DEAR JoURNAL.-I making note inI
your last issue of the frequent violations
of the commonest rules of good breeding
indulgedin SO constantly by some of the
would-be fashionable young people in
this city, YOU have made step in the
right direction that has long been need
ed. love young people, and for that!
reason do all the more regret that com
mcnt is needed on this subject, but it is a
fact that is becoming painfully apparent.
When one takes into consideration the
amount Of kindness. Sclt-denial, and
generosity that is involved in the act oil
giving a large party to ones friends, it |
is as little as could be expected in return
that the lady or Of the house. the hostess,
not her visiting guest or daughter, but
the lady who has prepared this pleasure
tor YOU, shall be the particular stal Of
the evening, and should be madeto feel
that every guest appreciates the honor
done them. But some teel THEN whole
duty is done when, with pre-oeeupied /
air, OF worse still, a cast-iron grin. they
rush up to the hostess. offer their hand. /
say good evening, and never 90 near
her again, perhaps not to recognize her
on the street three days after.
Ignorant persons must learn that at
large entertainments there cannot be
chairs placed for all the guests; there
would be no room to move about, and
splder-egged dudes, who are too weak
to stand up, can lean against the wall or
depend upon their suSpendcrs for sup
port.
Alta recent elegant entertainment some
of these gentlemen were SO afraid that
some of the many ladies standing up
might get their chair while they were
dancing the ''german' that they took
their handkerchiets and tied the chairs
to the chair of their partner. so it would
be safe. saw that performed, and,
looking about, counted seven ELEGANT
refined ladies standing, and about hf-
teen gentlemen (:) setting, and those la
DIES continued to stand The young
men are no more to be blamed, in some
.ol these things, than the young ladies.
they do not, in many cases, accord the
respect due 70 married ladies, and it is a
mistake for, think as they may, the
married ladies hold the key to the situa-
ton II they refuse to entertain. What

There must be a halt called. and TIM :
soon, before the entire system Ibos. :
pitality is destroyed.
AS Tennyson says;
For Launcelot, like anobleknig6t was !
gracious to all ladies.
And then follows this
For manners are not idle. but are The
fruit Of noble minds.
Taking a bird S-eye viewof aIot this,
it reminds one of some New Zeaanders
who were entertained in London by the
celebrated naturalist, Frank auckland.
AS they were taking then departure
they offered to tattoo their host to @-
press their gratitude.

been tattooed by their guests in this CITY,

A bill has been introduced i'm the
House providing for the transfer to the
Government of the swords of the late
Gen. James shields. One uf these is
tne famous sword presented by the
citizens OF South Carolina for di,tin-
guished services in the VA. with Mex-
leo. II Is richly chased and gold
mounted; the hit am, scablurJ are
set with costly stones. This sword is
SAID to have cost not less than $1,000.
and To- tie the most expensive thing of
the kind ever made in thi. country.
The bill recites that the swords are the
property OF AIRS. Shields and her chill
dren, who are living in Missouri in only
molerate circumstances. The articles
cannot be divided. They possess much
historical as well n- intrinsic value, and
the proper place for them is in the
possession of the Government. 1t is
provided that the sum to he paid for
them shall not exceed SlOOU.

". :. SPRINGS, March 2sth, sc.
EDITORS MINERAL Argus:
The fn'>e and malicious statements
which the Rocky Mountain Husband
man has made against the county COM
missioncr-. because they have a pref
u,iice against them, caused by not
receiving the county printing" has
naturally caused Indignation and
anazcmcnt among the public who
.noA how honorably Tire county COM
ini-Sioncrs manage their business.
The commissioners are all men Of good
sound judgment and sense; they need
no husl,andman to dictate to them
what they should do. They know how
much means there is To work on and
have no intention To run the county in
debt.
IL is disgusting for the public to read
every week the sarcasm thrown upon
the county commissioners, which is
found ia the columns of that chicken
paper, the emissions, IF course, OF that
narrow-minded journalist, Robert n.
Sutherlin." Every intelligent citizen
aud taxpayer of Meagher county should
not allow themselves to be mislead by
that degraded sheet.
In last weeks issue the jOurna list
further expresses his opinion 10y run
ming in "A dog, which died lately, and
states he was as popular throughout
the county rs many Of our office ours.
The author Of this expression must be
lower down than u cur himself or else
he would have more respect for him
self and the public. He does not
deserve the patronage Of the public.
BY this time the Husbandman editor
must he under the impression that all
his trouble might have been prevented
by shutting of his blow-pipe at the
proper time and turning his attention
to subjects that are of interest to his
readers.
