received. 1t speaks for itself:
To the Editor of the TELEG.An-HERALD:
Being a constant reader of your valuable

duces me to take the liberty of asking a few
lines in your paper, from which / notice
you have playing at Powers Opera House
a company who have most justly earned for
themselves high distinction for putting
upon the stage good sterling common sense
plays which reminds me OF the words used
some few years ago by the late Right
Reverend Bishop, OF Manchester, England.
bishop Frazer, namely: That the Stage
is good moral school when legitimate
plays are portrayed" This company play
such pieces, and they are thoughtfui. stuai-
Gus, personages and perform to such per-
of cheap entertainers. In my opinion Mrs.
Trsvernier. better known az Miss Ida Van

admirably supported by young enterpris-
ing gentleman, Clarence Holt. Mr.. Cham

played in the town where | reside. for
several nights and ! am pleased to use the
words of the Rev. Mr.. korrell. our rector,
who remarked 10 npe, Mr.. COnnor. they

IMPOSSIBLE ECONOMY.

Something Easy to Preach But Rattle,
Difficult to Practice.
1t is very common thing to see in
the columns of the daily papers com.
munications. generally anonymous,
asserting the possibility of family Of
a stated number of pc rsons living COM
fortably on stated nu mber of dollars
per week, and backing up assertions
with an array of figures whose falsity
it requires but little practical investi-
CATION to prove. Many a housewife
tries them and finds that the amount
fixed upon rs sufficient to furnish her
family with all the needed food will
scarcely pay for the two articles of
bread and butter required for the
mouths of her three or four growing
children.
But this is not the only nor the worst
mischief that may grow out of the nom
sense of these anonymous purse ply
sicians. And we know whereof we
speak. A husband who has been in
the habit of giving his wife ten or fif-
teen dollars, or more, as the case NAV
be. for the weekly marketing. picks up
his morning paper and is there told
that one-half of his allowance is all
that is necessary. Now, if he believes
it. rather unpleasant alternative is
apt to cross his humor. Either his wife
is extravagant in her purchases and
pays more for her eatables than she
should. or spends the surplus with the
milliner and dressmaxer.
OF course, there is many husband
whose over-fondness would forbid
either end of such an alternative inter-
fering with the uxorious tenor of his
life. But there are others not thus
constituted; occasionally one whose
carefulness may be the result of little
stinginess. or. perhaps, Of mere neces-
sity; whose suspicious may be easily
aroused. and not SO easily allaycd. and
then comes a domestic battle which.
whether it ends in smoke Or something
more serious, will altogether depend
upon the temperaments of the comhst-
ants. And all this risk and trouble be-
cause of the nonsensical desire of So
called economists to recommend to other
households that which they could NOT,
if they would. practice in their own
Table TAX.

"It may be further explained to the
gentle reader that she had taken a
seat on our knee and was trying to

gently, but with Roman firmness. We
were telling her that we did not intend
to marry until the Kicker had secured
weekly circulation of five thousand
copies, when she threw hor arms
around our neck, plowed her nose
along our check and into our ear, and
said her heart was breaking. Old Jim.
who had been in ambush in the other
room. rushed in at that moment and
swore we had been trihing with Ho-
nora's affections. We gently denied
it. He said we'd got to marry her or
fill an honored grave. We declined
both honors. Honora began to below

hands in his hair. We admit a black
eye. bitten ear, damaged nose and
more Or less general dilapidation, but,
thank Heaven. we came out of the
hery furnace without the loss of a prin-
ciple. These are the brief facts Old
Jim Polhemus may lug himself around
from pillar TO pot-house and tell new
lie at every stopping-place. but he can't
hurt us any. Honora may call us an

love to his daughter Honora An ex-
PLANTATION is not only due our readers
but ourself While every body in this
county knows old Jim to be sand
papered. oil-fnished liar of the first
quality, some recent arrival may hear
his story and do us the injustice Of be-
lieving it.
"In love with Honora Polhemus! In

1.-THE fact is, old Jim has wanted us
for son-in-law ever since we struck
the town and opened up. We can say
without egotism that We have been the
catch Of the place. Who urged US to
visit his house? Who loafed about our
Office for weeks? Who threw his lop-
cared daughter at our head. as it were?
Old Jim Polhemus! He figured that q
marriage with us would pull his FAM
lily out of the quagmire of obscurity
and give 'em standing. and he figured
right. The following diagram shows
how we were received at old Jim's
