4 bit of old Spain transplanted to the New World would possibly be the best way of describing the stage settings utilized in Rosabel Mor- rison's beautiful production Of Car men. Mere scenery has not sufiiced to complete the pictures, but the atmosphere has seemingly been transplanted and remarkable re- suits have been reached by the prop CT use of calcium lights. The entire production artistic to a degree, the dresses harmonizing with the scenery and lights.

The Giving of Presents.

We are just entering upon a sea- son which it seems to me is the most demoralizing of the year, by reason of the practice of giving presents in- diseriminately at a certain time, e,says Enos Embry, in the Chicago Record The giving of present, which should be d touching testimonial of regard or affeetioH, has becapie largely meaningless under the custom that has grown up We have often heard the remark about this time Of year "I have so many to whom to give presents I don't know how to make my money go around" Most folk always seem glad when the holi- day season is over, and that Christ mas comes but once year" Peo- pie remember presents received in the past and deny themselves to recipr0- cate. They give as others do, so as not to be looked upon os stingy On the other hand, the habit of giving has led to the habit of expecting, and the state of mind resulting must have suggested the definition of grat- itude, "a lively sense of favors yet to be received" If the expectation of gifts were confined to children it would not be so bad, but the right to receive has taken such a hold upon the adult mind that in Eng land (whenee come so many of our customsl people have claimed invest ed right in sinecures and pensions, so that the government had to buy out the leeches to get rid of them. The most striking instance of claiming the right to receive occurred in the case of New York fire insurance president some years ago. He was removed from a $40, ,000a yearposition and retired on $20,0O0 annual allowance. He had been in the habit of getting. in addition to his salary, a Christmas present of $25, 900. After his removal, when Christmas came around without his usual donation, he sued tha company for his present. Bnt this man merely anticipated the logical outcome of the present insan- ity. Coercive practices have grown up in large establishments where em- ployes are required to subscribe for presents to foremen and others. 1 know of a ease in an organ factory where men were discharged for re- fusing to contribute to present to the superintendent.
 Nothing is sweeter to witness than the joy of child over some beauti- ful or appropriate present. But why should present-giving be feature of one season more than another? Why should legitimate purchases or the payment of debts be postponed so as to buy presents? Why should the stores of business in general be congested at one particular time? Why should clerks. expressmen and letter carriers be worked to death at inadeq pay so as to crowd into few weeks business that would be done in any case, and done under circumstances more conducive to health and comfort? The whole custom is demoralizing; it is nothing less than q debanch, with it's natural results.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
s. E DaYIs shoots aud Seriously Wounds a
 Drunken Negro.

S E Davs shoots aud Seriously Wounds a
 nrunken Negro.
 A shooting afray took place on the Allis place, below this city, at an early hour last evening, which resulted3in ] drunden negro being seriously, if not dangerously wounded by Mr. B. s. Davis, a well known white planter
 The story of the shooting, as learned by a GRAPHIC reporter is as follows:
 A drunken nero, yesterday after noon, returning from Pine Bluff, stopped at the home of Mr. Davis and began cursing and using vile language. Mir. Davis ordered him to move on or else quit swearing on the premises. The negro became more abusive and insulting and finally left, with threats that he would return and "do" Davis.
 A short time after his departure he did return, armed, and fired at Mr. oavis, who saw him coming and was prepared for him. The aim of the negro was poor, and he missed. Mir Davis proved the bet ter shot, for when he fired the ne- gro, whose name we are unable to learn, fell to the ground badly wounded. So far as we know, MT. Davis has not yet been arrested.
