From our Regular. Correspondent)
January with its variable weather has
left us, and February the month which
contains the day sacred to st. Valentine
-14th-is current. Up to date it has been
boisterous Snow, sleet and rain seem
ingly vie with one another in keeping
our roads unpleasant for travelling.
The schools of the district SO far as
our knowledge goes are progressing fair
ly well. Schools properly conducted
are manufactures of power. Pupils ac-
quire possessions which can neither be
bought or sold. Give the children edu-
cation. Not puppets or machines, but
personal beings are to be educated.
Colds and pneumonia prevail to some
extent. Stop a moment. What COM
plants have been brought on by impru
dence-for the want of knowing when
to stop. We ask is not over exercise in
the ball room frequently productive of
colds, headache, etc. Wisdom teaches
us to be moderate. If we would stop a
moment-to think-how often our con-
dition would be ameliorated.
We notice that wheat despite the un-
favorable weather is growing well.
Mr.. Joseph Richardson, Of st. Jerome's
Neck, succeeded in filling his ice house
recently with an excellent quality of
ice.
Messrs. Wilkinson and Garner and
Birch Brothers, merchants at st. Inigo's,
have full stores. Their margin of profit
is reasonable. Messrs Allen Tylers's
and Aleck Tensions stores being near
the water it is presumable that their bus
mess is more prosperous
Our blacksmiths, Messrs. Martin and
Henry While are kept busily engaged.
They understand the art of shooting
horses. They thoroughly understand the
anatomy of the feet of this useful animal
The iron used is of the best material
The intelligent working in iron and
civilization mark the current period.
Did not iron mark the latest period of
primeval development
Democrats are taking steps very war
ily and do not trust to any but their
leaders to conduct them forward in the
way of possible success in the future. It
seems TO us that they are determined TO
press on. If we mistake not the mys-
terry of Napoleons career was this-un-
der all difficulties, etc, press on.
Ministers of the gospel are striving to
do their duty They fail not to empha-
size the great foundation fact that Christ
is the Alpha and Omega of the Chris
tian's faith. A world of wonders is in
every word of this expression.

THAT PAIR OF OVERALLS.
THE REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS AT
THE MUSEUM OF ART.

INTENDED AS SAFEGUARDS FOR THE coLhEo-
T1oNs AND THE COMFORT or THE GENERAL
pt'BIfc-pOoR PEOPLE WELCOME AND IN
TEREsTEp At THE AsToR LIBRARY.
In the course of the recent controversy which
grew ont of the refusal of the custodian OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art to permit a man
who wore overalls to enter the buiIdihg' Il sen
constituted champion Of the excluded man sa'u
TO General Louis p. di Cesnola secretary OF the
Museum:
How dare you refuse to admit any man 10
this building? Does it not belong to the CITY,
with all that is in 1t, and has not any cltizeh'
whether he wears broadcloth or oVeraiis' 'hc
right to come and go as he pleases?
General III Cesnola surprised the man when ne
said:
when we exclude men who wear overals we
act in keeping with the laws which govern the
institution and as to the collection being the
property Of the cty-that is popular error.
The city owns the building and the cases In

nut them on before they could enter; put the ma
iority put on their coats. and many asked par
don for having attempted to enter without
them"
As To overalls an attendant SAID:
This IL not our first experience ny sie"
deal we have had hundreds of cases before now
but whom the men were told that our rules were
explicit on the subject they made no complaint
and either complied with 1t or went away peacc-
fully. It is not generally known that the man
who comes with overalls on may enter the
Museum without much trouble If he removes
them they will he checked and taken care OF Dy
the check clerk: or IL he wishes to do so. ne may
carry them while he is in the gallery. But ior
the protection Of others we must insist that they
be not worn In the building"
But suppose the overalls arc new and as spot
less as the silk dresses Of the women who come
pay days"
Even then they must be excluded, because 1t
would not be possible to have every garment ex-
amined and its cleanliness made subject for
debate and discussion. Overalls are worn to pro-
tect the other garments from dirt and may rea-
sonablv be looked upon unclean; that Is the
reason for the rule against them

the galleries are for the rich to the exclusion OF

The Charleston News and Courier
says that South Carolina is in better
financial condition than at any time
since the war. The merchants have
made good collections, the manufac-
turing enterprises are in a healthy
condition, the farmers having general
" paid all debts contracted in making
the last crop, and they discharged a
great deal of their past indebtedness.
There has been great falling off in
tho purchase of farm supplies from
outside resources, the cribs and smoke
houses are better filled than they have
been in years, and hog and hominy are
triumphant.
