The Columbia Daily Calendar.

An old friend in a new dress, and an
article that has come to be one of the in
dispensables of an EDITORS desk, comes
in the Columbia Daily Calen dar for 1892
The Calendar is in the form of pad con-
tanning 367 leaves, each 51sx2% inches );
ore for each day of the year, to be re-
moved daily, and one for the entire year.
The days of the week, OF the month, and
of the year are given, and each slip bears
a short paragraph pertaining to cycling
or some kindred subject. At the bottom
of each leaf is a blank for memoranda,
every leaf being accessible at any time
The stand is an entirely new departure.
being made of sheet metal finished in
ivory black, and is very compact. At
the close OF the year the stand will be
! available for another pad. This is the
seventh issue OF this now well known Cal
| endar, yet all the matter is fresh and
new, having been carefully collated from
leading publications and prominent
writer's, most of it being specially written
for this purpose. 1t comprises notable
events in cycling, opinions of physicians
| and clergymen, hints about road making
and numerous other topics.

A Gigantic Work.

The work OF tunneling five miles
through the main range OF the Rocky
Mountains for railway and wholesale
gold and silver mining purposes, goes on
day and night, and this without State
or Government aid. More than 5000
feet OF the distance is already driven and
twenty-five veins Of gold and silver ore
already crossed. The Denver, Apex &
Western Railroad to connect Denver
with Salt Lake City at saving Of $50
and miles by using this tunnel, has
agreed for its use for twenty years,
to pay one dollar for each passenger and
fifty cents per ton for each ton Of freight
taken through it. The large illustrated
22-page pamphlet sent to all who send
two cents therefor to Mark NJ. Pomeroy,
General Manager, Rooms 46, Pulitzer
Building, New York City, is wonderfully
interesting, instructive and suggestive
reading matter, telling as it does what
men are now doing day and night, where
they are working more than 1000 feet
perpendcularly below the surface of
Mount kelso. Nearly 5000 men, women
and children are now financially inter-
ested as owners of the Atlantic Pacific
Railway Tunnel and all the properties of
the Company.

QUE WOMAN HEROES.

There are heroes for danger and hc-oes for
war.
And Lcro-z there are without chavroIs r- --..i-,
Whose deeds neither herald nor trunis.-t pro-
claim
The mothers who gnve their brave soas to the
fray.
With tears for their s!uInbcr and smiles foI
the day;
The wives with their babies asleep in their
arms,
Their hearts throbbing fast at the battle
alarms.
Tie girl leaning shy on her young lovers
breast,
Ono kiss, It's the last ere his soul is at rest;
The widow VINO passed from the freshly turned
sod
TO comfort the wounded, or speed them to God.
But left woman weeping until he should come;
No hero c'cr died in the heat Of the strife
But woman in sorrow hung over his life
Oh, brave woman heroes, your faith and your
pride
Have urged to the conquest, have cheered
those who died;
You prayers have lit the rough paths of dc.
feat,
Their glory blazed over the lines of retreat
Where carnage ran reddest and woman wa
seen,
All eyes were uFifted, as 'twere to a queen;
NO" open ranks, comrades, salute her oncc
more,
Untitled, uncheyroned, but dear as Of yore.

Tales From Town Topics.

The second volume Of Tales From
Torn Topics has appeared, with the
announcement in preface that the
first volume enjoyed phenomenal sale
and that the publishers expect the new
book to prove quite as popular. 1t is
doubtless true that large body of the
public buys with considerable avidity q
book that is known to contain stories
told with a French degree of freedom,
and, SO long as literary purity is pre-
served and romantic brilliancy ex-
hibited, any lapse into unconventional
moral attitudes are smiled away. Tales
From Toacm Topics, No. 2, contains
some rather startling pages, judged
under auotere rules, but the book is
seldom stupid, and can be read by
broad-minded men and women without
seriously influencing the health Of their
souls. Town Topics Publishing Co..

"1Vhat are we going to do about
it?" Let's see. The North Carolina
press must arise as one man and show
the damnable methods of this grasp
ing trust. We have idled in the
market places long enough when there
was work to do. With the possible
exception OF Mr.. Webster, we have
dallied with the gilded corporation
which was silently planning to rob US
of our prosperity and maybe, make
beggars of our children. Gentleman
of the press, it is time now to wake up.
The Southern Iobaet0 Journal claims
to be conservative, and anything else
than an extremist, but since the Amer
lean Tobacco Company has outlined
its policy in Texas, we say frankly that
its hand is directly against US, and
there is no middle ground upon which
an independent and self-respecting
editor can stand. 1t IS fight to the
knife and the knife to the hllt.
The iobbers Of the South are equally
interested, and we call upon them for
firm stand. If you accept the de
mands Of this corporation, you will
sign away every vestige of trade in
dependence which you possess. The
longer you work for the trust people
the closer the lines will be drawn-the
smaller your profits and the more
cxacting their demands upon you. 1t
is not possible for jobber to handle
these goods and remain an independ-
ent merchant. Sell trust goods and
you bind yourself up by complex con-
tracts which mean by far more than
you at first suppose. Continue to sell
these goods and you help establish a
trade on them, which makes you still
more a slave to the monopoly, and
which will eventually make you the
abject subject Of one of the most
aggressive corporations the world has
ever known.
What is the jobber to do? Stand
by his independence first and last.
Give the company to understand that
you run your own business that you
will handle its goods upon business
principles, but under no other circum-
stances. Let the jobbers stand to-
gether in every city of the South, and
show the American Tobacco Company
that they will hear none of its dlcta-
tons that they will preserve their in
and handle its goods only
on equal footing with the goods of
other manufacturers.

ENDOWMENT POLICY.

The old statement concern
ing Life Insurance companies,
of ones having to die to win
has time and again been ex-
ploded, not by theories, but by
numerous illustrated facts, until
now the people see the fallacy
of the idea, and every day are
investing their money in Life
Insurance on the Endowment
Plan.
The following illustration will
show what the Mutual Life is
doing for its policy-holders:
On April p, 1891, Policy

believe that thinking men will repudi-

in the glorious principles OF justice and
equal rights can afford to invite such
doctrine as that paper e1pounds into his

ask you to subscribe for THE DIS
PATCH, but We do suggest that you
cease to patronize sheet that upblnsh-
