Re,.l Dinner. In Hsa.na.

The royal dinner parties of England
are the most formal and studied in the
world To beginners they become a
frightful ordeal, and they rarely at the
end can tell what the meal consisted of;
to old stagers they are a frightful bore.
The novices are expected to arrive early
so as to be posted by Sir Henry Ponsonby
in cour etiquette. The queen usually
receives her guests for afternoon tea in
her own sitting room, and remains a
short time with them chatting on light
subjects then they are permitted to
wander over the castle or stay in their
rooms till dinner time, which is at o.
She says a few words to each guest as
she enters the dining room, and then
leads the way to the table. 1t always
seems so discourteous for no one to step
up and offer the old lady his arm, but it
would require an equal in rank to do so,
and she enters and leaves the room alone.
There is very little conversation at the
table. Each guest is asked n question
by the queen and a make one reply.
The pauses between are dreadful, and
the mechanical parceling out OF ques-
tons and makes it seem as If
the queen were putting a Bible class
through its catechism. Each one waits
for his turn to come next, and in the
embarrassment the ANSWERS" are often
OF the most stupid kind.-New York

The menu of the farewell banquet to
the members of the oriental congress at
Stockholm ought to take a permanent
place in collections of literary ~curiosities.
The initial sup or nip Of schnapps
which always begins a Scandinavian
Dime was recorded with a song in the
Hairs tongue. The soup was described
in Getziani and a song in Chinese. Prof.
Max Muller wrote a song in Sanscrit
praising the salmon. The filet de boeuf
was mentioned by n verse in Malay and
by another in Javanese, Artichaut au
beurre was treated in Coptic; cateau a
la Victoria in hieroglyphics; the ices in
Himyaritic; the cheeses in Bichare. The
menu concluded according to the Swe-
dish custom with Thanks for dinner"
written in Persian.-Berlin Letter.

An Electricians House,

One of Edison's chiefs lives in Newark
in a house which is all agog with wires.
As n approaches the front gate it
swings open and shuts automatically.
The visitors foot on the steps of the
porch rings n bell in the kitchen and also
n in the masters study. By touching
a button he opens the front door before
the stranger has time to knock. An cleo
trical music box plays during dinner.
When the guest retires to his bedroom
the folding bed unfolds by electricity.
When he puts out the gas a strange,
hooking display of skeletons, grave
stones, owls and other hideous phantas.

feet. r~eappearing and disappearing in a

Russia keeps up the informal habits
of Peter the Great, and the conversation
is very gay and general at the court
table, with much of the brilliancy Of an
officers mess on a grand scale. In old
times in Russia wherever a guest made
a distasteful remark a trumpet sounded.
The offense repeated, the too talkative
person was led away and had his tongue
cut out. Nero used to have u pet tiger
extended beside him on his couch, which,
at a sign, sprang at the throat of any in
discreet babbler. In contrast to this life
1t is almost painful to mention the clock
work formalities Of other courts, and the
mapped out rules for conversation at
Victoria's table seem absurd. New

In a recent article in the Youths Com
pdnion, on How to Cure a Cold" a
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bed time. 1t is a dangerous treatment
as it opens the pores of the skin and
leaves the system in such condition that
another and more severe cold is certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons has fully demonstrated that there
is nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t acts
in perfect harmony with nature, relieves
the lungs, liquifes the tough tenacious
mucous. making it easier to expectorate,
and restore the system to a strong and
healthy condition. For sale by B. B.

its service a number of new cars (Which

designed for the use and comfort of the
Colonist, who with his family intend NOV

The only difference between these cars
and the regular first. class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies' and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing ~headboards and heavy damask cur
tains as much privacy is secured as if in
the regular irst-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and a good supply Of
water are also to be. found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants of
the passengers, and no smoking is al

The Groenville Newa, Of last Saturday,
says:
james r. Bryce, of Walhalla, son of M.
Il. Bryce, the Republican County Chair
man Of Oconee, has been appointed rail.
way postal clerk on the Greenville q
Walhalla route, vice N. l.. FAINT, removed. !.
Bryce has been notified to have his bond
prepared, and he will probably take
charge Of the place next week.
Information of this change was re-
ceived at the post Office here yesterday,
and was somewhat OF surprise. Mr..
FAINT is one of the most painstaking,
faithful and efficient route agents in the
State, and his removal will be regretted
by his many friends here.
We endorse every word the Ne,Us says
about Mr.. FAINT. he was born and reared
in Anderson, and we have known him
intimately since his childhood days. He
is sober, upright worthy, young man,
and in the discharge of his duties is
always courteous and acCommo odating.
Indeed, we doubt if there is in the service
of the government q more excellent
young man, one who did his duties more
faithfully and courteously. Mr. Fant en-
tered the service of the government as a
Mrs. Grace G.. Cochran, who was then
Postmistress. When Mr.. Webb was ap-
pointed Postmaster, Mr.. FAINT continued
to serve as chief clerk until be received
his appointment as postal clerk on the
railroad. Every citizen of Anderson, be
he white or black, Democrat or Republic
can, will agree with us when we say that
in the removal of Mr.. FAINT the railway
mail service has lost one ofits best clerks.

The Atlanta Consultation is making an
effort to build and endoW home in that
city for the old and disabled Confederate
soldiers, and up to last Sunday about
$4,000 had been subscribed by the good
people of Georgia for the noble enterprise.
The Constitution publishes every day the
list of subscribers, and among them we
find the following from Mr.. Will. Wilkes,
of Atlanta, an old Anderson boy, who in
making his contribution, says: ~ cannot
afford not to subscribe to the Confederate
Home. My father was killed at the bat.
tie Of Manassas, as was also my Wlfe's
father. Please put my name down for
five dollars and my wife's name down for
times as much" To this the Constitution
adds: 'tThe body of Mr.. Wilkes father
was robbed on the battlefield of every
thing valuable, including his pocketbook,
which contained a number of personal
papers. which were valueless to anyone
else. Only a few days ago Mr.. Wilkes re-
ceived the pocket book through the mails,
accompanied by an anonymous note,
which simply explained that it had been
taken from his father's body on the bat
tlefeld. All the papers were in the book
lust as they were when it was taken from
the dead soldiers body twenty-four years
ago." Mr.. Wilkes fathor, Gen. s. NJ.
Wilkes, was prominent lawyer of An
derson, and entered the war from this
place. at the time that he was killed he
was Adjutant of the Fourth Regiment,
and was greatly beloved by all of his old
soldiers. When he left home to enter the
service he told his good wife that he
would die before be would ever surt ender
to the enemy, and sure enough he did.
At the first battle of Manassas he rode off
alone to spring, short distance away,
to get drink of water, and while there
squad of yankees rode up and asked him
to surrender. he refused, and at the
same time pulled his pistols. The enemy
fred at him, and he III turn fred at them.
His body was riddled with bullets, but
before be fell from his horse he had killed
two yankees. It was then that his body
was robbed, the enemy stealing even the
boots off of his feet. His old comrades
say that the Confederate service did not
have braVer or more gallant soldier.
