gravest scarcely less mo-
than would result from a
revolution practically establishing

as well as the South, and injures
tho colored citizen even more than
the white ; it means a horde of
deputy marshals at every polling
place armed with federal power,
returning boards appointed and
controlled by federal authority,
the outrage of the right

the subjugation of the colored
people to the control of the party

leading Republican Senator as

of a self perpetuating oligarchy of
office holders, and the party first
entrusted with its machinery could
be dislodged from power only by
an appeal to the reserved right of
tho people to resist oppression
which is inherent in all self gov-
communities. Two years
ago this revolutionary policy was
emphatically condemned by the
people at the polls; but in con-
tempt of that verdict, the
can party has definitely declared
it its latest utterance

Let us think of home in these
three Home a school
of character, home as a school of
moral discipline, and home as a
school of manners. Character is
one of the greatest motive powers
in the world. In it em-
it exemplifies human
nature in its highest forms for it
man at his best. It is at
home child's character is
into its first shape.
Hence home is the first and most
important school of character.
The training of any man, even
the wisest, cannot fail to be power-
fully influenced by the moral
of his early years.
Hence the first seminary of moral
a is the home. Manners
are the principal external graces
of character. It is the ornament
of action and often makes the
commonest offices beautiful by the
ways in which it performs them.
It is a happy way of doing things,
adorning even the smallest details
of life, and contributing to render
it, as a whole, agreeable and pleas-
ant A man's manner, to a certain
extent, indicates his character. It
is the external exponent of his
inner nature. It indicates his
tastes, his feelings and his temper,
as well as the society to which he
has been accustomed. The truest
politeness comes of sincerity; sin-
comes of truthfulness and
honesty, and both of these are the
results of home influence in early
life. we see that the first
and best school of manners is the
home
We may say, then, that home is
one grand school, and it is mainly
here that the heart is opened, the
habits formed, the intellect
and actor for
good or for evil. From that
source, be it pure or impure, issue
the principles and maxims that
govern society. Law itself is but
the reflex of homes-
It is in the order of nature that
domestic life should be preparatory
to social, and that the mind and
character should first be found in
the home- There the individuals
who afterwards form society are
dealt with in detail and fashioned
one by one, From the family they
enter life and advance from child-
hood to citizenship. Thus the
home may be regarded as the
most influential school of
For after all, civilization
mainly resolves itself into a
of individual training; and
according as the respective
of society ore well or ill train-
ed in youth, so will the community
which they constitute be more or
less civilized.
The tiniest bits of opinion sown
in the minds of children in private
life afterwards issue forth to tho
world, and become its public
ion, for nations are gathered out
of nurseries, and they who hold
the leading strings of children may
even exercise a greater power

trouble in securing a good

knew just where to carry us and
his face was a passport wherever
he wanted to cuter with the party.
Thus prepared several of us set
out one evening after supper to
take in the Chinese quarter of the
city.
We first went to one of the

gospel of Christ.
From tho we wont to an
opium den where a number of
Chinamen were smoking this fatal
drug. It was a very filthy and
obnoxious place, the denizens lying
around on shelves like so many
hogs. Some of them were sound
asleep and snoring loudly, while
others were still smoking.
Next we visited one of their first-
class restaurants. This was about
the most inviting place seen in
Chinatown- Our party took tea
served in regular Chinese style,
and it was genuine tea of the best
order- The tea for each guest is
made in an individual cup, and
then served by pouring off in
another cup. It is a delicious
drink made and served in this
manner. Some very nice sweet-
meats also served. The fur-
of the restaurant were
elegant, some of the chairs being
and costing as much
as each.
We also visited some of the
markets, butcher stalls, barber
shops, stores, jewelry establish-
and left with
fair idea of Chinese life and
toms. Their music is something
that amused our party very much,
being very squeaky and entirely
void of while the singing
was just horrible. The long drawn
of cats sounds equally as
euphonious.

The Chinese are a very imitative
race of people and they make tho

instruction as to doing a piece of

to him again about it, but always
find everything done just as wanted

strike our North Carolina
as quite a contrast with the very
unreliable and ignorant
class of colored servants most of
them have to contend with.
There is much more I could say
about these Chinese, but will leave

A horse ran away on Third street, last

Rev. Mr. Jones occupied the of the
Methodist church and delivered a line

The Art Reception.
The fourth annual art reception under
the management of Misses Rouse and
Bogart was given in their studio in the
Skinner building on last Thursday eve-
Those whose good fortune it was
to be present at any one of tho former
receptions could well anticipate with
pleasure what was in store for all who
should attend this lime, and to this event
many had been looking forward with no
little pleasure, and we feel sure In saying
none wont away without realizing
their every anticipation. The hall was
brilliantly lighted and on the walls were
artistically arranged specimens of
work done by the pupils and several
pieces by Misses Rouse and Bogart. We
would like to give a list of the specimens
and by whom executed but space forbids.
It has been said that and time
makes A more perfect
of this maxim was never
shown than on this occasion. The
mens exhibition were of such a high
order that none but tho skilled artist
could detect them from Being equal to
that done by the masters. This work,
reflects credit upon Misses
Bogart as instructors, and the people of
Greenville owe them a debt which money
cannot pay. An interesting feature of
the occasion was a by Miss
Bessie White which was well rendered
and elicited much applause. The man-
agers had arranged to have refreshments
served In the parlors of Dr. Marquis

young ladles and courtly gentlemen
gathered together Greenville and
every one seemed to vie with each other
in making themselves agreeable and help-
each other to have a pleasant and
happy evening. Just as the hand point-
ed to eleven Miss Nannie King announced
that the presence of all were desired in
the dining room, where every one re-
paired without waiting for a second bid-

loaded with refreshments of a

participants were resting quietly In the

SNIDER-.
Snider was a sort of
aged twelve, whoso home was on
vary the
to tho water that when his
imagination or conscience would
let him he had been known,
get out of in the dead watches o.
the night and plunge into it MA
diversion and a solace. He had the
mighty river us a playmate and
most worshiped It, without being
aware that he did so; for
is a wonderful thing both
night and by day to those who
achieve familiarity with it, and
a nature worshiper within
reasonable limits of a
savage or a boy of twelve.
Solder's playmates were boys and
girls of two races, tho red and
white, and ho expressed a slight pref-
for the white on week days
and the red on the Sabbath, for, be-
a boy, ho played all day
Sunday, and it is hard to get along
harmoniously all day with little
white boys who are permitted to play
on that day Tho rod people, great
and small, looked on Snider as a sort
of phenomenon, and everybody
knows it is very soothing to the
nerves of all ages and sexes to be
treated deferentially. To have
harmed a of Snider's head would,
in the opinion of the band of
was, ho passed current, have
been the worst kind of
cine.
Snider's held tho orthodox
Western view that
and did not approve his son's
with the aborigines, but this
did not seriously interfere with tho
boy's plans, for it was not regarded
as strictly necessary that ho should
consult his parents to his goings
in and comings out of the woods.
Snider and his Indian playmates
had in their intercourse constructed
a of English and Algonquin
that was unintelligible to other
themselves, and frequently
they used it to express re-
their progenitors would
have made tilings pretty stormy for
them had their elders, into whose
teeth they hurled it, known what
was said.
Snider's best friend and
was an Indian maiden of
ten, whose name in English would
freely translated Bed Leaf, but
which in her native tongue could be
spelled only by a combination of let-
that would look very
aging to civilized people. Bed Leafs
mother had no warrior she could call
her own, and this detracted from her
popularity with tho tribe, for its
male members were expected to
the produce of the chase with
her, and was not her
strongest characteristic. Her
band's scalp was blowing about like
a dry rag in some Sioux warrior's
tepee, he having been killed in battle
or eight j-ears before Snider
formed the acquaintance of his
daughter. Tho lady's name might
have been rendered Alkali in Eng-
although it is quite likely site
had adopted or been given this bitter
title at a later date than her mar-
Alkali always greeted with a
friendly the coming of
Snider, for his pockets con-
something edible from his
home larder, eke a trifle of to-
from his father's hoard. It is
not that Snider was in a
measure for tho annual
and protracted visit of this
band cf Indians to tho neighbor-
hood, for in addition to adding a
trifle to the comforts of the com-
ho had, on occasion, been
into securing for them,
though at tho earnest of
Red Leaf he had many times declined
this act of accommodation.

But Snider had other of
amusement than the congenial so-
of the Indian maiden. One of
these was the casting of stones at
wayfarers from ambush. It chanced
one day that ho cast a stone into a
passing immigrant's covered wagon
and struck a babe on the head,
a cruel wound, it

dragging Snider from his conceal-

him to the wagon, first to show the
villainy he had done and next to
him Bat when
had seen the wound he was so
abject, so remorseful, so anxious to
be smitten hip and thigh and made a
terrible example of that the
grant and his wife, and the baby to
boot, with all their
hearts.
Others had seen his evil deed, and
the news of it went speedily to his
father, so that Snider was a bruised
and battered little imp when his fa-

hard for Snider to sleep, and, being a

Upon his pillow and thought of the
Waters of the river and the
smoky tepees where the Indians

This hair hung -down over her
swarthy and not always clean cheeks
in such a way as to make her fore-
head a tolerably correct triangle.-
Her eye were almond shaped and
wonderfully dark and deep, with a
trace of natural ferocity about them
that made a stranger look a second

shudder that they were made to look
upon the tortures that the savage j

headgear she would have despised.

not of a character to arouse jealousy
or comment in a mixed collection of

in the admiration of the red.

wet A magnificent supply of
particularly brilliant freckles, begin-
in the neighborhood of his ears
and becoming by far too numerous
to mention as they approached his
nose. The Indian children observed
with envious admiration that where-
as they could apply yellow and blue
pigments to their faces and thus be
handsome as a summer dawn until
or accident obliterated tho work
of art, here was a favored mortal
who wore his coloring matter under
the skin and could even wash with-
out injury to his toilet.
Tho nose of Snider, where the
freckles did most congregate, is
worthy of extended notice. It was
of an irregular type, a sort of com-
pound fracture of all
the different styles of nose worn by
the Aryan races both before and
since their earliest migration. His
raiment was a pair of jeans trousers,
with one and a hickory
shirt, surmounted with a hat such as
only a reckless and sunny disposition
could enable any one to wear. His
temperament was sunny or warlike,
as occasion demanded, as is apt to
the case with a child thrown largely
upon his resources for diversion.
But nature had been cruel in giving
him a tender heart and a sensitive
soul, both of which defects he was
studious to conceal as an ancient
knight would have covered tip a
weak spot in his armor.

A True Story.
In the upper reservoir at
View cemetery are planted a
large number of German
fishes now ranging in size from four
to seven inches in length. Tho res-
borders Blair park on the
west, and tho menagerie at tho park
consists of a big Tom cat. Tom
is an expert fisher cat. Ho creeps
along the margin of the reservoir,
and when a carp pokes up its nose
into the grass at tho edge of the lake
to feed, Tom deftly pulls his carp-
ship out and eats him. This is a
true cot and fish story, and no
