dismissed; and the Government COnSi-
dered it but Just when they were to be
dismissed without amy fault of theirs to
allow them 3 months salary; also i'll this
respect the Government conferred with the
Budget Committee who promised to recon-
mend the Grant for that purpose. The
amendment cmb0dieS these two items, and
for further information he would refer to
the Remarks attached to this item under
the RectiicatiOns to the Budget.
Tho Speaker while referring to the Com

The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1884-08-21

If there is any virtue in rabbit
foot Grover Cleveland will be the next
president of the United States. About
a month ago it occurred to the editor Of
the Eufaula, Ala, Daily Mail that only
one thing was needed to make the Dem
ocrasic campaign an assured success.
Under the inspiration Of the moment he
advertised for rabbit foot, and in few
DAYS received one from Atlanta with the
statement that it was the left hindfoot OF
q graveyard rabbit shot on the grave of
Jesse James at St. Joseph, Mo. A local
jeweler mounted the rabbit foot in solid
silver, with the inscription ITO our
next president, O tailsman of victory" +"
The trinket was then expressed to Gov.
ernor Cleveland with history of the
rabbit foot and its traditions. Governor
Cleveland is a level.headed man, and the
very day he received the gift of his
Eufaula friends he sat down and wrote q
handsome letter of acknowledgment, in
which he said ri thank you for the
gift, and am ready to confess that such a
thing, with such history, ought to &C.
complish great results" A letter from
Eufaula to the New Orleans Times Dem
ocrdt says tha' when the southern negroes
become aware of the fact that Governor
Cleveland "totes a rabbit foot" they will
vote for him in spite of persuasion,
threats and bribes The average south
ern darkey holds the rabbit foot in su-
preme reverence, as possessing mysterl:
Gus power for good to its owner and evil
to his enemies.
Popularity is not infalibility. Err.
rors exist only while they are popular.

polygamous Economics.

The private home routine OF polyga.
NOUS family is matter upon which 50
much curiosity is constantly expressed
by my acquaintances that venture to
saw here what little I know; but the
reader must remember that less than ten
per cent. of the voting Mormon popula.
ton of Utah are polygamists.
The polygamist, as rule, has accu.
mulated some property and owns house
before he takes second and successive
wives, though sometimes he begins by
marrying two or three at once. All of
these marriages, however, except the
first, are made secretly by. the Church,
and no record of them is accessible.
In the city, at least, it is seldom that
the different wives share the same quar-
tiers. In the country this is not so un-
common, but the natural unpleasantness
follows in most cases. The general
method is to have large house, the
main part of which, perhaps, is occupied
by the first wife and wings or additions
by the successive candidates for marital
honors. These large, struggling, hotel
like houses are common in Salt Lake
City, and mark a difference between it
and town of small houses like Cheyenne
and most other Western villages. In
many cases, however, the husband sets
up his wives in different homes, either
side by side or in different parts of the
city. In any case each has her own
Kitchen garden, etc. I have in mind a
wealthy dignitary of the Church whom
you might easily have mistaken for the
late Peter Cooper, and who is possessed
of seven wives. Each of these women
has some farming and garden ground of
her own, and all are greatly devoted to
rearing bees. With the help of their
grown children they each raise a large
amount of produce and honey annually.
The husband acts as their agent. He
hives their swarms of bees and charges
them for it; he renders special aid when
called upon and is paid for it; he sells
their crops aud honey when it is ready
and credits each wife with her due share.
Most of them live in suites of apart
ments under the roof Of his great house
in town, but the first wife has beautiful
farm of her own little out of the city,
to which she and her children have re-
tired, to end their days in peaceful inde-
pendence.
The way in which this old gentleman
has always arranged his domestic life is
reported to be thus: BE had certain
rooms in his house where he kept his
bed, his wardrobe, his books, and saw
any visitors who called upon him. Here
he was a bachelor and here he stayed
every other day and night. On alter.
nate days and nights he WAS the guest OF
one or another of his wives in regular
rotation, devoting the one day lin this
case fortnightly) which was hers diligent.
| ly to her society. Of course this routine
was not invariable, but for the most part
| it was regularly followed.-Harper's Mag
azine.

what the result might have been had not

all events, even FIVE cents was better
than no money at all, so the next morn
ing Lettie took it, and provided with
little basket, went to market for the first
time sincs the evacuation. She returned
with half peck of "greens" which
made our fat pork much more palatable,
and though I have frequently since
dined at Delmonico's, never enjoyed
his choicest salads, or most delicate bis
cults qlaces more than we did our first
mess of greens. However, soon after
an officer of the United States Sani-
tary Commission called, presenting a
letter of introduction from friends in the
North, and placed at the disposal of my.
self and sisters any dainty or luxury in
their possession, that might aid in re-
storing US to health, and from that time

were not the recipients of some kind at
tentions at their hands.
ONLY MEMORIES LEFT.
In about two weeks our male relatives
began to return to their homes one by
one as they were paroled. Things began
to readjust themselves, and now, in 1884,
the war is already spoken of as some
thing in the long ago; feelings of Sec
tional animosity are gradually sottening,
"Dixie" or "Yankee Doodle" is listened
to with almost equal pleasure beside the
picturesque Hudson or the historic
James; prattling children, in W whose veins
is mingled the blood of Federal and Con-
federate, listen with eager faces to tales
of daring and deeds of heroism, whether
the brave heart of the hero beat under
"jacket of grey" or the "army blue"
and all unite in placing floral tributes
upon the mounds which cover the mortal
part of those who fell in the path of
what they believed to be duty, and whose
spirits have now met in that land which
knows no North, no South, no East, no
West. God hasten the happy time when
all evidences of the devastations of that
war will have passed away, and when our
country will once more have cause to
rejoice that not only peace, but unity
and prosperity, reign throughout her
borders.

Returning to our room and seeing my
invalid sister laDguishing for want OF
comforts which we had then no means OF
providing for her it occurred to me that
we we might make little money by selling
eatables to the passing soldiers; but
where to get the materials to make them
was the question. However, summoning
our little dark skinned maid, Lettie, to
the conference, her quick wit suggested
a plan. We went to work and out OF the
provisions secured by my foraging party
we made some delicacies ~ pies. 10 be
sure the dried apples were little favored
with tea, and the scaly particles IN the
pastry betrayed the presence of meal,
while in the lard there was evidently a
soupcon of soap, but we had always
heard, and our own observation had
shown US, that soldiers are not very daln'
ty. So giving Lettie Il basket full OF the
tempting looking plates she hopefully set
off. Seating herself on the curbstone
she pressing ly offered her inviting wares

were made by mice white ladies, and

ously for moment, they would pass On,
till one of the soldiers, hungrier l sup
Jose than the rest, ventured to take one

- The New York World says that
between the prohibition ticket drawing
from the Republicans and the German
desertions from the same party there is
fighting chance for the Democrats in
Kansas. Hayes majority was $4,000;
St. Johns (Rep.) in '75, 10000; Gar
fields Al 900, and in 1882 Click (Dem.)
had majority over the Republicans of
5000, the Greenback vote being $1,000.
The Democratic and greenback vote has
steadily increased since 1876 and the
Republican steadily diminished.
"A prominent Republican journal is
authority for the statement that MIR.
Blaine has promised donation of $500,
900 to the campaign fund, to be paid on
the 1st of September. The same news
paper says that wealthy friends of Gen.
Logan have agreed to add 100000 on
his behalf. Mr.. Benz. franklin Jones,

committee, has already drawn his check

plight in which it now finds itself.
