This leaves a little balance for any
thing else that may be found neces-
sary. . The list provides for the best
quality of everything, except the
shoes and the silk. But at 50 yard
black silk can be bought of really
rich and heavy texture and guaran-
teed not to wear shiny, and it is pos
sible to get good quality Of silk at
$1.25 or S1.50, while cashmere, in

The Professors success.

The professor was happy at last. After
years of thought, experiment and bitter dis
appointment he believed that he had finally
succeeded in psrfecting his invention. He
had come 20 very near success scores Of
times only to fail; but now he felt assured
that everything was complete and the final
test was to be made.
This idea of the professors was curious
one, and he had labored patiently over IL for
wears in secret, his faith in ultimate triumph
serving to carry him through his many dis
mai failures. The device, as I have said,
was . curious one. It was oontrivance
which, when placed In the hat of man and
worn on his head, would indicate truthfully
that persons thoughts. It was a simple, in
offensiye-looking article, closely resembling
sheet of white paper, and so very innocent
was its appearance that 1t could be placed in
the hat of even the most wary without crea-
ting any suspicion. But this must neceEsari-
fy be done with caution, and when extracted,
by the initiated only could be read the HER
oglyphics on the white sheet-the thoughts
Of the waarer of the hat.
What advantage the realization of his idea
would be to mankind in general the professor
had not stopped TO inquire. He had been
too much absorbed for that; but he was not
the kind of man who would utilize his
newly acquired power to nsighbor's disad-
vantage He was too refined to be indeli-
cateIy inquisitive, and too Indifferent to his
neighbora to care much about them in any
way. His invention must be success FIRST,

There may be new South, but some of
the old southerners haven't heard of 1t.
General Pierce NJ. B. Young is one of them,
At confederate reunion at GreenYills,
South Carolina, the other day, he said among
other things:
People may make you believe that there is
q new South, but such is not the case. There
may be a new ship, but the old captain is on
the quarter deck and the old pilot at the
helm. You may talk about your aew South,
but who Is now the governor of the Old Do
minion but the splendid Fits Hugh Lees
Who is the governor of South Carolina but
the chivalrous and patriotic Richardsona
Who is the governor of Georgia but the gall
liant, the devoted Gordoni And who Is gov
ernor of Missouri but the brave Marmadukei
All of them are the comrades of the old
South. In commerce, too, we. find the ex-
confderates at the head, Green, Alexander
and Logan being railroad magnates, and in
every other commercial industry we find vet
Grams in the lead. In the Senate, among
others, we we find the gallant and magnif-
cent Hampton, the chivalrous, glorious and
excellent Butler. In the House we have fly
seven "rebel soldiers" of the 157 Demo-
Gratis. Ia the Senate, of the thirty-fve
Democrats twenty-five are 'frebel soldiers" !"
and confederate soldiers are now at the helm
in State affairs and managing the Affairs for
the glory and perpetuity of the Union. See
what we accomplish by the united help OF
only three northern States. We have elected
the first Democratic president in quarter of
q century.
There are some other indications that the
new South has not yet been fully recognized.
Ona of these indications cropa out in Flor
ida, where Senator j. D. Cole, the Republi-
can leader in Jefferson county, was ordered
to leave the county at once and stay away
until after election, as he would not be psr-
mitted to take any active part in local poli-
tics. AS the order was given by large par
ty of armed men he obeyed It, and the Dem.
ocratic organ of the county says. 1.-THE talk
of organizing the Republican party in this
county is wild ohimera. It cannot be
done in the face of compact, harmonious
Democracy" and further says that ''under al
the circumstances It is doubtful whether
Major Cole could be elected senator from
this district, or could take his seat IL elected,
and therefore 1t is possible that he has absn-
doned all efforts at organizing the party"
As long as these things continue there
will be reason why the Republican party
should be returned to power. There are
many signs that the progress of the new
South is not to be greatly helped under Dem.
ocratic rule.

in which the habits of the person in regard

an average as follows: Total abstainers 1.22

average duration of life that Of the teetotaler

his average being nearly eleven years longer.
The habitusl drunkard averages about a year

A Hlndoo wedding.

lErom the st. James Gazette.
A correspondent of ''The Scotsman" wri-
ting from Bombay, describes Hindoo we'd
ding at which he was present as being inter
esting not only as a ceremong, but as a spec
tacle. "The branches of the trees in the
garden were outlined with little lamps, and
q large pond in front of the house was hung
round very high up with flags between the
wreaths of which lamps were suspended.
From the balcony of the house saw the
bridegroom arrive on a led horse, accompa-
MED by many friends. He was dressed in
cloth Of gold and wore splendid hat, and
his richly caparisoned horse had wreaths of
yellow flowers placed at short distances
across Its back and hanging down to the
ground He dismouted at the entrance,
where his little bride met him and threw rice
over her own and his head as symbol that
she would care for the wants of the house
hold. They went together into the house,
where the wedding guests were assembled,
and sat down on two red cushions facing
each other. A white cloth was held up in
front Of his face, and she covered her face
with her sari whilst a cord of yellow and
white worsted was then put round their
necks, joining them together. A large piece
of muslin was then put round his neck and
neld up close TO her, and under this they
Joined hands. On leaving the house bou-
quet, on which altar of roses had been
poured, was presented to every guest, and
wreaths of flowers were hung round our
necks by our hosts" A pot of red paint
seems to have been one of the properties"
necessary az the wedding, and the veneration
in which the red paint was held was exem-
plifed by fact narrated by the correspon-
dent. When telegraph posts were first set
uD in some remote parts of India the gentle
Hindoo was won't to cut the same down for
frewood. A young engineer, who had
studied the aboriginal character, painted the
posts red, whereupon the natives worshipped
the posts and ceased to carry them away as
burnt offerings.
