Games for the HausaboId

1t Is not necessary that a great
amount OF money be spent in toys
and games. Ii the children are prop
erly encouraged, and directed a little,
they may prepare the materials for
their own game, thus accomplishing
two desirable things, acquiring manual
and mental facility in the manufact-
ure and production OF something with
which to be afterward instructed and
amused. In card games many can be
prepared on plain bristol board cards
in manuscript, involving simple facts
in history, botany, geography ETC.,
or the always-valuable and interest
ing word making game can be pre-
pared on small bits of cards by draw
ing the letters with pen and ink, or
pasting on letters cut from handbills
and newspapers, etc. In board games
the cover of a paper box serves well
for a surface, to be decorated with the
pen, pencil or water colOrs. In eye
olden times" when this country was
not cursed with manufacturers of
games, our grandfathers cut the lines
of fox and geese, twelve men morris
and checkers on the sides OF pine
boards, coloring the spaces, when nee
essary, with red chalk, and using but
tons, red and white corn or colOred
beans for counters, or men, and it is
related by those who claim to know,
that more pleasure was derived from
these rude constructions than the
children OF the present generation get
from their most elegant editions in
gold and colors. Many most valuable
and interesting games have gone out
of the market, and are not to be
bought, but which may be reproduced
under the instruction of some older
persons who may have played them
in their youth; and If the details are
not fully remembered, others equally
as good may be originated.

n Romantic Marriage

From the Americus (Ga.) RecorderI
tuesday morning young Charlie
Prather, colored youth of Smith
vile, came up and purchased we'd
ding outfit OF 81 Hawkins, at Gyles'
to be married in. After fixing himself
up, he walked into Anderson & Lun-
lord S barber shop, when he met
Henry Anderson and Matt Hart, two
OF his Americas friends. After ex-
planning why he was up here, he in
Vlted them to his wedding in Smith
vile on Wednesday night. As soon as
Matt heard this part of his CONVEX
satlon he politely excused himself on
the plea OF business and went out.
He FASTENED to Prince Bros, and
secured a buggy and horse, and drove
out to the school where the young
lady whom Prather was to marry was
teaching. 1t seems that Matt was en-.
gagged to her himself, and was deter
mined not to be left. He drove back
to town with the young lady, and
hastily getting license, was married
TO her at 9:3O P. NJ. at the Methodist
parsonage by Elder ". c. Banton.
The young bride is Miss Viola Mitchell,
who has been teaching a colored
school at Plains OF Dura for some
time. Matt was very smiling yester-
day, but blandly disclaimed all knowl-
edge OF having outwitted a rival.

Dan NaguiDnis' Hobby

Actors, as a general rule, have a
hobby for collecting small articles.
When Hartford Post representative
stepped into Dan Maguinnis' dressing
room at the opera house last evening"
in response to that gentleman's invi-
tation, he was surrounded by clouds
of smoke, which were emitted in &C
cordance with vigorous pulls on new
French brier.
"Comfort ?" the reporter remarked,
after the air had somewhat cleared.
eyes, and great deal OF it." re
sponded Dan, with a grunt of satisfac-
ton. 'Do you know that the average
actor, in order to make up for the alb
sence OF home ties, takes a strong llk-
ing to something like this. The pipes
ny favorite. | have nearly two hun
dred, from the ordinary clay to the
expensive and artistically finished
meerschaum, and no two OF them are
alike. They represent nearly every
city in which | have played, and |
would as soon lose a finger as one OF
them. There are associations con
nected with each which persons with
out any sentiment in their natures
can never appreciate. This one | have
had only a day or two, and l find 1t
very good. BY and by I'll get tired OF
it. see a new one in a shop that will
tickle my fancy, and in a few minutes
it is mine. Yes, next to his wife, the
average mans greatest comfort IS his
pipe" and then, sinking further INTO
his chair, and piacldy folding his
arms, he gave a vigorous pull. In the
cloud OF smoke ichfollowed perhaps
he pictured to himself home, wife, and
the little ones.

TIE Cour,.Housc oue,t,on.

MIR. EDIToR.-The only question to
be considered in connection with the
change of the county seat may be brief
~ stated thus: Will the gain in conven-
fence to the community be fair equiv
alent for the cost? In other words lis
the play worth the candle?" In this in
terrogatory the whole issue is made up,
with nothing complicated involved in
its decision. The gain in convenience
must be determined by the relative ac-
feasibility of the two competitive Sites
Upon this point this statement may
safely beaccepted as approximately true;
that, if the new location be adopted, the
saving in distance to the upper Parish
people will be less than two miles, while
it will subject those Of the lower Parish
to the hardship of an additional six miles
ride. These figures represent the actual
loss ard gain involved i'll the proposed
change of the courthouse, and put the
gist OF the controversy ina nutshell. And
what is it worth in dollars and cents, this
gain of less than two miles TO one sec.
ton, Offset with loss OF six to another?
