"Yes, the lat" Emery A. Storrs was a

something similar. The budding attor-

DRIVE-WIfIST.
A Game that Is Taking tho Place OF Pro-
gresslvo Euchre.

Drivc-whist is raging in the East as
progressive cuchrc ragged in the West
last season. 1t has been introduced in
q limited number of Detroit homes by
ladies and gentlemen, who practiced It
while visiting Boston. New York. and
Philadelphia friends. Drivo-whist is
not very unlike progressive euchre in
its general form. Any number of tables
may be brought into the game; one
hand is played, and then the couple
change tables, advancing in rotation,
rs in progressive cuchre; only in drive
whist tho same partner is kept through
out the evening Then, again, it is
more social because each couple must
in the course Of the evening meet with
and play every other couple in the room,
unless, OF course, there are more couples
than there are hands played; but, rs it
is possible to play from thirty to thirty
five hands between the hours of 8 and
1890 o'clock, the last contingency ia
not likely to arise. Players assert that
the game is very fascinating.
To play drivc-whist, the host or
hostess must procure score cards in
suihcicnt number so rs to provide each
couple with one. These score cards are
made like dancing programmes to be
fastened by cord, and give 8 space at
the top for the lady's name and address,
and opposite, the gcntleman's name
whose partner she is. Below the card
is ruled in spaces SO that there is one
column for points won, another for
points lost, and third for the names of
your opponents. The manner Of choos-
ing partners for the evening is left to
the ingenuity of the hostess, and differ
ent ways are adopted. Ono is to write
the gentlemen's names on the score
cards Conc name on each card) and then
let the ladies draw one card each.
When partners are once selected they
are kept throughout the evening. The
cards are dealt and one hand is played.
At tho end one couple at each table has
won number of points and the other
couple has lost. The gentlemen then
make record, each on his own card, OF
the points won or lost, with the names
of the other couple. The losing couple
at the table then change places, each
going to the next table, and the losing
couple at the head table going to tho
vacant place at the foot. Another hand
is dealt and played, another record
made. another change of positions fol-
lows, and the game goes on. At the
close, of the game, when the number Of
hands previously decided upon have
been played. each couple adds together
all tho points won and all lost, and this
determines the difference. The couple
that has won the greatest number of
points is entitled to the head prize, and
the couple that has lost the greatest
number OF points gets the foot prize.
The prizes are provided by the host or
hostess, or if a club meets to play it pro-
cures prizes from its club fund for that
purpose. The score cards are given to
the ladies at the completion of the game.

a DREADFUL TRAGEDY.
Mysterious Wife, Murder and Suicide by 4
Stranger Nine Orphans.

A horrible tragedy occurred at Pied
mont, Greenville county, last Wedncs.
day morning. James w. King, q
resident of Piedmont, after accomra.
nling to the depot his brother-in-law,
Phillips, who took the up freight train,
returned TO his dwelling in the village,
murdered his wife by stabbing her ia
the breast and throat with Knife, and
after this bloody deed cut his own
throat.
Parties who suspected something
wrong broke open the door OF their
room and found Mrs. King lying in a
pool of blood, and her husband lying
across her, both dead, and the knife
living on Kings breast. What led to
this dreadful event seems to be wrap
ped in mystery. Evidently King and
his wife did not live happily together
a circumstance creating this belief is
that King had recently notified mer-
chants Of Piedmont not to let his wife
have goods OH his account. King
earned his living by dilching, and
some of his children worked as opera
tives in the Piedmont factory. But
little can be learned of the people.
They came to Piedmont as strangers
from North Carolina. 1t is surmised
that King had some family trouble,
and had become insane when he com
mittcd the awful tragedy. King was
about forty-tivc or fifty years OF age.
They leave, it is said, nine children
several of them very young.

A correspondent of the Albany Jour-
nal writes: \ very bright young lady
who has been living in Boston several
winters was invited TO hear lecture on
"Glacicrs' at the Natural History rooms
All the Harvard professors and scientific
people were present, and after the
"Glacicrs" Il paper on PacoZoic insects
was read by 5. III. Scuddcr Of Cam

cntomologist, and he rushed through a
long list of scientific tcchnicaliticS. de-
scribing the difference between the Pale
ozoic insects and the insects of the pres
cnt day, their gradual cvolutions from
period to period, and ended by stating
that cockroaches were tho only insects
which remained unchanged and as
primarily created. In fact, they were
the Oldest specimens of insects known
to man. When Mr.. Scudder concluded,
Harvard professor smilingly asked
this young lady how she had enjoyed
the lecture; go. very much, was the
response. II don't understand much
about bugs, but it is very interesting to
know that cockroachcs arc almost as

"A NIcrcifuI Man.

"The merciful man is mercifu to his
beast" Yet how many farmers, and
especially farmers boys. after heating a
team in driving to tho village, think no.
thing of letting them stand about the
streets for hours ut time, perhaps with
not even n blanket, while they are Cos
siping near warm stove or taking ex-
ercise about their ordinary business.
A citizen of Kalamazoo, Mich, got a
happy thought and, being a humane
man, acted on it. Noticing the exposure
of teams coming to tho city, especially
mined to give farmers an opportunity to
their stay. He purchased land just off
the principal street and proceeded with
his undertaking. He was made the sub
ject of many jokes from all quarters for
his 'foolish enterprise" but he went on
and carried out his plan, and to-day
there is nothing in Kalamazoo so popu-
lar with country people coming to tho
city on business as the farmers sheds

Sundays these sheds are filled. Ladies

He Had Consulted His Directors,

"A large proportion OF the cotton-mill
property in Spindleville is, rs everybody
knows, in the hands of the Haughton
family, who got it through the marriage
of one of the daughters of the family to
the man who started the mill business
there. When he died the property,
through series Of perfectly natural
steps, passed into the control of the
Haughtons Daniel Haughton. the head
of the family, was man of great ma
tural shrcwdncss and strength of char
actcr. His two brothers. Jacob and
Jchicl, were always associated with
him; but, while his business proceed
ings were understood to be with their
advice and consent, Daniel always held
a sort of veto power over his brothers,
and nothing was ever passed over his
veto. He is dead now, but the story of
the way in which he used to consult
his directors is still told in Spindle
vile.
One day cotton-b broker called at the
Office of the mill of which Haughton
was treasurer, and offered him big lot
OF cotton at q certain price
This is so large a contract" said
Haughton, "that really ought to con-
suit my directors about it. They're in
side, and I'll just step in and consult
them
Jacob and Jchcl were in the inner
office. Daniel went in and explained
the proposition to them and said
"Wcll, Brother Jacob, do you think
we had better buy that cottonp"
"No, | don't think we had Brother
Daniel; not at that price"
"Wcll. Brother 'IIiel, what do YOU
think we had better do about itp"
81 shouldn't buy it, Brother Daniel;
not by any means"
"Oom!" said Daniel
llaughton went back to the outer
office, where the cotton-broker was
waiting.
"Well, SIR" said he to the man, ave

that cotton at the price you named"
