Here lies a poor woman who always was tired, Who lived in a house where help was not hired. ° Her last words on earth were: friends, I am going Where washing ain’t done, nor sweep- | ing, 1.0r sewing. But everything there is exact to my wishes, For-where they don’t eat there’s no washing of dishes. I’ll be where loud anthems will always be ringing, - But having no voice I'll get clear of the singing. Don’t mourn for me now, don’t mourn for me never, I’m going to do nothing tor ever and ever.” “Dear OBITUARIES. Died, on the 7th of February, 1896, Albert S. Moore, son of David H., and Addie Moore. He was 22 years of age, and has been a sufferer from dys- pepsia and rheumatism for a long time. He was confined to his room sixteen months and most' of the time on the bed. He prayed every day to die, and be free trom suffering and at last his spirit was wafted away very un expectedly to us all, God heard his prayer and took him out of his suffering. fis will must be done, not ours.

Dear little darling so full of love, Your spirit has flown to realms above‘ And all we can do, is to weep and pray That we may meet again some day. You were so merry and full of fun, That we miss you so, dear little one ; But God took you home to dwell in heaven, While at the tender age of seven.

Stick to your town. If it is only a collection of cabins, stand by it and pick out its most attractive features when speaking of it. Your share of the uni_ verse amounts to the place’ where your days are spent, Your city is the best of cities, your people-the foremost of all people. “Talk it, preach it, teach it till the world believes it, and you will soon get to believing it youeself. Speak up tor your city.. No matter where you are, pull for the place where friends are. That is the secret of progress. You can find plenty of ob- jectionable features about any city. Make yourself as nearly oblivious as possible to the shortcoming of your town. Remember that your people are the veople that you know best. As a mat- ter of course, you are more familiar with them than you are with those of strangers, with whose good points only you become acquainted. Paint out the scars when you draw a picture of your home folks.’ Leave out the blots whén you chart your sur- roundings. If you practice a healthy, appreciative sentiment in speaking about your own environments you will soon forget your cynicism and your home will become what it should be, the fair- est spot on earth, Stick to your own city.

TURKEY'S CAPIPAL | Some Fresh Facts About the City, of the Golden Horn. rann s sanee Past and Present Aspect of the Great mowegeliSe Te Lika bene Population and ings “~ the Aegean Now that public ic attention is 80 keen- ly drawn to the almost anarchic state| © of Turkey, the following particulars ot the capital of the Ottoman empire will be of interest: Byzantium, Islam- boul, or Constantinople as the place ‘has been variously called, is situated at the junction of the Bosphorus and the Sca of Marmora, and mey be said to be composell of three distinct towns, viz., Stamboul, PerarGalata and Seutari, The two first named are on the Eu-| opean shore, and are divided by the creek called the Golden Horn, while Scutari ljes,on the Asiatic side, and is separated from them by the Bospho- rus, Stamboul, or Constantineple proper, occupies the site of ancient By- zantium, and, like ancient Rome, is puilt on seven hills. On the first of these are the Old Seraglio and the fa- nous mosque of Santa Sophia; Stam- boul lies on a triangular promontory washed by the waters of the Golden Iiorn.on the north, and by the limpid Sea of Murmora on the south, while the swift current of the Bosphorus flows vast its eastern front. Scutari, although a suburb of Con- scantinople, is practically a separate town, the distance across the water keing about two miles. It largely re- scmbles Stamboul, both externally and internally, with its numerous mosques, its. bazaars, publie baths and manufac- tories. It willbe remembered chiefly by English readers on account of its hospital having, been used by the Anglo-French army in the winter of 1854-5 and by reason of its beautiful English cemetery with its monument to. the heroes of the Crimean campaign. lis population i is now about 60,000, that af the whole capital being ahowt 1,500,- 000. Stamboul is the native city, and con- tuins most of the government and pub- liv buildings. Here are situated for in- stance, the sublime porte (a gateway of justice, from which the government of Turkey takes its name), the war office, the seraglio. the law wourte, the “Ts long hair an eaten mark of genius?” The answer is: No, notnec- essarily, but it is certainly a mark of policy. It does not require any pro- found wisdom on the part of a public performer to know that it is better to be talked about for his ugliness or his. eccentricity than not to have his per- sonality discussed at all, and if a man be so unfortunate as to possess & nor- mal face and figure, with the average number of features and limbs, in what cuarter must he look for individuality save in his hair? M. Aime Lachaume, the young French pianist who is this year touring with Rivarde, and who did the same last year with Ysaye, tells how he hap- pened this season to bloom out.as one of the long-haired brethren. When he first came to this country M. Lachaume wore his hair in every-day fashion, and also cultivated a rather tenta‘ive beard. Feople heard him play, exclaimed: “Tlow unassuming!” went away, and torgot him. Since his conversion, how- ever, the same persors cry: “How hid- cous! but the man is evidently a gen- ius. Bravo!” and they depart. and this. time do not forget, It was Ysaye who brevght this change about. Last year, in the course of their travels, the two artists found gether, when Ysaye exclaimed: “It’s no use, Lachaume, I can’t stand that beard of yours any longer; it is too ugly, and it must come off!” . “But, my dear man,” answered the alarmed pianist, “I have taken such pains to grow that beard; it bus cost me years of labor and anxiety; besides, you know one must have something dis- tinctive about one.” “Yes, of course, I know that, but all you've got to do is to let your back hair grow like mine, And theres no time like the present, either, so you just sit down in that chair there and we’ll make short work of the business.” No sooner said than done. In a few seconds Lachaume was sitting trem- bling ‘in the chair, while the great voted chin. “In future, my dear boy, use a razor, but never scissors, and you are sure to nailway station, the custem house, the eee of Santa: So-sia a: leus others: BH et Yeni, and. the Egyptian bazaars.

The palace is surrounded by. ‘barracks, where a large force of the Imperial Guards is quartered; and no strangers are. al- lowed to enter the gates. The Golden Horn—La Corne d’Or, Chryso Keras—call it what you will, the name of the classic waterway is one with which toconiure, That its greater | clory is now gone is not to be disputed; that it still remains the most interest- ing strip of water in the world is as lit- tle to be denied. On one side of it rises a lordly line of mosques, those of Santa Sophia, Sultan Mahmoud, Sultan Selim, Sultan Bajazet, of Snitan Ma- hamend conquerer of the Christians— who shall say how many more?

Until 60 years ago, those who wished to cross the Horn called up a kaik or waited for a ferryboat; then it occurred to the Sultan Mahoud II, that a permanent | way might. be an advantage, Accord- ingly he summoned the grand admiral -—no less important an official is eus- todian of the Golden Horn—and bade him see the thing should be done, the sultan adding significantly that he | meant to survey the undertaking in j Perna at a specified nag Georgi, a ‘took the wor and did , as his lord A a perm end the ee ea baptized in the name “Noos- 4 _4sretya”.

Little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made Gorgeous with Gold. One sees from the sidewalk of a quiet street cast of Third avenue a Lig base- ment shop where two or three girls are frames. The sampies of their work displayed in the windows show that they are making bullion embroidery to decorate the coats.or caps of. mili- tary officers, policemen, and. others whose trades or professions require | un‘forms. There is ‘less to be done in the bullion embroidery trade in this city than in most old world cities, but there is a constant and growing de- mand for the handiwork of the bullion einbroiderers, and the trade is one that keeps its.own in spite of labor-saving devices. syliion embroidery worked direvt! y upon the stnif of-the cap or coat is still the proper thing for the uniformed man whe would have al! his raecoutre- ments right. The embroidery shops are usually little places, and the pro- prietor is sometimes @ woman, The frame is a simple’ device of hard wood, enlarged or reduced in acvordance with the needs of the particular picce of work:-in hand. The embroiderers are usually girls, often very young, though the cesigners are sometimes men. Embroidery designing is not a very difficult business, because~ little originality is demarded, sinee the trade has well-established traditions, and there are.plenty of books to guide the designer. ‘There are no new designs to’ be-made in masonic, military or naval emblems, and even the myriad shooting clubs of the German quarter are not tikely to require anything that will demand great ingenuity of the em- broidery designer. The girls that do the aetua! work of bullion embroidery are often native Americans, though the trade is mainly controlled by. foreigners, French .and German for the most part. The par- ticular shop here indicated is managed by-a Hebrew, and the pretty girls vis- ible from: the street as they lean over their. work seem to have. Jewish fea tures. —N, Y. Sun.

It was reported this morning that the Greenville Lumber Co. was going to establish a brick yard right away. We have not seen a member of the company to ascertain the fact, but hope the report is true. The way to get new buildings started quickest is to have plenty of material in readiness. Dvn’t Hinder, But Help. While so many people have been burned out and are looking for places to'get in, we hope no one will show a disposition to take advantage of the un- fortunate.

Hart, of the firm ot Baker & Hart, who had just started opening their hardware business here and. lost in the fire all the goods that had becn put in the store, if it was his purpose to remain here, “Yes,” he replied, “we will stay in Greenville. If we can’t get a building for our business any other way we will buy a lot and build one.” That’s pluck, and was the kind of talk we like to hear. Green. ville needs that sort of men now. Look Up. Kind nature has senta snowy man- tle and even robed in white beauty the dismal wreck that covers a portion of the town. Maybe this was to shut it out from view for the time being, keep us from looking despondently upon the iuins, and give us time to take heart and resolve to again: bring beauty out of the chaos underneath, Ifwe only try tolook on the bright side, leave hopefully to the future, all will be well.
