DRIFT.
In "Paul I'atefl," Marlen Urawlerd'a
latest story, new running In tha Atlantic
Monthly, there la a description el a certain
young lady whom wa all knew, which la as
clever aa anything Mr. Crawford has written.
When my eyes Ural fell upon It 1 waa almost
startled. Tha portrait waa se well drawn
that 1 recognized It at once. I don't think
Mr, Craw lord has ever been here at Lancas
ter but irhe had lived here a life-time ha
could net have produced a mere accurate
picture of our mutual friend, who Jnst new
la se numerous, popular and omnipresent
In ' I'aul I'ateff" bar name Is given as
Chrysephrasla Iiabatreak. 1 knew nor by
ether names. Hut that makes no difference.
Nhe cannot disguise herself under any name.
We knew her by thla : " Her aye rejoices
only In the tints el the crushed strawberry
and the faded olive ; her ear loves the lim
ited poetry el doubtful sound produced by
abortive attempts te revive the unbarred
melodies of the trotllawleurs ; and her soul
thrill rospenalvely In the checkered light
falling through a stained glass window, as a
sensitive plant waves Its sticky leaves) when
a fly la In the neighborhood." By the way,
that I a new fact about the sensitive plant ;
I wonder whether Mr. Crawford baa It copy
righted. The l.lnniean society ought te
write te him for a specimen et that sensitive
plant t be may have one, for he has rnme
across some wonderful things In his travels,
lfene may Judge by bis novels.
" Rut llle has attractions ler Chrysophra Chrysephra
sla," le turn again te our portrait " Htie en
joys It after her own fashion. It la a little
disconnected. The relation between came
and tllect Is a little ebscure. She Is fragmen
tary. Mho Is a sorles of unllnlalind sketches
In various manner, hhe has her being In
the past tense, and her future, If alie could
have It alter her taste, would lie the past
made present Hhn has many aspiration,
and few el thorn are realized, but all of them
are sketched In faint hues upon the mist or
ber tnedliuval atmosphere. She is, in the
languagoef alyrle from her own pen,
The shadow of fair and of Joyous Impnsslhle,
Inrlutte, falntness.
That Is cut en thn mist e! the tea by the light et
the ages te come.'
Iler handwriting Is Oothle. Her heart Is of
the type created by Mr. Nwlnburne In the
minds of thoae who de net understand him
In their ininda, for In the llesb thntype la
net found. Moroever, she resent modern medern modern
neasef every kind, Including the stesm on en
Bine, the electrle telegraph, the continent of
North America and myself. Her political
creed abadews forth the government of the
future aa a pleasant combination or commun
ism and knlght-barenry, whereiu -all op
pressed persons shall have republics, snd all
nice people shall wear armor, snd live In
castles, and atrew the floors et their room
with rushes snd their garments with the
auatetmc monstrosities el heraldic blazon."
De you want te knew hew alie leeks ?
Well, she doesn't 'always leek exactly the
aame. Hut her usual appearance la pretty
nearly like thla : " 1'orsenally Mlsa Dab
streak is s laded blonde, with a very large
nose, a wide mouth garnished w Itb imperfect
teeth, a very thin figure nt considerable
height a peer complexion III set oil by scanty,
stragullng fair hair ; garmenta of unusual,

ligion, " ber mind la disturbed in Its choice
between a palatable form or Huddhisin and
a particularly luscious adaptation of Greek
mythology ; but In either case aa much
Christianity would be Indispensable as would
glve the whole a flavor of crusading." Her
earthly atOctlens are set chiefly upon certain
" earthen veaaels, abominable in color, and

reason for thinking se !
reRTt'NVTKi v we haven't e knew
from history and observation of the laws of
human progress that all hiicIi apparent cari
catures of culture are nothing but the gro
tesque embryo, immattire and unformed,
which altera row generations will result In
the perfected and fully developed man or
woman of culture. Ludicrous and pitilul aa
are our young lesthete with their ridiculous
pretensions, let us bear with them aa pa
tiently aa we can. They are prophetle of bet
ter things In the future. They are the Infant
scholars in the school el culture, trying te
learn the alphabet and spell nut the simplest
syllables. It ia funny, el course, te watch
their blundering attempts and see what
dreadful botches they make of it Hut It is
a geed sign for the future. It ia proof that
America Is at least beginning te wish for
culture, and trying te attain te It Every
body must learn tlie alphabet before lie can
read. And I am rejoiced that young Amor Amer
lea Is at It at last; that wearn beginning te
consider culture aa worth trying for, or at
least aa worth Imitating. (Setting money is
no longer the only thing we live ler. After
a while, In fifty nr a hundred years from
new, young America will have graduated
from the Infant tmhnel, and will net only
knew what culture la, but will pea-ess It
The present dud lam la only an unavoidable
stage lu our development toward our true
end and condition. Only have a llttln pa
tience. We will seen be ever the worst, or
at least the silliest, period el our social life.
In literature, I think, we are already ever
the worst, though our literature Is really net
yet a century old. The only thing that occa
sionally makes me doubt thla conclusion is
when I see It stated and dwelt upon and re
iterated in our papers and magazines. Ker
lnatancii, in the Century, which baa Just
reached me, I dee an "Open Letter," un
signed, which Is all ten hopeful In its " l'o l'e l'o

body, or a people, thinks It ia dntng very
well, it Is in danger of doing very 111. Self
satisfaction stunts and hinders growth.
At the same time, there Is a geed deal that
Is Interesting In the article. And It Is quite
surprising what a countless throng the com
pany of American verse-makers has grown
te be. Several scores are mentioned who
have within the last few years published
hoeka et poetry et greater or less worth. It
Is true, nene of them are poets of the first

Net long alnce I was visiting one of the
towns In upper Meuth Carolina. I and a
friend were taking an afternoon stroll Inte
the adjoining country. We had proceeded
aome distance and were passing through a
dense weed, when suddenly my companion
stoped aud nervensly Inquired : " What's
that ? ' 1 came te a halt and listened. A
weird, mntirntul sound floated through the
trees snd reached our ears. It seemed te
oernonnty ashert dlslance ; appeared te era
anate from the copse en the ether side el the
read, We crossed ever and followed, lnt
upon investigating what it was. We had
scarcely gatued the oppeilto thicket when we
encroached Inte one of thne country burial
grounds, which are te be found near every
hamlet In Seuth Carolina.
It was a strange ploure that met our alght,
and one that belonged mere te heathen lands
than le our own civilized country. There,
around a tiely-male grave about twenty twenty
llve negrees were cnllectrd. They all held
hands and worn slowly moving te and ire,
while they walled forth dirges, and at Inter
vals would ejaculate wild, incoherent words.
In the midst of the circle, at the head of the
grave, an old woman at, who rocked back
ward and forward. Her eyt rolled wildly,
and she moved In a mechanical way. This
was the widow et the deceased, and it waa
her required part In the ceremony te loudly
mean at appointed Inlervala dining the sing
ing. Heuietbing In this way their hymn
sounded, as nearly as I could catch the
words :
tin whtts her e he rode,
- . W id de sleale In he hand,
ATKlaWiw down our bmdeter

A mean I slstWiWan 1
And bore the widow wetlH-JWlntrrHluce
her heathenlsh Incvntatlens. Theto Wsite
kept up for aome time, when suddenly they
ceased and the negrees prostrated themselves
upon the ground, while the minister, a Ull,
very dark negre, atoed and dieted up a
prayer. After the " amen " was uttered
they rose, and two or the number took from
a basket near some articles with which they
decorated the grave, at It they were placing
upon the tomb llernl nflerlntja. They then
slowly formed lu precession and silently
marched out of the exclesure. My friend
and I, curious te decide what the peculiar
mode of grave decoration was, proceeded te
the spot where an old man waa shouldering
bla apade te quit the place.
" Why, elu man," said I, " what are these
things they have left en the grave ? Rettlea,
shots, s Jug 1 Why, what does It all mean?"
" Well, boss," aald the ebony grave digger,
with an air of Importance, " you see we puts
dearticlea dat de departed brudder ue te
use en de grabe for te keep away de bad
sperrels, and I spesu It is a sort eti 'prctlul

and a beam of placid fnlth illuminated the
old black face.
It ceitalnly was n strange sight Here
were numberless graves, all bowing the
same p'cluresque decorations. Children's
grave were covered with broken toys, tin
horns, gaudily colored clay cats, deg and
owls. One mound waa almost beat te the
ground with ego, and nu It rested In dilapida
tion an old bat and the remnant of a banjo,
also a clay plpe and a coon skin. Near ny
them was the grave el a blacksmith, with the
Implements of bis craft wedged in the
ground, and rusty liorse shoes formed a
circle around the mound.
Leeking around thn strange scene, It was
dllticult ter me te realize that I was in a land
of advancement and civilization while sur
rounded by such relics of superstition and
barbarism. 1 was forced te believe that the
negre, instead nt progressing In bis religious
views, Is daily evincing a tendency te fall
back te retlchlsm and voudeolsm, bis origi
nal lerm of worship. It prevails among the
negrees, especially en thn islands lu the
lower portion et the state. They de net, It la
true, give adoration te animals, trees and
stones, ss the Fetich worshiper did centu
ries age, but the dlllt-reuce Is very tllirht
from that et idolatry.

The old time Methodist habit of shouting

sometimes leads te ludicrous results. An ln ln

l'laoe Methodist church In Hroeklyn. The
Key Oeerge K. Heed in his sermon was tell

It by ixainplea from the Hible. An old gen

" Amen" and " That' se." The preacher re
marked that aome rsnns might doubt what
he told them, and say: "Ou, that's only
what Mr. Keed s's, and he doesn't knew
much, anyway." Just then came the fami
liar Interruption, "That's se, brother." The
house was convulsed with laughter, and the

The publication In tha iNTKt.LtenMCKts'fl
law political article that an snort waa being
made te force Harry lllppey out of tha
sherltl's fight caused quite a sensation
among tha political bosses. The parties In
the movement did net suppose that their at.
tempt would be mad publie se early, and
new It will probably tall. While Levi would
very much like te have Keller's boodle te
help him in the contest, the Influence el a
few of Hlppey'e friends Is worth mera te him
than the money could buy. The result will
be that when the slate la fixed up Hlppey
wilt be en It This will force Mentxer te take
either Keller or Butkhelder en hla combina
tion. Keller will in all probability be chosen,
and irae, there will be a oleae contest between
these three gentlemen. Keller will have
some little strength along the line of tha
Pennsylvania railroad and In thla city In ad

a scattering Individual vote, and If he can
spare the time te make a personal canvas he
will get many additional votes. The writer
of this had a conversation with close ob

TUB REOISTKB'S IIOHT.
There are some disturbing elements calcil
latc-d te upset the calculations of the bosses In
the register's contest. While it is certain
that Myers will be made Menlzsr's candi
date, there are three candidates in the Held
for that office in the Southern district, all et
whom will take votes, and a geed many of
tbem, tee, from Myers. B. F. OrelT will poll
about 1,000 voles In the district. Aldus Herr,
formerly of Lampeter and Strasburr, equally
aa many, and Cbarles flelger, of Hden, the
latest candidate, also a fair vote. The votes
or the above would go te Myers if they were
out et the read. On the ether band Geyer ia
handicapped by the candidacy of Oeerge
Hchlelt and J. A. Sellenberger. The latter
will hurt Geyer materially, and If he would
have stayed In the fight three years age,
would te-day be a formidable candidate,
ren TREASURER
C. A. SchafTner, of Marietta, has entered
upon a vigorous contest for the cilice of treas
urer. Fer a time it looked as If Steve Oris
singer would be given a clear track, out of
sympathy, because be has been defeated
every time he was a candidate for the past
twenty years. While the sympathy Is te
some extent for Gritaleger, It will require
active work en his part te get away with the
efltce. Schaflner is well-known through te
ueunty as a careful, reliable busluess man,
and the personal canvass ha will make will
add largely te hla vote.
THE LEADING OFFICE.
The candidates for protbeuoUry are mak
ing an active canvass. When It was an
nounced tn these columns that Capt Me Mel
len would be a candidate for thla etlice it
waa net generally believed. Hitice then he
haa had large cards printed and la making a
canvass ler the ettice. The politicians gen
erally belleve that he will withdraw his
name at the proper time and exert his lnllu
once ler some one of the ether candidates.
Hla candidacy affects Mentzer mere than auy
of the ethers, and that may be the reason he
auneunced himself. Whlle be has no love
for Hartman, he betas Mentzer because he
assisted iu his political downfall In hla own
ward. Kreider la still at work button-holing
voters, aud appears te be satisfied with the
progress he is making. Hartman and Ment-
rerare unusually active, and both may be
round from new ou, at any gathering In the
county where any number of voters are
likely te lie.
Ttir. CLERKS.
The candidates ler the orphans' court
clerkship are doing practically nothing. If
the orphans' court Judge bill passes this efllce
will be abolished. Levi L. Kreider, who
waa announced ler this cilice, la ready at a
minute's notice te switch ever te the quarter
sessions oiUce. Fer this position a greater,
fort is being made te elect Klllisn, tbe one
legged soldier. His principal backer is Capt
Settley. Jehn Clinten, Geerge Hunter and
Dr. Urban are also making a vigorous can
vass. TIIK OTHER OEFICES.
There is no change In the commissioners'
tight The leading candidates are Jehn Gin
grlcb, Ben Hersbey, C. A. Derrick and AL
Werth. Gingrich and Hershey are te-day
tbe strongest candidates.
Fer coroner tbe contest will be between
Hhlder and Heneman, who were pitted
against each ether three years age. Corener
Heneman desires a renomlnatlen because he
Is a cripple and unable te work. Hhlffer
wants the office because he la tee
old te work at his trade. Each haa
had a term, tbe people knew both, and will
select the most deserving candidate.
THE CARDS,
The candidates this year have spent a
power of money In baviug cards printed, in
which they show geed Judgment These for.

Frem the Providence Journal, Feb. J4.
Mercury Is the evening star until March 21,
and after that time' become morning star.
On the 5th of March at 11 o'clock in tha even
ing he reaches his greatest eastern elongation,
being 18 14' east of tbe sun. Ha la then at
hla greatest distance from the sun, and under
the meat favorable conditions that will occur
during the year for being seen with the
naked eye. Intelligent and cireral observ
ers will be sure te find him, and a eight of
the awirt-rneted planet Is worth all tha trouble
It costs. Mercury sets en the etb. an hour
and a half after the aun. He must be looked
for In the west, about three-quarters of an
hour after sunset, and will be visible net
only at his eastern elongation en tbe 5th, bnt
for a week before- and alter that event,
though swift et feet and fleet of wing, he
cbangea his position at every reappearance.
Observers should note carefully the point of
the horizon where the aun went down. Mer
cury will be found en the 6th 9 north of
that point, and In a northeast direction from
the sun. Venus will be an excellent guide
In pointing out bis position, ler en the 6th
ahe Is less tbsn 5 southeast of blnv An
opera glasa sweeping the aky northwest of
Venus will be sure te bring Mercury Inte
