NoElo Ends.

When there is choice Of roads to Or
rive at a certain goal. it is not always
the shortest which should be chosen.
The desire for money is a Legitimate
cne, for money IS the key which unlocks
many opportunities. But the ways
which men take 10 acquire it are too
numerous to recount and differ with
every difference of character. There are
men who firmly resolve to obtain wealth
by whatever means they think will ac-
complish their end. They will get all
they can and give as little as possible
for it. All such unfairness is practical
robbery. The winner is the robber; the
loser is the robbed. Both are injured
the one in his property, the other in his

wise impoverished. But directly you
bring labor into the feld-honest, intel
ligcnt work-some real addition is at
once made to the wealth Of the cor-
munity and to the character, self respect

The Gallery Sileaced.

1t was not through her singing that
the late Jenny Hill made her first sue.
cess on the variety stage. Itwas through
her splendid power of repartee. She
was making her first appearance at a
small east end (London) music hall. A
rude man il the gallery interrupted,
and the chairman was powerless to
quiet him. Then Jenny Hill stepped
forward. Let me speak to him." she
said, and, stepping to the front of the
stage, she talked to him for half an
hour. She called him every abusive
name in singularly rich vocabulary
and compared him to every offensive
thing she could think of. The audience
cheered her to the echo, and the man

THE GOVERNOR NO POLITICIAN.

Governor Ellerbe has appointed
Capt. J. Elmore Martin, ex-chief Of
police of tue city OF Charleston, sher-
if to succeed the late sheriff, Hugh
Ferguson. This appointment has
caused the Newssand Courier to vom-
it up whole forest Of epicac, and
during its efforts to get rid OF the
bile on it's stomach, i: admits that
Captain Martin is an honorable man
and will make Charleston good Off
Ger. According to the News and
Courier, Captain Martin is man OF
high character, good clean official
and private record, and viii make an
efficient officer, but still his appoint
,nent has made our contemporary
very, very sick. Well. if Captain
Martin is as good a man as the News
and Courier claims him to be, Char
lesion need not be worried over the
bad case affecting some of that citys
political representatives. The good
citizens are more interested IN get
ting an efficient and worthy official to
conduct the important office Of sheriff
than they are on gratifying the News
and Courier or the politicians.
The Columbia State has given tie
News and Courier some cruel slaps
since Gov, E!lerbe has shown himself
able 70 defy politicians and oews-
paper dictation, ard the appointment
in this case proves another thing,
which is, that the present Governor
OF South Carolina is TO politician, as
many OF his political enemies would
accuse him OF being. II Governor
Ellerbe was politician, here was an

y rrencn Girl at Play.

Among US it is nor only 4 woman s
duty to please; she Goes it by instinct.
The tniest girls do it unconsciously.
Just watch them IS they walk III the
avenues of our public parks. They have
all the unstudied grace and case Of real
ladies, and, indeed, they fully suspect
that approving eyes watch them as they
skip the rope, for ccquetry, which is
much more subtle and more delicate
than firtation-less direct, too, III its
aims innate with them. They are not
ambitious of winning the admiration of
boys of their own age. They look down
with disdain On such admirers. They
aspire to please big people. In their in
tercourse with little playmates there is
a great deal Of ceremony. Nothing could
be more amusing than the manner of a
little girl who, having come to the con-
clusion by the general appearance Of an
other little girl that she is worthy of
the honor she is about to confer on her,
finally asks her to play at hide and seek.
II some brave young person walks up
to a group OF players with the time hon
ored phrase "Mademoiselle, will you
allow me TO play with you:" q sharp
and comprehensive glance at once de-
cides either the reserve Or the warmth
of the reply. Matters would hardly take
a different form in a drawing room in
the case of q more serious introduction.
The gestures, the bows, the little looks,
the smiles, are copies of their mammals,
and yet they are al perfectly natural in
the sense that they are merely follow
ing their own nature without q trace of
that self consciousness that puts on
airs" of any kind. This Anglo-Saxon
quality of self consciousness III both its
good and bad points is Incompatible

TIE people of Charleston who are

that city that Governor ElIe,be is a

other sources OF information will be
sought for besides their morning

We are satisfied that before many
