Customers who show by their manner
that they prefer to be alone with their
thouchts while under the razor are never
ANNOYED, says an exchange.
A great deal has been said about the
talkativeness of BARRIERS, bat if those who
try to be funny on that subject were
better posted they would find a reason
for it other than the mere loquacity of
the barber.
It is infinitely easier to handle Gus
toner who is interested in conversa-
ton. This is particularly true of a
nervous or fdgity man, who, if the oper-
alton goes ON in silence, becomes rest
less and growls at the razor, or objects
to the way IN which he is being shaved.
The talk takes his mind away from his
face, so that he is often surprised to find
the work finished when he thought 1T
scarcely begun.
A barber never gets into an argument
with his customer. His opinions veer
around like a weather vane to suit the
particular man upon whom he may be
operating at the time. The conversation
dodge is merely one of the tricks of the
trade. Of course there are a few young
er members Of the tOnsOrial fraternity
who use little Judgment in talking to
customers, and 10 one is more amused
than their fellow BARRIERS when they gel

victim of their gabble--Exchange

A Mistake.

EDITOR HERALD:-I know that
our County Court sometimes makes
mistakes, and 1 know that when she
finds cut her mistakes, she Is ready
to correct them. l think the time
has come for her to correct q mistake
she made about the Mt. Pleasant
turnpike. The Supreme Court de-
cided that the owners OF this pike
could 10 longer collect tolls, on ac-
count of certain defects, but lett the
right of the property, that Is the toll
houses, rOad-beIs ETC., still In the
owners hands. The company then
procured from the State anew char
ter, under which they might repair
the defects, and not lose lLelr prop
erty. They, however, could not re-
pair the defects, and reconstruct
their pike. without the consent OF the
County Court. The court refused to
give. her cOn-ent, and deciued to run
the pike herself. She took posses
sion, and without paying the owners
one cent, or repairing the defects, Is
charging the same tolls the old COM
pany charged.
AS look at it, this is great mis-
take, not TO say q great wrong. A
great wrong to the owners OF this
property as well as to the people
travelling the road, and mistake
which ought to be corrected. The
mistake aud the wrong, may both be
partially corrected. To this end | re-
spectfully suggest, for the considera-
ton of my brother Magistrates, tha'
we do one of these things. First, pay
the old company fOI this property
second, pay them rent for it.
Third, pay them interest for the1l
| Investment.
The county has recognized theil
right to the property by paying then
rent for their toll houses. The road
bed is as much their property as the
toll-houses and tolls; and there is the
same reason for paying for one as thu
other. The income for tolls, if prop
erly managed, will be ample, as tn
history Of the road shows, to pay tn
expenses of running the road, ant
the interest on the investment.
Surely the County Court will no
keep this property without some re
muneration to the owners.

In the demands of the Populftes,
extremes meet. Indeed, they make
no demands that are not extrava-
CANT.
The Republicans in their most ar
rogant days, never dared propose q
scheme so utterly destructive OF
states rights and SO fatally centraliz-
ing in its effect as the demand OF
the Third party for the Govern
ment ownership of railroads, tele'
craphs. &c, and the softest money
Democrats would have been ap'
palled at the idea Of deluging the
country with the billions OF rag
money which the Populites so glibiy
propose.

struck aghast the widest spectators

If put into effect, we should have
repetition of the fearful bankruptcy
which two years ago resulted to the
people of the Argentine Republic
from the breaking of a similar finan
ciaI bubble. The balance of the pla&

1t is surprising that any man witt
