WISE WORDS.

Love is satisfied only with love
A wise mans day is worth q FOOLS
life.
That alone belongs to you which yo.
have bestowed.
He that loves to be fattered is worthy
OF the fatterer
The most manifest sign of wisdom IL
continued cheerfulness.
Never marry but for love, but see that
thou lowest what is lovely
Virtue itself often offends, when
coupled with forbidding manners.
Industry needs not wish. and he that
lives upon people will die fasting.
Sorrow for having done amiss is fruit
less if it issue not in doing so no more.
There cannot be a greater rudeness
than to interrupt another in the current
of his discourse.
Time will discover every thing to pos
terity; it is a babbler, and speaks even
when no question is put.
One reason why the world is not re
formed, is, tecause every man would
have others make beginning, and neve,
thinks of himself.
There are two things needed in these
days; first, for rich men to find out how
poor men live, and. second, for poor
men to know how rich men work.
An egotist will always speak of him
self, either in praise or in censure; but
a modest man ever shuns making him
self the sub ;ect of his conversation.
Nothing hinders the constant agree
i
vanity and selfshness. Let the spirit of
humility and benevolence prevail, and
discord and disagreement would be ban
ished from the household.
If you do not rise early you can never
make progress in anything. If you dc
not set apart your hours of reading, il
you suffer yourself or anyone else to
break in upon them your days will sliE
through your hands improbable and
frivolous, and really unenjoyed by your.

A Novel Legal Case.

The most novel legal case in the judi
cial annals of North Carolina has been
tried at Wilmington. A photographer,
in order to secure some striking local
scenes, equested Policeman Rowland to
procure a colored boy and come into his
studio. Officer Rowland hailed pass
ing colored boy and together they
entered the tent. The photographer
grouped his sub ects, requesting the
officer to collar the youth, raise his club
and look officially severe. Several photo
graphs were taken. One was given to
the boy and another was hung out as an
advertisement. This was too striking
for the father of the lad, who swore out
warrant before the Justice charging
Officer Rowland with assault and bat
terv The warrant was duly served.
Rowland, accompanied By counsel, ap-
peared before magistrate. The officer
was fined. San Francisco Chr0nicLe.

Oh, in the depths of midnight
What fancies haunt the brain,
When even the sigh OF the sleeper
Sounds like sob Of pain
A sense of awe and OF wonder
may never well define,
For the thought that come in the shadows
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down in the parlor,
Like a sleepleSs mourner grieveS,
And the seconds drip in the silence
As the rain drips from the caves
And l think OF the hands that signal
The hours there in the gloom,
And wonder what angel watchers
Wait in the darkened room
And / think Of the smiling faces
That used to watch and wait,
Till the click of the clock was answered
By the click of the open gate.
They are not there now in the evening
Morning or noon-not there;
Yet know tha, they keep their virgil
And wait for NE somewhere.

Meat Sneakers.

A meat-sneaking gang, the members
of which lived literally, and without the
least touch of exaggeration. on the ''fat
of the land" has Just been discovered In
Paris. Last week a man was observed
lurking a considerable time before a
well-stocked butchers shop, his eyes
rived on a ''superb" leg of mutton, war
ranted to weigh six pounds, and which
was duly dangling from hook.
The suspicious person walked up and
down before the shop, and sometimes
crossed to the other side of the road, re-
turning, however, continually ''to his
mutton" which he at last ierked off its
hook by fine trick of legerdemain and
plunged into a canvas bag. The opera
tion, although neatly and quickly per-
formed, mad been 81 en- by two policemen,
who thought they had met the mutton
thief" before At the station the man
gave his address in the Rue des Morillons,
whittier repaired the two detectires and
inquired for the thief.
When the door of the room to which
they went was half opened by a woman,
the officers walked in and were tenn.
porarily overwhelmed by the spectacle
which was presented to their gaze. The
pace Was lOuS anu udTlO". Ou CaUIe
in the centre was vast heap of provi.
poultry and pates de foie gras. There
were game, huge pullets stuffed with
Perigord Cru lies, nice necks of lamb and
fine turkeys, all waiting to be roasted.
After further examination the detec
tives discovered ether stolen articles OF
a miscellaneous character, which showed
that the occupants of the room were
members of big thieving gang, OF
which the ''mutton-sneak" was duly
qualified member. Besides the woman,
an old man and two boys were captured
in the tenement. The old man was the
trainer of the youths and had hooks put
up in one part of the room from which
he taught his apprentices to abstract
joints of meat or poultry. -L0ndon 1ele

& Town in Ashes.

Almost the entire town of Smithfeld, in
Johnston County, n. c., was consumed by
fire. The only buildings which remain stand
ing are the County Court House and jail and
q few dwellings. Every store in the town and
many dwellings were burned The fire
originated about 1 O'Clock P. NJ, and in two
hours the town was in ashes.
The wind was raging at q terrific rate and
the flames swept over the town like a hurri-
cane. There was no fire department to fight
the flames and the people were powerless
TO resist the devouring sweep. The
total loss is estimated at upward Of
S100 900. Much of the property was insured.
The fire originated in the carriage factory Of
S. r. J. r. Morgan. It's origin is thought to

How Natives Harrassed Stanley.

Henry NJ. Stanley's letter to the Royal Geo
graphical Society was read at a meeting of
that body in London. The letter consists
mainly of repetition of what has already
been published. He describes at length the
various devices by which the natives
endeavored to prevent the advance Of the ex-
petition. One Of them was to dig shallow
pits across the path of the column and fill
them with skewers which were deftly Gov
cred with leaves.
The skewers pierced the feet of Stanley's
men, inficting wounds that in many cases
developed into gangrenous sores. The men
who were famed in this manner were sell
dom of further service.
Mr.. Stanley calls the natives cunning
rogues" and says that for purposes of ex-
tortion they always pretended that the coun-
try was suffering from famine.
The 'sfriendies,'' he says, withheld
information, but the natives who
were captured by the expedition i'm
parted all they knew. Mr. Stanley believes
that the lake he discovered in 1876 belongs to
the Congo.

The Sunny Little Soubrette as Much

The sale of seats for Lolita opened yester-

open-with a rush. The spectators were
on hand and bought up the front rows.
Boys we're in line in front of Davis Bros. ,
all Sunday night waiting for the box office
to open in the morning, and to get the first
choice. BY noon yesterday everything in
the parquet and the first five rows in the
dress circle were sold.
Lolita will have a big audience before
whom to kick up her little heels 1t
was hoped that she would play here two
nights. but the engagement is for but one
night. There is but one Lolita, and Savannah
ians, like everybody else, are crazy to see her.
Her new play, pawn Ticket No. 210," is
said to be equal to any in which she has ap-
peared in late years.
A Charleston critic, speaking of her
performance there, says: Her entire
performance was such as Lotta only can
give, and her support was most
excellent. Charles Harris as "Uncle Har-
ris" acted splendidly, and the scene Of mis-
murder and death struggle in his lonely
pawn shop at midnight was terribly thrill
