Kisses Of Various Kinds.

To steal kiss is natural; to buy kiss
is stupidity; two girls who kiss is loss
of time; not to kiss at all is an inslgnlh'
canoe; two men who.kiss is quite ridicul'
Gus; to kiss the hand or the tip OF the
fingers is droll; to kiss ones wife is an
obligation; to kiss child is often regret
for not being permitted to kiss the mother
to kiss an ugly person is gallantry; to kiss
an old, faded widow shows great devoted
ness, but.to kiss young, blushing widow
is a charm; to kiss ones af1anced is q
premeditation and right; to kiss an old
rich aunt is a hypocricy; to kiss young
cook in the bloom of age is delicious
dainty; to kiss neighbor's wife is doubt
less very good, but kissing three girls in
the same day is extravaganza; girl whose
father is watching her, it may make one
lump over the fence; to kiss mother-in.
law is sacrifice; an old maid it is polite
ness; finally, kiss to ones mother is the
purest, the sweetest of all kisses.

COwnlDlNG IN COLUMBIA.
John G. Mobley and ". Boyd Evans in Mix
up-Mobley Uses Cowhide

John u. Mobiey ana ". boyo evans III "'"'
up-Mobley Uses Cowhide
Last Thursday morning sensational
difficulty occurred in Columbia, on law
range, between John G. Mobley, of Fair
field, and W. Boyd Evans, of Columbia,
both of whom are candidates for Railroad
Commissioner. The trouble grew out OF
politics.
It appears that some years ago Mobley
had some trouble in Georgia, and requi-
sition for forgery was issued for him. He
claims this was done for spite and that
the matter was settled and his character
vindicated.
Recently he learned that Evans had
secretly been showing this paper, or a
COPY of it, and using it against him for
political purposes.
Thursday morning he provided him.
self with a cowhide and, accompanied by
his cousin, approached Evans, who failed
to give satisfactory explanation OF the
matter, whereupon Mobley raised his
cowhide and attempted to give Evans a
flogging. A crowd gathered at once, and
the men were separated and arrested be-
fore any material damage was done on
either, side although few blows passed.
They were placed under peace bonds,
and next day were tried in the recorders
court of the city. Mobley pleaded guilty
to the charge of assault and was fined
$50, which he promptly paid. Evans
pleaded not guilty, and the rgeagainst
him was dismissed. None of the parties
were armed at the time of the trouble.
A few days later Evans gave out a
signed statement of the affair, and the
next day Mobley came out with his signed
statement, in which he gave a version of
the difficulty, stating that Evans had
made false statements in his card and
that Evans's conduct in the fight was as
cowardly as his action in showing the
paper. Here the matter rests for the
present. Whether it will be renewed or
not and in more dangerous manner, no
one can say.
In last Mondays State there is two
column article in reference to the Mobley-
Evans difficulty. Statements from J. E.
Mcdonald, Esq, and number of other
prominent men were printed, showing
conclusively that the charge against Mr..
Mobley had been fully investigated in
the courts and his character vindicated.
Statements published from gentlemen in
Columbia fully sustained Mobley's YER
sion of the difficulty, they stating that
Evans did not strike Mobley.

Baby.

Baby drank the lamps all dry,
To see if oil would make him die;
And, his eyes agleam with fun,
He told his daddy what he'd done.
Father answered with pout:
"If the electric lights give out,
Thanks to your confounded tricks,
Well be in a frightful fix"
Then baby bit a match in two,
And was waited up the flue,
Now he's waiting in the skies,
While St. Peter briskly cries: .
Front. One sheet and harp, boys size"

BATTLE
Expected Fight Between KurOpat-
kin and KurOki Begins.

st. Petersburg, Aug. AT last the
decisive battle of the campaign seems
to be in progress. Having completed
his enveloping movement of the Rus
sian position, Gen. Kuroki has ordered
simultaneously an advance from all
points against Haicheng and Liaoyang.
Fighting is raging on both fronts
this afternoon. The latest reports con
tain nothing yet c~onfirmatory of the
rumOr that Gen. Kuropatkin has been
defeated. According to Kuropatkin's
ocffiial dispatch to the emperor, the
battle began for the possession at 81.
mouchen, which is located at the
juncture of the Fengwangcheng and
Siuyen roads.
from the east above the two roads,
while a third, under Gen. Oku, moved
up east of the railroad from Tatche-
kiao, to try to out off the Russian force
there from Haicheng. If the latter
move is successful this force will be
crushed. A portion of Gen. Kuroki's
army at the same time advanced
against Gen. Count Keller's position
at Khavuen, east of L~iaoyang, trying
the favorite japanese plan of outafink-
ing him on the right. Still further
north on the Siamtazsa-L iaoyang road
the Japanese moved forward against
Houtsiatse, twenty five miles from
L~iaoyang. At all points the japanese
employed artillery to the best advan-
tage.
Gen. Kuropatkin's situation will be
desperate in the event of his defeat.
The keenest anxiety is felt at the war
office for news of the progress of the
battle. The general staff seems utterly
dumbfounded at the number of men
the japanese possess and consequently
K~uropatkin's statement that they are
landing another heavy force at the
port of Newchwang adds to the solicit
tude.

P~HOSPHORIC CLOUD.
Strange Phenomenon on BOaLd Ship
Near Delaware Breakwater.

Strange Phenomenon on BOaLd Ship
Near Delaware Break water.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-The British
ship Mohican, while making for the
Delaware Breakwater, encountered a
strange phenomenon. A cloud of phos-
phoric appearance enveloped the ves-
sci, ~magnetizing everything on board.
Captain Urquhart says the vessel and
crew had a fiery coating.
"When the sailors saw it, said the
captain, ''they rushed along the deck
in CONSERVATION. | looked at the nee-
die and it was flying around like an
electric fan. | ordered several of the
crew to move some chains that were
lying on the deck, thinking to distract
their attention. The sailors could not
bulge the chains, although they did
not weigh more than rs pounds each.
Everything was magnetized, and
chains, bolts, spikes and screws were
as tight on the deck as if they had
been riveted there.
1.-The cloud was SO dense that it was
impossible for the vessel to proceed.
| could not see beyond the decks. 1t
appeared as if the whole world was a
mass of glowing fire. The sailors fell
on the deck and prayed. Suddenly the
cloud began to lift, the phosphorescent
glow on the ship disappeared and the
crew began to cover.
lin a few minutes the cloud passed
over the vessel, and we saw it moving
off over the sea-
