Three Requirements to Wed-
Bliss.
Not long since one of Green-
young men, who is by-the-
way, contemplating matrimony, in
conversation mentioned a book on
he was very
desirous of procuring for the ex-
able and excellent ad-
vice it had been represented to
him to contain. A gentleman,
whose fame in his profession has
gone beyond the borders of his
adopted county, scaled, the Blue
Ridge in its unchecked flight and
spread all over the ripe
scholar, a keen observer of human
nature, a polished gentleman, a
man who loves to alleviate human
suffering and distress and misery,
who has the heart to love and pity
and yet finds room for the essence
of chivalry from the knightly days
of yore, one of nature's true noble-
short, one to whom you
can point and say
this is a was standing by
and remarked son. when
you seek a wife take this advice.
It may seem very simple ; but it
is none the less effective, and
worth more than all the books
written. Find a woman who
possesses these three things, good
health, good sense and good
per. If you find such, there is no
doubt about your earthly
This has put us to thinking over
the matter, and we conclude that,
In our day, such attributes are
hard to rind linked together. And
it is no slander on our fair young
ladies to say this. If a woman
possesses the first two qualities
mentioned the third follows most
naturally. There is nothing more
difficult than to preserve, at all
times, a calm, unruffled temper
when the body is being tortured
and racked by terrible pain and
the intense agony.
Good sense is forgotten, or does
not weigh at all in such an in-
stance. Now when we think of
the first requisite this young man
must seek
come to the conclusion very quick-
that it is a rare thing. Good
health How many young ladies
are there in the town of Greenville
whose health, is perfect Of
course in its limited
sense and translated closely means
perfect health. And now how
many young ladies are
there in Greenville, who never
complain f any physical
fort conversation we asked
this question and the answer came
And we cannot add
to the number, though the death
rate Greenville is lower than
anyplace in North we
have as many healthy young ladies,
in the broad general acceptation of
the term as any town in the State.
S the first requisite will be hard
to find. And the Well,
we not say anything about
that. A puling sentimentalist
may say all are possessed of
and there is a spirit of sick-
dissipation in dress, in habits, in
in sleeping, in studying, in
dancing, as surely impairs the
health of their daughters as
frost kills the forest leaves m the
autumn. Is it not from a good-
of heart, in most cases, and
not negligence We think
but it is none the less a crying
evil. Slavery to the plumed god-
Fashion, does more than any
one cause that comes to our
mind just now. Let the mothers
of the land dress their children as
common would dictate and
have done with what Fashion
says and the health of their
will be better proportion
as they act. With the foundation
for good health thus laid good
sense and good temper follows as
readily and surely as night follows
day. The mother that has the
strength of character and good
sense to dress her daughter com-
in defiance of fashion and
social forms will surely instill in
the minds of those daughters eve-
principle that goes to make
good sense. Then good temper
is w a i n is already
a willing and eager attendant at
the shrine of as
near perfection as can be attained
on earth. Young man, you need
not think you are searching for
that which does not exist. Such
young ladies are in existence ; but
what we want to say is that these
marry and die and there are
fewer still to take their places.
A Card from the Progress.
In a recent issue of the Rep
tor there appeared an editorial
quoting with severe comment a
paragraph from the Progress. To
say that the whole tone, spirit and
severity of the editorial surprised
us would be a mild expression of
its effects. It was and will re-
main a puzzle. Our remark was,
on its very face, a manifest jest, a
very broad jest, and how the Re-
could fail to recognize it
as such passes our comprehension.
We offered that playful
of the Gazette's improvement
with the kindest feeling and with-
out the slightest taint of arrogance;
but if sportive remarks are to be
construed in sober earnest and one
is to be pilloried for a mere joke,
then no man's character will be

running banter with the Gazette,

somewhat bitterly and

tribute to the editor

extravagant and unmerited re-

not for the fact of its being sign-

Washington Letter.
Special to Reflector.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 15th,
Heretofore, your correspondent
has written of tho manifesto of
Civil Service Commissioner
against the organization of the
Federal employees into political as-
and also of the
commotion caused by the com-
which was swiftly
by a sentiment of stern
defiance. This feeling has found
further expression in the
of a new political club, called
National Democratic
with an influential
from every State or Terri-
of the Union, which it is
proposed to extend to each Con-
District of the United
States. The Association is
in character, and
to make its influence and use-
felt by the dissemination of
sound Democratic doctrine and in-
formation among the masses of
the party every where.
So then, it seems the ukase of
the Commissioner was a blessing
in disguise, whatever may have
been its true purpose, for it goes
without saying that the National
Democratic Association will be a
powerful factor for good in the
Presidential contest.
There are three vacancies in the
Fiftieth Congress, one of them
being National importance, as
it involves the political attitude
the State of Island in
the event of the failure of the
people to choose a President in
1888. At the first election held
nearly a year ago, there was no
candidate
a majority of all votes cast
though Judge Bradley, the Dem-
nominee, was in the lead. A
second election will be held next
month, and there is every
of Democratic victory, as they
have renominated Bradley, and a
plurality will elect next time. Re-
publican defeat would mean their
inability to win the Presidency in
case the choice should devolve up-
on the House Representatives
the Republicans only lacking
one of having a majority -of the
States.
Among the measures that will
be presented for the consideration
of the next Congress are seven
new pension bills, prepared by
representatives of the Grand Ar-
my of the Republic, and embody-
relief for all veterans who act-
saw service, or tor their
gal representatives. I fear that
President Cleveland will again be
the country's only safeguard
against a depleted Treasury. But
if occasion should require, it is
that his courage and sense
of duty will be equal to the

There is no better investment
that the people of any live town
can make than to secure first class
live papers by heartily
aging their publishers with bus-
A town is judged by its pa-
and few will ever
be drawn to a town where local
papers show, by the lack of well
filled advertising columns, the
want of energy of the people of
that place.
Southern papers are doing a
great work for their country. In its
development they are taking the
lead, and they are exerting such
a mighty force for the uplifting
of the people by steadily and per-J
lighting for the right and
striving to encourage all classes to
n m to pushing on the great
of that section as to attract
universal attention. Free to a
large extent from sensational
trash and particulars of all the
latest scandals, the press of the
South have bent their whole en-
since 1865 to improve the
material interests of that section.
They have sowed, but others have
reaped the profits. Certainly,
with the improving financial con-
of the South, the time has
come when every well-edited and
well managed Southern paper
should have its columns well filled
with local advertisements at good
prices. Let special issues teeming
with good descriptions of towns
and tilled with advertisements
of every business house be scatter-
ed all over the North and West
this winter and, good results will
as sorely follow as that harvest
follows the seed time. Bot this
costs money, and this money must
be furnished by the real estate
owners and agents, merchants, pro-
men, and, in fact, by
one interested in prosper-
of their section.

are all
sorts of queer and absurd things.
For instance, authorities there
have the funny notion that girls
ought to know how to cook Ev-
girt in junior class has
learned how make bread;
and measuring her
mixing and kneading and
baking, and regulating her fire.
Each has also been taught to make
yeast bake biscuit, pudding,
pie and cake of various kinds ;
how to cook a roast, to broil a
steak and make a fragrant cup of
coffee ; how to stuff a turkey,
make oyster soup, prepare stock
for other soups, steam and math
potatoes so that they will melt in
the mouth, and, in short, to get
up a first class meal, combining
both substantial and fancy dishes,
in good style. Theory and
skill have gone band-in-band.
Vast stores of learning have been
accumulated in the arts of can-
preserving and pickling
fruit, and they have taken
cal lessons in all details of
household management, such as
house furnishing, care of beds and
bedding, washing ironing,
care of the sick, and numerous
other things. It is not stated
whether girls are bow to
get up in the morning and build
tires, bot no doubt such a useful
branch of information receives
attention its importance demands.

This is the delicious season when
golden sunshine sleeps in the
meshes of the Autumn haze; when
the merry youth and maiden hie

woods and eat enough
chestnut worms in one morning to

The year is fast fading. The
leaves are turning and tailing; the
mornings and evenings grow stead-
chillier ; rusty stove are being
brushed up, and put up ; oyster
signs are swinging in the breezes ;
ice cream is done for ; light clothes
have been whistled in ; the birds
are settling their

For several days we have been

nothing on earth the
hours of morning. It is the youth
of the day ; and childhood of all
things is beautiful. The freshness
the unpolluted freshness of in-
fancy hangs about the early mo-
of the dawn ; the air seems
to breathe of innocence and troth;
the very light is instinct with
youth, and speaks of hope. Who
is there that loves beauty and
brightness and doe not enjoy the
early hours of morning.

Girls admitted to the Iowa Ag-
College are taught all
sorts of queer and absurd things.
For instance, the authorities there
have the funny notion that girls
ought to know how to cook Ev-
girl in the junior class has
learned how to make bread ;
and measuring her
mixing and kneading and
baking, and regulating her fire.
Each has also been taught to make
yeast and bake biscuit,
pie and cake of various kinds ;
how to cook a roast, to broil a
steak and make a fragrant cup of
coffee ; how to stuff a turkey,
make oyster soup, prepare stock
for other soups, steam mash
potatoes so that they will melt in
the month, and, in short, to get
a first class meal, combining
both substantial mid fancy dishes,
in good style. Theory and
skill have hand-in-hand.
Vast stores of learning have been
accumulated in the arts of can-
preserving and pickling
fruit, and they have taken
cal lessons in all the details of
household management, such as
house furnishing, care of beds and
bedding, washing and ironing,
care of the sick, and numerous
other things. It is not stated
whether girls are bow to
get up in the morning and build
fires, but no doubt each a useful
branch of information receives the
attention its importance demands.

The human digestive apparatus is one

Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
