The First Wonfan Whip,

Who was the first femme cochere?" To the Princess de Metternich, a lady of quality in the fullest meaning of the word, who fOurished under the second empire, this honor must be accorded, says tie London Chronicle. For in the days when the woman whip was very rare spectacle indeed this daunt- less dame was frequently to be seen driving her phaeton through Paris. One day two faeetious youths took fl lnto their heads to signal to her. "Pst, cochere" The princess entered into the spirit of the joke. She drew up. By tue hour," said the two, seating them. selves. "Where?' "Bois de Boulogne." She whipped up without another word and drove off to the Bois. After si- lent tour of something over an hour the merry twain began to tire and asked to be put down. "Very good, citizens," said the "cochere," depositing them and holding out her hand. My fare is 300 francs per hour for my poor" In the event the laugh proved to be on her side.

Women and Cards.

It seems that the passion for card playing among Jewish women is not O. recent date. More than century ago Miss Rebecca Franks wrote:
 "The ladies of Philadelphia have more cleverness in the turn of an eye than those of New York have in their whole composition. With what ease have I seen a Chew, a Penn, an Os- wald or an Allen and a thousand oh CTS entertain large circle of both sexes, the conversation without tl,.' aid of cards never Tagging nor seen, ing in the least strained or stupid.

Phases of the National Game.

There are two sides to almost any thing, and the nat; ;)1al game is fas from being an exception.

In the heart of the baseball ,,., triot OUT club is band of heroes, go li;. out to conquer other cities and upholt our honor.

Deed of a Gallant Nobody.

It is not always the information car ried by the recognized aids-decamp to and from the commanding officer in battle which is of highest value. There was supreme moment during the bat tie of Waterloo when the Duke Cf Wellington was left absolutely alone and that not when he was running the risk of capture by sailing through the enemy's lines. It simply meant tn"
 every galloper had gone his way, eacl, with his message At this moment [ stranger rode ;;p to the duke and quiet ly asked, Can l be of any use, sir?' The duke took one glance at him ant unhesitatingly answered, "Yes. take this pencil note to the commanding of fcer," pointing to a regiment in the heat of the battle. The stranger took the note and galloped away with it through the thick of the fight. He de livered it, but what happened to hilu no man knows. The duke always t.e clared that to be one of the most gal lant deeds that had ever come undeS his notice. It was done without pros pect of acknowledgment or reward and neither attended it's successful ac complishment.-Lon Standard.

Faith In tho Cleray.

The higalanders' faith in the clergy has always been peculiarly profound. This characteristic is illustrated. though in rather an exaggerated way. by the story of two old women going along the road after service who were heard to discuss the sermon as fol- lows:
 Peggy-Ah, and did you hear that most precious word, Kirsty-a most precious word?
 Kirsty-No. And what word was that?
 Peggy-Oh, most precious word. and it's myself that will not forget 1t. the precious word Nebuchadnezzar.
 Kirsty-Oh. yes. But did you hear that other most beautiful word? My self never heard it said before, the beautiful word Belshazzar.-Calet1o-

The whole amount of insurance in

For the past ten years the rate paid
by poltcy-holders has been slightly

TIE Farmers Mutual is a strictly
local association, mutual in It's opera

and cheap in its rates. 1T Is hoped
, that the work may be greatly ex-
tended In the near future. Some
parts of the county are not as fully
represented as they should be on the
list Of policy-holders, and 1t is in this
direction that special efforts will be
made.
The success in the past few years
In giving to the Oconee farmers a
safe, sure and cheap protection ought
to insure better results for the fu-
| ture. Any of the officers of the asso-
ciation will be glad to give informa-
tion as to the plans of the company,
and our beneficiaries are all ready
to give their endorsement to the as
sociation.
Taken as whole the meeting last

officers and members had hoped for,

their efforts to extend the work.

Worthy Young CoIored Man.

Benjamin Grant, colored, of Phila-
delphia, has been spending a month
with his mother in Walhalla, his old
home. He is one Of the brightest
and best young colored men ever
reared in Walhalla, and 1t gives us
pleasure to note the prosperity he Is
enjoying. He Is hard and constant
worker, and has gained no little favor
with his employers in the Quaker
City, where he has been located for
number of years, being employed
in one Of the large dairies of that
city. He Is as regular as clock work
in his remittances to his aged mother,
who stills holds allegiance to the dear
old Southland and especially to wal
halla. BENJAMIN Grant has for years
been held up as model for the young
colored men Of this section The
pity Of 1t is that so few have acted
wisely and followed in his steps. BY
his industry and constant efforts,
oung Grant has not only elevated
himself in financial way, but best Of
ali he has gained and holds the es-
TEEN Of the white people of this sec
tion and his new home. He will
leave in a week or ten days for his
adopted home, and will carry with
him the best wishes Of all who know
him.
