The Many Deceptions and the False slit

Nothing is so clearly apparent 70 the intel
ligent observer of modern society rs the many
receptions and the false glitter which it con
tains. There are social circles into which one
may enter where the false and deceptive find
no place, but these are in the minority

supposes it TO be. How often Is it that we

to a maddening inward jealousy at the gor-

knows not that the china is loaned, the
hostess is ignorant of the unpaid bill of the
dressmalcr. The furniture, heavy portiereS

admiration, and so fixed becomes the atten-

Honor Among Newspaper Correspondents.

Honor Among Newspaper Correspondents.
There is much more honor now among
newspaper correspondents than there has been
in the past, and the most prominent cor
respondents of the country have weekly, in
trusted to them secrets which would have
large money value as news, but which they
in honor, do not use. They hea.' daily ex-
presSions of opinions which would ruin men
who utter them if they were published but
are given in confidence and such confidence
is seldom violated No one understands the
effect of a statement upon the character of
the man interviewed better than the inter
viewer, and good correspondents often with
hold sentiments expressed for publication out
of regard for the future of the man inter
viewed. This, however, is matter of mere
friendship.
If person talks for publication, the cor
respondent has right to report him just as
he talks, whether the words he says be his
political death warrant or the magic sesame
which opens the doors of the presidential
mansion. In reporting private conversation,
however, the correspondent has no right to
use matter which he does not know will be &C
ceptable to the man of whom he talks. If
the correspondent is well known newspaper
man the superstition is that every converse
ton he has is in the line of his business is in
tended for publication, and the public man
should expect to see such a conversation
ported in print without he makes a special
request to the cOntrary.-Frank G.. Carpen-

his gun entirely to pieces and was greasing

looked like a thunder cloud, but neither his

had any effect on the sentinel, who quietly
proceeded to rub piece of his gun.

THE CRIMINALS OF SIBERIA.

Country Full of Tramps-DangerOus
to TraveIers-OhiciaIs Not Attacked.
Siberia is best known to the rest of the
world as the land of exies Since the time
of Peter the Great it has been the place Of
Punishment for those who offend against the
sovereign of Russia and his laws. Ordin-
arily from 10000 to 1900 criminals are sent
there every year; the occasional revOlts in
Poland and the present spread of Nihilism
through the empire add more on less largely
to the involuntary emigration. In some
years 2O,O 900 or 10000 exiles, including Grim
inals and poIiticalS, have been sent to ST.
IBERIA, and OF this great number compare
lively few are ever returned TO Europe 1t
naturally follows that Siberia is filed with
an undue proportion of the criminal classes
Many of the criminal exiles have been
sent there for small offenses, and are conse-
quently of the category of simple detenus, or
detained in the country" They can do
pretty much as they like, as long as they do
not return to Europe; can wander from
place to place, and take any employment that
is open to them. The result is, the country is
full of tramps, and on occasions when there is
a chance of making an honest penny by high
way robbery the tramps not slow to EN-
brace it. In the winter the weather is too
cold for their operations, and they mostly
hibernate in the towns, like the tramps of en-
lightened America 50 that the roads are com
parativoly safe, but if you carry any bag
gage in the rear of your sleigh it must be
fastened with chains, and not with ropes,
which can be cut away. In the spring the
tramps fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
rural strolling, and he continues to wander
till the snow falls again.
1t is in this period that he is dangerous to
the traveller, or, rather, to certain classes of
travellers. He does not attack a government
courier, as he knows he can and probably

sides, the courier does not carry much money
about him. The same reasons apply to trav-
elers of the second class; officers on private
business and not travelling en- courier, and
the game of the Siberian robber consists of
the third class s-merchants-who
are not often armed, and far more likely to
have large sums of money about them than
are the officials Besides, the robbery or
death of an official would rouse a very un-
pleasant hue and cry, while the same caIanl-
ity to merchant would Bowel, it would

Many persons have wondered that all
animals seem to possess an instructive
knowledge of swimming, and that man
alone lacks this gift. 1t is not necessary
that person knowing nothing of the art
of swimming should drown, if he will
depend upon the powers for selfpreser.
vation with which nature has endowed
him. When one of the inferior animals
takes the water, falls or is thrown in, it
instantly begins to walk as it does when
out of water. But when man who cannot
"swim" gets into the water he makes q
few spasmodic struggles, throws up his
hands and drowpS. The brute, on the
other hand, treads water, remains on the
surface, and is virtually insubmergible..
In order, then, to escape drowning, it is
necessary to do as the brute does, and
that is to tread or walk water. The brute
has no advantage as to his relative
weight, in respect to the water, over man,
and yet the man perishes while the brute
lives. Nevertheless, any man, any wo
man, any child, who can walk on the
land may also walk in the water just as
readily as the animal does, and that
without any prior instruction or drilling
whatever. Throw dog into the water

water instinctively, whereas man has 10

Twenty, occupied by his lonely wife and
little children. The Tories, ever on the
alert, learned of his return, and, after
nightfall, went to the humble retreat Of
the brave man to "bag their game"
Not so, however the house had but one
door and no windows: the courageous
partner of his reverses aud successes
knew that her all depended upon the safe
exit of her husband from that trap. She
obstinately parlied with the traitor band
at the door until her husband, with rife
n hand, had time to escape through the
fireplace, up the low, dirt chimney.
There being but one door and no win
dows, the Tories thought, of course, there
was no possible means of escape. This
was but one of the many adventures
that Mr.. Pickens had in those troublous
times, only small part of the unwritten
history of Anderson County.

We can not too often urge upon our
people the Importance of sending regu-
larly to school. How hard is it for us in
the country to learn this lesson! We
must be pardoned and must beg credit
for honesty of purpose when we say that
in nine cases out of ten, the irregular
attendance of children upon school du.
ties is attributable to sheer ignorance on
the part of the parent. Of course, there
are some children whose circumstances
will not allow them to attend school
regularly. Such cases are the excep-
tions, and, of course. such are excusable; /;
but when boy is allowed to remain at
home two days in the week, and for no
other reason than to crafty his childish
whim, or that be may go on an uunecces'
sary errand, the plans OF the teacher are
frustrated, and the progress of the child
and his whole future are seriously and
unnecessarily interfered with. 1t is an
easy matter for one who is, at best, indif.
erent to the education of his children, to
hatch up frivolous excuse for keeping
them from school. Such ought not so to
be. 1t is an injustice to the child, and
an injury to the common country.
