Of the Republican iron manufacturers
and business men, to make arrangements
for the reception Of James G. Blaine on
October 20. Chairman B. F. Jones, Of the
National Republican Committee, de-
clineh TO serve rs chairman Of the Rccep-

Blaine for the Presidency in 1855. He
said Mr.. Blaine was not coming here fer
personal aggrandizement but to help
the Republican party in, Pennsylvania,
and that it was a question whether he
cared to pass through another Prcsidcn-
tial siege, and for his part he. was salts
fed that he did not.

The Atlantic, Greenville and Western
Railway Company.

Editor Enterprise and M0untdtmecr :
AS certain statements have been made
by officers Of this Company as to its
financial condition, which statements
have been published in the newspapers
and commented upon by the press gem
orally, I think it due to the members of
tho Board Of Directors and to the stock
holders that the latter shall know all the
fac's upon which the Board Of Directors
acted. and the information and represen-
tations that influence their action.
At the rccen: meeting Of the stock
holders at Ninety-Six on the 18th OF
September, it was announced by the
t%reasurcrs and vicepresident, (who is
also the chief engineer,) that the assets
Of the Company would not be sufficient
to complete the grading Of the road. That
the deficiency will be moro than $780,
600. This was a surprise to the Board
of Directors and to the stockholders. On
the 18th Of July las (two months before
tho meeting alluded toy the following
statements were furnished me. One by
Mr.. r. M. Pope, Treasurer, Of the
assets Of the Company and the other
by Mr.. w. j. Kirk, Vicc-Prcsident,
(who is also chief engineer.) These
estimates were furnished at my request,
MS reliable data, for In" to furnish to the
citizens Of Augusta, where I was going
to meet an engagement made with them
by the Vice-Prcsident to represent the
the claims Of the road to Their considerat-
ion. These statements were thus used by
me. They are now in my possession aad
are in the hand writing Of the officers
named. The statement Of thestreasurer
ofithe township subscriptions is known
to be correct, The individual subscrip-
tons are not doubted, therefore his
statement must be substantially correct.
The estimates of the chief engineer OF

The Cat Smiled sereneIy.

Some weeks ago amateur photography
was the rage among the young ladies Of
New York society. Nearly every one of
them had an instrument, and some of
them were very proficient in the art.
But fashionable young ladies soon tire
of any pastime, no matter how interest
ing it may be at first; but they have got
hold of an amusement now which has
something of the risk of Wall street in
it, and which is occupying the attention
of large number of them. Instead Of
q Photographic apparatus they have in
cubators, and are trying to see which
one will hatch out the most chickens in
q given time. They do not all of them
have rooms built especially for this in
cubating process and are sometimes put
to for place to put up their apparatus.
One young lady whom knew had the
incubator in her bedroom, and put 8
hundred eggs in it; the result-eight
chickens. OF these she was as proud as
any old hen. But what to do with
them was something Of question. She
couldn't keep them in her bedroom, SO,
as the weather grew milder, she brought
them downstairs and put them in her
back yard one day and left them there
for q minute while she went into the
house for some bread-crumbs to feed
them with. When she came back she
saw sleek old tabby-cat sitting on the
fence with the latest and most prom
Using of her chicks in his wicked claws.
It was too late to do anything, for the
chicken that had been Matched through
80 much circulation was dead, and the
brute of a cat was feasting off it The
young lady could find nothing in the
yard to throw at it, so she flew into the
house and brought out handful of coal
from the scuttle. These with her own
fair hands she threw at the cat, but Il
you ever saw a young woman throw a
stone you know that the cat was safe.
She hit the fence two or three times, but
:he cat only looked down and licked his
chops and smiled.-BoStoa1 Gazette.

A Pretty How.D,xe-Do.

A well-known and wealthy manufac-
turer, Dubot, of Paris, has had young
clerk in his employ for two years, with
whose services and behavior he has
been greatly pleased. In fact, so much
had the young man endeared himself to
his employer that he was taken into the
family circle, and permitted to enjoy
the society of his daughter, blooming
miss of seventeen summers. Some
time last month NJ. Dubot sent for his
trusted clerk, and said to him confid-
ingly: ''You are a handsome, clever,
and industrious young man. My Min
ME is but IL years old, and you please
her much. She has a dover left her by
her deceased mother of 100000 francs
(S20, OOO.) If you have mind to marry
her we will arrange the wedding before
Lent"
The young clerk, known to his en-
ployer as Ernest Lamotte. turned pale
at this kind proposition. and was 81
lent. Upon recovering himself he in
quired: "Have I satisfied you in the
performance of my duties during the
two years have remained with youp''

tonished. Taking his worthy clerk by
the hand he reassuringly replied: %
