have their wives and children pass
the summer at home, even in San

they hurry them off to a more north

sed with this show of consideration
and love for them. Their husbands
having gotten rid of them, enjoy
themselves in a round of bachelor
pleasures. Does this bolt hit q dozen

Mining Rock But Not Paying the State
Cent. - ~
lGreenville News, l4th. ]

A private telegram received here
yesterday brought news that the Coo
saw Mining company is again at work,
having resumed operations yesterday
morning. 1t has moved its whole
plant and force to the creeks owned by
the Pacific Guano company. These
creeks are not navigable waters, but
are believed to be rich in rock of good
quality. The Coosaw company, it is
stated pays the Pacific company q
dollar ton FOR the rock mined in the
Pacific territory and will do business
in its new field as formerly.
Those who are in position to know
say that TINS move will enable the Coo
saw company to hold tne fort indehn-
itely aud will avoid the need for re-
moving its plant to Florida, which was
being seriously considered. Coosaw's
friends are now in high spirits, as the
new arrangement keeps the company
in the market and saves it from serious
loss.

BITTEN RI a MAD GOOSE.
The Wife of a Michigan Farmer Under
Treatment at the Pastuer Institute.
New York SUM-

New York Sun.
DR.. Paul Gibier of the Pastuer lnsti-
tute is treating woman from Corun-
ma, Michigan, who has a badly lacer-
ated finger. Her husband, a well-to-
do farmer, owned a large dog, which
about three months ago was bitten by
a strolling mongrel which was un-
doubtedly rabid, and in turn inserted
his teeth in the flesh of goose, pig,
and several COWS. The pig and COWS
died of hydrophobia, as ascertained by
a veterinary surgeon after an analysis
of their brains. The goose soon evinced
signs of sickness, and refused to eat.
The woman did not know the goose
had been bitten, and thinking that
something had stuck in the goose's
throat, inserted her finger to remove
the obstacle, when the goose closed its
teeth upon her finger.
She arrived yesterday and went to
the Institute, where she received three
inoculations. This will be repeated
for several days.

| The scene is wildly present in my
minds eye; and I must describe it in
the present tense. The spacious fire
place glows with heat and light. The
"oid man" sits at one corner of the
hearth and the "old woman" at the
other; while some near neighbors, male
and female, extend the circle, though
leaving vacancy toward the center of
the large chamber where the girls had
all day been engaged in their merry
work. Now the mirth begins. The
long-forgotten rustic plays have been
thrust aside by the more elegant car
nalities of cotillions and waltzes; but
my recollection of these ANTICIPATED en-
joyments are pleasant under the con-
viction of their harmlessness. They
begin with the play of "Pleased or dis
pleased?"-waving knotted handker-
chief for gently enforcing compliance.
Next, perhaps, is heard "Here we go
round the rosemary bush, so early in
the morning.; nor do they discard the
game of forfeits depending upon the
question ''fne or superfne?" in which
that very fellow Henry Schneider,
already mentioned, hoping that his
forfeit might require him to kiss Polly
Fielder, is, through plot matured by
Polly and Fritz Volllneer, condemned
to look up the chimney and cry, "Fool,
fool look at your brother; you're one
and I am another" There is one more
play which at this time is continued
"tel fur in de night" In the reversed
youthfulness OF old age that precedes
second childhood I look back, with
feelings chastened by regret for the mis-
takes of manhood, and innocently re-
membe, the thrill which animated my
heart, ofouly ten years throbbing, while
I watched with delight the kiss so Of
ten passing from theory into practice,
that night, and likewise admired the
accompanying poetry. This is the
manner of it. a chair is placed in the
centre of the room; and around it
marches procession of swains and
maidens. The young woman Of the
leading couple begins to sing in clear,
high soprano tones:
Ho, hit rains, and hit hail, and hits co-old |
stormy we-uth-er
And h'in-n-n-in comes the lan:hand-lord
drink-hipg-ing Of cider.
This is followed by the young man
singing in deep, bass tones, as he places
a hat on his partners head:
Hits put this hat on your head, keep your
head War-rum,
HITS taks swe-e-e-e-et kiss, and twill DO :
you no har-rum.
The thick, rough curtain OF recent
change drops before my eyes; and the
scene vanishes. i
