All Saints.

Tuesday, the 1st, was the festi-

by appropriate services in the
Catholic church throughout Christ

in the 18th century, when the Ro-
man Pantheon was converted into
a place of Christian worship and
dedicated by The then Pope to the
Virgin and all martyrs. In our
climate, which allows it, the day
is marked by the decoration of
graves with flowers; and especially
in New Orleans this beautiful GUS
tom is universal, Catholics, Prot

is not a play in the usual sense OF
the term; indeed, in the swift rush
and swirl of amultitude of special
ties the slight thread of drama
around which they circled was lost
sight OF entirely. Tastes differ,
and he who loves the circus may
yawn at the line old tve-aet

THE Governors" appeals TO all
tastes. Ii Is Il circus; Il minstrel
show; concert; a ballet, Il farce;
a potpourri. There is refined
comedy, horse play, Jokes galore,
chestnutty and otherwise, music,
dancing, burlesque, and spice of
everything which can enter into a
theatrical exhibition. The dane
ing was very good indeed. The
farce specialties were capital. The
girls were pretty, and there was
something attractive even about
Miss Edie OFT. The quartette
singing in imitation of banjos,
mandolins. guitars and Scotch bag
pipes was very clever. For chose
who liked them the minstrel gag
and circus clown features were eX-
ceIlent The funny business" of
Messrs. Ward & Vokes was highly
enjoyed by part OF the audience.
Taken altogether, the play was
highly satisfactory. The most
serious drawback was the refec-
ton that the price of a seat was
one dollar, to see play which
would not have cost over % cents
at the outside in any city in the
land. This however, is the fault |
of Greenville. which has no thea
tire, and not of Ward and Vokes.

The Hon. T. G. Catchings spent
Thursday and Friday in Green
vile. He did not make a public
address, but was the recipient of
81 enthusiastic private welcome,
as is always the case on the occa-
sions of his visits to Greenyille.
The loyalty of this city to Mr..
Catchings is often the subject
of remark, but ceases to be re-
markable when it is considered
that Greenyille probably owes its
very existence to his efforts for the
preservation of its front. Except
for the generous appropriations
obtained through his instrumental
ity, it is quite possible that the
Mississippi might now be flowing
serenely over the locality occupied
by the city's most important bus
mess and public buildings.

YOUR. Offices are held at fixed prices by
metropolitan and provincial authorities !;
taxes are collected in full, but are deci-
mated before they reach the imperial
treasury; "the big fish eat the little
fish, and the little fish eat mud, by
which simile the Chinese proverb ex-
presses aptly the fact that the great
officials feed upon the smaller ones and
that they in turn feed upon the people.
No official position in the empire can be
obtained without the use of money, nor
retained without illegal practices. If
then nothing can be hoped for from the
rulers of China, what can be said about
the student class which is placed at the
head of the four divisions of the people?
This class is conceited beyond endur-
ance; they still speak of the "'round
heaven and square earth and dilate
upon the five elements.
Foreigners are still to them barbarians

propriety; the five great continents rep
resent only divisions of ancient feudal
states tributary to their country, and
commerce is despised as only being tax

POULTRY POINTERS.

In selecting the eggs for Matching choose
those of a uniform size
To secure the best results put coyen hens
and one rooster together.
Better an empty craw and activity than
a gorged one and torpidity.
If hens comb becomes frosted, lhe
will not lay until IL heals up.
Now is good time to arrange the coops
and yards for the spring Matching.
A small hen will lay as large eggs as
heavy one and will require less room.
just before the early pullets begin to lay
their combs will swell up and turn red.
Nothing adds so much to the comfort of
the fowls as we'll lighted poultry house.
Do not let dressed poultry freeze before
packing. 1t gives it blue, pinched look.
Unless the eggs are wanted for Matching
there is no possible advantage in keeping
cocks
Tar in the drinking water will usually
prevent the spread Of roup among the
fowls.
Granulated oatmeal makes good feed
for little chickens for the first two or three
weeks.
When the hens have plenty of opportu-
nifty for exercise, they are not likely to get
too fat.
Tobacco stems covered with straw are an
excellent preventive of insect breeding in
the nests.

ing one pound of copperas in two gallons
