The very Greenville People Ought to Have’ Quicker Mail Service. The Reriector has several times made reference to the schedule on this branch of the Coast Line and suggesied that changes could be made which would give the towns along the Jine a much better service than they now have. We see no good reason why the present schedule of the mail train could not be materially shoriened both ways and stl, meke the same’ through con. nections. The mal ought to reach Greenville i in the even‘ng at least an hout sooner than at present and could be thade to do so very easily. If the Greenville people want a bet- ter train service they should get togeth- ler and let the railroad authorities know what they wish in the matter. The peopile of Washington took ‘stich a diep as this in a publi¢ meeting ‘and the railroad authorities were very prompt to comply with theic request for a bet- ter train service. No doubt our people will be treated as well if they take some action in the matiei. Cane From the Battle-Field. } Capt.

It now seems likety that Congress . will adjourn at a mueh earlier date than has any previous Congress, in the case of'a first or long session, for many years. It has been the rule with recent Congresses to protract tne first, | or long, session well into the summer, «the fifty-third Congress having broken all records by adjourning late in Sep- tember, while the fifty-second Congress adjourned. during its first session at almost as late a date. Several of the large appropriation bills are already ‘in upon by both houses and submitted to “eonference committees. Other bills ‘have passed the House and are before the Senate, while the remaining bills will come in the House at an early date. Among the more important. bills "yet to be acted upon is the naval. ap- _ propriation Dill. This measure has been practically committeed,and will no _ * doubt be reported at an early day.

Whether it be the bunco man, the portrait fiend, the greengoods dealer or the lightning rod shark, it seems to matter but little. The man who has a glib tongue, unlimited assurance and no conscience whatever starts out upon the broad and enticing thoroughfares of this great country and secks victims in every hamlet and cot- tage. It might be questioned whether people who are taken ip this way deserve sympathy. from the desire to get something for less than its actual worth a laudable enough ambition if ex ercised in the right direction, but when it means the promise on the part of the seller to furnish some valuable article for a mere fraction of its accredited value, thatfact alone Ought to be proof enough that there is something wrong in ‘the transaction. It has often been said that those persons who do not read the papers are more likely to fall victims to every designing rascal thas “chooses to travel about the highways and byways of the world, But this is not altogether true, at least it is not just to say that only the ignorant and non readers are caught in this. way Fairly intelligent persons are led astray by cupidity and avarice. They are constantly striving to get ahead of somebody, to drive ja good bargain, to overreach their fellows in some way, and if they can get posession of some- thing that looks well on the face of it and will afford a reasonable prospect of profit, they are una- ‘ble to restrain their eagerness to make money, whatever the means may be. It is this class who are ever on the alert to get some- thing foras near to nothing as they can. , es Pat Could Not Differentiate Two Pains so Contemporaneous.

THE FAMILY BATHROOM. An Indigpensable Adjanct to a Well- Ordered Household. It is one of the most surprising things in the world why people who have the ordinary comforts of life should build houses without bathrooms. The farmer needs the bath much more than his city neighbor, and could have it at a small cost. A bathtub-is not expensive, and with a good force- pamp and a barrel or two as head water, can be arranged without the aid of skilled labor. If the house ‘is already built and there is no room for the bathtub, it might be put into the kitchen, or even into the family living room. A heavy curtain or a strong sereen could conceal it, and, when not in use, a cover could be closed down over it, and it would be quite out of the way. But a little ingenuity and work will fix it in fine running order in any ordinary dwelling. There are many houses where there is a range, with hot and cold water, but no bathtub. This is an omission that should not be tolerated. A small tank, with force-pump and drainage, can be supplied for a very little money, and if the house is not warm enough to keep this without freezing, it is time some measures were taken to in- eure anti-freezing conditions. A well-equipped bath-room, with closet, can be arranged in any dwell- ing where there is even a tolerable supply of water. The kitchen sink can drain through the pipes, the water from the weekly wash will clear them vut, and if there is proper ventilation and a suitable outlet there will be noth- ing unsanitary in the outfit. Of course, the more water the better, but as every house is, or should be. supplied with a never-failing well, the rouscle expended in pumping is very well used in this direction. By all means have the health, comfort and safety of the family provided for by proper and sanitary bathroom and closet arrangements.—N. Y.

In Full War Paint They Marched Into a ‘ ‘Cave One ut a Time. — “A member of the Canadian mounted police, Lieut. McDonough, told me,” said Capt. Partello at the Officers’ club, “the following incident of a band ‘of Crees and a solitary Piegan © Indian, which is novel and interesting. + It oc- curred about 100 miles from Fort Walsh. A band of Cree Indians woke up one siiowy morning to find that about one dozen. of their choicest ponies had been runoff during thenight. Pursuit was soon organized, and within a fewhours a fresh trail was found in the snow. After following the trail some 30 miles it entered a river bottom and headed for a. wooded island in the middle of the river. | “Smoke was seen rising from the trees, and an opening, which seemed to be the mouth of a cave, appeared in plain view, Piegan, showed up in front of the open- ing. He was in war paint, and there was a dog at his heels. Pretty soon the dog scented the Crees and began growl- ing and barking.. The Piegan looked up, glanced a moment about him, and then instantly entered the cave. In about ten seconds another Piegan came around the rocks and also went in; then another and another and another, there being but a few seconds between them. The Crees lay silently in the bushes watching and counting, until upward of 50 Piegans had come around the rocks and gone into the cave, and still they kept coming. What seemed remark- ‘able was the fact that all these Indians were, to all appearances, exactly the same size, were dressed and painted alike, each carried a Winchester rifle, and, most remarkable of all, each one seemed a little lame in the left foot, limping slightly. “They were a gaudy crowd, and the Crees counted 70 of them. The super- stitious Crees naturally concluded that the evil spirit had something to do with it, for there was no doubt that there were 70 Piegan Indians on the island, who were exactly alike. - “So thoroughly were they filled with the idea that the devil was mixed up reenforcements arrived, which was in a few hours, they were reluctant to attack the island. That night one Cree, less superstitious. than the rest, crossed over the ice to investigate. On approach- ing the supposed cave he was surprised to find it was no cave at all, but simply an opening leading some ten feet into the rock, where it made a turn and came out on the other side, It required but a glance to understand what had seemed so mysterious before. ‘There was but the remnant of a single camp fire ,the ponies were gone, and not an Indian was in sight, The apparent presence of 69 other warriors was. a sharp trick on the part of the Piegan warrior to de- \ ceive his enemies and gain time for his | escape, which he accomplished in good shape.”—Buffalo Express. Two Irish Anecdotes. An Trish relation of mine found two countrymen in the dust of the highway. The uppermost was thumping the beat- en foe severely. The newcomer cried: “Let him get up. "Tis a cowardly thing to hit a fellow when he’s down.” The victor panted: “Yer honor’d never be | after asking me to let him up av ye knew the thrubble ’twas I had to down him.” The same gentleman tells, how | he visited a wild-beast show, and saw a countryman come in, bearing unmis- takable signs of having had.a glass too much.
