Little River, S. C. HOUSE THAT" DAN BUILT. . ( ....-. . , BY B. B. "Yes, it should be a cottage," said Dan Berkely, laying down his rule, and beginning to chalk out a diagram on his carpenter's bench ; "yes, it should be a cottage, and built on the plan of Ben Morrill's. It should have one of those picturesque Gothic porti cos just here, facing the west" (here Dan made a pentagonal addition to the western side of the digram), "and two bay windows" (making tw6 small er pentagons), "and here should be the parlor, and here the library, and here the cool, pretty little breakfast room, where we would breakfast to gether so cozily Minnie and I ;" and Dan smiled to himself at the charming picture his fancy had created. Minnie" might well have been proud of Dan if she had happened to see him just then ; for he was looking his best. ' .Men always do, when they are thinking such good, pure thoughts as filled Dan Berkely's mind that day. And Dan Berkely, looking his best, was not to be sneered at, I assure you. It is not every day that one meets such a handsome fellow, or one so manly and ooble. Ermina Lovering thought o; and when Daa asked her to be his wife she very willingly spoke the little word that made him happy. If there was any cue thing in whic h Dan implicitly believed it was the goodness and sweetness and translu cent loveliness of Minnie Lovering. And it was. one of Minnie's articles of faith that there never was a man so worthy of confidence as Dan. 'The None thing that stood in the way .of tLeij.pt'rfeff -i.iaj?j)ines9was Dan's lack of worldly wealth. He" could not aflord to build a house, aud Ermina was determined not to marry until they could begin life in a cozy, independent home of their own. .The subject v. i one of great anxiety to Dan. He spent a great deal of time planning ani contriving how he could raise money enough to build a cottage like Ben Morrill's. So now, as lie stood there, planning out his house for the live hundreth time, he grew so interested in it that he fell to thinking aloud, and confided all his hopes to the carpenter's bench and tools, never dreaming that he had another auditor. How should he know that Uncle Nathan Hale had just composed him self for a snooze on the wide bench un der the open window of his shop, and was listening intently to every word he said ? There was a suspicious moisture in Uncle Nathan's eyes "and a suspicious quiver on his lips. He was 7ery fond of his nephew and his pretty 'fiancee, and he thought it really too bad that they could not have their house. Here am I, quoth Uncle Nathan to himself, "worth a snug fortune, and no earthly use for it, and really - " An then and there Uncle Nathan formed a plan which he resolved to put immediately into execution. So he said to Dan the next morning-: . "Dan, I want you to build a nouse for me."- . A house for you, 1 Uncle "Nathan?, What In the w oild do ou want of a house ? Are you going to get married ? "That is none of your business," said UnclevNathanr irascibly. VWill you undertake the job, or won't you ?" , x "Of course," replied Dau, who un derstood the old gentleman's peculiar ities. "But when, where, and how i it to be built? i "I.'wautit to beroMnmeaTnKnt f .. . . . . , . . V. I orT," said Uncle Nathan, decidedly. "And I want it built on that corner lot of mine where the big elms stand. That's a fine building spot. It's to be a cottage. You've seen Ben Morrill's? Well, that is the style ; only my cot tage is to be ever so much prettier than his.. J.'l leave jt .to your, judge ment and taste. .. Make it just such a house as you'd like for yourself. And you are not to "bother "me "about it. Take it entirely into your hands. Hire all the workmen you want ; only get it done as soon as possible. Call on me when you want funds jTf expense is no object." " " " r "Uncle Nathan, I: d6believe you are going, to get5imarriedltl laughed the astonished nephew. . - ! - . Uncle Nathan's eyes twinkled as he. answered: "You. . build me. a.pretty house, and I'll promise you. there will be a pretty, woman , in it ; within a month from the day it is finished.'.' That evening Dan. told .Ermina about -what hfc warfo' buiiuk and, thai he believerl Unrle Nathafl harnatri rnonial intentions.5 Whereat. they both tell te guessing whom he was go ing "to marry. Dan guessed ' Miss Nancy Dawes, but Minnie believed it the Widow Banks. ; J l :. J; i - So Dan went- to work at Uncle Nathan 'a cottage, m He threw .into it all jthe taste,-the pride, the enthusiasm which he would nave bestowed upon the ideal bottage of his . own., . t Once in awhile Uncle Nathau came to look at the iiuilding, nod Approvingly, and 4 away. 1 I X j i. ... Vhen at L8t it was all finished, and he had expressed himself delighted at it, and everybody who passed said it was the prettiest house in town, Uncle Nathan said to Dan : "Now I want it furnished. ' I don't know the first thing about the furnish ing of a house ; it takes a woman for that. So I want Ermina Lovering to select and arrange the fixings. She has more taste than any woman I know.", "Except Miss Nancy Dawes, Uncle Nathan," slyly suggested Dan. "Miss Nancy Dawes be hangejj!" exploded the old gentleman. Whereat Dick laughed, and went off to tell Ermina of Uncle Nathan's oesire. And Ermina, with carte blaLche from Uncle Nathan, went forth among the furniture dealers. Ami presently the house was furnished frefti garret to celler, and UncleNath an came with Dan and Minnie to in spect it. "Very good, "said he, after a tour through the house, "and now here's your pay," handing Dan a folded pa per. Dan opened it. It was a deed of the cottage, upon which Uncle Nath an had bestowed the poetic name of "Elm Lodge." "Why! why. Uncle Nathan! what does this mean ?" stammered Dan, staring in bewilderment at the deed. Ermina peeped over his shoulder. "Oh! you darling, Uncle Nathan !" she cried, clapping her hands. "You meant it for us all the time." " "Of course, little witch," smiled Uncle Nathan, pulling her curls. "Are you very much disappointed because I am not going to marry Miss Nancy or the widow ?" Minnie testified her disappointment by throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him rapturously. So, af ter all, Don and Minnie were married vi'ry soon, and began life in this ideal cottage. ....... A Yomifi: Ooctor's Narrow Kacupe. JTrom the Newton Enterprise.

NORTH CAROLINA PENSIONS .AND CLAIMS. What the House Senate are Up to The Hall of Records The Senate's Secracy. Special Corrapondente of tu Sentinel. Washington, April 12. It was an exciting week. Everybody, working man and Congressman, joined in the jubilee. The Capital nearly went crazy. Joe Jefferson and a 'circus were enough to unnerve Congress, but the Seventh N. Y. Regiment and Grad Master Powderly fairly took the town. Nobody did anything last week but go to see Joe Jefferson, the circus, The Seventh N. Y., and the working men. Brass bands fairly occupied the streets during the first part of the week. The music that wafted through the Congressional Library door, thence to the Rotunda, when, dividing North and South, the strains rushed pell-mell into the Senate and House. Half of Congress was out on the streets. The other half was itching to get and see the fun. away, THE SENATE was requested, by the United Labor League, to pass a vote of thanks to Gladstone for his efforts on behalf of Ireland. Senator Cullom presented a bill increasing total disabilty pensions to $72. A perfect avalanche of pen sion bills was passed. Senator Rid dleberger presented a bill qualifying cx-Confederates to hold commissions in the U. S. Army. The Pension Of fice Ivestigation afforded additional evidence of Republican rascality. An other "improperly allowed" case was unearthed. THK HOUSB experienced no relief from the storm of bills. One calls for $30.00U to ex plore the Teiritory of Alaska. An other offers a substitute tor Capt. Eads' scheme, in shape of $1,373,000 for a caual from The Dailes to Calilo. The River and Harbor Bill was the subject of the week. - A number of wrathy speeches were made against false economy. A bill was reported to pension pensioners ot war. There is a growing belief that the pension fever has become chronic. 8147,000 is the amount reported to indemnify the Chinese. NORTH CAROLINA PENTION9 a . mt are becoming quite numerous, llie North Carolina delegation has contrib uted its mite to the general fund. It is safe to say, however, that North Carolina's Representatives have taken advantage of the present unprecedent ed opportunity wisely and not too well. At least, it is noticeable that the claims thev advance are within the bounds of reason. And yet most every week brine: a wail from an un- pensioned North Carolinian. Last week Representative Skinner sought a pension tor Bryant Waters; Kepre- sentative Cowles, for George W. Brown and Moses Triplett : Repre sentative Johnston, for Stephen Rice, Nor is the reservoir drained. NORTH CAROLINA CLAIMS are no less bashful : they appear with out blushing because they are honest. This includes War Claims. Repie sentative Johnston sought ialief for Thomas C. Dickey, and Naomi E. McCourv. Representaiive Skirner submitted the War Claim of John F, Pendleton. A North Carolina Rep resentative is on each of the commit tee's to which these claims are referred Altogether, pensions, claims, and war claims keep North Carolina's sons quite busy. In the matter of War Claims, Representative Reid has dis played the perseverance and watch fulness, the wisdom aud ability, for which he is noted. THE HALL OF RECORDS, which the Senate has concluded to give the executive, legislative, and ju dicial departments, is quite a happy thought. It will supply a long-felt want something the benate has fail ed to supply in many moons. It will guard the old patriotic manuscripts of the general government against all manner of danger. But it will only cost $200,000, and what is worse, will be of brick. It has been secretly whispered that the Hon. Mr. Warner, whose fondness for brick is well-known did not believe the Senate's economy until fairly convinced. , THE SENATE'S SECRECY still disturbs the popular heart. The popular heart has throbbed with that impatience which mystery only can create. It loves the Senate too well to be crushed by a deaf ear. It insists on knowing just what the Senate does during these mysterious executive ses sions. It will not believe the Senate's executive sessions are too sacred to be profaned bv the popular eye. It thinks its patriotic love deserves share of the secrets. There may be some reason in the popular heart's complaint. But it is altogether too unsophisticated It ought to know by this time what the Senate does during its executive sessions. Generally, it does nothing. ABRAM S. HEWITT has turned his attention to smugglers. Abram S. wants them tried at once ; he wants a court of custems establish ed. Abram S. thinks not of capture.

C. and Returns as Commander of the King's Guards. . Fuom the Salisbury Herald. Last Tuesday we had the pleasure of meeting Capt. D. B. Smith, on his way to his old home in Wilks county. Fourteen years ago a cousin of our townsman, Sam. McCubbins, kept a store in the Brushy Mountains, in his employ was a smart, intelligent and industrious youth. D. B. Smith, at a salary of $100 per year. As soon as young Smith had accumulated a little money from his meagre earnings, he went to Louisville and read medicine, after which he practiced medicine in the Indian territory, when the desire to see the world took him to Texas, Brazil, aiound the world to China, Ja pan, and finally he landed at the Sand wich Islands, where he made himself so useful to the government that he was appointed to the command of the King's bodyguard. His com pany con sist of sixty native soldiers and a band of thirty-seven native musicians. That the King of these Islands, Kalakaua, imposes the most implicit confidence in Capt, Smith, may be known by the fact that he is sent by the King to New Orleans to look after the Haw aian exhibit, from where he has just arrived here. After visiting his old home Capt, S. will proceed to Wash ington on business for his King, thence he will go to Lynn. Mass. to buy from Mr. Edison an electric plant to furnish Honololu with with electric lights. He will also procure incandescent lights for the royal palace, after that he will return to Honolulu, where he is due on the 15th of June. Capt. Smith showed us photographs of the Royal family, also views of Honolulu, street scenes, farm houses, a groupe of a can ibal tribe, with whom Capt. Smith had a skirmish and a narrow escape from being captured and of course eaten. The picture of native farmers, of the lake of nre and the flowing lava, of the crater, of a royal parade and of a royal funeral were interesting. One view showed the leper settlements on an unpronouceable island. We were sorry when the departure of the West ern train cut short our interview and we wish the Captian good speed aud a safe return to his far off new home. We are proud to see a native North Carolinian acquire honors and emolu ments hi ajeign country. It .-an other leaT lied to the laurel trown of North 'arolina pluck, energy. bravery aud business tact.

I have sent a copy of the following letter to Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, which in justice to myself I now submit to the public : Richmond, April 21, 1886. Rev. J. B. Hawthorne: Sir The contest between the prohibitionists and their opponents in this city had been con ducted in good temper and with most kindly feelings between all who were engaged in it till you entered the arena and began to hurl abusive epithets at those whose opinions happened to differ with yours. Ihavebeen informed that, at a meeting held yesterday evening in a Christion church of this city, you de nounced both me and the staff of the State newspaper in most slanderous words, for no other reason than that we have dared to express our honest conviction. I would chastise you se verely for your offence, but, unhappily you claim to be a repersenative of a calling that properly commands the respects of all good men, and one that from childhood I have always held sacred. Of the security of your posi tion you were fully aware when you uttered your slanders, and that alone saves you from the punishment you so justly deserve. Richard F. Beirne.

Some of the old man's neighbors, examined it one lay and -pronounced it worth some thing. Shortly after the old man sold it to a Salisbury jeweler for two dol lars, which he thought an enormous price. The two dollars he invested in a dress for the old lady. Investigation proved the mass of mineral to be a nugget -of solid gold, and a search in the field in which it was ploughed up. resulted in the dis covery of the Reed mine, of Crbarrus county, the richest mine in the South ern States, and the old man reaped a fortune out of it.
