Preparations for the Meeting of the
Legislature.
Dire WEST. Oct. IL 1856

COLUMBIA, s. C., Oct. IA special meeting
ernor sheppard, was held at the Governors
Office yesterday. The object of the meeting
was to ascertain II the Board would authorize
the use OF the Agricultural Department build
ing for the uses of the Legislature inthe event
that the request, for, such appropriation
should be made by the proper authorities.
The Board unanimously agreed to allow the
building for the purpose mentioned, and the
Commissioner was authorized tO make any
changes in the construction of the building
that may be necessary to accommodate the
Legislature
There is no provision under the law rcqulr-
ing any one to provide place for the sessions
OF the Legislature, such provision heretofore
being unnecessary, rs the State House hau
been provided for that purpose. but the re-
pairs going on that building render IL unfit
for occupancy. But Gov. Sheppard has as
sumed the responsibility Of securing II proper
place for the meeting of the Legislature, and
finds that there Is no place So well suited for
the purpose ;ls the department of Agricul.
ture building, aud has, therefore, selected
that.

Neatness indispensable.

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various ways,
but if she is not personally neat she can
not hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern. A
young woman with her hair always in
disorder, and her clothes hanging abou'
her as if suspended from a prop, 10 al
ways repulsive. "Slattern" is wristel
on her person from the crown OF heI
head to the soles of her feet, and if sh,
wins husband he will in all probabilit,
turn out an idle fool or a drunken ruf
ian. The bringing up Of daughters to
be able to work, act and talk like homes,
sensible young women, is the especia
task of al mothers, and in the indus
trial ranks there is imposed also the
prime obligation of learning how to re.
spect household work for Its own sake,
and the comfort and happiness it will
bring in the future. House-work is q
drudgery, but it must be done by some.

"DARE TO DO RIGHT"

yhe Managers Temperance Rules, ana
How They We're Enforced with Happy
Results.
"Well, Mr.. Reese, are we to make a
start next Thursday, and turn out the
first bar of railway iron made in these
United States west of the Mississippip"
asked the President of the Vulcan Iron
Works, at St. Louis, Missouri, when
that great establishment was about
ready to commence operations.
Next Thursday is the day fixed
upon, SIR"
"All right, that gives me time to pre-
pare for the guests; there S to be large
number, by the way, and with other
supplies, l must send down several bar
rels of ale."
"I beg pardon, sir, but can not per-
nit ale to be brought here-you observe
nv rules" pointing to a placard for
bidding that anything of the sort be
drank on the premises, land upon their
observance depends our success in set
ting out that first rail next Thursda -
a success which means great de, to
all connected with the Vulcan Iron
Works, sir" glancing at the face of his
superior officer. and noting the look of
half displeasure thereon. MIR. Reese
added:
"You never objected to that notice.
and 1t has been placed where you must
have seen it frequently"
Eyes, yes, l know" impatiently.
"but it's making q deuced unpleasant
position for me, my friends will expect
TO be handsomely treated, and it's
hardly in accordance with our custom
o omit serving ale and wines, at least,
on an occasion of this sort-what can
man doP"
Mr.. Rssse responded with quiet dig
nifty:
"Put yourself in my place for a
moment, as the responsible managed
of two thousand workmen- can l sf-
ford to disregard my own publisher
rulese"

could you not entertain your guests
at your own home, which is but one
mile distant, though quite outside of
these premises, after their visit here is
concludedp This change of programme
involves only little care in arranging
conveyances, ETC., while the first plan
threatens difficulty, and possibly dan
ger, as you'll readily see."
"Thank you, Mr. Reese, yours is o
practical, and must add, wise sug-
gestion, and it shall be carried into ef-
feet"
On that memorable Thursday the
works were opened-the first bar OF
railroad iron formed the visitors
charmed with their tour through the
immense shops their host grstiIied by
their appreciation and evident enjoy
ment as he escorted them to his own
house and grounds.
A bountiful lunch was served to the
workmen, but nothing stronger than
coffee appeared with their feast, and no
apparent dissatisfaction annoyed the
manager.
During the first month the Vulcan
Works reached the capacity of one
hundred tons per day, something which
had never been accomplished up to
that time. Superintendent Reese in
formed the writer that he was troubled
by no disorder or breakages, the men
being sober, obedient and cheerful He
affirmed that these satisfactory results
could never have been achieved but for
the strict enforcement of his rules
against the use of alcohol in any form
by his employees.
This happened, as you know, reader,
years ago, and many other employers
have learned and are learning the wis
dom OF these rules which secure the
services of clear Drained. happy-heart-
ed and strong-bodied helpers.-Mary

Corn for Green Fodder.

Corn, taking all things into consider
alton, is the most profitable crop for
green fodder, and sweet corn is the
most palatable and nutritious on &C
count of the larger quantity ofsoluble
saccharine matter in it. Corn has
also the advantage Of a rapid growth,
and two crops may be grown in one
season by planting an early kind
which natures in two mouths. Mar
ragansett sweet corn is the best vari-
ETY. for this purpose, and if planted in
May is ready Tor use in July, and the
second planting comes in in Septem-
Der. Evergreen sweet corn planted in
July is ready for use in October, and
gives about double the yield OF the
smaller kinds. Branching Durra is a
species OF millet, and while it is an ex-
cellent crop for the South it is not
equal in value to sweet corn for the
North, East, and West.
