New Year superstitions.

The following superstitions in connection
with New Year are still firmly believed in
various parts of England, Ireland Scotland
and Wales:
On New Years morning go to well OF
fountain and leave an apple and a nosegay,
and the water will keep fresh and be more
wholesome all the year.
1t is bad luck to lend money on New
Years day.
Don't pay money out on New Years day.
Put money away on New Years day,
And all the year you will have money to pay.
Before locking the door FOR the night on
New Years eve place a gold coin near it,
and let 10 remain there until the church
bells ring the next morning, and you will
have plenty of money all that year.
If you wash clothes on New Years day,
one of the family will be washed out of
existence before the year is out.
1t is unlucky to have woman to be
your first visitor on New Years day
If dark complexioned man crosses your
threshold first on New Years day, you will
be prosperous; if blond, unlucky, and
if redheaded man, dire disaster will surely

So strong is the belief in this last adage
in some places that dark complexioned

An Ancient Cnstnm.

1t seems that in the olJen time it was
customary to give gloves as presents on
New YEARS. day. As they were very ex-
pensive, quite often a sum of money, called
glove money, was given instead. Some
times parents and official persons were
presented with gloves by those who wished
to conciiate or find favor with them.
There is an anecdote about Sir Thomas
Moore, who. having decided case favor
ably for a lady client, received from her ON
New Years day pair of gloves containing
forty gold coins called angels. He could
not refuse the gloves, but sent back the
COINS with this note: 5" Mistress-Since it
were against good manners to refuse your
New Years gift. / am content to take your
gloves, but as for the lining | utterly re-
fuse it. ''-Philadelphia Record.

GREETING TO THE NEW YEAR.


Your hand. New Year, since we must COM
ra,lcs be
Through the strange circles of the seasons four
Flooding in lonely paths mid drifting SNOW,
When days dark and whirling tempests
roar,
Will your strong guiding arm be round me
pressedz.
And when the ice bars melt and warm blue
streams
Laugh in the sun and leap toward the sea.
VIII you then share my happy springtime
dreams
The waking songs that birds and poets know?
And when red roses burn on Bonded sprays
And lovers roam through shadowy woodland
ways,
Will you keep kindly pace? And last, when
Lie the sweet fields, and faded leaves
down,
And we tired both and fain to rest,
VIII you be friends with me, still true and
near?
Then take my hand and heart, dear comrade

The New Year-An Invocation.

Oh, bright New Year with joyous mien,
With heart unknown to piercing woe.
Scatter abroad the gold of peace,
And bid the waves of pleasure flow!
With rhythmic sound and trembling sheen
Through the channels of each soul,
Command Wars laundering voice to cease
Bid strong armed Plenty freely dole
Comforts TO man: make Sol increase
The useful products of the green.
Hush DiscoId's voice that bringest forth
From fierce Pandora's box the ills
Unnumbered, that with lightning speed
Deep rack the bosom of the earth,
Depopulate its habitable hills,
Poison its soothing streams and rills,
And to desert change the mead.
Strike, too, the heart, deep. down. Within
O'erwhelm it with disgust for Sin.
Cause Charity and Love to reign
Triumphant DER each hill and plain.
Crush Mammon's head; to God alone
Let alteration true be shown.
Then loudl. do we shout to thee:
Welcomed welcomed

CAMP HOLT, WRlGHTsvILLE, n. C.,
Aug. 7,-l>vcrything in camp today is
quiet, it being Sunday. Our first ser
gcant went to the hospital today, hav-

sand flies and mosquitoes, but he will be
all right for dress parade this afternoon,
being in the hands of DR.. Chccscboro.
The health of the men in camp is very
good. Commssary McCarty is giving
the boys all the fish and clans they can
cat, and of course they all report for
their meals. The boys seem to re-
that Captain Duff Merrck has
placed his resignation as cap.
tain OF the company in the hands of the
colonel and that it was accepted to take
effect immediately after the encampment.
The writer was talking to Col. Har-
rcll yesterday, and he said, "Why don't
the people of Asheville offer the grounds
for the encampment there as it has to be
changed next year. because the men
an not stand this camp"

sand flies and mosquitoes so bad that
the men could not even pretend to 90 tc
bed at night, and the grounds are not
worth $25 to the state for cncampment
In fact il they do not make change il
will stop encampmeuts altogether
In talking with several captains, they
seem to be well pleased with the idea o.
coming to Ashevile. 1t has been sug
gested that a meeting Of the officers o.
the Fourth regiment be called to settle
the matter. The staff, captains and
privates, all want to come to Ashevile
and think there is no doubt if the people
of Ashevilc will offer the grounds for the
encampment, it will certainly come. OF
course Asheville will do it and give the
boys royal reception. II.

BETTER THAN A SHOW MULE
An Animal which Perform ed
wonders and Then Died.

LlNcoLNToN, N. c., Aug. S,-Mr. Ab-
scion Avery. the proud owner Of fine
young mule last Saturday, rode over
and spent the night with his friend Law
son Shuiford, who lives two miles north
of Lincolnton. During the nj ,ht the
mule burst a plank out of the stable
door, thrust his head out at the opening,
caught the pin fastening of the same in
his teeth and pulled it out. The wooden
pine still bears the imprint OF his teeth.
Thus freed he sought pastures green
for adventures new, finally rounding up
at the Chester and Lcnoir narrow
Gauge railroad, where he attempted the
remarkable feat of walking on one of its
trestles laid simply with cross ties.
These he plumbcd admirably as his hool
prints attest until when nearing the op-
postc bank a misstep plunged him into
the depths below. where he met death
without a struggle.
The loss falls heavily on MIR. Avery,
who is Confederate pcnsioner and a
tenant, and only few weeks since lost
a horse by snake bites-thesc two con.
stituting his entire stock OF horse flesh.-

NASHVILLE, Aug. 10,-Govcrnor Buch-

Clay King to Imprisonment for life.
Hundreds of petitions have poured in
upon the governor asking executive
clcmcncy. The faithful wife and daugh-
ter of King have been in Nashville for
ten days and upon bcnded knee with
tears in their eyes have asked for COM
mutation.
The reasons for the communication were
those stated in the habcas corpus case as
to the jury visiting Arkansas, and other
charges against them.
1t developed today that an application
had been made to Justice Harlan, of the
United States supreme court, to have
the case taken before the United States
supreme court on writ of error, but
that Justice Harlan sustained Judge
Jackson's decision and refused the ap-
plication.
The petition, asking clemcncy for King
