RECEIPT FOG PICKLES.

AS my lady friends are giving to each
other such nice receipts in the Alliance
column, l want to tell my young unmarried
brothers how to have perfect pickles all the
year round: Pick you out girl that bangs
her hair, hiding hcr forehead, (where. the.
brains ought to be,) causing her to look like
n merino sheep, or Scotch poodle; one
that has her waist shaped like o dirt-dauber,
so that she can only breathe in the upper
portion Of the lungs; that saunters up the
aislcs Of q church on Sunday morning, wear
ing hustle, reminding one Of guinea
fowl in Springtime, in dewy clover. LOT,
trying to keep dry; one that lets Ma attend
to the domestic affairs, and can talk only Of
novels, beaus, dress and parties. Such
girls are, and win likely remain, perfect
pickles. They are skilled in anatomy.
They can bisect and diseect character and
reputation; their tongues are 'sharper than
any twc-edgvd sword;" they can snatch up
an honest, plain country cracker" whose
character and morals are unsullied, and just
riddle him; or they will, grab the dress of
some poor girl and pronounce it an old one
remodeled, and jerk the ribbon from her
hat and find it is the one she wore last season.
Make love to and marry such one and your
defencelcss head will become like the bald
eagles, and the remainder Of your life will
be q voyage on the sea of acrimony, filed
with storms and whirlpools.

b@ A few days ago letter appeared in
49, ccelannbia and CharIeston daily papers
from one W. T. Dxrnxru, or Now YorH, ~.1
addressed to the Secretary of State Of South
Carolina, from which we extract the follow.
ing:
AS the representative of o syndicate OF
New York and German capitalists, who are
investing largely in an extensive and costly
plant for the production Of aluminium (pure
and in the form of alloys by modern electro
lytical processes, invented abroad, but also
patented in this country, and which col |
for very heavy mechanical power, am seek
ing for location combining proximity to
water or cheap G., competitive) rail trans
portation to the seaboard. with an available
water power Of at least 5,OOO-horse power,
mot less than 4, 4,OOO-horse power at extreme
low water. with minimum liability to serious
Interruption or damage by floods.
power obtained from high fall, rather
than from q great volume Of water, and fed
from o wooded country, preferred. A site
OF ut least twenty acres is required, and as
the plant, Composed principally Of power
ful dynamOs and electric crucibles, very
-.natly of cnnatrnctinnl would be seriously in
Jured by exposure to water, II is q matter OF
primo Importance that the site shall not be
subjected to the slightest danger from over
flow.
When we read the letter our thoughts i'm.
mediately turned to Lockhart Shoals, in
this County, as probably presenting as many
Of the requirements for such an establish
ment as any water power in the country.
Unfortunately, the location of this msgnif-
cent water power is too far from water or
railroad transportation, while the roads TO
it are too rugged for even capitalists
to think of utilizing it.
Should an outlet by railroad be built to
Lockharts, or very near it, its splendid power
would not long be allowed to run to wastani
but We would soon see New PinckQ
rise nar beside i111 usy ''t''
teeming with thousands
Of industrious, thrifty citizens and full of
enterprises of all kinds.
ewere in hope that the Cs road would
run close to it; and we still think if that
branch is ever built, one Of the greatest in
ducemen will be the development Of the
grand and never failing water power Of
Lockhart Shoals, with plenty Of cheap and
fertile lands around it to invite capital and q
large thrifty population.

get our corn wrapped in shueks and have It
imported from our fields;s and any man TINT

1t is strange that we should have
passed down more Than a hundred
years in the history of the govern
ment, and over almest its entire agri-
cultural belt, without making the
dircovery until the state line of Colo
rado was reached, that small coun-
ties are all wrong aud out of order,
and that in great big counties is the
only economy of local governments.
1t is the more passing strange when
it is considered that almost every
state in the union has experimental

the early settlement of the country.

A bill has been introduced into the
present Legislature to do away with
the fee system IN this state and make

the larger counties of the state the

abolished and the sooner Colorado

never produces but simply develops
the disease, of which acid blood Is
the primary cause, and that while the
blood is alkaline there can be neither
rheuma,iun nor gout.
Statistics show that in one year
lgT6l 2.64O persons died of rheuma-
tism in this country, and every case,
it is claimed, might have been cured
or prevented by the adoption of the
remedy in question. At least two
thirds Of the cases named heart dis
ease are really rheumatism. Small
pox, so much dreaded, aud which is
not half so destructive as Rheumatism,
it is maintained by many physicians,
can be prevented by obeying natures
laws in diet. But if you have incur
red it, boiled celery is unhesitatingly
pronounced specific.
The proper way 20 eat celery is to
have il cooked as a vegetable III the
manner about described. The writer
makes constant of it IN this way.
