Odd Provision For the Safety of Liners.

"Do you know" said n prominent
shipping 4 'that it is Il rule with
the big transatlantic steamship com
panies that the wife of the captain shall
not travel in his ship? It's "a fact. The
company strongly prohibits its captains
from taking their wives aboard with
them. Tho superstition is that if any
thing should happen to the ship tho
captain. instead Of attending to his pub
lie duty, would devote his attention
mainly to the safety Of his wife. So
that if the wife Of a captain wants to
go abroad she must take passage in
some other vessel. This rule also holds
in many OF the freight lines. "-Phila-
delphiu Record.

The Ashes Of the Dead.

The art and fnc spirit Of James Rus
sell Lowell are still quite frequently
spoken Of in the literary circles Of Lol-
don, and anecdotes Of him are told with
keen enjoyment. On che occasion at a
large banquet the reculiarities Of Amer
ican speech were diseased with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell
loudly, so as to silence all other speak
ers:
'There IS one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen so foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They talk
of the ashes of the dead We don't
burn corpses. No Englishman would use
a phrase SO absurd. y
"And yet" said Mr.. Lowell gently,
"your poet Gray says, speaking Of the
dead:
"E'en in our ashes live their wonted fires.
"And in the burial service of the
church of England it is said, Dust to
dust and ashes to ashes. We sin in good
company" A cordial burst of applause
greeted this prompt rejoinder.

There Is Always Something Amusing, Plo-

The landlord at the Hotel de Paris
was very patient and good humored
with US, though we walked him all
over his own house before we chose
room that opened upon small, dark,
well-like court, full Of palms and orange
trees and With fountain. He seemed
delighted when he found that we were
satisfied. "You know" he told US, 81
always say that strangers who come to
Seville in the summer time must be
mad
Yet only in the summer time does
one see the true character Of the coun-
try, and more especially of Seville. The
town was as hot as, if not hotter than,
Cordova. All it's stock amCsements were
off for the time. There were no gypsy
dances, no bull fights, but nothing could
have been gayer and more animated
than the mere aspect of the place Its
narrow alleyways, where the Hower
ladeu balconies almost met above our
heads, were lined with houses, shining
white or pale rose or green or gold in
the sunlight. The market places were
at all hours crowded with gathering
and laughing peasants, while the air,
perhaps, was cooled by a fountain play
ing in the center The shops opened
easternlike, without windows, upon the
streets. their wares tumbling out al
most at ones feet.
Hardly green square but had gau-
dy little booth at each corner, where
old men or women sold fresh water and
sweet iced drinks. No matter IN what
direction we went there was always
something amusing, pictorial or dramat-
ic. Now it was wonderful church or
convent or hospital, with fine famboy-
ant doorway and romantic associations,
or again it was garden Of palms, a
high miradcr, afame with roses; dark
interior, with oxen in the far shadows;
long arcade, making frame for the
Moorish wall Of the cathedral mosque,

Fire Cracker Accidents.

There were comparatively few Christmas
accidents in this city and DO casualties, and
for this immunity the parents of the small
boys should be deeply grateful. There were,
however, two accidents but as the boys who
met with bad luck were cot seriously injured,
they should themselves give thanks aud re-
solve 10 be less careless in future.
Staucill Smith, the Postal Telegraph mes
senger boy, exploded large cannon cracker
in his hand and the result of his experiment
was margled finger 1t was found neces-
sary to amputa,e the first finger of his right
hand, and he is now carrying the injured
member in sling, while substitute is on
duty at the Postal Office.
Walter Power, the Youngest con of Rev.
W. G. Power, burned his face very painfully
and sioged the larger part of the hair from
his head by setting FIRE to handful of gun
power. Walter is Ros as pleasant to look at
since the accident, but be escaped without
serio1s ipjary, bis eyes being unhort.
There may have been other accidents, but
the sufferers are keeping it quiet.

THE ELLERBE TIN WEDDING 3
An Icteresting Celebration in the
Hagood Section.

Mr. Editor Dutiog the melting days of
last July, when the writer of these lines was
a candidate for legislative houors, we paid
our first visit to the Hagood section, and the
memory of that visit stands out prominently
among the many pleasant events of this year
OF our life We were, therefore, pleased to
recently Pay another visit to this section to
attend celebration which was unique to ns
aud would be Of interest to anyone.
In the historic town of old Winnsboro,
ten years ago, Mr. Elliott Ellerbe and Miss
Lou Gaillard plighted their troth aud it was
the celebration of the tenth anniversary OF
this happy event-the tin wedding ng-which
re recently sttended near Hagood. This
latter event occurred last Tuesday night, and
was attended by srge and happy crowd Of
friends The host and hostess received many
useful presents (all made of tin) and the oc-
casion was marked by an elegant supper, over
which grace was said by the Rev. William
Barnwell, of S,ateburg. The evening was
passed in pleasant. social conversation. q
From what we saw of the young ladies of
the Hagood section that night, we feel safe
in saying that in this respect (as we'll as
others) this portion of Sumter County can
