Governor's Guard celebrated en

Thursday their second anniversary by a parade on the streets, in which they were joined by the Light Guards, McKeen Cadets and the Light Artillery. The Ringgold Band led and altogether made an imposing display, on which an Immense throng of onr citizens—a greater part ladies—looked with pride.

THE Knights of Father Matthew announce a brilliant entertainment at Dowllng Hall on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, the 17th. Hon. B. W. Hanna will deliver a lecture on "The Misrule of the Irish People," snd sn. interesting programme of music and recitations and short speeches has-been arranged. The programme will be found in another column.

IT would seem like Owen, Pixley A Co. had ample room for the storage and display Of their stook of clothing. But they haven't. Every inch of shelf room is filled to overflowing, making necessary an addition of forty feet in the rear, which is now being made. Their stock of goods is simply immense. For instance, In children's wear alone they have over one hundred patterns.

THE Circuit Court has had an interesting case this week. Oliver Wilson, it will be remembered was prosecuted and acquitted as one of the parties wrecking a freight train at St. Mary's, for which Jackman and Knight were afterwards sent to the penitentiary. Wilson now brings Buit against jthe I. & St. L., road for damages. The evidence was all in yesterday evening, and to-day the argument is being made—Rhoads and Taylor speaking for the plaintiff, and Sant C. Davis and John T. Dye for the road.

THE jolly membera of the Horticultural Society have of late turned their attention to giving surprises to various members. This week they seleoted for their victims Mr. and Mrs. Scholtz. Monday was the thirty-third anniversary of the marriage of this worthy and respeoted couple. About two o'clock they were surprised at seeing some fifty of their friends lavadlng their beautiful grounds in the southern suburbs of the city. After the surprise and congratulations had measurably subsided, Mr. N. G. Buff, in behalf of the society, presented them a set of chlnaware, fifty six pieces, also one dozen linen napklnB from the members of the Horticultural Society colleotlvely, and from Mrs. Kussner a large and beautiful linen table spread from Mrs. Dr. Pence, a set of silver plated knives and forks from Mrs. H. Biinn, a silver sugar spoon from Mrs. HOP ford, a set of silver plated teaspoons from Mrs. Cronin, a handsome silver plated fruit dish.

BURGLARS.

These midnight visitors have again resumed active operations. At at* early hour Sunday morning the store of Mrs. T. H. Riddle was entered and goods to the value of some $200 taken. It was mostly a lot of new jewelery that had just been received. The entrance was made by removing a panel from the lower portion of a rear door.

An attempt was made the same night to enter in the same way the saloon of Patrick Hogan, corner of Eighth and Main streets. The breaking in of the panel awoke Mr. Hogan who ran to the front door and blew a police whistle, which of coarse put the burglars on a run.

On Tuesday night the door of Briggs Holuaes' lumber office was forced open and an unsuccessful attempt made to open the safe.

The same night Kidder Bros' mill office was entered by a window. The drawers were ransacked, but nothing of value was found.

A car standing on the sidetrack at the C. it T. H. depot, on First street, was broken open and a quantity of tobacco and two kegs of beer taken.

All of the above seems to be the work of boys, as the clumsy manner in which it is done indioaies that these midnight house-breakers are not professionals.

OUR PHOTOGRAPHS.

THE POPULAR PICTURE.

TRIBULATIONS OF BEING "TOOK."

«A fully equipped photograph gallery nowadays, with its scenic backgrounds and accessories, its dark rooms and mysterious looking nooks, has something of a theatrical look about it, as if ope were on the stage. During the past few years the art of photography has made wonderful progress, until it has arrived at such perfection that but one thing seems needful, and that is beauty —universal beaaty in mankind. However, not every man who has bought a camera and put out his sign has reached even a fair degree of perfection in photographing. Most people suppose thst photographs are taken by a machine, and that one machine is as good as another. Consequently they patronize the place where the machine grinds for the least money. The result is that the world is fnlLof the most frightful abominations called, by fraud, photographs. Go into the average parlor and take up the inevitable

DILAPIDATED ALBUMT)

And scan the caricatures of good men's countenances which it contains. It is true that the majority of people don't know a good photograph when tbey see it, and very luoky is this for the photographer himself otherwise he were speedily assassinated by a suffering public.

Almost all of us, who can lay claim to sufficient respectability to be possessed of friends, indulge occasionally in having our "pictures taken." It makes very little difference whether we patronize the parlors of the high toned artist or the humble shanty which goes around on wheels, our personal experience is much the same...

The art has made Buch progress In the past few years, that to have a well appointed gallery of the present day requires almost the

PROPERTIES OF A THEATBE. Do you wish your "counterfeit presentiment" to appear wrapped in furs and calmly walking with a smile in a northeast snow storm? You can have it. Or would you prefer to recline in a dreamy attitude in some beautiful sylvan retreat? Or perhaps you think a Rembrandt bust with the classical vigor of marble is what your friends would like. Or a full length from the doorway of a rural cottage, with the honeysuckle in bloom, and a pathway leading down to the old gate, that in the modern novel must bo a "trysting place." This is a favorite background with sentimental young ladies. Perhaps you have a studious mind, and like an interior with library and globe, und the figure intently perusing a book. Almost any Btyle or whim can be produced.

But If y6u leave the whole affair to the artist and tell him yon think he ought to know what is the correot thing, how you should dress, position, expression, etc., the ohances are he will give you a plain head and bust, both in the artistic and common sense view.

The majority of people, when viewing their photographs, exclaim, "How cross I look 1 And yet, if I smile, its a siokly, ghastly grin!" Of course, a forced smile while sitting, is sure to look the same in the proof, and we would advise the subject not to attempt it, as it almost always draws the mouth, makes it look large, and in nine cases out of ten is unsatisfactory. If you wish to look pleasant, do so from the eyes, not from the mouth. "Laughing eyes" are expressive, and it is not BO difficult to do as one would imagine.

But very few of the many who sit for their photographs are entirely pleased with the result. A photographer of twenty years experience, says he has invariably found that a Btout person wants to be thin, a short one tall, a dark complexion light, and vice versa, and to a certain extent the operator, by means of position and light, can accomplish all of these. And he has found that the gentlemen are as vain, if not more so, than the ladies. He has seen one of the sterner sex pose himself before a mirror for two long hours, and leave without sitting, becauso, as he said, he "couldn't strike any good position, but would call and try it another day."

A lady about to be photographed is chiefly concerned about her hair, and as "the crowning point of woman's glory is her hair," it behooves her to arrange it in a stylish and becoming manner. The gentleman bestows greatest attention to his moustache, in the absence of which his neck tie is next in order.

The photographio artist faoes many difficulties in the praotice of his art. As to please everybody is expected of him, the necessity and difficulty of suiting people with their own looks is obvious. He must be a good chemist, have a thorough knowledge of light and shade, somewhat of an optician, and above all he must have the patience of Job. For when Mis. Smith fetches her cherubs, and an engraving representing three children lovingly entwined, smiling benignantly upon each other, and wishes her progeny portrayed likewise, has be not need of great patience? It takes him an hour to coax them under the light, and when there the trouble has just oommenoed* It is impossible to get them to hold their heads up. The operator approaches with a sweet smile and a hopeless heart, and makes aa effort to get the head rest behind them tbey yell ss if they were bring tortured all idea of a real

abandoned. He then opens

the light, aad attempts a txrmp d'etat, tries to catch them,

fly, grabs a bell with one hand, snatohee the rag from the machine with the other, at the same time yelling like a wild Comanohe. These movements astonish the cherubs so much that they are struck dumb and motionless for a few seconds, which is taken advantage of by the operator to expose the plate. The agony is over. Mrs. Smith remarks that she hopes she wont have to try it again. The two lady Mends who come with her to aid the affair by their presence say, "The children sat beautifully if the picture is not good, it's no fault of theirs." An unnatural rumbling sound 1B heard in the direotion of the dark room 'tis the operator soliloqniMng. A few faint, blue forked streaks dart from beneath the door. That is all. He reappears smiling, says It's a success. Mrs. Smiih will please call to-morrow and see a proof. She "hopes Mr. Photo won't put one at the door as a specimeh doesn't know whether Mr. Smith would like it or not, but she will see about that." He bows the £*rty out with a sigh of relief, only to go perhaps through the same thing again. Verily the life of a photograper Is not cast altogether in pleasant places.^ A,!

Within the p&st lew years a new branch of the art has been developed. The retouching of negatives, or plates from which the prints are made. It consists of touching with a pencil all spots, freckles snd marks of any kind upon the skin. Shadows can be softened, thin necks, hollow cheeks and sunken eyee may be made plump, round and full, without losing the contour and expression of the faoe. In foot the wrinkles of age can be so softened and subdued by the skillful retoucher that if you are on the shady side of life and desire to look ten or fifteen years younger you have but to order it so.f"

It has often been asked why the PICTURES OP ACTRESSES Are so much better than other people. It is for the simple reason that they come dressed for a photograph, have a knowledge acquired in their profession of graceful positions, do as the operator suggests, and assist him by acting to procure the desired result.

One of the ohief complaints the operator listens to while posing a lady 1B, "I feel so stiff and.iunoomtortable.'' He politely replies, "it is sot a question of how you feel, but of how you look." Another common complaint is, "I eould sit better if my head was not screwed fast in that vice." He replies, "your head is not fastened it is put there to keep the head steady and in the position I have placed it." Very many persons, particularly ladies, tkink that, if they were allowed to throw themseves in a careless, easy position, with no head rest, the picture would be superb. Not so the result is horrid. The arms, perhaps, at right angles with the body, a dislocated wrist, the draperies banging ungracefully, the hands out of proportion, and many features of the face bad.

Every subject requires different treatment, more or JesH. VERY PEW PERFECT FJTOES AND FORMS Present themselves to the photographer, In one the nose la crooked he remedies this by a three quarter or side view. Another has one eye larger than the other, or, mayhap, a slight squint, but never knew it before (a common occurrence). He cures both defeots by a profile, doing away with one eye altogether and showing only the largest and straighteet. The eyes are not always in line, one may be higher than the other he tips the head graoefully and tbey are level. An ill shaped or protruding ear he will cover with the hair. The mouth is, perhaps, large and crooked. He will rest the head in such a manner as to hide this defeot. Are the hands too large to look well They will do better dropped in a fold of the dress, or else aside view presented. And then the drapery must be arranged to suit the figure if a stout lady, the dress will not do with all the fullness in view a thin lady requires the contrary treatment. What can be

It woe, on the

teC'di!

SS®tf

of the expression, the most

important of all It is the l^fe and soul of the photograph, over which the operator has no control he can only say as before, "look pleasant from the eyes."

These ire but a few of bis trials, for his profession is one of science as well as art. His lighting of the picture must be good, and most important of all, his chemicals must work harmoniously, or else all the care and attention bestowed upon the subject goes for naught,

In conclusion, permit us to offer a few suggestions to those about to visit a photographer's studio.

Wear dark clothing, brown, green, yellow and red all take dark, hence look well.

Don't invite your friends, they will only be in the way. When your proof is shown, and you're not pleased, tell the artist frankly what you object to. He can then remedy the trouble but if you say, ss good many do, "I do not like it, and wish to sit again," how can he possibly know what will please you

If yon wear lace, choose that with large, open meshes: it shows the work, fine lace does not.

And remember in choosing a position it is better to leave the whole matter to one who will know at a glance what your hce and figure will do.

THREE south end families had

a little

scare this week. Three boys—the oldest only thirteen years of age—sons of J. A. Parker, S. R. Freeman and^Oonstantine Johnson, were missing on Thursday. Some one reported that three small boys with*blankets and guns were seen going down the river in a boat. At once their fathers jumped at the conclusion that the boys had run away. Mr. Freeman started down the river by land, butl his buggy got stuok in the mud anc^he had to return. Mr. Parker took a boat and went down as far as Darwin, returning by rail yesterday afternoon^to find that the boys had returned home at eight o'clock in the morning. It appears that the reported three gunsnd blanket8 consisted of one three dollar shot gun. Night coming on, the boys oould not see their way home, and so built afire and spent the night in^the woods. The boys disclaim any idea of running away. The disagreeable^night spent in the woods, at any rate, dispelled any such intention, if it existed. 9-

THE Centenary Church Choir Concert is announced for Thursday evening March 18th, and cards of Invitation will be ont the first of the week.

Direotly after the concert every one will be served, in the parlors of the church with ice cream and cake, and a delightful social time is promised by the ladles who always preside so graciously at these pleasant entertainments. Admission to both oonoert and social lunch party, 50 oents.

It must be evident to the thought

ful reader that the merchant who marks his goods in plain figures, and has but one prioe, must necessarily sell his merchandise oheaper, than he who marks

in some mysterious characters and has half a doaen prices for the same article. For an example, a merchant who marks in plain figures and has but one price, has a silk which costs him say 90 cents per yard. He says to hithself I ought to

get at least 91.00 for this silk, but as I sell strictly at one price I must be sure and be under everybody else, BO he marks it *05 oents. Another merchant who marks his goods in mysterious signs and characters, and has a different price for every customer, has the same silk 1 He reasons thus: "I'll mark this silk $1.50, and if I can't get that, it's very easy to fall to fl.40, and if a customer offers me fl.25, I'll sell it for thst, and probably no one will offer me less than $1,25, for a silk I ask them $1.50 for." This Is the wsy this .business!,works every time. Sometimes tbey beat the old gent around^the stump by offering to throw in the buttons threads and some other articles, but It amounts to the same in the end, as you can very well see.
