THIS is GROUNDING DAY.
The Weathcr-PrOphet VIII Have
Chance to See His Shadow To-Day.

Yesterday was by all odds the coolest
day of the winter. The low ebb of the
mercury was not the only thing that poor
suffering humanity had to contend with,
for from the northeast there came a
whitening wind, that defied all efforts to
keep warm. Many, however, found salts
faction in the thought that skating could
not be far off, and by this morning their
hopes should be realized, for at midnight
the thermometer registered twelve de-
grees of frost, and was still falling.
Mr.. f. A. Evans, director Of the local
Weather Bureau, has predicted fair wea-
Their for to-day, with bright prospects for
several days to come.
This forecast will bring anything but
comfort to the superstitious, for to-day is
Candlemas-Day. and the old legend runs:
If Candlemas-Day be bright and clear,
Therell be two winters in one year.
Another tradition is that the ground
hog invariably makes his appearance on
February I'd. and the sight of his own
shadow will send him to his hole again
for six weeks. during which time the
tempests are sure to rage.

The CO1ored, People Were strlek
Hard ~ tie Fever.
Perhaps you ray Not thing that the
Kloodike fever struck the colored peo-
pie down our way said Mr.. j. g. Hask-
ins, of South Carolina, to Washington
Post Representatives.
It struck them hard, and the fever
ragged with great virulence, particularly
in Charleston, for quite period. It is
in order, however, to state that there
has been great abatement of the
malady so far assthe Senegambian ele-
ment of our town is concerned. The man
who would be rash enough to say sKlon-
dixie to lot of colored Charlestonians
would be in imminent danger of being
ripped open. with razor.
A week or so ago there appeared in
Charleston one of the glibbest-talking
darkies that ever hit the old city. He
famed the rising excitement about the
gold fields of Alaska with cunning art,
and he held forth about the wealth to be
gathered just for the.mere going after
it, till he had his audiences well-nieh
crazy. At the proper time he sprung
his scheme, which was nothing more
Aoh 1893 thdH the OTSdnlZaIiOn OF NIOn-
dixie clubs for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the colored race. The negroes
had just as much right to the gold that
lay round loose up there as ANYBODY,
and if they didn't avail themselves of
the glorious opportunity to become rich
they were the biggest fools on earth.
All they had to do was TO join tie clubs
and get an interest in, the profits that
would accrue. The more money each
Individual contributed the more would
be his share of the proceeds, and the pro-
moter advised everybody to invest every
dollar that could be raised
Well, those people fairly tumbled over
each other in subscribing to the Klon-
dixie enterprise. The sleek promoter
was in no hurry, but after several days
OF fat collections he concluded he had
worked his Charleston compatriots
sufficiently, and decamped for fresh
pastures. It is safe to say that his col
ored carcass wouldn't be worth a con-
per if ever he shows up in that com
munity again. It was a great bunco
game, but it can't be worked twice in
the same town.

which they were once the means Of
saving his life. He became very i'll

physician ordered him to at once gi We
up smoking, which he did, and soon
came out Of the clutches of his dis
ease. After this he went on smoking
in perfect health. An old lady
friend Of Twain's took sick about the
same time. She was an exceptional
old Lady and when the same doctor
was called he ordered her to give ur
her bad habits, but as she had lone
she was unable 20 comply. She con-
sequently died. Mark says that il
she had possessed bad habits like
himself, she could have stopped then
and got we'll. He always has large
