The Price of His Gallantry.
Ehoy11 the (bfc0oO Herald

Once in awhile a man gets caugnt in an ex-
ceedingly embarrassing situation and his wits
are taxed to the utmost for a graceful way of
release from his dilemma. Last saturday night,
young man living far out on the wes5 side al
tended little party with his wife. At a late
hour it was found that young lady present
was without an escort, and the gallant married
man kindly volunteered, with his wife's consent,
to take her home. His wife was to await his
return, and he made ready to go. But he could
not find his overcoat His host urged him
to take his aud go. saying chat in his absence
they would look up the missing garment. Well,
he started off gayly and boarded the car. To
his horror he realized that all the change he had
was in his missing coat and that he had not
even a nickel in the Sunday clothes he wore
What to do he could not imagine, but ne finally
excused himself to the lady and went out on the
rear platform. To the conductor, a benevo
lentlooking person. he unfolded the sad tale
and then said: My friend, II you will trust me
for these two fares I'll wach on the corner for
you in the morning and pay you" The con-
ductor laughingly said it all right and the
young man was happy again He took the
young lady home and then ira nped all the way
back after his wife aud missing coat. Both
we're found and the next morning he waited on
the corner two hours to pay the kind conductor
and reward him with cigar.

Let Us Attend to Business.

The election being over, the country will
settle down to business again. The excite
ment of a presidential campaign makes it
almost impossible to give that strict and
continuous attention to business enterprises
which is required to secure success. While
the campaign just closed has had less de-
pressing effect upon business than several
of those which Immediately preceded it, and
although the country has been remarkably
prosperous ever since the present admins
tration came into power, nevertheless bust
ness men generally are doubtless glad that
the presidential question is settled for
another term of four years.
The proper course for the people of the
south TO pursue is to turn their whole atten-
tion to building up their section of the
country and developing its resources. They
are disappointed, of course, over the result
of the election, but there is no use in vast
ing time in bewailing what cannot be
helped, and it is folly to anticipate troubles
which may never come They have been
steadily growing more prosperous since the
close of the reconstruction period, and there
is no reason yet apparent why their pros

devote themselves theoretically to building
up their towns and cities, to establishing
factories and bringing to light the
hidden wealth of their mines,
and to extending their business
enterprises and encouraging their agricult-
ural interests. They have it in their power
to make their section greater and richer
than any other in the union. Their achieve
ments in the last few years indicate what
they can do, and should encourage them to
make still greater efforts for the future
There may arise political difficulties
which may require great patience and
wisdom to overcome, but there is no occa-
sion for seeking such difficulties. When
they actually exist it will be time enough
to consider the best method of dealing with
them

A Motherly Bear Clubbing Off Chest.
nuts for Her Young Cubs.
From the Kingston Freeman.

William Van Bramer of RoDdout related the
following rather risky experience of himself
and J. Sapp in the wilds OF Denning one day
last week:
I'VE were riding along through the most
lonesome and sparsely settled portion OF Ulster
county. and just the border of Sullivan
county with a load of chestnuts and other
country produce All of a sudden I heard a
cracking sound in a large chestnut tree, and l
says to Sapp, Joe, says |, look at that big
darby over there knocking down chestnuts
Joe looked, and as he did SO his hat fell off,
and / declare if his hair wasn't standing
straight on end and he was white as sheet.
"'What the deuce is the matter with you,
Joe?' says l. are you sick? Didn't you never
see darky before?'
You look again. Billy says Joe, that's no
darby. It's bear
"Mell, l took another squint, and sure as guns
it was a bear He sat on his launches on a big
limb of the tree, with his back braced between
two other limbs. and with a 10 foot pole that
bear was knocking off chestnut burrs like
streak of lightning. Two good-sized cubs were
fighting and growing among some rocks under
The chestnut tree for possession OF the nuts as
they fell in shower to the ground 1t was a
comical sight, and not so very frightful after
one got used to 1t, but as had no gun nor any
other weapon of defense along, whipped up
my horse and left Bruin master Of the field"

The Augusta Exposition

The Augusta exposition was opened yesteT-
day, and splendid exposition it is. TIE
immense buildings are filed with exhibits,
the number and variety of which are very
great. 1t is stated, and doubtless truth
fully, that it is the greatest exposition that
has ever been opened at the south, except
the one in New Orleans in 1883
Augusta deserves to have her exposition
we'll patronized, not only because of the
merits of the undertaking, but also because
of the energy, determination and enter
prising spirit which she has displayed in
the matter. She has got the expedition
into shape, but she has done so under very
great difficulties.
The exposition was to have been opened
to the public in October The appearance
of the yellow fever in Florida in August.
however, would, it was thought. interfere
with travel, and postponenent was seri-
| ously thought Of Then the Septem her
flood came and completely overlooked the
city. A postponement became a necessity,
because it would have been impossible &c
put the city in a condition to receive Wis
itors by the date fixed for the opening.
The date OF the opening was finally fixed
for Nov. s, and the citizens went tc
work courageously to erase the marks of
the flood and to put the city in first-class
condition.
The exposition may not be pecuniary
success, but it will be of vast benefit to Au
gusta. Visitors will see the possibilities Of
the city. and capital will seek investment
within her limits. Those who go to the ex-
position will not be disappointed.

The Directory Man.

From the Cincinnati Tintes-Stnr.
The champion uncons :ous funny man is out
in Avondale. where he is getting the names and
statistics for the new HAM ton county direc-
tory. Yesterday he called at the house of a
young couple who have seen just two summers
ard winters pass over their heads since the law
and the gospel made them one.
"IIow Old is vnnr husbandr' asked the direc-
tory man of the wife.
'FH e -Ity-,iN.n
And how old are you:''
Twenty four"
"How long have you been married.
1.-TWO years"
Then Ill tne same cold, far-away, official tone,
asked the next question on the printed list
Have you any grown-up children"
The young wife nearly tainted, the effort was
so great to suppress the hysterical laughter that
possessed her soul, but she managed TO say that
their only child was still in the nature of things,
a baby.
InIs story is almost equal to the tale of the
man who took the census in College Hill. He
called at family where there were twins, and,
after being told their age, he blandly and un-
thinkingly inquired of the dumbtounded mother
whether they were born in toe same state. He
had followed his instructions to the letter. but
in so doing had thrown common sense over
board

Mr.. Edward Atkinson is the foremost
statistician in the country. or at least he is
one of the most persistent. He has been
figuring on the number of people who lay
up from their salary or income any money
worth speaking of, and his conclusion is
that fully 90 per cent of them spend nearly
all they make. "Of this 80 per cent. )" he
says, "a portion may, by setting aside a
moderate part of their small earnings, be-
come the owners of house, or become de-
positors in a savings bank, or insure their
lives in a moderate way. or the remaining
ten per cent, part save enough to protect
themselves against want in their later
years, and a very small part may become
rich, and then need not work unless they
choose

The New York Herald says the Demo-
cratic party has been sacrificed to the am
bition of Gov. Hill and Mayor Hewitt. The
Herald does Gov. Hill an injustice. He
worked faithfully for the national ticket,
and was genuinely Interested in it. Nobody
has heard of Hill men trading with the re.
publicans. No, Gov. Hill is not responsible
in any degree for Mr.. Cleveland's defeat.
The stigma Of having caused the defeat OF
their party seems to rest chiefly upon the
County Democracy and Mayor Hewitt.
