Maybe after awhile the dispensaries tK will be keeping "Sunday hours." I And Senator Tilluian has been found out West with his pockets full of railroad passes, telegraph franks, etc., just like any other "boodle" Senator. And yet some people still think he is honest in his mouthings about trusts and corporations! No sensible person needs any better proof of corruption in the State dispensary machine than the simple fact of so many fellows wanting the job as member of the State board of directors. This place pays $400 a year, and yet some men spend three or four times this sum trying to get it. These dispensary editors who are continuous apologizers for the system always yell out "specify," and yet they know well enough that no mafi wants the position of State dispensary director for the honor there is in it. The dispensary system is in worse repute now among our people generally than at any time since it's institution, and seems to be growing worse. Awful Crime in Colleton. Walterboro, Aug. 8.?Yesterday between 12 and 1 o'clock one of the most Iuruuu cnuim cvci auuwu >u tuis muut) -was committed at Ciiurch Flat, about two miles from Rautowles station, on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Lizzie Aiken, a negro woman about 40 years old, killed two of her children by cutting their heads off with an axe. One of the children was 5 years old and the other 3. It is said their beads were severed completely from the body, not a nerve or vein or anything left to connect them. The body of the older child was cut in other places, showing that the crazed mother met with some resistance in killing this one. Both children were It seems that an effort was made to horn them after the bloody work of the axe, for a fire had been kindled around the body of the younger child. The woman was committed to jail this morning by Thos. Fields, constable for Magistrate Behling, and from what he aayg the woman must, have been crazy. He says she claimed that a dog came r along and told her the world would be destroyed unless she killed them in order to save the world. She admitted the killing to Magistrate Behling, but now denies it most strenuously. Philip Ramsey was convicted a fewdays ago of the murder of Chas. Bryant, and was sentenced by Judge Watts to lijul? ou iiUC wuiu u.i> ui oc^tcmuci ucai. The- testimony showed that he shot Bryant without any cause or provocation. P?r' Ramsey is a negro boy about 18 or 19 years of age and is strong and muscular. He does not seem to have much intelli[ * gence, and when the sentence of death gtK was pronounced he showed no emotion whatever. This makes two convictions for murder jj?^. without recommendation to mercy in Colleton within the last six months. The other was that of R. A. Adams, a white ; man. convicted for killing Henry Jaques in February last. His execution was stayed on account of an appeal taken to the supreme court. The Yalue of a Yacation. Bpf A vacation pays as much from the Egg- standpoint of character as from any other point of view. Just as "every man is a rascal when he is sick," so the best-intentioned man in the world may be a brute when he is worn out physically, and working and planning, or trying to do so, with a fagged, weary brain. The brutal qualities in a man's nature come to the surface when he has drained his vitality to the dregs. He loses his self? control and his passions get the better of him. He does things which in his soul he condemns, and says things for which ?he afterwards hates himself, and all because he lacks physical stamina. The | . long strain of the year has made him so irritable and exacting that the merest trifle upsets him. He goes all to pieces Pk- over nine tuiugs wiuuu uc wuuiu uui f. even notice if he were in good bodily condition. The "Stocking" Room. The National Bank of Commerce, of sj Kansas City, is one of the foremost financial institutions of the far West.

"Yes, sir," answered the culprit. |j| "What does it mean?" asked his Honor, not yet satisfied. Joseph did not seem to be able to clearly explain.

Annapolis, Mil, August 6.?'The traveller, as he looks through the dusty win- :i dow of his train slowly crossing the great ( Severn draw-bridge, beholds with sur- 1 prise the giaut cranes and tall scaffolds, > that rise high up in the air about two t miles below the bridge. As the train < crosses the bridge, one has time to catch ; only a glimpse of the magnificent view j to be seen from it. ( Quickly the train crosses the river and i after passing several curves finally pulls ( into the station. s Alighting from the car upon the plat- t form of an old depot, one beholds with a < feeling of delight, the great oaks and t maples, which are on all sides. The old t trees have braved the storms of many < years, and still live as a mouumeut to the ] men, who planted them in the seven- 1 teeuth century. ] A group of little negroes, typical of a 1 Southern state, rush at the new comer, 1 all eager to make a dime by carrying his i grip. "I'll tote it all de way to de yard ] tor a dime, sur," they cry. scarcely j knowing where he is being led, the visitor follows, wondering what is uieaut bylhe "yard." Telling his guide to turn from the " yard" to the nearest hotel?a remark which is met with a downcast look on the shining black face, he presently arrives at the city inn, Carvel Hall. The little negro seems to thiuk that the visitor has made a mistake and insists that he go on to "de yard." Anxious to ascertain what and where is the yard, the little negro is closely questioned and finally gives out that out of every five hundred visitors to Annapolis four hundred and ninety-nine go to the Naval Academy, which is known to all as the " yard." Passing through the gate, an old fashioned iron structure brought over from Eugland, one ascends a long flight of steps, which leads to a broad piazza, ex- , tending completely arouud the house. Pausing at the door, the old knocker is , raised and, as the dull thud echoes . through the hall, one recalls this famous old house?made so by a prominent modern novelist. Soon the door with its wide mahogany panels and snowy knobs slowly opens aud the stranger is welcomed by a son of } the old South. His silvery locks hang down upon his shoulders, his piercing eyes are deep set, his deep eyebrows are i drawn, his shoulders are stooped?his every feature tells of poverty; but the ring of his voice assures you that al- . though poverty is felt, it will never be expressed. With a deep bow and a , hearty hand shake he welcomes you to : his home. Carvel Hall is a hotel, but should one * be so thoughtless as to ask for board, his \ host would feel personally insulted. Here the traveller is a visitor, no register is ! kept, and, when the bill is paid, it is for the "room I have occupied."

There is the coat of 1 arms of the Carvel family, and there on * the wall hang the paintings of the ances- 1 tors of your proud host. He takes great ' interest in telling you the personal his- ' tory of each of the tine faces on the s wall. There is one who fought in the * War of the Roses; there is one being conferred with the order "of knighthood; there is one in the throes of death on the ' field of Naseby; there is the first to come 1 to America, and so on with the whole 1 line, he tells their history. * Every corner in the old house has some > peculiar point of interest attached to it. * On the broad piazza one still can sit in ] the old-fashioned rocker. From here is i an excellent view of the town. On both 1 sides of the narrow, crooked lanes are i houses crumbling with age?their walls < are clad with ivjT, which was at first only I planted beside the great wide chimneys. ? Over on the right can be seen the spire 1 of the famous old St. Anne's Episcopal ( Church built in 1640 and its famous old ? church yard. Over on the left is the 1 State Capitol with its stately chambers, which echoed alike with the words of great men as they debated the cause of the Revolution and the cause of States' Rights. I The streets are quite interesting. Some c are narrow and straight, others broad } and crooked. The most curious of all, 1 however, are the circles. These are the * streets, which were laid out by the early J colonists, and are in the shape of perfect * circles. Oue, not knowing the town, 1 will find it very difficult to keep from } retracing his steps for hours at a time. ! The streets still bear the names given * them in the early days. For instance, s one will pass along Prince street, Duke v of Gloucester street, Queen Ann street, c King George street, and Berefot street. When night falls the traveller slowly ' wanders back to the iun, and is again met by the host. Before allowing him to retire, he brings out from the glitter- y iug side-board a decanter and fills up the s glasses with his famous Maryland wine. j Now he is at his best, and proudly boasts ] of his ancestors, his wealth before the ( war, Ms old uome, us lair misiress, nis i brave sons, and bis beautiful daughter. ?

To encourage this among the 1 clerks it is the policy of the house to ^ allow a certain commission ou all sales outside, where such sales do uot conflict with the regular salesmen. The youth iu question, just past sixteen, sold a bill of silk a few days ago iu Manayuuk, ( which is his home. After waiting two t days for the order to be passed to the 1 store for attention he approached the i credit man and made inquiry about the delay. He was told that before a mere i account could be opened something must i be learned about the staudiug of the s person placing the order. This had s never occurred to the young salesman J and for a moment he was lost as to what to say. Seeing his embarrassment the ^ credit man said : " Well, Smith, what dp f you know about this man V Possibly ^ vou can give us the desired information " f bulling himself together and assuming t the air of a salesman of many years' c experience, he said: "Well, I'll tell you; he is the uncle of my girl, and if he's like her he's all right.

A story of an heroic and intelligent ict by a young collie dog comes from Cage's Lake, 111., and as a result the dog las found a new home, and where he vill tie treated as one of the family. One tfternoon, a few days ago, a 31-year-old :hild disappeared from the camp 011 the shores of the lake where the child's jarents were enjoying an outing. When larkuess came on the child had not put n an appearance, and everybody turned >ut to search for her. All night the search was kept up, and the anxiety of ;he parents knew no bounds. Finally it was concluded the little one had died in lie water, vid arrangements were made jy the father to drag the lake. The camp >f the family is on the farm of Henry VIeak. The next day, about 10 o'clock, VIr. Meak was returning from driving jis cattle to pasture, and his dog ran with him. Suddenly the animal began marking terrifically under a pile of brush. Mr. Meak thought little of it and passed on, calling to the dog to follow, but the animal kept on barking and refused to move. Fiually, drawn from curiosity, the dog's owner thought he would investigate, and going to the brush, saw asleep on the ground the little wanderer, wholly oblivions to her surroundings, aud unconscious that she had been the cause of so much excitement and worry, says the Live Stock Tribune. She was picked up and carried home to the tearful mother, aud the entire community rejoiced at her beiug found. The father of the child went to the farmer and insisted that he should have the dog. He gave a good price for Lhe collie, which is now the hero of the lake region. Dysentery Cared Without the Aid of a Doctor. " I am just up from a hard spell of the flux," (dysentery) says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well known merchant of Drummond, Tenn. " I used one small bottle of Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy and wa9 cured without having a ioetor. I consider it the best cholera medicine in the world." There is no need of employing a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe i belter medicine for bowel complaint in iny form, either for children or adults.

The following appeared in last Friday's press dispatches from Chicago : United States Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, is reported to be lost somewhere between Kansas City and Chicago. He was booked for apartments in the Auditorium Hotel and a number of politicians, who are gathered there for a conference, are anxiously awaiting his coming. He is reported to have left a train, having failed to find his transportation or cash, and so far as can be learned from railroad officials, he is at a way station awaiting a remittance. Senator Tillman is said to have found, when asked on the train for his ticket, that his pockets had been picked and that he had nothing on his person to identify him to the conductor. The trainmen telegraphed for instructions hut the Chicago officials had no means of determining whether or not the passenger was an irnposter, and instructed the couductor to use his JUUgiUCUt. Tiie train has since reached Chicago aud the conductor has vanished. Senator Tillman has failed to appear either at the Auditorium or any other hotel. There is a story going around among Chicago railroad men that the conductor did not know Senator Tillman aud ejected him from the train, and that the Senator is stranded. Telegrams sent along the line have failed to locate him. At midnight prominent railroad officials were sending telegrams broadcast making inquiries for the lost senator. Saturday's dispatches brought the following from St. Louis: Senator Benjamin R.Tillman, of South Carolina, arrived in the city last night from Shelbyville, Illinois, where he delivered an address before the Lithia Springs Chautauqua, departing to-day for Kausas. Immediately upon arriving here the senator notified the various railroads, express aud telegraph companies of the loss of his wallet filled with passes and franks. The Senator was loth to admit that he had been "touched" but his wallet had disappeared. He rather resented the suggestion that he had been robbed, stating that his wallet must have fallen out of his pocket, aud doubted the ability of a pickpocket to touch him. When asked if it was not something unusual for him to accept railroad passes aud corporation franks, Senator Tillman said : " How can I help accepting them ? TLey stick to me 'till naturally I have to take them. Tbey don't influence my vote or talk. It is different down in our country from what it is up here. You have not heard of anybody being bought with thousand dollar bills down our- way, have you ? " The natural inference is that bills of a smaller denomination would be ample compensation?even a railroad pass on some jerkwater railroad. The Senator is so intensely in earnest in his war against corporation influeuce, that he failed to see the humor their passes put to his remarks. Pats an End to it All.

When a mere lad I hud often hoard It said that the eating of onions and lemons was a protection against contagious diseases, and when about eighteen years of age I had an opportunity to test them for myself. I had spent the winter in the city of New Orleans, where, in the spring, yellow fever of a virulent type made its appearance, causing an urgent demand for nurses, and. having faith in what I h*d heard of the protective power of odk>ns and lemons, I concluded to take what my friends called a ghastly risk and made application at the Common Street hospital for a position as nurse, was accepted and entered at once upon a line of duty, in commencing which I began the use of raw onions and lemons, alternating weekly with lemons, always taking them just before going to bed. I took no other remedy, although medicine was provided every morning for all attaches. At the expiration of the tenth week I was no longer needed and left In as vigorous health as when I entered the hospital. On taking my departure 1 was reI minded by the head physician that his medicine had probably preserved my health. Nevertheless a number of nurses and attaches had $ed of the fever, despite his vaunted mbdical abilj ity. Before leaving the institution I ac! quainted the doctor with the fact that I had not used his medicine, but had j relied solely upon my onion-lemon treatment, when he said it was a wonI der that it had not killed me and if it had that I had deserved it. On another occasion I had a similar experience with smallpox cases in a northern city, finding the onion and lemon a perfect protection to myself and many of my associates.?Medical Talk. THE BOY JOHN WESLEY. Ho Evidence of Any Precocioaaneas la Hla Heliffiona Development. Of the nineteen children born to Samuel and Susanna Wesley only ten survived the period of infancy, and of these only three were sons. John was thirteen years" younger than Samuel and six years older than Charles. Of his early boyhood only one incident is recorded. On a February night in 170S the rectory was burned. The family, hurrying out in terror, left the boy John sleeping in his attic chamber, and he was taken out through a window only an instant before the blazing rooi fell in upon his bed. Wesley always retained a vivid recollection of the scene, and more than a half century later, when, thinking himself near death, he composed his epitaph, he de scribes himself as "a brand plucked from the burning." His mother deemed his rescue a prov idential indication that her son was preserved for some great work and re solved, as she says, "to be more particularly careful of the soul of this chile that Thou hast so mercifully provided for." There is, however, no evidence of anything precocious in the religious development of the boy, but only a cer tain staid, overdeliberateness which h< got from his mother, but which to the more mercurial temperament of the fa ther seemed in a lad not yet in his teens half amusing and half vexatious "Sweetheart," said the rector to his wife, "I profess I think our boy Jacl wouldn't attend to the most pressing necessities of nature unless he coulc give a reason for it"?C.

About the year 1500 one James Fitzsteplions Lynch was mayor of the town of Galway, In Ireland. lie had sent his son on a trading expedition to Spain with a good cargo and a large sum of money. The young man returned with a ship load of valuable commodities, which he reported as having been purchased with the money and with the proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After some time a Spaniard came along, demanding payment from the mayor for the goods he alleged had been bought on credit by his son. The mayor do clincd payment, as his son averred he had paid in cash for the goods. Unfortunately for the latter, a sailor who had been one of the crew on exaltation by Mayor Lynch declared that his unworthy son had spent in reckless debauchery not only the money intrusted to him, but the proceeds of the cargo as well; that he had then bought goods from a large firm on credit, and ' 1 ^^ nortnnro nf tho lilUl WUtfXl OUC Ul luc |Hiiiuv>? U? firm came down to the ship before sailing to receive the money young Lynch murdered the man and had him thrown overboard to conceal the facts from his father. The young man was immediately arrested and brought before his father, who, notwithstanding the tearfui entreaties of his wife and daughters, sentenced him to death. He took him upstairs in his warehouse, adjusted a rope around his neck, having first secured it inside, and then pushed the young man out of the window, where his dying struggles were witnessed by the inhabitants of the town of Galway. In the town records this entry is yet to be seen: "James Lynch, mayor of Galway, hanged his own son out of the window for defrauding and killing strangers, without martial or common law, to show a good example to posterity." It may be from that incident that lynch law took its name. It is not a peculiar American institution, as is commonly supposed, but has been practiced ! in other countries. The English had a walled town in Devonshire of the name , or Lydford, which became noted for j , the summary punishments inflicted on i ' notorious offenders. They became pro- j ( verbial in England as Lydford law, ; and it is not impossible that lynch may I be a corruption of Lydford. In Scotland j it was known as "Jedburgh justice." James Lynch, a justice of the peace , in one of the Piedmont counties in Vir' ginia, whose methods were both sumk mary and severe, is also credited with having given his name to this offhand . and expeditious mode of dealing with criminals now generally known as I lynch law.?Pittsburg Gazette. General Grant's Supreme Cuarag*. General Grant's courage was su preme. No man could face danger with greater composure. He did not seem I to know the meaning of peril when I duty called him to risk bis life. At one ; time I saw the general escape death by | a very slight margin. We were break. lng camp at Spottsylvanla Court House j and under the fire of a Confederate ? battery. All of the headquarters equi. page had been removed except a camp ] stool, and on this the general was sit. ting, while the shells of the enemy's 3 guns shrieked over our heads. A shell c passed just over the general, not mlsaj ing him apparently by more than a few I inches, and struck the ground about r thirty feet away. Without showing the slightest nervousness he called to me to get the shell, saying, "Let's see what kind of ammunition that bat tery is using." I went and picked up - the shell, which was a six pound spherical case, and the general examined it i as coolly as if there was not an enemy's r gun within 100 miles of him.?National 1 Magazine.
