Good Advice to John.

CHOW. john" said a mother to her son,
sslisten to me, for | am older than you, or
I could not have been your mother.
Never marry young woman, John, before
Won have contrived to peep in at the house
where she lives, at least four or i've times
before breakfast. You should know how
late she lies in bed in the morning. You
should take notice whether her complexion
is in the morning as it is in the evening,
or whether the morning wash and towel
have robbed her of her evening bloom.
You should take care to surprise her, so
that YOU may see her in her morning dress,
and observe how her hair looks when she
is not expecting you. If possible, you
should be where you can hear the morning
conversation between her and her mother.
If she is ill-natured or snappish to her
mother so she will be to you, depend on 1t.
But if you find her up, and dressed neatly,
in the morning, with the same counte-
nance, the same smiles, the same neatly
combed hair, the same ready and pleasant
answer to her mother, which chara cter-
ize her appearance and department in the
evening, and particularly If she is lending
a hand 10 get the breakfast ready, she is
| O prize, John, and the sooner you secure
her to yourself the better"
This is very good advice to John; and as
for Jane, If she is wise, she will be quite
careful to find out whe'e the young mar
spends his evenings, what company he
keeps, how late he stays out nights, ane
how he looks and acts in the morning
how he speaks of his father and to hi
| mother, how he treats his sisters, and othe
mems sisters, and then if all is satisfaction!
| chs will not repret that she looked befor
she leaped.-lhe Christian Woman.

A Coincidence.

By a strange coincidence at the moment
when the city of Colon was being nearly
DESTROYED by fire the International So
ciety of Paris was thinking of improving
is on q large plan, and the Colombian
newspapers were discussing the value OF
the land and the buildings at Colon AS
pinwall. Ell Mercurio, in second article
nublished in answer to Ell Porvenir OF CAT
thagena, admitted that the figure of Sl2,-
515 600, which it had announced at first
as representing the value of the hospital,
railroad buildings, residence of the direc-
tor etc, might be reduced by half. 1t
added, though, that, including the price
of the land occupied by the defunct canal
company, the above figure would be raised
to $50, 712, 500. These discussions among
Colombian papers about the real value OF
the main portion of Aspinwal originated
from the pending negotiations between the
| government of Bogota and Lieutenant
Bonaparte WISE, who is now in Colombia
| working to obtain prolongation, in the
| interest of new company, OF the conces-
sion granted to the former one for the cut,
ting of the interoceanic canal. These ne
potiations do not seem to be on the road
to success, The latest newspapers from
the country which owns the isthmus sho"
that strong opposition has recently been
developed against the new plan of action
proposed by Mr. Wyse. The latter has
lost his good humor, forgot his usua
polite diplomacy and savagely attacked
the papers which said they had no faith IL
his scheme for cutting the canal any more
than in his ability to raise the necesssr!
funds. La Nacion and Ell Telegram'
answered MIR. Wyae's attack with grea
bitterness, and Senior Argaes, director o
the latter paper, wrote that ''In regard t.
the question of millions, the onl y thing
Mr.. Wyse pretends to know is that Colon
h;a owes him the millions he imagines sh
has made" by granting him in 1876 tn
canal concession, the terms of which hav
not been complied with by the Panam
Canal Company.-Neso York Tribune.

The Methodist congregation of the thrifty

liberal contributions which were received
there last Sunday at the opening of their
new church. It is understood that
the collections on that day and
remittances in answer to the cir
culars sent out by the building committee
amounted to about $500, and r. B. Reppard
is having some very complimentary things
said OF him for the interest he has taken in
getting up the fund to reduce the church
debt incurred in the erection of the building.
The exercises at Pooler, incident to the
opening of the new church for public
worship, attracted 800 or 400 persons from
out OF town, many going out from this
city. Rev. John G. Griner, the pastor, con-

PoRCHER ON THE ROE CROP.
He Estimates the Damage at 25 Pc
Gent.

He Estimates the Damage at 90 Per
Gent.
Mr.. Porcher. of the large rice firm Of
Shipper & Porcher, at Charleston, has been
investigating the damage to the rice crops
by the heavy rains of the last ten days, and
he says:
"a great deal of the Carolina rice has
been out and is stacked in the fields. The
rains and the hot weather are causing the
stack grain to 'mow-burn,' or to turn
yellow. A great many of the planters
have been obliged to take down the stacks
to prevent further damage from these two
causes. This condition is very general in
the fields from Georgetown to the Savannah
river. What Is needed at once is dry
weather in order to let the rice recover from
this damage and permit the uncut grain to
be properly harvested. Up to this time the
crop was very promising. At a rough
estimate the loss will be about % per cent.
but, not understanding the trouble 80 far, if
the weather clears up, the yield will be
about the same as last year, when 1919, 900
bushels were milled in South Carolina.
Whether there will be rise in the price
it is not easy to tell as yet The Louisiana
crop will be the largest in many years, and
the quarter of cent taken Off the duty
will allow larger quantity of foreign rice
to come TO this market OF the Louisiana
crop about 100000 bushels have already
been put on the market or the Carolina
crop there have been received only from
1900 to Il, 900 bushels.
The present price of rice Is higher than
last year, this being due to the fact that
there Is no old or foreign rice on the
market"

The work of putting up the new metallic
cases in the vaults of the new court house is
progressing favorably, and Mr.. Scott says
that within the next ten days or two weeks
he will have all of them in place and fitted
UP. The last consignment of the
cases arrived by steamer yester-
day, and will be placed in the
vault connected with the ordinary's office
to-day. With all the care which was taken
in boxing them for safe carriage, some of
the drawers or boxes were badly bent, but
repairs will be made to those only slightly
damaged, while those that are badly dam
aged will be replaced by new ones.
The last consignment of furniture has
been received, and was being hauled up
from the wharves yesterday, but up to this
time the factory has not sent on a man to
superintend the arrangement of it through
out the court house. The desks and heavier
furniture are piled up in the halls DOWN
stairs, aud the chairs and lighter furniture

when the factory will send on the hands
originally designed, but it is said that they
are expected to reach here sometime during
the present month. A good-natured wag
has voiced the popular displeasure
with the misfit hands, by indicting
the following, which he inscribed In pencil

THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY.
Two Wild and Woolly Western
Steers GO Out on Lark.

Two Wild and Woolly Western
Steers GO Out on a Lark.
A couple of western steers escaped from
Guilmartin & Mehrtens' cattle yard at
West Broad and William street yesterday
afternoon, and went on general rampage
through the city. A lot of boys and dogs
took after the animals when they first es-
capped, and sent them off III a wild fright
that came near proving fatal to more than
one person.
As soon as the escape of the cattle was
discovered mounted driver was started to
bring them back, but it was a fruitless
chase and only served to increase the terror
of the animals. They made break for the
business portion OF the city and soon owned
the whole of the lower portion of Bay
street. At the foot Of Barnard one of them
made a dash into the store No. $50 Bay
street, to the.great CONSERVATION of the
occupants, who vacated the building in his
favor instanter. The wild bovine trotted
through the office and out upon the balcony
in the rear and surveyed the harbor and the
shipping, but was not reckless enough to
take q leap of forty feet to the street below
He turned back, passed out of the
store and continued in a reckless gallon
out Barnard street and around the market,
scattering the crowds right and left. The
horseman followed close behind him and
added TO the excitement. The mad race
continued west to Montgomery street, out
Montgomery to Perry, and down Perry to
West Broad, where the steer charged the
crowd in front of the Central depot and
scattered hackmen, porters and loafers
like chaH before the wind. One negro was
run over and several narrowly escaped being
gored.
Farther out West Broad the Infatuated
animal dashed into stoop and carried off
part Of the railing, and when last seen was
going out West Broad, having clear field.
His partner in the stampede ran south to
Liberty street, down which he made bold
dash, and nearly scared the life out of a
small boy at the corner Of Abercorn, mar
rowly missing him with his long horns
