How Al Sin Worked the Bows.

His WhIskers.

A North Side business man whose
domestic life is not all roses and sun
shine had an experience the other
day which was particularly humiliat-
ing. His wife has fearful temper,
and when in her tantrums is not
only ugly but often dangerous.
After a heated discussion at the sup
per table over some trifiing difference
of opinion she had a fit of sulks and
refused to say another word. That
night when he was sound asleep, in
order to spite her husband, she cut
off his left whisker. He was going
away next morning on an early
train and in the hurry OF getting
ready did not discover his loss. He
Thought tine people in the car eyed
him rather curiously, but there was
no tell tale mirror in sight. and he
buried himself in his paper. AtRock-
ford he went to the Holland house
and was assigned TO a room.
After removing the dust of travel he
stepped to the glass to adjust his
necktie, and then for the first time
1iscoveredtherape otthe sidewhisker.
For a while he was puzzled to know
how he had lost it, but mature think
ing convinced him that his wife was
the culprit. OF course, he was force,
I'd to sacrifice the other side, and a
hasty visit was paid to the barber

is the last straw, and divorce pro

The lIot,est Meathcr known.

"Whut is the hottest weather ever
known in the United States?" The
question is answered in the May bull
lctin OF the Kentucky statistical
weather service. The highest tenn
perature recorded by the United
States signal service was at Pn9nix
and Fort Mcdowell, A. T., in June,
1883. The thermometer marked 119
degs. However, unofficial observers
report temperatures as high as 12S
and 122 dogs. at Mammoth Tank
and Humboldt, Cal. The coolest
weather recorded by the service was
80 dogs. below zero, at Poplar
River, Mon. But this is n warm place
compared with Werchojansl, Siberia,
the coolest inhabited spot on the
globe. The thermometer there has
been as low rs 90degs. below zero In
view of these figures, let us not COM

bowl OF eXccllcntly cooked oysters, tor

OF hls old master and mistress, dead long
ago. At the time ifcof6m came to him
he was owned i'll Buncombc, and came
from his last master to Asheville with
one blanket and two razurs, with which
he cut his way to his present fortune; for

Peace Endangered.

New YORK, November 26.--The Dutch

Port Au Prince, November 20, which ar
rived to-day brings news to the effect
that at the time OF her sailing the state
of affairs at Port Au Prince was rather
unfavorabe to Hippolyte, and that fears
were entertained that there would be an
uprising for the purpose of deposing him
from the presidency. 1t is reported that
there are 5000 men armed and engaged
in the movement.
At the office ofKeunardt & Co., agents
of the Prinz Frederick, all knowledge OF
any insurrection on the Island OF Hayti
was denied. The captain OF the steamer
had reported at the Office and said moth
ing about it. There were ten passengers
on the steamer, and it is thought that

Coal.

The famine that was upon us some
weeks ago was to certain extent allevi-
ated; and while the mild weather was
upon us, complaints were silenced. But
we not only hear mutterings of discon-
tent, but know of actual privation in the
absence Of coal supply. One of the largest
dealers has not bushel in his yard. Yet
we know his orders arelin hand land that
he has had cars sent from here to be
loaded. Of these he can hear nothing,
though he has been at the trouble of put
ting trace agent on the road. Thecars
have been diverted to other uses or to
other roads. The road which passes our
doors has done everything possible to re-
lieve US; but beyond its jurisdiction it is
as practically helpless as the sufferers.
The more reason there is why we
should secure the connections leading to
other coal mines, and such come ctions
we can obtain if we resolve to make
them.

Leave Your Basket at MOrgaH'S

You have all bought your Thanks
giving turkeys; at least, it, you have not,
the other fellow is ahead of you, and
your Thanksgiving will be turned into
some other kind of giving, and that not
thanks, before you finish that drum
stick. Now, give the little children of
the Kindergarten the chance to get in
digestion, which, like the gout, is gener-
ally voucher for riches and rank. Be
ready with your baskets, and leave them
at Morgan's book store on Main street,
at 2 O'Clock p. m, to-day. They will all
thank you when they sit down to the
feast provided for them by the Kinder
garten Society on Thanksgiving day ;
although, they may have some hard
thoughts about you during the night,
but that will only disturb them and not
you. No dinner is worth eating, so the
ladies say, without dainties and sweet
meats. Several young ladies of this town
have realized That fact; they have made
some delicious candy and will place
it on sale at Battery Park on Thursday.
The proceeds will be given to the Free
kindergarten Society. Although the
repOrtorial palate has not sampled these
goods (by the way this mistake could
easily be rectiiiedj, yet we have been as
surcd there is more money in the candies
than will ever be gotten out of them.
Ahcm! We meant to say that the ma
lcriaIs in the candy do not justify the
price. That is not what we meant
to say. The fact is the candy is better
than any which is put on the MAJ kct at
that price. Here is chance to open
your pocket books, and CRAFTY your
instincts and your palate at
tnc same time, and we hope none will re-
Irain from purchasing the goods because

The Charlotte ChronicIe.

The board of directors of this excellent
daily paper have passed resolutions and
ordered them to be put into effect immc-
diately, fixing the subscription price at
81 per annum ifpaid quarterly, and $5
ifpaid in advance, and ten cents per
week, payable weekly.
The Chronicle is an admirable paper,
and should draw to it liberal support
without making concessions, which be-
tray want OF confidence. There is a
limit in the subscription price below
which it is unsafe to fall. The cost OF
publication and the incidental expenses
can be calculated to fraction. There
must, as in all business, be a margin left
for reasonable profit. This margin is
lost by the credit system, the ruin of SO
many newspaper enterprises. The only
safe business rule is remunerative, but
not high, subscription, price, cash in ad
vance, and adherence to that rule. A
newspaper, as a business enterprise, is on
the same footing as the sale OF merchan-
disc. No merchant is blamed because he
has cash rate and gives no credit.
Buyers go to them as freely as to those
who give credit. They go knowing what
to do and what to expect. The only
condition that they can impose is that
the article purchased is good. So with
the newspaper; if that is made good
there can be no complaint of cash terms
And it is the enforcement of these casl
terms that enables and encourages a
newspaper to be always aiming at higher
excellence. The rule is better both fol
the publisher and the subscriber. The
first is easier in his business, the othel
more quiet in his conscience.

The friends of this worthy disabled
soldier who have interested themselves
in his behalf, will be gratifed to learn
that as the result of the surgical opera
tion performed six weeks ago in Phila-
delphia by DR.. John White, under the eye
of DR.. D. H. Aguew, without charge,
he will, in all probability become a
sound and able bodied man. HeiS still in
the University hospital, and it will be sew
eral weeks yet before he can return home.
The operation was a very severe one,
and it can hardly be expected that he will
be able to resume his trade the coming
winter. The worst is over; complete
success is promised as the result. There
fore, let every one cheerfully help to
finish a good work. Especially, let those
who have not heretofore given, con-
tribute now. Money for his benefit may
be deposited with Mr.. j. E. Rankin, at
the Western Carolina Bank. 1t will be
suitably disbursed by those having Mr..
