He Accomplished his Purpose.

Late yesterday afternoon. one OF tho
Italian laborers employed by the city TO
clean tho sfraaia waa walk inn alnnn Smith
field Street, in front OF the Central Hotel,
when he sat down very forcibly on slip
cry coal-hoIe grating. Picking himself up
quickly as circumstances would permit,
ho shook his fist ct q crowd OF newsies who
we're laughing at him, and then let loose
volley OF mixedlItalian and American oaths
which almost caused the atmosphere to
assume sulphurous hue
A well.known South-side minister, who
was passing, stopped aminute to expostu-
late with the man, and to explain to him
the wickedness OF swearing uuder such
slight provocation, when he himself step
ped on the treacherous grating. lie
struggled an instant against fate, and then
went down with force almost sufficient
to break the connection between his spinal
column and the back Of bis neck.
The crowd laughed, and the Italian
stopped swearing to JOIN in the merrIment'
The minister didn't, swear, although the
contraction of his countepance indicated
that he wanted TO.
He scrambled to his feet. aud, grasping
the Italian BY the, hand, he said.
| Ny friend, have accomplished my
purpose to induce you to stop swearing
ii vast my way, but guess the Lord say
that il was the only way by which II could
| be done.

A Word to Workers.

If your avocations are mentally or
physically laborious, if they subject you
to. exposure in inclement weather, if
they confine you to the desk, and are
of a nature to involve wear and tear of
brain and nervous strain, you may &C.
casionally require some renovating ton
ic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
article for you, it stimulates the failing
energies, invigorates the body and
cheers the mind. 1t enables the sys-
tenn to throw off the facilitating effects
of undue fatigue, gives renewed vigor
te the organs of digestion, arouses the
liver when inactive, which it very Of
ten is with people whose pursuits are
sedentary, renews the jaded appetite,
and encourages healthful repose. Its
ingredients are safe: and its credentials,
which consist in the hearty endorse
ment of persons of every class Of socie-
ty, are most convincing. Admirably
is it adapted to the medical wants OF
workers.

New Card Game.

The card loving classeS have new
game, which bids fair to pin progressive
euchre to the wall. 1t is decidedly the
jollicst game of cards yet invented. 1t is
called "Hearts," and was brought from
New York few weeks ago by the urbane
George Taylor, commercial tourist of re-
nown, who can sometimes be found around
the Columbie theater. "Hearts" is some
what similar to whist, except that the es-
sential element of the game is to have no
heart left in your hand or in the tricks
that You may have captured at the con-
clusion of the game. The cards are dealt
as in whist suit must be followed. There
is no trump-the idea of each player be-
ing to get rid of all the hearts he may
have and avoid being compelled to take
in any of his ncighbors'. In the effort to
do this consists the fun. Any whist play
er can see how easy he can be loaded up
with his neighbors' hearts if he have long
suits of other cards or high cards of any
kind. At the conclusion of the playing
the player who has been saddled with the
fcwest hearts rakes in the pot, which is
chip for each heart, or thirteen in all.
One beauty of the game is that unlike
whist, one can chatter and talk, and the
dreadful struggle to avoid capturing
hearts leads to no end of merriment. The
game of Hearts will soon be craze
especially among the ladies, for whom it
has very great tascination.-[ Exchange.

Cure for Piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very
disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, is common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itch
ing, and efecting permanent cure.

ONE ELECTION.

Some Of ow exchanges are advoca-
ting the changing of the time of hold
ing our State election, from April to-
November, so as to have the State
come off at the same time the election
for Federal officers is held. We join
in with the move, and call the atten-
ton of our Legislators to the necessity
eff making the change. There is now
no longer, a necessity for holding two
elections in the State in the same year,
as we have nothing more to fear from
Federal office holders and Returning
Boards.
The Constitution expressly grants
the power to the Legislature, and the
best interests of the State require it
to be exercised-at it's next session.
Elections are expressive in more ways
than one; particularly is it disturbing
and imperious to the farming interest
of the country. Held as it is now in
April, it is almost impossible to elicit
that interest in public affairs which is
absolutely necessary, for the safety
and best interest of the State.
BY all means let us have the change.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Capt.
acknowledgements, discussing the road
system, finds these two objections to
the law as it now stands:
l. 1 think the road law as it now stands
accOrds too many exemptions. Principal
ly among them is the preacher clause. As
is well known we have generous supply
of these professors. At every association
goodly numbef of exhorters receive their
ordination papers. These same parties
agriculturists, and earn their living al
most wholly by tilling the soil and use
the public roads for the transportation of
their products to and from market, vet
that paper of ordination is thrust in the
face of the Overseer, with the remark that
"Tse 'zempt from road work" Two years
ago when summoning the hands for duty,
l found nine ordained preachers in my
road section within radius of miles.
2. There is too much unwillingness
shown by the white men to work on the
road. 1t is either through pride or mere
thoughtlessness, but they either send a
negro, a mule or stay at home. Now it is
manifest to all that the colored people see
this, for The principal objection l heard
on the road. was from this cause. Why
don't the white folks come here, too
they travel the road. Let each planter
come out with spade, take three or four
men and work with them, and we will
have good roads. Moreover, it is an en-
cOuragement to the overseer to have them
there, instead of riding or driving by,
stopping only long enough to give an
abundant supply of advice as to how he
would do it if he was in your place."
