New Discoveries.

An interesting paper has been read to
the Royal Geographical Society by Mr..
John stearns, who, two years ago, under.
took at bis own expense journey Of
exploration through 9 corner of Brazil
about which hitherto little has been
known. This district is in the valley of
the Bio Doce, and although it is within
.250 miles of Rio de Janeiro, lis
natives are cannibals. They still wander
about without clothing, and seem to be
as little civilized as it is possible to
imagine. They have no religion, and
the only time that they seem to acknowl.
edge a superior Power is when a thunder
storm bursts over them, when they throw
fire into the air to appease the wrath Of
the Great Spirit. The reason why this
district has not been benefited by ciYiliza.
tion is, that settlers have passed it by :; for
the river already named is useless for
navigation on account Of its being inter-
sected by falls and rapids; moreover,
hitherto, tribes of fierce Indians have
inhabited the dense forests by which the
country ia surrounded. It is probable
that this neglected district may be opened
up now that this explorer has made
knowa 30 much about it. Its chief pro.
duct is rosewood, which ne need hardly
say is of great value.

i Tribnte to the Rel. . Headed Girl.


/ once knew man who had a fashion
in sweethearts. He went on the color of
the hair. He would dote on red haired
girl for awhile, and he would pay no
attention to any other. Then he would
switch off to. brunettes and worship the.
different shades in turn. he would have
a spring revulsion to pure blondes, and
change with the season. AS nearly as I
could make out his spring girl was q
blonde: OF; ;blonGes, and he would work up
to a brown.haired girl in summer, red
haired girlsin autumn and deep bru-
nette for winter. His Judgment was in
favor Of the red-haired girl.
The red haired girl is often and
severely guyed, but she gets there all the
same. There is something about red
haired girl that compels attention
whether you ses white horse or not.
You have to look at red hair. You
can't avoid it; and q red-haired girl is
like a FIRE; you can't get your eyes away
from the blaze. I am told red.haired
girls make good wives. The man who
told me married red-haired girl, and I
know he goes home early and is very
attentive and devoted.
Common Judgment comedies from q
study Of the species that q red.haired girl
would be liable to make q husband good

Boycottlng the Bagging Trust.

GREENv1LLE, S. O., Sept. 3.-The
Grange of Westminster, Oconee County,
have taken an important step 10 the
fight of the farmers. against the Bagging
Trust, and one which will probably
largely influence the handling of the
cotton crop in this section. Theo. D.

baled in any shape that would not injure

being compressed the covering material
is matter of indifference to factory men.
Taking advantage Of this the Oconee
farmers propose to pack their crops in
some other material, probably thin, cheap
cloth, protected by thin pine Stats inside
and have it sampled in Westminster or
Seneca by an agreement of the mills, and
then shipping direct to them. In this
way they believe they can not only be
independent of the bagging combine,
|but save some of the middlemen's profits
lby selling direct to the factories. The
step is regarded as an important one here,

The Sabbath Stronger Than Armies.

Count Montalembert, one of the most
eminent statesmen, once wrote: aMen
are surprised sometimes by the ease with
which the immense city Of London is
kept ins nsorder by q garrison Of three small
battalions and two squadrons, while to
control the capital Of France, which is
half the size, 10000 troops Of the line and
10000 national guards are necessary.
But the stranger who arrives ia London
on a Sunday morning, when he sees
everything suspended in that gigantic
capital lin obedience to God-wbeu, in
the center Of that colossal business he
finds silence and repose scarcely inter.
rupted by the bells which call to prayer,
and by the immense crowds on their way
to. church-then his astonishment ceases.
He understands that there is another
curb for q Christian people besides that
made BY bayonets, and that when the
law Of God is fulfilled with such a solemn
.submissiveness, God himself, if I dare
,usethe words, charges himself with the
police arrangements

Courage, weary Mother.

take care of baby and plan the meals and

Take courage, weary mother. The pro.
gress Of the world depends on the devotion
of good women to just such "trifes."
Who can do a greater work than these:
care for a child aud look after the interests
Of home? She who with patient
motherslove prepares human soul for
life responsibilities does valiant service
for both God and man. The FIRST years
of child's life must Of necessity be
devoted to the care Of the body. but the
body should be made a fit temple for
the indwellipg of an immortal soul.
Taking care of the baby is surely no
triHe when viewedin this light.
And what are the other services that
20 to make a home? Innumerable as
the sands of the seashore for number, and
in themselves almost as Insignificant in
character, but the grand sum total serves,
as does the sandy shore, to stem the
swelling tide of outside sin and suffering
that menaees with sullen war the sauctity
of home and the safety Of society. The
husband and the children who know the
comforts Of a happy home are safe from
many woes that prey on those outside its
shelter. Blessings on the wife. and
mother who "looketh we'll to the ways of
her household and eateth not the bread
ofidleness.'' "The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her" "Her children

and honor are to be her clothing, and
she shall rejoice in time to come. ."-l0sOa

The Little High Chair.

There was an auction at one of the
down.townauction houses recently. a
pale, sad faced woman, in q plain calico
gown, stood in crowd. The loud.
voiced auctioneer at last came to 9 los .of
plain. and somewhat worn furniture. II
had belonged to the pale woman and
WAS being sold to satisfy the mortgage on
it. One by one che articles we're sold,
the old bureau to one, the easy rocker to
another, and the bedstesd to third.
Finally the auctioneer hauled out a
child's high chair. It was old and
;rickety, and as the auctioneer held it up
everybody laughed everybody except
the pale.faced woman, and q tear trickled
down her cheek.
The auctioneer saw it, and somehow 4
lump seemed to come in his throat. And
his gruf voice grew soft. He rememI |

how it had once filled his lifewith sun.

ItiWas empty now. The baby laugh,
the two little hands that we're once held
out to greet paps from that high chair,
were gone forever. He saw the pale.
faced woman's piteous looks, and knew
what it tmeant, knew that in her eye, the
little high.chair was more precious than
had been made Of gold and studded
with diamonds.
In Imagination he could see the little
.dimpled cherub which it once held, could
see the little chubby first graping the.tin
rattle box and pounding the chair full Of
lnicks; could see the little feet which
had rubbed the paint off the legs; he

Then he handed the clerk 8 bill out Of

down her cheeks. The crowd stood back

- Bill Arp explains, in recent letter
to the Atlanta Constitution, that in old
time military musters "the Governor mas
the commander-in chief, but as he could
not be personally present, the military
were reviewed by proxy. Every county
had an aid.de camp with the rank Of
colonel. He held his rank and title as long
the Governor held his Office, and he was
expected to holler for him and talk for
him and boom him, and, if necessary, he
must fight for him on suitable occasion.
If the Governor failed of re election,
these colonels had to retire too, and q
new set were appointed, but the old set
never lost their title, and 80 the State in
course of time got pretty full of colo
nels."
Little girls who don't like to 60 to
school should live in China ;zlittle boys
who don't like to go should keep away
from the Celestial Empire. There the
girls do not have to 60 at all, and the
boys begin when they are 6 years old.

when it is too dark to read. There are
no vacations, no half.holidays, and not
much fun of any sort.
