Zeb Vance's Great Argument.
Senator Wade Hampton tells this
tory about Senator "Zeb" Vance's
first case in the North Carolina
Supreme Court, aud he took great
pains with it. When the court came
to render a decision the Chief Justice
quoted Vance's argument in full. As
he was proceeding Vance looked
l'lou.lly around on the other lawyers
and cheerfully rubbed his bands. To
his mind that was the greatest argu

Court read Vance's argument through,
and then said: "For these reasons we

WATER FOR PIGS.

lim-Ktigniiini of the swine tilii-me
show that, of all farm animals, my'ihh
more than any other should have pure
water from a well. The microbe pro.
ducing the dread disease of swine
plague may be carried in a stream of
water; hence it is unwise to allow hog
to drink from a stream, though fed by
springs, if hogs nre kept under laid
conditions anywhere above on the
stream. The microbe may lie in moist
matter for months without having its
vitality impaired, hence it is folly to
allow hogs to drink from a stream w hen
disease bis prevailed within some
months among hogs anywhere on the
laud from which water enters tho
stream above. The danger is so great,
ami may so suddenly or unawares make
its appearance, that it is never wise to
allow hogs to drink from a stream. The
danger from stagnant water is as great
While the microbes can find their way
into it from only a limited territory,
such water always contains organic
matter, making conditions favorable
to the life of the microbes, and they
may exist in it, w ith evil power unim
paired, for weeks or mouths. Aside
trom tliis, stagnant water is unlit to be
drunk; pools, ponds etc., are far
of tener an injury than a benefit.
Nor does every well yield pure water,
freo from contamination. It the sur
face water Is allowed to enter it, there
is as good a chance of its being tainted
as there is of a pool being tainted. Nor
will tho passage of the water through
a few feet of loose soil filter out the
disease germs. "Seep" wells nre often
the unsuspected cause of disease; there
are many eases of their being proven
the sources of typhoid fever, etc The
well, to be safe, must be fed by Bn un
derground stream, and it is all the bet
ter if it be at least twenty feet below
the surface. The soil should be taken
away from around the well for several
feet back, and replaced with clay
stamped solid. And if the mouth of
the well be lower than anv of the sur
rounding ground, make a bank of clay
around it so high that no surface water
can get in. Have a tight curb to ex
clude mice, etc.: but not one that will
not allow the air freely toenterthe well.
Such a well will yield safe drink for
swine, ami for other farm animals as
well. The very rapid ndvance of moil
ical research has shown that the rout

their nature, onco blamed on evil spir

AMONG THE AINUS.
The Koorle IUiilri' Avernlou to tna
tie of Snap and Watrr.
Washing of person or clothing for
the sake of cleanliness never seems to
be considered of the slightest impor
tance to them. In warm weather the
younger people aro tempted to cool off
a bit by bathing and swimming in tne
rivers or salt-water estuaries near the
villages; but, during all of my expe
rience (and this is fully continued by
the statements of others who have had
longer knowledge of them), 1 never
onco saw a man or woman performing
nnv thine like ablutions in an Ainu
village. When brought under civiliz
ing influences, they adapt themselves
to their environment, and make very
good servants.
An old custom of tho peoplo forbids
an Ainu woman exposing her person
in any way. Some go so far as to say
that they must not lfo unclothed even
in private. Consequently, the "ills
whom I saw in bathing wore their cot
ton gowns, cut in the shape of a shift,
while the boys were without clothing
of anv kind, t loiiL'h some ot tliem
wore amulets (of Japanese origin)
tied around their necks.
I was particularly struck by the
------ v -
shapeliness of the Ainu limbs and ex
tremities. Some of tho women had
small hands and feel, attached to well
turned wrists and ankles, whose sym
metry and delicacy of shape dirt could
not hide. The color of the skin seems
to be darker than that of the Japan
ese, but just how much of this is due
to exposure, or how much to their an
tipathy to water and utter ignorance
of soap, it is impossible to even guess.

BACHELORS IN LOVE.
A Clever Picture Drawn, ol Coune, by an
Artful Woman.
A bachelor in love loses a dimple or
two, grows melancholy, roads poetry
and looks at the moon; is nervous
about his necktie and his gloves; con
sults his aunt as to what kind of hats
girls most admire; changes tho stylo of
his frequently, but is never satisfied.
His countenance is as changeable as
his necktie. Now she has smiled, and
he is radiant; now she h is frowned,
and ho wears a furrowed brow, and
looks in at tho apothecary's windows
and thinksi of laudanum.
If his laundress sends him home a i
bosom not quite perfect, it grieves him
to the heart score. Ho passes tho mist
golden-haired damsel without a glance.
Ho goes no more to see burlesques.
His bouquets nre anonymously sent to
the object of his adoration. Ho is
hourly afraid of. revealing his condi
tion of heart, but makes it manifest
unconsciously to all beholders. Fiend
ish passions dwell in his breast Ho
hears that sho has been at the opera
with young Wclkens, and wants to kill
him. Ho says fiercely in society that
ho npproves of dueling, and that,
should lie call a man out, he would aim
at his heart
Ho would liko very much to work
hard and make a fortune, but he can
not do it. Ho horrifies his employer
by entering as an item in tho ledger,
"1,000 Angels." He is seen to clasp
his brows suddenly at dinner-time, to
the horror of the waiter, who, believ
ing him to be choking, beats him on
the back and offers him water. He
goes surreptitiously to so-called clair
voyants, who describe "a light-eon
plected young lady, sir, and her face
turned your way, and her heart in her
hand, if only you can get over the
cross betwixt you."
He thinks the cross is young Wcl
kens. and grows dangerous.
.Suddenly you see the bachelor in
love amazingly altered. He smiles,
looks happy, cats comfortably, and
nods to his old enemy WelkeiH. Then
you may be sure that he has somewhere
in his bosom a certain arte ile visile,
and that the original of the picture has

mBOUT DIPHTHERIA.
eTeral Well-tutlirntlrated InnUnret or
Ile CniiiiiiuuirMtluu,
Dr. Young, secretary of tho State
Board of Health, says there is a misa.
prehension in the public mind regard
ing the contagiousness of diphtheria.
The direct communication of the dis
ease is shown by a young lady who
came homo sick w.th diphtheria in n
mild form, and on her arrival her
brothers and sisters embraced her.
They were all attacked with a malig
nant typo of diphtheria, and one died.
The same yotinsr lady visited an aunt
in another family where there worn
four children who took the s.-imo dis
ease, and one died.
Another instance. At tho death of a
child from diphtheria two women
helped in laying it out One of them,
who was fifty-throe years of ago, was
attacked ill ft few days, and died in
three more, and tho other took the dis
ease in a mild form and recovered.
Another case is that of a boy who had
diphtheria in Boston. He came to this
State to visit relatives. In a few days
lifter his arrival his aunt washed some
of his clothing, aud was taken with
diphtheria tho next week and it went
through tho family, four cases. Be
fore the aunt was taken sick tho boy
went to another place and played with
another boy, who took tho diphtheria
and gave it to two other persons Iq
that family.
Tho doctor reports a sad caso as fid
lows: An only child was taken sick
with diphtheria and died on the fourth
day. The young mother in her grief
kissed the child and fctok the disease.
Within a week sh buried beside
the child.
In a neighborhood whero no diph
theria had oxistod for four years a
school teacher visited a city a notori
ous hot-bed of diphtheria. Ho con
tracted what ho called a slight soro
throat Ho returned homo with this
still upon him and opened school; in
less than a week six were lying sick
with diphtheria nnd tho school was
closed. Tho result was live deaths,
three of which were adults.
In one family three children died of
this disease in tho croupous form. Tho
nurse believed it was not possible to
carry tho disease in clothing, and
would not change her dress upon leav
ing tho house, and was not afraid to
take her children up in her lap upon
going home. Sho was admonished
against such ft foolhardy course. Ten
days nfter sho left tho infected
house the physician was called
nnd found her family ill with
diphtheria of tho most fatal
form. One child died In thirty-six
hours nfter it was nttacked. Another
caso a woman died of diphtheria in
Lynn. Mass. Her son brought her
clothes and bedding home. His wife
washed them and took the disease, and
died in less than a week.
The doctor says that cases liko thoso,
which unmistakably show tho con
tagious nature of diphtheria, are in
numerable, aud nt the same timo thero
are endless instances in which diph
theria has not been coniniunicnted to
others exposed to it. This does not
prove that tho disease is not contagious.
All persons nre not susceptible to tho
infection. Ho says another thing
which makes the infection of diphtheria
doubly dangerous is its persistent
vitality. Unless euro in disinfecting be
taken, the infection will survivo to
start mysteriously nnothor epidemlo at
some future time, months, or perhaps
years afterward, liko tho following: A
boy visited a family in Eastport whore
there was a case of diphtheria. Upon
his return homo his sister, aged
sixteen, took the diseaso and died in
three days. Six months afterward,
another sister came from Massachusetts
and occupied the room which had boon
the sick room. Sho took tho diphtheria
and died after live weeks' sickness.

CUSTOMS.
New Orlrana HurlMf Mill llnnnr the Tra
(lillniii of the Obi Keelme.
The social customs of New Orleans
differ widely from thoso of any other
city of the' Union, derived n they
largely are from tho iisinige and pre
cedents of the French and Spanish
regime, many of which hold good to
day. The old French social law, which
divided people into throe different
classes tho aristocrat, the bourgeois
and the canaille-lias to a great extent
become a dead letter.
The middle class is to-day an un
important factor in society here. Ono
misses also that st'tdivision into cliques
and sel which exists elsewhere. In ft
social sense New Orleans is virtually
n dual city, the dividing line between
Canal street its principal thoroughfare.
Above this dwell the Americans, who
now predominate in tho population.
Below it live tho Creoles, tho descend
ants of the haughty cavaliers and
beauties who formed the court of tho
French nnd Spanish Governors of the
province, and who still hold sacred
the stately manners, the stringent
customs and tho prejudices of their an
cestors. They, however, have for the
greater part suffered reverses of for
tune. This prevents their active partici
pation in society or tho lavish mode of
entertainment to winch they wore
accustomed.
It has not deprived them, however.
of a certain Influence over the social
tone of the city, and in no respect is
this more readily manifested than In
the universal observance of the chap
eron system. This system is closely
adhered to as well in Atuericnn ns in
Creole circles, nnd tho penalty of its
disregard is scandal and gossip, and
perhaps, if tho offenso be sufficiently
serious, social ostracism.
Young ladies do not attend the
thonter with a gentleman without a
chaperon, especially at night, unless
they lie nearly related or liotrolheii.
Under no circumstances is it possible
for a young girl io lunch or dino in a
public restaurant unless a chaperon
bo present, and few New Orleans girls
would enter such a place except to at
tend a lunch or dinner party to which a
number of guest. i were bidden and
whero ono or more chaperons were
present
As regards horseback exercise, in
which New Orleans gills indulge but
rarely, tho rule requiring a chaperon Is
much less rigidly enforced, but upon
driving without tho matronly protec
tion thero is virtually an absolute pro
hibition.
Social calls are for tho most part
confined to Sunday evening, when
gentlemen present themselves ns early
as seven o'clock, nnd aro expected to
withdraw not later than eleven o'clock,
good breeding, of cotirso, requiring the
first comer to yield to his successor.
Formal calls aro paid only on Sunday
or on tho evening of tho hostess'
special reception days, and do not hero
much exceed half an hour.
In Creole circles tho mother of the
young lady receiving tho caller Is In
variably present, but among Americans
the custom is observed only according
to the degreo of intimacy between the
parties. Excursions, picnics, etc., form
no part of tho social entertainment of
New Orleans, though occasionally par
ties aro formed to visit the neighbor
ing plantations when tho cano is being
converted into sugar. In such cases
tho host makes a point of providing at
least one, and often several, chaperons.
Invitations to balls, parties, or recep
tions nre always worded to include tho
chaperons, and subscribers to the club,
gorman or cotillion, of which at least
one is given during tho season, aro
furnlsliod with separate cards for chap
erons nnd partners.
In matters of courtship nnd marriago
the Creole follow tho French plan ftiid
the maternal supervision ends only
with tho signing of the nuptial regis
try. Among the American portion of
the population the American custom
prevails, and the momont an acquaint
ance merges himself Into a suitor ho is
accorded greater freedom of communi
cation. A'. Y. Press.

A imnll nnd pretty boy, who In ro

for music, is almost that of genius.
Though ho does not know one note

of an opera, after hearing the perform
ance, right along with his mother s
ncconitmninient on the liiaiio. His
voice is liko ft girl's, ftnd sweet and
clear ns the notes of h bird. The boy
is never so happy as when permitted to
go to an operatic performance, and his
criticisms aro so unerring as to be
startling in tho advanced ideas ex
pressed by a child. Ho cares nothing
for tlio theater, but craves music, and,
if deprived of it, he would be a very
unhappy child. Ho never touches the
piano himself and is not inclined to
instrumental music, though his two
brothers raise tho roof with banjo
tdaving. Hut lie will sit by his mother
for an hour or two, and pour out his
beautiful voice in high, pure notes.
