"The amusement of this eve greatly vary
n different localities and among different
lople. In some sections, parties, where
all the ladies are dressed in calico or a
kii.dred material, and their male atten
dants are arrayed in vests, coats and
neckties of the same material, are the
vonie. Frequently the young ladies
send sufficient material, like their gowns,
for the irentlemeu's outfit, to the house
of the person who gives the party.
Then, on an evening, a week previous to
said party, all the gentlemen invited,
meet and select materials. This they
h made into coahs, vests and neckties.
without knowing to whom thev are in-
debteel.

The menu of this feast embraces nuts,
apples, doughnuts and cider, and some

The importance of the results of the present political campaign can not "be
overestimated by those who desire the success of the Republican party. The
Democrats, besides the " Solid South," are, in the North intrenched behind
breastworks of public patronage. It will take steady, earnest, and united
work to dislodge them. No hing will so surely bring about that steady, eajr
nest, and united worJc as the circulation ot sound political literature, and OF
THIS CLASS NO OTHER IS AS EFFICIENT AS THE DAILY AND WEEK

read are laid aside; the newspaper is the fireside friend, the trusted family

THE TRAVELER'S LUCK.
SUPERSTITIONS CONCERNING THOSE
WHO START ON A JOURNEY.
"Good tuck" at tho rartlns People Vlioa
It la I.ucky to Sleet A Ni-jp-o fciiiiiTNtl
tlou A OliliiOKO Notion Tho Iluniji
liackecl Person.
There is an old superstition which says,
"You must never wateh n traveler out of
sight," and still another, "You maun
bid him godspeed thrieo and good luek
anee. and no turn your back to tho bow of
tho boat while speaking the words." Oidy
a few weeks ago, while making one of a
throng of people who were bidding adieu
to friends bound across the Atlantic, I
noticed that the words "good luek" wero
oftener used in one form or another than
any other expression of farewell; it was:
"Good luek co with vou," '"Good luck to
you," "Luck to you," "(Jood by and good
luck ; and ono old Irish grandmother,
after devoutly crossing herself, called out
to her daughter, "Tho blessed virgin
bring you and good luek back to me,"
while I among tho rest found myself say
ing, "A lucky trip to yon, captain," as
that monarch of all ho surveyed steptied
on board his kingdom, a big ocean steamer,
although I am afraid I was tempted to
say it not no much in my belief of the
good it would bring him as in a fore
knowledge that he was not only bonestlv
superstitious, but firmly behoved in such
a wish bringing the safe, quick voyage he
hoped for, and I am glad to eay that in
tins caso the omen proved good.
W ith some saumg masters, however.
such an expression would foretell any
thing but good luek, and in faet many
people dislike to have luek given them in
this way, believing that it is ill luek to
speak of luek at ail; and there are others
who, whether they believe in it or not,
like to have pleasant tilings prophesied to
them, or, in other words, "they are not
superstitious, but they do like to have
tho signs on the right side."
BTARTIXO ON A JOCKXEV.
There are plenty of wise men and women
who will on no account turn back after
starting oa a journey; if compelled to,
they must sit down or change some gar
ment before going out again; others who
think it the luckiest thing in the world
to have left something that they really
need, for then thev sav, e are suro to
go back," especially a pair of slippers or
an undergarment. Scotch people are very
superstitious about the first person they
meet in the morning on going out for the
day or starting on a journey. If it is a
woman, and fhe is well dressed and pleas
ant looking, then it is good; a beautiful
child is rare good luck, especially if you
can get the little ono to notice you; a
business man with a quick, brisk walk,
or a workman with his tools and filled
lunch pail, is also luekv to meet; while
the postman, policeman, doctor and priest
aro all forerunners of anxiety, and you
"need be unco canny and unco wary, for
there's muekle depends on your prudence
that day.
A universal negro superstition and I
have found it existing among the Israel
ites of New York citv is to ask a question
of any stranger who strikes their fancy.
and if answered satisfactorily, they be
lieve they have taken that person s lock.
I once asked an old colored aunty who
had been eying mo for some time, and
who 1 saw was about to make some in
quiry, why she wanted my luck. Mio
looked at me a moment, arm seeing 1 WU3
in earnest, said, "Well, hone, I don't
want all your luck, hut 3-cya's young and
kin c-et more, and Ps gwino to see mv
daughter, who am expecting a little baby
girl, and I wants hvr to look just like
you. i ne compliment was appreciated.
and so when she left the cars I carefully
a 1 ! .1 .11 l -1 11
cropped a snver uouar wuere sue wouiu
see it. Piekiucr it up and holding it out
for me to see, she exclaimed, "1 knowed
you'd bring me luck."
A German superstition, and one said to
alter 3-onr luek if it does not please you,
is to change or remove some article of
clothing, such as tho right cull to tho
left arm, or vour earrings or finger rings,
or tako off your hat, being careful to put
it on straight.
A CniXESB KOTIOX.
The Chinese believe that when start ing
on a journey it is great good luck to have
an insect or reptile go out bcloro you, or,
better still, to cross your path coming
from the left sido.
If you arc not thinking of taking a
journey and Gnd a key, you may expect
very shortly to have to pack vour trunk.
To start on a journey with the new moon
is by far tho luckiest tuing ono can do.
A white mark on the ntal of the little
finger of cither hand is said to foretell a
journey, the old saying, "A gift, a friend,
a foe, a lover to come, and a journey to
go, being nrmly believed in by mor
than ono wise woman. Cut your nails oi
Saturday if you wish to travel, for to cut
them on Monday Is to cut them for health.
oa Tuesday for wealth, on Wednesday for
a letter, on Thursday for better, on Friday
tor woe, on Saturday a journey to go.
It is considered very lucky by somo to
meet a humpbacked pe rson when starting
on a journey, and if you would have rare
good luck be sure to touch his hum p.
vv hen starting on a journey remember
to put your right stocking on first and
your right foot out of tho house first, and
do not look back at the house after tho
front door is closed. Harper's Bazar.
Eaw Material of Man.
"The human boy," savs Tho London
Evening News, "is a potentially important
member of society, in that he is the raw
material of man; but only a prejudiced
taste can put him on a par with tho
! flowers of the field as a thing of beauty
and a joy forever." Hero we have tho
English article pictured.
But the wild, unkempt American speci
men we mean the composite product 13
a study of more than passing interest.
What he lacks in fine qualities is made up
by his robustious, full orbed love of mis
chief. In him you have the miniature of
a vivacious, restless, resourceful man
hood, always eager and ready to vent his
superfluous spirits, sometimes at his own
cost, hut chiefly to the disadvantage of
others. But there is the making of a man
in him every time under our free and un
fettered institutions, and that benefit in
heres in American life as contrasted with
the crowded condition in which these less
favored sons are born who live and die on
British soil, with scarcely a hope, in the
vast majority of cases, of rising above the
I utad level of their early career. Boston

Stories f Confederate Meney.
Grimes, who represents"
the Fourth Georgia district, told a coupla
of stories very pertinent to tho sr.bj- r;t
and which greatly amused his auditors:
"Lu tho latter part of 1(W," 'dd Mr.
Grimes, "a young man who lived In La
Grange, Ga., becamo possessed of tho sum
of $500 in Confederate money. Ho wa.l
of a thrifty turn and wanted to add to It.
With that purpose in view he in vested hU
money In a bar l f whisky. This he cold
by tho drink, and at tho end of tho week
had disposed of tho whole barrel nnd hud
$1,200 in hand, a net protit of $700. The
young man was highly fluted, lie saw
his way clear to a fortune In a short timo.
"Of eourso ho decided to buy more
whiskv ut wholesale and sell it by the
fcmall measure, but ho had not taken into
account tho wear and tear which the
c-reilit of tho Confederacy had suffered
during tho week which it had taken him,
to sell out his barrel. When ho went to
invest in another supply ho found that ho
could not make a purchase similar to bin
first ono for less than $1 ,000. The financial
fluctuations involved in tho transaction
knocked him so completely out that ho re
tired permanently from commercial life .
and hired himself out as an agriculturist.'
When his hearers had finished laughing
at this story, Mr. Grimes gave them tho
other one. "It was in theanio town
La Grange and in the latter part of
1861," ho said. "Ono old gent lci;:au there
who had persistently predicted the failure
of the Confederacy was ono day deriding
tho enrrenev that was then t. i ph 1 tiful
and of such little value. lie said that it
was so worthless that nobody would even
steal it or pick it up if found on t hf ftn-et.
Ilo pulled out a $1,000 bill Confederate
money, of course and declared that ho
could tack it with a pin to tho t'oiico
around tho court house, leavo it thei-e fivo
hours, uud that noUaly would think
enough of it to put it in his pocket. Ilia
offer was accepted. Tho note was pinned
to tho fence and at the end of fivo hours
he nnd the mau to whom ho had been talk
ing went out to see what there was to be
seen." Mr. Grimes here paused.
"Well?" inquired Mr. Allen, of Missis
sippi. "Tho $1,000 note was there," replied
Mr. Grimes, "and pinned beside it was nil-
other Confederate bill, tho denomination
of which was $2,000."

Visit to a Kcp.'iiring 1'iu-tory.
Tho place looked like a ghastly carica
ture of a butcher shop in t he laud of the
cannibals, but It was only the inner sanc
tum of u manufacturer of artificial limbs.
Arms, leg3, hands, feet what you wilhr
hung on walls, screened In glass cases or
laid about in heaps, greeted the eye wher
ever it rested. There wero audacious
pictures of gentlemen in various active
employments, who, having "tried your
valuable leg would havo no other." One
of those graceful men was pictured In 1 ho
act of riding a bicyclo. Another boro hi
whole weight on an artificial leg while
plying a miner's pick at a mas;; of rock
over his head. Still liuother stood on hi
sound leg nnd with tho artificial leg drove
a spado deep into tho soil of a garden
plot. Three were farmers following tho
plow, blacksmiths shoeing horses and a
pedestrian without a nose all with at
least one artificial leg.
"Do they really do all that?" inquired
tho reporter.
"Perhaps not quite us well as you'd
suppose from the cut, but it. h true that
there are 11 good many thousand idcvi wit Ii
artificial legrj doing work that ono would
think, bkcly to requiro tho aid of sound
limbs."
"Then you come pretty nearly sui;ly-
mg any natural lo3sr'
"I retty nearly. Tho war gave a grcp.t
impetus to tho manufacture of m-LiLciid
limbs, and we are still making limbs for
tho veterans."
"IIow long does nn r.rtifkhd limb last?"
"That depends upon whether it i i an
arm or a leg and upon various ot her con
siderations. I've known an artiiicial leg
to be in n so tweutv-fivo vear3. The more

jAt-xev t:e Tilt-at V.illi.
Everybody has his or her way of living,
and, if they would tell, tho whole race
might bo benefited by it. But whatever
the theories may bo, whether 01:0 reader
believes in a meat diet und another does
not. it would be interesting to know how
each succeeded. The writer has often
heard the remark: "I wonder how a man
on $10 manages to live?" Yes, it may bo
a wonder, but hundreds of men do it, and
the writer knows, within the range of hui
own experience at least, half a dozen men
who do it, and do it wwmingly very nicely.
Their wives wear inexpensive but neat
and attractive looking clothes, tho chil
dren who go to school look as clean and
as .ell dressed as tho children of fcor.:o
other men who earn more, nnd the pre
sumption is that each of these families
get enough to eat. At all events they
certainly look as if they did.
Nov, with a little study, the writer
docs not hesitate to bay la any families
could save money.

Lcader cf a Monkey Tribe.
When they get ready to st art on th ir
expedition an old menkev, the leader cf
tho tribe, with a staff in his hand, so as to
6tand upright mora easily, marches ahead
on two legs, ths being mere elevated
than tho others, to r.s to see cigns of dan
ger more readily. Tho ret follow him tn
all fours. The leader advances slov. lv and
cautiously, carefully rccomioiic-rmg Li
all directions, till the pcrty arrives ut tho
corn Ik-Id. Lie then assigns tho ec-ntineU
to their respective post 3. All beiug now
In readiness, tho rest of the tribe ravage
and eat to their heart's content.. When
they retire each one carries two or threo
ears of corn along, and from this provision
the sentinels aro regaled on their arrivsd
at then lair.
Here we see ability to rule and a will
ingness to submit to rule; a thoughtful
preparation of means to thao-.ul invin.ir
and a recognition of the rights of tho
sentinels to be suitably rewarded at th,,
close of the expedition. Wherein doc?
