THE PET MEANNESS.
TO BE CONTINUED.

1t is very curious that everybody,
nearly, has rooted aversion to giving
away some one thing. No matter,
how generous the man or woman may
be, in this one thing he or she is mi
ser, writes Frances Courtenay Baylor,
in Lippincott's.
Baron James Rothschild did not in
the least mind giving thousands OF
dollars to a hospital, tens Of thousands
in dozens of directions but when it
came to stamps, the great financier, it
is said, could not bear to pay the post
aye on his private letters, but would
send them at the expense of the firm.
With "Madam Chere Mere" in one of
Frederika Bremer's charming stories,
it was lace. She could give her child
rem houses and lands, and to yield
them fields and farms did not cause
her d pang; but when it came to a
question of Duchess "point," she con-
fessed that nothing could be more
painful than to part from the least bit
oft. One of the richest women in this
country boards matches as if they
were so many wands studded with
diamonds. She will give one or two
under protest, to a relative in need of
them, but she buys them by the gross,
and lights and relights them until the
last charred bit falls off, leaving her
often with burnt fingers and regret
full wish that "she could have used
that once MORE" When her children
come of age, she gives each of them
100000 with the greatest possible
cheerfullness, but if they were to ask
her for a whole box of matches, she
would feel that she was being impov-
erished, and if they took six, that she
was being robbed.
Then there is the well-known case
of the millionaire who supports news
boys home, but will never buy paper
unless he can beat down the boy who
is selling it, and get it at half price
after which he not infrequently pre-
sents him with quarter.

The Governor Favors 1t.
Columbia Register, Wednesday :,
Governor Evans says that he has
received a number of letters from Chi
cago, in reference to the proposed Cot
ton Exposition in Chicago next fall.
The governor is heartily in favor of
the idea and intends to call the atten-
tion of the legislature to the matter in
his annual message. The governor is
thoroughly of the opinion that better
trade relations can be established with
Chicago than New York.
The Winthrop Appropriation.
1t is understood that among other
things discussed at the meeting Of the
Winthrop executive committee on
Thursday night, was the amount the
legislature would be asked to appro-
pirate for its support. There is a back
debt of some $4,000 besides some
building debts yet to be liquidated,
which, with the amount necessary for
one years maintenance, will run the
total up to about $4,000. After this
the annual appropriation will 'necessa-
rily be smaller.

MCEAURIN's DIsT1NcTIoN.-Repre-
sentative McLaurin seems to have
achieved real triumph and to'haVe
done the State credit in. congress.
A. place on the ways and means COM
mittee of the house is always coveted,
and indicates that the man who getsit,
even as minority member, has made
an impression. The Washington cor
respondent of The News and Cou-
rier gives an historical review of
South Cardinals representation on
that committee. William Smith, Of
this State, was the first chatham of
that committee upon its creation in
1894. Mr.. Smith was from the Pinck-
ney district. Robert Goodloe Harper,
also of this State, succeeded Mr.. Smith
as chairman in the 9Th congress, and
Mr.. Mott, of South Carolina, from
Union, was also member. In the 9th
congress, David R. Williams, of Society
Hill, afterward governor, was men,
ber of the committee. Langdon Cheves
was South Cardinals next representa-
tive in it, being its chairman in the
18th congress. In the 18th, Theodore
Gourdin and William Lowndes, of this
State, were members. In the 17th,
Thos. R. Mitchell, of Georgetown, was
a member. George McDuffie served on
it from the 18th to the 22nd congress.
In the 25th and 26th, R. Barnwell
Rhett was member, serving on the
committee to the 30th. Francis w.
Pickens was member in the 9th con-
gress. From his retirement in 1871
until the appointment of Mr. McLau-
rim, this State was without represen-
tative on that committee.
