MEXICAN
Permitted to Make Love Only With Their
Eyes.
in Boston Journal.

Letter in Boston Journal.
The streets of Mexico are, in a meas
ure, unlike those of any other city we
have so far visited. Straight, wide and
lined with handsome houses two or
three stories high, almost invariably OF
stone and lighted by large windows
opening upon small stone balconies, 1T
loses something of the English charac-
ter which the narrow lanes OF blank
adobe walls give the lesser towns, but
gains a corresponding richness. These
little balconies, ornamented often by
carvings and always by balus-
trades of wrought iron often bright
ened by gliding and color, and
shaded by linen awnings, make q fea-
ture in themselves. Here on Sunday
and fete days, as we'll as toward evening.
the youth of the city gathers in the full
dress of private life, and the stolen CLAN
ces, which form the only intercourse al
lowed between the sexes, flash back and
forward between youth and maiden.
Even deprived OF the opportunity for
interchange of VOWS, for hand-clasping
and te der greeting it is elf-evident
that a young Mejicana, true to the tradl-
tions of her Castilian forebears, can
make as much havoc with her anguish
ing dark eyes and the softly huttering
fan which supplements them, as any
other girl arrayed in the full
rational outfit of courtship. This is
true, of course, only when she, as al
ways should be but seldom is, happens
to be beautiful. The pretty girls are
exquisite, the slender oval of the face,
the rich olive of the cheek, the long,
sweeping, dark lashes of the suberb
eyes, glowing at nee with passion and
tenderness, the low forehead with its
ripping mass of dusky hair, the slen-
der neck, the 1.-the form, the spring
step and the dainty foot make them
like a poets dream of darkly brilliant
loneliness, not to be measured by any
type with which we have been hereto
fore familiar. But nature is owe
lavish, and the number of these SPLEEN
did creatures is as few as their projections
are many. Remembering the streets at
home after the Friday afternoon rehear-
sal filled with the fragile, fowerlike
bloom of winsome but delicate girlhood,
its brave eyes looking the world full in
the face, with that mixture of innocence
and holiness whichis the hybrid blossom
modern civilization, these shy, but rich
specimens, as rare as they are wonder
full, look few indeed. Their perfection
is offset by an equally pronounced ugli-
ness on the part of the many, and young
womanhood changes into faded middle
age even sooner than with us-which is
saying a great deal. Nevertheless the
graceful mantilla, which is yet almost
universally worn in the street, but
which is unfortunately beginning to
give way to the ugly stiffness of the
French hat and bonnet, gives to many
plain face such a soft and effective bacl
ground that one brings back from
walk only a piquant and pleasing ex
preston. If the Mexican women knew
what they were about they would clinl
to this becoming head-dress as they
do their faith; the sex has no right t,
set aside such a charming accessory.

An Ashantee Gentleman.

From the Chronicle of No Mans land.
The Ashantee gentleman has neither
a flat nose nor thick lips nor ebony
skin. To take Bossoonoga as aspeci-
men, he is not darker than many Span
iards, has features of the European
cast and an eye hat protrudes in the
manner admired by French people and
called a fuer de tete. His dress, ven

acle of taste, unequaled since the Ro-

of "cloth" it iss a cotton print, home
spurs and home dyed. Your native
gentleman, whether from East or West,
would not condescend to wear Man
| chester stuffs. and he is c~onspicuously
right. To see Bossoonoga was to see
q picture Of antique grace. It was a
marvel how he kept so clean that sheet

4Ionors to AbheYilIc Men.

We publish q notice this week that Mr.. j.
Altheus Johnson has received an important
appointment in one of the Departments at
Washington. The appointment was given to
him on the ground of personal merit. Able
VILE is proud Of SO distinguished Il son.
Mr.. JGhnson's appointment is the moro re-
markable in that the vacancy has been
known to the army Of office-scekers since the
18th ultimo., and that several States, more
evenly divided politically than South Caro-
lima, were there in the persons of their &C.
credited representatives clamoring for the
place. The places in Washington not covered
b. the Civil Service law, which are to be dis
tributed among the States, are comparatively
few; hence the great struggle for Il vacancy
in such q place as the one Mr.. Johnson has
just been selected to fill.
Another Abbevillc man is treated with dis
tinguished consideration. The notice that
we published two or three weeks ago inform,
ed our people that Mr.. w. w. Vance, a tall
4nted young lawyer of this county, whose
home is in Louisiana, was nominated by the
leading paper Of Bossicr Parish for State Sen
ator.
Mr.. j. Colin Moore is editor and publisher
of a most excellent paper in Alabama.
Abbeville men always stand well. Cheers
for Johnson, Vance and Moore.

The Bank.

1t affords us pleasure to note that, except
one thousand dollars, all of the first install
ment Oh the subscribed stock of the National
Bank ha: been paid in yesterday afternoon.
MI. Barnwell informed us that the remaining
unpaid thousand dollars would be paid this
morning in time to be sent to Washington to
secure bills and the permit 10 do business. 1t
is expected that the permit will be received
in ten days from this day, and that the print
ed bills will be received about the tenth Of
January.
The Bank is now an assured fact, and our
people are anXlously waiting to see it ready
for business. or the 81, 090 which has been
paid in only about half will be sent to Wash
ington for United States bonds, The remain
der will be used in the banking business as
occasion may require. The capital stock is
small for the business which a county like
opinion that the directors before long will
have to open their books for additional capt.
tai. The history Of all country banks since
the war is such that Il bank with officers like
ours, will offer rare induccment for all per-
sons who desire to invest their money where
a safe return will be realized at stated inter.
vals. We give it as our individual opinion
that ladies, preachers, or other men who are
not in the active struggles and pursuits OF
life, will find the stock of the National Bank
at Abbcville most desirable. 1t will be a safe
investment, which Will yield a certain income
that will be paid according TO promise. The
interest on money loaned to the average debt
or IS often not collected without trouble or
vcXatious delays. Avoid these troubles by
investing in bank stock. If the bank officers
will not sell additional stock, then negotiate
for stock already in the market.
One of the chief advantages which our PEG.
pie in the village and in the county, will dc.
rive from the bank is the safe place of deposit
for money and other valuablcs which ii
offers to the people free Of change.

MOrmOniSrn or Divorce.

The Mormon missionaries who have been
prospecting in Grecnvillc county grew bold
enough to preach within eight miles Of the
city one day last week. The fact that the
more ignorant and uncultured classes. afford
material for them to work upon iSetll the
stronger reason that the people should rise up

And what would you do with the intelli-
gent portion Of the community that would
enact q divorce law? AS between divorce
and polygamy there can be no question as to
which is the greater evil. The Mormon al.
ways takes care of all his wives, while the
divorce law is to authorize the husband to
send all former wives adrift. He is required
to support, care for, and protect only the last
conquest.

Able Defender OF the Peoples Rights

Mr.. Parkcr's enrncstncss and zeal In pre-
senting the Prohibition bill in the Lcgisla-
ture must be truly gratifying to every citizen
who is Interested in the movement. He has
done his full duty III the effort to keep prohi'
bition out of politics. and it is hoped the anti
prohibitionists may not force an ISSUE which
they themselves so much deplorc.
Mr.. Parkcr's bill which was rc.committcd to
the Judiciary committee has been again IA
vorably reported upon, and ii is quite likely
thut the bill will be definitely disposed of one
way or the other before the end of The ses.
sion.
If Nj. Parker is defeated in his effort in be-
half Of the people. they will take charge OF
the matter next ummer themselves, when
the majority Of the voters will elect delegates
to the Legislature representing their peculiar
views on this question.
1t occurs to US that it is a high handed meas
ure for any Legislature to refuse the reaSona-
bic request of one thousand of the best cltl'
zcns of Abbevillc or any other county.
Mr.. Hcmphill, Mr.. Bradley and Mr.. Blake
supported Mr.. Parkcr's bill by words and by
votes.

Are the Members Of the General As.
Seubly Masters of thp PEOPLE?

Elsewhere in the Press and Banner we pre-
sent Il most interesting account of the debate
in the House of Representatives on The ques'
ton us TO whether the Legislature would
grant the people The right Of saying whether
the sale of liquor should be licensed. This
debate arose upon the petition Of athouStnd
citizens of .Abbcvillc county who prayed the
General Assembly to submit the matter to
them.
The Legislature was not asked to consider
the merits of The question of licensing the re.
failing o%fliQuors. That body was merely ask.
ed TO give the people the right to settle the
matter tor themselves. Only this and moth,
ing more. But it seems that a large number
of our lawmakers think they are capable OF
determining the important question for theil
constituents.
If the Legislature should persist in denying
the people the right to a respectful hearing o.
their petition, the whiskey men will ncccssa.
rily force the question into politics next year
when the question will be mcasurcs-not mon
If our Legislators in Columbia should con
clude to allow us 10 settle the question among
ourselves the disturbing question will not
take a political shape, and the candidates be-
fore the people then will scarcely be affected
by any opinions which they may hold, but II
we are to AVE q prohibition campaign on
principle, and not men, then the men will be
lost sight of in the contest.
The idea of holding up the negro as a "scare
will not effect much. Recently the
s~trictest Of the Democrats-General HagOod
did not disregard the negro vote on the tax
question at Aiken. In Atlanta both the "dry'
and the "wct' side set a value on the negro's
vote.
The people of Abbeville county will nc
doubt notice Representative McAIaster's re-
quest that they attend to their W business
They will very likely see to it that it is thcil
own business, and they will he pretty sure tc
look after this temperance question.
From our way Of looking at the action OF
the Legislature, that body has assumed much
in denying the reasonable request of our good
citizens.

A few days ago Il bill was introduced In the
Legislature making a large appropriation for
the Columbia canal, to which was appended q
condition that the sum was to he Fcplaccd by
the earnings of the convicts. Last Friday the
Columbia Register in speaking of the !Agricul-
tural Department uses these words:
at is only necessary to know that the de-
partment does not cost the taxpayers OF the
State Il cent to relieve it entirely of an antagN
niSm which arises from the ignorance OF this
tact. The whole support of the department
arises from the inspection fees paiu by tho
manufacturers OF fertilizers"
We have no objection at all, to the ".Agricul'
tural Department. and we have no objection
to the appropriation to the State Fair, provided
that institution ceases to be an authorized
corporation to license every class of trickSters
10 go there and ply their games of robbery up
on the honest farmers Of the country who arc
induced to 60 upon the grounds.
What We object to is, no matter how honest
the uttcrance, is what appears TO us to he {
poor effort at the conccallncnt of a fact. The
agricultural department, and every other de-
partmcnt, is obliged to cost somebody some
thing. The State has no way of getting tho
services of anybody without cost If the Ag
yicultural Department costs nothing at all, i
is certainly worth nothing. We believe tina
it does cost, but we believe that 1t is worth
much more than it costs, and we further be
licve that department should be taken care o.
by the Legislature.
AS for returning the money appropriated fo1
the canal out of future proceeds from the scr
vices of the convicts: The State is entitled tt
all the fees, or wages earned by the c~onvicts
From whence then is this money to come from
that is to replace appropriations by the Legis'
lature? Is it not simply taking the State:
money to pay the loan? Is not the PROPOSE
ton to replace the none appropriated for tho
canal, out of money realized from the service:
of the convicls, made only for the sole purpose
of pulling the wool over the eyes of the mos
ignorant class of citizens. Certainly anybody
that has intelligence enough to read a ncwsp
per will not be deceived by any such ciaptrap
We say then, make the appropriations fo1
the canal just as any other appropriations arr
made. Don't insult our common sense, by
telling us that the money will be replaced by
taking the States own money to pay the STATE
back.

Let the Bench alone, save where it can be

potent or under undue control Of any outside

On the same principle, suppose We keep the
Governor and other State officers in office for
life or during good behavior. We see no force
whatever in the blind superstition that would
force us to ~rc.clcct an old officer when there
was a more acceptable or a more efficient cam
didate for The position. There is Il deal Of CT
ror and inconsistency in calling for a NEW
DEAL for all the offices, except that of Judge.
The office of Judge IS q most important one,
