The. correspondent of the News from Clyde says there is jpeat indignation in his section over the killing of Ben Kelly by the posse near Chesterfield. He also says the impression is that Kelly was never halted, but was shot down without a word of warning. Of course, it will probably never be known whether Kelly was halted or not, as there were no eye wit nesses to the shooting outside of Kelly and the four men in the posse. However, it matters very little whether Kelly was halted or not before being fired upon, the principle of shooting men down because they chose to deal in whiskey contrary to. law is the same? Is a man to > instantly fired upon, while ^^waveUng the public road, be cause he draws a pistol after being halted? The idea is pre- postSrous, for the reason that any man, who is a man at all, would at once draw his pistol, under such circumstances, if he had one. Of course the posse will be tried and the peo pie put to great expense for nothing—Kelly will be held up as a desperate charac ter and the whole thing will end in nothing. The Columbia Slate offers a gold watch to the most popular Legislator, the watch to be presented at the end of the ses sion. The legislator who is anxious to get that watch can accomplish his purpose by in troducing a bill and having it passed, which will do away with the outrageous dispensary system. The editor of Thh News is satisfied that such a Legislator would be popular withe the readers of the State, and, if there is such a man elected to the next Legislature, he had better go to work at once and make himself famous. Dispensary constables have killed a man in the “dark cor ner” of Greenville county. Of course he was a desperate char acter and the constables would have been killed had they not got the drop on him. Since the constables seem to be able to find so many desperate whis key sellers to shoot down would it not be well for these same des peradoes, who deal in whiskey, to hand themselves together and hunt the constables. A war or extermination on both sides would rid the State of a lawless g mg who are continually keep in« lawabiding people in a state of turmoil. Dorchester, Greenwood and Cherokee counties will be added to the number of counties which already adorn the map of South Carolina, but Salem and Cal houn are to be left off. On ac count of the many restrictions placed around the forming of new counties, it appeared atone time that very few of them would be created, but such is \ not the case: Where there is a , real need for a new county the - people will probably recognize the fact and will not be slow to nek When the Legislature meets a committee should be app< ~ IptoiBsestigstetheUmd steal with fuli power to any and aU persons conld be of any service any people in Riverdale township and other parts of the county are anxious to have su pervisor King answer the ques tions asked in The News in the issue of December 17. There seems to be great complaint as to the workings of the new road law, and, if Mr. King would ex plain matters satisfactorily he might allay much of the discon tent. Otherwise, people will continue to kick until some thing is done to give them bet ter roads. The communication in The News this week in regard to the new circulating library, which has been organized by Capt. Thompson, is most timely and voices the sentiment of the com munity. It is difficult to esti mate the value of such an un dertaxing and the citizens of the town should do all in their power to make the library a grand success and the pride and admiration of the town and community. The Pythian Lodge Secret, published in Atlanta, is now one of the exchanges of The News. The Pythian Lodge Se cret is a sixteen-page-four-col- amn publication, printed on very fine book-paper and con tains a great deal of matter very interesting to the craft. It is a great addition to the ex change list of The News. The Railroad Gommiosion ought to be investigated by the Legislature and the people ought to be informed of the true state of affairs. With the dispensary, bond steal and Rail road Commission to investigate and many other matters of great importance, which re quire much attention, the Leg islature will perhaps remain in session three months. President Cleveland shot ducks on the Annandale club reserve near Georgetown last week. On his return trip he met the citizens of the town in the hall of the Indigo Society. The President said the shooting was the finest he ever saw, and, that being the case, the pepol*- of Georgetown, will probably have another opportunity to shake his hand. It is reported that 85,000 elep hants have been killed during the past twelve months and that they have yielded 900 tons of ivory. These valuable animals are being slaughtered so rapid ly, on account of their tusks, that it has been found necces- SLiry to pass laws in India in or der to keep them from being en tirely extinguished. Where is the Hon. John Law rence Manning Irby, Senator from South Caiolina? Nothing has been heard from this indi vidual since some time betore the Senatorial campaign. Sure ly he is not going to retire to private life without firing one more broadside at the immor tal Ben Tillman who was the means of bis downfall. The Spartanburg Herald has been engaging in a controver sy with the Piedmont Head- liaht of late. Keep clear of such always with papers like the Headlight, co temporary. Argument has no effect on Lar ry Gantt, and you need never hope to equal, much less sur pass Larry in slinging filth. It is reported that “Buncd” McBee has sold his contract with Bryan for $25,000, If the report be true “Bunch” McBee is a wise man in his day and generation, because it is not probable that Billy Bryan will be the success as a lecturer that he wasasapolitical campaigner. Let us hope that Governor Ellerbe will give the Charleston people a most welcome New Year’s present in the shape of removing the odious motropoli tan police from the city. It is suggested in the Scienti fic American that on January I, WOO, a new division of the years into thirteen months be instituted. It is claimsd that this is not so preposterous as most people would be likely , to consuhr' it at the first thought. If such a division were made, the first twelve months would have just twenty • eight days, or four weeks each, and the new month twenty-nine, to make 365, and thirty in leap years. After a few days there would be no need to refer to calendars, as the same day of the week would have the same date through the year. If Jan uary 1 were, say Monday, every Monday would be the 1st, 8th, loth and 22d; every Tuesday the 2d, 9th, 16ih and 23d, and so on through the year. The changes of the moon would be on about the same dates through the year- and many calculati ms, like in, terest, dates of maturing notea, Easter Sunday and many other important dates would be simp lified. Although the present generation would have to figure new dates for birthdays and all legal holidays, except New Year’s would be on different dates, yet the gain would be more than the loss, as that would be permanent and theob jections trifling.—Exchange. ADVENTURE AT SEA. ▲ Fight With an Albatross and A Bes<ma From Death. Most extraordinary are the details of the gallant notion for which an Albert medal of the first class was conferred on Thomas Averett Whis tler, first mate of the ship Ennerdale of Liverpool. Early in *the morning of Deo. 17, 1885, when the Ennerdale waa round ing Cape Horn, an apprentice named Dunoan MoCallnm waa sent aloft to loose the skysail. The Ennerdale, I should mention, was one of Messrs. J. D.' Newton’s Dale line of steam ers. Presently, as the captain waa da •oending from the poop, he saw a heavy body strike the main rigging a little above the bulwark and re bound into the sea. That “heavy body”/ was MoCallnm, and, the ship being almost under full sail at the time, he was carried rapidly astern. Immediately after this trngio oc currence H. S. Pochin, an able sea man, leaped overboard after the ap prentice, but the latter sank before Poobin could reach him. All things considered, the rescuer’s position was now pretty serious, and, fearing lest be should he seized with cramp before a boat conld oome to his as sistance, he hailed the ship, asking for a life buoy to be thrown to him. At the same moment the master, Captain Ounson, called all bands to man a boat. The first mate, Mr. Whistler, who bad been asleep in his berth, ran on deck and heard Po- chin’s hail. Calling to the boat swain to heave him a life buoy, heat once sprang overboard, secured the life buoy which was thrown to him and succeeded in reaching Poobin. This poor man was already on the point of sinking, but, with the help of the life buoy, Whistler was able-to keep him up. Meanwhile considerable delay had occurred in the dispatch of the boat. For one thing, her lashings bad been secured very firmly for the passage round Cape Horn, and when she was launched so many men crowded into her that she capsized, which says much for the uopularity of Whistler. The boat was soon right ed, however, and dispatched in charge of the third mate and two seamen. All this time the two men in the water were rapidly becoming exhausted, and they had made up their minds to abandon the life buoy and strike out side by side for the ship when they were confronted by a new, weird danger. An immense albatross swept down majestically on Poobin and Whistler, and, after hovering round quite close to their heads, alighted on the water just beyond arm’s length. There the great bird remained, star ing them in the face and evidently only waiting until they had become a little more exhausted. In a few minutes, however, the boat reaobed the spot, and its orew drew their perishing shipmates out of the wa ter. Directly they were lifted into the boat both men became insensi ble, and W histler was delirious for semetime afterward. Amazing aa it may seem, the two men had re mained in the piercingly oold water for npwt.Td of 40 minutes. The ex pectant albatross waa £ieatly disap pointed at the turn events had taken end had to be driven off with a boat hook. It was a remarkable fact that the attack of this bird contributed not a little to the saving of the lives of both W histler and Poobin. This was because their vigorous efforts to beat off tbe savage bird materially helped to keep their blood in circu lation, thereby averting tbe fatal cramp.—Btrand Magazine. Turninf- the Tables.

I ART OF GOING TO BED. nidtoalmM Practice* In Otherwise Well Ordered Household*. Ernest Hart, D. C. L., of London thinks that at the end of 5,000 years very few of us understand tbe ele mentary principles of comfort and bealth, and then treats wbat seems the not too oomplioated subject of going to bed. The management of the bedroom and the art of going to bed would seem to be very simple matters, as to which some rational principles and comfortable and healthy customs might be expected to prevail. Let us see if this is so. Take the case of the ordinary well to do Englishman. He leaves in the winter a warm, well lighted and per haps sumptuously furnished room and he ascends through a oold stair case to a room of which the temper ature is not determined and is very apt to be below 60 degrees. In how few of our homes are the passages and staircases warmed by a base ment stove or base burner. If be is thoughtful and wbat is called self indulgent, he will have the room warmed by a ooal fire ora gas stove. This is, however, by no means a universal rule and is frequently re served only for the heads of the es tablishment or for what are called delicate people. The room is rarely well or conveniently lighted, and the fittings commonly used are cen turies behind our modern knowl edge. It is only here and there that hot and oold water are laid on or that the lighting oan be without ef fort shifted from the dressing table to the bed bead and controlled from a convenient place near the bed. Tbe olothing is then removed, and the unhappy person then puts on some thing Which is called a “nightgown," a sort of linen or ootton sack with' sleeves, which leaves the lower limhe and feet more or less uncover ed and at onoe makes a man an un comfortable and ridioulous object. It is tbe olothing of the primeval savage. If a ridioulous situation is needed for a farce, it. is commonly created by a night alarm at which the sleepers appear in this ridioulous guise at the bedroom door. Tbe bed ia a ridioulous oontriv- anoe, having the worst of all cover ings, linen sheets, the foster moth- erabf rheumatism and the worst ol alPmaterial for oontaot with the skin. To counterbalance its defects and increase the miseries a heavy superabundant mass of blankets and qqilts is imposed, and to prevent any ccdnfortable or free movement oi the limbs these are “tucked in' 1 around the edges, constituting a huge set of swaddling clothes such as only savages now employ even for children. The fire now is gener ally allowed to become extinot, ii ever lighted, and those who have passed their day in warm rooms of ten spend the nigbt in a chamber in which tbe temperature is not much above freezing point and to mitigate which a complete reolothing of tbe body is required. The reasonable practice would require first that for tbe present hideous and ridiou lous nightgown pyjamas of various degrees of warmth or thinness should be provided. The present bedstead and bedclotbing should be altogether discarded, and two light eider downs like the Indian resai or the Japanese futon should he worn of a texture suited to the occasion. The room should be kept at a tem perature which never falls below 60 degrees, and in another part of it should be placed a long “deck chair” with ousbions, to which, if the sleep er grows restless, he oan easily transfer himself and repose at any angle. That is how to go to bed rationally, healthily, prepared for the emorgenoies of the night wheth er of sleeplessness or household acci dent.—Providenoe Journal. Material* For Bnraod Woodwork. As of old the master wood carvers and violin makers hoarded flawless, dry wood, so must the wood burner of today keep a vigilant eye upon the lumber yards and lay in a stock of flawless, dry wood. His material cannot be too well seasoned. It must be white, free from gum and soft, white because contrasts are wanted and free from rosin that it may not turn black with age. As it is tbe fiber of the wood wbiob is blackened or carbonized, not the resin, it is ob vious that tbe freer the wood ia from gummy substances the better. Tbe most satisfactory fire etching has been done on panels of French pop lar, wbiob is soft, white, close grain ed and' free from gum. The com mon white wood or yellow poplar of America yields readily to treat ment with the hot iron and oan be suooessfully used in conjunction with harder, rarer woods, as be neath the magio touch of the burn ing tool if becomes riob and solid. Tbe harder woods are more difficult to work, but by combining the nat ural grain of woods like maple or oak with therioh burned tones beau tiful results may be obtained.—J. William Fosdiok in Century. UaSar the Rom. The expression “under the rose,” or sub rosa, to indicate sooreoy, orig inates in the Greek mythological story that Cupid gave Harpoorates, the god of silenoa, a golden rose, de siring him at the same time not to betray the amour of Venus. Accord ing to another aooount, the traitors against the Greek states during thh invasion of Xerxes held their meet ings in an Athenian arbor formed of rosebushes. At Greek and Roman banquets the guests were always crowned with roses, and a cluster of these hung above the banqueting table waa a sign that wbat was said in that place should not be repeated elsewhere. A Worm That Ottawa in»» A few years ago the engineers em ployed on tho railway at Hagan, in Germany, were puzzled by accidents which always occurred at the same place. The government sent a com mission to the spot. It was not, however, until six months had elapsed that the surface of the rails appeared to be corroded as if by acid to the extent of over 100 yards. The rail was taken up and broken, when it was found to be literally honey combed by a thin, threadlike gray worm. The worm was about two centimeters in length and about the size of a small knitting needle. On the head arc two little sacs or glands filled with a roost powerful corrosive secretion, which is ejected every ten minutes when tho insect is lying undisturbed. This liquid, when squirted upon iron, renders that metal soft and spongy and of the color of rust, when it is easily and greedily eaten by iho little insect.— L.“iCS JjkjMjwojan™ Woman's Diseases Are aa peculiar as unavoidable, and cannot be discuss ed or treated as we do those to which the entire human family are subject. Menstruation sus tains such import ant relations to her 1 health, that when Suppressed, Irregu lar or Painful, she soon becomes languid, nervous and irritable, the bloom leaves her cheek and very grave complica tions arise unless Regularity and Vigor are restored to these organs.
